Asa let out a small hum, recalling all the things she did in the past. “Ever since I came here, I usually assist Reiji with some problems… he already has too much on his hands, his brothers being one of them.”
“The work I do is… complicated at the very least.” Asa tries to explain, hiding her callused hands. There was nothing wrong with her hands, Asa knows that, but if anyone looks closely… they are calluses that would form when holding guns.
Asa lets out a sigh and closes the door. “You’re right, maybe we should find another place to hide-.” Before Asa could finish, Ayato was already in front of them.
“I'm just another vampire, Nunnally.” Asa explained while looking through her pockets. “There is nothing to be so amazed at, especially when I had to deal with Ayato and the others for a long time. Asa let out a smile as she opened the door to Reiji’s room. “You can hide here if you wish, I'll handle the mess and Ayato. It's just another day here.”
“Dint witty, I’ll come back”

“Oh, don’t worry Asa…Reiji…Reiji is my favourite older brother and he will definitely shelter me…us from Ayato’s unjustified wrath.” – Nunnally was almost yelling at Asa when she pulled the other girl along – “Oh no!” – she exclaimed in a worrying voice when she discovered the lab’s door were locked – “What shall we do? What shall we do now? We need to find Reiji.” – she suddenly stopped when Asa muttered about cleaning the kitchen – “Why…why would you do that? You don’t have to. Things will be taken care of later. The mess is nothing for you to deal with.”
Tumblr media
Nunnally looked at Asa and then a realization hit her: --
“You are not really afraid of Ayato, are you? What are you really Asa?”

“Ok... But he might be busy, Nunnally.” Asa said as they made their way to Reiji’s lab, Nunnally was running as fast as she could while Asa just walked. When the pair finally closed the door to the lab and locked it, Asa let out a relieved sigh. “I have to clean the kitchen after this is over...” Asa muttered, feeling another migraine.
Running through the corridors of the Sakamaki manor, Nunnally heard the screams of Ayato following her. “Good!” – she thought to herself – “He got what he deserved. He will not be forcing me to cook again.”
Taking another corner, she saw Asa walking slowly the corridor. “It would not be good if she run into mad Ayato” – Nunnally thought and running close to her, without stopping, she grabbed Asa’s ahnd and started to pull her with her.
“Run! There is mad Ayato after me. We have to hide. To Reiji’s lab. Quickly!”
@lured-into-wonderland
Asa thought nothing of Ayato’s screams, brushing it off as another day in the Sakamaki manor as she walked down the hallways. Hearing footsteps coming towards her, Asa turned around to find Nunnally grabbing her hand and dragging her to Reiji’s lab. “Nunnally? What happened? What did you do?” Asa questioned, confused as to why the girl wanted to drag her to Reiji’s lab of all places.

“Well… some of them told me that they wanted to visit loved ones before they depart for good. You could say that I grant them a final wish.” Asa explained to Nunnally as best as she could as she started to recall the vague faces of the souls before. They would plead before her, asking if she could bring them back but to no avail. Alas, no matter what Asa did, the dead stayed dead.
Asa knew that what she did would only bring little comfort to those whose lives were stolen by others, but to her, it was better than nothing.
Smiling, Asa looked at Nunnally with a bit of fondness in her eyes.
“It’s alright, there’s nothing that you should apologize for,” Asa assured Nunnally. Yet at the same time, she was curious about the girl before her. ‘She calls that man father...yet in all the decades of living in the Sakamaki Manor, I’ve never seen her once, she hasn’t even seen me as well.’ Asa thought to herself.
Worried that she might upset Nunnally further, Asa gave Nunnally another comforting smile. “I see, I do hope to see you again. Take care on your way back, and stay safe.” As Nunnally’s walked back, Asa waved the girl a friendly goodbye before departing herself with the violin case on her back.

“No, I do not really feed on souls. That is more complicated. But I can hurt them. Make them disappear and yet exist forever in pain…but I do not need to do that. It just happens.” – Nunnally did not really feel like explaining everything to Asa – “How about you? Do you take care of souls or just lure them to you?”
The girl was grateful that Asa was trying to console her. Her touch was nice and smoothing. Nunnally’s aura remained dark for a longer while, but then started to fade away. Nunnally seemed relax till the moment when Asa introduced herself. Then she stiffened and pulled away. She looked at her from half closed eyes uncertain what she should say.
“So, you are in my father’s custody.” – she finally said – “Nice to meet you, Asa.” – was she really pleased? Nunnally did not know. Usually, she was not allowed to meet her father’s…well, she was not sure what to call them...adopted children? – “I hardly ever meet persons that my father takes care of. Apart from my brothers, of course. So, I do apologize for my confusions. Are you staying in the manor or in the castle?”

A/N: My oh my, how will we manage??
“Oh… I see.” Asa mused to herself. “Well, I started seeing the dead when I was younger, it was hard to decipher who was alive or dead unless that person died a gruesome death. With time, I was able to control the dead and I can keep them here in this world for longer to an extent. As for where they go after they fade… I never knew where they went.”
Asa pulled her hand back from Nunnally as she watched the girl stiffen under her touch. She even noticed how conflicted Nunnally seemed toward her. “As for your question, I have never visited the castle in the Demon World and I’m staying in the manor currently with the Sakamaki brothers,” Asa replied as she was watching Nunnally carefully, she was worried that explaining anything further would cause even more confusion.
While pondering her thoughts, Asa even wonders if she should try and explain her situation to Nunnally.

Thanks for the tag, @lured-into-wonderland!!
Asa, PEACE
"i survived because the fire in me burned brighter than the fire around me." // oh, little soldier, how long have you been at war with yourself? how much of yourself have you lost to the fire that's made its home in your heart? oh, but who can blame you? for as long as you can remember, you've had to face the world alone. all bared teeth and bloody knuckles. you learned young the only person you could rely on was yourself, didn't you? learned that the others would leave you to the wolves? and so you learned how to fight, how to stand tall even if you stood alone, how to shed the softness that wounded you before. but that isn't very sustainable, is it? the embers you swallowed, the fire you cloaked yourself in, it doesn't just burn the world around you. you have watched piece after piece of you go up in smoke: your hope, your smile, your mercy. what you seek is an end to the seemingly endless burning. and, little phoenix, you deserve it. please, breathe out. lean on me. the world isn't as cruel as you've made it out to be: it is okay to stop fighting. it is okay to let go of that anger. there is so much more to you, so much more that you have. the serenity you seek can be granted, but only once you are willing to work on letting go of the hate you've harbored for so long now.
Akemi, ACCEPTANCE
"i look in the mirror and don't recognize the face staring back." // oh, little songbird, when did you stop singing? why do you let yourself fade into the background, so sure you're not worth seeing? who convinced you that you are nothing but empty air? for as long as you can remember, you've screamed at the sky to be noticed, to be seen, but that never quite worked, did it? so you accepted your role. you learned to bite your tongue, to watch, to fade away. it's easier that way, isn't it? better quiet than ignored. at least this way, you have some control over the situation. but it stings, doesn't it? the more you quiet yourself, the more you force yourself to fade away, the harder it is to reach you. you're losing yourself...and that terrifies you, doesn't it? what you seek is acceptance, to be seen and loved and listened to. and, little ghost, you deserve it. you are worth knowing. i see you. now let others do the same. step into the sunlight and sing, little one. i believe in you.
Amaya, FORGIVENESS
"what should i apologize for; what i am or what i'm not?" // oh, little hero, how close are you to crumbling under the weight on your shoulders? how heavy has that heart of yours gotten? how deeply has the guilt burrowed into your bones? how permanently has the grief been seared into your soul? you were so tender, and the world so cruel. loss after loss after loss, each another chip on your shoulder. because you deserved it, didn't you? if you could be better...faster...stronger...smarter...then maybe it wouldn't have happened. right? the blood stains your hands, and it won't wash out will it? but darling, it's never been your fault. you've learned to turn the rage and the regret, the guilt and the grief, inwards. if you're hurt, it's your own fault isn't it? because then there's a reason for it, because it gives you some semblance of control, doesn't it? what you seek is forgiveness, for your perceived wrongs. but oh, little skeleton, you do not need it. stop blaming yourself for what was beyond your control. let go of the past. grow. and learn to breathe with both of your lungs. stop choking on your own self hatred. the weight will ease, i promise. i love you.
Hmmm, I tag @secretarykang, @mariicake, @summercreolefanfictioner, @ofstormsandsaints, and @gingerall!
What are you seeking?
Tumblr media
FORGIVENESS
"What should I apologize for; what I am or what I'm not?"
Oh, little hero, how close are you to crumbling under the weight on your shoulders? How heavy has that heart of yours gotten? How deeply has the guilt burrowed into your bones? How permanently has the grief been seared into your soul? You were so tender, and the world so cruel. Loss after loss after loss, each another chip on your shoulder. Because you deserved it, didn't you? If you could be better... faster... stronger... smarter... then maybe it wouldn't have happened. Right? The blood stains your hands, and it won't wash out will it? –But darling, it's never been your fault. You've learned to turn the rage and the regret, the guilt and the grief, inwards. If you're hurt, it's your own fault isn't it? Because then there's a reason for it, because it gives you some semblance of control, doesn't it?

Amaya pondered over Ruki’s question before giving him a reassuring smile. “Hmmm… About a few people wanted to play that Pocky game with me. I refused their offers though, even if the game looked quite fun.” Amaya replied and took a bite out of a pocky stick, munching on it.
“To be fair, the pocky game only looks fun to watch when other people do it. I certainly don’t want to kiss someone I don’t have feelings for.” Amaya chattered, reminiscing the moments when she watched her classmates play the pocky game.
“Well, at least we get to have free snacks, I’m not that picky with food.” Amaya chuckled while shaking the box of pocky in her hand before she turned to face Ruki with a small smile on her face.
“Also… thanks for checking up on me… I mean, my sisters watch over me and I also watch over them… but it’s nice to know you were also concerned.” Amaya added as a small smile curved up her lips.
Tumblr media
🍫 for Amaya
“Say, Ruki, do you want to have some pocky?” Amaya asked holding up a box of pocky between her fingers. “Akemi gave me some of the pocky that she got from our classmates, haha, they’re incredibly stubborn about winning her over.” Amaya laughed as she carefully opened the box of confectionery and continued to speak.
“They even wanted to play the pocky game with her which she refused. You should have seen their faces.” Amaya giggled as she handed the open box of pocky to Ruki for him to get some pocky.
IT’S POCKY DAY! SEND MY MUSE A 🍫 TO SHARE A BOX WITH THEM.
"What a desperate lot they are if they're resorting to Pocky to win your sister's affection," the eldest Mukami scoffed with a dismissive laugh, "but I suppose humans will cling to any excuse for a kiss from someone they admire. I've only witnessed stupid couples and hopeless lovebirds engaging in the act, though if you simply wish to share a quick snack, then I can't refuse."
With slight hesitance, Ruki reached over to pull out a singular stick of Pocky from the pack the pureblood offered to him. First, he glanced down at the chocolate end before putting it in his mouth as a familiar sweet taste suffused him. Although he much preferred dark over milk chocolate, a half-smile grew on the Vampire's lips as he finished taking one bite, turning to face Amaya again with a look of gratitude.
"Many thanks. It's unlike me to indulge in sweets like this—other than blood, of course—but I do appreciate it."
Tilting his head to the side ever so slightly, a certain curiosity gnawed at him. One out of concern, first and foremost, but he had to ask nonetheless. The pleasant expression he wore soon deescalated to that of a cautious frown.
"Akemi aside, did anyone try to play the Pocky game with you, Amaya? I know some of our classmates are rather... Ambitious, and that's putting it lightly. Fortunately for myself, most unwanted suitors already got the memo that I don't take kindly to such advances."

Asa tilted her head to the side in confusion over Nunnally’s statement. “You feed on the souls? I’ve never… heard of that. The souls I have watched over the years merely faded in time into nothing… I never knew where they went after.” Asa pondered, rubbing Nunnally’s back in hopes to soothe her as she looked at the dark aura around her with a worried look in her face.
“Ah, I haven’t introduced myself either, my apologies once again.” Asa apologized and gave Nunnally a light bow. “I am the eldest triplet amongst my sisters, Sakamaki Asa. I was taken in by Karlheinz decades ago and I can see the dead for a long time. It’s good to see you, Nunnally.” Lifting her head to meet Nunnally’s eyes, Asa gave her a small smile.
Tumblr media
Asa was testing the strings out on her violin, the graveyard around her was quiet as it can be, with the faint whispers of the dead.
Just about when Asa held the violin on her neck, she heard a twig snap. ‘A ghost can’t interact with the living world’ she thought to herself. Asa carefully placed the violin into its case and closed it. “Hello? Is anyone there?”
Tumblr media
Nunnally could not sleep. She sneaked out from the manor to enjoy the night and the moon.  She was walking without any goal just to enjoy the night breeze. As expected, the blond girl soon got lost and wandered into the graveyard, where she heard – as she thought – the soft sounds of the violin. She smiled softly. She liked to play music herself but had not done it for a while. Whether consciously or not, hard to say, she followed the music to be only to see Asa and her instrument. And heard the question obviously directed at her.
“Don’t worry…” – she giggled – “I am not a ghost. But the sound of the violin has called me here. I was not expecting anyone playing music in the graveyard. Although it seems a suitable place for some kind of the music.” – she said coming towards Asa - "What were you planning to play?"

After hearing Nunnally’s cries, Asa immediately stopped playing and the whispers stopped completely, and the souls returned. Asa looked at Nunnally with worry in her eyes as she tried to soothe the girl.
“… Are you okay?” Asa asked carefully, putting her violin aside to reach out toward Nunnally to give her a handkerchief to wipe her tears away. “I guess you mustn’t stay here, you’re clearly shaken… do you want me to accompany you back home?”

Asa tapped her fingers against the violin case in quick rhythm, curious about the girl in front of her. “Well, I usually play what comes to mind.” Asa replied, her cheeks were flushed pink from the cold.
Slowly, Asa opened the case and retrieved the violin, her fingers brushing against the wood. “Hmmm, Chopin sounds good tonight, you could stay and listen if you wish.”
Raising the violin to her neck, Asa started to play. The sound of Chopin Nocturne filled the air around them and a faint blue mist surrounded the both of them. As Asa continues to play, her eyes slowly glowed a lighter shade of blue, Nunnally could start to hear the whispers and sighs of the departed.

My aura is Periwinkle, cute!
knit hats, candies, tiny flowers, beads, teacups, washi tape, clouds. your essence is periwinkle: you are patient and centered in your self. you are gifted, but in no rush; your dreams are large enough that they'll take time to climb. independent and meticulous, you create your own security. you are the crafter. you are the thorough. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of mauve, indigo, lilac, and sky, who share your sense of expression. you are also drawn to the impassioned souls pearl and tawny, who will help you grow and motivate you to complete projects. however, you may struggle to get along with the uncommitted personalities of coral and ashen who have no singular core desire.

blooming flowers, butterflies, sunsets, text messages, hair dye, auroras, neon lights. your essence is orchid: you are the brightest smile and strongest heart. you inspire those around you; unconsciously, you exist for their purpose, not your own. continue to seek the limelight though do not lie just for their applause. you are the host. you are the performer. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of lavender, amethyst, pink, and purple, who share your boldness. you are also drawn to the practical wine and chiffon, who will help you grow and let you take things one step at a time. however, you may struggle to get along with the analytical personalities of chartreuse and honey who don’t get swept up in your ambitions.

A/N: I hope for the best for you too! Being shadowbanned sucks and I hope your shadowban doesn’t last long. Oh, I was wondering if it’s ok if this has a continuation of sorts. You don’t need to rush, take your time! @ruki--mukami
Amaya looked at Ruki with a shocked expression when he finished talking. “Indifferent? My sisters??” Amaya laughed as if that was the most ridiculous thing she ever heard. Well, she can’t blame Ruki since he wasn’t wrong about the Sakamaki brothers having weak family bonds. Ever since she arrived in the Sakamaki household in the 1930s, Amaya always noticed there was always a bit of tension here and there.
“No no no you’re mistaken, Ruki. My sisters were just busy when I first met you, that’s why you couldn’t see them.” Amaya explained, slowly facing the man in front of her, a smile still on her face. “We’re actually very close, despite the fact we have been separated for…”
Tumblr media
“Hmm, I can’t seem to remember how long we have been separated. Ah well, we’re together now so that doesn’t matter.” the girl mumbled to herself, dangling her long legs on the bench. A silence enveloped the pair as they proceeded to read, the only noises that could be heard is Amaya reading a few lines to herself and the pages being turned.
While the pair were reading their respective books Amaya saw a glimpse of azure blue fire, smiling at the familiarity of it. Chuckling, she tapped Ruki’s shoulder, interrupting him from his reading session. “Speak of the devil, I think that’s one of my sisters. Aure- I mean, Akemiiii! We’re right here!“
In less than a second, a blonde-haired girl appeared in front of them, soft flames framed her face, and her eyes glow an intense blue as she stared down at her youngest sister and the charcoal-haired man next to her, unfazed by the blue fire that licks at her face, showing no signs of burning.
Tumblr media
“Ah, so this is where you have been!” Akemi exclaimed as the flames disappeared in an instant. “You kept on disappearing left and right, you trickster!” Akemi feigned anger as she pinches Amaya’s cheek, relief seeping into her bones.
Tumblr media
Akemi adverted her gaze to Ruki and gave him a light bow while greeting him. “You must be Ruki, is that right? I’m Amaya’s older sister, Akemi, she mentioned you a few times. It’s good to see you.”
A/N: Damn, I can’t believed you got shadowbanned too- let’s hope they will respond to you as quickly as possible, I have yet to hear from my end. Take care!!!
Amaya stood in shock over the events from yesterday. “Huh… to think you too are in the shadows. You really are in a pickle, Ruki.” she muttered to herself as she stepped towards Ruki and sat next to him, just a few inches away so they wouldn’t touch.
Tumblr media
“Well to be fair, me and my sisters are residing somewhere else to wait for things to clear up on our end.” Amaya pondered, a finger pressed to her lips.
Fumbling with her bag, Amaya carefully withdrew two books covered in a plastic bag. “So while we wait for the day of retribution for both of us how about I read with you? Here, this one is called Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa, it’s really nice.”
It was dark but you could still see a faint outline of a moth as Amaya let out a small huff out her lips, yet it disappeared just as quickly. “Let’s hope that this is merely temporary and that this shadow can be lifted before Christmas.” Amaya smiled, waving a poetry book in her hands, showing the book she’s going to read.
It was called ‘The witch doesn’t burn in this one’ by Amanda Lovelace.
Tumblr media
“You…” the Vampire began, somewhat surprised to see that he wasn’t alone, “you’re here as well, I see. Well, I suppose there are worse people I could be stuck with. Only a joke, of course. As eccentric as you are, I’m pleased to see you, Amaya. Though I can’t possibly think of why we would be exiled to some umbral and dreary place such as this.” 
Tumblr media
For a moment, he nearly had to stifle a chuckle seeing that Amaya learned her lesson from last time and maintained a respectable distance. The eldest Mukami certainly despised sudden touch, but he abhorred containment even more than any unsolicited contact. A way to escape this place occupied all his thoughts, from leaving unscathed to ensuring the safety of the pureblood before him. 
“Ah, that’s right. My brothers must be worried for my whereabouts right about now… How troublesome. I can only assume your sisters might be rather indifferent. Vampires like the Sakamakis were never known for their strong family bonds, after all. That’s where my brothers and I excel above the rest,” he smirked, glancing down at the rummaging of her bag. “At least you came prepared. Sweet Bean Paste—I can’t say I’ve read it, but I’ve certainly heard of it. It looks like I’m in for a treat.”
Genuine enthusiasm amidst the flood of worry suffused his chest as Amaya revealed the book to him. Given the darkness that shrouded them, Ruki internally thanked his supernatural sight. Reading in the shadows, albeit somewhat of a hindrance, wouldn’t have any dire effects on his eyes.
“Christmas…? That’s far too long from here. No, I intend to escape before Halloween if we’re discussing frivolous human traditions. We haven’t the time to waste…” he sighed indignantly. “Good grief… You are awfully patient and understanding about this, Amaya. Doesn’t it upset you? As eager as I am to read a new book if it’ll help us while away the time, I can’t just sit by and allow this to happen to us. It’s mortifying. In any case, the book you’re holding seems quite interesting. If we’re still confined here by the time we finish, I’d like to trade books with you once I’m done with Sukegawa’s work.”
Tumblr media
🧩 Oh dear, I hope yours gets resolved ASAP. :( Us shadowbanned people have to stick together, hahaha. Thank you so much for sending Amaya to him, he may be stubborn but he actually really appreciates her company during these hard times. Also maybe I’m awful for laughing at this, but I think it’s cute how they’re like… “confined” together, HAHAHA. What a great way to bond 😭 but in all seriousness, I hope for the best for you and I as well as anyone else affected by this. 🧩
