Disclaimer: Tactics is not mine. I think everyone knows that.

AUTHOR'S Note:

I'm really a novice in writing fan fictions. I started this when I have watched Tactics, I really loved the anime and I was happy to read the other fan fictions. And then stories have bugged my mind and are needed to be written so this fan fiction is born. I wouldn't be mad if you don't like this(bad reviews are also welcome), but I just want this story to be read by everyone cause this is just what I wanted the story to continue. (Well I guess everyone wants a sequel to the Tactics anime, I just cant get enough of it so I made this fan fiction). Please bear with my mistakes.

Summary:

Everything was going well when Kantarou had a nightmare about an oni that given him his scar and even made his scar to bleed again.. This happened after the anime ended on the 25th episode.

Memories

Chapter I

The Scar

Go back to where you belong !!! As the last chants were spoken (I forgot the exact chants Kantarou was saying on the anime, and just imagine thoe were the chants being said), the evil oni vanished. "I thought I would never make it," said Ichinomiya Kantaro while holding his chest that is seeping with blood.

"Oh no, not yet!". A familiar oni appeared in his front and slashed his chest again with his powerful claws. "This couldn't be I've already exorcised you!" Then a loud scream was heard.

"Ahhh!!"

"What was that!" startled Haruka said who was really annoyed by hearing the noise as early as dawn.

While inside Kantarou's room, he was sweating all over his body and he felt that his chest is burning. "What the!" he was shocked when he saw his robe soaking with blood. He heard two familiar footsteps heading to his room so he immediately pulled on his covers to hide the wound on his chest.

In a matter of seconds two worried faces were now in front of him.

"Kan-chan what happened"? said Yoko (yawning) with a really worried face for his master.

"Nothing, I just had a nightmare. Well I'm still sleepy and I'll just go back to sleep." Wearing again that fake smile, he turned his back to his two servants and pretended to be asleep.

Haruka was angered by his master's answer

"If it was nothing, you shouldn't have shouted like that in the middle of the night, you know we are all tired after our exorcism earlier this morning and we all need a good rest."

"Okay, as you've said we all need a good night sleep so go back to your rooms now." Kantarou commanded.

And the two loyal servants followed what their master has said.

"I guess he's okay, by looking at his reaction he really is still sleepy and we should leave him be, and it's only a nightmare, I bet he can manage to fight his nightmares." Yoko said while yawning, who never sensed the smell of blood maybe because she was still sleepy.

Haruka did smell blood but ignored it when he saw Kantarou was okay and he did not take it seriously because he was too pissed because of Kantarou's stubbornness and also he's tired and he wanted now to go to sleep.

The wound had stopped bleeding and his chest didn't hurt that bad now. The folklorist is wondering how his scar bled. He just had a nightmare and there is no way an oni can hurt him in his nightmare. There were no signs of forced entry in his room. Everything was still intact. His bracelet didn't even move at all. But he concluded that it's just like stigmata where a person bleeds on different parts of their bodies when they get emotional1.

He got up to change clothes and to clean the blood that dried on his chest. He went to the bathroom to clean his stained robes, on his way he noticed that his tow servants were now sleeping soundly.

After the cleaning and putting on his new robes, he went back to bed and because of tiredness he immediately fell asleep.

"No one would truly understand you, they all hate you, even your treasured tengu despise you. Haven't you had enough? From childhood up to now, no one really cares about you."

"That's not true! They are always beside me and they care for me!"

"It's because of the name bond. I bet they wouldn't even talk to you if you haven't unsealed them. Now let me take those bad memories so that you wouldn't feel pain anymore."

"I'm not in pain so just go away I don't need you. I'm different now, I have Yoko and Haruka with me, I have my own job and I have friends with me now (Sugino, Muu-chan, Yako, Reiko, Hasumi,Rosalie and Suzu ). Now go away"

"It's to early to say but soon you will discover on your own that you will need me and you would want to forget all those bad memories of yours… very soon"

To be continued….

This would be the probable title in case I would make no changes based from your reviews.

Chapter II

Misunderstandings

(1) I have read that some stigmata were caused by extreme emotionas. Well I just said that as one of the reason, well if you know other reasons why one do have stigmata then maybe you can also apply it here. But I guess the mentioned reason would be appropriate here.
