Chapter 3: The odd Yokai

After helping out her grandmother Bella, Octavia got another surprise from her step father "Are you serious?!" She asked as Blitzo was starting to unpack some of there stuff "I told you I am taking nursing classes" said Blitzo r "Yeah I now but I thought you said you are gonna start classes on the fifthteenth" said Octavia as Blitzo gasped "No its the fifth! Wait that's tomorrow! Oooh boy I almost forgot my first class" he said as Octavia moaned as she slid dressed in a purple sundress "ugh what am I gonna do all alone? Loona told me she is going out to find a part time job" said Octavia "Well you can unpack things and *Stands up* and since your old school was kind enough to let you submit your assignments remotely you can do that" said Blitzo going to a closet as Octavia stood up "Thats not what I meant Blitzo" started Octavia as Blitzo was in the other room

Blitzos voice: go take a bath, I'll find the shampoo for you to use

With that She just sighed as she went into the bathroom as she stripped off her cloths and started a bath as she sat in this japanese style bathroom far diffrent then the goitia manor she lived in…when it changed when her father divorced her mother Stella and married the imp he cheated on with, even though her mother wasnt good, why did her dad cheat on Blitzo and then…the move here.

Blitzo was busy unpacking the boxes with Loona help. Soon Octavia was done bathing as she sat in the office room as she sat in front of a fan lifting up her top to cool off as she lowered her shirt and then reached into her bag as she pulled out the letter that her father left her…before he passed away

A simple piece of paper that said…[Dear octavia]

She stared at the letter, the last reminder of her father…a father who loved her, who divorced someone who was emotionally unstable and was bad for her and what she said…

"Daddy…" she whispered

Octavias voice: you know what forget it your a lier

It flashes back to the last time she saw her biological father

As it shows A taller four eyed owl demon trying to please his daughter but faltered as Octavia, now in a apartment room as she walked out "I dont care if you come back" she said full of anger of the devorce and that her father cheated and married a Imp as he sighed and looked at four tickets to take her, blitzo and Loona to a concert to try to bond and iron things out, he knows it wasnt easy with both the divorce and remarrying but he wished he can help her out.

Later it shows Loona and Octavia dressed casually watching TV as the phone rang as Blitzo answered it "I'm sorry I dont understand what happened to the ship…I see…what about my husband? Is he ok?" He asked which caught Octavia and Loona ear confusing them as Blitzo choked cried "I see…" he said

Soon there was a funeral for Stolas who died at sea, many goitias came as they paid there respects as Octavia, Blitzo and Loona sat watching the proceedings as Octavia felt a swirl of emotions and just didnt know what to feel especially after that fight she had with her father. Later in her fathers room looking at all the plant and fish memorabilia and items as Octavia stared at her fathers desk as she saw a piece of paper in the desk letters on front with her name as she flipped it and saw only one sentence…"Dear octavia" which made her gasp curious on what her father wanted to say to her…but saw there was nothing…just those words "Dear Octavia, the other pages…blank there wasnt a scent of lemon so no invisible ink…just those words and nothing else on the writing pad.

It then went back to the current time as the letter shook due to the fan as she stared at the letter, the last reminder of her father "What were you trying to say father?" She asked, however her musing was interupting as she heard a odd noise as the noise clapped above in the attic confusing her.

Morning came as Blitzo, Loona and Octavia stood infront of a shrine with a photo of Stolas as Blitzo admitted his moms taught him how to pray to a shrine japanese style "*Tooks a breath* Ok lets go" said Blitzo as Loona followed her dad as Octavia stared at the shrine but just moaned at this ritual as minute later Blitzo took his daughters to a store to pick up some items "That's it, that should help us out for a while" said Blitzo "Well its quaint" said Loona "Are there no supermarkets here?" Asked octavia "No convince stores either, this is a place with just family stores" said Loona recalling the time she and Dad visits "*No way your kidding me!" Said Octavia as Blitzo paid for the items as Octavia looked around however near some red baskets with some half price items which was a little peacock dressed in a white sundress with turquoise/pink feathers "Everybody's waiting" said a female voice as the little peacock was looking through the items as a female Imp-sucubus hybrid dressed in a blue crop top and covered in black splotches and brown short shorts and blue sandles and sharp blue eyes and white/blue hair her name is Theia as she looked up sawed Octavia, Loona and Blitzo "Can you help me take this home I think the three of us together can make this easy" said Blitzo as he pocketed his wallet to grab the groceries as he noticed Theia "That girl is your age why not you go talk to her" said Blitzo to Octavia as Octavia blushed "Blitzo no" he said but Blitzo waved the hybrid "Hay! There you signal?" Asked Blitzo as Loona snickered as Octavia was blushing like mad.

Minutes later they were all walking home as Blitzo leanred Theias name and her little sister name was Kiki and what her family does "So Theia your family are citrus growers as well?" He asked "Yes" said Theia "Well I am glad that you are Octavias age, we just move here Octavia doesn't know anyone here" said Blitzo as Octavia moaned as they soon came to a view of the river and a stone bridge where several hellhounds, imps, sucubus, incubus and sinners that seem japanese style were on the edge of a bridge "Hay Theia! Over here" Yelled a imp as Blitzo smiled "Hay Theia, do you mind introducing Octavia to your group?" Asked Blitzo "Eh…are you sure?" Asked Theia as Blitzo looked at Octavia "Tia" said Blitzo softly as Octavia looked down nervous and unresponsive "Uh um" started Theia as Loona spoke up "Its fine were sorry Tia is shy" she said as Theia ran off "I'll see you around" she said "Come on Kiki" she said as the little bird ran followed "Please come visit if you want" said Blitzo "You are really trying to hard Dad" said Loona "Well I think Octavia needs to make normal freinds then those traitorous birds in the goitia" said Blitzo as Octavia stiffened recalling the goitias of her old home as Blitzo saw her reaction "Oh"

Soon they came to the boat area where Blitzo will take a boat to the mainland to do his classes to become a nurse as he said his good byes to his daughters "I made some rice balls and there is also a few puddings for lunch, Loona I hope you remember to eat as you work (Loona: I will dad)" said Blitzo "Why cant I go with you Blitzo? Or go with Loona?" Asked Octavia "Are you kidding you'll be bored in minutes, besides the phone guy is supposed to come to update our wiring" said Blitzo "Same with helping me as I look for a part time job" said Loona as Octavia sighed "Fine" she said "See you tonight" he said as he stepped into the boat as Loona and Octavia waved goodbye however a odd shadow dragon like human shape no bigger then a child, however no demon can see the creature except octavia who gasped in surprise and confusion as Blitzo waved goodbye…along with the dragon child as she was confused as she and loona watched there dad leave as the boat sailed away. Minutes later after Loona said her goodbyes to go job searching Octavia checked the fridge seeing the puddings and enjoying the rice balls her father made as she just laid on her side thinking about the shadow she saw "What was that? She whispered confused as she just laid on her back…and wiggled, doing something not royal as before and she wont admit out loud, there is a freedom to it as she slivered on her back as she slithered to the stairs to the attic…thinking about the book her…grandma Bella showed her.

Minutes later she went into the attic to read the old books a she read about the demons far diffrent then the normal hellborns of hell as she turned a page…but saw the drawing of the fox, ogre, Turtle, bear and Dragon…are gone

Male voice: ugg I'm so hungry I cant wait any longer

That made Alice confused as she looked around wondering where the voice was

Female voice: alright alright lets hit the kitchen

Child male voice: yay! Pudding pudding!

That made Octavia curious as she heard the sound of creaking on the ceiling where nothing is as Octavia was confused and worried…till the bell rang as she gasped panicking her heart thumping in her chest in shock. Minutes later Octavia stepped downstairs to allow the phone line repair person came in to do his job "Would you let your father know that the insulation charge will be paid on the next istalation or I supposed I can give him a call" said the repair as he walked off "Well have a nice day" he said leaving as octavia bowed in thanks but once alone "its always super loud" she said annoyed but got guarded hearing noises hearing it upstairs as she looked up and saw the attic door close "*Whispers* I left that open…" she muttered as she backed away as she looked around as she looked in the kitchen…and to her surprise saw open pudding cups empty as she fearfully gasped in shock as she was the only one in the house as she carefully walked over looking at the empty cups.

Smooth male voice: the rice cooker looks promising

Female voice: good maybe you can stop burning the rice in a pot

Smooth male voice: that is cold Chloe

As Octavia flinched hearing the voices 'someone broke in oh Fock'

Hearty strong voice: Octavia is around you know we cant peek into it

That really freaked Octavia out as they knew her names as she ran out of the house and across the street just to get away just as Marcus drove up "Octavia!" He yelled as the owl turned to look at the incubus who waved at her "You'll never believe it!" He yelled as Octavia saw five odd shadowy shapes as she gasped nearly screaming as the shadows seem to run after her as Marcus talked "guess what I made only four mistakes today! Pretty cool" He said proud he wasnt overly screwing up as Octavia didnt listen more scared at the shadows as she ran off down the street to get away confusing Marcus "or not…Cool" he said casually as Octavia ran down the street shocked at seeing the shadows and just didnt know what was going on as she ran into a slightly drty alleyway and down the curving paths of the town as she braced to stop from bumping into a elderly imp as she apologized but kept on running to get farther away from the house as she saw the shrine as she stumbled losing a sandle "Ahh" she said as she turned and saw the shadows didnt follow her as she seem to recover as she exhaled as she saw there was nothing and she felt safe…until she gasped seeing the shadows run past the shrine bumping into each other as if they found her as she backed away seeing them as they come closer into the shrine following her but tripped on each other as gaped as she quickly put on her sandle and ran off.

Minutes later she ran down more houses but they looked like stores but slowed down as she slowly got tired running panting in exhaustion reaching the point of collapse as she ran to a wall as she turned hopping the the shadows "That cant be real? I must be seeing something" she said leaning against the wall as she panted as she sat down "Great…where am I?" She asked panting some more as she heard a step as she gasped and ran around the corner and fell as she looked u seeing Theia carrying groceries "What are you doing here? Are you are ok?" Asked Theia. Minutes later they walked to the side of the river if you ever get lost again, just head to the sea this road circles around the entire island" she said as Octavia kept one ear open but looked over her shoulder nervous about the odd shadows "Follow it and it will take you home *Sees Octavia looking over her soulder* see something? She asked confused but Octavia shook her head no as she followed Theia as she pointed down a road "Your house is that there *points in another dirrection* this is where my house is" she said as there was awkward silence "Wanna see some Straw boats?" She asked making Octaia curious.

Minutes later Theia took her to her family garage as Octavia peeked for the odd shadows as Theia looked in her home "No ones here" she said cooly as Octavia looked at a boat made of straw, but the base of it, my grandpa on my carriers side makes these boats he must had stepped out for the day" she said as she then gestured to Octavia to follow her into a garage creation area as she turned on the light showing the final result as Octavia was in awe "take a look at this, this is the final result, this is what they look like when finished its pretty awsome huh?" She asked as Octavia nodded agreeing "He makes them for the Miajia festival they put them out at sea and then uh…*Stalls a bit* uh…*Rubs the back of her head* my grandpa is better at explaining it" she said "That's cool and really impressive" said Octavia which was true due to seeing something so new and amazing "I probably should get back *Sees her confused face* I promise my dad I meet him at the ferry, thanks for helping out…I got to go" she said with a soft smile as she walked off as Theia followed a bit "Hay Octavia want to go diving tommorow? I'm going with some freinds" She asked as Octavia just nodded and walked off to get to the Ferry as Theia just watched her leave as a elderly incubus biked up "Grandpa Magna *Walks up* where the heck are you, ugg I really could had used your help just now" she said confusing the old imp.

Minutes later as the sun set Octavia sat on a bench to digest what she saw and the day as she walked to the edge of the docks as she saw Blitzos boat come up. Minutes later after picking up Loona from her job as Octavia told them about what she heard

Blitzo: ok ok I'll check it for you

Loona seriously you are such a scary cat at times

As Blitzo opened the sliding door as he got annoyed "You didnt close the doors" said Blitzo as Octavia leaned close "Yeah because I was to scared" she said I had to run for my life" she said "Really? Who stalked you" said Loona as she and Blitzo were just pushed in "Me and loona are going" said Blitzo as he turned on the lights as he put down some groceries "How hard is it to lock the door seriously" he said "Hurry up!" Said Octavia scared as Blitzo gave a look "Sorry I mean please" she said as Loona and Blitzo stepped further in…

And while Octavia watched a humanoid no bigger then a 5 year old wearing a purple trench coat, has a purple dragon fhead with red eyes, white gloves, a purple ponytail and a pair of purple headphones around his neck stepped close to Octavia staring at her as the poor owl was distracted as the five year old Sinner? Studied Octavia…and tugged on her shorts which caused her to slowly look down…and see the smoke not the full dragon as she gasped in shock as she felt more tugging as if someone was there as she screamed loudly as Loona and Blitzo ran to the entrance "Sis what is going on?/Why are you screaming?" Asked Loona and Blitzo as they saw her hugging the door panicking "Something…something touched me!" She yelled pointing down at the dragon but neither Blitzo or Loona saw the dragon "I dont see anything" said Blitzo as the poor owl moaned "its there! *Points* its there!" She said shaking but both the imp and hellhound had a deadpanned look "There's nothing there" said Loona as Octavia slowly turned…and she was right there was nothing there much to her confusion as if the invisible dragon was gone as she stepped in to try to find the dragon,

Minutes later Octavia explained what happened and why she left the door unlocked "That's why I ran out of here so fast" said Octavia as Blitzo made a small japanese meal "You dont have to make excuses just lock the door behind you when you leave, next time" said Blitzo "Agreed, this isnt the Goitia valleys where servents can do it for you" said Loona "What about the pudding? Do you think I ate three puddings by myself?" Asked Octavia "Neither me or Loona are mad that you ate all the puddings" said Blitzo enjoying his food as Octavia looked around "There is defently something weird going on in this place" said Octavia "there isnt" said Blitzo thinking its just moving nerves for Octavia since she spend half her life in a manor like area "But its true" she said "Stop it that's enough I had enough of this nonsense" said Blitzo firmly as he continued his meal, the same with Loona as the poor owl moaned at it all.

"What now?" Said Blitzo calmly "Hay…can we go back to pride?" She asked as Blitzo was silent the same with Loona as seeing the real world of life…she understood why they had to move as Blitzo was calm "There nowhere to stay there" said Blitzo "We'll just find a new place there" said Octavia as she didnt want to stay in this island town "you'll get use to this place promise now hurry up and eat up now" said Blitzo as Octavia sighed and proceeded to eat the meal as she listened to Loona telling about her day along with Blitzo but Octavia didnt know what to say to her…dad…sister s she just picked at her food in silence with the chopsticks which blitzo noticed "Come on now spit it out" he said "its just that its just not fair leaving pride and living here that was your choice not mine" said Octavia "of course the choice was mine and I did ask but you said you didnt care" said Blitzo as Octavia hummed "I'm just saying, maybe I should get a say that's all, can we please just go back to pride already? I'm going crazy here" said Octavia "I doubt eating three puddings in one day is a sign that you are going crazy in this place" said Blitzo "I didnt eat them" said Octavia trying to defend herself "Then who did?" He asked as Octavia looked down

"Why dont you believe me?" She asked.

Minutes later now in PJs Octavia in protest just laid on the floor being stubborn as Blitzo picked her up to roll her onto the futon "Dad let me do that" asked Loona "No Octavia is my second daughter and I promised Stolas to bond and protect her" he said dragging her to the futon but fell on his tail on the pillow as he sighed and looked at the shrine with the photo of his late husband as he sighed "Stolas…I wish you were here to help" he said as in his heart he felt that Stolas left hell to early for Octavia.

Morning soon came as Blitzo prepared for his training as Loona brushed her fur "Since that Thelia invited you maybe you should join her" said Loona "I like that idea I bet you can make more new freinds" said Blitzo as Octavia just laid on her side on the futon uninterested "If you dont want to you can work on unpacking your stuff and prepare your room and doing your homework". Said Blitzo as Loona tied her hair into a ponytail ready to do her first day at work "Dont skip breakfast sis" said Loona as she and Blitzo ran out "Oh and Mom made lunch for you, ok bye" said Blitzo as he and Loona ran out as Octavia leaned up hearing the door closed and now she is all alone in a haunted house "Wait!" She said trying to call out to her 'dad' but it was to late as she sighed and then collapsed on her futon…what can she do in such a boring place…

Gruff male voice: Blitzo and Loona had just left! Ryua was suppose to watch Blitzo same with you Urataros to watch Loona get going

Smooth voice: were going were going

Kid voice: I'm hungry

Agressive voice: we will find food in town brat but we need to hurry

Female voice: wait where's Octavia?

That made Octavia flinch worried as she heard more voices

Agressive voice: last I checked she was still sleeping but seriously I am hungry if I dont get something to eat now, I will eat one of you

Female voice: Momo dont you dare!

Gruff voice: not if I eat you first

Hearing those voices made Octavia nervous who are these break inners as she carefully tried to sneak out as she snuck out but gahhed seeing Theia and the peacock girl as she was caught in a silly poise "Is that a new dance?" The little peacock "I hope not" said Thalia as Octavia nervously smiled as she looked into the home and dropped the poise "Sorry just reacting" she said as minutes later she was at the edge of the bridge area "This is Octavia she is totally weird but she's cool, say high" said the hybrid as several imps, hellhounds and mixed were there "Cool" said a hellhound "Nice to meet you" said a imp "your cool" said another imp as they all give compliments to the owl who was just nervous talking to them "Finally another girl in the group and you look really beautiful" said a female hybrid of a hellhound and a fish kin "This is great there are more boys then girls" she said "Oh…great" she said as Thelia grinned taking off her shirt revealing her braw top "last one in is a rotten egg" said Thalia as the others chased happily to the bridge as Thalia looked at the Owl and the peacock "Get ready its a bit high but dont be scared try not to think about it, just jump" said Thalia as they got on the edge of the bridge as Octavia took off her cloths revealing her bathing suit as she was surprised to see them jump off the bridge whooping in excitement and awe as they jumped down one by one as she looked over it "Its ok just watch *Gets on the ledge* just watch" said Thalia as she jumped as Octavia gasped as the hybrid jumped into the river as Octavia gasped watching how high it was "You can do it" said Talia as she took a breath and got onto the edge "dont think it" she said as she was splashed as she got her leg over the ledge watching and then changed her mind as she grabbed her shoes and put on her sandles as the peacock girl watched as Octavia walked away "Hay were your going?" Asked the girl as Octavia apologized and just walked off but picked up her speed.

Soon she got dressed and got home as she felt like she made a mistake to interact with these non goitias as it got cloudy as she continued down the path of the town as it soon started to rain as she quickly ran home and through the grave yard down a path to what looks like a small shrine to get dry. She had no words, living in this town and just all these demons…just why.

Female voice *Sighing* this rots

Confused Octavia looked around as thunder cracked in the air "If there is one thing I dont like about this place is the weather" said the female voice "Agreed sis its a pain the ass and loud and wet" said a rough male voice as Octavia turned and saw she was alone but was hearing a voice as there were more male voices "Plus annoyingly it ruins my cloths" said a female voice "you were the one who wore those kimonos because they are to heavy and wet" said the smooth voice as the shadowy silhouettes seem to solidify as Octavia blinked. "You are a kame-purvert" said the rough voice "you are immune to wetness you swim in that in the beach" said the rough voice as there was a grunt noice "You know those lightning spirits make annoying nosies and last time I check Momo-ji you attacked those spirits" as lightning flashed and cracked and illuminated the shadows revealing what they look like a several odd demons.

One that was female and the only female looked like a human with pale skin and blue eyes but she wants human as she had a pair of fox ears and 4 fox tails and a yellow kimono with black flowers and vines connecting them and was barefooted. This was Chloe a fox demon

One was a red oni like demon with black eyes and black markings with a leather jacket and a silver peach buckle. His name was Momotaros

One was a turtle like demon with hexagon like skin and amber eyes with a pair of glasses over his eyes. His name was Urataros

One was a bear like demon dressed as a wrestler who was resting snoring. His name was Kintaros

The last was the little five year old dragon like demon who was kicking his legs between Chloe and Momotaros watching the rain listening to music. His name was Ryutaros

These odd demons Octavia was just stunned they cant be sinners…no its impossible as Sinners cant cross out of the pride territory and this land is close to the borders of Envy as she winced her thoughts interrupted by a loud thunder crack "That is a loud one" said Chloe as the group solidified as Urataros pulled out a fruit "Ryua remember to eat your fruit you need the vitamans" said Urataros as the little dragon took it "Ok Ura" he said nibbling on it as Octavia saw a basket of fruits that looked like it belonged to a super market. "Well I'll tell you what is annoying that we all have to be self sufficient down here" said Momotaros annoyed "You know the rules Momo" said Kintaros "Yeah well the rules can suck it what is the point" said Chloe "You know we are all on punishment" said Kintaros "And last time its you and Momo-sempis fault" said Urataros as Chloe took one of the fruits along with Momotaros "They need to get over it or at least for Hawkmoth to get a sense of humor the same with that trans bitch Charlotte" she said as she and Momotaros looked at Octavia, as the others did the same staring at the owl who stared back frozen as Ryuataros studied as well…and decided to sit on her lap "Niii" he said cutely as that caused her to scream as the group flinched at the noise with Chloes ears folding back at that as she tossed Ryuataros off her as he fled in the rain home.

"Wellllll….it looks like she can see us" said Momotaros "No yah think you hot head" said Chloe "We are doomed" said Urataros "the people up there are gonna tan our…"started Kintaros but fell asleep…standing as Momotaros and Chloe slapped him awake.

Octavia has seen the sight of the yokai and she is confused and scared at the group.

Authors note: well that went well as Octavia struggles to connect with normal demons and has seen a taste of the yokai and why they are there? Will be revealed with time.

Next chapter she learns more about the yokai and there purpose of being in her new house
