"You know,your lips are darker this morning"



Keshia gazed at the source of the small gentle voice that called to her.  Keshia smiled,and stood there for a moment before walking toward the little child that just spoke to her.




"Thank you Mimi."Keshia said after seeing the owner of the small voice.






"Are there any ceremonies today?"Mimi glared at Keshia.





Keshia shook her head.





Mimi ran over to Keshia and used her hand to try to measure their heights,as she whined,"When am i going to be as tall as you Keshia?"





"Well,you need to eat healthy foods,and only time with take its course.."





Mimi glared out the window in of the small building,and gazed around. Then when the five year old spotted a young man,she mumbled happily.





"You know,that boy takes a fancy for you.."Mimi said gazing back at Keshia.




"Well if fancy is the word you decribe it,i thought it was called stalking.."Keshia laughed along with Mimi.




"No i mean he really,really likes you Keshia."




Keshia looked out the window to see the young man smiling and waving at her direction. Keshia sighed,and closed the window. When she did,the young man's smile faded and turned into a frown.





"What are you,five years old? And you affair in the business of love and matchmaking?"Keshia laughed at her own remark.






"What are you Keshia? Eighteen..? And still you dont have a lover!"Mimi argued.






Keshia got out her traditional red hamaka and her plain white kimono shirt. She quickly slipped into those as she tied her red ribbon in her hair. Her black hair looked beauiful with the traditional miko outfit. The white kimono shirt was white to indenicate pure,and the red was traditional for a hamaka,especially for a japanese shrine servant such as herself.



"Miko's do not have lovers,and quiet down. Just because we're awake doesnt mean the rest of the shrine servants are. The prestess would be mad if you woken up people early in the morning."




Keshia saw Mimi's smile fade to a frown,so she smiled to let Mimi know she didnt cause any harm. Mimi smiled again,as she danced around the room with her white ribbon in her hair following gracefully.


Mimi stopped dancing for a moment to glare at Keshia's dark lips as she spoke,"You know,darker the lips of someone means purier the life.."



Keshia sat down on the window still where a sitting place had been set,as Mimi climbed into Keshia as she embraced her.  Keshia glared out the window as she was stroking a piece of Mimi's hair.





"You have dark lips too Mimi.."
