Chapter III: "Invisible Strings"

-Nanami's POV-

We are all prepared to head at the capital Onikiri amd Kotetsu were incharge of guarding the shrine also I put barriers all around the shrine uaing my talismans, It's already been 12yrs since Mikage-san adopted me.. Also been 12yrs since my parents died.. Mikage-san trained me to use talismans when I'm 7yrs old and now I'm already 17yrs old.. And Mikage-san disappeared when I'm 10yrs old after making me the Mikage shrine's God.. I'm confident with my skills now ofcourse I'm the Land God for 7yrs already~ and not that I'm boasting but I became pretty popular even on the other Gods *giggles* "Nanami-chan? why are you giggling by yourself?" Mizuki asked "O-oh nothing~ I just remembered something *giggles*" "We're already here.." Kurama said with a serious face, then their flying carriage land safely on the center of the capital "Wow~ this place never failed to amaze me whenever I come here" Nanami said while walking down the carriage (AN: She's wearing an orange kimono with cherry blossoms design also she has a small pouch where her talismans are)

"Hello Land God-sama!" the peoples greeted me with smiles on their face "Hello everyone! Take care of yourselves okay?" I greeted them back with a reassuring smile "Oh~ so the Land God-sama is already here~ Well I'll guide you into your temporary shelter for your mission" an old woman offered us.. So we (AN:Kurama, Mizuki, Mamoru and Nanami are altogether) followed her into a simple small house in a high land at the outskirts of the town "Here it is Land God-sama.. I was commanded that your place should be able to look over the town and not an attention seeker house.. *bow* If you'll excuse me Land God-sama" then the old woman leave "Yosh! let's start unpacking our things and start cleaning!" I smiled at the two gentlemens beside me "Roger that!" Mizuki replied excitedly "Hmmn.. I think I can't refuse in My Nanami's request~" Kurama answered with a suave pose as always. haha.. And so we start cleaning and unpacking so we can still rest before our mission starts at night "Nanami-chan~ what do want to eat before we leave?" Mizuki asked me "Hmmmn.. Beef curry?" I smiled at Mizuki "Roger that!" then he starts to cook at the kitchen, while kurama is on the roof monitoring the town "Hmmn.. maybe I should take a bath first" I,told myself "Mizuki I'll just take a bath 'kay.."

I sighed as I soaked into the hot bath.. "I wonder why those yokais love killing others.." I talked to myself sadly.. so I bathed and put a new fresh kimono on (AN: A green kimono with koi fish designs) "Food's ready Nanami-chan~!" "I'm coming!" I brushed my hair and kissed mmy shikigami egg before leaving my room (AN: the egg is placed beside her bed on top of a pillow) As we finished oyr food the sun now starts to set and the time comes near.. K walked out the house looking at the town.. there's no peoples and it's silent only the whisting wind can be heard "Let's go.." I said with a serious face I get my pouch full of my talismans "Nanami don't leave your shikigami egg.. It might help you too.." Kurama suggested with a slight smile "Hai.." So I covered the egg with handkerchief and put it on my pouch.. Mizuki transformed into a big white snake for me to ride and Kurama takes his black wings out.. As we soar through the night we saw some other Gods monitoring the town too.. then we heard a loud scream "N-noooo! Please! D-don't hurt me!" a tanuki is cornered by 5 wild yokais eyes red and drooling like a hungry wolf "Mizuki!" I commanded him as we drew closer the female tanuki I throw a "Barrier" talisman in the solid floor in front of the girl (AN: The word with "" is the word written on the talisman) I jumped in front of the girl "Daijoubu.. we'll protect you" I glanced at her with a sweet smile "Mamoru! don't leave this girl" "Ki ki ki!" Mamoru jumps down my shoulder and stand beside the girl.. Mizuki and Kurama fights with the yokais.. I run on one yokai and called him "Hey! I'm a delicious meat want some?" I shouted as he starts chasing me I hide between the barrels and as the yokai can't see me I stick a "Purify" talisman on his back "Be gone.." making him collapse

-Normal POV- "Nanami!" she I looked back another yokai was at her back and going to scratch my face but she dodged it by lifting backwards "Tch.. sneaky devil.." I two drew a small daggers from my legs and perpared with my fighting stance (AN: her stance was her right hand were like holding a katana and her left hand just on her side) "Come.." Nanami glared at the yokai seriously "graaaaah!" then it attacked Nanami but she can dodge it easily "U-oh he's dead now that Nanami's serious" Kurama commented as he defeted the last yokai they are fighting "Is that all you've got?" she teased the enraged yokai between dodging the attacks "Time's up.. But don't worry I won't kill you" she smiled and stick a "purify" talisman on the yokai's forehead.. But a crimson red flame burnt it.. the three of them searched around and saw a shadow up the house "No choice.." Nanami slashed the yokai in front of her on the chest up its neck "show yourself!" the,serious Nanami shouted as she comes close to the tanuki girl to protect her "bwahaha what a strong girl you are..lady with daggers" then a man with a long red hair fall standing at the other side of the street "I might want you to be my bride bwahahaha.." Nanami glared at him "Akura-oh.." Akura-oh grinned "Oh so I'm THAT famous huh? Even a gorgeous lady like you know me" he was now beside Nanami holding the end of her hair and kissed i, Nanami react and slash her dagger but he vanished "Bwahaha.. So sensitive.. maybe I should play with you this time.. " Nanami felt something on her waist "I'll bring you with me.. " he whipered on her ear then they vanished in the thin air "Nanami-chan!?" "Kiki ki ki!? Nanami-chan!" Mizuki and Mamoru call out for her but no one answered and even more yokais starts to attack them "Mamoru bring that girl in a safe place!" Kurama shouted at Mamoru (AN: Mamoru's in his human form) he bring the girl home safely "Thank you very much.. Please be careful out there and I'll pray that Nanami-sama is ok" the tanuki and her family thanked Mamoru nod the run back to Kurama and Mizuki, the road he runs we're being cleansed and purifies yokais that set foot on it, after 1 whole hour the yokais retreated "Damn.. he got Nanami!" Kurama cursed "We need to find Nanami-chan emmidiately" Mizuki said in sad tone "Mizuki! Kurama!" Mamoru came running "We might know where she is! there are trails, it's an invisible string.."
