Yo-Kai Watch Another Watcher Season 2
-Chapter 1-
Basic Zero
Hello, everyone. I know what I will say is crazy and you may think I am lying. Well…what I'm going to say is all true, but let's me start from the beginning. So, my name is Kenneth Aichi, but everyone calls me Ken. My mother and I moved to Japan to start a new life, in a town called Sakura New Town. I thought it will be very uninteresting place to live, despites that Japan is like the home of video games, manga, and anime, if you are interested in those kinds of stuff, but that all changed when I found a strange capsule machine.
This is where the crazy parts happen. So, I heard voices from the machine, telling me to use it. It got so annoying that I gave in. I used my first-ever Japanese coin I received from my mother into the machine, and it gave me a single capsule. I opened it, and it popped open, revealing a ghost maid named Yuray, and she claims to be a thing called Yokai. I didn't believe my eyes at first, but she gave me this strange device called "Yokai Watch", which allows me to see other Yokai. Apparently, she explains to me Yokai is a creature that lurks everywhere, causing all kinds of misshapen to people and other phenomenon in the world. Ever since I met Yuray, my life turned into a complete ruckus and full of misadventures. Even though there were annoying and weird times, I enjoyed some of the moments. However, my story has only just begun, and it gets tougher from here as if I was fated to get the Yokai Watch, for better or for worse…
Ken looked around, seeing only darkness. "Where…am I?" he asked, looking around.
Suddenly, a tall man appeared, but his face didn't reveal due to the fact that he was looking away from Ken.
"Is that…dad?" Ken gasped. The man walked away from him.
"Ah! Wait, dad, hold up! Dad, come back! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddd!" Ken woke up abruptly, sweating as he looked around, realizing that he was actually in his bedroom.
"Just a….nightmare," he mumbled, getting out of the bed. He also noticed something or somebody missing. "Hey, where are Yuray and Lasagnyan?"
"Wow! Amazing!" He heard a scream from downstairs.
"Hee-haw! Now, that is what I call savvy!" He went downstairs quickly to see what's going on.
He found the two yokai in his living, watching TV and also noticed that Yuray's Yokai Pad was connected to the TV through USB cable.
"Oh! Good evening, Master Ken!" Yuray exclaimed. "I hope we didn't wake you up badly."
"Um, no…I woke up fine," he lied. "Say, what's going on here? What's with the screaming and stuff?"
"Check it out yourself, partner." Lasagnyan pointed to the TV. He took a look, seeing what appeared to be a humanoid shark in a black T-shirt.
"Let's take a look at the new Yokai Watch right here and now!" announced the humanoid shark, which Ken now knows that this being is a Yokai, like Yuray and Lasagnyan.
"Yes, yes! Show it to me!" Yuray hugged the TV, slamming her face on the screen.
"Hey Yuray, you're blocking the television!" Lasagnyan cried.
"Get off my TV, Yuray!" Ken yelled as he pulled or peeled her off from the TV.
"The new Yokai Watch…is this one!" He picked it out of his pocket. The new model was blue, with red and yellow in the center. It only had three numbers, with 1 at the 3 o'clock, 2 at the opposite side, and 0 at the six o'clock. It also had a small red switch on the side.
The Yokai duo awed at the new watch while Ken blew a whistle to show that he was impressed.
"The name of this new Yokai Watch is…Yokai Watch Model Zero!" The Yokai announced.
"Yokai Watch Model Zero?" The trio repeated at the same time.
"This model is both old new and new old technology. A certain man built this model in its initial state. Here at my company, Yopple, we were able to recreate the model and mass-produce it. This new Yokai Watch Model Zero adds new exciting features as to what the old, previous Yokai Watch was," he explained.
"Yes, yes!" Yuray nodded, jumping in excitement, like a kid at a candy store.
"The release date for this new model of Yokai Watch…" Yuray gripped both of her hands very tightly. "Is…" Yuray grinned so widely. "Now!" She exploded.
"Woo, they're releasing it now?" Ken asked.
"That Steve Jaws is really something, very bold of him to decide to release that new watch today. I guess he is really high cotton, y'all," Lasagnyan said. "What do you think, Yuray?"
Ken and Lasagnyan looked at Yuray, who already had backpack full of supplies ready. It looked as if she is going to camp trip.
"Master Ken, Lasagnyan, let's ride on the wave! My body is ready!" She exclaimed, posing with her fist in thrusting position as fires burned in the background.
"Aren't you rushing into this, y'all?" Lasagnyan asked.
"Yeah, and where are we going to go in the first place?" Ken questioned.
"No, I am not rushing, and we are going to the Yokai World!" Yuray revealed.
"Say what!?" he gasped. "Yokai World? I don't want to go there!"
"But…" Yuray cried in despair at the corner of the room. "I really want to buy the new model, just for you, Master Ken, but if that is your wish, I will obey."
"That's not what I meant," he sighed, sweat-dropping.
"Then let's go!" Yuray declared as she grabbed him.
"Hey wait! Let me change first!" Ken stated as he being dragged by his ghost maid.
Ken, Lasagnyan, and Yuray went outside, and headed to the river. It was still dark outside.
"How did I even consider doing this?" Ken mumbled. "And, why are we going out in the night?"
"The time in Yokai World is different from the time in the human world, Master Ken," she explained. "Oh, there they are!"
"Who?" Ken asked as he looked, noticing two familiar people.
"Oh? Ken, Lasagnyan, and Yuray!" Keita waved at them.
"Howdy, you two," Lasagnyan greeted.
"Keita and Whisper? Why are you two doing here?" Ken asked.
"I arranged with Mr. Whisper to meet with them, so we can go and buy the new Yokai Watch Model Zero together," Yuray admitted.
"Now that everyone's assembled, let's head to the Yokai World!" Whisper declared. "Keita, please summon Mirapo."
"Alright," he nodded. "Come out, my friend! Calling Mirapo! Yokai Medal, set on!"
Summoning Mysterious!
Boo-shiggy, boo-shiggy, boogie woogie!
Cling-clang delirious, Mysterious!
Mirapo!
A purple mirror Yokai appeared. "So, this is one of your Yokai friends, huh?" Ken asked.
"Yup," Keita replied.
"Let's go, everyone!" Whisper declared as he and everyone jumped into Mirapo.
"Here goes nothing," Ken said.
A flash of light enveloped Ken. The next thing he sees, he was astonished. There were tall cities, and some of them had eyeball. Street lights were also eyeballs, and the post had arms.
"So this is the Yokai World!?" he exclaimed.
"I can't believe we're here," Keita said, looking amazed as Ken.
"That's right, Master Ken and Mr. Keita, this is the Yokai World, the world where we, the yokai lives," Yuray explained.
"So, where is the store to buy the new Yokai Watch?" Keita wondered.
"Right this way, everyone!" Whisper leaded them to the nearby store.
When they arrived to the store, they were surprised. A very, very long line of Yokai waited at the store.
"Whhaaatt!?" Both Whisper and Yuray gasped.
Ken blew a whistle. "Well, this reminds me of the time when I got my first MyPhone."
"No, this can't be! These Yokai had beaten us for time!" Whisper exclaimed.
"We should've been here an hour earlier!" Yuray moaned.
"Huh?" Lasagnyan noticed something. "Hey y'all, I think I see a familiar bum in front of the line."
They saw and noticed a familiar red yokai cat sitting on a bench chair, under an umbrella for the shade, and wearing sunglasses.
"Jibanyan!? You're here, too," Keita said.
"Oh, it's you guys! What's up?" The red yokai cat greeted.
"You're the earliest bird here, Tomato Bum," Lasagnyan commented.
"Nya, nya, nya!" Jibanyan laughed. "I would correct you right now, but I really don't care now since I am first in line. As a Yokai who is an expert in waiting in long line, I know how to plan myself ahead for something like this."
"Smart cat," Ken stated.
"I believe the end of the line is all the way back there," Yuray pointed.
They had no choice, but went all the way to the back of the line. As they go to the end, they saw familiar faces. Strangely, they also noticed Keita's closet, which was now occupied by Hidabat, was also in line, but they ignored that for now.
"Hey, aren't that Komasan and his younger brother?" Keita pointed out. "And, who is that other Yokai that looks like them?"
"Oh! Her? Her name is, um…" Whisper took out his pad quickly, searching up the yokai's name.
"That's Komachan, Mr. Keita," Yuray answered before Whisper found it. "She is Komansan and Komajiro's older sister."
"They have an older sister!?" Keita looked surprised. "I never heard of her until now."
"Well, we met her like few months ago," Ken revealed. "And, it is a long story if I were to say to you about it. It's longer than this line for sure."
Komasan was reading a magazine on guide for winter vacation. "It says here that we got to wear coat and scarf while we wait outside."
"My gosh, big brother, you're prepared for everything!" Komajiro praised him.
"That's nice and all, but you know that it is summer right now," Komachan said, showing a cooler box, which she opened that contained a lot of cold drink.
"Monge! Look at all these drinks!" Komajiro's eyes sparkled. "Big sis, may I have this one?"
"Of course, Little Komajiro. All of these are for us," Komachan said, smiling. "Plus, I also have these chairs for us, too. Now we can just sit and relax while we wait."
"Monge! Thank you, big sis!" Komajiro praised their older sister.
"Wow, big sister is more prepared than me," Komasan mumbled. "I need to do better next time in order to impress Komajiro!"
"Awww, isn't that cute?" Yuray awed kindly.
They continued on to the end of the line when they stumbled upon more familiar yokai.
"Hey, hey, hey, waiting in long line sure is fun!" Walkappa opined joyfully. "Although, why we in line, anyway?"
"Who knows…?" Hungramps pondered.
"I guess not everyone here knows even the reason why they are in a line," Whisper commented.
"Seems like so," Keita agreed.
"This line, with so many Yokai from all over, comes here, to get the newest Yokai Watch Model Zero, is so….beautiful!" Beautiusa avowed.
"Yeah, yeah, I know right! I want the new Yokai Watch so badly! Waiting in the line is so much fun, but kind of dreadful sometimes. Like, there was this one time when my uncle in Osaka, you see…" Babblong babbled on.
"Aah, Babblong. He just doesn't change at all," Keita sighed.
"So is Beautiusa," Ken noted.
They finally came to the end of the line, after they had a short conversation with Happierre. "Woo, we're finally here, the end of the line," Yuray said, wiping off her sweats.
"Hey, it's Buhu!" Keita realized. "Hi, Buhu."
"Oh hello, Keita-kun. It's nice to see you again," Buhu greeted. "Too bad I'm in further back of the line. Buhuhu."
"You tell me. We're the one in furthest back of the line. Bu, hu, hu." Whipser moaned.
"Me, too. Bu, hu, hu." Yuray agreed depressingly.
"You two are acting ridiculous," Ken mumbled as he sweat-dropped.
"C'mon, c'mon…" They noticed impatient-looking Yokai, with puffy yellow hair and light blue skin, grumbling in front of Buhu.
"Who is that Yokai?" Keita asked.
"Mr. Impatient Pants, maybe?" Jibanyan joked.
"C'mon, c'mon…I can't take this anymore!" The yokai raged. Then, it suddenly stormed through the line.
"Hey, that guy started cutting in line!" Ken pointed out.
"That Yokai is K'mon-K'mon! He's a Yokai who hates waiting in line, but always finds one to wait in. Anyone who's get possessed by him becomes very impatient," Yuray explained.
"That's very counter-intuitive. Why would he find a line to wait in if he hates waiting in one?" Ken asked.
"Never mind about the detail! He's ruining the line! If he keeps up like this, the sales of the new watch will be ruined!" Whisper exclaimed.
"Ha! That's sound horrible!" Yuray gasped. "Master Ken, Mr. Keita, you two got to do something about this! Stop him!"
"Don't worry. I got this!" Keita took out one of the medals. "Calling out my friend, Jibanyan!"
"Um, Keita, I don't think that is…" "Yokai Medal, set on!" Keita didn't hear what Ken said as he inserted the medal.
Summoning Charming!
Alarming, boom-boom!
Walla, walla, dance, dance, Charming!
Jibanyan!
"Huh?" Jibanyan looked around, confused to his surroundings. "Where am I?"
"You're at the back of the line," Whisper answered.
"What did you say?" Jibanyan looked scared.
"Mr. Whisper said you're at the back of the line, Mr. Jibanyan," Yuray repeated.
"What!?" Jibanyan turned his head around, facing Keita as he looked frightened. Keita looked back with a nervous smile.
"Nyaaaaah! Why did you have to summon me, Keita!" Jibanyan attacked Keita, Whisper, and Ken.
"I'm so sorry!" Keita apologized.
"Why am I involve in this!? Why did I do!?" Ken yelled while receiving a fury of cat punch.
"I am the one who was in front of the line!" Jibanyan roared as he ran through the line, trying to get back to the very front.
-Almost two hours later-
"Well, after that entire ruckus, we finally got what we're here for," Lasagnyan said as they stood outside the store with two plastic bags.
"Yahoo! We finally got it!" Whisper cheered.
"The new Yokai Watch Model Zero!" Yuray screeched excitedly.
"Yeah, yeah. We got the new watch. Now can we go back home?" Ken demanded.
"Yes, we can, Master Ken." Yuray nodded. "Mr. Whipser, Mr. Keita, I hope you both enjoy the new watch."
"Oh, why thank you, Yuray. I hope you all enjoy it, too," Whisper avowed as he bowed to them in response. Ken, Lasagnyan, and Yuray went back home after that.
"Now, Keita-kun, let's go back home and use our watch safely…and aaaah!" He screamed.
"Woohoo! We got a new watch, we got a new watch!" Ken said happily as he threw up the box in the air, carelessly.
-Yo-Kai Watch Another Watcher-
"I'm back at home," Ken stated.
There was a moment of silence. He sighed and then looked at the clock. It was around 9:00 pm, which he thought to be very weird.
"That's strange. We left at 8:30, and waited in that line for some hours," Ken noted.
"The flow of time is different in the Yokai World than in the human world, Master Ken," Yuray explained. "Now, let's go to your room and try out my, I mean, your new watch!"
They headed upstairs. Once they are in the room, Yuray got the box out of the plastic bag carefully. She presented the box to Ken and Lasagnyan, whom were sitting.
"Ready guys? This is the best moment when it comes to opening a new product," Yuray said as she opened up the lid very slowly.
"You know you can just open it normally," Ken stated as his eyes narrowed.
"Sorry, but I am just so nervous!" Yuray stated.
"Don't be such a whiner. Let me just open it!" Ken swiped the box away from her and opened the lid immediately.
"Ah, Master Ken! Please be gentle to it!" Yuray demanded.
They looked at the new watch, all shiny and even bit sparkling. "Wow, so this is the Yokai Watch Model Zero. My, we brought one fancy watch," Lasagnyan commented.
"With this new watch, imagine what kinds of new adventures we will have with it?" Yuray imagined, although most of them just showed her using it instead of Ken.
"I really do not look forward to that, but I got to say, it is a cool-looking now that we have it," Ken said.
"How about you put it on, partner?" Lasagnyan suggested.
Ken took the watch out of the box, inserted the battery in it that came with it, and then placed it around the same wrist with his old watch.
He looked at the new watch from every angle. "Yeah…I don't like it."
"What!?" Yuray gasped. "Why, Master Ken? Is something wrong with it? Oh no! Could it be…initial failure!?"
"No, it's not that," Ken disagreed. "It is that wearing two watches of different model at the same time look ridiculous. I think I am going to take it off for now."
He tried to take it off, but like his previous one, it is stuck to him. "Oh shoot! Don't tell me this thing is now on me forever, too!"
"Don't worry, Master Ken. I will help!" Yuray pulled the model zero watch from Ken, but it was harder than it looks.
"Let me give you a hand." Lasagnyan joined in as she pulled Yuray by her ghostly tail. They pulled as hard as they can, but it didn't move at all. They tried several times until Lasagnyan slipped off from Yuray's tail, and Yuray accidentally slammed her lip on the watch.
"Yuray!" Ken yelled.
"Mmmf!" She mumbled before she let go of her lip from the watch. "Mwah!"
When she let go or kissed off from the watch, model zero disappeared and only the regular, old watch was present.
"Hey, where did model zero go?" Ken asked.
"What's this!? Where did it go!? What did happen!?" Yuray panicked.
Ken pondered for a moment until he got an idea. "Hey Yuray, kiss my watch again."
"Say what?" she looked confused.
"Kiss it again," he repeated in more serious tone.
Yuray followed his command, and kiss the watch again, causing it to shine in white light until the old one transformed into model zero.
"Oh my god! Model Zero is back! How!?" Yuray asked.
"It appears to be that when you kissed the Yokai Watch, the model switches. Kiss it again," Ken said.
She kissed it, making the watch glow again, and transforming it back into the old one. "Amazing! Your hypothesis is correct, Master Ken!"
"I don't know why it works, but it makes sense. Kiss it one more time," Ken ordered again.
She did it one more time, making the old watch turn back to the model zero.
"Wow! This is great! Now, you don't need to wear the two watches at the same time," Yuray praised.
"Yeah, I guess so…" Ken didn't look too happy about it. "Anyway, before I go back to sleep, let's test this watch."
"Hold your horses, partner!" Lasagnyan stopped him. "First off, you need these first!"
Lasagnyan showed Ken and Yuray four new green medals. Each of them had a picture of her, making different pose for each. The first pose was one making a tilt with a cowboy hat. The second pose showed her doing a rodeo pose. The third one showed her spinning her lasso above her head. The last one showed her doing the flamingo dance.
"Are these your new medals?" Ken asked.
"Yup! If you tried to use the old medal, it won't work at all. Model Zero actually uses a new version of yokai medal, so everyone has to re-register their medal," Lasagnyan explained.
"Then, why do you have four?" Ken asked further.
"Well, I couldn't decide what pose to make, so I decided to do four," she said, flustered.
Ken and Yuray back-dropped themselves ridiculously.
"So, Master Ken, do you want to try out the watch with Miss Lasagnyan's new medals?" Yuray asked, although her eyes looked more demanding than asking.
"Naw, I need to go back to bed," he declared as he got into his bed and went to sleep.
"Well, it is kind of late, y'all and I am bushed, too. Goodnight," Lasagnyan said as she went to her own bed, too.
Yuray looked at them, one by one. "Well, goodnight you two," she said, turning off the light and tucked herself to sleep, too.
-Watch S-
The next morning, it was the same, usual day at the Aichi's residence. Ken's mother had to go to work early in the morning before he wakes up, so it was him with his maid Yokai.
"Good morrrrr—ning," he yawned.
"Good morning, Master Ken!" Yuray greeted joyfully. "Breakfast will be ready momentarily. In the meantime, let me wash your new watch, Master Ken."
Without giving a chance to respond, Yuray wiped the watch very quickly, making it shine and sparkled.
"Hmm, thanks," he said as he sweat-dropped.
After washing his face and eating breakfast, Ken looked at the watch, pondering to himself.
"So, what should we do today?" he asked.
"How about let's test out your Model Zero?" Yuray suggested.
Ken noticed someone missing. "Hey, where's Lasagnyan?"
"Miss Lasagnyan went to somewhere important that she needs to attend. She didn't say specifically what it is," Yuray admitted.
"Well, whatever. I guess we will head out, too," he declared.
Ken and Yuray headed outside, looking for a way to test out his watch.
"So, exactly what's so different about this watch to my old one?" Ken asked.
"Well, I'm happy to answer that question, Master Ken!" Yuray exulted. "The new Yokai Watch Model Zero, like the old Yokai Watch, helps you to see and communicate with Yokai, but with great improvement in communication and added new features to it. Only new medals, the ones that you received from Lasagnyan last night, work on this new model, so you can't use your old medals, but I am sure that most of the Yokai we met in the past already re-registered their medal by now. And, blah, blah, blah…"
"Is it just me, or she is possessed by Blabbermouth-san?" Ken narrowed his eyes at her.
"What do you mean by that!?" They heard some kind of yelling.
"Are you stupid or something!? Dragon Orb Super is the best anime ever!" Another voice yelled.
Ken and Yuray followed hurriedly to where the yelling coming from. It led them to the park, where they saw Keita, Kuma, and Kanchi arguing each other.
"No, you two dumb skulls! It is Eva-Mechallion the best anime in the world!" Kanchi argued.
"No way! It is the Attack on the Giants!" Kuma yelled.
"What are those three doing?" Ken whispered to Yuray.
"I think they're having an argument, but this is strange for them. They are all good friends with each other, and my sense is tingling…Ah!" Yuray gasped. "This must be a work of Yokai, Master Ken! This is great timing because now, you can use your new Yokai Watch Model Zero to summon Lasagnyan, and stop the Yokai!"
"Aren't you a little too chirper about this?" Ken asked suspiciously. "Either way, let's see what this new watch can do."
He turned on the light to see the Yokai. He looked around carefully and eventually found the shadowy figure until it revealed itself.
The new Yokai was a big bull with black body, brown hooves, orange snout, and golden ring in his nose. Its eyes were bright red and flames were burning on the tip of each horn. A large, orange letter "A" imprinted on its stomach with a flame symbol in the center. Its black tail had a flame for the tip and flame flames flared on his hooves, too.
"Mooooaarr!" It mowed horrifically.
"What is that Yokai?" Ken asked.
"That's Squabbull!" Yuray exclaimed.
Squabbull-Tribe: Tough, Attribute: Fire
"Squabbull is a yokai from the Tough Tribe. When it inspirits a human, he makes them get angry and causes argument about anything trivial," Yuray explained.
"Well, that sounds ridiculous," Ken commented open-mindfully.
Squabbull widened its eyes, hearing that. It turned around, facing Ken and Yuray with its eyes flashing red and dark aura bursting out of its body.
"Uh oh! I think you made an angry!" Yuray exclaimed.
"That strange aura…is the same one when Graven had it!" Ken pointed out.
Suddenly, the yokai bull rammed straight to Ken and Yuray.
"Eeek!" she shrieked.
"Whooaa!" Ken dodged.
"I think this is the best time to use this new watch!" Ken declared, inserting one of Lasagnyan's medals.
It's summoning time!
The Yokai Watch Model Zero stated. A song for the Charming Tribe played in a background with a different tone and rhythm. Lasagnyan appeared in jumping posing with a cowgirl's hat.
Hee-haw!
Lasagnyan!
"Nice summoning pose!" Yuray stated.
"Thanks, y'all! It looks like you used your new watch for first time," Lasagnyan said.
"Never mind about that for now! I need your help, Lasagnyan, to defeat Squabbull!" Ken exclaimed.
"You got it, partner!" Lasagnyan got out a red cape magically.
"A red cape?" Yuray asked.
Squabbull stared at the cape, causing it to huff smokes through its nostrils.
"Moooarr!" It roared, ramming into Lasagnyan, but she dodged away.
Squabbull came back around, but the brave yokai cat dodged away again and she did this two more times.
Squabbull blazed up, making its flames bigger. It rammed at Lasagnyan at super speed.
"Nya!?" Lasagnyan gasped before she got hit. "Nyyaaaaaa!"
She got hit at the tree before falling to the ground, unconsciously.
"Lasagnyan!" Ken yelled. He ran up to her to save her.
"Wait, Master Ken! It's too dangerous!" Yuray screamed.
He didn't care at all. He approached to his fainted friend, and tended her need.
"Lasagnyan, are you OK?" he asked.
Squabbull saw this as a chance. It straightened its horns, tapped its hooves few times into the ground, and then moved again.
"Master Ken, watch out!" Yuray yelled.
"Ah!" Ken gasped.
Suddenly, something moved very quickly in between Ken and Squabbull. It moved so fast that they didn't notice, and after a second, Squabbull fell out of consciousness.
"…Phew. That was close…" Ken trembled to his knees.
"Master Ken, Lasagnyan, are you two alright?" Yuray asked, floating to their side.
"Nya, nya…I need lasagna…" Lasagnyan mumbled.
"Yeah, she's fine and so am I," Ken replied.
"That's relief!" Yuray said. "But, what exactly happened?"
"What happened was me." They turned to their right, and saw a person with the knee down on the ground, and two swords out.
The mysterious person stood up, revealing that she had long black hair. When she turned around, she looked to be around the age of 15, mid teen. Her eyes were yellow and very feline-line. She wore a leather black jacket, and denim shorts, tall black heel boots and black belt that strapped around her right foreleg, which both forelegs are exposed. She had an olive complexion for her skin, and mild-size bosom, but the most interesting part was the two cat ears sticking out of her hair.
"Who are you?" Ken asked, feeling a bit suspicious.
She moved closer to Ken and his friends, but he and Yuray backed away.
"No need to feel alarm. If it wasn't for me, you would be squash by Squabbull or worse," she said.
"…Yeah, well thanks for saving us," Ken replied. "Yuray, who is she? I don't think she's a human."
"I…I am not sure who she is, Master Ken. Frankly, I don't know if she is a yokai or human," Yuray said, unsure for herself.
"What do you mean, Yuray? She's clearly a Yokai! You can plainly see her ears! It's cat ears, and normal human don't have cat ears!" Ken pointed out.
"That may be, but my yokai sense is feeling a bit…weird about her," Yuray whispered.
"Like I said, don't feel alarm. You should be at least thanking me for saving you three, and your friends," she stated.
"Oh! Sorry for my rudeness, miss. Thank you for saving us!" Yuray avowed as she bowed to her politely.
"You change your mind very quickly…" Ken mumbled.
"My name is Nekomusume, or in your language of origin, it translates to 'cat girl'," she introduced.
"Nekomusume…Please hold that for a moment!" Yuray checked over her Yokai Pad.
"OK, so you are a Yokai, but what do you want?" Ken asked.
She giggled with a small smirk. "Don't trust me, I see. That's perfectly fine. If I were to dress in a superhero custom, maybe you would praise me, but I am no hero."
Ken just stared at her, trying to stay calm and control over the situation. "You see, I am investigating a strange phenomenon that's been occurring in this town," she admitted.
"Well, you will find a lot of them. Not just you, but there are more than dozen of yokai, including two here, that lives around here," Ken answered.
"I don't mean that, but I am talking about the effect that some of these Yokai having. A dark energy caused by the darkness within their heart, the phenomenon of Dark Yokai," Nekomusume said.
"Dark Yokai?" Ken looked a bit curious. "What is this dark yokai?"
"Dark Yokai is not different from a normal yokai. They are yokai, like Squabbull here, like all other victims, possessed by its own dark energy, an energy that came from deep darkness within their heart. Lately, there has been a rising in darkness, taking control over the yokai. I am investigating into the situation and trying to stop them all," she explained.
"I see…So basically, the only reason you save us is to stop Squabbull, who was possessed by its own dark energy," Ken summarized.
"Exactly. Of course, good thing I was around. I heard your maid's scream, and moved quickly as possible," she said.
"So, what will happen here to Squabbull?" he asked.
"He will be fine. I used my two swords here to absorb the dark energy before it consumed it. If the yokai is possessed by its own dark energy too long, it will surely corrupt itself and may become evil," she explained.
"It sounds like a dangerous job," he commented.
"It is, but even I cannot handle it on my own. I'm actually looking for someone capable of giving me some hands. Perhaps you can be an assistant to me," she suggested.
"Me? Help you? Well…I." "You have the Yokai Watch, after all," she interrupted.
"This?" He said, showing off his watch.
She reached her pocket and took out something. What she took out was another Yokai Watch, except this one was pure black with red frame for the circle, and the clock hands were red. It had four numeric symbols, like a regular watch does.
"That's a Yokai Watch!" Ken gasped.
"Indeed, but this one is special. This is Yokai Watch S, made to absorb all the dark energy that possesses the yokai's heart in order to eradicate the darkness within them. With this, if you encounter any yokai possessed by the dark energy, you can use it to stop them and turn them back to normal state," she said, handing him the watch.
Ken looked at her first. "If I take this, I officially become your paper boy, basically."
"I don't know if you are trying to be funny or serious, but it's your will to choose freely," she said calmly.
Ken thought for moment, and then sighed. "Fine."
He accepted the watch. "Yokai Watch S, huh?"
"Also, unlike Model Zero and the previous model, this model can allow you to use both old and new versions of medals," she added.
"Well, that's more convenient," he said as he looked back at the girl, but she was nowhere in sight.
"What the heck!? Where did she…?" He looked around, but she was already gone.
"Here it is! I found the information about Miss Nekomusume!" Yuray exclaimed. "Hey, where did she go?"
"Keep up with the program, Yuray," he said.
-Yokai Partners-
Episode 3
"Hmmm…" Detectice Ichani hummed. He and his fellow detectives, and officers were investigating at a crime scene.
A body of woman, single, was strangled to death. There was a huge mess everywhere, indicating there was a struggle between her, the victim and the murderer before she fell to her death.
"So, what do we have so far?" asked the detective.
"Sir, we found the victim's wallet in her purse. All of her credits and monies are still in it, including her ID. Her name is Tasuko Kino, age 28," answered one of the detectives.
"I see. So, this is definitely not a burglary. Whoever the murderer is, he or she was here for kill than money. Men, we have a killer on the loose! No matter what, don't leave any clues behind! Gather all the evidence you can find, and find out who did this! Of course, catch the killer before another victim appears!" Detective Ichani ordered.
"Yes sir!"
Meanwhile, Detective Yuray and Detective Whisper relaxed in their office, drinking tea and coffee respectfully.
"Remember rookie, as a detective, there are times we work, but you also have to take a break once in a while. It is important to relax your mind and body during your break, whenever you have it," Whisper explained.
"Yes sir! I remember that," Yuray said as she watched the TV.
"Today, we have breaking news! A single woman, from the age of 20 to 30 was killed today at her an apartment. According to the law enforcement, the woman was strangled to death. They do not know who the murderer is, but they are currently investigating on the case right now. We will keep you up when we receive any new update," the news reporter announced.
"My gosh! That sounds horrible! A murder…this could mean one thing…." Yuray mumbled.
"Hmm?" Whisper peeked at Yuray, who was already gone. "Hey! Don't leave without telling me!"
Few moments later, Yuray arrived at the crime scene.
"This got to be the place, just like it was on the TV," Yuray said.
"Hey!" Detective Whisper came over to her hurriedly as he sweated. "Don't leave from the without leaving your superior!"
"Detective Whisper." He looked at Yuray, who was going into scene. "Let's begin the investigation."
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" He yelled.
Yuray didn't pay any attention to Whisper as she entered the crime scene. The office who guarded the crime scene allowed them to enter the victim's room.
"My, my, what a mess!" Yuray commented.
"Indeed. To me, it looks like the victim wasn't a very tidy person," Whisper hypothesized.
"I don't think so, Detective Whisper. I think it's rather that the victim had a struggle with the murderer. Look, here is the spot where the victim's body was found." Yuray pointed to the floor, where the body was imprinted for safe-keeping.
She analyzed the trace of the body.
"According to the news, the victim's name is Tasuko Kino, age 28 and she was a single who lives here at the apartment alone," Whisper stated.
Yuray checked the photos at the top of the shelf. It had photos of her with a man, and another one with what appeared to be fellow co-workers at some factory. She then looked at the kitchen, and there was one unopened white box at the counter. She opened it while wearing white plastic gloves and it revealed to be a cheesecake with some decorations made of frosting on the top.
Whisper looked at the cake, too. "Aww that is a very cute. It has some initials with a heart around it."
"I see. OK, it's time to go!" Yuray declared.
"What!? Isn't that too quick?" Detective Whisper stated. "A good detective should investigate the crime scene more carefully. If they miss a single detail, they may miss out a huge clue."
He soon realized that he was alone. "Hey, wait up!"
They took the bus, and few minutes later, they arrived at a factory.
"Cake Factory, just the right place," Yuray said.
"Why are we even here?" Detective Whisper asked.
They went inside the factory as she looked for something or someone. "Excuse me, sir?" she asked to one of the workers. "Do you know where I can see your manager?"
"The manager? Yeah, his office is right over," the worker said, pointing to the office.
"Thank you, sir," she acknowledged.
They headed to the manager's office. They met with the secretary and arranged a short conversation with the manager. Eventually, they met up with the manager.
"Hello, my name is Hiroshi Aido. I'm the manager of this fine factory," Hiroshi introduced. He had a short black, and wore a fine business suit. "How may help you two today?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Aido. I'm Detective Yuray from the MPD. I would like to speak with you about the recent crime that happened, about a single woman who found dead in her apartment," Yuray explained.
"I see. What can I do for you?" he asked.
"Well, I believe that you are the culprit!" Yuray said straightforwardly, pointing her finger at him, causing a random thunder roared, just like last time.
"Hey! Hold on a sec!" Whisper explained as he pulled her face to his. "What do you think you are doing, rookie!? You can't just say this nice, wealthy manager that he is the culprit!"
"What's the meaning of this?" The manager looked tick. "What are you insisting here?"
"What I am saying is that you are the one who killed Ms. Kino last night, didn't you?" Yuray continued. "It is pretty simple."
"Say what?" Aido gasped.
"You see, according to the news and my partner here, Ms. Kino was a single woman, but not all the time. She actually had a boyfriend, and I know who that boyfriend is or at least was," Yuray said. "And that boyfriend…is you!"
"What!?" Aido gasped surprisingly as he sweated.
"It's very simple. When my partner and I investigated at Ms. Kino's apartment room, she had photos of herself with you, and another one with her fellow co-workers at a certain factory. That factory is here, and to prove even further, an unopened package was at the kitchen counter, which had a cheesecake inside. Now, I know that this factory is famous for making a kind of cheesecake that only can be made here, using the kind of ingredient that your factory uses. Which can only be one thing…someone who works at this factory is the murderer, and that murderer is you, Mr. Hiroshi Aido!" She exclaimed.
"You…you can't prove that! Yeah, I would admit that she was my girlfriend and that she did work here, if you are implying that, but that doesn't prove that I'm the one who killed her!" Aido argued.
"Sorry, but I know I can prove it because on that cheesecake, it had a bit of decorating with inititals that say 'H.A.' and 'T.K.' on the top, which made from the frosting! That H.A. stands for Hiroshi Aido, which is your fullname!" Yuray pointed out.
"No way!" Aido screamed.
Soon after that, Hiroshi Aido, age 30 and manager of the Cake Factory, was arrested and admitted his crimes to the police.
"No, this is aggravating! How did she figure it out so quickly!?" Whisper bit on tissue paper.
"Detective Whisper," she called him.
"What!?" He replied rudely.
"Thank you for helping me during the investigation," she thanked.
"Huh?" Whisper didn't understand.
"If it wasn't your keen eye noticing the initials of names on the cake, I wouldn't figure out that Mr. Aido is the culprit. You truly are a good partner, Detective Whisper!" Yuray exulted.
"Well..ah-hem! Of course, I knew that Mr. Aido was the one who did it from the very beginning, but I didn't want to say anything because I want you to figure it out on your own," Whisper stated confidently, even though that is a lie.
So, what do you guys think of the first chapter? Like for my first story, I will be accepting OC Yokai, so there will be SYOC. Here are the guidelines or rule for OC Submission:
