"-Happy fucking days, you bloody bunch of oni fuckups! And - And if you fuck me around like that again, I'm going to take that sake dish, and your little fucking sake box, and I'm going to break the dish into little pieces which I will place in the sake box, and then I'll ram it down your fucking throat and leave you gargling that for the rest of your fucking life, which - which won't be long, because I'll get bored in five seconds and rip your fucking heart out!" Yamame and I stood with our backs against the wall of the house that the Kurodani family had occupied, and I suspected that we were both trying to fade into non-existence. In front of us stood Yuugi Hoshiguma, Lady Kasen, and Raki, and all three of them had some sort of blank face on like they'd disassociated from the situation entirely.

And in front of them, pacing back and forth and more importantly, absolutely, possibly irreversibly furious, was Kisami. This was not the Kisami I had met earlier. This was more like...Some sort of attack dog. A psychotic attack dog. Eirin would have no shortage of work trying to understand her. "She's always had no shortage of temper." Yamame mumbled to me, careful not to be loud enough to distract Kisami from her rant. "But she’s got amazing patience. It's hard to get it to come out, but once you do..."

"We weren't trying to disrupt anything." Lady Kasen tried speaking, and it didn't go too well. "Calm down and-"

"Calm down? Oh, I'm real fucking calm. I'm calm as can be. Matter of fact, I'm about to stroll off under my futon for a quick nap, and I probably won't even have to try hard to get to sleep, because I'm just so fucking calm." Kisami stopped pacing and decided to get in close to Lady Kasen. "It's taken a considerable portion of my sanity to wrangle this whole project into some kind of shape, and now you've riled up all of the oni by breaking the keystone. So, you," A finger pointed at Lady Kasen, "You," And then at Yuugi, "And you," And finally, at Raki, "Fuck off out there before I feel the need to tear your bodies to bits and sell off your flayed skin as a bed spread! To a fucking normal person!" Raki looked about ready to open her mouth and shout back, but Lady Kasen wisely let her bandaged hand wrap around her mouth like a gag, preventing her from getting a word out. "Go and calm down the oni before - before..." She now looked a little lost for words. "Just - Just go away. Go away, now."

Yuugi looked like she'd mentally disappeared to somewhere happier, and the two Ibaraki's looked like they weren't sure if they should run away or fight. Still, all three of them shuffled out of the room silently, which I found to be very impressive, because I hadn't realised anyone at all was capable of dealing with oni like that, even Yamame. Suika, notably, had escaped coming to the shouting session by virtue of escaping the keystone in her mist form, just in time to see Kisami storm out and call in the three other oni, and she'd made the wise decision to remain in her mist form for the time being.

After my sudden declaration at the hot spring, Yamame and I had remained in the hot spring for a while longer, both to cuddle and because braving the wasp's nest that was the centre of the Hot Spring Town seemed like a dangerous idea at the moment. Eventually, though, my body had begun to shrivel up from being in the water for so long, so I had to call it quits and escape back to the changing rooms. On the plus side, I did feel extraordinarily refreshed, and all traces of my aches and pains from being punched and kicked by Jo'on Yorigami had faded. I'd wandered out of the changing rooms and back to the reception, where the receptionist has suspiciously asked me if Yuugi would still be covering me. I shrugged and told her that I assumed she was, since I didn't really know what else to do about it. I'd been doing a very poor job of keeping any money with me, so I'd be really caught out if someone actually demanded payment from me, one of these days.

Perhaps I'd have to finally start charging the youkai living in my house rent. Either that, or I'd have to move in with Reimu and try to get the Shrine some more donations. There was still some money left in my house, come to think of it, so I'd likely have to get over my fears and venture within before long. I wasn't really scared of the youkai in particular, but the memories were likely going to be hard to deal with. I hoped that I could have someone with me when it came to that. Yamame or Reimu, perhaps. I'd thought about Tenshi, but come to the conclusion that while I could probably trust her with just about anything and she was very reliable, I worried that she'd be the type to attack first and ask questions later if I tried to get into the house.

SOMEONE SAVE KASEN
HER SUFFERING MAKES ME SAD

That's not nice anons. If you really loved her you would help her keep her secret in every way possible. She is most likely ashamed of her old self and doesn't need to be reminded of it.

Whoops thought this was the hermit thread

OP, don't tell anyone, but... I think Kasen might be an Oni.
