Author's Note: So I just learned that, the line I put in my microsoft word document to show that time has passed wasn't added, sorry about some confusions you may have gotten from the first two chapters XP
Now my thoughts: Yes really short chapter, I just wanted to get on with the story so I found the conference room kind of boring if I decided to write a large chapter about it.
From now on, I'm going to put the "Possible" title of the next chapter. I say possible because sometimes I change the title of the chapter while finding out that chapter took a different course of plot that I intended. I might also put a spoiler in the title because I don't know what to name the chapter without that spoiler. (If this next chapter title thing is a bad idea just tell me I'll remove it.)
I'll try to continue writing a new chapter per week. So basically a weekly update. I bet now that I said that I might break that...promise?
NOW ENJOY! : D
Rio Nura turned around, his eyes opened wide. A man with a blue robe and long white hair stood before him. The cherry blossom tree started to drop its leaves.
"Didn't your mother tell you that you aren't allowed to see what the grown ups are talking about? It's a personal discussion between the Nura Clan heads." Rikuo stood behind Rio, talking to him from a business stand point.
"Well they were getting mad, so I thought, it would have been better if they stopped getting impatient if…" Rio nervously explained. "I temporarily took your place."
Rikuo let out a large sigh. "When I was your age, I didn't even want to be involved with any of this Youkai business. Right now I'm the one who is leading all Youkai, while you can live a normal life."
"Normal life? How boring." Rio yawned.
He's completely different from me. Rikuo shook his head. "Good now that you understand, go to sleep, go to school and stay normal.
"Ugh, fine dad." Rio agreed as he lazily made his way to his room.
Rikuo opened the door to the conference room. Everyone stared at him, raised their drinks in the air and cheered.
"Well well well, look who's late." Hitotsume, the one eyed demon head, negatively greeted.
"Can you shut up and stop badmouthing the third all the time?" Zen scolded him and shook his fist at him.
"Rikuo is way more capable than you. He didn't keep us waiting for that long Hitotsume." Gyuki also joined in to defend Rikuo.
Rikuo sat down at his spot in the conference room. "I know that many of you have heard of my son Rio turning into a Youkai."
The room began to chatter loudly, agreeing that they've heard the story.
"I'm far too young to even give up my position as your leader. However since I only have a quarter of Youkai blood, and Rio has half, I would have to give up my position earlier than most commanders. However that is still decades from now, so not to worry!"
The Youkai heads seemed to be okay with the situation.
"Don't worry, our son Rio won't be the fourth for a long time!" Tsurara cheered and took a sip of her drink.
"Now that I'm done my 30 second speech, you may all leave or party, whichever is fine, just make sure Rio can't hear you, he has school tomorrow." Rikuo got up and opened the door.
The whole room went into an uproar.
"I know I defended you like a minute ago Rikuo. But, I travel hours from my home to here, then wait 30 minutes just for you to talk for 30 seconds? Don't know you my body can't handle that sometimes?" Zen growled.
"Hmph, I got it!" Rikuo scratched his head while smiling. "Go party in this room, I'm tired. Good night." He closed the door on them.
"I'll show him who lives a normal life!" Rio grumbled as he walked to school. His fever had died out. He met up with Misaki and Toru and they all walked to school together.
"Yay Rio's fine now!" Misaki cheered as they walked to school.
Toru looked around them. "Okay its safe, no kidnappers. Let's go!"
Rio acted disgusted with Toru's attitude. "How can you be so hyped up for school?"
"I'm not; it's just a celebration of being safe!" Toru answered him.
The three had reached the school and began classes normally. People had been wondering how Rio was after they had heard the story of what happened to the three but no one bothered to ask.
"Yo Rio, schools over for today, what do you wanna do?" Toru asked him.
"I don't want to go home yet, it's boring over there." Rio told them. Not really all the heads are there but I don't talk to a lot of them. It's like a Youkai party at my house everyday. "Let's just go to the school's park."
Misaki and Toru nodded their head in agreement and they walked a short distance from the school to the park. They played and just generally hung out till the evening.
Misaki pointed towards a group of people. "Hey soccer practice just ended right?"
Rio spat on the floor. "Yeah it did and that's them right there."
"They practice pretty late huh?" Toru raised an eyebrow.
"The soccer team are a bunch of snobs, and they're coming to the park too, should we just leave?" Misaki asked them. It was obvious that she was slightly intimidated by them.
"Are you seriously scared of the soccer team? I know you fell asleep at the end, but we almost died a few days ago." Rio said to her casually.
"Yeah to a werewolf…But these guys are a bunch of bullies." Toru whined.
"Heh, what are you three doing here so late?" The captain of the soccer team, Isao, asked them with attitude in his voice. Three other members of the soccer team were with him.
"J-j-just…h-h-hanging out?" Toru stuttered, scared of the situation.
Rio walked up to Isao's face. "Is there something wrong with that?"
"Of course there is, I heard how you three got kidnapped and that's why you three weren't there on that day of school. That's pathetic. Not only that but you still have guts to remain outside after that incident?" Isao laughed at them.
"You guys are more pathetic than us. I bet you would have died if you were in our situation." Rio smirked.
"Because the werewolf woulda ripped them to shreds." Toru coughed.
Isao gripped his fist. "Werewolf? Are you guys messed up in the head, those things don't exist. I think those kidnappers messed up your head pretty bad. Lemme show you how we would have taken care of the kidnappers." He punched Rio in the face and Rio was sent flying.
"Rio!" Misaki and Toru shouted in unison.
A cloud of dust formed from Rio's crash landing and they couldn't see how he was.
"He's done. Oh Toru!" Isao sang. "You're next." Isao brought his dominant arm back as the other members grabbed Toru by the arms.
The cloud of dust around Rio cleared. Rio disappeared and was replaced by someone with long blue hair, blue eyes and a blue robe.
"You're…" Misaki stared at him, shocked that he was in front of her sights.
Night Rio had demonic eyes glaring at the soccer captain. He unsheathed his sword. "You better let Toru go."
"The one that saved us!"
Possible Title of Next Chapter: The First Sighting of a REAL Youkai?
