Nanami's POV:
2 weeks have passed of my new, apparently immortal life as a cat demon. Master Mikage hasn't returned from his trip to town and Tomoe has been sulking inside his room since. While I'm being bossed around by the occasional note passed on by the wisps. I do everything for the shrine now, even the cooking which I'm terrible at.
I'd only just finished the laundry when there was as sudden knock at the shrine. Ugh. I'd only just figured out how to shape shift and now I was being but to work as the doorman. I quickly thought of the form of an old woman. I looked down at my hands, wrinkled and frail. I'm really getting the hang of this. As I walked to the door, I patted my head. The ears were gone, I smiled it's nice to feel human. Suddenly my smile was put on hold as someone grabbed my wrist. I turned to see Tomoe. His eyes violent and focused on the door.
"Mikage's back, he's going to get an earful" He shoved past me angrily. Ugh all that effort put into shapeshifting. My new form faded and I felt my tail swing around my legs again. Tomoe suddenly ripped open the door, hissing in a demonic frenzy. Oh no.
"Tomoe stop !" I screamed jumping after him.
Natsu's POV
It's been 5 weeks since I've been living on the streets. My name is Natsu Fujioko, I'm a male student at the local highschool. I'm 16 years old and most likely the thinnest person in town. I've been kicked out of my house due to the death of my mom. After the accident I had a hard time accepting her death, I didn't go to school or work and eventually everything just crumbled. I'm sleeping in the park when suddenly this guy with glasses and a trench cloak runs in the middle of the park. At first I thought he was crazy, but then running behind him was the cause of his panic induced sprint. A chinese crested? The small dog was just jogging in the park and this guy is in a state of terror. I climb of my bench and scoop up the dog in my arms. I walk down the path and quickly find it's owner. As I walk back to my bench, the dude with glasses is already sitting there.
"Thankyou so much young man" He cheered as he sprang up, taking my hand.
"It's okay man" I smiled as I released his hand.
"Why you like this bench don't you?" He smiled.
"Not really but It's home for now" I sighed as I sat down reaching for one of my remaining rice balls.
"Hmmm care to tell me what happened?" The guy said his once smiley face had faded to that of concern. He sat beside me on the bench. I guess he's not going to leave till I tell him. An hour later after I told him the tragedy that is my life. He just sat there emotionless. He stared at the sky as if he was contemplating a decision that may be risky. He then sighed turning to me.
"Natsu, I'm going to give you a great gift although sometimes it can be a burden" He smiled again. This time a smile of reminiscence. "It'll mean a roof over head for free as well as food" He nudged my shoulder. He knew how hungry I was.
"How do I know this isn't some kind of scam, you could be one of those creepy old dude who pray on kids" I accused. I knew I was naturally suspicious but did I cross a line? I looked down at the guy worried but instead a smile still shone from his face.
"Well if you change your mind, It's the shrine on top of the hill" He suddenly planted a kiss on my forehead "Tell Tomoe and Namami that Mikage sent you" He turned and strode off. I blinked and he was gone.
What the hell just happened? I looked to the hill, there is an old shrine there. What have I got to lose I'm already poor and homeless.
I walked for what felt like forever when finally I reached the shrine. It looked better from when I last came here with mom. It looked as if someone was attempting to clear the decades of dust blanketing it. I steadily walked towards the door, lights were on inside. Someone lives here? Oh right Tomoe and Na-somthing. I reluctantly knocked on the door. Ugh this is a scam.
I waited for a minute when suddenly the door ripped open with blue flames glittering the splinters. A man suddenly sprang for my throat.
"Tomoe stop!" A girl screamed. I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain. There was nothing except heavy breathing on my face. I opened my eyes to see a confused face. The confused face belonged to a guy with silver hair and disturbed violet eye. Fangs bloomed from his lips. What? Suddenly I realised the ear and tail sprouting from his annoyingly perfect body. What is he?
"Tomoe, leave him alone" Commanded a female voice "He's obviously not Mikage" I followed the voice to a girl. A stunningly beautiful girl with the strangest and most intriguing eyes I've ever in countered. She also had animal features. Ears and a cat tail. They were both dressed in traditional kimonos. They looked as if they were gods.
"Damn, I wanted to rip Master to shreds" Tomoe hissed under his breath as he pulled away from me. "Anyway Halfling shouldn't you be cooking" He shouted at the girl.
"Tomoe, I swear if you order me around one more time..." She growled back. Suddenly her attention turned to me. "Tomoe, he has a mark on his forehead" She whispered, ears flickered from both individuals.
"What?" Tomoe said turning to me, grabbing my cheeks between his large powerful hand. His eyes widened in both anger and relief. "Halfling, according to this mark. This boy is our new master" He turned slowly walking back into the shrine. The girl, who I guess was Nanami, seemed to show a slight bit of confusion.
"Tomoe what does that mean for us?" She called after him in a surprisingly innocent voice. "Shouldn't we get our new master comfortable?" She turned. Tomoe was suddenly standing inches away from her face. She jumped and her ears folded down in fear.
"He is not our master, we only serve Mikage" He whispered harshly. He continued his saddened walk back into the shrine.
"Well I'm going to talk with Tomoe" Nanami smiled at me. "I'll call the whisps, they'll show you to your room" Nanami then strode off into door of the shrine. Her tail flicking violently after her.
Before long I realised I was sat in the dirt. Ugh yeah just like you Natsu. I quickly got up, for some reason I didn't want to look pathetic in front of these two.
"Land god?" I heard I small voice, nobody was here. Suddenly there was a tug on my jeans. What the hell. Two small creatures were standing by my feet. I knew I was pretty tall standing a 5'11 but they were too small to be midgets.
"I'm Onikiri and this is Kotetsu" The small creature said with a black and white mask "Do you have any luggage that we could take to your room?"
"Ummm my bag?" I said holding up my small dragonball rucsack that I'd had since I was five. The small creatures, the whisps? Did Namami say? Seemed happy to help and they both carried my bag. Leading me inside my new home.
A description of Natsu Fujioko: He is 5'11, he is a Japanese/british citizen. His dad was british and died when Natsu's mother was pregnant. And Natsu's mum died a couple months ago. He has ash blonde hair and mossy green eyes. He is very shy at school and that is mostly why he hasn't got friends and why the girls aren't really intrested in him. I'm thinking of him developing a crush on Nanami and creating a love triangle ? What do you think ? Please review :))
