Toya was still fighting his jealous mood as he slowly walked to the shrine. He had every intention of following Kyoko and straightening this out. He couldn’t stand thinking she was mad at him.
His senses spiked, telling him he wasn’t alone. He glanced up to find Shinbe leaning back against one of the surrounding boulders left over from some forgotten castle that used to stand here. His hands were neatly tucked into his trench coat with his staff lying across his lap. He was leaning his head back with his eyes closed, as if sleeping.
“Wake up, you stupid letch!” Toya yelled at him, now more annoyed than ever.
Shinbe cracked open one sleepy eye, then closed it again, “What do you want, Toya?”
Toya fumed, “What do I want? I want to know what the hell you’re doing sitting here.”
