Oikawa jumped from tree to tree (in an inhuman speed) as he tried to avoid the dark presences behind him who kept on attacking him from time to time. "Get to the river! Get to the river! Get to the river!" the young prince chanted in his mind as he jumped.
After a few more minutes, Oikawa saw the sparkling water ahead of him and he felt as if he finally saw the light at the end of an endless tunnel. Although, when he turned around his eyes widen because behind him the monster threw a ball of energy at his direction.
Oikawa draw out his twin blades from its sheath and focused his energy towards the two blades. He managed to the slice the dark energy ball in half but the collision between the swords and the ball of energy sent him flying towards the ground. But he was thankful because that collision made his job faster.
As the monster stood in front of him a wave of water collided with the monster and the said creature visibly shrunk in sizes.
"Iwa-chan nice!" Oikawa exclaimed as he send a thumbs up towards his friend who was now in his manifested form. Oikawa noted that Iwazumi looked like a merman and he wondered if Hisano was a mermaid. "My turn!" Oikawa stated and ran towards the monster with his twin blades within a second the blades were covered again by flames, he slash forward but the monster jumped sideways. Oikawa pouted when he realized that he only removed a (what seems to be a) limb from the send creature.
Iwazumi charged forward, great sword in hand and just like Oikawa's blades, the great sword on his hand within a second was covered with water and the creature's eyes widen, he wasn't expecting that move. And with just one swinging he managed to cut the creature in half.
Oikawa pouted. "I lost to Iwa-chan!" he complained in a whining voice.
"You never won against me anyway," Iwazumi answered as he raised his right brow.
"Oh I do win against you when it comes to gir—" Oikawa could not finish his sentence when he was splashed by water from his best friend. "HEY!" Oikawa shouted and he stared at his clothes until he realized that he was wearing his normal clothes again. At the corner of his eyes he saw a tiny figure with red hair panting at the ground. "T-that was close…" Hoshi panted nervously.
"HOSHI-CHAN YOU BETRAYED ME!" Oikawa complained as he picked up the smaller spirit and a pout was nestling on his lips. "I'm so sorry Tooru! But I can't get splashed with water in manifest form I get weak!" Hoshi explained with tiny bows.
"Huh? Why is that?" Oikawa asked as he tilted his head.
"Because water defeats fire," a feminine voice answered and when Oikawa turned to the source of the voice he saw Hisano and Iwazumi who was back with his normal clothes. "But just in manifest form…?" Iwazumi asked again. Hisano turned towards him and nodded with a smile, "yes… usually when we are in this form were basically immortals we could not be harmed in this form but when we manifest with a human that's when everything starts to play out from regular injuries and powers from other spirits, we could be harmed by anything in manifest form."
"I see…" Iwazumi nodded in understanding.
"But how can Hoshi-chan just deactivate the manifest form? I always thought that you need the help of the human to do that?" Oikawa asked.
"We could deactivate the manifest form with our own will but that will take all the remaining energy from our body." Hisano explained. "And I guess Hoshi-san would rather have no energy at all than to be soaked in water." Hisano commented with a giggle.
"Water sucks when I'm in manifest form!" Hoshi declared as she fist pumped the air.
"Hoshi-san… it's time to break the contract." Hisano stated with a smile and Hoshi's eyes watered, she jumped towards her friend and thankfully enough Hisano managed to catch her. "HISANO-CHAN! I'M GOING TO MISS YOU!" Hoshi cried out. Hisano didn't say anything but she patted her fellow spirit awkwardly.
"At least say something!" Hoshi said with a pout as she looked back towards her friend. "We're still going to meet… I mean after cancelling the contract I'll end up flowing just like the river." Hisano said with a smile.
Hoshi blinked at her, "whatever you said… it is as deep as this river."
Hisano giggled and ruffled the fire spirits hair. "See ya in about hundreds of years..."
"Actually… you'll be meeting every day." Iwazumi suddenly announced the three of them turned towards Iwazumi in shock. "Uhh… Iwa-chan… can you repeat that?" Oikawa asked with a dumb struck expression on his face (like in the last episode when he was talking to Ushijima). "Did chasing the monster make you deaf, Assikawa?" Iwazumi answered.
"HEY HAVE SOME RRESPECT I'M THIS COUNTRIES PRINCE!" Oikawa answered like a child.
"I won't be breaking the contract…" Iwazumi repeated his voice firm and serious. Hoshi cried tears of happiness and shouted, "THAT'S WHY I LIKE YOU SO MUCH HAJIME-CHAN!" You could hear Oikawa screaming that Hoshi should only like him since he is their contractor. Hisano blinked at him, "why did you change your mind? Because of the power?" she asked carefully wavering at the end.
The three of them noticed the waver on the water spirits tone at the end. "That and it doesn't feel right to separate you and Hoshi anymore. It looks like the both of you had a long history." Iwazumi answered.
Hisano beamed upon hearing this and flew towards Iwazumi as she hugged the said boy on his cheek. "If only I could give you a full hug I would!" she stated happily. "Thank you so much!" she added.
"Don't mention it." Iwazumi answered as he patted the spirits head a slight hue of pink dusting the boys cheeks.
"HOSHI ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Oikawa shouted in panic as he picked up the wolf spirit that had fallen to the ground when the water spirit flew towards her contractor. "D-did I just turn into a nocturnal spirit? Why am I seeing stars?" Hoshi answered as she pointed at the sky. "HOSHI HANG IN THERE!" Oikawa cried.
A knowing smile was painted on the water spirits face as she watched the scene. "What's with that smile?" Iwazumi asked as he saw the spirits face. Hisano shook her head as she turned towards the her contractor. "I… I'm really glad Hoshi went to you guys," she answered.
"Eh?" Oikawa reacted upon hearing it. "What do you mean?"
The spirit shook her head, "nothing…just… thank you so much for taking care of her…" Hisano answered as she bowed deeply.
"Hmm? Spirits are weird… right Hos— don't just sleep!"
"I see, welcome to Aobajosai, Hisano-san." The king greeted with a bow. "Ah! Hisano is fine! And please don't bow I'm not at the same level as Hoshi to be bowed at!" Hisano stated as she flailed her arms sweat building on the water spirits forehead. "Speaking of… Tooru, my dear, where is Hoshi-san?" the queen asked looking around.
At that cue a hand burst out of the prince right chest pocket. "I'M HERE!" Hoshi answered as she popped her head out of the pocket and hang both of her arms on the edge of the pocket. "You fine now?" Oikawa asked as he looked at his pocket. Hoshi beamed at her contractor and her wolf ears moved up and down. "I'm hungry! Tooru gimme something sweet!"
"We'll being having dinner later, wait for it, okay?" Oikawa requested as he rub the spirits left wolf ear. The spirit sighed in what seemed to be a comfortable way, "okay…" she mumbled comfortably.
"Before we have dinner, I have something to tell you." The king stated as he went back to seat on his throne. "What is it?" Oikawa asked as he turned his attention to his father.
"The Festival of Spirits will be held in Karasuno this year." His father answered.
"Karasuno…? Crows…?" Hoshi repeated as she tilted her head to the right. "Festival of Spirits…?" she added as she turned towards the other spirit on the room. "It's a festival to celebrate the glory and friendship between the mortals and spirits." Hisano explained with a smile and Hoshi nodded in understanding.
"This year you'll be attending and—"
"You want me to behave properly father?"
"What? No! I want you to win every competition possible."
Oikawa smirked. "Got it."
Oikawa polished his sword, it was late now and he was about to go to sleep but then he saw his spirit sitting on the balcony and staring at the full moon. He smiled, stood up and walked towards his spirit. "We should go to sleep." He stated and he saw Hoshi flinch indicating that she wasn't aware that he walked towards her. "I will soon…" Hoshi answered.
Oikawa leaned his back on the railing and placed his hands on it too, facing the opposite way. "Don't you wanna see the stars tonight, Tooru?" Hoshi asked still not looking at him. "I will soon…" he answered with a smile. "You're copying me," the small spirit replied and even without looking Oikawa could basically feel the pout on the spirits face.
"What are you thinking about?" Oikawa asked and he looked up, he felt calmness as he saw the starts. From afar it seems like the stars were blinking and as they do so they change their color. "Nothing…" Hoshi answered but he knew she was lying sometimes Oikawa gets annoyed with how Hoshi lies to him, he was her contractor therefore why would she lie about this things? Shouldn't they rely on each other? But he wouldn't dare push the spirit to tell him what's wrong because sometimes when Hoshi stares at the moon the expression on her face goes dark and as cowardly as it might sound he was scared to find out what's bothering her.
"How about you?" Hoshi asked in a tiny voice that if he didn't listened carefully he could have missed it. "What am I thinking?" Oikawa asked back and on the corner of his eye he saw Hoshi nod. "Can you guess?" he asked with a small smile. "You're thinking… why I never told you those things from earlier…" she answered with a voice that had no emotion on it. Oikawa dislike the idea of her being able to read his mind in a blink of an eye but on the other hand he couldn't but then again he was thankful that he couldn't.
"I'm sorry… you know sometimes I just want to tell you everything but I can't. There are rules that we need to follow." Hoshi answered as she looked down and stared at her hands.
Oikawa hated seeing her like this. He patted the spirits head, "it's okay… I understand but if you need to let something out I'm here okay?" he stated and when the spirit turned towards him, he smiled. "Rely on me, okay?"
Hoshi smiled, "I will… and if you also need someone to talk too, I would be here."
A/N: I FORGOT TO WRITE WHAT THEIR MANIFEST FORM LOOKED LIKE MY GHAD.
#Oikawa- basically a hot mess (like me #brick) his torso and above is exposed while waist down there's this white clothing covering it. His hair turns to a darker shade of red and his eyes will appear will appear as somewhat like a wolf with brown eyes. his chest has ancient tattoos on them (color red) that runs through chest towards both his arms. Oh and white wolf ears and a tail to match it up.
#Iwa- merman (#brick) his hair is the same but his eyes turns a deep shade of blue. He has blue scales on the side of face and body and gills on his ears. Waist up also exposed (his arms my ghad) and you know the down part of a guys kimono? Yeah that, with the same color as Hisano's kimono.
