The Goddess's Crow and Oni (Sequel to 'The Crow's Goddess')

Going to Izumo and A New Face (Part 2)

Melody POV:

I sat in my seat and reading 'Ripper's Bride' (made it up), waiting for the flight to take off. Nozomi, Akira, and Yasu were sleeping around me on the floor. First class was more like lounging room.

" Master Kirihito, I think we're early!" a loud voice said.

"We got here five minutes before the flight takes off. We're on time, Monjiro." another voice said.

Wait... Monjiro... That's the name of the guy that bumped into Nanami yesterday.

I look up from my book and see...

The three boys from yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Master Kirihito!!!!!!!!" Monjiro shouted as he pointed at me.

The red eyed boy, Kirihito, looked at me and smiled. "Well, this is a surprise, isn't it?" Kirihito asked as he took the seat from across me.

I glare at him and say, "Yes it is, an unpleasant surprise."

"Now let's not bite at each other's throats." Kirihito said as his smile grew.

"This a pleasant idea." I said with a smirk.

"How cruel. But, I should introduce myself, I am Kirihito Mori. These are my servants, Monjiro," pointing at the green haired boy. "And Kikuich." pointing to the long black haired boy.

"Nice to meet you. I am Melody Momozono-" I was cut off by Kikuichi.

"You are Melody Momzono! The one that painted 'Akura-ou's Return'?!" He screamed.

"Yes?" I answered.

"Well, you have exquisite art skills, Melody." Kirihito said with a closed eye smile.

"Thank you," I said staring at Monjiro and Kikuichi. "And these two are shikigami, are they not?" I ask.

They froze for a second and Kirihito asks, "H-How do you know that?"

"Akira, Nozomi, Yasu, woke up." I said.

The triplets jumped on to my seat and stared at the boys. They growl at the boys and they stiffened.

"H-How on earth d-did you get three?" Monjiro asked.

"Rare Shikigami egg." I answered. "Down girls." The triplets then calmed down but kept their eyes on the boys.

"Well," Kirihito said before leaning forward a bit in his seat. "You just full of surprises, aren't you Melody?"

I glare at him then turn back to my book, But I lifted my dress skirt a little to show him my knives that were strapped onto my thigh. "Be warned," I said pulling my dress skirt back down.

"Oh, don't worry, I am now." Kirihito said, I could hear the smirk in his tone.

This guy rubs me the wrong way...

Tomoe POV:

Damn it, Nanami.

Passing me over to go alone with the damn snake, and for a whole week at that. A whole week, alone with that snake... How could she go on that trip so nonchalantly?! Melody maybe with her, but she with be very busy... That bastard once attacked her.

Flashback of Mizuki hugging Nanami's stomach.

And just the other day, she was bawling about having feeling for me.

Realization hit me and I shook my head furiously.

What ridiculous nonsence... It does not matter...
