Chapter 7
What is an onmyoji doing in a school for youkais?
"I know what you're thinking…" Yura said, raising both hands.
"Well I guess that there's nothing better for an onmyoji to practice in a school for youkais…" I said blatantly. "I guess we both think alike…" I continued.
"Well, as you said, its true… but there's another reason…" she said looking at the floor. By this time, she had already sat in my desk chair and was facing me. I had started eating my dinner.
"Huuhh?"
"I'm the only one of my family who has come to this school, probably the only onmyoji… hehe" she said nervously.
"That's why I can't understand why an onmyoji put themselves in danger, being in a youkai school… but I guess, if you are like me, you might want to prove something?" I said. The last part was said as a question for her to give me her other reason. She kept quiet. Ok, let me try something else…
"Are you here for 'someone'" I asked bluntly. Her head jerked up. Gotcha!
"I… its not what you think…" she trailed off.
"Yura-chan, you can trust me," I said with a smile. She smiled back, nervously. "You wouldn't be the first human to fall for a youkai…"
"What! No… no! That's not the reason why I'm here!" she yelled.
"Ah? Then what is it?"
"An onmyoji cannot fall in love with a youkai," she said burning a whole on the floor.
She sighed and said: "I'm friends with one of them."
"Oh, c'mon Yura! That's not a reason!" I exclaimed. "Yura-chan, I will confess something to you that must not leave this room, but I will expect honesty in return," I continued.
"Hai!" she said looking up.
"My mother fell in love with a hanyou… She… she's a priestess," I said.
"EEEHHHH!" she yelled, almost falling from her chair.
"Yup, I'm the product of a ½ youkai and a priestess. My father has also human blood, which would make me a ¼ youkai…" I continued.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!" this time she did fall from the chair. After she got herself together and sat back I continued,
"Except, that's not the case. See, when I was a child, because my spiritual powers had awakened, I was a target for many youkais who wanted control of my powers. In one of those times, when I was attacked, my uncle, a youkai, saved me. I was severely hurt. I had lost a lot of blood. Before that, I hadn't received any spiritual training and even though I killed the youkai that attacked me, I was severely beaten. My father had gone after the rest of the clan that attacked so I was left with my aunt, my mother and imp demon, Jaken…"
"Why are you telling me all this?" Yura asked, cutting off my story.
"You'll see. I had lost too much blood and I wasn't going to be able to make it. Even though my mother tried to heal me, it wasn't enough. So Jaken and my uncle decided to perform a blood exchange; with youkai blood,"
Yura gasped. "Matte… aren't you ¼ youkai?"
"Hai, but you see, I was still too young and I had not yet acknowledge my youkai self. So my uncle and Jaken made a ritual where I had to drink his blood. I still don't understand the meaning behind that ritual in particular but it saved my life, and honestly, I still don't understand… why my body didn't repelled it completely."
"Matte, so you are saying you are not ¼ youkai but ½ youkai?" Yura exclaimed, nearly falling from the chair… again.
" Aren't you a smart kid?" I said in a condescending tone. She didn't seem to like it.
"So, this means you're a hanyou and a miko?" she said, trying to put 2-2 together.
"Yeah," I said with a sigh.
"But isn't it contradictory?" she asked.
"There are some things that I don't understand either, Yura-chan… I wish I had the answer to that one,"
Matte, I thought. Isn't that why the elders back then said that my spiritual levels reached that to equal any youkai?
"But…" Yura said, interrupting my thinking, "ah, I don't know… this is very confusing" she said scratching her head.
"Yeah, it is" I sighed.
"That's a lot of information to digest… I think I'm gonna go rest," she said standing up and heading to the door.
"Matte, Yura-chan…" I said, stopping her. "Aren't you suppose to be honest to me as to why are you here?"
"Well, it wouldn't be any fun to have all this conversation in one night, now would it?" she said turning around.
"Uh… yeah I guess you are right," I said.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what we talked about," she smiled and left.
Next morning started as the usual… well I have being here only 2 days. Yet, as I said before, I managed to have one fight, one 'almost' fight, school body fear me and oh yeah, I was attacked.
Seiichimaru met me at the entrance of the girls' dorm and we walked in silence towards the cafeteria. As expected, people made way for my passing by. And the murmuring… well I can't do anything about it. When Seiichi and I were seated, he finally spoke,
"Where were you yesterday?"
I kept silence, sipping my tea.
"I was at the library and later went to my room… I apologize for not showing up for dinner," I said.
"Don't lie to my, you fool," he said silently, piercing me with his golden, slightly slanted eyes.
"Uh!"
"What happened yesterday, Kameko?"
Well, I guess I can't lie to him. As expected from the son of Sesshomaru-sama…
"I will proceed in telling you at recess… now is not the time," I said looking around. He sensed I was worried, but he kept quiet.
"Hn"
In the homeroom, I sat in my assigned place near the window and was gazing at the sky when,
"You do seem a little tired, Taisho-san… Pulling all-nighters already?"
I recognized the voice; it came from that white-black haired youkai.
"Whatever I do in my free time is none of your concern, Rikuo," I said not averting my gaze from the window.
"How dare you disrespect Rikuo-sama?" said another voice.
I turned around and saw the neckless youkai, staring at me…
Rikuo… sama? Ah, so the youkai has a title? Some kind of royalty? Ha! Baka!
"Yare, yare, Kubinashi" said Rikuo, waving the neckless youkai off.
"But Waka…" hesitated Kubinashi.
Young Master? Hmmm he's really then a youkai of certain nobility… interesting!
"I do not need to address him with any kind of respect… I am showing him the same kind of respect he has shown me," I said, addressing myself to the neckless youkai.
"Ah! And why is that, Taisho-san?" snorted Rikuo, picked with interest.
"Because as yourself, Waka, I also come from noble lineage," I said looking at my desk, with a smirk on my lips.
I could hear several gasps in the classroom; including Yura, who had just made an entrance.
"I'm a descendant of a noble clan of inu youkai…" I said. I heard Kubinashi, Yura and Rikuo inhale sharply.
"I'm the granddaughter of Inu no Taisho."
Awesome! Now they know who she is... so what will Rikuo make out of it? Read next chapter!
Obviously review this one before...
