Izanagi doesn't like Umeda talk bad about his friend...But he liked the way Umeda care about him. "That's not very nice..." He said to the kodama.
The boy won't give up the idea of going to school. He want to meet his friends. It's been too long since the last time he hanged out with Hanami and the twins. "I do not want to argue with you, Umeda-san, but I am going to school." Izanagi said to the kodama and turned to look at his parents. "I had decided. One, two, five, six. Any objection?" He meant Monday, Tuesday, Friday and extra classes on Saturday for every two weeks.
"Ka-san, can I borrow Suseri-hime since Umeda thinks protecting me in school is a pain in the a**?" The boy asked his mother to lend her shikigami to him. Suseri is actually a vengeful god's daughter of Susanoo from the Yomi, whom claimed to be the wife of Prince Onamuji, also known as the Great Land master, Okuninushi, the descendant of Susanoo, the ruler of sea and storms. In the Yamato tradition and mythology, it was said that Suseri has a scarf that is able to protect anyone from dangerous threat, including the deadly hell fire. Izanagi...has already know about Suseri-hime for a long time.
The priest smiled at her son. "Ahh~ If your friend isn't going to help then of course Iza-chan..." She takes a deep breathe and summons her shikigami. The elegant princess revealed herself to the boy and greeted him with manner. "It's good to see you again Izanagi-sama. I shall protect you by all means."
Izanagi nodded slightly to the princess and smiled. "It's good to see you again too." Right now, Umeda can choose to be mad and do nothing or change his mind to protect this unreasonable kid....

The darkness of Umeda's eyes seemed to swirl for a moment before the man turned his head to the side and issued a retort of 'tsk'.
Digging into his pocket, he produced his cigarettes. Taking one out, the kodama lit it up and took a puff.
"Guess I should expect a kid like you to not understand." turning his gaze on Iazanagi, and completely ignoring both the kid's parents and Suseri, the spirit spoke again. "You're a pain in the a**, Izanagi. You know that, right? I'd really rather NOT nearly die again. I mean, if I'm gonna die then lets just get it over with and save everyone the trouble. But this near death crap's getting old fast." he sighed, obviously at war with his instincts about that school...
About that one friend...
"I'll be around. Better to have two protectors anyway. Besides, if Suseri-hime here can protect against hell fire... all the better for me. Fire's a damn b***h anyway." he took another puff.
It was obvious that Umeda wanted to protect Izanagi.
He just preferred to do it on his own terms... and turf if that could be helped.

The boy knew Umeda wouldn't just give up so easily. He let the kodama do whatever he wants with his own terms while the other hand, he will have Suseri to help to decrease the burden for the nature spirit.
With these powerful spirits, the boy is almost indestructible, untouchable, invincible. He is not afraid of harm from the outside, but the one from the inside. Iemon...
Kojiro has been keeping quiet all the while when his son planned to use Suseri as his other protector. He is thinking...WHY?
He couldn't understand why Izanagi chose Suseri-hime in this situation. Why is the boy trying to protect the kodama? Why the kodama protecting his boy? And WHAT is going on between this two? It is obviously Izanagi had already expected the kodama's respond.
The Izanagi he knew wasn't like this. He was always clumsy, silly, mentally weak, slow, reasonable, obedient, lovely and considerate. But today, everything seems contrary in Izanagi. He fear that Izanagi could turn into something else...something bad...
Guess my son has grown up and knows well what he is doing? He thought. Kojiro stays optimistic towards the changes in his son. Besides, he think that Izanagi's plan is not a bad one either as he agreed it silently.
"I see why you choose Suseri-hime." Kojiro said with the cigarette still emo hanging on his lips. He smiled to the elegant deity and she also smiled back to him with a slight nodded, meaning she understands that Kojiro is asking her to protect Izanagi properly as she transformed into a purple large scarf and wrap around Izanagi's body and becomes invisible to everyone.
"Yosh! I will start preparing dinner for everyone. You may go take some rest now Iza-chan. I will call you when dinner is ready." Yurika stood and walk back to the kitchen after that...
The boy yawned and look at the kodama with a smile on his face. "I'm going to take a nap." He told the kodama and then walk upstairs to his own room.
Now there is only Kojiro and the kodama being in the living hall. Korjiro wanted to ask Umeda many questions but he does not know how to start the conversation. The father continues smoking without saying anything.

Strangely, Umeda didn't say anything. He just nodded to Izanagi, knowing that in his own house, the kid couldn't get into too much trouble.
Of course there was that business with Yomi...
But right now, it seemed to the kodama, that there were other just as pressing issues at hand.
Sighing, Noe took a pull from his cigarette, letting the smoke out slowly before glancing, just out of the corner of his eye, at the boy's father.
"You're a bundle of questions right now, aren't you?" the spirit asked, sensing the slight agitation or perhaps confusion from the man. "Ask away, you I don't promise I'll answer everything."
After all, there were some things that a kodama just had to keep secret.

Okay...Korjiro thought inwardly, looking at the kodama with a quirked eyebrow. Since Umeda said it...
The man take down the cigarette from his lips and put it on the ashtray. "Hmm..." He think for a while..."So, how did you two met? Since when? Where did you two go? For how long? Uhm, what happened?" Yeah...Maybe those questions will get him the answer he want.

(((Hahahaha. WELL I bought a PSP this weekend and I've been playing Crisis Core so... yeah... -fangirl sweatdrop- I want to get the Japanese version so I can listen to GACKT and Toshiyuki Morikawa and Kazuhiko Inoue and all the other good seiyuu... but it's kind of expensive. US Version - $9 in store / JAPANESE Version - like $50 on ebay. I did just buy Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, but even the US Version of that was only $27... BUT Yeah, I'm cosplaying Genesis. I can't help it. He's just too damn awesome. So glad I spent the 4mil gaia gold on that One Winged Soldier item, hehehe.)))

(((Seeing how the designers designed him after GACKT, then yeah... I've seen GACKT dressed as a woman and he still looks damn fine... I don't know if that should frighten me or not... BUT... Yeah I could always download a JP ISO of Crisis Core (easy to find on the net)... but I kinda wanna have it, you know? But then again, I have the ENG one and I mean so technically I own it... and I just want the JP one so I can have the seiyuu voices... -sigh- So complicated. Kingdom Hearts wasn't too expensive... like $30 New, $27 Used. So I got the used one. Dissidia and Dissidia 012 though are kinda pricey. I'll have to wait to get those, hehe.
Oh and I'm still re-reading things. With Easter break this last weekend, I wasn't on the computer so I haven't been able to finish re-reading. I should have a post up though before the end of the week at the latest!)))

Blinking in surprise at the amount of questions, the kodama nodded, "Well... lets start with the basics, shall we?"
He pulled an empty can from the table and used it as an ash tray, holding it in one hand where he stood.
"I met your son because someone told me Iemon was alive. Naturally I got drunk and when I was sober again, found myself drawn to your son's school. He was hanging out with three spirits... Oiwa's spirits, to be precises. A few of her lackies sent to protect Izanagi til he turned seventeen." Stepping away from the wall, Umeda began to pace slowly as he talked.
"It wasn't long ago that I met him. Course then I told him I wanted to place a binding spell on him, to keep Iemon from surfacing because he was showing signs of possession. We went to Kyoto, where I technically live, and aside from me nearly dying to protect him on the train... well..." the kodama smirked slightly, shaking his head. "You'll have to ask him what happened because I'm still not completely sure of it myself. Just seems this Sayori chick has royally screwed things up. He may tell you more than he told me." turning around, Umeda's black eyes focused on the man. "But I got a bit of an upgrade... mainly I don't burst into flames with a spark gone wrong anymore, which is nice for a smoker." he laughed slightly at that.
But then he let the cigarette fall into the empty can and set it down. "You two are versed in the ways... so tell me. Why was I the one who had to bind Iemon from taking over YOUR son's soul... and not you, hmm?"

The man is listening carefully to what the kodama says. Informations...important ones. He is not worry about the three spirits his son is hanging out with. Kojiro can understand why Oiwa place her lackeys by Izanagi's side. But automatically, it makes him wonder. What kind of spirits are they?
The information about Iemon is surfacing doesn't surprise him as well. He already knew that. But wasn't expecting so soon.
When Umeda spoken of Sayori, the shaman shows a slightly unhappy expression on the spot. That girl...is a dark shaman. Dangerous and sickening. However, seeing Izanagi and Umeda both came back safely, he assume everything is alright. He kept quiet and continue listening to the kodama.
Korjiro's eyes focused at the empty can when Umeda sets it down. And then he looked up to the spirit. "Versed?" Chuckled, he changed to a more comfortable sitting pose. "You think we never tried?" The man sighed, lowering his head. "Do you know why it has to be you?" He ask the spirit.
"You should know why. All this fuss has a link to the past. Of you, and Iemon. Basically, Iemon, Oiwa and you created this mess. Just in case you do not know one of the reason, let me tell you then." He point at the spirit. "YOU, your existence is the key of Iemon's awakening. Simple as that." Korjiro shrugged and continue say, "Hey, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to push the responsibility to you. Think about it. The moment you meet my son, he is still just a normal boy who is able to see spirits. But after that, Iemon is surfacing." The man is starting to seem annoyed for some reason now.

Laughing darkly at the comment, Umeda shook his head, "You think I caused this? This original fiasco, I mean?" his laughter was both of humor at the mere notion... and anger at the idea of it all.
"Baka." he replied, black eyes focusing on the man. "Do you think it's fun to watch someone you love go mad?" the kodama asked, tilting his head to the side in a near otherwordly fashion. "Fun to see them tormented day and night by haunted visions? Can you even fathom what it feels like to see them struck down by another... and you yourself can't save them because it will only mean a never ending madness?"
As he had talked, Umeda had walked forward until he was standing imposingly right before Izanagi's father.
"You're a fool to think it was easy... I loved him. Sure, the stories don't officially mention me but I loved him so deeply that his betrayal hurt. But I couldn't bring myself to kill him. I couldn't use my own pity for the poor b*****d to strike him down!"
Umeda licked dry lips and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"I don't ever want to see him again, Korjiro-san. If I can seal him away. For good. Then I can die happy. So excuse me for wanting to find the mortal vessel housing his damned spirit... and for me wanting to make sure it never sees the light of day again."
(((OOC: BTW are you meaning Kojiro or maybe Korojiro (or Korajiro or Korujiro or Korejiro or Korijiro or even Koujiro) or something cause you can't just have a random 'r' there by itself in a Japanese name. Kojiro is a name though... actually it's the name of a Pokemon character (one of the Rocket members, called James in the US).)))

(( It's Kojiro...Sorry if I inserted an extra 'R' before........ -____________- ))
Kojiro can understand why the kodama is talking to him like that. The spirit is angry, and feels guilty but not admitting it at the same time.
As a father, the shaman doesn't like his own son being treated as some useful tool.
"Are you saying you are just using my son as a vessel to seal Iemon? So he is a tool, to you. I see you are still confused about Iemon, the past and Izanagi. You may be die happy to know Iemon will be sealed inside my son's body till the end. But also, you will be sorry for taking advantage of his innocent and feeling towards you for granted."
