"You're not human are 'ya?"
Rihan smiled at Naruto, "I'm not."
Naruto shifted from where he sat next to Rihan beneath one of the trees in the park, "Then what are 'ya? If you're not human."
Rihan leaned back against the trunk of the tree, the hair that fell in his eyes shifting as he did so, "Well… Have you ever heard of yokai?"
"Yokai?" Naruto scrunched up his nose and narrowed his eyes in confusion, "Nope. What are they?"
"Thats difficult to explain… Yokai are spirits. There are all sorts of different kinds. Everything from objects that have gained life, animals with magic powers, and ghosts. Where I come from, yokai are considered creatures of Yami. Yokai are black, while humans are white. My father was a yokai called Nurarihyon, and my mother was human. So I'm both and neither."
"Ehh…" Naruto looked down and fidgeted where he sat, before asking another question, "Where yokai treated nice where yer' from?"
"Not really. Yokai are considered evil. Yokai do bad things. They kill, rape, and play mean tricks. That's what most humans think. And they're right, partially so at least."
"Did the villagers where yer' from treat ya' alright?"
Rihan nodded, "They did. Because they didn't know I wasn't entirely human. But when I wasn't human to them, they feared me instead. That's how it is for most hanyo."
Naruto looked down at his lap, clenching his fists in the grass and frowning, "Feared, huh?"
AN: Another chapter here. I have some more done than this already, and I'll be posting it a bit later. The chapters are probably going to start getting out of order. Ideas for this come in flashes, and often times they aren't all in order. I'll write something and come up with something that happens before it just a bit later. Just a warning. I also changed the humor tag to friendship, because none of the stuff I've come up with recently is very humorous.
Yami - A term that describes a person or thing that's related to darkness or evil
