Tsukimichi Novels & Stories

“What’s its name?” “Aki,” I said. “He’s a Havanese. He found Toby first.” The woman got down to her knees and reached out to stroke Aki’s head. “Thank you for finding Toby.” Aki stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail. He looked damn pleased. When she stood again, she said, “I’m Sakura. What’s your name?” Sakura? As in the Japanese Sakura? As in cherry blossom Sakura? I must admit the name fit her perfectly.

I didn’t see it at first, but Alina kneels and holds up a Katana to her and Cass smiles at her and thanks her before taking the Katana and unsheathes it. “That is her blade. My mom gave it to her as a gift. Cass loves that blade. She even sleeps with it.” Tati tells us and we all watch as Cass bows to Tadashi and walks back a few paces and gets into her stance. Her legs are apart as she lowers her stance. Both hands grip the handle as she holds the Katana up by the side of her head. Her eyes are closed and I know she is calming her mind. “The rules are simple. Tesoro you must knock Tadashi on his ass three times using your skill. The only weapon to be used is your blade. Tadashi no cheating.

"One soup three dishes?" The chef nodded, then used his hands to point. "Miso Soup, grilled fish, Tagamo-yaki, also known as omelet, Nimono and Tsukemono, you call them vegetables. Then, last but not the least, a pot of high-grade sencha green tea." "I call this brilliance," Caine said, rubbing his plans together. "What's your name, chef?" I asked. "Chef Toba," he answered with a hand to his chest and a bow.

I said to myself. Alpha Ryu stood before the pack in his red and black royal robe and a stringent smile that I had never seen before. I doubt the pack members have seen it too, as they also couldn’t believe it, washing their faces several times with water just to confirm. “I would like to thank my personal maid, as she was the one who washed these dishes. She has quite the guts to wash five hundred thousand, five hundred and fifty-four plates with not a single stain on them. She’s pretty much more excited about it than the rest of us”. He chuckled. “Show me what you’ve got, Samantha.”

She scrolls through while reading their names. “Bitan… Furuōgi… Rokurokubi… no wait maybe it’s in the other folder.” She says and switches to the other folder to search for it. “Here it is!” she says while comparing the photo of a Tako nyūdō to the tentacle monster that they had encountered. [Author’s Note: Tako nyūdō is an octopus like yokai which is quite similar to the one they encountered… The octopus is a direct translation for Tako. I don’t know what the other thing means to be honest.]

He looked like he'd been stung by an entire hives-worth of bees, and was still waiting for the swelling to go down. And then there was Aaron. He was the same height as Big Jim but looked like a rake beside him, which was crazy. Aaron was broad shouldered, almost three times me across and well defined, though you could never tell just how much until he had his shirt off. His hawk tattoo glistened with the trails of sweat running down his tanned chest, its inked talons raking his shuddering stomach as a feathered wing arched itself over his right shoulder.

She taught him a high-five and got to cooking, while randomly chatting with Anna. "It smells good," Jochelo commented as Eleanor set down a plate beside him and handed off a plate to Anna. She winked at him and said, "Try it." "What is this long thing?" He asked, pointing at the bacon on his plate. "It's called bacon, Tesoro." "Bay-keen?" She chuckled. "You'll get it. Eat." She watched him pick up a strip and chew. Once his face brightened, her smile emerged. "This is great!"

I gasped at the pancakes and scrambled eggs with little burnt sausage in the plates and my stomach growled in appreciation. "This looks delicious" I exclaimed and grabbed a fork. "Yeah, Micah is a wonderful cook. Although he hardly gets into the kitchen so you are getting special treatment little sis" Tony said with a smile standing beside Micah. They all surround me staring at me with so much love I could drown in it. "Thanks Micah," I smiled. "Anything for you honey. How are you doing?" "Well I'm fine" I replied, taking a bite of a pancake and moaning loudly.

"Yamamoto Kusakara, he's Yamamoto Kusakara!" Lei Tianrui and the others jittered. They had done enough research to know more about their enemy. Yamamoto Kusakara was one of them. He was not on the top list of the powerhouses in Japan, but he had already reached the third level of Covert Power.
