Chapter 7
"Ungaikyō! I'm back! Are you here?" Kamaitachi called out, looking around the area near the big maple tree.
"Yeah..up here.." Ungaikyō said, waving slightly to Kamaitachi. He was sitting under the big maple tree, looking into his mirror.
"Anything is fine right now. Oh and I learned his name, it's Madoka"
"..Learned one thing about him..progress.."
"What are you looking at?" Kamaitachi asked curiously, walking over and looking at the mirror. It was Momiji looking scary, probably training. Regardless it scared Kamaitachi while Ungaikyō didn't bothered in the slightest. "Y-You have weird tastes in people you know?!"
"What makes you think I'm interested in him..Anyways, why not just disguise yourself..you know..try to appear human and just wandered in here on accident..?"
"Disguise myself...Alright, I'll give it a shot! Thanks Ungaikyō. Oh yeah, here's the ramen, I made it since Kyuubi-no-kitsune as usual won't make any" Kamaitachi handed him a bowl of ramen that was wrapped.
"Thanks.." he said quietly, taking the bowl. "..Good luck talking to that human..."
"Yeah, I'll tell you how it goes"
With that Kamaitachi took off the find some way to disguise himself. Hopefully Madoka would fall for the disguise. But if he did, wouldn't he have his memories wiped and sent back to the human world? If things seemed to be going down that way he'd reveal himself to avoid that.
. . .
Onibi had helped him with some sort of disguise, which was just a cloak to cover his weasel ears and tail. It wasn't much but maybe it'd be enough to work.
As he walked down the path leading to the Katanashu station, he kept adjusting the cloak. He felt so nervous, what if this didn't work? No he had to stay confident. But he couldn't seem to calm his nerves.
As he approached the station he noticed Madoka. Walking right to him. He pulled the cloaks hood down, blushing lightly. Did he think he was a human? Was he going to make sure he wasn't harmed or anything? Or ask how he got there?
As they got closer, Kamaitachi got more and more nervous until suddenly Madoka grabbed his arm and pulled him close. The weasel yokai blushed at the action.
"What are you trying to pull? Disguising yourself like this. This won't make sneaking past us easier you know?" Madoka said with a small grin.
"I..." he couldn't get any words out. "U-Umm.."
Madoka stared at him, expecting some kind of answer or excuse from him. But when he got no answer, he began pulling him by the arm toward the station.
"H-Hey! Don't just pull me!" Kamaitachi said, pulling his arm away. "What kind of person suddenly drags someone?"
"Well you weren't answering me, so why not take you to the station for questioning?"
"What is this, an interrogation?! Fine if you want to know so badly, I was trying to find a way to talk to-"
"Talk to?"
"U-Uh.." he didn't want to say he disguised himself just to try talking to him. "Talk to Momiji..!"
"...That's all? Why not talk to him when he goes to that ramen stand?"
"Can't I just come visit him or something?"
"Whatever..I'm not even going to bother asking about the cloak. Go see him then, he should be in his room. Find it on your own" Madoka shrugged, walking away.
Kamaitachi sighed in relief, he was glad he got the chance to talk to him. If only it was more of a casual talk. Still to not seem suspicious he went into the station and began looking around for Momiji's room.
There wasn't anyone who could help him in the halls except a few Shikigami. It took him a few minutes but eventually found Momiji's room. He knocked on the door, a minute passed before the Katanashu opened the door. Obviously he was confused as to why Kamaitachi was there.
"Kamaitachi?"
"I'll explain, so can I come in?"
Without saying anything else, Momiji let Kamaitachi walk into the room and closed the door. They sat down and he listened as the weasel yokai explained everything.
"You like Madoka? I can't say much about him. He's basically like Kasane and Uta, not doing their duties in the slightest" Momiji said. He didn't seem to surprised about Kamaitachi admitting how he liked the blond Katanashu.
"I don't know why I can't bring myself to say anything to him. It's like I know what to say but can't get the words out!"
"Can't help you there. Why don't you just tell him how you feel..or try hanging out with him"
"How am I supposed to do that? Didn't you hear what I just said about not being able to talk around him"
He just shrugged, he didn't know anything for the love department. So all he could do is try and suggest things. Whether or not he takes those suggestions is up to him.
Little did either know was that Ungaikyō was watching their interaction through his mirror.
. . .
"Fuuka..." Ungaikyō muttered. Reaching into his mirror he pulled out the Shikigami he had taken from Momiji's room when he wasn't looking. It moved around trying to get away. "I guess it still has its orders to be fulfilled..."
He watched as the Shikigami continued trying to get free. It wouldn't attack him since that wasn't the orders it had gotten. From what he knew, it was supposed to be helping organize things. He already tried giving it new orders but it wouldn't listen to him. It'd only listen to Momiji.
"Maybe...I can return it to him..give me a reason to interact with him..But I doubt I can bring myself to.." he continued to mutter, placing the Shikigami back into his mirror.
Leaning back against the tree, he looked up to the sky. Eventually he and Momiji would have to fight. They were enemies. Momiji scared him, more than any other Katanashu. Even when he was a child he scared him.
"This time..I won't hold back. He's not a child anymore....I need a nap"
He closed his eyes and relaxed himself. Slowly falling asleep as he thought about his past, to when he first met Momiji.

"Pretty..."

Was he really pretty to him..?
