Yokai Shorts: Dremona's Night-Off Part 1

The night has fallen over Sakura New Town. Most of the people are now sleeping comfortably and peacefully in their bed. However, this is the not story of our heroes or the fair citizens of the town. This is the story of one female Yokai, who wonders around during the night and seeks her purpose and place of living.

"Aaah," Dremona sighed as she walked around.

"I know that I said to Yuray-san that I will find a new place to stay, so that I can keep myself from causing problems to other people, but finding a new home is so hard. What am I going to do?"

As she passed by each house while walking, her aura caused each person in the home to scream as they wake up from their nightmare.

"I just can't find a good place to live! Oh, what am I gonna do? I don't want to disappoint Yuray-san, and…Ken-san," she mumbled as she blushed a bit when she thought about Ken.

"Maybe I should have asked them for help, but I don't want to ask them now. It is late now." She continuedwondering around until she stopped and smelled something.

"Mmmm, that smells good. I wonder who is cooking," she said as she followed the delicious aroma.

She came upon an "Oden" stand that owned by a male human, a bold guy with a mustache. She looked at the Oden stand and the owner noticed her, which caused her to fringe shyly.

The owner waved his hand in a way to tell her to come. She thought for moment, but the aroma of the Oden foods caught her attention. She slowly moved forward and eventually sat on the chair near the counter.

The Oden stand owner gave her a bowl of Oden. "Oh! Thank you very much," she said shyly.

She looked at her bowl of Oden soup. It looked very warm and delicious. She took chopsticks and held one of the foods. She put it in her mouth and chewed, releasing the taste. It warmed her heart, and she began eating it more.

"Mmmm, this is delicious," she thought.

"Well, well. I never have seen such a pretty Yokai girl during this hour." She gasped and turned around to see aYokai customer.

This Yokai looked very strange. He had a human face, very handsome face, but his body was a white poodle.

"Oh! Um, he..hello," she greeted shyly.

"Hello there, Young Lady. Are you alone? May I join in?" He said as he already sat on the chair next to her.

"Oh! Um, I…I don't mind…at all," she answered hesitantly.

"The regular please," said the strange Yokai as the owner gave him a glass of water. "So, what is your name,cutie?"

"Cutie?!" She squeaked, which surprised the strange male Yokai.

"Ha, ha, ha! You are very interesting girl, and there is no need to be shy. I will start my introduction. My name isDandoddle. Aren't I…fabuluous?" He introduced as he wavered his fur hair.

"Oh, well, it's nice to meet you. My name…is Dremona," she greeted shyly.

"Huh?" Dandoddle looked confused. He noticed that his power didn't have an effect on her, but he shrugged that thought away for now. "I see. That is a fabulous name. Do you come here often?"

"Huh? Oh no!" She rejected as she waved her arms around. "This is my first time here."

"I see. I come here occasionally when I want a drink," Dandoddle said as he took a sip. "The toilet water here is the best."

"Wait. That's a toilet water?" Dremona asked.

"The master here serves well to us, Yokai. I am sure other Yokai comes here to taste Master's delicious oden,"Dandoddle said as he took another sip. "So, may I ask why you are late this night?"

"Oh! Well, you see…I am looking for new home, so I won't cause anyone a trouble," Dremona said honestly.

"You? Cause a trouble? No, no, no," Dandoddle disagreed. "You don't look like someone who can cause harm to others. You are sweet and fabulous Yokai lady."

"Tee hee. Thank you," she thanked him. "Well, I guess I better leave now."

"You're sure?" Dandoddle asked.

"Yes. I really enjoyed talking with you, Dandoddle-san. And thank you for the oden, Master." The master replied by nodding his head. "Goodbye and enjoy your toilet water."

Dremona walked away as the master and Dandoddle saw her go away.

"My, my. She is such a fabulous Yokai girl. I wish I can talk with her more," Dandoddle said as he grinned.

"She sure is. If you don't mind, could you pay for her oden?" Master asked.

"Wait, what?" Dandoddle asked, looking a bit surprised.

As Dremona continued wonder off for the night, she thought about her time for tonight. "I didn't found a new home, but I did found a delicious oden and talked with a…interesting Yokai. Tonight was delicious and warm."


-Chapter 11-

Itchy Infection

One month had passed since I moved here, to Sakura New Town. Since then, a lot of weird stuff happened. To start off, I got this strange device called Yokai Watch, which allows me to see Yokai and first Yokai I meet isYuray, who is now my Yokai maid. I met many Yokai since I got this watch, like Dizzy-Top, Violeton, Lasagnyan(who now kind of live with me), InuKamen, and others. I also learned that one of my new classmates named Keita also owns a Yokai Watch, and he has a Yokai butler named Whisper, who is not particularly useful Yokai, but whatever. I also met his Yokai partner, Jibanyan, who he summons most of the time. Every time I meet a newYokai, something weird and mishaps always happen. Like the time when Keita became this very weird with his face. (Not to mention Jibanyan and Whisper's face. Just plain creepy. Ewwww.) Insomni, one of the Yokai I met, came back again and caused everyone to be very drowsy. However, thanks to Keita's Yokai friend, Baku, we managed to stop her…again. Above all, it has been very stressful….but, I'm kind of getting used to it and somewhat enjoying it. I don't want to admit that to Yuray, but maybe I will tell her about it someday.

"Wooo, it's hot today," Ken commented as he sweated while walking to school.

Yuray pulled out an umbrella to give him a shadow. "Do not worry, Master Ken! I will not let the Sun give you any sunburn!"

"Um, thanks, Yuray," Ken said as he had a sweatdrop.

They arrived at the school in time, and began their first classwork.

"And so to find the solution for this problem, you have to…" said the teacher as he wrote stuff on the board, and scratched his arm at the same time.

"So, does anyone have any questions?" asked the teacher as he scratched his back.

"Sensai, could you repeat it again?" One of the students requested.

"Sure thing! As you can see, it is quite simple…" Teacher began again as he scratched even more. "Uuuh, so itchy today. Rrrrrgh…!"

"What's wrong with the teacher today?" Ken wondered.

"As I was going to say, the way to find the answer to this….uuuuhhh!" The teacher scratched even more and more until he couldn't stop.

"Sensai, are you alright?" Fumika asked.

"Oh, no worry. Do not worry, class. Um, why don't you all read and work on your workbook while I go and talk with the nurse? I will be back," said the teacher as he excused himself while still scratching himself.

Everyone wondered the same thing, like Ken, but decided to do what they were told.

"OK….Well, everyone," Fumika announced. "As your class representative, I will be keeping an eye on the class while the teacher goes to the nurse."

"Hai!" Everyone agreed, especially Keita.

Eventually, recess time began. "Boy, that was weird of the teacher. I wonder if he has an allergy or something," Ken wondered as he walked down the hallway, minding his business.

"I don't know, Master Ken, but I have a strange feeling about your teacher today. He was scratching a lot, more than necessary," Yuray said.

"You think?" Ken said sarcastically.

"Uuuh, so itchy…" Ken turned around the corner to see some of his classmates scratching themselves, whom were Kuma and Kanchi.

"Oh, why do we feel so itchy all of a sudden?" Kuma asked as he moaned and scratched his back.

"No clues," Kanchi said. "Let's go to the nurse office to get some ointment."

"Those two, too? There must be a lot of misquotes today," Ken thought aloud.

"Something is not right about this," Yuray said.

By the time the recess was over, only few students came back, including himself, Yuray, Keita, Fumika, and Whisper.

"Hey Ken, where is everybody else?" Keita asked.

"That's what I want to know as well," Ken shrugged.

"Where is everyone else?" Fumika wondered aloud.

"Attention, students!" They looked up to hear the announcement speaker. "This is an urgent emergency announcement. Today's evening classes are all cancelled due to a strange infection that causes everyone to itch. We would like all students to go back home, and recommend you to meet the doctor to stop the spread of the infection. Thank you very much and have a nice day. Scratch…Scratch…"

"The school got canceled today," Fumika said as she sounded very surprised.

"Master Ken," Yuray spoke. "This must be the work of a Yokai!"

"Oh, Yuray, you're naïve maid. I, Whisper, your senpai butler, know that this can't be the work of a Yokai. Perhaps there is a weird infection caused by bacteria or virus. Like the school announcer said, we should immediately go back home and not be infected," Whisper said as he already had a mask over his mouth.

"I don't know Whisper, but I think Yuray may be onto something, like she is always right compared to you," Keita said forwardly.

"Whaat!?" Whisper gasped as he fell over his head.

"Uuuuuuhh!" They turned around to see Fumika scratching uncontrollably.

"Fumi-chan!" Ken shouted.

"OK, this is definitely a work of Yokai," Ken claimed as he used his Yokai Watch. His watch detected a strange shadow, which revealed the culprit.

The Yokai was a blue armored scorpion. It had white eyes with red pupils, and the body was heavily armored. Its size was a bit bigger than the average scorpion, enough to crawl underneath the sofa.

"Who is that Yokai?" Keita questioned.

"Ah ha! So, it was that Yokai that causes all the itchiness! That's Slurk!" Yuray pointed out.

Slurk-Tribe: Slippery, Attribute: Fire

"He is a Yokai that causes unbearable itching. He is famous for "Oh! I can't stand it, but I must scratch it!" incidents throughout Japan," Yuray explained.

"Yes, exactly like how I taught you, Yuray," Whisper said confidently.

"You didn't teach me anything," she mumbled.

"Well, whatever it is, we got to stop it!" Keita stated seriously.

"Slurk! Slurk!" Slurk crawled away as it ran away.

"It's getting away!" Keita chased after the Yokai.

"Let's go!" Ken declared as he chased after it, too.

They chased after the Yokai. As they did, Ken discussed things with Yuray. "If we defeat Slurk, will the itchiness go away?"

"Yes, it will," Yuray said as they chased after the troublesome, small Yokai.

They chased Slurk from classroom to classroom, making a bit of mess on the way. The boys, and their respectiveYokai butler and maid eventually trapped the Yokai at the rooftop of the school.

"There is no way for you to escape, Slurk! You make everyone and everything go back to normal!" Keita demanded.

Slurk used its pincher to do the "Na ah ah" finger swinging at Keita, which irritated.

"OK! If you want to play it that way, then I will give it to you!" Keita declared as he took out one of his Yokaimedals. "My friend, come out, Jibanyan! Yokai Medal, set on!"

"Summoning Charming!" The familiar and popular red cat Yokai appeared as he danced cheerfully. "Alarming, boom, boom! Walla, walla, dance, dance, Charming!"

"Jibanyan!" Jibanyan appeared.

"I will summon mine as well," Ken said as he followed up and then inserted his Yokai Medal, too.

"Summoning Charming!" His cat Yokai appeared as she did her western folk dance style. "Alarming, boom, boom! Walla, walla, dance, dance, Charming!"

"Lasagnyan!" Lasagnyan appeared next to Jibanyan.

"Nyaaaaaaaa. Why did you summon me at a time like this, Keita-kun?" Jibanyan asked as he yawned, looking very sleepy.

"Sorry to interrupt your nap, but I need your help, Jibanyan!" Keita demanded.

"But, I don't wanna! I was having a good dream about the NyaKB48 until I woke up when you summoned me,"Jibanyan said as he took out his favorite snack and gets ready to eat it.

"Come on, you lazy bum! Don't be so negative to your partner!" Lasagnyan said strictly as she swiped thechocobar from him.

"Aaah! My chocobar!" Jibanyan gasped as he then turned around with an angry face. "Why did you do that for!?"

"You can have this candy back after you help your human partner, Tomato Bum," Lasagnyan responded.

"Tomato Bum? I am not Tomato Bum! My name is Jibanyan!" Jibanyan echoed in upset and mad tone.

"Enough argument, you two! We got a Yokai to stop!" Ken exclaimed.

"Right, y'all!" Lasagnyan remembered as she focused on Slurk, ignorning Jibanyan for now.

"My chocobar…" Jibanyan moaned as tears fell from his eyes like a waterfall while in his fighting pose.

Slurk made the first move by extending his tail to sting at the two Yokai cats.

"Watch out!" Keita warned. Lasagnyan and Jibanyan dodged.

"Here comes my attack! Paws of Fury!" Jibanyan attacked as he threw multiple paw punches at the Yokaiscorpion.

However, its armored body withstood the red Yokai cat's attacks.

"Ouch! My paws!" Jibanyan moaned as his paws were swollen in redness.

Lasagnyan caught Slurk by its tail with her lasso. "Got you now, little scorpy!"

Slurk had another thought. He waved his stinger tail to swing the lasso with Lasagnyan.

"Wooooaaaahh!" Lasagnyan screamed, hitting Jibanyan.

"Ooof!" Jibanyan got hit.

"Sorry, Tomato Kitten! Are you alright?" Lasagnyan asked.

"Chocobar…." Jibanyan mumbled as his eyes twirled with chocobars floated around him.

Slurk found its chance. It extended its tail again and stung both Jibanyan and Lasagnyan, causing them to have a horrible itch.

"Nyaaaaaa! So itchy!" Jibanyan cried as he scratched his back.

"My body feels so itchy like a dog with tribe of fleas living in his fur!" Lasagnyan exclaimed as she scratched herself, too.

"That Yokai is tough! What are we gonna do?" Keita looked worried.

"Don't worry, Keita! I have an idea," Ken said as he took out another medal. "Time to call you, Violeton!"

He inserted Violeton's medal into his Yokai Watch. "Speedy artful! Tra-la-la-la, everywhere, Heartful!"

"Violeton! Ho, ho, ho," Violeton laughed as he appeared.

"Violeton! Play soothing music to stop Slurk!" Ken ordered.

"Yes sir! Ho, ho, ho," Violeton said as he started playing the music.

The soothing music stopped Slurk as it calmed him down. Even Jibanyan and Lasagnyan calmed down from their scratching just by hearing the song.

"So soothing," Jibanyan said, feeling very relaxed.

"Slurrrrkkkk," said Slurk as he looked relaxed and giving up. His body shined up a bit, summoning out his YokaiMedal as it floated to Ken.

"Alright, we did it!" Keita cheered. "And you got Slurk's medal, too!"

"Congratulations, Master Ken! Good thinking, too," Yuray cheered, too.

"Yes, indeed. Just like how I would have done it," Whisper said, showing off.

"Right," Keita said doubtfully.

Fortunately, the itchiness stopped for everyone who was possessed by Slurk. Everyone went back home without any itches.

"Slurk, slurk," Slurk said.

"Mr. Slurk said that he apologizes for causing a trouble to the school," Yuray said as she translated what the Yokai said.

"Well, no problem I guess. Just don't do it here," Ken said.

"Slurk, slurk!" Slurk looked happy that it jumped on Ken's face, and accidentally stung its tail on his face.

"Aaah! Ken!" Keita exclaimed.

"Oh no!" Yuray gasped.

"Get off me!" Slurk got off, and ran off while Ken scratched his itchy face uncontrollably, and soon the itchiness spread throughout his body. "Ah, dang it! Curse you, SLURK!"

"Slurk, slurrrk!" Slurk hissed as he laughed.


Hello, guys. Another new chapter, and starting from this one and beyond, I will be doing my own Yokai shorts, just like how the anime does it. "Dremona's Night-Off" is an idea suggested by HouseCity101, who created Dremona. There will be many more Yokai shorts, and I will try to get another shorts in the next chapter. Thank you for eveyone who submits an idea for shorts, and if you have one, you may say so in your review or PM me about it.

This chapter introduces Slurk, created by Martyn. Finally, Ken got his first Yokai Medal from the Slippery Tribe!

With that all said, I will get one or two more chapters next week. The summer is coming to a close, but this story is taking place in summer, which will last a bit longer. I will also try to make this story a bit consistent with the anime, like mentioning events that actually happened in some episodes from the anime, like how I did it in this chapter.

I hope you guys are enjoying your summer and see you again next time :)
