Wah-chay! I hope you enjoy chapter 2! Sorry for the wait! I've been sick recently. This chapter has more stuff with Tsurara and Reira. Yura comes into the picture! But, she is very funny in this story!
Chapter 2: Awwwwwkward
Yuki Onna ran to one of the trees and sat in it. She sighed. What will become of waka and I? Yuki Onna thought.
"Hey! This is our tree!" Gozu yelled, "Get out!"
Yuki Onna got out of the tree and then threw a snowball in Gozu's gaping mouth.
"Hey!" he yelled when we got it out of his mouth.
Yuki Onna stuck her tongue out at him.
"Oh real mature!" Mezu said.
She threw another snowball in Mezu's mouth and walked away.
"Jeez, what was her problem?" Mezu asked.
"I don't know. Maybe she's cranky because she has to wait until she marries Rikuo," Gozu said with an arrogant smirk plastered on his face.
Yuki Onna was agitated by this comment. She ran up the tree and appeared in front of Gozu with a terrifying look on her face, very similar to Zen's angry face.
"Eep," Gozu said.
She hit him hard with an icy punch against the cheek.
"What the hell is your problem?! You're normally cheery, but instead you're moody like your mother!" Mezu said, "Gozu and I always make jokes about you and you don't react like this! Again, what the hell?!"
"I'm not going to open up to you two," Yuki Onna said.
"Open up to someone! Your future husband or whatever freak you love!" Mezu said.
"Rikuo-sama isn't my future husband. I don't want to marry him. We're going to cancel this marriage," Yuki Onna said.
"You clearly don't know your mother." Gozu said.
"Yeah well neither do you!" Yuki Onna said as she walked off.
"They'd better solve this soon!" Gozu said.
Yuki Onna put on her smile. She went to the outside of the party where Reira and Kejōrō were.
"Come on Reira, hic, dance for us!" the drunken Kejōrō said.
"Okay, hic." the drunken Reira said.
They went to the interior of the party and Reira was dancing joyfully while everyone else clapped. Yuki Onna sighed. May as well join the party! she thought. Yuki Onna drank some saké, and danced with Reira. She turned out to be having more fun than she thought. Rikuo in his night form also drank lots and danced the night away with the two drunks. As the party was ending, and it was two hours until dawn, everyone eventually went off to bed.
Reira was stumbling and Yuki Onna escorted her back to her room.
"Here's your room, hic." Yuki Onna said. Although she had drunk a lot, she was still half sober. "I'll let you down now." Yuki Onna said as she was about to place Reira down.
"Wait, just one more thing, hic." Reira said. She leaned in closer.
"What are yo-" Reira's lips met her's. Yuki Onna blushed. "Let's go inside, hic."
"Uh, no! I have…school in the morning!" an embarrassed Yuki Onna said as she dropped Reira and ran to her room blushing.
In the morning, poor day Rikuo had a serious hangover and slept in.
"AHHHHH! I slept in! Stupid night selllllllf!" he bolted out of his room. "Tsuraraaaaaaa!" he yelled. "Tsurara?" Rikuo walked into her room. Tsurara was blushing like crazy and looked a bit hurt.
"Eh?! What's wrong? Was it something I did?" Rikuo asked.
Tsurara jumped out of her sad look and immediately turned it into a smile, "No! Nothing's wrong waka! Time to go to school!"
"Okay," Rikuo said nervously.
They ran to school. Whenever the two arrived, Rikuo looked at Tsurara, "Tsurara, what's wrong? Is it something that happened last night?" Bingo! Tsurara looked away shyly. "It was something that happened last night, wasn't it?" Rikuo asked. She still had a hurt look in her eyes. Tsurara sighed. Guess Reira will only be attracted to me when she's drunk. she thought.
"Alright class! Time to get to work!" the teacher yelled, "Oikawa! Get to work and turn that frown upside down!"
"Y-yes sensei!" Tsurara said as she put on a smile and got to work.
The school day continued like normal. At lunch, the group of friends—Tsurara, Rikuo, Kana, Kiyotsugu, Shima, Yura, Natsumi, and Maki— ate their lunches on the roof. Tsurara and Rikuo were somehow able to hide their awkwardness from the group.
"What was with you being down in class?" Natsumi asked. Her black ponytail and bangs moved with the strong wind.
"Oh, I was just feeling down because of the cloudy weather today. I think it might rain soon," Tsurara lied.
"Are you sure?" Maki asked.
"Oh course!" Natsumi and Maki looked at each other. They spent the rest of the day pretty happily, despite them being at school.
When Rikuo and Tsurara went home, Tsurara saw Reira. She avoided her.
"Hi Tsurar-" Tsurara moved away from her, "-a," Reira finished her sentence. "What was with her?" Reira asked.
"I don't know. She won't talk to me," Rikuo said.
"Tsuraraaa!" Reira ran after her. Yuki Onna hid in a room before she saw her. "Huh, where is she? Either way, Rikuo how are the plans to stop your arranged marriage going?" Reira asked.
"Not very well, everyone is sort of…."
"Unreasonable?" Reira asked.
"I wouldn't say unreasonable, but…"
"Unreasonable it is," Reira said, "I hope you two cancel this marriage." She then walked off.
Whenever the coast was clear, Yuki Onna exited the room and was slinking towards Setsura's room. She was about to-
"Tsurara what are you doing?!" Awashima asked.
"Ahhhhh!" she screamed.
"Hahaha! You're funny Tsurara! I knew if I did that, you'd scream!" Awashima laughed. She hit Yuki Onna's back hard.
"Ow!"
"Either way, go see Reira, she's looking for you," Awashima said.
"Not until I talk to my mother!" Yuki Onna said angrily as she entered Setsura's room.
"Mom?" Yuki Onna asked.
"What is it, Tsurara?" Setsura asked.
"I want to stop this marriage," Yuki Onna said.
"I've heard you. Rikuo is a good man. He can provide for you," Setsura said.
"But we're like mother and son, or brother and sister," Yuki Onna said.
Setsura made a disgusted face, "I hope you don't actually consider each other that way. Otherwise that'd be weird," Setsura said.
"I do consider him that," Yuki Onna said.
"You'll see him a different way on your wedding night," Setsura said.
"So basically, I'm about to marry my son/brother until my wedding night?" Yuki Onna asked.
Setsura shrugged her shoulders, "Pretty much, yeah."
Yuki Onna sighed, "Don't think this is over!" She exited the room.
"It's never over, is it?" Setsura asked herself.
Rikuo went to Wakana. She was in one of the hallways. "Mom, please, don't make me marry Yuki Onna!" Rikuo begged.
"I'm sorry Rikuo. But Yuki Onna is a beautiful, healthy, female that makes you happy. That's pretty much how many marriages happen in the yokai world or in the older times," Wakana said.
"But I don't want to!" Rikuo said.
"You'll eventually want to. Just think about the type of girls you like. I'm sure that Yuki Onna is at least close to your type," Wakana said. Rikuo sighed. He walked away from Wakana.
It was night time. Rikuo was in his night form staring at the full moon.
"It's a great haunting night isn't it, waka?" Yuki Onna said with a shiny look in her eyes.
"Tsurara, that's great idea! Except that I don't want to," Rikuo responded.
"Tsurara!" Reira came around the corner and latched onto Yuki Onna, "I finally caught you!"
Yuki Onna looked away. She had an unusually icier aura. "Let. Go. Of. Me." she said coldly.
"What's wrong?" Reira asked.
"Should I leave you two alone?" Rikuo asked.
"No. You can stay," Reira said.
"Oh good! 'Cause I actually wasn't going to go away," Rikuo took a bag of popcorn and was watching them.
"Why have you been avoiding me?!" Reira asked.
"Why do you care? Oh wait, have you been drinking?!" Yuki Onna asked sarcastically.
"What is this about?!" Reira asked.
Yuki Onna looked away. She looked wounded, and small bits of tears were building up in her eyes. Yuki Onna looked down. "After the party," she said softly. "Does waka have to be here?" Yuki Onna asked. Both looked at Rikuo who currently had a mouthful of popcorn in his mouth which made him look like a chipmunk.
"Let's go on the roof, and DON'T you follow us Rikuo. I want to get this over with," Reira said.
The two yuki onna were on the roof.
"What happened at the party?" Reira asked.
Yuki Onna looked away, "After the party, you were really drunk."
"Uh-huh…" Reira said.
"And when I escorted you back to your room, before I dropped you off, y-you…..k-ki-kissed me," Yuki Onna said bashfully.
"Is that what this is about? I don't really remember. Wait a second, you like me don't you?" Reira said.
"NO!" Yuki Onna said.
"And you're hurt because you think I'm only attracted to you when I'm drunk!" Reira figured out.
"No," Yuki Onna looked away with tears in her eyes.
"Oh Tsurara, you're so silly," Reira said. She pulled Yuki Onna in.
"W-what are you doing? Y-you're not drunk again are you?!" Yuki Onna said nervously.
"Shhh. This time it's for real," Reira said. The two yuki onna shared a kiss on the roof.
The next morning, Yuki Onna was really jumpy.
"Waka! Wake up! The sun is shining and the birds are singing!" she yelled.
"Tsurara?! Is that you?!" Rikuo said confused.
"Of course it is!" Yuki Onna said gleefully.
"My theory is that she got laid last night!" Kejōrō said.
"Kejōrō, you're so filthy minded. I didn't get 'laid' last night," Yuki Onna said.
"Then my guess is that you got them to cancel this arranged marriage!" Rikuo suggested.
"Nope!"
"Then what is it?" Kejōrō asked.
"I think it's just the mood of today," Yuki Onna smiled as she looked in the distance. She ran off.
"Am I the only one who thinks she got some last night?" Kejōrō asked.
"Yes," Rikuo responded, "You're very perverted."
Yuki Onna ran to Reira's room. "REIRA!" Yuki Onna said lovingly, "I'm going to school!"
"You do that every day! Don't wake me up every time!" a grumpy Reira moaned.
"Okay!" Yuki Onna said happily.
"Just get out of here so I can sleep!" Reira grumbled.
"Fine! I just want to say good bye!" Yuki Onna said.
"Tsurara, I am warning you. Get. Out!" Reira said.
"You'll subconsciously be glad I did this!" Yuki Onna said as her final words before she exited the room. A telephone was immediately thrown the second she left. It landed hard against the washi paper. Luckily, there were no cracks.
Yuki Onna turned into her human form, Tsurara Oikawa. "Come on waka, we don't want to be late!" Tsurara said cheerfully. Now I have Reira to support me in ending this marriage! she thought gleefully. Even though I'm wondering how this happened, Tsurara is much better when she's happy! Rikuo thought. They walked to school.
"Hi Torii, Maki, Ienaga, Yura, Kiyotsugu, and Shima! Good morning everyone!" Tsurara yelled when she burst in.
"Pipe down Oikawa!" the teacher yelled.
"Yes sensei!" Tsurara said.
All of the friends looked at each other weirdly. What's got her all pepped up? they thought.
"What's gotten into you yokai?" Yura whispered to her.
"I just feel happy dear onmyouji!" Tsurara said.
"Okay, I'm doing this for your own good so you don't run into a locker or something. Hyah!" Yura knocked out Tsurara by hitting her hard with a chair. "And at last the world is saved from a crazy Tsurara," Yura said.
"Should I give you a detention for that?" the teacher asked.
"Believe me. She probably would have run into a window or locker like a drunken bird or something had I not knocked her out," Yura said.
The teacher shrugged, "Clean up!" Two students dragged Tsurara's body out of the classroom to the nurse's office.
Back at the Nura Clan Main House, Karasu Tengu ran into a wall with feathers flying everywhere. Inside Nurarihyon was discussing wedding plans with Setsura and Wakana when they saw a bird run into the wall. They all shrugged. The Sanba Garasu couldn't contain their laughter.
