This is the rewrite version of my previous story, "The Yokai".
Raizo Tachibana is the son of Yasaka Tachibana, and older brother of Kunou Tachibana. He's a Kitsune born with 10 tails as opposed to the usual 9, and is therefore considered an anomaly...
I begin to stir awake due to some light from the sun hitting my face. When I opened my eyes, that's when I remembered last night's events. I looked to my left and right to see Kuroka and Ahri naked and sleeping soundly, and I couldn't help but smile.
I was about to slip out of bed, as I've done for years, but to my surprise, an arm wrapped around my neck and pulled me back down to the bed.
I looked to my right to see Kuroka with her eyes closed and smiling.
Kuroka: *giggles* I don't think so~.
Raizo: Kuroka? How do you--
Kuroka: Just as you've learned how to get out of bed without waking us, I've learned how to stop you~.
Raizo: I'm not sure if I should be impressed or not, but still though it is time to get up.
Kuroka: Well I'm not ready to get up. So, you're going to stay with us until I am.
Raizo: I don't suppose I can convince you to let me go?
Kuroka: *giggles* Nope~.
Raizo:..-_-.. *sighs* Alright. (Guess I'm not getting up yet... Hmm? What's that...?)
I noticed a mark on Kuroka's shoulder.

I then looked to see the same mark on Ahri's left shoulder. At first I didn't know what it was, but then it hit me. Whenever a Yokai decides who their mate will be, and the two seal the deal with "intimacy", a mark will appear on said person. Seeing this made me so happy. When a mark like this appears on someone, that means whoever put it there has claimed them for life. And yeah, that sound about right.

Half the day has passed, and Azazel called me in to meet with him. Something about a favor he needs. We met up in the ORC clubroom.
Azazel: Raizo, there you are. Thanks for coming.
Raizo: Sure thing. Now, you said you needed a favor from me?
Azazel: Yes, but before that...
He then gained a mischievous smirk on his face.
Azazel: *smirks* I couldn't help but notice that Kuroka and Ahri seem to be walking weird. Why is that, I wonder.
Raizo: U-Uhh, W-Well, who knows? Could be many they pulled a muscle or something. *laughs nervously*
Azazel: *smirks* And how did that happen?
All I could do was scratch the back of my head nervously.
Azazel: Hahahaha, I'm just messing with you, kid! Congratulations on fully becoming a man.
Raizo: *sighs* Thanks, I guess.
Azazel: Now, back to why I called you here. Summer break starts next week, and Rias and her household will be spending the break in The Underworld. While they're there, they will undergo some training. Now the reason why I called you here, is to ask if you'd be willing to help with some of their training?
