Gensoukai, Tenkuu's palace

"Pardon?" A certain tall shikigami with his long blue hair bundled up was surprised as he turned his head to look at a certain shikigami that was standing before him, separated by a desk.

"I ask you whether I can go to Tsuzuki-dono's place or not." The indifference and calm voice came from another shikigami which had short black hair along with a visor.

The other shikigamis which were there too: a dark long haired young woman, a white long haired young man with a tiger's tail on his back, an old man with his fairly short staff, a young man with golden hair and spectacles on framing his face and last was a young teen aged around 17 who had greenish blue short hair. They said nothing regarding those two shikigamis' conversation.

"Why do you want to visit him so suddenly?" There came a calm question as expected from Souryuu, the governor of this palace.

"It's something that I can't even explain…" Touda said in the same calm and flat tone as if trying to match Souryuu's tone for mocking him or irritating him.

"Why can't you explain?" Another questions from the Souryuu who would never gave into his impatient ness and lost his cool exterior though he did frown a little.

Some of the other shikigamis who were watching or rather hearing this conversation had sighed already realizing that this conversation would be getting old and long if none of them were giving up.

"…" Touda sighed experatedly. Seemed that he lost his bearing first which made Souryuu once again as the winner of this kind of battle, the battle of patient of keeping a calm cool face expression.

"Souryuu, it's not like I try to keep something from you regarding Tsuzuki-dono's matter but truthfully I also cannot understand this urge to find Tsuzuki-dono as soon as possible. It's just something calling me and urging me to see him."

At that moment no one was speaking as they tried to absorb and digest Touda's explanation which was unclear, not only for them but seemed that Touda himself had been confused by this urge and decided to react by his instinct.

"Very well—" Just before Souryuu could finish his sentence, a fast steady footsteps approaching was heard and all of them turned their attention to the door that was burst open, revealing a messenger of Tenkuu palace panting as if he had run for his dear life which was true.

"Sorry to disturb your meeting, Souryuu-sama, but Kojirou-sama and Kotarou-sama are here for there is an urgent matter regarding Tsuzuki-dono."

The mention of Tsuzuki's name had taken all the attention of the shikigamis and Souryuu wasted to time to wait as he just simply stood up and walked out from his study room to meet with those two Tengus, who were responsible guarding the Gensoukai's gate as quickly as possible while the other shikigamis followed him closely from behind. Questions were swirling around their mind and it focused on one name, Tsuzuki…what had exactly happened to him, to their master, the person whom they were pledged to.

Once outside, those two Tengus, Kojirou and Kotarou wasted no time to explain too long as they saw a group of shikigami, all with concerned and worried look approached them.

"Let us go to meifu, something has happened to Tsuzuki-dono and he requests to meet you all." The darker skinned Tengu, Kotarou said as he and his brother had readied themselves to took off to the gate. The shikigamis nodded then were off to follow both gate's guardians.

"Souryuu, is it okay to leave Taimou, Tenkou and Kouchin?" Suzaku the red phoenix guardian beast asked as they flew through the sky.

"It's okay, we have to go to Tsuzuki as quick as we can…" Souryuu answered in a calm voice though his expression and his eyes betrayed those calmness heard from his tone.

"I really hope nothing bad happen to him…" said Genbu the old shikigami who was a guardian beast form the North while he let out a long worried sigh and brushed the white long beard of his out of habit.

Both Rikugou and Kijin looked at each other in a brief moment.

"There is something bad…Rikugou-san and me see something bad…" Kijin, the oldest son of Souryuu stated in calm face. Both he and Rikugou, the student of Genbu had their ability as clairvoyants. Kijin through his divination and Rikugou through his astrology.

"Maa…let's not worry about that…it can be that there is something Tsuzuki-san want to ask us? It can be that there's nothing happen to him right?" Byakko, the tiger who was a guardian beast from the West, which was also the youngest shikigami though it may appear that Kijin was the youngest said. He was the optimist one in every situation though now his optimism seemed not to be working because the air seemed too tense and there was definitely something bad happen in Meifu, specifically toward Tsuzuki.

Touda meanwhile just kept silent. He had one very bad feeling this morning or lately these days. There was something who called him just like the time when Tsuzuki approached him at the time he was still in prison. But the difference was that something was unusually not Tsuzuki in the call. He could not sense any of Tsuzuki's usual feeling. The call was more evil and darker and the aura seemed to get stronger up until now. He just hoped that what he had been thinking would not come true which was Tsuzuki's other side started was awakening, to be exact, the dark side of him who was denied by Tsuzuki himself.

In the end all of them were sure that an omen was falling upon his master but still they hope it didn't happen or was not happening.
