I've been thinking, I have never read a story or saw an episode of Tactics that even slightly mentions Yoko's past. It might have in the manga but I only read to 2. This is a tale of how when an ignored demon comes along Yoko's past floods back to her…
Things to note,
I have made Yoko's original name Kiame. If you don't like it please suggest something.
The name of the randomly appearing demon is Kana Ino everyone alternates between first and last name.
This is short but I will make up for it by trying to update a lot.
Without any further delay,
Of Foxes and Dogs
A brown haired fox demon sat near her master on a raining night. Her silver haired master stared out the window at the pouring rain. A tall black haired demon sat across from and seemingly watching over him. The fox demon finally broke the silence, "Kan-chan, staring at the rain won't make it stop."
Kantaro jerked around, surprised. He looked dazed as if he had been thinking. "I suppose. Yoko get Haruka and I more tea." He ordered.
Yoko jerked up to follow the order at the mention of her name. When she got back, Kantaro was telling Haruka about a random memory. "Teas ready." Yoko said.
"That's great, Yoko I was telling Haruka about the strangest thing that happened on a day like this." Said Kantaro.
Haruka maintained his silence Yoko sat down and continued to sip her tea. Kantaro resumed what he was saying, "Wasn't it like this on the day I named you Yoko?"
"I think so." She replied.
She could barely remember back that far. The only thing she really remembered was an old dog demon friend, it was also a night like this when her old master had died. She and the other girl, the previously mentioned dog demon was left with two choices, to stay with their master's daughter or to just move on.
It was a rainy night. Yoko and he companion at that point the dog demon, Kana, both sat over their deceased master. "I think we should leave here, Kana. I don't trust master's daughter." Said a younger Yoko. She tugged at her dog-eared friend's slave. "We have no where to go. Besides I trust her. She's the one that gave me this nice shiny collar!" Said Kana, her short black tail swayed across the wooden floor. A loss fitting iron mesh color hung around her neck. "I still don't trust her." Said Yoko. Kana looked to the floor, her ears flat against her head. "I guess this is goodbye then, Kiame." She said. Yoko/Kiame nodded. She and Kana hugged and said their goodbyes. Yoko walked off. She looked back, but no one was there.
A huge flash and agonized howl got Yoko out of her thoughts. She and the rest of the group got up and rushed outside. A limp figure lay in the grass. When she got closer she realize it was a badly burned girl dog demon. She checked the pulse quickly. "She's alive, just knocked out." Yoko said.
The girl's eyes opened slightly then widened. She stared at Yoko, "K…Kiame-chan?" She said in a weak whisper. She lapsed back to unconsusness.
"Haruka get her out of the rain. Yoko go get some burn medicine." Kantaro ordered.
Haruka picked up the girl. Yoko scurried back to the house. She stole another glance at the girl and noticed a badly imbedded mesh color…
