Samurai Oni
DREAM MANIPULATED BY I
Chiharu Momoka. The girl who used to be a victim of Akio's ignorance, but gradually he understood the reason Akio did it was to expel a creature called yokai.
After realizing that, his family was hit by the same problem but with a different type of yokai decided to meet Akio who had become his savior.
Hoping to meet soon after being hit by such a thing, but once met it turned out to be at the gallows. But his hopes did not dim after someone tried to escape with Akio who was about to be put to death.
With Kizu's intermediary, Chiharu and Akio finally meet again at Mikio's residence.
Yokai who inhabit dreams. Harassing humans, the men would be tortured while the women would be spayed, the, this kind of yokai is indeed a lot of want but who would have thought that if one of the family members who had been cursed in the dream tried to tell the incident to someone, it would have been, then he will vomit blood and make his body weaker to death slowly.
Gama City, Satsuki clan territory.
“Hm? You two want to meet Mr Satsuki?”
Akio with Akashi and Nekomata went there. Akio intends to meet Daimyo first before starting to move and look for the yokai's whereabouts. Surely they went there by covering their entire bodies with ordinary robes.
“Ya.” Akashi answered while glancing at Akio. “We are from Momoka family. Convey ...please,”.
“Momoka? Oh, so. Looks like it must meet my Master, wait a moment.”
Not told to enter, it was Satsuki who came to them. He came out fully clothed and with a sword tucked in his waist.
“You two are family members of Momoka, right? I've been waiting for you guys for a long time. So, how?” ask Satsuki, this Daimyo in Gama.
“Cici ..ah, no. I mean, our family's still holding on. But, is it sir? Didn't Master know of the yokai's whereabouts?” akashi asked, he seemed nervous when viewed from the look on his face and the way he spoke.
Yes, it was only natural that he was helped by Nekomata to say the thing that he wanted to ask Satsuki.
“Honey once, we can't find it. But I'll come to your house again, just relax. I'll help until all this is done.”
Satsuki had known this from the beginning. Akio himself was surprised, because according to what Chiharu said that the samurai had come to help but in the end found nothing. Return home empty-handed while Momoka's family is tormented every time she falls asleep.
“I only know that you guys are having bad things in a dream, but strangely we found absolutely no clues.”
“Y-yes. We can't last longer ..but is that all you know?” ask back Akashi.
“There's again. Something is blocking your home.”
Satsuki was staring sharply downwards, seeming to be so frustrated about this matter but she could not tell this matter to others even more so this was happening in the Satsuki clan territory. Satsuki would probably feel embarrassed if she asked the other clans for help.
“Oh, yes. By the way who is ka ..lian?”
Satsuki who was about to ask them who, they had left earlier.
“Hah, they go.” Satsuki's sighing with annoyance.
Nekomata and Akashi parted ways briefly with Akio, who was currently leaning on a tree branch. He watched the city of Gama from above carefully, in order to strengthen his sense of taste and vision behind the mask of oni while making sure nothing was spared.
“Mr Akio! I didn't feel anything at all, or smell anything!” akashi from below.
Akio nodded his head then he immediately went down. Since then they had found nothing including the yokai trail itself. They decided to return.
“Mr Akio, what kind of yokai is it?” ask Akashi.
“Akashi, do you really not know? A creature like him who only possessed in dreams?” Presumably Nekomata quipped.
Nekomata got off the back of his shoulders and walked on his own four feet. For a moment he stopped, for a moment he looked back, I don't know what made him anxious. But the longer the small body approached Akio.
“Mr Akio, to be honest I am also still confused.”
“What? It turns out you yourself are the same!” pekik Akashi heard it.
Akio, Akashi and Nekomata simultaneously stopped in place. Then they realized the existence of someone who was getting closer.
Akashi, who felt dangerous, immediately stood behind Akio's back to expose the person.
“Come out!”
In a flash of shadow, something descended from a dense leafy branch. It turns out it's just a guy, a ninja. Dressed in all-enclosed clothes with a small, assortment of weapons hidden behind his clothes, he stood facing Akashi.
“Momoka. Right?”
“Ya, right.” Nekomata answers but hides behind Akio's cloak.
Akio turned his back while covering his face properly, with Nekomata's voice to talk to him for a while.
“You need something?”
“No. I just said that Mr. Satsuki wants to meet with all of you.”
“So 'do? For what?”
“Regarding the Momoka family issue itself. I can only explain there is something that is forgotten to convey.”
Nekomata whispered softly to Akio, asking if they would leave or not. Akio shook his head quite once.
“Sorry, we have more important business. Please tell mister.”
“Tapi—”
Not waiting for a long explanation anymore, Akio and the others immediately left from there.
Satsuki clan territory, Gama. Forests surround the settlement but its location is quite far from the capital, does not make their defense weak. One of their skills besides fighting is archery.
But even so, the distance traveled to the Capital was as far away as the Mizunashi clan so it was difficult to tell the Momoka family's problems to the other clans.
Honor and cause after this story is spread will make the impact much greater. In order to avoid that, Satsuki was trying to clean it up secretly. There are some things he seems to be hiding.
“About, that Satsuki wanted to say what huh?” tanya Akashi was curious.
“Don't ask stupid things. Mr. Akio did not want to continue his conversation with him because Mr. Akio felt it was dangerous.”
“You mean because now we're looking?”
“True. We can't let anyone know that Mr. Akio is in the country and still alive. Although we dodge it will make Satsuki suspect.”
“Oh, so. Hm ...”
Akashi cleared his throat long enough, because he did not really understand.
