Chapter 2 - Baku

*ring ring*(Yuu's phone rang)

He picked up without looking at the name,

"Kentaru Yuu, What is it?" He answered.

"So~ how's my little bro?" Asked Ryunosuke Tarou, Ryunosuke Nao's older brother.

"I lost track of him,why?" Yuu said casually.

"The hell!!! Find him! If he got eaten I'll tell aunty your day of death!" Tarou threatened. He meant he'll kill Yuu not that he can foresee the future.

" Got it" answered Yuu on the other line. Tarou hanged up.

Yuu exited the room and started the search, when he arrived outside a lot of yokais are running in the same direction-the old building.

With that as his lead, he quickly run towards it.

"Ryunosuke!" Yuu called continuesly but Nao didn't respond.

"Damnit! Baku*!" Yuu cursed and called.

*The baku is a strange, holy beast that has the body of a bear, the head of an elephant, the eyes of a rhinoceros, the tail of an ox, and the legs of a tiger. Despite their monstrous appearance, baku are revered as powerful forces of good and as one of the holy protectors of mankind.

Baku watch over humans and act as guardian spirits. They feed on the dreams of humans—specifically bad dreams. Evil spirits and yōkai fear baku and flee from baku-inhabited areas. Because of this, health and good luck follow baku wherever they go*

Baku appeared and when baku was seen by other yōkais they scatter and hide.

Yuu is currently walking towards the next room while saying "Baku search for Ryu-" he didn't finish what he was saying when he saw Nao telling a story to a Sakabashira*

*(逆柱, Sakabashira) is a yōkai that is basically a haunted wooden pillar that is installed upside down as the result of a carpenter's mistake,it tend to attract phantoms,they become sakabashira,which then creatures phenomena such as poltergeist and illusions.

"Ryunosuke! What are you doing?!" Yuu pulled Nao away from sakabashira.

"I'm lonely and tired. . ."

"I'm lonely and tired. . ."

"I'm lonely and tired. . ."

"I'm lonely and tired. . ."

"I'm lonely and tired. . ."

"I'm lonely and tired. . ."

Skabashira said as its other upsidedown mouth repeated.

" If you're tired then end your life! Ack!" Yuu was smacked in the head by Nao.

" What are you saying? That's rude" Said Nao.

"But that yokai will eat you! That's also rude!" Said Yuu while pointing at sakabashira.

"Sakabashira won't do that! . . .maybe" said Nao.

"See!!, you're unsure yourself! That thing must've used illusion on you!" Said Yuu.

"No he didn't! I came here on my own free will" said Nao.

" You came here because of the Jyorougumo,right?" Asked Yuu when he already know.

Nao has gone silent.

" Don't worry, I've already captured her" said Yuu to comfort Nao's mental state.

"Huh? Then we'll go to Tarou-nii again?" Nao coldsweated.

". . .you don't have to go is you don't want to" Said Yuu while leading the way outside.

"Nah, I'll go" said Nao.

. . .

After school time is over,they walked for minutes in a mountain just to reach the shrine.
