In a mansion far away from Ukioe, inside a dark room, Rozo was kneeling on one leg, bowing to the utmost lowest degree. His face was bloodied, multiple bruises covered his face and body. What used to be light brown hair, was dyed a deep red as his hair was tainted with blood.
In front of him, was a woman wearing a dark green yukata loosely. She sat down on the wooden throne messily, with her chin leaning into her hand. Her body was quite well built but still emphasized that graceful figure of hers.
As she sat there, she was coldly looking down at Rozo. Her eyes were unapologetic and her mouth was curved in a slight frown. Rozo didn't even dare to look up and kept his head down low. He was trembling in his tracks, unable to move nor even speak.
"Oi," He shivered at the Seo's cold tone. "Where's Reiji," she said with seething anger.
Rather than talking back, Rozo stayed quiet as it would just get worst. He'd already been beaten up before, and he didn't want to taste it again.
"Hey, little brother. Answer me." Seo stated in a very pissed-off manner.
The boy she considered as a second little brother left without saying goodbye to her! As a doting elder sister and leader of the group, this was breaking her heart into pieces. And her real brother, the only person who saw Reiji off, DIDN"T CALL her!
The nerve of this--!!
"--He. . . he's in the Nura territory!!" Perhaps sensing another explosion of anger from Seo, Rozo squeezed out an answer.
"Then why didn't you just tell me sooner!"
"I thought you knew he was visiting home! OWww-- *Aneki don't-- oW! Step- on me-- Oww!"
"Don't assume I'll remember such a small detail- ORAA!!"
"AAAHHH--!!"
Continuously stepping on Rozo's bruised body, Seo carried out her childish punishment. This was a common occurrence in the group, Seo, despite being the leader is an utter massacre. She creates perpetual chaos within the group and acts like a child. However, a childish leader she may be, everyone relied on her.
Hearing that never-ending quarrel between the siblings, a man wearing a white coat slid open the door and shot a bundle of strings towards Seo's mouth.
"Arkggg!"
"Ahito-san!" Rozo exclaimed happily at the friendly face.
"Seo-dono," the poison yokai started. "If you wish to see Reiji back at his hometown, do bring Inei with you. We simply cannot risk a disaster like you creating ruckus at the Nura clan's territory."
"Ag. . . humu." Seo nodded with her mouth shut.
With that Ahito left, elegantly wondering what Reiji was up to.
Back at Ukioe, a tall figure could be seen slashing a rat yokai.
Blood dripped down his katana, matching the red haori that rested on his shoulders. A fog created by his fear surrounded the area, minimizing his opponent's visibility and maximizing his own.
Reiji took down one rat from another, the pests that hid underneath the Nura's territory have been causing trouble very recently, kidnapping two of Rikuo's friends.
Don't get him wrong, Reiji didn't particularly care about these friends of his, in fact, Reiji wasn't very fond of Kana even from the anime. For him, this was an opportunity to introduce himself once again to his brother.
And start the Nura clan anew.
