Yori's guide to avoid Yōkai
Episode 1: Tengu

"kon"

"What the fuck are you doing" Yori mumbled under her breathe, walking into the room that Kyu was currently resting in. "I thought that if both of the fox yokai are related I could use kon" Kyu reasoned, pouting slightly. "What kind of vagrant are you looking like right now" the taller woman retorted, taking a seat on the opposite couch, "The fox demon would never take orders from the likes of you"

[ when yori said 'what kind of vagrant are you looking like right now' i was trying to direct translate from chinese 💀 你现在像什么鬼 - excuse my terrible chinese skills im more of a speaker ]

"Makima-san took in another dog" Yori stared seriously into Kyu's maroon eyes, her words holding something more serious than Makima just taking in another slave. "and.. how, exactly, is that relevant to me?" the teen stared back, unsure on what was the deeper meaning. What exactly was this highly-ranked woman trying to convey to another one of Makima's little pets.

"He's a special case" Yori folded her arms under her chest. The atmosphere became thicker and thicker; as if submerged into the deep blue. "Ha.. what's with the atmosphere, Yori" a familiar face strode into the room as the scent of cigarettes filled their nostrils.

But once it had hit Kyu right in the face like a punch, the teen covered her nose with her sleeve and went to the large windows; opening them. "oops— forgot that our precious Kyu doesn't want to die early" Himeno laughed softly, taking the cancer stick away from her lips as a grin crept onto her face, "How about asking that darned fox to give you nine lives?" she shot a grin as she teased, jokingly, as usual.

"Himeno-senpai.. Makima-san migh—" "She's just spoiling her, Aki-kun. This one won't survive what's coming". Aki sighed, entering the room while fixing his tie as Himeno threw the lighted bud into an ash tray. "Happy?".

"I heard that he's being sent into your care, Aki-kun—" "That bastard kicked me where the sun doesn't shine"

Yori had a surprised look on her face, as the young man sighed, before bursting out in laughter. "That rascal's making me interested- None of our lower class-man would even dare..!" she grinned, curious on what that punk would look like.

"Impossible"

Yori had her eyes widened, not believing what she had heard from Himeno. Her eyebrows were furrowed, lips straightened.

"That scruffy blonde's the chainsaw devil's host?" "Heard it from Makima herself". Himeno stepped back from the balcony, taking a seat on the chair behind the two. "He looks too- ordinary?" the woman commented, trying to find a better choice of word to describe this teenage boy messing around with the blood fiend.

"He's just a fiend Makima picked up, right?" Yori eyed Himeno who had her arms folded, legs crossed. "That's what I've heard. Why question it?" "Nothing.. it was just something that Kyu—" Yori paused her words. She felt that something was off. Zzt Zzt.

The dark-haired woman took her phone from her pocket and checked it, surprised by the sender. Makima. "Makima..?". A new mission. For what? killing another devil? Saving another civilian? Nope.

"Yori, Ozora-ya's secretary requests a meeting with you. He's here at Himeno's office already"

"Who in the actual fuck is that?" "Hm?". Himeno raised an eyebrow, curious on what sort of message her co-worker just received. "Someone from.. Ozora-ya's at your office. He requested to meet me" "Have you been born yesterday?" Himeno folded her arms under her chest, laying back onto the chair. The autumn breeze gently blowing at them. The leaves rustled and her hair flowed. The birds chirped and the dogs barked.

"The leader over all devils. The yōkai devil. He's the one sitting on-top of Ozora-ya. He directly communicates with the devils from hell. Sort of like a king watching over his citizens along with his right-hand man, the tengu, his personal body-guard, the oni and—"

Himeno paused her words, taking a second to think.

"I think I have an idea on why the Tengu is approaching you"

"They want Aki-kun?" "That's what I've deducted"

"That guy up there wants to complete his little collection. The Tengu, the Oni and the Kitsune—" "But why Aki-kun? Why not other users of the Kitsune devil"

Himeno took a second to think. Yori as well. It was weird how sudden this meeting was planned. They were making their way to meet the Tengu. A cunning supernatural creature that is sometimes said to be the reincarnation of a pompous and haughty former self.

Yori opened the door to be met with the back of a man with a long black pony tail. He had visible red earrings on. Those feathery-kind.

"You must be Yori-san" the Tengu smiled as he stood up, "Nice to, finally, see you"

"You're on your own, Yori~!" Himeno grinned before escaping. "Oi- Hime—" Yori paused, slowly turning to see a smiling Tengu, "Come on.." she groaned, annoyed, "I'm going to kick her ass when I'm done"

Observing the man in-front of her, Kyu's suspicions grew. Who was this teenage boy? And how in the world did he find his way into this building. He doesn't seem to be a devil hunter. Not with those unprofessional and ratchet-looking clothing. She can't say any more about herself either. Being the broke teen she is. But the audacity to drool in-front of her with a lustful look upon his face. A stupid grin formed onto his face. But that quickly stopped when the sound of familiar heel-clacking reached their ears.

Kyu stood up before bowing, "Makima-san" "Oh, Kyu. So, you've met Denji-kun?" she smiled before making her way to her seat. "Nice to meet you, Kyu" the scruffy blonde cooed, dusts of red on his cheeks.

No words escaped her lips. Except—

sighhhhhhhh

"I wanna go home"
