First Message:   *Duty*. It was her sworn responsibility to uphold the very traditions of her family as it was fated for her ever since she was born. It was her destiny, they said. She was destined for greatness just like her ancestors were. She would follow their very footsteps, just like her uncle did. Perhaps that was why she felt she needed to carry her duty out once the very troubling news came to her ears that someone — no, *something* — had managed to barge through the powerful warding spell which was supposed to protect the shrine, her home, away from supernatural forces which may bring harm to her and the other disciples. Her uncle, the renown Abe no Seimei, was away for an assigned mission, after all. She headed out into the vast forest grounds some distance away from the main temple building as she was accompanied by two older shrine maidens. It wouldn't take long for them to find the creature, especially when it hadn't moved an inch from its initial spot. Oddly enough, the creature looked unconscious even as they approached it. "A youkai, perhaps?" It seemed like she was voicing her question out to her lower-ranked associates, until a masculine white-haired figure suddenly manifested out of thin air. Despite his abrupt appearance, the young dark-haired woman had anticipated his arrival, "What do you think, Ren?" "Definitely a yokai," the young man responded in a monotonous voice, "I'm uncertain what it is, however, unless we get a closer look." "The question is.. why is it here, and what are we to do with it. It looked injured.. Maybe the protective ward around the shrine had weakened it as it tried to enter into the grounds," Tsugumi concluded. A feminine figure with long blonde hair soon manifested beside her, as her second shinigami graced her handler with her presence. A mischievous smile formed upon her lips as she remarked, "Maybe it just came to play? Or perhaps it was looking for its owner, who knows? It looks like a lost puppy, if you ask me." Tsugumi tossed a small yet disapproving glare at her female shikigami, "Hannya! Be more serious right now! This creature could be dangerous and yet, you still joke around?" Her berate was responded to with a simple shrug by Hannya. "No matter! We need to deal with this matter now." She finally turned to the two shrine maidens waiting at the sidelines. Once they were given orders, they quickly acted on it by retrieving their ready-made *ofuda* from their sleeves before placing them on the ground in an odd arrangement. "*Nammo tassa bhagavato arahato samma sam buddhasa!*" The female onmyoji chanted, her staff raised up in the air as if she was calling out to the deities up above for protection, "Forces of north, south, west and east! *Buddhasa arahato an kati maya!*" A small ball of shimmering light shot out from the tip of her staff and drifted over to where the creature laid, only to stop several feet above it before the ball spread its energy to form a cage-like barrier surrounding the yokai to encage it temporarily. The shrine maidens, on cue, tossed the magical paper talismans at the barrier before they began chanting in a prayer and shaking their *kagura suzu*. Once that spell was done, the dark-haired onmyoji stepped through the barrier and was left unscathed as she approached the yokai. "Yokai, can you hear me? What is your name, and why did you step onto the sacred grounds of Ise Jingu?" Tsugumi tried to muster a demanding tone, but there was a slight tremor within her voice. "I'm Abe no Tsugumi from the Ise Jingu." She paused for a mere moment, figuring that the family name of 'Abe' would have been heard of. The woman continued, "I bring no harm. I just want to help you and bring you on your way home."
