One day, she finds herself, Haruka, and five others she knows soul bound to five ancient warriors and a lord. What is a young girl like her suppose to do?

"Hey, Haruka, help me wake up Saizou please," I asked cutely to my assistant to exorcisms and writings who happen to be the Onikui Tengu. Haruka sighed and pulled the futon from under Saizou. Saizou spun in the air and landed on his back with a grunt.

"Hey, hey, hey Saizou, Saizou, wake up," I shouted in a childish voice. Saizou glared at me with tiredness in his eyes.

"How did you do that is beyond me," Saizou, a black haired, dark eyed young Iga Shinobi rubbed his head to get rid of the pain.

"And I keep telling you it's my assistant, Haruka," I giggled.

"Go play today," Saizou commanded as I puffed my cheeks. I nodded and left his room. I ran down the hall and saw Izanami walking.

"Hey, Izanami-san," I asked going up to her. She blinked and looked down and gave a big smile.

"Oh, Ichinomiya-chan, what is it," The bluish-white haired priestess bent down to my size. I gave a big blush and acted shy.

"Will you play with me," I asked cutely. She shook her head no and went on her way. I walked around and saw Rokurou and my eyes darkened; I knew he didn't want to play. So I went to my room, got a pen out and started on a manuscript that I wanted to work on. I looked ten, but I knew I was older than that, but I don't know how old, (and I'm still growing) and I know I'm old enough for a job as Haruka told me. I love hearing about Great-Grandfather Kantarou. I got a lot of stories from different creatures, but mostly from Haruka.

I heard my door open. "Oh, Ichinomiya-chan," a voice spoke slowly. I knew that voice. I put my pen down so my manuscript wouldn't get ruined. As soon as I put my pen down, a pair of arms grabbed me from behind with a loud 'Kyaaa' and put me in a vice grip. I was shaken around a bit and put down. I turned to see my assailant, though I already knew all too well. A fellow student of a high school I go to, Kyoko Kageyama-san, a pedophile lesbian I would call her.

"Kageyama-san; is something wrong," I asked wanting to go back to my manuscript. Kyoko gave a dark chuckle which frightened me.

"Anastasia-sama said for me to relax and what better way to relax and be with you," Kyoko spoke happily. Dear Kami-sama no, I don't want her I just want to work on my manuscript. I panicked.

"Kageyama-san, I just want to work on something," I spoke clearly and with a big shy blush. She gave a 'Kyaaa' and hugged me hard. She let me go before I was killed.

"So, what do you want to work on, maybe I can help," She offered. I gave a sweatdrop and smiled.

"I'm working on a manuscript, might as well work on it. Saizou doesn't want me to get into his training," I explain slowly. Kyoko smiled happily and nodded.

"So, what kind of story are you working on," Kyoko lowered her head to meet my eyes.

"Folklore," I simply stated. Kyoko blinked and smiled.

"I didn't know you were into that old stuff," She laughed.

"It's basically about spirits, exorcisms, and Oni*******. Mainly, recent exorcisms that I do," I explained. Kyoko clapped happily and gave a 'Yay'.

"I didn't know you did exorcisms," Kyoko stated.

"It's very dangerous, and I have an assistant with me. His name is Haruka," I sighed at the memory of my first exorcism. Kyoko puffed her cheeks in anger.

"Well, what does this Haruka have that I don't," Kyoko interrogated about Haruka.

I decided to be blunt, "He is able to see spirits; that and he is one himself. He's the strongest of the strong of the spirits. He's also known as Onikui Tengu." Kyoko blinked.

"He's a Tengu? Wow, I didn't know that," She commented.

"There are two types of Tengu: Black Tengu that is born a Tengu, Haruka is a Black Tengu for an example. Then, there is the White Tengu who is originally human, but died somehow, Sugino-sama, a mountain god, is a White Tengu for an example," I explained from remembering old research papers left by Great-Grandpa Kantarou. Kyoko looked at me.

"So I won't be able to help? Oh well, at least let me watch," She grinned maliciously. I sighed and nodded. I picked up my pen and continued my work.
