Author's Note: Wow short chapter, but strangely enough I was really excited to write this chapter (not sure why).
Arghhhhh I tried to post links to show every pictures of the Western Yokai, because some of them you may have not heard of before, or you've heard and never seem them before...but that was a failure ._. HUGE FAILURE DX
J-j-just enjoy the chapter!
Behemoth looked like a mutated lion, was twelve feet tall and had a beefy build. Behemoth also had a black mane, with an irregular shaped horn on top of its head, and long claws for both his hands and feets. Behemoth charged at the three kids on his four legs.
"Are you kidding me?" Rio growled, as his neck was still in a bit of pain. "My head is woozy."
"It hurts to move." Ren panted loudly. "I'm not even in Yokai form."
"I can still move. Even though you froze me, my body regained its warmth." Kiyoshi took out a card. "You're easy to hit. You just go in a straight line."
Behemoth began heading for Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi threw a card at Behemoth and before it could hit Behemoth he suddenly stood on two legs and jumped into the air, avoiding the hit.
"Y-you're kidding me! He can walk on two feet?" Kiyoshi gasped as his eyes were in fear. "Shikigami!"
Kiyoshi and his clone ran into two different directions. Behemoth stopped and sniffed out the air.
"The one on my right, is calm, but the one on my left, seems to be sweating quite a lot." Behemoth announced.
"So so Behemoth." Vampire clapped his hands. "I'm guessing you have this under control? As much I would enjoy watching, we have some business to attend to. We gotta make our presence known in Ukiyoe Town." Vampire and his group began to walk away.
"Are we going to use the zombies?" Doppelganger spoke as he turned from his black translucent human formed blob, and switched to look exactly like Vampire.
Vampire tilted his head, his expression on his face was undecisive. "Ehhh…I don't find…" He began to wobble side to side. "Typical zombie invasions…fun. I mean, it seems so over done. Have you seen the games in North America and Europe? Zombie killing is the new thing in games."
"Video games? What is this nonsense, I've never played any of these before!" Chimera roared.
"That's because you don't have hands!" Vampire patted Chimera on the head.
"Hey leader, aren't you going to get hurt if you're exposed to the sun for too long?" Valkryie, the winged swordswoman asked him.
"I've got about 15 minutes left before it does any serious damage. I would get my umbrella back from where Behemoth is…but it's embarrassing to go back just because I forgot about it." Vampire sighed. "Oh well, at least I can survive in the sun unlike normal vampires, even though my maximum limit being exposed is 30 minutes."
"So? What's the plan, what are we going to do with Ukiyoe Town? This random talking is getting boring." Doppelganger asked the group.
"Well first…" Vampire had to think about it, "Can you stop being me? And second, I don't have an umbrella so we'll sleep this day in. I don't even wanna go out at night anymore."
Valkryie looked ashamed, "Ugh, our leader reverted back to being lazy."
"Just when I thought things would get exciting." Chimera was walking lazily.
"Hey, his orders are absolute! We're sleeping in!" Doppelganger agreed with Vampire's decision.
"You only agree because you're lazy!" Chimera growled at him.
"If my orders absolute…stop copying my identity!" Vampire yelled at him.
"Leader, you were cool and serious back when talking to that Nurarihyon." Valkryie shook her head, "And then you're with us you revert back to an idiot."
"Yeah, but it's boring being serious with friends, I gotta instill some fear," Vampire grinned at them, his fangs were obvious to spot. "I must always maintain a badass attitude in front of our enemies in order to intimidate them!"
"This guy is so unpredictable!" Kiyoshi was out of breath. "One minute he's on four legs like a dog, then the next minute he runs at me like a human!"
Kiyoshi threw multiple cards at Behemoth, but the monster simply swiped them away to protect himself. Behemoth leaped into the air and landed right in front of Kiyoshi. The floor shook and Kiyoshi just fell to the ground. Behemoth put one claw on Kiyoshi, the monster's stench was horrendous. Kiyoshi looked like he was ready to vomit.
"Disgusting!" Kiyoshi yelped. "Best…first day ever. So, Behemoth…you going to kill me?" Kiyoshi grinned.
"Like hell he will!" Rio yelled as he was still clenching his neck, but slowly began to walk toward Behemoth.
Behemoth only had to simply stretch his neck and he bit on Rio's clothing, dropped him on the floor and stepped on him with his other claw. Rio and Kiyoshi were beside each other, each under Behemoth's claws.
"Oh good plan the fourth commander of Nurarihyon's Hyakki Yako." Kiyoshi sarcastically complimented.
"I-I thought my body would respond quick enough." Rio spoke as if he were ashamed of himself.
"Vampire doesn't want you dead." Behemoth looked at Rio, "But I don't think he cares about you." Behemoth stared at Kiyoshi and licked his lips. "Thanks for the food!"
"Devour, Gengen."
A black wolf appeared out of the ground and in front of Behemoth.
"Hah? Who is this now?" Behemoth smiled. "Saving your friends now?" Behemoth began to laugh.
"Why are you laughing? You need to brush your teeth, I can smell it from here."
"W-where are you?" Behemoth looked around, his claws still on Kiyoshi and Rio.
"T-that was voice!" Kiyoshi had a sense of relief. "You're dead Behemoth!"
"You better not open your mouth, I may have said 'Devour Gengen' but it's an order I have to say, though that wolf looks like it will attack you, it's true target is your mouth."
Gengen was circling Behemoth at full speed.
"Hah, do you really think I'd believe that?" Behemoth yelled out to the sky, still unable to find the source of the voice.
"Thankfully, heh…I didn't think you'd believe it."
Gengen ran into Behemoth's mouth when he yelled to the sky. Behemoth stepped off the two boys and was clutching himself, trying to get rid of the pain. "W-what the hell is this?" He was speaking muffled.
"Didn't I tell you? Gengen's target is your mouth. A water-type Shikigami, once it enters your body, it'll mess around with your fluids."
Kiyoshi stood up and grabbed Rio and dropped him beside Ren. "Leave this to the Onmyoujis."
Behemoth began to shake violently until he spat out Gengen along with his fluids. His insides felt destroyed. "W-who are you?"
Ryuuji jumped from his hiding spot which was the tree where Ren and Kiyoshi had first met up. Ryuuji began to walk toward Behemoth.
"I'm the one who's going to kill you, isn't that obvious? Realize your situation, there's no way you can win. Gyouken."
The battlefield was surrounded by large konjousui water flowers.
"W-what is this?" Behemoth was still holding his insides but soon let go.
"Are you getting scared? You don't even know what they do. The purity from this water is 99.999%. Anything touched by this water…will dissolve instantly."
Behemoth snarled at him. "I'm too big to avoid these flowers!"
"Sucks to be you doesn't it?" Kiyoshi smiled at him.
"You may be large, but lucky for you, this uses up a lot of my energy. I can only hold this for 3 minutes, if you last that long you win. Out of all times I've used this technique, only one person has survived." Ryuuji send a flower at Behemoth and it landed on his right arm, the skin began to melt.
"S-someone survived this?" Behemoth's eyes were half shut. "Who?"
"Impossible isn't it? I thought so too." Ryuuji shrugged his shoulders. "The only person to have survived this," Ryuuji scoffed. "My sister's idiotic Yokai friend."
Ryuuji sent more flowers at Behemoth, it hit everywhere on his body, and all the skin began disgustingly peeling off.
"It's only been a minute!" Ryuuji chuckled. "See you later, you ugly Youkai from the West. The exorcist must have done a really bad job, to have this entire group make it here in Japan. Kiyoshi, he's done for."
"Sorry Behemoth, but you should have never made me you're meal!"
Kiyoshi did fancy poses as he threw dozens of cards at Behemoth's melting flesh. Behemoth screamed violently and fell to the floor, then just disappeared.
"I felt so useless…" Rio stared as he was in his human form.
"Yeah, Yokai are generally like that." Ryuuji looked to the sky. "Good thing you're safe, your dad would have killed me…actually no…your mom would have killed me. We don't have time for school right now, we're going to the Nura household. Kiyoshi pick up that girl, she's injured."
Kiyoshi awkwardly stared at Ren. "S-sorry for injuring you."
"What are you doing giving her a perverted stare? I'll carry her, you get Rio." Ryuuji ordered him.
"W-what perverted stare?" Kiyoshi felt annoyed as he picked up Rio.
"Ahh…hopefully members of the Nura house remember me. If not…you two are hostages." Ryuuji told them calmly.
"Oh, I've heard of the Yokai known as Vampires." Yura commented.
"Yeah he's the most feared demon." Cyclops told them.
"Those names don't strike any fear in me." Rikuo scratched his head.
"In fact, those names sound cute~!" Tsurara grinned at him.
"C-c-c-cute?" Cyclop seemed annoyed and brought his head in defeat "I wish you were Nurarihyon, I want the Top Five to kill you."
