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

Working and Sister's Second Confession (Part 1)

Melody POV:

"Ah, I feel alive again!" my sister called out as she ate her food. "I didn't have anything to eat or drink for two days, so I really appreciate the choice of rice porridge. I guess you've made arrangements for us to have a room while we were gone, Mizuki."

Mizuki was gloomy and sat next to Nanami congratulations flowers.

I stayed in my Yōkai form, I feel more comfortable in it now.

"It killing me. I was here to accompanying you two, and yet... I couldn't even come rushing to your aid when you need me." Mizuki said. Then he clinged onto Nanami and said, "Grind this good-for-nothing familiar under your boot all you want!"

"Gladly." I said with an evil smirk.

Mizuki saw it and he got scared.

"Stop joking. Where's Tomoe?" Nanami asks.

"Yeah, where is Tomo-nii?" I ask.

"He brought us back here, which means he's still in Izumo, right?" Nanami asks.

"Maybe out for a walk?" Mizuki said as he stood up with his hands behind his head.

"Okay.I know it's only been a couple of days, but it feels like a month." Nanami said.

Then reality hit us.

"Mizuki! What day of the Divine Assenbly is it?!" we scream.

"Is um-" Mizuki started.

"It's the fourth day, ladies!" I heard his voice.

Then the room was fill with orange smoke and Okuninushi came in on a throne.

"I'd grown tired of waiting, my ladies. You did well to return to the great Okuninushi one day late day, my darling little girls. Just as I expected." he said holding up a rose as rabbits fanned him...

Moron...

"Okuninushi! he brought a throne?" Nanami asked.

I stood behind Nanami as she was on the floor.

"I have already heard of your deeds in the Netherworld. In fact, the phone on my desk has been ringing off the hook with complaint after complaint." Okuninushi said.

"I-I am sorry!" Nanami said as she bowed her head.

"All is well." Okuninushi said. He then turned the rose into the Lucky Mallet. "And poof. After all, my missing Lucky Mallet has returned to me as well. So, I'll overlook your tardiness as a thank you."

Then he got serious. "However... Tomoe's actions upon using the Lucky Mallet to reduce himself as a Yōkai were deeply reprehensible. He'll be kept in the east prison for now."

HE...

DID...

WHAT...?!

"What?" Nanami asked in shock.

"Leave it to me to deal with Tomoe. You go devote yourselves to your duties at the Divine Assembly." Okuninushi said.

"What?! He in prison?! Why would you put him in there?!" Nanami demanded.

I grabbed the collar of Okuninushi's kimono and said, "You better have a good damn reason to why you put my brother in there. Or, well, I hope you know a good plastic surgeon." I said with a death glare and black aura.

"H-He is n-no longer a f-familiar. With the b-bond of the c-contract undone, he has r-reverted to a d-dangerous wild fox. I-I can n-not allow him to run l-loose." Okuninushi stuttered out, in fear.

Nanami then burst-ed out of the room and ran to the east prison.

"Do you mean to go see the wild fox, Lady Nanami? I must say I would advise you against-"

"I think she's too far away to hear you..." Mizuki said, cutting off Okuninushi.

My srimk grew bigger, along with my aura.

The two boys stiffed and turned to face me.

I cracked my knuckles and said, "Mizuki, please take all the rabbits and leave. NOW."

"Yes, ma'am!" Mizuki said and ran out with the rabbits.

"Now," I said looking at a frighten Okuninushi. "I think I owe you something for not gving me a good reason." I brought out my claws.

Elsewhere...

"Maybe I can get-" Nanami started.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MELODY, LET ME LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE, HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Okuninushi's screams of agony were heard through out the entire shrine.

"W-What was that?!" Nanami asked with a hint of fear.

Tomoe smiled and said, "There's the little sister I remember. Melody must be beating the living shit out Okuninushi."

"Oh dear..." Nanami said.

Melody POV:

After sending Okuninushi to the Medicine God, I got to work. And I have...

The entire world load of talismans to do in four days...

Yay...

Late that night...

Tomoe had kissed Nanami and now needed to kiss Melody.

He hovered over his sister and gently kissed her on the lips, like they did when they were younger.

Melody stirred and opened her eyes to see Tomoe kissing her. A purple glow quickly flashed around them.

Melody grabbed Tomoe shoulders and pushed him away. "Tomo-nii, what the hell?!" she whispered/yelled.

He smiled and asked, "Remember when we were kids? We used to do kiss each other all the time, even before you died..."

Melody did a quick memory recall and she saw all the times the did kiss.

"Oh yeah..." Melody said with blush crawling on her cheeks.

He smirked and quickly pecked her lips. "See you in the morning, little Miki."

"I'm so glad that you returned to being a familiar!" Nanami shouted in excitement. "You really did come to our room, didn't you?"

"You were awake?" Tomo-nii asked.

"No. I dreamed about it." Nanami went all shy like, "And in the dream, you kinda kissed me."

"Never mind that! You must eat now!" Tomoe said as he shoved a bowl in her face. "Breakfast is rice porridge with your favorite shiitake!"

"Wha?!" Nanami freaked.

"I made should to tell the chef that shiitake mushrooms are your absolute favorite food." Tomo-nii said with a smirk.

This is going to be a long week...
