Reincarnated as Rikuo's Twin Brother | Nurarihyon no Mago

Meh. . .

The very same day. . .

"Now that I think about it, today is when Rikuo and his friends visit the mansion.." Reiji muttered as he left his condo unit. It was the day after visiting school and he had nothing better to do.

So with that thought in mind, a smirk formed on Reiji's face as he grabbed his sword which he hid inside his fear. It was time to visit his old clan. . and maybe meet his brother and gang.

As he walked along the streets, Reiji's smile never disappeared. His fear enveloped his body, changing his clothes into a red tracksuit underneath a particular black middle school uniform.

His hair was down, and his rectangular glasses replaced with round ones.

Fixing his clothes, Reiji grin grew wider and wider as he stepped into a private area.

In front of him was an old fashioned mansion dating back to more then 400 years ago. It was once the house he lived in for merely 5 year before he was inevitably kicked out for a ridiculous reason.

He was at the Nura clan's estate.

"Let's try and have some fun!"

***

Inside the Nura clan's estate, Reiji disguised as Rikuo entered the gates and heard some loud cheering in the distance.

The smirk on his face slowly faded, revealing a warm smile. His eyes turned rounder the before and leviated a friendly atmosphere around him, he was fixing up his facade.

Retracting his fear to almost nonexistent, he entered the living room where most of the noise was coming from.

Once he opened the door he was met with dozens and dozens of yokai's celebrating and partying loudly.

They had sake, food and even played a lot of games, everyone was in an upbeat mood!

*Kubinashi noticed 'Rikuo' suddenly open the door and greeted him cheerfully with a bright red face, he was drinking.

"Rikuo-sama! Come and join us!" He yelled loudly

Everyone's attention then turned to Reiji and started cheering loudly, shouting Rikuo's name over and over again.

With a wryly smile, Reiji joined in the fun and grabbed some food for himself.

Seeing as their 'Young master' join in on the fun, everyone partied harder and louder. *Kurotabo, was extremely drunk and offered Reiji a bottle of sake and gave him an empty cup.

By now, everyone was drunk and could give a damn about their 'Young master' drinking sake.

"Ohh!! Drink! Drink! Drink!"

"Rikuo-sama!! Banzai!"

"Young master! Banzai!!"

Everyone yelled at the top of their lungs as Reiji took the bottle and stood a moderate sip. He doesn't want to get out of character that much.

"Wohoo!!"

"Goo!!"

Kurotabo and Karasu held Reiji by the shoulder and continously patted him at the back. Once again, everyone cheered merrily and continued eating and drinking to their hearts content.

Acting sick, Reiji held his mouth like he was about to puke and excused himself from the group.

The group of yokais thought nothing of it and continued partying like the usual.

Reiji who successfully escaped, sharpened his eyes once again and showed a smirk on his face.

"They should really boost their security.." He mumbled to himself.

Wiping the alcohol off his mouth, Reiji proceeded to walk around the mansion, carefully observing its layout and finding where the floor creeks the most. It's been a long time, he can't possibly remember all the details from seven years ago, now can he? 

After walking around for a few minutes or so, Reiji found himself staring at a certain person's bedroom.

"Brings back memories" He muttered

Looking at Rikuo's room, Reiji couldn't help but stare at it in nostalgia, it's been so long since he's seen that room.

Ever since Rikuo and Reiji were three, they had always spent their time playing inside their room, chasing after one another and playing random games that came into their mind.

"But now I have my own place!" He said with a shrug.

Closing the door, Reiji walked to another corridor and slid open a bigger door in front of him. The room was very spacious and contained many wooden weapons inside. The cabinet on the right hand most corner contained some dulled swords that some yokais used to practice in.

This room was the training room.

Chuckling wryly at this, Reiji couldn't help but reminisce his past self being knocked down on the ground over and over again by a simple sword strike.

While Reiji was busy glaring at his old self, a pair of young women were passing through the very same hallway whilst carrying baskets of food, noticing him stare at the room, one of the woman called out.

"Rikuo, you're home early." The smallest woman said

Hearing this voice, Reiji turned his head to the woman and widened his eyes in suprise.

"Mom.." he said in shock

"What wrong, dear? Did something happen?"

Having no time to be surprised, Reiji immediately snapped out of his shock and returned back to his Rikuo act.

"Hm? Oh no, I was just walking around" He replied with a smile.

"Alright then, *Kenjoro, let's get this to the guys"

"Hai, Wakana-dono"

Wakana and Kenjoro turned back to their job at hand continued walking, heading towards the living room.

Looking at their back, Reiji sighed in relief as he remembered to thin out his voice.

Compared to Rikuo, Reiji's voice was a bit deeper and had a cold tone to it, and unless someone actually listened closely they wouldn't be able to notice the difference. But since it was Reiji's mom, who had taken care of them from the start, he had to be certain and decided to answer softly.

"I guess it was better to forget about me." Reiji said dejectedly

Even without explanation, it was clear that Wakana gave birth to twins and to a mother it was practically impossible to forget about a child she raised herself. However, her memory of Reiji was very thin and was almost nonexistent itself.

Despite it being a 100% impossible, it happened.

Due to Reiji and his friend's intervention.

He didn't want her to break down and go against the family she, herself, was a part of. Loosing a husband was already painful enough for a human, what about a missing son?

It was best to forget about it than suffer continously worrying about him for seven years.

Exhaling a deep breath, Reiji was about to turn around an explore more, when he felt the presence of the highest ranking yokai in the estate behind him.

Without turning around, Reiji smirked and closed his eyes in laziness.

"Its been a long time, Reiji."

"Meh. . " He shrugged.
