On a schools roof, was a boy sleeping. As he slept a girl looked at him and smiled. They were Mari and Ryouta. Then suddenly a girl appeared. The girl was a beautiful, pet.i.te, young girl with big, blue eyes, long wavy brown hair with short fringes. her name is Ai Shindou. She is actually a good yokai that is under Ryouta protection at school."Ryouta..oh did I interrupt" she laughs and was about to walk away. when a boy appears.
"interrupt what?" The boy was Goro Honda. They play baseball together Ryouta is the catcher he is the pitcher. Ryouta likes playing left fielder too.
Ryouta opens his eyes and complains "d.a.m.n you Goro you messed up my date"
Mari eyes just blanked a few times and she sat up and screamed "YOU WERE UP"
Ryouta looks at her and says "I wanted to spend more time with you. I did just get back from my trip from Europe. "
Ryouta went to England to get actors to star in his Harry Potter movie. They were shocked to learn that Harry Potter was created by a kid but he proved them wrong.
Mair pouts "Yeah you didn"t even tell me. You missed my birthday. "
Ryouta was shocked "didn"t you get my birthday present"
Mari nodded but stamped her feet " I did but you should have been here. My brother took us to this really horrible amus.e.m.e.nt park."
"why would I want to go to a horrible amus.e.m.e.nt park. "
Ryouta thought for a second but before he could say something Goro says
"Hey are you going to practice after school"
Ryouta wanted to punch him so badly and Mari responded before him "no he"s busy today"
Goro tried to asks but received a glare and ran off
Ai looks at Ryouta and asks him "Ryo-san you look tired... have you been playing pokemon all night?"
Pokemon has started when Ryouta turned 10. Its really popular and is played everywhere.
Ryouta just looks into the sky and sighs "Today is my birthday and my family celebrated my 11th birthday"
Ai went up to him and was upset "Ryo-san why didn"t you tell me today was your birthday. ooh, I have to..I know at Home economics. " She runs off while thinking he will fall in love with her after eating her food.
It was just Mari and Ryouta on the roof. Mari looks at Ryouta and says "Your family is bothering you that much?"
"It"s not that. I love my family and they love me. My younger sisters are fine ... it"s my older sisters that are a problem. Also my new mom..." Ryouta just looked at his watch and sighs
Mari was confused "I don"t get it. Are they mean or something?"
Ryouta just looks at her and smiles and says "No they love me and treat me kindly. I just I"m not used to their over affection"
Ryouta couldn"t tell her he gotten 3 new older siblings and a new mother. the twins Ako and Riko aren"t bad but Shizuka is a true bro-con and the new mom. The old man just married her because he old her deceased husband a favor so its just for protection.
There was silence between the two and Mari finally breaks it "Ryo-kun today"s the day huh. Today you become a pro shogi player"
"I guess it isn"t that big of deal" Ryouta acting like he isn"t happy
She puts her hands on her hips "Please you"re going to be the youngest shogi player...well that is they let you" Ryouta felt like he was cut"Arent you always late" He felt that cut again " Plus aren"t you too good at never losing. What if they decide that you need some time to grow humble"
Mari words caused Ryouta to feel like he was stabbed multiple times. She realized that and just smiles
"Mari don"t scare me like that. I still need to win and there is no such thing as a guaranteed victory"
She just shook her head but then went in front of him asking "Ryo-Kun I didn"t think you"d be back so soon so I didn"t get you a present..." She looks down" is there anything you want"
Ryouta smiles and kissed her cheeks which causes her face to turn red "that is all I wanted for my birthday.
Mari couldn"t even say words. Ryouta just said "that was my first kiss. I wanted to give it to you"
Mari was just in a dazed until she heard the bell that got her back "da da bell go let"s go. I go first " She ran holding her cheeks.
Ryouta just smiled as she left but then stopped smiling and said "Come out Botan"
"haha, you lied to her that wasn"t your first kiss. Your sister took your first kiss but it was on the lips."
Ryouta covers his body and says "Stalker stalking me"
Her eyes twitch "Its not fault I saw them kissing you. I just wanted to see you"
"Whatever you say shotacon" Ryouta then got series "So really whats the problem
She wanted to spank this boy but knew he would be like I need help a stalker is trying to take my first...he did that before "Kazuma there is a yokai causing havoc."
Ryouta who opened one of his eyes "oh and what is this yokai doing? tell me about him"
Botan looked into his eye and responded "His name is Gagoze. When he was alive, he committed evil deeds and, after death, he became a ghost and attacked youngsters at the temple where he had been buried. He is known as a yōkai who kidnaps and devours children"
Ryouta went silent for a moment and said "Alright I will handle him. It s just I have to go to my shogi match so I will handle him after"
Botan couldn"t understand how shogi was more important than people lives. "oh there is one more thing. He is wanting to be the next heir of the Nura clan. Gagoze and the members of the Gagoze Alliance are seeking to kill Rikuo. You should have looked up the information concerning him right. You know he is your brother."
Usually, Ryouta would respond like a stalker or something but he was silent.
Botan knew that Ryouta wanted nothing to do with that clan but she is the reason he is forced to. Ryouta needed to work for them.
Ryouta for the first time opens both eyes and says " I only have one brother and he is training with gramps." He turns away to walk but before he walks out of the roof Botan says
"Kazuma your eye getting redder...try to suppress yourself." Ryouta stopped for a moment but then walked off the roof.
She stares at the direction Ryouta went and thinks "did I say to much?"
As Ryouta was in cla.s.s he thought of everything he researched concerning the Nura clan.
The Nura Clan are the biggest yōkai faction in j.a.pan. They were first formed during the Sengoku Era. They are a yakuza yōkai group with Nurarihyon as their leader and use the character for fear as their symbol. There are about ten thousand yōkai who are considered members of the Nura group, divided into about 70 sub-clans. The group itself has been in decline since the death of the second head, Rihan Nura was killed.
The Nura Clan protects the Land G.o.ds under them. In return, the offerings and the Fear the Land G.o.ds gather all go to the Nura Clan.
Ryouta just looks out the window and asks himself...what is a family.
