"Me? An Earth Guardian?!" I yell.
"Yup~ Anyways, stop freaking out. They will not hurt you. Well, as long as your parents were good~!" She says with a smirk.
"My parents...?" I say with a frightened face.
"Yup you heard it right! If your parents were loyal to the supernaturals you will stay alive, but... if your parents are not..." Kumiko says with a dark face.
"Okay, okay!! say no more...l-lets go!" I say trying to sound confident. I wouldn't be scared if my parents were good people. Well, it is not like I'm better than them. Honestly, it might be better this way...after all, I am-
"Okay, we are here!" Says Kumiko cheerfully but her eyes are telling me she is worried. I did not even notice she had to teleport us to the Youkai palace.
After walking through a garden of wilting flowers called "The Garden of the Dead" We reach a shining white, pearly gate, its atmosphere was very light and bright. We then walk past the gate and we reach a giant door, it was made out of oak and it was the entrance to something dark, I could tell since the atmosphere was turning heavier the more closer we got. When Kumiko and I arrived she said no words and opened the ginormous door with some yellow particles, I noticed her expression changed, and not in a good way. She turned serious and lost her childish atmosphere. This made me more nervous than ever. When we walked in I immediately noticed 4 people sitting on some tall chairs, which there were five, one of the chairs were empty.
The first person was this tall man with black hair and red eyes, he had horns like a goat and was wearing a necklace of black beads. He wore a red hakama and black gloves. His weapon was a black sword on the right side of his belt. He looked like he was in his twenty's. He had a will-o-wisp that was black and red right next to him. He had black particles surrounding his chair. When I noticed these details, I immediately knew he was Akuma-San, who controls the demons.
The second person was...MY TEACHER?! Saito-Sensei was sitting on the second chair with a book in his hand. He had white, slick back hair and green eyes, he was about thirty years old. He was wearing a white and black hakama. He also wore a necklace made of black beads. He seems to have a golden gun for a weapon, which will give me nightmares. He had brown particles everywhere around his chair, which matched with his gloves. I could not believe it. My teacher, Saito-Sensei...is Manabu-San, who knows every right decision since he is the wisest.
The third person was a girl with long white hair reaching to her knees. She had beautiful eyes, one of them a light blue while the other one was a dark blue. she had a kimono which was white with specks of blue at the bottom. She also wore white gloves that matched her. She looked like she would be around twenty. She looked like a model if I am being honest. She has one will-o-wisp which was white and blue. She also had these bright white particles surround her chair. She looked like the exact opposite of Akuma-San! This meant she was Tenshi-San, who controls the angels.
The fourth person was a tall man, he was smirking which I find odd. Anyways, he had blonde hair and grey eyes, he seems around the same age as Kumiko, which was twenty. Well, at least that's how she looks when she increases her height. He wore a hakama which was a mix of white and black. He also had a bracelet, same one Kumiko wears. He had every color that I can think of around him, he had also two will-o-wisp, one black, and one white. This must be Riki-San, he controls everything in the Youkai World, he has the most power over the Youkai.
The last chair must be for Kumiko, and I was right since I saw a golden colored will-o-wisp appear above the chair and quickly flies over to her. Kumiko-San, who controls time.
If you wonder how I learned this, it is because in school they had taught us about "The Five Specials" which take care of the Youkai world.
Kumiko walks up to Riki-San and gives him a bow. "Hello, I have brought my friend, it appears she may be an Earth Guardian, so may you do a little checkup on her?"
Riki-San stares at her before saying, "Oh Kumiko, you don't have to be so formal~! and of course, I will see your little friend. After all, it is my job right?" He says, whispering that last part.
Suddenly he teleports in front of me which made me flinch. He then proceeds to chant some weird saying and white smoke starts to surround me. It smells sweet, but it was too sweet. I was about to start choking until the necklace started to glow yellow, making me able to breathe. Soon the smoke cleared and the necklace stopped glowing.
"Ah, that's good you are not an Earth Guardian! If you were you would have died you know!" He states with a grin plastered on his sinister face.
The necklace is saved me?! It is better to not speak of it...
"Can I go home now?..."I say quietly.
"Of course! I will be taking you now!" Kumiko yells before Riki-San could open his mouth.
She quickly teleports us to the human world with no hesitation.
"I know you are an Earth Guardian, I saw your necklace shine. Your secret is safe with me though. Now that I have discovered this I will tell you the rules before it is too late."She says blankly.
Too late? What did she mean by that?!
"Number 1," She began.
"You must choose someone to protect by the end of this month, you are on a time limit now that you know what you are." She says while looking away.
"Number 2, whoever you serve you must obey them no matter what." Her face starts to soften.
"Number 3, the most important rule, never fall in love." She says looking at me again.
"What will happen if I don't follow the rules?" I ask nervously.
"Hmm...That's a secret~!" Kumiko says grinning.
"Fine. I want to go home so I will get going now." I state coldly.
She smiles, "Say no more."
Her will-o-wisp goes around me and white smoke appears. I quickly shut my eyes tightly but then open them to see my room.
"Home sweet home!" I say jumping on my bed.
Hopefully, I will get to ask Kumiko about Hibiki-San since I didn't get the chance. I look at the necklace one more time before shutting my eyes and passing out immediately.
