A_Carol: Alright, here comes the second chapter! Thanks a bunch for all the reviewers! I worked pretty hard to search for the grammar errors and correct it for the second chapter, but since I don't even fully understand with the grammar thing, I think they would be some errors here too. Please forgive me!

Nura Rikuo and Night Rikuo laid down there on the ground, looked all the way beaten up. Bruises and wounds were all over their body. They were breathing heavily, felt really tired after done a sword-fighting practice seriously. I mean, like in the real battle combat, which make the one who do it is absolutely tired. Their weapons also broken up here and there. Rikuo smiled.

"Looks like…the result is…draw, huh?" he said between his breathe, as he tried to stand up. Though, his hands and legs felt a little numb, so he just can sat up on the ground.

"I don't…take draw as result…you, know?" Night Rikuo complained. He's also breathed heavily, and his body felt surprisingly numb. He sat up, face to face with Rikuo. Rikuo sighed.

"So, how are we going to settle it?" he asked. "We are already beaten up." Rikuo swung his hands to show his night form all the wounds on it skin. Some are bleed a little. Night Rikuo shrugged.

"Don't know. Any idea?" he asked. Rikuo exhaled and looked up to the sky. He looked like thinking hard, his eyes weren't really focused. After a few moment of hard thought, he looked at his night form again.

"Well…I have an idea, but I don't think you'll agree with it," he said with an unsure tone. Night Rikuo raised his eye brow.

"Just say it. I won't know if you don't say it," he said. Rikuo stared at him for a moment before told him his idea to settled it. Night Rikuo instantly frowned.

"Are you nuts? That's just…," he stopped, completely speechless. Rikuo gritted his teeth, looked a little annoyed.

"What? That's the most easy way. Do you have any better idea?" he pointed his right hand forefinger on is night form. Night Rikuo sighed.

"Alright… Here goes," he said. "Ready?" He looked at his day form. Rikuo nodded. They stare onto each other eyes, looked all serious.

"Rock-Paper-Scissors!" Night Rikuo went with rock and Rikuo with scissors, which made the result in Night Rikuo's win.

"Agh! I lost!" Rikuo yelled.

"Heheheh… So looks like it's MY win, huh?" Night Rikuo smirked. "…Though, I read his mind before, that I know what he will use," Night Rikuo whispered to himself. Rikuo scowled.

"Hey! I heard that!" Rikuo shouted. "That's not fair, you cheater!" He pointed out his fore-finger wildly at his night form.

"You're not saying that there's a rule to not read other people's mind," evaded Night Rikuo. "Now~~ whom I should make you date with, eh?" He made an evil smile on his face. Rikuo frowned at instant.

"E-eeeh! Y-you're serious 'bout that?" he screamed. Night Rikuo chuckled.

"Hey, a deal's a deal. We have to keep promises don't we? And so with the deal," he said, though with an amused tone in his voice. On the other side, Rikuo looked a bit more confused. He just…don't know what to say. I mean, a DATE? He can said it lightly, because it's not even him that must go on a date! Oh, good god. What should I do? His thought kept on swirled inside his head, his eyes weren't focused and his mouth is wide open.

"Oh, and when I said the girls, I meant Tsurara, Kana or Yura, alright? So, which one, I wonder~?" added Night Rikuo, enjoyed his own day form confused and dazzled face. But that's not helped at all, instead of helping, it's just made Rikuo more confused. What the? Oh, god, he completely messed me up! I mean, they're MY classmates (well, Tsurara's my attendant, but that's not the point) and if I DATE one of them, the others will know, aren't they? And there's no way with Yura, she might just beat me instead! He really make everything much more difficult!

When he messed up with his own thought inside his mind, a familiar girl's voice came out of nowhere. The voice that was calling for him.

Master Rikuo, wake up! Rikuo snaped out from his messed up mind and looked around, searched for the source of the voice. Night Rikuo exhaled.

"Oops, I think it's already time for you to wake up," he said. He smiled to his day form. "I'll tell you the answer next time we meet, okay?"

"Eh?" And Rikuo fell into a deep darkness

"Master Rikuo! Wake up!" shouted Tsurara who's stood right beside him. Rikuo fastly opened his eyes, Tsurara's voice succesfully brought him up from his slumber. "Ah, Master! You finally woke up!" She clapped her hands. She was in her human form and wore a school uniform.

"Uh, yeah. What were you doing here, Tsurara?" asked Rikuo, his head still felt a little bit dizzy, half awake and half asleep. Tsurara smiled.

"Why, waking you up, of course!" she said. "By the way, Master. Are you aware of the time?" She showed the clock to him, which made Rikuo jumped out from his bed and ran off from his bedroom. He quickly changed his clothes to school uniform in the bathroom.

"Master! Late again?" asked Kubinashi who took care of the laundry. He was holding a basket full of laundry on his two hands.

"Yeah! I've to go to school quickly!" said Rikuo as he ran off to house gate while his right hand was holding his school bag. Tsurara and Aotabou was running behind him, tried to catch up with him.

"Master! Wait for us!" shouted Tsurara. She brought up a box wrapped up with a white cloth. "And you forgot your lunch again!" The other youkai were watching them until they gone to school and they chuckled.

"Master sure is late a lot," said Nattou-Kozou. The other nodded with agreement and laughed. They were chattering and discussing until Kubinashi told them to get back to their work. Rikuo's Grandfather, Nurarihyon, was sitting on his usual place in front of the big sakura tree and drank tea like always. Rikuo's mother, Wakana, sat near him, prepared with a teapot filled with tea. Nurarihyon shooked his head.

"That Rikuo, he always making such a ruckus in the morning."

In the classroom, Rikuo was sitting on his chair. Even if the teacher was giving a lecture in front of the class, Rikuo could barely focused on the lesson. The voice of his night form kept echoed inside his head.

'Oh, and when I said the girls, I meant Tsurara, Kana or Yura, alright? So you choose one of them.'

'I'll tell you the answer the next time we meet, okay?' Rikuo shooked his head many times, tried to drove away his night form words inside his head. Those words will just confused him even more, he better think about the answer he will give. He gazed on the sun outside the windows, while his mind kept wandered around. But somehow, when he kept thought about it, he felt a little sleepy. His eyes almost closed when suddenly, Kana came out in front of him.

"Rikuo-kun?" she called. Rikuo almost jumped in surprise.

"E-eh? K-Kana-chan?" he screamed, act awkwardly, felt a little embarrassed because caught up almost fell asleep even though it still daytime. But Kana looked like she wasn't realized about it. She pointed at the front of the class where Kiyotsugu was stood at.

"The class was already finished and the club activity is just about to start," said Kana. "You better pay at least a little attention at this, Rikuo-kun. Or Kiyotsugu might just make some strange idea that trouble us all." Rikuo smiled a little.

"Ahaha… You're right," he said. Kana smiled back at him. They both paid attention on Kiyotsugu after that. Kiyotsugu smiled, looked all high and mighty.

"Everyone, today I want to talk about the female spider youkai, Jorougumo!" he shouted as he opened his laptop showed it up to everyone. Everyone leaned closer to see what was showed up on the laptop. It was a biodata about a female spider youkai named Jorougumo.

"Jorougumo?" asked Maki with a questioning tone. Kiyotsugu grinned.

"It's a female spider who lived for hundred years and become a youkai that often consume male humans to keep alive, youkai Jorougumo!" he explained. "It's also said that Jorougumo is a sister of Tsuchigumo." Rikuo made an "o" shape mouth and thought back at the day he fought with Tsuchigumo.

'Sister of Tsuchigumo, huh? I never heard about it,' he thought.

"But, Kiyotsugu-kun, it's also say here that youkai is live at a mountain at Kanagawa Prefecture," said Torii. She looked at Kiyotsugu with unsure eyes. "Don't tell me you…" Kiyotsugu nodded.

"That's right! Let us go to that mountain at Kanagawa this holiday, Mount Ōyama!" he shouted it out, looked proud of himself. Torii, and Maki instantly screamed.

"What? No way! Have you lost your mind?" yelled Maki.

"She's right! Have you forgetten about what happened at Mount Nejireme? You expect us to go to another mountain?" added Torii, supported Maki. Kiyotsugu shook his head and smile.

"Why, why, you two! Don't let things like that to make you scared out!" he said. "Besides, this time the place we are going to sleep at is one of my villa! It might be in Japanese-style, but it's comfortable there!" Maki and Torii looked at each other and sighed.

"Oh well, since we have nothing to do this holiday," said Maki, Tori nodded. Their face looked unexcited, the opposite of Kiyotsugu's face that looked all the way too excited. He turned to Shima, who stood next to him.

"How about you, Shima-kun? Are you coming?" Shima smirked.

"Of course, Kiyotsugu-kun!" he said. But then he looked like thought about something and asked, "But, will Oikawa-san coming too?"

"Oh, you're right. She's not coming today," said Kiyotsugu, finally realized.

"A-ah, I will tell her later. Don't worry!" said Rikuo with smile. Shima looked relieved and happier than before, though also looked a little unsure. Rikuo sighed.

'Looks like Tsurara's still have some things to settle with the Arawashi Family,' he thought. 'No wonder, she has her own clan now. She might be too busy to come.'

"How about you, Rikuo-kun? Are you coming, too?" asked Kana.

"O-oh, maybe, I think. And you Kana-chan?" Kana smiled.

"I'll come. Since I don't have anything to do, and I kind of taken an interest on youkai, after all," she said. Rikuo made a faint smile. Kana-chan sure is started to accustomed with youkai these days.

"Alright guys! Tomorrow we meet up at the usual station at 10:00 A.M.!" shouted Kiyotsugu with a very excited tone in his voice. "Don't you dare be late!"

"Yes~" answered everyone. The club dismissed.

At the way back to home, Rikuo met up with Tsurara and ended up walked back to home with her. Tsurara smiled at him.

"Master! Sorry I can't pick you up at school today~" she said. Rikuo smiled.

"Don't worry! There's nothing happen at school, so it's fine," he said. "How's the thing with Arawashi Family and your clan?" Tsurara smiled more happily.

"Things gone off pretty nice!" she said. "Since The Arawashi Family already accepted me, things are going on without much difficulties!"

"That's good!" said Rikuo. They went on a silence for a few moments before Rikuo remembered about the Kiyo Cross Squad trip. "Say, Tsurara. Are you free this holiday?" Tsurara jumped in surprise.

"W-what? W-why so sudden, master?" Rikuo gasped, realized that Tsurara took his question as another way to ask for, you know, a date.

"No! Don't get a wrong idea there!" he shouted. "There's a club trip this holiday, so I thought you should also come along!" Tsurara made an "o" shape mouth.

"A trip again, huh?" she murmured. "Well, I don't think that I will be absolutely busy, so I'll come along!" Rikuo sighed in relieve. That meant he would has at least one person to rely on if something happen.

The sun is already set, Rikuo was still sat behind his desk. He already finished prepared his bag for the trip and everything for tomorrow. But still something bothered him. Like, the place they are going to go, that Mount Ōyama. It's still in the part of Nura Clan's territory, but in the crisis time like this, there maybe some youkai that sneaked to that place. And Kiyotsugu also said that Jorougumo lives there, but he never heard youkai Jorougumo as a part of the clan. It maybe will be a dangerous trip.

Another thing to think about, he thought. He still thought about his deal with his night form, that ridiculous deal. Night Rikuo said that he will tell him the answer the next time they meet, did he meant tonight? He sighed.

Well, I won't know before it happen, he thought. He felt there was no use to kept on thinking about it and stood from his chair. After changed to his sleeping clothes, he went to his bed. Before fell asleep, he thought, It would be fortunate for me if "he" won't come tonight.

Fortunately or not, his hope was fulfilled.

A_Carol: Alright! How was it? Grammar errors here and there?

Night Rikuo: Like I already said, there are bunch of it.

A_Carol: (Shut yer mouth) By the way, sorry about before. This is still the explaining part, I mean no romance/date yet. It's on the next chapter! I promise this time!

Tsurara: Yeah... And I've been looking forward to it.

Rikuo: Tsurara... You want me to suffer?

Tsurara: E-eeh? No, no, that's not what I meant, Master!

A_Carol: I know your hope Tsurara. And to answer for some reviewers hope, I already made Rikuo lost. And Rikuo will date Tsurara, even if he doesn't even realize about it (talk about idiot)

Rikuo: Hey! I heard that!

A_Carol: *ignore* And I will give you a hint about next chapter romance: A KING'S GAME! For those who know, you can imagine the romance for yourself until I post. For those who not...well, just wait until I update. Oh, plus there will be a pocky game, too.

Night Rikuo: Okay, curtains closed.
