Chapter 1- Temporary Home
...
" Hey, you! Wanna fight me?"
"If I win, you'll be my servant."
"If you win, you can eat me."
"Why?….why else?"
"To kill time."…
"I've found you! I've found you! I've found you!" a figure hiding the darkness said in a desperate yet haunting voice.
…...
Sleeping on the forest floor was a familiar maneki- neko with orange and gray markings on the top of his head and back, a red collar with a gold bell on his neck and has small red markings on his face.
POP!
The cat woke up startled and looked in all directions for anything but saw nothing.
"Was I dreaming?" the cat thought in confusion. "I thought I felt a youkai's stare for a minute there." he yawned but was smacked on the head by a fruit falling from the tree.
"oomph." the cat started to clutch his head in pain.
"Sorry, Nyanko-sensei! It slipped from my hand. " a boy with pale blond hair and orange-yellow eyes said while climbing down from the same fruit tree.
"Look at all the wild oranges I picked." Natsume said showing off the oranges.
"You better watch it, fool! Fruit makes an excellent blunt weapon! Ever read "The Crab and the Monkey's Quarrel?!" Nyanko-sensei yelled with an angry tick mark holding the orange that hit him.
Natsume chuckled and apologized but suddenly a small howl from the gentle breeze was heard causing Natsume to be on alert.
"Hmm… What's wrong, Natsume?" Nyanko-sensei asked.
"I suddenly felt like we're being watched." Natsume replied looking to the direction with a lot of trees, he saw a small twinkle light from one of the trees.
Fwoooooooosh! Bam!
Out of nowhere an axe comes flying straight to them and embedded into the bark of the fruit tree. Startled Natsume and Nyanko-sensei looked to see what it was.
"An axe!" they both jumped in fright causing the oranges to fly out of his hands.
"Wh-What is this? Did it fly out of some woodsman's hand?" Nyanko-sensei gaped at the axe stuck on the tree bark, whiling holding onto Natsume's shoulder.
"No… I saw something throw it from over there. It was a youkai." Natsume answered backing away from the tree.
"What." Nyanko-sensei looked doubtful.
"It was aiming for us." Natsume and Nyanko-sensei looked at each other before screaming in fright moving away from the area.
The next day in the afternoon the school bells rang and it was time for the students to go home.
"Natsume, let's go home." his friends said offering to walk with him.
"Yeah." Natsume replied back with a smile.
Walking down the road with his friends Natsume's mind wandered off to what happened recently with the axe. Who could of thrown it. If it was a youkai was it after the Yuujincho. He wondered but was pulled out of his thoughts by a familiar voice.
"Takashi." Natsume looked to see his guardian Fujiwara Shigeru.
"On your way home?" Mr. Fujiwara asked.
"Yes." Natsume answered and turn to his friends " Sorry, see you tomorrow." he said walking up to Mr. Fujiwara as they head home.
"I thought it might be nice to walk home with you for once. Was I interrupting?" Mr. Fujiwara asked a little worried.
"No…not at all." Natsume answered.
"I see… by the way those oranges you picked yesterday were wonderful." Mr. Fujiwara said with a soft smile as Natsume thanked him but paused when he saw brown footprints on the floor.
"What are these from? A youkai?" Natsume thought and examined the footprint.
"It has one too many toes." looking up he saw a whole trail of the footprints that led straight to his house.
" Graffiti, huh?" Mr. Fujiwara thought sighing "Bet it was one of the neighborhood kids." which caused Natsume to think, he could see the graffiti but what about the footprints.
"Hmm I've seen this drawing before." Mr. Fujiwara said before going into the house.
The sun was beginning to set and in the house of the Fujiwara's was quiet. Natsume sat on the floor where his desk was with the Yuujincho. Natsume began to worry on the footprints and of the graffiti drawing in front of his house knowing that a youkai is the one responsible.
The window slides open "I'm home!" Nyanko-sensei announces his return as he hopped down from the window into Natsume's room.
"Nyanko-sensei, you just got back? Did you see the weird graffiti in front of the house?" Natsume asked getting the cat's attention.
"What are you taking about?" Nyanko-sensei asked confused.
Going outside Natsume wanted to show Nyanko-sensei the mark but when they reached to the front it was gone.
"It's gone." Natsume looked at the ground surprised that the mark had vanished so quickly.
"Most of the things youkai draw are meaningless, but sometimes they'll leave a marking." Nyanko-sensei said looking around for any clues.
"A marking?" Natsume said questioningly.
"To let others know something like, 'I'm here!' " Nyanko-sensei explained.
Natsume wondered about that but a startled cry from the house cause him to worry.
"Touko-san!" Natsume ran to the direction of the cry followed by Nyanko-sensei.
"What's wrong?" he asked her.
"I apologize for shouting." Mrs. Fujiwara wife to Mr. Fujiwara said taking small breathes.
"You don't have to….." Natsume started to say but was cut off by Mrs. Fujiwara.
"Did a wild dog get in here or something?" she asked seeing her garden in a mess. The plants were either squashed or ripped apart with left over tracks.
"This is terrible. It's a mess." Natsume examined the garden and looked to Nyanko-sensei. He grabbed the cat by the neck "Was it you, Sensei? Those are very Nyanko- like prints." he said.
"Blockhead! I'm always careful to avoid the vegetables!" said the ticked off cat. Natsume looked at the garden again seeing that his tracks were there but barley even touching the plants. He then saw a familiar footprint next to them.
Letting go of Nyanko-sensei " Whoever threw the axe might've followed you. Youkai who try to revel traces of their presence to humans are very strong. I'll be annoying if these little pranks started escalating." the cat explained.
"Damn you, youkai. If you want something, just come to me." Natsume cursed.
That night Natsume lay sleeping on the futon with Nyanko- sensei right next to him.
I've found you. I've found you. I've found you. I've found you. I've found you.
From the voice Natsume opened his eyes to see a dark figure with big pure place eyes looking straight at him. Startled Natsume scream in fright and gets up from his futon, the dark figure runs out of his room. Natsume quickly got up and tried to follow where it is. The house was dark and worried for his guardians who are still sleeping he quickly ran down stairs but he suddenly found Shigeru who was still awake.
"Were you the one running around up on the second floor?" Mr. Fujiwara asked.
"U-um, no, well…" Natsume stuttered a bit trying to come up with an excuse.
"No, wait, the footsteps were lighter." Mr. Fujiwara said and looked down to Nyanko. "Ah, I see. Was it Nyangoro?"
"Y-yes. I'm sorry Nyanko-sensei made so much noise." Natsume quickly agreed causing Nyanko to be annoyed and a bit upset. He hopped on Natsume's holder in small attempts to claw him, but he was too fat to hang on and kept sliding off every time he tried to jump on him.
"The other time, it might've been a cat that wandered in, too." Mr. Fujiwara said.
"The other time?" Natsume asked.
"A long time ago, something similar happened here. It got so bad I thought the house was being haunted. It eventually stopped, though." Mr. Fujiwara said.
"It did?" Natsume wondered in a thinking pose.
"Well yes. Right after she came. Back then, a beautiful, if slightly odd, girl lived in this neighborhood. If I recall correctly, it was just after she visited this house that it stopped." Natsume eyes widened in realization on who this girl might be.
"It happened so long ago, I was still young enough to believe in ghosts." Mr. Fujiwara told him as Natsume now had a lot to think about. Returning to his room after saying good night he started to think about this mystery girl that Shigeru spoke of was it Reiko he was talking about.
It was morning and the sun was just at the horizon.
Natsume went to Shigeru's office in order to know more about the girl he mentioned before. Natsume was sure it could have been his grandmother but he wanted to more about her. Shigeru/ Mr. Fujiwara explained that it happened when he was a child strange things happened at his house. He met a beautiful girl that would hang out with him for some time. He invited her to his house, when he went to get refreshments, she wander around the house and went upstairs. When he returned with the refreshments he was upset that she didn't wait for him and was going to tell her not to wander around when a flash of blue light came from in one of the rooms and the sliding doors exploded. Since then the hauntings have stopped and he never really get to see her much often.
"She truly was an odd girl. But I think she was kind at heart." Mr. Fujiwara finished his story.
In his room Natsume laid down on his futon thinking about Mr. Fujiwara's story of the mysterious girl.
"So Reiko-san got rid of the youkai for Shigeru-san…" Natsume thought.
"She was very capricious girl, that Reiko was. First she helps Shigeru, and then avoids him." Nyanko said.
"Sometimes, even when you want to care for someone, you can't." Natsume said softly.
"Humph. Being human sounds like such a bother. Especially for you two." Nyanko said with a huff.
Looking to Nyanko, Natsume gently started to pet the cat's head "What are you doing?" Nyanko asked but didn't mind the nice petting and tried to get comfortable. But it was soon interrupted when they heard footsteps from the hallway. Natsume saw the dark figure again "It's him!"
"Is he getting bigger?" he asked surprised by the size of this youkai.
"If the youkai Reiko exorcised has come back then bad things are going to keep happening. Touko will get sick and Shigeru will get hurt." Nyanko explained and wasting no time Natsume ran out of his room and followed the youkai.
"Natsume, don't follow it! Chase it off instead" Nyanko came running but screeched in shock to see Natsume was almost swallowed by the youkai. "It's eating him!"
Natsume tried to pried the mouth open in order to break free but the youkai was to was almost about to pass out until he started to see something.
…...
"Now, get out." a females voice said.
Papers were scattered on the floor with a circle drawn on it. A girl that resembled a lot like Natsume was in the middle of the circle with a brush in between her mouth. Her hands clapped together as if she was doing a prayer.
"I won't let you destroy this place. This is where the boy I like lives." she declared.
…...
"Natsume!"
With that Natsume opened his eyes and Nyanko was able to grab him away from the youkai's mouth. Rushing away he drags him off and shoves Natsume in his room and immediately closes the door.
"That's Karime. He brings misfortune to the inhabitants of a house he likes, driving them away so he can take over. Reiko chased him off, but he happened to see you and mistook you for her, and now he's come for revenge. That scoundrel. He absorbed your power to make himself grow. We better get him out of here, or we'll have trouble." Nyanko said.
Regaining energy Natsume was painting for air "Sensei…I saw his memories for a second. I saw what Reiko-san did. It's my turn to protect this house." Natsume vowed.
"If you screw up, you'll be eaten." Nyanko warned.
"I'll get it done."
Downstairs Shigeru walked to the kitchen to see his wife siting at the table holding her head. "What's wrong?"
"Shigeru-san? Oh, I'm sorry. I have a bit of a headache." she answered clutching her head while Shigeru looks at her in worry.
Upstair the floors creaked as a black shadow like figure walked aimlessly through the hall.
"I want this house. Where is she? Where is that women? The one who chased me out. Here she is. In this room. " the youkai said opening the sliding door and into the room.
Papers were scattered everywhere with a circle drawn around it and kanji symbols in the center with Natsume and Nyanko in the circle. Natsume holding the brush in between his mouth and with his hands clapped together he waited for the youkai to come near.
"Reiko-san passed away. I won't give you this house. And I won't let you hurt the people who live here! Get out!" Natsume declared to the youkai looming over him. With one step on the paper seal blue light started to come.
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! the youkai screeched in fright. As the light grew brighter dragging the youkai into the circle.
"I'm falling! I'm falling! I'm falling!" The youkai screamed.
"Get down, Natsume!" Nyanko tackled Natsume down on the floor.
BAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM!
The intense power blasted the sliding doors and shattered the glass windows. The room was in a complete mess that would need to be repaired completely. All that remains was the furniture, Natsume, and Nyanko in the room. The youkai was no more.
Getting up Natsume looked at the damage to his room and if there were any signs of the youkai. "Did I do it?"
"I was able to protect the house, including Touko-san and Shigeru-san." he thought in relief.
I'd sure love to live in a place like this. Reiko voice echoes in his mind.
"What a mess." Nyanko said getting Natsume's attention and he saw how bad his room really looked now.
"Oh no…I'll have to fix all of the windows and walls. I hope I have enough allowance." Natsume said gathering items that were still in good condition and leaning them against the wall.
"She just ran away after doing this? That Reiko- san was such a ne'er-do-well." Nyanko pointed out.
"No, she called this the house of the boy she likes."
"Takashi?" Shigeru called. "What's wrong? I heard a loud noise. Good lord… what happened here?" Mr. Fujiwara asked shock to see the mess in the room.
"N-Nothing!" Natsume said trying to come up with another excuse.
"It looks just like it did back-" Mr. Fujiwara was cut off by Natsume " I….I just got carried away! I'm sorry. I'll pay for it. I'm sorry." Natsume said with his head down not wanting to look at him ''So I'm going to lie to them? Did Reiko-san stop coming to see them because she didn't want to do that? Is that why she went back to being alone?" Natsume wondered into his thoughts.
In the moment of silence Shigeru walked into the room "Takashi, don't worry about the money." Natsume look up at Shigeru "I told you before, this is your house." Mr. Fujiwara reminded giving Natsume a soft pat on the head.
Can I ever repay them? How can I repay them for the happiness they've given me? These people I care about so much.
...
With his room fixed Natsume looked at his grandmother's old belongings once more and saw another book that she kept that seemed really old. The book wasn't too thick and that the cover was a little bit torn, but the pages were still in tact.
Flipping threw the book he discovered that these were pages of spells like summoning spells, attack spells and sealing spells.
"History of the Natsume Clan?" Natsume read the chapter title and was shocked.
He looked threw to see a list of names
Aya Natsume
Iyo Natsume
Sohaku Kago (was crossed out)
Shin Natsume
Maya Natsume
Aya Natsume
Ryo Natsume
Reiko Natsume
Shinta Natsume
Natsume looked at the list of names and when he say Reiko's name it became clear to him that he was part of a clan and had family.
He looked through a few pages 'The Natsume family is one of the Red Feathers (are a group of 6 families within the 12 founding families) who are able to use their own "Unique Dragon's Gate" giving them unique spiritual powers. They are guardians of the ceremonial blade Reiki. The unique power that is passed down through their family is the Dragon's Eye.
Dragon's Gates are the so-called ''7Dragons'' that live within everyone and govern the powers of wood, fire, metal, water, and air. Through the studies of martial arts, or other meditation, or thought, or emotion a person could awaken their gate.
Dragon's Eye (Ryuugan) allows the user to synchronize with the spirits of all things, thus it gives them a type of prescience that allows them to see anywhere past, present, possible futures, as well as seeing and hearing the dead. It can also be used to astral project and to use psychometric. Known for its capacity to consume KI indefinitely, so sustaining it too long can cause the user to lose consciousness.
Once Natsume read that he finally understood why he could see youkai it was because he was trying to activate his Ryuugan.
…...
