Samurai Oni
THE ARRIVAL OF KAZUKI

Approximately one hour after the fight that began the yokai who are still not clear subtleties.

Akio stepped forward while using a wooden stick for him to walk. He was able to move as long as his legs were still normal, he risked a lot of time just to head to someone's residence. None other than this Daimyou in Bama, Kazuki Eichi.

However, he was already unable to travel beside his re-open wound. In the end he fell before he got there, and just be in the housing of residents.

“Hey is it true that he is Samurai Oni? Shouldn't we just kill him? He doesn't deserve to live, does he? He should have been executed from then on.”

“Be quiet, Ara. This guy saved you once, didn't he? At least I want to reply.”

“Why should help a villain like him, Dad?”

“Criminals? Have you seen him do evil all this time?”

“Ugh! Hah, stop! Just be careful if you get caught by someone else! I don't want responsibility!”

The only daughter of one of the residents who saved Akio went from her half-destroyed house. While his father was still sitting quietly waiting until Akio opened his eyes.

Akio's face looks very clear, there is a scar that will forever imprint on the corner of the lips. The mask was right next to him. There was a bit of light coming through the hole in the roof of this house, and once Akio opened his eyes, he felt glare for a moment.

“Slight!” He turned his face away while raising his arms to cover his vision.

“Oh, you finally came to your senses too, son.”

Akio immediately realized that he was not outside but inside someone's house. Akio then glanced in all directions to find out the place.

Then a man who was close to him at this time replied, “It's okay. There are no enemies here. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone where you are.”

“Besides my own daughter,”.

“Thank you. Sorry to trouble.”

He can't stay here long. He also could not forget the events that had happened to him so long that he did not realize the wound on his left thigh was still not recovered.

Bruk!

When he was about to get up, Akio then fell down. The wound was still not healed, making it difficult to move.

“Do not move as you like. You're a sick man. Your leg is still not healed.”

“I have to go,” said Akio while wearing the oni mask back.

“Cannot. With wounds like that. At least rest for one day.”

“I should have said so. You better rest. Where's my sword? Don't tell me you're holding it?”

“Your sword I saved, but the other one is right next to you. I can't touch it directly.”

“Oh, where are you going Retsuji?” As he asked the whereabouts of one more sword, Akio stood with both hands. Then slowly he took Onryou.

The man who had saved Akio's life then replied, “Not will I answer.”

“Hah? Bullshit again. Already, quickly give me that sword now.”

“You are indeed a proud boy. But I can't let you go in a wounded state!” This man insisted that Akio stay inside the house to recover his severe injuries.

But Akio as usual, he would always refuse no matter how hard this person persuaded him.

“I'm busy. No break time.”

“Stop that careless act of yours now!” his screeches while pushing Akio back onto the bed.

“Ti—!” Akio's words came to a halt, then was surprised at the arrival of a number of people at the door. Both Akio and this host were both speechless with puzzled expressions.

“Alright, thank you. Then, can you be outside for a moment? There are things we want to talk about.”

“Y-ya.”

“Ara!” The father was very surprised because it turned out that his daughter called a Samurai, who was Daimyou and some of his men now.

“You too,” said the man who had just come to the savior Akio.

“Please, Sir!” This man was about to defend Akio. But Daimyou understood, he then raised both his hands.

And said, “No need to worry.” While smiling a friendly smile.

After that, Akio only left with Daimyou Bama, Kazuki Eichi. Then Muta, Tokuto and the other two came along.

“Tuan ..no, Akio. You hurt?” He was to the point of bothering himself to subdue his body just to look at the wounds that Akio had.

“Yes. Why are you here?”

“It looks like you were attacked.”

“What Are the Warriors of Hell? I saw Ningyou and a grandfather,” thought Akio.

“Not. But true, those two must have been a disaster. Thank goodness that came only two.”

“Not ...but true? Whatchu mean? I don't understand what you're saying at all. What did Daimyou come here for? Ah, must be troublesome isn't it?” talk with a little bit of insinuation.

“You who left leave us. And now it's driving away. You brat don't know manners,” sniff Kazuki while pinching the back of his head.

Akio snorted in annoyance because a Daimyou came at him with great pretentiousness, making him sick. Then he turned his face away, while holding back his emotions as much as possible.

“Listen. The two yokai who are against you today are indeed them. But those who come today are not their physical forms but only shadows.” Kazuki.

“Ha?” Akio did not understand. Even if he tried to understand it, he did not understand it.

“Listen. Just shadows, other meanings they are not original.” Once again Kazuki tried to explain.

“Ah, so.” Akio finally understood. “So they are not original. Then why is it that strong?”

Kazuki glanced back, trying to make sure no outsiders eavesdropped on their conversation. After it was confirmed that there was nothing, Kazuki then approached and whispered something to Akio.

“Tomorrow days are disaster days for Shinpi-tekina country. The Hell Warriors numbering around 5 cursed yokai will come. Then, you just met two of them in shadow form.”

“Then?”

“Think more mature before acting careless. You know how strong they are when not in their original form, right? You've felt it.”

“Yes. Thas right. They're very strong. Butwhy? Why appear in shadow form?” akio asked not to understand.

“As Ramuro said, you might be made a bait.” Kazuki said it with his eyes closed while nodding his head repeatedly.

“A—!” Then stop Akio who was about to go berserk by raising his hand.

“Umpan won't be valid forever. You're bait ..no, you're a strong and independent samurai.”

“I asked why those who are not genuine can be that strong? And what reason did they appear in such a state?” ask Akio again.

“I don't know that yet. I also know you fought with them from Mizunashi. Then, I ask you to stay in this city. Understand?”

That day, Kazuki Eichi asks Akio to remain silent until dawn. With a serious face, I don't know what plan they made to fight the damned yokai.
