In the Mystic City, on the west hemisphere of Edenspire, a young man was lightly levitating around, bored of the heat and nothing new occurring yet. He went to hang out with his friends for a while, but then returned home early. He looked for a summoning board, and placed a kitsune mask and an oni mask on the sides. In the middle he placed fried tofu and a piece of chicken in the middle. He began to chant.

"Two Yokai, one of tricks and illusion. The other, rage and concealment. Come forth and become my familiars to exorcise malevolent calamities. Kitsune and Oni, reveal your forms to me!!"

He shouted with great vigor, and suddenly an outpouring of energy came from the board, and a bright light engulfed the room. As the light faded, the boy adjusted his glasses, and saw 2 floating figures, seemingly smiling with bright red eyes. The boy looked in awe, wondering what they were. The spirits soon became visible. One of them was an 8 tailed kitsune, he had on an orange and white kimono, and his body was feminine while having some masculine traits. The other spirit was an oni with crimson red skin, raven black hair, and had ripped up hakama pants with a katana at his waist. Both spirits were about 5'4, and tried seeming as intimidating as possible. The body didn't flinch.

"Uh, hello. Human, aren't you supposed to be utterly terrified? We're heavily dangerous Japanese spirits. You're supposed to be fearing for your soul right now."

The oni shouted in surprise while the boy was changing clothes in the bathroom. The kitsune looked around and found a photo book.

"Eh, Oni. This kid, he's…strange. Says his name is Suzaku Taylor, he was adopted at the age of 4 and is a Werebeast hybrid and is a practitioner of Shaolin kung fu. He likes to dye his hair pink, and he takes pride in his slightly chubby frame. His parents are Harris Taylor, and a shamanic sorcerer who's on his way back from overseas on the City of Nomadic Sages. His younger brother Anji likes to sleep in and is a Mazoku Goat monster. It also seems he's taken interest in a…"

He suddenly stopped as Suzaku was behind him, radiating a menacing aura while his face was red.

"I didn't say…you could read my dad's photo album! Put it down now and you better not have looked any further!"

The kitsune dropped the book and moved away quickly. Suzaku picked up the book and put it neatly on his computer desk.

"I'm sorry to yell. Just don't look at my things without permission. Now come on, we're gonna be late for school. We gotta haul tail before my dad comes back and sees I'm goofing off! Also, I'll call the Oni Pepper, and Kitsune can be Salt."

He said while brushing his hair and adjusting his T-shirt. The spirits nodded in agreement with the names and morphed into small flames on Suzaku's wrists, and all 3 of them ran to a school. Meanwhile, Harris was looking from a far distance, shaking his head while relieved his son made it to school on time.

"Ah my boy. Next time, try have your clothes out before morning."
