Sorry, about that I put in the ooc, au, and oc. I'm new to this site so my apologies about any mistakes. Sachi just moved in Rikuos' street so I thought he'd try to be friendly. This chapter is based loosely off the Tooryanse arc if you haven't read it yet don't read this until you do. Disclaimer: I do Not own Nurarihyon no Mago.
Sachi's Pov
"Hey, Kiyotsugu-kun where's Rikuo-kun?" asked Kana looking for around for the pudding haired boy.
"Nura-kun fell asleep in science class," Kiyotsugu informed her," but we still need to assign yokai investigations to everyone with or without him. Ienaga-kun you have Hanako-san, Torii-kun you have Aka manto, Tachibana-kun you have Tooryanse, Maki-kun you'll have Kuchisake-onna, Shima-kun you have Teke teke, and Keikain-kun you will have Gozu."
"But Kiyotsugu-san aren't those all dangerous?" asked Shima the fear showing on his face.
"Yes, but that's a risk I'm willing to take."
Natsumi sighed, "What about the rest of us?"
"Don't any of you want to see the wonderful Supreme commander of yokai that saved us while we where small?" Yelled Kiyotsugu in his crazed yokai loving way.
"We don't care about that if we'll die!"
"But-"
"Stop it!" I yelled, "if we're careful we'll be fine, besides we are the Kiyojuji paranormal patrol investigation squad investigating yokai is what we do and Kiyotsugu you still shouldn't have us do dangerous stuff."
"Tachibana-san, I'm so happy hearing that from you," wailed Kiyotsugu.
"I guess we'll be fine," said Maki sighing
"Well, let's get going," I said walking out the door.
! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*!
So Oumagatoki street. Huh? Rikuo was talking to a hugedude with white hair and red highlights wearing a maroon cloak.
"Because of that Hihi clan's fear must extend there," huge guy said.
"Okay, but why are you asking me instead of the older clan heads?" asked Rikuo.
"Well you became third at this age, right?" asked huge dude.
"Yes."
"If we're talking about age, you and me are pretty close," he figured, "and isn't it normal for rookie leaders to ask each other things they don't know?"
"Got it! Let's go together," Rikuo said jumping up," This is Shoei-kuns' request. I'm so happy you decided to depend on me!"
"Th-thank you, Young master," the newly named Shoei said.
Third head, territory, clans? Who exactly is Rikuo I asked myself following them.
! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*!
"So it's time," Shoei said, "the so called time before the sunset."
"Can you hear it?" Rikuo asked looking around.
"No, just bird song."
All of a sudden the street light changed and an odd sound filled the street.
"Shoei-kun, do you hear that?" asked Rikuo.
"That isn't the sound of any mechanical appliance," Shoei figured, "what is it?"
"Look a narrow path," Rikuo pointed out.
"Let's go!" he said running into the path when they ran into a crying girl.
*Sniff* "I wanna go home," the little girl said sniffling.
"It's alright you can go home with us," Rikuo said smiling at the girl.
"No! I can't go home. Be-because I don't have a face," the little girl wailed showing the empty space where her face should of been when both she and Rikuo disappeared.
"Nura-san!" I screamed jumping out of my hiding place to the staring Shoei,"Uhm, it's not like I've been following you guys or anything I just thought this creepy pathway would be fun to walk, I'm Tachibana, Sachi.
"I'm Shoei," he said introducing himself.
I started to look around," Do you know where Nura-san is?"
"No, he disappeared before my eyes just a second ago," he said still staring at the place Rikuo was.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecccccccckkkk kkkkkk!"
"What's wrong?"
"My eyes and ears stopped working for a second there," I said sheepishly.
He sighed, "Did You really have to scream?"
"No, but you know what all this reminds me of what happened to Yokotani-sensei seventeen years ago," I said remembering.
He looked surprised, "What happened?"
"She was with her friend and they were walking this path when she got scared then her eyes and ears stopped working when her sight and hearing where back her friend was gone," I said copying my sensei words.
"Help me," a disembodied added a the end of my story.
"What was that?" I asked starting to become scared.
"A rip," Shoei pointed out.
I started to panic, "What does a rip have to do with anything?"
"Please move out of the way, Tachibana-san," he said putting a noh mask on and cutting through the rip, "Hihi no Oodachi!"
"Shoei-kun!" Rikuo screamed with a bandaged, scissored holding guy above him when the rip widened and Shoei and I fell through.
Oh, that what the rip was for.
"You cut through my illusion. Just who are you?" said guy asked.
"Sorry for making you wait Young master," Shoei apologized ignoring bandaged dude.
"Nura-san are you okay?" I asked rushing towards my friend.
"Fine Tachibana-san but, why are you here?" he asked.
"Uhm, I kinda sorta followed you two ,but, Kiyotsugu also asked me to check this place out," I said.
"Enough of this, I'll take your guys faces' too!" Bandaged man screeched catching my face in between his scissor blades.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed in terror when all of a sudden the scissors where gone and Shoei was between bandaged man.
"Th-thanks," I stuttered backing away
Suddenly Rikuo started to change. His brown hair turned black and white his eyes turned red and he grew taller.
"Your a yokai," the scissor man said in surprised.
"You two seem strong," he said," I'll show you the fear of Tooryanse."
He opened his cloak and revealed thousands of horrified faces and grabbed one of the faces crushing it causing it to scream. Suddenly his scissor change to something more claw like.
"That's right, fear me!" he screamed causing the faces fear that I didn't know was possible.
"Fear makes us stronger," he said smiling,"Isn't it? The strength of a yokai is measured on how much we're feared and spoken of. Like a ghost story or an urban legend in a Hundred Tales."
Rikuo froze clearly surprised, that's when Tooryanse attacked.
"Even the young ones will wander forever in my world!" he screeched attempting to cut Rikuo with his blades.
He dodged.
"You too?" he asked becoming serious, "Shoei, I'm going to matoi."
White smoke started to fill the air and cleared to reveal Rikuo wearing Shoei's cloak and holding a giant sword with a monkey like hand.
What?! How was any of this possible? I thought starting to have a small mental break down.
"Is your fear the real deal?" Rikuo asked striking Tooryanse causing him to dissolve.
"The dread you obtain from panic is only an aspect of fear," he told the dissolving Tooryanse.
Rikuo turned to me ," Tachibana-san are you okay?"
"A little mental trauma but, your a yokai, a freaking yokai," I said starting to freak out again.
"Yes, I am. I'm Nura, Rikuo-"
"Third head to the Nura clan a yokai clan that seems to be some sort of monarchy," I said interuppting him.
"How did you know that?" he asked both him and Shoei surprised.
Seeing there surprised looks I explained."I over heard you two earlier and I kinda pieced it all together."
"You do know you'll have to keep this a secret from everyone," Shoei said stepping into the conversation.
"I know, it's not like we all have secrets,but, when ever I come over to Nura-kun's house I wanna see the yokai," I said excited about seeing the yokai.
"Okay, there's really nothing I can do any how," Rikuo said leaving,"I'll need to tell Oji-san."
"Good bye, it's really late and Onee-chan'll be worried," I told them rushing towards the direction of my house.
! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*! #$%^&*!
Oh crap was all I could think when I got home. My house was on fire.
Half of my stinking house was in flames. The firemen where trying douse out the flames when one of them came over holding a piece of paper burned slightly. "From your sister luckily she wasn't in the fire,but, now we know what started it," he said handing it to me.
"Dear Sachi,
Guess what, my bake shop is in the International Bake Contest of the Countries. So I'll be gone for a few months. You can take care of yourself you're thirteen. The invitation got to our house late because the mailman couldn't find it. So I'm in a rush, Tempura's on the stove better take it of right away or the house will start on fire.
Love your sister,
Nanami."
Crap I thought after reading my sister's rushed letter, "That idiot started out house on fire."
"Tachibana-san, are you alright?" The newly named human Rikuo asked rushing over.
"I'm alright ,but, my stupid sister won't be when she get's back. I don't care if she was in a rush at least she could have enough stinking common sense not to leave the stove on when she doesn't know when I'll get home," I said fuming, "but, it's also kinda my fault for not being home on time.
"Do you have a place to stay?" human Rikuo asked.
"No, why?" I asked curious on what he was getting at.
"You can stay at my house," he said,"Oji-san's curious about the human who knows about yokai."
"Sure I'll stay," I said excited about staying in a house filled with yokai.
Rikuo smiled," Come on Tachibana-san."
"Then let's go!" I yelled rushing past him.
Life took an interesting turn for better or worst.
Hanako-san= a Japanes urban myth about the ghost of a little girl who commited suicide from being bullied who's said to stay in the fourth stall. It's said if you knock on the door and ask, "Are you here, Hanako-san?" then she'll respond if you open the door in some stories it's said she'll kill you.
Aka manto= It's said if you sit in the last stall in an empty bathroom a voice will ask "Red paper or blue paper?" if you respond red paper you'll be sliced apart until your clothes are stained red if you answer blue you'll be strangled until you turn blue if you attempt to respond with none of the choices he'll pull you to the netherworld the only way to survive is to say "No paper.
Tooryanse=Read chapters 138, 139, and 140 of Nurarihyon no mago.
Kuchisake-onna= A once beautiful woman unfaithfully married to a samurai. When he discovers her affair he slits her mouth from ear to ear with a katana and asks, "Who will think you'll beautiful now?" Children walking home will run into a woman wearing a surgical mask she will ask "Do you think I'm beautiful?" If they answer no she will kill them with a pair of scissors she carries if you answer yes she'll take off her mask revealing her mouth then she'll ask "Am I beautiful now?" If they answer no they will be cut in half if they answer yes she will slit there mouth like hers. It's impossible to run away because she will just appear in front of you again the only way to survive is to confuse by saying "Your average." or throwing candy both distracting her long enough to let you run away.
Teke teke= a vengeful spirit cut in half from an on going train carrying a scythe or a chainsaw. Her torso makes a teke teke sound when she drags it along. Any body who can't run away from her in time will be cut in half mimicking her.
Gozu= a cow head said to be so horrifying just hearing about it will kill you.
I'm trying new things with the time flow of the story. In this chapter I revealed Nanami's occupation as a baker.
Review please.
