Ch.4 Spying?

*Drop…*

The sound of water echoed in Yura's ears. That was weird because she knew she was on the ground before she fainted. Could it be Ryuuji nii-san's shikikami? That she wondered in her thoughts. But she dropped that idea because his shikikami wouldn't lose its shape or make that drop noise something.

*Drop…*

There it was again. Yura tried to open her eyes but she couldn't. She couldn't move her eyes' muscle even. Then the fear struck to her. It was so dark… Yura wanted to see 'him'. She was so desperate that calling him even her voice won't come.

Dark…dark…I want to get out! Rikuo-kun, help me!

At that moment, the gentle touch on Yura's forehead made her body to relax a bit. The tensed body loose up as the soothing voice came.

"Shh…It's alright, my dear. Relax, it won't hurt you."

It was that voice. The voice that belonged to that 'woman' she saw before she fainted because of pain caused by piece.

"Now, you need to go back. He misses you." After woman's voice, Yura's body relaxed more and she could open her eyes.

Her eyes met the familiar ceiling and she turned her head as the sunlight shone brightly to her eyes. "Ugh… Too bright…" Then she quickly closed her eyes as she turned other side of her head. There, Yura found a familiar person lying next to her and this person had chocolate colored hair. It was Rikuo in his day form. Yura almost gasped to see this but quickly covered her mouth to prevent noise that could wake him.

'Why is he here?'

Yura noticed something when she covered her mouth. She only covered her mouth with one hand because the other hand was in Rikuo's hand. And Yura blushed slightly that Rikuo grabbed her hand like this.

"Rikuo-kun…"

Yura was surprised by herself since she said his first name. Well, she did once yesterday but it was unintentional act like this one too. Oh…great…she was too pride to admit that she had feeling for him.

"Keikain-san, are you still sleeping?" The voice came from outside of the door. Then, someone opened the door. It was Yuki-Onna, Tsurara Oikawa, holding two set of food as she entered the room.

"Oh good, you are awake. Thank goodness."

Tsurara's voice was quite because she knew her waka was still sleeping next to Yura. She placed the foods she brought next to Yura and placed her hand on Yura's forehead.

"Still feeling dizzy?"

"Umm…No…"

"That's good. Kiniji-san said you are going to wake around this time. She worried so much that she made these foods for you and others."

Yura looked at the sets of food that Tsurara brought as she pointed. There were delicious looking-foods that prepared on to Yura. They were Japanese foods but they were on top quality or something.

"Oikawa-san…Are you sure Nura Gumi didn't call chief or something?" The bead of sweat rolled down from Yura's cheek. Tsurara shook her head.

"Nah, these are made from Kiniji-san. I and Kejoro were sitting back relaxed because she insisted to do prepare foods by herself. Although, Mochizuki-sans were eating different foods than us." Tsurara crossed her arms as she was in deep thoughts. Yura still looked at the foods that prepared, and she thought that Kiniji must have worried so much for her.

"Waka, the foods are here. Wake up, please." Yura came back from her thoughts about Kiniji and looked at Tsurara as she was waking Rikuo. "Wa..Wait, Oikawa-san!"

However, Rikuo began to stir up and opened his eyes slowly. He rubbed his eyes to wake fully from the slumbers. Rikuo blinked his eyes and saw two companies. One company was his most trusted subordinate and other company was his most wanted to see awake.

"Yura…" He muttered in his sleepy voice. Yura froze to hear that because for a moment his sleepy voice was sexy…Rikuo then gave a relief smile and gently grabbed Yura's hand again.

"I thought…you never awake …" Worried tone was mixing in his voice and Yura froze to hear that again and this time she felt guilty.

Tsurara studied this atmosphere carefully and sighed quietly. Guess she knew that her master was acting different in her presence. Something that even she couldn't pull that genuine smile from Rikuo whatever she tried to. In fact, Tsurara was kind of jealous to Yura but Yura was also her friend even though that girl was onmyoji.

'Guess I give next shot at next generation…huh? Mother…'

"Of course she's fine. The piece's energy didn't give much damage to her body."

A sudden voice made all of them to snap back to reality. They quickly turned their heads to see who it was. Well, it was Kiniji, who was in her human form except that she wore apron. She approached to Yura.

"Yura hime-chan, are you feeling better? You should eat some to feel healthy." Kiniji beamed the gentle smile to Yura and she patted Yura's head. Then, Yura thought something to say to Kiniji.

"Sorry for make you worry." You and other people of course…

"Oh, no worries. I should have said the piece would be too much for humans. I never thought I would drop it. My bad." Kiniji winced in guilty and looked at Yuki-Onna. "We should get out and give more time to Yura for eat." The ice maiden nodded and stood up as Kiniji also stood up as well.

Then, Yura stopped them for a moment. "What about the piece?"

"We got two pieces yesterday. After you lost your consciousness, I, my brother, and Ryuuji-kun went to fetch the second-piece. Boy, he was a big help. We even caught enemy alive." Then, she remembered something and grinned in enjoyment. She continued while looking at Rikuo. "Too bad, Rikuo-kun left behind because he was so worried about you."

"Kiniji-san!" Rikuo blushed slightly and offended at that statement. Kiniji giggled as she covered her mouth.

"Then, we will take our leaves. Tsurara-chan, let's go. I want to eat the shaved ice that your clan made~" Kiniji still giggled as she was pushing Tsurara to lead the way. Now, Rikuo and Yura were the one that left in the room.

The silence arrived and no one dared to break this yet. Then, a sudden growl was coming from Yura's stomach and she tried to cover it as soon as she heard it. Faint pinkish color dyed on Yura's cheeks. Rikuo laughed as he pulled the sets of food those Tsurara brought. They looked so delicious right now. Well, of course these would be enough to calm her stomach. Rikuo thought in amusing smile.

"Let's eat, shall we?"

Yura nodded and tried her best to restore her normal temperature on her face as eating the food with Rikuo. A small bird was watching them in silent on the edge of room's window.

Kiniji and Kyouji were eating their shaved ices under the cherry tree that planted in Nura Gumi's garden. Kiniji frowned as she was watching something while she was eating. Something square box was in her hand. The screen was showing Rikuo and Yura were eating the food.

["They should talk more. Oh great now the mood is friendlier than romance."] Kiniji's frown was deepening as she took a bite. Kyouji rolled his eyes.

["Sis, which you are doing is 'invading privacy,' you know?"]

["So what? I'm concerning about Yura-chan's happiness!"] Kiniji looked so offence at Kyouji's exclamation. She pouted her mouth childish.

["Too much butt in business. Anyway I already finished mine. I'm going to take walk."] Kyouji stood up as he said more bitter (?) words to her, then someone threw kick to Kyouji's back of head. Kiniji winced in pain as she could feel pain just by looking at it.

They already knew who would throw the kick to Kyouji's head out of blue. No one in here would do it since Kyouji was one of guest. Kyouji narrowed his eyes and hissed poisonously as he turned his eyes to the culprit, the young man that same age about Kyouji. The culprit didn't show any sigh of guilty instead, he yelled.

["Dame you, Kyouji! Or whatever that name you made here! How dare you to give me that job while you enjoy the food with Kiniji big sis!"]

Kiniji sighed in frustration and cover her eyes with one hand. ["Ankin, you should not do that even to my brother."] And she turned to her attention to another young boy stood behind culprit. ["And you too, Suima. You could stop him before he would to that."]

The boy named Ankin had short cut hair with light pink color and silver colored eyes. He wore white training jumper and jeans with a headphone around his neck. Another boy named Suima had dark-violet long pony tail style hair and black colored eyes. He wore something formal like black male suit-dress. Suima wanted to be in his god-form because he was fonder to those clothes. That was reason why he didn't stop Ankin to kick Kyouji's head because he wasn't in his good mood.

["Using one of your specialties to sniffing other people's business…?"] Suima sighed deeply when he saw the square screen in Kiniji's hand. Her eyes narrowed and turned off the screen. ["None of your business. You guys were late."]

["Kiniji big-sis, don't include me in there. I tried to get here as soon as I can. You know we aren't use to Japanese."] Ankin wined and hugged her waist. Kyouji's raised his brow in disturbance and tried to grab that prevent who hugged his sister.

Then, someone grabbed Ankin's jumper's collar and pulled him forcefully from Kiniji. It was Ryuuji, who was in bad mood that no one knew.

"Who the hell are you?" Ryuuji asked, more like demanding.

"They are gods just like us, Ryuuji-kun. The rest of four symbols of Korean." Kiniji answered to him despite that she didn't looked surprise that Ryuuji helped (?) her. "You know the enemies we captured them yesterday? I asked them to get out information from the enemy as soon as they arrive to this main house."

Ryuuji huffed in the breath and glared to Ankin in disbelief. It looked like he didn't like Ankin. Ankin and Suima got confused look because they didn't know Japanese fully well. They didn't bother to learn.

["So, what those kids said?"] Kyouji asked while rubbing back of his head. The pain was still killing him. Suima shook his head slightly, showing they didn't get much information of enemy's intention.

["I broke their arms and legs to make them spit the information but they didn't. Man, they sure locked their mouths. Just like you, lizard."] Ankin replied in annoyed way since it was Kyouji. The veins were popping on Kyouji's head.

["Who are you calling lizard, you stupid cat."] Kyouji had enough, so he called his sword from the air again. Ankin also called his weapon, the giant-hammer, from the air as well.

["Ready for a round?"]

["I'm gonna slice you into tiny pieces."] Kyouji growled.

["Okay, that's enough."] Kiniji yelled as she threw some powder to them. Then, their bodies fell on the ground and sounded sleep. Ryuuji looked a bit shock to see this. Kiniji grinned in victorious.

"Sleeping powder. One of my inventories. You can have some." Then Kiniji handed over the powder pouch to Ryuuji, more like forcing him to receive it. Suima sighed as he was watching this mass.

["So, are you going to introduce us to this Rikuo guy or not?"]

["Oh yeah, since you guys are here I should bring you guys to him. I wonder if they finished the food."] Kiniji said as she turned on the screen box again. This time Ryuuji narrowed his eyes when he saw this.

"What's that? Are you spying them?" His voice sounded serious.

"I was merely watching over them. Oh, my." Kiniji covered her mouth in surprise as soon as she looked at the screen box. Ryuuji tried to look at it but Kiniji was fast enough to cover it. "Sorry, Ryuuji-kun. If you see this, you might faint."

"What would this youkai attempt to my sister?" Ryuuji growled fiercely that Suima flinched as he heard that despite he didn't know Japanese, Ryuuji sounded so angry.

"Just friendly act." Kiniji grinned as she was replying to him.

In the screen, Yura got food on near her lips. Rikuo noticed it and cleaned it for her then he ate it. Yura's face flushed in mixed feelings and yelled at him 'why did you eat it?' Rikuo just said innocently 'that would be waste so I ate it?' to Yura.

A/N: since Rikuo and Yura are not in battle field so I put more romance in here. Okay, more seriousness will be in next chapter.
