Well, after months of me not writing anything, I have finally returned to complete this. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this, so we'll see. I might need to add in one more chapter (possibly 2) to put in cute TsuraraxRikuo moments and their conversation.

I'm sorry I haven't written anything for a long time, but writer's block is an evil demon curse that seems to have chosen me as its preferred victim. Thankfully, I have managed to overcome this bout of writer's block (for now) and gotten this out. If it seems a little forced, doesn't flow well, or if there are multiple errors, it's because I am honestly still warring with writer's block.

Thank you guys for all the comments! I LOVE them so much! All of the wonderful comments on the first chapter really helped me with my war! Thank you all so much!

The Kiyo Paranormal Investigation Squad (I looked it up, so I hope this is right! If not, please tell me!) sat across from Rikuo and his family. Was this really their long-time friend? This intimidating, overpowering teen was actually the all-too-sweet Rikuo?! How could they be expected to believe this?! Still, they would hold their silence for now. An explanation was in order, and questioning the honesty of the yokai seemed foolish. Most definitely not a way to get answers.

"So, oh human ones, what would you like to hear about first?" Rikuo spoke with a teasing tone as he watched his friends' faces. There were still confused and disbelieving looks still planted on his friends' faces; shouldn't they be over the shock by now?

"How are you yokai and human at the same time?!" Yura was enraged at the moment; shouldn't she have known? She was an Onmiyoji! How had she failed to recognize all of these obvious hiding places for the yokai? She had been suspicious before, but never actually caught any yokai. How?!

"Easy. My mom is human and my dad was half-yokai. How else?" Rikuo smirked as his human friends tried to process this piece of information. On the inside, though, he was curious. What would they think of him at the end of this conversation? Though he did not seem it, Rikuo was terrified of losing his human friends. They were precious to him, no matter what form he took on.

"A human was with a yokai?" Torii was the one to speak, blinking her cat-like eyes curiously at Rikuo.

Rikuo's mother smiled happily at Torii. "Of course, Rihan was a wonderful man. I loved him very much," Wakana's voice was very bright as she spoke, eyes closed as she smiled.

"R-Rikuo, you're the one Kiyotsugu has been looking for all this time," Shima trailed off, looking over at Kiyotsugu's dazed form. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Yeah! Why didn't you say anything, Rikuo?! I thought we were friends!" Immediately, everyone started yelling the same question at him.

Why hadn't he told them? Weren't they important to him? Were they not friends? What reason did he have to hide such a huge part of himself from them?!

Yuki-Onna shoved the door open as the humans continued to yell. "Everyone shut up! You haven't let Rikuo-sama speak! Don't you all know how important you are to him?! Let him explain!"

The Kiyo Patrol members quieted and hung their heads in shame. Rikuo was still their friend, wasn't he? No need to be unreasonable, even if their questions were valid.

Yuki-Onna huffed and sat down next to Rikuo, placing a comforting hand on his arm. Rikuo smiled gently at her, thankful for her constant support.

"I did not think it would be a good idea to reveal my identity to you. It would not be the best way to keep all of my family safe," Rikuo looked away as he spoke, almost as if he couldn't face his human friends.

"Rikuo-sama," Yuki-Onna trailed off as she looked at Rikuo pointedly.

Rikuo sighed and kept his face turned away from his friends. "And I was afraid I would lose you guys if I told you. I was afraid you guys would be disappointed with me and I was afraid you wouldn't accept me."

A collective "Oh," was heard coming from his human friends. Kana decided to speak for all of them, "You're ridiculous, Rikuo! Of course, we would accept you! You're our friend!"

Rikuo looked at them hesitantly. "Really?" His voice was soft as he spoke; now he was the disbelieving one.

Yura smiled at him, "There shouldn't have been any doubt in your mind. There's no way you would lose us! Even if you're part yokai, you are still important to us and an amazing friend, Rikuo." The rest of the Patrol nodded their agreement.

Rikuo smiled at them. He was happy, so very happy. "Thank you."

Nurarihyon smirked at his grandson, speaking for the first time since Rikuo had arrived home. "Looks like you didn't need me after all, eh, Rikuo."

It's not my absolute best, it's short, and it's late... I'm so sorry! Anyways, hope you liked it!

I'm sorry once again for its length and my lateness!

Feel free to leave suggestions for ways to improve this and any suggestions for cute RikuoxTusrara/Yuki-Onna moments! (No really, I need help...)

If I get enough suggestions, I might make a separate one-shot book for RikuoxTsurara or whatever else you guys want.

Writer's block and school going on, so be aware that it will probably take awhile to get anything else out, but I will try my best!
