Samurai Oni
HARU AND HIGO

“Mr Akio, actually go where?”

Akashi, who has been ostracized by Akio himself, is lost looking for a way. Sometimes people see it with a strange look, he will immediately leave the road and go to another road.

“Master Akio is looking for that beautiful yokai? Ouch, drugging. Can't be blown away.”

While Kizu who was in the room in the Flower House was worried about the state of Akio who might have been slammed by the beauty of yokai.

While Nekomata pondered silently on a rocky corner near the bridge to the capital. He seemed restless, of course, after the message from the female yokai was delivered to Akio, Akio also scowled annoyed and even said sadistic sentences in front of him.

“He said he didn't need me? Uh, lest I be banished? MIAWWW!!”

Nekomata will never leave Akio. Although Akio's words were very sadistic, he had to respond patiently.

One by one Akio's followers began to fret over Akio who seemed to be angry. They don't know what to do, and each of them has their own job.

**

Because even now, Akio is facing a yokai creature without a name or can be said to be unknown. The woman who used to wear bridal clothes, finally showed her form once again in the same clothes.

“Looks like I'm taking too much time. Then I'll go.”

Dak! Dak!

The Yokai was prevented from leaving, and the doors and windows were shut. Hima and her two sons were shocked by the loud noise. They began to wonder what was really going on but Hima hugged them along with her baby, and said it would be best if they were quiet enough for now.

“I can't get out?”

Not only were the doors and windows closed, even Akio had prepared some barrier creation spell papers for the yokai who would not be able to get out of this room. Akio threw some of the spell paper between the two doors and windows and even on the ceiling and floor.

“Mother, what's up?” ask Higo in a whisper.

“Do not know. Just shut up.” Hima shook her head in a fit of resignation.

Haru felt disturbed, as well as the presence of this red baby. This baby never stopped crying when Akio came, as if the baby was just afraid of an Akio. Haru who explained it still could not say it carelessly.

Because all he could monitor from the gap of the curtain right now was a man pulling his sword.

'The mask ..' Haru sat down, as he opened a small section of the curtain.

Once again he said in his mind, 'If it is not wrong the person wearing the mask is the Samurai Oni. Really it? Dad said he was a great man. If so, is it possible that he came to finish off this baby as well?' he thought as he glanced at the red baby in the arms of Hima, his mother.

“What's Haru?” Her mother asked Haru who had been glancing at the baby since.

“Mother ..,”

“No! Kak Haru just said carelessly. This baby, our sister is supposed to be a demon by brother. So I'm not gonna let him vilify my dear sister.” Higo.

“What are you talking about, Higo? It's not good to say that.”

“Because sister really said it!” higo shouted with annoyance as he pointed at Haru.

Haru quickly silenced his sister's mouth, while hissing softly, he said, “Don't say anything more.”

“Can we talk for a minute? I just want to help you. Help eliminate the baby. But you came as if you wouldn't let me.”

“Women who give out murderous desires like you?” syndir Akio.

His words immediately pierced into the heart. I don't know what the yokai felt, but he was resigned because he had been surrounded by a force that could have purified him. Touching the end of the door alone would make it vanish, where perhaps the yokai dared to take a step.

“I'm not yokai as bad as you think. Don't get me wrong.”

“No.”

Grasping Retsuji's sword was proof that Akio wouldn't be easily tricked.

“Hah ..I'm really sorry for taking your job all of a sudden. But I beg you believe me.”

Ignoring much of the woman's nonsense, Akio moved closer with a slight jump, swinging his sword at her.

After the sword slashed him in two, the yokai turned into dozens of butterflies. They were all flying in one place without even moving. After Akio raised his sword again, the butterfly fused again and made the yokai form come back intact.

'Lying! That woman yokai? And again, after being attacked his body intact again?' Haru said in his mind, stunned by the sight before his eyes.

For the first time Haru witnesses a samurai fighting the yokai head-on. That's why he was so surprised. While Higo can only hide himself, because he is very scared.

“You won't be able to do that in front of human eyes right? I know it. Therefore, let me do it.”

There was nothing wrong with the way he wielded the sword as well as the techniques he had long learned. But the reality had become futile once Akio faced off with this foreign female yokai.

There was not the slightest attack capable of scraping even for his clothes alone. Akio could not reach this yokai at all. Really, very different when compared to the cursed yokai-yokai that he often encounters.

“Then, I was very upset because your destiny never changed. I'm upset just because you tried so hard. Why?”

Moreover, all these words of this woman were nothing that Akio could understand. It was as if the yokai was talking to someone else, not Akio himself.

“Hey, take a break.”

After attacking him who moved places, Akio quickly turned his body after his original existence. But what happened was, the woman was already right in front of Akio. There was no gap to attack him even when it was this close.

“This sword is beautiful. But you haven't mastered it like you used to. Please, back off for now. Let me—”

SHAKK!!

Slashing as fast as the wind, Akio was finally able to slash a butterfly which meant scratching the arm of the original yokai form.

“It is true he said, that it is useless to invite you to talk for now.”

The situation became unsettled, after Akio launched dozens of attacks that ended in vain. Retsuji had actually slashed at him yet all that happened was scraping or not even at all.

As well, the aura from the yokai was not emitting a killing intent directly on Akio but on someone else. Not knowing who, but Akio thinks that the yokai woman will actually do her job.

“You're with him yokai. I won't let you all escape from this place!”
