(A/N) So uh how long did it take for me to freaking update? A year -_- I am so sorry, here I'll even get down on my knees and kiss your feet to show how apologetic I am. I was stuck in writers block and had no inspiration at all.. Today I started thinking about what to write next and hopefully this is the last chapter or not xD So please forgive me for such a long wait. Now hopefully I actually don't make any of them OOC or make any mistakes in both wording and grammar which I suck at since one I type way too fast and two I just skim and scan really quickly because I have other things to do called homework, homework, and more damn homework. I should feel so proud of myself for actually taking this time to reread and look for mistakes when I should be getting some damn sleep... -_- On to the story now!

Disclaimer: Even though I really wish I did, I do not own Nura Mago whatsoever. I only own the plot and Nase Kaito that I just made up in about like 5 minutes even though it took me about 1 hour to look up yokai, demons, obake, yurei and others.

"W-wait mother, you can't be serious you arranged a marriage for me?! Plus in a short amount of time, is that even possible!?"Tsurara sputtered, Mami and Manami lightly patting her back gently to keep her from choking on her food.

"I've been planning this for quite awhile already. I figured that now that you choose to move on and forget about Nura Rikuo it would be the best time for you to be meeting with your groom-to-be,"her mother explained a bit too relaxed for Tsurara's liking. The daughter didn't know what to think anymore, she didn't really want to look for a relationship... but then again if this helped her move on then she should accept it.

Before she could protest, Setsura cut her off, "Tsurara, this is for the best. I don't want to see you hurt by a Nura. Do you understand?"

A slightly reluctant glimmer simmered in the said girl's golden eyes as she obediently nodded an okay.

Smiling, her mother began, "His name is Nase Kaito, yondaime of the Nase clan. The Nase clan is a minority group so you probably only heard of them quite a few times, it's a clan from a water village back at Okinawa. Oh and Kaito-san is a mizuchi by the way."[1]

Tsurara listened in awe before responding, "Eh? He's a mizuchi? Sounds interesting, is he cute?"

Setsure smirked knowingly that this question would have come up one way or another, "Very."

The next day Tsurara found herself pacing back an forth in front of the front door, anxiety and nervousness racking at her. She had woken up extra early to freshen herself up to look decent for the boy she was to meet and soon enough marry. The yuki-onna wore her usual snow white kimono, her straight midnight blue hair brushed free of any tangles, and a simple pearly white cherry blossom bloom tucked behind her right ear, She didn't really want to go overboard with her appearance and just wanted something simple.

There was a knock on the door, just two simple raps and then silence. It had jolted the girl out of her uneasy stupor and she gulped before mentally checking herself. She cursed at herself when she noticed her hand, when she reached for the catch of the fusuma, trembling and shaky.

Waiting outside for her was a boy about a few years older and taller than her by a head. He was not only tall but had a lean and well built body. The boy had short messy indigo blue hair, scarlet eyes with dilated slits as pupils, and pale skin. He wore a white cardigan with a black shirt underneath and denim slacks.

The yuki-onna had to admit, he was quite cute and not what she expected of a mizuchi. She thought he would be just a dragon, this could be his human form though. Well technically she's never encountered one so she never really knew what they would look like.

He noticed her dumbfounded staring and smiled, "Are you perhaps Tsurara?" She nodded still in awe, she also had to admit that he had quite a suave and velvety voice.. just like Rikuo- No! She mentally smacked herself. She was supposed to be forgetting about him! His smiled widened as he bowed to her respectfully, "I am Nase Kaito, I apologize if I had intruded on a day that you are busy-"

"Ah, no! Today was completely fine... er here please do come inside!"she stammered as she moved out of the way to motion him inside the house. He merely smiled and entered the house, taking his shoes off and placing them at the entrance.

"Mother! Nase Kaito has arrived!"she called out to Setsura who was in the kitchen.

"Okay! Make sure to show him around, I'll make you both tea also!"was the response.

She smiled and motioned for her male companion to follow her until he tapped on her shoulder. She turned with a questioning tilt of her head. He grinned meekly before asking, "Um, do you happen to have a pond out back?" The yuki-onna smiled and nodded, "Yep, follow me!" She lead him to the backyard which was organized into an elaborate zen garden with an average pond that rested under a blooming cherry blossom tree.

Kaito grinned and took Tsurara's hand to lead her faster over to the pond. The girl blushed as her attention centered on the joining of her hand and his.

"I wanna show you something!"he said when they stopped at the edge of the pond. She tilted her head in interest as he opened his palm out and reached it towards the water surface. She watched in awe as thin funnels of water sprang up and curled around the bluenette's hand and arm before returning back to his palm to form a sphere of water which he raised to give Tsurara a better look. Curiously, she poked at the sphere and accidentally let out a giggle, "That's interesting." He smiled and started to move his arms and body in a way like he was practicing Tai chi and the water began to flow and move along with his movements, coiling around his arms. (A/N: Eheh, Avatar reference xD)

"Wow, that's pretty.."she said subconsciously which made the boy blush. He smiled and let the water return back to the pond.

"Th-thanks, I've never actually showed anyone accept my family. You're the first to compliment me that it was pretty... oh I think I forgot to mention that you look beautiful today,"he said with a slight stutter, his face reddening.

Meanwhile, Rikuo was riding on Hebi Nyoro (oh jee you want to know how long it took me to find the name of the servant that is used as transportation for Rikuo? 20 damn minutes xD) and searching for a lead on Tsurara. Now where was Mt. Ooyama, he had asked about where her mother's whereabouts to his gramps and even the Arawashi clan- the only answer being Mt. Ooyama.

Tsurara and Kaito sat on the wooden walkway enjoying the serenity of the garden and enjoying a cup of jasmine tea that Setsuna freshly made. Oh how tranquil and peaceful it was. Key word: was. It was until a certain Nura had jumped down and landed gracefully on his feet in the garden. (yah btw this is night Rikuo xD) Rikuo looked up, his crimson eyes narrowing at his yuki-onna and Kaito. "Tsurara."

"E-eh? Rikuo-sama!?"

The sandaime scoffed and motioned towards Kaito, "Who's that?" The yuki-onna smiled and said, "Rikuo-sama this is Nase Kaito, my husband-to-be!"

Did yokai have hearts? Well technically speaking, Rikuo was only 1/4 yokai so he did. And he definitely did feel his own heart cracking at the last part of her introduction between the two. He cleared his throat, malice shrouded his hurt tone as he spoke, "I've come to take you back."

"She's not going back with you,"Kaito growled as he finally stood from his seat, "She's going to be my wife and you can't do anything about it."

"See if I care serpent, I'll cut you done and take what's rightfully mine back,"Rikuo snarled as he unsheathed Nenekirimaru.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself,"the other sneered as he opened both of his palms and the water from the pond came in funnels hurdling towards him and coiled around his body. Tsurara and Rikuo watched as something emerged out of the water that was once curling around Kaito. That something was a water dragon, rough looking indigo blue skin that was similar to Kaito's hair; the eyes narrowed slits of scarlet red that were also similar to the Nase optics. You get the idea. That dragon was Kaito's yokai form. The dragon was armless with a long tail, the feathery skin sticking up and out like spikes, and water coiling around it's whole body.

"K-kaito?"she breathed out in bewilderment.

"Tch, so he shows his true form now,"Rikuo grunted as he lurched forward to attack the dragon. Kaito used his tail to lash at the him, which Rikuo managed to dodge and counter with a swing of his sword at the tail only for the blade to hit a barrier made out of water. Instantly, water transferred onto the blade, to the hilt, to his hand, and curled around his neck tightening greatly. The sandaime clutched at the water, struggling to tear it from his throat.

Tsurara pouted and chanted, "Noroi no Fubuki - Fūsei Kakurei." A strong blizzard freezes the water and Rikuo takes this chance to shatter the ice and continue with the battle. The yuki-onna grumbled as she lost her chance to stop her master from fighting Kaito. "W-wait Rikuo-sama, Kaito! Stop fighting! What will this solve?"she cried out as she stepped in between the two.

"Out of the way Tsurara, this is obviously so I can get you back,"Rikuo said whilst glaring at the dragon who bared it's pungent teeth at him in response and shot forward and past the yuki-onna. Kaito's razor sharp teeth latched onto the other's arm. Rikuo growled at the pain and jammed the hilt of his katana into one of his eyes. In result, the dragon let go and backed away shaking it's head from getting hit in the eye. Taking this advantage, he lunged forth jumping and getting ready decapitate the dragon when he suddenly heard Tsurara's voice.

"Wait! Please spare him!"

Rikuo stopped and landed, but his blade was still positioned at the neck pressing into the skin. "What is the meaning of this, Tsurara?"he demanded irritably.

"You don't have to end Kaito's life-"

"If I don't he'll only take you away, but like hell I'll let that happen."

The dragon's eyes narrowed, "It's best you're listening to Tsurara, Nura Rikuo. Seemingly saying that it was you who actually drove her to run away to her mother."

She shook her head and pouted, "It was not Rikuo-sama!"

"As much as I would love to keep fighting to have the right to have Tsurara, I am no match for Nura Rikuo... Do not hurt her,"Kaito said before he flew straight into the pond and disappeared.

"That bastard... speaking as if he knew everything about you and was like a father..."Rikuo cursed as he scowled at the pond. He turned to the yuki-onna who stared at him with little hopefulness.

"Why would you come all the way here for me? I'm just one yuki-onna and plus you have Ienaga-san,"she whispered with a tremble.

He sighed and approached her, his arms slowly wrapping around her trembling body.

"...Because, there is no other woman that I'd rather be chasing after like a love struck human than you..."

[1] Mizuchi is a name for an aquatic Japanese dragon. Perceived to have been a water deity. I know that a mizuchi really wouldn't be classified as a yokai but I chose this at random xD In here I had Kaito able to switch from the form of a human to his true dragon... serpent... whatever form xD

(A/N) *rereads* wao... this is not my best(so horrible)...it's not too rushed is it? I'm sorry if you really thought that the fight was really weak, I'm not really good at writing out fight scenes as detailed as possible... unless it's going to be 'gore'. You know what, I think I made Tsurara OOC... how the hell do you make her OOC? or maybe that was her mother who was OOC... Wah! I'm a horrible writer... QAQ but anyways at least I finally updated this yay! But hopefully you did like it... or not... I know I suck... :( Hopefully over the past year I actually improved on at least something... or not :( but R&R :)
