[[WMG: The man that mentioned by the dragon shiki IS Natsume]]
An ayakashi with time travelling power will brought Natsume to the past. He met the dragon there. It was probably long time ago in the past, before Reiko.

It draws another paralel with Reiko and Natsume situation:
* Both are orphans who doesn't fit in with humans, have strong supernatural power and have an ancestor legacy which become a burden.
* If Reiko's grandfather is an exorcist, that would explain how she knew about spells. It could also explained how Reiko became an orphan. Exorcist family tend to be attacked by ayakashi.
* If he were anything like his descendant, then he was probably became an exorcist to help people. This shows a nice progress from each generation :
** Reiko's grandfather was an exorcist who helped people and viewed ayakashi as enemies.
** Reiko didn't get along with people and fought with ayakashi, turned them into her underlings.
** Natsume is the only one who managed to befriend both ayakashi and humans.

[[WMG: Giving birth to someone with spiritual powers creates so much strain within the mother's body that she will die sometime close to after she gave birth]]
Sounds complicated but this troper noticed that there is a lot of [[MissingMom missing moms]] in this series, especially dead ones (confirmed dead mothers: Natsume's, Natsume's mother Reiko, Natori, Tanuma). Their mothers gave birth to those who have some or a lot of spiritual power (with the case of Reiko and her child, while Natsume's mom may not have some spiritual, she probably had some sort of gene that was transferred and became active in Natsume when he was born). While the childbirth itself may not be the direct cause of death (from what we could understood from Natori's introductory chapter), it might cause a considerable strain on the body which may cause the mother to die sometime close to that period. The only problem is that most of the reasons for death are unknown or unconfirmed. If this theory is true, well it has some UnfortunateImplications.

Because not only can he see youkai, but he looks just. Like him. And, he can be very sadistic especially about youkai, just like Reiko. Seriously, he and Reiko would make the perfect match. Whereas Reiko hated most humans, she would probably have gotten along with a powerful (and fabulous) exorcist. He may even know about it, since he seems to have paternal instincts towards Takashi and even offered to adopt him.

him. A rival exorcist even suggested that Natori is taking jobs away from other exorcists in the town where "Natsume Reiko's grandson" lives suggesting that he certainly knows who Reiko is and probably met her while she was alive.

Going off on Natsume's mother being half youkai, and Reiko not having any humans to have a child with...maybe this is the reason Madara always has Reiko mentioned to him, and why he continues to protect Natsume.

[[WMG: Reiko's mother was a kitsune.]]
As you all know, Kitsune are powerful female (Li'l Kitsune is Special) fox spirits who will sometimes mate with humans when in human form. They are also known to be tricksters, as most foxes are, but are known to keep promises. Now, let's look at Reiko for a moment. Reiko is a young girl who has great spiritual power, and often challenges spirits to duels. She oftentimes uses trickery in order to win them, and has a mischievous personality overall. Those who lose her duels are forced to become her underlings, but she never tries to force the victor to do the same, just as she says. Add this to the fact that she has gold, slit-pupiled eyes, and it's easy to see how this could be possible.
[[WMG: Madara is Reiko's father.]]
Other youkai often mention Reiko to him and imply that he is only interested in Natsume because of Reiko.
[[WMG: Natsume's father was half youkai.]]
Seriously, how Reiko came to have a child is never explained, people didn't like her, and she was always alone. How could she have possibly have had a human partner?
* The fujiwaras, who are from his father's side, do not know about his powers. It's more likely that his mother was the one who saw spirits.
* Chapter 36 confirms that Reiko is Natsume's grandmother from his mother's side. Also, while Natsume says that he was told that his mother was a rather normal person, [[http://www.mangareader.net/natsume-yuujinchou/36/3 the implication is that she was anything but.]]
[[WMG: Natsume is somehow related to {{Gackt}}]]
Gackt once claimed that he could [[ISeeDeadPeople see spirits]], and that his family didn't believe him and began to suspect that he was mentally unstable (Granted, Gackt says a ''lot'' of ridiculous things, as the 496-year-old vampire claim demonstrated, but still). An {{bishonen}} that [[ISeeDeadPeople saw dead people/youkai]] and was considered disturbed because of it? Gee, now why does ''that'' sound familiar...?
[[WMG: Natsumes parents were killed by youkai]]
I'm probably overthinking this but, Matoba said former exorcist clans have trouble with youkai even long after the last person who could see was born into them. Reiko was somebody, who would probably draw the groudge of a lot of youkai to her. Natsume himself is an orphan. It is possible.
[[WMG: Matoba's right eye would have been targeted after he graduated from high school]]
In fact, there's a picture of him in high school and his right eye is not covered. While this is just bonus material, his right eye also seems to be different (although it could simply be inconsistent art), meaning that he became the clan head after his graduation.
[[WMG: Natsume Reiko lost the ability to see youkai soon after high school.]]
Whenever we see her in a youkai's flashbacks, she is '''always''' wearing her school uniform. It was even stated at some point that many people lose the ability to see youkai when they grow up. FridgeHorror, since if it's true, the same may happen to Natsume Takashi.
[[WMG: Natori is Natsume's amazingly-young-looking grandpa, on his mother's side.]]
Because not only can he see youkai, but he looks just. Like him. And, he can be very sadistic especially about youkai, just like Reiko. Seriously, he and Reiko would make the perfect match.
