This is gonna be a long one it's like 2584 words I think. The information will be about Ryou's body before he died.
Have a good read.
————————————-
After the long meeting yesterday I woke up groggily just before realizing I couldn't get up.
I definitely don't remember falling asleep like this at all. Currently I am being held in what feels like a chokehold by Tsurara who's is surprisingly not too melted.
Worst of all she's awake, and I don't know if I should expose that or not. Her breathing is too quick for a person really asleep.
"Uh Tsu, I need to go to school." After quietly whispering that she released me turning around in the futon making a big show of how they are just waking up.
"Oh..good morning young master you weren't hot right?" Bruh. Well I guess I asked her to do this so whatever it works for me.
"Nope, now I need to get ready or Kana's gonna yell at me." I say getting dressed as quickly as possible.
Soon the door was opened by Aotobo who looked at me, looked at Tsurara, and just went wide eyed before closing the door.
The moment I turned around Tsurara had already left and I could hear her yelling while Aotobo laughed his heart out.
O-Kay. Either way today is the day Gyuki or whatever makes some move, or in another case he could do nothing and just let me take the leadership position.
Regardless of it he will not be in my parade. I don't need useless men like that in any powerful standing.
Leaving the house after my daily routine of chasing gramps something different happened. I saw someone I had never seen before and immediately knew they were of some importance.
It was a girl with white hair in some schools uniform with a parasol staring into a hospital. Seeing this two things flagged in my mind one being that they had white hair, and just as importantly there was a massive difference in the air surrounding them. Like if I got too close I could be swept up in it and never come back.
So of course I- "What's up?" Although my voice alerted them of my presence they turned around like they could tell I was there long before. "…" I could feel them looking me up and down trying to tell something.
"Sorry just wanted to talk to you, because I've never seen you around. What are you looking at?" Crouching down beside her and looking inside I see her staring at someone getting a blood transfusion.
I could feel her eyes on me even without turning to look. She looks…wild.
White hair, red eyes, parasol, watching blood transfusion…she's a vampire huh. No wonder she keeps staring at me like she's gonna attack me. They are probably starving or hungry.
Through the silence I point towards my arm and say "I already can tell. Do you want some food?" Of course just instantly referencing this puts her on guard causing her to jump back and narrow her eyes.
"How did you know?" She looks at me knowingly, and instead of trying to hide it or being surprised she just looks like caring isn't possible for her. Almost like she didn't care if I found her secret.
"Calm down. I know plenty of youkai and so I may just be desensitized to these kind of things. Always liked to help others who interest me and you seem unique." I grinned having confirmed my suspicions.
She stares at me without an ounce of trust in her eyes, so I continue. "Promise, I won't do anything. You can drink my blood and the only payment is I want to be friends so we can talk more." I vow honestly, after all getting to know an obviously important person will make my life much more fun.
The girl stares at me before taking small steps towards me, the pressure increasing with every step.
By the time she reaches me it has gotten harder to breathe and my muscles tense up reactively. She takes up my arm bringing it up to her face slowly as thought she's waiting for me to tell her to stop.
I nod my head and she sinks her fangs into my arm. The pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be, and feels more like a needle going in.
After 2-3 minutes she releases my arm breathing out heavily while staring at me with confusion in her eyes.
"Your blood..it tastes interesting. Very tasty, however I cannot place a flavor to it. What is wrong with you?" I laugh at her statement and just stand up in response.
"I don't know, maybe you'll figure that out now that we're friends. So on Saturday's at the park down the street, we can meet at 3:00. I'll make sure to show up every time." Speeding up the conversation I wave goodbye to her while running off to school.
You gotta leave people in suspense and wanting more if you want them to care…I think?
After getting close enough to the school I slow down into a brisk walk. No point of running if I'm already late right?
Taking the time to check things I didn't already I saw a message attached to Quests.
Hello user, you have been issued a quest by a higher being. The information has been dropped into your quest box, Goodbye.
I mean I was gonna check quests anyway so this doesn't change much.
Spring cleaning
A quest issued by the system to handle Gagoze's plan without dying. No information on his plan may be provided.
Reward:Orb lottery ticket
Accept/Deny
Transfer student
A quest issued by a God wanting you to transfer from your school into Kuoh academy before high school begins.
Reward:Equipment ticket
Accept/Deny
Woah that's kinda a lot. I don't have much attachment to my school besides Kana, so that should be easy. Not to mention the quest proves that Gagoze didn't just give up the position. Accept both.
There was a dinking like the sound of a coin being put into an arcade game, and the menu automatically closed. Well, time to prepare for the worst.
Throughout the entire school day I stayed vigilant of my surroundings, what I ate, even making sure not to allow anyone bump into me or touch me for any reason.
Soon the day passed without anything happening, and I began getting annoyed from the lack of anything.
"Are you okay?" Kana stared at me likely because I didn't talk to her all day. Just as we're getting onto the bus I remember that they're all just normal humans here.
"Uh yea. I think I'm gonna walk home today. Feel like something bad might happen if I get onto the bus." With that I step off the stairs and wave before heading off to the house.
After a few minutes I see Karasu flying frantically through the air towards me. Screaming "There you are! I knew it was taking too long for you to get home."
He swoops down picking me up by my bag and flying me back home.
"What do you mean? It's literally just 2 minutes after school ended." He stays quiet but I can see a embarrassed, and relieved look on his face.
Not long after he puts me down at the house and everyone is running around crazily talking about me.
"You found him!" Aotabō runs up to Karasu before yelling to the house "He's safe!" What…there's no damn way.
Ignoring Karasu questioning Aotabō, I begin pushing through people to look for the tv. Finally making through the crowd of Youkai it says clearly on the news.
"Terrible cave in accident near a tunnel in Ukiyoe town trapping, and possibly crushing a school bus." Before going on to talk about how strange the accident was.
Aotabō grabs me strongly before crying real tears saying "Young master Ryou I was so worried!" Just before hearing from behind him "I was more worried than you!" Yelled out by the other Assault officer Kurotabou.
That cowardly dumbass! He could have at least had someone watch me to be sure I would be there. I have to go get Kana, and I guess everyone else too.
"Aotabō, Kurotabou let's go! We're going to save Kana." I begin walking swiftly towards the door of the house.
"Oh, alright young master!"
"That's all I needed to hear Young master." Said Aotabō and Kurotabou respectively.
"Halt!" A coarse voice spoke from behind us.
Even before turning around I knew it was Mokugyo.
"You cannot do a thing like this! Going to help humans is…is…preposterous!" This old bastard.
"Do you think we Youkai can just obey you with such ideals?! You think that I would allow you to lead out an army of demons out for something like this?" He declared almost as though it would change anything to me.
Aotabō steps over rearing his fist preparing to fight "Lord Daruma, Young Master is our leader. Watch your disrespect!" I grab Aotabō's arm before they fight and challenged Mokugyo.
"Allow? What will you allow? Would you be making these complaints if it were my father standing here today? Understand this Daruma, I will not tolerate insubordination from someone like you." Something was wrong. I could feel it, I could feel my blood heating up as I became angrier and angrier.
"If you have such an issue with how I lead my people. Then come down here and kill me for it."
-3rd person-
The pressure of Fear emanated over the entire home as Ryou's eyes changed to a much sharper look with their already unique blue and black hair growing longer to the point of almost reaching the ground.
Mokugyo began sweating feeling the pressure of Ryou's blood awakening.
"I don't have time for this Mokugyo, I have to protect what's mine. Don't bother following me, stay and hope I perish before getting to you." With that he turned away quickly walking towards the exit before speaking out in a unnaturally low and deep tone.
"Aotabō, Kurotabou." And instantly they appeared beside him alongside their respective assault teams.
"Of course Master, we will follow you!" Aotabō screamed out alongside Kurotabou's cold voice "Of course I had that intention all along." Gaining a small smile from Ryou at their antics.
Mokugyo reaches after Ryou pleading "Master please wait!" Before being stopped by Kubinashi, the nukekubi.
"Lord Mokugyo, I believe this may have been an assassination attempt. And I believe it will be in your best interest to stay here." Before speeding off behind Ryou.
-1st person-
Jumping from building to building almost the entire house of Nura follows behind me at my command.
With such a big family I'll have to get strong enough to protect them. But that's all for the futur, right now all I care about is killing that bastard.
Appearinf in front of the wreckage a fog appears in the area stopping some people from seeing us, although there are still many who yell out monster or something of the sort.
"Aotabō." He pops up beside me looking ahead at the cave in and then back towards me.
"Knock it down."
-3rd person-
Inside the tunnel the children hide inside the bus looking outside as monsters begin surrounding the bus.
"Lord Gagoze, we cannot find Ryou." Kana hearing this looks through the glass anxiously.
"Dammit where is that brat!" At the same moment the rocks are blown through crashing all around the bus and Gagoze's men.
"Brat?! Master Ryou let me freeze him to death!" Tsurara yells from behind the smoke.
"No. I will handle Gagoze myself, as for the rest of them-" The smoke clears as the moonlight shines through showing off each youkais silhouette.
"Exterminate them." Each member of the house vanished spawning a chorus of screams in entirely different sections inside Gagoze's army.
Aotabō rushes towards multiple different youkai bashing their heads in with his fist before grappling one and slamming other with them.
Kurotabou stares down an entire team of youkai bringing out multiple different weapons from his right sleeve only to swing his left releasing a weighted chain bashing multiple into the wall of the tunnel.
Snow trickles into the tunnel as Tsurara skates around breathing cold air onto many youkai instantly freezing them to death.
Ryou watch Gagoze without taking his eyes of him while listening the destruction of Gagoze's personal army.
Just as Ryou blinks a giant Oni appears in front of him with their hammer raised to crash into their head .
"Kubinashi. They're spoiling my view." Just as their hammer swings down they vanish with the only evidence of their existence being a red mist blowing into the wind.
"My apologies Young master." They say recalling their strings after cutting the Oni into nothing.
With the interruption handled he begins slowly walking towards Gagoze.
Gagoze tenses up preparing to dash into a slash, but he doesn't get the chance as Ryou vanishes from his position appearing behind him.
"Hm, this body is much faster than my last, and that's saying a lot. If this was me beforehand your head would be gone." Ryou said threateningly.
Gagoze looked at him with confusion, but before he could ask for answers his right eye went dark. Looking down he could see the remains of his eye on the floor beneath him.
"UGAHHH!" Gagoze lets out a pained screech before looking up to see blood dripping from Ryou's sharp nails.
"I-I'll kill you" Gagoze speeds over to Ryou swinging his claws at him.
Ryou ducks under his swipe and followed up my punching him in the liver before sidestepping onto the side of Gagoze's blind eye.
Gagoze swings his hand over there instinctively hitting something and sending it flying. Looking over he sees his attack landed and sent Ryou flying into the bus.
Almost like it gave him an idea Gagoze rushes over to the bus his claw preparing to pierce into Kana while Ryou was recovering.
"Keep your hands off of her." With a quick recovery Ryou stands and sends his foot into Gagoze's side causing him to keel over.
"I don't get it! How are you so strong, no human has ever feared you! I am the most terrifying being in this town!" Gagoze yelled out gaining the attention of all the Nura clan who had already finished their fights.
Ryou looks down at him and laughs condescendingly.
"Yes you are definitely terrifying." He says slowly.
"THEN HOW-" Cutting him off Ryou continues.
"To humans. You are most definitely terrifying to humans. But as a Youkai..?" A smirk appears on his face as he crouched down grabbing Gagoze's head.
"You're just a bitch. What Youkai could fear a man who can only dream to kill children. Now die and let your blood signify the Nura clans revival." In a short instance Ryou pierces Gagoze's head with his sharp claws.
Dropping him onto the floor Ryou makes an proud declaration "Everyone here today has displayed their loyalty, and will forever be under my protection! Tonight we have won because of you!" Cheers respond through the tunnel leaving the children speechless.
"Young master i don't know how much longer we can stop the police!" Said a Youkai transformed into a human.
Ryou raises his hand, and the moment he closes it they all escaped through the back of the tunnel at varying speeds.
Ryou picks up Kana, and quickly rushes from the tunnel with his family.
