Summary Inspired by Peach Boy Alia and Ouji hunt Onis
Kagome was exhausted AFter a long day of grueling manual labor in he Sengoku Jidal, children had finally fallen asleep, but not before she told the Peach Boy story to them
Satisfied that the children were asleep she drifted off to dream land. Around midnight /Alia awoke with a brilliant idea floating through her head. She and Ouji would hunt Onis just like the Peach Boy had.
For tonight's adventure she would need a rope and her chrysknife. Once she was prepared she roused her brother who complained about being awakened from his dream about the Peach Boy
Once he learned that they would be hunting Oni just like the Peach Boy he was eager to get on with the hunt. Alia looked at him they had worked well as a team fighting the Rabbit on the Moon He was the brawn she was the brains so long as he followed her directions they would be fine
Alia laid out the plan to Ouji They would wander through the forest looking like two lost human children Th e bait would be too much for the Oni When it came they would spring their trap.
Sure enough as soon as they reached Gosihinbouku a very large Oni lumbered out of the forect toward Ouji transformed into his inu form after Alia attached the rope to the the Oni approached to kill the children, they suddenly flew into the air.
Round and Round the Oni they flew weaving the rope around him in their wake. The Oni bellowed and swung wildly The pair were too skilled to be hit by his club. Soon rope constricted the Oni and he fell over.
The pair landed on his chest and Ais pulled out her knife She had never used the knife on a living creature in this llfe time. How would a chrysknife affect an oni?
The oni swore at them Demanding that they let him go. If they did he promised he would swallow them whole. To him that seemed merciful He would prefer to grind their bones ti make his bread
Alia laughed and plunged the knife into his chest The oni howled pain. The more he howled the more Alia became fascinated by the knife and the pain it caused.
Ouji was bored. " Just kill him already."
Alia wanted to ignore him , but she could not The Oni's howl became so loud and so pitiful that it attracted the attention of the villagers Kagome awoke with a start and headed panick- stricken toward the Forest when she discovered the children were missing
Alia ctell that Mama was on her way. and she was angry. They needed to get rid of the Oni What to do?Suddenly Ouji had an idea He had teleported, but never teleported an needed to send the Oni to a place where no one find it . Somewhere between the Earth and the Moon would be about right
Kagome arrived to find the children sitting on the ground. Alia seemed very pleased with herself. Although she told Ouji to keep quiet, she could not blame him for proudly proclaiming that he had killed an Oni just like the Peach Boy Kagome sighed. There were days when raising kami left her at the end of her rope, but at least she was than kful that the children were in better shape than the oni wherever it was
