In the night sky, a red dragon with white fur going down its spine all the way to its tail and deer like horns could be seen flying high above the clouds heading to Osaka with a young girl wearing a black kimono with a gold obi wrapped around her waist riding on its back.

On occasions, I will be asked to hunt down dangerous demons, monsters, youkai, and even humans for the Shinto faction like I am doing for izanami right now. I have been doing these requests for about three years now, ranging from a lot of different people to the gods of Japan, the omniyoji, and the youkai. Amaterasu has me usually dealing with conflicts between the omniyoji and the youkai. Some youkai become addicted to killing and need to be put down, so to speak, same for the omniyoji. The one I'm doing right now is one of the more dangerous ones. It is a demon that has escaped from yomi, and that is not an easy feat in itself. Any being that escapes from there is never the same. Yomi is not like the underworld of the devils it is a dark and evil place where nightmarish horrors lurk and no being who has stayed there comes out with their sanity intact. izanami has asked me to hunt it down before it causes anymore trouble.

I have been given information on this demon. It is blue skinned and about eight feet tall. He lived in the sengoku era, leading his own band of demons to kill and plunder Japan before he was finally killed and brought down to yomi. His strength should be close to that of a high-class being.

My hold on mushu's fur tightens as excitement boils in my body. It has been a while since I fought a decent opponent, I hope this one doesn't disappoint me. i have grown bored of killing the stray devils that hide in kouh and hope this one can provide me with some entertainment at least.

Mushu's seems to notice my excitement. " Don't be impatient now, just a little more, and we will be above Osaka. " he says in an amused voice as he glances my way.

i shrug my shoulder to Mushu " I know, I know. " I say as I hold up my katana in front of me it is in its sheathe at the moment, but the handle is mostly black with gold, with the guard being designed as a golden sun. The sheathe is a smooth pitch black almost blinding in with the night sky.

We make it to Osaka as we circle high above the clouds. I stand on Mushu's back as I take a few deep breaths as I expanded my senses to cover the entirety of Osaka. I can pretty much see everything going on in the city from the people, the traffic and the animals by their energy. I searched for the demon yet cannot find him after looking for a few minutes.' ughh I didn't think he would actually be able to hide from me. This is unexpected. ' i was expecting to be able to find him easily but it appears he has a way of hiding himself. this is troublesome.

Mushu turns his head to look at me. " Were you able to find him. " Asks Mushu.

I shake my head. " No, the only thing I could find were traces of his energy that was about it. " I fold my arms across my chest. " I'll need to go down there to get a better look. "

At my words, Mushu makes a fast descent across the night sky Mushu flies, passing a tall building as I jump off his back and land on the top of the building. He quickly ascends back into the night sky above the clouds disappearing from sight.' alright, time to get started.' I approach the ledge of the building, jumping off and heading in the direction of his nearest energy source.' This place is crowded as always the perfect place to hide. ' I think to myself as I jump from building to building.

I watch the streets of Osaka from a roof being cramped and crowded like usual. ' Nobody would even notice if somebody went missing in that crowd. ' Places like these are a demon's favorite place to hide and plenty to eat.

I look north feeling his energy in that direction. I head over there at a fast pace jumping from buildings as i leave the city coming upon a dark street with few houses. I look over all the houses but stop to look at a specific One as I feel the demon's energy inside. the house seems to have its front door kicked down as the smell of blood coming from inside is overwhelming. " Well, I guess I found his meal for the night. " I head over to the house.
