Momo was in her room with the lights on trying to sleep while thinking about Akura-Ou -I wonder... if he is mad at me... he still didn't talk with me, I don't think he even came back from that walk... maybe he never will- she thought as she played with her hair.

Akura was walking to Momo's shrine. He was taking his time getting there since he still didn't really want to face her, though he knew he had no other chance but to go back or otherwise stay as a familiar which he couldn't accept to stay like that any longer. He finally made his way to the shrine after that long and slow walk. By the time he got there it was already 4 in the morning so he figured that everyone probably are sleeping at the moment, that's why he sneaked in quietly inside and started walking towards Momo's room though he wasn't sure if he should wake her up or let her sleep till the morning. Once he came up to her door, he slightly opened it so he could look inside.

Momo was sitting in a chair looking outside the window while her room was filled by the sound of a music box that was playing the song she hummed a while ago. Even if Akura couldn't see her face, he could feel that she was kind of sad. While the music box started to slow the song, she let out a long sigh looking down.

Noticing that Momo is still awake he invited himself inside her room. As the oni walked in, he felt like the room was filled with a sad atmosphere, but he just brushed it off not even giving a thought about it. His clothing and claws where still bloody from the massacre in the village, but he didn't care about that too. "Hey." He exclaimed to get the womans attention.

"Oh hey, you came back. Are you hungry? Do you wanna take a shower?" She said in a soft voice as she turned around trying to crack a smile on her face.

For a second there after seeing her face and that fake smile on, Akura felt a stabbing pain in his chest, though as fast as the pain come on, the fast he brushed it off too. "No. I don't want to eat and I think I'll pass on the shower at the moment because there is a reason I came here right now."

"Sure, what is it?" She said as she stood up and walked closer to him still trying to smile. "Did something happen?"

He ignored her question and went straight to the point. "I want you to turn me back to normal." He said that with a cold and serious expression on his face.

"Now? But I don't have the hammer. And I don't think the god is awake at this hour, but I promise you that I will turn you back to normal as soon as the sun rises."

"Fine. I can wait till then. In that case I guess I'll take the shower after all." He turned around and started walking to the bathroom.

Momo looked at him. "After taking a shower please rest." She said as she got in bed and finally fell asleep.

Akura finally took his shower and since he didn't have any spare clothing on him at the moment and he had to wash up his own clothing from the blood so, he just wrapped a towel over his lower part of the body and went to his room"

After not so long his clothes dried and Momo woke up. When she woke up she didn't say anything to anyone and went straight to the god to get the hammer.

At that time Akura was still sleeping peacefully. He was really exhausted from all that happened yesterday so he fell asleep really fast and was sleeping like a log.

After a while momo came back with the hammer and went to his room -I will turn you back to normal in your sleep- she thought as she whispered. "Be small". She hit him with the hammer then whispered "now grow". She hit him again and left the room.

Akura-Ou finally woke up from his slumber. The first thing he did was getting his now dry clothing and dressing up, then he headed to Momo's room and knocked on the door.

He got no answer. Silence fell over the shrine while Momo was sleeping.

"Woman? Are you awake now?" He exclaimed while knocking on the door.
Not getting an answer he walked inside her room and noticed her sleeping body. Then Akura decided to sit down on the womans bed next to her. As he looked at her sleeping, he without realizing started reaching out to brush the hair of her face. As his fingertips touched her face he got this weird sensation and because of it he ended up leaning towards her wanting to kiss her cheek. But before his lips touched her face he realized what he was doing and pulled back, then he started shaking her. "Woman! Wake up!"

She opened her eyes. "What? What happened?" She said a bit confused while rubbing her eye.

"Nothing happened. You are just sleeping for too long. You know that you still need to turn me back, don't cha?"

"I already turned you back to nornal in your sleep...." She said sleepily while closing her eyes not really wanting to wake up.

"You did? Well then good, that means I can leave now." He stood up and started to leave her room, but stoped right in front of her room door and without turning back he spoke to Momo "Bye.. Peachy.. I won't be coming back. Me and my brother are leaving now. You should be glad since this way it will be better because we won't bother you."

"I see. Well, then please take care of yourself and don't get hurt, ok?" She said trying to sound happy.

"Sure... Though it's not like I can get hurt easily after all..." He stood there for a few seconds without moving because his legs somehow didn't want to listen to him. He felt like his body wanted to stay with this woman, but his mind was telling him to leave. Finally he managed to leave her room so, he started walking back to his mansion.

Momo let out a long sigh before slowly starting to cry because she felt abandoned.

Akura walked out of the shrine and headed straight back to his place not noticing that someone is spying on him.
