A young boy walked down the steps from his shrine. His white and blue onmyoji kimono was too dazzling, but it was just perfect for his pale skin and light blue hair. He looked up towards his shrine, which was now very far away and continued his walk. Some people who walked by bowed and smiled at him. The pale boy smiled back and continued his walk towards a certain house. The house was pretty shambled, but still stable. As he walked in, children jumped out at him.
"Kuroko-dono!" They screamed and smiled as they grabbed his kimono.
Kuroko, the pale skinned, blue-haired boy smiled at the two young children who clinged onto him. He walked with them inside and sat down. The family was very poor, but still able to survive thanks to Kuroko's help. The parents of the two children offered Kuroko some tea and sat down across from him.
"I heard that you had business with me about some spirits in the forest. May you explain it to me?" Kuroko's politeness, even towards the poor people in the village, quickened their hearts a bit.
"Y-yes, Kuroko-dono," the father began, "I was chopping some firewood, when all of a sudden I was attacked by something. I couldn't see it, but it was surely angry with me, I think."
"When he returned home," the wife began, "he was covered in dirt and mud. He only brought back a few twigs with him."
Kuroko looked at the side of the door. It was true. There was a small pile of twigs lying next to the door. It was pretty sad looking for their state, but Kuroko stood up and smiled at them.
"Don't worry. You can come to my shrine and take some firewood. I will go see what has angered the spirits. Thank you for your hospitality, I will be leaving now."
The two young children didn't want Kuroko to leave and they clung onto him. Kuroko smiled and patted their head and told them that he would be back to play with them. As he left the shambled house, he walked towards the forest. Their home was not too far from it. Kuroko started walking upwards, climbing a small hill and then continuing upwards. He heard small voices and wondered if it was the small forest spirits. They were not capable of harming anyone or anything. If the people decided they needed firewood, so be it. The small forest spirits would allow them to take a few, but never attack the humans. Kuroko continued to walk until he stopped where the husband's axe was still piercing the tree.
"It's a spirit caster." Kuroko heard the small forest spirits whisper among each other and it became a loud murmur in the entire forest.
"Spirit caster, spirit caster." Kuroko looked down for he felt a small tug on his leg, it was a forest spirit, "Yes? How may I be of aide to you?"
The transparent forest spirit walked into Kuroko's hands and whispered into his ear that there were spirit gods out in their forest, claiming what is theirs and not allowing any human to walk through. Kuroko wondered about that, because he was able to enter the forest. The spirit forest was placed next to Kuroko's left shoulder and he walked until the small spirit pointed at where the spirit gods were fighting.
"Thank you. Here, I hope this will be of help to you." Kuroko placed the forest spirit on the ground again and gave it some tree seeds. It was just what they needed to replant the trees from the humans taking their precious trees. The spirit bowed and ran off with the other spirits who followed them closely.
Kuroko continued to walk and heard the loud noise of banging and fighting. He started to walk downwards and walked in between the trees, hoping it would help him balance. He watched from above, 3 spirit gods were fighting whoever had the right to claim the land. A white tiger god, the other was a nine-tailed fox and also a tengu. Kuroko was dazzled by the 3. They were very beautiful, but they were destroying the trees around and created havoc. Just when the 3 gods were about to grow tired, Kuroko's foot slipped and he fell in. The 3 gods looked at him and Kuroko at them.
"Err..." Kuroko started to stammer. The 3 gods continued to stare at Kuroko.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?! ( ಠ ಠ )
