    If they wanted you to participate they would have asked you to join. That's all there is to it. For them it's a question of honor, while you're only a guest. While you aren't someone who let rules stop him from doing what is right, the situation isn't so dire to warrant such a course of action. Acting rashly will only cause problems for Rikuo-kun.

    "Ah~! Ah~! Eiko saw so many youkai tonight." Your Yatagarasu sits down on the porch beside him, back in her purple kimono. "It's a true Hyakki Yagyō! Though, the sense of unity isn't strong: maybe it isn't true at all?"

    You sigh. "Don't say that. Rikuo-kun will-is responsible for guiding the Nura Clan. We must have faith in him."

    She snaps open her fan. "The young Nurarihyon possesses a special disposition, but it pales in confront to Master. Especially if he keeps suppressing his youkai's heritage."

    You blink on confusion. "What do you mean?"

    "This is something that Eiko was able to put together in the last days. The Young Head is three quarters human and one quarter youkai." Seriously? Does that mean...aah, that's it: Rikuo's father was also a Hanyou. "As such he prefers living as a human than as a youkai. But to guide youkai one must be a youkai too."

    That...that explain a lot: just like you need to be a Dragon to get respect, Rikuo needs to be a Youkai. But for some reason he prefers being human.

    You ruffle your hair. "That's so damn complicated. No wait, even if I understand what could I do? The best would be offering encouragements."

    Eiko pats your back. "Don't worry Master! When Master's turn will come Master will have Eiko to aid Master!"

    "Thanks Eiko...wait, what do you mean about my-"

    "This reminds Eiko." She takes out a scroll and unfold it. "Eiko's esteemed brothers and sisters from the tribe finally sent the result of the research about the Hachijūhakki Yakō of Shikou. Does Master wish to hear what was uncovered?"

    Your eyes light up. "Yes, yes of course. Please tell me."

    "Aehm." Eiko clears her throat and begins reading with great seriousness. "Shikoku was once the treasure of the youkai. To the Tanuki Youkai, especially, it was a paradise, for they far outnumbered the human population. About 300 years ago, the might of the Tanuki continued to grow...and before long, they have formed a group beneath the banner of [Osore] ([Fear]). They attempted to capture a castle of the humans. Lying in wait for them at Matsuyama Castle were ten thousand humans; facing them, the youkai army spearheaded by the Inugami Gyōbu, wielding divine powers beyond human understanding."

    Inugami Gyōbu. The same name Rikuo said. The same person? Or maybe a descendant?

    "The outcome was perfectly obvious. However, the tanuki youkai were utterly annihilated by a single sword held by the humans." Must have been one hell of a sword. "It's name, the [Maou's Hammer]. A sword with the power to destroy youkai." Wait what?

    "[Maou's Hammer]?" You repeat in bewilderment. "Does it has something to do with the Maou of the Devils?"

    "No Master." Eiko shakes her head. "The original term used by the Devils is [Demon King], which translated to Japanese is [Maou]. However, the most ancient use of [Maou] in Japan refers to an ideal rank as the leader of all youkai. However, there has never been someone who was capable of uniting all living youkai under only one banner."

    "I see. So why it was called [Maou's Hammer]."

    "The origin of the sword and its name are unknown. The Battle of Matsuyama Castle was the first recorded instance of its appearance and use. However, it is known what it does." She continues reading. "The sword has the power to absorb the lifeforce and feeling of those killed by it and turns it into power for the wielder to use. However, it is still a cursed weapon: it collect mainly hatred and resentment, poisoning the user's spirit and body with bloodlust and malice. Thus, the remaining soldiers were forced to kill the wielder because after the battle he turned on them."

    What a nasty thing.

    {But interesting.} Bright comments. {It sounds like something Ligier would have created.}

    'Ligier?'

    {Fetich Soul of the Demon City, the greatest Crafter among Demons. Even among the Twilight only a few-myself included of course-had equal or superior skills.}

    Even more terms you don't know.

    "Realizing its danger the soldiers gave the [Maou's Hammer] to monks who build a temple and sealed the sword inside. Honoring it as a sacred treasure, they hoped to weaken it curse." She looks up. "That's all!"

    "Okay." Your finger begin tapping on your chin, while your gaze is draw by the cherry blossom in the garden that always looks like it's weeping. "It doesn't told us much, beside clearing how the Tanuki where defeated."

    "Eiko asks for forgiveness." She bow her head. "This is what was written in the clan's archives. More recent news require different channels."

    Just then Rikuo's voice cut through the chill air of the night. "We need to be prepared for war at all times, just like I told you!!" Coming out of the room he begins giving orders left and right to the nearby youkai. "Oi! You too Aotabou, Kurotabou! Get on with it. And you Tsurara!"

    You watch the scene with a bit of bemusement until no one but you, Eiko and Rikuo is left. "Preparing for the final battle?"

    He blinks in surprise when he realizes your presence. "Ah, Issei-sempai, Eiko-san. No, just making sure we aren't caught unprepared." He sits down next to you. "We talked and talked, but in the end we concluded nothing. Currently the Nura Clan has not the necessary internal unity to present an united front."

    Your eyes narrow. "Why? I mean." You switch to a soothing tone. "Aren't they enraged at the attack, worried for their lives and the like?"

    "They are." He sighs wistfully. "But they expect me to take responsibility and, dare I say, resolve the issue while they stay safe." He lowers his head. "It's my fault: if only I was a better commander like Grandfather..."

    No.

    No that's just wrong.

    What do you say to Rikuo?
    [] Write-in.

    Basically, I expect you to come up with an inspiring speech. Kamina much?

    we should start by emphasizing that it's a lack of experience rather then lack of ability.

    It wouldn't help. IIRC we need to have an intimacy in common with the target.

    Anyway, what we need is to inspire Rikuo to be a better and more decisive leader to unite the clan under his banner. Therefore...

    [X] "Don't you think you're being hard on yourself? Your grandfather was one of the greatest leaders the Nura clan has ever had. Comparing yourself to him is like a hawk crying that he can't fly as high as the sun. Think about your strengths before you dismiss your worth."

    okay hows this (very rough draft)


    "If only your were better? it's not a question of ability, your grandfather has centuries of experience you don't have. Complaining about that is like a hawk crying that he can't fly as high as the sun. Work hard, do your best, listen to the advice of those you trust and experience will come on it's own time."

    "But before that, consider this question: How can one lead others if he are at war with himself? They don't follow because they can see that you are at war with our own nature, living as if your human side and your youkai side are foes. you reject and fear one side of yourself and can't accept that you are both Human and Youkai. Only when you have resolved this conflict will you be able to live up to your grandfather and your father's legacies and become the true Third Commander."

    ....
    "A better commander? Are these youkai or are these sheep!!" You stand and sweep your arms in a vast encompassing manner.
    "Their Territories, Their Origins, Their Very Lives are in danger here and yet they sit around squabbling about meaningless things such as leadership. If they can't understand that and strive for their right to exist then it's better that your grandfather isn't around to see how pathetic the Nura youkai have become."

    You give a pause to your rant as clapping is heard. Dreading the thought you turn around, not suprised to see Eiko is the one clapping. What does suprise you is the AV system she somehow hooked up in the span of 20 seconds.

    Sigh....

    "Eiko, why is there an AV system there?" You already know though...

    "Because Master Is always saying such motivating things, and I feel that everyone should be apart of the experience."

    ...

    "And who is everyone?"
    "Well...The entire Nura clan for starters."
    Ah...so that's where all the bloodlust is coming from
