A/N: Ei guys! Here's my latest chapter, and I had to re study Natsume Yuujincho. As in I re read the manga, I re watched the anime and I studied it at wiki. That's what you call being a fanfic author. LOL. I'd like it to be more precise and the characters as close to how they are in the anime as much as possible. Anyway, enjoy~

Disclaimer: I don't own Ntsume Yuujinchou, though I wish to own Natsume Takashi –dono~ *insert fangirl scream* and yes, I'm a girl. •‿•


The Other Realm

CHAPTER 2 : Ayakashi are Dying?

Natsume Takashi's P O V

"One who shields me, reveal thy name." I put my hand together and blew on the paper I had on my mouth.

"thank you, Natsume-dono~" the youkai went out my room through the window.

I returned another name.. and here comes that cat again…

"Oi! Natsume! You handed out another name! what else will I get once you die if the Yuujinchou is slowly running out of Ayakashi names?!"

Nyanko-sensei hissed as he entered my room

I plopped on the floor, exhausted.

"*sigh* shut up, sensei. I'm way too tired to listen to your sermon all over again."

He's always at it. Everyday, actually. Yammering about me having to stop returning the ayakashi names and about him having to kill me before the pages run out.

"*sniff sniff* oi.. Sensei! You reek of alcohol.. you've been drinking again!" I pinched my nose.

"so what if I had been?" he was rolling on the floor, annoying me.

"you stink." I told him and Nyanko-sensei ignored me.

I kept glaring at him.

"Takashi-kun! Dinner time!" Touko-san called from the kitchen. "Okay! I'm coming!" I yelled out as I stood up.

"sensei, I'm washing you after I eat." I pointed at Nyanko-sensei and he hissed as I did so.

"You don't do that to a regal youkai! I dare you to! My powers are way too immense for you to—"

I shut the door, leaving a muttering Nyanko-sensei inside.

"whatever sensei."

Dinner went well and after we ate, I helped Touko-san clean up.

"Takashi-kun, Tanuma is looking for you." Shigeru-san told me. "I'll be the one to finish whatever you're doing."

"eh? Tanuma? Did you invite him over for a sleep over, Takashi-kun?" Touko-san asked me.

"erm, i.. .. I don't.. remember?" I told them, putting aside the plates I had in my hands.

"Tanuma!" I greeted him, kind of wondering, why he's here this late at night.

"Natsume.. it's important."

We went up my room, to discuss whatever it was, surely it involves the Ayakashi. So we better dicuss it with Nyanko-sensei, who's very much updated in the youkai activities due to his 'drinking escapades'

"Natsume, I've been feeling sick, lately. It must be the ayakashi's aura around me. It seems there's something wrong with them." Tanuma told me as he sat on the floor.

"Sensei.. is there anything you can share? Do you know anything?" I looked at sensei, who was sitting across me, near Tanuma.

"hmm.. according to my sources.. (a.k.a. his fellow drunkards -_-) injured ayakashi have been appearing lately. Some even missing. And the worst cases were finding out they died. And the most probable cause is—"

"exorcism.." I concluded,

"could it be Natori-san?" Tanuma suspected.

"it couldn't be, right? He wouldn't exorcise ayakashi for no reason." I told him

"we better investigate tomorrow.." sensei decided.
