The one who emerges from the dark... The one who indulges in the dark... Return with me...Allow me to keep existing...Bypass the rules of death and let me come back...Keep the reaper at bay and awaken...Limp Bizkit!

first off this verse hamon, spin and stands exist and pillar men and all that So the first arc is about the awakening of 3 new pillar men/women (i do not judge) it starts off when the MC hearing about some freak murders around where he lives. He goes to investigate with a sibling cause they decided to follow him to make sure he didn't get in trouble. And they find one of the three pillar people there. Knowing he would be killed the MC offers a wager and luckily this PP (PP=pillar person) was a person who enjoyed bets. The first bet was that if the MC could survive three minutes without dying he would be left alive. the MC manages to win cause of his stand but wasn't able to harm the PP cause of his lack of knowledge in Hamon. So the PP offers another wager and without hearing any of it the MC cockily accepts. the PP then states the terms. Which are he has half a year to challenge him again or he will kill his sibling. The MC gets scared and then the PP vanishes in their dramatic pose. ) and that's all i got (sorry if its bad)

Chap 1 I'm not an Invader! I'm an Intruder.
(Canceled. Haten if you want have Kaede break the fourth wall about this or something. She is best gal after all :v) Kaede was the first to arrive to the "crash place". The world begun to shake as a new presence forced itself into reality through the fabric of the dimensional gap. For better or worse, it was her the one who arrived at the place first. To begin with, it wasn't supposed to happen anytime soon, both her and Kazuma has promised not to lend their power to someone from within the world anymore, or as he liked to express "shove it into someone".

Tilting her head to the right side, she happily jumped through the place. Although it was called crash place, there was no signs of a crash nor a landing, after all the one that stood a few meters away from her had pushed through space and time itself to get there. It should have been a very impressive sight, but after having done it herself, see someone else do it and see Issei "implode" and become someone else... Well, let's say Kaede has seen some stuff already.

Although Kazuma insisted on killing new invaders immediately, Kaede disagreed. If someone else were to take Ryuuta's place, it could theoretically be possible to free themselves from their restrains and leave immediately the timeline; after all both of them were chained to Ryuuta and to Ryuuta only. Vergil's death served as proof, proof enough for her, but not enough for her masculine companion to believe her. And she promised to follow him, so it couldn't be helped, but just getting information about the new invader couldn't hurt, right?

"That was harder than i thought. You know intruding on places isn't usually this hard." a shadowy figure said. Well shadowy figure was to exact as the being seemed to be just a shadow with a mouth and eye holes. "Oh right silly me i need to pick a form before entering! Seems my original form can't be used here either." the shadow said a bit sadly. Snapping his fingers the shadow grew waist length far green hair, red eyes and dark skin. He was wearing a black t-shirt, matching pants, shoes and bandages around his left eye and neck.

"Now for a name i pick Alexandre Lovecraft and i'll just kept the rest obscure." Alexandre said cheerfully as he turned to Kaede who was watching him with a smile. "Hi, I'm Kaede nice to meet you mister Invader!" Kaede said cheerfully and with a smile that seemed to never vanish. "I'm not an Invader! I'm an Intruder since i hold Book Marker." Alexandre said back a bit upset."Anyways, where am I invading today?"

"Hooooo... You've been intruding? That's cool" Kaede commented as if she was about to laugh "This timeline is being held by a fellow named Ryuuta Bellemonth, if that's what you mean" she explained tilting her head as if she was thinking "Although he kind of messed up and everyone in canon is aware of what's happening... But who cares! Are you staying around? Maybe we could do something fun since I don't take the stage in about a few hours" Kaede said looking at her wraist as if she had a watch on it.

Tapping his chin Alexandre began to think to himself. (Ryuuta Bellemonth seems he has a Book Marker as well. Well anyways, this girl might be trouble if she tries something. I might lose before i even check this timeline out!) thinking this caused Alexandre's face to become sad and some tears come out. "Okay so if i follow my rules Indra shouldn't be able to find me this time or anyone else who could destroy me." Alexandre said aloud without nothing he was speaking out loud.

"Anyways, i'll take your offer on some fun Kaede!" Alexandre said cheerfully as he looked at the air. (So Book Marker has some info of this place thats good. So this place is a stop for Invaders which function like Intruders.They are basically the same. yada yada bound yada yada oh so its basically the same as Book Marker) Alexandre thought again as he walked over to Kaede.

"That's great!" she clapped her hands together and quickly went over to his side "Where do you wanna go? Guess you've been over Kuoh for a while now (lol), so anywhere is fine by me" Kaede spoke with a ten megawatts smile.

"Cute." Alexandre muttered as he looked at Kaede and then looked away. "I've been to everywhere in Kuoh about a thousand times. How about an abandoned church or maybe seeing Kazuma or Ryuuta?" Alexandre said not realizing he was not told the name Kazuma. Looking at the air again he flicked his hand for a moment before smiling. (So seems Kaede isn't to special has only one Sacred Gear. Its Balance Breaker won't be to hard to beat but i doubt i'll be able to hurt her because of the other factors) Alexandre thought as he kept walking and bumped into a street pole and hit his forehead on it. "Ow!" he said a bit teary eye and rubbing his forehead.

"Hahahaha!" the girl on the other hand, openly laughed at the guy; unlike what he was thinking about her, she wasn't thinking anything special about him, she didn't even answer his compliment, her mind was somewhere else; or so it seemed "Hey, are you alright?" placing a finger over her mouth, she inquired.

"Yeah i'm just peachy" Alexandre said a bit annoyed at the street pole. "I guess Book Marker isn't safe to use while walking. I mean i could be hit by a truck because of this thing!" Alexandre said aloud clearly annoyed at his own Sacred Gear. "Whelp anyways where are we going now Kaede?" Alexandre said still looking for something on Book Marker.

"..." she dropped her smile for a moment. Her eyes stared dead into Alex's eyes and sighed, mumbling something between ''"Now I understand..." after which she regained her usual cheerful smile, although it didn't reach her eyes "I was asking that to you, we could go anywhere, though I don't have many ways move around the country, I know that Kazuma-kun ''can do something about it" her smile became a bit evil, telling Alex that she didn't miss that piece of information "Y'know? I'm somewhat hungry, along Ryuuta came a pizza restaurant near to Kuoh Academy, we could go there if you want" with a movement of hand, she took her cellphone from... Somewhere, and quickly typped on it before saving it again.

"Scary smile." Alexandre said as he put his hand into his pocket. (She just ratted me out i think while thinking... Thats some thinkception) he thought to himself laughing a bit. "Yeah lets get pizza i guess i'm hungry haven't eaten since the last timeline." Alexandre said cheerfully as he started to think of a plan in case things went south fast.

"Okay!"

Without a second thought, Kaede followed Alexandre from behind, with her arms joined behind her back.

"ummmmmmmmm?" was all Alexandre could say as he as he let out a sigh and began to walk aimlessly. (Hopefully i get there somehow.) Alexandre said lost in thought as he crossed a green light avoiding every car that almost hit him without a thought. Alexandre finally stopped at a street hoping he was there. "Is this even close to where it is?" he asked a bit tiredly; though for his surprise the girl wasn't there.

On the contrary, she was on the opposite street, she has crossed to his position, then to the other side. With a turn of her head, she pointed out to behind her. She kept her hands behind her back, and simply turned around and began walking. Of course, she does know where she is going.

"Makes sense she knows where she is going." Alexandre muttered as he crossed the street and followed her. (I wonder what the MC is like in this world. Or rather what he has created.) Alexandre thought. He couldn't get much info on anything else from Book Marker which made him think that he couldn't read other Book Marker's or he wasn't paying attention. He finally caught up to Kaede after thinking for a few minutes.

"Yo this is ??? so my creator Vermillion decided to stop this project because in his dumbass words that he got bored. Wow that was OOC of me but whatevers! Now lets see what Kaede has to say about this!"

(haten your kaede comment :V)

Oz
In1 the foggy night a boy with spiky hair stood on a roof with a smile on his face. "It seems that they are going to be Heroes as well." the boy said as he jumped off the building and made a hole in the sidewalk. "It seems i'll get to join more heroes like myself!" they boy shouted with energy as he fist pumped.

"I Oz the Hero of justice shall wait for the day they will help save this world!" he shouted with a lot more energy as he started to walk out of the hole. This boy was Oz the self proclaimed Hero who thinks that the ensuing Havoc will be for the better of humanity.

Nico
In the distance, a boy with a spear turns to the corpse next to him and smiles "World Domination Proclamation, huh? Sounds nice" he commented before stabbing the body again. "I wonder if i should join... Might be fun" the boy pondered as he leaned on his spear that was still inside of the corpse. Pulling the spear out of the corpse the boy cleaned the blood off the tip with his sleeve.

"Whelp lets see how long it will take them. I'm betting on one month." The boy said aloud cheerfully as he walked away from the corpse. Trudging through the cold desert the boy simply grinned at the prospect of having a new goal in life. Other then his current one which is to just survive. "Hopefully they don't do that thing again with forcing me to watch the sky. Its really a pain in the neck." The boy said laughing at his own joke.

The boy walked thorough out the desert. This boy was named Nico and he was waiting for when the Havoc would start.

Nico's past
As the others has been being hunted Narlathotep made a deal with the vampires to give Nico to them and they would allow him to remain within their territory Nico was born and was raised as a servant in the house he grew up without any fellow children, so he developed his shy personality however, since he's eldritch in his blood, it became obvious that the vampires would prefer to have him having other powers than unlocking his madness it was unlocked anyway, not by trauma or tension, but because it is in his abnormal nature He was given the True Longinus, since it is so powerful, it'd be hard for him to use, and would have to pour a lot of power to use it, it seemed to work until he begun to get used to it the vampires started treating him worse since they feared his insane nature

Chap 1: (name pending)
It was a sunny day in Japan as a white and blue bus with the words GOLD STAR printed in big gold letters passed by. Inside there was a twenty-five students who were all wearing the same Gold Star academy uniform but with the difference between female and male uniforms. The male uniform had a black suit with matching pants and shoes on top of a white dress shirt and a red tie. With the females having the same except instead of pants they were wearing red skirts. e he most noticeable student was a teen who had vermillion covered hair. This teens name was Vermillion Giovanna he had an average build which made him look like just another teen with the exception of his hair and his amber colored eyes. He looked out the window and watched the trees and the few buildings he passed by blur together. Next to Vermillion was a teen that was a bit taller then him and had blonde hair tied into a pony tail and yellow eyes. He was currently playing on a portable game system and listening to music loud enough that people who didn't have the headphones on could hear it.

Vermillion turned to the blonde teen and pulled out one of his headphones a bit forcefully which pulled the blondes head towards Vermillion. "Turn down your music your going to make yourself deaf Jacob." Vermillion said with a bored tone as he turned back to his window and kept watching the blur. Jacob rolled his eyes and put his headphone back in and turned down the music a bit but not enough that it wasn't heard by outsiders. (How much longer until we get there?) Vermillion thought to himself. As if the bus had heard him it began to slow down as it reached a town.

Vermillion noticed the blur of trees and buildings slowly becoming a single images. Turning around Vermillion went to tell Jacob that they had stopped to see he had already got out and was heading towards the front of the bus. Being not as alert as Jacob he had to wait five minutes for the line of students to finally clear the bus so he could get out. When he finally got out he was meet with Jacob who had a grin on his face. "Seems someone wasn't paying attention again." Jacob said in a sing song voice which annoyed Vermillion a bit.

Now students move single file to the hotel! After that you may wander the town and be sure to be back before it gets dark!" a teacher shouted so they could be heard above all the students who were talking with each other. Vermillion and Jacob joined the mass of walking students and stayed in the back of the mass. "So Verm what are you going to do when we put our stuff up?" Jacob asked Vermillion curiously. "Don't call me Verm its Vermillion and call my parents to see how they are doing. Then you pick what you want to do." Vermillion said a irritated at being called Verm. Laughing at his friends irritation Jacob then put his arm around Vermillion's shoulder and pulled him closer. "So since we aren't going to be with adults i hope you don't mind that i invited a friend with us." Jacob said with his eyes closed and a smile. Pulling Jacob's arm from his shoulder Vermillion let out a sigh. "Its fine by me as long as they don't start anything with me or get us in trouble." Vermillion said with a fake smile and enthusiasm. After hearing this Jacob fist pumped and ran  ahead of Vermillion and talked with a girl. Unknown to Vermillion he was being watched by a woman who was on top of a building behind him. Feeling a cold chill on his back Vermillion turned around and saw nothing. "Must be someone talking about me" Vermillion muttered to himself as he walked with the students.

When they finally arrived at the Hotel Vermillion was the last one in and saw Jacob sitting in a chair. Seeing Vermillion he got up and walked over with him. "Took you long enough slow poke" Jacob said with his seemingly never ending enthusiasm. Vermillion rolled his eyes and had a small smile on his face as he walked up the steps to the floor which he and Jacob had to stay on. As soon as Jacob saw the number he started to get nervous and his eyes started to dart everywhere. "Whats up with you?" Vermillion said not the least worried as he walked over to their room. "You can't be serious we are on the fourth floor and in the fourth room!" Jacob shouted with fear in his voice. A bit confused at his friends outburst and not wanting to scare the other people on the floor who started looking at them strangely.

Pulling Jacob into the room Vermillion glared at him and asked him in a calm voice which was the opposite of what he was expressing. "Why are you freaking out because of a simple number four?" "It simple four in Japan means death and we are on the fourth floor in the fourth room thats like double death." Jacob said not shouting as much as before but a bit of fear could be heard in his voice. Rolling his eyes at his superstitious friend Vermillion pulled out his phone and checked if he had any messages. Since he had none Vermillion decided to just call his family later and hang out with Jacob till night. "Well lets hurry up and meet our three friends downstairs." Jacob said smiling while slowly inching out of the room. Chuckling at his friends paranoia Vermillion followed him down stairs.

Walking out of the building Vermillion saw a girl with long black hair that was tied pony tail. She was a few inches shorter then Verm and was also the Gold Star academy uniform. "Vermillion this is Mary and Mary this is Vermillion. Jacob said with a grin as he introduced the two. Vermillion put his hand out and Mary glared at him and turned to Jacob. "So what are we doing Jacob?" Mary said with a kind smile towards Jacob. Exploring!" Jacob shouted loudly as he started to speed walk away from the hotel.

After a few minutes of exploring Jacob had found an old house that had its main door boarded up. "I don't think we should go in its might be dangerous." Vermillion said a bit worried as Jacob mercilessly kicked the boarded door until he managed to brake it down. "You to scared to enter this building Ginger?" Mary said mockingly to Vermillion. Vermillion bawled his fists in anger and was tempted to punch her before breathing slowly and calming himself down. "Hey, the doors down gal and gent. Now lets go exploring!" Jacob said shouting as he walked inside the broken down door.

Jacob walked inside the house and was followed by Mary who was then followed by Vermillion. Looking around Vermillion saw dust everywhere along with a few chairs and tables. Vermillion went the opposite direction of Jacob and Mary because he didn't want to be around Mary. Vermillion made his way to a kitchen and saw a few cabinets and a sink. Vermillion opened a cabinet and saw nothing inside and opened a few more before getting bored and walking away from the kitchen.

"Hey, don't jump on me Mary" Jacob said laughing with Mary from what Vermillion could hear. (I guess i could ditch them since that is what Jacob would do to me) Vermillion thought to himself as he started to walk out the house. Pulling out his phone he message Jacob saying he was going and to make sure they were back to the hotel before night. Almost instantly Jacob responded back with a thumbs up emoji.

Vermillion decided to wander the town seeing he figured he had a few hours before it became dark. Walking around he found a small store and bought some snacks which he ate while sitting on a bench. While on the bench he felt a hand tap his shoulder which made him jump. Turning around he saw a tall woman who had purple hair that reached to her shoulders. She also had pale blue eyes that look almost white and her cheeks were a bit red. She had a curvy figure and large breasts which were coverd by a green long sleeve sweater, black short shorts which revealed her long legs and green flip flops. She also seemed to have a gourd tied around her wrist which she took a sip out of every few seconds.

Vermillion stood up and waved at the lady. "Miss why did you tap me? Do you have business with me?" Vermillion asked the woman politely as he studied her drinking from the gourd. "Hello kid wanna go see something cool?" the woman said while almost falling over. Even though most of his mind kept saying to refuse he said casually "Sure i'm in." Mentally face palming himself Vermillion (Why did i say yes! I'm such an idiot!) Vermillion yelled at himself in his head. He was shaken out of his thoughts when he felt a hand grabbing his hand and pulling him away from his bench.

"What's your name lady?" Vermillion said as he was being pulled and had to run a bit so he didn't trip and fall. Instantly stopped after hearing the question which almost made Vermillion fall. "My name is Ibaraki!" Ibaraki said with a grin before she started pulling Vermillion again. (Lets hope she isn't a serial killer thats going to try and cut my hand off and do stuff with it) Vermillion thought to himself as he was being pulled.

When Ibaraki had finally stopped in front of a houe Vermillion felt his hand buzzing because of how long Ibaraki was holding it. "First i made a quick stop because we need some materials to do it!" Ibaraki said as she walked to the door and opened it. Seeing Vermillion not coming in she pointed to him and then the house. Vermillion walked inside of the house as he was commanded.

Walking inside he saw the place was a bit messy with empty sake bottles on ground and a few beer ones to. (Well if she was a killer she would be more organized i think) Vermillion thought to himself as he followed Ibaraki who was walking to the kitchen. She pulled out a sake bottle and poured its contents into a black bottle that made its contents hard to see.

"So do you drink Vermillion?" Ibaraki said as she started to put more drinks inside of a bag. "I don't i'm underage... Wait how do you know my name i never told you?!" Vermillion said suspicious of Ibaraki now. "Thats a shame well i'll get you a soda or something" Ibaraki said brushing off Vermillion's question. (I should leave i don't feel like this is a good idea) Vermillion thought to himself as he started to walk slowly to the exit.

"Don't leave yet Vermillion i heard your name from your friend when you got here" Ibaraki said to Vermillion as she finished loading her bag and walked over to him. Pulling his hand she lead him to a sofa and handed him a bottle and pushed him onto the couch while she left the room. Looking at the bottle Vermillion opened it and looked at the contents which was hard to make out but it seemed to be thick.

Ibaraki came into the room as Vermillion was looking in the bootle. "Drink some its milk don't worry" Ibaraki told Vermillion with a smile on her face. Vermillion trusted the woman and put the bootle to his lips and began to drink from the bottle. When the liquid passed his lips Vermillion felt a burning sensation in his throat and his head started to hurt.

"The hell did you give me!" Vermillion shouted in anger at Ibaraki who just kept smiling at him. "Don't worry you will live but you are going to be in a lot of pain when you wake up" Ibaraki said reassuring Vermillion who didn't take it so kindly. Trying to make his way to the door Vermillion felt his legs become heavier until he fell to the ground. His eyes started to get heavier when he fell. "Y-You B..." before Vermillion could finish what he was saying he passed out on the floor.

Ibaraki looked at the boy and kept smiling. "Vermillion Giovanna you are going to be the one who helps me get to the top!" she said with excitement in her voice. Ibaraki picked up Vermillion's body and took him outside with her. (Now when you wake up we will see the Night Parade. That should tell us what you have become) Ibaraki thought to her self as she vanished from sight while holding Vermillion.

Vermillion woke up in a small room that had a black sofa and checkered floors with red curtains hanging around the room. "Hello?" Vermillion said while rubbing his neck because of his throat hurting. Vermillion heard his voice echo for a bit before there was only silence again. He started to walk around the place and pulled some curtains only to be meet with a black wall. "So you finally found the place." A distorted voice said from all around Vermillion. "What do you mean by found this place? Also where is this place?" Vermillion asked the voice questioningly.

"To early it seems..." The voice said trailing off. "What do you mean to soon?! Just tell me where the heck i am!" Vermillion shouted at the voice with a mixture of anger and annoyance. At this point Vermillion was at his breaking point because of what had happened before getting here. After a few moments of silence the voice started to talk again. "Doesn't matter your going to leave in a few minutes so i won't waste my time giving you a rushed explanation." The voice said with a hint of boredom in its voice. Before Vermillion could respond behind him a door appeared.

"I suggested you leave now before they feed you to one of them." The voice said as the door slowly opened to show pure darkness. "Can't you just tell me one thing so i can understand what the heck is going on?!" Vermillion shouted at the voice in anger. "Welcome to your new life kid" The voice said to Vermillion while chuckling a bit. Before Vermillion could question the voice any further he felt his body moving towards the door. As Vermillion passed through the door he felt himself falling into darkness.

After falling through the darkness Vermillion could start to hear voices. "Hey, is he dead?" a female voice that Vermillion recognized as Ibaraki. "Maybe we should just feed him to the Nozuchi?" A raspy male voice said to Ibaraki. (So he was right about the feeding.) Vermillion thought to himself as he slowly opened his eyes and saw he was in a tent that had a mat and few other people were standing outside. From what Vermillion could make out they didn't look human. (Must be whatever she gave me) Vermillion thought to himself brushing off the possibility it was something else.

"Yay your alive!" Ibaraki said happily before being meet with a punch to the face from Vermillion that made her fall over. "Ow! What was that for Vermillion!" Ibaraki shouted at Vermillion while rubbing her face. "You drugged me and then brought me to some tent in the middle of God knows where!" Vermillion shouted back at Ibaraki in annoyance. Turning his slightly to the right he saw an old man who was drinking tea and sitting down on the floor of the tent. The old man would most likely reach his waist standing up Vermillion deduced. He was wearing formal robes and had his nails painted black. But what Vermillion noticed more than anything was his gourd looking head.

"So you go the results Nura?" Ibaraki said with the excitement a child would have christmas morning. "Yeah i do" The man known as Nura said to Ibaraki. There was a brief moment of silence before Ibaraki motioned with her hand for Nura to continue. "Well your guess was off by a large margin he is a Nurarihyon now" Nura said while taking a sip of his tea. After hearing this Ibaraki began to smile and hug Vermillion. "Yay this should make things easier!" Ibaraki said shouting happily. "What the hell is going on!" Vermillion said with anger in his voice as he pushed Ibaraki away from himself.

"Well you drank Heavenly Sake so you lost your humanity and that makes you a Youkai now. But to be more specific your a Nurarihyon now." Ibaraki said casually explaining Vermillion's situation. "Hahahahahahahahah" the only thing Vermillion could do was laugh at his situation. "I doubt i'm a Youkai since i don't look like a monster and i don't see any around here." Vermillion said trying to find a hole in what Ibaraki said. "Well then i'll show you." Ibaraki said with a grin on her face as she suddenly grew raccoon ears on her head and a long raccoon tail.

"Yeah you probably put something in what i drank earlier." Vermillion said trying to use logic to make sense of what he saw. "Well seeing how that isn't enough to convince you kid follow me." Nura said getting up from the floor and motioning to Vermillion to follow him. Vermillion got up and followed Nura outside of the tent while still looking at Ibaraki's new features. When Vermillion looked outside he felt like his heart had stopped beating. What Vermillion saw was a hundred Youkai's of different species all talking, drinking or playing games. "W-w-what the hell." Vermillion mumbled at seeing all the Youkai and trying to process the information.

"You okay Vermillion?" Ibaraki said a bit worried as she tapped Vermillion on the shoulder. However, Vermillion didn't respond and just kept mumbling unaudaible words to himself. Letting out a sigh Nura hit Vermillion at the back of the head knocking him out. "Hey! Don't damage him to much!" Ibaraki said as she started to prod the knocked out Vermillion. "He was going to pass out of shock anyways. Seems he can't process this as well as others do." Nura said taking another sip of his tea.

"Well might as well get him home and i'll also need to give him an orientation of being a Youkai..." Ibaraki began to trail off as she was talking to Nura. "Well make sure you don't break him." Nura said with a chuckle. "Whelp i better get going Nura before he wakes up" Ibaraki said with a small smile as she picked up Vermillion and threw him over her shoulders. (Now i'm going to need him to go there so i can keep on eye on him) Ibaraki thought to herself as she vanished from sight. "Well this should be interesting to watch" Nura said as he walked over to the groups of Youkai.

Back At The Hotel
"Jeez where the hell is he!" Jacob shouted while passing across his room. After finishing exploring with Mary he had decided to come to the Hotel and try to convince Vermillion to sneak out with him. However, he didn't find Vermillion there and he had been waiting for hours. "I hope nothing bad happened to him." Jacob said worriedly as he bit his own tongue. Pulling out his phone he left another text message for Vermillion's phone. "Well I might as well go to sleep." Jacob said as he got onto his bed and started to pray for his missing friend before falling asleep.

Chap 2: (name pending)
When Verm opened his eyes he found himself in the same room he had been when he had drank the liquid inside of the bottle Ibaraki gave him. He was laying down on a sofa in the room. "Seems you came back Vermi...I kind of expected it to be longer since i'm still trying to get my speech ready." the voice said laughing at his own joke.

Verm kept silent and got off the sofa and began to walk around the room. "Rude today aren't we? Well how about this i'll let you ask me any question you want so we can at least gain some trust. How does that sound?" The voice asked with what Verm guessed was desperation. (Seems it hasn't talked to anyone in a while. Might as well get something out of it) Verm thought as he moved a curtain to reveal another wall. "What are you?" Verm asked with a serious expression

"I can't tell you yet." The voice said apologetically "I want to leave now." Verm said harshly to the voice. Without responding a door appeared behind the curtain he moved earlier. Verm pushed the door causing it to open and making him fall through into darkness.

Verm opened his eyes for the second time and found himself in a small room with the bed he was on, a dresser that was a few feet away from his bed, a night stand with a gourd on it and a window covered by a curtain. Verm was facing the wall himself with the curtain that let some light come through. It raining outside so the amount of light coming in was minimal.

Verm lifted the covers that were on him to show he was still in his uniform but without his tie on. Looking to his side he saw a form under the covers and lightly poked it. The only response that Verm got was a giggle. A bit confused by this he poked it again which cause it to giggle again.

After the second time he realized that there was a person under it. (Wait i'm not at the hotel. Where the hell am i?!) Verm thought to himself a bit panicked. Verm carefully tried to get out of the bed but before he could get off he feel over as he felt his leg get yanked.

Falling face first and with a thud on the ground Verm turned around and rubbed his face. He saw a silver chain with a lock that connected his leg to the bed. "Why am i chained up!" Verm half shouted half whispered aloud. The figure under the covers began to move and let out a yawn. As the covers fell Verm saw Ibaraki who was wearing same clothes she meet him with. "Oh! Your awake that is good also seems i was right in putting a chain on you." Ibaraki said cheerfully to which Verm replied with was a glare.

Ibaraki simply ignored the glare and got out of the bed while pulling a key out of her pocket. She walked over to Verm and crouched to his level. "Now if i unlock it you promise not to run off?" Ibaraki said seriously Verm nodded slowly as he lifted his leg up. Ibaraki smiled and put the key in the lock and unlocked the lock. As soon as Verm heard it unlock he took off running at full speed to the door. However, before he even got there Ibaraki seem to just appear in front of the door way. This caused Verm to bump into her and fall backwards on his butt.

She wagged her finger at Verm like a parent does to a naughty child. "W-w-whaaa?" Verm said confused on how she got there when she was just crouching moments ago. Ibaraki laughed at seeing Verm's confusion. "Well if your going to keep trying to run away i might as well tie you up." Ibaraki said jokingly to Verm who was taking her seriously.

Ibaraki walked over to Verm on the ground and offered her hand to him. Verm accepted the hand and got up with some help from Ibaraki. "So now i shall tell you everything you need to know!" Ibaraki said while pulling Verm outside of the room. Ibaraki pulled Verm down the stairs and lead him to a couch. Verm glared at the couch as if it was the couch's fault why he was in this situation.

Ibaraki let go of his hand and pushed him onto the couch while she went to grab a chair. Placing her chair in front of the couch that Verm was sitting on she looked at him expectantly. Verm looked at her confused which made her roll her eyes. "Okay so since you are new to this i'll explain. you Vermillion Giovanna are no longer human and you are now a Youkai a Nurarihyon to be exact." Ibaraki said all this casually as she took a sip out of the gourd that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Verm tapped his chin for a moment before speaking. "So what are you?" Verm asked curiously while still trying to take in all the information. Ibaraki smiled seemingly happy that he was taking it in easily. "I'm a Tanuki or a Raccoon Dog as you foreigners call them." Ibaraki said with pride in her voice. "So does this change my life style any in way?" Verm said in a serious tone. "Well yes it does Verm. You won't be able to leave Japan at all since your the first human turned Youkai in about a thousand years or something. Also your going to have to change schools so i can keep an eye on you." Ibaraki said in a tone just as serious as Verm's.

"Thats stupid." Verm said with annoyance. "Sorry but those are the rules." Ibaraki said apologetically. Verm kept silent for a moment before he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.Verm reached into his pocket and pulled it out seeing on the phone he had a hundred-one text messages and fifty calls from Jacob.

Verm looked at the phone and pressed the redial button on Jacob's number. Verm put the phone to his ear and heard Jacob shouting at him causing Verm to almost drop his phone. "Hey, whats up Jacob?" Verm said casually. "How am i?! Good that you asked you know not worried where you have been for the last freaking two days!" Jacob said mixing sarcasm with his shouting. Hearing this Verm glared at Ibaraki for lying to him.

"Sorry Jacob i was out and meet a girl we were hanging out. I crashed at her house for the night don't worry i'll be over in a bit." Verm said while getting up from the couch, hanging up the phone and walking towards the door. "Wait you can't i haven't to..." Before Ibaraki could finish Verm was already out the door and closed it behind him. Letting out a sigh Ibaraki took a long sip from her gourd and went to lay down on the couch. "Hope the kid doesn't royally piss of someone from another faction." she said as she slowly feel asleep on the couch.

Walking out the door Verm had to wander the streets a bit before he remembered how to get back to the hotel. Once he got there he walked inside and saw most of his classmates chatting in the reception area. Verm walked to the door the lead to the stair way and went up the steps only to meet Jacob on the second floor. Verm waved at him while Jacob glared at him. "I can't believe you ditched me for a girl!" Jacob said angrily while turning his back to Verm.

"Hi pot my name is kettle you're black." Verm said to Jacob with a grin. "Well i guess i forgive you. But you now owe me one!" Jacob said in his usual cheerful tone. Turning on his heel Jacob looked at Verm in the eyes. "Where going to sneak out at night and you can't say no since you owe me one." Jacob said to Verm with a mischievous glint in his eyes. From experience with dealing with Jacob Verm knew he didn't have a choice and just sighed and nodded.

Verm followed Jacob out of the hotel and down the street. They both passed by the old house whose door was broken down by Jacob. Seeing the broken door Jacob chuckled a bit before walking pass it. When the two finally stopped they reached a small shop. The shop had two doors and its windows were tinted so there wasn't really anything that could be seen. Its overall appearance made it look like it was old by how it was made from wood.

"Jeez should have brought an umbrella." Verm muttered as he started to shiver from the wet uniform he had on. "Where here!" Jacob said cheefully as he pointed to the shop. "What are we going to do here?" Verm asked a bit irritated at the rain. Jacob began to walk to the and motioned to Verm to wait outside.

(Great friend he is making me wait in the rain without an umbrella.) Verm thought to himself while rubbing his arms to try and keep warm. Verm didn't notice at first but realized that the rain had stop pouring over him. He looked up and saw an umbrella covering his head. Turning around he came face to face with a pale skin girl who was about his age. She had white hair that was tied into two braids with pink bows near the ends and purple eyes with a purple scar that Verm assumed was a tattoo underneath them.

She was wearing a white hoodie w that had cat ears over it, matching white pants that was tied with a purple belt and a purple long sleeve shirt under her hoodie. She also seemed to have an average figure which made some parts of her more noticeable due to the shirt appearing to be tight fitting. "Thanks for the shelter" Verm said thanking the girl who just looked at him with a stoic expression.

"Any reason why you helped me?" Verm said questioning the girl. "You looked wet and pathetic just shivering like that" she said with no emotions. "Hey! Thats just rude to say that to a person just because its raining and they didn't bring an umbrella." Verm shouted at the girl. "Your to loud please shut up." The girl said to Verm bluntly and with no emotions again. "So what were you doing here miss?" Verm said trying to make small talk with the girl. "I was looking for a person." the girl replied. "Well i must go see you soon Red." the white haired girl said as she walked away with her umbrella. As he watched the girl leave Verm felt the cold rain fall on him again.

"Damn it my shelter." he muttered as he started to shiver again from the cold. Verm turned around and saw Jacob leaving the store holding a bunch of bags. (I bet that was a tourist trap.) Verm thought as Jacob approached him. Verm silently gestured to the bags. "Just somethings that will protect us from curses and stuff." Jacob said casually as he pulled out a backpack from a bag and started to put things in them. (Well i was right. Why is he loading them into the backpack now?) Verm thought to himself while waiting for Jacob to finish his packing.

"Now since its raining and its going to be darker the normal in a couple hours we might need to sneak out. Because if we aren't seen by anyone and they ask about us." Jacob told Verm as he put things into his bag. "Why are we doing this?" Verm asked Jacob while helping him putting things in the bag. "Cause you owe me one no questions ask" Jacob said cheerfully as he finished the packing with the help of Verm.

Verm only nodded since he already knew he couldn't win. Making there way back to the hotel Verm couldn't shake the feeling they were being followed. (It might just be me still trying to take in what Ibaraki told me) Verm thought trying to lose the feeling. Just to be sure Verm stopped and turned around. All he saw where groups of people walking and talking. (Yeah just my imagination.) Verm thought to himself again as he turned back around and kept walking.

Arriving at the hotel Verm and Jacob went up the steps and into their room. "Okay here is the plan we are going to walk out the front door and wander around at night." Jacob said to Verm seriously as he went to lay on his bed. Verm was a bit surprised at how simple the plan was and a bit annoyed that Jacob most likely didn't think of what to do if some other intervening factors.

"So what if a teacher sees us?" Verm said questioning Jacob's plan. "They won't and before you ask no students are going to see us either." Jacob said waving him off. Verm shrugged and went to his bed and feel asleep. Verm was awakened by Jacob shaking him. Getting up Verm stretched and yawned "Tired!" he shouted as he yawned. "Okay its eleven pm so its the perfect time to sneak out" Jacob said as he walked towards to door and slowly opened it.

Getting up and running his hand though his hair Verm walked over to Jacob's bed and picked up his backpack. Following Jacob who was already walking down the steps and to the door that lead to the reception. Peeking out of the door Jacob turned to Verm and started to signal him to do something. Verm only looked at him in confusion which caused Jacob to face palm.

Jacob walked out the door and ran towards the exit and hide behind a fern which caused the receptionist to look at him weirdly. Verm on the other hand walked by the receptionist without her paying attention to him. This is most likely due to Jacob hiding behind a fern. Walking out of the building Verm felt the rain hit him.

Not giving up his ninja act Jacob jumped out the door as it was closing rolling on the ground and getting up. "Rain such a nice thing we have." Jacob said with a silly grin as he pulled out an umbrella from his bag that Verm was holding.

"Where are we going?" Verm said aloud while yawning. "We are going to try and find a Youkai and trap it or something!" Jacob said with enthusiasm comparable to a child getting a gift they wanted.

Hearing the word Youkai caused a chill to go down Verm's spine. "Wait why do you want to go look for that? Aren't they like demons? Also aren't you superstitious shouldn't this be something you avoid?" Verm said to Jacob frantically trying to get him not to follow threw with this.

Pondering for a moment Jacob seemed like he was going to go against it. This made Verm relax a bit. "Doesn't matter its best to live life to its fullest as a wise person once said." Jacob shouted so loud that Verm could have sworn he saw some pebbles move. Putting his finger to his lips Verm made a shushing sound to so Jacob wouldn't get them caught.

Jacob started to run off into the darkness with his umbrella as Verm watched. "Why do i always have to be the one who makes sure he doesn't get in trouble." Verm complained to himself as he ran after Jacob. (Okay i need to make sure he doesn't die and keep myself alive at the same time... Fun plan, Fun plan.) Verm thought to himself as he ran to Jacob's side who had just stopped walking.

Jacob was looking at a map that seemed to have some area circled in red. Verm stood behind Jacob and studied the map for a bit and noticed the closest placed circle was what he estimated would be about a fifteen minute walk. Pointing his finger at the map Jacob looked at Verm. He rolled his eyes in response and then pointed at the closest circle he saw. Jacob smiled as he folded the map and started to walk accompanied by Verm who was behind him.

After walking for a bit in silence they arrived at an empty street that had everything closed. Verm wasn't surprised since it was almost one am in the morning. Verm kept studying the area while Jacob stood still looking at his map. "Hey Verm when did this fog roll in?" he asked while still studying the map. Verm looked around and noticed that it started to get fogy.

Zeppeli's Strange Travels
Our strange story takes place in a casino. In the casino was a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He had an average build and size for a kid of his age. He was wearing a white and black checkered suit and dress pants with matching shoes. He seemed to be the youngest at the table with only the dealer looking to be close to his age. His name was Nico Zeppeli a member of the Zeppeli family. "Come on all of you its sad your losing to a kid who just joined a year ago!" Nico said mockingly and with a cocky grin. "Damn punk." one of the men to his side said. The man was bald and had a gold earing. He was wearing a black suit, matching pants and shoes with a red flower in the breast pocket.

"Well this punk is kicking your ass!" he said still with his cocky grin. Muttering a few curses the man then pushed all his chips in. "All in" he stated as he sat back in his seat. "Damn well then I guess... All in!" Nico said with his cocky grin fading. The man showed all of his cards and had a royal flush. The moment Nico saw that he slowly got up from the table and walked outside. "That's what you get you cocky brat!" the bald man shouted as Nico angrily pushed the doors open and walked into the cold December air. "God damn it!" Nico shouted at the top of his lungs as he kicked a trash can over.

A hand grabbed Nico's shoulder which caused him to slowly turn around and come face to face to the bald man who had a cocky grin. "What now punk!" the bald man said as he went pulled out a gun and pointed it at Nico. The bald man expected a scared reaction but all he got was a annoyed look from the teen. "Don't even try moron. I'm not in the mood right now!" he said in an angry tone as he turned his back to the bald man. "You freaking brat!" he said as he shot at Nico.

Turning at the last second Nico saw a bullet come at him. However, instead of hitting him it was stopped by a figure who appeared in front of Nico. The figure was a muscular man who had a cloth covering all of his face and most of his muscles. This muscular man was what most would call a Stand a manifestation of a persons soul. It had appeared to protect him. To the other mans point of view the bullets had just stopped in mid-air. This was because Stands could only be seen by other stand users or supernaturally aware humans. "W-why is the bullet just hanging there!" The man shouted confused and a bit scared. Not even paying attention the boy turned his back to the man. "R.I.P legs now." he said irritated as he kept walking. The muscular man who was named R.I.P flicked the bullet aiming at the mans knee. When the bullet passed through the man's knee his whole body gave way and he feel to the ground shouting in pain. Letting out a sigh Nico kept walking down the street.

Reaching a house that was two stories that was painted white with a blue roof. Looking at a window that was wide open with no lights on. Fist pumping Nico summoned his Stand. R.I.P which touches his shoes. Smirking he walked up the outside wall of the house and into the window. Walking in through the window he jumped down onto the floor and stretched. He looked around the room and made sure not to make to much noise. He had to share a room with the youngest in his family which was his sister. She was a heavy sleeper so Nico wasn't worried about waking her up. He walked over to his closet which was at the foot of his bed parallel from his sisters. Opening it he changed into a t-shirt and pants with the same checkered design on it. Going to his bed he slipped under the covers and feel asleep. The last thing he thought before falling asleep was. (Hopefully they don't notice the missing money.)

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!" the noise of an alarm clock could be heard from the other side of the room where Nico was sleeping. Moving under the covers to try and ignore the sounds. Finally it stopped letting out a sigh of relief he stopped moving. Feeling like he was being watched he kept fidgeting before turning around to look at his little sister. She was short for her age which was fourteen only two years younger then Nico. She had black hair which reached to past her nape but not to her waist. Her two sky blue eyes looked at Nico silently as he stared back at them. She didn't speak to him because she couldn't. Nico's younger sister was born mute so to communicate she learned to read lips and would use a notepad to tell what she wants. Letting out a sigh Nico got out of his bed. "Fine, Fine I'm up Bianca no need to watch me." He said as he started to rub his hair making his bed head worse.

She nodded and walked out the door to go downstairs. Letting out a sigh Nico went back to laying down. Looking at the celling he let a frustrated sigh as he remembered all the money he lost. (Should have stole his wallet for shooting at me.) He angrily thought to himself as he slowly rolled out of bed and feel to the ground. Getting up he walked out the door and went downstairs
