Chapter 3: Arc 1(Kyoto) Chapter 1

As the moon shine brightly across the night sky of Kyoto thing start to move again after the tension that pauses during the day blow up full steam. The drum of war rang, the Ayakashi becoming active as the twilight passed by, So was the Youkai that are ready to strike and take their city back.

" Yo! Yuuki-boy ready for another war? " The 1st supreme commander asks.

" Yeah... I guess so." He shrugged and continued. " What with Japan's moonlit side lately Oldman? We are almost in constant trouble as much as the devil and the fallen. " The onmyoji said to him with a tired voice.

" Haha! Well, here is what I thought Yuuki-boy. The new era is upon us the chaos that happens now is the stage to let this generation challenge it and surpass us to lead our people to a brighter tomorrow. " The old youkai said with a thoughtful tone.

" Hmm... So I guess this is what my father thinks too. I do not believe that something like Hagoromo Gitsune can heavily injure him to the point of leaving the commanding of the clan to Harutora-kun, even if he is the reincarnation of our greatest leader. " He answers afterthought about the situation so far.

" That's how it is boy. I let Rikuo lead for years now for preparing him as a true supreme leader of the eastern youkai. Even our people are more easily managed than the humans some harden experiences are better than non, especially there's still some that unsatisfied for him having the human blood well more than Rihan." The old youkai answered with a somber tone.

" Hah... I guess I have to let mine go explore the world more then... " Then he starts thinking about his son who seems to be able to handle a lot of things that throw at him, but somehow lacks the ambition to pursue.

" Haha Guess your Ayaka is the carefree type. Huh... Well, Rihan is also like that until he met her, his first wife Yamabuki Otome who make him went serious about a unification of our kind during the Edo era. ....Sadly she is a youkai, so things did not go well for them, and went separated way afterward. Maybe this is why he let her kill him even as being processed by Hagoromo. " The old youkai said in sobering and acceptance.

" What you gonna do with her now Oldman? From what I heard she's more your daughter-in-law than the mother of Nue now. Do you gonna accepted her back into the clan?" He asks in curiosity.

" I do not know Yuuki-boy... I'll let Rikuo decide whether he gonna accepted her back or not. " The old youkai answered while looking at the full moon that shone its light onto the city.

Then he look at the onmyoji again this time with a smirk." Hah... Enough about that! Where's your son now? I have seen him getting along well with little Kunou during dinner. Well does the Tsuchimikado want the youkai side back into its rank now? Haha."

" It's not about that Oldman. Ayaka, he... did not have friends of the same age as much. And back in Kuoh, there's only a younger one that he looks after and talks to from time to time, but that is it. Hah... He did not even go to school like normal and somehow went on his own to get the diploma suddenly one day after he said that school is an annoying place to be. Haa..." He let out all of that and sigh with a tired face.

" Hmm... Sound like that would be the same for Rikuo if he were on his youkai side all the time. Well my condolence Yuuki-boy, but what do you want from him anyway? " The old youkai chuckle then ask in curious.

"...I and Yuuka saw him look bored all the time growing up Oldman. The only time I've seen him excited for something is when I brought him to Tokyo after the outbreak and watch him let loose on the rogue and the Ayakashi. " He said with a concerned tone.

" Sound rough... Anything else? " The old youkai said his condolence and ask for more detail. " ...He did not even fringe or react while taking human life Oldman... Is it because of his youkai side? Or the Kami? I do not understand... Worse is I saw him smile while sliding them into pieces the Ayakashi and Rogue alike. " He confesses what he sees wrong in his son.

" He got a bloodlust? Or is it a thirst for fighting? Is his kitsune side a Yako? " The old youkai ask for confirmation.

Yako is the kitsune of earth or earthly foxes known to be an evil spirit like the Oni and has a thirst for blood and fighting unlike the Zenko the celestial foxes and benevolent spirits like Yasaka, Hishamaru, and Kunou. that has benevolent nature, But in the end, both are the spawn of Inari Okami, unlike Nue that already been corrupted by the essence of Yomi and became an Ayakashi.

" I have no idea Oldman you'll have to see for yourself when he comes out. " He said in a somber tone. "..."

The Nurarihyon only has a thoughtful expression and just shrugs and decides to wait for the onmyoji spawn to show up. And the two went around to speak with others around the yard.

Back in the room of the Amatsuki family, there's a silhouette of someone standing in front of the full-body mirror looking at his no her appearance with a sobering face and voicing out her complaint and her voice sounds clear and gentle like a summer chime but also have a hint of an energetic wipe.
.
.
.
" Why did I have big tits in this form? Is this necessary? Like, come on Tsukuyomi's form is only C cup at best! This is like D or is it D++? Too damn big for a balance of my fighting style. " I grumble in front of the mirror while observing and touching my own body. Don't judge me you guys would do it too if you have a body like mine!

The mirror shows the appearance of a girl in her late teen with an hourglass body a voluptuous hip and thigh with healthy white skin like pure jade clear off any pubic hair showing her slit in a clean state and a well-round breast with a pale pink nipple. And on top of that, she also has a beautiful face and gives a serene feeling like that of a goddess. She has long pure silver hair that reflects the light from the moonlight presently and sapphire blue eyes that shine like a blue moon.

" These ears and tails are fluffy, but it did not give me the sense of fulfillment like when I touch Kunou's, so I guess I can't really evade that addiction ain't I? " I look at the fox ears on my head that flop down showing my emotion clearly as I pat my 7 tails on my back.

" Well, I been standing here like an idiot for 15 minutes, aren't I? Time for a speed change! " I then snap my finger and let the magic circle pass through my body from top to bottom in a flash.

And now I am wearing a silver kimono with a Ginko leaf pattern on it and a shadow color hakama with a sword belt hanging my tachi with it. The cloth hugs my body perfectly showing its curve, well too much if you ask me. " Good! now I'm set. " I spun around to test my movement and nodded to myself preparing to leave.

I then pull out my tachi to observe its condition and swing around a bit. " Alright let's go. " I retrieve the blade back to its sheath and then went out of the room to the yard where the force have gather.
.
.
.
After I reach the yard and look for my father I feel the gaze of people start to look in my direction and either stun or confuse by my appearance. My ears probably flop up in alert now huh... even with my face remaining neutral. Is this what it is like to be a cooldere character? I shook my head at the thought and then see my father talking with the leaders near the teleport relay, so I went there in a hurry because the gaze start to feel a bit uncomfortable for me.

" Dad! Sorry for the wait it takes a bit longer to adapt to this body. Haha. " I greet him and chuckle a bit.

People just look at me then my father in confusion and Yasaka gaze at my father with disappointment. But there are still some that get who I am like Nura Rihon that laughed loudly upon seeing my appearance. And Harutora nodded to himself scratching his eyepatch while staring at Hishamaru by his side and me.

" Hahaha! so this what you meant huh Yuuki-boy! " He taps my father's shoulder while still laughing.

Others start to look at him and my father for answers. " Well, Ayaka we decide to go to Nijo castle first then dispatch from there. Also, I need to take your picture again or else Yuuka won't be pleased sorry. " He explains the situation briefly and apologizes for my mother's demand.

" That's fine I would be surprised if mom did not ask for it Hah..." I sigh at my mother's quirk. " Ahem- Good evening everyone! I'm Amatsuki Ayaka and this is my Youkai form. " I greet them.

Yasaka scratches her forehead then looks at me and speaks to my father. " So Yuuki-dono... I'm sorry I thought you fall for some Zenko elsewhere for a bit there I apologize. " My father just smile wryly and replied. " It's fine Yasaka-hime I'm used to it this is not the first time after all..."

" So my first statement is actually valid after all Oldman! Hahaha." Rikuo in his youkai form said and chuckle to himself like his granddad. " ...Right Rikuo-kun, So you can see now why I said Ayaka has worse off than you with his youkai side. " He replied awkwardly.

Harutora then clapped for attention and said " Alright since we all gather now let's go to the castle. " And everyone agree, so we went to the teleport relay and warp to Nijo castle forward base.

In the castle area, I can feel the presence of Yomi's miasma trying to cling to my body like a piranha, so I have to pull the talisman out and put a purification kekkai on my body. " Tsukuyomi no Mikoto bless and purify this mortal body from harm -Order. " [Fing!] The talisman shone and disappear at the end of my word then the miasma stopped clinging to me.

" ...Are you fine Ayaka? The miasma here is stronger than we thought. Is it because of the Yomi gate? " He asks and then looks at the massive crack in an oval shape above the castle.

" The miasma clung onto her body? Is she a Yako Yuuki-dono? " Yasaka asks my father. " I don't know Yasaka-hime as you can hear his chant he can borrow Tsukuyomi divinity like a Miko while still drawing miasma and other negative energy like a Yako. " He explains my unique nature to her.

" I'm technically a Yako, dad I've told you that! my Amatsuki side let me borrow the power of Tsukuyomi that's it." I tell them and shrugged. " I mean mom is a Miko of Tsukuyomi why is it strange if I can borrow her authority? " I tilt my head.

" Hmm... Maybe you too got blessed by lady Tsukuyomi, Ayaka well this is good with this we can take back the city faster." Yasaka hypothesis and cheer up at the news. " She's also a general grade like me Yasaka-dono. We can leave the eastern side to her while we can go take back the south that most of Ayakashi gather. " Hishamaru chime in.

As they start to discuss the war plan with a hologram map. I stare at the Yomi gate and infuse mana into my left eye to use the spiritual sight. Then I saw the massive hole that tore through the dimensional gab connected to the Yomi and saw a heavily injured man with long blonde hair with fox ears and ten tails sit on what looked like a throne surrounded by a massive army of Ayakashi waiting for his order in silence.

(Strange... where's Izanami and her shinigami?) I try to look around Yomi but only see a wandering soul and more Ayakashi, but no sign of Izanami and the Shinigami, so one conclusion I got is why the Takamagahara did not wanna involve in this war now. I tap my father's shoulder and whisper to him.

"Things are worse than I thought dad. Nue got the throne of Yomi he's heavily injured from D's attack, but there's no Izanami and her shinigami in Yomi." I tell him with dread in my voice.

He looks me in the eye with a shocked expression and speaks to me quietly. " How much time do we got until another invasion? " I look at the Yomi again and at Nue and see him look back at me with hatred and heard the word.

" Douman... Nura... Human..., I will destroy all of you and your bloodline! No soul shall be cleansed in my Yomi! Takamagahara will fall like their so-called war gods. All of them will follow their mother to perish! Just wait... I will not suffer long from this humiliation! " He murmurs with pure hatred while the blood still pours out from his wounded.

" Is he a Juubi when he got resurrected? Because he is now and I heard his murmur about the war gods of Takamagahara already fallen. " I ask with a voice full of concern. He then checks his phone and searches for a picture of Nue and a heartbeat. " No, He's a Kyubi, so just briefly present on earth powering him that much!? " Great..., If what he said is true then Nue is a dragon king class and so was Douman.

I pat his shoulder and said, " We still got time dad his wounded are still not healed even sitting on a throne of Yomi. And also." I look at the crack and see the golden aura slowly healing it and also green, silver, and blue aura pouring on the crack. " The Kami are still focusing on healing the crack then I guess they will send someone to permanently seal the gate later. But with this rate, the crack will be gone in a week at worse. "

He then sighs out in relief. " Thank the kami, even if they are as desperate as us. " I wonder which and how many war gods that perish trying to take back Yomi from Nue. " We need to verify which Kami perishes after retaking the city dad or else the next war will be impossible to win. " I said with a somber voice.

" Ayaka-kun, you've seen what I see? " Harutora asks. I guess he heard our conversation from Hishamaru. I guess Yasaka must have heard it too. " You see him right Tora-nii? " I nodded and ask him. " Yeah, That tail is new. Yesterday I still saw him being a Kyubi. " He confirms.

" You two Amaterasu-sama said we need to keep this information secret from other factions, especially the devil. They can't know that we can't fight a war with them not after they hunt down the Nekoshou in the underworld and still have the audacity to tell us it's our fault. " Yasaka talks to us quietly and grumbles out a bit.

" Understood Yasaka-san. " I nodded at her reason. " ...We gonna need an alliance with another pantheon soon Yasaka-hime. It's clear that Takamagahara is weakening to the point that they cannot afford to fight against a dragon king class. Did we lose lord Takemikazuchi? " Harutora nodded and ask in an uncertain tone.

" Worse lord Hachiman and Bishamonten have fallen. We may have to contact the Chinese pantheon and the sage in the next war with Nue. " She said in a solemn tone. " The protector and the warrior are gone!? What about Tenryu? Did he fall too? his temple was still overrun by the Ayakashi. " Harutora said in alarming.

" We have no status about Tenryu and the rest of Seiryu in Kyoto. And easiest way to find Tenryu is via Nakiri and Kushihashi clans and the last time I try they said Nue is not their problem. ...I swear to lady Amaterasu Now that the protector and the warrior are gone They still act the same! There must be a devil's blood mixed with them somewhere." Yasaka said with extreme annoyance.

" They never change huh? I guess one of these days before the next war is inevitable I have to knock some sense on them and take their proud sacred beast as my shikigami once again. " Harutora said with a cold tone.

" Calm down you two let focus on our current task first we can think about how to deal with the 5 clans later. " My father calm the two down. " The 5 clans huh? During Rihan's era, They can't even think about talking shit to us heh-. And they still like this? Even with Onmyo alliance kick them out of Kyoto 30 years ago." The older Nurarihyon said with ridicule.

" Well enough about that Oldman I wanna go cut some Ayakashi with my Hyakkiyakou already, now that they finally let me off from babysitting Hagoromo for 3 days now! " The younger Nurarihyon complain.

" Alright, then Rikuo-kun you will be reinforced at Honmachi gather force from the Bishamon-do-Shorin-Ji temple with your hundred pandemonium and push south to take back Fushimi Inari Taisha. " Harutora then look at my father and Nura Rihon. " Yuuki-jiisan, I need you and lord Rihon to clean out the general grade that gathers at To-Ji temple. And purify the place, please. So we can get it to connect to the leyline ward once again."

Then he looks at me. " Ayaka-kun I need you to take back Tenryuji temple and purified it too. There is also a Colonel grade in the area. Can you do it?" He ask me with a bit of concern. " Got it Tora-nii! Don't worry about it! You sense it too that I'm also a general class, you know! " I replied to him confidently while my 7 tails swing lively.

He nodded and ordered. " Alright, I'll stand guard at the Yomi gate as I'm the only one who can see what's going on beyond it. Everyone may the fortune of war be with you. Dispatch! " We then respond with enthusiasm "" Ryokai! ""

Then the war for Kyoto continued for another night.
