Hello and welcome to my second experimental fanfic of Tsugumomo, in which an inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, which led to the creation of this new story…which would mix a combination of action, COMEDY and a bit mix of ECCHI…

This came after re-watching the episodes of Tsugumomo and having uploaded my first M-rated Tsugumomo fanfic, Sensual Punishment, I thought of making a T-rated fanfic. Coincidentally, I just finished re-watching another anime series based on a manga, which is Mieruko-chan, and both that and Tsugumomo happened to have similar supernatural themes, and little by little ideas popped into my head.

As an experiment, I decided to come up with a crossover story of sorts where the characters of Tsugumomo and Mieruko-chan would meet in a chance encounter, and see if this would attract readers and fans.

This somewhat gave me an idea and decided to try this out and see if the reception is good.

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Chōjō genshō no purorōgu

The scene then zoomed further and you can see that the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.

Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey!"

"Nice day, isn't it?"

"Today is a good day..."

"I love my job..."

"Life is so good..."

"I wish I have a good day..."

"Lots of money..."

"Lots of girls..."

The scene then zoomed further and you can see that it is nighttime, and the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. The time now is 19:00, where it is the right time where people from all walks of life in society are seen passing by, having spent the whole day on their numerous activities and are now using this time to wind up and relax.

There are several types of people seen on the streets at this busy night; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.

Shops are still open at this time, and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey there..."

"Today's a good day..."

"Ah...life is so good..."

"Let's have lunch...?"

"Will you be my girlfriend...?"

"Let's get married..."

"Stop right there!"

"EEEP! COPS!"

A few days later, the scene shifts at a Kamioka East Middle School, which is located in Kamioka which is situated in the Gifu Prefecture, located in the Chūbu region of Honshu.

Then the scene shifts at the student council office, Tadataka Tadata goes over the details of Nanako Nanakai's amasogi with Osamu Osanai, Chisato Chikaishi, Kiriha and Kazuya Kagami listening on.

Chisato and Kazuya state their relief of no Curse Backlash occurring while Kiriha remains silent. Nanako enters the room, writing on a small white board tells them that she has lost her voice. Almost everyone were staring in disbelief at what they just witnessed.

"Eh…?"

"Nanako…"

"You just…lost your voice…?"

"For real…?"

"It can't be…"

"No way…"

"Damn…"

"This can't be true…"

The group is surprised by the curse backlash, but Kiriha tells them it does not always occur immediately. Kazuya apologizes to Nanako, but Nanako tells Kazuya it is her own responsibility which Kiriha agrees. Kiriha leaves and Nanako assures Kazuya that Kiriha is correct.

-x-

Kazuya prepares to go home, telling Kiriha she was too harsh on Nanako, but Kiriha tells him to be silent. Kazuya is called out by Sunao Sumeragi, who punches him in the face, sending him careening against a guardrail, where she is dismayed at seeing him being weak, which Kiriha came to his defense.

"Hey! What are you…"

"Out of the way!"

"Who are…"

"This is between me and him!"

"Attacking Kazuya from behind? You really stoop so low!"

"This is an exorcist business! So butt out!"

"In your dreams!"

"I said move it!"

Sunao continues attacking Kazuya and he is defended by Kiriha. Sunao is able to grab Kiriha away and punch Kazuya again, calling him a pathetic excuse on an exorcist. Kiriha attacks with an obi punch from behind but is intercepted by Kotetsu who cuts her obi.

Sunao chastises Kotetsu for interfering and calls him back into his weapon form. Kiriha questions if Sunao is possessed by her tsukumogami which Sunao denies. Sunao introduces herself and states her reason for attacking Kazuya, telling him he is not fit to be Kanaka's replacements.

Kazuya is confused and his head begins to hurt when trying to remember his mother. Kiriha remembers Sunao and the two leave, telling Kiriha and Kazuya to follow them to the land god.

-x-

At Kazuya's house, Kukuri makes and grand entrance for the four of them and Kiriha grapples her for it. Sunao and Kotetsu are shocked by how Kiiha treats a god.

Previously, Sunao and Kotetsu had witnessed Kazuya's fight with the Kamioni, believing Kazuya to be unfit wield Kanaka's weapon. The two went to Kukrui who told them that Kanaka had passed away. Sunao requested to test Kazuya's strength as an exorcist. Kukuri accepted and told them how much Kazuya had progressed.

Sunao thanks Kukuri for accepting her request, though Kiriha is angered and threatens her. Sunao states she believes that Kazuya is unfit to be the region's exorcist and challenges him to a duel to decide Kamioka's exorcist.

"You think Kazuya's not up to it?"

"You're damn right!"

"And now you challenging him to a duel?"

"So he's chickening out?"

"No way! Kazuya will surely beat you up! We accept!"

"Good. Train yourself up."

"We'll be ready!"

"Fine."

After a few days, Kazuya and Sunao had their duel, and while the battle is quite intense, it was a close one but in the end Kazuya won, and though distraught, she graciously accepted defeat, and a few days later, both teens came to an understanding and became comrades who would strive to get stronger and become superb exorcists.

A few days later, the scene shifts at a town, which is bustling with people, as many are walking and loitering around, shops filled with shoppers whilst restaurants are catering hungry patrons, some are dining in and others ordering take-outs.

Some shops are selling clothes and there are banks accommodating customers who wish to deposit their money while others are transacting, such as opening new accounts and withdrawing money from their ATM cards.

The scene shifts to other areas where shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey!"

"Nice day, isn't it?"

"Today is a good day..."

"I love my job..."

"Life is so good..."

"I wish I have a good day..."

"Lots of money..."

"Lots of girls..."

The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality.

You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.

"Hello...please by our items..."

"They are cheaper..."

"...they are in good working condition..."

"You can try them if you like..."

"I promise you will like them..."

"I promise you will get your money's worth..."

"Here are the items on our display..."

"Pick the one you like..."

The area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what items do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.

Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:

- Nintendo Famicom

- Super Famicom

- Sega Mega Drive

- Game Boy Color

- Game Boy Advance

- Neo Geo

- Sony Playstation

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.

"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"

"Yes...they ate cool..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."

"Hmm..."

"Would you like to try them...?"

"..."

"I promise you will not regret it..."

Amid all this, a female teenager happened to pass by a local shrine, in which she is described as having black hair (with faded purple tips), yellow eyes and she usually has a somber and tired expression, but tries to smile in front of others. She normally wears her school uniform, but often wears casual wear such as jacket with hoodies and jeans.

This teenage girl, about 16 years old, is identified as Miko Yotsuya, who, for some reason, has an ability to see spirits, even powerful ones that are invisible to other mediums, with total clarity. However, she cannot see extremely powerful spirits though she can see their effects. This ability is active constantly, so she always sees spirits in her day-to-day life, and due to their terrifying appearance and threatening behavior, she constantly fears for her life.

She has noticed that if she doesn't acknowledge them, spirits will not bother her, so she must remain stoic and unflinching in the face of supernatural terrors, though her act crumbles as soon as she feels safe. Notably, she cannot see people's auras despite her power.

As Miko walked the stairs leading to the ground as she is leaving the shrine, she had a rather somber look as she had a CLOSE CALL due to an unfortunate encounter, and she is forced to recall that incident that happened a over a week ago that had her constantly be on guard for any encounter.

-FLASHBACK-

Several days ago, Miko went out and decided to take breather due to developing a bit of stress as a few spirits showed up at her home, and she had to endure the situation in order not to arouse suspicions from her mom and Kyosuke.

She mentally sighed as she wished that Hana were here as she would help ease her distress, and is thinking of giving her a call and ask if she wants to hang out today. She picked up her smartphone and called Hana Yurikawa, her classmate and best friend, asking if she is available today, and to Miko's dismay, Hana said that she is FULLY BOOKED today, hence she couldn't get out of the house.

"So you're busy for the day, Hana?"

"Yes."

"I see…"

"So sorry, Miko."

"Its okay."

"Maybe next time we can hang out."

"Okay."

"Thanks."

Sighing, Miko thanked her for the reply before turning off her smartphone, and now she wondered what to do next, as she did not notice that she is walking near the creek where a small river is just beside her as she walked by.

However, another spirit showed up and attempted to intimidate Miko, but she uses her usual way by ignoring it while pretending not to notice it, and as she walked further away, she mentally felt relieved and hoped that it doesn't follow her.

However, something unexpected happened as something slashed the right side of her back near her shoulder, and she winced in pain and as she checked it, her eyes widened as bloodstains filled her fingers, and saw a gaping hole on the back of her shirt.

As she accidentally turn around, the spirit that Miko ignored uses its claws to slash the right side of her chest, ripping a portion of her dress, which also severed the right portion of her bra and heavily grazed her right breast, which was exposed, and that part began to bleed quite heavily.

Miko winced further in pain and there she saw the cause, and realized that the spirit she ignored is actually attacking her, and she began to tremble in terror as she never thought that a spirit would actually want to harm her.

But before she could make a move, the spirit did a finger thrust and its fingernails jabbed through her chest before it penetrated her heart, and Miko coughed heavily while vomiting blood from her mouth before she was punched back.

There she slowly fell to the river as her body is being swept away and the spirit can be seen snickering malevolently and diabolically as it watches Miko's seemingly lifeless body being swept away by the currents.

About 20 minutes later, the scene shifts at the other side of the riverbank, where you can see that Miko is laid on the ground, and you can see that the upper-right portion of her upper clothing was shredded, exposing her right breast, as well as the center of her chest, which was scarred due to the attack by the unidentified malevolent spirit, and there you can see someone kneeling beside her.

This person appeared to be a senior citizen, a man who appeared to be in his mid-60s, who is long-haired which his hair color is white, with white moustache and beard, and dressed in what appeared to be a Sengoku-era robes, and he is holding what appeared to be a hand-sized, rounded object, which was glowing, and you can see the seemingly-fatal wounds on her chest and back are being healed and the wounds closing, while the blood that stained her skin dried up.

By then Miko opened her eyes and got up before looking around, and blushed upon seeing her right breast exposed to prying eyes as well as seeing the man near her, but then she recalled the events earlier and checked her chest and upper back, and there the man told her that her wounds have been healed, surprising Miko.

"Don't worry, child. You've been patched up."

"Eh?"

"Your wounds have been healed."

"!"

"You're okay now."

"How…"

"What's important is that your life is saved."

"I…I..."

Miko was surprised to hear that this man saved her life as well as healed her wounds, which she expressed gratitude, but the man told her that she is just lucky that he happened to pass by and saw what happened, then told her that the spirit that attacked her is different from the others, and informed her that she cannot ignore what she is seeing, saying that the spirit that assaulted her earlier is just a start as there would be more to appear.

He also told her that these kind of incidents would increase and these malevolent spirits can tell whether their prey can SEE them or not, hence Miko is at risk of being attacked again when the least expected.

"…and that's that…"

"N-no…"

"I'm sorry…but that's the harsh reality…"

"…"

"Unlike before…there are going to be malevolent spirits that will attack their prey regardless whether you notice them or not…"

"I…I..."

"So sorry to tell you this…"

"…"

Miko was on the verge of crying as she couldn't believe that she might be attacked again as she thought of her younger brother and Hana, and she mentally wished there is a way to protect them, and the man smirked and said that there is a way for Miko to protect herself, which she readily asked if there is such a way.

"R-really…?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure…?"

"Yes. There's a way for you to sort this out."

"Please…tell me how!"

"Are you prepared…?"

"…yes…"

"Very well…"

The man, who introduced himself as simply Sennin, which means "hermit" or "sage", and took out a pouch and brought out the contents which revealed to be an unusual device, which he calls it the Ghost-Driver, and tells Miko that this device will help her fend off any malevolent spirits that attempt to harm her or her loved ones, which made her tempted, as protecting Kyosuke and Hana are what drove her to readily consider.

Then Sennin brought out another item, which he dubbed the Eyecon, and said that this will give her ADDITIONAL ABILITIES to help her fight off the malevolent spirits and said that only the wearer can see the spirits hence it won't freak out other people.

As Miko asked how these items work, Sennin told her the instructions, as well as how to use the Eyecon, and there Miko took the Ghost-Driver and stared at it while Sennin gave her an Eyecon, which he said it will give her the ability to fight off any spirits that try to harm her.

Sennin gave Miko the Ghost Eyecon, and told her on how to use it, then inform her that there are about 14 other Eyecons that are scattered all over, and said that once all 15 are gathered, she would gain the power to find the source of this phenomenon and there she can end it and then she can return to her normal life.

"R-really…?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure…?"

"Yes. Once you collected 15 of the Eyecons…you will gain the means to end this phenomenon and you won't be seeing any spirits again."

"For real? All I have to do is find 14 others…?"

"Indeed. So then…are you prepared to do this…?"

"…yes…"

"Very well…"

As Miko glanced at the Ghost Eyecon and the Ghost-Driver, she is tempted to ask him if there is some kind of payment in exchange, and when she looks up, she blinked her eyes in surprise as Sennin DISAPPEARED in thin air, and this made her wondered if Sennin is a person or a spirit, which made her feel uneasy.

Seeing that she needed to get going, Miko stood up and is ready to leave, and as she checked her body, she realized that her bag and smartphone are not here and there she realized that she must have dropped them at the site where the malevolent spirit assaulted her. She then saw a bridge and went there and crossed to the other side.

As she heads to the site where she believed that her bag is there, she is suddenly greeted by the malevolent spirit that attacked her earlier, which Miko managed to evade, but its claws only caught the rest of her upper clothes and forcefully grabbed it, ripping it away, leaving Miko NAKED from the waist up.

"!"

"RRRRR…"

"No!"

"RRRRR…"

"Stop!"

"RRRRR…"

"Leave me alone!"

"RRRRR…"

As Miko is starting to panic as she is about to be cornered, she recalled the items she is holding, and remembering what Sennin said to her a while ago, she took a deep breath and placed the Ghost-Driver in front of her waist, where a metallic belt strap is formed, and thus the Ghost-Driver became a belt.

As the malevolent spirit is chasing her, Miko kept evading it and took out the Ghost Eyecon and pressed a button, where a voice spoke to confirm the activation.

Ghost Eyecon: "EYE…"

Bachiri-mina…Bachiri-mina…
Bachiri-mina…Bachiri-mina…
Bachiri-mina…Bachiri-mina…
Bachiri-mina…Bachiri-mina…

Suddenly, a hoodie jacket-like spirit emerged and began to repel the malevolent spirit back, which Miko stared wide-eyed in surprise, but the malevolent spirit persisted and tried to reach out to Miko, nearly grazing her naked chest, and there she took a deep breath and inserted the Ghost Eyecon inside the Ghost-Driver, closes the hatch and toggles the small lever, where the Ghost-Driver spoke to confirm the activation.

Ghost-Driver: "KAIGAN! ORE…LET'S GO! KAKUGO…GO-GO-GO-GHOST-TOH! GO, GO, GO, GO…"

Miko is surprised as her body is MYSTICALLY ENVELOPED in black but illuminating armor, and the hoodie jacket-like entity, colored black with brown streaks flew and draped itself onto Miko, and there you can see that the helmet has orange lens that resembled that of a firefly, and a rather large horn on the forehead portion of the helmet.

Miko instinctively pushes down the hood and noticed that she is encased in an armor while wearing the hooded jacket, and seeing the lake she glanced at her reflection and is surprised at what she is wearing, and this made her wondered if this is what Sennin meant about gaining the ability to protect and fight back against the malevolent spirits.

"Is this…what that man said…? Will this help me repel that spirit….?"

Miko had no idea what just happened, as she unwittingly transformed into Kamen Rider Ghost. Now she wondered how to deal with the malevolent spirit and just now she realized that she should have asked Sennin how to make use of this new-found abilities she gained, as she has no idea on how to use it to face the malevolent spirit.

"Damn it…I should have asked him how to use this ability…!"

The malevolent spirit then charged towards the armored Miko and struck her with his claws, but the SPIRITUAL armor protected her and all she felt was just a BUMP, and she staggered back after receiving a few more blows, but the malevolent spirit pinned her to the ground and began to strangle her, as it is determined to kill Miko and consume her soul.

"!"

"RRRRR…"

"Gaaahhhhkkk!"

"RRRRR…"

"L-let…g-go!"

"RRRRR…"

"I…won't…l-let…you…!"

"RRRRR…"

As Miko is starting to lose her breath due to being strangled, she made a desperate move by poking the malevolent spirit on the eye with her fingers, and the malevolent spirit backed away, and getting up, adrenaline rushed within her body and performed some wrestling moves such as clothesline and a dropkick.

Miko is surprised that she is able to repel the malevolent spirit back and wanting to stop the spirit from making another attempt to attack her, the armored Miko charges forward and delivered a barrage of punches like the ones seen on wrestling shows like WWE Raw and Smackdown.

Though it worked, the malevolent spirit wouldn't be deterred and fought back, and Miko is reeling as she wondered what to do in order to defeat this malevolent spirit so that it would not attack her anymore.

It was then that Sennin contacted her SPIRITUALLY, and instructed her on what to do, which Miko asked if he is sure about this, which Sennin smiled and assured to her that this will work and would get rid of the malevolent spirit for good.

"Really…?"

"Yup. It will work."

"…"

"Better do it and stop hesitating…"

"Will it really work…?"

"Why don't you give it a try…?"

"Eh…?"

"You better make your move."

Miko then glanced at the malevolent spirit, who grabbed her by her neck and attempted to strangle her once more, and as the malevolent spirit is focused on strangling her, she toggles the lever on the Ghost-Driver and a voice spoke to confirm the activation.

Ghost-Driver: "DAI-KAIGAN…OMEGA DRIVE!"

Miko's armor glowed like that of a firefly while her armored right leg glowed brightly before kicking the malevolent spirit which the impact is strong enough to send him back for a few meters, and then Miko ran towards the malevolent spirit before executing a flying kick, and the move connected, which caused an explosion, and the malevolent spirit was defeated and sent back to the spirit plane.

Miko stood there as the smoke cleared, and sighing in relief, she wondered what to do next before she glanced at the Ghost-Driver and coincidentally pulls the lever, opening the hatch of the belt, and pulls out that Eyecon, and her armor and hoodie jacket disappeared, and Miko is back to normal again.

She stood still as she is trying to mentally absorb what happened to her, as several minutes ago she was attacked and left for dead, then an elderly man uses SUPERNATURAL means to save her and gave her items to fight the spirit that attacked her, and now she is tasked to find 14 more Eyecons in order to PUT AN END to the spirit infestations.

-END FLASHBACK-

As Miko mentally sighed at recalling the events, she is now planning to leave Kamioka and head back home, hoping that she wouldn't encounter any malevolent spirits, as she has enough problems to face, especially when tasked to find 14 more Eyecons in order to gain this POWER to put a stop any spirits from harassing her, and as Miko is walking the streets, she seemingly failed to notice that something is discreetly following her.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, as it borrows some portions from the Sunao Sumeragi story arc of the manga and anime, and while roughly the same, it deviates significantly by having Miko Yotsuya, the main character from the manga/anime Mieruko-chan, appear and is visiting a shrine in Kamioka, and is shown that she is a supernatural-themed Kamen Rider…though her exploits were mostly flashback scenes…

Preview:

Miko's encounter with Kazuya becomes imminent as the two teens would encounter a malevolent spirit…while Sunao is slated to encounter someone who has spiritual abilities, but the upcoming encounter would be quite…hostile…

See you in four weeks…

Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
