"ANSWER ME!" Umeda shouted before he suddenly released Taichi and pitched backward, blood splashing the ground.
He teetered, collapsing to one knee as his own blood flowed over his lips.
"Ki... Kisama..." the kodama hissed, one hand going to his stomach wound and pressing at it. "Least... whatever you did... hurt her..." he spoke, glancing at Yon before pushing himself to his feet.
Umeda could still fight.
He had to.
At least until he was back with Izanagi...
(((OOC: Not sure what the kitsunebi did, but I assumed Umeda was still injured.)))

(( ^^'' -jumps into the sea- Sorry sorry sorry. Uhh, Can I stop the fight now .-. Or you want to continue this until Umeda can't even move anymore? I mean pass out, not dead.))
Yon made a small 'Tch' sound at what Umeda said.
It is not over yet. Not until the Shikome herself decided to leave.
Those two, Shiori and Kamikiri will soon awake. While he can't find Taichi anywhere.
The Kitsune stay behind Umeda in case Taichi or someone else will attack from behind.
Shikome still crying of the flame which has not yet put out on her hair.
But no doubt, she is getting even angrier than before.
Calmed down, she manipulates her energy to put out the flame.
A direct stare at the enemy who wasn't her target at first with her glowing cyan eyes.
Although Yon himself is powerful than a Shikome, but that scary stare freaked him out.
Kitsune, the legendary obake and Shikome, the demonic woman from the underworld.
These two were list as the most dangerous creature in Japanese folklore.
It is unusual for these two kinds of creature to have struggles.
But today, there is reason for them to fight each other.
"I hope I did not become old and rusty." He joked while look at the injured spirit. "I know you still can fight. But leave the strongest one to me now."
Smiled, he lay his paw on Umeda's shoulder.
Transfering some of his energy to Umeda so he can deal with the soon awake Kamikiri and other two humans.
"We will find Izanagi." he added before charging to Shikome with another kitsunebi on his hand.

(((OOC: They should totally keep fighting. Besides, it's been a while since Umeda was in a fight, let alone beat in one. Plus a good RP fight is fun every now and then.))) ~ ~ ~
Using one hand, Umeda wiped the blood from his mouth. The extra energy provided by Yon was appreciated... though it did sting his pride a bit.
"Why the hell are such powerful spirits living in this damned place?" the kodama hissed, conceding the fight to Yon.
After all, he really didn't want to look like swiss cheese after this was all said and done.
Black eyes glanced over to see Shiori starting to wake up. Sighing, Umeda forced the pink aura to collect around his body again, having been extinguished from his injury.
"This day just keeps getting better and better." he commented sarcastically.

((Ok, let's skip the fight of Yon and Shikome a bit...I don't want to describe how the fight will be going...Cause I want to write something about Izanagi now >.< Don't want super long thread.. ))
A fierce battle of Kitsune and Shikome goes on.
Both fight mercilessly. A legendary spirit is way too hard for Shikome.
She is not as cunning as the fox. But she is able to nullify most of the magic attack from Yon.
Afterall, Shikome has an advantage. That of they can adapt fast in any kind of battle.
Therefore, to defeat Shikome, Yon has to knock her down before she adapts it.
On the other side, Kamikiri and Shiori has awakened. Gathering their consciousness and enery again, the faced the injured kodama.
Pulling out her sharp strings, Shiori throw them at the kodama. She was trying to control the kodama with strings, toying him like a puppet.
Kamikiri waits for her chance to attack in close range while her master plays in long range.
Taichi, the monk who switched places with his servant, Shikome has ran back to the Tamiya mansion.
He looked for Sayori who probably knows where Izanagi has been taken.
"Sayori-dono." he was tired after running his long way back to the mansion. But he wants to know if Sayori had Izanagi with her since the question Umeda asked him has such meaning.
The female shaman sitting on a bamboo made swing, enjoying her tea. "Why are you back? Shouldn't you be terminating the kodama for me now?"
She said coldly. Putting down her tea cup a side, Sayori slap Taichi at the cheek.
That was painful. Red finger marks were left on Taichi's face.
"I sent Kamaitachi to bring me my husband home. But that kodama is getting in my way. So I want you to buy me some time with your Shikome." She said leaning closer to the butler. "You got a problem with that?"
"I do not have a wife like you, Sayori." Not far away comes a familiar teenager's voice.
He sound disappointed and angry. Izanagi is disappointed and angry of Sayori's selfish actions.
"Oni-chan!" The cold and cruel Sayori turned into a cheerful young lady when she saw her fiance.
She ran towards Izanagi, hugging him as tight as she can. "Welcome back!"
The boy push away his fiancee harshly. Causing her to fell to the ground. "Imbecile. You think you can keep me here forever? Don't be ridiculous. I am here just to pick him up." 'Him', refers to Umeda Noe.
"Now," Eyes narrowed at Sayori. "Where is he?" The shaman ignored Izanagi's question. She look away from his eyes, unhappy of herself not being able to compared to the kodama. "Tell me!" Izanagi gets angrier of Sayori. Losing his gentlemanly manner, Izanagi grabbed her arms and starts yelling at her.
Taichi and the Kamaitachi stood there watching the two, not taking any action to stop Izanagi.
It wasn't because they think Sayori deserve this. It was Izanagi's status in the mansion is a lot higher than Sayori.
He is the true leader of Tamiya if he is not to move out from the mansion.
Sayori is heart broken for how Izanagi treat her. "All this years, I thought you will come back for me. I've been waiting and carry your responsibility for you. To take care everyone in this mansion. But why are you treating me like I'm no one? It is because of that kodama, isn't it? He is more important than your family and wife?" Gazing at Izanagi's eyes, she chuckled.
"Too bad, he will die. You can't blame me either. If you were to come back earlier, he won't be killed today."
Umeda is dead? That's a lie...was it? He really wanted to lay hands on her, but he couldn't do that to a girl.
"I still want to know where is he even you said he is dead..." he frowned looking at the butler. "Do you know where is he?"
Of course Taichi knows. But he kept quiet about it because Sayori glared at him fiercely.

Umeda wasn't a close range fighter. In fact, he preferred to fight his battles without even being seen by his enemy.
Of course... that wasn't going to work here.
"What the hell did you do with Izanagi!" he shouted, vines flying outward to entangle themselves in Shiori's strings, keeping them far enough away that they couldn't touch him. "He isn't yours! He belongs where he wants to be... and this damned cursed house isn't his choice!"
Of course, the kodama didn't strike back... blood was seeping through his fingers over his stomach and chest, and it was taking a lot of energy to keep himself standing and on the defense.
(((OOC: That's fine. Oh and 'gentlemaness' you could say 'gentlemanly manner' meaning he stopped acting like a gentleman. Losing his gentlemeness = Losing his gentlemanly manner But yeah, I just like my characters getting the crap beat out of them on occasion, hehe. Especially cocky ones.)))

"What do you mean by that? Isn't it suppose to be my line?" Shiori throw and pull her strings to cut off the vines.
Stubborn. The necromancer try to counter back what Umeda said. "He is a Tamiya. This is where he belong. You should stay out of our family business."
Of course, she knows why her cousin does not want to be here.
It wasn't because the house is cursed. It wasn't because he does not love his family too.
But there are sad things Izanagi try not to remember. Nor he want to lift up the burden and responsible of this complicated family.
Everyone knows Izanagi is the only one who never learns magic or to control spirits.
He was born a warrior inside him. The true descendant of their ancestor, Iemon.
Many spiritual creatures has been invading the mansion ever since the boy was born.
First, there was Oiwa. Later that, other spirits were lured in according to the strong spiritual power of Iemon.
Every single of them wants a piece of Iemon's soul. Since then, the mansion were surrounded by them.
Sayori, who claimed to be the most powerful shaman in the family was protecting Izanagi and everyone from the spirits.
Till now, she is doing her job. Though, in a wrong way...
Rage, blind folded the young necromancer. But she realized something has gone wrong later.
She stopped attacking Umeda when she saw him didn't strike back.
'Why would he think we did something to Izanagi nii-chan? Why are we fighting...If nii-chan isn't with him?'
Her mind starts to getting the pictures all together.
No, Shiori and Taichi did not know what is behind Sayori's plan.
They thought Umeda have Izanagi with him.
"...Are you saying, nii-chan is not with you?" She asked seriously.
The Kamikiri found an open space to attack. She dashed forward like a wind, cutting Umeda's wound with her scythe shaped claw...

Umeda smirked, "Obviously he's not with me. I'm trying to go back to him but the lot of you are being pains in my a**." the kodama replied, taking a step back. "I wouldn't bring him here. I'd NEVER bring him here..."
There was obvious rage at the mansion in Noe's voice. His entire body shivering slightly in anger.
He hated this place...
A place he had lived...
A place he had loved...
A place...
Pain flared through his body and he collapsed to his knees, coughing blood out of his mouth as the Kamikiri's claw stuck out of his upper stomach and lower chest.
"Ki... Kisama..." Umeda hissed, drawing in a shaky breath as he gripping the Kamikiri's wrist with his free hand. "Get... your ********... claw... OUT OF MY CHEST!"
A wind, strong enough to rival that of the strongest hurricane, whipped around the kodama, sending the Kamikiri flying back. But then Umeda collapsed further, onto all fours, vomiting up blood.
It hurt... not only did the pain flare through every vein, but his vision was starting to become impaired.
"Ki... Killing a... an... an already dying..." the kodama sucked in a quick breath. "spirit... makes... makes you... the worst..."

She saw Kamikiri being blown away by the dying spirit.
Perhaps she should change her target to Shikome?
There are things she does not understand. She need answers from them.
But she has to stop the fight between the two powerful spirits in order to be answered.
Shiori lured the attention by throwing three long needles at Shikome.
The Kamikiri followed her master's will. Leaving the kodama alone and started to assist Yon.
Now that makes three versus one. Shiori tied up Shikome while Yon and Kamikiri were busy distracting Shikome.
Shiori moved forward to Umeda. She take a quick glace at the injured kodama.
"I see you're still breathing." She said in a sarcastic manner.

Umeda moved until he was kneeling, throwing his head back slightly in order to make it easier to draw air in.
"Come... to... finish it?" the kodama asked before collapsing onto his back.
His chest heaved with the strain of trying to breathe. "B... bi... b***h..." he hissed, blood staining his lips.
Shiori's form was going in and out of his vision, and it was taking everything that the kodama had just to stay conscious. His healing was slow... repairing from the inside out. Which usually was great... except the blood loss was a real pain in the a**.
But he hadn't shifted to his true form.
Not yet...
Umeda was bound and determined to remain beautiful until he passed out.
After all... the spirit didn't want to die in that tiny little pathetic body...

Oh, did the the kodama passed out? For real?
Shiori thought he could stay awake longer...But, whatever!
The biggest problem now will be Shikome.
This demonic spirit will not retreat from battle unless she admits defeat.
Izanagi can tell Taichi know something.
In time like this, he will act like a leader at once.
"Why would you scared of her if she is not your leader now?" He said looking at the butler. "She can't do anything when I am here, can she?"
Those words gave Taichi enough courage to speak out the truth.
After knowing the location of Umeda, the boy and other of his 'followers' hurried to the scene.
Izanagi saw the kodama laying on the ground fulled with blood.
He call the man's name so many times but he gets no respond from him.
Yon has finished his job here.
Since the Shikome has been stopped by her own master, the kitsune make his move while no one sees him
Shiori has been told everything she needs to know on their way
back to their home.
Izanagi let the Kamaitachi to carry Umeda on their way back.
"Taichi, Shiori...I can't go back." He told the butler and youngest cousin.
Shiori doesn't want Izanagi to go. Who will be in charge in the mansion if Izanagi is to leave? "Please don't go nii-chan! I don't want to be her toy anymore." The girl whined.
She don't want to serve Sayori anymore. Now everyone knows Sayori is a liar and a murderer.
"Shiori-dono. Let's not force Izanagi-sama to stay?" Taichi hoped Shiori could understand that forcing someone to stay isn't going to make anyone happy.
"I promise I'll come back to visit sometimes...But I will be staying in the temple temporarily. I know he don't like this place at all. Same like me..." Izanagi said staring at the passed out kodama.
When Umeda wake up, he will be inside his own room...

Umeda didn't remember much...
He heard Izanagi calling his name, but the amount of energy it took to just keep himself alive was preventing him from acknowledging the young man.
Then, he was whisked away somewhere on something...
By about the time that he finally did release his consciousness... well... his body shifted into the true form of a kodama, though with a pale color that was far too unhealthy.
Not to mention he was splattered with blood.
Umeda didn't even know where he was... but when his abyssal black eyes opened... he was in his human form again... somehow...
And he felt the power of the sakura.
"Doko... desu ka?" Umeda whispered, to no one in particular.
(((OOC: He wasn't unconscious. I was just stating that he wouldn't transform into his true form unless he were unconscious. But, he can't really reply to anything since he's only semi-aware of what's going on.)))

(( crying my mistake...))
That night, Matsuo followed the clone of Izanagi.
He hold Mimi in his arms, watching as the clone walked into the house from a roof.
That red eyes of his reflecting like ruby under the moonlight. It gives people chill.
"Stupid clone doesn't even remember to feed Mimi! Oiwa-sama? Do you think we should kill that clone?" Hanami asked angrily.
Brushing Mimi's fur, Matsuo smirked at the suggestion.
"Let it live. It will be troublesome if Izanagi vanished all of a sudden."
He said devilishly and then smiling like a child in a blink of an eye. "But then Mimi will be under my care. Let's go home now Mimi. My 'parents' will be hungry now."
He has been taking care of Umeda with Hakase and other priests.
Hoping Umeda will fully recover one day. They feed the kodama sakura sap every two hours like Hakase told.
It has been four days...Izanagi did not go to school. He wonder if he still can catch up with it.
But, Umeda is more important now. The Kamaitachi stays with Izanagi. Being the boy's bodyguard while Umeda is still under recovery.
It is time to feed Umeda some sap again. Izanagi take a small bottle from the cabinet which is full of sakura sap.
He sits beside the sleeping kodama and was surprise to hear him speaking.
"Umeda-san?" The boy put down the bottle and grab Umeda's hand. "It's Seimeijinja. Your home, Umeda-san!"
This is good news. Izanagi order Kamaitachi to inform Hakase about this. He is so happy that he is crying...

Blinking slowly, it took Umeda a few moments to figure out that Izanagi was the one speaking.
"Wha... what happened?" the kodama asked, immediately trying to sit up.
Bad idea.
He couldn't help the scream which escaped his lips, collapsing back to the futon in sheer agony. It felt like someone had shoved two or three katana's through his stomach and chest. If he could see beneath the bandages, he'd have known that it would probably scar for a while.
Eventually though... even those scars would fade.
If he lived long enough.
"Kisama..." Umeda hissed, coughing harshly which only caused gasps of pain. "I'm gonna rip that b***h's head off if I ever see her again!"
Obviously he was awake now...
And pissed.

He was shocked to see the kodama wanted to sit up on his own.
The scream of pain made the boy jumped. "Stay down..."
Izanagi didn't say anything about that "I'm gonna rip that b***h's head off if I ever see her again!" comment.
"Who is going to rip off who?" Shiori walked in from the outside holding some food on her hand. "Told you we shouldn't come. Humph!" She said to the peoples who show up later.
It wasn't just Shiori only to visit Umeda and Izanagi. Taichi and Yon are here too.
They have brought medicines for the kodama.
"Now, now Shiori, it was your suggestion to pay this rusty kodama a visit." Yon expose the truth.

Hissing, black eyes focused on Shiori and Yon and Taichi. "Wrong b***h." the kodama replied, confused as to why the three were there. "You're the enemy... well, not you," he indicated Yon with one lithe hand.
"God, I'm going to kick Hakase for letting you two in here... AND, the b***h I'm going to kill, is little miss 'controls the dead'." Umeda spoke before coughing slightly, gripping the futon in pain as his chest shuddered with the strain.
"Kuso... Izanagi, help me sit up..." the spirit half ordered, gaze focusing on the boy. "Onegai?"
