They soon arrived at the classroom. They got their things and headed to the infirmary.
"We're back, Tsurara. Let's—" Rikuo was cut off by Tsurara's hug.
"Master!" she cheerfully said.
"Let's go home. We still need to tell this to Grandpa." He said.
As soon as he said that they went home, as they walk, the sun was setting almost nighttime.
Finally, they arrived.
As soon as Rikuo putted down his things he rushed to Nurarihyon.
"Grandpa! I have something to discuss with you about."
"What is it, Rikuo?" Nurarihyon said while swaying the wooden sword on the air.
"The…Shadow-Wind Yokai's….are on the move.."
"You mean them?" Nurarihyon paused.
"Unfortunately, yes, Grandpa.." Rikuo slowly nodded.
The wind blew into Rikuo's hair. The warm sun was engulfed by darkness, the cold night came upon. It was Night Rikuo's turn.
"Grandpa, let's get serious." Rikuo said as his crimson eyes looked into Nurarihyon.
"This yokai's, what are they really?" Rikuo asked.
"They are fearsome monsters." Nurarihyon said.
"Kage-Kaze Yokai also known as Shadow-Wind yokai, they are capable of doing things. It can manipulate both winds and shadows." He added.
The night grew deeper, the air sent shivers upon humans.
Something is lurking somewhere in the dark..
"But…what bothers me is why it wants to get closer to Tsurara…It's like she's the only person it sees.." Rikuo's crimson eyes looked into the candle.
"I believe the yokai took a liking for her." Nurarihyon finally said.
"L-like?" Rikuo reluctant to ask.
"Yes, the Shadow-Wind yokai may have fallen for her…though I'm not sure but from stories, it curses the woman it took a liking." He said.
"curse? What cu—"
"KYAAAAA!" Tsurara screamed.
"Ah! That was Tsurara!" Rikuo grabbed Nenekirimaru and zoned out to find Tsurara. He got to her room and saw the leader of the Shadow-Wind yokai escaping and Tsurara with him, unconscious.
"What the-OI!Wait!" Rikuo shouted and jumped out to reach the yokai. He tried to slash his sword to him but the yokai was too fast and was able to dodge it.
"You must have heard about me? The folklores about me.. cursing the young woman I have laid my eyes on..?" The leader said.
"So what about it?!" Rikuo shouted.
The yokai laughed and said, "This woman will be mine once she open her eyes."
"What? What do you mean!?" Rikuo exclaimed.
"My curse takes 3 days to take effect. Once I curse her, she will fall asleep continuously for 3 days and the first guy she'll see is the man she will fell in love with. So, I need to keep her by my side and wait for her to open her eyes right in front me." The leader explained. "I'll be going then~ see you soon, 3rd commander of Nura Clan." He bid farewell and vanished into thin air.
"Wai-!Don't mess with me!" Rikuo angrily said.
