Chain Yokai: Book 1. The Hunter

Yokai..What Are We?

"What I eat isn't any of your damn business Chained Maiden." said the kappa. "If I'm hungry, I'll drown my food and eat it...what's with you!? You should understand!! You're one of us...a yokai!"

"Part yokai.." said Laura. "And not all Yokai go around causing the families of children grief just because they're hungry, you're coming with me..."

"On what authority!?" exclaimed the Kappa. "You're not part of the Yokai Hunter Academy!!"

"Not yet." said Laura. "But just you wait..I'm gonna be right on top!!"

"DAMN YOU!!" the kappa raised his flippers and immediately water smashed out of the asphalt ground, shooting at Laura like geysers.

Laura flipped out of the way agiley and landed lightly on her feet behind the kappa. Laura sighed. "You Yokai never learn do you?"

"Don't underestimate me!!" the kappa shouted as he let out another massive geyeser of water from the ground.

Laura raised her hands as a strange reddish aura began to come from her body. "Chain Impact!!"

A multitude of hard iron wrought chains with rounded spear points on the ends phased out of Laura's palms and smacked straight into the kappa, continuosly extending into the impact point as if there was a never ending chain coming out of Laura's hands. The chains did not buckle on impact, staying absolutely straight as they drove the kappa into the ground.

There was a great trail of rubble and dust as the Kappa was pushed across the asphalt, dragging gouges in the ground with him.

As the kappa got up dizzily, coughing up rocks, the chains retracted back into Laura's hands and she walked slowly forward, still grinning. "Sure ya wanna fight me? I think I did more damage to you just now then nine hours of continuos Jeapordy music does to anyone's sanity."

"You silly half humans.." growled the yokai. "You all think that just because of your human blood, that makes you the protectors of humans against your true kind... how arrogant!!!"

At the word "arrogant", the kappa turned and opened his mouth wide, alowing a massive geyser of water to shoot out of his mouth. Laura grinned again and jumped into the air, way higher then any normal human. She gracefully flipped over the kappa's head and landed behind him again. She tapped the ground lightly with toe of her black sneaker and immediately massive chains with links the size of dinner plates blasted out of the ground behind her and the walls of the buildings next to her. The ends of the massive chains had large bowling ball-like weights which all rammed into the kappa at once.

A tremendous shockwave erupted from the area as the massive chain balls made contact and the when the chains retracted back into the ground and buildings, the kappa was lying unconscious in a massive crater as some broken sewege pipes dripped watter all over his expressionless reptillian face.

"K.O.!!" Laura shouted, pumping her fist. "And the crowd goes wild!"

"Really...you need to tone down your fighting methods."

Laura turned to face the owner of the voice with an irritated look. "Sora..I don't need another lecture."

Walking out of the shadows was a boy who looked a little older then Laura. He had black hair a black eye patch over his right eye. He had a long dark black coat and there were two samurai swords sheathed at his back.

"I would love to stop lecturing you." said Sora with his usual expressionless face. "But it seems like you enjoy ignoring me. Already I've had write 20 appology letters to the Yokai Hunter's local Taiwanese agency this week for property dammage. You're not a student yet Laura, you don't have the authority to go brashly taking down yokai like this.."
