Chapter 5 -
Natsume looked at his reflection in the water as he heard a voice in his head say "Run away this isn't you."
He grabbed his head as he whispered shut up to himself, but it just continued to speak to him "Natsume you must leave before he traps you forever."
Natsume just got up from where he was standing and began to walk towards the door as his subconscious mind took over. He couldn't block the voices out as he opened the door and began to walk to where the voices guided his body.
He saw an orange haired man and a small cat waiting at the end of the road he had now found himself on; when he looked he remembered them from the forest the day before. When he was standing in front of them he saw the orange haired man blush "Um.. Natsume what are you wearing and why is your hair like that."
He didn't understand who this man was, but his arms went out for the cat as he took him from the older man and hugged him then looked back up and said "Um who exactly are you too."
Natori grabbed his wrist and looked at the paper around it "Not again really, Natsume what do you mean who are you."
Natsume looked at them both "I don't know who you 2 are."
Madara changed in to his big form and Natori pulled Natsume in to his arms as he climbed on "What are you doing, I have to go back to the house before he notices that I'm gone."
Natsume felt a sharp pang run through his entire body as he almost passed out from the sheer pain, He grabbed on to Natori's arms as he tried to make it through the pain. He looked up "In pain, Lets go back.. It hurts."
Natsume moved slightly as he slipped from Natori's grip and began to fall to the ground. Right when he was about to hit the ground he felt his body get caught by something when he opened his eyes he saw the large paper youkai, which made him scream as he fell again to be caught by the only familiar face there he whispered "Matoba" as he passed out from the pain finally subsiding. Madara dived as Natori reached for Natsume but they were too late and Matoba was way too strong for them.
