SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 26 out, this is Chapter 27 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review other than just simply putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.
Chapter 27: Don't Rely On Anyone
"The land of Inari, with huge harvests and prosperous businesses, is governed nu the main deity, Toyoke-Omikami." Mike related. "Since ancient times, we've been guarding this Inari and its surroundings. A ritual was held where the messenger of Uga-No-Mitama-no-Kami married into the Inari family. The Kamiki Family is the branch family that was created. In other words, it is a family that obtained divine powers by interbreeding with a Fox God. The same as that boy cloaked in divine flames." the puppet turned to Rin. "You could say that they are related to demons by blood. But even if I tell you this now, the branch family's blood has become so thin that there is no difference from an average person. But, because th Kamiki family served us diligently, even now, their blood is strong enough for us to lend them our divine power. The Kamiki family lived in a quiet, small shrine near the main shrine. This is where Kamiki Izumo was born to Kamiki Tamamo, the 64th generation Chief Priest of the Kamiki family. The Chief Priest held strong divine powers. The Kamiki family had the duty of appeasing the 'Spirit'. The 'Life-Taking Stone'. A spirit stone which kills any living things who approaches, and revives any dead thing. Once, the 'Life-Taking Stone' was destroyed by one of the mediums. It took the shape of a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox. In order to quell the curse of the Nine-tails, the Kamiki family was severed from the Inari family to establish a lineage of mediums. In each generation, the Miko becoming the Chief Priest is called 'Tamamo'. She has to perform a dance called 'Kamioroshi'; she needs to assimilate and then appease the Nine-tails. The power of this current 'Tamamo' is stronger than any Miko before her. Her dance was beautiful. Izumo and Tsukumo were treated as the head of the family and current Chief Priest Inami Souji's beloved children. But that was a complicated situation to grow up in. On top of that, they were also treated as the children of the Kamiki family, who have to deal with the 'Life-Taking Stone'. There were a lot of people with contemptuous or unenthusiastic expressions. When they were outside of the shrine, away from each other, Izumo couldn't take her mind off Tsukumo. Because others were laughing at the ones who are different from themselves, Izumo was always isolated."
