Tomoe's POV:
Class ended quickly and the moment the bell rang a rather large group of girls gathered around me. Natsu was talking to some boys over at the other side of the class room and Nanami had vanished. Where is she? Just then I saw that yankee red-head move over towards Natsu. This can't be good. I decided to listen in.
"So Fujioko right?" Red-head grinned.
"Yeah, it's Natsu..." Natsu groaned, opening one of his trademark science-fiction novels.
"I need to talk to you, meet me on the roof in fifteen minutes" Kurama said as he turned to walk off "Actually make it five" He said laughing as he walked out the classroom.
Ugh that kid is more trouble then he's worth.
Natsu's POV:
I arrived on the roof to find. Nothing. I scanned the roof, nothing was here.
"Hello?" I shouted, my voice echoing and almost emphasising the fact that I was alone and had been fooled. Suddenly the sound of muffled talking caught my attention. On the top of the door sat Nanami. Roped up and gagged, she was struggling out of her restraints.
"Nanami! Hang on I'll get you down..." I was about to scale the wall. When Nanami's muffled talking became muffled shouting. Her body rocked, pointing behind me.
"So you're the new land god?" A familiar, dark voice laughed. Kurama. I swerved around only to find a strong, rib-crushing punch to the gut. I flew back hitting the doorway, causing it to splinter. Nanami was screaming, tears streaming down her face.
"What..." I breathed. The pain throughout my body was intense and blood dripped down from my skull.
"What am I?" Kurama grinned as he walked over. Suddenly an inferno of jet-black plumage emerged from his shoulders. "I'm a crow tengu and I'm going to be the land god" He gripped my face, crushing my cheeks between his boney fingers. "And all I have to do is eat your heart" He whispered.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Someone shouted. Suddenly a mysterious body was sat on the railings of the roof. A comforting silver tail glistened in the sun. Tomoe.
"Oh and I'm guessing you're the kid's familar" Kurama laughed, easing the grip on my face. "If you stay quiet maybe I'll hire you as my new familiar"
"I wasn't talking to you" Tomoe smirked as he looked up at Nanami "I wouldn't sit there all day and watch our master's heart get ripped out"
"You've got a human familiar?" Kurama laughed at me. He looked up at Nanami and his dumb smile instantly faded. I looked up aswell only to see Tomoe and Nanami standing together above, anger plastered on their faces. Tomoe bounced the cut ropes in his hands and Nanami's demon features returned. Tomoe examined the ropes in his hands.
"Shabby tengu spell, an idiot could get out these" Tomoe sighed. Nanami looked up at him in pure horror. "You could have singed these instantly with your fire"
"Well I didn't know! Did you forget that I've only been a demon for a couple of months!"
"Yuuki's a Bakenenko!?" Kurama stuttered.
"Oh I forgot, you little bird demons become quivering cowards when there's a cat around" Tomoe laughed hysterically.
"I'm not usually violent but..." Namami sneered jumping from the top of the door. "I hate it when cute boys turn out to be jerks" As she stepped towards Kurama.
"Nanami stop!" I shouted at her. She complied as her eyes widened. Kurama's face was shocked also.
"Wait, Nanami Momozono?" He said "Nanami Momozono right? You left school this year" His eyes scanned her body, her ears, her tail. He shocked expression faded into his trademark grin. "Why should I be afraid of the girl who chased me around school?"
"Really?" Tomoe said turning towards Nanami.
"Yes really... Can you blame me? Look at him!" Nanami shouted extending her arm towards Kurama. Her cat tail twitching in annoyance.
"Ummm guys" I said as they all looked at me "Shouldn't you be saving me instead of complimenting the guy who's trying to eat me!"
"Right... Ummm... Kurama stop!" Nanami shouted at Kurama pointing her finger. Obviously trying to do a Sailor moon kind of deal.
"Ugh" Tomoe groaned as he brought out a leaf from his pocket. He threw it onto Kurama as fast a bullet. Kurama's body convulsed dramatically and a burst of coloured smoke revealed a very large, panicking ostrich. Tomoe flew forward grabbing the ostrich's neck fiercley.
"Ugh Tomoe..." Nanami said. But the words in her mouth halted as Tomoe looked at her with a malicious smile.
"Nanami... How would you feel about an ostrich feather hat..." Tomoe sneered. The ostrich panicked again.
"This isn't the 1920's!" Nanami shouted "Let him go!"
"Tomoe.. let go of him, I think he's had enough" I sighed, I was starting to feel dizzy.
"Tomoe" Nanami panicked as she rushed over to me "Natsu's bleeding we need to get him to the hospital!" She shouted, tears streaming down her face. I knew it wasn't the right time but it made me so happy to see her concern for me.
"Ugh another day then..." Clicking his fingers, Kurama converted to his true form. Tomoe glided over scooping me up over his shoulder. "Hey crow... Come within five feet of Nanami or Natsu again and I'll personally castrate you" He smiled as the three of us flew of the roof on Tomoe's fox-fire. Leaving Kurama on the roof alone, his face still shocked. But I swear I saw his smile again just before the darkness took over and I was unconscious.
