Standing there, I was surrounded.

Rubbles surrounded me with the hot flames scorching through.

In front of me I could see it. Underneath the rubble, the body burning in front of me. 

As flames consumed the body, the skin slowly peeled off revealing the grotesque insides and bones. 

I wanted to puke.

But I could see it, his eyes. 

All the skin and flesh on his face were nearly gone

yet I could see his eyes looking at me.

"w-why are you looking at me.."

"STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!"

I turned around not wanting to see anymore of this nightmare.

Oh god please end this.

"hey."

I heard a voice behind me

I knew exactly who it was.

But I didn't turn around

"how does it feel?"

I could hear the scracthing on the floor as it attempts to crawl to me.

"To be the only one to live?"

"To be the only one alive living?"

I cover my ears.

I could hear laughter and cackling all around me.

Even with the area scorching in bright flames.

I sat there in the darkness. As if the light didn't want me.

"Tamamo no mae,  yours truly the shrine maiden fox has arrived."

It was midnight. And I stood there alone in the room.

I glanced up to see her looking at me with a dignified aura.

Y/n: you've come. Tamamo.

She smiled and bowed her head in elegance.

Tamamo: Yes, and I shall serve you till the end of your journey.

I wryly smiled and turned around.

Y/n: well let's get you to be introduced to everyone.

Tamamo: yes master, but I must say I find it very peculiar for you to be by yourself here.

Y/n: no..well I just had a feeling someone would answer the summons this time.

Tamamo: I see

She stopped in her tracks.

Tamamao: master.

I followed her actions and turned.

Tamamo: I am your servant and I feel as if you are suffering from a form of anguish. If its okay you can consult to me if you want.

She placed her hands on chest as a sign and smiled.

Y/n: anguish..was it that obvious in my expression?

For some reason, today the memories of that time came flooding back. When it all began, out of all the masters, I was the only one who lived. With the amount of bodies trailing behind me...why was I the only one let go?

The nightmares came back as if the bodies caught up to me.

Was it really okay to live like this?

Maybe I deserved to join them?

Maybe they were right..maybe I-

Suddenly I feel an embrace and feel the body of her warmth.

Taken aback I feel her grip around me tightening.

Tamamo: it's ok master. Its fine now. your expression, it saddnes me.

She placed her hand on my face and gazed at me

Tamamo: I, Tamamo no mae will take on your burden as your humble servant.

I stared at her in shock.

Was I in shock or just happy that someone is comforting me?

I could feel the tears welling up inside me and hugged her.

Y/n: I..

"I'm sorry"

Tamamo: it was tough wasn't it?

I nodded with tears now flooding my eyes.

WIth my newfound servant being summoned I felt as if we had both felt a mutual growth of bonding.

Truly, I'm glad It was another good summon.
