Yo-kai Watch: A Rewrite (Book 1 of the Rewrite Series)

Chapter 13: Preparing for the Confrontation

"I really don't understand why you gave up a life of lesuire to teach human children, Kit."

"You're the one asking two elementary schoolers for help."

Kyubi glanced at the ground in embarassment and said,

"Look, it's personal, okay?"

"Just don't forget that you agreed to talk to the Koma Brothers about helping them with living arrangements today."

"Yeah, yeah...wait...of course!"

"Kyubi...what are you planning?"

"Oh...you'll see..."

"Matt, come on! The clerk is worried about you! There's an angry mob forming!"

Whisper looked behind him and said with surprise,

"Wait, really?"

Matt wasn't paying attention to the group, so Nate cleared up the confusion.

"Nah, I said that to see if he was listening. I guess not."

The group had headed to the arcade to kill some time, but when they went to the counter to see if there was any new games put in, they were told that one of their classmates, Matt, was spending too much time and money on one of the crane machines. They decided to check on him, worried that there might be something wrong with him.

"I'll form an angry mob myself if that kid doesn't start listening to us, nya."

Whisper started dragging Jibanyan away from the scene as he said,

"Jibanyan, you stay out of this. We don't need to bring violence into this."

"Fiiine, but can I at least attack the Yo-kai inspiriting Matt?"

"Wait, what?!"

After a quick scan, they found a Yo-kai and Whisper quickly looked him up.

"Chansin, a Yo-kai that inspirits people to take chances, although he has run some people into debt through gambling. We might want to get rid of him. I don't think it would be healthy for your classmate to develop an addiction to gambling at a young age."

"Let me fight him! See if he's willing to take any chances after I'm done with him!"

"Not in the building, Jibanyan! Take it outside!"

"Weren't you against using violence, Whisper?"

"I thought Matt was just being stubborn. I didn't know that he was being inspirited. Jibanyan, go get Chansin outside. See if being away from Matt will stop the inspiritment."

"Okay!"

Jibanyan poked Chansin's leg and he knelt down. Jibanyan whispered something to Chansin, who then went outside with Jibanyan. Matt seemed to calm down when Chansin and finally left the crane machine alone and left the arcade. They went to the counter to tell the clerk that they managed to get Matt to calm down with the overspending and as Nate started up one of the arcade machines, Jibanyan walked back in with a few bruises and Chansin's medal in his paw and said,

"I managed to talk him into being friends after defeating him and giving him a few tips on battling. Here you go."

He handed the medal to Katie as Whisper dug through the bag to get Jibanyan something to heal him up.

Kyubi had managed to convince the Koma Brothers to meet him at the construction site when it got dark and went back to wondering about if his plan would work.
