Yokai Rein By Marioking

Unexpected Change

Aspen was sitting down at a glass round table that belonged to the guy with a red helmet, Aspen was holding he's forehead looking at his hand. The red stranger was cooking up something in his kitchen.

Aspen:so..your telling me I bled out and because it was caused by a "Yokai" I'm now a soul roaming around earth?
???:that's right I know it's hard to believe I mean everyone thought so too. Call me Red by the way.

Aspen slouched a bit on the plastic white chair and he crossed his arms, crossing his feet.
Aspen:okay then red, so if I'm dead why can I see and feel my body then if I'm a spirit.

Red:simple, us spirits take form of our now body before you know we died, though I gotta warn you. If you get consumed by a yokai there is no after life, you will cease to exist.
Aspen:Jesus..that's a lot to take in.

Red comes to the round table and he sets down bacon & eggs, with coffee on the side for both of them. Red sips from his coffee opening up a small hatch in his helmet allowing him to consume beverages and food.
Aspen:You ever take that thing off?
Red:well no not at all the helmet always stays on.
Aspen:Sheesh I'd hate smell your stench under that thing.
Red:Ha you don't have to worry about that, uhhhh I'm sorry I almost forgot to ask you your name my bad.

Aspen sits up leaning a bit forward taking a bite from the bacon, once he puts down the bacon he sips the coffee.
Aspen:Ahhh, I'm glad I can still enjoy food, oh and it's Aspen Martinez.
Red:Aspen, that's a unique name. Also you look kind of young how old are you?
Aspen:I'm 24.
Red:24? Jeez, again I'm so sorry for being to late from saving you, and now because of me your life was cut short.

Aspen put down his coffee as he took a sip, looking at Red directly.
Aspen:Trust me man college was the worst, you pretty much saved me from having to do it anymore so don't be sorry, besides this is kind of what I wanted.

Red held intertwined his own hands and set it down on the table.
Red:what do you mean by that?
Aspen:Life for me pretty much sucked that's all I will say, I've wanted to disappear for a while now and here I am, everyone will think I'm dead and since I'm assuming no one can see me I can walk around without speaking to people.

Red:well I'm glad your not really upset about it, but just because you can't be seen by human doesn't make you invisible to everything. In fact since your a spirit Yokai will have an easier time finding you, so if you decide to take a stroll at night you will most likely be eaten by a yokai.

Aspen:Shit. So what do you think I should do?
Red:well I believe the best thing for you to join us and cleanse yokai.
Aspen:what do you mean us?
Red: I mean there is a group of people who are like you and me, we became a team and due to our spiritual katanas we are able to rid of the yokai for good.

Aspen:So basically my options are either Kill yokai or lay down and get eaten?
Red:Exactly, I know it's not fair but think of it this way you'd be protecting everyone you care about!
Aspen:I'll join, but not to protect anyone, I'd rather not cease to exist.
Red:Good enough! Oh I almost forgo-

Before Red could finish his sentence, Red's head was cut off by a knife. Black smoke was coming out of his cut off neck. Aspen was jumped back and he fell back to the floor crawling backwards.
Aspen:What. The. FUCK!?

Aspen slowly turned his head to the right seeing a woman with pink short wavy hair, with blue eyes and tanned skin. She is wearing a pink bra with the straps looking like black belts. She is also has a black rain coat opened and the sleeves were cut open looking like cages. She had legging made out of rubber and it clear as well showing her legs, and she had small shorts on with a pink belt. The woman had clear skin looking the height of 5,6 and having a pear body type.
