Prologue

" Who are you, nee-san?"asked a young boy with reversed pudding hair and a pair of brown eyes. "Let's play!"answered a 9 years old looking girl with black hair and black eyes. "Hai, nee-san." Then, the girl began to chase the boy, while laughing happily.

A few hours later, a very tall and handsome man with gravity-defying black hair and amber eyes arrived, watching the two children play. "Ne, Rikuo, who is this girl?" he started, "I never saw her around before. Is she a friend of yours?"

" Otou-san!" the little boy shouted happily. Unexpectedly, the young girl also responded, in a high-pitched voice, due to her young age. "Ah, Otou-sama!" The man's eyes widened for a moment. 'Oi, is she-? It couldn't be, right? Otome died one hundred years ago... this girl couldn't be her daughter, right? But...she looks just like her...' Then, the man, Nura Rihan, hesitated for a moment before grabbing the girl's hand. 'She have to be her daughter, even their voice are similar... I will rase her like my child,' he decided.

"Ah, what's that! Can I go, dad?'' little Rikuo asked. '' Sure, but don't go too far. After all, you don't want to get lost, do you?'' Then, the little boy ran out of sight.

Suddenly, the wind passed, taking with her a few Kerria petals. Rihan narrowed his eyes, saddness showing clearly in the amber orbes. '' Nanae yae hana wa sakedomo, Yamabuki no mi no hitotsu da ni naki zo, kanashiki...our daughter is just like the ke-'' abruptly, his eyes widened, shock and pain replacing the previous emotions. He looked down, only to find a katana piercing through his chest. Immediately, he understood. '' I'm sorry...'' Then, the girl spoke. '' Ri...rihan-sama? No, no, RIHAN-SAMAAAAA!'' Blood-red tears ran down her face while her true memories returned to her. Realizing that she just killed the one that was her husband, she screamed, regretting what she had done.

''Haha ,hahahahaha! Yes, regret, girl, regret what you had done! You are the perfect vessel for HAGOROMO GITSUNE-SAMA! Hahahahaha!''


Chapter 1

YORU'S POV

It was a cold night, and a nice breeze played with my hair as I looked down, admiring the lights in the darkness. Sakura petals danced around me while I was sitting on a branch of the Nura Gumi main house's sakura tree. I am Nura Rikuo, a quarter nurarihyon, and the current chirimorio no muchi. I became the sandaime at 12, defeated the Nue at 13, and declared peace with the Kyoto yokais after the fusion of the souls of Yamabuki Otome and Hagoromo Gitsune. Everything should have been fine, but... I miss him. I miss those golden eyes, covered by those longs pitch black fangs...Rihan. Nura Rihan, the nidaime of Nura Gumi, the one who led us to the top of all the yokais in Japan : my father, who died when I was 5, stabbed in the heart. Murdered by the reincarnation of his previous wife, Yamabuki Otome. She was brought back to life by Abe no Seimei, also know as the Nue : he changed her memories, made her belive that she was my sister, and made her kill Rihan when he sang a part of a song that Yamabuki left before her death.

"-Flowers bloom sevenfold and eightfold,

but the Kerria laments, for not a single

fruit does it bear..."

'Why? Why does everything have to be like that? Why can't I have a complete family? Why do I always have to watch the death of those who are dear to me? I don't know why I'm still alive... I wish that I can just stop everything, and rest in peace with my family...'.

" Yoru! Don't say that! Aren't we here to protect our family? And the main house? Don't just go and die on your own, because I still want to live with everyone! Isn't it the same for you, Yoru? So cheel up! You're the sandaime, remember? " I began to laugh. Rikuo is right, I still have people to protect. Looking at the sky, I though: 'that's right... even if the flowers will fade away, their scent remain forever...'
