OK so today I will reveal how Risa joined the nura family and I didn't get many reviews last time this made me kind of sad but at least I have some readers your comments are appreciated though. And 100 views did NOT expect that.

- (Flash Back) -

It was raining very hard; the black haired girl looked at the large mansion that was over flowing with yokai aura. She was very hesitant. She knew that if she went in there, there was a small chance of her making it out of the house unharmed…..

Everyone in that house had a reason to hate her, specially the person she wanted to see; Rikuo, she had caused him so much pain after all. She regretted her actions ever since she had realized what she had done. She never meant to hurt him, tears welling up in her eyes again, it was an accident, and she had no control over herself, after hearing the poem it was almost like an impulse, an instinct to drive the sword through Rihan's body. And what was even worse, after the weapon had penetrated his body, for a second she had a feeling of strange satisfaction, the kind of satisfaction that one feels after completing or doing a job very well, and that was when her head was flooded with the memories of Yamabuki Ottome and she realized just who this man was.

She took a step back, "I can't do it.'' She thought "I can't face him. I …." She was so afraid, not of Rikuo or his anger or hatred. She was afraid that he would forgive her. Why? Because she wasn't worth it. She wasn't worth his time or attention. She was jerked out of her thoughts by the sound of foot steps; they came nearer and nearer and then, just few paces behind her, they stopped. She could sense the person behind her. Human…no partly yokai. She swirled around and came face to face with a little boy. He was about 13 or 14, with brown hair on top and darker brown hair underneath the first wave. Her eyes opened in shocked as she realized the boy was pointing a sword in her direction. "What are you doing on my turf, fox'' his voice acidic with hatred. When he saw the tears in her eyes he lowered his weapon. His eyes softened "Your not hagoromo kitsune, are you?" he asked. She shook her head. "Alright then, what can I do for you, Yamabuki-" "Stop" she interrupted him. "Huh?" he asked, surprised at the sudden interruption.

"I'm not quite sure exactly who I am but I'm not Yamabuki Ottome"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I've been given her memories but other than that and the fact I look like her, I have no connection to the woman what so ever."

"But when I fought the kitsune you said that…."

"I know what I said, I thought that I was her." She said softly. She hung her head to hide her tears. She suddenly felt a warm hand grasp her fingers and gently tug her forward. She looked up to see Rikuo take her hand in to his, "What are you doing?" she asked worriedly. "Well we've got to figure out what to do with you right?" he said smiling at her, and she smiled, in spite of her self, it was impossible not to trust this boy.

As they entered the house she could see, sense really, suspicious eyes stare at her, but in the end it was Kubi-nashi to approach his master and say "Rikuo-sama, why is she here? How can you let a threat like her enter the main house?" His voice was stern and scolding. "It's not the kitsune, obviously" said Kejoro, "the magnitude of fear emanating from her is way too small."

"Know it all…" Kubi-nashi murmured under his breath.

Rikuo briefly explained what had passed at the main gate and stated that the girl would be staying at the main house for the time being. This surprised everyone, including the girl, and gave Karasu-Tengu a near heart attack. Everyone protested but Rikuo just replied in a cold and serious voice "Do you doubt my judgment as the Third Heir?" everyone fell silent, they knew that the third was serious. And it had been brought to their attention

The inhabitants of the main house could do nothing but obey their master but they passed her hostile looks every chance they got. The only two people who acted a little different towards her were Nurarihyon and Wakana; Nurarihyon treated her as frankly as if he had known her all his life and Wakana always smiled brightly at her and tried to stir conversations with her from time to time. The girl often found herself thinking ' what a whacked out, strange family they are, they are the ones that should hate me the most; yet they are so kind…'

Few weeks passed and Rikuo still said nothing about what she was to do and by that time most of the people in the main house had warmed up to her.

One night she was sitting alone in the veranda outside her temporary room when she sensed movement. She slowly turned and saw Wakana standing there. "Can I help you Wakana-sama?"

"No, I just came to enjoy the beautiful night."

"I see."

"You never told me your name."

"I don't have one…."

"Well, I'll have to give you one then..."

"It's not necessary, its not like I'm staying here very long or anything."

"But, I just can't keep calling you 'you' now can I?"

"I suppose not."

Wakana raised her hand to her forehead as if deep in thought. "How about Risa?" she said, clearly pleased with herself. "If had a daughter, I would have named her that….." she stopped suddenly as if she had said too much and immediately changed the subject "Do you like it?"

"Yes, it is rather nice."
"So Risa it is."

-Few Days Later-

Rikuo walked through the house looking for Risa and spotted her sitting near the pond, chatting fondly with Kappa. It didn't surprise him that most of the ayakashi in the nura mansion had started to like her and had even accepted her, which was the reason he and his mother had come to this conclusion. She was going to become a member of the nura family.

When Rikuo told her that his mother would adopt her, she burst into tears but she finally accepted after Rikuos insistence. She had never imagined that this would happen but for some reason she was happy, maybe she had wanted this subconsciously.

She was gladly accepted by most of the nura house but the Kekiens was harder to convince, it took about two months or so for them to get used to her and by now she had become a favorite among many of the Kekiens, her personality was such that it was impossible for even the exorcist to hate her.

As time passed Rikuo helped her explore and develop her fear system, it turned out that she had a very powerful control over nature. In a year she was powerful enough to pose a challenge to Kubi-nashi and many of the ayakashi of the main house though she is no where near her brothers level. She attends school just like Rikuo and gets along well with humans.

OK, sorry for the rushed ending…. Next chapter is climax chapter and the rihanxwakana starts from 4 or 5 chapter, k? so stay tuned and RnR plz.
