The next chapter of Yo-Kai Journey is here. Not much to say except that my new story "Katie's New Friends" is up so if you haven't, please check it out and please give it the same support as you do this story.

I also want to ask you guys something, is there an episode that showed how Nate and Katie met and if not then how do you guys think they met? Thank you and enjoy.

Thirty minutes after their encounter with Lilly, Nate and Katie are at Nate's house discussing on how to get Nate's watch back from Lilly during their 'date.' "I still can't believe that Lilly was able to get the watch, I was told by Whisper that it was impossible to take off on day one," Nate said while glaring at Whisper.

"An honest mistake," Whisper said.

"That's what you said the last 50 times you made a mistake," Jibanyan said.

"Anyways Katie, do you think you'll be able to get the watch back from her?" Nate asked.

Katie, however wasn't listening, her mind was filled with rage with how Lilly has the audacity to steal Nate's watch and use it to force him to go on a date with her. "She has no right to do this, first she asks Nate out when I was about to confess to him my feelings, and now she just uses his own watch to against him. That just proves she doesn't deserve him," she thought furiously.

"Um Katie, are you ok?" Nate asks while waving his hand in front of her face.

She then snapped out of her trace and was staring at Nate, "Sorry about that, what was it that you asked?"

"I asked if you'll be able to get the watch back from Lilly," Nate says.

"Right of course, trust me I'll get the watch back," she said with confidence.

"Alright," Nate says. He then stared at the clock and saw that it was almost time to head out. "Whelp, better get going," he says as he get up and starts to head out.

"Yes let's go," Whisper says while following Nate before being stopped by Nate.

"Sorry Whisper, I need you to stay here and help Katie," Nate says.

"What why? As your butler I should accompany you and help you out on this date," Whisper said.

"Ok 1, that is not how a date works. 2, this isn't a real date, she's forcing me to go. And 3, since Lilly has the Yo-Kai watch, I need you to make sure she doesn't discover any Yo-Kai with it," Nate says while Whisper nods in agreement.

"I understand, I'll make sure that no Yo-Kai are seen," Whisper said.

"Well let's just get this over with," Nate says as he exits the room and then the house. While walking, he thinks about the way Katie has been since Lilly showed up, "She seems different, I know she's upset like I am of this situation, but I didn't expect her to be like this. I hope she's ok."

Back with Katie, she sees Nate leave through the window with a worried expression on her face. Frostina floats over to her and tries to comfort her, "Hey Katie, is everything ok?"

"Everything's fine I just can't get over the fact that my chance for confessing to Nate was ruined," Katie says with a sad expression.

"Confess to Nate what?" Whisper asks.

Katie turns and sees that she was being stared down by Whisper, Jibanyan, and even Hidabat who was peeking from the closet to see what she was talking about, "Oh great, forgot they were here too," she said slightly annoyed.

"Should we tell them?" Frostina asked.

"Might as well, they won't stop nagging until they know," Katie said with a sigh. She then explained that she was going to confess her feelings towards Nate before Lilly showed up, leaving the three Yo-Kai shocked from what they heard.

"WHAT!" they yelled in shock.

*30 minutes later*

Lilly is at Gourd Park and is waiting for Nate to show up so they can get started on their date. While waiting she was constantly staring at the watch, which she put on her wrist, to see what was so special about it. "Why is this watch important to him, I know he said it was a family heirloom but still," she said as she was inspecting the watch.

While checking the side she noticed a button the side of the watch. She was about to press it until she saw Nate coming towards her. "He's here never mind the watch, time for my date."

When Nate arrived, he saw that Lilly was wearing his watch on her wrist, "Great, now the chances of her seeing Yo-Kai have gone up." "Hey Lilly," he said annoyed.

"Hello Nate, are you ready for our date," Lilly said cheerfully.

"Whatever, what do you want to do," Nate said with the same tone.

"Nothing special, I thought we could just walk around and talk to each other," she said, "And you know, you could be a bit more cheerful about this."

"Alright, let's just go and get this over with," he said a bit more cheerful but still annoyed.

"Ok then," she said as they began to walk around the park and make small talk.

In the bushes there was a giant purple mirror with black glass that appeared to have two eyes and a mouth with the tongue out. A bright light had soon emitted from the mirror and when it died down, Katie, Whisper, Jibanyan, and Frostina were standing there. "Well we're here, thanks Mirapo," Katie said as she and the Yo-Kai stepped out of the mirror to help out Nate.

"Any sign of him," Whisper said.

"I see him over there, and Lilly is with him," Jibanyan said as he pointed to Nate and Lilly walking with each other.

"Looks like they're just talking to each other and Lilly has the Yo-Kai watch on her wrist," Frostina said.

"That might make things a bit harder. Whisper, Jibanyan, you guys check around and try to keep any Yo-Kai nearby away from them," Katie said.

"Got it," they both said as they left to their part of the plan.

"Well Katie, how're going to get the watch back?" Frostina asked.

"Simple, we get a thief to steal it back," Katie said as she pulled out a medal.

"Let's go my friend! Come on out, Peckpocket!"

Summoning, Eerie!

Lookily lookily,

Flippa dede!

Lookily lookily, bubba

Eerie!

Peckpocket

"Peckpocket, I need you to grab Nate's watch back from Lilly," she said.

"Ok no problem," Peckpocket said as he goes to get the watch back. While heading his way, Nate sees Peckpocket heading towards the watch, "Peckpocket, that's genius. So glad this'll be over," he thought to himself.

"Hey Nate," Lilly said, "I was wondering what makes this watch so special to you."

"I already told you, it's a family heirloom," he said.

"I know but I'm sure it has some special function. Like what does this button do," she said as she was about to press the button while the watch was facing Peckpocket.

"Oh no, not good," Nate thought worried.

Just then, before the light was shined, Peckpocket was pushed out of the way by Jibanyan. Before he could get away, the light shined on him and he quickly went on all fours and kept his two tails together, trying to go as a regular cat.

"Hmm, I guess it's some flashlight," Lilly said. Then when she looked up, she noticed a red cat standing where the light was shining. "Aw look at the cute kitty," she said while going up to pet it.

Nate then thought of an idea, "Hey Lilly be careful, it could bite you," he said while winking to Jibanyan who smirked in return.

"Aw Nate its sweet that you care for me, but I'll be fine," she said while kneeling down and petting Jibanyan.

Seeing this as the right moment, Jibanyan bit Lilly in the hand just enough for her to take her hand back in pain.

"Ow, ow, ow dang it. Bad kitty," she said, while holding her hand in pain.

"Are you ok Lilly," Nate said while going up to her.

"Yeah I'm ok it just stings," she said while having a slight blush because Nate is caring for her.

"Good in that case I'll be off," he said which shocked Lilly.

"What do you mean you'll be off, we're still in the middle of our date," she said furiously.

"Well I only came here because you took my watch, but since I got it back I don't see any point on staying here," he said while raising his wrist to show Lilly his watch.

Shocked she looked down on her wrist to see that his watch wasn't there anymore, "What, how did you get it back?"

"I have my ways," he said while looking behind her to see Peckpocket smiling back at him. During the diversion that Jibanyan gave, Peckpocket saw his chance and nabbed the watch from Lilly's wrist while she was in pain.

"Look Lilly, you can't just take my watch and then use it against me. This is important to me and I hate it that you are taking advantage of it," he said while glaring at her.

She just had her cheeks puffed up while having a mad expression, "This isn't over you know, I'll be back," she said just as she marches off.

With that all over, Nate walks towards the bushes where he knows Katie is hiding. She then leaves her hiding spot and walks towards Nate, "Well glad that's all over," he said.

"Yep, however I have the uneasy feeling that we will see more of her again," Katie said with a worried expression.

"We probably will. But anyways Katie, I just want to say thanks for helping getting the watch back, I knew you could do it," he said.

Katie, unable to control herself, just replied with a hug almost knocking Nate off his feet, "Thanks Nate for trusting me," she said while blushing madly.

"Uh, yeah no problem," Nate said while also blushing madly before she let go of him. "Well I guess we better head home now."

"Yeah I guess, let's go through Mirapo," she said as they headed towards the mirror.

Frostina was the first to go through and Katie was just about to follow before she turned to Nate, "Before I forget, I have one last thing to give you," she said. Nate was about to ask what it was, he was interrupted by Katie giving him a peck in the cheek, "Thanks for everything Nate, I'll see you later," she said just as she went through the mirror Yo-Kai, leaving Nate to ponder on what just happened.

"Well things between you two are starting to get interesting," Whisper teased. But Nate didn't hear him; he just stood there with his hand on where Katie kissed him.

In the distance, a mysterious shadow was watching Nate. It was hard to get a good look at him with the only noticeable thing on him was a Yo-Kai watch on his wrist, "Well that was one tragedy avoided," he said just as he felt a presence of another entity behind him. "Spying on me again are you Venoct," it said as he turned to the scarf wearing Yo-Kai.

"That should be no surprise to you since you are keeping a close eye on my friends," Venoct said.

"I understand your concern, but I can assure that I mean no harm to Nate and Katie. I am only making sure that everything is alright between the two. You know as well as I do that if something affects their relationship, Kin and Gin will no doubt use that to their advantage," it said.

"Alright, I trust your judgment but there is little to worry about. They have a strong bond that seems inseparable," Venoct said.

"You can never be too sure," the shadow said.

"Very well, I'll leave you to your work. I'll see you again, Crafter Z," Venoct said before he left.

"Everything is fine for now, but those two won't give up. And knowing them, their leader is behind this as well," said Crafter Z.

And this chapter is now over and we have a cameo of Crafter Z, which is actually Eim Espina's OC. He only appeared for a short time but over the course of this story he'll play a bigger role.

Also as for the chant when summoning Eerie, I got that along with all the other chants from the wiki so before anyone might go and say those aren't the words, there you go.

Now this is the part where I shall reply to some of your guys' reviews. So let's begin.

Rockster (Guest): OMG I completely realized the similarities between Lilly and Luna from Mega Man. I completely forgot about the Star Force series until you brought it up, which is sad since it was my favorite of all Mega Man games. Thanks to you, I just got back to Mega Man and I have plans on doing a Star Force fanfic sometime in the future.

Pikatwig: Yes, Frostina is Katie's Yo-Kai partner so she does follow her around.

Avian (Guest): BlazionxFrostina huh? Could happen, that's all I'm saying.

JustPapaFrog: Not sure, don't know how to implement evolution in here.

Now chances are that this story might go on for a few more chapters before it ends, but who knows.

Anyways as always if you guys enjoyed please leave a review and a suggestion for the story. I also want your opinions on how Nate and Katie met because it's important for what's coming up. Thank you and stay alert for the next chapter.
