Now, who said the kitsune wants to protect the kodama?
He is doing this for Izanagi and other Tamiyas.
Yon knows the kodama will protect Izanagi's future at all cost. Even Umeda has to sacrifice his life...
With this reason, Yon does not have any excuse to force Izanagi to come back here. Neither the others.
Right now, Yon can't let Sayori's plan to be success.
He follow after the kodama without hesitating anymore. Thanks to his powerful legs, Yon is able to catch up with Umeda.
"It was someone else I want to protect, not you...Keep going anyway. Don't look back." Still following behind of Umeda.
The necromancer can sense where the kodama is going. "I-It's moving! No way I'm letting you escape...Not if you give us back our cousin!"
She unleashed her shikigami, the Kamikiri to go after Umeda.
She can sense there is a stronger power heading to the same way of the kodama.
Of course, she isn't the only one who sensed this unknown creature's aura.
Riding at her shikigami's back, the speed is 2 times the necromancer runs normally.
Taichi wasn't planning to go after the kodama at the beginning.
But leaving Shiori going alone worries him a little, since there is an unknown powerful creature is being with the kodama now.
Sighing to Ayame, he slide his hands into the pocket. Walking to the direction where Shiori went.
"Guess I have no choice..." However he was halted by Sayori.
"Taichi-san."
"Yes mistress?" The butler reply in manner.
The girl smirked. "Just to let you know, if necessary...I want you to use 'her'. Get me the kodama no matter what."
From the evil smirk on Sayori's face, Taichi widened his eyes with a shocked expression.
Sayori was suggesting him to use a dangerous weapon.
The butler was forbidden to use this weapon for battle before.
Instead of worrying Shiori, he is more worry about himself now.
Will he able to control 'her' just fine?
Nodded, he went to look for the necromancer immediately.
It doesn't take too much time for Shiori to find and catch up the kodama.
She is very surprise to see an eight tailed kitsune. No doubt, the strong radiation she sensed must be coming from this creature.
But that doesn't stop her from trying to capture Umeda Noe.
"Umeda Noe!!" She shouted on her Kamikiri's back. "Kisama, give me back my cousin brother Izanagi!" She charge in to the kodama on her own while her shikigami gives her assistance from behind.
Shiori is extraordinary compare to normal human. The super strength that able her to lift up items weight about a hundred kilos and the speed as fast as a 1.5 liter engine.
Battling with this little girl will definitely surprise the kodama.
Yet, human is human. She won't deal much damage to Umeda without using any magic.
The Kamikiri appear with her hands of the shape of scythe sword, a pair of long thin human legs balancing her slim body.
She has a human's face, cobra eyes and curly long black hair that length till her shoulder.
With a famous cry among their species "mogaaaaa..." from behind for every attack a kamikiri will perform never fail to slow down the enemy before.
The cry alerted Yon automatically take cover for the kodama.
His powerful paw gave a direct hit on the Kamikiri's Torso, causing the Kamikiri injured slightly.
Actually Yon was avoiding a bloody battle to happen. He does not want to hurt or kill any Tamiya member.
But toying with their shikigami will be alright.
As a guardian, it is his job and promise to protect every single Tamiya from harm.
By hiding his other tails, Yon has been living as a pet in the Tamiya mansion from centuries to centuries.
Unlike other kitsunes, Yon is the type that search for simple but happy life.
To have human being his masters, wanting to be feeded and loved.
In return, he will watch over his master's family eternity. The kitsune only reveal his true form when his master has an impossible wish.
Granting one wish to one another, they will be contracted and soul bound. A kitsune will stay as a pet again or something else at somewhere around until the mortal one dies.
From this angle, it is explainable why Shiori couldn't recognize Yon in his kitsune form. Only the one who signed up a contract with him will figure what he is.
The last person who had contract with Yon was Izanagi's grandfather.
The Kamikiri isn't a good opponent for a legend like Kitsune. Yon is confident that he can hold the Kamikiri as long as he want.
He believe Taichi will come for Shiori eventually. It was a bingo.
The butler appeared, throwing a piece of yellow paper with mantra on it, created a forbidden barrier in front of the kodama whom happens to be fighting with the young necromancer...

The kodama had never anticipated that this kitsune would actually follow him... let alone help him in battle.
A fire spirit aiding a tree spirit was just pretty damn well unheard of.
But Umeda Noe wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth... and thus accepted the aid of Yon.
Especially when Shiori appeared...
"I'm not holding him against his will." Umeda stated coldly, a sort of green glow that shifted to a pinkish color appearing along the outlines of his body at the same time. "Izanagi is safe from you. Your dark magic shouldn't be used around one as fragile as him! A necromancer should know better..." the kodama smirked, dodging to the left then right as he fended off Shiori's attacks, without actually striking out at the girl at all.
After all... he figured Izanagi would be pissed if he hurt any of his family.
Umeda spared a glance at Yon, watching for just a moment as the kitsune faced off against the kamikiri. He wanted to switch opponents, since obviously he wouldn't have a problem ripping the kamikiri to shreds.
But seeing how Yon had things under control...
It wasn't until about five seconds later... that Umeda screamed.
Yellow lightning sizzled around his body, send multi-colored sparks flying off of the kodama every time yellow came into contact with pink or green.
Something was trying to break into his own defense shield... which was the green aura that surrounded him.
And whatever the hell it was... it hurt...
The pink aura around Noe surged, exploding outward and shattering the yellow paper with the mantra... though at the same time, Umeda was forced to land, feet planted firmly on the ground, as he glared at both Tachi and Shiori.
"You think a spell can hold me?" the kodama asked as a somewhat pink energy began to gather in his hands.
All around him, vines were beginning to snake their way up from the depths of the earth, weaving around the ground near his feet, ever reaching outward, but never impeding him.
"I'll rip you to shreds..."

Yon didn't make it to take cover for the kodama this time.
Quickly, he ignored the wounded kamikiri and run to Umeda.
Shiori feel relief when she saw Taichi arrived. She then realize that her shikigami is badly injured.
"Kamikiri..." Feeling guilty to her shikigami, she praised the spirit instead of apologizing. Since she is the master..."You did good. Rest a while now."
Knowing the kodama can't be easily defeated, the monk had decided to use 'her'. "Rip me to shreds? ...We'll see about that." He said seriously. Eyes narrowed and focused on the kodama, he starts to chant.
The weird looking tattoo on his wrist glows in orange red color, forming a summon gate in between of the monk and kodama.
Yon is very surprise of Taichi's decision.
A curse, a torture...a weapon. All this time, the young monk has been keeping it inside him.
That chanting spell is one of the most dangerous forbidden dark magic. "This spell...Sayori, how can she...."
He truly understands the creature behind the swirling white hole does not have mercy. One that a tree spirit can't handle in a health condition like Umeda.
The kitsune figure he has to do something before the humans and tree spirit hurting each other.
He wonder if he should toss some kitsunebi at Taichi because it might kill the monk if he did.
Shiori is not happy for what the kitsune had done to her precious shikigami.
That anger cannot be put out until she has her revenge.
It is a good chance to attack now since the kitsune looks to have thinking of something.
Of course, the attack failed. But it did stops the kitsune from coming up a plan.
"I'll be your opponent..." The necromancer hissed.
As the vines growing more, the creature that has been summoned walk her way out from the white hole.
It happens to be a young woman with pallid skin, onyx eyes, and crimson lips. She have very long, straight black hair that gives off a whitish glow.
She looks weak and not harmful but it is stupid to judge from her outlook.
"We meet again...my beloved Shikome." Taichi greet her with a sheepish grin.
Shikome, servant of Yomi, the underworld. They are said to be blindly loyal to their masters, existing only to serve.
Apparently, she noticed she has an enemy in front of her, which is the kodama.
She take a good look of Umeda from head to toe. Examining her enemy while waiting for her master to give her the order...

An almost primordial whistling hissing escaped Umeda... as if the wind were violently ripping through the trees.
But no... it was the kodama's own voice.
Of course the man knew what... knew who... this woman was.
He was also not foolish enough to underestimate her either.
"Summoning Shikome... your pride knows no bounds, does it?" Umeda asked coldly. "This one is no more your master than I, Shikome. Beings and spirits such as ourselves should NEVER be slave to mortals! Only to gods!"
With that outcry, the vines farthest from Umeda's body sharpened their ends and drove straight toward Taichi and Shikome. He made sure to keep the strange pink glow about his own form however, using it as part of his defense.
After all, he didn't quite know what to expect... but the kodama wasn't about to be the one who didn't strike first....
(((OOC: Sorry, I totally vegged all weekend, hehe.)))

The Shikome smile beautifully when she heard the whistles and hisses from her enemy.
At last, the moment she awaits for many years has come.
A challenge of life and death will be enough to entertain her in situation like this.
Taichi kept quiet from Umeda's cold words. That was because he think the kodama got a point there.
Having Shikome with him was painful and tormenting.
But he didn't choose the Shikome as slave. It was the Shikome herself who chose him to be her master.
Till now, Taichi still doesn't know what was the Shikome's purpose for choosing him.
He doesn't want to ask or know the truth yet...
On the other side, Yon has got into a fight with Shiori.
The kitsune did not want to hurt Shiori. But damn, the female necromancer is very persistent.
Yon can't go anywhere with the strings Shiori had made from tree to tree. Trapping the cunning demon fox inside her net.
This is the perfect time to use his magical power to destroy the net and run to the kodama as fast as he can.
The net has been broken immediately. Too bad, the Kamikiri recovered a little energy and blocked his way.
Despise the fact he can't hurt Shiori because of Tamiya, he release all his unsatisfaction along with his current anger at the cutting spirit.
Get lost you f**king annoying lowbie! The kitsune said inwardly.
Back to the monk and kodama scene, Shikome waited for Taichi's order to attack while studying Umeda's movement, personality and power.
She stays in her beautiful woman form instead of her true horrible form.
The vines attack won't work to a Shikome. She is old...Old until she can't remember how old is her own exact age.
Vines were shredded into pieces by her long sharp claws. Keeping her master and herself safe from dangerous.
She looked at Taichi and nodded. Telling Taichi that she is ready to attack anytime in this form.
Normally, a Shikome would study their enemy longer. Could it be that she had sensed Umeda's is a dying spirit?
The monk can give out his order now. He understands a Shikome won't do a losing fight.
"Play as you like." He said smirking to the Shikome...
Now, the Shikome would love to play in defense. She will surely eliminate the kodama in a split of second after she gets bored with him.

'Kuso...' Umeda thought to himself, not even giving the fight between Shiori and Yon a second thought.
After all... he had enough on his plate to deal with.
The pink around the kodama's body fluctuated to a green, as power flowed through his arms. Dropping to one knee, Noe slammed his hands onto the ground, palms open, as he let out a scream of raw force. All around him the ground cracked, then, fast as lightning, sent cracking tendrils out toward Shikome and Taichi, shattering the ground around and under them.
While this was happening, while the roar of the earth splitting filled the air around them, Umeda's aura fluctuated once more to a purple color and he dashed forward with an inhuman speed.
On his pale hands were two purple orbs of offensive energy. When he came to point-blank range in front of Shikome, he let loose the blast in her face, before back-flipping high into the air and landing like a perfect gymnast a few feet away.
He wasn't going to attack again... not until he knew what damage his last attack had done.
Once more, his aura was of a defensive pink.

The ground shattered.
Shikome didn't dodge from those spillting earth.
She just stand right there while Taichi himself has to retreat from the spot.
Taichi does not worry about Shikome at all. He know she can't be easily damaged by Umeda.
Shikome can disappear at will, manipulate spirit energy, and disrupt the flow of energy flow by channeling their own energy. This may make it difficult for their opponents. Especially for magic users.
That attack from Umeda won't be able to deal a single damage on her.
But because Umeda blast in her face, she is enraged.
She revealed her true form. Turning into a demonic ugly old woman with sharp claws that are created for mangling.
White hair, black skin with cyan glowy eyes. A demonic breathe leaking out from her lips.
In a blink of an eye, she is invinsible.
Now that she know how strong her oppenent can be after analyzation and adapted the battle stage, she will no longer stay in defense mode.
Yon sensed the Shikome's presence. Strong and deadly.
If only he can knock down Shiori and Kamikiri without hurting them...
Wait, there is a way to do that. But he needs to change back to his half human-fox form in order to cast the spell.
Quickly, he changed to a two legged walking kitsune, with a head of a fox, fox tails and human body.
He started to chant, fingers moving fast like he is playing ninjutsu.
As the necromancer and cutting spirit gets near and nearer to Yon, their movement were slowed down.
At first they started to lose conciousness. Few seconds later, they fell asleep.
The sleeping spell he learned from a chanter's book very long ago has finally come to be useful.
Now, he must help Umeda to get rid of this deadly female ghost.
Landing beside the kodama, Yon starts sniffing at the air. "She is moving too fast. But I can still smell her." He told Umeda.
"You don't have much energy left. Go to Izanagi now. I'll cover you." He can defeat the Shikome for sure.
However, he isn't sure if he can survive from her...

'Great, Umeda. Pick a fight with something that's stronger than you. Perfect idea.' the kodama thought angrily to himself.
And then Shikome was just gone.
Well no... not gone...
Closing his abyssal eyes, Umeda stood perfectly still, reading the flow of the wind and air around him. He could sense where she moved... but attacking her was going to be something else altogether.
However, Yon snapped him out of his concentration, and the kodama hissed at the kitsune. "Fight your own battles. I have enough energy." Umeda replied before blinking in sudden shock. "They're distracting me..." he whispered, finally realizing the point of the fight. "Keeping me from..."
A flash of green happened as Umeda sped forward, grabbing Taichi by the neck and squeezing hard.
"Have you done something to Izanagi?" the kodama hissed, his aura fluctuating in such a way that it would be painful to anyone touching it.

Taichi couldn't breathe. He don't understand what the kodama was asking him.
Yon who was told to fight his own battle was panicked to see Umeda gripping at Taichi's neck.
Although Taichi isn't a Tamiya. But they live together in the mansion.
Just right at this moment, Yon had located Shikome. He dashed to Umeda.
Ignoring the fact that the fluctuating green aura of the kodama that can hurt him physically.
Yon created quite a big kitsunebi on his right hand and slam it from the back of Umeda when Taichi had turned into Shikome.
She stabbed her sharp claws into Umeda's stomach before Yon's kitsunebi were to hit on her head.
Causing her hair to burn in greenish flame. She let out a loud cry of panic before moving her claws away from Umeda.
