Taro attacks him and demands to know what information he has while threatening him with a knife. Takeshi, Angel, and Nina pull him off and apologize to the man who runs away in fear calling them freaks. Takeshi tells Taro about how he is too aggressive, short tempered and doesn't think before he acts. Taro accuses Takeshi of how he doesn't jump on a chance whenever it arrives. The two argue and refuse to talk to each other for the rest of the day.

At night Angel tells Nina that Takeshi and Taro must work together as it makes them stronger. They decide to talk to each of them to get them to reconcile.

Nina, angry, gets out and pulls Taro in and the two start fighting. Angel and Nina break them up and Nina admits she's afraid of water. Taro decides to help Nina overcome her fear along with Takeshi and Angel. The next day at public pool Taro and Takeshi tell how they were taught to swim at a young age and Angel says she's always naturally been drawn to water. Nina is able to get in but doesn't want to go into the deep end. The next day they are attacked by one of Kyofusho's insect mutants. Kyofusho snatches a gem and throws it into the river.

I've been pretty busy this month as I have moved to a different state. But I will give another post from My Story. Here Kyofusho decides to use another trick to gain control of our heroes.

Opening

Kyofusho finds a lizard hatchling and proceeds to injure it and then possess it to gain control of the group knowing they're animal lovers.

Takeshi and Taro suspect something unusual about the lizard but let Angel take it home. The lizard then follows Angel everywhere including to school which baffles everyone. Taro and Nina both suspect Kyofusho might be playing a trick. Angel appears but doesn't seem herself, she acts rudely and demands to know where the scrolls and gems are kept. Takeshi realizes she is being possessed by Kyofusho and he quickly finds the lizard and uses his powers to sense the prescence of Kyofusho. Takeshi finds a rare plant that is said to be the antidote which he feeds to Angel which causes her to snap out of it. Angel thanks Takeshi for saving her.

Ending

My Story: Hawkwing

Now we have a post in My Story and here I will introduce a new character. Like I mentioned this new character will throw things for a curveball and add conflict to the story.

Opening

A flashback shows a 11-year-old Nina meeting Hawkwing, a 15-year-old hawk obake with powers of  birds of prey. Nina befriends him and even develops a slight infatuation with him as both have had loved ones killed by anti-obake activists.

Summary

Hawkwing moves to Japan and Nina recognizes him. Taro immediately becomes jealous and suspicious of Hawkwing as he's friendly to Nina and Angel but acts cold to him. Takeshi tells him he understands his feelings but shouldn't stoop low about it and should handle it maturely. The next day they gang encounter demons sent by Kyofusho. Hawkwing comes in and defeats them easily singlehandedly. While Nina is grateful Taro believes it could be set up as Hawkwing could probably not have defeated them that easily. An annoyed Nina tells Taro that he should be grateful which starts an argument between Taro and Nina.

Ending

In a secret location Hawkwing meets with Kyofusho and his allies to tell him that the plan went perfectly revealing Hawkwing is joining forces with the main villains of the story. For now it is unknown to the main characters. The demon attack with Hawkwing saving everyone was setup by Kyofusho and Hawkwing.

Overview

So we have a new character who we see is on the villains side unknown to our main heroes. Tune in for the next post.
