???'s POV

"Tell me what's on your mind, Gyuki." Night Rikuo said. I was standing not to far away. It started storming outside. I looked over at Gyuki and my brother, waiting for something to happen. "So, you've come after all. Then it's true. There's no doubt that the blood of the supreme commander runs through you." Gyuki said. The thunder boomed and the lightning crashed. "And yet, when the new morning comes you will return to being a human once again. And then, will you completely forget that you are a Yokai?" Gyuki asked. 'I know I won't. But it's a completely different story with him.' I thought and gave an audible sigh. Rikuo glanced at me then back to Gyuki.

"If the Day does not recognize your Yokai form, are you one person by day and another by night?" Gyuki asked, standing up. "Perhaps." Rikuo and I say together. "Why is it your so concerned about me?" Rikuo asked. "Fool." Gyuki said as he drew his sword, aiming at Rikuo's neck. I unconsciously grabbed a dagger hidden in my sleeve, ready to attack when Rikuo said to. "My resolve has remained the same." Rikuo said, lightning crashing in the distance. I saw Gyuki's eyes widened as Rikuo moved closer.

"Since my blood awakened that day." Rikuo said as he moved passed Gyuki, drawing Nenekirimaru (A/N: Quick note, my computer thinks that Nenekirimaru should be autocorrected to Aquamarine :P) out and clashing with Gyuki's blade. They continued to fight, which seemed more or less like a dance to me, Rikuo leading and Gyuki following. At one point when they clashed, Rikuo said something. "I will become the Third Heir. And rule over all Yokai." Rikuo said with conviction. I was amazed at how the fight was going. I smirked.

"All Yokai will follow me. And become my Night Parade of a Hundred Demons." Rikuo said as the lightning crashed. 'And I will follow you, Rikuo.' I thought with a smile.
