Chapter V: "Confuse"
-Normal POV-
We arrived at the house and as I slowly opened the door no ones inside
"Oh no.. they might be searching for me.." Nanami hurriedly run outside towards the town, Tomoe grab her hand
"Where are you going?"
"They might be searching for me I need to find them.. so they know that I'm safe..."
"Okay... I'll help" Tomoe transformed into a young man with short brown hair (AN: Just his normal short hair only the color is changed ^_^v)
"That's... a very good idea! Now let's start searching" they ran off the town searching every corner then Nanami saw the gold floor slowly disappearing
"Let's follow that light!" they followed it quickly as it starts to fade away and it leads them into a small abandoned house
"They're inside.." Nanami take 3 "No Presence" talisman and stick it on the three of them..
"Okay this will do.. don't take that off Tomoe.." He just obeyed her but walks first Nanami at her back.. they peeked at the small hole in the wall and saw that Mizuki, Kurama and Mamoru are tied in chair unconcious
"They're in a deep sleep.. I can't seem to feel a presence inside.." Nanami whispered then they slowly walks inside, not knowing that there's a trap Nanami accidentally stepped on a rope that hungs her up the rope is tied on her right leg
"Kyaaaah!" Nanami freaked out "It's ok Nanami, I'll help you jusy calm down, okay?" Tomoe run into her as Nanami struggle on covering her legs and undies
"No peeking!" (≧/≦)
"Y-yeah! just don't move so much you might hurt your leg" As he was about to burn the rope and ready to catch her, Nanami was pulled sideward upstairs it was Akura-ou..
"well, welcome back Lady with daggers~ " He caressed her legs down her waist thay makes Nanami shiver
"Stop that you Evil Fire Freak!" Nanami blurted
"That's what I like about you missy~" then he was about to kiss her knee but a blue fire lit a strand of Akura-ou's hair..
"You know that I hate being interrupted right brother?" He said deviously
"BRING HER DOWN!"" Tomoes original form came back as anger was visible in his eyes
"Why should I brother? Aren't you the one who STOLE her away from me!?" he furiously answered
"You can still find another women out there, so LEAVE HER BE!"
"Why? Do you love THIS girl?" he licked his lips as he touched Nanami's face..
"Yes.. Eversince we're kids.." Akura-ou was confused not knowing that Tomoe was just in his front and he cut the rope get away to him while carrying Nanami
"There's only ONE girl whom we used to play when we're child! What the hell do you mean brother!?"
"Nanami can you stand?" Nanami nod
"N-Nanami...? M-momozono Nanami?" Akura-ou murmured
"Why do you know MY name.. I don't get it all what you two are talking about!" then Nanami had another headache
-Flashback-
"Nanami-chan! look at this! isn't it big?" a little boy with red hair showed Nanami a cicada
"Mines even bigger tho" another little boy with white hair showed Nanami a larger cicada
"T-those are scary!" Nanami covered her face stopping herself to cry
"We'll throw it away!" the boy with red hair said
"Just don't cry!" The other boy continued
"Arigatou.. Tomo-chan, Ou-chan" Little Nanami smiled at them very wide and sweetly..
-End of flashback-
"You ok.. Nanami?" Tomoe help Nanami to stand hugging her in his chest
"What are those memories.. why is it all coming back now.." Terrified Nanami just stared at nowhere with wide eyes
"Then how come she doesn't know about our promise!?" Akura-ou screamed angrily
"Maybe someone sealed her memories when she's still a child.."
"Nonsense! How could... someone.. mess with her memories!" Nanami now fallen unconcious in Tomoes arms
"I'll stop about the promise, I'll wait for her memories to return and ask her again if she still wants that promise.. Because on what I can see.. She might oppose about that.. How about you? You can also stop this and wait like me.. if she's really important to you like she is to me.." Tomoe walks toward the three unconcious man
"Geez.. how can I bring them all.." He complained , then Sora jump out of the pouch and transformed into a 14 yrs old boy with a gray hair and red eyes wearing only a black shorts
"Hmmn.. nice pet huh.." Tomoe hopped Kurama in his shoulder and put mamoru inside the pouch, while sora carries Mizuki at his back
"We'll be going now.. Don't worry I'll protect Nanami from you brother.. " Akura-ou was dumbfounded can't believe on all the words he heard about Nanami and their promise..
-At the house-
-Tomoe's POV-
We're already at the small house they we're using, Nanami now is resting at her bed while the two friends of her's are also fast asleep at the sofa
"I shouldn't have said it all outloud while Nanami was with us.. Stupid Akura-ou" he cursed
"I wonder who sealed your memories.. It might break soon.. until then I have to be always by your side.." I held Nanami's hand caressing it on my cheeks
"T-tomoe?" she suddenly asked
"You're awake.. you okay now? you became unconcious af-"
"What happened to Akura-ou!? Where's everyone? are they okay?!" Nanami cut me at the middle of my sentence
"Relax.. everything's fine they are still asleep but they'll wake up soon.. " I smiled at her
"Akura-ou?" she asked
"No one's hurt he just stand there while we're escaping.. he's a stupid fire demon after all" I laughed..
-Normal POV-
"Nanami-chan! Are you alright!?" Mizuki suddenly came inside Nanami's room bursting in the door without knocking then he saw Nanami and Tomoe talking
"Why is that fox here!?" Mizuki became serious
"It's okay Mizuki! He's the one who saved us" Nanami walk down the bed then she felt a sudden pain in his right leg
"Ouch.."
"You okay Nanami?" Tomoe asked with worried look
"There's mark of the rope it's too tight and it leaves some bruise.." Tomoe kneel down and lift Nanami's legs then he looked at Nanami
"I can heal it.. would you allow me?"
"Nanami-chan.." Mizuki stare at them and Nanami nod slowly in approval
"Thank you.." then Tomoe licked Nanami's bruised leg that makes her blush like a tomato
"T-Tomoe?" she touched Tomoes head and clutched his hair, as Tomoe finished Nanami's bruises healed already
"Sorry on what I did" He apologized
"N-no.. thank you for healing me tho.." Nanami said blushing, Mizuki run at Nanami
"You okay Nanami-chan? I'm so sorry if we couldn't do anything to help you.." Mizuki said with pained face
"Daijoubu.. What's important is no one's hurt.. right?" Nanami pat Mizuki's head and smiled sweetly the he nod
"I'll explain everything.. let's talk about it later.. " Nanami said
"N-no, Nanami-chan should rest..It can wait until tomorrow right?" Mizuki smiled
"Hai.." She smiled then hugged Mizuki..
"Then I'll stay here in your room while you're sleeping.." Tomoe walk beside the window and just stared outside the darkness
"Nanami-chan.. Is it really ok?" Mizuki whispered
"Yes.. somehow I feel calm when I'm with him" She smiled while looking at Tomoe
"Hmmn.. wakatta just call us if something happen.. Oyasumii~" Mizuki leaves the room..
"I'll be sleeping now Tomoe.. How about you?"
"I'm fine.. Just sleep without worry.. I'll protect you" He smiled at Nanami that makes her blush.
"Oyasumii~" she said
"Oyasumii" then he stared again at the darkness outside.
