In Shimane, Japan's smallest and least popular prefecture, lies the city of Izumo, a tiny, sparsely populated town filled with greenery and wildlife. The city of Izumo is by no means famous - in fact, few people have even heard of the place - however it holds a specific charm and simple comfort. XX
The residents of Izumo are few, and create a close-knit society of people who have known one another since birth. Tourists are rare, new residents even more so, and the only landmark known by any outsiders is the sacred Izumo Taisha Shinto shrine, owned by Izumo's Mayor, Nekomura Hideto. XX
Due to the elderly Mayor's age, his grandson, Hajime, is the one who watches over and cares for the shrine. And, unfortunately, Hajime is not fully human: he harbors the powers of a God and has thus been shunned by the other members of the town, who only pay him any heed when it is absolutely necessary to. Not that he's really alone, stray cats adore him. XXX
One beautiful spring day, a new family arrives in the rural town, and to everyone's surprise, the decide to stay. The town's residents are overjoyed and waste no time in welcoming the family to Izumo, introducing the town's customs and everyday ways of life. Its a 'milestone', the Mayor says. XX
However, the new family's teenage son seems to be the only one who isn't excited about the move, and its understandable - Izumo is definitely a harsh change from the bustling city atmosphere in Tokyo. He isn't happy with the choice to move, and makes it very obvious, even being a bit rude. XX
A chance encounter with Izumo's 'God of Cats' might change his mind. XX

[justify][font=georgia][size=90][color=black][i]Hajime looked around the familiar white dimension, the floor beneath him being a sea of water that hardly moved except for the ripples moving out from where he stood. The white space was void of anything except himself and the cat Youkai that towered before him, dark blood-red patterns twirling together across its thick, ebony-black fur.[/i][/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=#B22222][i][b]You seem oh-so excited to be here, Hajime, if that blank expression says anything about it.[/b][/i][/color] [color=black][i]Hiniku's words echoed in Hajime's head, the God before him shifting to lay with his head just inches away from Hajime's own.[/i][/color] [color=#EE1D24][i]Your sarcasm is likely the most annoying thing about having you inside me, Hiniku. Its bad enough that everyone in town hates me because of you, but I also have to listen to you all day long.[/i][/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=black][i]Hiniku laughed, his nine tails shifting to curl around Hajime like winter scarves.[/i][/color] [color=#B22222][i][b]Aw, but you know you've grown to love me, there's no point in hiding it. After all, I'm here inside your head, so I know every thought you have.[/b][/i][/color] [color=black][i]The giant cat almost looked as if it were smiling. Hajime let out a tired sigh, knowing Hiniku was right and wanting nothing more than to wake up, if only for a few moments of peace.[/i][/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color][/size][/font][/justify][center][font=georgia][size=90][color=black]---[/color][/size][/font][/center]
[justify][font=georgia][size=90][color=black]Hajime's eyes opened slowly, his vision still filled with white, though now it was the white of his bedsheets rather than the bland surroundings of the realm where he spent his time while he slept. The white dimension of his dreams had never changed since he was a child, not even a little bit, and it was almost comforting, so bland and familiar.[/color] [color=transparent]XXXX[/color]
[color=black]Sitting up with a quiet sigh, Hajime blinked a few times as he was struck with the sunlight that was streaming in through his open window. Kuro, a black cat who had a habit of stealing Hajime's pencils, was sitting in the windowsill, sunbathing with the most satisfied expression a cat could have.[/color] [color=#EE1D24][i]Good morning, Kuro.[/i][/color] [color=black]The cat's return greeting sounded in his head, and Kuro stretched out in his spot, letting out a huge, cat-like yawn.[/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=black]Five minutes passed before Hajime was dressed in his gym uniform - he was far too lazy to actually come up with an outfit every day he didn't have school - and he moved slowly toward the bathroom to comb his hair. It didn't take long, since he hardly moved in his sleep and didn't often get bedhead. Once he was finished, he followed Kuro back to his bedroom to grab his Miko uniform and then padded quietly down the hall to the kitchen.[/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=black]The first thing Hajime did when he reached the kitchen was open up the rice paper doors dividing the room from the garden outside, allowing the light in along with a multitude of other cats, all of which jumped straight into morning greetings, both with telepathic 'hello's and physical rubbing on his legs. Hajime sighed and maneuvered carefully around them toward the stove, getting to work in cooking them all breakfast.[/color] [color=transparent]XXX[/color]
[color=black]Breakfast, as usual, was salmon and rice, along with miso soup. Hajime sat on the porch as he ate, surrounded by at least twenty stray cats who were also eating happily. He'd long since gotten used to being surrounded by cats, and knew the names of every one of them, though he didn't really need to since they all communicated telepathically.[/color] [color=#F16522][i]I suppose that's one thing I can be grateful to Hiniku for.[/i][/color] [color=#B22222][i][b]That's right! You should appreciate me more, my dear Hajime, its such a rare thing these days. When you were a child you used to praise me all the time.[/b][/i][/color] [color=black]Hajime ignored the Youkai, instead shifting his focus to the conversation his breakfast companions were having about types of fish.[/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=black]Once the meal was finished and all the dishes had been cleaned, Hajime began the journey down the long set of stairs that connected his house at the top of the hill to the Izumo Taisha shrine that sat further down, his horde of feline companions following close behind. At the Shrine, he changed from his gym clothes into his Miko uniform and got to work cleaning, sweeping the floors of the Shrine and dusting the few artifacts that were dotted around the room. He chatted silently with Ushima, a black and white cat who never left the shrine, while he worked. Ushima was by far the oldest of all his cats, having lived at the Izumo Taisha shrine since before Hajime was born, and was also very likely the wisest.[/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=black]Time passed slowly as Hajime tended to the shrine, carefully cleaning every inch of the shrine house and promptly performing his morning prayers, a habit he'd formed when he was a child and had never failed to uphold. After he was finished cleaning the shrine house, he moved outside to sweep up the cherry blossom petals that were littering the stone walkway. While he was working, a pair of elderly women came into view at the shrine's entrance, chatting about something that was making them laugh. Their expressions turned sour when they caught sight of him. "[/color][color=#EE1D24]Ohayo gozaimashita, Isami-san, Yamada-san.[/color][color=black]" Hajime said, bowing to them politely. The two women scoffed and hurried past him. Hajime didn't bat an eyelash at how rude the visitors had been, since he was far too used to being treated so, and simply continued sweeping.[/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color]
[color=black][i][b]Hajime, there's a boy here I've never seen before. Didn't your grandfather say something about a new family moving in yesterday? Maybe this is him.[/b][/i] A voice echoed in his head, and Hajime linked it to Chara, a chocolate-colored cat who was hell-bent on finding him a human friend. Hajime sighed for the millionth time that day.[/color] [color=#EE1D24][i]Chara, I really don't need any human friends. No one in this town in going to come near me, so you shouldn't waste your time. Whoever it is, leave him be.[/i][/color] [color=black][i][b]Too late! I got him to follow me, and he's coming up toward the shrine now~[/b][/i] Hajime let out another sigh, this one with the slightest hint of frustration. He didn't stop his sweeping until he heard footsteps at the shrine's entrance, turning toward the visitor with his usual blank expression and bowing out of pure habit.[/color] [color=transparent]XXXXX[/color]
[color=black]"[/color][color=#EE1D24]Welcome to the Izumo Taisha Shinto Shrine. You may visit free of charge, but please don't touch any of the artifacts in the shrine house. Thank you for your visit.[/color][color=black]" Hajime said, his voice as monotone as one thought possible. Once he was finished speaking, he went back to sweeping, his mouth curling into a frown when a gust of wind blew more cherry petals onto the path. With another sigh, Hajime tucked the broom under his arm and headed off toward the shrine house, putting the broom away and instead taking a seat underneath one of the blossoming cherry trees with his sketchbook in hand, his many cats lazing about around him.[/color] [color=#B22222][i][b]You really should try talking to that kid. They might not have poisoned him with stories yet, he might not even know who you are. If you try, you might actually make a friend, Hajime.[/b][/i][/color] [color=transparent]XX[/color][/size][/font][/justify]
