Dung dung dung dung dung … "Che-yaaaa… " preparing for the last hit, I hold my taiko stick upward, clap it *trikk* together, and while shouting, "HAA!" I hit as hard as I can to the center of the drum head that is sticking to the makamou's chest. The Makamou exploded and spur millions of thin and small pieces that later dissolved into thin air.. It was another Saru-Makamou (Monkey-mountain monster). I breathe, heavily, gasping in and out and really exhausted. This is my first assignment working solo. I am Hibiki's disciple, named Haki. I'm a member of the Takeshi organization, whose main goal is to exterminate human-eating monster that spreads across the world.

These monsters that we fought appear in areas where culture or urban myth resides very strong. They hide behind those old stories and feed on human. For a long time they manage to elude human sight, only those unfortunate may encounter them, which later get eaten. Each monster has a "parents", we call them Doji (for the male type) and Hime (for the female type). These Doji-Hime feed their monster with humans. After the monster matured, they unleashed the monster to wipe out villages.

The Takeshi organization was first founded after several Onis (Demon) joined up in fighting a certain, legendary, monster. Thus the fellowship created the organizations. The Oni are the people who bravely fighting the monster with power of Demon. The Oni itself is a personification of demon power inside everyone's heart. That magnificent demon power, with intense training, can be drawn out and be utilized for fighting monster. But, although powerful, it does have its own drawbacks.

In time, that demon power may overwhelm the user when it gets too old in physics or too weak in the heart. If it happens, that person will change into a pure evil and powerful Oni. In some cases, though, the Oni power will disappear and almost impossible to be used again. There are times when an Oni has to retire. That is when he or she realizes his or her limits. In order to maintain available Oni dispatches, the Oni needs to be regenerated. This process usually done through taking disciples.

The form of Oni used by the disciple usually imitates their master. By looking at the Master's Oni's form, we unconsciously visualize our own form of Oni. In some cases, Master and disciple's form can also be very different. Shuki-San and Zanki-San is one of the examples. Hibiki-Sensei and mine is also very different, actually. He said probably because I have basics on defensive type of martial arts while he is offensive type.

Hibiki said that My Oni form look a bit nobler than his. Surely he jested. Imposing or perhaps glittering might be more apt since I have gold rather than red color for my linings. Different from my master's form, mine has some sort of small figure in a shape of an Oni face on my back. If it is activated, it will enlarge and become a large shield covering my back. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Master says my form look nobler because it looks like a royal cape. It is also disjoin-able to be used as a shield in my hand. Other than that, other features and shapes are all the same. Claws and fire-breath attacks are available at my disposal although my fire is white coloured rather than purple.

I have my own Onsa-Onkaku and Animal-Discs. Onsa-Onkaku, now how do I explain this correctly. It's like, a device to draw out our demon power. It's not really necessary because you can actually summons the power without it - after long, intense and rigorous training . It's just making it A LOT, LOT easier. Hibiki-sensei managed to call forth his second demon form without the help of any device. Well actually there isn't any device made up to now to call the second form so one must train real hard and concentrate deeply. It is said that the first Oni and one generation below managed to call forth their demon power in an instant without any device.

An Onsa-Onkaku is shaped like a taser but its actual design is a fork-tuner, with certain decorations. It has different tune compared to the regular fork-tune. There are several kinds of Onsa. My Onsa uses echo, other uses winds or flicks. There is also animal disc. It's a robot in a form of animal and disguised as a disc. When it's inactive, it transforms into a regular disc and transform into certain animal when active. It functions as a recon unit although often times help battling the makamou or the doji-hime. Both the device is made exclusively by the Takeshi Organizations. All of these equipment are supported by the organization.

Oh yeah I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Harry Kutrupali. It's Harry but sometimes people call me Coot for short. I worked at a private company in this country. In disguise, I worked as a public relations officer. To maintain cash flow for the accommodations of being an Oni, this is somewhat necessary. I'm also engaged to a woman although she doesn't really know my other profession as an Oni. I usually have my target assignment sent to me by emails or sometimes I read the newspapers to see if there is a strange occurrence somewhere.

Every time we finished a job, Hibiki-sensei usually contacts Oji-san. Reporting the result and other finding, etc etc. Well, since this is my first time doing solo, it's gonna be me who will do the reporting.

Title: [HAKI]Saru-Makamou

Regarding to mission 001/HAKI/7/2015.

Oji-san, Saru-Makamou wa Taoshita sore de Ningen koroshita nai desu Himitsu wa daremo mienai . Zenbu wa OK!

Minna-san wa dou desuka? (Okay, i'm not good in Japanese so I'll write it in English – err.. actually I'm not good in English as well)

How is everyone? It seems nervousness always come to those who works solo for the first time. It's a natural thing, I hope. I know that my first solo was when I fought that Bakegani. But Hibiki-san was there watching in case bad things happen. This one is the real solo job! Thank goodness it went well. Red-Eagle animal-disc should suffice the documentations, I think.

Anyway, I hope that there won't be any strange occurrence in the meantime. Don't worry, I will still maintain my work out and do trainings everyday! I really miss Japan mountain environment where the air is still so fresh! I hope I have another chance to visit Japan again this winter!

PS: I Miss Kaori-san Curry rice!

Yours sincerely,

Haki-Oni

Open for Critic and mockery!

I love to imagine myself as an Oni. I also ordered a Hibiki costume (but canceled due to bodymeasuring-delayment). Their politeness & kindness characterization really amazes me
