~~~ THE NURA MEN ~~~


Nura Rihan was calmly observing the Sakura tree that calmed him. Rihan's moment was destroyed when a rock hit him in the head, hissing in pain, Rihan unsheated his swordFahd when he turned back he found his father smirking at him.

"You're too calm. My idiotic son" Nurarihyon said teasing has own son

"And you're still as annoying as ever." Rihan said grinning back at Nurarihyon

"What did you just said? You little brat!" Nurarihyon said

"I said even if you're an old man you're still as annoying as ever!" Rihan said once again smirking at Nurarihyon.

The two was glaring at each other and was getting ready for having a spar, well more like a killing contest.

The two was about to start attacking each other when a wooden sword hit both of them in the head harshly. They hissed in pain and glared at the person who dare try to hit them hard on the head while having their little contest. They turn their heads to the direction where the person who hit their heads and found no other than Nura Rikuo with a smirk on his face.

"Seriously, the two of you act like brats" Rikuo said with a smirk

Rihan and Nurarihyon sat down beside the grinning Rikuo

"So how does it feel to be alive again, Rihan?" Nurarihyon asked his son.

"Feels Good. While I'm still here I want to spend more time with my beloved wife that's for sure." Rihan said proudly.

"I don't even know why I'm here. I'm going." Rikuo said

"Rikuo stay! Let's all talk since I and your father didn't get to spend that much time with you" Nurarihyon said

"Since you married Tsurara that is." Rihan added.

Rikuo hesitated at first and sat down beside his grandfather and father who smirked when they saw Rikuo accept their invitation without fighting them which slightly shocked them.

The three men watched as the Sakura tree gracefully swayed its branches with the calm and soothing wind. The silence was enough to make the three to remember their past with their loved ones.

Nurarihyon was remembering the day that he met and married Youhime and how happy they were when Youhime got pregnant with Rihan.

Rihan was thinking about Yamabuki Otome his first love and also his first wife; When he heard that Yamabuki's body was used as a host for Hagoromo it left scars in his heart, but even all that the only thing that he could think about was the day they met and how happy they were with each other.

Rihan was also thinking about Wakana his present wife. He remembered it all. The day he saved her when she was attacked by a yokai, The days when Wakana would always come with him and his Hyakki' but even when his death arrived it shocked him that the only person that he could picture in his mind was Wakana's smiling face. He knew that he would always remember Wakana's smiling face even in the afterlife.

Rikuo, on the other hand, was thinking about... no other than... Tsurara! The day they met and the first time they talked to each other, the first time they hugged when he was comforting Tsurara, the first time they fought together, their first date, kiss, and everything he ever did with Tsurara. It was coming back flooding his head with memories of Tsurara smiling, crying, and her embarrassed cute face. He knows he won't let go of these memories forever.

A smile appeared on the three Nura's faces and when the wind stopped and the Sakura stopped moving they began talking wit each other.

"So how are the meetings, Rikuo?" Nurarihyon asked

"The same as usual" Rikuo said with a humourless tone.

"What does that mean?" Rihan asked confused at his son's statement.

"Boring" Rikuo said bluntly.

"Ahhhh~!" Nurarihyon and Rihan said at the same time understanding what Rikuo meant by that.

"I remember my first time attending those stupid and boring meetings. I had a hard time sitting Japanese style for three hours and Oyaji here acted as if he was used to it." Rihan shivered at the memory and looked at Nurarihyon who only smoked his pipe.

"That's because I am used to it. You Idiot!" Nurarihyon said calmly but harsh enough to call Rihan an idiot.

Rikuo who was only watching behind the sidelines sweatdropped and watched as his father and grandfather were fighting each other like small kids.

"The two of you act like brats" Rikuo said teasingly and smirked when he saw a vein appear on their heads.

"What did you Say!" Rihan and Nurarihyon both asked while their fear was leaking out of them.

"You heard me." Rikuo said with a smug look on his face

"I don't even know if I should just sit down and watch the two of you kill each other or to join the both of you. But either ways it both sounds fun and definitely not a waste of my time." Nurarihyon said and grinned when he watched Rikuo and Rihan fighting.

After 3 hours...

Rihan and Rikuo was panting harshly and ended up sitting under the Sakura tree. The father and son pair was glaring at each other and smiled mischievously when they saw Nurarihyon walking towards them. When Nurarihyon was only a step near them they both disappeared and leaved a dumbfounded Nurarihyon holding a sake bottle.

"Oi! Oyaji!" Rihan called out

Nurarihyon turned around and smiled smugly but that smile turned into a frown when he saw that Rikuo was holding a camera with him and smirked when they showed him the candid shot.

A vein popped on Nurarihyon's head when he saw how he looked like and in a second the camera was gone and was tossed in the pond by Nurarihyon who walked towards Ritsuko who was playing around the masion.

"I hate him." Rihan and Rikuo both said at the same time.

"He acts like a kid." They added and narrowed their eyes on Nurarihyon who was playing with Ritsuko.

"He's stealing my son/grandson away from me." They both added and in a matter of seconds a fan hit their heads.

They turned around and glared at the person who hit their heads and destroyed their thoughts about how to prank Nurarihyon.

But who they both saw made Rihan and Rikuo tense. They saw Tsurara and Wakana smiling at them holding a fan in their hands.

"Hi W-Wakana. What you doing with a fan?" Rihan asked cautiously

"Eh? Ahhh! Because it's hot but it wasn't me who hit you Rihan-san." Wakana said while smiling cutely

"Who?" Rihan asked

"Tsurara-chan, she said that the two of you act more like a brat than Otou-san does." Wakana said

"Why? Isn't it true?" Tsurara asked

"Oh yes it is true. Indeed they act more like brats than I do." Nurarihyon joined in and stood beside Wakana.

"Tsurara, who's side are you really on?" Rikuo asked

A bead of sweat appeared on Tsurara's cheek and just hid behind Wakana.

The others who saw Tsurara's answer to Rikuo's question sweatdropped when they saw her hide behind Wakana.

'Well, that was comforting... But that hurts a lot!' Rikuo said sulking slightly at the idea.

"Oh Don't Worry Rikuo-kun. I'm sure Tsurara doesn't mean that." Wakana said smiling sheepishly

"I hope." Rikuo said and went directly to his room.


Childhood friends, Jealousy, and A confession to her friends


"Rikuo-sama! Rikuo-sama! Tsurara! Tsurara-chan!" Kejoro's voice rang in their ears loudly.

Rikuo and Tsurara both turned their heads to the direction the hair yokai was shouting and rushed through the scene without thinking any further. But what they saw wasn't what they were actually expecting. Luckily for them Rikuo was able to hide their presence in time before even one of them take a look at their directions.

They both saw Kiyotsugu, Shima, Maki, Torii, and Kana all talking at the living room. Of course, Rikuo doesn't mind it at all since they all know the truth about his family. But what actually made him nervous, a bit, was that how will they react if they find out that his married with Tsurara for almost three years and that he actually have a family. 'I wonder.'

Without warning Tsurara ran down the hallways towards Ritsuko who was heading towards the living room.

"Ouch! Okaa~san!" Ritsuko said when Tsurara suddenly dragged him to his room.

This action did not go unnoticed to the others and turned their heads seeing Tsurara and Rikuo suddenly appeared beside her.

"Rikuo-kun!" Maki yelled hugging Rikuo.

Brown orbs watched the scene with mild jealousy 'Now only I had the guts to do that.'

Kana gulped once and sticked herself to Rikuo's right arm 'Just like when we're still classmates' Kana thought and smiled.

Not knowing amber eyes watched their every movement and anger was forming in her 'I know I shouldn't feel jealousy since Rikuo-kun's my husband. But I just can't help it' And with that Tsurara started walking towards the group who was greeting Rikuo.

The group who saw a unfamiliar woman heading their way turned their attention to the person who was in front of them.

"Tsu-Tsurara-chan!"Maki and Torii shouted simultaneously and hugged Tsurara hard making them fall to the ground.

Rikuo who saw this slightly chuckled and pushed Kana away lightly and helped Tsurara up.

"A-Arigato, Rikuo-kun!" Tsurara said

Rikuo smirked when he saw the confused looks on his friend's faces and looked at Tsurara who was smirking 'Ara~! Who knew that my dear Tsurara can smirk as dangerously like that...'

"A-Ano Rikuo-kun what is Tsurara-chan doing here in your house?" Kana asked 'What the heck is she doing here like this is her own house! I hate her! I always did and always will!' Kana followed in her mind.

"Eh? Ah~! You mean Tsurara here? Oh! I haven't told you yet have I?" Rikuo said

"Tell what to us?" Kiyotsugu asked standing next to Kana who moved closer to him.

Rikuo smirked and looked at Tsurara who turned her head to the pond

"More or Less why is she here in your house like she owns the place?" Kana asked with a hint of jealousy in her voice 'I wasn't supposed to say that'

Tsurara who heard the question only got more mad and not taking the tension of the air that filled the room. Tsurara turned to look at Kana's direction and glared at her when she was about to say something.

"Kana-chan, just why-" Tsurara was cut off by a loud yell.

"Otousan~! Okaasan~!" Ritsuko's voice was heard

"Who's that?" Shima said

"N-No One!" Tsurara said stuttering a bit.

Rikuo watched as his wife was trying to entertain their guests and stop them from going anywhere with full amusement. He spotted Ritsuko running to their direction and that made him more amused on what Tsurara was going to do. 'Just one more step'

"Okaasan!" Ritsuko yelled and hugged Tsurara.

"Eh? Ah~! R-Ritsuko. What are you doing here?" Tsurara said with a smile

Kiyotsugu and the gang was shocked when they heard the kid call Tsurara okaasan which was completely new to them.

"Are~! I wonder who's the father my dear Tsurara." Maki teased Tsurara and smirked when she saw her blush.

When that question was asked Rikuo smirked and Tsurara only blushed furiously.

"Okaasan, Are you sick? Your face is all red." Ritsuko said holding the hem of Tsurara's white furisode.

"Ahahaha! Tsurara! God your so innocent and you already have a son." Maki said teasing Tsurara who was blushing furiously.

"Shu-Shut Up!" Tsurara scolded Maki with a face so red.

"So~ who's the father?" Torii decided to join in the fun.

"Eh? Ahhhh. Eh? Ano... The father... its..." Tsurara said stuttering.

Rikuo who was watching the whole scene decided to save his troubled wife who was having a hard time when Kana suddenly showed up in front of him.

"Kana?" Rikuo looked at Kana

"Rikuo-kun... I want to tell you something for a long time that is, Rikuo-kun, I-" Kana was cut off short when Rikuo put a hand on her shoulders

"Kana-chan, you do not want to complete that sentence believe me."

Rikuo walked towards Tsurara and encircled a hand around her waist. "I'm Sorry but I'm afraid that I need to borrow my wife." with that said he carried Tsurara and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Kyaaa~! They make such a cute couple." Maki and Torii shrieked

Kana and Shima was having a hard time taking in the details and stormed off the house with Maki, Natsumi, and Kiyotsugu chasing them.

"I hate you!" Tsurara said hitting Rikuo's head.

"I Love you too." Rikuo said kissing Tsurara's cheek

"You know your going to have to explain to them and Ritsuko." Tsurara said playing with Rikuo's hair

"Explaining it to Ritsuko will be easy not until he asks questions" Rikuo paused "Explaining it to them will be hard though" Rikuo said and caught Tsurara's hand that was playing with his hair.

"What?" Tsurara asked tilting her head to the side.

"Your such a kid." Rikuo caressed her cheek and kissed Tsurara

In their love

She have learned how to let go

He learned how to be patient.

Both of them went through Hardships and Pain.

But whatever happen they walked forward and looked at the better side of their complicated life.

To their New Life Ahead!
