Prologue
This World and A Secret
If someone would ever attempt to classify this world according to colors, they would probably choose black and white. Black for everything bad, like the dark, the evil, death and the unknown. For the night. White for everything likeable, like everything bright in existence, life as it manifests. For the day.
But…can someone picture such a colorful world with a monochromatic film? What about life in the dark? The shadows that lurk in the sunniest of days? No, that wouldn't be fair. It wouldn't truly show all the aspects of this world, of this reality. Even so, can people actually comprehend reality as a whole? Once again the answer is no. If they could, imagine all the fantastic and marvelous things they would see. Just try and imagine, what secrets does this reality hold? How many of them?
Well, no matter how many times someone ask themselves these, without having first caught a glimpse of these worldly secrets, they will never be able to understand this reality. Actually, even if humans have already seen them, they tend to forget or ignore what they don't understand. It's a common mechanism of the human mind after all, so there's no real use blaming them now, is there?
Although humans tend to forget, one of those secrets don't. They have better memory and their lifespan and nature allows them to see the noticeable changes in the world.
Living in a society of their own yet mingling with humans', they hold resentment, jealousness but, sometimes, also love and fascination for the humans' development and achievements. The ones living in that society have many names, many classifications if you would like to think that way, but no matter what, they all answer to one title, one name…
Yokai
Spirits, apparitions, manifestations of feelings and desires, demons, ghosts…That one word is what they all recognize as a common title.
Though humans don't realize it, there is not only them and the animals on this world they live. Yokai have lived alongside them for countless generations. Though nothing but myths and stories for the humans' entertainment, they live and thrive through these stories. Like a story weaved by a master storyteller will take life through his writing, so will yokai follow their own life stories and gain strength through them, gain 'fear'. That fear, not only does it become their strength, but it's also their pride and a way to claim and uphold authority over the rest of their kin. Yokai that want to be leaders form their own clan, their own family plus army, and roam the moonlight nights. Their essence and power lights up the night like stars on earth, their lanterns showing them their path but also declaring a challenge to other clans.
Though we may speak of clans, they are not necessarily only consist of a selected number of members. The strongest of these yokai clans take under their banner smaller clans, thus making them a sort of an organization.
….
But we are actually getting a little off topic here don't you think?
The point that I was trying to make, is that I too belong in that black world. I too am a part of the yokai society, of this wolrd's secret.
And this…this is my story. The reason of my existence, of my struggles and fights to simply fit in the grey of this reality.
My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, and this my friends…is my story…my secret.
This story was inspired by tsukuyomi. sakurachi's own "A Youkai". Her story is basically my own's start in a nutshell I guess. And yes, I have taken permission from her to start this one~!
This is my first attempt in a crossover but not in writing. So don't be too harsh but not sugarcoatting either! I want to improve myself so please review~! Also don't think that my whole story will be this...sophisticated or anything like that. It's not my style. Also the chapters will probably be around 1000 to 2000 words each, so as to not rash the story too much.
So~ I will probably be updating this story once a week. I do have a life and lots of studying so please understand.
That's all I wanted to say, so... Reah~ signing off~!
