Author's Note: I know there are theories that make my story not possible, but ignore them all! Oh there might be spoilers later on in the story that refers back to the manga but not this chapter!

Sorry if my story writing style is confusing or boring, I'm really rusty on writing, but I found it fun to write on this subject. I know if I wanted to experiment my writing I would have started with a one-shot, but NO I'm starting with a series! : D

It might also be boring, because I have very slow beginnings.

Ignore all grammar errors I was too lazy to wait for my friend to edit it LOL Enough of my rambling ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I don't own Nurarihyon No Mago I'm just a fan of the anime/manga.

"Rioooo! Wake up sleepy head!" His mother tugged at his blanket.

"5 More minutes…" Rio groaned his shaggy light brown hair a mess and remained snuggled up.

"Oi Rio, I'm warning you! Open those bright blue eyes you got from me!" His mother put her hands on her hips and began to countdown. "5…4…3."

"Mom, I'll be ready for school later." Rio was still not moving at all.

"1. Alright no choice then!" She pushed his bed sheets to reveal his legs to the air. His mom took a deep breath and exhaled.

"AHHHHH, I'm up and awake for school, don't worry mom!" Rio screamed from the pain of having only his legs frozen. "Achoo!"

"Oh no, you have a cold from my ice!" Tsurara seemed worried but her tone was calm.

Rio put his right hand to his cheek, and pretended he was panicking, "Oh no…what a DARN shame…OH WELL NO SCHOOL FOR ME!" and he threw the sheets back on.

Tsurara let out a big sigh, "Rio…" and then took a deep breath.

"Never mind!" He jumped out from his sheets and ran to the washroom to prepare himself for school.

"Alright, I'm off to school!" Rio said as he waved at his mom. He opened the front door, of his house but stopped as his mom signalled for him to wait.

"Here you go, you woke up so late, you had no breakfast, so I made you some while you walk to school!" Tsurara handed Rio a piece of toast.

Rio took the bread, and could already feel the taste on his fingers, "Thanks." He put the bread in his mouth, tasted it and took it out. "For the cold toast…" Put the toast back in his mouth and ran for the front gate.

"Yo Rio, want me to bring you to school faster?" Aotabo called out for him.

"No no Rio how about I bring you instead, I look more human than that guy!" Kurotabo reminded him.

Rio simply nodded his head to both of them, putting a smile on both their faces as he continued walking past the gates.

"Hey! You two! Stop spoiling Rio, he needs to stop being lazy, and that won't help if you treat him like your master! Rio walk to school without any youkai!" Tsurara had decided put some discipline towards all 3 of them.

"What was that Yuki-Onna? Couldn't you see he needed us?" Aotabo tried to reason with her.

Tsurara shook her head. "He's completely different from Rikuo, when Rikuo his age."

"Rio's 12 years old, isn't that when it all started? The start of Rikuo being the master of all Youkai." Kurotabo closed his eyes and thought of all that had happened in the past.

"The only difference is that Rio hasn't transformed yet, and he's half youkai!" Aotabo began complaining."

"Doesn't matter at least Rikuo isn't old enough to retire! If we had to depend on a lazy kid like Rio, what a mess this Hyakki would be!" Tsurara assured them.

"Well the entire house thought a kid who didn't even appreciate his youkai blood would never be suited to earn the title, Master of All Spirits and look what happened." An old sounding voice bellowed out to them. Nurarihyon sat on the porch and just drank tea, staring at the sky.

Rio walked down the path while nibbling on his frozen toast. Ahhh it's so boring walking alone! The taste of bread isn't even helping me at all. He walked past a house. The smell of fried foods caught his attention. He stopped in his tracks and sniffed out the smell which he knew would taste better than his breakfast. But he knew he couldn't sneak into the house and steal some food. I wish I could sneak around like great gramps.

Two figures walked out of the house, "Yo Rio!" The masculine voice greeted him he had jet black hair where he had a strand of hair for his bangs.

"Oh Rio's here!" The more feminine voice noticed, she had a light brown spiky ponytail.

"Toru, Misaki! What were you two doing in that amazing smelling house!" Rio leaned his head forward anticipating an answer.

"Did you forget? I live there, the Ono household. But I guess you were too distracted by the smell to even remember where friends live. Misaki is here because she decided to wait for me inside my house." Toru Ono sighed as if Rio were hopeless.

"No…I one hundred percent did not forget, I was in fact, er…WAITING FOR YOU! That's it!" Rio stuttered out. "Let's walk to school just like I planned."

A middle age man walked in front of them and stopped, he was wearing sunglasses he grinned, and snapped his fingers. Four more men popped out of the bushes. "For you three, school is cancelled." His men grabbed them by one arm and the other hand was covering their mouths.

They were brought all the way to an abandoned building, where they got tied up in rope. The men left the scene and just left them tied up to a post. Hours had passed; they had seen all different shades of the sky changing. They tried struggling, but everything was useless and by the time they had lost hope, the sky was completely dark, it had hit night time.

"So this is how it ends? Tied up to a post with 3 friends." Toru moaned and put his head down. "We were just on our way to school. At least Misaki is asleep she won't die in pain.

Rio who was completely calm in this situation, was just questioning the situation. "How do we even get captured…OUTSIDE of Toru's house without anyone noticing?"

"Grrrr!"

"What was that?" Toru was on alert.

"Sounds like a dog to me." Rio answered him.

"It's the cops searching for us!" Toru cheered and tried his hardest to struggle out of the ropes.

The two boys stared into the darkness where they had heard the growl. A hairy dog like leg appeared in front of them and soon the entire figure emerged out of the darkness. A standing dog, the size of a bear stood in front of them.

"A werewolf?" Toru shrieked.

"Well it certainly is not the police." Rio nodded his head. "Do werewolves even belong in Japan; they should be in North America along with vampires."

The werewolf ran up to Toru and scratched him. Toru's head flew back and he hit his head on the post and was knocked out unconscious.

"The wolf pointed at Rio Nura, "You're next."

"What clan do you belong to?" Rio demanded an answer.

"Clan? I just live here, and you're on my territory, you can't move, free food." The wolf answered him.

Rio finally panicked. He did everything he could to escape the ropes, struggle, bite the ropes and just kicking his legs.

"You seem interesting, I'll see how you humans react to a situation like this." The wolf howled and then cut the rope. "Now if you run away, your life is spared but your two friends will be eaten, or will you fight, at a useless attempt to save them." The wolf howled.

Rio stared back at the path that would lead home and the split second he glanced at his friends, the wolf was holding Misaki's head and it opened his mouth and licked its sharp teeth. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

"Surely your choice can't be to fight back, so I'm getting ready."

The blood flows within me. "Do you even know who I am?" Rio threw a rock at the wolf but it was swiped away.

"Well it makes me curious why you aren't surprised at seeing youkai."

"I am the son of the Master of All Spirits. The blood of leadership flows within me, the blood of youkai, and descendant of the great Nurarihyon." Rio's hair grew all the way back. He looked like Rikuo as Nurarihyon but instead of white hair, he had light blue hair similar to his mother.

"You mean you are a master of that huge mansion? I get to taste the blood of royalty?" The wolf let go of Misaki's head and was prepared to attack Night Rio. "Hey boy, if your royalty, tell me your name."

"I am Rio Nura, Rio Nurarihyon." Rio responded and he took one step closer. "It's going to be the last name you remember, okay?"

"Heh, my name is-…"

Night Rio took a quick leap, he landed in a crouched position 1 metre away from the wolf. "Not important, what is you should remember, never touch a woman on Nura clan turf" he declared as he swung his sword at the wolf sliced him in half.

He walked up to his two unconscious friends, cut the rope that was binding them with his sword, and carried them on his back and started heading home with thoughts in his mind.

What am I right now? Why am I in a robe similar to my dad's youkai form? As well as long ass hair? Is this…my youkai form?

On the ground there was a sudden thump sound from beneath Rio.

Crap I dropped Toru out of excitement!

He picked up Toru and when he reached Toru's house he dropped Toru on the steps and knocked on the door, and ran away. He began carrying Misaki who was asleep the entire time.

"Eh?..." She mumbled quietly while rubbing her eyes. When she was done rubbing her eyes, she looked up to the figure holding her like a princess.

"Yo, you're awake." Night Rio smirked at her. I can't tell her it's me.

"I saved you and your two friends and dropped them off at their houses. You're last."

"You think you can hold me like some sort of princess for saving me? You think you get the honours of that? Let go of me!" Misaki demanded of him.

Rio scoffed and dropped her on the floor, where she collided with the floor.

"Hey be gentle!" She scolded him as she got up, wiping dirt from her hands.

"I let go as you said." He gave her a smile.

"Ugh! I can walk home myself now, good bye!" She told him as she started heading home.

Rio walked inside his home, while still in his transformation. The entire mansion was loud, partying, and generally having a good time. However as Rio passed through the house, the noise started to die out. There was murmuring in the crowds.

Karasu-Tengu flew up to Rio's face. "Rikuo-Sama why did you dye your hair?" he yelled.

"Rikuo wants to have the same hair colour as me of course!" Tsurara flattered herself.

"I'm not Rikuo."

"Huh?" Tsurara continuously blinked at him, clueless.

"Not Rikuo, so it's an imposter boldly claiming they are intruding!" Karasu-Tengu shot out. "Everyone he's over confident get him!"

Rio motioned his hand, "Halt! Karasu-Tengu you idiot." Rio face palmed himself and shook his head. He took his hand off his face and looked straight at the crowd of his youkai family. "I'm Rio."
