Chapter 1: The Painting…..
"Let's go inside shall we?" the silverette guy approach the group.
"Good idea bro" the easy go lucky brunette said.
On the other hand there's a man and a dog in front of the shrine. The man is wearing a pea coat, a gray pants, black shoes and a beanie on his head while dog has fluffy fur, had a red eyes wearing a shirt with it nice wings also a red collar on his neck.
The man laid his head and closed his looks like his praying while the dog waiting for him patiently.
After 5 minutes he bowed and stood up then leaves the temple.
Inside the temple…..
"Now this is the painting where the gumiho who was struggled to become a human for hundreds of years is trapped there" started explaining the legendary tale while pointing the painting using his index fingers.
"And Three Gods was next to her. She has a lot of virtues. As you know she pairs the men and women then send the babies."
The group chuckled at the same time after hearing that explanation.
"How do you know about this Yu?" the brown haired in a two ponytail ask.
"I've been here since I was 10. I never expected that I am going to live here now" Yu said.
"She is the grandmother of that gumiho is a foxed spirit. She obeyed Three Gods grandmother." He continued his explanation.
"Sensei, you said it is a gumiho but why it doesn't have a tails? What happened?" the blonde boy ask him.
"Originally, she had nine tails" he answered.
"But what happen to her nine tails?" the raven hair girl ask.
"To her nine tails you mean? That happens it is a long story you shouldn't missed."
"She was incredibly pretty and that was the problem. The gumiho came down to our world and wanted to live as a human. But her unearthly beauty became a problem. The civil servants who needed to study stopped their writing and the farmers who needed to farm also stopped their planting. The merchants who needed to sell stopped working. They were all bewitched by the gumiho could do nothing at all. The women couldn't bear to see the men like that and went to the Three Gods Grandmother. She was also in a dilemma and she thought if she found a husband for a gumiho the problem would be solved. So she found a man to be the gumiho's husband but the women didn't want to give their sons as her husband. The women on the town spread a strange rumor's like 'Gumiho will appeared to eat only their livers to become a human' as they told all the men there because of that no one came at the temple to become her husband. So The Three Gods Grandmother decided to cut off her nine tails and trapped her in this painting so she could never come out in this world again"
"I feel sorry for the gumiho. She couldn't get a husband because of that stupid rumors about her. I want to teach them a lesson" as the girl kick through the air that group sweat dropped.
"Hey! Why don't you get your tails and come to take away Teddie? I mean you can be his husband" Rise giggled.
"That's awesome idea. The girls here are always rejecting me. How about you? Will you not reject me?" as his eyes spark.
"Not a great idea." They mumble in unison.
"Hey! What the hell happened to my lunchbox? Why it is emptied?" she groaned then look murderously at the three boys who immediately scared at her.
"No-no. We didn't do anything Chie-senpai" the bleach blonde said.
"Yeah-yeah! Me too" the blonde with a polo and a rose pin to his left pleading at her to show some mercy.
"Me three. But if you want some more beefstake we could stop at the Hakagure and buy something. M-my threat" he suggested nervously.
"Okay. Fine then" she smiled.
The tension surrounding was fade when he suggests that and the others thank him. If he didn't suggest it she will rant like a kung fu creepy maniac and we could receive some punches and kicks at Chie.
The group decided to leave when they feel something odd at the shrine. While on other hand…..
There was a girl at the temple wearing a white simple dress perfect to see her legs and a ballerina shoes. She holding a meat on her hand and bit it.
"Hmmm….That was so yummy" she munched.
When her mouth empty she sighed thinking something. "It's been ages. I never eat a delicious meat like this. I hope someone will free me at this temple" her eyes shows she's in agony and sadness.
The girl eats not minding the past for a while as she smiled.
At the dorm…
The guy at the pea coat entered to the dorm. Not minding people at the sofa or anyone. Those people look scared from his presence except from redhead girl and silverette guy. The silverette guy came to him.
"Shinji, do you know where Yu and his friends went?" he ask the pea coat guy.
"I think I've seen them at the shrine. Visiting that shit gumiho" he said with scowl on his face.
"Hey! Stop cussing the granddaughter of the Three Gods Grandmother. You know she can punish you for badmouthing her granddaughter"
"You too, Aki. You believe the hell shit legendary fox and that damn goddess" he said irritatingly.
Leave the guy that was Aki and go upstairs putting his hands at his pocket. He went to the vending machine and put a coin to the machine. He bend his knees down to get his soda and open it. He drinks it to clench his thirst and calmed down for a bit.
'People this days' he thought.
Evening…..
Shinji decided to leave the room to have some dinner at Hakagure but before he left the redhead girl come to him.
"Where are you going, Aragaki?"
"Yeah! Shinji, it's evening"
"I'm going out to have some dinner and walk at the shrine for a while. Better be going" he said with finality and he left.
Hakagure Restaurant…..
"1 special order please"
"Coming" the waitress said before she went to the counter.
After the cheff prepared his order in 20 minutes, the waitress put the order in front of his table and she bowed.
"Goodevening, Enjoy your food, mister" she wink at him and leave.
Not minding about the girl pestering him. He slurp his noodles and enjoy his dinner.
At The shrine…..
He is enjoying the air hitting his face. His expression was calm but he didn't that there is someone watching at the strange temple.
"Is that the man this morning praying here?" the strange girl thought.
"He is so handsome but I think what he looks like when he smiles. I never saw him smile and I wish. Maybe he does more handsome. Is he going inside here? OMG! What I am going to do? This is my chance" she smiled.
Shinji entered the temple of Three Gods Grandmother and kneeled in front of the temple to pray but he never noticed the strange girl watching him behind the wall.
After praying he decide to go back at the dorm when the temple was locked up. He tries to open the door but he failed.
"Damn it! I have to go back. Before midnight or else I'm dead with Mitsuru's execution. Hey! Open the door" he punched and kicked the door until his energy was wear out.
At the dorm…
"Hi! But sorry Shinjiro Aragaki is busy right away. Please leave a message after a beep." The voice on the phone said.
*toot* *toot* *toot* *toot* *toot* *toot*
"It is strange. Shinji never answering my calls what happened to him?" Akihiko said worriedly.
"Maybe senpai is in trouble again just like Kanji" the blonde said.
"Don't compared me with that idiot or else *pulling his collar shirt*" Kanji said as he ready to punch the blonde who has a big mouth.
"Ah! Ahm! I will shut up now" he sweats dropped.
He pulled down his collar.
"Don't worry about him. He never gone a fight will he? He knows the rules of the dorm. Just wait for him okay." Yosuke suggested.
"Yeah! He's right. I'm going to sleep. I'm beat" he yawned.
"Good night senpai's" the younger group greeted in unison.
"Yeah! Me too. Good night too. Senpai's" the boy at the cap, the girl wearing pink cardian sweater, the girl with the blue green hair said in unison.
While the two seniors left waiting for Shinjiro to come back.
After 1 hour….
"OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR" he yelled.
He kept yelling at the door for an hour until he sighed. "Gues, I'm spending the night and next morning I will face that damn execution's of her" he sit down and lean to the door.
He closed his eyes and drifting to his sleep when…
*Burn my dread*
*toot*
"Aki, I can't go home. I lock up from this damn-"before he could say anything there was a strange girl spoke.
"Can you hear my voice?"
"I can hear it well. Is this Mitsuru? Is this your new damn number?"
"Stop cussing" the strange voice warned you.
"What the hell do you care? Are You Mitsuru?" now he is yelling at his phone.
"Stop yelling too. Do you want me to help you go out in this temple?" asking him in her sweet voice at the phone.
"Hell yeah! If you're the one who lock me up here. Open the door. I'm not playing games here. I want to go back to my dorm if I'm not I'll be dead."
"Hey! I'm not the one who locked you up. I'm here to help you out" she said innocently.
"Just do everything I say, understand?" she said.
"Kay' fine" he said as he was defeated by this damn voice.
He looked at his phone but the screen was all black. That means his cellphone is dead but how the heck it is work.
'Oh! Shit' he feels there's something wrong.
"You're wearing a beanie and pea coat right. You are handsome" the voice said.
"Yeah! " He wonders how she'd know that because he has no video chat.
"I'm still watching you. Are you looking for me? But I'm afraid you can't find me." The voice spoke.
"Do you see the painting in front of you?" the female voice asked as he saw the painting.
"Hai!"
"Do you mean the painting of the Three Gods Mother and the gumiho?" he ask.
"Exactly." The voiced reply.
"What the hell do you want with this painting?"
"The gumiho in the drawing has no tails. So can you please draw the her nine tails?" she requested in a sweet voice.
"WHAT? Do you want me to draw the nine tails to the fox? Do you want me to get arrest because of this?" he ask with a growled followed by a bad mouthing.
"Just do it. I will help you. Quick" she said.
"Fine then. I'm not afraid to be caught by that damn cops. So I'll do it" he took his pen at his pocket and started to draw the nine tails at the fox.
"Then don't worry about it and draw." She said.
"Fine." He said with finality.
After he draw the nine tails as the strange female voice said. The door open widely as the air breeze went violently. The rain fell down.
"Great it's raining. I have to go back."
Shinji came out from the temple and running to the road. The girl at temple standing as her red eyes turned into blue.
*screech*
The guy hit and run by a track. His body was pooled by his blood when the beautiful girl appeared then kneeled in front of him.
"OMG! What did I've done?" she was shock as she saw the guy laying down at the road.
"But don't worry, I won't let you die you help me. You free me from the temple. Now it's time to help you. If I save him he'll be very useful" she touched her lips to his.
The blue bead came out her mouth and transferred it to Shinji. Unknown to him because of his unconsciousness he was saved by the girl he helped out to the temple. That is the spirited fox which is Gumiho. Her nine tail appeared while transferring her precious bead.
