    Once Nanami had come to terms with the situation regarding her new role in this new world she had stumbled upon, it was not too long until a particular friend of hers was soon falling into this path of events..


    And meeting a particular familiar also.


    (I shall play Tomoe and the other characters that may/may not be there already just as Mizuki! :3)

    Ayakashi.. Individuals that are not of normality. Protected or defended within their home, a new visitor was entering the building.


    Soon going to enter this new environment and perhaps meet a very loyal secret agent who may or may not develop a sense of interest...


    We shall see how things go...


    (I shall play Soushi Miketsukami and additional characters if need be such as Rerichiro)

    "Yukino?" A gentle voice said.


    And before long, the girl in question was wandering up to the shrine with a big grin on her face but when realisation hit that she was at the SHRINE.. It spooked her. H-How was she..


    "W-What are you doing here?" She chuckled, rubbing the back of her neck.


    _____________________________________________________________________


    That girl was waiting a while for Nanami it seems.. Just another school brat.. But.. Something is off. Best keep an eye on the situation.


    Nanami better not screw things up.


    A pair of icy blue eyes were checking up on the situation rather often and a particular male seated himself to continue with some of his own work... Well work Nanami was meant to be doing but alas..


    He couldn't be bothered to force her at the moment. Besides, he does a much better job.

    "Miss Rerichiro? The usual tea this morning?" The male smiled, holding a cup and saucer ready with perfect posture.


    "Yes. Thank you...."


    .........


    "Miss Rerichiro? There is going to be a new resident moving into the building. I have been told that making a good impression is important."


    "I see.. Well.. Best to see how this newcomer is like. Hmph. Probably a waste of my time."


    The male smiled as he finished serving the lady's tea with great pleasure.

    "Alright! This should be all of yer stuff! Gotta say, why're you living in such a creepy place?" The truck driver said, placing down the last box and looking up towards the particular female moving in.

    The girl smiled. "It's okay! I forgive you Yukino. Hahaha no need to worry."


    With that, the girl shrugged. "And yeah! I met this person called Mikage. Who was a good friend of someone my parents knew apparently! And.. He said I can help look after the shrine as he was going abroad!" The girl tried her best but Tomoe was cringing from within the building, hoping that she won't make a complete and utter fool of herself.

    The male paused, looking at his phone as the message was sent in. And ti didn't take long until he placed the cup down and used his dominant hand to type.


    "Yeah. Need to talk? Cause I think you do." He wrote.


    Despite the slight anger and irritant behaviour , the male also felt a slight sense of relief.. At least she was messaging now.. Instead of never replying.

    Nanami's eyes opened widely.


    "Y-You can see them?!"


    She couldn't believe it. One of her friends. Can SEE THEM.


    -


    Meanwhile, her familiar by this point was now getting cautious. She could see them so his caution was very much needed. Just what being is she? He was figuring out with every given moment.


    -


    "U-Uh.. This is-"


    "I'm Kotetsu!" ...... "And I am Onikiri!"


    "We are the Mikage Shrine Spirits!!"


    Nanami paused, wondering how her friend would react.

    -did you want me to play the ss agent for her? or...? Just asking. XD-


    By this point, the doors had slowly opened, revealing the newcomer rather instantly. And so, the individuals that were there for surprised by the sudden entry. Why weren't they told of the time she'd be arriving?


    And so, everyone paused and awaited to see who'd go first to say hi.

    "U-Uh.." Nanami said and with a slight chuckle lined with hesitation, she rubbed the back of her neck once more whilst shrugging.


    "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell! It isn't anything maaaaaaaaaajor! Haha.. Haha.. heh."


    The shrine spirits glanced up at Nanami before looking over to her friend. "Nanami is in charge of the shrine! She is actually a-"


    "Enough."


    Nanami turned around quickly with wide eyes. Of course HE had to get involved.


    "Tomo-"


    "It is quite frankly not much of your damn business unless you are intending on using what you find to an advantage."


    Nanami was mortified. What was he on about?!


    "HEY! I-"


    "May I ask what origin you and your parents are?.."


    Nanami paused.


    "What? Tomoe, what are you on about?"

    "Maybe. But I think a good conversation with an explanation might help first." The male replied.


    He noticed his brother had just gotten back and before long, the male was grabbing his coat after finishing his drink.


    "Where're you going brat?"


    "Out."


    And with that, the male slammed the door as he left. Textign as he did.


    "Local car park down the road from the school. ASAP."

    The male there glanced up from his phone, seeing the female as she was entering the park. And soon enough, he himself stood and wandered over to her direction until they were finally face to face.


    The man seemed tired.. Overworked.. And most definitely not in the best shape, but better than what he had been beforehand.


    He almost felt better to see the girl there.


    Despite the amount of grief he felt.


    "Sorry 'bout calling you out here suddenly. Couldn't be bothered to leave it till later." He stated. "Wanna come join on the bench?"

    Rerichiyo noticed her annoying nickname being used before noticing the newcomers coming her way. Why HERS out of all of them!


    "My my, it is a pleasure to meet you Ms Yamamoto." The one and only loyal servant for Lady Rerichiyo called Soushi Mikestukami. Placing his hand delicately on his chest, he bowed slightly.


    Rerichiyo noticed the girl's anxiety. "No need to throw her into the deep end you idiot.. She clearly doesn't enjoy you dragging her around."


    For someone who usually tries to act as if she doesn't care.. She was very observant.

    Tomoe narrowed his eyes, but before he could say anything, Nanami was quick to get in the way of both of them once more.


    "Don't be harsh to Tomoe! He is the one who takes care of the shrine and protects me as.... As.."


    "Nanami-"


    "My Familiar."


    _________________________________________


    The male paused, giving a heavy sigh as he soon revealed his ears and tail, his deathly cold stare laying his eyes on the female.


    "I don't see the point in conversing with this brat any longer Nanami. She is quite clearly sticking her nose in other people's business too much. Friend.. Or not." He stated...


    "However..... You seem to be well acquainted and despite how I dislike those of your sort... Do come in so we can discuss this properly." The male finished before opening the doors and allowing the females to come in.


    Nanami was surprised. "I... Guess you are now our guest! Come on in! I.... Can explain everything in here."


    The inside was gorgeous and obviously well kept.


    "You see.. I was given the role of the land god apparently. Aaaaaaaaaaand it is really boring and hard to do so.. Tomoe helped me eventually to maintain this place and make sure I don't well.."


    "Screw things up? Most likely."


    "Tomoeeee!"


    The girl cleared her throat. "Anyway.. So with that, I live in this shrine and do what I can to help."


    The fox familiar wandered back in with refreshments and perfectly made food. Clearly he puts a lot of thought into the foods and their arrangements. Not to mention their properties for keeping his master healthy.

    "Why didn't you call."


    .......


    "Why didn't you send a text."


    ............


    "I know I don't usually seem to care often but damn it, don't I seem the least bit trust-worthy to you? I worked and worked, but I tried to check. Just in case you got in some trouble and as someone who gets along with you, help you out.


    It was easily able to be sorted.. And helped. But you didn't do a god-damn thing to lettme know."


    He paused as he looked at his own hands this time before looking up at the sky.


    "It was f*cking interring."

    "Shameful. Huh." The male said. "And you think I am gonna think anything different about it after you tell me?"


    The male hunched slightly.


    "Sure, it's hard. Sure, it's painful. YES it is the worst thing in the world."


    "BUT I F*CKING WATCHED YOU START TO DIE ALRIGHT?!"


    ...............


    "I had to use CPR. I had to watch test after f*cking TEST. I had to deal with the information and watch as they struggled to bring you BACK."


    "And I didn't blame you in that one moment. NOT ON MOMENT."


    "I blamed MYSELF. And I STILL DO EVA."


    The male stood, hiding his face by having his back to her.


    "If I f*cking new SOONER. I'd have been able to do MORE. BUT NO. I wasn't given that and now I AM the one ashamed."


    The male shoved his hands into his pocket.


    "I still don't blame you. I just.. I just knew I could do more if you only just.... Let go of those chains and told me. In any way, shape or form."


    After a moment had passed. Along with several more..


    He placed his hand on his face.


    "Sh*t." He seated himself once more.


    "Forget it. Forget what I said... I didn't get you to come here so I can yell. Just to know what you had to say."
