Saved by a Kiss
The Kiyo squad had come on a vacation to Mount Tsurugi for Yokai hunting. They had been walking for the whole day and finally all had reached Kiyotsugu's house late at night. Rikuo was searching for Tsurara after some time in the house. She hadn't talked to him since they started walking ahead in search of Yokai after having a small break. It was very unlike Tsurara to leave Rikuo alone while he was in his day form. It could be that Rikuo didn't notice her when she was there with him because he was with Kana and both of them were talking about their childhood days. If that was true than he must apologize to her for his behavior.
"Where is Tsurara?" Rikuo asked everyone when he noticed that his guardian wasn't anywhere in the house.
"Maybe she went for some Yokai hunt!" Kiyotsugu said with happiness.
"I don't think so" Maki said.
"She must have gone to have some water" Torii suggested.
"No, I searched the whole house but she isn't anywhere" Rikuo told her getting worried with every reply he got. Kana felt a pang of jealousy form inside her when she heard what Rikuo said. What was such that he needed to tell her that made him search for her everywhere? Or did he just want to see her? It made her angry.
"I didn't saw Oikawa-san since we started walking after we ate. I thought she was with Nura-kun" Shima suddenly told worriedly.
"But I was with Kana. I thought she was angry with me or something and was with you guys" Rikuo told. He had got even more worried at Shima's reply. No one had seen Tsurara since they ended their break.
"Tsurara wasn't with us, maybe she was sleeping and didn't wake up when we ended our rest time." Kana told. She was really happy that her rival had disappeared but hid it after seeing Rikuo and Shima's worried faces.
"I'll go search for her" Rikuo said and ran out of the house.
"Wait, Nura-kun!" Kana yelled as she ran after him but soon lost his track.
'Where are you Tsurara?' Rikuo thought to himself as he turned into his Yokai self and ran faster looking for her.
While Rikuo was searching for a certain someone, that certain someone was in an unknown factory nearby the place they had taken rest.
"I won't let you hurt Master!" Tsurara exclaimed as she used all her powers to fight the Yokai.
"There's no use trying to fight me love. You won't be able to defeat me" the Yokai laughed.
"Don't call me 'love'!" she yelled at him and once again brought a snow storm but he easily stopped it with his shield.
"Oh and why shouldn't I? You are my love after all. I fell for you the moment I saw you Yuki onna. I'd love to have such a devoted wife like you" he laughed as he picked her up by her collar and threw her on the wall in front of him. He first saw her when she was sitting with her friends, eating lunch. You could say that it was love at first site for him. But that wasn't the only reason why he kidnapped her. He wanted to kill Nura Rikuo, her master and get the throne to rule all the Yokai spirits in this world. He smirked. "I'll kill your master and then marry you. If while being a subordinate you do so much for him than if you be my wife, you'll do even more for me" he said as he got closer to her.
"You will never get your hands on master! I'll kill you before you do!" she yelled at him. He slapped her.
"As if you would be able to. You can hardly move. Now come on marry me, you know I am more beautiful than your master and even more powerful" he said as he held her chin with one hand while caressed her cheek with other.
"Stay... away" she tried to yell but she had very less energy to do so so her voice came in a soft whisper. She has been fighting him since he kidnapped her which was in afternoon sometime and it was already night now. He wasn't tired at all, mainly because he never attacked her except of throwing her away from here and there. All he did was shield himself from her attacks.
"Give it up already. You'll become a queen if you marry me. Your master loves his human girl friend more than you. He will never marry you, you'll never be the queen of all the Yokai spirits if you stay with him. So why not come with me?" he asked.
"I don't care if he marries me or not! I don't want to be a queen! I will stay beside my master forever! I will never betray him! I'll protect him!" she yelled with new determination which gave her energy to fight. She tried to freeze him with her cold breath but it seemed like he wore his shield like a kimono.
"Well then I'll have to force you then" he smirked as he pinned her to the wall. She tried to pull away but he was way too strong for her.
"Be my wife..." he said as his face got closer to hers. She stopped moving as if in a daze. She was losing herself.
"TSURARA!" her master's voice echoed in her head. She thought she was imagining him but that wasn't it. Her master had really come to save her. "How dare you?" Rikuo yelled at the Yokai and attacked him with his sword but ended up falling down on the ground without hurting him even a scratch.
"You cannot hurt me Rikuo! My body is covered with a shield and you will never be able to hurt me" the Yokai laughed.
"Well then I'm taking her" he said as he went to pick up Tsurara who was still in a daze.
"You can't take her away like that idiot" he said as he drew his sword to cut Rikuo into half but Rikuo dissapeared. Rikuo attacked him with his sword behind his back but this time again it didn't work. He needed to attack him when he wouldn't have on his shield.
"Oi, fight like a man a**hole. Put away that shield of yours and speak the language of your sword" Rikuo challenged him.
"Put away my shield, no way! Sword fight? I'm ready" he said as he attacked Rikuo. Rikuo stopped the attack by his own sword. This sword fight went for a long time even when both of them were tired. They kept fighting, exerting themselves to death. The Yokai was too tired to keep holding the sword. Rikuo swung his sword while panting and threw his sword away. The Yokai fell and Rikuo aimed his sword towards the Yokai's heart. This ended the Yokai's life. The Yokai couldn't keep the shield draped around his body as it needed a lot of energy which he lost while fighting.
"Tsurara!" Rikuo yelled as he ran up to her and picked her up in his arms.
"R-Rikuo-sama..." her eyes were closing. It seemed like she had no energy anymore. She moved forward slightly and draped her hands on Rikuo's face. She moved her face closer to his. Rikuo's eyes widened in shock at her gesture. Before she could have touched his lips with hers she fell unconscious.
"Tsurara..." Rikuo called as he balanced her in his arms when she was about to fall. He then walked out of the building with Tsurara in his arms bridal style. He walked a towards the house and on the way changed to his 'Day form'. He walked closer to find Kana and others searching for him and Tsurara. Shima was the first one to notice them.
"Nura-kun... Oikawa-san?" Shima exclaimed in shock as he ran towards them along with everyone else.
"What happened to you Nura-kun?" Kana asked worriedly when she saw the cuts on Rikuo's now bare chest. His shirt was torn off in the battle.
"Oikawa-san..." Shima was crying seeing Tsurara unconscious with bruises all over her body but none were deep enough to bleed unlike Rikuo's. Tsurara's hair were a little red in color because of Rikuo's blood that was dripping from his cut.
"What happened? Did you see a Yokai?" Kiyotsugu asked.
"You fought the Yokai?" Maki gasped along with everyone else. Rikuo didn't reply their questions.
"We need to head home, NOW" he told them seriously. Everyone nodded and Kiyotsugu called his father and asked him to send a helicopter urgently. Before the helicopter came to their rescue, Kana bandaged Rikuo's cuts and Tsurara's bruises. Everyone was ready to go except Kiyotsugu who wanted to investigate more but he went too as no one would stay with him after what happened to Tsurara and Rikuo. In the following morning they had reached their home town. Rikuo disappeared as soon as he got off the helicopter with Tsurara in her arms. She was still unconscious and getting hot as every minute passed by. He didn't even listen to Kana to wait for everyone. He was too worried about Tsurara to wait even a second. He ran in his full speed to the main house. He entered the house running as well. When the other Yokai's and his mother saw him in such a condition, they all got worried. He ran straight away to his grandfather's room without knocking which shocked his grandfather but he understood the situation when he saw both of them closely. Rikuo closed the door and laid Tsurara down.
"Tsurara... she is heating up and she has got a lot of bruises too" Rikuo said as he panted for air.
"You seem to be in much more worse condition than her" his grandfather raised an eyebrow as he saw Rikuo covered with blood.
"But she is losing her temperature! She is heating up! You told me that Yuki onna Yokai don't heat to human temperature even when having the highest fever they can" Rikuo said. The Yokais outside the room were eavesdropping on their conversation. Rikuo's grandfather touched Tsurara's forehead with his hand and gasped. Rikuo's heart started beating faster at that.
"She'll die at that temperature!" Rikuo's grandfather yelled. Rikuo and his grandfather could hear gasps from outside the room but none cared to say anything to that. "Tell me Rikuo, how did this happen? What kind of Yokai did that?" he asked urgently.
"I don't know what Yokai he was..." Rikuo muttered.
"Then tell me what happened there, every detail of it! Don't hide anything!" his grandfather ordered him emphasizing the word 'every'. Rikuo nodded and told everything that happened, well at least what he saw, even the almost kiss.
"hm... so it was a Manipulatorshield Yokai" his grandfather stated.
"Manipulatorshield?" Rikuo was clueless.
"These kind of Yokai don't have any special powers for fighting. They can shield themselves though and manipulate people around them. If the people don't get manipulated then they use a spell which soak people's energy and they fall unconscious. If the Yokai kisses humans than they become their servants and if the Yokai kisses another Yokai then they start idolizing and liking him and would do anything for them, just the way Tsurara is to you." his grandfather said.
"Just by kissing?" Rikuo narrowed his eyes, kind of not believing the story.
"Yes the person who loses it's energy soaks some of the energy from the one who kisses her through their tongue. If someone else other than the one who did the spell kisses the person than once the energy is restored in the affected person, it would seem like nothing had ever happened. Nothing will change about the person and his relationship with the kisser except that he will stop hating the kisser because apparently he saved him from dying" his grandfather shrugged at the last statement.
"d-dying?" Rikuo gulped.
"Yes, they die once they lose all the energy they need to hold themselves alive. In case of Yuki onna, she is just unconscious but if she kept heating up at his rate then she'll die" his grandfather told him. "So kiss her already!" he added. Rikuo blushed. He bent down a little towards Tsurara and pecked her lips but she didn't wake up. This worried Rikuo to hell. "My idiot son! The person soaks energy from the tongue!" his grandfather reminded. Rikuo nodded and kissed her properly this time, touching her tongue with his as he kissed her lips with his. Tsurara kept soaking his energy in her till she had enough energy to talk and stand while with every second Rikuo started weakening. Tsurara suddenly pushed him away. Right now both of them had the same energy level. Tsurara and Rikuo both panted for air.
"Where am I?" Tsurara asked before looking around. "Nurarihyon master?" she nearly yelled in shock and bowed.
"Good to know you are fine Tsurara" Rikuo's grandfather smiled at her. "Why did the Manipulatorshield do that to you?" he asked seriously.
"He... well... he wanted to kill Rikuo-sama and be the King of all the Yokai in the world, also he wanted to marry me but I wouldn't agree" Tsurara replied. The grandfather was amused while Rikuo groaned.
"Well at least Rikuo killed him" the Nurarihyon said in relief.
"He is dead?" Tsurara asked in surprise.
"Yes..." Rikuo replied.
"Thank you Rikuo-sama! I knew you were stronger than him!" Tsurara happily embraced her master who blushed furiously. It was already afternoon by now.
"Come on now, go eat something and get some sleep. You two have very less energy in you" the Nurarihyon ordered. Both of them nodded.
After they were done eating and resting, when both of them woke up at midnight, Rikuo sneaked in Tsurara's room in his Night form. Tsurara was about to scream his name but he covered her mouth with his hand and led her out of the room under the Sakura tree.
"What happened Rikuo-sama?" she asked. He pinned her to the trunk of the tree while she blushed furiously, not that he wasn't blushing.
"Gramps said that the Manipulatorshield manipulates people to do what he likes. He must have manipulated you too... what exactly happened when I wasn't there, tell me everything." Rikuo wanted to know everything that had happened. Tsurara told him every word the Yokai had said, all her replies and even every action. "Y-You didn't take his side even when he said that I liked a human girl?" he asked her, quite surprised at his subordinates loyalty.
"Why would I? I will never leave Young Master's side!" Tsurara said cheerfully. Her energy was back and so was Rikuo's. Rikuo smiled warmly at her and suddenly kissed her. Tsurara was at first shocked but recovered and kissed him back.
The next day Kana and everyone else decided to visit Rikuo so they went to his house. They ringed the bell while all the Yokai's who saw them hid. Rikou's mother, Wakana opened the door.
"Hello, Mrs. Nura-san... we have come here to see Nura-kun" Kana politely bowed along with everyone else.
"Oh hi everyone. Come on in" she smiled at them and invited them inside. "If you have come to see Rikuo because of that incident then I guess you want to see Tsurara too right?" Wakana asked politely.
"Tsurara is here?" Kana and Shima both asked together in shock. Everyone else was in shock too.
"Yes...well then I'll call them" Wakana smiled wondering if she said something wrong that shocked everyone so much. She went and told her son and Tsurara who were currently snuggled up under the Sakura tree that their friends had come to visit them. They both soon entered the guest room where everyone was in and greeted everyone. Rikuo was in his day form, obviously as it was day and no more night. Even though his friends were there he didn't pull his arm away from Tsurara's waist.
"H-how is Tsurara here?" Kana asked burning with jealousy. Rikou didn't take her to his house when she fell unconscious on the night when they were searching Yokai in the old school building.
"Well Master said that I'll be staying here till all my bruises heal" Tsurara smiled sweetly at Kana which she never did before. Rikuo smiled at Tsurara.
"Well it seems like Oikawa-san was kissed by Nura-kun" Kiyotsugu suddenly said shocking everyone.
"What?" Kana and Shima asked in shock.
"Yeah the Yokai must have did a spell on Oikawa-san to drain her energy which it seems like came back when Nura-kun kissed her" Kiyotsugu told his discovery proudly. Both Kana and Shima were taken a back. They looked at Tsurara and Rikuo who were blushing and then saw Rikuo's arm draped around Tsurara's waist.
"What I am wondering is that the Yokai who can do that is very strong, how did..." Shima interrupted Kiyotsugu's question.
"H-Hey... are you two... by any chance dating?" Shima was totally freaked out. Everyone now looked at Tsurara and Rikuo with wondering eyes. They both looked at each other and chuckled then nodded their heads.
"What?" Kana and Shima yelled. Both of their hearts broke into many pieces.
"Oh my gosh! Congratulations!" Maki and Torri hugged both Tsurara and Rikuo together. Kiyotsugu cleared his throat pulling all attention to him.
"What I do not understand is how Nura-kun was able to fight the Yokai" Kiyotsugu stated wanting an answer.
"I sneaked her out without him noticing. I didn't fight him! Of course I won't be able to, I am just a mere human" Rikuo answered while sweating a little.
"Then why are you injured?" Yura asked.
"W-Well... I fell into bushes while going to save her" he said sweating even more. Tsurara rubbed his back trying to calm her master.
"Well then we have a hero in our squad! We must have a celebration!" Kiyotsugu exclaimed.
"Yeah! And it's both Oikawa-san's and Nura-kun's treat! Oh and Kiyotsugu-kun's too" Maki said.
"Why me?" Kiyotsugu asked.
"Well it was your idea to go there" Maki said.
"The party will be for their safe coming and getting together!" Torri said referring to Tsurara and Rikuo. Poor Kana and Shima, no one noticed their sadness.
