The Shrine at Night

I wake up in the middle of the night, it is dark, and I can barely see anything. I hear a noise behind my back. I hear soft moans and a weird sound. It can only come from one person, Sanae. I lay with my back turned to her, so she doesn't know I am awake. She mumbles something in her moans.

My face is completely red, and I am laying as still as possible. It sounds like she's masturbating. But why is she doing it while I am next to her? I hear her climaxing, as she climaxes, she moans my name. But it can't be. Why would she think of me while masturbating? I have so many questions but there is probably no way for me to get answers now.

I wait for about half an hour until I check if she's sleeping, which she is. I slowly and carefully get up and leave the room. The shrine is dark, and everyone is sleeping. I go to the shrine's garden and look in the sky. It's clear so the stars are clearly visible.

I see Suwako, she gestures I sit next to her on the grass. I approach her and sit. "Awake in such an hour? How so?" She asks me. "I slept early so I woke up early. Why are you awake so late?" I ask her. She takes a second to think and then responds, "Just a bit too many things on my mind." She smiles. "I see, that's why you are here. I've heard that going outside is really good if you are sad, or if you can't sleep."

Suwako changes the topic "You know Sanae really likes you, right." I blush a little "I have... noticed..." I answer while beginning to blush again. "You know, she is from your world as well. She knows how you feel." Suwako looks at me. "Really? Why hasn't she told me?" "Sanae doesn't really talk about it to anyone. I am not sure why. Here in Gensokyo, especially the further up the mountains you go, you will notice that there aren't that many men here." I think about it for a second "Now that you say that I noticed as well." "You should be as kind as possible to her, promise me that." Suwako looks deep into my eyes as she said that. "I promise Suwako! I will be as good of a friend as possible!" I tell her.

"Thank you. Now if you'd excuse me, I'll go to bed now. Good night." She gets up. "Good night Suwako!" I see her leave. I keep sitting on the grass for a few more minutes, thinking about the things she told me. I look up to the stars again and think about the past days and how lucky I am to have met the people I met.

I eventually get up and explore the shrine. I look at the mountains near this shrine and see that there is a mountain with houses and some of the lights are on. I think about if I should really go there, but there is nothing better for me to do so I walk towards it.

It took about an hour until I arrived, and I was right. The mountain is populated with big, ancient Japanese style homes. The residents all seem to be asleep. I walk until I find that a bar has still opened currently. I hesitate to enter but after a few seconds I open the door.

I enter and see two women, one is sitting on a chair, drinking what I assume is alcohol. The other one is sleeping on the table of the bar. I see that one of them has brown hair and a purple and black skirt while the other has black hair and a black and white skirt. Both wear a white blouse and have a weird hat on.

They still have not noticed me, so I think about walking out again. I stand in the bar stunned for a few seconds. I finally decide to get my act together. I walk towards the woman and sit down on a chair between the one who is still awake and the woman who is sleeping.
