"Tooru~ why is your father calling us this early in the morning?" Hoshi whined as she flapped down towards Oikawa's head while rubbing her eyes. "I don't know, probably another spirit problem…" Oikawa answered as he march down towards the hall.
When they reached the throne room, the king was sitting on his chair patiently while the queen looked worried for some reason. "Good morning father and mother." Oikawa greeted with a bow resulting for Hoshi to fall down but Oikawa managed to catch her at the last minute. The spirit looked at him pouting and Oikawa smiled carefully. "Sorry~" he stated carefully.
Hoshi nodded and flew towards the king's head and sat there. "Good morning my king and my queen," she greeted with a yawn.
"Good morning to you too Hoshi-san." The queen greeted happily while the king scratch the left ear wolf ear of the spirit making her lay down on the king's head for Oikawa this type exchange of greetings was normal for his spirit and his parents.
"I'm sorry for waking you two up this early in the morning but there is an urgent matter on the east of our kingdom there were reports of evil fire spirit burning the farmlands," his father stated.
"I see…" Oikawa answered with a nod, "shall I go now?" he asked.
"Yes, the things you need are already on the carriage, I've also sent Iwazumi, Matsukawa and Hanakami with you." The king answered.
Oikawa nodded in understanding. "Thank you father," he replied with a bow. "Hoshi, let's go!" Oikawa called out and the spirit rose up from the king's head. "We will be returning soon!" she stated with a smile towards the king and the queen sitting on the throne.
The king nodded and the queen smiled back, "good luck and please come back home safely."
As they entered the carriage, Oikawa's three friends followed shortly. "A fire spirit huh?" Matsukawa asked as the carriage began to move. "Something like Hoshi-san… how would you defeat that?" Hanamaki asked as he watched the spirit who was looking outside.
"That would be easy! I mean Hoshi-chan is pretty much that strongest fire spirit in existence, right?" Oikawa asked his spirit.
"It won't be easy…" Hoshi answered carefully.
"See what di— what?!" Oikawa half screamed towards his spirit.
"Fighting a spirit like me would be difficult. The saying; 'we will fight fire with fire' against this situation isn't a good choice. It will lead to more damaged to the rice fields and its best to avoid that because the east is one of the biggest supplier of root crops in this kingdom." Hoshi answered still looking outside eyes obviously clouded with thoughts.
"What do you suggested?" Iwazumi asked as he raised a brow.
Hoshi turned towards them and smiled. "We'll be needing your help and someone else."
"Me?" Iwazumi asked as he pointed at himself.
Hoshi nodded and turned her attention back towards the view outside. "We're taking a detour."
After a few more minutes the carriage stop and Hoshi cheered and flew outside thanking the person in charge of the carriage she flew towards the forest. "HOSHI-CHAN WAIT UP!" Oikawa shouted and ran to follow the small spirit.
"It seems like Hoshi-san is energetic this morning," Matsukawa commented and the other two agreed with him. They looked at each other, nodded and dash towards the forest.
Oikawa covered his eyes with his hands and blinked to adjust to the light. When his eyes did, he saw a vast river in front of him. The water shinning as the light hits it. "Hoshi-chan, where are we?" He asked his spirit who was in front of him. Hoshi grinned, "this is a secret river that I found back then!"
"Then what are we doing here?" Oikawa asked looked around admiring the location. "Meeting an old friend!" Hoshi answered with an excited smile.
"This is neat," Matsukawa who appeared with the other two commented as the three of them observed the area.
"Perfect place to have a picnis," Hanamaki commented.
"What are we doing here?" Iwazumi asked Oikawa and the said boy shrugged, "she said she was meeting with an old friend."
Before the trio could ask any further, Hoshi began to shout. "OI! HISANO COME HERE FOR A SECOND!"
And the water began to shine brighter; a bubble appeared from the water and floated towards them. This bubble popped and to surprise of the four it was another spirit. The spirit was the a female and the same height of Hoshi, she had short blue hair that reached her shoulder and blue eyes to match it as well. She was wearing a blue and gold yukata. And a distinct feature of this spirit was the blue gills on its ears.
"HISANO!" Hoshi shouted happily and flew towards the arms of the other spirit. "Well, well… long time no see, Hoshi-san." The spirit named Hisano replied and hugged the spirit back.
"I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A LONG TIME! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!" Hoshi exclaimed as she buried her face on the other spirit's chest. "Well, we were both busy," Hisano smiled as she patted the Hoshi on the head.
"Umm… Hoshi-chan…?" Oikawa called out awkwardly.
At the mention of her name Hoshi looked back at her companions and laughed awkwardly. "Oh yeah… hahaha… sorry about that." She stated as she looked down. "Hisano, this are my companions; Tooru, Hajime, Matsukawa and Hanamaki." She stated as she pointed at the group of males. "Guys! This is a water spirit! Her name is Hisano!" She introduce the spirit to the group with a smile.
"Nice to meet you." Hisano said with a bow and the boys bowed back.
"Okay now that's settled. Hisano we need your help!" Hoshi announced as she turned towards the water spirit. "I'll be more than willing to help. Is it about the events happening in the east field?" Hisano answered with a smile. "Exactly! Now her— how did you know?" Hoshi asked as she titled her head.
"I'm connected to that river Hoshi-san." Hisano answered.
"Really?! Great now! No more explanations then, right? You know why I need your help?" Hoshi asked again her wolf ears moving upwards.
"Yes… but he must ready."
"I'll— you can feel it?"
"Of course. I have been a spirit for some people now and I know a pure heart when I see one."
"Neat! Okay wait here!" Hoshi cheered excitedly, her white tail moving sideways. She flew in front of Iwazumi. "Hajime-chan, this will be your role. Make a contract with Hisano."
"WHAT?!" the four of the shouted in shocked.
"It's not permanent contract! We need Hisano just so we could defeat that fire spirit!" Hoshi stated encouragingly. "We could end the contract after this mission," Hisano stated with a nod.
Iwazumi's gaze went from his companions to the water spirit and towards the fire spirit who was looking at him with hopeful eyes. He sighed, "Will it be alright? I'm no prince after all."
Immediately upon hearing this Hoshi smiled brightly and did a back-flip in midair. "Of course it is! That prince rule is a thing but there are times that spirits pick ordinary people to be our companion as long as this mortal has a pure heart nothing's wrong with that!"
Oikawa pouted at this, "you didn't told us about that!"
"It's an unspoken rule and spirits aren't supposed to say it to mortals like you guys except of course if needed." Hoshi answered in a matter of fact tone.
"You better not be keeping anymore secrets from us or to me," Oikawa warned. Hoshi tilted her head and flew right in front of Oikawa. "Are you annoyed that you thought that you know everything about me or about us?" Hoshi asked.
"Of course I am! We've been together for like four years and you didn't even told me about that!" Oikawa answered still pouting. "How old are you again?" Hoshi asked.
"Seventeen why?"
"Well, damn… you act like a seven years old."
"WHAT!?"
Hoshi flew in front of Iwazumi and smiled. "Make the contract!" she said excitedly as she flailed her arms on an up and down manner. "Sure but there's no maester , how will—" Iwazumi tried to ask but was quickly interjected by the Hoshi. "Don't worry! I'm here! A spirit like me can make a contract as well!"
"How is that even p—"
"OKAY!" Hoshi shouted no letting Iwazumi to finish his question and turned towards Hisano. "Do you agree to take this man as your contractor in order to defeat the evils of the world?"
"As I spirit I agree to take this man as my contractor." Hisano answered with a smile.
Then Hoshi turned towards Iwazumi but to his surprised he saw the spirits eyes glowing a bright shade of red. "Do agree to take Hisano as your spirit companion and do you promise to use her powers for the greater glory of peace between the world of the spirits and mortals?"
"I agree to take Hisano as my companion to maintain the peace between the two worlds." Iwazumi answered firmly.
"Good, now upon the power that is bestowed upon me the both of you shall defeat the evils of this world hand in hand. Rise Iwazumi Hajime. Rise the water spirit, Hisano."
From the fist of Iwazumi and Hisano a bright light appeared blinding them temporarily. And when the light was gone they saw an imagine of what seems to be mermaid.
"Congrats you two!" Hoshi shouted as she hugged Hisano and smiled towards Iwazumi. "Now here's the plan!"
"Aren't you too fast paced about this?" Hanamaki commented with a sweat drop.
"Time is gold!" Hoshi stated with a smile. "Me and the others will go east to attract the spirit tormenting the place and while we're doing that Hajime-chan and Hisa-chan will stay here and they will manifest in order to extinguish the fire and while the spirit is weaken will purify it."
"How fast did you think of that plan?" Matsukawa answered.
Hisano giggled, "always the quick-witted wolf."
Hoshi beamed with delight, "oh thank you!"
