Noragami PT 1: Horror at Capypa Land

Hiyori is given a job where she works at a new building in the Capypa Land theme park but there was an animatronic Capypa who begin to look creepy and something goes wrong that makes Yato suspicious of. Trouble is ahead and it looks like the animatronic is alive with a corrupt spirit. Can Yato, Yukine, and Hiyori get to the bottom of things before that animatronic eats every human soul? Find out!

It was summer. Hiyori Iki woke up to see the sun was out and she got ready when she was greeted by her parents at the table. "Good Morning Hiyori." Her mother said. "Morning Mom." Hiyori said. "Honey, did you hear the news? Capypa Land has a restaurant in the theme park and they have help wanted there. Would you like to apply there?" Her mom asked. "Really? They have one, I didn't know that." Hiyori said. "Yes, they have one now. Perhaps you can get a job there." Her father suggested. Hiyori wasn't sure about working there and promised she'll think about it. But when Hiyori met up with her friends; they told her the exact same thing: Capypa Land Diner which was a chain of family entertainment centers and restaurants. Hiyori decided to check it out so she went there and there was a help wanted sign. She went in and saw a worker there, he asked Hiyori if she can work. Hiyori asked if she could have a word with the boss, the boss came out and introduce himself as Hatashita. "So, Miss Iki, will you be available tomorrow?" He asked. Hiyori was shocked, "That's it? No interview?" She asked. "No, you got the job." Hatashita answered. Hiyori was so happy that she thanked him and promise to come by tomorrow. She told her parents as soon as she got home! When she got to her room; Hiyori thought that the guy never gave her information on what was she suppose to do and did her research. There was cleaning tables and wearing the mascot costume, this dreaded Hiyori a bit but she smiled as she found a job out there. "Somebody looks happy." A voice said. Hiyori jumped and looked to see Yato. Hiyori kicked Yato down, "You idiot! You scared me!" She shouted. "Yow! What's with you? I came out and surprise you and this is the thanks I get? It sucks to be a god of being fast and affordable." Yato complained. "Speak for yourself, Mr. Track Suit. Is being fast and affordable on an account to scare girls?" Yukine said with sarcasm. Yato reacted in horror! "Come on, Yato. I just got home. I got a job and I'm really happy about it!" gushed Hiyori, "I didn't get an interview. They just gave me the job. I'm so thrilled!" She was so glad that this made Yukine smile. "Hiyori." Yato said in a serious tone. Hiyori glanced at him, "Yeah?" She asked. Yato looked at her with a solemn look. "Have you been noticing the news reports of missing kids?" He inquired. Hiyori looked at him, "No. Nobody told me about that." She said. "There's disappearances out there?" Yukine asked. "Yes, I don't know what's going on but I think there is something going on with that Hatashita guy." Yato said. "Him? That's crazy! He hasn't done anything. He seems like a nice guy." Hiyori protested. Yato wasn't so sure about Hiyori and this new job. The next day, Hiyori got to meet Hatashita again who told her that her job was to clean the robot and left. So Hiyori did her routine however she was suddenly creeped out by the sight of that animatronic of Capypa staring at her. Turning straight at her which horrified Hiyori as she went and did her business before being told that she was done. And Hiyori left but not before looking back and shivered as that animatronic was still staring at her.

When she got home, Hiyori was so content that she told Yato and Yukine about her job there. Yato was in disbelief, "That's it? You have to clean the robots? And watch them? Sounds boring." He said. "Yeah, what can you do about it?" Hiyori said with a shrug. Yato asked, "So, did anything happen there?" Hiyori was hesitant, "Uh...No, nothing." She lied. Yato smirked at her, "Uh huh. You sure about that?" He said. Hiyori sighed, "OK fine. Something freaky happened." She admitted, "I think one of the robots that resembled Capypa was looking right at me, it was so creepy." Yukine couldn't help but laugh, "Oh come on Hiyori!" He said. "You can't believe that!" Yato wasn't laughing which was odd. "Did it really?" He asked. Hiyori looked at Yato, "What's wrong? You seem calm." She noted. "I have a feeling something is up with that diner at the Capypa Land." answered Yato. Yukine looked at him, Hiyori was horrified. "That can't be!" Hiyori said. "I think it could. I mean, there could be something wrong with that animatronic for sure and also that place." Yato said. Hiyroi was shaken a bit and the thought made her uneasy. Yukine looked at Hiyori with concern, "Hiyori...." He thought. In the middle of the night; she woke up to a sound of a high pitched laugh from outside her house. from afar She knew who that it was, she looked out the window!  There was a dark figure from afar that made Hiyori uneasy by this. She looked away from the window and looked back to see the figure was gone. Hiyori sighed and went back to sleep. The next morning when she got to her job, she noticed that the other employees were staring. They gave her looks and whisper about her when she wasn't looking. "What's with them?" Hiyori thought. Yato glared at the employees who couldn't see him or Yukine so Hiyori went out and did her routine however she was, once again, creeped out by the sight of that animatronic of Capypa smiling at her. Hiyori thought there was a glitch and sprayed it with water but the animatronic begin to squeak. However it turned out fine but it continued to stare at Hiyori. Hiyori didn't understand what was going on. Yato looked at it, he glared at it and Yukine was shocked by this sight. "Hmm, it is alive huh." Yato remarked. "Could you please back off?" Hiyori yelled. "Hiyori, come on! You have to admit, look at it--It looks creepy! How could you want us to back off? Look at it!" Yukine protested. Hiyori nervously glanced at it, that Capypa animatronic was still looking at her! "I think it likes you, but not for the right reasons." Yato said. "Shut up!" Hiyori said angrily.

"Hiyori Iki?" A girl's voice said. Hiyori turned and saw a girl by the name of Ryoko, "Yes?" She asked. "You can take your lunch break now." said Ryoko. She was about to turn when Hiyori calls out, "Miss? I'm sorry to bother you but I haven't done much around here. What's the point of my job anyway?" Ryoko slowly turned to her and said in ominous tone of voice, "Your job is more that meets the eye, Hiyori." She then turned and walked away. Hiyori thought this was strange but Yato knew what that could mean. At lunch, Hiyori ate as she learns that the price for lunch was already paid for a cheap amount. She was amazed but it soon became downhill when another co-worker entered, his name was Takayto and he looked spooked under his glasses as he put his hands on Hiyori's shoulders and said, "Get out of here, Little girl. While you still can, if you care for your life." Then, he turned and left. Hiyori was now scared and confused but Yato knew what that meant. "Hmm....Sounds like there's trouble around here." He muttered. This made Yukine a little freaked out as he glance at the trembling Hiyori. After the second day, Hiyori lied in bed and wondered about the strangeness in the co-workers and what was going on amongst them. She then fell asleep until she woke up to the startling sound of a high pitched laugh from outside her house. She knew who that it was, she looked out the window! She saw that it was a mascot of Capypa Land! It looked right at her and Hiyori jumped back in horror! She panted as she backed away, "Wha--What's going on?" She thought. Hiyori looked out the window and saw the mascot was gone which she breathed a sigh of relief. Yato, from outside, saw the mascot was gone too but he glared at its retreating figure and the laugh it made. "A storm is coming." He thought, "It looks like there's a storm coming at Capypa Land's new restaurant." On the third day, Hiyori went to work but was shocked to see the police at the Capypa Land Diner and asked the officer what was going on. She heard that somebody stole one of the animatronics from the diner. Hiyori was troubled by this, Yato and Yukine heard this from afar as Yato said: "Stole? Yeah right." Yukine looked at him, "What do you mean?" He asked. "I mean, I don't think somebody was strong enough to take those." Yato said, "If they had tools, it would be tricky but it looked like the animatronic went away on its own." Yukine shivered, "Stop creeping me out." He snapped. "Sorry, I just...Nothing, sounds crazy for an animatronic to leave by itself huh." Yato said. At night, Hiyori try to sleep but she was freaking out however she managed to after calming herself down. She woke up as she got a phone call but she decided not to answer, however a message was left on her phone and she decides to answer it. The person who left the voice mail message was Hatashita: "Miss Iki...I am so sorry, this is nothing personal but.....you must understand, we needed you.....We needed someone.....He's getting more ravenous, Hiyori. He needs to eat more or else.....Listen well, Hiyori Iki, your sacrifice will not be in vain nor forgotten. Please, we only do this to please him and save humanity. We can't kill it, we only make him angry....If we don't feed it, we only wanted him to consume only backstage but now he's on the run. I am so sorry, Hiyori."

After the voice mail was done; Hiyori thought this was all a joke and decides to call the police. As she dialed the number, she looked in horror to see the animatronic in her room. She was scared that she managed to open the window and look back to see the thing opened its mouth as it slowly moved towards her. Hiyori jumped out the window, she was out of her body but Yato caught her body as they both escaped with Yukine with them. "See Hiyori, it does like you but for the wrong reasons!" Yato said. "Why does it want me?" Hiyori asked. "The disappearances....This animatronic.....These people who are your co workers......Something is up with all of this....." panted Yato. Later; Hiyori got back in her body and went back to her house where she saw the police was there as well as her parents. Hiyori told them that a man in a Capypa costume had trapped her in her room and she escaped from the window. The police decided to investigate the diner and searched it only to find a horrifying sight of mutilated bodies of the missing teens were backstage. The Capypa Diner was shut down however the scariest thing was that the animatronic was still out there!

And was still on the loose....



"Aw, Poor Yori! I never knew that you were part of all that! You poor thing!" Kofuku said, hugging Hiyori. Daikoku, who brought in food shook his head, "I can't believe those humans would do something like this." He remarked. "I feel like something was amiss but I couldn't be sure, is that animatronic possessed? Or are the workers controlling it and are delusional to think that it's out of control?" Hiyori said. "Possessed is a good word to describe it." Yato said. "So, what do we do now?" Yukine asked. "Simple, we're going back inside that closed down diner and confront that monster." Yato answered. "WHAT?! NO WAY!" Yukine said, backing away. "Listen well, Yukine, as my Regalia, you will do as I say!" Yato said, pointing a finger at him. "I won't do it! Forget it!" Yukine protested. Hiyori pound her friends on their heads and scolded at them, "YOU GUYS ARE GOING THERE BY YOURSELVES?! YOU! AREN'T GOING THERE.....!" Yato and Yukine bowed their heads in disappointment. Kofuku gasped. Daikoku sighed. But Hiyori smiled and said in a normal voice, "Without me." Yato and Yukine looked up at her, "WHAT?!" They cried. Kofuku cheered, "YAY!!!!" Daikoku was surprised but he soon smiled, Hiyori grinned at the boys. "I would never let you two deal with this alone. I want to find out more about all of this." She answered. Yato smiled, "Good to hear." He said. Yukine beamed, "Awesome!" He replied. Hiyori slipped out of her body and went with Yato and Yukine, Hiyori's body was to stay at Kofuku's shrine for protection if that animatronic were to wander around the shop. The three friends went off to the close down diner, looking outside at it. "Man, it looks so creepy. You sure you want to do this?" Hiyori asked. "Positive. We are going to end this once and for all." Yato confirmed. "I don't like the looks of this." Yukine remarked. Hiyori put her arms around her blonde haired friend, "It'll be OK." She said. 

Yato then pulled out a tape recorder and smiled like a nerd, "Maybe we can catch some strange activity, huh?" He said. His friends gave him a weird look, "You really are weird, aren't you?" They both said. Yato let out an 'Ack' as he turned white but recovers and says, "ALL RIGHT! LET'S GO!" Yato, Hiyori, and Yukine sneaked inside the building after pick-pocketing the back door opened. As they got inside, Hiyori wrinkled her nose. "Whoa! It stinks in here." She retorted. "That explains the corpses of the bodies." Yato said. He looked around and saw the bodies were gone. "Guess the police took care of it, there aren't any around here." Yato replied. The three walked from the back to the halls and looked around the arcade and all the other places such as the kitchen, the dining place, and the stage. Yato used his bought tape recorder and turned it on, "Fast and affordable Yato with his friends, his Regalia and his fair maiden as we explore the wonders around this area." He said dramatically. "Will you put that away?!" Hiyori demanded. "Aww come on, Hiyori! I want to catch some on--" Yato protested but they were interrupted by a snarling sound. Yato whirled around, "Did you hear that?" He said softly. "Wha--What was that?" Hiyori stammered. "Aww man! Is that the animatronic?" Yukine said. "One way to find out, c'mon!" Yato said. The trio move into the direction that the sound was coming from: The play place area. "Hmm, I don't see anythign around here." Yato commented. "It was so scary, what could it be?" Hiyori asked. Yukine then peered over and could see a little girl. "Wait guys! Look, there's a kid here!" He said, he walked over to the child. "Yukine, come back!" Hiyori called. But Yukine said, "I just want to see if the kid is OK." He approached the child and touch his or her shoulder, "Hey kid, what are you doing here....?" He started to inquired. But as the child whirled around, the child had pinkish red eyes and a demonic appearance as it growled, "Smells nice....Smells nice...." Yukine jumped back. Yato pulled him aside and the three friends ran into another room with a huge window and shut the door, locking it. They turn off the lights outside and in as they huddled in that room, panting out of breath! "What....were you....thinking?" Yato gasped for air. "I...I'm sorry....I didn't know..." Yukine protested between breaths. Yato had shut off his recorder and sighed, "Well! We're safe for now." He said. "You think? You think that kid is still out there?!" Hiyori protested. 

"It'll be all right." Yato promised. Then, they heard a tapping at the window. It was so dark that Hiyori had to turn on the lights but was startled to see that Capypa animatronic was there with possessed children. The children had eerie smiles and Hiyori turned off the lights. She backed away back to her friends as Yato looked at the window, "He has possessed kids? What the hell?" He rasped angrily. "What is becoming of Capypa Land?" Yukine whimpered. "Now this place is going to be a nightmare! It won't be such a happy place with all of this going around." Hiyori said. "No doubt about it, not until we put a stop to this." Yato said. They waited for a while and are unsure to get to the outside but once turning on the lights outside, there was no one there. The trio opened the door and looked around, the coast was clear! They slipped out and made their way to the staff room. It was dark and damp but it reeked badly like in the back. "Aww! It smells like dead animals in here!" groaned Yukine, covering his mouth and nose. Hiyori felt nauseating, even Yato was disgusted. "It's no good, this is where the other bodies were hiding." He said. Hiyori's eyes bulged wide in terror! "B--b--bodies?" She whispered. Yato moved the mascot's head and sure enough, there was something of piles of something stuffed in there. Yukine held in his breath, Yato was shocked, and Hiyori almost fainted. "What. Is. This." Yato said. "I--I don't believe it....!" Hiyori sobbed. "Who are these people? What is going on?!" Yukine demanded. 

In that instant; Hiyori then felt someone was behind her so she slowly turned around, the Capypa animatronic was there and it opened its mouth and screamed. It grabbed onto Hiyori, who squirmed before she kicked it as she shouted: "Jungle High Kick!" The animatronic fell backwards but eyes pop from its sockets of a familiar pinkish red color and the words were: "Sssssmmmelllssss nnnnniiiiiiiicccccccceeeee!" Hiyori was horrified, "What the--? It is possessed!" Hiyori cried. "I knew it! There was a corrupt spirit in that animatronic after all! It was inside of it!" Yato said. "So, what do we do?" Yukine said. "We cut the head off and find the source. Then we eliminate it." Yato said. "Or I can kick the head off and you finish it!" suggested Hiyori. "Can you do that?" Yato asked. Hiyori nodded, Yato glance at her and said, "All right." Then he called out to Yukine: "COME! SEKKI!" Yukine's symbol glowed and he turned into the twin swords. Hiyori fought the possessed animatronic and managed to kick its head off! She saw a swarm of corrupt spirits from inside the animatronic, causing it to move inside of it! "I found it, take it down Yato!" Hiyori shouted. "OK, Yukine!" Yato said, "You know what to do!" Yukine nodded, "Right!" The corrupt spirtis growled and snarled. It was then Yato raises his swords and announced, "This is the Land of the Rising Sun! Your desecration shall not be allowed! Hear me! I am the god Yato! I now lay thee waste with the Sekki, and expel thy vast defilement! I cleanse thee!" And then, he said, "REND!!!" He eliminated the corrupt spirits and took care of it. The animatronic was no longer possessed. 

"Ah, I'm glad that's over!" Hiyori sighed. "Let's get rid of the pieces in the mascot and make this place nice." Yato said. "Really? I think I like that!" Yukine said. And so they did but they need to find the people and how they got a corrupt spirit amongst them in this place. At Bishamon's mansion, Lady Bishamon bathed in the springs when Kazuma made his report on trouble at Capypa Land's diner that was shut down. "Did Yato took care of it?" She asked. "Yes, he did." Kazuma confirmed. "I see." Bishamon remarked, "You may go now Kazuma. Report to me for any new information." Kazuma nodded, "I will do so, m'lady." And he went away. He was going to pay a visit to Yato and his friends once more and found out what really went on!
