Hello there! This is my first fanfiction! Yay! I love Nurarihyon no Mago, and have wanted to do a fanfiction for it for a long time. I'm hoping it turns out okay. I'm not sure how many chapters are going to be in this one, or if it's just going to be a one shot or a two shot story. I'm trying my best to stick as close to the manga story line as I can, but I'm sorry if I end up getting a bunch of stuff wrong. The characters might be a bit OOC but thats to be expected. The time the story takes place is a bit after the manga ends. So a few months after the final battle with Abe no Seimei. My main character is someone I came up with while I was reading the manga for the first time! And I'm rather happy that I get to use her here. I hope you like it and feel free to tell me if you find something wrong or have suggestions on how to make it better!

Disclamer: I do not own Nurarihyon no Mago or it's characters! But Seiko is my OC, so don't steal her without my permission.

An island sits in the middle of a lake that stretches endlessly into the darkness in all directions. A cherry tree grows at the tiny island's center and it blooms a beautiful pink. Sakura petals drift down from the branches and disappear when they touch the ground. It is here that I stand, looking up at someone who sits on the largest branch with a red sake cup in hand. As I stare he looked down at me and my brown eyes meet with his bright crimson ones. He smiles at me briefly before standing up. I try to call out to him, but for some reason no words come from my mouth. I stretch out my hands, as if trying to reach him, but still it does not work. The wind blows and he disappears in the sakura, not to be seen again.

. . .Wait. . .

Don't go

. . .

My alarm clock rings and I open my eyes. I blink out the blurriness in my eyes and look around my room. No ones there. What a weird dream. . . I thought to myself. I turned off the alarm and then went about my morning. I got dressed in my new school uniform, I ate a brief breakfast, then I grabbed my bag and set out for my new school. It has been nearly a week since I moved to Ukiyoe Town and today will be my first day going to the school I'll be attending. As I walked my mind started to wander. I started to wonder what kind of people I would meet. I wondered what the class would be like, what kind of personalities I would see. It didn't take long to get to the school. I asked someone for directions and went to the faculty office, then after the bell rang, I was guided to my classroom. When I walked in, something caught my eye. A stray sakura blossom drifted by. hm? Sakura? It quickly disappeared. I wondered of I had imagined it.

"Good morning. Today I'll be introducing a new student." The teacher looked my way, as if he expected me to introduce myself.

"My name is Seiko Koizumi. Pleasure to meet you."

I scanned the class and looked at the auras that surrounded each and every person. For as long as I can remember, I've had this ability. It got me into a lot of trouble when I was younger, but now I know not to talk about the things that surrounded the people that I met. There was one aura that caught my attention. A boy who sat near the back who had short brown hair and wore rounded glasses. I couldn't see his aura. Rather, I briefly saw a completely different person sitting there.

"Nura-san, theres an open seat next to you, isn't there?"

The boy who's aura I couldn't see nodded and said,"yes."

"Koizumi-san, you can take that seat."

I nodded and walked over to the seat. The boy the teacher called Nura looked at me and smiled kindly. I responded with a smile of my own, but it felt like an empty response. I sat down and class began.

Class ended and lunch began. People crowded around my desk, asking me all sorts of questions. I longed to get away. Then Nura-kun walked up and asked me,"Would you like to eat lunch with my friends and I?"

The people who crowded around my desk looked at Nura-kun. A few of them left. It confused me a bit as to why they acted that way, but I dismissed it. I would take the devil's hand to get away from all the questions. "Sure."

He smiled and I stood up, grabbing my lunch as I did so.

"We eat lunch on the roof. The others should already be there."

He lead me to a small group of people on the roof. There was a few people from my class there. They took turns introducing themselves. Nura's full name was Rikuo Nura. The boy with curly black hair was Kiyotsugu. The girl with long blueish hair was Tsurara Oikawa. The girl with black hair was Natsume Torri. The girl with blond hair was Saori Maki. The girl with brown hair was Kana Ienaga. The boy with blond hair was Jiro Shima. According the them, there was also one other member of the group named Yura Keikain, but she was in Kyoto due to family circumstances and it wasn't certain if she was ever going to transfer back.

Even by the end of the introductions, I noticed something strange about the group. For one, both Kiyotsugu-kun and Okikawa-san addresses Nura-kun as Rikuo-sama. It struck me as odd for friends to do that. Even the people who didn't address him as such showed a bit more respect to Nura-kun than you usually would when speaking. I wondered briefly if Nura-kun was from a rich family or something.

As we ate lunch I listened into their conversation. They spoke about Youkai. Kiyotsugu-kun went on about how he found a great new place for looking for youkai. The others listened in, and gave opinions and commented on somethings; however, sometimes during the conversation they would stop mid sentence, glance at either Nura-kun or me, then say something other than what they said the first time. They went on like that for a while on till we were mostly finishing up our lunches. Then Nura-kun spoke up,"Koizumi-chan. Do you like youkai?"

The others went silent.

"I suppose. Why?"

"You can join the Kiyojuji Paranormal Investigation Squad if you'd like. It'd be fun, right Kiyotsugu-kun?"

Kiyotsugu suddenly grinned and nodded. He grasped my hands in his own and said,"Yes! That would be wonderful! You simply must join us! We can have your initiation at the youkai spot I was talking about!"

Saori-chan sighed,"You never change, do you Kiyotsugu? Let the poor girl choose for herself."

I couldn't help but smile,"I don't mind. I'll join if you'd like."

"Great! Then tonight we go to the Ukiyoe Town Abandoned Hospital!" Said kiyotsugu-kun.

The kiyo cross squad stood outside the hospital. The setting sun in the distance cast long shadows on the ground. One more person had joined the group. A large, strong looking boy who went by the name Kurata. Once the last person arrived the group headed inside.

The smell of anesthetic was still strong in the air despite the fact that the hospital had been abandoned over 50 years ago. The paint on the walls had chipped and in many places you could see the brick of the building. The tile floor was cracked in most places and in some places, the floor wasn't even present. Cobwebs hung in every corner and debris such as leaves, dirt, and trash littered the floor.

Kana-chan hung close to Nura-kun, who had shown up wearing a black kimono and a indigo blue cloak. She held onto one of his sleeves as she looked around with a slightly scared look in her eyes. It made me wonder if they were dating. Tsurara-chan walked behind the pair, glaring daggers at kana-chan. Kurata-kun walked next to Tsurara-chan. Saori-chan and Torri-chan walked side by side in front of Nura-kun. Kiyotsugu-kun and Shima-kun took the lead. Kiyotsugu-kun shone his flashlight around the halls.

The sun had set faster than expected and we needed it sooner than we thought we did. We explored room after room, looking to see if we could find youkai. Several times while we searched I thought I caught a glimpse of white hair, only to find that it was Nura-kun and Kana-chan. After nearly an hour of searching, and still nothing, we stopped in the lobby of the hospital to take a break.

"This place should have been crawling with youkai! I got over a hundred hits on this place being a youkai hot spot!" Kiyotsugu grasped his head and acted all dramatic as he ranted.

Nura-kun laughed a bit and said,"maybe we're just unlucky today."

Kiyotsugu stopped, seemingly having thought of something, then went over to Nura and whispered something in his ear. Nura smiled then shook his head,"Do you have so little trust in me? I didn't."

I wondered what Kiyotsugu had asked and was just about to ask when I saw something strange. Sakura drifted from seekingly no where. "Sakura?"

Everyone looked confused and looked at me. "Sakura?" Nura-kun echoed my words.

I looked down when I realized no one else could see it,"N-nothing."

Nura-kun blinked, looking slightly confused, then smiled at me,"You don't have to hide anything. We won't laugh."

I looked up at Nura-kun and briefly saw a glimpse of white hair, but it disappeared the second I saw it.

"Its just I keep seeing sakura today. I saw it on class, when we were eating lunch, and just now too. Sakura blossoms just drifting to the ground that disappear within moments."

Everyone was quiet for a moment then Nura-kun spoke up again,"There's more, isn't there?"

I looked surprised,"What?"

"You're still hiding something from us."

"H-how? No, wait. Never mind," I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened them again, I started to explain,"I can see auras. The thing I've been hiding is that Nura-kun. You don't have one. I've never met a person who doesn't have an aura before. But. . . Sometimes I see something. Another person overshadowing you. Just briefly, for a fraction of a second at a time. Do you," I paused,"know why that is?

There we go! Thats the first chapter. It ended up moving a bit faster than I thought it would, but it turned out okay at the very least. Forgive me if there are spelling or grammar mistakes, I've never been very good at stuff like that. Let me know what you think and if I should continue!
