Once the Karasu-Tengu family, reached the main house, they were greeted by the Niidaime, Nura Rihan.
"Oh, Karasu-Tengu, you're early, even compared with past experiences. I see you've brought the entire family this time." Rihan looked at Kyoya and the others and smiled as he bowed to Nuregarasu.
She blushed and bowed back.
"Rihan, what is going on?" The group was greeted by a beautiful woman with long black hair. She wore a kimono of plum blossoms that slightly matched the blush on her pale face. "Oh my, you must be Karasu-Tengu's wife Nuregarasu? I'm Yamabuki Otome, Rihan-sama's wife." she bowed lowly.
Nuregarasu squealed silently, "Yes and these are my children, The eldest Kuroumaru." she motioned to the boy with messy black hair, "Next is Sasami, my only daughter," the girl mentioned bowed in respect, "Tosakamaru," he was over at the pond playing with a small kappa. "and the youngest, Kyoya." Kyoya resembled his oldest brother greatly but while his brother showed no expresion certain times he copied it, had a look of annoyence, or a scowl.
Kyoya pulled on a look of admirance, "It is my great pleasure to meet you Otome-sama, Rihan-sama!" he said as he bowed.
Otome chuckled, "So many children, I wish i could have a few."
Nuregarasu smiled sweetly and led Otome away speaking with her about the pros and cons of children. Then Karasu-Tengu led Rihan away.
Kyoya glanced around and decided to run softly down the walkway. He peeked into random rooms to try and find something interesting. He found a small girl sitting in her mother's lap. Her mother had a clearish hairbrush and was brushing gently through it.
He couldn't help but remember when Sasami sat on her mother's lap and brushed her hair. Both had such calm faces. He gave a little smile to them before closing the door.
Kyoya continued looking for interesting things, but while he was taking a look in the kitchen he felt a hand pat his back. He jumped and turned around to see a slightly old looking man. The only thing that told him the man was old was slight cheek indentions and peach fuzz.
"So, gaki, what cha' doing?"
"...I'm bored"
"That's it? I'm sure Setsura's daughter, Tsurara, would be willing to play with you and kappa." The man smiled like a caring grandfather.
"Kay'"
"OI SETSURA, I FOUND TSURARA A NEW VICT- I mean, PLAYMATE" The man just laughed as he practically skipped away.
The woman from before peeked her head out of the room and grinned evilly before going back in the room.
Kyoya stepped in front of the room only to be frozen into a Tengu-sicle.
