The Cursed Bloodline
General Kitsune

Mirai stared at the astonished giant tree in front of her. His feet still felt trembling, due to the effects of rapid tree growth that could shake the plains. A mystical tree, with a powerful life energy was growing in front of him. Mirai even had to raise her head hard, to see the end of the tree up there

"This is the gateway to the world of the Yokai, Miong! "

Nekonin then stomped his feet slowly. The huge trunk of the giant tree suddenly split into two halves. Increasingly widened, to form a door with a black fog that enveloped him. Another dimensional portal was created right in front of Mirai

"Don't tell me, we're going in there?! " pointing Zou scared. His gaze now turned towards Nekonin who nodded slowly

" It's the only path that humans can cross to get to the Yokai World. And also, I want to give you guys something! Meow! " Neconin took out three brown marble-sized pills

" You guys should swallow this particular pill. During your time in the world of Yokai, you must be Yokai. This pill will help you change your form! Meow"

Mirai hesitantly took the pill that Nekonin had given her. What does it mean that he must turn into a demon to enter the world of Yokai?!

"Whatchu mean? Are you telling us to turn into you? "

" That's one of the conditions you have to follow. In the Yokai world, there is a Kitsune General (fox demon) who hates the presence of Humans. He does not hesitate to behead a human if he knows someone is trying to infiltrate his world.

And also, this is all to protect you from the Yokai warriors. Because, as long as you are in the world of Yokai, the magic you have will weaken. Even to perform some manipulation techniques, I thought it would be difficult! Meow! "

Everyone seems to doubt. If it was true that Nekonin had said, in this mission they would have to risk their lives if they wanted to reach where the third Pillar Stone was located

" So we're gonna lose our magic?! " murm Nee

" Not all, but your magic power will be very limited. Small techniques are no problem. The problem is when you get caught by General Kitsune.

He will definitely not let you get away with it. The most important thing about this mission, is to pass through the gates of the Yokai region without anyone realizing that you are human. Understood it! Meow! "

Mirai clenched her hands tightly, she could not give up so easily. Nue and all the evil energy that the monster caused was enough to take its toll. Without hesitation, Mirai swallowed the pill Nekonin had given him.

" Mirai! You- "Zou was so surprised by Mirai's actions. He didn't even know what was in the pill. What's more about giving it away is just a narcissistic cat who's afraid of losing his precious mustache.

Unlike Zou who parno, Nee follows Mirai swallowing the pill

"Hey! What are you doing, Nee?! We don't even know the contents" yet Zou had time to finish his words. Nee takes the pill in Zou's hand and stuffs the medicine into the chatty man in front of him

"Slow down! If it's poisonous, at least we'll die together! " said Nee flat.

There was no effect, Mirai had yet to notice any strange signs of her body. Until Zou's shout broke his concentration

" aaa! Wh-what is this i-this? " said Zou while pointing at the tail growing behind his body. Tails are small but long.

Not only that, two round ears also grew on his head. Zou began to feel itchy on his head, without him noticing he was scratching his head in a typical style.

Mirai's eyes were rounded when she saw Zou. His view becomes empty. Until a few seconds later, a mocking smile was engraved on his cute face

"Zou! You- " said Mirai while making laughter." Ptff..... You look like Moyet! Ahahaha! It suits you! " Mirai could no longer stem the laughter. Seeing Zou's empty expression with his new look made his stomach ache because he kept laughing!

" Mirai you! " zou's hands clenched firmly. He immediately ran to the edge of the lake. Looking at his current appearance, Zou's expression seemed to be stirring in silence. He is still human but the tail and ears of monkeys grow in his body

" There are so many kinds of animals. Why a monkey?! " sorry Zou. He looked at Nekonin sharply. The cat immediately shifted his eyes. Trying to avoid the gaze of killing Zou. Of course, this is part of Nekonin's retaliation for Zou's actions to tickle his body

" Look out you narcissistic cat! "

Mirai and Nee begin to feel the effects of her body. Cat butter grows on Mirai's head, while a pretty tail also adorns the back of her body. Even so, Mirai's appearance actually impressed more cute.

Nee beubah became a handsome wolf demon figure. His scary look still looks the same. The three of them finally turned into half-stealthy humans and prepared to go to the Yokai world

"Your time in that state is only 24 hours. During that time you must successfully search for the pillar stone and return in time. If the Yokai knew you were human, you would never be out of that world! Meow! "

Mirai, Zou and Nee exchanged glances. They also understand. With a round determination, they stepped forward and began to enter the magic portal that Nekonin had created.

" Come on in! "

Nekonin just looked blankly at the portal that had already engulfed Mirai and the others. Sometimes he saw the sky that began to darken due to twilight. The brightest stars began to make their appearance

"Is it true, those humans who are destined to meet Tora-sama?! Like the prophecy of 'the most luminous stars shining upon the earth, will visit to meet their destiny' "he murmured

......................

Mirai and the others walked down the pitch-black vacuum. Faintly they saw a light at the end of the road. While narrowing his eyes, glare. Mirai walked slowly towards that light source. They came out from within the same tree trunk as the previous giant tree. Until his body felt a cold breeze welcome his presence

Mirai blinked her eyes for a moment, the bright light was so dazzling. Slowly, he began to open his eyes, finding a stunning scene recorded in his lavender iris. Tubub Mirai was stunned for a moment.

A beautiful forest welcomed his presence. The sunlight penetrated straight into the dense branches of the trees. Thousands of butterflies and birds chirp alternately. While the green plains in front of him were filled with various types of beautiful flowers. A dream forest that holds great power and mystery in it.

Mirai, Zou and Nee were still stunned by the scene before him. Country in the middle of nowhere, but looks the same with their world.

"Is this really the land of the Yokai? " murm Nee doesn't believe. Without them noticing, a bow with sharp arrows aimed right at their bodies

Krettt... Dasshss....

The arrow shot out, Zou who sensed the presence of someone managed to see the slingshot of the arrow that was heading towards them. He immediately pushed Mirai's body away

"All! Evade! "

Brass....

The bodies of the three of them bounced off falling into the abyss. The figure aiming at them was just standing watching. The figure turned into a white fox and then disappeared from there.

"Arkh! Who would dare to attack us?! " Mirai started to rise from where he fell. The entire joint was painful and stiff due to falling from a high place.

" You guys are okay? " Mirai looked at the other two colleagues.

" It might just be the Yokai warriors standing guard around the gate! We have to be fast, time goes on until the effects of the drug run out" said Nee while watching the situation around

They also immediately left. Traverse the depths of the forest until it ends in a strange gate guarded by several stealth in the form of dog people. From the way they dressed, Mirai was sure they were the gatekeepers Nekonin had said

Mirai and the others hide in the thickets, watching the situation until the perfect time to start disguising themselves. They put a hood on their head, as much as possible to ring the face behind the black cloak they wear

"You guys ready? " mirai said as she looked at her two comrades. Nee and Zou nodded. They began to come out of hiding and walked calmly towards the guards.

" Who's there? " ask a guard. He was a dog, standing on both feet with a sharp spear. With a keen sense of smell, the dog warrior tried to sniff out the smell of Mirai and the others

" You guys aren't Yokai here? What do you need to come here! " sternly the prajuits while on standby

Mirai and the others fell silent for a moment. " K-our Yokai new guard. K-ami was sent by Nekonin who was in the human world for some reason. M-meow! " said Mirai while mimicking the Nekonin dialect

Nekonin advised, to pass the care they must give a strong reason. Yokai living in the human world is not small. Some of them can still survive and blend in with humans. Either live in the depths of the forest or secluded in a dangerous mountain range far from human reach

The guards approached Mirai and the others. They could not completely trust the newcomers. While glancing at the appearance of Mirai and the others sharply, they surrounded Mirai suspiciously. Nothing is strange. The guards began to lower their guard

"Try removing your headgear! " their orders. Mirai, Nee and Zou were slightly aghast. They had no choice but to remove their hoods.

" So you Yokai monkeys, cats and wolves! " said the soldiers after seeing the appearance of the three of them. The guards decided to let them in

" Nothing is suspicious! All! Come inside! Welcome to Yokai Village! "

Mirai and the others were finally able to breathe freely. They also want to put their feet in. Yet another arrow struck them

Brasss...

Dak....

This time the shot was deliberately missed. The arrow only hit the ground right beside Mirai standing. The attack, made Mirai's body freeze instantly.

"You people! Stop there! " said a voice that came from nowhere. Mirai who was still standing was looking to see the origin of the sound.

A white fox approached them. An elegant fox figure with a fluffy fur color as smooth as silk and as white as snow. A Kitsune (Dome Demon) usually has 3-9 tails depending on their age. Strangely, however, the fox only had one tail left.

Kitsune's figure is now transformed into a soldier with a beautiful white Kimono. Impressed ancient but does not deny the usefulness of its users. While his face, he hid it in a golden fox mask.

"General you're coming! " says the soldiers Respect. Mirai and the others finally understood, who was the figure that had just appeared before them. The person they should avoid. General Kitsune Gate Guard.

" human. As great as anything could never cover the stench that came out of his body. Greed, cruelty, the fishy smell of blood as well as arrogance. The smell was always on their bodies. And I hate that smell so much! "

Hearing that, Zou immediately sniffed the smell of his robe. Is that really what they are?

" I'm sure our bodies aren't that happy! " he was relaxed

" Zou! " mertak Mirai and Nee together. Even in such conditions, the tomato-headed boy. No, the monkey-headed boy was still taking on a threat casually

The General Kitsune began to approach the most chatty figure among the three. He began to notice Zou's appearance from top to bottom

"I know the smell of a fox is sharper than a dog. But you can't sniff someone without permission, Mr. General. That's not polite his name! "

" I'm sure! You are from the human realm! Now quickly tell me why you came here! " said General Kitsune firmly

" We told you, we were-"

Brass....

General Kitsune suddenly hit Zou's chest tight. Making a pill that changed their bodies out forcibly from inside Zou's mouth

"Uhuk! Uhuk! What are you doing?! " grunts Zou. A moment after that, he realized his human form was back as usual.

" I guessed it! You humans are trying to infiltrate our world! All! Catch those humans! " the command of Jendra Kitsune. All the soldiers surrounded Mirai and the others

" Damn it! " Zou saw everyone surrounded. The situation became out of control, one of the few they would die in the hands of Yokai warriors. If one wanted to succeed, one would have to be the bait in this kind of situation

" Nee! The mirai! Quick run from here! I'll stop you all! " says Zou.

" Where are you?! " cried Nee

" I can protect myself! There is no time! Run away! "

Because the magic in his body had recovered. Zou activates his Gyokunya. He also made the soldiers paralyzed with the power of small needles of magic

" Damn it! This place is surrounded by a protective magic. My magic power is not working well in this place! Even though I have already taken out that special pill from my body! "

General Kitsune would not remain silent. He blew a whistle and sent a signal to the other guard. He was about to chase Mirai and the others. However, Zou directly confronted him

" Your business is with me! Mr Jendra! " said Zou while stretching out both hands

" remove! Or I'll kill you right here! " threaten the General Kitsune. He immediately slammed into Zou's body. But Zou would not let the Kitsune just leave

He also pulled Kitsune's hand. His body fell to the ground. Reflek, Kitsune does not want to fall alone. He pulls Zou's body to fall with him

Bruckkk....

They eventually fell to the ground. With the position of Zou who oppresses the general. Zou's eyes were perfectly rounded. When his hands were on two chewy objects belonging to the General. Zou gulped roughly. It seemed like his hand landed on the forbidden ground.

"I-I don't know K-you're a girl! " murm Zou stammered as he looked straight into the mask of the General. The silhouette of the aquamarine eyes looks pretty in there

" Stop away from me! You Stupid Man! "
