The Missing Yo-kai Watch

Lazy afternoons are simply the best. Some people sleep in, some people relax in front of the television, and some people sit back with a good book. Myself, I have sex with my supernatural lady friends.

On this, a warm Saturday afternoon, my time had been mostly spent in the bathroom; I wasn't sick, instead helping out Hanako-san perfecting one of her Yo-kai creams. Bliss, her accidental sex aid, for some reason demanded a "sequel." She insisted that we could perfect it, and was determined on it being the cure-all miracle cream to help cement any Yo-kai couples' bedroom relations. In addition to that sex-in-a-bottle, she had decided to also release a full line of couples' aids, in addition to keeping up her fashion and skin care lines.

"Okay, how does this one feel?" I've repeated that question at least ten times today, each time while trying out a new product, and each time ended up being better than the last. I sat on the (fortunately closed) toilet in my small bathroom, with Hanako-san sitting in my bare lap. My cock was at attention with an orange condom around it: Hanako-san's "Yo-kondoms" had been an outstanding success. "Why does this thing feel hot around me?" I asked.

Hanako-san, holding her red skirt up past her waist, was slowly sitting on my cock. When it pushed inside of her, I heard a loud gasp come from the Yo-kai girl as she slowly took more of me inside. She turned and looked up at me; her entire face was red, and she looked nervous.

"Hug me." She instructed. I wrapped my arms around her, keeping her balanced as she started to ride my cock. Cute sighs and moans started to come from her as she sped up, taking a little more of me inside each time she lowered. "A-And it's hot because we need to help Yo-kai that thrive on heat. I-If they have a partner who has ice powers, sex would be E-EXTREMELY ...! ... unenjoyable ...!" Hanako-san's speech had turned louder from my surprise upward thrust inside of her, but she didn't complain. "T-This one feels nice and warm, and not too hot to be uncomfortable ... I-I think this one works fine!" She sounded happy, but her voice still stammered as she bounced up and down on me. I didn't have any plans to stop her.

"If this one works, should we move on?" I asked, keeping a hold on her as she moved up and down on me. Her pussy squeezed around my cock whenever the heat of the condom started to hit her most sensitive spots, and her moaning turned into heavy, rapid breathing and small, quick gasps of pleasure. I had lost count of the number of orgasms she'd had this afternoon, but I knew it had to be at least eight. I'm not bragging -- if she was human, the amount of cum I'd emptied into her today would be dangerous.

"N-NO!" Hanako-san's eyes widened and she frantically shook her head. "I-I mean, no, don't stop! We need to keep testing!" Hanako-san blushed at her reaction. She pushed her index fingers together and looked away from me. "W-We need to test faster, too. Please."

"You're the boss, boss." I smiled. I kept my grip on her sides and slowly lifted her up until only the head of my cock was inside her. Hanako-san turned to me and slowly nodded; we didn't need to speak for her to understand. I nodded in returned, and she closed her eyes -- within seconds, I was furiously pushing her down and pulling her back up on my cock, moving so fast that her short hair waved around her face and her pussy clamped around me like a vicegrip. Her moaning became so loud that it echoed throughout the bathroom, and the sounds of skin slapping together were easy to hear from our speed. I began to push her down a little further, shoving every inch of my cock inside of her as she reached back behind her, gripping my shirt as I helped her bounce on me. "This condom feels a lot better whenever we go faster." I muttered. "Let's see how much better it can get."

"G-Gladly!" Hanako-san stammered inbetween moans. I started to forcefully move her back and forth on my cock, feeling her touch the base of it with every push. She tossed her head back, moaning louder and louder with each passing second. My hips were bucking wildly as I slammed into her -- I had lost control of my legs entirely, and had already kicked the toilet paper holder off the wall. Our constant bouncing had shaken up the room and knocked over some art I had on the wall, our toothbrushes on the sink, and the stack of towels on a shelf had hit the floor and spread everywhere from the floor's vibration. The harder I fucked her, the faster I felt another orgasm coming on. This was the first time I had worn a condom while we did this, so I wasn't sure what she wanted me to do.

"I'm close." I muttered. "Should I do it inside the condom? Decide quick!" I warned her.

"I don't care! Just d-don't stop!" She moaned. "W-We'll see how it holds up with intense orgasms! Just hurry up and cum!" Hanako-san commanded. "H-Hurry up, so we can cum together! I'm going to .... g-going to ...!"

"Hold on!" I begged her, thrusting upward as I held her in place. I closed my eyes and braced myself -- after a few seconds of pounding my short friend, I felt yet another orgasm fire off. The condom was full almost instantly, and I felt Hanako-san's juices spray all over my rubber-covered cock and legs. I slowly sat her down on my lap, still inside of me, and smiled as I heard her gasping and breathing heavily while trying to regain her composure. "How long have we been at this?" I asked. Hanako-san looked at the floor.

"I don't know. We knocked the clock off the wall and it's broken now." She replied. "Probably a while, since we started after breakfast." Hanako-san reached into a pocket on her skirt and pulled out a notebook and pencil, scribbling something down. "Yo-kondoms ... successful." I cringed at the ridiculous name, but because of the way I was able to test this stuff out, I didn't care in the slightest. "Okay, so ..." Hanako-san flipped a few pages, reading them off. "Bliss two, yes ... heated Yo-kondoms, yes ... Heaven by Hanako, definitely yes ..." She blushed as she read off the names, and I assume recalled the sex we had to test the effects.

I questioned how we properly tested the condoms when Hanako-san didn't have ice powers, but I'd never ask. I didn't want to ruin my chances of spending the rest of the day testing out more. Hanako-san tapped on my leg, our signal to pull her away from me. I sat her on the floor and watched her with anticipation; she walked to the front of the toilet and reached for my cock, gently pulling the condom off to prevent destroying it.

She licked her lips at my cum-covered cock and adorably pushed herself up a bit with her hands on the toilet lid, taking my head into her mouth and gently sucking on it. Her tongue swirled around it to clean me up, leaning forward and taking more of me into her mouth. I could feel her cleaning the cum off of my with her licking, and seeing her feet dangling when she finally got down to my waist was more cute than arousing -- but it was still indeed arousing. She bobbed her head back and forth for a good few minutes until finally pulling away and licking her lips once more; my dick was free of cum, and she looked quite happy with herself. I watched as she tied the condom's opening in a knot, with my cum still inside of it and placed it in her pocket; I didn't wanna know what she had planned for it.

The two of us left the bathroom, quite content with our experiments. Hanako-san retired to her seat in front of my laptop, and I lay down on the bed. After a few moments of silent, I found myself sitting up and looking around.

"Where's Insomni?" I thought out loud. She didn't know that Hanako-san and I had sex, or pretended not to know; I think as long as I kept her satisfied, she would ignore it. She hadn't mentioned being out today, but I probably should have noticed something after I fucked Hanako-san for hours on end without interruption.

"No idea." Hanako-san replied. I lay back down, closing my eyes.

"It's just as well." I said. "I can get a nap after our morning of ... all that." I said with a yawn. Hanako-san didn't reply. She muttered something, but I'm sure it was about me, not to me. As if on cue, my much-needed nap was interrupted by an all too familiar voice.

"Wake up forever!" Insomni said happily as she appeared in the room. She floated above the end of the bed with a large bag in her hands. "I went shopping today! I got you some things!"

"Oh, cool!" I sat up. "Thank you!" Yo-kai presents must be cool. I don't even have any idea what they could be, but I was excited none the less. Insomni handed the bag to me, and I dug inside like a kid with a pound of candy. I pulled out a big, shiny, fantastic ... brown binder. It had gold-printed symbols all over it, and writing that I couldn't understand. I flipped it open, seeing multiple round holes on the pages. "It's a ... it's a book?" I looked up at Insomni with confusion.

"It's a Yo-kai Medallium, silly!" Insomni giggled. "You can put your medals in it, so you don't lose them!"

I only have the three, though. Then again, this beats putting them in my pocket; this was a really cool thing after all.

"Awesome, thanks." I smiled at her. I awkwardly reached into my pocket from my seated position and dug out the girls' medals, along with Rokurokubi's. I snapped them into the open spaces in the book, and looked at them in admiration. These three were my friends, and hopefully would be forever. I'd never take back the night I met Insomni and my life changed. Insomni seemed to share my sentiment, and smiled at me. Hanako-san had since climbed on the bed and sat on my lap, giving me a hug and looking up at me with a smile. "I love you girls." I said.

"Yeah yeah, hugs n' kisses all around." Insomni replied in an annoyed tone, crossing her arms. She had a smirk on her lips, despite her tone of voice. "Come on, you have something else in there."

"Ooh, neat." I reached back into the bag and felt a box; I pulled it out, seeing what looked like a tablet with horns on the front. 'Yo-kai Pad' was the text above the picture.

"It's a Yo-kai Pad." Insomni explained. Duh. "You can use it to look up information on any Yo-kai you like, and it can also connect to the Yo-kai World internet just in case that one," she pointed to Hanako-san, who feigned looking offended, "is hogging the laptop." I pulled the Pad out of the box and flipped it on -- the screen had a design of two eyes and a fanged mouth. After a moment of booting up, I was swiping my finger everywhere and playing with the thing. It took a few minutes for something to finally hit my mind.

"Hey, where did you get the money for all of this?" I asked. "You live with me, and I don't have Yo-kai money."

"Well, you see ..." Insomni put her hands behind her back and looked away from me. "I sort of ... took your last check and did a money transfer at the Yo-kai bank? Just a little bit?" I could feel the heat from anger on my face when I glared at her.

"How much." I didn't ask, I commanded an answer. "You eat from that money too, you know."

"Just ... a little ... maybe three-hundred?" Insomni wouldn't face me. "Yo-kai Pads aren't cheap, and that Medallium was the last one, so I had to buy it, right?" I wanted to yell at her, but the fact that she thought of someone other than herself for once was too surprising to ignore. It's not like we would go hungry anyway.

"Thanks." I smiled, to her surprise. "These are really cool. I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of them."

Insomni floated towards me and snatched the tablet out of my hands, frantically swiping her finger around and tapping at something. After a moment, she handed the tablet to me over Hanako-san's vision. On the screen was an assortment of pictures of Insomni -- topless, flashing, or entirely nude. I looked at her with a red face, and she winked at me.

"For those lonely times when I'm out." Insomni said with a grin. "Those are our secret."

Of course, I could see any part of her body by simply asking, but it was the thought that counted. I couldn't rely on Hanako-san, as she was opposed to just random fucking unless we had a reason for it, so perhaps I'd get more use out of this little gallery than I thought. I quickly tapped a few buttons to hide Insomni's other 'gifts' from Hanako-san's view, and handed her the Yo-kai Pad. Hanako-san snatched it like a dog waiting on a bone, and started swiping her fingers around faster than Insomni or I had: this little Yo-kai knew her technology. Hanako-san slowly climbed off of the bed and returned to her seat, her interest with my laptop entirely gone.

"Well, she's busy for the night." I commented, laying back on the bed. Insomni hovered over me, looking at Hanako-san.

"It seems that way." Insomni agreed with a nod. "I suppose we're all in for the evening, then?" She turned at me, and licked her lips. I waved a hand dismissively, and her smile turned into a scowl. "I haven't had anything all day! I save myself for you!"

"I appreciate that." I replied. "And I totally love ya for it, but I'm really tired right now." I'd been saying that a lot recently; living with these two was indeed exhausting, sex or no. Insomni crossed her arms and floated closer, staring at me with a very unhappy look on her face. I tried to move away, but I couldn't from already laying down. "Y-You okay?" I asked. "Did you need something?"

"Well, I DID!" Insomni shouted angrily. "But since you're not giving it, you can make yourself useful and run to the store!"

"Again? But we just got food a week ago!" I protested. Insomni turned in a huff. I groaned and climbed out of bed, reaching for my coat as I walked towards the door. I turned and looked at Hanako-san, but she didn't look up from the Yo-kai Pad.

"Soda, please." She muttered. I nodded and walked out, closing the door behind me. Early evening or not, it was going to be a long, cold walk just to please Insomni's candy craving. Maybe I should have just put out after all.

I walked away from the apartment building and headed towards the closest Everymart, hoping I could get there and back before freezing. The streetlights along the path were rather dim, which luckily wasn't a problem since I had made the walk so many times I could likely do it in the dark.

While I walked, I kept staring down at my Yo-kai Watch. After placing the three medals I had into the Medallium, I had noticed that I've only actually used this watch twice, once to summon Hanako-san against Hungramps, and again to annoy Insomni after she gave me her new medal. Usually, the girls accompanied me anywhere I went, so the only friend I had to actually to call for was Rokurokubi -- I never faced a situation where I would need to bother her and get her assistance, though. I thought about the other Yo-kai in my life; the annoying yet kind-hearted Hungramps, and the adorable Komasan that I had yet to give a big hug. Being Yo-kai, I'm sure they have medals, but would I ever get them? Could I fill up the Medallium someday?

More importantly, does every Yo-kai have to eventually live with me? I love having Insomni and Hanako-san as roommates, but I don't know if I could deal with Hungramps's appetite or Komasan's love of ice cream swirls. Outside of Insomni's seemingly endless sex drive and Hanako-san's intelligence, fashion sense, and adorable looks, I didn't have much hands-on experience with other Yo-kai. Maybe I should take the girls on a Yo-kai hunt soon, so we can make more friends. You can never have too many friends, right? Supernatural or otherwise.

Inbetween looking from my wrist to the street, something caught the corner of my vision. I quickly turned my head -- nothing was in sight. I focused on the spot and held my glasses' lens perfectly still.

Not even a Yo-kai.

I excused the whatever-it-is as an animal and kept walking. I was almost to Everymart, and part of me hoped they had fresh sandwiches for once. The more I thought about having to walk there and back, the hungrier I seemed to get. I wouldn't be surprised if Hungramps was sneaking behind me and causing it -- for a Yo-kai who causes hunger, he causes me to lose money just as much. Maybe he's secretly a bank president and just hides out as an old man. Or maybe not.

With Everymart in sight, my walk turned into an excited run.

...

After a little bit of shopping, mostly for the Yo-kai, I left the store with multiple bags on my arms. Some fresh sandwiches for myself, bags of chocolate pieces for Insomni, and one bag full of bottles of soda for Hanako-san. All of that, combined with the usual bags of chips, cheap bowls of ramen, and whatever ready-made food I could afford. Although I'd never ask my friends to move out, my wallet did miss the times when I didn't have to feed them as well. If only Yo-kai could just filter feed, or maybe ate grass; I'd have so much more money.

When I started my trek back, I paused in my steps -- not because of something behind me, more of because I tripped after trying to step on the sidewalk without paying attention. As was my luck, all of the food had fallen out of the bags and hit the ground; fortunately, nothing was ripped or ruined! That was a first, and quite a welcome one. I loaded up the bags again and carefully stepped onto the cement sidewalk, heading for home. I turned my head as I walked away; I hadn't tripped over anything besides the edge of the cement. I had never been caught by this before -- what was catching me up tonight?

The only thing unusual I could hear was a bird chirping. Birds don't usually chirp in the dark, but I quit questioning anything after having sex with three ghosts. I probably should've taken a look at something so weird, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get home.

I kept on walking, thinking about how I was going to have a sandwich feast with some of Hanako-san's soda when I got home. I hadn't eaten all day, and using so much energy made my stomach pretty empty. The idea of soft bread full of delicious things made me want to take a pause and eat a sandwich on the way home, but I knew better. Insomni would probably bitch me out for eating without her.

"Hungramps, if you're behind me, go home." I said, knowing that no other human was around to hear. My stomach started to grumble, but I didn't hear any footsteps behind me. If someone was there, they weren't walking. "I'm serious, Hungramps." I spoke again. "I'm not sharing. You can talk to Insomni if you want any chocolate." I was basically talking to myself, but I enjoyed the idea of a disappointed Hungramps abandoning me and walking back into Everymart to scare the cashier by making food float and disappear. The more I thought about it, I couldn't figure out an excuse for wanting Hungramps's medal -- why would I want to summon him to eat my food in person?

I laughed out loud at the idea of it. He was a nice old man, but personally inviting him to empty my kitchen didn't sound nice at all. After another turn, I saw my apartment building -- much faster than I had expected. Talking to a non-existant old man behind me must have made the walk seem much shorter than usual. I thanked Hungramps in my mind as I headed for the door. With my hands full, all I could do was knock.

"Insomni! Hanako-san!" I didn't shout, but I spoke loud enough that I knew they could hear me. "My hands are full! Let me in! Come on, it's cold out here!"

The doorknob didn't turn. I would understand Insomni making me suffer in an attempt to stay awake from the cold, but Hanako usually always let me inside. I got worried after a minute passed.

"Hanako? Insomni? Come on, this isn't funny!" I tapped on the door once again, and placed my ear to it. I couldn't hear anything. I was definitely worried now. I thought for a moment: I could just summon them both here. We'd all be outside, but we would be together and safe, not to mention Insomni could float through the door anyway. I looked down at my wrist.

The Yo-kai Watch was no longer there. I smacked myself on the forehead; the medals were in the Medallium anyway! Even if I had the watch, their little summon pogs were inside! More importantly, what the hell happened to my magical time keeper that didn't actually keep the time? I quickly retraced my steps in my mind: A calm walk to Everymart, some quick shopping, I tripped and gathered my stuff back, and walked home. No Yo-kai actually stopped me on the way back, but I did heard a weird bird and thought something passed by me on the way to the store. I didn't feel anything touch me or my arm, and I think I would've noticed someone trying to rob me.

I need to calm down. I didn't have my watch, my friends were missing, and I couldn't force them back to my side. I could still use my suspiciously-crafted eyewear to find Yo-kai to help me look, if I could get them to agree to.

What I wouldn't give to hear Insomni lecturing me about how staying awake forever was much more fun than sleeping.

Tap ... tap ... BLAM!

Two pebbles and a hefty rock were successful in "opening" the window next to my door. I crawled inside with the bags dangling from my legs and feet, taking care not to cut myself on any stray glass. I stepped on the floor and heard all of the bags fall, but at least everything was inside. I looked around, seeing my bedroom was completely empty. The Yo-kai Medallium was open on my bed, and a piece of paper rest on top of it. I walked past my pile of groceries and snatched the paper.

"Got bored waiting for you. Went to the Yopple Midnight Event. Love, Insomni and Hanako-san."

At the very bottom, Insomni had scribbled "But I love you more" and drew a little picture of her face. Cute, Insomni.

I worried for nothing, apparently. It was a relief that the girls were okay, but I was still without a watch. I picked up the Yo-kai Pad that Hanako-san had left on, and started examining it. Under the screen had a slot shaped like the same medal slot on my watch -- I wondered something. I reached down for Hanako-san's green medal in my collection and popped it into the pad's slot; it fit perfectly. The screen instantly changed to the same multi-colored pattern on my watch's face, and the white clock hands rapidly spun around. After a moment, Hanako's face, albeit pixelated, appeared on-screen.

"I see you figured out how to use Summon-time on the Pad!" She exclaimed. She smiled at me and a pixelated hand appeared next to her head, giving me a thumbs-up. "Good job!"

"Summon-time?" I asked. "I'd rather you just be here. What are you two doing, anyway?"

"Summon-time is like a video chat." She explained. "You can't see it, but there's a neat little floating screen in front of me that shows me your face. You look digital." Her computerized face chuckled. "Anyway, we're here at Yopple because there was really big news about the Yo-kai Watch. I thought we should check it out for you, so I had Insomni slip your spare key under the doormat."

Kill me. Kill me now. The one place I didn't think to look. I wondered what "Yopple" was, but the name sounded familiar enough that I could probably guess if I tried.

"Yeah, she ... she totally did. That's how I got in." I lied. "I have a bit of a problem though." I held my left wrist to the screen -- I didn't see a camera lens, but hey, it was Yo-kai magic. She didn't need to explain.

"Did you take your watch off? Why?" Hanako's e-face tilted in confusion. "You should be careful. If you lose it, you can't call us anymore."

"No, I didn't take it off!" I replied a bit too defensively. "I came home and it was just gone!"

"That's peculiar ..." Hanako-san trailed off. You think so? Really?!

"What am I supposed to do now?" I asked. "I can't get either of you girls without this thing!"

"Well, you can find other Yo-kai with your glasses. Maybe you can ask around town." Hanako-san suggested. "We'll be home in a while and we'll help you look." Hanako's digital hand waved at me, and in a flicker she disappeared from the screen. I groaned and sat the tablet back on the bed; she wasn't much help in this case. I popped her medal out of the Yo-kai Pad and stood from the bed, dropping it into my pocket. I looked down at the Medallium, noticing something was missing -- Insomni's green medal was in it, but not her gray one that she gave me to start with. I looked around for a moment, seeing it sitting on my night stand like it was some decoration. I was thankful she hadn't noticed. I grabbed it and popped Insomni's green medal out of the book, just in case.

With Hanako-san's medal and Insomni's older and newer ones, I stepped outside.

This wasn't going to be easy.

...

My first stop was Everymart. Since it was the place where I actually was distracted when I fell, I thought it would be the prime place for someone to swipe something stupendous from my startled self. As I stepped into the empty parking lot, I focused my lens on the shop's front door, and saw it slide open. When no one came out, I knew I had discovered my first possible lead. Surprising to no one, Hungramps was standing outside of the store with his hands on his stomach. He sighed in satisfaction, and patted his belly while starting to walk again.

"How did I know ..." I muttered. "Evening, Hungramps." I greeted him with a wave. Hungramps paused in his tracks and looked back at me, returning my wave.

"Good evening to you, young man!" He replied. "What brings you out this late?"

"Well, I wanted to ask you something." I said. Hungramps nodded and put his hands behind his back. "My Yo-kai Watch is gone, and this was the last place I've been. It's that blue-and-red one I wear, and I have no idea what could have happened to it. Have you seen it anywhere?"

Hungramps paused for a moment. He put a hand to his chin. He frowned, shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, young man. I haven't seen your watch anywhere." He replied. "There's something I've been meaning to give you concerning it, though!" He walked towards me with a smile on his face. His normal line of drool ran down his mouth, which I found normal now rather than gross. He reached up to me and opened his hand, showing me a gray Yo-kai Medal. The art was Hungramps himself, with a large thought bubble coming from him. In the bubble were various foods, which made Hungramps's art version have his typical drool from his mouth. "You've treated me very kindly, even after I've helped myself to your lunch." He explained. "I'd like you to have this. I've considered you my good friend for some time now."

I was geniunely surprised. Every time I came across Hungramps, either I or one of the girls tried to stop him. I've even yelled at him in the past out of frustration. Even after every time we've clashed, he still considered us friends? Maybe the clashing was one-sided and I just never realized it. Regardless, I took his medal and gave him a big smile.

"Thanks, Hungramps." I replied. His warm smile was so nice that it made me want to hug him. "You're my good friend too. I promise that I'll see you again sometime. We'll even have lunch."

"Well, that sounds great!" Hungramps patted his stomach. "I could always fill up the ol' gas tank!" He let out a hearty laugh. Before I could turn to leave, he reached up and grabbed my pants' leg. "Say, young fella ... if you're looking for your watch, would you be okay with some help? I'd hate for you to not be able to call me."

"Sounds great, thank you." I nodded. Hungramps had a big smile on his face, enough that I could see his single tooth. The two of us started to walk down the sidewalk, all while Hungramps told me about how delicious Everymart's nighttime food tasted a bit stale compared to the food made fresh in the morning. I wasn't aware that the store made their food, I always took "fresh" as "before the expiration date." I have a lot to learn from this man.

As we walked down the dimly-lit street, Hungramps and I were both keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. After I told him that I thought something had been running around the area, he just happened to have noticed the same thing. He wasn't sure what it was either, but he seemed just as curious as I was.

"Hey ... come here! You two! C'mere!"

Hungramps and I stopped at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. We both looked around, and Hungramps pointed -- I held my glasses in place and stared at the direcion, watching the usual purple aura eventually form into some small, devil-looking creature. He had one huge, black horn on his head, a small red flag in his left hand, and what looked to be a tiger-skin loincloth around his waist. The most noticable thing was his HUGE right hand which he continued waving, beckoning us to approach him.

"Should we?" I asked Hungramps, looking down at him. The old man shrugged.

"Nothing to lose." He replied. We both walked towards the new Yo-kai.

"Follow Leadoni!" The Yo-kai said before turning away and running off. "Follow Leadoni for something good!"

Since running wasn't Hungramps's strong point, I picked him up and held him under my arm like a football as we followed Leadoni. It was hard to keep track of him in the dark, but his massive hand was just enough to follow without much trouble. He lead us down a few turns, straight down a road, and finally to an alley between buildings. Leadoni stopped and turned to us, happily hopping in place.

"Wonder what you'll get!" Leadoni said. "Will it be something good?" With that, he disappeared into a puff of purple smoke. I placed Hungramps down on the ground, and he stumbled a little from dizziness.

"That was quite a ride ..." Hungramps spoke in a daze. "I haven't done that since high school ..."

"Sorry about that ..." I apologized and patted his cone-shaped head. "Come on, we have something good to find."

We headed into the alley. It was hard to see from the dim lights, but I could make out a purple box in front of us. It had a giant eye on top, staring at us as we approached. Hungramps and I looked nervous at each other as I reached down to open the chest -- I simply tapped it and it popped open. Nothing jumped out of it, so we could rule out running away.

"Well, I'll be ...!" Hungramps exclaimed happily. My smile was wider than his stomach. Inside of the purple monstrous chest was my Type Zero watch. I pulled it out and looked it up and down; it seemed to be in fine condition. Not a single scuff or scratch, fortunately. "That was quite the adventure!"

We ran down two streets. That wasn't anywhere near an adventure. I wasn't going to crush his spirit, though.

"This is awesome! Thanks for your help, Hungramps!" I said, putting the watch back on. Hungramps, hands behind his back again, nodded with a big grin. Part of me wanted to go home, but I was still too curious: I wanted to know who did this, and for what reason. As I stood there awkwardly in thought, Hungramps had started to investigate the area around us.

"Look at this!" Hungramps turned to me with something in his hands: a woman's purse. It looked to be full, luckily for whoever the owner was. Hungramps placed it on the ground and turned back around. I walked closer, seeing he was digging through a pile of random items. There were hats, a belt, a pair of jeans, some kids' toys, and a soccer ball. Next to that pile was another, full of gold and jewelry. Have we come across a thief's den?

Well, thief's alley. Still.

"Steal everything! Steal everything important!"

I turned around at the sound of a voice; it was a high-pitched screech, one I had never heard before. I turned back to Hungramps, who was trying on a pink womens' sunhat and looking at himself in a broken mirror leaning against the brick wall. He turned the hat and moved his body a bit, blushing at his one-man fashion show. He had the purse over his shoulder as well. They kind of suited him, in a cute old man sort of way.

"Steal everything! Everything from everyone!"

The voice was getting closer. Hungramps had found a stolen skirt and was twirling around while posing as the garment flowed around his waist. Hungramps's power of making someone hungry wasn't going to stop someone from attacking us. Hanako-san didn't really have a "power" besides scaring others in bathrooms and making them look fantastic.

That left Insomni. If anything, she could turn one into an insomniac and leave them exhausted. It was better than nothing.

I dug into my pocket and pulled out Insomni's green medal. I popped into into the watch, and turned the face crank to 1.

"Please assume your summoning pose." The watch instructed. I stood in place, while Hungramps jumped in front of me. His womens' clothing had disappeared, and his arms were outstretched in some kind of super hero's justice pose. I definitely need to hang out with this guy more. A bright light started to flow out from the watch's face, spinning and turning into the rainbow path. The spooky melody started to play, and Insomni appeared at the top of the path.

She floated down the path, winking and licking her lips, pressing her breasts together, and leaning down to show her cleavage. Her hips swayed as she traveled, finally reaching the end. She turned to face me and blew a kiss. I turned the crank over to 2, and the light started to spin once more.

"Summoning an Eerie." The watch said. In a big flash, the rainbow path disappeared and Insomni was above me.

"Insomni!" she announced happily. Her hands were clasped together and she bent over, showing enough cleavage that the tops of her nipples were just barely visible. I looked down at Hungramps, who had fallen to the ground. Blood shot out of his nose and he was twitching. Insomni's pose had ended and she floated down next to me, also looking at the old man. "Was I too much for him?" She asked. I just shook my head. "Anyway, what'd ya need?" She hugged my arm tight and rubbed against me.

"Someone stole my watch and a bunch of other stuff." I explained. "Whoever they are, they're coming fast." I said.

"Sounds like a personal problem ..." Insomni replied. I gently tapped her on the back of the head. "Hey! Okay, I get it!"

"Steal everything! Steal every ... hey, what are you doing here?" The voice now came from above us. I looked up and focused my lens, watching as a huge, round purple shape slowly started to take shape into another Yo-kai. The three of us looked up and saw a humongous purple bird flapping its wings as if it could barely stay aloft. The bird slowly descended to the ground and glared at Insomni and I, while Hungramps hid behind my legs. "Are you trying to steal what I stole?!" The bird shouted at us.

"No, you stole from me!" I shot back. "You stole all of this stuff, too, I bet!" The bird looked quite satisfied and nodded. "You're a no good thief, you ... uh ..." I paused in my definitely cool-sounding accusation.

"That's Peckpocket."

Insomni and I looked down; Hanako-san had appeared, with the Yo-kai Pad in her hands. A picture of the bird in front of us flashed on-screen, with boxes of text all around it.

"Peckpocket makes people she inspirits want to steal things from other people. Peckpocket herself enjoys taking things as well." Hanako-san explained. She looked up at me for a response, but the look on my face must've been enough of an answer. "Oh. I figured you would be headed down this way so I saved you the time." She explained. "Let's just get this over with."

"Okay then!" I nodded. Insomni, Hanako-san, and Hungramps all stood in front of me, looking ready to fight. Peckpocket awkwardly fluttered in front of us, looking very determined as well. We stared each other down, waiting on the other to be foolish enough to make that first move.

It was then, I realized: I wasn't sure what to do here. Hungramps wasn't ever an actual threat. This Yo-kai could potentionally really hurt us.

"Uh ... how do I handle Yo-kai, again?" I asked out loud. I looked at my friends for some kind of suggestion, and they turned to face me.

Insomni blushed at the question and teasingly stuck her tongue out at me. Hanako-san, while looking down to not face me, blushed. Hungramps put his hands on his cheeks and blushed.

"Not YOU!" I shouted at him. I shook my head and smacked myself on the cheek to focus. "Okay, uh ... Insomni, keep Peckpocket awake!" I commanded. Insomni shrugged.

"What's that going to do?" She asked. "She's clearly a night owl if she's awake now."

I groaned in frustration.

"Okay, whatever ... Hanako-san?" I asked my shorter friend for advice. Hanako-san was swiping away at the Yo-kai Pad. After a few moments, she paused and leaned close to Hungramps's ear, whispering something to him. Hungramps gave a nod and leapt towards Peckpocket with his hands outstretched, grabbing the fat bird by her love handles and crawling up her body. When he reached the top, Hungramps started to gnaw on Peckpocket's head.

"Ow! Hey! That hurts!" Peckpocket shouted in pain. She furiously shook around in an attempt to get Hungramps off, but the old man's lone tooth wouldn't let his meal get away. He continued to gnaw on her, moving down to try one of her wings. Peckpocket fell to the ground and started to splash around like a fish out of water, all while Hungramps held on like a cowboy at a rodeo.

"What did you do?" I asked Hanako-san.

"I told him that she had a chocolate center." Hanako replied. I smiled and patted her head; Hanako smiled at the praise. The girls and I watched this scene with amusement as Hungramps continued to find Peckpocket's sweet insides, all while the bird begged and pleaded for him to stop.

...

Not much later, Hungramps had grown bored of this and hopped off of Peckpocket, who was covered in drool, bite marks, and had lost a good number of feathers. Peckpocket pulled a white flag out of her purple feathered coat and slowly waved it.

"I give! Just call him off!" She begged. "I'll return everything I took as long as I never have to see him again!"

"Well, I don't know." I replied. I crossed my arms and tried to look tough. "What do you think, Hungramps?" I held on to the collar of Hungramps's robe and he jumped towards Peckpocket, barking like a rabid dog. Peckpocket started to tremble. "I suppose I can buy him a burger if you'll keep up your end of the deal. Return everything and don't take my watch again."

"Sure, sure! Just keep that thing on a leash!" Peckpocket started to fly and grabbed one of the hats with her right claw and something else in her left. As she flew over us, she opened the left and something fell on the ground -- her medal. I picked it up, seeing it was an older gray one -- the art had Peckpocket taking something and flying off, with a large green arm and hand trying to take it back. Insomni floated behind me to see it, and Hanako-san crawled up my back and leaned over my shoulder.

"Ooh, it's pretty." Hanako-san commented. "It's a good thing you can use those now."

"Yeah, I--" I paused. I turned my head to face her. "So I can do what now?" Hanako-san leapt from my back to the ground.

"Yeah, Insomni gave you the Classic Model Yo-kai Watch we bought for you, right?" Hanako-san asked. I glared at Insomni; she actually looked nervous.

"Well, I ... you see, we were busy with this, so ..." Insomni stammered. I saw a bead of sweat run down her face. "And we ... uh ... oh, who cares about a dumb watch when you have me?!" Insomni grabbed my hand and pushed it down her dress, between her large, soft purple breasts. Her chest started to glow -- this wasn't normal for her. She looked down at herself with a wide eye, I stared, and Hanako-san kept jumping up to get a look. When Insomni stopped glowing, I pulled my wrist free -- my Type Zero watch was gone, replaced with a silver watch with a much thicker and bigger face. There was no dial, either -- just a really big plastic casing over the face. I pressed a little button on the side, and the plastic popped up. A sound began to play when I held it in.

"Let me guess." I sighed.

"Yeah. Regional issues." Insomni replied. "It's cheaper without the Yo-kai light, and you don't need it anyway."

I was curious about something. I shoved my hand back into Insomni's cleavage, and her chest started to glow. When it stopped, I pulled my hand out and saw the Type Zero back on my wrist. I shoved my hand back down -- glow -- Classic watch. I kept this up for at least another two minutes, and had to stop when Insomni started moaning.

"She hides your other watch in her boobs for you." Hanako-san commented while trying to jump up to Insomni and shove the Yo-kai pad in her bust while Insomni swatted her away. "At least you'll never misplace it." I questioned the health risks, honestly. Many things besides a watch have been between those purple tits of Insomni's. I looked at the Classic watch again and pushed the button to pop the face open. At the bottom, like the Type Zero watch, was a medal slot.

Insomni's here, so I don't need to call for her. Peckpocket's hopefully fixing her crimes, and I don't want to interrupt. Hungramps is ...

Wait a second. He's been quiet.

Hanako-san had started walking off while playing with the Yo-kai Pad and Insomni followed her, leaving me alone. I looked around for Hungramps, but saw no trace of my old friend. He wasn't eating out of a trash can, at least. I decided to do something nice for him and test out my new watch.

...

Inside of Everymart, I prowled around the back of the store where the boxed lunches and snacks were. I looked over, seeing the cashier behind the counter was ignoring me entirely in favor of looking through a magazine that he probably shouldn't have in public view. Making sure that he was paying me no mind, I snuck over to a door labeled "Employees Only" and slowly turned the doorknob. Luckily for me, it was both unlocked and not secured whatsoever. The cashier continued to ignore me as I stepped inside, gently closing the door behind me. I flipped the light switch, seeing exactly what I was hoping for; Everymart's food stockroom. Boxes of cheap candy, stacks of soda cans and bottles, and a giant freezer full of extra ice cream -- this would definitely be the best kind of thank you. I reached into my pocket and pulled out Hungramps's Yo-kai medal and pushed it into the Classic Watch. The watch didn't ask me to pose, or waste any time; as soon as the medal was inside, the magic happened.

"SUMMONING ... HEARTFUL!" The Classic Watch exclaimed. A green light shot out from the face and took a swirling funnel shape as music started to play. Hungramps appeared in the light and started to do a little dance, waving out his hands like at a Japanese festival.

"Speedy! Artful! Sing, la-la-la! Everywhere Heartful!"

The music stopped, and Hungramps posed; he stood still with a finger to his lips as drool ran down his mouth.

"Hungramps!" He exclaimed. Rather than falling from the air, he appeared in front of me. He looked around at the mountains of food, and I've never seen anyone else look happier. "T-Thank you, young man!" Hungramps ran to me and took my hands into his, nodding at me with tears in his eyes. "You are indeed a true friend!"

I gave him a thumbs-up and smiled. He returned it and turned away, diving into a hill of fruit pies. I saw wrappers fly everywhere as I closed the door behind me, stepping back into the store. The cashier was busy hitting on a random teenage girl buying a fashion magazine, so it was quite easy for me to get out of the store. I hadn't commited a crime to begin with, I just let a ghost into their stockroom. That's totally legal.

The next morning on TV, there was a news report about how the local Everymart was robbed. However, the employee on shift at the time had failed to activate the security camera, meaning the police had no leads whatsoever. Since no money was taken and no one was injured, the management was satisfied with saying it was likely just a pack of hungry animals that had somehow got into the store and into the stock room unnnoticed.

The cashier was fired.
