Tale one
Yuki Onna
(mukashi mukashi, or "Once upon a time"), there was a handsome young man named Minokichi, traveling with his master in the middle of a snowstorm. The snow was falling so hard, and they were really exhausted, so they decided to take shelter in an old, abandoned hut.
That evening, while they were sleeping, a draft of cold wind swept into the hut. This woke Minokichi up, and he was surprised to see a beautiful young lady with long black hair, skin as white as the snow, and a white, flowing kimono, hovering over his unconscious master. Her beautiful face was an inch away from his master's face, and it seems like she was blowing an icy breath onto his mouth.
She then proceeded to approach Minokichi. She floated towards him with a terrifying and deadly cold expression on her face, but when she got close enough to see the young man's handsome face, she stopped and her facial expression somewhat softened. She stared at him, and after a few moments, she spoke, "I shall spare you, but you must promise me that you will never speak of this incident ever again, or you shall end up like him".
A confused Minokichi nervously answered, "Yes, yes, I promise!"
This was the last thing he remembered that night, for afterwards, he fell unconscious. The next day, he was terrified to find his master dead and cold. Minokichi then went to a nearby town to continue his life, trying hard to forget that fateful night.
Years later, he met an extremely beautiful young lady, whose name was Oyuki. They became friends, then lovers, until they decided to get married.
Minokichi treasured Oyuki with all of his heart, loving her more than anything else in the world, and together they produced a wonderful family with beautiful and intelligent children.
Oyuki stayed young-looking and beautiful through the years. One night, while their children were sleeping, Minokichi took notice of this while looking at her face and told her,
"My beautiful Oyuki, you remind me of an incident that happened to me long ago. I was traveling with my master when we were attacked by a beautiful but deadly spirit of a lady with an icy breath one night, killing my master. She was very terrifying, but your face resembles her supernatural beauty."
Upon hearing this, Oyuki stood up and floated in the air, her eyes welling with tears and anger. "That woman was me! You broke your promise! But I cannot kill you because of our children! I cannot be with you anymore. Take good care of our children."
With this, Oyuki, the Yuki-onna(or snow lady), vanished and was never seen again. -

A young boy cried as he hopelessly wandered a rugged mountain. He had been sent by his father to pick up medicine in the next town, but he had stepped off the beaten path. He looked for the trail and walked through the woods... But no matter which way he went, he never found a thing. Everything looked so similar... The boy sat down and began to cry profusely.. He heard twigs snap, and he looked up to see a beautiful woman.
The boy was glad to see another person! He was about to ask for help... But something was wrong.. As the woman got closer she grew six more legs...
