The Cherry Blossom Festival was a blast. They ate food from concessions, they played a few games, did a few dances, and watched the cherry blossom trees sway in the cool wind of spring.

"This is so far the greatest day of my stay here in Japan." Kim announced to her five friends as they lay down on the grass of the park and watched the petals of the cherry blossoms twirl in the wind.

"Really?" Ron asked, "Then, why do I feel like something's wrong?"

"Maybe it's just you, Ron." Kim said.

"Are you sure, Possible-san?" Yori asked, "'Cause I feel something's wrong, too."

"Same here." Rufus and Kiara said.

Chiko barked at a nearby tree.

"Down, Chiko!" Yori cried, trying to tame the barking dog, "Asuari, Chiko! Asuari!"

"He's not even listening to Yori in japenese!" Ron exclaimed.

"Try to say it in english!" Kim cried.

"I did!" Yori answered.

"No, you said 'down' not 'sit'." Kim said, "Try to say sit!"

"Sit, Chiko!" Yori cried, "Sit!"

Chiko didn't listen.

"What's up with Chiko?" Kim wondered out loud.

"Wait." Ron said, "I sense something."

Kim closed her eyes and listened. She felt a strong, black energy coming from the cherry blossom tree that Chiko was barking at.

"I sense it too." Kim said, opening her eyes, "It's up in the trees. Miriam!"

"Yeah, Kim?" Kim's carnation, Miriam Spirit said from the back of Kim's mind.

"Where is the precise location of the black aura?" Kim asked.

"It's from the branches of the trees." Miriam answered, "But I can't really sense one. I sense many."

"Same here." Kim said, "Yori, how 'bout you? Can you see them on at least one plane?"

Yori took out her special spectacles and put them on. She gasped. Black Devil Demons were perched on every single tree branch of the cherry blossom tree. They had searing red eyes and blood stained teeth. These demons ate humans!

"Black Devil Demons!" Yori exclaimed, "They must be here to feast on the citizens of Tokyo!"

"Wait a sec!" Ron cried, "You're telling me these guys drink blood from humans?"

"No," Kim cried, "They eat human flesh and blood!"

"Uh-oh." Rufus squeaked.

"RUN!" Kiara exclaimed.

The guardians and their animal companions began to run away from the demons that have now noticed that Yori had spotted them.

"We gotta get them away from the humans!" Kiara cried.

"But how?" Kim panted, trying to run fast in her tight kimono and wooden low-soled sandals, "We can't out run them! Unless we transform!"

"But we can't transform out here infront of all of these people!" Ron cried.

"We have to find a narrow alley and transform there!" Yori answered, "These people know the Lotus Guardians exist, they just never saw them before!"

"And now is a good time to show them!" Kim said, spotting a narrow alley.

Garbage cans and recycled cardboard were littered at the end of alley half way up.

"But we can't let them know that we're the guardians!" Ron whispered in the narrow alley.

"And if we end up missing, they'll get suspicious." Yori said.

"No big." Kim smiled, "We can astral project ourselves from our bodies to create a double just like us!"

"An astral project?" Ron cried, "Kim, this is no time for school work!"

"Not astral project, Ron," Kim said, "Astral Projection. Creating a magical double just like our mortal forms! It's projecting your spirit out of your physical body to make two of the same person. Some people use this method to litterly be in two places. It's kind of like a hologram, only, there's two physical bodies at the same time that look exactly the same."

"We're going to output our mortal spirits and transform?" Yori cried.

"Shhhhh!" Kim and Ron shushed.

"Yes." Kim whispered, "And I know exactly how..."
