Nurarihyon No Mago - Sennen Makyou x Reader

Chapter 1 - Endless Running, Saved by the 3rd Heir?

My breathing was short and hitched. I had to cover my mouth with my kimono sleeve to try and silence myself. It was cold and dark out, and sitting by a dumpster didn't really improve my situation. I peeked around the corner of the thing with a fowl stench to look for my pursuers. My (E/C) eyes darted back and forth, relieved to see feet running by me.

               "Didn't think you could get away that easily, didja Woman?" One of my pursuers snarled. I gasped and stood up, and swiftly jumped backwards. "What do you want from me!?" I hissed at him. "No one told you, huh?" He looked at me as if I were stupid. "Tell me.... What?" I cautiously asked the yokai. He took a step near me. "Don't wanna ruin the surprise.. But I'll give ya a hint. Every youkai out there wants just a piece of you. You're needed for the plan," He smirked at me as he reached out to grab my arm. My eyes widened in surprise and I left my mouth agape, only to trick him. As his hand was about to grab my waist, it passed through a black mist.

               My eyes flickered red for a short second, and I was cut in half by the black mist, then I disappeared. "W-What!?" He exclaimed, shocked. "You're a thousand years too early for me, scumbag," I whispered into his ear from behind him, my Katana piercing him through his stomach. "GaH!" He shouted and fell to the ground. "You b-bitch..." He gagged. I shoved my foot onto his back, grinding his body into the ground. "My name is ______ ______. Remember the name of your killer," I looked up into the moonlight. "Crap, It's gonna be dawn soon..." I said with a 'tch'. "Oi... Hone-Ona!*" I heard a voice call to me from behind.

               I turned swiftly, only to meet glowing red eyes. My eyes widened and all of a sudden I got a pain in my head. I grasped it with only one hand, then two. I brought down one of my hands to see red. "Great. That Oni bastard might've gotten me back there..." "Hone-Ona! Don't ignore me!" I looked up to the owner of the voice. I blinked once and he got fuzzy. I lost my footing and started falling. 'Shit, I lost too much blood...' I thought to myself. "OI!!??" Red-eyes called. Then, I blacked out.

~o0o******o0o~

               "-ey," I heard a faint voice. "Do you think she'll wake up?" Another voice. "She's awfully pretty Young Master" A shrill voice called. I slowly opened my eyes and tried to adjust to the light in the room. I felt around the floor. Tatami mats. I tried to sit up and I held my head. "Hey don't be reckless, stupid woman." An annoying voice sounded in my ears. "Haaah?" I turned my head slightly and upwards to meet those same red eyes. Crap. It was that guy from earlier.. "Where am I?" I looked around myself. The sun was setting outside, and little pitter patters of footsteps were heard everywhere.

               "How about thanking me first Hone-Onna?" he said. "I have a name, brat." I huffed. "Brat!?" He gritted his teeth. I smirked. "My name is _______ _______. And you seem to already know that I'm a Hone-Onna. Who might you be?" I adjusted my sitting position, and put my arm behind me to support me. He glared down at me. "Nura. Nura Rikuo. The 3rd Heir of the Nura Clan," I looked at him in disbelief. "Nura....Nurarihyon's... Grandson?" I said. He smirked, seemingly pleased with himself. "You... you have to take me to him," I tried hurriedly to get up, only to fall back down. "Oi! ______! Get ahold of yourself!" He ran over to me to try and lay me back down. "Let go! I need to talk to him! It's urgent..!" I started a coughing fit.

               "Tsurara! Kejoro! Oi!" He was yelling some names. Two females ran into the room. "Help her!" He yelled at them. They both nodded and ran to my side. My coughing fit started to die out after the Yuki-Onna had chilled some water for me. "T-Thanks.." I muttered. She smiled at me and the two women left the room. "So.. Hon-...______. Why are you so.... Eager to see the old geezer?" He plopped down beside me. I looked away for a moment, then back at him. "Nurarihyon.. he.. he knows something that I don't. He knows why all these youkai are chasing after me, he knows who.. who killed my parents," My hands balled up and I punched the ground beside me. "Shit..." I looked away again from the 3rd heir. He looked at me, as if trying to read me.

               He sighed, and then did something unimaginable. He picked me up, bridal style, and started carrying me out of the room. "O-Oooi!! Pretty boy! Is there something wrong with your head, because I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here with a cranial injury!! Put me down! What if someone sees us like this!? They'll get the wrong idea!" I was kicking and screaming, and even trying to beat him. I got tired though, not after too long. "Tch. And what's this about pretty boy? I'm bringing you to the old geezer," He scoffed. I looked up at him, surprised. I looked down and covered my face with my kimono. "S-Sorry.." I whispered. He wore a faint smile, before we reached a door.

               He had opened it, to reveal a small man, with an almost gorge-like head."N-Nurarihyon... Are you.. Nurarihyon by chance?" I said quietly as Rikuo put me down. He looked up at me from his tea with a questioning look, followed by a shocked one. When I was finally set down,  I immediately got to my knees and I slammed my fists into the ground by my sides. I bowed my head, and with as full of a voice I could manage, yelled, "Nurarihyon-sama! Please! I'm begging you! Please tell me why I'm pursued, Please! Tell me why my parents were killed!" My (E/C) eyes threatened tears, as my (H/C) hair flowed softly from the gentle night breeze.

*Hone-Onna - It is similar to a Succubus who take a Men's energy by seducing them.
