Author's Note: Uwaaaaaaaaah~ ): Sorry, it has been so incredibly long since I have uploaded a chapter, my goodness nearly a year. So for that, I'm definitely sorry. I bet most of you barely even remember the plot, don't worry I had to re-read too. There really is excuse so for that I am just so sorry ._.

Anyway, since it's been a while this chapter is a chapter to help me get in the flow of the tone I used to write this story in, so it might feel different but um, yes. (Quotations, talking, quotations) means someone is thinking that in their mind.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

"Master! Welcome bac…" The greeting of all the Youkai in the Nura household drop dead silent.

Ryuuji was carrying Rio on one shoulder and Kiyoshi on the other.

"It's the onmyouji!" The household was in uproar at his appearance.

"Yeah, we onmyouji were told by the brat and his wife to stay here, he gave us a mission to check things out and here we are." Ryuuji calmly explained the situation to them. "Now let us stay here…or we'll exterminate you and your next leader that I'm holding right now."

"The Third said you could stay here?" A growling voice snarled directly at Ryuuji's face. Zen had his arms crossed, "Hey you guys, show these guest to their rooms." He turned his toward to Ryuuji, "Pass me the kid."

Ryuuji stared at Zen, paused for a moment and then passed him Kiyoshi, "Here you go."

Zen looked down, noticed the kid wasn't Rio and dropped him flat on his face.

"I meant pass me Rio!"

Kiyoshi woke up from being dropped, quickly got back to his feet and stuck a card underneath Zen's neck.

"Hey asshole, it's rude to drop me on the floor, or anybody else for that matter! Don't make me hurt…" Kiyoshi spotted string flying at him, but his reactions were too slow, his arms were caught and so were his legs. "You?"

Kubanashi played with the string for a bit, "Realize that you're in a house full of Youkai, onmyouji boy." He completely loosened the string around Kiyoshi. "Pass Rio to Zen, and then let him rest. Ryuuji, explain the situation."

"Sure, got it. Hey Kiyoshi, since we're important guest requested by their commander, let's enjoy ourselves at Hotel Nura, shall we?" Ryuuji grinned at him.

"You guys better prepare for the worse, it's going to be a full scale invasion." Cyclops snickered.

"Oiiiii, Yuraaaaa, does this place have a fridge? I'm starving." Rikuo was already across the other side of the spacious room, searching everywhere for a fridge.

"Hey don't ignore me!" Cyclops hollered out to them, as he was tied up to a large heavy statue. "Didn't you hear me? All of the demons are going to attack Kyoto!"

"I heard you." Yura opened one eye as she said that. "But I'm not scared in the least."

"I really doubt these Top Five, are able to command every Western demon, it's just their own Hyakki Yako, nothing to be scared of." Rikuo shrugged his shoulders and then grabbed Tsurara's hand.

"We'll take them on, because with Rikuo and Yura teaming up, there's nothing that can stop them!" Tsurara cheerfully smiled.

"Yeah!" Rikuo brought a celebratory fist in the air, "Now about the food…"

"Is that really all you care about?!" Yura smacked him on the head.

Rikuo sniffed and his voice trembling, "W-we've come all the way here to stay at Hotel Yura, expecting a bed and breakfast…and lunch and dinner."

"And midnight snacks." Tsurara added in.

"Are you kidding me?..." Yura could feel the stress building up.

"And your hotel can't even provide such simple services?!" Rikuo viciously shook Yura. "You scammed us, I'm telling everyone to never visit this place!"

"Good please do, I want you two to never come back as well." Yura had her hands in a prayer.

"Oh when you put it like that, maybe we'll extend our stay~ Fufufu" Tsurara giggled.

"Are you kidding me?!" Yura winded up a fist and released her anger out on Cyclops, instantly knocking him out cold. "Ah, oops, oh whatever he's a demon."

"Wah? Waaaz you mean you aren't going to zerve us foooood?" Ryuuji slurred his words and was unable to sit still. "K-Kubanashi, I was told by the oh so great Rikuo Nura, that me and this kid…right here…" he pointed to Kiyoshi. "That we'd get whatever was needed. If not, we're g-guh-g-giving Hotel Nura, a bad reviews."

"He's drunk." Kejoro exclaimed at the sight of what was once the sadistic brother of the Keikain head.

"He is so drunk." Kubanashi shook his head.

"Y-You idiotic Youkai, you gave him sake!" Kiyoshi shook his fist was them.

"He didn't even finish one cup, ONE and he's already like…well…that." Kubanashi pointed to Ryuuji who was in the drunken monkey pose.

Kiyoshi stared at his mentor, looking fully disappointed, "I will never tell anyone about this."

"You…you won't?" Ryuuji leaned on his student's shoulder, "Why nooooot? Hey…hey, let me tell you about Yura drunk, she is one of those angry drunks."

"Ugh, this is gonna be a long night…" Kiyoshi sighed at the thought, "We'll inform everyone tomorrow. Kiyoshi stood up, and left the room. He stared at the cherry blossom tree, the petal slowly falling to the ground in the moonlit sky. "Why is there…a full moon out? That's not right."

"Yo, Kiyoshi, right?" Night Rio sat on the tree, his long light blue hair sticking out.

"You're Rio?" Kiyoshi questioned him.

"Yeah, well I'm the Youkai side of Rio."

"Let me tell you this now, we are not going to get along, ever." Kiyoshi glared at him.

"Why not? Something traumatic happened involving Youkai?"

"None of your business, you damn Youkai!" Kiyoshi snarled at him, a card ready in his hand.

"Are you itching for a fight?" Night Rio smirked at him, "Because we can fight each other now and destroy ourselves without that Vampire guy even lifting a single finger, or we team up and kill him."

"What if I said, it was a practice match?" Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.

"Heheh, you definitely are itching for a fight." Night Rio got off from the tree and stood in front of him.

"I want to see what you're capable of, since the human in you failed in trying to take down Behemoth!" Kiyoshi threw multiple cards at him.

Instead of dodging, Rio took a deep breath and exhaled, his ice breath froze the cards. They dropped to the ground and shattered.

"I'm the son of a Yuki-onna, so of course I can be capable of possessing ice abilities."

"I'll keep that in mind." Kiyoshi smiled as he threw more cards and then immediately cloned himself and all clones dashed towards him.

"I wasn't telling you my power because we're fighting, I'm telling you because we're comrades, I was hoping you'd be able to think of a technique that works well with my abilities in the upcoming fight." Night Rio explained to him. "And I'm well aware of your tricky moves so here's one!"

Night Rio blended in with the night and became invisible.

"No way, I can't see him!" "Hey, how am I supposed to think of a technique that works well with this?" Kiyoshi threw his cards into the air, they began to float and glow, instantly a green barrier formed around him.

"A barrier? Nice reaction time," Night Rio gave his sword an ice attribute and slashed at the barrier, it broke and Kiyoshi jumped back.

"This guy, he's stronger than I thought. I didn't think I'd lose this badly! I guess…doing that might help turn the tides." Kiyoshi brought a card with a seal on it, flat onto his left wrist, "Releasing onmyouji seal #1."

His left arm transformed into a demonic looking claw, it was pure at the fingertips and then the entire arm was black.

"Wh-what the hell is that?! Onmyouji have techniques like that in development?" Night Rio was shocked at the sight, and dashed towards Kiyoshi.

Night Rio slashed at the arm, but the claw slapped Night Rio away, sending his body flying. Night Rio ran back to Kiyoshi, reached close range, but Kiyoshi used the claw to grab him by the head. Night Rio struggled but then immediately smiled.

"Fuuuuuu~" Rio blew ice on Kiyoshi who was slowly having his body getting frozen in a block of ice. "Well, I'm going to stop right there~ that was fun, Kiyoshi."

"Really? You decided it like that?" Kiyoshi was disappointed at the anti-climatic ending. "Initiating Onmyouji seal #1" The claw turned back to his normal hand.

"About that hand…never mind I'll ask at another time. To be honest, this kid." Night Rio pointed at himself, "Needs to go to school tomorrow."

Rio was back in his human form, he lied on the futon in the room and closed his eyes. He heard the sound of the Youkai partying but there was something bothering him. There was an odd sensation that didn't feel right. Suddenly there was a sound beside him, the ruffling sound of another futon in the room.

"Gahhh!" Rio shrieked and immediately unwrapped himself from the blanket.

"Hrgh…huh? W-w-w-what are you d-doing? You w-w-woke me u-up." Ren whined in her sleepy voice.

"Ren, what the hell are you doing in my room?" Rio demanded an answer.

"The o-o-onmyouji are using my room to sl-sleep in, so I decided that since your f-f-f-father assigned me to be one of y-your close aides, that I sh-should be near y-you at all times!" Ren explained to him.

"I don't think he meant close like this!" Rio face palmed.

"B-b-but Ts-Tsurara is your dad's c-close aide, he sleeps with her!" Ren tried to herself.

"Yeah but…" The image in his head made him blush red, "I'm not gonna have a baby with you!"

"W-w-w-w-w-wait what?!" Ren stared at him weirdly.

"They're married, you understand? Married! Ugh, Toru is going to kill me if he finds out about this." Rio sighed.

Rio felt the touch of someone's hand on his shoulder. He stared at Ren, she was still in her futon, there was no way she was touching his shoulder. A raspy voice whispered in his ear.

"Lesson one, Vampires are nocturnal."
