Unexpected Union in a Forgotten Ruin

As the sunlight sprinkled the morning light thought the thick, lush canopy of trees, a battle was raging. A fight had broken out in the Fira Ruins. Yukiko, the sole survivor of the village, was the guardian of these ancient remains. With one strike, Yukiko slashed the demon with ease.

Yukiko: Aw, you broke. Now I need to find new toys.

She said in a sickeningly sweet voice. After the minor annoyance, she sat up in her ice willow, the one her mother planted on her first birthday. Silence. All was silent for a moment. But then, the sound of digging echoed through the ruins. Daggers drawn, Yukiko sprinted towards her target. Holding a sharp blade against the intruder's neck, she spoke in such a deadly voice a full grown demon would tremble.

Yukiko: Don't even move. Who are you and why the hell are you here?

??: Dammit. I wasn't supposed to get caught.

Yukiko: Answer the damn questions.

??: "Why am I here?" I've heard the Darkness Gem is supposed to be here.

Yukiko: You are an idiot. There's nothing but lost memories here.

??: Well, those aren't worth much.

Before Yukiko could tear the intruder's head off, a male voice echoed through the trees.

??: Aw, c'mon Yukiko. Let the poor little raccoon go. She doesn't know.

Yukiko: Paco, shut the hole on your face and get down here.

As if on cue, a demon flew down with his bat wings and unmanly elegance. Fangs stood out clearly as he fell from the tree covered sky.

Yukiko: Who the hell are you, you dirty thief?

??: Okay, thief, yes, but dirty? I resent that.

Paco being the 'charmer' he is, stood before the thief.

Paco: My name is Junpacono and I am part bat, part vampire. (Points to Yukiko) Yukiko is part water demon, part darkness. What's your name?

??: I'm Keyakku. I'm full raccoon. Until this one (points to Yukiko) I was never caught.

Yukiko: Will everyone stop pointing fingers at me.

After a while, things began to settle down. Yukiko explained that she and the one she called Paco were entering the Makai Tournament to decide the next ruler of Demon World. They needed a third member and Mask—Keyakku's nickname—was more than ready to accept.

Keyakku: Sure! I mean, it'll be a lot easier than finding my own team. Why not!!

Yukiko: So, I guess we're teammates now. Tell us about yourself.

Paco: Wow, you're being nice. Now I've seen everything.

Yukiko: How about I take those eyes that have seen everything and shove them up your ass!

Keyakku: (thinking) This is one helluva team.
