Stand up, Izanagi hold Mimi in his arm. Maybe Matsuo is something else...like Umeda-san said. But when I hug him... Blushed, when recalling what just happened. Still thinking of it as he scratch the kitten's neck softly, Mimi purrs. He noticed the kodama giving the pissed off impression from the warning. Or was it an advise? To Izanagi, he could only smile and apologize. "Gomene, Umeda-san, I was acting childish and made you worried. Thanks for protecting me...Although, I did not know if I was in danger or not..." Doubting. He know the kodama just want to protect him because he is Iemon's descendant. Putting the kitten down, Izanagi get on his bike before asking the kodama. "By the way, Umeda-san. Are you coming to my house today too?"

"Yeah well, maybe we need to work on your sense of the spiritual, hmm?" Umeda asked, arching an eyebrow at the young man.
Sighing, he let his spent cigarette fall to the pavement, crunching it beneath his boot.
"Of course I'm coming. I'm not letting you out of my sight, brat."

"Not letting me out of your sight huh? Ok." Smile kinkily and nod. He know the kodama will reach the house first. "See you later then." He said before riding back to his house. Without anyone to talk to him, the same voice and words spins in his head again. This time it is louder than before. It is driving him annoyingly insane. But Izanagi know once he is home, it will be gone because the kodama is there. "I'm home!" Putting back the bike beside the shoe rack and taking off his shoe...

At about the same moment that Izanagi got home, Umeda materialized having walked through the wall.
Once again, as before, he had turned into his true form and ridden the winds back to the student's home. Not needing a key to anything was quite a handy trait.
"I can tell." Noe spoke, leaning against the wall as he watched Izanagi.
For once, the kodama wasn't smoking.

It's been a long time since someone actually welcome him home. Izanagi like this feeling. He smile to the kodama, notice he is not smoking for the first time. "I think you look better with a cig." Although Izanagi does not like smokers but he was just telling the truth. The kodama looks cool and stylish when he is smoking.

"Yeah well, sometimes I don't exactly feel like smoking." Umeda replied, a bit touchy and snappish with his comments.
He didn't mean to be... but there were just too many things in the man's mind that could go wrong.
Too many demons and spirits...
Too many who could hurt a man that he hadn't wanted to see harmed...
'I'm over him.' Noe thought to himself before looking at Izanagi and just staring at the youth for a long time.
"You really don't look like him." he scoffed before pushing away from the wall and walking fully into the living room. "And you're sure as hell not as suspicious as he was..."

Chuckled, Izanagi walk to the living room. Tossing his school bag on the sofa and turn back to the kodama. "Maybe you are just getting bored with the same old taste." The stare from the kodama skipped his heartbeat. "Umeda-san, w-why are you staring me like that?" Turning away from the stare, he place a hand on his chest, he heard the kodama's reply. Squeezing his fist tightly, he sighed. "That, is a good thing, isn't it?" He smile watching the kodama stepping into the living room.

Umeda ignored the tastes comment, but at the moment, his mind was taking it to places it didn't need to be.
Bored of what taste? Cigarettes? Iemon?
Too many questions that he didn't want to think about.
"No, it's not a good thing." Noe replied, sitting on the sofa and propping his booted feet, for he hadn't left his shoes by the door as custom, on the coffee table, one crossed over the other at the ankles. "You need to be suspicious or else you'll be dead. You can see spirits, Izanagi... it's rare. VERY rare. And today you just HAPPENED to meet someone who could see them too? Someone that was sick and just poof... magically better? Hell, kid could've died and his corpse is walking around on it's own for all I know."
Sighing, the kodama pulled his cigarettes out of his coat pocket and tapped one out. He placed the end between his lips, lighting the tip and taking a long pull.
"See now, if I wasn't following you around like some damned lost puppy which, by the way," he looked to the young man, pointing with his cigarette, "Isn't a natural habit of mine. I tend to ignore humans for the bastards they usually are."
Oh yes, he was a rather jaded spirit.
'Except when I can have a little fun...' the man thought to himself before continuing.
"My point is, Izanagi... be wary. Look at everyone like they're trying to kill you... well, except me of course because if I'd wanted to, I would've already done it by now." Umeda smirked charmingly at that thought.

Izanagi listened every words the kodama said. Sitting on the sofa opposite of the kodama, he face palm himself. "You think Matsuo is one of them...? He could have kill me when we walk to school together...But he didn't." There is too much to think. He feel like his head is going to explode soon. "I'll just listen to what you say anyway." Look at everyone like they're trying to kill him...That sound crazy. However, Izanagi has no choice, as he is Iemon, the descendant. "You know, it is too bad you are not a woman. Or I will fall in love with you." Izanagi said giggling. He wasn't teasing, just telling the truth.

Smirking, Umeda tried his damnedest not to laugh.
But eventually, he couldn't help it.
"Fall in love with me, ne?" Shaking his head, long black hair falling over his shoulders, the kodama just chuckled. "Guess it's not the time nor place to mention I technically don't have a gender... and that I just CHOOSE to be this way, hmm?"
In truth, kodama were genderless spirits of nature. Noe just preferred being a man because... well... he was attracted to men and thus liked to look like them.
He imitated the male physic.
"You've seen what I REALLY look like." the man pointed out, taking a drag of his cigarette. "I think you have species to worry about instead of gender in my case."
Sighing however, Umeda turned rather serious again. "As for why Matsuo didn't kill you... that I don't know. He may want something from you, may be using you somehow, but the Oiwa-san I knew was pissed, Izanagi. Pissed enough, at the time, that a grudge would have developed... a deep hatred that carried over into the after life." he paused, thinking for a long moment before deciding to tell him exactly what he was thinking.
"I've seen ghosts rip a mortal apart in seconds over grudges. I've also seen them toy with a person until that being can't take it anymore... then the mortal's death is a slow and agonizing process." his black eyes focused directly on Izanagi. "I'd rather not watch as you're torn limb from limb, thank you very much."

Genderless? Choose to be this way? Umeda-san attracted to men but he is imitating them? Heh, now I understand why people go gay...The spirits like Umeda-san started it...Must be it. Izanagi thought after hearing what the kodama said. Staying quiet, he listens to the kodama continue tha talk. Matsuo... Matsuo's face appear in his mind. Thinking of Matsuo becoming some evil ghosts that might be using him for something and rip him a part in the end is unbelievable. Will Matsuo be the same like Oiwa? Izanagi is thinking who else that hold grudge towards him. He close his eyes leaning back to the sofa. "F*** my life..." He smirk before opening his eyes again.

Laughing, obviously amused by Izanagi's response to his current life, Umeda couldn't help but smirk at the student who had plopped down onto the sofa next to him.
"Just think of how much it would suck if you had to live it for a thousand years." the Kodama spoke with a smirk. "No... your life doesn't suck, Izanagi. Hell, I'd say you've got it rather nice, what with your parents being gone so much... house all to yourself... free to do whatever you want."
Noe shrugged, taking a long drag of his cigarette.
"In fact, most kids would probably kill to have your life. So you've got a problem with vengeful spirits... you wouldn't be the first one nor the last. Just means you need to make friends with spirits who don't want to gut you on the spot."
Made perfect sense to Umeda, after all.

Life is f***ed up to Izanagi. Not like he don't appreciate and accept who he is but he can't believe how his life will end up. Running his fingers to his hair, Izanagi stare at the ceiling through the slit between his fingers. The fan is spinning and spinning...Just like the voice in his head. Though, he can still hear the kodama.
Smirked, Izanagi thought.
They will kill to have my life? They will get killed if they have my life. I'm just a normal person. No super powers. I cannot defend or protect myself from supernaturals. I can see them but cannot stop those who wants to hurt me with my own hands...
He pull his hand away and look at it.
"To be honest, it is really nice to have such big house all for myself, parents not here...I can spend my time however I want. But, I am lonely, Umeda-san...I'm glad you happen to appear in my life." Izanagi smiled as he put down his hand.
Because of Iemon, Umeda-san is brought to him. Living with a thousand years old spirit doesn't seems to be so bad. As long as, he is not an evil spirit. Futhermore, the kodama speak like a father. Well, at least Izanagi think so...He can be Izanagi's parent when the real ones are not around.
Izanagi kind of understand how the kodama think of life. Everyone gets bored and tired with their life easily. But think again, hey, the world is changing every second. You just have to meet the right person, right time, right place to create fun. Right? Just like he met Umeda-san...The kodama changes his life...
"Human or spirit. We don't seem like we appreciate our own life, huh? You don't, I don't...We always think what we couldn't reach is the best thing for us. But it's not. Once we get what we want, we will greedy for better and more. Trashing what we've got a side..."
Suddenly, horrible pictures flashing in his mind. The pictures how Iemon cut his bride, Oume in the face into two and Oiwa's deformed face appear next in the wedding dress. Ugly, and bloody. Eyes wide opened. Blood flowing out from his nose but he probably didn't know it now since he is stone and terrified of what he saw...

Matsuo walk all the way back to home, like a normal human and brought some food with him. Umeda Noe... The kodama needs to be eliminated.
The house is quiet. There, the three spirits are waiting for their master Oiwa.
"Welcome back, Oiwa-sama." Hanami said. Her voice is soft and powerless. It seems she has not fully recover yet.
"Matsuo." He glare at her. "Never call my name when I'm in this form. Obey...or else." He hissed and warn Hanami. "Get some more rest. You need to heal up quick." Saying, he walk upstairs and head to the Yamamoto, Matsuo's parents.
The twins knees are shaking when their master hisses. But Hanami don't. She is happy to know her master care about her injury. "Hai, Oi- I mean Matsuo."
Matsuo reach a door and unbound the seal. Inside, the Yamamoto parents are hugging each other and in fear. The fear their 'son', Matsuo. "Go away, you evil spirit!" The father shout and throw the lamp to Matsuo. But it missed. Matsuo put down the food on the floor. "Eat something. I don't want you both die in the house." He said then leave the room locked with a seal again. For now, Matsuo will wait patiencely. He know he can't force and rush things now.
