A few days after Gargroni and Hyabusa were slain, Kachito, Zotawa, Lei-Lei, and Jeremī had helped the surviving villagers, who also patched Zotawa up as he had received the most damage in his battle.
Lei-Lei was alone in the room that she was given at the inn within the village. Then she felt a dark presence.
???: Heya Lei-Lei.
Lei-Lei: That voice...Se-
Her mouth was covered by the mysterious man who had a malicious smile.
???: You're coming with me...little sister.
The man grabbed Lei-Lei, covering her mouth, and moved at inhuman speeds, leaving the village.
THE NEXT DAY...
Kachito and Zotawa couldn't find Lei-Lei and Zotawa looked at Kachito after their search.
Zotawa: Kachito, I think she betrayed us. She might have run off to the Global Government.
Kachito: She wouldn't! Right..?
Zotawa: I hope not. But I have no other ideas for where she could've gone.
ELSEWHERE...
Multiple of the Global Government Officials met in a meeting hall.
Official #1: This Kachito Mishimura is causing uproars within our systems! He and his allies have slain three of the Oni Council, and three of our top assassins!
Official #2: Not to mention they successfully got one of our assassins on their side.
The mysterious man who took Lei-Lei walks in. He is an Oni. The last member of the council other than the Oni Lord.
Official #3: Sei-Sei, an update on your mission to get Lei-Lei?
The mysterious Oni, Sei-Sei, smiled maliciously.
Sei-Sei: Yeah yeah, I got her. She's with the Sōsa clan. As ordered.
Official #4: Good. Having you and the Lord on payroll is useful. Even if you're Oni.
Sei-Sei rolled his eyes. Whilst this discussion was happening an official was sitting away his thoughts were going wild. I can't do this. These people only care about controlling the world and hurting people. I've gotta leave.
He got up and went to walk out, using his need to piss as an excuse. But as he went, a woman walked in. She was wearing a regal kimono. She had short white hair and yellow irises with black swirls in them surrounding and orbiting her pupils.
She was the Great God, the Yo-Kai Kunshu. Not physically but mentally. Her actual body was in the Realm of Spirits.
She looked at him but walked past as he quickly left.
Official #2: Y-Yo-Kai Kunshu...how gracious of you to join us.
Yo-Kai Kunshu: Why would I not. My plan to bring my body into the Realm of Man hinges on this alliance.
Official #1: Y-yes of course Yo-Kai Kunshu...we were simply discussing an individual who wishes to become the next Heavenly Swordsman and has killed two Oni Council members and his friend killed another...
Yo-Kai Kunshu: The individuals name?
Official #3: Kachito Mishimura your greatness!
She looked like she recognized that name. Kachito eh...
Yo-Kai Kunshu: I know that name. Interesting...he seeks to become Heavenly Swordsman. Then he will interfere with the plan.
All of the officials agree with her. Mostly out of fear. The Yo-Kai Kunshu turned and left.
Official #4: Send word to the Sōsa and Rodin clans about Kachito Mishimura and Zotawa Rodin. It would seem the Kunshu wants them removed.
BACK WITH KACHITO AND ZOTAWA...
Kachito and Zotawa were walking on their way to their next destination. Believing Lei-Lei betrayed them not knowing the truth. The Village of the Shroud allowed them to travel with Jeremī so he was also with them.
Zotawa: Parados Town is around a five hour walk.
Kachito: Alright!
Zotawa: When we get there, we can start theory crafting on where Lei-Lei went off to. But for now, let's move.
Kachito nodded as the three of them started heading towards Parados Town. Their next stop on the journey for Kachito to become Heavenly Swordsman. And little did they know, everyone in the Global Government had their eyes out for Kachito Mishimura and Zotawa Rodin.
. . .
Obviously they didn't know about Jeremī cuz he's an Inugami that guarded a secluded village.
