Fate, it's a strange thing. it shows what's supposed to happen to you, but it changes at any moment weather you expect it or not, and on that hot, summer day, my fate changed… forever."

Chapter 1: yokai are real. The spooky intersection

"Come on, and… Gotcha!" Aqua yelled. He was a 14 year-old boy with brown hair and eyes, he always wore a blue sweatshirt with a white diamond on it, even in the hot, summer weather. Right now, he was with three of his close friends, Al, Nicky, and, Yuki. "I caught it, Behold the illusive, stag-tooth beetle!" he said holding out his catch.

"Illusive must mean puny!" Al said holding out a larger one. Al was also 14 but, he had brown-black hair, and was chubbier and had a few inches on Aqua. he wore an orange and blue sports jacket with a black and white shirt and jean shorts.

"That's a saw-tooth stag beetle, according to bug wiki, Al caught an insanely, large one," said Nicky. Nicky was a hispanic, 14 year-old, who was shorter than aqua, had dark brown hair and wore, a green jean-jacket, a blue shirt, white pants and glasses.

"Since when is there a bug wiki?" aqua asked.

"Hey guys!" a female voice yelled from behind them.

"Oh, hey Yuki!" aqua yelled back.

Yuki was another one of aqua's good friends. She was also 14, had similar brown hair and blue eyes, she typically wore a white sweatshirt with pink lining and a little blue heart, along with shorts and her pink rimmed glasses.

"What are you doing here?" Al asked her.

"Oh you think bugs are only for boys," Yuki replied, "did you catch anything?"

"Just a stag beetle," aqua said showing it off.

"Aww, it's just like you Aqua," Yuki said while Al and Nicky were signaling her to shut up, "it's just so… Average."

"Words cannot describe what you have done," Nicky said under his breath. He was right, because that one word snapped aqua's temper.

"Average, is that a freaking challenge!?" Aqua yelled, "you know what, I'll just go find something rare and unusual, then we'll see who's average!"

He stormed off into the woods, "I just need to go deeper into the woods!"

He jumped over a wall signaling him to turn around. He walked on, when a glowing rhino stag beetle flew in front of him, "That's it!" He chased after the bug, which eventually lead him to a clearing. At the edge of the clearing, was a strange, red capsule machine.

"What's that thing?" aqua asked.

Just then a strange voice started chanting something, "Feed me, feed me."

"What?" aqua said, the voice continued steadily getting louder, "feed me, feed me. feed me, feed me. Feed Me, Feed Me! Feed Me, Feed Me! I'm So Hungry I Need To Eat!"

"Okay fine!" aqua said taking out a quarter. He went over to the machine, placed the quarter in the slot, and cranked the machine. A dile on top spun around before landing on a white space. A gray ball fell out of the machine.

"Let's see what lame prize I got," aqua said opening the ball. When it opened, tons of light blue ruins came bursting out. "Summoning… Slippery!" in the middle of the ruins something was taking form. When the ruins faded, it revealed a white, ice cream like creature with a purple lip, and black mask like mark between its eyes.

"What's up, my caporael friend? I am Whisper, at your service!" the creature said.

Whisper: C rank

Slippery

"What are you?" aqua screamed.

"I'm a yokai, that thing you humans call a ghost, spirit, or extra dimensional being, and you freed me from the dreaded dream roulette, 190 years ago a priest locked me up in there fearing i was an evil spirit, who knew priest had a sense of humor," whisper said.

"They had roulettes back then? Wait does this mean I get three wishes?" aqua asked.

"I'm not a genie, I'm a butler and since you freed me, I am obliged to offer my services. I'll be able to help you with any problem, yokai or otherwise. I am going to make you very popular!" whisper explained.

"Uh, o...k," Aqua said.

Later that day Aqua was walking home with his new "butler."

"I go into the woods to find a rare bug, and now I've got this weido following me," Aqua said, "and by the way, where do you plan on staying, cause my parents won't let me have a pet?"

"I'm not a pet, I am a very powerful spirit! Do your parents have a rule against that?" Whisper shot back.

"Well, no, but who would?" Aqua replied.

"Exactly, besides i'm invisible to everyone but you," Whisper said.

When they got home, Aqua opened the door, took off his red boots and walked into the next room where his parents were in one heck of an argument.

"Oh-no, they're at it again," Aqua said.

"Your parents fight a lot i take it?" Whisper asked him.

"Bout once a week," he replied.

"Probably because of her," whisper said pointing behind them.

"Who?" aqua asked his butler. Whisper thought to himself, then said, "Oh right, you can't see her," the ghost the put his hand behind him and pulled out a small, blue wrist watch, "not without this!"

"What is it," the boy asked.

"This is the Yokai Watch Model Unit 1, or yokai watch U1 for short. This is a special device that allows humans to see the invisible being all around you, it also doubles as an MP3 player," whisper said puting the watch on Aqua's wrist. "Just press the button and shine it over on your parents."

Aqua did as whisper said and the light revealed a large, slimy, blob-like creature.

"What is that thing, it looks like a Muk!" aqua asked.

"What's a mu-, Oh nevermind, she is Dismerelda," Whisper replied.

Dismerelda: D rank

Eerie

"She is a yokai that causes everyone around her to be completely negative. Most fights usually happen because she is in the area, worst case scenario, your parents never stop fighting," whisper explained.

"How do we get rid of her?" aqua asked whisper.

"Negotiation or confrontation," the butler replied.

"Well then go talk to her," aqua told his butler.

"Of course, just sit back and relax as I handle this dilemma quickly and gracefully," whisper then floated over to Dismerelda, cleared his throat and said, "Hey you, no one wants you here, so can you get your big, slimy butt out of this house?"

"That was mean!" Aqua yelled.

"Yeah tell me about it," his mother said having no regard to what her son was talking about.

Whisper floated back to aqua, "Well that could have gone better," to which Aqua replied, "No kidding! Ugh, bring her over, it's my turn."

Dismerelda was hesitant to follow whisper but obliged. When she came into the room she said in a deep, depressing voice, "What to you want now? I already super depressed, no filter."

"Is that why you're causing this, because you're sad?" aqua asked.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Why are you so sad?" aqua asked again.

"Me and my husband got into a fight, I was so mad I stormed off and somehow ended up here," the yokai answered.

"Well why don't you two make up?" aqua asked her a last time.

"Even if i could find the courage, I don't know where he is anymore, no filter," she replied.

"Look who I found!" whisper said coming back into the room being followed by what looked like a huge cloud of yellow smoke.

"Dis, Oh Dis, Baby, I am so sorry we had to fight!" the cloud said in a french accent.

"That's Dismerelda's husband?" aqua turned to whisper.

"Correct, that is Happire," whisper answered.

Happire: c rank

Heartful

"Dismerelda is married to Happire who makes everything around him all sunshine and rainbows, the two cancel eachother out and create normal circumstances," whisper finished.

After that, Aqua's parents stopped fighting, and the rest of the day went on as normal.

"Geez, undead butler and helping ghost with marriage problems, what a day," aqua said.

"Well you better get used to it," said Whisper in a creepy voice.

"What are you talking about?" Aqua asked.

"I talking about how now that you've put on the yokai watch, it is impossible to remove, which means, from here on in Yokai will always be in your life, whether you like it or not," whisper answered.

"What have I gotten myself into?" Aqua asked himself at whisper's creepy remark.

The next day, aqua and his new butler whisper were walking to an intersection with a bizarre history to say the least.

"Hey whisper," Aqua said, "you no there's been a ton of weird accidents lately."

"Weird accidents?"

"Yeah, someone walks into traffic,"

"Walks into traffic,"

"A truck stops just in time, almost hitting them,"

"Almost hitting them,"

"Leaving the driver super pissed,"

"Super pi-"

"Please stop doing that," aqua said to whisper.

"Well nevertheless, this must be the work of a yokai," whisper replied, "Aqua, we might have a chase of inspiritment on our hands."

"you mean when a yokai is causing something weird to happen because they're stuck in one area?" aqua said.

"How did you know?" whisper demanded.

Aqua scoffed, "I study the yokai wiki in your sleep last night, I'm up to speed on all of yokais' bizarre habits, tribe advantages and disadvantages, and the yokonemie."

Whisper said, "well, you can't possibly know every single yokai, so I'll handle that information so you don't need to remember."

"What ev's," aqua replied shining his light toward the street. Eventually it landed on the outline of some kind of cat.

"There it is! It's absolutely terrifying!" whisper exclaimed.

The yokai let a out a growl before the light faded revealing it's blue and white fur, twin tales both with a flame, and it's silk vampire cape. It then said, "Dracunyan!"

Dracunyan: B rank

Shady

"Uh, remember when I said it was terrifying, I take it back," whisper said.

The now proclaimed 'Dracunyan' saw someone passed by it. It then jumped up and flew into him. This shocked both Aqua and Whisper, "he's been possessed!"

The possessed man then walked right into the street just as a 16 wheeler was coming up. dracunyan jumped out of the body, did a flip, and yelled out, "Take this you stupid truck! Big Blood Sucker!"

The cat jumped into and bit the truck, the truck rammed him into the air, while the person was left to deal with the very, angry driver.

The cat landed in front of them, it got up started walking away then he turned around and said, "meow?"

To which whisper replied, "meow to you."

"meow?"

"meow to you."

"Wait can you guys see me?!" Dracunyan said, "do you knyaow little Annie? Nyo, I'm Nyot ready yet!"

"Dude, I have no idea what you are talking about," aqua said.

"Well you see, back when I was alive I had an owner named Annie..." Dracunyan began.

"Annie and I did everything together back then, she gave me a nyame which totally fit my fangtastic, purrsonality…"

"Which was?"

"I forgot!"

"how do you forget your own name?!"

"that's enough, whisper. Continue."

"we slept in bed, on the couch, under the table, oh I was so happy back then!"

"OK, this is officially the most boring back story, I have ever heard."

"Hey, I'm just saying what I remember! It's nyot like I can remember single detail. most of my life Is a blur and I'm just telling you about the things I remember the clearest! But of course, I have to factor in my life's story is to boring for the kid and pedafile I just, freaking met!"

"WE GET IT!"

"Sorry, nyow where was I?"

"The part where you died."

"oh, it happened on a Halloween, I was minding my own business, when I got rammed by a 16 wheeler!"

"Alright, hold up, hold up! First of all, if that's how you died, then how the hell are you a vampire?!"

"I don't knyaow it was Halloween, and I think a bat was involved somehow, I got nyo idea."

"Okay and second off, how the hell do you get ran over and only wind up with some scratches and a snipped ear?! You see realistically, this is how you would look!"

"Oh God's! Bbllarrrgghhhhhh, oh gods, I just puked ectoplasm all over the sidewalk, I hope nobody slips on it."

"can I please get back to my back story? Good, because this is the most tragic part. After I died, Annie came over to me and said, 'I can't believe you got hit by that truck… Loser.'"

The flash back ended leaving Aqua and Whisper jaw dropped.

"Oh what a monster!" whisper yelled.

"Nyo she isn't, I knyaow if I hadn't of been hit by that truck she nyever would have said that. That's why everyday, I train to be able to literally eat trucks for breakfast!" Dracunyan said crying.

"Well, the cat's determined, all give him that. But dracunyan, you can't just possess people you could get them hurt or worse," aqua said.

"Huh, nyever thought of that, OK I'll just take it on all by myself!" dracunyan said running into the road.

"start play'en Ebb & Flow now, cause this pearl levels of crazy," Aqua sighed.

"you know between your pop culture references, sarcastic attitude, you having no romantic feelings toward our version of Katie, and you're the only one in this fanfic who swears, I'm starting to question if you should be nate," whisper said.

"it's called an au for a reason," Aqua replied, "on top of that you can hardly tell us apart, once you're past fashion choices and attitude."

Dracunyan faced the next car in front of him, he jumped up, bared his fangs and bit into it. His tooth chipped and he was sent flying.

"ouch," Aqua said.

"car:1 cat:0," whisper added.

Dracunyan came back and ran into the street again, "eye of the Tiger!" this time the truck hit him from behind.

"There are a lot of trucks out today," Aqua said.

"What did say before the truck creamed him?" whisper asked.

"Eye of the Tiger," dracunyan said limping back, "it's a well knyaown phrase in the nyear-miss industry."

"that's not a thing," Aqua replied, "Look dracunyan, we all know and you refuse to admit it, but you aren't strong enough to take on a something the size of a truck."

"What are you saying?" Dracunyan asked, tears forming.

"I saying start small and work your way up, it may take weeks, months or even years! But you can't rush strength," Aqua answered.

"the way he fights it be at least 30 years before he reaches his goal," whisper said quietly.

"That's… great advice! Wait a minute, I have Idea! You can train me!" dracunyan said pointing to Aqua.

"what?" aqua and Whisper said at the same time.

"I'll be your personal muscle! Anytime you need me I'll be there to fight off any evil you may face, getting stronger along the way!" dracunyan said with a fire in his eye. He lit up a dark blue and a small, diamond blue coin appeared and drifted toward Aqua.

"A yokai medal?" aqua said.

"the symbol of friendship between a human and a yokai!" whisper said but immediately thought, "Wait, why don't we have one?."

"welcome to the team, Drac," Aqua said dubbing his new partner.

"Drac, I like that," Dracunyan said with a smile, "Drac."

It's recap Time!

Hey Aqua, Who'd we meet today?

Dismerelda, and Happiere.

Dracunyan, of the Shady tri- Aaah!

Sigh, Don't tried to fight trucks kids.

Me-oww.
