As the busy scene continued to get busier, one person in particular stood out among the rest. It was what looked like a woman. Her skin was fair, her hair a bright red being held up with a frilly bow. She wore a pink summer kimono with roses all over it. She was at one of the many clothing stands, looking around as she fanned herself with a red feminine fan.

When Shino saw the woman, her jaw dropped. She unconsciously stepped towards her, as if drawn by an invisible thread. She had been unaware that such beauty existed, and felt sure that she must be some sort of god come to visit the mortal realm.

The woman turned as she was approached, looking curiously to the young girl.

At the sudden eye contact, Shino jumped back, startled. She bowed quickly in apology but, unable to contain her coughs any longer, was unable to say anything.

"Did you need something...?" She asked softly, still looking at her curiously.

"N-no... madam.... I was just captivated.... by your.... beauty..." Shino wheezed between coughs.

She chuckled. "Well, thanks... I'm glad my beauty is appreciated somewhere." She ran her finger through her long hair.

Shino blushed and stayed in a bowed position, partially out of nerves, and partially because she didn't want the woman to see how red her face had surely become.

"Well, I've gotta get going," She says as the clerk of the stand handed her a couple of neatly folded kimonos. "Have to go try these on at home. They're beautifully made." She grinned happily and began walking away.

Shino stood up straight again. "Y-you bought two kimonos..?! At once...?! Are you a princess?"

"Princess...?" She grinned. "Sometimes I wish."

Shino blushed again and looked down nervously at her too-short and tattered yukata. "I-I apologize... I was out of line..."

She shook her head. "No, you're fine, I just really have to get home now."

She nodded again quickly. "It was a pleasure to speak with you... thank you for humoring me, madam."

She flashed another smile before hurrying off, leaving the town and going into the forest.

Shino bit her lip, then quietly followed behind the beautiful woman. She knew it was wrong, but she had to see where such a magnificent woman lived, even if she only got a short glimpse before going back into town.

She walked for a long while, going deep into the forest. She finally came across the two story home she lived in, which was surrounded by beautiful greenery and a little stream that went passed it. The woman hummed as she clung onto her kimonos, walking up the steps to the door.

Shino's eyes widened as she tentatively approached the house. It was more like a castle, really. She had never seen a building so grand, and she could only imagine what it looked like inside.

As she was about to open the door, the woman stopped. She looked around, eventually meeting Shino's gaze. "Oh... Hello..."

Shino's entire face turned bright red and she dropped into a deep bow. "I-I'm so sorry..!"

She just gazed.at her softly, taking a step towards her. "What's your name...?"

"Sh-Shino...." she replied, not daring to look up.

"Where do you live, Shino?" She asked softly, still gazing at her.

"O-on a small farm about a mile outside of town..."

"Hmm." She responded, seemingly enchanted by the young girl. "Will you wait out here for a moment...? I'll be right back."

"Y-yes, madam...." she replied, still stuck stiffly in a deep bow.

She quickly went inside. When she returned a few minutes later, she would be dressed in a pair if nice men's robes, her hair now tied back in a manly way, losing the bow. She took a step forward, taking her hand. "Let's go see your father."

Shino blinked and her cheeks flushed an even darker red. "E-excuse me...?"

"U-um... wh-where is the lady from before..? Are you her... um... b-brother..?" she asked nervously.
