Grassroots side arc when?

The infamous Rokurokubi, master of the village and ruler of the canals felt rather small during the heavy silence that filled the idyllic clearing of what was once the site of her good friend's cozy cabin. She knew that the situation was bad, not only was her always calm and collected friend madder than an oni after you spilled their sake, but the fool of a hunter who caused her to crack just egged her on further.

Kagerou wasn't a violent person by any means and was happy to to avoid humans, staying in her little corner and only really heading out to meet up with friends or go on the occasional errand. However, everyone had a breaking point and now that Kagerou's venting had been interrupted the Rokurokubi was afraid that she might just be pushed too far.

Sekibanki could practically see her normally manicured nails stretch out into the claws, like she was struck with the light of a full moon as her body radiated an intensity rarely seen. The scariest thing was perhaps her voice, it sounded unusually sweet as she as at least her face was good at controlling her emotion.

With a face that displayed a kind of motherly wrath her sweet voice rang out, "Seki-san... You should take your boyfriend and hurry back home now, its going to get dark soon and you don't want him getting caught by any mean spirited monsters, right?" Sekibanki took the meaning at once and hoped from the bottom of her heart that the hunter would keep his big mouth shut and stop trying to 'defend' her, of course she was woefully wrong.


The hunter stared down the deadly wolf where she stood, she must have been intimidated as she stopped insulting and spoke to Sekibanki much more respectfully now. Still something made him a bit on edge, but surely he'd proved his point? As Sekibanki quickly jogged over to him she undid the lock on the cage and the top opened up allowing him to stand and stretch his legs.

Sekibanki watched him get out and as she watched him clamber out of the cage the worry and stress on her face was palpable. Her words were quiet as if she didn't want to be overheard, "Your fine right?" she looked the hunter up and down with a word of confirmation she nodded and continued, "lets just go, Kagerou-san is really mad and its better to let her cool down. I haven't seen her this mad in a long time but I'll make it up to her later, so don't worry about it for now"

The hunter felt Sekibanki grab his hand to lead to him to the tree line and out of sight of Kagerou, but something didn't sit right. He had a lot of questions to ask her thanks to his whole ordeal but if what she just said was truth and she had a long running association with her...

How long has Sekibanki been under this wolf's thumb? Its clear she feared her, with good reason too he supposed. However, that must mean that she's always been a spy for them, used and abused thanks to her fascination with youkai that clearly ran too deep! A terrible realization struck her, if she's a pawn for these youkai, beasts that considered his kind as nothing more than food on a good day than there was a good chance Sekibanki's future won't last long once she uses this 'network' of hers to get 'rid' of Sekibanki!.

As she held his hand leading him away slipped out from her loose grasp and turned to face the wolf.


Sekibanki turned after she felt his hand slip out of hers, she was mentally preoccupied enough to fail in noticing right away and by the time she turned to see what was going on she heard his voice again. In a loud voice, that judging by the subtle wince he made annoyed him as much as it rang her head, he shouted, "If you ever touch Sekibanki-sensei again I'll come back and finish what I started! You'll never hurt her again as long as I'm here!"

Sekibanki took awhile to process what he just shouted, a tad bit slower than Kagerou did it seemed as before the impact of his words could fully register on her mind she could've sworn she heard the sound of glass breaking. She turned in time to see time practically slow down, Kogasa had her hand in her face with her brow furrowed, Kagerou's face seemed to have a vein poking out visibly. The hunter's bruised up face had an idiotic fierceness to it that captivated her for a moment longer than needed.

Kagerou nodded sagely, and despite that she wasn't trying to be loud her voice was clear to Sekibanki, "Sekibanki-san... I see I'll have clear up your boyfriend's delusions for you" With that simple sentence the foot of the wolf moved forward, she thought that he was a fool; no bigger of a fool existed that would decide to go ahead and provoke a youkai like this when he was home free, did she mince her words somehow? Did he not understand that it was fine and she'd smooth things over? Regardless of the reasons why she found herself stepping forward to intercept Kagerou. She knew she wouldn't hurt him, not enough for it kill him anyways, its not like he didn't deserve it either; but he was her idiot to discipline, not hers.
