Ryu- Well, here is another chapter from me.

Amicably Apathetic – I'm glad you like what I've done to make this fiction.

shizu Fumikari – Those two are sometimes worshiped as Gods, but they are still considered yokai.

-xShiroi-chan – Yes I know, and it's not good to jump to conclusions. Oh, and pairings will still be there, just not as mild.

Seriyuu – Refer back to the top of chapter 7 for pairings that may appear or not.

Third

"What the heck are you talking about." Gokudera shouted.

Dai Kaze just scoffed. "As if I need to explain to a lowly yokai like you, who allows himself to be lead by a pathetic human. Hmph. Time has been wasted, and it is now time for you to die." Dai Kaze said.

Then Dai Kaze suddenly flew forward, and as he flew, two large blades shot out from his sleeves. Dai Kaze caught them and used them to slash at any unfortunate person, which happened to be some amateur excorcists.

Dai Kaze stopped a few feet away from the slaughtered exorcists and sneered.

"I would have thought that after speaking to that traitorous Spirit Weaver that you pathetic humans would put up a good fight.

Yokai – Spirit Weaver

Similar to The Fates of Greek mythology. (Which is also why Mukuro uses the name "Fate" for the second eldest.

With the "traitorous person".....

The two yokai were currently plugging their ears as Irie was screaming quite loudly.

"Jeez. I mention one bit of pain and he starts screaming." 'Fate' said, and then approached Irie once he was out of breath. "Why the heck were you screaming!" 'Fate' yelled.

"Because it's just like with Byakuran-san." Irie said.

"Oh you mean the guy standing behind you." Irie yelped and turned around, causing 'Fate' to smirk. "Just kidding." 'Fate' said and then bonked Irie on his head. Smoke appeared once again, and Irie wasn't able to turn around because the pain hurt, but he did notice something, but couldn't figure it out as he was grabbed by his neck.

"It would have been a pinch had you not screamed, but now it has been upgraded to a hit. Now lets go." 'Fate' said as they walked (er, one walked, one was carried) out of the cave. The flames went out and then it became dark as they left.

Back to the battle.....

"That's because they're not qualified to fight you." Yamamoto said.

"Oh, and just who is- Oof!" Dai Kaze said before Tsuna raced forward and used a successful uppercut on the yokai, who became much more angered and proceeded to slash at Tsuna, but then he stopped when the wind changed.

Everyone froze as Dai Kaze turned round to meet Byakuran's eyes.

"You smell of the Third. For that, I will kill you." Dai Kaze said as he charged. Byakuran merely just stood there, he didn't even even move when Dai Kaze was bringing down his blade, but Byakuran did move to stop the blade with just two of his fingers.

"My my, you're quite the stupid one aren't you." Byakuran said as he hold on the blade did not lessen while Dai Kaze tried to get control of his blade back. "You say you are the rightful third, and then you say I smell of the Third. What are you talking about?" Byakuran said as he ripped the sword out of Dai Kaze's grasp and cut Dai Kaze's arm off.

That was all everyone saw before Byakuran's subordinates created a smokescreen, covering the two. Now all everyone could hear crunching and yelling from Dai Kaze.

When the smoke cleared, Dai Kaze had even more lacerations, the arm lost arm was no longer there, and there was blood on Byakuran's mouth. Everyone, mainly the yokai knew it was not his blood.

Dai Kaze coughed up blood before growling in frustration. "Argh! I'll remember this!" Dai Kaze yelled as he and the remaining Tengu that were alive, disappeared in a whirlwind of feathers and leaves.

All everyone could do was wonder what Byakuran had done, but since they could only have theories, they had to check for damages, casualties, and then return to the meeting to learn more about what happened.

At the meeting.....

As everyone returned to the meeting room, 'Fate' was casually waiting there. Everyone got the hint when 'Fate' didn't say anything, and they all went to sit.

"Now, before I was rudely interrupted-" 'Fate' before being interrupted.

"Where's Shou-chan?" Byakuran asked.

'Fate' glanced at Byakuran, and those that were sensitive to auras, were immediately aware of "Fate's" irritation, but also, concern?

All that disappeared, as 'Fate' took something out from under the cloak and threw it at Byakuran.

"There he is, now as I was saying before-" 'Fate' said before being interrupted once again.

Everyone began to murmur as they looked at what was in Byakuran's hands. It was a puppy, no, it was a wolf pup, more specifically, a red wolf pup. (1)

When the wolf pup opened it's eyes, they saw familiar green eyes. They could also tell that the wolf pup was dizzy, probably from being thrown. When the wolf pup regained it's senses, its body froze as its head turned.

When it met Byakuran's eyes, it yelped, hairs standing on end as the wolf pup tried to run away, but Byakuran was quick.

"Oh, it is Shou-chan. What happened to you." Byakuran said as he began to hug the wolf pup.

"Ahem, as I was saying before I was interrupted, and if anyone interrupts me again, I will castrate them." Everyone cringed, seeing as they were mostly men. "Anyway, Irie was blessed by a yokai. When that happens, the yokai gives it's life force to that person, and they gain whatever the yokai had."

Byakuran opened his mouth to say something, but 'Fate' took out a dagger and pointed it at Byakuran, who shut his mouth.

"The yokai that blessed Irie-san was the Third Eldest." 'Fate' said.

"Oh, so that's why-" Byakuran said before he had to dodge a dagger aimed at his nether regions.

"Interrupt me again and next time I won't miss." 'Fate' said before glaring, or, that's what everyone thought 'Fate' was doing.

"To make things short, the Third was and Okami. As you all know, Okmai are known to be fierce, but also gentle. Okami had a certain liking for humans, and thus wanted to save Irie-san. Nowanyquestions." 'Fate' rushed out.

"May you tell us more about the Ancients?" Tsuna asked.

1. I was looking at pictures of wolves and saw a picture of a red wolf pup. The image of a puppy Shou-chan came into my mind, and that's when I decided.
