~10 June 2008~
It has been a month since her beach vacation with Kojiro-kun, and she must say that this has been a peaceful month without any conflict and trouble that give her a headache. Yasaka stops sipping her favorite tea and remembers a few weeks ago, there was trouble inside her research and development facility.
~Flashback~
Yasaka walks down the long stone corridor of the underground facility. A guard that is blocking a large metal door salutes her and says.
"Yasaka-sama! Good day to you ma'am!"
"Fufufu. No need for that, at ease. Anything I should be aware of? Because I need my Miko outfit that Kojiro-kun give me from the researcher."
Yasaka can see that the guard is unsure how to say it out loud before nodding at himself and saying.
"Mmmmm, I should warn you that the researcher is rather frantic as of late."
"Frantic?"
"Errr, You should see it yourself, ma'am."
The guard then opens up the metal door, and what greets her is….
Chaos
Chaos summed up the scene that greeted Yasaka. The shouting was the first thing that reached her scenes even before the door was fully open. Angry words and insults were flying around the room like a barrage of arrows, insults comparing the other's mother to pigs being the most common. Next, the smell hit her. Frankly speaking, it smelled like an unwashed footlocker, causing her to flare her nostrils involuntarily. She was forced to see the best and brightest minds that the country had to offer reduced to simple brutes as the shouting match had turned into a fistfight.
"Enough"
With a simple word and flaring a little bit of her chakra and making the entire room silent.
"What is happening here?"
All the researchers straightened their lab coats and dispersed, trying to save the small amount of dignity they had left. The head researcher, an older man with a clean-shaven head and bottle-lens glasses, wiped the small amount of blood from his mouth and greeted the Youkai Ruler with a friendly smile.
"Greetings, Yasaka-sama. They have some divided opinions. I wouldn't pay too much attention as it was their way to let out some steam. Most of us have not yet seen the sun for at least a week"
"A week?"
"Yes, and it was mostly your fault, Yasaka-sama."
"My fault."
"Yes, please follow me."
The researcher then leads Yasaka through a bunch of ramen cups and a few containers of take out food. After a few seconds of walking, they arrive in front of a massive monitor that shows a picture of her Miko outfit that Kojiro-kun gave her the other day.
"This is the most fascinating and the most frustrating we ever encounter."
The researcher then clicks a few buttons, and suddenly, the camera zooms in on her Miko outfit.
"This Miko outfit has the effect of Anti-Magic around it, and if what you say is correct, then it also protects its user with the same effect. We have been trying to find how to replicate the effect, but we can't. This outfit is made using an unknown method or technology that did not involve any magic in its making. Every thread in the outfit releases the Anti-Magic effect every second non-stop without any fuel whatsoever. We then decide if we can replicate the thread the outfit has but to surprise the thread itself from the unknown material that we cannot find. Right now, we are in the loop because of this fascinating item. Where do you get this outfit, Yasaka-sama."
Yasaka looked at the Miko outfit in shock as she thought that Kojiro created this outfit with the help of magic, and in her shocked state, she unconsciously says.
"It was a gift from Kojiro-kun."
Yasaka snaps from her shock and looks at the head researcher who has a glint at his eyes as he says.
"Alright, boy! It looks like Kojiro-sama has the answer he's searching for! Onwards!"
Before she could say anything, a hundred researchers ran outside their lab after a week without leaving them, and their location was LeBlanc cafe.
"What have I done."
*A Moment later*
Yasaka sits down on the chair inside her office, thinking the headache Kojiro-kun will have as he gets surrounded by her researcher, begging for an answer. She already takes her Miko outfit from the lab and immediately places it away from the researcher.
As she is thinking about Kojiro-kun, one of the servants comes inside her office and immediately says,
"Yasaka-sama, The researcher march through the city and arrive inside the LeBlanc Cafe and shouting to Kojiro-sama demanding some answer or something like that"
Yasaka covers her face with her hand while muttering.
"I'm so sorry, Kojiro-kun."
~End of Flashback~
Yasaka still remembers how the researcher still pulled their hair out of their head in frustration even though Kojiro let them record him, making something inside his workshop. There is also a visit from the Great Maou and one clan member. They come to her palace to ask about a 'group of assassins or stray devils' that kill Diodora Astaroth. Yasaka held her laughter as the members of the Astaroth clan said that Diodora fought honorably while the 'assassin' used an unhonorable method to kill their heir. She refrains from telling them about how Kojiro-kun is the one killing that little shit.
Yesterday she also got some news that the former peerage of Diodora is ready to be placed in the field to become their eye in the Underworld. Nurarihyon trains them with all the necessities to become a kunoichi. Nurarihyon also tries to teach them touki, but they are only able to use a little bit of it and cannot release its true power because they are not practitioners of senjutsu. She knows that touki can be learned if they try their hardest, but it takes a year to be able to use it at its full power. The 'God Vengeance' as they call themselves, can boost their speed and coat their fist to increase their hand to hand combat stats using touki, but other than that, they can't do anything using their touki.
Yasaka snaps from her thought when Nurarihyon walks inside her office with a grim face and accompanied by his Shinobi.
"What is it, Nurarihyon?"
"My Lady, The Teeth, has come to town, and their target is this Palace and Kojiro-dono house."
"Then go to Kojiro-kun house and help him defend…."
*BOOM*
Before she could finish her order, she felt a massive explosion had breached the barrier around the palace.
"They're already in here."
"How? You say that they also target the Kojiro-kun house?"
"Yes. However, they come here with the help of 'Hero Faction' led by the descendant of Cao Cao. They come here for you, My Lady."
"Why?"
"The Dragon Gate"
Yasaka frowns, hearing the reasoning before she says.
"If they come to me, then let them try to get it. Order all the Onmyōji to hold them off for a minute. I will use the Leyline spiritual power to finish this invasion quickly. Also, tell all the troops this…"
Yasaka looked at Nurarihyon with cold eyes.
"No mercy."
"Yes, My Lady"
"Good, Go"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nurarihyon looks at his Shinobi that protects Japan from the shadow. This is the force that he created to usurp Yasaka throne, but after the uprising of Stray Devil, Yasaka became the leader he wanted to follow. Early in her rule, she bought a young woman that didn't have steel on her spine, but after the betrayal of her mate and the Stray Devil uprising, Yasaka began showing the steel that he wanted her to have as a ruler. As the time comes, the Stray Devil continue to roam Kyoto, and they continue to terrify many people with their violence. However, all of that comes to an end when a man comes to Kyoto, this man is known as Sasaki Kojiro. At first, he is a bit skeptical about him, but after seeing him killing Lung the Dragon using the signature technique only Sasaki Kojiro has, he knows that this man is the real deal.
As time passes, Kyoto becomes the safest city in all Japan or even the world from the Stray Devil, and all that is due to him. Because of his usual night patrol, Nurarihyon can spread his agent all around the world, including the Underworld. Because of him, Yasaka can take care of many problems inside Kyoto like their herb supply that begins depleting because of the Stray Devil continuous attack.
He snaps from his thought and looks at the Shinobi corp in front of him then says.
"Just like our lady says… No Mercy. Go!"
"YES!"
Seeing his Shinobi disappear, Nurarihyon walks toward Yasaka location to protect from any intruder that has harmful intentions towards his Queen.
