“Who are these onmyouji, you speak of? She asked.

“They are humans who wield powerful spells and magic, whose power closely resemble those of a yokai. They are ruthless with any human that associates with a yokai.”

Feeling a bit frightened by what she heard, Miyako decided to do as he said not wanting to be a victim of an unknown assailant.

“Where are we going?”

“We’ll be going to where you’re staying. I need to be sure that you’re properly protected from any form of spiritual attack now that I know that there are still some surviving onmyouji in this age and time.”

“Are you trying to suggest I may be under attack because I helped you?” Miyako felt frightened by what may happen to them, she didn’t want to be caught up in whatever things he said that could occur from her association with him.

“Right now, your safety is my priority before I head back to the Inari shrine. I don’t want either yokai or onmyouji to attack you as a result of my lingering spiritual power that may have been left on you due to the kitsunebi technique I performed on you and also when you touched my tail.”

“I never said I needed your help, so don’t try to force your way into what isn’t your business!” she retorted sharply.
