* Natsume p.o.v *

I open my eyes slowly after I do not know how long I fainted.

'Where is this' I thought. I looked around... my bag are there right beside me.

I was in a spacious room, spacious for just one person. In front of me there is one door.

In which the door would soon be opened because I heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

The door is open, enter a blond with black bellow Hair man, wearing black scraft.

( A.N

think his head didn't float, but his scraft covered his entire neck )

' Why this man felt like he isn't a human? '

o no .. no ...

' Fake sleep ' i think quick. But i trully feel panick inside!

' Where is nyanko-sensei who claimed to be my bodyguard !!! '

* Normal p.o.v *

Kubinashi entered his master room where they put their unknown guest rest. They want to put the unknown guest at the main room where all the yokai nura clan can watch it, but Rikuou-sama insist to put it in his own room. Why? Rikuou-sama just said do it.

( A.N

They refering natsume as it for time being)

Kubinashi bring their guest new change clothes. But Kubinashi look at their suposed awake guest.

' is he try to fake sleep? ' Kubinashi amused to see Natsume.

" you're not good faking thing, with you body shaking like that. o guest-san " Kubinashi say, make Natsume flinch.

" ack-" Natsume cover his mouth

Kubinashi sat beside where Natsume lay, put the guest change clotes.

" Who are you? " Kubinashi start to introgate him.

' ? How come they ask who am i when they targeting me!? Must be some trap to fool me ' Natsume think, still covering his mouth.

" ...what are afraid of? Answer me! who ar- " Kubinashi didn't continue his introgation.

Someone suddenly entering

" Kubinashi, is Rikuo-sama here? Ah! " Tsurara entering the room and asking, then she see their unknown guest woke up.

Natsume feeling say, the one just entered also not human too.

Tsurara and Kubinashi look at each other, they look like talking just with eyes.

Tsurara get out of the room and continue searching Rikuo, and Kubinashi stay in the room watching natsume if he do something suspicious.

Silent fall in the room.

Not long after that, they hear running steps.

Once again there is something, no someone,...

no, more then one!!!

" Kubinashi is he really awa- GYAAH!!" Rikuo enter the room with other ( yokai mainly ) and Rikuo clumsy come in sudden make other fall upon him.

" Ouch "

" Aww "

" Ow, my head hurt "

" Hey, quick stand all of you... "

" Rikuo-sama!!! "

They're so many noise they make.

One by one stand up, and muttering sorry to Rikuo. Tsurara helping Rikuo to stand up.

"Owwie... ah... it's 'kay guys, so... is he really awake?" Rikuo regained his composure asking about the guest.

" ha'i! it-... he awake some minutes ago Rikuo-sama, tough... he wont talk for some reason " Kubinashi tell Rikou.

Rikuo look at Natsume, who still covering his mouth.

( A.N

how long it is? O my... poor natsume XD)

Rikuo see the confused and a bit... or lot scared emotion...

Rikuo smile gently, reasuring Natsume, hope he wont be scared of him.

" ... uum.. Hello there, umm... are you feeling well? " ask Rikuo to Natsume.

' this kid... human? But i feel a yokai aura even just slightly. If i racall, i have a friend in same case like this kid. uum, half yokai half human? Oo the crossmerriage. ' Natsume drown in his own though. Then startled because Kubinashi was spat out a bad word like

" how rude him to ignore our young master " Rikuo stopped him tou before Kubinashi do somethibg physically.

Natsume feel rude for not answering Rikuo. Seems like, Rikuo is genuine asking how was his well being. So, Natsume let his hand down.

" ah, i'm sorry for my rudeness... etto... and yes, i think i feeling well... thanks for your concern... uum " silently Natsume ask Rikuo name. And Rikuo understand what Natsume want.

" ow, i'm Nura Rikuo, just call me Rikuo " Rikuo introduce himself.

" Nura-kun... i'm Natsume Takashi... uum... can i ask? " Natsume intro himself too. And... feeling weird because all other occupants ( like Tsurara, Kubinashi, there is Kurotabou, Aotabou, Kejorou, exc. ) glaring at him intently.

" yes ask right away Natsume-san "

Rikuo whispering to other reprimend them.

" Psssh, guys. Don't be hard on him. He just like my other human friend "

" Actually master, i think he can see we all... Am I right? Natsume-san " Kubinashi tell Rikuo and talk directly to Natsume.

" ... uum... yes... " Answer Natsume.

" Eeeh, you can see them?!! You know Kubinashi and Tsurara not a Human?!! And even Me?!! " Rikuo surprissed. Natsume nodded to confirm Rikuo bewilder.

" So that's why your spirit power are bigger than other human? " Kurotabou asking, testing Natsume.

Natsume look directly at where Kurotabou was.

" yeah... it make me think you're an onmyouji " Tsurara laugh a litle while glaring, warning Natsume.

" uumm.. no... i'm not an onmyouji. I just... can see.. you know... lineage " Natsume.

" oow... so like that. So... what you want to ask Natsume-san? " Rikuo.

They shut their mouth, they let Natsume asking next.

" uum... okay... where am i? And where is Sofutori? "

They still silent. Tsurara, Kubinashi, Aotabou and Kurotabou pull Rikuo into theis circle a momment.

" Rikuo-sama, is Natsume-san not an enemy? " Tsurara begin their discussion with wishpering.

" from what i see, he was still suspicious one. But, he seems confused? " Kubinashi added.

" i dont know. I feel not a singgle lie since he talk " Rikuo answered they question.

" so he tell all truth? About his name " Aotabou and Kurotabou ask. They both are just like a twin.

" yeah. For now he is white. Now... let me answer his question. He himself dont know where he is " Rikuo out of the circle and back to face Natsume.

" aah, where is this you ask Natsume-san? You're in my Home , at Nura clan manor " Rikou tell Natsume cheerfully.

" eeh, uum... where is it exactly? "

" you mean town? You're in Ukiyoe Town " Rikuo smile brightly innocently.

Natsume mind over heat... he is not home... ouch... what, how come i go so far away. Oh yeah. That Overgrownbird yokai...

" that big bird... did it bring me here? " Natsume

" Bird? What bird? We dont see any bird when you fall "

" ... i fall... aah... i remember, i fainted after strugling to out of his claws ... and then... " Natsume mumbling, Rikuo hear it clear tou.

' Sufu-... Sofutori is the big bird yokai, and the one wounded him? ' Rikuo think.

" seems like you're not from here right. And... what bird are you calling? " ask Rikuo to Natsume.

" uum, yeah... it's a bird... big bird... a yokai calling himself Sofutori from Kyöryüokitori family. It took me, or kidnaped me somehow... i dont know why it take me away... i think i being it food or what " Natsume though and he became pale.

" ... now it clear... you're really not an enemy to nura clan. You're not intend to come here with bad intention... it's good, right guys " Rikuo

Other nodded feel relived because there was no enemy seems like.

" ah, sorry... i made you all warry of me there. Aa... you tell me i falling right? " Natsume ask. Now, in Rikuo mind he felt want to play flirting a little.

" Yes... it surprissed me you know. There was not avery day, you got human a cute one falling into your arm suddenly from the sky " Rikuo say with playful tone.

It make Natsume face became hot.

' cute! He easy embrassed, and clearly blushing ' shout Rikuo in his mind. And the other think same.
