[00:14] Yukari
    Aoi.
[00:17] Aoi
    What is it?
[00:18] Yukari
    Oh, nothing...
[00:19] Aoi
    Is Himari not home yet?
[00:22] Aoi
    She's late today.
[00:23] Yukari
    She did mention this morning
    that she would be going
[00:27] Yukari
    to Kagome Park after school
    to check on something with friends.
[00:31] Aoi
    Kagome Park...?
[00:34] Yukari
    Something the matter, Aoi?
[00:36] Aoi
    Nope.
[00:38] Yukari
    Aoi, about your slump... Well...
[00:44] Yukari
    I'd thought it was related to your guilt
     over hurting Himari's feelings.
[00:49] Yukari
    And perhaps that indeed is a part of it.
[00:52] Yukari
    But I can't help thinking there's
    something else on your mind.
[01:00] Yukari
    Aoi.
[01:02] Yukari
    Is there something
    you're afraid of happening?
[01:10] Aoi
    You mustn't look at me.
SIGN    You mustn't look at me.
SIGN    Episode 9 A Raven-Black Storm
[02:53] (Flashback) Yukari
    Aoi. Is there something
    you're afraid of happening?
[03:03] Aoi
    Himari...
[03:16] Himari
    So this is Kagome Park...
[03:19] Himari
    I-It is kind of creepy here.
    Doesn't feel much like a park.
[03:25] Iizuka
    None of the kids come here to play.
[03:28] Hidaka
    They used to, though.
[03:31] Hidaka
    All the talk of ghosts scared people away.
[03:35] Madarame
    Welp, we've figured out there's
    no ghost or creep here.
[03:38] Madarame
    Let's go home already.
    It's starting to get dark—
[03:46] Senoo
    Kagome, Kagome...
[03:54] Senoo
    One, two, three, four...
[04:01] Senoo
    Four is an unlucky number.
[04:03] Senoo
    It brings death.
[04:07] Senoo
    Should I eliminate one of you?
[04:15] Senoo
    Who's that behind you...?
[04:28] Hidaka/Iizuka
    Senoo?!
[04:28] Himari
    Senoo-kun?!
[04:31] Madarame
    Honestly, did you think I wouldn't
    notice in the fading light?
[04:35] Iizuka
    Gosh, don't scare us like that, Senoo-kun!
[04:39] Hidaka
    I was wondering where he went.
[04:44] Madarame
    Why pull a stunt like that?
[04:46] Senoo
    I thought I could start rumors
    if I dressed up like this...
[04:50] Madarame
    So you want to fake a horror
    story that's not even true?
[04:54] Senoo
    The ghost of Kagome Park is real!
[04:56] Madarame
    Shut up, you stupid occult geek!
[04:59] Madarame
    But... what gives? You aren't the
    type to trick people like this.
[05:07] Madarame
    You just caused trouble for everyone.
    Better apologize.
[05:11] Senoo
    I'm sorry.
[05:12] Hidaka
    Well, it was kinda fun as a spooky dare.
[05:16] Iizuka
    Senoo-kun, you look good in that cosplay.
[05:19] Himari
    That's a really old cape!
[05:21] Himari
    Where'd you find it?
[05:24] Senoo
    Huh? I can't seem to remember...
[05:30] Hidaka
    Senoo was acting weird today.
[05:33] Himari
    You think so too, Hidaka-kun?
[05:35] Hidaka
    Yeah...
[05:36] Himari
    I know he's obsessed with the occult, but
     trying to trick us like that is a bit much.
[05:41] Hidaka
    I do get where he's coming from, though.
[05:46] Hidaka
    Like I told you before.
[05:51] (Flashback) Hidaka
    I think I saw him once,
    back when I was a kid.
[05:55] (Flashback) Himari
    What? For real?
[05:56] (Flashback) Senoo
    You saw a ghost?
[05:59] (Flashback) Hidaka
    I don't think it was a ghost.
[06:02] (Flashback) Hidaka
    Sorry... I can't really remember.
    I don't know why.
[06:07] Hidaka
    Since I could see it,
    it couldn't have been a ghost.
[06:11] Hidaka
    But...
[06:12] Hidaka
    I can't remember much from back when
    the Kagome Park thing was the buzz.
[06:19] Hidaka
    All I can recall is that something really,
     really bad happened.
[06:25] Hidaka
    Man, this totally sucks.
[06:28] Himari
    What?
[06:29] Hidaka
    Forgetting things from your childhood.
[06:33] Hidaka
    It's like I'm losing myself as I grow up.
[06:37] Hidaka
    Maybe that's why Senoo wants
    to relive that story so bad.
[06:43] Himari
    No memory should be taken away by force.
[06:50] Himari
    Not from anyone.
[06:53] Himari
    See you tomorrow, Hidaka-kun.
[06:56] Hidaka
    It's dark out, so I'll walk you home.
[06:58] Himari
    I'm fine. I know my way back.
[07:01] Hidaka
    You sure?
[07:02] Hidaka
    I guess if I walked you home,
    I might not find my way back.
[07:08] Hidaka
    To tell you the truth, I went to pick
    you up one morning and got lost.
[07:14] Himari
    Y-You did?!
[07:15] Hidaka
    I'm usually pretty good
    finding my way around.
[07:20] Himari
    Be careful. It's not hard to get
    turned around near Momochi House.
[07:23] Himari
    See ya!
[07:28] Himari
    I'm glad Hidaka-kun didn't
    get lost for real.
[07:33] Himari
    A strange power surrounds Momochi House
    to keep normal people at bay.
[07:41] Senoo
    Kagome, Kagome...
[07:53] Himari
    Senoo-kun?
[07:55] Himari
    Come on, you can't trick me a second time.
[08:00] Himari
    Senoo-kun...?
[08:03] Senoo
    Seeing as this child was invited
    into Momochi House once,
[08:07] Senoo
    I thought I'd be able to enter.
[08:10] Himari
    Who are you?
[08:13] Senoo
    Who is that... behind you?!
[08:21] Aoi
    Himari!
[08:22] Himari
    Aoi!
[08:23] Yukari
    What is...
[08:25] Ise
    The hell is that?! An ayakashi?!
[08:27] Tamamo
    What's going on?!
[08:29] Lesser yokai
    Ow!
[08:31] Aoi
    Hold on!
[08:44] Nue
    Go, my shikigami. Be rid of it!
[08:47] Himari
    No! Don't attack!
[08:49] Nue
    Why are you...
[08:51] Himari
    That's Senoo-kun! Don't hurt him!
[08:54] Nue
    Do you wish to be strangled?
[08:56] Himari
    I don't want Aoi to hurt anyone!
[09:00] Nue
    Yukari. Ise.
[09:02] Yukari/Ise
    Yes, sir!
[09:11] Yukari
    Are you all right?
[09:13] Himari
    Yukari-san!
[09:17] Himari
    Senoo-kun...!
[09:23] Nue
    Expel it!
[09:26] Himari
    Senoo-kun!
[09:29] Nue
    Stay back.
[09:35] Himari
    The cape!
[09:44] Nue
    How annoying.
[09:46] Nue
    Impure being, go swiftly into—
[09:49] Nachi
    I wonder how much Aoi-kun has grown...
[09:59] Nachi
    Now, at long last...
[10:03] Nachi
    The path has been cleared!
[10:06] Ise
    Wh-What is this?
[10:11] Himari
    Black feathers?
[10:23] Tamamo
    Himari!
[10:24] Karakasa
    What was that?!
[10:27] Himari
    Calm down, guys.
[10:28] Tamamo
    But those black feathers!
[10:30] Karakasa
    This is really bad!
[10:32] Namazu
    I'm scared!
[10:34] Himari
    It's okay. Aoi and the others
    are checking things out.
[10:37] Karakasa
    This is bad! Real bad!
[10:44] Ise
    I'm back.
[10:47] Aoi
    Good job. Any updates?
[10:49] Ise
    I took the kid in glasses home
    and tossed him in his yard.
[10:55] Yukari
    And I've searched the entire house, but...
[10:58] Zushi
    Nothing fishy to report here!
[11:01] Taikomochi
    All the seals are intact as well!
[11:03] Daikon
    Yeah!
[11:04] Aoi
    I see. Thanks, everyone.
[11:07] Yukari
    That shadow and those black feathers...
[11:10] Yukari
    I felt an evil intent, but...
[11:13] Ise
    His presence is totally gone.
[11:16] Yukari
    It appeared as though
    he said something to you, Aoi.
[11:21] (Flashback) Nachi
    I wonder how much Aoi-kun has grown...
[11:26] Himari
    Aoi?
[11:28] Aoi
    I'm fine. It's nothing.
[11:31] Himari
    I can't believe Senoo-kun was possessed...
[11:35] Himari
    Was that shadow an ayakashi?
[11:37] Aoi
    Yeah.
[11:38] Yukari
    Your friend was likely spurred
    by the tsukumogami dwelling in that old cape.
[11:43] Himari
    Tsukumogami?
[11:44] Yukari
    A type of ayakashi created when an object
    gains a soul and spiritual powers over time.
[11:50] Himari
    But why would a tsukumogami
    possess Senoo-kun?
[11:54] Ise
    Well, our best guess is that it wants
    to get in the house to become stronger, but...
[12:00] Yukari
    For now, we'll have to wait and see.
[12:15] Aoi
    Oh? What are you doing in here?
[12:19] Yukari
    I thought if we had a tsukumogami here,
[12:21] Yukari
    we could ask if they'd encountered
     any suspicious ones before.
[12:25] Aoi
    An old kimono? Is that...
[12:28] Yukari
    Yes, it's what you wore
    when you were little.
[12:33] Aoi
    You kept it? Why? I can't wear it anymore.
[12:37] Yukari
    Why, you ask? My, I wonder.
[12:41] Yukari
    How are things elsewhere in the house?
[12:44] Aoi
    I've checked every seal
    at every end, but nothing.
[12:48] Aoi
    Ise said the same.
[12:51] Yukari
    Is that so?
[12:52] Aoi
    You seem rather worried.
[12:55] Yukari
    It's not necessarily
    that I sense anything amiss.
[13:00] Yukari
    But I can't shake an ominous feeling.
[13:03] Yukari
    Goodness. I'm starting
     to sound like I'm human, aren't I?
[13:12] Aoi
    Yukari...
[13:14] Aoi
    What does it feel like for a
    human to turn into an ayakashi?
[13:22] Yukari
    Well, I'm not certain if there
    was a definitive change, but...
[13:27] Yukari
    I remember feeling distant
    from everything at first.
[13:32] Aoi
    Distant?
[13:34] Yukari
    From feelings of sadness, any sense
     of suffering, and even love for others...
[13:44] Yukari
    How about you, Aoi?
[13:49] Yukari
    Ever since arriving at Momochi House,
[13:52] Yukari
    you've upheld your duties
     as the Omamori-sama.
[13:55] Yukari
    That's far too great a burden
    to carry in your mortal state.
[14:00] Yukari
    And while I've only been able
     to watch by your side,
[14:03] Yukari
    I do believe I understand the weight
    of your burden to some extent.
[14:10] Yukari
    If you were to become a full
    ayakashi someday as Nue-sama,
[14:15] Yukari
    I believe it would end your pain.
[14:18] Yukari
    I'm sure the eternal flow of time will wash
    away any mortal struggles of your past.
[14:24] Aoi
    Yeah. I think I'll become
    an ayakashi someday, too.
[14:30] Yukari
    And that's for the best.
    That is what I believed,
[14:35] Yukari
    provided forgetting your past
    freed you of your pain.
[14:41] Yukari
    But... is that truly what's best?
[14:46] Aoi
    Yukari? What are you...
[14:50] Yukari
    Aoi, are you sure you wish to give up
    your memories and human feelings?
[15:01] Yukari
    Or are you trying to give up something
    important to you for Momochi House?
[15:06] Yukari
    Are you truly at peace with letting that go?
[15:15] Aoi
    I'll become Nue one day.
[15:17] Aoi
    It was never a question for me.
[15:21] Aoi
    But...
[15:22] Himari
    Hey.
[15:25] Aoi
    Himari...
[15:27] Himari
    What are you doing out
    here so late at night, Aoi?
[15:31] Aoi
    I couldn't fall asleep
    with the wind blowing.
[15:34] Aoi
    What about you, Himari?
[15:36] Himari
    Oh, the lesser yokai were still spooked
     by the ruckus this afternoon,
[15:41] Himari
    so I was putting them to bed.
[15:46] Aoi
    Will you help put me to bed, too?
[15:50] Himari
    A-Aoi!
[15:55] Himari
    Aoi?
[15:58] Aoi
    I don't know anymore.
[16:01] Aoi
    I don't know what I'm supposed to do...
[16:06] Himari
    It's okay.
[16:09] Himari
    You're right here.
[16:11] Himari
    With me, and Yukari-san and Ise, too.
[16:13] Himari
    We're all right here with you.
[16:16] Himari
    So you're gonna be okay.
[16:18] Himari
    I promise everything's fine.
[16:26] Himari
    Hey, what are you laughing for?
[16:28] Aoi
    Sorry.
[16:29] Himari
    I'm being serious, you know...
[16:32] Aoi
    Right. Sorry.
[16:35] Himari
    A-Aoi?
[16:38] Aoi
    Thanks, Himari.
[16:43] Aoi
    Thanks to you, I've realized
    what's important to me.
[16:50] Aoi
    But...
[16:52] Aoi
    I'm not sure if I'll truly
    be able to protect you.
[17:09] Nachi
    My, my...
[17:13] Nachi
    How long do you intend to keep me waiting?
[17:17] Himari
    That feather!
[17:18] Nachi
    I'm waiting for you, Aoi-kun...
[17:24] Himari
    Aoi?!
[17:32] Nachi
    Who's that behind you?
[17:38] Aoi
    You're...
[17:40] Nachi
    Think back, Aoi-kun.
[17:46] Aoi
    That voice...
[17:48] Nachi
    That's right. Think back.
[17:51] Nachi
    The more you remember,
    the stronger our tie becomes.
[17:57] Aoi
    No... It can't be.
[18:00] Himari
    Aoi?
[18:02] Yukari
    It's him!
[18:03] Ise
    Damn it!
[18:04] Aoi
    No! Stay back!
[18:08] Ise
    I-I can't move!
[18:10] Aoi
    Yukari! Ise!
[18:12] Himari
    What's wrong?
[18:13] Ise
    You get back!
[18:14] Himari
    Why? Is it an ayakashi?
[18:17] Aoi
    No, this isn't...
    It's not an ayakashi's doing.
[18:27] Nachi
    Who's that behind you?
[18:37] Aoi
    It's you...
[18:41] Nachi
    So you finally remember me.
[18:56] Himari
    Huh?
[19:25] Nachi
    The door has been opened.
[19:28] Himari
    Nachi-sensei?
[19:34] Nachi
    It's been so long, Aoi-kun.
[19:41] Nachi
    I've come to get you.
[19:45] Aoi
    You...
[19:46] Nachi
    Now that you remember me,
[19:50] Nachi
    I'm finally able to enter Momochi House.
[19:53] Himari
    What's my teacher doing here?
[19:55] Nachi
    Your teacher? I'm sorry, Momochi-san.
[19:59] Nachi
    This is who I really am.
[20:06] Aoi
    Shikigami?!
[20:07] Nachi
    No worries. They won't cause any harm.
[20:11] Nachi
    These are ayakashi that
    serve me as my powers.
[20:15] Nachi
    Poor Aoi-kun...
[20:18] Nachi
    You've really been trapped here
    in Momochi House all these years.
[20:23] Nachi
    Let me set you free from this
    manor of evil barriers.
[20:29] Himari
    Y-You can do that?!
[20:32] Nachi
    Sure I can.
[20:34] Nachi
    Aoi-kun will be able to leave here.
[20:37] Nachi
    As my shikigami, that is.
[20:42] Nachi
    I've been waiting for this day
     for a long time.
[20:52] Himari
    That seal!
[20:54] Nachi
    Now, let us get started.
[20:58] Aoi
    Himari! Get back!
[21:00] Himari
    Aoi...
[21:00] Aoi
    I won't stand for this any longer.
[21:10] Himari
    Aoi?
[21:13] Aoi
    Why...?
[21:15] Nachi
    You can't transform into Nue,
    can you? Just as I planned.
[21:25] Nachi
    You're all mine now, Aoi-kun.
[23:04] (Flashback) Nachi
    Aoi-kun, everyone else may
    be happier if you disappear.
[23:16] (Flashback) Nachi
    Deep in those mountains is a vacant manor
    no one uses called Momochi House.
[23:21] (Flashback) Nachi
    What if you hide there for a little while?
[23:25] (Flashback) Nachi
    I bet your family will go looking
    for you if you go missing.
[23:31] (Flashback) Aoi
    But... what if no one comes for me?
[23:35] (Flashback) Nachi
    Don't worry. I'll come get you.
[23:38] (Flashback) Aoi
    You mean it?
[23:40] (Flashback) Nachi
    Sure. I promise.
[23:50] (Flashback) Nachi
    Now, run along to Momochi House.
