Kyuu And The Seven War Demons
We're now going to take a break from the usual quest in finding the rest of the Oni as the gang takes a slight detour and goes back to Kanna Village as one of their companions wants to go home first to check if her people are safe after being told by Genbu that Lady Megumi's village will be their next target and she is unwilling to let that happen.
And expect another battle as Kyuu, and their Oni allies try to hatch a plan to chase the Makamou away from the village so they could go on with their quest.

Two months after Prince Ryuki, aka the Oni Ibuki joined Kyuu and his friends in their quest , Yuko Ichihara was smoking a 15th century cigar while staring at her crystal ball, guessing what "adventure" they'll be taking in next. She was quite pleased with how the flow of the scene is taking after Kyuu has found the 3rd of the seven Oni in their midst after Touki joined their cause. She also smirked at Kyuu's simpleton-like attitude as he was a step away from finding the 1st Oni yet his so-called deduction ability did not kick in at how he met his 15th century counterpart.
"How unfortunate…you, from the future…a so-called detective, didn't notice that you're chance in netting your first Oni was already there but you didn't check the area thoroughly…I guess you're still to young to figure it out just yet…but that's alright…I'm enjoying the show so far…"
At that moment, her two young assistants, Maru and Maro, barges in to the scene, and as always, they ran around like a cat and mouse chasing each other, bumping the table and her things fell off, thus Yuko was a bit paranoid as her crystal ball flew into the air and she frantically managed to save her crystal ball from smashing into pieces, but her "ash tray" fell on top of her head the floor was littered with ashes and her tea spilled on the carpet, and glared at the two as they continued to ran around like hyperactive kids, and she sweat-dropped at the scene as the two little assistants are now "wrestling" like Triple HHH and The Rock.
"WILL YOU TWO STOP RUNNING AROUND?? YOU'VE CAUSED A MESS HERE ALREADY!!"
"Kyuu will find the Oni! Kyuu will find the Oni! Kyuu will find the Oni! Kyuu will find the Oni! And when he does…he'll come here! He'll come here! He'll come here and make love to Lady Megumi…!!"
"Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie… Kyuu will seduce Yuko!! Kyuu will seduce Yuko…he'll show her his birdie…"
Yuko stared wide-eyed at her two assistants' rather crude remarks and retorts, and even though she seems to like the idea of seducing the Class Q leader, she was still a respected woman who doesn't take pleasure in taking advantage. She's too polite to do such things so she reprimanded the two in a stern manner.
"YOU MORONS!! STOP WITH THOSE PERVERTED COMMENTS!! WE'RE IN A PG-13 FIC!! THE MODERATORS WILL HAVE OUR HIDE FOR THIS!! NOW GO CLEAN UP THE MESS!! AND I MEAN PRONTO!! I SAID STOP RUNNING AROUND AND GET TO WORK!!"
"CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!! CLEAN THE MESS!!"
"JUST SHUT UP AND DO IT!! NOW!!"

Far away, Kyuu and the gang were walking the road leading to a hill as they had just encountered a group of Crow Makamou who seem to be targeting Lady Megumi due to the fact that she has the "mark of Orochi" on her left hand and are not stopping until they took her to their master. Touki did the job by freezing them in mid-air while Ibuki uses his trumpet to produce sound waves to "shatter" them out of their misery.
After that they went up to the hill and from there they could see the view below, where they vaguely saw smoke emanating from several villages. They can tell that the villages are being attacked, but they couldn't figure out why, since they are after their next sacrifice who is with them. Silence enveloped the travelers until Kyuu came up with a logical reason, which then followed by another comment from Lady Megumi.
"I think they're attacking the village on purpose…perhaps they're counting that we'll come to the villagers' aid so that they can ambush us and take Lady Megumi away in the height of the melee. I'm sorry, guys but…we can't risk it. We'll have to ignore it for now. We're on the top of the hill so even if we get going we won't make it on time."
Lady Megumi watches the scene from far away, feeling sorry for the villages being attacked all because of her, but then a memory flashed in her mind, as she suddenly recalled what the Griffin Makamou, Genbu of the Four Trines said to her before Prince Ryuki revealed himself as the Oni Ibuki and jumped into action.
"So…you must be the next sacrifice…good, I'll deliver you to the Orochi while your friends are being slaughtered…and the next will be your village…unless you willingly submitted to our master and your virginity…But if you do not come with us your village will disappear. They are now aware of it…if they do not give you to us, no one will be spared…"
"Kyuu…everyone…let's go to Kanna Village…I want to make sure everyone's safe…"
"Lady Megumi…I admire your concern for your people, but if you go there the Makamou will only use your people as hostages to coerce you to go with them. Even if the Orochi give his word to spare them, he won't spare you. Even if you live, he make you a "baby maker" and you'll be bound to eternal suffering."
Prince Ryuki showed his genuine concern since among the group he was the only regal one since he is the heir to his country's throne. Kabuki remained mum on the issue, but was observed by Kyuu, wondering why he was so calm at this time of crisis. Kazumaki then intervene and told the others what is on his mind.
"I say we go to Kanna Village. I believe Buddha has a reason for this to happen. I might talk to the village chief and their elders about this. Besides, we might encounter the next Oni on our way there. Let's go on our way then…"
And so it was settled and the travelers went down the hill and walked their way to Kyoto to get to Kanna Village and hoped that the village has not come under Makamou attack, but as the rest were looking straight forward, Kabuki took out what appeared to be a paper and took out another paper which became an origami-like bird and took the paper and flew away to another direction, and Kabuki made sure no one notices anything.

An hour later, at the temple at the far north, the 3rd member of the Four Trines came and meet up with Orochi, and he resembled a 10-foot, grey-colored, humanoid-like tiger. He was identified as Byakko, and the two behemoths began to discuss something until Douji came with a report which seemed to have raised their sides' spirits.
"Master Orochi…Master Byakko…I receive a message from our spy…the travelers are heading to Kyoto…at the village of Kanna. It also says that the next sacrifice is among the ones we are chasing. She said she wanted to check if her village has not yet been invaded…this is perhaps our best chance to capture her and kill those Oni if we use the villagers as our hostages…"
"Perhaps, Master Orochi, this would be a good chance to gain our victory…I say I go to that village and use intimidation to threaten them to do our bidding. I'm sure it would be on our favor…I promise you the maiden will be yours to take…"
"So be it, Byakko…bring her alive…and the rest are yours to take. Go, my ally, spill blood and promote terror and fear to those humans!"
After that, Byakko left and took some Makamou soldiers with them, intending to do what he intended to do, and he was smirking at the thought of taking human lives.

At the road leading to Kanna Village, which is 45 minutes away, the group encountered a group of thieving samurais, and surrounded the group, as they are about 20 of them. As Ryuki draws his sword and Kazumaki uses his martial arts skills, Kabuki just stood there and watch as Kyuu was being clobbered and pinned down while Lady Megumi was being laid on the ground, removing her clothes as they intended to rape her. This made him realize that he couldn't ignore this and decided to help out, but before he was about to initialize his Oni transformation, he was clobbered by other samurais and pinned on the ground.
"Oof! Get off me!"
At the height of the struggle, Kyuu saw that one of the samurais took off his lower clothes was about to "enter" her and in blind rage he managed to grab one of the attackers knife and repeatedly stabbed his attackers, broke free and sliced off the rapist's organ, and the rapist screamed out in pain, blood spilled as he just lost his ""manliness. As Kyuu stabbed the other attackers Lady Megumi managed to move and ran to safer area but saw Kyuu being assaulted and was stabbed on his legs. He screamed in pain as the attacker further repeated the action.
At that point Kazumaki called on Buddha's name and lightning appeared and struck the samurais down, charring them all dead. He then came to Kyuu and Ryuki took off Kyuu's pants to check on his wounds. It wasn't deep, but he was now not in any condition to walk, so they bandaged his thighs and Kabuki carried him on his back.
"Hey! Let me wear my pants!"
"Sorry, kid. We won't be able to monitor your wounds. Besides, just because she's looking at you "down there" doesn't mean she won't become impure. Unless you want her to touch you there…"
"HEY!"
Lady Megumi blushed while the others sweat-dropped, but they nevertheless continued with their journey. But what they didn't know is that the samurais were "paid" by Byakko to delay them as the Four Trines member arrived at Kanna Village and gave them an ultimatum or their village will face extinction. After that they left and waited at a nearby abandoned house to await the travelers' arrival.
- - -
When the travelers arrived at Kanna Village, the group were taken by surprise as some of the male villagers grabbed Lady Megumi, stripped her naked and tied her to a pike while the others held Kyuu and the group at "gunpoint" (or rather at "spear-point"), telling them that they must give her to the Orochi or else the village would be destroyed. Megumi's relatives were angered by their co-villagers' cowardice and told them to let her go but the men wouldn't relent, until the village chief arrived after a week-long tour to find some help and saw what has happened and shouted at the men for their foolishness. Soon she was set free as Kazumaki began to discuss with the village chief about what to do next.

At Lady Megumi's hut, she brought a large basin along with a wet cloth to clean Kyuu's injured thighs while cleaning his body and then bandaged them, blushing as Kyuu was naked from the waist-down, finding it hard to ignore his "manliness", but she kept her composure and concentrated in caring for her "savior". Kyuu was also blushing as he had to "expose" himself to a stranger who bears a resemblance to his girlfriend.
"Sorry, I had to expose myself to you…"
"No…it's alright. I must endure it as you save my life. This is the only way to repay you for saving me. Do not feel ashamed, for when the time comes for me to get married, I will eventually see what a naked man, who would become my husband, is like."
The two had to avoid eye contact while the wound cleansing is in progress, and when his wounds were fully bandaged, he saw her crying softly as she stared at her left hand which still has the mark of Orochi embalmed and he was compelled to comfort her and when he hugged in sympathy, he felt that he was hugging the real Megumi, as both versions had the same scent, voice and caring vibes. As the two stared at each other, they felt like being pulled together and without realizing it, they kissed, from a simple peck to a passionate one. After breaking the kiss, she gently touched her lips, realizing it was her first, and then glances at her "savior", as she realizes that she has fallen for him.
Kyuu stared wide-eyed in shock at what he just did, but he couldn't help it as he did it to comfort her, but then his heart beat faster and harder as Lady Megumi slowly removed her clothes until she has nothing left, and then sat next to him, she looks down seeing that he was "energized" and slowly removed his upper clothing until he was naked, and she gently pinned him down on the futon. He took a deep breath as she lay on top of him, every part of his body reacted feeling her skin contacted with his.
"L-Lady M-Megumi…wh-what…are…"
"You bear your soul to me Kyuu…I think…this is the least I can give in return…"
She kissed him again and with gentle passion, and he was about to rebut, but when she touched his lower "part", he finds himself agreeing with her.
- - -
At the village hall, the village chief and Kazumaki had a discussion along with everyone else (save for Kyuu and Lady Megumi) and came to an agreement on what their plan would be in order to fight the Makamou and chase them away. After some initial protests, the villagers finally agreed to their suggestions provided that Kazumaki would "deliver" a miracle.
After the meeting, Ryuki went to Megumi's hut to check on them and saw the two sitting up fully clothed, and told them what happened during the meeting, but before leaving, he thought he smelled something odd, but did not act on it, unaware that the two made love in secret.
- - -
At the site of the "offering" The villagers stood there while the "sacrifice" is waiting inside a wagon and when Byakko arrived he asked the village chief where the Oni are and the chief replied that they chased them away while Lady Megumi is inside. Pleased by this he took the wagon and then glanced at the village chief.
"Well done…your services are no longer needed. Kill them all."
"But you promised…"
"We lied. Lady Megumi will live…as the master's baby-maker…"
At that point, sounds of a trumpet emanated from the wagon and Byakko was forced to drop it, which revealed to be Ibuki in disguise, and emerged from the wagon, still blowing the trumpet. Kabuki and Touki also emerged and used their OniGeki attacks on the small fies while other villagers attacked with their spears and arrows. Soon Byakko was the only one left, and was about to escape when Kabuki uses his Taiko attack, while Touki freezes the Tiger Makamou's legs, trapping him where he stands and uses his gong to weaken it further and Ibuki blows his trumpet very loud.
The sounds from the three mystical instruments proved to be too much and Byakko "exploded" into nothingness and reduced to ashes. The villagers cheered in victory and Touki stared in heaven and made a call to the heavens to ask for protection. In an instant a barrier was formed and Touki said that the barrier will protect everyone in the village from Makamou attacks, but warned that the barrier will weaken if an act of wicked urge is committed. The villagers to the advice at heart and became good.

Four days later Kyuu and the others left Kanna village as they continue to search for the remaining Oni so they could defeat the Makamou and Orochi. Lady Megumi also left as she will also lend a hand in searching with the group. After the group departed, Lady Megumi's elder sister checked on her little sister's futon as she decided to fix her room, but discovered something there.
"My, my…she has found a lover…lucky girl…"
To Be Continued…
I guess you're all surprised at what just happened there…the priestess gave herself to Kyuu, and Kyuu did the same since he wanted to comfort her and that she resembles the real Megumi…hope you're not mad at me…
Preview:
The Orochi makes his moves and tries to capture his sacrifice head-on and Kyuu's group make their first attempt to fight him. Will their numbers be enough to chase him away?
