"Onii-chan!" the little girl called out while her eyes were roaming to every possible corner of the room. She didn't find him here either, but it was also too early to give up. She kept looking of his frame from room to another room. This main house sure was too big to play hide and seek.
"What is it, Yura?" the older brother said from the yard.
The little Keikain girl turned her gaze to her brother right away. Oh there he was. "Grandfather is looking for you. He wants you to come to the main hall quickly," the girl replied.
"What? I couldn't hear you?"
"Grandfather is looking for you," Yura repeated while walking toward him.
"Can't you get closer? I couldn't hear you!" the older brother said again.
Then she fastened her steps through the corridor, almost running, "I said, Grandfather is-Eh?" suddenly the floor became so slippery and when she realized, it was already too late to stop her pace. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the little girl slipped off her step which caused her to fall on the yard then rolling over forward and finally stopped as she crashed on to the wall.
The older brother was smirking in amusement at her. "Well, that was quite a spectacular "roll on" you performed there. What are you doing Yura? Practicing for P.E. exam already?" he teased.
"Onii-chan!" the little brown haired little girl yelled out aloud. "Why you didn't tell me if the floor is so slippery. How could you let your little sister fell like this!" she asked brutally in rage.
"I was about to warn you if that floor has just been mopped, but I see that I was too late," he said in calm tone with both hands folded across his chest.
"Then why did you tell me to walk faster!"
"I told you to get closer, not to walk faster," the black haired young man said, playing with his words.
"You're just doing this intentionally, right!" she screamed out with weeping eyes. Oh Kami-sama, why do I have to get some annoying brother like him?
"Besides, what is it that you wanted to tell me?"
"Oh!" her eyes blinked like a lamp that had just been switched on. "Grandfather is looking for you. He told you to come to the main hall now".
"Heee... Keikain Hidemoto did...?" the young man murmured.

It was a very bright Thursday and the sun was also shining so restlessly today, but it didn't quite decreased the number of Tokyo's people on the street at all. The streets were still packed by people passing by, especially in such hour. However, thanks to that, he could blend in so easily.
Still, his mind keep tracing back to the day before, when he was told about this mission.
Back then...
"A request?" the black young man repeated what he had just heard.
"Yes," the 27th Keikain Hidemoto approved it. "It is from the Daidouji family. Daidouji is a family branch of an old clan in Kyoto. Although they are just a family branch, they are quite successful and well known. However, lately their only child claimed that she has been witnessing youkai presence within their house".
His brow tweaked at the old man last sentence.
"She said that recently she's being followed by some unknown youkai," Hidemoto said.
"Being followed?" his curiousity was intrigued by that word.
"It's started at one night when Daidouji family suddenly found their only child fell fainted at the yard. After that night, she said she saw some sightings of youkai presence reside within the house, usually faint or just mere shadow. The parents don't encounter any youkai sightings at all, but they began to worry more after their only child was found fainted again. And so they request for our help," the old man paused for a moment and continued," they want us to protect her."
"... So who is this girl?" he asked, straight to the main point here.
Back to the present time. The young Keikain now was standing a few meters from the school gate with his back leaning against the wall, eyeing every each of the students who passed by. He tried not to look very suspicious since he was wearing different uniform. However, he was already getting irritated a bit because the one he was looking for hasn't showed up at all.
"Tomoyo-chan, wait for me!" a short brown haired girl called out a name which brought his attention. The brown haired girl was wearing a pair of roller blades and she easily crossed the street to approach her friend. "Haaaahhhh! I thought I'm already late!" the girl gave a big sigh.
She giggled at her chilhood friend sweet expresion, "but Sakura-chan, we should go to the class now. It's only 5 minutes left before the class started".
"HEEEE!" the browned haired girl shocked at the fact. "T-TTThen we should get hurry!"
The young man stood up onto his feet then walked toward them who were on the opposite end of him. Next to that roller blade girl, he saw a girl with long black hair which ends in wavy tips. That girl is Daidouji Tomoyo, the girl that he must protect.
"I want you to make sure that she is safe from any kind of harm and investigate this matter throughfully," that was what Keikain Hidemoto said to him.
He quickly averted his gaze away and bent a little, so they couldn't see his face as the girls walked passed him toward the gate. After he was sure that they already walked in to the school, his eyes were trailing back to her figure. Watching at her frame body reminded him of what his grandfather had said yesterday.
"I understand fully the situation, but should it be me? I don't mean to oppose but judging by the details I think our family branch is already enough to handle this request," the young Keikain said, without any mean to disrespect the current head.
"Our clan has been in good relationship with Daidouji family since long ago. I choose you for this request as a respect of our Keikain clan. Also... Ryuuji..." the 27th Hidemoto spoke his name which drawn the young man attention.
"Tomoyo is your fiancee," the old man stated.
"What?" his grey eyes widen in shock at the fact that he had just heard.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Yura, who had been sitting next to her brother quietly, finally spoke, but way too loud. "ONIII-CHAN HAS A FIANCEEE!" she yelled very loud, repeating the shocking news.
"Shut up!" the older brother quickly bent Yura's head abruptly, telling her to keep it down. "What the heck does is this all about?" he asked in disbelief.
"It has been decided since both of you are still children. It is your parents wish," the current head of Keikain clan replied.
"Does that mean that I'm engaged to someone too?" Yura asked to make sure of her future.
"No, it only applies to Ryuuji," the 27th Hidemoto replied which only made the young man fell more silent. "Ah, one more thing," he said, "the girl, Tomoyo, hasn't know anything yet about this engagement".
His eyes still set on the long black haired girl's figure. Oy oy... don't joke around with me. I much prefer to be in a situation where somehow I end up in a island full of youkai than this. How am I supposed to accept the fact that the one I must protect is turned out to be my fiancée that I barely even know? I wished that I never know about this fact from the very first.
"Tch..." he murmured.
Perhaps... this would be the most awkward mission that Keikain Ryuuji ever had.
