[h2]Ibaraki Akari[/h2]

If anyone else in the room had opted to hug the shy girl, she would have overreacted... and likely gone completely still so as to [i]not[/i] potentially break someone's arm by accident. With the tanuki wrapped around her head and promising to protect her from... debt collectors, for some reason, her response was far more subdued: simply a luminescent blush as she was pulled into the much older youkai's head, and a plaintive "Aunt Shiiiinaaaaa, I was drinking..."

Whatever this abducting youkai was, it sounded scary. It could pop up in broad daylight even if nobody was there? What if it got confused and went for the wrong person, or if it got stronger after eating children and decided it wanted to work its way upwards? Akari wasn't intimidating at all! She would have to bribe Hina to stay here after all if it wasn't finished today. 

"C-Can't I just stay here? I can't hit ghosts!" And ghosts were scary too! You couldn't hit them and get them to stop whatever they were doing! All she had to rely on was strength, why did they need to go upset an onryo or something by accident when asking questions as well? She didn't want to watch a creepy video and die!
