Samurai Oni
CLUE

The day begins with the arrival of Mikio who is thought to have long died from the high seas, he was reckless to cross the sea and some witnesses claimed that the boat carried by Mikio had been swept away by such a huge wave of sea. It happened before Akio was sentenced to exile.

Reemerging after two long years, coinciding with the start of summer, Tadashi becomes the first victim (allegedly Akio).

Then second, the capital as usual held Gion Matsuri. But that's where the bloody tragedy happened, where every shadow that should not exist because the heat was at its peak was seen one by one and then killed quite a number of people.

Followed by the Shogun Hatekayama who did not realize that Mikio at that time was not Mikio but a yokai who was called to control both dead and living bodies.

But, due to Akio's relentless determination just because of Mikio's appearance, he was able to behead Mikio as the yokai controlled him. Even so, that alone would not be enough to destroy him.

Yasha finds out that the yokai is still not destroyed, and chooses to come with Akio to wait for the fate of what is on Akio's path until death.

Beheading a man who was already referred to as his own brother and now he has to deal with the damned yokai much longer.

“There is someone who controls us.” If remembered this was ever uttered by the newborn Nekomata after a few weeks ago.

Not only that, Akio even had to hide after getting a little leniency over his punishment. Hiding from everyone, especially the samurai, was due to a misunderstanding.

Everyone thinks that Akio killed the Shogun, which is why he was sentenced to death even though he is still alive thanks to the yokai who became his followers.

“Mr Akio, until when should we fight against that evil yokai?” ask Akashi. He is a half yokai creature who seems to crave peace even though he often steals food from every house of the population.

To that end, Akio could not answer it at all. He then moved from there and then decided to return to Mikio's residence.

Only one he remembers, which is most likely to serve as a clue to finding the controlling yokai.

Mikio's grave, his body.

“Mr Akio is home!”

“Oh, really? Over where? Over where? Quickly hide Master before that tengu grandpa comes again!”

Kizu and Nekomata are most hysterical when Akio is back home.

“Hei, Akashi! Take Mr Akio and hide him in the closet!”

“Eh? Why?”

Akio raised his hand, spontaneously Akashi, Kizu and Nekomata were silent. While Akio walked over to Mikio's tomb which was located right in the middle of the courtyard.

“Mr Akio ..,”

First he took off his oni mask and clenched his hands in front of his chest to pray for the dead, then he began to dig the ground there. The tomb itself.

Srak! Srak!

“Eh?! What happened to Mr Akio?” ask Kizu to panic.

“Rurpressed?” think Yasha.

“Don't ngaco' you! Mr Akio is strong!” sahut Akashi defended him.

“No, no. Waita minute. Maybe you did it because you wanted to?” chirps Nekomata.

“Don't equate Mr. Akio with you, you cat.” Kizu folded her arms while staring cynically at Nekomata.

Akio thought carefully that finding out about that yokai, there was no other way but to ask the corpse himself. But surely not really talking to that cold corpse.

“What is this? He suddenly stopped.” Kizu looked solemnly at Akio who was silent there.

“As expected, she is possessed,” says Yasha.

“You are possessed. Watch out you say it once again I'll sew your mouth,” Kizu said.

“Sst! Mr. Akio was examining the body of the man. So shut up,” said Akashi.

Intrigued, Yasha, Kizu and Nekomata then approach Akio. All of them including Akashi were watching the corpse carefully.

Akio touched the face of the corpse with one of his index fingers. And what happened after that, the face raised a crack. Little by little it was fragile, as if this corpse was just a puppet.

“This ...there is still his evil aura. His aura still firmly stuck.”

“How's lecture? Didn't Yasha say that this guy fought against that yokai and lost?” ask Akashi.

“What a pity, maybe his soul will not calm down before the yokai is obliterated,” Yasha said.

“Can't we save him first?” ask Kizu.

“No. All of us who are still alive will not be able to interfere with the long dead.”

That sentence made them all silent, true what he said but Akio's current feelings were like being crushed from within. It's been killing and controlling the body, it's clearly an insult.

“Mr Akio, no need to rush. Sir bothered to dig up Mikio's grave ground only to find that yokai clue right?” yasha.

Akio nodded his head once.

“So that's why he opened his coffin. But if only the body is damaged like this, what might be a clue?”

“As you feel Kizu, evil aura from yokai controller.”

Akashi and Nekomata both sniffed the smell of the evil aura. Then look for it in which direction it is possible to find the evil aura it is coming from. But the result is nil.

“Ikiryo.” Tengu's grandfather, Naruhaya appeared right behind Akio at this moment. He calls the name yokai which is Akio's main target. React alone all yokai including Akio quickly avoid him as soon as he heard a familiar voice.

“The grandfather appeared! Ah!! Shitty!” pekik Kizu's.

“Hei, Akio. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Aren't you supposed to figure out where your grandfather went after that mountain top house burned down?” sahut the grandfather.

Akio went back to wearing the oni mask, then shook his head without answering anything. Slowly his footsteps differed so backward he felt afraid of the fist grandfather had just shown.

“Why did you step by step avoid me? I just want to talk, Akio.”

Speaking softly while showing an innocent smile so precisely it looks suspicious in everyone's eyes.

“You should thank me for letting your mother go to meet her missing son, then make this house so you can stay here for a while. But let me hear what you just did yesterday huh?”

Akio was sitting limp there while the little grandfather's body seemed to grow. He glared at Akio so much he was furious at him. Not only angry then maybe the fist will soon float.

BUAKKK!!

“You! Boy doesn't know at profit! Still moving as good as he can! You didn't know that being discovered would make you die alone huh?!”

While raging, the tengu grandfather continued to throw punches until Akio ended up battered in the face.
