[ Hakkai holds out his hand so casually, and Gojyo takes it without hesitation. It's just so they can teleport, he knows. No need to make a big thing about it. ]
Let's do it.
[ The gardening store Hakkai was thinking of is the right one -- it's big, big enough to carry small trees and pallets of brick and stone, and not just the little houseplants and bug traps that some of the other shops in the area offer. Big enough to have its own parking lot. Around the side of the building, where the parking lot wraps around, is one of those heavy plastic gardening sheds, just big enough for a person to stand inside, and it's this shed that Gojyo had turned into a shrine.
To his amazement, it's still intact. There's the bell that he stole from Kali's shrine, the carefully painted TORIMOTO down the inside of the doors, a scrap of curtain across the back. There's even water -- the shrine is pushed up against the wall where a spigot juts out, and there's a hole cut in the plastic back of the box to let it poke through, over a (thankfully empty) basin. The donation box is missing, of course, but that's to be expected. The body of the shrine is still here, and maybe that's enough. ]
