"You might fade away... If you let that happen..."

Amaterasu chose Emika to be her self portrait on the world when she was just a little girl. She was most pure, innocent and sweetest girl in Japan. She knew that she had to stay that way, so Amaterasu would be happy about her and let her be earthly goddess image for Amaterasu. 
    Emika grew more beautiful every day and everyone noticed that, but still she stayed loyal for her beloved goddess and didn't let herself get into any kind of troubles. She was training to get her status from maiko to be a true geisha. That was going to be a big step for her in her path to be Amaterasu's image.
    Amaterasu was really happy when she saw Emika turn 17 and that she was still pure and innocent young woman. Emika was successful in every subject in school, she made really good progress training to be a geisha, so Amaterasu decided it was time for her to be tested. She sent her away from a familiar environment and told her to survive. 
    Emika was really exited of that and promised that she will pass it, but then came that one day. She found really beautiful and serene house on the road she had walked daily. It was like a dream that had just appeared from nowhere.  So she went right in it and saw this handsome man who was wearing dark black suit and he had really dark eyes.
    - Do you wanna step to the other side? he asked.
Emika was confused what he meant by other side, but still she was curious. Emika nodded her head and man started to lead her through a long, long hallway. It got darker the further they went.
    - Where are you taking me? It's dark in here, she asked and started to get worried. 
    - Not much further, he said quietly. - Just a bit.
Emika decided not to ask anymore and follow him, even though she knew it wasn't most wisely done. But her curiosity won and she started to feel even more exited than before. 
    They got at the end of the hallway and Emika gasped from with delight when the man opened the door. The room was really large and it was so bright that she had to squints her eyes. When Emika got used to it, she saw all the beautiful women and every handsome man that were there. She couldn't believe her eyes. Emika went right inside and started to admire pretty much everything and then she noticed one thing. One thing that separated her from the other women. 
    - Wanna be like us? Wanna look like us? one of the women asked. - Then you can be with us.
Emika fell in love with the woman's appearance and nodded her really eagerly. Right after that she started to feel really tired, really exhausted. She fell asleep.
    Suddenly she just woke and felt herself more spirited than ever before. And heavier. HEAVIER?! Then she noticed that she had gotten bigger breasts and that she had corset on. Emika felt strangely happy about it and started to dance. She didn't realize that they had given her drugs that made her like that. And even when the man told her, she just giggled and said she wanted to experience everything. And she meant everything. 
    She got all she wanted, and then she felt strange pain at her skin, but didn't let it bother her. She took even more drugs, danced and drunk alcohol without hesitation. She had sex with everyone she wanted and she had lost her purity. 
    The pain at her skin started to be a lot stronger, so strong that no drug relieved her pain. Then Amaterasu showed herself to Emika. Her face seemed sad, aching and at the same time she was really angry. Emika didn't understand what was going on at first, but then she saw pieces flying around her. Same colored as her face. 
    - I have to fade you away, 'cause you've made terrible choice. You didn't respect your body, you didn't love yourself. You gave others to decide who you are, how you must look. You gave them opportunity to shape you. I'm sorry, I didn't want you to go through this, but I have to let you go, Amaterasu spoke Emika calmly and full of love in her voice, even though she was angry.
