Christy was a bit tired because of the restless night she had before and couldn't keep herself awake so she stayed home sick in bed

Meanwhile with rikuo...

"I'm back" I said then saw that yokai were eating some really expensive sweets "oh rikuo Don't tell me you were at school again" grandpa said

I went over and grabbed him "nevermind that where did you get those expensive sweets you didn't steal them did you I keep telling you I don't care if your special ability is to steal without paying" I said

"Rikuo your home those sweets were actually brought by lord zen" I heard mom say "what zen is here" I said and went over to greet him

I opened the sliding door and saw lord zen "third welcome back" he said this surprised me as I sat down across from him

Yuki-onna slid open the door "I brought you some tea" Yuki-onna said as she went to give us the tea but tripped and spilled it on me

"Hot, hot, hot" I said as Yuki-onna tried to defuse the situation by blowing ice on me only turning my entire body into ice "Yuki-onna leave" zen yelled

The ice broke and I told him I was human and that I wasn't a yokai then he started getting angry "zen calm down this instant" mom said standing in front of me Zen had to leave unexpectedly

Christy's pov

Since I was feeling a little better I went for a walk and ended up in the bamboo thicket I looked and saw the yokai caravan

Oh wait I remember this episode now zen is going to be betrayed by his right hand man hebidayu or rather snake cause he's a snake yokai

Then it happened it crashed and I ended up keeping quiet seeing the scene happen then a headache just happened to appear "why now of all times" I said as I passed out not realizing what was happening

"Hebidayu what your a part of the anti rikuo coalition" zen said "I couldn't have been bothered but it was always rikuo this rikuo that it was annoying" hebidayu said

Rikuo appeared and caught up to zen "zen" rikuo said but karasu tengu stopped him "wait something is amiss" Karasu tengu said

"I can't die here I still have unfinished business to attend to" he said as he started coughing "what you mean that rikuo nura boy your just as weak so I'll just finish you off here and now" hebidayu said

Hebidayu attacks zen only for karasu tengu to block his attack "zen" rikuo said "rikuo what are you doing here where are your bodyguards I can't possibly protect you myself" zen said

"I wanted to apologize for saying  things so half-heartedly, Karasu who is that" rikuo said "he's from the zen group hebidayu" karasu tengu said

"What he's from zen's group" rikuo said "oh so I get to kill the grandson of nurarihyon I'll be famous" hebidayu said as he started to attack "rikuo get back" zen said only to notice the moon was out and rikuo's blood was boiling

"Rikuo" zen said "relax" rikuo said as he was now in his night form "if you even had a shred of loyalty for zen I would have spared your pathetic life" night rikuo said as he cut hebidayu in half

"Who's that" zen said "Master rikuo" Karasu tengu said "that's rikuo!" Zen said in shock "yo zen" rikuo said as he just oozed with confidence and leadership

After zen and night rikuo had pledged their allegiance and drank sake zen left in the yokai caravan "karasu" night rikuo said

"Yes master rikuo" Karasu tengu said "how many cups of loyalty would I have to drink" he said making Karasu surprised "I will become the lord of pandemonium" night rikuo said

"Well I look forward to seeing that" they heard an unfamiliar voice "huh Who's there" night rikuo said gripping his sword called the nenekirimaru the yokai blade

He saw a wolf yokai with white silver hair "Don't tell me you forgot about me rikuo kun" she said in a playful tone his eyes widened "you..." he said in realization

"Akari" he said breathlessly "it's been awhile hasn't it seems like you missed me huh" she said he immediately wanted to go and hug her but she made no move to get any closer to him

"Ne rikuo let's play a game if you can find out what my human form is then I'll tell you how I got back" she said with a huge smile on her face

"Game?" Night rikuo said he knew she was a playful type and wanted to make things interesting so he agreed "fine I'll play your game" he said

"As a prize for guessing who I am I'll give you anything you want in return" she said "I need to go now see you rikuo" she said then jumped

"Wait...she's gone" night rikuo said "hoe lucky to be able to see your fiance again isn't it master rikuo" Karasu tengu said night rikuo felt his heart clench in his chest

'This is a real conflict for him Akari appears out of nowhere yet his heart wants to be with Christy just how is he going to solve this dilemma of his

He went home and got a surprised face from his mother "rikuo your in your night form this is a surprise" she said

"Yeah sorry mom" he said she sighed and Damien gripped night rikuo's kimono night rikuo looked down at him with his cherry red eyes
