Chapter 2: ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

The sun rises, and at the back of the Inn, Oboro can be seen standing under the waterfall, letting the water hit her as she meditated.

She was preparing herself for praying to the previous Dragon God. So that her lord, and brother, will be guarded and be kept away from harm.

She doubt it though, that "Demon King" really enjoyed "training" her lord, sometimes little Alice would watch and just laugh.

He really isn't a good influence.

As for who is the "Demon King" she referred to, its none other than Alexander Gremory. Apparently, the news of his "rampage" during the war between East and West spread throughout Japan.

Hearing that, Genshiro got even more spirited to train under him, and he suffered a lot as a result.

Speaking of Alex, Oboro haven't made any progress with him. When she heard about Alex, she immediately targeted him.

Her wish is similar to Genshiro, to strengthen the Ryuuga clan. Then, if she had the child of the "Demon King" they don't have to worry about Hexagram.

However, it was hard, she couldn't even get close to him due to his wife. Every time she had these thoughts of being intimate with Alex, Emi would immediately glare at her.

Oboro has no choice but to retreat. That person is scary.

"Oboro huh, what are you doing here?"

Oboro opened her eyes and looked at the one who called her. She left the waterfall went to take a towel to wipe herself.

"Ameno huh, I asked Nakai about a place where I could cleanse myself and she told me about this. Apparently the landlady personally made this waterfall herself, it cleanses whoever bathe here of impurities. It might because of this that the Hollows did not appear near the Inn, because this water can purify them."

Sagiri remained and just glared at her, "It seems like you have been getting more and more used to living in the Inn. But remember, this doesn't mean that I will ever welcome the likes of you..."

Oboro looked at Sagiri's expression, it was cold, she really means what she says. Oboro was sure that if she made one wrong move, Sagiri won't hesitate to pull out her sword and attack.

She sighed, "Well that's given, seeing as I could've killed you if I wanted to."

Sagiri's eye twitched, that incident was rather embarrassing for her. She did not take the opponent seriously, she did not equip her Ninja Outfit or even her Katana.

For a ninja, that carelessness was not acceptable.

"....That goes both ways." She sighed, "But I'm not the type of person that's willing to drag that bit of enmity out forever. Besides, Alexander already accepted you and that man."

"Is that so? Then what's exactly are you unhappy about me?" Oboro looked at her with a confused look, "...All I want to do is to make a baby with Alexander."

"THAT'S THE PART I DON'T LIKE!" Sagiri screamed as her cheeks reddened. "You always tried to "attack" Alex no matter where you are! If it wasn't for Emi stopping you then you would've already pushed him down! Seriously, if you want to live here then please at least moderate your behavior to fit the human world!"

"...Moderation.." Oboro appeared to be in thought, "...It seems to be something I lack. I will definitely remember that...thank you."

Sagiri blinked, "You're...surprisingly straightforward person."

Oboro just hummed. She has been learning things from other people so that she make Alexander agree to have a baby with her.

"...Speaking of which, how are your relationship with males Ameno?"

Sagiri blushed, "W-What are you talking about!? Alex already has a daughter! And a wife!"

Oboro raised an eyebrow but shook her head, "No, I wasn't actually talking about Alexander, I meant males in particular. Why would you even think about Alexander?"

Sagiri forced her blush to go away as she also began to think, 'Right, why was I even thinking about him in the first place. First with Urara, and now with Oboro too. Every time someone mentioned a male I always think about him...just what is wrong with me?'

"Ameno? Are you listening?"

Sagiri finally snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Oboro, she blinks and looked at her, "W-What is it?"

Oboro raised a brow, "I'm asking you about your relationship with males."

Sagiri didn't react much and just thought about it. "My relationship with males huh. Well, aside from the males in the Inn I haven't really had much contact with them."

Oboro raised an eyebrow, for her, Sagiri is a very beautiful girl, she should have some experience with males right?

Sagiri continued, "I've been in an all-girls school up until two years ago. Also, there's just so many weak men, one slight glare from me and they scatter around like spiderlings..."

She turned around and clenched her fist in frustration, "I...I'm just not used in dealing with men, so I automatically take up an offensive stance against them."

Oboro just hummed, "Weak men are no good."

Sagiri turned and faced her, "So you really won't be getting anything from me. Try someone else."

"Hmm, I shall do that. See you," Oboro then turned around and walked away, "And I thought that with Ameno's caliber of beauty means you would be very well liked by men. Hmm, this is proving to be difficult."

Sagiri's ears seemingly enlarged when she heard Oboro's words. My Caliber of Beauty. My Caliber of Beauty. My Caliber of Beauty. Those words seems to echo in the area.

With a smile, she turned towards Oboro who was now quite a distance away. 'Oboro...seems like you might not be such a bad person after all.'

Shaking her head to rid of those thoughts, she proceed to prepare herself before meditating.

Ever since she was young, she was taught that meditation helps in controlling Spirit Energy, and cleanses your soul.

And her grandmother who trains her always brought her to a waterfall to meditate.

Ever since then, she develop a habit of going under the waterfall to meditate.

However, before she could start, she suddenly saw a crow flying towards her. She frowned, with her eyesight, she can see something on the legs of the crow.

She raised her arm, as the crow landed on it. She saw a small scroll tied up to its legs. With a sigh, she took it.

It was a message from her clan.

She wondered why can't they just use a phone? Did she buy one only for decorations? Well, not really, she at least has the contact number of Urara and everyone in the Inn.

She unrolled the scrolled and began to read it. After awhile, she sighed and took out a pen from her storage ring, wrote a reply, folded it and put it back on the crow again.

"Send it back to Obaa-sama, please." She said to the crow, as it released a "caw" before flying away.

She stood there, staring at the sky with a serious expression. Her grandmother and grandfather were calling her back.

It seems like this strange case of Hollow appearance has gotten serious to the point that the Gotei 13 decided to put a city-scale bounded field and confront them.

And the Chuuma Ninjas along with the weaker members of Gotei 13 are assigned to keep the ordinary humans from harm.

After all, the bounded field they'll set up probably won't be enough and might affect the outside world. After all, several Transcendental will fight there.

She was asked to return before the Chuuma Village Festival and will be informed there.

"...." She was blushing.

Yes, her grandparents also ask her if she can bring Alex back and request for help. After all, the news about the "Demon King" and his "Demonic Army" was already well known in the supernatural world.

And for some reason, Sagiri, Yaya, Nonko, Suzuno, and Yuuna were thought to be member of said army.

"Sigh...this is a mess. I don't think Alex will agree. He'll probably just say "No way, that will be troublesome, I want to stay here and play with Alice" or something like that."

Well, she won't know unless she tried. After thinking about it for awhile, she decided to ask him.

But first, she went under the waterfall to meditate. It took her a several hours before she finally stopped, it was already noon then, she can really forget about the time when she's meditating.

It was a bit hot, but she ignored it and dried herself.

After that, with a puff of smoke, she changed her clothes and went back to the Inn.

She looked around for Alex and saw him just laying down on his stomach on the floor in front of a fan in the dining room. His daughter was doing the same, laying on her stomach beside her father, facing the electric fan with a blissful expression.

"Mn?" Alex seems to notice her as he lazily turned his head towards her.

"Mn?" Alice followed her papa and also lazily turned her head towards her, before she smiled, "Sa-neecha!"

Sagiri smiled at Alice before looking at Alex with a serious expression. "Alexander Gremory, do you have something to do this weekend?"

Alex raised an eyebrow. What is she talking about? He's always free, he's mostly staying in the Inn with nothing better to do, so of course he doesn't have something to do this weekend....now that he thought about it, isn't he turning into a NEET already? That's not good. He go out more...in the future...not now....but definitely....surely...he will go out...just not now.

"No, I don't think so, why?"

Sagiri took a deep breath, her cheeks were dyed as red as Emi's hair.

"A-A-Alexander Gremory! Can you accompany me home to meet my family?"

Alex blinks.

Alice tilted her head.

"....Huh?"
