Samurai Oni
YUUREI - TAKAO I

An unnatural figure had appeared. Akio instantly realized there was someone glancing towards him. Soon he left, but without carrying two swords, the two swords followed him.

“What's Mr Akio?” Akashi went into a panic.

“There was something just.”

“Oh, it looks like he's lost,” Yasha thought.

The figure was long aware of the arrival of a samurai who ran up to him. Because of fear, then he immediately left with a foot that does not tread as if floating in the air. He darted fast enough, but certainly not easily separated from Akio.

Using his wooden sword, while he used a tree trunk to dart faster towards him, while Akio's sword almost hit him was actually held back by Yasha who suddenly appeared in plain sight.

“Yasha.”

“Ya, sorry, Mr. Akio. This is Yuurei (ghost), a ghost. A lost soul, more or less the same as Mikio but this man was a little different.” Yasha explained it a little.

“Yuurei?”

“HIIII! What kind of samurai is he?! He has a scary air, help me Yasha!” the ghost shrieks, screaming in fear and hiding behind Yasha's back.

“Already, already, calm down Yuurei. This Samurai Oni guy's name is Akio. This man is not as cruel as you think.”

“Eh, lie.”

“I don't lie.”

Long story short, Yuurei is a ghost. Souls who are lost and roam the Kuran region. It was Yuurei who was once told by Yasha. The embodiment of a long-deceased person is now looking for a place to return to the real world, but he has difficulties.

Before long, Akashi approached. They were really surprised as soon as they saw Yuurei's tall, hard-to-touch stature. As if transparent or indeed its form is in the form of a translucent soul.

“People die?” akashi asked still in disbelief, how much he tried to reach Yuurei which then ended up impossible.

“Ya, true Akashi. Yuurei is Yuurei, but her real name is Takao Hatekayama.”

Hearing Hatekayama's name, Akio and grandfather were shocked. Both of them tried to ascertain something from the ghost, as if they did not believe it.

“This coward is part of Hatekayama's ancestor?” ask grandpa not to believe it.

“Do not joke,” he added then laugh.

“If you don't believe, why don't we visit his old tomb?”

In the end, they left the forest, then headed to the cemetery. There must have been many tombs inscribed with their names and swords. The longest tomb is the ancestral tomb, although it is slightly further from the current one.

The tomb is over 80 years old. Then they found the name Takao Hatekayama.

Yasha pointed to that name while thinking, “How do we just dig this tomb and make sure the bone size or height is the same?”

“Diggering the ancestral tomb is inappropriate, yokai.”

“And don't say that while smiling,” said Akashi was disturbed.

“You all don't believe me? It is true that I see myself as a coward. I have no samurai blood. Only their adopted child.” Yuurei named Takao revealed.

“Takao Hatekayama. If may I know, why can your soul get lost?” asked grandpa full of politeness.

“If you ask so, I myself do not know how to answer it. The only thing I remember, I was lost between the world and the afterlife.”

“Missed between two worlds huh. Hm, that's an unbelievable reality.”

“Really right? I also thought no one would believe me. But believe me, I was a priest and the thing I remember is real.”

“Yes. It could be.”

Yuurei, Takao Hatekayama. This man was once only a child of kara but then he was adopted by the clan. He chose his own path, not as a samurai but as a priest. Not many people know about him.

And as soon as Takao leaves the world, he suffers a terrible fate after meeting the powerful yokai of the time, thus making his soul trapped between the human world and the afterlife.

After that, Takao faces the "eggs", inside which lies a cursed yokai. That's when Takao realized it. Where there is a gap between this world and that then yokai born of hatred will descend into one of those worlds.

“Yokai is there. It's scary, the numbers are more than I imagined.”

“It was terrible. Why didn't you tell me?” ask Yasha.

“Yasha, I didn't tell you because you know yokai. You think I'll just trust you?” sahut Takao makes sense.

“So I am not considered.” A wry smile was clearly plastered on Yasha's heavily disappointed face.

“Sorry, Yasha. Maybe I should have said this since you met that samurai.”

“The samurai? What do you mean Mikio?” thought the grandfather.

Takao nodded his head, the sign was true.

“Then, because I was stuck there, I did not know what to say because suddenly a large black blob pushed me back into this world. But as you can see,” said Takao.

Takao intends to say that he returned to the world because he was driven by something in the form of a black blob, not as a whole human but only his soul.

“Then I thought, "Nearly" and, "I thought I'd be an evil spirit too", like that,” Takao said.

“It is true that if human spirits get lost they will make their souls damaged and so easily controlled by yokai. But Mr. Takao it must be a great priest, yes.”

“Cannot be. I still have to learn from my teacher,” said Takao humbly.

“Thank you, Mr. Takao Hatekayama. I'm glad you said that. Because it's possible that something is controlling the yokai at the moment.”

“Ya, thank you back.”

Something that meets the soul of Takao when it is between the world and the afterlife, is the person who has been controlling the cursed yokai. That's what grandpa Tengu thought.

“Something that can be anyone. It could even be that it is Takao or maybe one of us,” said Akio gave an opinion.

“You're right, Akio. We must not be off guard, because yokai can be in various forms, but because until now it has not been found so he is good at hiding himself,” said grandfather.

“If we had found a clue to find it. Then this country will no longer be haunted by yokai, right?” Kizu.

“True. I don't want this country to suffer as much as Mr. Akio.”

“You don't remember what his trademark is, Mr Pastor?” ask Nekomata as he approaches.

“HIIII!! MONSTER!” takao screams in fear, again he hides behind Yasha's back.

“Yuurei, this is Nekomata. Although he hates humans very much but not with Mr. Akio or spirits like you,” Yasha said.

“Be-so. So, what's your question?” Nervously he asked again.

“You know yokai's trademark?”

“I don't know. Besides black blob.”

In essence, there are no other special features anymore.
