Yo! This is Kamen Rider Super-Fan here with a new chapter of Hibiki! Also I'm gonna put in a narration like Asumu did in the Hibiki show just for the fun of it.
I do not own Kamen Rider Hibiki or Persona 4.
Hey name's Yu Narukami, during a camping trip years ago I met a man called Hibiki and he turns into an Oni to help people. He took me in as his pupil and after a few years of training I took up the mantle of Hibiki to fight against the Makamou. I moved to Yasoinaba due to my parents work and decided to protect the the rural town from Makamou but during the first day of school… there was a dead body on top of an antenna and it was upside down.
-Yu Narukami.
Beat 2: The Midnight Channel
(Dojima Residence: 4/12, Evening)
It's been a few hours since Yu's first day of school and a couple of hours since he defeated the Tsuchigumo. After Yu got home, thanks to the map app on his phone, he was greeted by Nanako and he went to his room to study a bit and worked out a bit, which was about 550 pushups and situps. Needless to say; when it was time to eat, Nanako came up to his room and she was pretty amazed that the gray haired teen was doing pushups with his fingers.
Now Yu and Nanako are watching TV, with the former having some tea while the little girl has some juice from a box with a straw.
"I wonder if Dad's not coming home again tonight…" Nanako wondered with a sad tone.
'Yup, she really is like me in a bunch of ways… except knowing about the Oni and Takeshi.' Yu thought, recalling the times he was home alone by himself years ago before meeting Hitoshi. The news suddenly came on and it caught Yu and Nanako's attention while the gray haired teen wondered if it was about the dead body earlier today.
"Our top story this evening concerns a bizarre case in a quiet suburb. Around noon today, a woman was found dead near the Samegawa River in Inaba." the Announcer said.
That just caught Yu's attention while a '!' appeared above his head before disappearing.
'So the word was spread huh?' Yu thought while the School Zone was being shown on TV. Could this be the incident he heard about?
"The deceased has been identified as Ms. Mayumi Yamano, a 27-year-old announcer at the local television station." the Announcer explained as an image of the second woman on TV yesterday is shown. "The initial results of the Inaba Police Departments investigation have revealed…"
"Ah! The Inaba Police Department! Th-That's where Dad works!" Nanako exclaimed in surprise. She also obtained a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, it'll be alright. I can tell your Dad's a tough-looking guy, so I'm sure he'll come home safe and unharmed." Yu assured after he noticed the look.
"…I know. That's his job, so stuff like this happens." Nanako said.
Yu turned his attention back to the TV.
"The body was found hanging from a large televison antenna atop a local resident's roof. Authorities are uncertain as to why the body was in such a state. With the cause of death also uncertain, police continue to investigate whether the death is an accident or a homicide." the announcer continued.
'With something like that, there's no way it could be an accident.' Yu thought.
"A thick fog common to the area has slowed their progress and plans to full canvass the area are delayed until tomorrow." the announcer finished until the screen showed another image.
'Seems that Mayumi Yamano was found dead near Yasogami High's Campus. Her affair with Taro Namatame had been on the news just yesterday.' Yu thought.
"They found her on the roof?" Nanako questioned.
"Yeah. I should know because some ladies were gossiping about it." Yu answered.
"That's scary…" Nanako uttered before a Junes commercial came on, which caught her attention. "Oh, it's Junes!"
"At Junes, everyday is Customer Appreciation Day. Come see for yourself, and get in touch with our product! Everyday is great at your Junes~!" the commercial said.
"Everyday is great as your Junes~!" Nanako sang along before she looked at her cousin expectantly.
'She really likes that song…' Yu smiled at that before he decided to sing along. "You like that song?"
"Hee-hee! I'm the best one in my class!" Nanako smiled. She sang it to herself over and over again.
'Seems that she forgot about the scary stuff on the news. Proves that she's still an innocent kid.' Yu thought.
(Next Day: Wed 4/13-Early Morning)
Yu quietly walked along the path to school as everything seemed to be going smoothly this morning. He has sent a few of his Disk Animals out in the woods to keep an eye out for any Makamou that might cause trouble around the town.
'Hopefully, I can enjoy the day all to myself without any Makamou activity happening.' Yu let out a yawn as he heard the sound of wheels coming from behind him. Turning his head, he briefly looked at the speeding yellow bicycle that immediately shot by him and then crashed into one of the nearby garbage cans. 'What the...?' he blinked.
Yu walked over to the trash cans and saw the guy was stuck in one of them, rolling around back and forth while kicking his legs.
"S-Somone..." he pleaded.
'This guy...' Yu began as he finally recognized him. 'Isn't he the one who accidentally broke Chie's movie disk and then got kicked in the groin?' It was clear to him that this is the same guy because of his voice and he caught a brief glance at his shaggy brown hair. 'Anyway, I oughta help him out of there.'
When Yu helped the boy out of the garbage he immediately got up and picked up his bike.
"Whew, you saved me." he breathed in relief. "Thanks!"
"It was the least I could do." Yu said.
"Oh yeah, that's right!" the brown haired teen said, realizing who he is now. "You're that transfer student!"
"Yu Narukami..." the gray haired teen introduced.
"I'm Yosuke Hanamura, nice to meet ya." Yosuke said.
"It's nice to meet you, too. Anyway, are you sure you're okay?" Yu asked somewhat curious about his wellbeing.
"Oh yeah, yeah...I'm fine." Yosuke shrugged off. "Say did you hear about the incident from yesterday?"
"The one about Ms. Yamano being found dead on a television station, right? Yeah, I heard it."
"Yeah, she was found dead on one of the antennas. You think it may be some kinda warning? I mean, there's no way something like that could've been an accident."
'For all I know, it could've been an accident. Yet again, Hitoshi-san told me accidents never really happen as they're just part of one's destiny in life.' Yu thought, reminiscing what his teacher had told him. "You could be right."
"Dangling a dead body over a roof life that...That's just messed up. Then again, it's pretty messed up to kill someone in the first place." Yosuke said.
"Ain't that true..." Yu mumbled.
"Oh crap, we're going to be late!" Yosuke exclaimed. "You wanna ride? It's a little squeaky, but it should be fine."
'Considering the damage that bike took and fact there's nothing for me to hang onto, I would have to pass. Although, I have a sweet ride already, but it's back home.' Yu thought before shaking his head. "No thanks, I'll just walk. Besides, I'm a real fast runner so I'll get there in time."
"Alright then, I'll see ya in class!" Yosuke said before speeding off again.
"I wonder if he'll crash again...?" Yu wondered aloud.
(Yasogami High-After School)
Yu let out a tiresome sigh as he survived a whole day of being stuck in the same room with King Moron. Seriously, how that guy became a teacher is well beyond his knowledge. Well at least the day went by fast, so that was something to be thankful for.
"So you getting used to this place?" Yosuke asked.
"I am." nodded Yu.
"Wow, that was fast."
"I quickly adapt to things real easily. Besides, I've spent most of my free time camping being out in the wilderness, so this is nothing." Yu said with a half truth/ half lie knowing most of those times he was either training with Hitoshi and hunting for Makamou.
"Makes sense. That's one of the things people like todo around here sometimes. Although not a lot of people go camping these day, because we're always near the wild here." Yosuke said. "There isn't much to do here compared to the big city, but there is that certain...something you can't get anywhere else. The air's clean, the food's great...Oh, you know about the local delicacy?"
Before he could say anything else, Yosuke beat him to the punch.
"It's grilled steak, man! Like anything that's special, huh?"
'Unless if the people here love meat. Then… maybe.' Yu thought.
"I know a place where you can get it cheap. Wanna come? You helped me out this morning, so it's on me." Yosuke offered.
"Sure. I haven't seen much of this town anyway." Yu accepted before Chie came up to the two.
"What about me, huh? No apologies? My "Trail of the Dragon"." Chie reminded.
"Urgh… You always come around when I'm talking about food." Yosuke groaned.
"Well you do owe her for her disk." Yu pointed out.
"See? Even he agrees." Chie said before looking at Yukiko. "How about it, Yukiko? Don't you think he should treat us too?" she asked her friend, which caught Yosuke's attention.
Yukiko got up from her desk.
"I'll pass… I don't want to gain any more weight. I need to help at the inn today anyway." Yukiko said.
"Wow, Yukiko-san! You started training to take over the buisness?" Yosuke said.
'She said help not train.' Yu thought.
"It's not like that! I'm just helping when it gets busy." Yukiko denied.
'You're not the only one who gets busy with stuff that relates to work.' Yu thought.
"Well, I should be on my way." Yukiko left the classroom.
"Oh well. We should get going too." Chie said.
"Huh? Do I seriously have to treat two people…?" Yosuke said.
'Looks like it.' Yu mentally remarked.
(Junes-Food court)
'Never thought he'd treat me at the Junes department store.' Yu thought as Yosuke came back with a tray of drinks.
"THIS is the cheap place you were talking about...?" Chie frowned actually expecting this 'cheap place' to be somewhere else not Junes and its food department. "They don't have grilled steak here!"
"Yeah well, once you hopped on the free loader train, I had to make a change of plans." Yosuke said as he sat down in one of the chairs.
"Still, that's no reason to take us to your place." Chie retorted.
"It's not my place or anything."
"Huh?" Yu blinked. "What are you two talking about?"
"Oh right, I haven't told you yet." Yosuke began. "I also moved here from another city about six months back. This location had just opened up, and my dad was assigned to be the manager. So our entire family came out here."
"I see."
"Well anyway here...this is to welcome you to the town." Yosuke said, offering a drink to the gray haired teen.
"Thanks." Yu said, taking the drink.
"Satonaka, yours is on me too."
"Yeah, I know..." Chie huffed before taking her drink."
"Cheers." they all said before taking a sip.
"It's only been half a year since this place opened up, but I haven't been to the local shopping district lately." Chie began. "A lot of the stores there started closing, and...Oh, uh..."
"You can't blame it all on Junes, can you? Yosuke asked with a heavy sigh that came afterwards.
'Is this place really that popular that some of the stores here are closing. Must be one heck of a business.' Yu thought before they spotted someone sitting near one of the tables.
"Hey, it's Saki-sempai." Ysouke realized before standing from his seat. "Sorry, I'll be right back."
"Is she your girlfriend?" Yu curiously asked.
"He wishes...!" Chie laughed with a playful smirk. Yosuke then walked over to her. "That's Saki Konishi. Her family runs the liquor store in the shopping district. She works here part-time, though."
'Probably is helping her family raising money, while working here and over there too.' Yu deduced. It makes sense because Junes seems to a really popular place around here if it's causing other stores to close.
Yosuke walked up to Saki.
"Hey, how's it going? You look beat." Yosuke noticed.
"Heeey! I'm finally on break…" Saki started. "What's up Hana-chan? Boosting the family business by bringing your friends here?"
'Hana-chan?' Yu blinked.
"Madam, you wound me." the dyed haired teen said playfully. "Kidding aside… you look down. Did something happen?"
"…It's nothing. I'm just a little tired." Saki sighed.
"Hey, if you need to talk, I'm always willing to listen, I…" Yosuke started, not knowing what else to say.
"I'm okay." Saki chuckled. "Thanks, though." she then looked down. "Why'd I leave school early yesterday?" she sighed, which confused Yosuke but it caught Yu's attention since he was listening.
'Yesterday?' Yu thought before remembering that the ladies that were gossiping about the dead body said something about someone finding the body. 'Did she leave school to get to her job early but she found the dead body?'
"Hey… is he the kid who transferred here?" Saki asked after noticing Yu. She then got up and walked up to the gray haired teen and Yosuke followed. "Are you the transfer student?"
"Yeah." Yu nodded. "Name's Yu Narukami. Nice to meet you Sempai."
"Oh, did you hear about me already?" Saki remarked. "It must be nice to have someone else from the big city to talk to, huh?"
"Yeah. I may be from Tokyo, but I also go camping from time to time." Yu said.
"I see. I don't see Hana-chan hanging out with other guys much." Saki said.
"Uh… Not necessarily…" Yosuke said.
"He doesn't have too many friends, so I hope you two get along good." Saki said.
"Don't worry. We're already getting along." Yu said.
"Good, because Hana-chan's a good guy, but he can get nosy sometimes. You gotta tell him right to his face when he starts to annoy you." Saki told him.
"I'll keep that in mind. But to be honest, he's actually a good guy." Yu said.
"Ahaha, I know… I'm just kidding." Saki laughed.
"C-C'mon, sempai...There's no need to worry about stuff like that." Yosuke said.
"Well my break is just about over, back to work I go...Laters!" Saki said before leaving.
"Oh uh, sempai...!" Yosuke tried calling out to her obviously wanting to say something, but she was too far away. He then slumped in his seat letting out a sigh. "Hahaha...Saki-sempai says I'm annoying, but she's even noisier than I am."
'So he admits it...' Yu thought.
"She has a younger brother, and treats me pretty much the same way..." Yosuke said.
"Ohhh, you don't want her treating you like a brother, huh? So that's how it is." Chie grinned understanding what the brown haired teen really wants from the brunette.
"He pretty much stated that he likes her through his actions." Yu added.
"The daughter of a local family-run liquor store and the scion of the invading chain...Hoho, the flame of forbidden love!" At this point, Yu couldn't help but sweat dropped when Chie recited the other boy's own love life situation, like it was something out of Romeo and Juliet.
"Wha-!? Dude, it's not like that." Yosuke blushed.
'Then why are you blushing?' Yu couldn't help but find this amusing as a grin formed on his lips.
"Oh really..." Chie continued to teasingly grin. "Well, I know just the thing to cheer up that lovesick heart. You ever hear of the Midnight Channel?"
"Midnight Channel...?" blinked Yu.
"It's something that you're supposed to do when you have a TV. You look at the screen, which has to be off by the way, and be alone at midnight when it rains. As you stare at your own image, another person will appear on the screen...And they say that person is your soulmate."
"What? For a second, I actually thought you were going to say something useful. How can you get excited over a childish urban legend like that?" Yosuke brushed off, not believing something like that can actually happen."
'You may never know.' Yu began in thought. When he first became an Oni, he started to believe in other worldly stuff such as the Makamou and possibly another realm that contains more of them. 'There are many things in the world people don't know about.'
"Childish, huh? You don't believe it, do you!?" Chie frowned.
'Well then again, even if you do know something exist you do need evidence to prove its existence. Plus, skepticism is healthy too, although it can be a real pain...' Yu continued briefly ignoring their conversation.
"Of course, I don't." he told her.
"Well it's raining tonight! Let's all try it out, and then you'll see!" the brunette challenged.
"Try it out...? Wait, you haven't even tried it yourself!?" Yosuke gaped then quickly regained his composure. "Wow, I'm really trying to remember when I heard something this stupid..."
"And there's the skepticism." Yu silently said under his breath.
"All that aside…" Yosuke started, deciding to change the subject. "You know about that 'incident' yesterday? You guys think it's murder?"
'Who knows. But I doubt that it's not an accident either.' Yu thought.
"Ooh, what if the culprit behind it was still lurking around…? Heehee…" Yosuke grinned playfully.
"Sheesh, you shouldn't joke around with stuff like that. Now who's the childish one…?" Chie said.
'Yosuke's being childish now.' Yu thought.
"All I'm saying is, you guys better try it out tonight." she said.
'Why me?' Yu thought. But the rumor about the Midnight Channel does sound funny to him. 'Maybe I should try it tonight.'
(Dojima Residence-Evening-Rainy)
Yu was once again having another dinner alone with Nanako while the TV was on. When he got home, he did some studying and did at least 300 pushups while standing on his hands. Yu got bored so he now decided to strike a conversation with his cousin.
"Did your father call?" Yu asked, while feeling a bit concerned on how lonely Nanako is.
"No. He always says he will…" Nanako said.
'Yeah. A bunch of grownups are busy these days.' Yu thought before the sound of the door opening was heard.
"Oh! He's home!" Nanako said, sounding happy as she stood up and Dojima walked into the living room.
"What a day…" Dojima started. "I'm back. Did anything happen while I was out?"
'Well if you're me; training and hanging with new friends.' Yu thought.
"No. You're late again…" Nanako said.
"I'm sorry, been busy at work." Dojima apologized.
"These things happen." Yu said as his uncle sat down on the couch.
"Yeah." Dojima agreed before looking at Nanako. "Can you put on the news for me?" he requested.
They quietly listened to the news.
"Next, more information in the developing story on the incident in foggy Inaba." the announcer began. "Announcer, Miss Mayumi Yamano's dead body was found hanging above a house in this isolated rural town."
'Really can't help but think that this announcer is just using this rip off the town.' Yu absentmindedly frowned as he continued to listen.
"It is confirmed that Ms. Yamano has been involved in an affair with Taro Namatame, husband of enka singer Misuzu Hiiragi..."
'Is this lovers' quarrel really tied to what happened to the announcer...? No, that can't be it.' Yu reasoned in his thoughts. 'If that were the case, then it's pointless to hang someone from a pole. Actually, it's impossible for a regular person to do something like that and not get caught unless you're a person who's been training for years, or possible not human. Either way, seems to fall in between them somewhere. More importantly, should Nanako really be hearing things like affair?'
"The police plan to investigate this relationship and question any personnel involved with them. In addition, we now bring you an exclusive interview with the local student who found Ms. Yamano's body." the announcer said.
"Sigh. An interview with a kid...? Where the hell they did they find her?" Dojima yawned not having nearly enough energy to complain.
Yu looked at the screen as it changed to rather a familiar figure of a certain female student.
'It's her...!' Yu gaped but then quickly hid it so that his uncle wouldn't see.
"What went through your mind when you found the body? Could you tell she was dead? Did you see her face?" a reporter frantically piled the poor girl with questions.
"U-Umm..." the female student stuttered.
'What's with this guy...? She's just found a dead body for crying out loud.' Yu really had to wonder if these people care too much about fame, they tend to forget everything logical and reasonable. However, aside from that, the female student's body figure was a dead give away...it had to be Saki Konishi. Although they did change her voice to protect her identity.
"Don't you think it was scary that someone was killed on a foggy day?" the reporter asked.
"Huh...? She was killed?" Saki questioned.
"Oh, uh...?" Yu secretly grinned knowing the reporter is getting what he deserves. "So did you see anyone suspicious around here?"
"No, not really."
"We heard that you found it when you left school early. Did you have some personal business to take care of...?"
"That's..."
Yu didn't know how much longer he could watch this. The reporter is doing nothing than confusing Saki with all of these questions. When the news had finally changed topics, Yu couldn't help but inwardly sigh in relief. He could only imagine what Saki must have been feeling during the time. Next, the announcer gave a report of store owners are raising their concerns about losing customers due to the incident of finding the announcer's body.
"Hmph. If they lose more customers, it'll be because you're making such a stink about it." Dojima huffed obviously not agreeing with how much of a hassle they're making the incident, especially in the town. Yu was the same boat with his uncle on this one.
Soon the Commentator appeared on the screen talking about the case even more, starting to question how bizarre it must be and then describing how Ms. Yamano's body was upside down from the antenna. The announcer agreed guessing that it has to be a warning or a sign from the culprit, but then stated that no one is taking credit of the crime.
Yu honestly couldn't believe how dumb these people are. If they were actually using their heads, they'd know it'd be impossible to hang someone in that position. Plus, it seems that a mere lovers' quarrel wouldn't be able to go that far into murder, though there has been cases however this is one is just way too odd. He hadn't heard back from his Disk Animals, so it couldn't have been anything Makamou related. And if it's not Mamakou related, then it isn't any of his concern.
Dojima had commented something about prank calls when the Commentator went on about how the cause of the death was still unknown, and not having any suspect yet to the police's investigation on the matter. He even made of the police officers by stating that taxpayers are wasting their money to an organized group, who can't figure out if this is an accident or homicide.
The policeman of the house seemed to have dozed off.
Yu then heard the Junes commercial go on and Nanako singing along to the theme song.
"Hey Dad...can we go to Junes together sometime?" the little girl asked only to hear the snores of her father.
"Poor guy is tired out." Yu commented. "I bet it must be like this every time he comes in late.
"Yeah..."
"Alright, I'll get him to bed."
"Thanks. I'm too small to carry him myself." Nanako said.
Yu nodded before carrying the older man with ease.
(Yu's Room)
Yu sat on his couch while he was spinning his Disk Animals on the Onsa Onkaku. So far and luckily there was no Makamou, which makes it good since there won't be any people in danger and he won't worry his cousin and uncle.
"That should do it…" Yu said before whiping his Disk Animals with a cloth, since it's raining outside. Speaking of rain, he can hear it outside and it's almost midnight.
'So if I look into the TV at midnight while it was raining, I'll see my soulmate huh?' Yu thought, recalling on what Chie said to him.
(Somewhere else)
The hooded figure who was spying on Yu yesterday is in a warehouse playing with an Onsa Onkaku, meaning that he's an Oni and staring at the digital clock; waiting for the Midnight Channel to come on.
"Now let's see if what Dark Decade said was true about this." the hooded figure said before looking at the flat screen TV; after he noticed that it's almost midnight.
(With Yu)
'Almost midnight…' Yu thought before standing up from the couch and walking in front of his tiny TV. 'Let's see if Chie's story is true.' he waited for a few seconds and it didn't turn on. 'Guess not.' he thought and he was about to go to bed before… the TV started to turn on.
"What the…?" Yu said before looking at the TV and it showed some static and it was flashing a scene where it looks like a girl was being attacked. 'That girl looks familiar…'
Yu stared at the TV and some lightning was heard outside.
"I am thou…" Yu heard a voice in his head and he obtained a headache.
"What the…?" Yu uttered while holding his head.
"Thou art I… Thou art the one… who opens the door." the voice said inside Yu's head while the gray haired teen felt pain even more.
Yu fell to his knees while he was gasping for air.
"What…the hell… was that?" he gasped before standing up in front of the TV and he noticed that it was past midnight now. He stood up and walked a couple more feet in front of the TV. 'Just what was that video about anyway?' he thought before touching the screen with his index finger, but to his surprise; it started to show circles when people touch water but it was white.
'What in the world…?' Yu thought. 'I wonder what happens when I put my hand in there?' he mentally questioned before he stuck his hand in the TV screen… literally. Yu blinked at this predicament as he felt that something inside his own TV, as crazy as it sounds, was trying to pull him before he managed to break free resulting in falling on his behind while bumbling his head hard against the table.
"Geez, that really hurt." Yu winced before hearing Nanako's voice.
"Are you okay...?"
"I am. Sorry about that, did I wake you up?" Yu asked knowing his cousin needs to sleep in this time of night.
"I heard a really loud noise." she replied. "Well, good night."
"Yeah, night..."
'What happened?' the gray haired teen questioned in thought, looking at his television. 'I'll have to tell the others about this tomorrow, and see if they experienced the same thing too.'
(Next Day)
Yu calmly walked to school with his umbrella as the rain poured down. He couldn't get his mind off what happened with the TV yesterday, especially hearing that voice. What 'truth' is he supposed to find? There was so many things going on he doubts this is anything Oni related.
"Perfect timing!" He turned to look at Chie, who was running towards him as she got underneath his umbrella. "Sorry about this, but can you move over...?"
"Uh, sure..." he nodded, lightly stepping to the side. "You didn't bring an umbrella with you?"
"I did have my own, but I saw this kung fu movie where they used an umbrella to pull off some sweet moves. And...I accidentally broke mine trying to imitate the movie." Yu couldn't help but sweat drop at this.
'I'm starting to wonder if she even has any fighting style to her, or at least even has a level of combat.' he thought to himself knowing if he were to say this out loud to her, he would suffer the consequences of a woman.
"By the way...did you see it?" Chie asked, referring to the Midnight Channel.
"I did..."
"I knew it." Chie said as she looked distant. "But the person it showed..." At this she seemed a little troubled by whoever the silhouette of that girl was. "Never mind. I'll save it for when the others are around. We're gonna be late for school."
"Yeah." agreed Yu. They begin to walk together only taking about five steps forward, until Chie spoke up.
"Oh, umm..." she began. "It's kinda awkward to only bring this up now, but we're pretty close here...I'm just gonna go ahead and run the rest of the way!"
"You'll catch a cold if you do that." Yu told her.
"Oh right...good point. If I caught a cold, it spread...and that would totally suck for everyone!" Chie realized. "Yeah, I'll keep going with you." She laughed as they continued their walk to school.
(Yasogami High-After School)
Yu was packing up his things after Kimiko Sofue's history class, which relates to the year of Jesus Christ's birth and the question was about was the year before 1 AD, she called up to the gray haired Oni and the correct answer was 1 BC.
"What's with the body being hung upside-down? That's so freaky!" a short girl student said to her friend.
'Honestly, I agree with you. Because it's the first time I've heard about something like this.' Yu mentally agreed, after overhearing her.
"Is it supposed to be like, mimicking an execution? It's messed up…" another girl student said.
'Not as messed up as eating people, that's for sure.' Yu thought, referring to the Makamou.
"My senpai told me it was a third-year named Saki who found the body." the first girl told her friend.
'Can't agree with you more. After all, I saw her on TV and it was obvious.' Yu mentally remarked before Yosuke came up to him.
"Y-Yo. Um…" Yosuke stuttered.
"Is something wrong?" Yu asked, noticing the look on Yosuke's face.
"It's, uh, it's not really that important but…" Yosuke started. "Well, yesterday on TV, I…"
'Yup, he saw Saki on TV too; but it looks like he's having trouble on finding the right words.' Yu thought.
"Never mind. Look, I'll tell you about it later." Yosuke nervously laughed.
Chie walked up towards the two boys.
"Yosuke, did you hear the rumor?" Chie asked him. "Saki-senpai's supposedly the one who discovered that body."
"Yeah. It's actually obvious to me though." Yu said, gaining their attention.
"What makes you say that?" Chie asked.
"Well we both noticed that yesterday she was feeling down and when she said 'Why'd I leave school early yesterday?' so I thought that she left the day before yesterday early to go to her job but she found the body. When she was on TV, I noticed by her body, it proved that I was right when that announcer tried to do an interview with her." Yu explained.
"Really...? Wow, I guess you're really observant." Chie complimented.
"Thanks. It's something I need to do at times." Yu said.
"So that's why she looked so down, because she discovered that announcer's body. Probably explains why she isn't at school." Yosuke said, figuring that had to be the reason.
Yukiko then stood up from her seat causing the the tomboy to look at her.
"Huh?" blinked Chie. "Hey Yukiko, are you helping out at the Inn today too?"
"Things are really out of hand right now...I'm sorry." Yukiko frowned then headed for the door leaving the room.
"Is it just me, or does Yukiko-san seem way stressed out today?" questioned Yosuke.
"I guess they're running her ragged." Chie said. "By the way...do you see 'it' last night?"
"You just say the Midnight Channel." spoke Yu. "It's not like a big total secret or anything."
"He does have a point." Yosuke said. "Anyway, what about you?"
"I did! I seriously saw a girl!" Chie told them. "But...my soulmate's a girl? What's that supposed to mean?"
Yu and Yosuke stayed quite knowing they shouldn't comment on this.
"I couldn't tell who it was, but it was for sure a girl. Her hair was brown about shoulder length, wore our school uniform, and..." Yosuke interjected adding in his two cents.
"I think that's the same person I saw." he said. "I couldn't make that much detail, though. The image I saw was much blurrier."
"Wait, you saw it too? And we saw the same girl...? Does that mean, we have the same soulmate?" Chie asked.
Yu sweat dropped at this before thinking about what was just said so far. If they all saw the same person, no doubt there was something else going on around here. However this is something out of his expertise as an Oni, so he couldn't base this on anything yet.
"I don't know..." Yosuke answered before looking at Yu. "What you, did you see it?"
"Yeah, I saw it." answered Yu. "And like you two, I also saw the same girl as well. Although, like Yosuke, I wasn't able to make out any details either. But I'm pretty sure it was the same person all of us had seen. Afterwards, I heard this weird voice that spoke to me about 'finding the truth'. What's more, is that when I put my hand on the TV, it was actually getting sucked in. Luckily my television was too small for me to fit, and with a little bit of muscle power I pulled myself out."
"It looks we all saw the same person." Yosuke awed before shaking his head changing the subject. "Weird voices aside, what was that about you getting sucked into your TV? Were you that tired last night? You must've just fallen asleep in front of your TV."
"That'd be one interesting dream, though." Chie smiled. "I like the part where got stuck because your TV was too small. That's pretty realistic."
'It is realistic…' the gray haired teen thought.
"If it had been bigger…" Chie started before getting an idea. "Oh, that reminds me. Our family's been talking about buying a bigger TV."
"Oh yeah? Well, flatscreen TVs are definitely in these days." Yosuke commented. "Wanna go check 'em out on the way back? We're beefing up our electronics department this month."
"Oh, definitely! My parents don't know anything about electronics and I've just gotta see my kung-fu movies on the big screen! Hwa-taa!" Chie exclaimed while doing a kung-fu pose.
'I can possibly observe on what I saw last night.' Yu thought while Yosuke sweatdropped.
"We've got some pretty big ones in stock. I bet they'd be big enough for you to fit in." Yosuke joked.
'Trust me, it will be.' Yu thought, deciding to go since they don't believe him.
(Junes, Electronics department)
"Wow, this is huge!" Chie exclaimed as the three were in front of a big flatscreen TV. "And… Holy crap, it's expensive! Who buys something like this?"
"I dunno… Rich folks?" Yosuke guessed. "Honestly, not many people shop for TVs here. That's why we don't have clerks around."
'Yeah, I could tell by the lack of people.' Yu mentally remarked.
"Huh… Not worth trying then, I guess. Well, at least looking's free." Chie said.
'Looking is always free in stores.' Yu thought.
Chie and Yosuke walked towards the TV before they touched it and gently pushed it, then taking their hands off of it.
"Nope, can't get in. Figures." Yosuke said.
"This proves it. It was all just a dream." Chie smiled knowing something like entering a TV would be impossible.
"Besides, these flat screen TVs are so thin, you'd just end up on the other side..." Yosuke stated before shaking his head. "Argh, what am I saying!?"
'Of course, they didn't experience the same thing I did, so it's no wonder why they can enter the television screen.' Yu knowing thought. It was obvious because back at the school and even now they're just brushing it off as one crazy dream, which wasn't the case. He knew it had to be that mysterious voice that spoke to him, who had to be behind this new power he gained to enter a TV. Safe to say, it was quite interesting but very useless in combat against Makamou, however it does make a good exit getaway. That's the only use he can see for this ability.
"So Chie, what are you guys in the market for?" Yosuke asked.
"They said they wanted one that's cheap. Got any suggestions?" Chie told him.
"There are some cheap ones over here." Yosuke told her before leading her to another pile of TV sets. "Well, Miss, might I suggest this one over here? It's the newest model just released this spring..."
'Is he seriously trying to sound like a businessman?' Yu sweat dropped.
"Wha-that's not cheap at all! There's way too many zeroes!" Chie comically yelled.
"I should've asked what you meant by "cheap" right off the bat." the headphone wearing teen said.
'No, you did not. It's obvious cheap means something that doesn't have any zeroes expect one or possibly two.' Yu scolded in thought knowing exactly what Chie meant by the word "cheap" and what she was looking for.
"You've got connections, right? C'mon, hook me up!" she grinned.
"You know I can't do that..." Yosuke said knowing he'd get in trouble with his dad if he did something like helping a friend getting an expensive TV for a cheap price, since that would soon reach the ears of other people. That wouldn't be good for the company. "Hey, how about this one over here? It's a display unit and a little old, but..."
Yu sighed before looking at the TV in front of him. It was more than big enough for him to go inside. If this works out, then maybe he'll find the answers to what happened to him last night and learn what's been going on. Taking a step in front of the TV, Yu put his hand on the screen before it sank inside until ripples occurred like water.
'It worked.' Yu thought, serious.
"Oh yeah, Narukami, what kind of TV do you-" Yosuke started but was shocked to see what Yu is doing.
"Huh? Something wrong Yosuke?" Chie asked before she looked at Yu and was shocked that his state.
"I-Is his arm… in the TV…?" Yosuke uttered with a sweatdrop
"Whoa…" Chie started. "Uh… Is that some kinda… new model? L-Like with a new function?"
"Hell no!" Yosuke exclaimed.
'He's right. What kind of TV would even allow a person to stick their hand in the screen.' Yu thought before his two friends ran towards him.
"You gotta be kidding me…" Chie uttered. "Did you really stick your hand through the screen?"
"Yeah." Yu calmly said.
"Oh man… This is for real… That's some magic trick, man!" Yosuke exclaimed. "So how's it work, huh!? What's the magician's secret!?"
"I'm no magician, even if I was I wouldn't tell you since magicians never reveal their secret." Yu said, understanding that they're astonished. "I wonder if I can stick my head in there." he wondered before he got closer to the TV and LITERALLY did it.
"H-Hey, don't do that! What're you doing!?" Yosuke exclaimed, shocked.
"Oh my God!" Chie exclaimed.
"Wow, this TV has an inside and there's an empty space." Yu told them.
"Wh-What do you mean, 'inside'!?" Yosuke questioned.
"Wh-What do you mean, 'empty space'!?" Chie added.
"It's just as it sounds and it's actually very, very spacious in here." Yu observed.
"What do you mean "spacious"!?"
"I mean, what's going on!?" Chie exclaimed.
"Holy crap...I-I think this is all too much for my bladder...!"
"What the-! Are you going to pee your pants!?"
"I've been holding it in all day! I-I haven't had chance to go...!" Yosuke frantically told her, lightly jumping up and down trying to hold his bladder in. It was getting really difficult for him to do, and there was no way that was gonna go in his pants inside the store! "Aaarrrgh! Can't...hold it...any more...!" With that he quickly ran to find a bathroom. However that didn't last very long as he came running back to them. "Shit! Customers! They're coming!"
"What!? But we've got a guy half stuck in the TV here!" Chie exclaimed.
"I'm not stuck." Yu said.
"Wh-What are we going to do!?" His words apparently didn't reach them as they were still panicking. He could have sworn he heard them running around back and forth, until he felt them push him inside the TV along with themselves.
(Unknown Location)
Yu landed on his feet while Yosuke and Chie had fallen on the ground. It was a rough landing but at least they were alright.
"Ow! I landed on right on my wallet..." Yosuke said, rubbing his behind.
"Man, where the heck are we?" Chie questioned seeming to have recovered from her fall. "What is this place? Somewhere inside Junes...?"
"Hell no it isn't...we fell through a TV." Yosuke told her. "Actually, what is going on here?"
"I don't know." Yu began.
"Y-Yeah, good idea..." Yosuke agreed.
"So uh...we're still alive, right?" Chie asked sounding frightened.
"Are you guy's okay?" asked Yu.
"I think my butt's cracked now..." Yosuke winced.
"Whoa!" Yosuke realized something.
"What is it? Did you already wet your pants...?" Chie backed away. She didn't want to be anywhere near Yosuke if he did something as disgusting as that.
"No, stupid! Look around!" They scanned their current surroundings and took notice that the area that they're is a studio of some sorts.
"Is this...a studio?" pondered Chie. "All this fog...or is it smoke? There's no place like this in Inaba, is there?"
"Hell no..." replied Yosuke. "But man, this place is huge..."
"You're right." nodded Yu. 'Is this really smoke...no, it can't be. Smoke usually doesn't last this long. So my only guess that all of this is fog. But...how is that possible?'
"What are we gonna do?" asked Chie.
"Let's take a look around." the gray hair teen suggested.
"Huh...? B-But..." Chie stammered before changing the subject. "Look, we need to get home and..." Pausing in the middle of her sentence, she looked around trying to find an exit only to see that there isn't one. "Wait a minute...Which way did we come in from?"
"Don't you guys remember? We fell from above..." Yu said looking up at the sky only to see nothing but the fog. "I'm guessing we won't be able to leave this place, until we find another TV of sorts."
"Alright. Good plan…" Yosuke complimented.
'It was actually obvious.' Yu thought.
"If there's no TV then we're trapped here, so let's cross our fingers and look around like Narukami said." Yosuke said.
The three teens have been walking around for a while and they stopped, deciding to take a break.
"What is this place…?" Chie started. "It feels different from where we were before…"
"It looks like we're in some kinda building, but…" Yosuke looked around a bit. "Damn, this fog's so thick, I can hardly see."
"Are you sure we're not just wondering farther away?" Chie asked.
"I can't be positive, but we've just gotta trust our instinct a little." Yosuke said.
"I know, but…"
"Let's go. It's obvious that we have no choice except to continue walking forward." Yu advised.
"Alright." Yosuke nodded before he and Yu continued walking with a panicky Chie following them.
Yu and Yosuke walked into some sort of bedroom, they stopped for a moment to notice one important detail.
"Hey, is it me or if the fog lighter in here?" Yosuke noticed.
"Yeah." Yu nodded before Yosuke took out his cellphone.
"No service. What a surprise…"
'Actually, it's quite obvious that there would be no phone service since we're practically in another world via the TV.' Yu thought.
"Can't you guys slow down a little? It's hard enough to where you're going…" Chie complained as she caught up to the two boys, who just realized that they were in some sort of appartment bedroom.
"Huh? What the...!?" They all examined the room. "It's a dead end! There's no exit!"
"It keeps getting creepier and creepier the further we go..." Yosuke said making the gray haired teen nod.
"I'm just wondering if someone actually lives here in this place." Yu plainly said.
"Don't say that! Or else, if someone does actually live here, then we're all dead when that person does come!" Chie frantically panicked.
"I'm a pretty good fighter, so I'm positive that I can hold my own against whoever resides in this room." he assured. If someone does live here and ends up being a regular human being, then he shouldn't have no problems against fighting normal a person since he was trained by the best. Not to mention fighting Makamou comes in handy, too.
"Argh! I can't hold it in any longer...!" Yosuke cried, frantically moving around as he was losing the battle to hold in his natural urges to go to the bathroom. "My bladder's gonna explode...!" He then ran to one of the corner walls, unzipping his pants getting ready to do his business.
"Yosuke!?" cried Chie. "What are you doing...!?"
"I gotta let it out before I piss my pants!" he told her before trying to go. "Turn around! I can't go if everyone is watching...!"
"But we're the only ones here..." stated Yu.
"That still doesn't make it better!"
"Just trying to help."
"Well unfortunately, it's not working!" Yosuke shot back before letting out an irritated sigh. "It's not working! I can't do it...!" He then shot a glance at Chie, who only frowned at him. "It's all your fault if my bladder bursts!"
"Like I care..." Chie said before taking another glance at the room. "Anyway, what's with this room? Check out these posters...their faces are all cut out. Someone must really hate this person..."
"You got that right." nodded Yu, observing the posters. "Although these posters do look somewhat familiar. I wonder if we've seen them somewhere before?"
"Who knows?" replied Chie.
Yosuke then walked over to the chair and rope not liking this particular part of the room.
"Dude...that chair and rope." he gulped feeling a cold sweat run down his forehead. "That kind of arraignment is never a good sign."
"Is that a scarf?" questioned Yu, pointing to the scarf.
"I think so..."
"Come on, let's get out of here already! How about we go back to where we came from and look for an exit somewhere else..." Chie suggested making them nod as they were about to leave the room.
Yu had to be honest with himself for a moment, he was actually glad that Chie made the call of getting out of this room. His battle instincts, for some reason, were screaming at him to get out of this room as soon as possible not liking the evil vibe it gave off. Granted he would still be alright if a person were to come, or perhaps something else since this place doesn't seem like a place where a regular human being would live. And if that were true, he'd have to resort to transforming in front of his friends revealing his identity as an Oni.
"You did bring up a good point about these posters, Narukami. I feel like I have seen them somewhere before..." Yosuke said looking at a ruined poster.
"Who cares!? Let's go! I'm getting sick of this place! And I'm not feeling so good..." Chie said looking somewhat weak as though she had exhausted all of her energy into something.
"Now that you mention it, me too..." Yosuke said feeling the same effects that she was feeling.
"Same here." Yu said, feeling the effects as well. "Maybe it's because this place's atmosphere is pretty oppressive."
"That could be it." Yosuke nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's go back. I'm seriously starting to feel sick." he suggested. The two out of three teens nodded before they left the room.
Yu, Yosuke and Chie made it back to the studio-like area.
"Whew…" Chie sighed in exhaustion. "We finally made it back here…" she said before noticing something.
Yu and Yosuke looked confused before looking at the direction she was looking before they got a surprised look on their faces. Well, Yosuke had a surprised look while Yu had a cautious look.
"Th-There's something over there!" Yosuke exclaimed.
At the three teens point of view, it was a figure that wasn't human. Yu had became cautious and he was ready to fight just in case it was some sort of Makamou. The figure walked forward a pace, allowing the three teens get a better look at it.
The figure's appearance seems to be based off a stuffed animal, it is an anthropomorphic bear with blue fur, wears red and white jumpsuit-like clothing with big red buttons and it's face is white with big anime eyes. Oh and it also looks like it has a collar-like zipper.
'That's… not a Makamou.' Yu thought, sweatdropped.
"What is this thing? A monkey? A bear…?" Chie questioned.
"I think it's a bear." Yu said.
"What in the world…?" Yosuke asked before…
"Th-That's what I wanna know! Who are you guys…?" the bear creature spoke in a male voice!
Chie gasped in surprise. "It talked!" she exclaimed. "W-What are you!? Y-You wanna fight!?"
"D-Don't yell at me like that…" the bear shivered.
'Wow, it's actually cowering in fear.' Yu noted before he decided to do one thing to get at least a little bit of answers from someone, or something, like him… ask politely. "Sorry about my friend here, but can you tell us on what this place is please?"
The bear stopped cowering.
"This place is what it is. It doesn't have a name." the bear told him. "It's where I live."
"You… live here?" Yosuke asked.
"And you don't know what this place is actually?" Yu added.
"That's right. And if I was you guys, I'd hurry back to the other side." the bear told them. "Someone's been throwing people in here. It's a big headache."
'Throwing people in here?' Yu curiously thought.
"Huh?" It seems Yosuke reached the same conclusion as well. "Throwing people in here? What are you talking about?"
"I dunno who's doing it! I just want them to think before doing things like that!" the bear stomped his feet angrily.
'If someone is doing this out of their own accord there's no doubt this person knows what they're doing.' thought Yu as he can already guess that this person has the power to enter through a television set and into this world like he can. However the only difference is that he doesn't know how to get out of here, while this other person does.
"Hey, what's your problem!? What gives YOU the right to yell at us like that!?" Chie shot back not liking this creature's attitude. "What are you? Where are we? What the heck's going on around here...!?"
The bear got frightened and ran towards Yu only to hide behind him.
"I already told you..." he said with a somewhat sad look. "A-Anyway, you should hurry back.
"What it comes down to is: You want us to get out of here, right?" Yosuke frowned. "Well so do we! We just don't know how, dammit!"
"That's why I'm saying I'll let out!"
"Like I said we don't know where the freakin' exit-" At this Yosuke seemed to stopped and took a moment to comprehend what the bear had just told them. "Wait, what...?"
The bear whipped his hand forward as three stacks of TVs appeared.
'What?' gaped Yu not believing his eyes. 'Was that alchemy or something?'
"Wh-Where di those TVs come from!?" Chie asked, surprised to see the stack of television sets appearing out of nowhere.
Yosuke, Yu, and Chie all stepped in front of the television sets to examine them before the bear walked behind them.
"Okay now go on, get out of here! I'm a very busy bear!" he said before pushing them in.
"What's going on now!? Whoa! Hey, what are you doing!?" cried Chie.
"Stop pushing!" cried Yosuke.
"At least us go in ourselves!" Yu said.
(Junes Department Store)
"Huh?" blinked Chie as they looked around the store. "This is...?"
"Did we make it back...?" questioned Yosuke.
"It appears so." Yu said as they got up and looked at the TV. "Everything seems to be the way we left it."
"Attention, shoppers. Our daily limited-time sale will now begin at the side dish area on the first floor. Why not try the delicious, fresh produce Junes picked for you this morning as your side dish for dinner tonight? All ages are invited to take advantage of this incredible bargain!" the store announcement… well, announced.
"Crap, it's already that late!?" Yosuke questioned.
"Looks like we were in there for quite a while…" Chie said.
'Well it obvious due to the announcement.' Yu thought.
Yosuke remembered something important. Very important.
"That's right…" Yosuke started.
"What's up?" Yu asked.
"Now I remember where I saw that poster before…" Yosuke answered. "Look over there! That's the poster we saw!"
"What's up now?" Chie asked, confused before she and Yu looked to their right to see a medium sized, coloured and undefiled poster of the Enka singer, Misuzu Hiiragi "Hey, you're rightm they're the same. I couldn't tell before without the face, but it was Misuzu Hiiragi."
"Yeah, lately she's been all over the news." Yu recalled.
"Something about… her husband having an affair with that announcer lady who died the other day." she finished.
"Hey, so does that mean…?" Yosuke started, catching their attention. "That weird room we saw… Could it be related to that Yamano lady's death…? Now that I think about it… there was that creepy noose hanging from the ceiling."
"Yeah." Yu nodded.
Yosuke groaned. "Stop! No more! We gotta stop talking about this. I'm gonna wipe what happened today from my brain. I don't think my poor heart can take it anymore."
"Alright." Yu nodded in understanding, seeing as this is still new to Yosuke and Chie.
"I'm feeling a chill too…" Chie started. "Let's go home… I wanna lie down and rest."
After parting with his friends, Yu with his umbrella, started to walk home. He soon heard the sound of clapping and he sees a woman in old Japanese clothing.
"A Hime!?" Yu got into a defensive stance.
"Oni-san~… Follow me!" the Hime said before she changed and ran away.
"If this is suppose to be a challange from the enemy… then I accept!" Yu said before closing the umbrella and following her.
Yu had been running after the Hime for almost 30 minutes in the woods and now he found her and the Douji near a river.
The Douji and Hime turned into their other forms and they either have a lobster and or crab claw on their left hand or right.
"So the Makamou is a Bakegani huh?" Yu mused before he got out his Henshin Onsa Onkaku and after opening it, he lightly tapped it on his wrist before he hovers it above his foreheaf and lits into purple flames, despite the fact it's raining.
"HHH…HAH!"
He swung his arm out to disperse the flames and Hibiki took his place!
Hibiki got in a stance as he slowly paced around the Douji and Hime of Bakegani, who were doing the same. They took five steps around each other before the Hime of Bakegani leaped towards Hibiki as they engaged in combat, until the Douji of Bakegani jumped in with an axe kick which Hibiki was able to dodge. Hibiki lifted his forearms to block the Douji and Hime's oncoming punch before pushing them back. Reaching for his disks, he threw two in the air as a pair Akanekata made their cry before rushing towards the Douji and Hime of Bakegani.
"Get these nuisances away from us!" growled the Hime of Bakegani.
"Gladly." announced Hibiki, grabbing the Hime by the throat lifting her up in the air.
"Kihojutsu: Onibi!"
His mouth opened releasing purple flames that burned the Makamou into a crisp until noting was left but ashes.
"Damn you!" snarled the Douji of Bakegani.
"Don't worry, you'll be joining your wife soon enough." Hibiki told him as they raced towards one another.
Hibiki countered every attack the Douji of Bakegani had to throw at him. He then punched his opponent away before leaping up in the air, stretching out his right leg that was covered in purple energy for a kick!
"Eat this!" shouted Hibiki as his foot made contact with the Douji's chest causing him to explode. "That should be it..."
Soon the Bakegani appeared letting out a roar, snipping his claws around as its focus was on Hibiki.
"Yup, should've seen this coming." he awkwardly chuckled, pulling out his Rekka. The Echo Demon breathed in and out, seeing this is the first time he's fighting a Bakegani.
"Here I go." Hibiki said before charging in. He whacked the Bakegani in one of the legs with one of his Rekka and he ducked an attack from the claw, but the Makamou hit Hibiki with the back of it's claw, making fly away towards a tree and he landed against it before he was on the ground. Hibiki got up and ran towards the Bakegani then he rolled to evade it's other claw and again by jumping before he landed on the ground then used his Rekka to block an attack from it's left claw.
The Bakegani used it's right claw to hit Hibiki, sending him flying away then rolled on the ground and it caused him to drop one of his Rekka. Hibiki held his left hand, feeling like it's in pain before looking back at the Bakegani.
"Not bad." Hibiki commented before he picked up speed towards the Bakegani. He then ducked it's claw and started sliding on the ground before he stopped under the Makamou, using this as an oppertunity; Hibiki placed the Kaentsuzumi on the Bakegani stomach but he had to push it in with force, seeing that string Oni are better at fighting Bakegani.
The Makamou used it's claw to grab Hibiki from under it and threw him aside, making him crash into a boulder. Hibiki held his right shoulder as the Bakegani was walking towards him, the purple Oni noticed that his Taiko just grew big; meaning that it just fit onto the Makamou. Hibiki got up and rolled just to dodge the Bakegani's claw before he whacked his only Rekka in hand against the Kaentsuzumi, making the Makamou cry in pain.
Hibiki dodged the Bakegani's claw by rolling, again and after that he noticed that the Makamou started to stand up high and turn around before acid started to shoot out of it's back. Hibiki jumped to avoid the acid and landed in front of the Bakegani then he tackled it, making the giant crab fall down and land on it's back. He then beat his Taiko, stunning the Bakegani before it started to sprinkle acid.
"Ongeki Da: Kaen Renda no Kata!"
(音撃打・火炎連打の型, Sound Attack Stroke: the Flame Barrage Style)
Hibiki started to beat his Rekka into the Taiko, despite having one Rekka and after 20 beats, the Bakegani started to crack up, litterally, and some acid got onto Hibiki but it didn't stop him from beating. After the Bekegani glowed red, Hibiki did one more beat and it exploded.
BOOM!
Hibiki landed on the ground safely and the Kaentsuzumi flew in his acing it back on the slot of his buckle. The bright light enveloped him and it turned him back into Yu, but with his armor on.
"Alright… it's dead…" Yu gasped before tapping the Rekka on his shoulder. "Ow." he cringed, since some of the acid got onto him. "Time to go home."
Yu was about to get his Rekka until…
"ACHOO!"
He sneezed which made a fireball appear and it blew up a rock.
BOOM!
Yu sniffled a bit before he went to his other Rekka and went towards his ubrella.
"Better get home before I catch a cold." Yu said before he oppened the umbrella and started to walk home.
