Ugetsu Saburo was born as a third son of a small omyouji family outside Kyoto. Like his two elder brother, Saburo has been bless with ability to cleanse the evil since he was little. However unlike his brothers, Saburo more interested in playing the flute than learning the omyouji way.

Saburo was seven when disaster happens. It was spring seasons, the cherry blossom trees surrounding the temple he live blooms beautifully. The full moon shines unto the temple, giving the ambiance of tranquillity. It's supposed to be, unfortunately, today the tranquillity was shatter by the sound of fighting, the cherry blossom petal were drench in blood. Somehow the youkai manage to break the ward surrounding the temple and start slaughtering the human inside. Saburo had been carry away by his mother into hiding. Both his brothers and father along the monk at the temple fighting the demon to protect the temple. However the youkai manage to track them down and kill the rest of the guard, leaving his mother and him alone. He looks at his mother when her hand fell on his head. His mother give him a gentle smile following with a whisper of spell, slowly everything seems to be in haze. The next thing he knows, he being carried away from the temple by someone shikigami before he pass out.

Darkness… a cruel laughter echoing the dark…

His family lying in the pool of blood….

In front of him a shadowy woman with nine tails laughing manically….

"My, my, what a strong little one, I shall devour you last…"

He screams…

Saburo snaps his eye open. Sweats pour on his small body, his body tremble badly. It took a while for him to calm down. He maybe seven, but he the child of omyouji, he was train for this. His mother…

His mother… his brothers… father…Saburo tried to hold his tear, but it's useless as he slowly remember what happen to them. He cheek wet with tears.

"Ah…you already awake," said a teenager, startled Saburo from his crying. He quickly looks at the teenager.

"Wh… Who are you? Where am I? It's… It's there anyone alive?" the teenager look at him with a sad smile.

"My name Keikain Hidemoto, right know you're in Keikain Main House, Kyoto and you're the only survivor," Hidemoto said while looking at the boy in front of him.

"Oh… I see…"Saburo said while playing with the edge of his cloth. Hidemoto sigh softly, the boy still in denial. It's hard not to when your family been kills by the youkai. The worst part, it been led by one of the Hogoromo no Kitsune loyal follower. The Keikain arrive a little bit too late to save everyone sans the boy in front of him. Asami-san, the boy mother had put a protective ward on her son, hiding him from the youkai eyes.

"Um… Keikain-san…"

"Hidemoto, call me Hidemoto,"

"Right… Hidemoto-san, where will I stay after this?"

"The Head of Keikain had decide to welcome you to the Keikain Family,"

"Oh… but why?"

"The Ugetsu family is one of Keikain alliance. So it's our job to take care of you," said Hidemoto. Saburo nod his head, understand what his say. Hidemoto patted Saburo head gently, that cause him to tense up, having a flashback of his last memory of his mother. Slowly his start to crumble, before Hidemoto knew, Saburo crying his eyes out, asking for his dead parent and gently hug him and let the boy cried on his chest.

"This going to be hard years," mused Hidemoto.


Ten years later…

Hidemoto lying in his room while playing with his shikigami, when the sound of flute filtering into his room.

"Looks like Masayuki had skipped his training lesson again. Koremitsu-niisan going to get mad again," Hidemoto said to his shikigami. Ten years has pass since Masayuki or Saburo come into Keikain House. Just like his thought, the first years were hard on Saburo. After the initial breakdown, Masayuki swore to avenge his family by banish all the youkai. Hidemoto strongly disagree, for him not all youkai are bad, some of them are good. But Masayuki refuse to listen. Hidemoto let the topic go, simply chalk up that the kid too emotional to hear the reason.

Oh… how wrong he is.

The Ugetsu family, while small, came from the same line of Abe no Seimei teaching. While they're nowhere near the Keikain House, most of Ugetsu priestess are the Lords most trusted physician and midwife. Their ability to 'hide' the wife and newborn child from the youkai eyes had saved the Lord wifes and heirs many times. Recently, the death toll of mothers and infants suddenly skyrocket. Most of them been hunt by the youkai for the ikigimo, the youkai only need the infants liver but no sane mother would let their child hurt. The Ugetsu heard about this and offer their service to the civilian expecting mother. Only after a few month, the death toll drop. Unfortunately, that causes the youkai to become agitate. The lesser youkais probably struck the deal with one of Hogoromo no Kitsune upper echelon member to help them with the Ugetsu. Hidemoto sigh slowly. He maybe young (teenager, but the Head House refuse to see that) but even he know, going against Hogoromo no Kitsune it's nothing but a death wish. Hidemoto couldn't help but wish someone come and defeat her.


Two weeks, it took him two weeks to notice something wrong with Saburo. The kid was tainted with youkai energy. Hidemoto cursed to himself while trying to stop his arm from bleeding. In front of him, Saburo holding the kodachi with ease, but one look at his eyes told him that Saburo already lost within reality. When they bring him into the Keikain House, they make sure the the youkai didn't do anything like planting the parasite or put a curse on him. But they miss something vital, the youkai put a curse on his name, that why he keeps feeling agitated, paranoid and violent. All of them, the member of Keikain House think that happen because the death of his family. Now, the boy completely under the youkai control and they need to find the solution fast before the lost the only heir of Ugetsu.

"MASAYUKI! GET BACK HERE YOU BRAT!" screech Koremitsu, startled Hidemoto back to reality. He can't help but chuckled merrily.

"Oh my… my… look like I was right," said Hidemoto. There a sound of laughter and the sound of footstep running through the yard, cause Hidemoto to laugh. It hard to realize that the same kid, but ten years its a long time. After that disastrous night, Hidemoto end up being the person to calm him and cleanse him from the youkai taint. Then he promptly changes the kid name from Saburo to Masayuki meaning righteous blessing. He had a feeling the name suit him perfectly. Well it is. The kid slowly accepts the death of his family and changing for better.

"Somehow, that brat becomes more and more like you, Hidemoto" growled Koremitsu one day when Masayuki went into hiding from getting the sword lesson from him. Hidemoto only laugh merrily at him. At the sound of the cloth rustle, Hidemoto raise his head and look at the spirit in front on him before smiled, "Ah… you came. I hope there's no trouble with your friend?"

"Not at all, Lord Hidemoto,"

"Good, now would you like another game of go, Sai?"

"With pleasure, my lord,"


Masayuki leisurely walk toward Hidemoto-san room while enjoying the scenery. After the lesson this evening with Koremitsu-san, Hidemoto-san stops by and asks him to come to his room after dinner. Not that he mind, Hidemoto-san always had something interesting item and newly create spell or ward to show. And Masayuki always is the first person to know, that alone make him feel honoured. After what happen ten years ago, he was glad that Hidemoto-san had been the one who help him. For him, Hidemoto-san was like brother to him. Not that he said that out loud. He reaches at Hidemoto-san door and knocks softly.

"Come in Masayuki," Masayuki nod his head and enter his room. In there he saw that Hidemoto-san talking animatedly with a… fox? A chibi red fox with nine tailed.

"Um… Hidemoto-san, it's that…"

"Ah Masayuki… come here, let me introduce you, this is Kurama, Kurama this is my ward, Ugetsu Masayuki,"

"Hahaha... pleasure to meet you Kurama-san. You look really cute though," said Masayuki cheerfully.

"I know right, it make me want to cuddle him tightly," Masayuki laugh openly at Hidemoto declaration. Kuram growled at both of them.

"Watch it human, or I bite both of you to death," that only send both of said human to laugh harder. It took them a few minute and Kurama to snap at their hand for both of them to calm down.

"Hidemoto-san, what it's that you need me for tonight?"

"Right, actually Kurama had been teaching me a new seals,"

"Really? What kind a seals?"

"Transportation seals, my last tenant quite efficient with it. It a gift for him for letting me comes here to human world once in a while," said Kurama. "Look likes my time almost up. Make sure everything in position before test it Hidemoto. You don't want to be like my idiot tenant. That brat end up in woman bathouse the first time he use it," Hidemoto and Masayuki chuckled at that.

"I will and thank you Kurama," Kurama only nod before he poofed out of existence. Hidemoto than look down at the seals and look at Masayuki with sparkle in his eyes.

"Let test it Masayuki,"


Somewhere in Italy

Masayuki groaned softly. His head hurts like hell, his pains and needle all over his body. Slowly he opens his eyes.

"Urgh… what happen here?" mumble Masayuki. He suddenly sits up, ignoring his body protest. He remembers that he and Hidemoto-san are going to test the new seals. Then something happen with the seals by the panic looks on Hidemoto-san face. Then… right, he then push Hidemoto-san out of the way, then the seals explode. That was the last thing he remembers and he wake up here. Here is a relative term. He needs to know where he really is. With that he tries to move to stand up only to stop when he realize where he is.

He is on the tree. A thick branch of tree, with his weight on it, it's only a matter of time before it snap. Masayuki only can chuckle weakly at his predicament. He slowly, very slowly walks toward the tree before hugging it with all his might. It took him ten painful minute to calm down his heart before he hears a voice. Two voices it is. He looks down and saw two men down below. One with this ridiculously red/pink hair whiles another with beautiful golden hair. It was the man with the golden hair that talks. That's when Masayuki realize he didn't understand the language. But he can understand the gesture the man made. He was asking what he doing up here. Masayuki let go the tree and look down to replied, which is a mistake. The branch decides it a good time to snap and taking him along.

SNAP!CRASH!

THUD!

ARGH!

AH SORRY! SORRY! The branch snaps!

GIOTTO!


"And that's how I meet Giotto-san and G-san," said Asari happily. The rest of the Primo Guardians look at him too stunned to say anything. Meanwhile Primo couldn't help but wince at the memory while G was holding himself from strangle Asari. It was Lampo who break it.

"Ore-sama was thinking, how it is that you become Asari from Masayuki?"

"Well… that's another story for another time, Lampo," that cause Lampo to pout.

"Nufufufu, how long you stuck here Asari?"

"Two weeks, thanks to Talbot-san, we manage to reverse the seals for me to go home,"

"That's extremely impossible but then again we're the extremely impossible group,"

"Hn…"

"Now that's done, let's start our meeting. Firstly, the Cavallone Family…"

Ikigimo : s a term for the act of eating a human's liver in order to gain power. Supposedly it came about based on an old story from China, where yōkai sought out the ikigimo of Buddhist Sanzō priests. It was a common belief among yōkai of Kyoto 400 years ago. Yōkai believed that the more sacred life forces, such as those of infants, priestesses, and imperial princesses, would increase their strength. One yōkai claims that eating an infant's liver provides the strength of 100 spirits.
