Harmony Red: Dual Destinies

Trucy has brought us to this place so high up into the mountains. Both Apollo and I were incredibly tired out.

"Whew, so what are we doing so way up in the mountains?" Apollo asked.

"This is Nine-Tails Vale, everyone's been talking about the Yokai craze here." Trucy answered.

"Huh, so Japanese monsters are common here? Sounds like fun." I said chuckling a bit.

"Wait, wasn't this place founded by Japanese immigrants?" Apollo asked.

"Yeah, they're holding a festival to boost tourism at the alderman's manor. My friend who works here invited us, that's why were here!"

"In other words I'm your chaperon because your dad was too busy." Apollo sighed, understanding what was happening.

"Daddy said with those horns of yours would be a great addition to the festival. I mean you look like a Japanese demon! Wasn't that so thoughtful of him Polly?"

(Oh snap!) I thought.

"I could do without thoughtfulness like that." Apollo answered.

"If it makes ya feel any better, I have faced Yokai before and you don't look anything like them." I said.

"Well that's good to know." (Still not sure if I believe that hero thing Trucy mentioned about him.)

"Oh, it's almost time! Come on you two the festival grounds are this way!" Trucy said leading us to the manor.

Kyubi Manor - Garden

"It definitely feels like a different world here." Trucy said.

Different world? How ironic.) I thought.

"Trucy..." A voice said as a girl wearing a pink dress and an apron appeared.

"JInxie! Guys, Jinxie's the one who invited us! She actually works as the maid here."

"Two horns, a love for red, the scent of someone else in your body. Are you two demons?"

"No, ha ha. I'm Apollo Justice,"

"And I'm Patric Cuspard nice to meet you-"

"AH! They are demons!" She then stuck what look like Ofudas on both of our foreheads.

"What the-"  We both exclaimed.

"Be gone, soul beasts!" She said holding a silver plate and another Ofuda.

(What did she just call me?!) Applejack shouted in my mind

"Hee hee, you two look great! It fills some of the space on your forehead." Trucy said bouncing a bit.

"Argh, what is this thing?" Apollo asked.

"It's an Ofuda, something that's meant to ward off demons." I answered.

"And Jinxie puts them on all the monsters she finds." Trucy added.

"Well that would work if we weren't monsters." I said.

"Maybe I should've told her you two were good demons." Trucy said thinking out loud.

"Or you could just say we're human." I deadpanned.

Jinx then shivered. "The red demons, emissary of the Underworld."

(I got up early to do my hair for this?) Apollo thought.

"Can we take these off now?" I asked.

"So you two can eat me?"

"I'M NOT GOING TO EAT YOU!" Apollo said through his Chords of Steel.

"Tone down your Chords of Steel, Apollo, you're scaring her out of her wits!" Trucy reprimanded.

"Don't worry, we're already full." I said.

"Please stay that way." Jinxie finally said.

(Great, now Patric's playing along.) Apollo thought.

"Apollo, before you start to talk with her, present your Attorney's Badge." I whispered.

"Why?" He whispered back.

"So it'll prove we're both human."

"Right." He then showed Jinxie his Attorney's Badge. "Um I wanted to show you this."

She then began to freak out. "AH! What is it?!"

"It's my Attorney's Badge. You see? We aren't demons, we're human, and I'm a lawyer."

After that small issue was wrapped up, we began to talk to Jinxie for a little bit before she had to go back to work. As which, Trucy, Apollo and I went around to various stands, to which Trucy basically made Apollo's wallet lose a large amount of weight. After Apollo commented on this, we began to notice a large amount of people surrounding Kyubi Manor.

"What's going on here?" Apollo and I asked.

"It's the Alderman, Tenma Taro killed the Alderman!"

"Wait what?!"

"When I was walking into the room, I saw the alderman dead! I went to call the police when I saw Tenma Taro run past me!" Jinx said utterly terrified.

"Okay, I'm gonna go check it out, Apollo come on!" I said.

"Right!"

"I'll stay here with Jinxie."

"He's in the room at the top of there stairway." Jinx told us as we ran inside. As we ran up the stairs and got into the room, we saw blood on the floor with black feathers around us. As we saw the alderman impaled with a spear, Apollo and I screamed. We then saw a man with a teal suit. He also seemed to get hit on the head. Apollo ran up to him.

"Are you alright?"

"Who are you?" the man asked as he lost consciousness.

"Help! Someone call an ambulance!" I screamed.
