Aoi Refuses To Marry The Ayakashi

[The Inn]

[Luna is staring at all the Ayakashi when the one that brought them there begins removing his mask. His face was so handsome, He has red eyes with flowing black hair falling to his shoulders and that he has horns on his head and fur around the collar and regal robes.]

''He's an Ogre says Aoi

''How are you feeling my lovely bride says Ayakashi

''What? Do you mean me? says Aoi

''Yes Aoi I mean you. You are going to be my wife says Ayakashi

Huh Wait hold on a minute says Aoi

''Master think this through with all due respect maybe she's not the right choice says Ayakashi2

''He's got a good point says Ayakashi3

''Pulling a lonely human girl like this one she's ugly and far too skinny says Ayakashi 4

''That's mean I can hear you says Aoi

''She's nowhere near suited for you Master says Ayakashi2

[Luna seeing there was a door to the right takes Aoi's arm and pulls her out of the room until she reaches two double sliding doors and opens it to see they are outside on a balcony...overlooking a beautiful land with flying ships in the sky...Luna was in awe]

''We're are we? says Luna

''You're in the hidden Realm says Ayakashi

''We are in the Hidden Realm...This is so strange says Luna

''This building where you find yourselves is known as tenjin-ya says Ayakasha

''Wait I seen this building and this place before...In one of Aoi's grandpa's things. But who are you? says Luna

''[He turns to look at Luna narrowing his eyes at her gently.] ''I'm the Inn Keeper of Tenjin ya and they call me Ogre God and sometimes Master Inn Keeper or you can call Odanna says Odanna

''I saw you in that picture then you knew my grandfather He can also see Ayakashi, did he come here too? says Aoi

''He did and I'm a very old friend of his actually and so I am the Ogre who will become your husband says Odanna

''That again, stop with that nonsense you're making all this stuff up and I'm not having any of it says Aoi

[Luna gasps turning to see another Ayakashi come behind them.] ''Careful Aoi says Luna

''Hey you will show him respect says Ayakashi2

''I am not making this up, Your grandfather or Shirou as I called him promised you to me along time ago says Odanna

''That's a lie he did whatever he wanted but there's no way he'd never have made that promise without asking says Aoi

''Shirou had the ability to travel between worlds the apparent realm where Humans dwell and in this the Hidden Realm One day he went on an extravagant spree here at tenjin-ya which sent him deep into debt so he struck a deal if he couldn't pay me back he'd give me his granddaughter in marriage in place of payment thus to put it delicately you are his collateral says Odanna

''What? How could he? says Luna

''So that means you are required to marry me you have no choice says Odanna

''No way you just kidnapped me and Luna how could I agree to this and besides I do not want to marry an Ogre I refuse that's final says Aoi

''You won't no matter what then I see I had better make sure that my bride knows her place around here says Odanna

''Huh says Aoi

[Odanna claps his hands and three servant girls come over and bows before him] ''Give my bride the torture in hell treatment says Odanna

''Wait...What about Luna what is going to happen to her? says Aoi

''[Odanna looks at Luna seeing she has been silent and filled with fear and uncertain as he walks over to her he reaches out and takes her face in his hand. She swallows waiting for him to make an order.]

''She will be placed in a room alone until I decide her fate...says Odanna

''What...[Aoi takes Luna in her arms as some Ayakashi pulls Luna away and through the doors.] ''Please...wait...She hasn't done anything stop says Aoi

[Aoi was being led away with the three maids in red robes as she watches her Adopted Sister being taken away. Worried that she may have sealed her fate. The Three Maids have taken to get a hot bath and placed a Beautiful kimono on her and they placed her in a room to wait for the Master. He enters the room]

''So how are you liking tenjin-ya [He looks her over smiling] ''You look breathtakingly beautiful in our signature yukata my lovely wife to be says Odanna

''I'm not your wife to be says Aoi

''So you still refuse to accept my proposal says Odanna

''Ugh my grandpa's gone now can't you just forgive the debt and find someone else says Aoi

[Odanna grabs her chin making her look at him] ''When we eat human girls who possess strong spiritual powers they taste the most delicious so says Odanna

''What You'd eat me? says Aoi

''You'd taste like a delicacy so your special to me so I cannot eat you thus you're forbidden and tempting which makes me want to eat you even more but I cannot do it it's said that this dilemma can be the most exhilarating pleasure of them all says Odanna

''What are you talking about? says Aoi

''And to top all that you just happen to be Shirou's granddaughter he happens to be famous among Ayakashi you know that and that fact alone makes you valuable even without your beauty and power says Odanna

''Why is he famous says Aoi

''You'll find out soon now why not give in and agree to be my bride says Odanna

''How much is it the debt that grandpa owed says Aoi

''Well let's see all told it's about 1 million yen says Odanna

''Huh...Let me pay it back I can just work it off I will stay and work till it's payed that settles the debt but I won't have to marry you says Aoi

'That's not even possible says Odanna

you don't know that just let me try plus none of your employees want you to marry me either at least let's make a compromise or least think it over says Aoi

''Well this is quite interesting a human trying to negotiate with me [He glares coldly at her] '' You arrogant brat I'll permit you to attempt to find a job here at tenjin-ya but if that's the case and you get hired then you'll be treated as an employee not my bride to be so you won't be allowed to stay in a guest room or get the benefit of my protection furthermore you'll lose your right to complain even if someone around here devours you says Odanna

''You're showing your true colors now ogre says Aoi

''Don't blame me for the bargain you struck...Now it's time to pay a visit to your friend...Hopefully my anger cools before I speak to her says Odanna

''Don't you dare hurt her...Monster says Aoi

[He narrows his eyes at her in anger then slams the door behind him.]

[Locked Room]

[Luna is sitting on one of the pillows looking through the window to try and find a way out but it looks to be too high to escape but she doesn't want to leave Aoi behind She sighs laying her head down in her arms.]

''It's impossible...How did we get into this mess...[She hears the door unlock and it slams open and she jumps up seeing it was the Master Of The Inn and she bites her lips as he stares at her and his clenches his fists as he growls his eyes turning red.] ''What's going to happen to me...says Luna

''I haven't decided yet...You see [He walks towards her and she gasps as he grabs her neck then pushes her against a wall...She whimpers holding on to his wrist trying to get him to loosen his grip.] ''Aoi tsubaki has angered me just like Shirou did long ago and I will not be made a mockery of...So What should I do with you...Human says Odanna

''N-No...please...I haven't done anything wrong. says Luna

[His eyes still hasn't changed from the red glow and she closes her eyes as he bares his teeth then places his mouth on her neck piercing some skin and just as soon as his tongue touches her blood his eyes widen tasting how sweet her blood is...He licks her blood then bites down with more force... She cries tears coming from her eyes knowing that she was going to be eaten...Odanna groans feeling how soft that she was pressed against him then he pulls her from the wall and throws her to the floor he stands over her as she sobs backing away from him until the other wall stops her then she waits on what he will do to her...He calms down tasting her blood and then makes a decision which will make the night not so disappointing...]

''Aoi's grandfather promised Aoi's hand in Marriage and Aoi has refused me...If she doesn't pay the debt then I will have no choice but to eat her...But you...[He looks her over then comes up with a decision] ''He never said anything about you...So Your life is Mine to do with as I please...[He turns and walks towards the door] ''I will be back says Odanna

[She watches him leave then trembles touching her neck from where he bit her and the blood was still coming out...She tears a piece of her shirt and presses to the wound when she hears a sound come from another door and she slowly gets up and walks over to the doors and opens it to see a small boy that has furry ears and 9 tails... he slowly enters the room with a small plate of food. She presses a hand to her stomach feeling it growl at the food.]

''I thought you might be feeling hungry so I brought you a little snack says Ayakashi

''Is that Sushi? says Aoi

''The Master doesn't know about this though Oh and I didn't poison them or anything like that [Luna looks at him suspicious and he smiles gently at her.] ''I am sorry I guess I should introduce myself I'm the Nine-tailed fox Ginji and I'm the young master here at tenjin-ya says Ginji

''HI Ginji wait so if you're the Young Master then you must be the Master's son says Luna

''No that's not how it works the Master and I are relatively close in age and I can take nine different forms by using my shape-shifting technique says Ginji

''So you were in the Fox Mask I saw eariler says Luna

''Yeah I thought I'd be less likely to scare you if I showed up to introduce myself like this but maybe [He transforms into a Female version] ''You'd have preferred my female form says Ginji

''Whoa crazy says Luna

''Or what about my cute little fluffy form says Ginji

''Oh you're adorable [Her stomach growls] ''I'm hungry [She takes to plate of food clapping her hands and praying] ''Thank you for this food [She takes a bite and groans] ''This is delicious. says Luna

''I'm glad to hear that, I'm sure you have concerns about your friend marrying someone she doesn't know but the Master is really a wonderful person as an Ogre says Ginji

''Huh says Luna

''He's stoic and ruthless but at the same time he's got an enormous heart of gold says Ginji

''Contradictory I really don't believe that...says Luna [She shows him her bite wound. He winces]

''Not at all everyone on staff adores working for him and he also happens to be one of the most powerful and high ranking ogre gods in the entire hidden realm says Ginji

''I...I can't forgive him...Not yet. But you are kind to me and even feed me delicious food...ever since I was little I have come across a lot of Ayakashi and I even helped a couple...all because I know Aoi that I was brought here...I don't know what The Master of The Inn tends to do with me says Luna

''I don't know I'm sorry that I can't be of more help. says Ginji

[He takes the empty plate and leaves the room. Luna sighs feeling a little better since being fed some food. The door opens and she jumps seeing Aoi who runs into the room and grabs her hand and she gasps as she runs with her through the corridors and down the hallways...]

''Aoi...do you know where we are going? says Luna

''I found us a place we can stay until we find away home...I am going to work off the debt my grandpa owes...I will not marry the Ogre says Aoi

[They run outside where there were bridges leading to a abandoned building. Luna enters the front door seeing inside.]

''It looks like a restaurant says Luna

''Hey Aoi...Luna...says Ginji

''Who's there? says Aoi

''It's okay It's just me says Ginji

''Oh it's you says Luna

''So what brought you here this place is kind of off the beaten path says Ginji

''I stumbled upon it in my feudal job search says Aoi

''I see says Ginji

''This is some kind of restaurant isn't it? says Luna

''Yeah where it used to be it was a restaurant until two days ago the building is going to be torn down soon sadly says Ginji

''But why did it close it seems like a nice place says Luna

''Yeah you'd think that but it's had nothing but lousy luck no matter what nothing seems to thrive in this location tea house, a games arcade, souvenir shop and restaurant it doesn't matter they all failed miserably I believed it would be different with the restaurant honestly since the guests always say they get tired of the fancy foods that the kitchen in the main building prepares but that didn't work either even though I tried everything I could to entice to the guests to come in says Ginji

''Maybe the arrows were a bad choice says Aoi

''That's why I'm here I'm clearing out the last of the leftover ingredients and equipment says Ginji

''Leftover ingredients says Luna

''Yeah I'm gonna to offer everything that's still usable to the kitchen staff over at the Main building says Ginji

''Before you do that would you mind if I use some of it haven't you worked up an appetite you did make sushi for me last night after all so um I thought I would return the favor if you'd interested? says Luna

''What are you sure says Ginji

''Yeah of course matter of fact it would really mean a lot to me cooking and baking always cheer me up when I'm down says Luna

''Deal says Ginji

''Is there any particular food that you've been craving from the Apparent realm says Aoi

''Ah There is I've been wanting something called rice omelet says Ginji

''A Rice Omelet? says Luna

''I can't stop thinking about it Rice omelette a food from the apparent realm that's similar to a naughty sushi says Ginji

''The wrapping on those is comparable great you got it one rice omelette coming up says Luna

Great thanks says Ginji

''I will help you Luna says Aoi

[Together they looked for the ingredients to make the Rice Omelet. Luna mixes them together and begins to cook them then she places it all on a plate and places it in front of Ginji]

''There you go it's done since there was no ketchup I used soy sauce with Japanese style toppings instead says Luna

''It smells wonderful I can't wait to eat this says Ginji

''I made me some too I am really hungry too says Aoi

''Enjoy says Luna

''[He takes a bite of the Rice Omelet and groans at the taste] ''So delicious [Luna smiles as he takes another bite] ''Seriously this is so good the flavor of this dish they delight the Ayakashi Palette says Ginji

''My grandpa took care in teaching me and Aoi all his secrets says Luna

''I like to use sweet soy sauce like in cuisine from Kyushu The condinments in the hidden realm taste more like they do there says Aoi

''Well I'm impressed [He takes another bite then makes a decision puts the plate down] ''I've got it Chief Aoi, Luna how would you like to open up your own restaurant out here says Ginji

''What? says Luna

''Huh says Aoi

[The Hidden Realm]

[Another Inn]

[Inside a room in a Inn two Ayakashi were speaking to each other]

''A Human has come to marry the Master Of Tenjin ya? says Dog Ayakashi

''The news Arrived not long ago...well there was also another human girl that came with her too...they don't know what they are doing with her yet says Tango

''Well isn't that interesting and so close to the day of the ceremony too says Dog Ayakashi

''Yeah it is says Tango

[He smiles to himself]
