{Rikuo POV}

Ryouta: Let"s show them why they call us Devil may cry

Hyakki Yagyō: Yeah

Rikuo: I see we have the hardest mission" he looks and sees tons of Yokai coming out of the gate"

Tsurara who by his side nods

Tsurara: Are you sure about this?

Rikuo thinks back

------------------

A few days ago

Setsuna appears before the Nurariyon asking for aid.

Nurariyon: So you"re saying that a person named Ryouta is asking for my help?

Setsuna: Yes, He said he can"t fight the enemies by himself. So he sought help from the strongest Yokai

Nurariyon laughed proudly

Gyuki who is the brains of the Nura clan spoke up

Gyuki: You said he is an exorcist correct? "which she nodded" Then Why is he asking for our help? Is he trying to get rid of the Supreme one?

Setsuna: No he wouldn"t do a thing like that

Gyuki: You seem to speak up for him...you haven"t fallen for him have you?

He gave Setsuna a meaningful look and she went red and the room was getting colder

Setsuna: N-n-no I haven"t...he has helped many yokai out.

Rikuo: who is that guy your speaking of

Rikuo who was at the meeting spoke up

Setsuna hesitates for a moment, thinking of what she should say. Gyuki notices her slight pause

Setsuna: he is your upper cla.s.smate Ryouta

Rikuo: Huh, are you serious...wait is he an exorcist?

Setsuna: Kind of...he deals with harmful Yokai but doesn"t bother nonharmful ones...Also, he doesn"t kill yokai. He sends them back to the underworld...

she looks at Nurariyon and said

Setsuna: he is also the owner of Mononokean

This shocked all the elders in the room

Rikuo and the younger and weaker Yokai were confused

Rikuo: Mononokean?

The supreme commander looks at his grandson and responded

Nurariyon: It"s a yokai which has the ability to travel anywhere...The owner of it is said to be an exorcist for the demons sake...

Seeing Rikuo still confused Gyuki finishes up

Gyuki: Young master, think of him as a cop for yokai. If they are bad he will hunt them down, if they are good he will help them out...if they are too weak to handle things he will help them out. However, if he finds them menacing he will get rid of them for good.

After a bit of silence, Setsuna spoke up

Setsuna: This will affect the world. Their goal is to destroy the world and create a new one...this doesn"t just include killing the humans but every creature even Yokai will be erased

Rikuo: Then I will go help him out

Everyone in the room was silent

Nurariyon: So do you plan to go alone

He said drinking his tea

Rikuo: grandpa I request the h.o.a.rd of 100 demons to join me in this fight

Nurariyon was shocked for a moment and before he could respond


Rikuo: I don"t know why but my blood is boiling right now. Thinking about losing everything makes me anxious but running away doesn"t seem right...

Nurariyon agreed to lend him his h.o.a.rd...

Rikuo left to prepare and Setsuna stayed behind. The only ones left in the room with her was Gyuki and the Supreme Commander

Gyuki: So who is the boy? I know you went investigating him

Setsuna wasn"t shocked by him knowing and looks at Nurariyon

Setsuna: he is The second"s child and the Supreme commander, grandson

Gyuki was shocked for a moment then remember the ways of Rihan in his youth

Nurariyon looks at her for a moment and ask

Nurariyon: ...so who is the mother?

Setsuna: Wakansama...as for why he doesn"t live here...that I do not know

Nurariyon:...Gyuki keep an I on the boy..." he rubs his chin" I"m interested in meeting this boy

-----------------------------

Gyuki: Young master now isn"t the time for reflecting there are many yokai around. You are the commander here so you have to give out orders

Gyuki said cutting a master level Yokai like paper. Gyuki scolding snaps Rukuo back into the battlefields.

Rikuo then starts fighting

A huge monk yokai was stomping enemies left and right. He sees a giant ox yokai and grabs it by the horn crushing it. that person was Aotabō

Another location another Yokai was fighting. He had the appearance of a handsome monk wearing a straw hat. He got surrounded by 10 or so yokai but suddenly they weapons appeared out of his body this person was Kurotabō

Kejōrō who saw this whistled thinking"everyone seems to be full fighting today

She then shoots her hair out killing tons of yokai. then using her fans kills a yokai that was appearing from the ground

A big yokai came from the sky and trying to attack her by surprise. however, it was instantly killed with string by a yokai who"s head is floating in the air.

Kubinashi: Not like you to not pay attention like that. You almost got recked by that giant yokai

He said with the string he used to kill in his mouth

Kejoro: oh sorry I saw Ryouta fighting and thought he was amazing

Kubinashi: Ryouta? the one who looks like the second? where is he

She didn"t say anything

As they were fighting a giant man came out of the gate

He was emitting a huge energy

Rikuo was shocked

Rikuo: what is this...is this yokai aura

Gyuki who took a blunt of the malice energy shook his head

Gyuki: no its killing intent...he has killed many people before

Rikuo: Well I can"t let this guy have his way! Rikuo walked up to him

Gyuki: wait, young master,

He tried to go after him but a man blew fire at his back hurting him...

As he was blasted he turns and sees a man

Man: h.e.l.lo I am a monk. I have come to slay you evil yokai. I am Renkotsu. all your evil deeds will be cleansed by me!

Gyuki looks and sees Renkotsu is a bald adult male. He has purple marks that run up each side if his face and a pointed mark in the middle of his forehead. He is apparently able to conceal the marks and enlarge the irises/pupils of his eyes

After a moment he recalls a story of seven warriors who are some of the most powerful warriors in the world. They were humans as powerful as the strongest Yokai... leader was the strongest. who makes the others look like ants...they were ultimately sealed away by a celestial at a huge cost to him. Renkotsu was said to be the second in command and the strategist of the group.

Gyuki: I know who you are... I know that even though you look pure and have a pure aura you"re a monster who eats human children to extend your life.

Renkotsu: haha so you realize it was me. I"m surprised my name is well known to such a little boy like you. Man but I don"t eat them to extend my life...I just love seeing babies humans, Yokai and all other creatures dying.

Gyuki prepares his weapon. He knows the people coming out are weaken from their transfer. but this guy...weaken is still a monster

Suddenly a blizzard goes attacking Renkotsu

Shocking him and Renkotsu

Setsuna: remember Yokai don"t fear anything

Gyuki twitch responding " I wasn"t scared I was worried about the young master"

---------------------

Rikuo goes to the huge creature and looks it up and down

The big yokai? looks at Rikuo and licks it lips

big yokai?: I am Kyōkotsu. You two look very tasty which one of you wants to be eaten first.

The big yokai? said looking at Rikuo and Tsurara

He saw Kyōkotsu has spiky dark green hair and bloodshot, beady eyes. Under his eyes are a pair of dark blue stripes. He has teeth that are rather sharp, jagged, and near demonic in appearance. His most distinct physical characteristic is his abnormally large body; his body is such a size most likely because he has devoured many yōkai and his body mutated as a result

Rikuo: I"m sorry but I won"t let you. Today you will die

Kyokotsu: haha little boy. These words were said all my life and all of them ended up in my belly

Rikuo frowned and ready his blade and swung it attacking him but he has easily blocked the blade with his fist and punched with the same hand sending him crashing into a wall.

Tsurara: Young master

She attacks Kyokotsu with her Ice breath while moving towards Rikuo

Kyokotsu: haha what was that. cold air, haha. Are all of you yokai gone so weak

Tsurara glares at him

Rikuo is struggling to get up, but when he sees him approaching he grabs Tsurara and blocks him from harming her with his body and they are sent far away. Tsurara falls from his hands and then Tsurara quickly fires her icicles at him but he slowly walks towards Tsurara and Rikuo treating them like babies

Kyokotsu: haha you yokai always do the same trick. You"re always one trick ponies...haha I love seeing the look on you yokai faces when you have fear on your faces.

Rikuo who finally gets up looks confuse

Rikuo: what are you talking like you"re not a yokai

Kyokotsu: haha I"m not. I"m human...I just eat yokai and humans. Which gives me power...haha I love their bodies and the taste of their flesh. I love eating them alive. Seeing their look as they know they"re going to die asking for me to just kill them, hahaha

Rikuo who heard this shook him...A human.A human but why. why is he doing this

Kyokotsu: haha look at your face. did you think I was a yokai? HAHAHA nope, I"m a human...

Rikuo didn"t know what he should do...should he fight this guy is a monster but he"s human...A second ago his sword was talking to him but now it"s silent

Suddenly kyokotsu arm was coming fast at Rikuo when a bunch of paper came blocking his attack which startled the giant man

Anita and her two sisters came in front of him

Anita turns and looks at him. and yells

Anita: what are you standing around for. you almost got killed because you lost focus

She then turns running on the arm using her paper to cut one of the arms off

he just takes the arm and attaches it and laughs but suddenly the other two attack with tons of paper birds and once that was done the eldest trapped him in a giant paper ball

Anita looks at him

Rikuo:but he-hes human

Anita goes up to him and punches him in the face

Anita: look around and look at what he did. Your friend almost died and look at your other friends. You think he"s human...no he is a monster wearing human skin...are you going to let your family die?

Anita is the type of person..after meeting Ryouta who views friends as a family so when she think as someone as her friends...a true friend she thinks of them as her family so she thinks everyone thinks the same way as her.

Rikuo looks at the girl his age and slowly gets up. Then he heard a voice in his head...it was Ryouta

Ryouta: First sense the flow of energy then release the power going bam gya whoose

Rikuo:...

Ryouta: First inject your aura into your blade

Rikuo did and the sword changed shape shocking him

The paper sisters shocked at the changed of the weapon. the giant was tired of the paper and decided to destroy it but to his surprise, it was stronger than it looks

Ryouta: find the rift, or scar, between two auras of Tessaiga"s wielder and the opposing person. Once the rift is found, the wielder of Tessaiga can swing the sword into the rift, releasing a powerful energy wave that has the power attack.

Rikuo saw a rift and hesitate to continue

Ryouta notices this and says

Ryouta: Oh he"s not living anymore...he"s not a human anymore he"s a ghost...

Rikuo: what? but that"s huh?

Ryouta: don"t worry about his form it"s complicated just do your attack

Rikuo focuses on the scar and he yelled at the girls to release the paper. he then swung at the giant attacking him. Rikuo screams his attack

Rikuo: WINDSCAR

And a bunch of wind like attacks came attacking the giant. It was said that with a windscar it could slay a hundred demon with a single slash.

With that attack Rikuo destroyed all but part of the giants head...he didn"t see that a figure came out of nowhere grabbing the giants head

the figure then called the second in command to come back

-------------------------------

Renkotsu who is fighting two powerful yokai frowns. All three of them are powerful. He is going all out but he isn"t able to get an advantage...he feels that even if he was a full strength he would lose. suddenly he gets a call from the commander and he flys to the gate

Gyuki squints his eyes as he sees him going back to through the gate..

Setsuna: why did he go back?

Gyuki: he was summoned back

he then heard him say we are the weakest of all of the seven. The others are leagues above us and the commander...he makes us look like ants

---------------------------------

Renkotsu: commander why did you summon us back

Commander: Well, I feel that we should wait till we"re at full power...the true strongest were watching in the background if they were to attack we would have died...well you guys would have

The bodiless giant spoke

giant: they are lucky I was in my weakest power...if I was in my full they would be dead already...but that sword was scary...

the commander didn"t say anything and looked at his second in command and squints and sees he wasn"t even a little injured...but he looked like he was struggling..

commander: "I wonder when you will betray me"

-------------------------------

Rikuo is exhausted along with the girls.

Eldest sister: wow that was hard. Helping everyone was tough

Middle sister: hmm I wonder if Ryouta will be alright

Anita: we can"t rest we have to huh what"s in the sky

Rikuo who was thinking where did Ryouta go when he heard his voice looked in the sky and saw two things falling to the ground one was Ryouta"s left hand and the other was an injured Kitarou

Rikuo ran over to him along with Anita and the sisters

Rikuo: what happens

Anita: what happened to Ryouta...

Kitarou was pa.s.sed out, along with daddy eyeball in his hands

an injured cat girl walked over to them. the kitarou family were helping the other yokai

Neko-san: Ryouta what happen to him

Daddy eyeball: He lost his arm to save Kitarou...Kitarou almost lost himself to rage when Ryouta Sent him over back...

Rikuo: then he"s alright?

Daddy eyeb.a.l.l.s: close your eyes and see

they did and they saw Ryouta and ...Baki fighting an injured Nanashi smiling

The people who were awake saw this too
