Mitsu yawned waking up. She felt better than she had the day before. "Morning." Akane said walking in. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Perfectly fine." She smiled and nodded. "I'm feeling better than yesterday." She got up and stretched. "So what is the plan for today? Now that I'm up to it I think I'll be fine to leave the mansion."

"Sounds good." Akane nodded. "I'll take you to see the other Hachiyou. Actually Yatsuaki-san is on his way over right now so you'll be able to meet him now."

"Which Hachiyou is he?" Mitsu asked.

"Genbu of Heaven. Abe no Yatsuaki." Akane smiled. "Just a warning, he's a little strange, but he's a good guy."

Mitsu nodded. "I can't wait to meet him."

"Miko." Both girls looked over at the tall man with long green hair. It was tied on the side of his head and hung over his shoulder. He wore a bead necklace and had a dragon gem under his right eye. The left side of his face was shaded slightly blue. He looked at Mitsu and nodded. "Hime."

"Mitsu-Chan, this is Yatsuaki-san." Akane smiled. "Yatsuaki-san I would like to introduce you to my friend Mitsu-chan."

Yatsuaki nodded and walked forward. He looked at Mitsu and seemed to eye her over completely. "Her energy is even again."

"That's good!" Akane smiled. "Yatsuaki-san we're going to go see the others, do you want to come with us?"

"Sorry Miko, I have business to take care of." He bowed his head and then turned and left.

"He was sure interesting." Mitsu chuckled.

"Here come on, I'll take you to meet the others, maybe we can get some food while we are out." She smiled.

"Sounds good." Mitsu nodded. "Let's go then." The two girls turned to leave the mansion. Yorihisa stood waiting for them at that gate. "Good morning Yorihisa-San."

He nodded. "We are going to see Tomamasa-san, Eisen-san, and Takamichi-san today." Akane told the guard. Yorihisa nodded and followed them out of the mansion.

"So who are we going to see first?" Mitsu asked.

"Probably Takamichi-san. He's the easiest to find." Akane said.

After a while they arrived at a large mansion. Many people nodded their heads to Akane and Yorihisa in respect. Mitsu felt a little out of place. A man walked out of the house and looked over. He had long dark green hair tied back behind his head and wore glasses. His dragon jewel was on the side of his neck.

"Hi Takamichi-San!" Akane waved.

"Miko-dono." He smiled. "Yorihisa…. And who is this?" He looked at Mitsu.

"Takamichi-San, this is Mitsu-Chan. She's the Ryuujin no Hime. She's from my world."

"Very nice to meet you Hime-dono." Takamichi nodded. "Would you like to come in and get something to eat?" Takamichi asked.

"Thank you Takamichi-san." Akane smiled. They walked in; Mitsu looked back and blinked seeing Yorihisa standing outside.

"Yorihisa-san?"

"Go ahead in." Yorihisa nodded.

Mitsu nodded and headed inside. She sat down next to Akane while Takamichi had some food brought in for them. "So Miko-dono, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine." Akane smiled as they ate. "I just came to introduce Mitsu-Chan to everyone."

Takamichi nodded. "I am Takamichi Fujiwara, the Byakko of Heaven Hachiyou. I am also the vice minister of Civil affairs." He smiled gently. "Miko-dono, should I summon Tomamasa-dono?"

"Is that alright?" Akane asked.

"Tomamasa-dono is probably wandering around doing nothing right now." Takamichi smiled. He waved a girl in and asked for them to go find Tomamasa. "Hime-dono, what is that necklace you are wearing?"

"Because I am the Ryuujin no Hime, I have been sent to find the Ryuujin stones. This is the stone for Genbu." She smiled. "The Ryuujin messenger told me that there are four, and for each I get a stone."

"I see, so what power did you get from that stone?" Takamichi asked.

"I can create a barrier." Mitsu smiled. "But if I hold the barrier for too long it drains my energy."

"That is unfortunate." A voice spoke from behind them.

"Ah! Tomamasa-dono." Takamichi looked up. "Come sit and meet the new home."

The man had long free flowing paler green bluish hair. He wore a flower covered kimono that showed off a little of his chest. A dragon gem was shining slightly on his neck, between his collar bones. He moved forward and sat next to Mitsu. "Hello little Hime." He smiled. "I am Tomamasa Tachibana, the general of the left imperial guards. The Byakko of Earth."

"Hello." Mitsu nodded. "I'm Mitsu Akakoyuki, the Ryuujin no Hime."

"You are also gorgeous." He smiled as he leaned in and brushed a hair out of Mitsu's face.

She blushed. "Tomamasa-dono!" Takamichi scolded.

Tomamasa chuckled. "I am merely saying hello to Mitsu-Hime." He smiled. "Tell me," He turned to Mitsu again. "You said that you are searching for these Ryuujin stones? Are those like the seals that we are searching for?"

"I don't know much about the seals…. And I'm still learning about the stones… But it seems like there are some similarities. There are four each, one for each of the four gods."

Tomamasa nodded. "Well I'd best be going." He got up. "I will see you later Takamichi-san. Have a good day Miko-dono, Mitsu-hime." He bowed his head to them and then left.

"Well we'd better go as well; I am going to take Mitsu-Chan to see Eisen-san." Akane nodded. "Thank you for the food Takamichi-san."

"It was my pleasure." Takamichi smiled and nodded as he got up. "I'd better head to work as well. It was nice meeting you Hime-dono." Takamichi nodded.

Mitsu smiled and nodded. They got up and headed off again. "Takamichi-san seems nice… Tomamasa-san he's…" Mitsu shifted. "He's different."

Akane smiled. "Yes, but he's a good Hachiyou and he's very helpful. Plus he and Takamichi-san are good friends, as well as partners."

"Like Yorihisa-san and Tenma-san?" Mitsu looked over at Yorihisa, who was following them.

Akane nodded and looked up as they arrived at a pool. She smiled. "Eisen-San is here!"

"How do you know?" Mitsu asked, but paused as she heard a noise. It sounded like a flute. "Do you hear that?!"

"That's Eisen-san!" Akane smiled. "Come on, I'll show you." Mitsu followed Akane towards a small pool of water. A boy stood by the water, playing his flute. He had long purple hair. He was pretty cute.

"Hello Eisen-san!" Akane called.

The boy turned around and was flushing. "Miko!" He blinked noticing Mitsu.

"Eisen-san, I want to introduce you to Mitsu-Chan." Akane smiled as Eisen walked towards them. "She is the Ryuujin no Hime. She's like me."

Eisen nodded. "Hello Hime. It's nice to meet you now." He smiled. "It is nice to meet you."

"Eisen-san, would you like to join us back at Fujihime-san's mansion? That way you can get to know Mitsu better. We can explain what the Ryuujin no Hime is."

"That sounds nice." Eisen nodded.

Yorihisa nodded. "I will lead the way then." He turned and started walking.

"That is a very beautiful necklace." Eisen said looking down at the Genbu stone around Mitsu's neck.

"It is one of the stones that I have to find as the Ryuujin no Hime." Mitsu touched it. "Aren't you the Hachiyou of Genbu?"

Eisen nodded. "Yes."

Mitsu smiled. "That's cool… But I have to find the other three stones now."

"We will help, right Yorihisa-san?" Akane smiled.

Yorihisa nodded. Mitsu smiled. It's kind of nice here, minus the demons and oniryo…. And the people are nice. She looked back at Yorihisa as he guarded the area. I feel safe around them, and Akane-Chan is very nice. "We should all have lunch outside today."

"That sounds fun." Akane smiled.
