Thanks for the review.
Summary
Onoda Sakamichi was sick as a child and couldn`t do things most kids could do. All he had was his childhood friend who was always there for him. 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 4 - Kanzaki Tooji
When Onoda had arrived to the inn the night before. The three tengu were already looking outside at the dark sky that had appeared.
"Everybody." Onoda spoke up. Manami turned around and saw Onoda. He was glad that the boy returned back. He was worried something would happen. "I'm glad you're back." The other two was glad as well that the boy was safe and sound.
"This place is dangerous." Manami said.
"Bu-" Onoda started to say.
"But even so you want to stay, right." Manami smiled. He knew that he couldn't change Onoda's mind when he liked a place. If Onoda runs into trouble that would mean that he just had to be there for him when that time came.
"Sangaku!" Onoda ran and hugged Manami. He had a smile on his face. "Thank you."
"Sakamichi, be careful when you go out." Maki said.
"I will!"
"Sakamichi-chan is there a reason why you wanted to stay here. Not just because you like the place." Toudou read Onoda well, he knew what he was talking about.
"There's another reason." Maki and Manami both looked surprised.
"What's the reason?" Maki asked.
"There somebody in this town that mother said would help us if we ever ran into some kind of trouble." Onoda said.
"You don't mean." The three tengu couldn't believe it. The one person that used to live with them was in this very place. The powerful fox-demon. He was way older then the four of them and was like an older brother to them. He refused to stay in their village and so he left and nobody knew where he was.
"How did your mother know he was here?" Manami asked.
"Mother mention that father had kept an eye on him."
"It's not surprising since it's your father." Toudou said.
"Does that mean Miki's here with him?"
"I don't think so since she had said she didn't want anything to do with her brother's work." Onoda recalled the last time that he saw Miki.
"I don't want to stay here anymore." Miki said. The two were sitting in the backyard, looking at the night sky one evening the stars were shining like any other night.
"You're planning to leave like your brother?" Onoda asked.
"I'm leaving but I'm not going to do what my brother did. I like it here but I feel like I won't learn anything and what my brother did I will never forgive."
"Miki."
"He left us…me without a word where he was going. I will never forgive him for that."
"When will you leave?" Onoda asked.
"I will leave once I'm finished with my studies. Onoda, what about you?"
"Me?" Onoda pointed at himself in confusion.
"Are you going to keep on staying here?" She asked.
"You should know that my body is very weak and that if I even set a foot outside I will get sick."
"I know but I'm sure that even you can do something about that." She smiled.
"Sakamichi." Manami spoke up making Onoda shake off his train of thoughts.
"They probably think that we died back in the village."
"Probably since people do still talk about the events that happened that day." Maki said.
What Makishima said was right, even if Onoda didn't want to hear it. He would hear it around in town or anywhere, there were talks but the people didn't know that Onoda and the three were from the same village that was destroyed.
"Will Tooji even see us?" Toudou said.
"He probably already knows that we are here." Manami knew that Tooji had powers like no others. He could tell just from a look when danger would befall them and so Manami felt the same way now.
Knock Knock
There was knock on their door.
"Yes." Maki spoke.
"Kanzaki-san is here to see you four."
"Speak of the devil." Manami couldn't believe the person they were just talking about was already here and found them without them searching for the man.
The man named Kanzaki Tooji walked in the room. Black-hair and a stick in his mouth, the guy hadn't change at all.
"Tooji!" All four said in union.
"I didn't think you four were still alive." Tooji said. "I heard about the accident at the village. I thought that everybody were dead but I'm glad your four are okay." Tooji then turned to Onoda and saw something was wrong.
"Why do you still look the same as when I left?"
"It's a long story." Onoda said.
"I got nothing better to do so go on." Tooji sat down and Onoda started his story and how everything happened in the village including the lives that were lost.
"I should have stayed in the village." Tooji felt regret.
"It wasn't your fault."
"I know but if I were there at the time I could do something about it." Suddenly something clicked in Tooji's head. "What about Miki?" He looked worried.
"She left the village before the accident happened."
"Thank god that she's okay. But where did she go."
"Don't know but she's really mad at you?"
"Of course she is. But I can't change it but I will need to look for her while doing some work. Anyway if you need anything from me just ask."
"Thanks Tooji." Tooji is like a big brother to them but he's a bit lazy when it comes to work. That is one thing that they all remember of the adult.
"To think Sakamichi is supposed to be twenty-two." He couldn't believe this short boy hasn't aged for some time now.
"At least his health is fine now."
"Tooji, why not stay for dinner?" Maki asked polity.
"I would but I have work to finish and if I don't he is going to kill me."
"He?"
"And I'm supposed to be the older one." Tooji sighed. He got up and waved goodbye to the four and head his way out.
The next morning Onoda had gone out again but this time Manami was with him. They walked around for a bit but Manami stopped making Onoda stop as well.
"Is something the matter?" Onoda asked.
"Since we are staying here for a bit I like to help out."
"Help out?"
"I'm going to see Tooji and see if I can do some work for him."
"That's boring."
"You should do some to. It's better than doing anything at all."
"I am doing stuff." He smiled. I'm exploring the place bit by bit."
"How cheeky?" Manami looked at Onoda and realize he wasn't going to get Onoda to work but it didn't matter since he liked it when Onoda looked so free. "I'll see you later then." Onoda looked at Manami with a confusion look on his face.
"What?" Manami asked.
"It's strange since you used to always not want me alone."
"Well. Since Tooji is around this place it's a safe place for now." He said and walked away leaving Onoda alone.
Onoda continue to walk alone town. He wasn't playing attention as usual since he was looking into the shop and drooling more the nice smell of food.
"Ouch!" Onoda yelled as he bump into somebody. He looked up and saw the same police officer from before.
"If it isn't the shrimp?"
"I'm not a shrimp!" Onoda yelled.
"My bad." He said with a smirk. The police officer wasn't sorry at all.
"What are you doing here?" Onoda asked.
"Looking for anybody suspicion." Teshima said.
"Suspicion?" Onoda repeated the words.
"Yea. So if you see anybody suspicion let the police know."
"I see one." Onoda said.
"Really? Who?" Teshima asked.
"You." Onoda pointed.
"HAHA!" Aoyagi saw the whole thing and started laughing his butt off.
"Hajime!" Teshima glared.
"Sorry but I can't help it. This brat is pretty funny."
"I'm not a brat." Onoda said annoyed.
"I'm sorry." Aoyagi said while still laughing his guts off. "Junta, you should maybe get a haircut since you do look suspicion."
"A haircut. Do I really look that bad?"
"Yea." Both Onoda and Aoyagi said in union.
"Whatever." Teshima said in annoyed tone.
"Looks like today is going to be a good day out." Aoyagi smiled looking up at the sky.
"Good day."
"Yea. Since the sky looked horrible yesterday." He said.
"That's true."
Onoda wonder what made the sky like that. It was dark and the cloud didn't even look like clouds anymore.
"Hey, there something that I want to ask you two since you two are police officers?" Onoda started.
"What is it?" Teshima said still annoyed. Onoda turned away from Teshima and turned to the kind Aoyagi since Teshima was being mean.
"What is it?" Aoyagi asked.
"There's a childhood friend of mine that I'm looking for and I was wondering if you two can help find her for us."
"Us?" both said in union.
"Yes. My other friends and me."
"What's her name?" Aoyagi asked.
"Kanzaki Miki."
"Kanzaki?" Both yelled.
"Taken your reaction you me Tooji."
"Yea. Is Kanzaki Miki related to him or something?"
"Yea. Miki is Tooji's little sister."
"Makes sense." Teshima said. "I didn't think that Kanzaki-san had a little sister."
"So are you close to Kanzaki-san?" Aoyagi asked.
"Well I did grow up with him." Onoda said.
"Does Kanzaki-san know about this?"
"About what?" Onoda asked.
"About looking for his sister."
"Not really. He said he was busy so I'm sure he doesn't have time to search so I thought I would start but I wouldn't know where she would be so that's why I asked you two."
"We'll check around but we can't say that we will find her." Teshima said.
"That's fine. You don't even need to bring her. Just want to know if she's doing alright." Onoda smiled.
"We'll do what we can." Aoyagi said.
"Miki I hope you're doing alright on your own."
