Imayoshi Shouichi was casually watching you from your widow as your back face him and you're concentrating on your homework later that day after the two of you parted. Sometimes, he just wanted to devour you right there and then...but of course, he won't do that...not unless you let him.

It was then that moment when your mother knocked on your door...

"(name)-chan, I brought you cookies." The woman called, behind the door. "I'll come in now ok?"

"Have some cookies while doing homework." She said as she placed down the plate of cookies on your table.

"Don't forget to have dinner later okay? I'll call you when you father comes home. We'll have dinner together, the three of us." Was what she said before she left your room, almost immediately.

Imayoshi knows that you didn't notice the way your mother speaks in a hurt, placed down the plate on your table, smiled at you and immediately hurry out of your room like your room is burning her soul...

'If it wasn't already burning in hell...' Imayoshi added the thought, he watches you there sit on the floor, look up from your homework and smiled back to your mother as she leaves, closing the door behind her.

Imayoshi Shouichi watches you there silently, you cannot see him yet, he was just right there behind you sitting on your window sill, watching you stare at the cookie you are holding in your hand as you silently deliberate on doing something on it.

He noticed you flinch slightly as you silently stare at the cookie...then you took a small bite of it.

That action made Imayoshi Shouichi frown.

That exact moment he hopped off the window sill and let himself into your room. He waved his hand in the air as if to clean the air around you and his finger nails turned sharper and a little longer for a normal man to have.

When he kneeled beside you he wasn't the black haired Imayoshi anymore, instead was replaced by whitish silver and gold...

He watches as your eyes closes as you yawned and fall asleep on top of your homework. He maneuvers himself behind you and pulled you seated between his legs...the cookies fell of your hand down on the table as he pulled your back to him...closer...so close he could place his chin on the top of your head and let it rest there—but he didn't.

Your unmoving body leaned on top of him as he held your hand with his left one...while the other he let his free one on your stomach, hid nail making circle movements on your stomach.

"I told you to not accept any food from strangers, (name)-chan didn't I?" he whispered to your ears. "No matter whom was it from..."

Imayoshi watches as you peacefully lay there on his arms...his thoughts wonders between staying like that forever and taking you back with him somewhere where there's only the two of you...

Stopping the circular movements of his finger on your stomach, he opened his palm as if waiting for something to drop from it—and something did...a crystal –like ball floated and dropped magically on his palm.

He examines the thing and smiles before closing his palm crushing the ball easily into crystal dust.

"Thank you for taking care of it for me, I know you wanted to return it but you didn't find a good chance to do so..." the kitsune said to you.

"Now let's see..." he mused, "How to punish little girls who doesn't listen to my warnings..." Imayoshi then smiles to himself and carried you up like a sleeping princess and placed you down on the comforts of your bed.

He sits beside you and moves the strand of hair that is blocking your face.

"Ne, (name)-chan~" Imayoshi speaks, "Do you know you really look tempting like this?" he moves the back of his palm on your jaw, feeling the little warmth it provides him.

With a small grin on his face, the Kitsune leaned down on you and pulled your chin slightly and placed a kiss on your lips, he let his tongue wonder slightly on your unresponsive lips trying to coax you into opening your mouth, he heard you sigh into the kiss, and this make Imayoshi pull away- he was getting too much into this act...while he wanted you so much, he isn't one to take advantage of the dead.

He smiles contently; at least he was able to get a reaction from you.

"Tomorrow, you wake up. You go straight to me…I'll be waiting at the gym." He instructed in a whisper before leaning down once again and giving you a small kiss on your lips again then on your forehead.

"Mhn…senpai…" he heard you murmured in your sleep.

The kitsune stood up from your bed and wondered around your room, touching a couple of picture frames you have placed on the wall, and then he stops at the door; he placed his palm on the door of your bedroom and smiled deviously.

"You're probably nervous right now…" the kitsune Imayoshi speaks, "…for you to acquire such power...who gave you enough power…who did you consume?" he asked, "or rather, what kind of creature did you consume?" he corrected as he speaks to particularly no one from inside that room…instead, it's for something that is behind the door.

.-*-*-*-. imyoshi

Miyaka's face twitched in disgust as she held her breathe while inside your room—at first she was feeling good—everything smells nice from the kitchen to the cookies she personally baked for you, her precious daughter…but then when she entered your room, its reeks of animal feces…and more other smell.

She was going to comment about it but she didn't have enough time for that, she wants to leave your room immediately-NOW.

When she did, she was already panting and catching her breath. Her lungs feel like its being burnt.

"haah!" she exclaims, "What is it that that kid is hiding in her room- it freakin' stink inside!" she glared at your close door.

"Just little more time…" she promised to herself.

She walked back down to the kitchen to check on the dinner she was making, tonight, she's preparing for a feast.

It was past 9 when your father arrived. He was surprised to see Miyaka, your mother standing at the kitchen, still working the last and final touch of the salads and other more dish that she prepared…for two.

"Huh? You're still awake? Didn't I tell you I'll be late today- eh? What's the occasion?" he asked, surprised. The kitchen was decorated with curtains and there were candles and wine and over to the top unnecessary dishes that they don't really need to have- but Miyaki still prepared.

"What's the occasion? Do we need an occasion to have candle-light dinner, Anata?" she seductively whispered as she placed down the wine bottle down on the table and skipped to where he was standing at.

"We've been apart for more than a decade- it is just proper for us to have a little time for us…just you and me…" she pressed, "...forever."

"Wow…that's so sweet…" your father scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment, "I really didn't have anything to give you at the moment…I guess it's because I was used to being alone with just (name)." he excused, then his eyes wondered around the kitchen, "Ah, where is (name)?" he asks.

"Oh…" the woman's eyes narrowed fractionally at the sudden remembrance of the other person. "She's in her room; she didn't want to be disturbed. But I brought her something to eat earlier- she said she'll just come down when she's done." Miyaka explained, and smiled.

"So, what do you think?" she gave the man a smile, and he was just too nice to decline to the wife's offer; and so he sat down across her.

"No tea today?" he asked randomly when he looks for a tea pot nearby.

"No, not tonight." She smiles, "We won't need those teas anymore."

"Wow, that's great news." He cheers, "(name) always didn't like teas since the beginning." He smiled at the thought.

"Enough with your daughter's likes, let's have good time." She offers and pours down wine on his glass, and their night begun.

Their night went from good dinner to your father's bedroom—your mother sleeps in the guest room since she came back (it was her who proposed to have her own bedroom- since it'll be awkward to sleep again in the room with her husband after missing in action for a decade and more) and it was already half past 2 that morning when your father gets up from his bed leaving the person sleeping under the covers quietly.

"Anata, where are you going?" Miyaka asked as she reaches for his hand and pull him back to the bed.

"I'm sorry, but there are still papers that I need to review to be submitted to the higher-ups later in the afternoon." He smiled at her apologetically, "Just stay there and sleep. Don't worry I'll just be at my office downstairs." He assured her with a smile.

"Okay then. I'll just go back to my room…" She sits up and covers herself with the available sheets as she reached down for her clothes that were discarded on their way to the bed.

Your father didn't say anything to stop her, he just let her do as she wishes and this just made her frown as she picks up her clothes and is irritated as hell.

Your father went off first and he walks in front of your bedroom quietly, he opens the door and checks up on you. This action made Miyaka sadder though…your father is always paying so much attention to you…too much its already weird- Miyaka remembered that they argued already about it before…but today's probably the last time your father will have to worry about your presence.

*Miyaka's flashback*

'Why are you always looking after her, just her and only her?' Miyaka cries as they argue inside their room +10 years ago.

'What are you saying? I give you both equal attentions!' your father argues back.

'I don't see it that way~ since I gave birth to her- it was always her you pay attention to! Do you love her more than you love me? Do you love her romantically? She's just 4! That's pedophile!'

'What are you talking about?' My love for her is purely fatherly! Why are you thinking dirty stuffs like that! She's OUR daughter!'Miyaka's face twisted in anger, 'you spend too much time at your mother's province lately that you probably forgotten that you have a daughter yourself! Of course I'm the only one left to take care of her! Spend time with her, and see to yourself how adorable your own flesh and blood is before you accuse me just disgusting stuffs like that!' your father was clearly angry, he was disgusted at the thought that his own wife, the mother of his daughter (of this current time) is thinking such disgusting thing towards him.

He turns away and walks off to the living room where he found you sleeping, he looks at you with a small smile.

'I'm sorry you have to hear that…' he apologizes silently then he walks off out of the house.

Hearing the front door closing, Miyaka dashed from their bedroom to the front door trying to catch up with your father, crying.

'Wait- where are you going! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!'She begs as she hugs him from behind.

*end flash back*

Miyaka enters her bedroom, the guest room of your house. She walks in front of the mirror and nobody notices that the figure that the mirror shows is not human, instead, a woman wearing a Kimono with yellow and green patterns that almost go unnoticed because her skin was like that of the same color…her skin patterned beautifully together—not it wasn't just skin, if you look closely, its scales… scales of a snake…

Her body is like snakes…or rather, she's a snake herself.

She looks at herself with sadness in her eyes.

She's beautiful, yet she's a monster,

'Kiyohime' she calls herself.

She remembered a memory where she chases the one she loves, ANCHIN…the man who chooses Buddha rather than the beautiful her; then she kills him, then she vanished together with him…together with a giant bell too… her memory is hazy… but she remembers that there were monks chanting a prayer from a sutra that brought her soul to its eternal peace…or so that's what he thought…

A Thousand and more years ago, she wakes up again but in a place where she doesn't know where…she wonders around the snowy place but returned and always ended up in that temple…until a woman was sent up to deliver a letter to a relative that is a monk there.

The monk can see her, but he ignores her all the time. He's the only one who can see her, that old monk…until the younger woman came and smiled at her.

"Konichiwa." The woman greeted her; she could only look at the woman in disgust. She wasn't wearing anything like her own beautiful kimono- instead it was just a plain one, plain pink one.

"Are you from here? It's my first time seeing you." She asks on her way back.

"Yes." Was Miyaka's answer, "I'm from here; I'm the new waitress at the new restaurant down the road." She smiles at her own lies.

"Really, wow. You're so beautiful." The young woman touches her hair, Miyaka flinch away, "your hair is black and gold!" she commented, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hold your hair like that."

"It's fine. Just don't do it again." Miyaka said to her, then she follows her to the town, walking on foot, she was able to transform back to her human form away from the younger woman's eyes.

"Is this the restaurant you are working at?" the younger woman asked as she stops in front of the largest and most expensive restaurant in the town.

"Yes." She lied again.

"Okay then, see you around." She smiles.

Then a woman came out of the restaurant following behind a customer, who just finished eating…the customer is probably a high ranked noble.

"Thank you for coming, please come again soon." The woman called after the man.

"You there." She calls her, and then the woman suddenly was frozen in fear.

"O-obakemono—" before her scream was heard, she was already devoured by the serpent that is named Kiyohime.

One day she was walking around the village again, this time she sees the woman who took her from the temple she called purgatory and found her talking to a very handsome man.

Once again, Kiyohime's heart skipped a beat. She follows the man everywhere and every day, until he finally noticed her.

"You're Tsuki-chan's new friend aren't you?" he asks.

"Yes. You are?"

"I'm her lover."

And her hearts breaks immediately after she thought she has finally found her true love. Still, she smiles at him and they became good friends.

"Have you seen the traveler-san?" was how Tsuki, the woman who brought her down to the town calls her lover.

"No, why?" was Kiyohime's answer. "And why are you calling him traveler-san, he has a name right?

"We'll that's his dream! To travel around our country and to help and serve the shogun too! And anyways, I'm going to tell him very special news!" she excitedly sings, "I'm pregnant!" she announced and the Kiyohime hearted filled with anger, rage and jealousy…together with the thought of her previous lover, Anchin's betrayal, she grabbed the hair of the younger woman and dragged her to the forest where she eats her whole.

Tsuki went missing for days and months and the traveler wasn't able to find her.

"I really don't want to break this to you, but I know where she is." Kiyohime said to him, he was broken beyond repair.

She brought him to the forest where a small house was built, there inside stands a man with axe and is smoking, he was half naked, as the peek from the bushes, they were able to get a slight look of what was inside the house of the man…

The traveler's eyes widened and he was in rage, he draws his sword and Kiyohime herself was surprised as he suddenly attacked the man and stabbed him in the chest to death before he enters the house only to find the body of his beloved, lifeless and mutilated.

He began traveling since then, since he doesn't have anyone left besides his mother…that's when Kiyohime offered to be a replacement to Tsuki.

At night she slips under the same covers as him, and seduces him…one night, on the night that is supposed to be the wedding day of him and his beloved Tsuki, he let Kiyohime do as she pleases; he was out of his head…until the morning came.

"I'm very sorry!' he apologizes.

"Don't be- I wanted it too."

"But I didn't want-"

"This is a special thing to happen- Tsuki wanted together!" she suddenly said. That night was also a full moon.

"But I have a dream of traveling around the country—I cannot …this is a mistake"

"I don't regret it- whatever happens, you can come back home here with me!" Kiyohime smiled, ignoring his words.

"What is your name?" he suddenly asks, "I didn't get to know your name since we met." He says.

Kiyohime.

"…Miyaka." She answered after some thought.

"Miyaka."

A week, when he came home to his mother's house, Miyaka was there, she was smiling.

"You're going to be a father!" she exclaims.

"Father?"

Since then, the traveler left Miyaka with her mother as he travels around town to town to assist the shogun. He needs to work; soon he'll be having a family.

8 Months Later

Miyaka gave birth to a child, it was a month early than they were expecting, still they were happy, more likely his Mother is happy since the traveler himself isn't around that time.

"Are you ok, Miyaka-chan? You gave birth a month earlier than we are expecting."

"Yes, oka-san." Miyaka easily sits up like she didn't give birth at all. "Is it okay, the child?"

"It? Don't be like that dear, she is a beautiful baby girl." She shows the baby to Miyaka and left the child on her arms.

Miyaka studies the child on her arms carefully…the more she looks into its eyes, the more she remembers the smile of the young woman who helped her out of her purgatory.

"What shall we name her?" the mother of traveler-san asked.

"I don't know.' Miyaka didn't care at all, all she cares about is that her husband now is home and is carrying the child on his own arms. And he is very happy all of a sudden.

"Can I name her?" the traveler asks Miyaka.

"O-of course you can! She's our daughter after all."

"Then Yue…lets name her Yue."

Since then they called the young girl Yue. She was spoiled by her Father and grandmother and everyone around.

Miyaka hated the child. Miyaka hated her very much. She is taking all the attention of her husband from her.

One day she took the young Yue with her, they went up to the mountain cliff accidentally bumping into a random stranger with a black hair and a very beautiful Kimono that the little Yue suddenly pulled.

"Kimono!" She exclaimed, yanking the expensive cloth playfully.

"Are?" the man looked over his shoulder and saw the young girl holding the bottom of his kimono, the young girl looked up at her innocently.

"Kimono~" she sang again, the man giggled and patted the young girl's hair.

"Yue!" came the angry call of Miyaka as he comes after her "Why are you interrupting waka-sama!" she reprimanded her and lifted her up away from the young man before she apologized.

"I'm very sorry, waka-sama!" she can clearly recognize him as one of the rich people of the town…especially the way he wears his clothes. "This child is very troublesome. If you'd like to take her life now- I will not interfere." Miyaka says irritated, as she pushes the child on the ground forcing her to kneel.

"No- it's alright. She's a nice kid." The young man grinned at them, "She's very unique. Is she your daughter?" he asks.

Miyaka looked at the child who was looking up at the tall young man before them

"Tall!" she chirped.

"Yue. Behave!" Miyaka scolded again, and when she looks up at the young man before her, he was giving her a knowing grin…

"Heh~ the young girl smells so good." He commented, "Her mother is probably as beautiful as her right?" The young man commented lifting up Yue from Miayka's grip.

Yue giggled and grabbed the young man's hair and pulled them as she was playfully lifted in the hair. The young man winced but he didn't care…the child looked very happy.

"Very beautiful, took after her mother I presume?" he repeated his compliment as he eyed Miyaka.

"T-thank you." Miyaka blushed a little as the young man gave Yue back to her.

"I wasn't referring to you," He says, Miyaka's eyes widened in confusion, "I was talking about the child's biological mother, Kiyohime." The young man gave Miyaka a fox-like grin that shows his fangs, and the sudden mention of her identity froze Miyaka on the spot.

"You are the Kiyohime." He says, as he glares down at her "What are you planning with that kid?" he asks, "Eat it, like how you ate its mother?" Miyaka then suddenly dashed away in fear- the way the young man glared at her was like he was going to devour her to death- to extinction.

The young man laughed at Miyaka's action as his appearance changed,his hair suddenly grew long into a silver with golden strands but then his laugh stopped when he felt a presence- it was there already since the beginning, but he ignored it since it was weak and all and enjoyed tricking the Kiyohime creature earlier..he completely forgot about this one though…

The old woman stands there frozen as she saw him change into his original form

"You know, you'll die soon." He says to her, but she didn't move at all, she was looking right past him though "Are you not worried old woman?"

"Is-is that true- that woman ate the child's mother!?"

"EH? You're worried at that than your own life?"

"Is that true?!"

"Yes, that woman is a monster." He announced, "I am too, see?" he pointed at his tail, he has 3.

"Kiyohime…" was what the old woman says before she left the Kitsune there like an idiot.

"Eh?" The kitsune was confused, "I was rejected?" chuckling to himself, he continued to his way down town.

Months and days passed after that day and Miyaka was able to breathe freely when she didn't hear any stories of the Kiyohime wondering around the town… since her husband we went to another journey two days ago and will be back the next day…she decided to let Miyaka play on her own at her room.

"Miyaka can we talk." The old woman, the traveler's mother spoke, calling her from the kitchen.

"What is it mother?"

"The other month I heard a story." And the old woman started talking about the legend of the Kiyohime…

"Do you believe such things exists mother?" she asks nervously

"Yes. I saw you. And I heard you ate her!"

That was the last straw, and her fang appeared followed by her snake like appearance and body and the old lady wasn't surprised, she took out her sword and prepared to slit the throat of the snake but failed, instead she was the one who was killed. The scene was witnessed by Yue and she began crying, Miyaka tried to calm her down but she won't even let her near her, and she started running to the backyard to where she used to play with her friend….but before she could reach the peak, the snake woman caught her.

"You are as hell irritating as your mother, DAUGHTER." He pressed, and the young Yue cried when Kiyohime bit off a part of her side, making her bleed and faint because of blood loss..

Miyaka wiped the blood from her face and left the body of the young girl on the cold pathway as she transformed back to her human form and walked back to her house to clean the kitchen where she left mother.

When Miyaka got there, Mother was nowhere to be seen around the kitchen.

"Mother…don't play with me you old hag." She called as she walked irritated around the house- she needed to clean up before her husband gets back. When she stepped to the living room, mother's blood was already pooling there, here body in the middle of the bloody pool.

"Oh, poor thing." She commented, as she picked the samurai the old woman was holding—but it won't bulge. The old woman was holding it too tightly, and she decided to just pull her body to the cliff.

When he started pulling her a sudden pain hit the back of her neck past her throat.

The old lady chuckled.

"Die, snake monster." The neck of Kiyohime bleed, but she knows she'll recover immediately, she threw the old woman down on the floor before she pulled the sword off her neck.

"That won't kill me." She smiled bitterly at the old woman. "We could've lived happily if you just shut your mouth and learned your place." Then she slit her throat open.

The old lady choked to death with her blood. When she stopped moving, Miyaka noticed a paper on her hand, she picked it up and opened it.

Something was written on it…the ink was old and the paper's half was soaked in blood…she crumpled it and threw it randomly anywhere and held her neck…

"Shit, it hurts."

Then all of sudden, she started hearing voices. There were too many of them…it was like they were praying a familiar prayer… they are chanting a prayer—the sutra, the readings that once silenced her to her purgatory…

"NO!"

"STOP!"

"ENOUGH!"

She suddenly feels weak and half her body turned into her original form, a snake…monster…monster. She doesn't want to turn back- her husband will come home soon!

She managed to lock herself up at the storage room beside their house...there she weakly tried to survive…boxes fell down from the top bunk and buried her under.

"Weakling, Jealous wife!" she hears, "Do you want to get him back?" a voice asked.

"Yes…" Miyaka muttered. "Yes."

"Then wear me."

"ugh…" weakly, Miyaka reaches around her blindly for nothing…until her hand felt something on the floor…a NOH MASK.

"Wear me and let me absorb you." It ordered, and she did…she placed the mask on her head.

.-*-*-. Present .-*-*-.

Miyaka opened the closet and a red noh mask was the only thing hanging there…the color was the darkest shade of red.

"Finally. She's gone…again," Miyaka smiled at the noh mask, "Hannya."

"See, I told you so."

You woke up the next day but your head is hurting like hell…that exact time your mother opened the door with a "I'm coming in! I'm worried, (name)!"

When she opened the door, her eyes widened.

"How come you're still alive!" she shouted.

"Huh?" you were confused, "I was just sleeping the while night- ugh my back hurts" you complained.

"You two over there, what's the fuss?" Your father called as he walked past your room.

"Nothing dad." You grumbled standing up then your mother stomps off to her room, closing her door with a loud bang.

"What just happened?" you asked to particularly no one.

TBC

Wow…fucking lengthy. Sorry.

A/N (1): please don't forget to read!

So I was searching for mythological creatures to be used again…then I stumbled upon these two Hannya and the Kiyohime.

So while into it, the first and only thing that I know is that the Hannya is a mask portraying souls of jealous women who became demons. Then I stumbled into Kiyohime. While reading the 'story' behind it, I noticed that it was woman/daughter of a noble who fell in love to a travelling priest who realize that he cannot return his love, to be more precise, the woman has a one-sided feeling towards the priest. She chased him as he escapes, and when he crossed the river, the woman tried to swim after him, and in rage she turned into a giant female serpent and chased the man to the shrine across the river where she ended up killing him inside a bell. (I won't go into more details); anyway, as I work into it I noticed that the Hannya had a similar 'related' story to the Kiyohime. And now, since I don't have time to research more into it, I decided to just combine them together. I hope I won't offend anyone into combining these two mythological creatures—and making my own.

If you have watched Inuyasha, Naraku the demon absorbed a lot of other demons…let's just say they are like that too.

Anyways, Hannya Masks appears in various skin tones, mostly: white, red and darkest shade of red—probably bloody red right—or something darker than that I'm not sure what color is that already. Either ways, you can check out the stories of these creatures from Wikipedia and other more sites.

A/N (2):

Okay, another chapter again, I really should just remove this on my KnB loveshots folder…it needs a new and OWN story don't you think? But that will be troublesome. So I'll just probably continue the story together with my other KnB shots. I'm hoping to finish this story after the next 2 more chapters. I need to deal with my Akashi fanfic soon too. Then there's a lot more of fanfics to update. Lol

I hope this chapter entertained you guys.

Please comment your thoughts. What do you think?
