when i was. || tomoe x f!reader ?

? I remember

The strange man had begun to climb down from the tree, slowly inching closer to me.

His blond hair was almost shoulder length, he had those kind, brown eyes which stood similar to my sister's. I immediately felt at ease.

"Thanks for saving me! I thought I'd come back after all those years, when I got here a dog started chasing me!"

"Ah, I see." I answered politely, fiddling with my fingernails and picking at the skin on my lips.

My conversational skills had failed on me, only making this more uncomfortable for myself.
Ofcourse I had wanted to engage in some small talk, but what else do I say?

"It seems you're a bit timid.. "
I gave him a hesitant nod as he opened his mouth to speak again.

"Do you live nearby, my dear?"

"Well, no, yes. I mean, I used to. Ah, i really shouldn't be telling you all this, laying all of my problems on to you is very shameful. Let's just say that I didn't meet the age requirements for my orphanage, meaning I was too old," I now turned my gaze to the floor, my face heating up with a wave of mortification,

"so, they kicked you out? I see," the look on his face was pitiful, I shouldn't have said anything.
"I'm in a similar situation, I ran away from my home centuries ago. Wonder how everyone is doing now. I'm sure Tomoe would strangle me to death if I stepped foot in there again," the last sentence he muttered was quieter than the rest of his words, which was making me feel remorseful for his situation.

I listened carefully and nodded along, as he rambled on and on.
I wonder if Tomoe is his wife? If that's the case, I would completely understand her anger.

There was a minute of silence between us. "Hey, so I've come to some sort of a conclusion, I figured that I could give you my home! Permanently, knowing I'm not exactly welcome in there anymore anyway.."

"What? Are you serious?" As those words followed, I found myself gradually accepting.
I was hesitant, but if that was really the right thing to do. I should take up on his offer.

The man in a trenchcoat, who was previously screaming for help because of a small brown dog, told me his name was Mikage.
He had handed me a weird looking map to the place I was supposed to be. As I set my nerves ablaze, ready to head out and about to my destination, he pressed a kiss on my forehead. I was quite unsure of what to feel or do about that situation, taking note that we literally just met, I was left feeling uncomfortable.

My suspicion had arisen, and it wasn't making me better at all.

I wondered and wondered, until It clicked. I had subconsciously taken notice of his spiritual energy while I was talking to him,* but I never actually stopped to think about it. Could it be that he a deity of some sort?

Maybe my brain was just playing tricks with me. There's no way, even if he was a deity, I don't believe that he would've just simply given away his precious god role.

I was slowly nearing my given location, feeling as if my legs were on the verge of giving out and deflating beneath me. There was a faint spiritual energy that I could sense, was that another yokai?

This is a shrine, I knew it! So he WAS a land god. Tomoe was probably not his wife, but his familiar. False alarm! Now, why would anyone ever abandon such a.. Lively shrine? That's just cruel!

Hold on, didn't he kiss me on the forehead? Was his intention to mark me as the next landgod all along? I read once that landgods  have the ability to hand their landgod marks to others, even humans, which I was half of.
