Journey to the underworld

Nanami was not the only one to freeze in the room. Onikeri and Kotetsu were too petrified. They started at the same time. "Master Tomoe, Lady Nanami is new. She doesn't know the rules. You have to stay here to help here to get her ready as the land goddess. She is new to this duty and no one but you can help her." " Lord Mikage has transferred her the powers but not me. If the Lady is tired she can herself abandon this place and bring the original owner here. Till then I won't return. And.." he said looking directly into Nanami's eyes, " Miss Nanami is a fragile girl. How can she in all the people in the world possibly become a goddess? Girls like her are only useful in the kitchen and the bed." " TOMOE!!!! How dare you! I have only being listening to this stupidity just because I thought you are a good yokai with a good heart. But you are the only one in this room who has no heart. I am not just a thing that anyone can use and throw on the bed or in the kitchen. I am just a helpless girl who needs time to heel all my wounds and now that I am the master of this shrine I don't want someone like you to destroy the holiness with such vulgar thoughts."

"Who wants to be here with you ? I am leaving this shrine and keep this in mind that you were never welcome here and you will never be my master." Saying this Tomoe vanished into thin air. "Does he always have a temper like that?" "No Miss Nanami, he is very gentle from the time he became a familiar. He used to miss the presence of Lord Mikage. But My Lady we have to bring him back because if the familiar is not around,the shrine will be attacked by the negative forces." " Ok Onikeri, I understand your feelings. But do you expect me to listen to all the worse things just because he thinks that I am character less? Well I don't have the patience to listen to someone who doesn't know me pointing out to my character. Where can we find that fox?" Kotetsu replied, "He must have gone to the underworld. That's the only place where he can go. But only we will go there. My Lady,you must have a good rest and eat your food." "I want to come and help you. I will drag that rascal by his collar and bring him here. He will accept my lordship then, won't he?" Onikeri blushed and said, "You have to seal the contract first." "I will do that but what do I have to do for that?" "Well..." " Onikeri reply to me soon." "If you were a God you would had to defeat him with your powers but you are a human and a girl so you have to kiss him and seal the contract." "Kiss!!! Now that is something out of the box. but I will convince him and ask him to become my familiar. Now let's go to the underworld."
