A/N: Hello guys! Here it is, the first chapter of the fanfic!

Since there were just two applications, I decided to make one chapter for each character. However, I had to decide which order they would appear, to make the story a little smoother

This chapter was just to introduce the idea of the Hyakki Yako Naoko wants. So, sorry if there is too much dialogue.

Also, regarding the SYOC, it means "See Your OC", And it's a term used for fanfics, so obviously you won't find many good results by searching it on google (I know this is a weird thing to say in the Author's notes, but hey, someone asked)

Hope you guys liked!

As she walked into the forest, she could only think about one thing; food.

Raika needed to hunt, and quickly.

It didn't matter if it was raw food, she had to eat.

Life wasn't easy for her; Living all alone, with wishes of becoming stronger, to adquire more power, having a clan; wishes that were really far from coming true at the moment.

As she wandered through the woods, she found her prey.

A cloaked traveler crossing the forest, apparently human. Raika couldn't see it's face properly, not even seeing if the stranger was a male or a female.

The traveler kept walking; the half-gitsune girl's hunger increased, along with her heartbeats.

She picked up KuroGana, her sword, from her back and attacked the traveler.

Only to be surprised by another sword, this time on the stranger's hands, with it's cloak falling to the ground.

Retreating a little, Raika now could see the person's appearance; it was a really tall lady, with long, white hair, with red highlights, tied in a big ponytail. She used a small, short-sleeved opened jacket, with bandages covering her breasts. Along with her red sash, tied in a white bow, large white pants finished her outfit. The mysterious woman's red eyes glared at Raika's.

Youkai, Raika thought. Shit.

Tightening her grip on KuroGana, Raika started a swordfight with the woman. She couldn't lose, no matter what. She had to survive.

She was going to activate KuroGana's ability when the woman's strength suddenly increased, making Raika fall to the ground.

Raika stared at the woman approaching her. Her sword was thrown pretty far from where she landed, she didn't had time to pick it up again.

As Raika was about to use her tails, the lady suddenly spoke, startling the gitsune girl.

-"Your eyes are red just like mine!"

...What?

Raika looked at the woman. A large, friendly smile was placed in her face. Was she playing with her?

-"...Excuse me?" Raika had to answer to that. Was she really serious?

-" I said that your eyes are also red! But it's a different red from mine!" She answered, now crouching in front of me. Was she dumb or something?

Raika lowered her guard; the girl really seemed serious about that, she wasn't going to attack the fallen girl at the moment.

-"What's your name?" She asked, with a happy face.

-"...Raika." She answered. "Raika Rui."

-" Nice to meet'cha, Miss with weird hair!" She answered, completely ignoring Raika's name. Sure, her hair was a bit strange; One part of it was black, while the other was red; but that was just a mean nickname. Raika just growled in response.

-"...Oh! Sorry! Sorry!" She said, quite scared, but still smiling. "The name's Naoko. So, it seems I defeated you, right?"

-"You just interrupted the fight, there were no winners."

-"But I did threw you in the ground, right?" She said, this time with a serious look in her eyes. "This means that my fear has defeated yours, even if for a moment."

Raika got quiet. The girl was right, she were defeated.

-"...What do you want with me?" Raika asked. She was pretty sure she would become that youkai's dinner, but instead, got a surprising response:

-"Well, you look like you are pretty strong, and I need this kind of people. Wanna join my Hyakki Yako?" She answered.

Raika stood there, speechless. That dumb woman wanted to have a Hyakki Yako? How foolish. The last time she heard about one was from the great Nura Clan, when their 3rd heir defeated the Nue. But that was because their Hyakki Yako were formedcenturies ago. The world had changed now. Not many youkai exist now, compared to the ancient times.

-"... Where are the other members of this Hyakki Yako?" Raika asked, hesitating.

Naoko pouted.

-"Weeeeeeell, you would be my first member of my Hyakki Yako," she said. "And you seem to know a lot of stuff about the world, soooo-"

-"-wait a minute. Do you know anything about taking care of a Hyakki Yako? About the youkai's world?" Raika couldn't believe there was a youkai like that.

-"Well... I was hoping that you could help me!" She said, with a giant smile. "But I do know one thing; I don't want to see all the youkai dissapearing, one by one. I want to be part of their world! I want to be part of their strength! I wannabecome their strength. I know, it seems a dumb motive, but hey, I defeated you! It's a start!"

Raika thought about that. She did seemed to be a strong youkai. And with a strength like that she could be either an oni or a hihi, which are pretty strong youkai, and she was starving...

-"...Alright."

-"eh?"

Raika, stood up, shaking the dust from her yukata. "I'll join your Hyakki Yako."

Naoko's eyes sparkled as she jumped and glomped on Raika.

-"YES YES YES YES! THANK YOU!" Suddenly, Raika heard sobbings. Was she crying of happiness?!

However, in the middle of the glomping, Raika's belly growled. Naoko got startled and jumped backwards, only to realize it was the gitsune's stomach.

-"Ohoho! You're hungry, aren't you?" Naoko asked, picking KuroGana from the ground.

-"Well, yes..."

-"Alright!" She said, giving KuroGana back to Raika. "Time to hunt!"

-"...Wait, you have no food?!" Raika asked, in disbelief.

-"Nope! I haven't eaten since 3 days ago! But come on, you already agreed on joining my Hyakki Yako, so no complaining!" Naoko pouted once again, while she walked into the woods.

What did Raika got into, the weakest Hyakki Yako of existence? But well, it could be fun, and maybe, just maybe, this Hyakki Yako really could be something big. As she smiled with the thought of food, she followed the white haired girl, with the hopes of getting to eat something that night.

Well, thanks for Rekkha Namorie to create Raika!

remember: You're always welcome to send your OC's, they are going to appear!

Next chapter I'll introduce a random person's character, Asuna!
