A/N: And now, a word from Mokou! "Immortals bothering you? That is but an issue of the past. Let me, Fujiwara no Mokou, tell you how to deal with that pesky Kagu- immortal! First, you get a fire... Second, a knife... Now for the tricky part! You stab the immortal, and fry them up nice and crispy. They can feed a family of five! That is all." ...Thank... you Mokou... On with the show!
Late morning, outside of Daiyousei's house/tree, Rumia's point of view:
"Okay, what's the plan? If it's strong enough to throw Dai out, it's gotta be strong, right?" Wriggle sure thinks highly of house pests, now doesn't she? If it were strong it wouldn't be stealing from a fairy.
"Is that so~?" My words made wriggle think for a moment, but not see what I meant with the words. It's no fun to simply tell people things... have to make them figure it out for themselfs!
"I'm sure, whoever it is, I can take em!" While Aya had a point, but she wasn't a fighter. She was strong, sure, but hated to make news herself, so held back from fighting when she could.
"Is that so~?" Aya simply looked at me, knowing what I meant. Finally, somebody who thinks enough to see my hidden meanings!
"But, we could just settle this the easy way... Rumia, as a darkness Youkai, you could simply sneak in there and take him out ri-" While I liked the idea, it was suddenly complicated, by the said house theif coming from the house, with a sharpened sheet of steel in hand. ...Was he wearing one of Daiyousei's dresses? The guy was rather scrawny, but seemed to have an air of strength regardless of that. Oddly, he fit perfectly into the dress.
"You! I see, you've brought your little friends, havn't you, Fairy!" The Youkai grinned, oddly sure of himself, even when outnumbered. While he looked like he could easily beat Dai, Aya, if she were to get serious, would trounce the bastard in an instant. Too bad she wouldn't.
"Gi-g-give me back my home!" Dai sure did make an impression. While hiding behind Wriggle. Sadly, it wasn't the impression of confidence that we would win. This only made the Youkai self confident. ...Perhapse I could use that to my advantage.
"Heh, why don't you just leave, before I have to get violent? You can't win, and I'd hate to bloody my pretty new outfit!" ...What a strange guy this Youkai was, dressed up like a fairy.
"Is that so~?" I kept my eyes shut, a thin smile across my face. I would enjoy this greatly, perhapse too much.
"Hoh? You think this dress doesn't match my hair, don't you? !" The youkai pointed that sharpened sheet of metal of his at us. ...What? In all the time I've asked people if things are so, that was the dumbest response yet!
"Is that so~?" I began to grin toothily, so as to show off my teeth. Thus far, very few havn't been intimidated by my maw of what looks like shark teeth.
"Ohh, so you actually think I'm pretty? W-well..." The youkai looked away, with a blush. Okay, that's it. He has annoyed me now, and now he thinks I'm calling him cute? It's on!
"I don't think thats what she mea-" I wasn't about to let another take the fight, so I plugged the birds mouth with my darkness, or to be exact, what is within my darkness. Aya's tried to yell, but try as she might, she just couldn't pry the thing from her mouth.
"That is so!" I charged towards the irritating youkai, out for blood.
He dodges me first punch, I dodge a swing of his sword, kicking it from his hand.
"Oww! My pretty little fingers!" This Youkai... I would enjoy beating this bastard into the ground.
"Shut up and fight." I grabbed him by the hand, and flung him into the trunk of a tree. He was rather clumsy, so he simply smacked into it.
"Oof..." The way he landed was belly first, with the wind knocked out of him, he landed with a heavy thud, quivering on the ground.
"Where did that confidence go? That indomitable spirit?" My grin began to widen across my face, me cheek splitting all the way to my ears. Maybe I should simply treat him as food, I mean, I'm quite hungry... Yeah, think I will. But first...
"Y-you'll never b-beat me..." Ohh, but I will. First, you need to learn the meaning of my words however~!
"Is that so~?" The bones in my fingers lengthened, poking from the tips of my fingers. I was going to teach him to fear me, even if it kills him!
"Y-yes..." Ahh, that fear in his voice. It's just so... stimulating! Buuut he's going to need more fear, if I want a tasty meal.
"Is that so~?" I began to slowly walk towards him, my grin going from ear to ear, I began to wave my fingers off to show him my blades. If he wasn't going to come to me, I would simply come to him!
"Y-y-yes...!" I could practically taste the fear in the air, he was starting to see his fate... Too little, too late.
"Is that so~?" I stopped, standing a short distance from him.
"Is th-that sooo...?" My grin widened still. My, that fear would be tasty indeed! That horse that Aya had brough over was good, but it lacked one thing.
"That is so~!" Fear, similar to how Kogasa eats fear, but I am more... direct.
I, ignoring the blades, opted for this to be slower. I enveloped us in darkness, and began to punch him, again, and again, without end, before simply stopping.
"N-no... please... St-stop..." The Youkai is wimpering in fear and pain at this point. I enjoy fear not from the air... but by eating those who fear me!
I quickly slashed his throat, allowing the fear of death to descend upon him as his life now slowly left him. It had been too long since my last feast on fear, far too long. Allowing him a quick finish to his death, I simply fully opened my mouth and sunk my teeth into his skull.
With that, my hands and mouth turned back to normal. Huh... he tasted pretty good, like horse! Before letting the darkness dissipate, I had picked his thigh clean. I adore the flavor of a meat from one that died while afraid. Still doesn't hold a candle to human meat though. That lovely flavor, the way they scream as you rip it off... Ahh~
With the darkness faded, the group bear witess to the gruesome sight before them. As expected, none of them batted an eye. They all, more or less, expected it. Plus, as Youkai, most of them had done similar things at some point of another, before that spell card system was invented. Even Daiyousei had seen her fair share of blood simply by her own deaths.
"He's a horse!" I happily shouted, indicating that he was tasty. My face was covered in blood, as well as my hands.
"Huh... How rare, I guess we could cook him up and bring as our share of the food, huh?" I liked Aya, she always seemed to see the deeper meaning of my words. Once Daiyousei had collected a pair of dresses, and Aya, being the strongest one here, grabbed the boy by the still full leg, we took off towards the lake.
