Sorry if there are any grammatical errors here and there:P This is my very first fanfiction and I was pretty much inspired by Midorikawa Yuki sensei works to write this crossover. Please review:)

I watched with desperation as Gin's body started to glow in a faint blue light. "Hotaru," he called with a smile as his body disintegrated, 'you can finally touch me."My previous look of horror quickly faded as I ran into his comforting arms. Ah, his body was a lot warmer than I expected as I clung onto his yukata for what I hoped seemed like hours.
"Hotaru I love you…" Gin's final words whispered into my ear. I looked up just in time to see his face disappear into the night body now supported by nothing but air came crashing down to the cold hard ground. Left behind was his yukata and fox mask, the proof that he once existed. The tears of grief would not just stop pouring down my face.
"Gin always wanted to be hugged by a human." A voice ran out from the forest before me. I picked myself up turning to face the bunch of yokai* whom I had met from my adventures with Gin. "He finally has thanks to you, Hotaru…" a kasa-obake* called out.
I suppressed my feelings of sadness and wiped my tears away. Yes, Gin was finally free after being granted his long-awaited wish, I thought as I picked up the mask on the floor. Smiling, I thanked and waved goodbye to Gin's friends to express my gratitude.
As I left the forest hugging onto the mask, I looked up into the star filled sky one more time. Gin, I would miss you, my feet departed towards the town. No matter what, I promised, I would surely come back again…
….…..…..…Two years later…...
" We are now arriving at Honshu station…Honshu station…" The train broadcaster sounded as I quickly gathered my luggage. In no time was I on again the once familiar platform.
Its already been two years huh? I thought to myself cheerfully as I made my way to Oji-chan's* home. Time flies so quickly…
In the year before I had already graduated from high school and had begun making a living at a small workforce not far from home. I originally had plans to start a small business in the countryside despite my young age and parents' protest, but for the time being I would just hang on for a while, I smiled to myself.
Stopping before an old worn-out one-story house at the end of the road, I called out to Oji-chan before making my way into the house. "Ah, Hotaru-chan you're here already?" Oji-chan hobbled out to greet me. "Didn't I say I would be here two days ago? You are so forgetful sometimes." I pouted as I ran up to hug him.
During the years I had not been here, Oji-chan seemed to have grown shorter and smaller in size whereas the house itself did not seemed to changed much in appearance both inside and outside. Escorting my luggage to the bedroom, I quikly changed into a fresh set of tank top and shorts before excitedly running out of the house.
The hot blazing sun shined down onto my pale skin while small beads of perspiration started to appear on my forehead as I panted up the old forest pathway. The insects sang and the soft wind blew to rock the trees. From where I was at the old shrine where I used to meet Gin, memories started to overflow in me as I took in the majestic sights of nature that I used to miss.
Unknowingly a single drop of tear rolled down my cheek, I miss you…Gin.
Without warning a blast of violent wind hit me square on my face as I was blown into the dense covering of trees. From the corner of my eye I saw a dark shadow form from where I once stood, what the heck was happening?
I scrambled up onto my knees and peered out of the bush to see that the huge shadow belonged none other than a yokai. I sucked in my breath to take in this yokai's intimidating aura and appearance. Its size was the biggest I had ever seen in my life for a yokai and it appeared to have a large humanized body with a red goat's head. It carried in one hand what seemed like a small green old book and the other a giant club.
Too terrified to utter a single sound of movement, I watched with my hands over my mouth to soften my harsh breathing as the monster scanned surroundings which it destroyed when it appeared from the sky with its glowing crimson eye before blasting out a roar which shook the entire forest floor and finally barging into the trees never to be seen again.
I scrambled up in fear and slowly approached the site of mass destruction. It was all gone, the shrine the trees the view, everything which once held dear memories of mine. I stared blankly into the horizon, too shocked for words.
All of a sudden a second blast of wind, but not as strong as the first blew me onto the ground. "NO! Please stop!" I cried as I covered my face with shaking arms, expecting the worst to come.
"Hai?" A voice from above sounded. Eh? What, it is not the one from before? I slowly uncovered my eyes in confusion. The first thing I saw was the enormous majestic white foxlike yokai, which bared its fangs at me. Since I was too terrified at the close distance I was with it, I screamed on instinct.
"Don't be afraid. We are not here to hurt you." The same voice sounded again. I stopped and let my eyes trail to the back of the yokai where a teen in his high school uniform sat comfortably on the yokai's back. But his actions did not matter to me, it was his face, that all too familiar face which I used to yearn for. With the exception of his warm brown eyes and hair, this boy was the exact copy of Gin, the face, the hair, even the way he furrowed his eyebrows giving me the same concerned expression which Gin had always used to give me whenever I got into trouble, he was the same as the one which I had missed for the past two lonely years.
Gin, he was finally back?
To be continued of course…
