I – SUPER BANANA TIME

[Explosions rock the building in fiery devastation. People scream and cry out as flames, explosions and flying debris tormented the once mighty and proud Shuten complex. A cry, a panic, a call for a hero rings out.

But who… who could answer such a call!?

Another explosion from the ammo storage occurs. A large chunk of concrete begins its perilous decent down towards the individuals below. When!

Pow!

A large, crimson, clawed hand shoots up and catches it with ease! Throwing it aside and away. Gasp! Is that? No, could it be? Yes. Yes, it is!

Wreathed in flames and standing proudly, valiantly amidst all of the chaos is her. Ibaraki-Douji!

The people’s woeful cries fear, sorrow, and dismay will turn to immediate cheers at the sight of the oni! Hooray! An unexpected savior has arrived!

You’re welcome.]

II – They Won… But… At What Cost?

[The ruins of the building were all around. Smoke rising up high, black and oppressive. The day had been saved, just barely.

And yet…

Ibaraki-Douji. The MIGHTY Leader of the Oni of Mount Ooe. The boss of Toraguma-chan, and beautiful wife of Shuten-Douji, sat amidst it all. Her shoulders slumped low. Her three eyes staring down at trembling hands.

Not all could be saved, it seemed.

Indeed, even such a magnanimous hero such as she could only do so much. She is but one woman, after all. Even if she is among the strongest of all oni. Perhaps THE strongest of all oni. No, for what is strength when that which is precious to you is lost in and unable to be saved by you?

Her trembling, clawed hands. The very same, mighty palms that had so effortlessly held back the tidal wave of despair, were shaking. Her breathing coming out shallow and ragged as she held the sticky, dark liquid. Desperate for it to take shape once again.

Her precious treasure. That which she would dive straight into an exploding, burning building for. It was gone, she couldn’t… she couldn’t do it.

She couldn’t save the stash of chocos she had so meticulously and metodically, began to pilfer from this very building. Those that were left carelessly in those glass dishes. In office drawers, within the pockets and lunch pales of the unwary.

It was gone, nothing but ash and melted liquid now.

Ibaraki-Douji… grieved.]

III – BANANA DATE

[IT’S A DATE, A DATE WITH THE BANANA! Really who the hell cares how things got to this point? A Tamamo thinking they could get a rise out of her? Fat chase, you’re now paying for her dinner! Sutoku?

Fufufu….

Be prepared to empty your wallets inside candy shops and buying her plushies!

Enma? IT’S A NIGHT AROUND TOWN. Instead of a night in a prison cell. As for Shuten (not her amazing, wonderful, beautiful, dangerous, perfect, and amazing wife, Shuten). Well it just might be all the above! Does any of that actually matter though? Because that grip of hers is crushing.

It’s time to paint the town yellow and red!

Enjoy your night~.

Hopefully it won’t be your last.]

[ There were a lot of things to be upset about! Chris wasn't very good at cheering people up, honestly, but she needed a distraction from all the chaos now that her minor role in helping out was finished, and Ibaraki-Douji had looked a bit morose... and now..

She was trying not to die. It was one thing to tease her over text and another to be in her absurdly strong grasp. ]

Do you even eat anything other than candy?

[ Oni are terrifying beyond their strength as well. ]

Of course I do!

[Gosh, just who does she think she is? Granted of course Ibaraki would eat nothing but candy if she could. But there are other delicious things out in the world to devour! Mouthwatering alcohol to consume and all sorts of different foods to enjoy.

All while munching away on a bag of candy, still holding onto Chris.]

There's barbecue, meats grilled on a stick with vegetables, delicious seafoods, pastries, all sorts of sake...!

[She had been, well is, troubled by the everything that's happened. She really isn't interested in the whole bomb thing, beyond the fact that it had destroyed her precious, pilfered treasures!

She's very salty about that.

But also the dealings with the Iron Bear, the big blue boss....

Indeed! Having a beautiful woman treat her and to cling to helped improve her mood exponentially!]

[While searching around, he saw this building was already affected by a bomb. Naught but ruins of itself remain in place, but he still walks over to take a better look. For evidence? For survivors? Anything, before he continue on his way.

And eventually find a familiar looking figure, looking seemingly small and shaking. A stark contrast with her usually loud and boisterous bearing. He slowly walks over towards her, and carefully speaks up.]

Oya, Ibaraki-Douji. What ever is the matter?

[Lost a friend? Or a beloved treasure?]

[ What a gluttonous oni. Except... yeah, if Chris could just eat all the good food she wants all the time she'd scarf down a bunch of good stuff too and probably not stay as thin as oni girls apparently can! ]

The booze is important, huh?

[ She's figured that out as far as how oni... exist.

Her hand snakes around to snag a piece of candy. ]

[Hey, she'd offered her the chance to go to a karaoke bar, get drunk and sing dumb songs, hadn't she? A completely normal date, the way people did when they were courting each other the old fashioned way. Or at least the 20th century way, which was anything but old fashioned for the two of them, but whatever. They were going to have fun.

She was waiting there, hands behind her back and whistling easily as she waited for the oni to show. Not a care in the world. Yeaaaah, she knew this was going to cost her. Whatever. That's what promotions were for.]
