Hitomi<br/><br/>I give an exasperated sigh and turn back toward her.  Just to make sure she understood, honest! "I am not playing dumb.  I did not cast any spell, I communed with the kami to see what I could find out.  Now I am going to perform the purification ritual, and I am going to leave to see if I can find out what has happened to one of my friends.  I do not want to be here, but I do not have much of a<em>choice</em>in the matter."
