In the land of the Makai, a dog demon is seen sitting on a tree branch, his hands pulled behind his head, in a deep sleep. His dark brown hair that's tied up in a small ponytail and the long bangs that dangles in his face shifts with the wind that sweeps over him. The dog demon's ears twitch lightly before opening his enigmatic purple eyes and sitting up. "Agh... what a crazy dream." Sighing lightly, he ruffles his bangs in frustration. "Why do I keep having dreams of her? She died centuries ago... "He then sets his eyes on the rising sun in the distance as the wind continues to gently blow his hair. "Could it be that she's still alive?"
"Musuko!" The voice of another male demon with a deeper voice is heard echoing from below him. "Get off your lazy ass and jump down! I got something to show you!"
"Coming, Seion..." Musuko says as he pulls his legs over the branch. Swinging them a bit in the air, he jumps from the high branch and right on his heels on the ground. He dusts off his kimono and looks up to his partner. "What is it now?"
Seion was a rare breed. He is a turtle demon with brown skin and a large shell set on his back. Huge fangs bear from his thick lips. "Look what I got!" A grin stretches across Seion's face as he holds up a large sword resembling to the sword known as the Chimamire Tsurugi. "Isn't it a beauty? Found it in some rusty old temple that was closed off with a huge rock. And you know moving rocks is my specialty. It wasn't easy, though." He gently hands the sword to Musuko.
Musuko gazes upon the sword with widened eyes. "I think... I've seen this sword wielded by someone before." He closes his eyes as he sees a faded image from memory of a female demon with blonde hair. "...But I don't remember her name."
Seion laughed roughly. "A GIRL wielded a sword like this?! Heh, must've been some sort of goddess or somethin'." He glances off into the distance, and then his eyes shoot open with realization. "Oh yeah! Did I tell you I found THIS?" Seion lifted a golden amulet hanging from the chain around his neck. "Came with the sword. Not sure why. A beauty, too, that's for sure."
A name he's not so familiar with slips from Musuko's lips. "Zhang-Yi..." He immediately covers up his mouth blushing as Seion looks to him giving him the weirdest look.
"Something wrong with you?"
"No... I'm fine." ~That name... where have I heard it before???~
"Oh. Just asking."
Musuko removes his hands from his mouth and gazes in the distance. That name had a ring to it, but he wasn't sure where he heard it. He once recalled in his childhood screaming out that name with tears running down his face. Yet then, he was just a small pup. He barely remembered anything from his childhood. Only fragments remained. He heard the sword make some sort of hissing noise like a ferocious beast. An idea came to his head and he glanced back toward Seion. "Seion... you know how to get to the human world right?"
Seion crosses his arms and narrows his eyes back to his partner. "As you should know, I've only used that technique once and it required a LOT of spirit energy. I was able to cross over to the living world, but it was very difficult. It's not that interesting there anyway, nothing but a bunch of stupid humans. It wouldn't be worth my time to do it a second time."
"...Have you heard of the demons, Youko Kurama and Zhang-Yi? I once heard that Youko Kurama had died and was reincarnated into the human world like a coward. I'd like to test that theory and meet him face-to-face."
"I heard about this dern Zhang-Yi girl... Heard she died, too. Soon after she kicked the bucket, that Youko Kurama did, too. Rumors said that since they may have been lovers, they were reincarnated to the same place so they'll have some sort of 'everlasting love' crap. I sure as hell don't believe that line of bull, though. No sirree."
Musuko was astounded to see that he was slowly remembering things about his past. ~Zhang-Yi... she was a friend of mine! She wielded that very sword that Seion's holding...! And...~ "Let's go!" he shouted aloud. "Let's go to the human world!" ~If they were reincarnated to the same place and Youko went to the human world... then Zhang-Yi must've been reincarnated to the very same place! If we go there... I'll meet them both again! ...How could I have forgotten about Zhang-Yi...?~
"We'll go to the ningenkai world if you have the patience to wait for me to get the spell just right. I could easily send you there, but if we went together, I'd be totally exhausted. I guess there's no harm done. If you wanna go see a bunch of ningens, then so be it. You've always been such a hard-headed dog demon, can't change that." Seion nodded lightly after speaking. Musuko just looked up to the sky and smiled.
"GET UP, MINAKO, YOU'RE LATE!!!"
Meanwhile in the ningenkai, Minako was slowly rising from her bed half- asleep and rubbing at her eyes.
"Wha--? Morning already?" She looked up toward the alarm to see that it was already 7:39 am. "GAH! Damn!" Minako instantly jumped out of bed and brushed her teeth. She quickly changed from her pajamas to her school uniform and ran downstairs. In the air, she could smell the scent of bacon in the air once again. "Dad! I'm going now!" She grabbed her bags and ran out the door before her dad could say a word. Outside, she saw Kurama standing at the gate smiling brightly at her as his long, red hair blowing in the wind, which made her blush. Kurama and Minako have been walking together on the way to school. They got along well and many of Kurama's peers envied her for her 'luck.' Some even said they were dating, but that only seemed like something Minako would hope for. They hung out and talked often, but they were just friends.
"Shuichi-kun! So, what have you been up to?" Minako asked in her usual cheery tone.
"Nothing much. Have you been doing well, Minako-chan?" he replied. Kurama was walking by her side in his usual posture. He would walk to her side with his hands in his pockets.
"Of course, Shuichi-kun!" She clung to his arm tightly when a few schoolgirls walking the other way passed by and she lightly giggled. "Is it alright it I call you Shuichi-kun, or just Kurama?"
"Call me anything you're comfortable with calling me." He said lightly grinning at her clinging to him.
"Okay... then you're KURA-BABY!!!"
"...Kura-baby?..." Kurama chucked amused under his breath. "Seriously, Minako-chan." He walked on as Minako suddenly came to a stop.
Suddenly, her heart started to throb in her chest with a powerful force, and she gasped for air and clenched to her chest. "What...?"
"Minako-chan?" Kurama walked closer toward her as she kneeled on the ground.
"S-Something's wrong!" The voice of another woman was heard echoing in her head. ~"Stop holding me back, Minako. You are no longer needed."~ The voice slipped through her lips. "LET ME OUT!" Kurama gasped and looked to her surprised.
"Your voice..."
Footsteps were heard tapping their way up to Minako kneeled down until she felt the shadow of a person cast over her.
"...You reek of Zhang-Yi." Musuko stood before them, his kimono flapping in the sudden gust of wind. He held up the Chimamire Tsurugi in his hands firmly. Minako pulled up her head to him breathing hard.
"Musuko..." Her voice was much deeper than it usually did. "Take your hands off my precious treasure..." Gasps of breath released from her lips. "NOW!!!" Her eyes flashed a radiant blue as strands of sandy blonde streaked through her golden blonde hair. A pair of fox ears grows from atop her head and a tail fluffs out from the back of her skirt. She stood up, her shoulder-blade length hair blowing in the wind.
Kurama looked to her with widened eyes. "Z-Zhang-Yi!" ~Minako... is Zhang- Yi?!~
