This is a new AU I made. This is my AUs Hidden Secrets and Yokai Watch Ghoul combined. Everything is the same,except that Keita and Inaho never lost their watches and that this AU takes place 25 years later from the present. And only the adults know about the events of Ghoul and keep it from their kids.(expect for one).
In this fic,this takes place a month later after the events of Hidden Secrets and during the Ghoul Future timeline. I would recommend to read both fics,but you don't have to.
I'm not rewriting my other fics since they would remain the same in my Hidden Ghoul AU. The only difference would be the events would be combined and the human characters can still see Yokai,despite the whole Shadowside thing that happened.
Anyways...I hope you enjoy this AU! I might make a sequel to this later on,but for now...enjoy the unofficial sequel to both my fics "Hidden Secrets" and "Yokai Watch Ghoul-Future",but it's a different AU where they're both combined.

It's been over a month since certain events have happened. Natsume was in her room,thinking about how she and her family were stuck at home for the summer,while her friends and other family members were on their summer vacations. She noticed a knock on her door and seen her sister,Shinko.
"Your boyfriend is here to see you!"Shinko announced.
Natsume groans in annoyance,"You don't have to tell the whole world."
Shinko snickers and ran off as Akinori walked in,with an unamused sits down next to spoke,"Your parents told me you guys won't have a summer vacation. Neither will I..."
"You're stick at home too?"Natsume asked.
Akinori nods in sighs,"All my friends are on their summer vacations...and even Jerry and Emi invited us to go with them...but my parents didn't accept their offer."
"That's a bummer..."He mumbles.
Natsume changed the subject, "Why are you here...? I thought we were meeting at your place...with the others."
"Oh yeah! That's what I was going to tell you! I couldn't wait to tell the agency,so I came by to your place first!."Akinori stated.
Natsume smirks,"You just wanted to see me..."
"No! Not just that!"He blushed and continues,"I found a new case...a very dangerous is very different from what we had."
Natsume asked,"What is it...?"
"We need to get everyone to gather at the agency first...because this case...involves death."He said in a grim tone.
Natsume nods and leaves her home with make some phone calls to the others on their did they know,Shinko was following them in secret. She carefully follows them without getting caught.
Eventually,Akinori arrived at his home,with Natsume. They go inside the agency and were surprised to see their friends already present.
"You're already here!"Natsume says.
Touma nods,"We came as soon as you called. It seems important."
"Don't you guys have any summer vacations to go to...?"Akinori questioned.
Touma sighs,"Unfortunately not. My parents are away from home...as always."
"I already took my vacation on spring break."Ayame cuts in.
Akinori shook his head,"There's not many of us here...but I guess it's better than nothing. Only if we had more members who were available..."
Suddenly,Micchy bursts through the door and announces,"Micchy is here!"
They face palm as Natsume groans,"We don't need you..."
"Of course you do! You said you wanted more of the agency here!"Micchy exclaims.
Akinori smirked,"We could use him as shield for this mission."
"That's just cruel! I'm here to help with no one else available!"Micchy stated.
Touma pondered,"I was thinking...where is everyone...who's not on summer vacation?"
"Whisper's busy with his wife,doing old people stuff and the kids...um...Junior...Ai...Hoshi...and...Chip?"Micchy was interrupted by Natsume,"Chi!"
"Oh yeah...uh...those kids are with their parents."Micchy laughed nervously.
Natsume sighed,"And my brothers are busy doing...errands...or whatever."
"I'm here!"
They seen Shinko at the entrance of the agency. Natsume groans,"Shinko...what are you doing?!"
"I followed you and your boyfriend! I wanna help with your case!"Shinko chimed.
Natsume frowns,"Absolutely not! It's too dangerous!"
"So,cowards like Keisuke and Hijo can go on missions and I can't?!"Shinko nags.
Natsume was getting annoyed and pushed her outside,"No...we would take you on missions,but you never ask. Our brothers don't go on every mission and this is one of them. It's too dangerous and...you're the youngest."
"Whatever...I'm gonna go on my own mission!"Shinko stomps off furiously.
"Is she always like this?"Ayame asks.
Natsume replies,"No...just when she can't do what she wants..."
"Ok,we need to talk about the new case."Akinori butts in.
Natsume nods,"Of course..."
Before they began their conversation,someone bursts through the door. They were shocked to see who was standing in their presence.
"Shutendoji?!"They exclaimed.
He nods and walks in to take a sit. Natsume speaks,"What are you doing here...? We thought you were gone to fulfill your mission for Enma."
"I completed it. I'm back to help make this world a better place. I want to complete more missions for humans and Yokai to get along."Shutendoji stated.
Touma asks,"I see...but...why aren't you in your human disguise?"
"I no longer need it...and...I never liked it. I attracted too much attention."He replies,in a annoyed tone.
Ayame says,"Well...we're glad to have you back!"
"And just in time for a new case!"Akinori adds.
Shutendoji questions,"What that may be?"
"Ok...I can finally explain to everyone what the new case is."Akinori sighs in relief.
Everyone sat in a circle and listened began his explanation,"Alright...the new case involves something we never faced before...death."
"Wait...are we going to die?!"Ayame panics.
Akinori reassures her,"No! Hopefully...not..."
"What are we dealing with...?"Touma was a bit concerned.
Akinori explains,"There's been an unusual high death rate...involving the shinigami."
"We can not interfere with shinigami! It's illegal!"Shutendoji rushed to him and grabbed him by the collar.
Akinori was nervous,"I know they're known to reap but...it's unusually high right now! People are dying like if...there's some sort of disease...even if they're perfectly normal!"
Shutendoji took a deep breath and puts him down,"Fine...but...I'm not getting involved...unless if it's a deadly situation."
"It's settled! We'll get ready and head to the location the case is occurring."Akinori declares.
They prepare for the situation they were getting theirselves into. Later,Akinori lead them to the location of the unusual number of deaths that occurred.
"Isn't this the place where Jibanyan hits trucks?"Natsume asks.
Akinori responded,"I think so..."
As they approached the location,they were in shock seeing deaths occurring from left to right. There were cars crashing and fires setting. They put their guard up as they spotted the shinigami causing havoc.
"Why are they doing this?!"Akinori exclaims.
Shutendoji was deep in thought,"This is not like the shinigami to reap this many people at once...something is wrong."
"Are they inspirited...?"Ayame asks.
Shutendoji observes them,"I don't think so...but...something's off."
As Natsume looked around,she noticed one of the shinigami staring directly at gets closer as she backs away.
"Guys...do you think they know our plan?"Natsume asked.
Touma replied,"I don't think so. Why?"
"Because one is after us!"Natsume panicked.
The shinigami rushed towards her and swings its scythe.
"Natsume Amano...it's your time to die!" It shouts.
Ayame says,"I think it's only after you!"
"You think?!"Natsume sweats.
Micchy shields her,"No one will harm Natsume!"
More shinigami appear and attack him,in which causes him to collapse.
"That's the only thing he's good for..."Akinori mumbled.
Touma states,"We have no choice but to fight back."
They nod in agreement as they prepare their watches and Ayame uses her powers. Shutendoji watches them,as he backed away.
"Are you going to help?!"Natsume questions with concern.
Shutendoji sighs,"I will not participate in illegal activities...unless if it's a life or death situation."
"This is a life or death situation!"Natsume nags.
Shutendoji responses,"I'm waiting...for the right moment."
Natsume groans in disbelief and went to fight the shinigami with the others.
Meanwhile,in the Yokai World,Jibanyan just woke up and was still in glanced at the clock and noticed the time. She shot right up on her two feet,out of was shocked how it was already afternoon,since she usually gets up early. She moaned in pain,"Again...? Why have I been hurting so much lately...? I haven't punched trucks in awhile..."
Jibanyan looked at herself in the mirror and left. Suddenly,something felt wrong. She rushed back to the mirror and examined herself again as she placed her hands on her belly,which was unusually large.
"Was I always this huge...?" Jibanyan was nervous about her current state.
She took a deep breath,"Maybe my Lightside form just makes me look this way..."
On cue,Jibanyan turns into her Shadowside form and looked again. Her stomach was still oddly round.
"I don't understand...why hasn't anyone told me I'm fat?!" Jibanyan cries.
She softly sobs as she rubbed her stomach,but was interrupted by a she felt it noticed something was kicking inside her belly.
"Wait...I'm not fat...I'm pregnant!"Jibanyan gasps.
She was surprised and very confused. Did anyone figure out she was pregnant or that she gained weight? She decided to keep it to herself and sighed,"How did I get this way? It's been almost a year since Usapyon and I had some fun...after having Junior."
Jibanyan paused and face palmed,"Of course...why is it every time we do it...I have a baby? Grr...no wonder we don't do anything that often..."
She let out a sigh and changed out of her pjs into her casual clothes,which were a bit hoped no one would notice her unusual state,until after she's about to have her new baby.
Jibanyan walks into the living room,to see her husband and kids on the couch,watching television.
"You're finally awake."Usapyon spoke.
Jibanyan asks,"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!"
"You needed sleep..."Usapyon sweats.
Jibanyan frowns,"You know I get up early to fulfill my motherly duties!"
"Mommy said duty!"Ainyan giggles.
Hoshinyan and Junior laugh in response.
"That's enough kids..."Usapyon groans.
They replied,"Sorry daddy..."
"Anyways...I thought you needed a break for once." Usapyon exclaims to Jibanyan.
She sighs,"Mothers never get 's my job to take care of everything and it's your job to go and do your own job!"
"Well...Enma hasn't called me to do any missions in awhile. I don't even know if I'll ever get another one..."Usapyon says in disappointment.
Jibanyan groans,"He'll call you back any day now! So stop sitting around and be prepared!"
"What's wrong with you?! You've been acting so rude for the past few months!" Usapyon complains.
She nags,"There's nothing wrong! You're the one who's wrong!"
Jibanyan storms out of the house,without noticing the guest,who was at the door. Usapyon moans and notices Shinko standing there.
"Um...hi."Shinko sweats nervously.
Usapyon questioned,"What are you doing here?"
"I'm on a mission! To find people who need help! I thought I would start here."Shinko stated.
He gets an idea,"I got a mission for you. Take my kids and send them to their grandparents. I have to go after Jibanyan...it might be awhile."
"Ok!"Shinko goes inside and slams the door.
Usapyon sighs in disbelief and hurried after his the house,the kids notice Shinko.
"Cousin!"Junior cheers.
Shinko greeted,"Hi guys!"
"What you doing?"Hoshinyan asks.
She replies,"Your dad told me to take you guys to grandpa and grandma."
"Aw why...?"Ainyan whines.
Shinko said, in an awkward tone,"Because he told me to...?"
"We don't wanna go!"Ainyan complains.
Chipyon spoke,"If daddy says we have to go,we gotta go."
Her other siblings pout.
"Mommy seemed mad about something...we have to go with cousin Shinko."She explains.
They start complaining.
"Nyow!"Chipyon nagged.
They froze up and followed her out of the house,along with Shinko.
"I like your attitude."Shinko comments.
Chipyon was confused,"Thanks...?"
The kids decided to go on their way to see their grandparents,while Usapyon was on a search for Jibanyan.
