Summary: Ishiko found her friend's first time summon hilarious. Masumi was not amused at all. Nor her owlet summon either.

A hysterical laughter bubbled forth from a blind little girl. She bent over, her hands on her knees. She almost fell over, but held her standing. Meanwhile, Michiko whom supervised their first attempted summoning, looked amused as she watched the humorous scene happening in a front of her.
Masumi turned her head, glared at her laughing friend. It only made Ishiko laughing louder than before.
"Oh Kami! That's a riot! HA-ha-! Goddess! my stomach hurt!" Ishiko heaved, choking between the laughter and desperately gasped for the air at the same time. Her arms raised to clutch around her stomach.
Her tiny summon creaked open his left round eye, shooting an annoyed glare at the person who made a noisy ruckus that interrupted his nap. He huffed irritably. He really did not like someone interrupting his precious nap.
The irritating owlet hopped toward the laughing source in a short, quick stride. The nine years old heiress blinked in confusion a couple of times and looked at her new summon curiously. She could tell from her summon's avian face that Taidaime was greatly annoyed by her laughing friend. She got a vague impression that he disliked to have his nap interrupting. She didn't attempt to ask him about what did he was up to. Rather, she wanted to see how did her avian summon expressing his displeasure to Ishiko.
Ishiko blinked owlishly, her eyebrows furrowed quizzically as her sharp hearing picked up the hopping sounds that the owlet made. And it was on the ways toward her. Her laughter slightly slowed down.
"Eh, ha, What's he doin- OW! MY-" Ishiko exclaimed in pain as she felt something sharp sinking into her sensitive big toe. The owlet bit a bigger one of her toes on her right foot. Its beaks weren't sinking deep enough to draw out her blood, but it still hurt a lot. Reflexively, she jerked off her foot away from the avian menace. Her jerky movement caused an owlet released its beak quickly. It stumbled a bit and turn around, there was a few loose gray feathers straying in the air as it hastily wobbled toward Masumi before Ishiko recovered from a sudden pain.
To the owlet's pleasure, Masumi was swooping him quickly in her hands and shielded him from a full blunt of the blind nine years old girl's wrath. Ishiko growled seethingly as she bent forward to rub her throbbing big toe.
She sensed that avian menace in her best friend's arms. She knew that she strictly forbidden to beat up or injury her clan's owl summons. It would bar her from summoning her own owl summon. That owlet would inform the Owl Summon Clan about her if she dared to do that to him. And that damn owlet knew it!
Ha! Serve her right! Taidaime thought vindictively, his feathery chest puffed with the smugness. It felt good to have the justice served.
Ishiko definitely sensed the smugness from him, from that way her milky blue, blank eyes looked directly at him as if she tried to burn him to a crisp with her glare. She would find a way to turn a table on that little smug ball of feathers without breaking that rule.
Completely ignoring the glowing blind girl's withering glare irreverently, Taidiame happily dozed off, his sleepiness causing by the pleasant feeling of having snuggled into his new mistress's warmth.
A/N: Hello again, Here is this short chapter (a minor break from the action scenes) for you! This chapter was following right after a previous chapter 11, Owlet. (If you don't remember then, I suggest you look back and re-read chapter 11, It will help you connect between the two dots.) Heh, It seems that Masumi's first owlet summon have a quite mean bite when its nap interrupted. Hope that you like the intersection between Taidaime and Ishiko.
Please kindly review this chapter! Your reviews are feeding my motivation to write more upcoming chapters!
