Chapter Text
Abe No Seimei. He was a result of an a man marrying a white fox. Seimei is the most famous onmyoji and was known for his genius.
He made sure yokai stayed in their lane and passed these abilities onto his descendants.
Unfortunately....

"Where is he?!"
"That damn oni has to be here somewhere!"
"There's civilians here! We can't be seen!"
It was storming today and the oni that was running for his life. His entire class was attacked by the Momotaro.
This fight was an ambush. Just when they thought it was a safe hideout. The oni sighed hiding behind a dumpster in hopes he wouldn't be found.
"Are you okay?"
The oni was shocked at the question and looked up to see glowing feline eyes looking at him.
He woke up a little while later to find himself on a futon. There was humming. The oni looked around realizing he was inside a room.
The humming grew louder and a woman with some medical supplies in her arms came in.
She looked like a teenager. Looks can be deceiving. Her green hair and yellow eyes were quite alluring. She was looking at him with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Oh, you're awake," she said. "You passed out the moment we made eye contact."
Her movements were quick and balanced as she approached the oni.
"Um, why did you help me?," he asked.
The girl replied," why not?"
The answer confused the oni teen. He hadn't expected some random civilian to just help him like that.
"How old are you, by the way?," the girl asked.
"Seventeen," the oni without hesitation like he wasn't taught "stranger danger".
The girl smiled and said," I'm nineteen."
Just two years older than him, huh?
"Hey, when you recover, do you want to have a one night stand with me?"
HUH?

"I was honestly surprised he even agreed to have sex. Your father was such a gentleman even if we only knew each other for a day! Hopefully-"
Momoji turned off the video his mother had left behind for him. His tail was swishing in frustration.
All videos of his late mother, though comforting, were just too silly to watch when someone else was there with him, but he had to make sure his laptop still worked.
"Get off me, brat," the yokai under his feet growled out.
"Maybe if you hadn't stolen my laptop, you wouldn't be in this mess. Honestly, what made you think pissing me off was a good idea? Is it because I'm still a minor?," Momoji asked.
The yokai replied," you onmyoji are a plague! Even worse, your family keeps fucking monsters keeping generations stronger for decades!"
Momoji said," we don't just fuck monsters! The Abe clan also have human spouses, but they must be cool with the idea of their own child doing it with a supernatural creature."
With that, Momoji kicked the thieving yokai into the sky before walking out the alleyway.
Abe no Momoji was his name. However, it's spelled as Abeno to serve as a surname.
Many people don't know about the descendants of Abe no Seimei are still wandering around and beating up yokai that are causing trouble.
Still, the family loves to add monster blood into the mix.
Nowadays, they don't attack yokai unless they actually cause trouble for people. The family is still ridiculously rich due to one of his ancestors winning a favor from multiple deities.
Momoji put his laptop into a pouch and was walking back home when he spotted strange men in white clothes.
They smelled funny.
They smelled dangerous.
They smelled weak.
He tried to walk pass them without causing a scene. One of them grabbed his shoulder.
"Hey, how about we go somewhere a little more private, pretty boy," one of them said.
Momoji rolled his eyes. Turning to look at them he said," you like what you see?" He smiled seeing their pissed off faces.
-
"Come on, I thought you guys were stronger than this. Saying you were gonna tear me apart and all that! Honestly, you even tried aiming for my horn," Momoji said pointing at the one black horn sticking out of his forehead.
They were in an abandoned factory. One of the men in white looked up from the ground and asked," how can an dirty oni use the black bacteria?"
Momoji tilted his head. He had this black mist power for as long as he could remember. His mom and uncle have the same ability.
He could also manipulate his blood, but he often tries not to for fear of getting anemic.
"Oni? Like those horned monsters? It that where this horned came from? My father must be one then," Momoji said to himself in a soft tone.
He was starting to head out when one them shouted," we'll find you! You can't escape the Momotaro and think you'll get away! You're family will be slaughtered!"
Momoji stopped smiling.
/
"How are these guys still alive?," Mutsumi asked her boss.
The oni squad had sensed Momotaro nearby and found three of its members half-dead on the floor in an abandoned factory.
"Let's finish them off," the leader said.
Mutsumi nodded. The question on her mind was, who could've done this? "Let's interrogate the least injured one and find out who did this," she said.
Her leader nodded in agreement at the suggestion.

"Die!"
Momoji dodged the punches of Yukito and Shuuto while simultaneously jumping away Fuyumi's attempt to slide kick his feet.
These three are his younger cousins. Triplets at ten years of age. Children of his uncle Hanzo and Aunt Koyuki.
Hanzo is his mother's twin brother and, like her, he could control the black mist as well. He married a yuki-onna eleven years ago which resulted in these three trying to constantly fight him.
Someone chuckled at their antics. He looked and spotted an older woman with cat ears on her head walked over them.
"Grandmother!," they all shouted and ran to her.
Abe no Mimiko, Momoji's grandmother, was part bakeneko. How his great-grandfather managed to even get a cat demon's attention, he'll never know.
Unlike the rest of his family, Momoji had the most cat features. Genetics are weird like that.
He doesn't know his grandfather because like himself, his mother and uncle are results of a one night stand.
"Good morning children," Mimiko said. "Did you four do your morning prayers to our ancestors?"
All of them nodded.
Mimiko looked at Momoji. "Did you get into a fight?," she asked.
"I beat up some thugs this morning. It's no big deal," Momoji said.
"Did you win?"
"Obviously!"
Mimiko chuckled. "The shikigami have finished making breakfast," she said and motioned the children to follow her.
Hanzo and Koyuki were already at the dining table being served by their shikigami servants.
Salmon soup, rice, and natto. Ugh.
"Momoji, make sure to eat your natto," Koyuki said. "I'm sure that morning walk enlarged your appetite."
Momoji replied," yes, aunt Koyuki."
The natto was mixed with egg and some herbs which made it more tolerable. He ate it quickly to get it over with.
The salmon soup helped washout the nasty natto flavor. How can his cousins tolerate it?!
Never mind, he's sixteen! How can he still be picky about it?!
His strength means nothing compared to what his tongue can taste.

"So this is the place? Didn't think any oni family could be this rich," Ryoko said looking at the gated traditional house.
Mutsumi couldn't believe it either. However, this was the only lead they had on the purple haired, yellow eyed teen.
Only she and her friend Ryoko were sent to seem less suspicious. Ryoko's blood ability "blabber mouth" could make anyone talk non stop once skin contact is made.
The Momotaro with the least injuries told them of an oni teen who could use the black bacteria.
An ability like that sounded terrifying. However, it could be extremely useful. Mutsumi pressed the doorbell. It opened slightly.
A man with green hair and yellow cat-like eyes poked his head out. Mutsumi could immediately sense this guy was a Momotaro.
She and Ryoko jumped back and went into fighting stances.
"Cool it, ladies," the man said. "You aren't completely human so I believe you're here for business unless, of course, you want to fight," the man said coming out fully from behind the gate.
Mutsumi frowned. The last thing they needed was to fight.
"I think they're here for me, uncle."
Both girls jumped in surprise. From behind them, a teenager with purple hair and yellow cat-like eyes was suddenly behind them.
-
"So let me get this straight, the Momotaro story was super real and the Momotaro and Oni are busy killing each other, you want me join this school, and the black mist I can do is actually bacteria?," the oni boy, Momoji, asked.
Mutsumi replied," yes."
They were in a guest area within the house. Strange maids served them tea and snacks.
"Why do the Momotaro want to kill us?," Momoji asked.
Mutsumi said," racism."
"How did you not know about this till now?," Ryoko asked giving Mutsumi some side eye.
Momoji replied," one night stand baby."
The oni looked at the uncle. "Same," the uncle said.
Ryoko asked," do you at least know who your father is?"
Momoji shook his head. "Nah, but I'll join the school if you want. I'm on break anyway and a transfer should be a bit easy."
Momoji's uncle immediately shouted," Momoji, you just found out about this secret war going on! You should at least think about this before agreeing!"
"I did think about it. I want to go," Momoji said.
The uncle looked ready to argue when an old woman came into view.
"Momoji, if this is your decision then, go ahead," the old woman said.
"Mother! He's the last thing we have of Hana, we can't just-"
The old woman gave the uncle a stern look. "Momoji is almost an adult. He's old enough to know what he's signing up for," she said.
Momoji smiled at the old woman.
Mutsumi felt a little jealous seeing this loving family.
/
That afternoon, Mimiko watched as Momoji walked away with the women with nothing but the things he packed.
Hanzo was completely upset about this and she couldn't blame him. However, deep down, she knew Momoji wouldn't reach his full potential being stuck here.
These Momotaro people sound like freaking fanatics who can't comprehend the idea of nonhuman creatures deserving the right to live.
Some onmyoji are like that too.
Also, she knew Momoji wouldn't just let it slide that some organization tolerated the slaughter of children.

Naito Mudano clicked his tongue in annoyance when a new student came. This kid was supposedly very dangerous.
According to what he's been told, the brat can use both blood abilities and Momotaro abilities.
The higher ups told him to keep an eye on this kid to make sure he wasn't going to betray them.
"So, you're Momoji Abeno?," Naito asked the minute the two met.
Momoji said," yeah. Are you my teacher?"
"Depends if you pass the interview."
