The next day,Keita and Inaho inspected their look at the note Enma sent them once turns it to the back and replies,"There's something else on the back."

"Really?"Keita asked.

Inaho reads,"This is the Yokai Watch Ghoul Shadow. These are the only two in existence and were specifically made for Shadowside form is different due to this where you can turn back into your dark forms and can control them. Only use it when when it's needed."

"Wait...dark forms? Don't tell me he means..."Keita got nervous.

Inaho nods,"I think since we're the only humans to ever have a dark spirit...Enma wants us to use that power and control it with these watches..."

"I suppose...but...I don't know how everyone would feel about this."Keita sweats.

"About what?" They turn to see their kids standing behind them,looking dumbfounded.

They panic and put their hands behind their backs to hide their watches.

Keita spoke,"Oh...hey."

"What were you doing?"Natsume asks.

Inaho says,"Nothing!"

"We saw your watches..."Keisuke stated.

Hijo adds,"And we heard everything..."

"Weren't you gonna tell us about your new watches?"Shinko wondered.

They didn't know how to respond,as they laughed in an awkward fashion.

Natsume replies,"You we're going to keep this from us,weren't you?!"

"No! Um...we were going to tell you eventually..."Inaho sweats.

Keisuke says,"Eventually? As in...?"

"When you're old enough to understand...?"Keita responses.

Shinko nags,"Hey! We're old enough!"

"Maybe she's not old enough,but the rest of us are."Hijo stated.

Shinko rolled her eyes,"Just tell us what's going on."

"Should we tell them?"Inaho asks Keita in concern.

He sighs,"I guess we can only tell half of it...for now."

They showed the kids their watches.

"Enma sent these to us last night. We haven't upgraded our watches in years...so I guess it makes sense that we received these."Keita explains.

Inaho adds,"These are the Yokai Watch Ghoul Shadow. Enma only made two of them...specifically for us..."

"But why?"Shinko questioned.

Keita lies,"We're...not sure."

"Hisame told us about the Yokai Watch Ghoul before...but what does it do?"Natsume exclaims.

Inaho looks at Keita and replies,"Should we explain?"

He nods,"When we were about your age,we received the Yokai Watch Ghoul...but...at a price. The power of the watch let's you turn into a Yokai and back into a human at any given time,"

"You can turn into Yokai?!"Hijo sweats.

Inaho nodded,"But...like we said...in order for the watch to work...you had to...die..."

"What?!"They kids panic.

Keita said nervously,"That's where we got reaped by a shinigami...and...died."

"You guys are dead?! Are we dead?!"'Keisuke freaks out.

Inaho sweated,"No! Not at all! If we were all dead...we would've been Yokai right now..."

"Even you should know that..."Natsume says to Keisuke,who mumbles,"I guess..."

Shinko wonders,"Does that mean we can have the Yokai Watch Ghoul?"

"No!"Keita and Inaho nags in unison.

Natsume groans,"Why...? I turned into Shuuka."

"That was a one time don't want you to experience death right now."Keita stated.

Natsume says,"I literally almost died yesterday."

"And your aunt and uncle saved you." Keita exclaimed.

Natsume sighs in disbelief,"They're not always going to be there to save me. It'll happen eventually."

"Don't put that to the world!" Keita nagged.

Shinko complains,"We can never have good things."

"You guys have watches too..."Inaho said.

Keisuke replies,"Yeah...but they're just the Yokai Watch Elda."

"Be lucky you all got one and that you don't have to share one with Natsume like last year." Keita demands.

Natsume moans,"Don't remind me..."

"Can you at least show us what your watch does?"Hijo asks.

Keita and Inaho look at each other in hesitation,but nod in show them a button on the side of their watches and press it. They turn into their Yokai forms,Fuu2 and Moony kids were shocked.

"These are our Yokai forms."Fuu2 stated.

Moony replies,"Well...? You guys seem awfully quiet."

"I can't believe this..."Natsume said in a low tone.

Fuu2 sweats,"We're sorry..."

"Sorry isn't enough! I can't believe you hid this from us!"Natsume nags.

Moony responds,"We had to...we didn't want you to go through what we did."

"That's not a good excuse! What else are you hiding?!"Natsume questions,wanting to know.

Fuu2 sighs,"Like we said...we can't you guys everything...just yet."

"That is a fucking lie!"Natsume yells.

Shinko gasps,"She said the f word!"

"Don't use that language in this house!"Fuu2 shouted.

Natsume groans,"I can do what I want! Like hell,I'll find out out what you're hiding some way!"

As Natsume stormed off,Fuu2 yells,"You're grounded!"

The others stood in silence as Fuu2 sighs in annoyance,"I knew this was a bad idea..."

"No...it was cool for you to show us!"Hijo speaks up.

Keisuke replies,"Yeah...at least you didn't wait to tell us this when we're adults."

"They're right...we had to tell them eventually."Moony stated.

Fuu2 groans,"I just don't want Natsume to find out everything..."

"So there's more secrets you're hiding?"Shinko asks.

Fuu2 sweats,"We never said that!"

"So...you are hiding something! Let's go find Natsume!"Shinko exclaims.

She ran off as Hijo and Keisuke follow her. Fuu2 was stressed,"Great...now they're going to try and find out what happened...in the past."

"At least they didn't ask to see our Shadowside forms..."Moony laughs awkwardly.

Fuu2 ponders,"I guess we should try them now...since they're not here."

On cue,they both turn into their Shadowside forms. They were in their dark forms,2Ordinate and Moonchiri.

"Crap...Enma was right..."2Ordinate mumbled.

Moonchiri says,"Well... I don't feel negative like I usually do in this form..."

"You're right...it seems like these watches control our urges to do wrong."2Ordinate stated.

Moonchiri smiled,"I'm glad we can use these forms without hurting the ones we love."

"Yes...but...we better turn back. Just in case..."2Ordinate suggests.

They do so and turn back into their human forms. They sigh as they knew their kids were trying to find out the rest of their secrets from the past.

A week passed,as Whisper and Fubuki-hime sent their grandkids back to their parents. As they got to their house,they knock on the door. It opens to reveal Usapyon standing,looking a bit spoke,"You better come in. We have something important to show you."

"I guess that's why I'm here too..."Hisame sighs,being annoyed.

Usapyon groans,"Yes...you need to see this too."

They all went inside and followed Usapyon to their living room. Jibanyan was standing,with her back turned,hiding something.

"Hello dear. Is there something you want to tell us?"Fubuki-hime asked.

Whisper butts in,"And is there a reason why we kept your kids for a week?"

"Yeah...I never got any peace and quiet around them."Hisame complains.

Fubuki-hime groans,"Cut that out you two."

"Something happened the night you kept my kids and well...we weren't prepared to show you and our kids just yet." Jibanyan explains.

Fubuki-hime says,"It can't be that bad...right?"

"I...um...had a baby." Jibanyan spoke nervously.

Junior asks,"Mommy had a baby?!"

"Wait...how?!"Whisper panics.

Usapyon whispered something to him and Fubuki-hime.

"Oh...of course that's how you had a baby."Whisper groans in disbelief.

Chipyon asks,"Can we see the baby?"

"I wanna see the baby!"Ainyan says.

Hoshinyan chimes in,"Me too."

"Ok,ok. You can see the baby." Jibanyan laughs.

She turns to them and reveals Usamew,who was being held in her arms. The others gasp in excitement. The kids swarm around Jibanyan to look at their new sibling and cheered,"A baby!"

Jibanyan shushed them,"Not so loud."

"It looks a little like Usapyon."Whisper stated.

Usapyon nods,"Her name is Usamew."

"It's a girl!"Chipyon and Ainyan cheer.

Junior and Hoshinyan groans in disappointment.

"I get the Usa part in her name,but why...mew?"Whisper questions.

Usamew let out a small mew.

Whisper sweats,"Oh..."

"Have you told anyone else about her yet?"Fubuki-hime asked.

They shook their heads. Jibanyan says,"We wanted to get everyone together to tell them about Usamew. Or at least...everyone who's nyot on vacation."

"We should tell your brother about this." Usapyon suggested.

Hisame responds,"I wouldn't do that if I was you."

"Why...?"Usapyon raises an eye brow.

Hisame replies,"Mom and dad called him today,to see if his family was ok. Keita's kids found out about the...watch...from the past."

"What?!" Usapyon and Jibanyan were nervous.

Fubuki-hime explained,"Keita and Inaho received new watches from Enma,since they never got the time to update theirs. He only made two,just for them. And well...they can turn into...those forms."

"You don't mean...?" Jibanyan panics.

Fubuki-hime nods,"Yes...but the watch let's them keep it in control."

"I guess that's a good thing...but...do the kids know about...the past events?" Usapyon questioned.

Whisper says,"No...just about the watch and what they do."

"They said they're gonna try to get some secrets from us...probably all of us."Hisame replied and then smirks,"But they're not getting anything from me."

Usapyon shrugs,"Well...we'll try to keep everything we can from them."

"What you talking about?"Chipyon asks.

"Um...just grown up stuff...nyothing important." Jibanyan sweats.

Junior asks,"Can we play with Usamew?"

"She's still too little..."Jibanyan says.

Usapyon grabs Usamew and gives her to Chipyon,"Just be careful."

The kids left to play with Usamew.

"Hey! Why did you-"Jibanyan got cut off by Usapyon,"The more we talk about the past events,the more our kids will question it."

"Oh..."Jibanyan sweated.

Whisper says,"Just be careful..."

"Same with you...and wait until we get everyone we can together. We'll tell them about Usamew by then." Usapyon exclaimed.

Whisper,Fubuki-hime,and Hisame nodded and took their and Usapyon sigh,as they try to think of a way to keep their past events a secret from their children.

Later that day,Natsume and her siblings were at the agency with the others. She talked about what events she recently experienced as her siblings and friends listened. Shutendoji was sitting far back from everyone else. Micchy noticed as he went to him and sat next to Shutendoji.

"Why are you here?"Shutendoji asked.

Micchy responded,"You're sitting alone,far away from everyone else. Like some weirdo..."

"Says the one who stalks these kids..."Shutendoji mumbled.

Micchy says,"It's my job to protect them! I sworn to myself I would be the best hero ever!"

"It doesn't mean you have to be around them 24/7. This is why they're annoyed by you."Shutendoji stated.

Micchy points at him,"What about you?! You do the same thing!"

"I keep my distance like I am right now and I don't pester them. I only protect them if they need you...who acts like their personal bodyguard." Shutendoji explains.

Micchy sweats,"So...?!"

"They don't need protecting. They can take care of themselves. Besides...why do you act jealous every time I try to protect them?"Shutendoji questions.

Micchy got frantic,"Me?! Jealous?!"

"It's like...you want to keep them for yourself. Every time I interfere,you jump to conclusions that I'm taking them away from you."Shutendoji stated.

Micchy turned his head,"You're...right...but...it's the opposite."

"What do you mean?"Shutendoji got suspicious.

Micchy groans,regretting what he was about to say,"If everyone is revealing crazy secrets right now...I might as well reveal mine."

Shutendoji stared at Micchy as he turned back and noticed. He blushed in response,"I want to protect these kids...only because...they and Natsume's family are the only family I got. Why do you think I refer myself as their uncle or great uncle? I never had a real family."

"I see...I never had a family myself,but...it's really not for me."Shutendoji says.

Micchy spoke softly,"I only get jealous because...I don't want them to take...you away...from me."

"What...?"Shutendoji didn't understand what he was trying to say.

Micchy admits it,"At first,I thought you were a treat,but after I seen you protecting them and having way more power than me...I started to...admire you."

"So...you want to be my friend? I always thought we were rivals or some sort."Shutendoji said.

Micchy shook his head,"No...I look up to you and want to gain as much power as you. I want to learn from you...and...I have so many feelings for you!"

Shutendoji didn't know what to say. He was shocked to hear this.

"Shuten-sama ...will you be my partner?!"Micchy got flustered.

Shutendoji let out a soft smile,"Our differences end here. We're soul mates for life."

"Thank you Shuten-sama!"Micchy hugs him and quickly breaks it,realizing the kids were there.

"I hope no one saw that..."Micchy was embarrassed.

Hours passed,as Micchy and Shutendoji had conversations about their feelings for each other. The others never noticed,as they were too busy talking about Natsume's current situation.

Shutendoji spoke,"You know...I never felt this way about anyone. I always admired you...well...when you weren't being cocky."

"Same with you."Micchy laughs.

Shutendoji adds,"I think this will make us stronger than before. I never felt this way before...my heart always told me there was some reason I had to be with you.I never figured it out until now."

"It told you we should be where we're at now? We ended our rivalry just because I admitted my feelings for you."Micchy said proudly.

Shutendoji sweats,"Don't push it..."

"But isn't it weird we confessed our feelings...right here? In front of everyone...even if they didn't notice?"Micchy questions.

Shutendoji sighs,"I suppose...then again...when is the right time to tell everyone...about us?"

"Uh...I never thought about that. Maybe when everything happening now...isn't crazy?"Micchy suggested.

Shutendoji nods,"I like that idea. For now...we'll act the same as before,but after the reveal...you can be close to me as much as you want."

"Thank you Shuten-sama..."Micchy whispers.

They watch the others,as they moved a bit further apart from each other.

"This makes me want to get back on the subject of how the kids can protect theirselves."Shutendoji spoke up.

Micchy sweats,"But it's my job to protect them."

"Like I said,not all the time. Observe how I do it and follow my steps. You know they all have watches with extraordinary powers and have other Yokai to help them fight. Even Ayame doesn't have a watch and yet she uses her powers to protect herself."Shutendoji explains.

Micchy says,"Natsume has Akinori as her boyfriend to protect her and Ayame also has a boyfriend."

"Since when...?"Shutendoji asks.

Micchy shrugged,"I don't know...all she did was tell us she has a boyfriend. I don't know if she's lying or she won't tell us who it is."

"Even without one,she can still protect herself. The whole princess thing was only for Shuuka...but as for you...why call the girls princess?"Shutendoji questions.

Micchy exclaims,"Because...all girls are queens! And well...I always wanted to be a bodyguard for a princess."

"I see...I do miss guarding royalty,but...Natsume and Ayame are off limits and aren't necessarily if Natsume is a descent of Shuuka..."Shutendoji stated.

Micchy suggests,"Maybe we should guard a lady who doesn't have a man around her 24/7 like Natsume and Ayame do."

"It also depends how weak and strong they are. I can sense their weaknesses inside and outside their 's a power I never talk about."Shutendoji says.

Micchy replied,"Cool! How does it work?"

"I look at you and well...you're weak on the outside."Shutendoji was interrupted by Micchy,"Hey!"

Then he continues,"But...you're strong on the inside."

"Good. Wait...how does that work?"Micchy was dumbfounded.

Shutendoji explains,"A being's power is the strongest if they're strong on the inside. If anything damages them,it will not effect the inside of their body as much. Like you,for example,you might be weak on the outside,but every time you take damage,you always get right back up. That's because you're strong on the inside."

"I knew I was strong!"Micchy said with pride.

Shutendoji nods,"That's why Natsume and Ayame don't need protecting. Natsume is both strong on the outside and inside. Ayame is weak on the outside,but strong on the inside. As long as your inside is strong,you don't need protecting. I sense that everyone in this room is strong on the inside."

"Even Keisuke and Hijo...?"Micchy asked.

Shutendoji says,"Yes...but they're terribly weak on the outside."

They both chuckled at the thoughts,but Shutendoji paused and was in deep thought.

"What's wrong?"Micchy was a bit concerned.

Shutendoji sweats,"Suddenly...I sense someone here who has a weak inside..."

"Really?"Micchy asks.

They turn to see Jibanyan,who just came to the agency for a visit.

"It's that feline again...she's incredibly strong on the outside but...she's extremely weak on the inside."Shutendoji stated.

Micchy sweats,"What?! No way! You mean this Yokai,who's stronger than me,is actually weaker?!"

"I'm afraid so. It's the inside that counts. Not the outside,no matter how strong."Shutendoji says.

Micchy felt bad,"I know I tease her sometimes that I'm stronger than her,but...it turns out that I might be stronger than her after all?!"

"I think she's the one who needs to be protected. What is your relation with her?"Shutendoji wondered.

Micchy says,"She's my niece...well not my actual niece. My adopted niece,because Whisper is like a brother to me and I promised him to protect his daughter. I mean...she has this husband,who's strong as fuck...but...he's not always around."

"We should do him a favor and protect her."Shutendoji suggests.

Micchy exclaims,"Alright! We found our new princess!"

They walk up to the others as Natsume noticed them.

"You guys finally came over. Don't tell me you two were fighting over who's better."Natsume groans.

Micchy sweats,"Uh...no!"

"I was teaching him some life lessons...that's all."Shutendoji lied.

Natsume was confused,"Ok then..."

"We meet again feline."Shutendoji says to Jibanyan.

Jibanyan replied,"It's Jibanyan..."

"She just came over to tell us that we all have gather here this weekend for something important."Natsume explains.

Micchy mumbles,"Oh...I see..."

"Whatcha want?" Jibanyan asks.

Shutendoji says," to make sure you're doing well and it was nice to see you and sound."

"Um...thanks?" Jibanyan was a little weirded out.

Micchy interrupts,"We'll be on our way! Bye!"

He drug Shutendoji outside with him as he groaned,"Do you want them to think we're being weird?"

"I was just speaking with them." Shutendoji stated.

Micchy says,"If they see us acting out of the ordinary,they'll know something is up."

"I thought we were going to protect the feline."Shutendoji sweats.

Micchy replies,"We the time is right."

Shutendoji shrugs as they plan out when they'll start their plan to protect Jibanyan .
