Ryu- Due to some "convincing" by my friend, I closed the poll, and since there was a tie, I will be doing two stories.

Hikari- Yeah. Two birds one sto-

Ryu- Anyway, on with the story. Note that this is an informative chapter with the basic information needed to understand how this will go. Any other information will be given later.

Sight

Yokai have existed, almost since the beginning of time. Even now, during the present time, yokai roam freely. Some are good, and some are bad, but the most important thing is if you can see them.

There are quite a lot of categories of how you see them. Some are rare due to lineage or level of difficulty, while some are common, due to what can be used.

Though there are a lot of different sight, not all are able to see yokai, so it is unknown whether a person can see yokai or not, but there are a couple famous families who are known to be able to see yokai.

One particular family is the Vongola family. This family used to be mainly made of exorcists only, but because of a certain person, that changed. Though the Vongola family is now mixed, the leader is always an exorcist.

You can tell who is the leader when the Will is used. Their eyes glow, and their spirit's strength shows.

There are also well known groups, one being Acrobaleno. It is said the members of this group sees the yokai with a special object, but it can only be used if their spirit is strong.

If one were very observant, they would figure out that sight usually requires strong spirits. So, even if a family that has never had a record of Sight, there is still a chance that one child could still be able to see yokai.

One notable family has a child with red hair and glasses. That child can see yokai, but with the aid of his glasses. Though it wouldn't matter if he didn't want to see yokai, he needs his glasses.

The reason behind that is because most yokai don't have physical bodies that can be seen, but they do have reflections. So using a mirror or looking through glass helps for one to see yokai.

There have been other objects made to help one see yokai, some of those objects increase a person's spirit strength, while others grant limited Sight. These onjects are useful to those who know of yokai, but cannot see them. Though the objects are helpful, some are dangerous.

Then theres the rare and highly dangerous Devil's Eye. Where not only can you see yokai, but can also use yokai abilities. It is unknown how to get the Devil's Eye, and those who know, usually die.

Sometimes there are unusual ways to see yokai. Take the family Chiavorone. This family has many records of using unusual ways to see yokai. The current leader needs his companions around in order to see yokai, which poses a problem because the person would rather let his friends take a break, which leads not seeing yokai. The Chiavorone is also an exorcist family.

While most groups and families have become modernized, there are still some who follow the old ways. Such as the Hibari family, a group of priestesses and priests. Nobody knows what Sight they have, but it is rumored that birds are the key.

Now, there are many Sight users, there are also many kinds of yokai, each assigned a different level.

The first level is D. These are the more harmless of yokai. They only cause minimal damage, that being causing aches, pains, or any other small hindrance to a normal person.

The next level is C. While a level higher than D, they aren't that dangerous. Level D's cause no harm to a person, but Level C's cause minor wounds. Such as colds, bumps, cuts, and bruises, but it does nothing too drastic.

Level B's, well, they aren't deadly, but they're close to it. Level B's cause harm in many ways. Either it be a broken bone, or great emotional pain, but they do not kill.

Level A is the second to last level. They are dangerous, that being because they can cause death. Only experienced exorcists are allowed to deal with them.

Level S is the final level and most dangerous. Though there are only a few of them, exorcists are warned to take caution. It is said that to become a level S, you must gather many souls and take them into you. All level S's are well known only by name, but there is one recent level S whose features have been seen, and a notable trait is his white hair.

As with Sight, contracts also require strong spirits. That being, the higher leveled yokai, the stronger you need your will to be, or else you might become insane.

Contracts outside well known groups and families are rare, but contracts in them are quite common. It is not unusual for a exorcist to come across a yokai and befriend them, though there are some cruel exorcists that forcefully form contracts.

Though, sometimes strong spirits aren't needed. For if the human has a strong bond with the yokai, then level and spirit doesn't matter, but this doesn't occur often for most humans, that can see yokai, are more likely to hate them than befriend them.

While the yokai world and human world is separated by the thin line of Sight, at some points during the year, certain locations are blessed, as some say, that allow for yokai to be seen without anything, not sight or any mirror. These locations, while scarce, allow yokai to be seen as if they were humans themselves.

These locations do have pros and cons. The good yokai take the chance to befriend humans, but the bad yokai take the chance to cause havoc, which is why exorcists are required to come.

"Now that you know, are you ready to walk into the world of yokai and humans?"

Ryu- Well, I hoped you liked this.

Hikari- What's up with the ending.

Ryu- You'll see.

Hikari- No fair.

Ryu- Anyway, since I gave hints at who was going to appear in this fiction, feel free to suggest what pairing(s) you would like.
