Disclaimer: I dont own Nurarihyon no Mago, sadly.
"Yura! Get Down!" a loud voice echoed in the dark night.
Keikain Yura did as she was told by the yokai she was with much to her own chagrin as she avoided getting hit by large woman like yokai.
It had been a year after Seimei's defeat and she had just recently moved back to continue her studies. However, due to some circumstances, she was to stay with the Nura Clan for the time being.
"Yura, better stay here." Rikuo in his night form instructed the her as he chased the loose yokai who was the reason they were outdoors at this late night.
"Oi! Little girl, you better get out of our way for now!" Aotabo said as he jumped past her.
They were all currently after a Futakuchi-onna, a woman with a voracious extra mouth on the back of her head who had attacked a small group of teenagers at a park a while back.
Yura instantly got up and chased after the yokai as well due to the words of those two yokai's. A vein popping out of her head.
"Who are you calling little girl, yokai!" she yelled in frustration.
Even though she had proved how terribly powerful she can be in their past battles, they all could still very well see how impulsive she can be.
"Aotabo, don't tease Yura-sama. You will only upset her even more." Kurotabo said as he joined the the larger yokai.
The target had inhuman speed, and Yura was having difficulty catching up with it even with the help of her shikigami's.
'How dare the mock me! I'll show them, ah, I know, I'll use one of those spells Hidemoto taught me yesterday! How did it go again…'
Yura smiled slyly and closed her eyes as she tried to remember the entire chant. She came to a halt as she saw the Futakuchi-onna evade Rikuo and the other two and ran back straight towards her.
"Yura! Out of the way!" Rikuo yelled, he grit his teeth as he saw her simply pull out an ofuda from her wallet and started to chant. He immediately rushed to her side.
"I, Keikain Yura, will exterminate you!" Yura exclaimed as she finished the chant.
An enormous gust of wind surrounded her and the Futakuchi-onna as the spell took its course of effect. Yura closed her eyes and held her arms up to shield herself from the extreme force.
'Huh! Wait a second! That's not supposed to happen! Gyah!' Yura thought as a silver light appeared and engulfed her.
"Wha-! Yura!" Rikuo looked shocked with what was happening. He shielded his eyes from the sudden light.
'That idiot!' he thought as he inwardly hoped for the safety of his omyouji.
Slowly the light subsided until it completely disappeared .Rikuo took his arm off his face immediately. He then paled at the sight that met him.
"Rikuo-sama! Is that-" Kurotabo couldn't finish his sentence. Aotabo's jaw fell to the ground.
"Wha-What happened! How did that happen!" Aotabo stammered.
The Futakuchi-onna was nowhere to be found, as well as Yura, well not quite. There in the ground sat a nine month old child wearing oversized cloths who looked like Yura very much. No, she was Yura, a shrunken version however.
Rikuo moved closely to the small child in slow steps.
"Yura?" he asked uncertainly. The child on the ground looked up at him with big dark brown eyes.
'It really is her… what happened!' he mused as he knelt down. He would never mistaken that dark spiky hair or those dark eyes and the pale skin for someone else. The only difference was that she was much tinier and her cheeks were chubbier.
The shrunken Yura then smiled widely at Rikuo. His eyes widened. She lifted her arms indicating that she wanted him to be lifted up.
"Da!" she exclaimed as she tried reaching out to the still shocked Rikuo. The cloths where falling of her shoulders as it was now oversized.
'Gah, what do I do! What would Ryuuji do if he finds out!' Rikuo mentally asked himself. He narrowed his eyes.
"Da!" a louder voice this time. Rikuo raised a brow and looked down to see the shrunken Yura's impatient face, her arms still held out.
"Eh? What is it you want?" he asked uncertainly as he cocked his head to the side.
"Rikuo-sama, it would seem that she wants you to carry her." Kurotabo said as he gave a small smile. "Better hurry up, we wouldn't want to upset her." he continued.
"Wha! Why me? You do it." Rikuo insisted as he immediately stood up and backed away immediately. He froze as he saw Yura's face turn into a pout and tears started to form in her eyes."Uh-oh…" Aotabo said.
"Uwaaaah!" Yura wailed. "Rikuo-sama! Hurry, you must calm her quickly!" Kurotabo urgently insisted. Rikuo nodded his head and swiftly knelt down in front of the kid and awkwardly lifted her up along with the oversized shirt. The baby continued to wail loudly.
"Alright, alright, stop crying already Yura, I've got ya. Come on already. Don't cry anymore!" Rikuo almost practically begged as he bounced the baby in front of him, he felt out of character. Almost immediately, her cries stopped and she cutely scrunched her nose. Rikuo sighed as he used the end of his sleeves to wipe off the left over tears from her eyes gently.
"There, all better. Your really a handful!" He beamed at his work.
"Da!" Yura's small lips curved into a smile again. Kurotabo's smile grew a bit at the sight of his master and the shrunken omyouji girl.
"I wonder what could have happen, what should we do now?" Aotabo asked the two.
Kurotabo put his hand on his chin. Rikuo looked at him expectantly, the shrunken Yura was staring at him as well. He sighed.
"Well, first things first, we should go home and find some cloths that will fit Yura-sama for now, those cloths clearly are too big for her." he said as he looked at his audience.
"Okay, that would be fine, but what would we say to my grandfather and mother and everyone else?" Rikuo asked as he held Yura closer to his chest.
"We tell them what exactly happened, and we must report to the Keikain main household of this matter. As for Wakana-sama and everyone else, I'm sure they would be thrilled to see Yura-sama like this. However, we must still be careful, not everyone still sees her as an alley. Hopefully, we would be able to find what exactly happened and a way to reverse Yura-sama back to her original form immediately." Kurotabo said reassuringly.
Rikuo nodded his head as he looked at the now sleeping child in his arms. He gave a warm smile at the sight.
"Dont worry, I wont let anyone hurt her in any way." Rikuo said as he led the way back to the estate.
