A_Carol: Hey, thanks to the reviewers for the first chapter. Actually, I made this because I found a picture where Tsurara dressed up in a miko's clothes. Somehow it turned out to story like THIS. Rikuo and Tsurara might be a little OOC in this story.
Tsurara tried to get up, but it seems that she has wounded her right leg. When she stood up, her right leg cried in pain, she screamed and lost her balance. She will probably fell off again if that man wasn't there to keep her from falling.
That man, or that youkai, a person with the strange head―or hair? (that makes things much more strange)―and kimono. The one that seemed to fell off from a pretty high height but not suffered any fatal injuries, only tatters kimono and cut wounds. The trees branches even broken up, but he just suffered minor injuries!
"That was careless, you know," that man said, he chuckled. Tsurara felt her face burned more red, like a red tomato. She took her hands away from that man, felt a little embarrassed because being touched by a man he doesn't even know. But, again, her right leg felt numb, she fell to her knees. That man looked surprised.
"Whoa, there. Did you hurt your own leg?" asked that man. Tsurara's face burned even more red, if that could happened (I mean, what's more red than red tomato?). That man smiled a little. Tsurara didn't know when, but the next time she know, that man was already carrying her on his hands, bridal style. Tsurara gasped.
"Wha―Put me down!" she yelled, struggled on the man hands.
"Hey, calm down. I am just going to take you back to your home," said the man. "You can't walk with your leg hurt like that, you know." Tsurara stopped struggling. That man was right, she still can felt the pain at her right leg, she could even barely stood before. But still, she doesn't know this man well, she couldn't trust him yet. While she was thinking about it, the voices of people could be heard.
"Oh crap! The people are coming here!" said Tsurara. Maybe they came because she screamed before? If so, than that would be so embarrassing for her. She felt like she just want to disappear. Beside, she has a man who possibly is a youkai with her right now! How people will react if they see this? But that man didn't looked worried at all. He was squeezing her more tight to his chest.
"Hang on," he said. Before Tsurara could even respond, that man jumped off and whistled. Something like a big and pretty long white snake appeared out of nowhere, flew on the sky. That man landed on that strange creature (you all would've already know what is it, no?) with Tsurara in his arms. Tsurara would've screamed if she could, they were flying on the sky! Tsurara could saw the people from above, they were her classmates, Torii, Maki, Shima.
"Hey, this is strange. I thought I heard Oikawa's voice from here before~" said Shima, pretty loudly that Tsurara could heard it from above.
"Me too. But she's not here," said Torii. "Maybe we're just mistaking it?"
"Come on, let's go back. Otherwise, Kiyotsugu might scold and lecture us with some nonsense later," said Maki. Shima sighed.
"Oh, well. Let's go," he said, felt disappointed. Those three went back to the shrine without even realized that Tsurara was right above them. Tsurara felt like she want to called them so that they might helped her out from this situation, but that man seem already knew her thought.
"It would be pointless to call them," he said. Tsurara glanced at him. What did he meant by that? Did he doing something that won't make them realize she was there? He really was a youkai, after all. Tsurara didn't knew how bad her expression, but judging from how the man chuckled, it must be really worst.
"Where's your home?" asked that man. Tsurara fell silent, uncertain between to tell him or not. She chose to told him.
"It's…not far. Near the big shrine," she said, felt her cheeks burned red without reason. "My home's a temple." That man nodded understandingly. The both kept silent on the way back to Tsurara's home.
On the way back to her home, no one realized about Tsurara nor the man. It looked like he used some kind of his youkai power, which made it clear that he was a youkai. When they arrived at her home, the man carried her into her house and asked,
"Which one is your room? I better carry you there." Tsurara blushed, that was a pretty rude question for a girl, wasn't it? I mean, it was a girl's room we were talking about. But Tsurara pointed on one of the door. That man opened the door and walked in nonchalantly. He put Tsurara down on her bed.
"T-Thanks," she said. That man nodded. He crouched near her and touched her right leg, exactly at where it felt hurt. Tsurara gritted her teeth, tried to drive away the pain. The man sighed.
"How could you be so carelessly like that?" He teared his own black kimono and used the teared part to wrapped the girl's wound. Tsurara gasped.
"I-I'm not asking you to do that," she said. The man smiled, looked amused.
"You can probably walk now," he said. "Your friends will come any second. So will take my leave." He turned back, walked out slowly.
"Ah, wait!" Tsurara yelled, but that man was nowhere to be found. She could just stared at where the man stood before until her friends came in and greeted her.
Rikuo rode on his transportation, the Hebi Nyoro, with a smile on his face. He was thinking about the shrine maiden. She was so adorable, like how much she blushed on his apparance. He chuckled to himself.
She was so funny, he thought. She was pretty cute, actually. That miko's clothes really suited her very well. And her hair was beautiful, it was light blue and black, a matched pair. He didn't know if she dyed it or what, but looked like it was her hair natural colours. He kept messed up with his mind until he reached his home, the Nura clan's main house. All youkai in his house greeted him politely.
"Welcome home, master!" Rikuo smiled and nodded at them. They're as polite as usual, he thought. When he was about to go to his own room, he met up with Kubinashi. Kubinashi greeted him.
"Master, I thought you won't come home for today," he grinned.
"Yeah, that old man really get on my nerves," said Rikuo. Kubinashi nodded with agreement, then he looked like realizing something.
"Master, sorry if I'm mistaking it," said Kubinashi. "But, you seemed more happier somehow. Why, if I may ask?" Rikuo gasped, how could Kubinashi realized his feeling? Was his feeling could be read from his face? Rikuo smiled.
"You can say that I found something interesting on my way back here," he said. Kubinashi nodded, realized that his master won't tell him any further, he bowed at him and left. Rikuo continued walked to his own room. He thought back at the shrine maiden he met up before. She was pretty interesting, indeed. Rikuo smile grown wider.
Maybe he had to make his visit again to that place. To meet up with the girl, of course, what else? He grinned.
Soon.
A_Carol: How about it? Good? You realized some OOC-ness here, yes? Please forgive me for grammar errors and for those who doesn't like how they become quite OOC like this. I apologize.
By the way, I just want to pour out my thought, I CAN'T BE SURE THAT RIKUO DON'T HAD ANY FEELING AT KANA! There! I said it! Please, I read the Nura-Mago chap.164 raw (i don't know what the meaning of the words they say, it's still japanese) and there's a little spark at RikuoXKana! Please Shiibashi Hiroshi! Just make it RikuoXTsurara! I beg you!
Please R&R! Every review will pump me up to update the new chapter!
