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 3 - Lurking
Onoda and Manami were walking around town since they decided to stay for the time being, they thought it would be nice to know everything but Manami wasn't really interest in such things. He wished they just left since the tengu didn't like being near humans.
"You're giving that look again." Onoda sighed. He knew how Manami hated humans. Sometimes Onoda wished there was a way to make the white-tengu realize not all humans are bad but Manami only saw them as enemies.
"Can we just go home?"
"Just one more stop." The two walked into a small shop. Onoda remembered that Maki told him to bring some dango to eat that Maki started to love.
"You can wait outside." Onoda said.
"It's fine." Manami didn't want to leave Onoda alone so he went inside with the black-haired boy. Onoda ordered the dango and the shop owner put them in a bag. Onoda took it and thanked the shop owner and the two left.
Once they returned to the inn they were staying at Onoda handed the dango to Maki who couldn't wait to eat it when he laid eyes on the bag.
"Thank you." He said.
Knock Knock
The door to the room they were staying at opened and an owner of the inn stood there with a smile on her face.
"How are you liking your stay?" She asked. The owner was a friendly person and it reminded Onoda of her mother with that smile on her face. She came by often to see how they are doing to Manami's disappointment.
"We are doing just fine." Onoda answered back with a smile. Onoda then saw that the owner was holding a tray in her hands.
"These are for you boys." She said and placed it on the table in the middle. "Well I have go back to work." With that said the lady walked out the room closing the door behind once she left.
"She sure is nice." Onoda took his hand and took a bite of the sweets that the lady had brought them. His mouth was filled with sweetness. He was happy to get something for free. Manami on the other hand wasn't so kneel as to be pleased by somebody like her since he hates humans.
"Sangaku don't do that." Onoda didn't like the expression on his best friend's face. Sometimes he wish the white-winged tengu would just lighten up and have some fun.
"He's stop showing that scary face!" Even Toudou couldn't stay that look that Manami had.
"Don't get too attached to humans since they might end up betraying us all again?" Manami said with a serious tone. Of course they couldn't forget about the past but that didn't mean that all humans for the same as those ones that betrayed them long time ago.
"Calm down." Makishima was the next to speak. He then took a bite of the sweets that the lady had brought. He didn't want to say anything to darken the mood. Makishima sat beside Onoda and enjoyed the sweets.
Later that afternoon some police man had arrived. Inspecting the inn that's when they spotted the three new comers. Onoda felt nervous but Manami stayed calm and held his best friend near him.
"It's going to be okay." He whispered. Onoda didn't like get looked at by police man since they always asked one too many questions that always gave him a headache like when his father died. But there one officers that seemed different. He didn't seem interest in such details about them, he just looked around and wonder when they would finish.
"Are you guys done yet if not I'll take a nap over there?" The officer pointed at one of the couch in the room. "
"We're done!" The guy who seemed to be under him said. The officer looked upset, he didn't understand how the lazy guy became an officer.
The officers left the room and started inspecting the rest before leaving the room. When that lazy officer came in their room Onoda felt a strange feeling, he didn't understand it, and it wasn't fear but something more.
"Is something wrong?" Manami asked.
"It's nothing."
Onoda couldn't stop thinking about that officer the whole day. He started to get bored of staying inside and wanted to get out. Manami wasn't pushy as before so Onoda could go out alone.
"Sangaku I'll going out for some air." He said. Manami didn't seem to care since the white-winged tengu was laying on the floor, he looked tired, and his wings covered his whole body like protecting from somebody.
"I'll take that as a yes." Onoda headed out, it was a beautiful day out, and the sun of shinning bright and Onoda loved weather likes these.
As Onoda was walking around the village he realize that they were a lot of officers roaming around. It looked like they were searching for someone or something.
"Is this place in danger too?" Onoda knew the things Manami always said was true that not all place can be peaceful. He recalled his home, their home that they grew up in. It was peaceful until the day it was attacked.
That time he couldn't do anything because he was sick. His father had died in battle and he couldn't do anything to help him since he had that horrible illness. Onoda was better now but he wouldn't age like a normal child would anymore.
"Did I chose the right path?"
"Aren't you the boy from yesterday?" The lazy police officer appear out of nowhere. Onoda didn't even notice him at all. Now that Onoda had a closer look at the man he didn't look that old. He had wavy hair black hair that was tied in a ponytail. He was wearing like many officers wore those uniforms to tell them apart from regular people.
"I'm Onoda Sakamichi." Onoda introduced himself with smile.
"I guess I should do the same." He said scratching his head. "I'm Teshima Junta. I'm supposed to meet my panther but he's late."
Onoda just stared at the guy.
"You shouldn't be here since it's dangerous." He said.
"Dangerous, why?" Onoda asked.
"Didn't you hear that some beast been running around killing people so people should stay inside."
"Some Beast?" Onoda couldn't stay away when something was telling him to do something and he is sure that Manami would kill him later but right now he wanted to know about it.
"So shrimp you should stay home."
"I'm not a shrimp!" Onoda didn't like that comment. Well he's small and stuff right now looking like a thirteen year old boy but actually he is older than that and being called a shrimp pissed him off.
"Sorry." Teshima saw the glaring from the small boy.
"Look like I said something I wasn't suppose." Teshima found this boy different from most kids. He didn't get scared and run home like many if told some scary beast was on the loose. The boy just stayed put and listen to everything he had to say.
"He's not here yet and I'm tired." Teshima let out a yawn. If his panther didn't show up he was going to end up going home and have a nice long nap, he didn't care if his friend got angry since it would be his fault for being late.
"Junta." Just then his panther showed up.
"You have bad timing." He said.
"What?" His panther asked in confusion then he looked at the boy with Teshima. "Who's this?"
"Hajime, this here is Onoda Sakamichi and he's new in this village." Onoda could see the guy was same age as Teshima, brown hair and his hair cover his one eye.
"I see." Aoyagi said while staring at the boy. And of course Onoda felt that same feeling with this guy as well. "I'm Aoyagi Hajime."
Suddenly the cloud started to get dark and it wasn't even just the darkness of the cloud. The cloud had a hint of purple in them and Onoda had a bad feeling. He saw those kind of clouds before.
"I have to go." Onoda said as he started running toward the inn. He had to inform Manami and the others. Manami was right there is always danger lurking around somewhere.
