Episode 53: YOU CAME BACK!

First of all, stop with the continuous 'pick a color thing', it's annoying! Actually, everything happening to me recently is annoying! Like...what wrong did I ever do to all you guys? Why am I the one to be abducted? Is it my fault? I'm not even afraid now, I'm more than confused! Why of all people should I be the one you guys keep going after? There's a lot of girls out there, why me?!

Gabby's thoughts were almost endless as she keeps ignoring the yokai's continuous asking of question.

It was getting redundant and frustrating. Even more so boring for the red haired. She would casually sing a song, or say 'blah blah blah,' to drown any sound the yokai is speaking. Which of course, to Gabby's annoyance isn't effective.

GABBY: Won't you grow tired?

AKA MANTO: As long as you're not giving in, I'm not stopping!

GABBY: Well, good luck. I'm taking a nap.

AKA MANTO: W-Wait! You can't just do that! You're disrespecting me! How dare you?

GABBY: Shhhh, quiet down. Bye.

AKA MANTO: I'm a demon! Don't that fact make you tremble?

GABBY: Oh, I'm so scared, help me! Well to be honest pal, no! I'm tired and confused. So shut up! I'm having a bad day!

AKA MANTO: That's not how you're supposed to react!

GABBY: This ain't how I'm supposed to die, either! But here we are. Damn you and your friends. Now let me sleep before I starve to death. Peace yow!

Gabby says, eyes still closed. The yokai angered and impatient, was left no choice but to let her sleep. He sighed. She'll die anyways.

GABBY: I know you're staring. Quit being a creep and just let me sleep without being watched.

AKA MANTO: How dare you say those words to me?

GABBY: I'm on my freaking period so I don't give a damn! Let me sleep you---@¥ଡ$£#£¥#¥#

AKA MANTO: Geesh, sorry. I didn't know you could be so aggressive. Wait...am I scared? Hey, I shouldn't be scared, you're just a human!

GABBY: You saying something?

Surprisingly, Gabby sounds terrifyingly irritated, and a dominating aura is enough to creep even the old demon watching her. The shaking little girl is no more. And she looks like she's possessed by some beast. Her eyes tells him that perhaps she've been and seen worst. Or maybe she's just really tired.

Might be due to starvation and her said menstraution.

Her eyes looks like it's burning with hatred. And her face looks unfazed. Surely even the Aka Manto decided to step back. Without her picking a color, he won't be able to hurt her in any form.

AKA MANTO: I said goodnight. Hihi.

Gabby sighed then sat down, trying to curl into a comfortable position to sleep.

AKA MANTO: Your legs are...exposed! Pff, hey!

He snaps his finger, and blue robe appears.

He puts the robe to cover her legs and then continued to stand, watching her fall asleep.

He sighs then asks himself why he did that anyways.

Gabby seemed to feel warmer, a small smile formed on her lips as she continued to doze off.

...

Red sensed Gabby's presence getting nearer and nearer.

But then he sensed something thst scared him.

She's quiet.

RED: Don't tell me she's...

TARA: Red? Hurry up and run! Those small demons are after us up to now!

RED: On it!

MISHIDA: I'll stay here. If I don't, those cunning bastards will cover the exit. They're fast workers.

RED: They can kill you.

MISHIDA: They will kill us all if I don't. Now go!

TARA: Thank you good elf!

...

Red kept running, until everything felt closer.

TARA: We're getting nearer!

RED: EVERYTHING SEEMS DARKER!!!

TARA: Well we're underground, idiot.

RED: Hey, sorry. No need to give me a personal attack here.

TARA: Wait! Red a...

RED: Fudge!

...

A big debri fell and they were given little time to react or flee, the reapers were left with no choice but to give off their flares.

Red used his powerful crow tags to make them scatter to pieces, and Tara used her gustful wind to blow them off.

Releasing their flare gave away their location and presence.

The Aka Manto sensed them and quickly turned around, only to meet the two reapers, clearly a bit tired of all the search.

TARA: Gabby! We've did a lot...of...of...*huff* searching and running for ya.

RED: Gabby!

Gabby awakens and notices the blue robe wrapped around her, is this what the yokai meant?

She looks at Red and quickly smiles.

GABBY: YOU CAME BACK!

RED: Of course I did! Now, did he hurt you?

AKA MANTO: Enough! Why are you all ignoring me?

RED: Oh. You're there too. Well, if you're not gonna hand her over...things will end pretty badly.

AKA MANTO: Make me.

The yokai summoned a lot of ghostlike entities, most with severed head, others with severed limbs. Then put down his mask only to absorb them like energy pills.

He becomes larger in size, and grew several new limbs.

Gabby's fear came back, she tried to run towards refuge, but the yokai blocked her escape.

AKA MANTO: Not so fast, sweetie. It's not goodbye yet.
