I've decided to also upload this fic from my Ao3 to here as well to give the Yokai Watch section some more of my love. Before I continue, my Ao3 name is the same as it is here, just so you know that this isn't somebody else reposting my work.

But as per usual: Some notes.

1. Yokai are being spelled as "Yokai" since it's easiest for me. Also while many yokai have been given English dub names, a few others have not. I will be sticking with English names for my fic of characters and yokai that do have names, so if that doesn't float your boat text replace tools exist.

2. Like all my fics, this does not take place in a specific part of canon. I see it more of a loose adaptation of events mixed in with new ideas within it's own style and canon, a bit of an AU if you will.

3. The structure is a bit...different (being inspired by the "double story" of YW3 in a way). "Chapters" are story arcs, usually one to two parts long. They will be uploaded by part, and once a chapter is done, there's a one part intermission segment. Basically the story flow is Chapter X part 1 - Chapter X part 2 - Intermission X. Though, there may be a point when both stories merge...When will that be? Who knows, just have to wait and see.

4. At least 85% of the core elements of this fic were planned before Sukiyaki / YW3 2.0's release. Some elements of that update are here, but Intermission 2 and prior were from before that point.

5. There are a few Yokai Watch OCs in the mix. Consider this point your warning.

With all that out of the way, let's begin shall we?
