8 Quest complete

In case anyone is wondering about why I did a (technical) triple upload I got my first power stone! Don't know what that means, but it's good so thank New_Player for this!

(Would have been out earlier, but a niece asked me to draw them)

Fun fact is about the fear techniques and which ones Ryou learned the best.

Enjoy! I tried really hard with the fights here.

——————————————-

After five years of training, Ryou could be seen keeping up with Aotabō both covering their full bodies with touki.

This time when a spear was thrown in his direction he grabbed it spinning it around and uses it to block another attack from Aotabō.

He pushes forward launching himself off of Aotabō into Kurotabou's hiding place, and exchanging blows with him.

Pushing Kurotabou back just before he can take a killing blow an army of Youkai jump into the mix attacking Ryou at different times only to have their hits deflected, dodged, and blocked.

Watching him fight the army on his own Kurotabou walks over to Aotabō saying "What kind of monster did we create?"

With an abnormally serious face Aotabō looks out at him and says "We didn't create him..we just awakened him."

In just the time it took to finish this small chat Ryou finished the entire army and points the spear at them.

"Aotabō, Kurotabou. Face me." The two Assault officers sigh and begin attacking him at once.

Ryou assaults Aotabō's form by slashing at his foot and using the spear as leverage to dropkick Kurotabou in his chest causing him to fly onto the ground.

Watching the fight play out Nurarihyon states to his advisor Mokugyo. "It's crazy is it not? All I did was teach him our clans Fear technique. Now he's holding the Assault officers off in his day form." Mokugyo watches the fight slowly before asking Nurarihyon.

"Which did you teach him?" Nurarihyon chuckled for a long time before saying proudly "All of them." Turning to see Mokugyo's face even without a mouth he could see their disbelief.

After all no one in the clan had been able to learn more than three and it was still more effective to use one. But Nurarihyon had never seen a person as quick to learn as Ryou.

-Flashback two years-

Nurarihyon and Ryou stood in the front yard before he started.

"Listen Ryou, I have seen you use touki so clearly you have learned about senjutsu. Normally we would wait until you are a teen, but now that you can cover your arms in touki you are more than ready."

Ryou stared groggily still tired from last night before a sudden pressure in the area caused him to kneel jolting him awake.

"This is presence a type of fear that allows you to overwhelm someone with your fear alone." Nurarihyon continued his lecture while looking at his grandson slightly uncomfortable from his creepy smile.

Ryou closed his eyes jabbing some of his pressure points with an electric jolt on his thumb, and soon enough.

"Eh?" Although slight Nurarihyon could feel a pressure fighting back against his own, and looking at Ryou's face he was sweating much less looking more relaxed.

"Hmph. Don't get in over your head." Nurarihyon focused half of his fear onto his grandson crushing him into the floor before realizing that was maybe too much.

-Flashback end-

"I only taught him the methods. It's up to him to decide how he wants his to work and whether it's important to practice whichever techniques." Mokugyo and Nurarihyon then sit in silence watching as nekome a humanoid cat like Youkai joins the fight as well.

After thirty minutes Ryou breathing heavily, bloodied beyond normality, and half unconscious he stands above Kurotabou, Aotabō, and Nekome's bodies.

Soon he releases a nonsensical shout walking towards Kurotabou's body. He slowly began to speak "Kurotabou, I know you aren't completely out. Since I defeated you give me a sword. I'm gonna need it."

Earning a sigh from the Youkai playing dead on the floor he raises his hat bringing out a Chinese dao and handing it to Ryou.

"Sorry young master, I just don't want to fight against Nurarihyon…I'm sure you understand. After all isn't that why you saved your night form?"

Just as Kurotabou says this Ryou transforms healing most of his injuries, changing his clothes into a kimono, and restoring his stamina.

"Maybe so. Tell Aotabō he's fired if I win though, for being dumb enough to keep faking it after I caught you." Kurotabou chuckles as Aotabō's "unconscious" body starts sweating profusely.

Walking into the dojo room Ryou is met with a silent and empty room. He draws his blade seemingly at nothing and closes his eyes.

As he opens his eyes a transparent golden orb wearing a blue Oni mask covers his entire body and then some.

"I feel you…in my soul!" Quickly Ryou slashes quickly blocking an attack from Nurarihyon appearing like mist on his side.

Ryou advances and they clash blades fiercely before Nuarihyon vanishes again causing Ryou to try and summon his soul again only to be kicked in his chest sending him across the room.

"I'm not sure what that thing is you learned, but that won't be enough, Ryou." Nuarihyon slices into Ryou, but his blade cuts into the wall as Ryou turned to mist much like Nuarihyon.

Nuarihyon spins around blocking a sword strike from behind and being pushed into the wall behind him.

"You should have never taught me Displacement old man!" With another flourish of blades they move across the room cutting into the ground and even maiming the ceiling.

"Another thing you should have taught me." Raising his blade into the air Ryou covers his sword in fear and points it towards Nurarihyon.

"Get ready Gramps." He dashes forward with touki, and a physical enhancing fear technique.

He blitzes across the room striking into his grandfathers sword sending them crashing through multiple rooms and into the shallow pond in the backyard.

Both covered in cuts, and sweat Nurarihyon proclaims loudly "Show me you are strong enough to lead!" Charging all of his fear into his blade causing it to crack slightly and shatter the ground from the added weight.

Ryou holds his blade above his head once more charging most of his fear into it, pumping his blade full of touki, and channeling his soul wavelength through it.

"Show me, your strength!"

"Show me, your strength!"

Yelling this they charge at each other at a speed so fast the ground beneath them shatters.

Just as their blades could hit and begin their final clash. Using the last bit of his fear he kept Ryou turns to mist appearing behind Nurarihyon.

"Ah shi-" Ryou raises his sword with more power than he ever had before creating an explosion that rings out through the entire neighborhood.

Having upended the entire estate Nurarihyon and Ryou sit almost completely bandaged up in front of Wakana Nura.

"Seriously, just what are you doing with my son?! And you are who knows how old, you cannot be doing this to your body! Do you want to croak?? And another thing-"

Sitting there helplessly in a destroyed house as youkai move around trying to clean up and fix things Nurarihyon and Ryou laugh at each other.

Soon there were blue and red lights outside the home stopping their laughter, and causing them to sweat while turning to look at each other.

They nod together and turn to mist vanishing from the room. All that could be heard from them was their shout "RUN IT'S THE FUZZ!"

-1st pov Ryou-

After me and gramps escaped the estate for a bit, and more so to run from mom's yelling we approach a ramen shop.

"Gramps, wanna get some food? It's on the house, but don't tell them that they don't know it yet." I smirk at him, and see a real tear fall from his eye before we laugh walking in without being noticed making our own meal with their ingredients at all.

On the way home me and gramps talk and laugh about all the times I caught Aotabō in a trap during the last five years.

"Hey, Grandpa. Can I transfer to Kuoh academy?" His eyes go wide and he sternly says "No, you can't. What's wrong with your current school?"

I knew he would be against me leaving town, but this felt different. It felt like there was some other reason.

"Nothings wrong with it, I just want to get out there and explore. After all every member of my night parade was from you and dad. That's not what I want for my parade." He looks knowingly, and sighs.

"Look that place is off limits. Anywhere else could be full of strong people too." His face was covered by the bandages, but I could tell he was frowning.

"Why?" He suddenly stops and says slowly.

"Because I don't want you to get mixed up with devils and their crazy things." Excuse me?

"Uh. I go home to a sentient chariot out in the driveway, grew up friends with a being that's just sentient natto, and am talking to a man with a gourd head that just so happens to be my grandpa." I don't think anything can be weirder than my family, and it's something I take pride in.

His eyes narrow and he looks not fully convinced before I say "Gramps I was able to beat you. What should I be afraid of there?"

"If you think you truly beat me at my full power then you definitely cannot go." His voice dropped a few octaves and I could feel it in my soul.

I coughed up a bit of blood, and looked at him in disbelief. Of course this doesn't mean anything to me.

"Either way weren't you going to offer me one wish?" He looks surprised for a quick second and simply drops his head, before turning around and walking back home.

"So be it. I simply did not want my only grandchild to be in constant danger." And soon before I could even speak I was alone in the street.

I hate when parents do this! It's a new pain I've learned this lifetime. Guess I should roll my lottery tickets.
