That was until a accident happens and Manami Sangaku regrets not being able to save him in time. Onoda then wakes up with no memories about anybody but then something horrible happens making Onoda get some powerful power.
Chapter 2 : Town
After the events that had happened the four had made a small cabin where they would together, they wouldn't live there long but for the time being they needed somewhere to stay and Manami didn't want Onoda to sleep outside in the cold.
"Where is Sakamichi?" The white-winged tengu had been looking for his childhood friend for a while but couldn't find him anywhere. The boy had done this often, going off on his own which Minami didn't like it very much.
Manami flew to see where the boy could be. He always does things that upset Manami, he might be able to live but who knows how long that curse would last. When Manami found out about Onoda's curse he swore that he would break it and make Onoda like a normal boy again, one way or another.
Manami then spotted a boy and he knew there was just one boy who had left his glasses on the side of the river while he went inside the water.
"Sakamichi." Manami charged in saw his child friend was doing something crazy again.
"Sangaku." Onoda didn't think that Manami would find him so fast. "I didn't expect to see you so soon." Onoda tried to laugh it off, like nothing was wrong with him in the water.
"I told you many times not to go off on your own." Manami let out a sigh and helped the shorter boy from the water.
Once they got back to the cabin where everybody was he dried the boy hair up and helped him change into a fresh new clothes.
"Next time you go somewhere ask me." Manami said.
"But every time I want to go somewhere you say that it's too dangerous."
"He's right." The other two said in union.
"Shut up!" Manami glared at the older Tengus.
"You know how much I worry about."
"I know." Onoda smiled at Manami. "I'm not going anywhere so stop worry."
"It's hard not to worry." Manami sighed.
"You know we can't keep staying here." Maki said looking at what looked like a map. He was the smart one of the group so he always thought where they should go.
"What's the plan?" Toudou asked looking over Maki.
"We stand out too much if we stay in the forest."
"Not to mention that we are tengus."
"Why don't we live with the humans?" Onoda suggested. The older tengus looked at Manami to see what he thought about the idea.
"Sangaku." Onoda said.
"Alright."
"This means that we got to hide our wings." Toudou didn't like that idea but they didn't have a choice if they wanted to protect Onoda. Being human was the only way to keep watch on their half-human friend.
The next day they arrived at a nearby town. Makishima being the smart one he manage to find a inn for them to stay in without paying of course.
"How you manage to get us in this kind of place?" Toudou asked.
"I have my ways." Makishima smirked. Onoda and Manami looked at their smart friend and image what he did to get them a nice inn with a big room to fit both of them.
"You seduced both the men and woman didn't you!" Toudou pointed at Maki in disgrace.
"I did not!" Makishima yelled back at his winged friend. Both Onoda and Manami was used to all of this since they did argue a lot about the stupidest things ever.
When Onoda looked at the three, it was strange seeing them without their wings. Onoda was used to see them with wings all the time, this time was the first time in Onoda's life that he has seen them without wings, and they looked like normal human beings.
"Can we explore the town?" Onoda asked.
"I'll go with you."
"It's not dangerous since we are in town!" Onoda yelled as he rushed out the room before Manami could even go with the black-haired teen.
"He's right." Makishima said putting his hand on Manami's shoulder to assure the tengu that no harm would come the boy and even if he was in dangerous they would sense it.
"You worry way too much." Toudou pointed it out.
"I can't help it since he almost died again."
"Stop acting all depressing and go out." Toudou order his younger friend. Manami did as he was told and explore the town as well. As he was doing, he was also looking for Onoda.
The town they were in was lively. People were very friendly to one another and this town reminded Manami of their own home but peacefulness wouldn't last long when evil is still around without people noticing it.
"Human are so naïve." That was just like how he felt what Onoda's mother was since she is human. The lord wasn't around to protect her from the dangerous and she wasn't able to sense the dangerous that befall her only son.
"Human are worthless."
Manami didn't want any dangerous to befall Onoda again. He promised him when they were kids that he would always protect him but Onoda took as a joke, saying he could protect himself but he couldn't.
"Are you new here?" A lady had approached Manami.
"Yes." Manami smiled. To be honest Manami hated interacting with humans beside Onoda, who was a half-human. Manami gave the lady one of his fake smiles.
"Here have an apple to welcome you." She smiled.
"Did you come alone?" She asked.
"I came with my family." Manami said.
"Why is she asking so much question?"
"I hope you enjoy your stay in our little town." She smiled and walked away. While Manami walked around town, he noticed how all the people asked him the same thing, also it annoyed Manami to death.
"I need to find Sakamichi." Manami walked to the direction where he could smell Onoda's scent. The bluet could never forgot Onoda's scent. It was a relaxing and nice smell, it always made Manami happy.
As Manami walked closer he stopped when he saw Onoda crouching down and looking at what was a small pond that had fishes swimming in it. Onoda was looking in the pond with such curious eyes. Onoda was always curious as a child so Manami couldn't help but smile as such a sight.
"Are you done exploring?" Manami asked crouching beside his friend.
"I guess." Onoda smiled.
"This pond reminds me you." Manami didn't understand how it could remind the boy of him, the water was nothing like him.
"How does it remind you of me?"
"You always been watching me with crystal clear eyes." Onoda smiled.
When the two returned to their inn they found that Toudou and Makishima had ordered dinner for them to eat. The food felt fresh when Onoda took a bite but the other three didn't notice.
"This town is safe so I think we should stay here for a while." Makishima said. I looked into everything in this town and no harm would come."
"I'm glad to hear good news." Manami said.
Manami and the two tengus noticed that Onoda had stopped eating and stared at the short boy to see what was wrong.
"Is something the matter?" Manami asked.
"I was just thinking if we can ever go back home one day." All three had that sad look on their face. It was hard to tell if they could ever go back home. Their home was destroyed and they were the only survivors that manage escape that horrible tragically.
"For now we have to find a way to live life without any worries." Makishima said breaking the silence
"This town is a place I like to live but there something fishy." Toudou said.
"I know what you mean." Makishima knew that nothing bad was going around but there was something stuck in his mind that he just couldn't figure it out.
"Like what?"
"I don't know."
"I asked you since you said so." Manami felt annoyed with Toudou's commons.
Onoda had gone into town again alone. He wanted to know more about the town so he wouldn't get lost since he would be living here for some time. As Onoda was walking around town he heard some yelling then somebody taller than him bump into him.
"Owie." Onoda rubbed his forehead when he was hit by the taller guy's arm by accident. Onoda's glasses had also fell off, but it's not like he wasn't able to see.
"Sorry about that little guy." Those words struck a nerve in Onoda.
"I'm not little!" Onoda yelled. The guy he bump into didn't look that much older than he was.
"The answer is no!" It looked like the guy was kicked out from his home from the way the man shoved him outside.
"Stupid Aniki!" The guy yelled. Onoda watched the whole scene.
"You're still here."
"Well I'm hurt so treat me to something." The other didn't even have time to decline, since it was his fault that Onoda was injured.
"I'm Shinkai Yuuto." The guy introduced himself. They had arrived at some restaurant and started eating. "And you are."
"Onoda Sakamichi." Onoda said stuffing his mouth with food.
"You're not around here, are you?"
"You can tell."
"I know the people around this town."
"Did you get kick out of your home or something?"
"You really don't mind your own business do you?"
"I hear that a lot." Onoda laughed.
"It isn't something for you to laugh about." Yuuto sighed. This new guy he met was kind of annoying acting like they were already friends or something like that.
"Won't you parents be worried that you're here?"
"Toudou and Makishima don't mind but I'm more worried about what Sangaku would do to me." Even so Onoda said that he still laughed it off like nothing was wrong.
"Are they you're parents and brother or something like that?"
"I guess you could call Yusuke my mother and Jinpachi my father but what is Sangaku, maybe my brother."
Yuuto was getting confused with the boy's blabbing.
Onoda then felt an angry aura coming closer.
"I have to go, you see the brother is going to kill me if I don't return home." Onoda got up and waved goodbye to his new friend and rushed out the restaurant leaving Yuuto alone.
"Here's the bill." A waitress came handing Yuuto the receipt for the food. Yuuto couldn't believe how much it was.
"That kid sure can eat a lot of a little guy."
"There goes my paycheck for this week." Yuuto sighed.
"Hayato, you should do something about your brother?" Shinkai Hayato looked at Arakita Yasutomo his close friend. Arakita was the one who had kicked Shinka's younger brother out the house for disturbing their meeting.
"Even if I asked, he wouldn't listen to me." Hayato said.
"You guys are so different, I don't understand how you guys are brothers."
"I know." Hayato replied. Shinkai then looked at the window and looked up at the blue sky. "The air feels strange."
"I feel it too, is something going around town?"
"It's not that but I feel that we have some uninvited guests."
"You want me to take care of them."
"No need since they haven't done anything yet, if they cross that line then I will need to take action."
"You made somebody pay for you." Manami couldn't believe this. On the other hand Toudou and Makishima was laughing.
"It was his fault for bumping into me." Onoda then pointed to his head where he got hit. Manami saw that Onoda was telling the truth. "By the way Yuuto-kun asked about my family."
"Is that the guy who you made pay?" Manami asked.
"Yep." And I told him Yusuke is my mother and Jinpachi is my father, also that Sangaku is like a brother."
"Well that does seem like it." Toudou said.
"Why the hell am I the mother?" Makishima wasn't happy to be called the mother. Shouldn't it be Toudou since he's shorter than he is?
"Don't feel bad Maki-chan?" Toudou gave a smirk annoying the hell out of Makishima.
"I guess I am like your brother." Manami smiled.
