Thanks for your reviews =D Sorry about the mistakes I made. And in the last chapter Rikuo and Tsurara agreed that they were dating openly because both of them knew that Kana and Shima both liked them and so they didn't want them to build false hopes. Also, if they'll keep it a secret then they won't be able to hold hands while in school and half of the day they are in school.

I am adding this extra chapter for explaining about the Yokai. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

The story behind the Manipulatorshield/ Tsurara's view

"Master! Master!" What is Master planning? Why is he trying his childhood games on me now suddenly? "Master where are you?" I searched around the garden, near the Sakura tree. It was night right now and if I know my master well then whenever he is in his Night form, he is always near the Sakura tree. Sakura tree really resembles master and Master likes that tree too. The Sakura tree looks great for two weeks and terrible for the rest of the year just like Master is a Yokai only at Night or can say a quarter of day and the rest of the day he is in his human form. Just as the flowering Sakura tree is an important image in Japanese culture, our master is very important to us. People of all walks of life - businessmen, housewives, and senior citizens - head out into parks and public spaces to sit under cherry trees, drink sake, and enjoy life just like we sit under our Master's hand and enjoy our lives serving him. I am indeed very lucky that our Sakura tree, our Master has chosen me to sit on his branch that is his hand and share love with him. I searched everywhere around the Sakura tree, in the house and even nearby place of our house but Master was no where to be found. 'Where could he have gone? Maybe he is sitting on the Sakura tree. I guess I must check there once.' I thought as I walked over to that Sakura tree and tried to climb it. I had nearly reached the second nearest branch to the ground when I heard the voice of my precious person.

"You took long enough Tsurara" Master said warmly as he helped me climb up and sit next to him on the fourth branch from the ground. He wrapped his arms around me and made me sit with my back to him and my head resting on his chest. The view we saw was really marvelous. The Sakura petals were falling on the ground as the wind blew them and the moon was shining proudly with his companion stars. I had never expected to be sitting in this position, on this tree and seeing this wonderful scene with my beloved. I was too happy to express myself in words.
"Tsurara..." Master whispered in my ear.

"Yes Master Rikuo-sama?" I turned to look at him. He looked really breath taking with the moonlight shining upon his face as he smiled warmly with him. I felt like I was in a daze just by seeing his eyes look at me with so much love, seeing that my heart almost skipped a beat. 'Am I dreaming?' I asked myself as I kept staring lovingly at my beloved.

"Please just call me Rikuo from now on" he said as he leaned in slowly, closer to my face. My breath suddenly stopped, making him smirk. Our noses touched each other letting way for our lips to meet. Our lips were only two or three centimeters apart when I closed my eyes waiting for the kiss to come but his pair of lips didn't seem to meet mine. I slowly opened my eyes, confused. He was staring at with awe which made me blush and I looked away. He took my chin in his hands and leaned in again, this time kissing me for real and not just staring at my face. His lips moved slowly and sweetly against the beat of mine but not much later the kiss heated up. He licked my lips and then bit it lightly, wanting to explore my mouth. Who was I to reject? Of course, I parted my lips and allowed him in. My heart beat faster as every second passed by. I could taste his mouth and fell his body against mine. My hands which were on his chest originally moved up around his neck as I pulled him closer. One of his hand was on my waist holding me while the other slowly went up to my neck, tickling my back along the way. I could feel his heat rushing to my body and I could tell that he felt a little cold sitting so close to me and kissing me at the same time. I knew my mouth was very cold for him and his was hot but I loved that heat, so much that I wanted it every second of my life. Slowly enough, we both parted, gasping for air. I don't know how long we kissed but it was the best kiss we ever shared. After we had relaxed again, I smiled cheerfully at him to which he replied by smiling warmly.
"Hey, you two! Would you keep kissing and smiling in each others arms or come inside? It has started snowing!" Rikuo-sama's grandfather called with an umbrella in his hand, protecting him from the snow. I blushed at being seen kissing Master by someone else especially Master's grandfather himself! Master and me both looked around us to see that it was indeed snowing. We hadn't noticed. It was the most beautiful scene though, Sakura petals and snow falling at the same time together. I smiled with awe as I looked around the place.
"We'd come in sooner or later Gramps, right now you must go inside" Master Rikuo narrowed his eyes at his grandfather not liking the fact that his grandfather disturbed us.

"Fine whatever" his grandfather smirked and went inside after throwing an umbrella and a blanket to us. I blushed harder as Master wrapped the blanket around in such a way that our bodies stuck to each other's and opened the umbrella that shielded both of us from the know that was falling.
"There's so use of the umbrella and the blanket when Master... I mean Rikuo-sama will be sticking to me this way. He'll still feel cold" I told. He smirked.

"Well this way I get to share an umbrella with you again and hold you close to myself too" he said as he kissed me again. It wasn't much later when Master fell asleep with his head resting on my chest. I smiled at him as I ruffled his hair with my one hand and rubbed his back slowly with the other. He looked so cute when he was sleeping! I pecked the top of his head as he continued to rest. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head next to his and soon fell asleep as well.

The next morning I woke up on my bed. I jerked up and looked around for Master but he was no where. I stood out of my bed and walked out of the room. I was greeted by Kejoro and Kubinashi who were smirking at me.

"Well, well, how was your night with the Master? Had fun kissing and snuggling?" Kejoro asked me. I blushed deep red. 'Were they... were they watching us?' I blushed harder at that thought.

"Master has gone for his daily practice since he has been missing it for days now." Kubinashi answered my unanswered question.
"Oh..." I said in relief. Even now that I know he can protect himself, I still feel worried about him when he is not at my side. I quickly went back in my room and dressed in my blue and white Kimono after taking a bath. I walked out of the house and went in the garden where Master was practicing. All the Yokai of the main house had gathered there to help in the practice and watch Master Rikuo.

"After the Manipulatorshield's incident, I believe there will be many Yokai in this world who will come here and try to defeat you to take over this empire. So from now on you need to practice everyday and study about all kinds of Yokai present in this world" Nurarihyon instructed Master who stood bare chest while holding his sword in his hands. He was in his human form and was panting very hard. It seemed like when I was sleeping a lot of practicing was going on. "Physical practice is enough for today, now we'll be studying" Nurarihyon said. Master nodded and followed Nurarihyon to the main hall. They both said across each other while we all gathered around Master. I didn't go up and stand nearby Master because I didn't want to disturb him while he was studying so I just sat with the crowd of Yokai.

"So our first lesson is about the Manipulatorshield which you fought recently..." Nurarihyon started as everyone looked at him wanting him to continue as no one knew about this Yokai much as they were rarely found in Japan. "The first person who became a Manipulatorshield was the one you fought's grandfather's father and he also ruled a very large area of London, nearly the whole London's Yokai are under his rule" everyone gasped.
"How do you know that? I mean about him being the grandson of the first Manipulatorshield?" Rikuo-sama asked Nurarihyon. Everyone along with me looked at Nurarihyon expecting an answer.
"Well son, there are no other Manipulatorshield Yokai in this world other than that family" he answered. "The story about them goes like this..." he said.

(The story)

Long time ago in a city of London lived a young man who went with the name Arnold Adler. His name meant 'Eagle' and it suited him perfectly. He was very good looking to many girls and men envied him. He was the bad guy of the society, killing anyone who angered him. He was very short-tempered and so no one dared to come near him. One day he fell in love with a beautiful maiden.

"Ma'am please don't go there, it's dangerous." the maiden's servant warned his mistress from going to Arnold's flower shop.

"Don't worry Erhard! I'm just going to buy some of those beautiful flowers" she cheerfully said and gracefully walked to the shop. "Mister, how much do these red roses cost?" she smiled at the shopkeeper who was Arnold himself. He was a type of man who never smiled and never received a smile either. It surprised him that this wonderful maiden standing in front of him smiled at him cheerfully rather than being scared of him.
"They cost 1 Euro each" he replied politely. It was the first time he talked politely to someone otherwise he was always rude to everyone even to those who behaved themselves in front of him.

"Oh my, they are costly... but I'll buy them anyway. Please give me five of those" she smiled as she passed on the money to him. He accepted it and gave the flowers to her. "Thank you very much" she smiled warmly as she took in the fragrance of the roses and walked away. Since then she always came once a week to that shop to buy some flowers. She and Arnold had become really good friends and soon everyone came to know about it. Rumors went that Arnold was going to kill this maiden and take away all her money. The maiden's father was so tensed when he heard about it that he ordered his servants and asked some more people who hated Arnold, which were many, to kill him. They all gathered together around Arnold's shop and angered him. He tried to kill them all but when he tried to kill one, others would hold him back or push him. He got very weak at that time and was going to be cut into half. The hatred in him rose so much at the moment he was going to be cut that he turned into a Yokai at that very moment. He turned into a Yokai who can shield himself very well and manipulate people to his likes. He is very strong in his fighting skills which need to be developed to fight in a real battle. In a way one could say that the Manipulatorshield Yokai is the strongest of all in this world as no attack works on him because of his shield but once the shield is not around him, even a human can kill him with just one blow of his sword, so he is also known as the weakest of all. Arnold when transformed into a Yokai killed everyone of the humans in the city except a few. He married his love when he was satisfied and from that moment he lived happily. He had a son and a daughter who married each other when they grew up to continue to keep the blood of the Manipulatorshield but they were never happy because they didn't love each other.

(End of story)

"And the spell that was done on Tsurara was first practiced by the the father of the Manipulatorshield you fought. He used this method to make humans his servants and other Yokai his subordinates." The Nurarihyon explained.

"So you mean the Hyakki Yakō of the Manipulatorshield was made by manipulating everyone?" Master asked him in disgust. I could not believe it myself! Our Master is way better than him! We follow him because he is powerful yet kind hearted even after being a Yokai. Our Master saves humans from Yokai and he also saves Yokai from being toyed by humans. That's why we serve him!

"Yes thought seeing their power, now days no one needs to be manipulated to join their Hyakki Yakō" Nurarihyon said.

"And the reason he kidnapped Tsurara and wanted to marry her was just to feel joy?" he asked.

"Yes, when they fall for someone, they'll do anything to be liked by that person. If you wouldn't have been able to save her then she would have got married to him against her wishes" Nurarihyon said. Thankfully Master had saved me! I cannot imagine marrying someone else other than Master Rikuo-sama.

"But before you said that after the spell the Yokai starts liking the one who did the spell. Wouldn't Tsurara have been happy to marry him if I hadn't broken the spell?" Rikuo-sama asked.

"Her mind would have been happy if that would have happened but not her heart. That spell isn't strong enough to affect the heart of a person, it is only strong enough to control the mind. The mind's happiness overpowers the heart in this spell though. According to the heart, it would have been against Tsurara's wishes to marry him. She truly would have wanted to marry you from the 'bottom of her heart'" Nurarihyon smirked at the last sentence as everyone giggled while me and Master blushed. Nurarihyon would have never said that like in that manner, he wasn't that type to say it that way but he wanted to tease his grandson and his one day going-to-be granddaughter-in-law which was me obviously. "Well I am too tired for today, we'll have more practice later" Nurarihyon said as he stretched and went to his room. Everyone else got to their work while I went over to my Master.

"Rikuo-sama do you want to give your clothes for laundry?" I asked him with a big smile on my face.

"Thanks Tsurara" he said as he hugged me. I blushed especially because he was still bare chest. "You really work a lot! How can you always be so happy while doing so much work?" he asked me as he pulled away a little though still holding me.

"That's because I love to be useful to Master!" I smiled cheerfully. Rikuo-sama chuckled.
"No wonder Shima-kun and Manipulatorshield liked you so much but oh well, I'll never let you be anyone else's girl other than mine" he smiled at me and hugged me again. If it was Master's Night form right now, Master would have even kissed me but his human form is always shy in these kind of stuff. I hugged him back.
"Thank you Master... for choosing me" I whispered to him. He didn't reply but hugged me tighter.
