Keeping Up With Seijoh Pt. 10
a/n: based on this post uwu
okayokayokayyeyyy
Tumblr media
LOOOK I LOVE THIS SCENE LIKE I CAN GO ON A RANT OF HOW IMPORTANT THIS SCENE IS LIKE SKDJSLDKKSSM
okay so
yuhhhhhh
the way this is set up is basically seijoh simping for you
also they have their own separate gc just for them bc they dont want you to see them just simping for you
even tho oiks ltr does that everyday
but hes not ready for that conversation
there was a few times that you were kinda curious as to what was in the chat
but they would click off and they would blush before diverting you to a different conversation
this might sound hella weird and creepy
idk bout yall but i think its cute that they take random pictures of you doing the sinplest things
this all started bc of one picture
from baby aki-kun
so basically you stayed behind with kunimi during monday to just study and you sat in front of him while sharing his desk
babie took a pic of you just studying and he sent it to the gc with no context
its a known fact that seijoh doesnt practice during mondays so they were all doing something out of school
but they were all missing you so seeing you with kunimi fueled jealousy in everyone
even kyo
oikawa blew up in the chat and was keyboard smashing
the others were just teasing him like hes lucky youre with him
but behind the screen, they were blushing and red and envious and AAAAA
thus spurred on some sort of competition
like they would send the chat pictures of you like 'hA TAKE THAT SHES WITH ME'
unbeknowst to you, these boys have folders of just cute candid pics of you
oikawas insta is filled of you and his snap is full of you in his story and his tiktok is full of screaming simp rants about you
the tiktok comments are all like, 
‘IS SHE YOUR GIRLFRIEND?!’
‘OIKAWA-SAN SHES ADORABLE’
‘BACK🤺OFF🤺OIKAWA🤺I🤺CALLED🤺DIBS🤺ON🤺HER🤺FIRST🤺‘
random ones like him doing a day in my life type of vids and you appearing and everyone can just see the small blush on his face and the bashful yet happy smile on his lips
its really adorable
but the real ones know that shes been appearing in his insta since day 1
moilk.bread.1
thats practically your account now 
welll,,,
its more of a fan account for you and a lot of people from aoba johsai follow that account since you dont have an official one yet so they all simp for you there
the pictures were all from everyone like the boyz group chat was a haven for your candids
you did think it was strange that the boys would constantly ask to take pictures with you and everyone was just trying to get a pic to have aesthetic couple pics w you
and they would put it as their wallpaper or lockscreen
IMAGINE THE BLUSH THEY WOULD GET WHEN COMPLETE STRANGERS WOULD ASK THEM IF THATS THEIR GIRLFRIEND
oooo i mentioned this in the post too that iwa and you went to the gym and you guys took a mirror pic
after, you didnt really like the gym bc its just hard yanno?
iwa went back and while he was setting up his weights and equipments, his gym buddy noticed his phone light up causing your picture to show up
'oh? is that your girlfriend, iwaizumi?'
duh he doesnt have a girlfriend so he was like 🤨 until he saw his phone
the lockscreen was blaringly bright and your 'couple pic' was showing with the notifications
totally not oikawa blowing up their group chat bc he was with you
ofc babie hajime got all flustered and he blushed before shaking his head
'n-no'
he mumbled and his buddy laughed before clapping his back
'well, you obviously like her so do somethinf about it before someone does'
dont you think he doesnt know that?
also with mattsun!
this mans works in a cute cafe that this old granny owns and this thought has been living in my head rent free
and he was working during the weekend at the cafe
there were other people there but granny loves him bc hes been working there sibce he was like 15 and she took care of him a lot
he was like a grandson
so while he was serving, this granny was manning the cashier and checking people out
issei's phone was there on the table behind the counter and it started glowing at the indication of the messages being received
'have a nice day-oh!'
she noticed it right there and she saw the picture on his lockscreen
you were probably being carried by him due to your levelness with his height and you were kissing his cheek while issei smiled brightly
that was a picture you both took during an outing at the mall and the sunset behind you was just perfect to take a picture in
poor granny was like 'oop dont look at the messages' so she turned it over to not go to his privacy
there again you were
it was a polaroid of you two and he was backhugging you at school
hint? 👀
askldfjlsdkf
she knew issei was a very handsome young man so there shouldnt have been a surprise that he would be dating someone
can we name this granny?
granny inko lol
okay so granny inko saw issei coming over to rest the serving board thing and she beckoned him over
mattsun nodded and leaned over the counter to see what she wanted only to be greeted with a flick to the forehead
‘oW what was that for?’
he whined while holding the spot
granny inko tutted disapprovingly before crossing her arms
‘youve been working all week this week when you could’ve taken time off to spend it with your pretty lady. is this how men are nowadays? didn’t i teach you right to treat women properly?’
duh baby mattsun was confused like O_O
‘wha?’
his dumb question made her grab the phone and place it on the counter in front of him
‘your girlfriend, child. women need attention constantly and as much as you want that money, is it worth losing that smile full of happiness?’
okay stop it granny im getting emotional
more like disagreeing bc that wouldnt put food on the table BUT ANYWAYS
baby issei was surprisingly embarassed and scratched his neck
‘um,, baa-chan,,,,, she’s not my girlfriend’
he flustered and gave her an awkward smile
granny inko shot him a confused look and tapped the phone
‘well, she looks like she is. and if not, better hurry your move, boy. girls that make men happy like that only comes as rare as a good scratch ticket’
LMAO 
i do not encourage gambling so please save your money kids
you know what
these boys do that just to actually feel like it
okay thats confusing so imma explain it in greater detail
whenever someone mistakes you as their girlfriend, it makes them feel like you are for that split second and its just an addicting feeling
its like what if you were their girlfriend?
i mean, youre already the whole team’s girlfriend but theyre greedy brats and just want you for themselves
ohohohohoh
kyo!!
kyo def has a selfie of you both with the doggie filter but it was actually you who took it while he was just staring at you in the background
that was his lockscreen for like the rest of his high school career
lol
anyways!!
he was actually in a fight and during it, his phone fell off to the ground and conveniently oikawa messaged causing it to light up
one of the thugs had their hands gripping kyo’s collar and was pushing him against the wall while the others were surrounding them
they saw the phone flash and kyo cursed at the terrible timing and he made a mental note on killing oikawa later
a guy picked it up and he smirked, seeing the pretty smile of a pretty girl
‘heh? whats this?’
kyotani pushed the guy who was holding him but other two surged towards him and held him tighter
their leader snatched the device and chuckled
‘oh. its that bitch from his school. what is it’
he snaps his fingers as he tries to remember before stopping
‘aha! l/n y/n!’
kyo growled
‘shut up!’
the guy grinned at him and tapped the phone against kyo’s chin
‘oh yea. i heard shes a cutie. most people here know her, kid. now we know shes connected to you and guess what. you cross us again, she’ll take your place as you are right now. orrrr, we can,,, use her as our pet. thats how she is in your team, right? so let us have a turn. maybe we can send you a pic, hm?’
yea no that wasnt happening
kyotani easily beat those people up after because even just saying that unleashes power he didnt know he had
‘bastard. youre lucky this is just a warning. you touch her and i will kill you’
he landed one last kick on the guy’s face before taking the phone and leaving
now he has to figure out how to hide the bruises
you fussed later and he didnt tell you the reason instead just saying they said something that made him angry
nah
you were a person he didnt want to disappoint and he knows how much it hurts you to see him in that state
that was one of the things he hated but loved at the same time
you were such an empath that you would treat him and wince as if you were the one feeling the pain instead of him
and it made him feel special
you were one of the few things he holds close and he would be damned if anything happened to you because of him
the group chat was actually just blowing up with more screaming and the third years yelling at each other with the first years just casually reading the texts
they were used to the arguments within the team and you would remain so naive with the whole thing
kunimi is the type to keep silent and he didnt really care about anyone getting angry if you were spending time with him
but he does get annoyed if you were with kindaichi because you three were a package lol
like when kindaichi and you were at the arcade, this kid walked all the way there just because he didnt want kindaichi to hog you to himself
duh you thought this was adorable and endearing bc they wanted to hang out w you
no LUV theyre greedy brats who gets jealous over yOU
OH
so like i mentioned before that you and makki would walk over to the bakery and you guys would buy food there and such
and its also canon in here that makki only shares his food with you and no one else lol
why?
because when you eat the puffs, you put one in each cheek and it makes you look so adorable like a squirrel
sorry but squirrels are so cute like AAAAA
makki takes so many pictures of you and a lot are surprise shots where your eyes would be wide with cheeks full of food
aaaaa so cute
like you and makki sat down on a bench in the park across the bakery and you excitedly dug in to your own treat
makki chuckled at your excitement but he placed his hand on you arm to stop you
‘y/n-chan. say aaa’
you lit up and let him put the puff in your mouth and thought he was done but was surprised when there were two
you happily chewed it and went back to looking at your treats
but makki interrupted you again by calling you out
‘princess~’
the nickname made your eyes widen with red painting your cheeks and the shutter of the camera made you realize what he did
‘makki-senpai!’
you whined and he laughed
makki had a lovestruck smile on his face and he wiped the bit of creme on the corner of your lip
‘gotta take care of my princess~’
STOPPPPP MY HEART? GONE MY SOUL? GONE HOTEL? TRIVAGO
OH MY GOD IM IN SUCH A MAKKI AND MATTSUN AND IWA AND OIKAWA AND THIRD YEARS IN GENERAL BRAIN ROT PLEASE HELP
but we gotta give love to the second years :’)
ive mentioned that watari is the only person to ever go into your house right?
well, he comes over to cook and such so you guys spend time making food for the team 
watari takes this opportunity to take pictures of you cooking and the group chat cries bc its so domestic and they all start having the same thoughts
they really said seijoh braincells
it was like seeing a glimpse of a possible future for them
you, wearing an apron, cooking on the stove with your hair thrown in whatever with baggy clothes
gosh
thats like you someday being their wife and waking up one morning to see you there cooking in the kitchen
oikawa swears he had a dream that night because of that picture and he continuously thanks watari for YEARS because of that picture
okay are you curious about the dream?
yuhhh
oikawa woke up in an unfamiliar bed in a foreign room 
he felt his bones crack when he stretched and his hand extended out to a side that was still quite warm
hm
somebody must be sleeping next to him
then he stood up, catching his reflection in the mirror in front of the bed
;)
why would there be a mirror there hmmmm????
ANYWAYS
he noticed he had a bigger build and his hair was longer
then came the itch of the facial hair that he swore wasnt there a minute ago
this guy even checked out his butt and to his surprise, wow
obviously he was confused and a part of him thought this was the future
tooru walked to the door to go into the hallway and concluded, yep, this was not his house
then he heard music being played somewhere and a mixture of voices coming from a room
sounded like a woman and children
he stops at the top of the stairs, suddenly hit of the thought that this voice was so familiar
‘hm?’
tooru walked downstairs and stopped when down the hallway in front of the steps led to the kitchen where the voices seemed to lead to
‘mama! mama! mama! toast! i wan toast!’
‘in a bit, darling. just let me finish flipping the pancake’
the song was lo-fi with the volume being turned low enough to hear the voices fine
tooru wandered down the hallway and he stopped, finally seeing the owners of those voices
there was a handsome little boy sitting on the chair by the island and his brown hair was a mess of wild curls
there was a woman with h/c hair swaying to the tune and a beautiful little girl curled up in her arms while sitting on her hip
‘hey’
oikawa spoke out and caught everyone’s attention
‘papa’s awake!’
‘pa!’
‘hello tooru’
tooru froze
that was you
he knows it’s you
‘y/n-chan’
he whispered and you looked back at him from the pan
‘yes? if youre looking for coffee, we ran out apparently’
that was not what he was talking about
he hastily walked over to the boy and he blinked rapidly
‘you look like me’
he mumbled and the child grinned
‘eung! papa  and yozo look the same! mama and nana say so!’
yozo?
feeling like all the attention was on him, the little girl whined and her hands made grabby motions to him
‘pa pa’
she whined and tooru just felt something in him that screamed to hold the kid
you shushed the little girl
‘dont worry, looney loon. papa’s right there’
loon?
tooru stayed frozen at his spot and you raised an eyebrow at him
‘tooru? luna wants you’
oh
luna
that snapped him out of his trance and he held the little girl in his arms where she smiled at him and then he felt tears welling up in his eyes
then he woke up
okay sorry that was a long dream
so this dragged on for so long already okay
this was only meant to be small but aaaaa i couldnt help itt!!!!
but anyways!
the boys are just simps for you and theyre creeps that take pictures of you and they think about you all the time pls accept their love
also a mild continuation of the dream:
oikawa was holding luna and she was happily laying there when another figure emerged from the hallway
‘iwa-chan?’
he asked, surprised
what was he doing here?
iwa heard his name and grunted before going to a beeline for you
you smiled at him and he leaned in to give you a kiss to which oikawa froze in
iwa noticed his best friend holding his daughter and luna saw her father there
‘daddy!’
she shrieked and tooru blanched
‘uh, what?’
iwa extended his hands out to hold the girl but tooru held her tightly and leaned back
haji narrowed his eyes
‘um, give me my daughter, oikawa’
he grumbled and tooru shook his head
‘no! shes my daughter!’
you blinked
‘your god daughter, yes. but she’s half of your best friend, tooru’
half of his-
god? daughter?
‘so that means-’
‘piece it together, oikawa. did ya get brain damage or something? babe, call the doctor’
oikawa screamed
a/n: lol look WHO ROSE FROM THE GRAVEEEEEEE :) anyways. i really want to deeply apologize to everyone for taking an unexpected break and i shouldve told you guys and im really sorry :( everythings just chaotic lmao and im just like taking a breath for a second uwu and im so AMAZED at how many people still follow me even tho ive been gone for so long like bls yall are real ones :’) i love you all and the req box is still closed at this time as i need to finish the ones i have first soo thankyou for reading thiss and hopefully ill update soonerr!!! :)))

overworked [501st x reader]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[not my gifs]
pairing: 501st x jedi!reader (platonic), captain rex x jedi! reader (romantic)
description: After injuring yourself in battle, you’re not allowed to go back on the field until you’re completely better. However, you still have a lot of things that need done around the ship to help the clones out and fulfill your duties. The 501st are concerned that you’re pushing yourself past your limits, especially a certain clone that feels a certain way about you.
word count: 2127
warnings: angst-ish, mention of blood
a/n: I know jedi prolly dont have to do this much work in cannon but they do for the sake of this fic lmfao
also i didnt write anakin and ahsoka out of the universe i just didn’t mention them at all
You felt yourself slowly waking up, but your head was pounding and you didn’t know where you were. The familiar voices of your clone troopers made themselves known to you, and the electronic noises you heard let you know that you were in the medbay. You slowly opened your eyes and turned your head to the right, flinching at the bright lights. 
You saw Kix, Rex, and Fives standing in a circle, talking amongst themselves. They were talking quietly, and with the pounding in your head, you couldn’t be bothered to try to focus in and hear what they were saying. 
You moved yourself to get up, only to gasp as pain tore through your torso. You moved your hand to where the pain was coming from to try to alleviate it in a way. The gasp made the clones aware of the fact that you were awake and they immediately turned over to you. Kix came over to you to exam you.
“What happened?” You asked, not remembering how you got here. 
“You decided to be reckless and take on a whole army of droids by yourself instead of waiting for backup,” Kix scowled, retelling the report Rex had given him when he dropped you off, your torso soaked with blood from the blaster wounds. Your gashed head from fall after you had been stricken down. You breathed out a laugh in response.
“That sounds about right,” you responded, going to stand up after Kix finished looking over you again and changing your bandages. 
“It’s not a laughing matter, [Y/n]. You’re being too reckless. One of these times… I might not be able to just patch you up. And I don’t know what I'll do if that ever happens. Please don’t make that happen,” The clone voiced his concerns, hoping that for once they didn’t fall on deaf ears. 
You seemed to take his words in seriously. You nodded. 
“Fine. I won’t go back on the battlefield until you deem me ready. Okay?” You asked. He seemed to not be convinced but nodded anyway.
You started moving and winced at one of your wounds stinging from the movement. 
“Yanno, [Y/n], I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to be up and about just yet,” Fives started, moving to help you back to the bunk. You gently motioned his hands away. 
“I’ll be fine. Besides, I have some things I need to do,” You respond. They all give you a look. “How am I gonna hurt myself more by filling out paperwork and dealing with reports and complaints?” 
They shrugged, not knowing how to tell you to take it easy because they knew you wouldn’t listen. You wobbled your way to your room, trying not to show them that you were actually in a lot of pain. 
You had to report to the council about the battle, file a report about your injury, deal with monthly inspections, handle clone complaints, and deal with other paperwork that you’d been pushing off. If you had known becoming a Jedi would be this much behind the desk work, you would’ve never completed your training. Actually, you probably still would’ve, but it did suck. 
You sighed as you started to work on the first pile of work you had on your desk. These menial tasks never seemed worth it in the end, but you knew you had a responsibility to the republic. And seeing your men work so hard constantly to fulfill your duty made you feel as though you needed to do more too. If you failed to finish your tasks on time, you had a feeling that the clones would be forced to pick up your slack and the last thing you wanted was to add even more unnecessary duties to their task list. In fact, you wanted to make sure they didn’t have to do anything that wasn’t 100% necessary. It was already enough that they didn’t have a say in fighting in this war, you wanted to make sure that the time they spent off the battlefield was fun, full of laughter, not more work. You already knew that many of the clones felt as though they were worthless and expendable, but you wanted to let them know that they were worth more to you than that. 
After making through the stacks of paperwork on your desk, you stood up, groaning at the back pain of being slouched for so many hours. You went to crack your back to relieve the pain, but that only caused pain in your front as you stretched the wounds you had in your torso. You sighed and went to get a light snack before you could move onto your next assignment. Walking through the halls to the mess hall, you smiled and nodded to the troopers that passed by. Some of the newer ones or the ones that you were less familiar with saluted you and called you General. However, the ones you were closer to and had been around longer knew that you preferred being more informal with everyone off the battlefield. They smiled, waved, said hello/good morning. You were shocked when you heard the first ‘good morning’ not realizing it was the morning yet. You must’ve been working on the documents for longer than you thought. 
Finally making it into the mess hall, you got a smaller plate of food, not wanting to take much time to eat so you could go back to what you were doing. You noticed Fives waving you down. You moved over to the table he was sitting at with your tray in hand. The table he sat at also included Tup, Hardcase, Hevy, Rex, and Kix. You arrived, smiling at everyone and saying good morning. 
“Come eat with us, [Y/n]!” Fives invited. You sighed in disappointment, about to decline. 
“If you’re about to say you can’t because you need to get back to work, I will restrain you to this table and personally make sure you eat,” Rex said. Though you knew he was joking, you raised your brows at his statement.
You sighed and moved to sit down next to Rex. He moved over so you could sit with enough room. The boys all cheered at the fact that you were joining them.
“So, [Y/n], did you sleep well?” Kix asked, noting how tired you look. You paused as you were about to take a bite and put it down, laughing awkwardly. 
“Yeah, totally, I got like a good few hours,” you lied horribly. They all gave you a look of disapproval. 
“We need our general to be at her best, how can that happen if you don’t rest?” Tup asked. They all nodded, agreeing.
“Well technically you don’t need me at my best until I recover so me skipping one night of sleep isn’t going to affect much,” You argued back. They were all about to say something in response when your Admiral interrupted, standing beside your table to inform you that the Jedi council was sending you a transmission. You told the Admiral you’d be right there and shrugged to the guys. 
“Sorry, duty calls I guess,” You excused yourself from the meal you hadn’t taken a bite of and walked towards the bridge with the admiral. The boys all sighed.
“She didn’t even get to eat anything,” Hevy pointed out.
“I swear to god, that woman overworks herself,” Kix said in disapproval, crossing his arms. He wasn’t angry at you, he was just worried. They all were. Rex stayed very quiet, trying not to let his emotions get the best of him. If he could, he would drag you out of that stupid, pointless jedi meeting, make you eat something, and see to it that you got enough sleep. But he couldn’t for many reasons. And it made him feel powerless. 
After a long, boring meeting with the Jedi counsel, you returned to your duties. This time, you were listening to clone complaints and requests. Whether they were about housing situations, other clones, or anything that was really bothering them. This wasn’t mandatory, in fact it wasn’t even protocol. You had started this for the 501st because you wanted to give them a voice. Every month every clone had the opportunity to talk to you as an equal about anything they needed. Though it hadn’t been intended, sometimes these turned into what seemed like therapy sessions, especially after battles with higher tolls. 
You were in between meetings, and you couldn’t help but acknowledge the throbbing pain in your head. You reached over to take a sip from the cup you had on your desk, but realized it was empty. Sighing, you moved to get up and refill it before you had to talk to another clone, but were overwhelmed by a sudden flair of dizziness. Your ears started ringing, and black spots quickly filled your vision until you couldn’t see anything else. Your body met the ground with a loud thud and you blacked out. 
You got an overwhelming sense of deja vu, opening your eyes in the med bay, seeing Rex, Kix, and Fives standing in a circle. You tried to let out a laugh, knowing what had happened, but it came out as a groan, your wounds on your stomach hurting a lot more for some reason. They came over to your side in an instant. 
“You are so stubborn. You needed to take a break and you didn’t. You needed sleep. Rest. Food. Your body needs these things, [Y/n]!” Kix scolded you. 
“I know. I’m sorry,” You looked away from them, ashamed of yourself. You really didn’t want them to worry. You realized that in trying to make less work for them, you caused more damage. You really didn’t mean for the tears to fill your eyes, but they did anyway and you tried to wipe them away before they could see. 
“[Y/n]...” Fives said softly. This caused even more tears to fall. 
Rex asked for a minute with you alone. Kix and Fives nodded, walking outside. 
He helped you sit up and as soon as you were, you recoiled from his touch like it set you on fire. 
“Why do you constantly refuse our help? Why are you so afraid of being vulnerable around us?” He asked. Your eyes widened and you looked at him, realizing he knew what you were doing. He knew your biggest insecurity. You couldn’t find the words to respond to him so he continued. “You don’t always have to be so strong.”
“Yes I do!” You quickly responded. “You all are so strong. You clones fight so bravely. You go into battle day in and day out, not knowing if it might be your last. Yes, those are orders, but I’ve seen how brave you all are. I want to be like you, Rex. I wanted to be brave like you. I admire you and I realized that you could never appreciate a coward so I wanted to be brave on and off the battlefield. Even if that meant overworking myself!” 
“You mean you were doing this for my approval?” He asked, shocked. You met his eyes, nodding slowly. “Why would my approval mean so much to you? I’m just another clone, Captain or not.” 
“You’re not ‘just another clone’. Not to me. I mean, none of you are, but Rex...I…” You struggled to find the words, so you just expressed your feelings in the only way you knew how, by showing him. You brought your lips to meet his, softly. Your hand reached to caress his face. You made the kiss quick and gave him all the chances in the world to back off if he wanted. When you separated, his eyes were still closed and he brought his hand to the back of your head to bring you back in for another kiss. This one was deeper, but still soft. It showed the passion of the feelings both of you had kept hidden in favor of your duties, but it showed the kindness and compassion you both had for each other. 
You had no idea what to say when you separated again, so you were both just looking at each other, taking each other in. You softly smiled and gazed into his eyes with love. He smiled too. You quickly parted when you heard the door opening and Fives and Kix came back inside. 
“On behalf of the entire 501st. You are to eat a real meal and get the rest your body actually deserves. We will all be checking on you to make sure this happens,” Kix announced. You shook your head, chuckling. You loved these boys.

imagine several months have passed since the exchange program, the bros are asked by diavolo to go to the human world and investigate a rumor about a demon unlawfully making humans fall into temptation. how would they react when the find out that the perpetrator was mc, who used to be human? (make it angsty and extra painful please and thank you, i lov ur headcanons)
hey!! honestly i kinda struggled trying to figure out how i should make this ~super angsty~ and i was slightly confused in how to interpret this prompt, so i hope my interpretation is satisfactory! this is such a clever prompt, thank you! (and thank you for supporting me!!)
[for this headcanon, lets assume that upon turning into a demon, its hard for mc to access memories from being human... and that their demon form isnt as human as the brothers. also i didnt know how dark you wanted it but tw for blood and death/violence descriptions!]
lucifer
with trust, diavolo sends his best companion to investigate the mystery
he studies the day before on recent locations to get an idea of where this demon might be
he leaves the house early next morning heading to the last known location of the demon
it stood as if it were searching for yet another victim to tempt, and lucifer decided to make it known of his presence
“there is no way i, lucifer, could lose to something you, so maybe itd be wise to admit youve lost”
but allowing the demon to hear his name was a mistake, as it screaming his name sent him flying an acre
the only time he has ever felt power that strong was from your pact
it became very clear to him that not only you were the corrupted demon that stood before him, but also the pact you two shared was not tainted
lucy knew he was at an unfair disadvantage, but his pride couldnt let him flea
“end me right here if you must, mc, but at least ill die fighting”
mammon
hes terrified, but since lucifer is busy, he decided to handle it for him
he sent a few of his crow familiars to investigate where the demon was last, and proceeded to go to that location
“hey, uh, i dont think its wise for ya to be tempting humans, yanno”
upon meeting, he realises theres something off... he almost feels connected to it
but he decides to ignore the feeling
until he notices the demon wearing a ring he once gave you
mammon knew you felt familiar
but he learned fairly quickly the familiarity wasnt mutual when the demon punched his chest hard enough to shatter some ribs
you didnt care enough to fight him any more, and for some reason, that hurt him more
“i thought youd be the one to never hurt me”
leviathan
originally he didnt want to go, but then he realised this could be like a video game where you kill demons but in real life
that made him quite excited
in fact, he has a game like that (not shocking) and so he believed his experience could come to use
he used methods he learned from the game
levi left a trail of common human items to lure the demon to where he was
it was quite successful but not in the way he planned, as the demon stood behind him snarling
“woaaah- ah... wait...”
he noticed the demon wearing what resembled a ruri chan friendship bracelet he made for mc
he held its hand to get a better view and ensure thats really what it was
“mc... that cant be you in there...”
the demon pulled away from him abruptly and ended up slinging levi 20 feet across the ground
he couldnt tell what hurt more... his back from the impact, or the fact he lost his only friend
satan
hes way too excited about this
he gets to be a detective AND punish the demon in question once he finds them? this is like a dream to him
it shouldnt be difficult because theres no way he could lose a fight being one of the most powerful demons
satan follows a trail of footsteps that seem to accurately match the descriptor diavolo gave him
to his surprise, the demon was already there
satan feels as if hes solved the case, but he still has to take the demon back to custody
“look, sorry but im going to have to kill you. if you want, you can cause trouble and make this more fun for me when i torture you.”
the demon turns to his direction and he sees a faded pact mark of his on skin that used to be human
“no...”
satan tried backed away but the demon managed to pierce through his stomach with its finger
hes never once shown any hostility towards you... but he now knows youre really not you anymore
and as he lay on the ground coughing up blood, he regrets showing peace
asmodeus
he really doesnt want to do this, but because asmo is capable of charming, diavolo thought hed be the best fit for this expedition
all of the reports regarding the demon making humans fall into their temptation were from the same location, so he heads there
he sits on a curb in the near vicinity waiting for any sign of movement
when he hears the sound of growls approaching, asmo puts down the majolish magazine he was reading and gets up with a smile
“wow, a fiesty one are you! we cant have you causing more damage so if youd just look into my eyes, thatd be wonderful!”
asmos smile falls when he notes how familiar those eyes are
“mc...? i- how? how did this-“
with no effort, you slash his chest with your claws and he falls onto the ground bleeding
he never could charm you, could he...
beelzebub
because of beels excessive strength, diavolo thought sending him to handle the demon would be best
he packs a good 125 snacks to take with him
he laughed to himself on the way, thinking about how the last time he willingly walked into a battle was the war
“oh-“
lost in his daydream, he ended up walking into the demon he was looking for
the smell was all too familiar, and he quickly made the connection regarding who this demon was
“mc! i missed you so much”
almost as if he forgot the circumstances, he tried to hold you in a hug
the demon reacted suddenly and aggressively, throwing beel to the ground
he would have taken more damage if he didnt offer some of his food as a peace offering
regardless, the blow to the back didnt hurt as much as his heart did watching all that was left of both his sister and you walk away forever
belphegor
the only reason he went through with investigating was to satisfy his own curiosity, not because diavolo wanted him too
he went to the human world himself to the location of the last known incident and waited
he walked around a bit before he saw a demon sleeping on the curb
one thing about belphie is he always remembers how someone looks when they sleep
“theres no way this is mc...”
belphies voice startled the demon awake and it started fighting as a result, puncturing his chest and leading him to fall to the ground
“i killed you once and ill kill you again if i have to!”
thats something he never thought hed say and his eyes water as his heart aches knowing the one he once loved stands in front of him like this
blood rushing out his heart, he decides to use his twin telepathy one last time
“goodbye, beel...”

Detective Akechu
Tumblr media
It’s words. Several of them, strung together. Y’know. Like a parody fic that absolutely did not need to exist but weird shit happens when you don’t sleep for days so here we are. Read on if you dare or whatever.
__
 “Hey! Hey, wake up, please? Are you alright? You’ve both been passed out for a very long time now. I’m not sure exactly how much help I can be in this form. I feel as though what I could do would be very counteractive to what actually needs to be done. Though in this world is that particularly dangerous? Then again, in our own world, where people tend to heal absurdly fast, something like that isn’t particularly dangerous at all, right?
“Surely then, in this world, where creatures such as this exist, then it’s the norm to be jolted like this every now and again, right? Otherwise this creature wouldn’t be half as popular as it is, would it? Well, maybe among certain groups. But generally the face of the brand such as this has much less malicious intentions, right? Of course, there is an argument to be made for Madoka’s mascot character, but that character also wasn’t acting out of malice, really. It’s just that people perceive it as malice. 
“Attempting to save the universe from entropy really is a noble endeavor, though I suppose the real cause for argument is how unethical the tradeoff seems. Alien creatures don’t need to adhere to any human code of ethics though, right? It doesn’t really make them wrong not to abide by that, does it? No, of course not.
“But am I taking the aliens’ side too easily you ask? What about the humans who were tricked into the contract? Withholding information isn’t exactly a trick or deception. It isn’t an honest tactic for sure, but why would anyone accept the deal the incubators needed for them to strike if they knew the consequences from the start? Something like that is what you’d call ‘a necessary evil’ right? 
“You can’t answer that of course, still knocked out cold it seems. Perhaps I should find someone. Or, perhaps I really should employ that particular method? It is entirely possible that convenience in situations such as this could be a reason that I was -
“Oh! Are you finally coming to now? Great. I was just thinking that maybe I should sh - GyAHk”
“SHADDAP.” A fist collided hard with the back of the blabbering creature’s fuzzy head, shoving it down into the dirt as Aiura Mikoto groggily picked herself up off the ground. “Ugh, what the shit.” She blinked several times, and glanced around at her surroundings. Whaaa-HuH??? This. Certainly wasn’t where she lived. Or anything close to it, actually. Was this still even around Hidariwakibara? She was out in the woods somewhere. 
And. The hell was that guy doing here? 
Lying face-down in front of her was Toritsuka Reita. 
Why in all fuck was she out in the forest with Toritsuka? 
Just what the hell did that imply? 
Well she’d be damned if she wasn’t about to find out. She grabbed his unconscious form by the shirt and yanked him off the ground.  
“Hey, get your ass up and tell me what’s going on here!”
“I can tell you that!” Something else popped up from the ground. It was a familiar little fuzzy shape. Yellow-ish with tiny bead eyes and round red cheeks. Plus that iconic tail shape. There were several reactions a person could have to seeing something like this. Mikoto, thoroughly startled by it, responded by screeching and kicking it away from her as fast as possible. It slammed into a nearby tree, and fell back against the trunk, dazed. What that thing was didn’t click to Aiura for another few moments.  
H-HuuuHHHH??? Her face perfectly matched that sentiment. She let Toritsuka go and stared at the large rat she’d kicked for a few moments, making sure she was absolutely certain before slowly coming forward and making the call. “Holy shit is that a fucking Pikachu?” She was incredulous. What in the heck. No way. This was like, a toy or something, right? 
The toy sure was moving in a lot less robotic way than she would have expected as it tried to recompose itself. It was quietly mumbling as it did so, words a bit slurred here and there. “That chsertainly is unpleasant. It isn’t as though this medium has ever implied that these scenarios were parchitcularly pleasant but the battles against each other at the least arree shppposed to be exhilerating at least, yes? I guess that’s not fully connected. There’s still got to be physical pain involved, it’s jusht that -” 
It sure did talk a lot too for a toy. Didn’t Aiura know that voice? 
“Hey. You’re like, for reals alive, yea? Ya ain’t a toy?” Might as well just cut to the fastest way to clear this up. 
The fuzzy little thing looked straight up at her face. “Yes, I’m alive, to my knowledge. I can’t say that I know much about how ‘life’ itself works in this world. We can easily assume it works the same as ours, considering what’s presented in the materials for it, however one can also easily make the argument that this is simply an altered state with life itself being tethered to original bodies and worlds and so on and so forth. For example, my form may have shifted to become that you see before you right now, or, my spirit could have traveled here and possessed this being. There are several more possibilities and as I just woke up this way I can’t say that one or the other is for sure the truth of the matter here. But it is very possible that if my spirit is here and my original body is left behind somewhere, that that version of me is ‘dead’ at this moment if it can no longer function without the spirit.”
Woah, it recovered fast all of a sudden. Aiura had no idea what exactly he was on about with spirits here but at least something was clear now. 
“You’re that one guy. Kusuo’s friend.” 
“I assumed that I was being clear enough but yes. I am Akechi Touma! Although at this moment we could also say that -”
“NO, quiet for a moment. I need to understand this.” Okay. Alrighty. Sure. She had just woken up in the middle of the forest. Toritsuka was there. Akechi was there. And for some reason, he was a Pikachu. Right. Yeah. Okay. That was happening right now. 
How the heck was that happening right now? Was this a dream? Was she asleep? No way in hell she’d be dreaming about Toritsuka being there with her. Actually, she needed to get back to waking him up. It’d be easier to understand an explanation from him than Chatterchu over there. She had just bent down to grab the spirit medium up and start shaking him when someone who just could not follow directions called her attention again.
“Ah! Right! Him! He was here with you when I first woke up. I was around the both of you as well so I assume that whatever happened must have involved all of us together. I have no recollection of events prior to ending up here like this either, or what has caused my sudden transformation. However if you need an assist in waking him I did several experiments before attempting to wake either of you. As this is my body now it seemed imperative that I-”
“GET TO THE POINT! Geez, some of us are tryin’ to figure out what the fuck is happening yanno?” 
“Ah, yes, right, the point. Well I’ll be brief then and test my theory on this. After some trial and error with this body I discovered that shockingly easily I am able to –“ He cut himself off for once as a bolt of electricity burst forth from his body and struck Toritsuka. 
The target crackled and sputtered from the shock, his body twitching violently. Akechi’s plan worked well enough to jolt Toritsuka awake though. Once he stopped his attack the medium hopped up, screaming, and also stumbling a bit as his body was still shaking.
“I WAS ONLY LOOKING I DIDNT TOUCH ANYONE!” 
A little smile crept onto Aiura’s face. Toritsuka seemed like he’d be fine, but that was. Well. She hadn’t expected it, at the least. “Hey that’s super handy. We should consider keepin’ you this way.” Down the line Toritsuka could probably use a few more good jolts like that.
It took a good minute for Toritsuka to realize that he was awake and in the middle of a forest instead of off in some foreign nightmare prison being tazed for things he probably should not admit to here. He wasn’t as confused by the situation as Aiura had been once he got his bearings. He simply mumbled out, “Must’ve been sleep walking.” His temple was around a forested area, so he just had to figure the way back. 
Akechi was fascinated by the fact that Toritsuka didn’t seem to particularly be injured once he’d fully woken up. The physics of what he’d just done worked just as he had figured that they would in this world. He would have launched into a whole spiel on that, excited to share his discovery, if Toritsuka hadn’t taken notice of them finally first. 
“Hah? Boob girl? What are you doing here?” 
The first thing Aiura did in response to that was slap him as hard as she possibly could. The force sent him reeling backward. 
Toritsuka grabbed his poor, very red, stinging face. “HEY WHAT THE HECK?!!” 
Aiura was having none of his games. “Obviously you kidnapped me out here in my sleep or something!” She had ignored Akechi’s implication that something must have happened to all of them. This was Toritsuka’s fault. There’s no way anyone would willingly wake up next to that guy. There’s no way she would’ve willingly gone into some situation with that guy that would cause this. Well, unless Kusuo asked, maybe. But if he had, she didn’t remember it, so that didn’t matter at the moment. 
“I DIDN’T DO THAT! I’M NOT THAT KIND OF PERVERT!” 
Her hard stare said she didn’t believe him. She was about to voice that but stopped, startled as something fuzzy had leapt up onto her shoulder to be more at eye-level with Toritsuka. 
“I’m here as well!” Akechi chimed. That sent Toritsuka reeling back for an entirely different reason. 
“Wh-HUUH??!! That’s a Pikachu! Isn’t it?!!” 
“Yes. Indeed, it seems I have become a popular mascot character in this world. However, that is not our issue at current. Well, I suppose it is still my issue, as I’m not quite certain how it may have happened, and I would like to return to my original form, if possible. Although I do have several theories on the matter. Again, though, that is not the topic of discussion right now. At present the issue is how all of us have awoken together in this place. I feel it’s wrong to place unnecessary blame without having all the facts. We can’t confirm or deny that one person dragged the other out here. And the three of us don’t particularly spend as much time together as we do apart, so unless there were other circumstances, one of which I think is a major factor in this, then -”  
“Woah, okay, shut up! You’re just like that one guy!” 
“He is that one guy.”  
“He-WHA?” 
“Right! I already said this while you were asleep, but I do happen to be Akechi Touma!” 
Toritsuka stared at the Pikachu for a long moment. A very, very long moment, before voicing what was on his mind about it. “Saiki-san really is terrifying, huh.” 
“Kusuo?” Aiura questioned, not quite following.
The look Toritsuka shot her said that this should have been obvious. “Well, duh! What else could do this?! You’ve seen what he can do to people just by looking at them!” 
“Well, yeah...” Of course she had to concede to that, but. Why would Kusuo do something like this? He wasn’t the type to just mess with people on a random whim. 
Akechi didn’t look so sure about Toritsuka’s deduction either. “Though I also feel as if Kusuo-kun may have had something to do with this situation, perhaps we can’t place the entirety of the blame on him just yet? Considering where we are, there could be several other factors at work here. This particular group is proof that our world has it’s share of unnatural phenomena, but I feel that in this one such things are far more common.”
People didn’t often -no, they would never- ask Akechi to elaborate, but the way those two were looking at him said that they weren’t quite understanding. “The two of you still haven’t realized, I see. Take a good look around us. Particularly, at the fauna. Do they look like creatures that existed in our own world naturally?” 
Fauna was animals and junk, right? Aiura walked around, glancing here and there with Akechi still riding on her shoulder. That was a little annoying, but it really was easier if they didn’t have to look down at him. She wasn’t really seeing anything though. There were some birds in the distance, but they were too far off for her to tell what they actually were.
It wasn’t too long before Akechi poked her face to get her attention. He pointed to what had his own attention currently. A little farther off from where they were, in between the trees, things were gathering. Big things. They were brown, bug-like, kind of reminiscent of an upright stag beetle with those large spiked horns, and stood about as tall as a person. More and more were gathering to watch them. It was kind of creepy.
“Perhaps,” Akechi whispered. “It would be in our best interest to head to another area. Their demeanor and movements suggest agitation, so perhaps we’ve intruded on their territory. It would better if-”
“Yeah, yeah, I got it.” Didn’t need to tell Miko-chan twice. She also agreed that booking it outta there would be best. They just had to get Toritsuka, and- 
Oh no. 
What the fuck was he doing?!
They turned to find Toritsuka nearly face to face with one of those bugs. How the heck had that happened? Did one just decide that it couldn’t stand his face and decide to go at him first? Well, considering that guy, it’s probably what happened. It didn’t seem like he had a plan here though. He looked scared as shit as he backed away and the thing kept advancing on him. If he kept that up he was just going to get pinned against a tree. Damn it. They had to do something to get him out of that, but what? If Aiura did something to call attention to herself that thing would be on her. Not to mention all of those other ones that were probably also getting ready to make some attack against them. 
Akechi decided this was a matter he should take into his hands. Logically he could do the most here, right? He hopped off of Aiura and ran towards the bug. She called after for him to stop, but this should be fine. These creatures were made for this sort of thing. And despite his earlier experience with impact pain, surely when it came to battling these bodies were much more durable. They had to be, otherwise this sport never would have gotten as far as it did. Or, as far as he assumed it did, anyway. At present he had no reason to believe that such wasn’t the case for this world. 
He shocked the bug as he had Toritsuka before. It didn’t seem to enjoy the experience, but as Akechi also figured, one hit wasn’t enough to put it down. And now it was angry with him. Forgetting Toritsuka, it charged the Pikachu, bending to gouge it’s target with it’s horns. That was, admittedly, kind of terrifying, as Akechi was quite a bit smaller than the bug. So when Akechi unleashed yet another bust of electricity to counter, it actually was not the only thing he unleashed. That was much less embarrassing as a mouse out on the ground where it wasn’t as noticeable and socially unacceptable. Although when it came to various creatures that were territorial, what he’d just done was probably very bad if these particular creatures noticed and got it in their heads that this was some sort of marking behavior.
Through his counter-shock he was still grabbed by the larger monster anyway, and it clamped him with it’s pincer-like horns until the pain became too much and Akechi was forced to cut off his own attack. Perhaps he should have moved before making the decision to attack again, but sometimes fear beats out reasoning and he did not. How was he going to get out of this? The spikes on it’s horns were piercing his body slightly, and the more it clamped the deeper they went. Perhaps the others could lend an assist now that he had it’s attention? But where had they gone? Had they abandoned him here? 
No, he was able to see Toritsuka at least. He had moved from where he was before, but now he was just watching the situation. Akechi thought he seemed unnaturally still. He tried to call out to him, as he most certainly did not look alright, but all the managed was a little squeak as the other clamped him tighter. It was saying something. 
Akechi realized then that he could understand it. 
Right, of course he would be able to understand it. In this world, these creatures understood each other. What a terrible oversight. That wasn’t like him. He probably could have tried resolving this through conversation, yet, he had just done what had seemed natural. Was that folly truly a simple misstep, or was it due to now being more driven by instinct than rationality? 
Either way, perhaps he wouldn’t be in a situation where he was being crushed to death, had he reacted differently. But, ah, what was that thing saying? It was repeating something over and over again.
How strange. Somewhat alarming, Akechi supposed. But what did it really mean? He pondered it as he started to lose consciousness. It was probably the last thing he’d ponder. Surely this creature would manage to completely stab through him soon enough. 
Well, that might be true, if something hadn’t knocked Akechi out of it’s grip first. 
He bounced along the ground, rolling to a stop near the still unmoving Toritsuka. 
“Shit, shit shit shit shit shit shit shit SHIT” 
Aiura, who had bashed the monster across the back of it’s head with the largest fallen tree branch she could find and carry, was now rushing towards the two of them. The bug was straggling after her, with more coming out of the trees to avenge their injured comrade that hadn’t managed to take the group down solo yet. She scooped up Akechi in one arm and with the other grabbed Toritsuka’s arm and attempted to drag him off with her. Bugs were emerging from all sides now and quickly coming up on them. It was time to bolt the heck out of this forest. 
Toritsuka wasn’t budging. This was not the time to be fucking around. Aiura pulled at him harder. “Come on, we have to -” 
Slowly, he turned his head towards her and her mouth snapped shut on those words. She had no idea what to think about that. 
Toritsuka’s eyes were glowing orange. Seemingly satisfied with Aiura’s reaction, he looked away from her and screamed. It was jarring, an eerie sound akin to a cross between a human cry and the warning growl of some large animal. Then he ran forward, opened his mouth, and shot fire from it at the horde of bugs that had come for them. The bugs started, attempting to stop and turn before they got burned with several failing to succeed. Toritsuka screamed again. The group seemed to take the hint. 
 Once it seemed as though their attackers had retreated a good distance, Toritsuka’s eyes faded back to normal and he relaxed, breathing out an exasperated sigh before turning back to Aiura. She was staring at him, agape and completely dumbfounded. He ignored that. 
“This is the forest near my house! Come on! It should be safer there!” He started onward but Aiura was not about to let this go without saying anything. 
“Woah, woah, wait. Just what was that? Did you get some kind of bullshit spirit flame power that you’ve been keeping secret until now?” 
Toritsuka shrugged. “I wish. Something possessed me, right after you went looking around.” He tried to sound nonchalant. Ghosts were his thing and he wanted to seem like he had a handle on this stuff. But it was clear he was a little uneasy about the event himself. Usually he was the one to incite possession. Spirits didn’t just force their way into his body. They were usually even polite enough to ask first. “It told me we should ‘wait for the right moment’ and then that happened.” 
“Ghosts can give you superpowers now?” 
“It wasn’t a normal ghost. It was like. Well, I guess these really are other Pokemon, huh?” 
“Apparently.” They couldn’t deny it based on those encounters. Akechi was right. This was some alternate dimension. But that still left more questions than things answered. 
“It’s good that you’re accepting our surroundings now,” Akechi voiced. “However if it’s not too much trouble, may I request that we find some medical assistance for me? I feel as though I might have some pressing internal injuries.” And then he promptly fainted. 
Oh shit. Aiura hadn’t even paid attention to Akechi’s injuries. Her only goal had been to grab him and go. But now that she got a better look at the mouse she was clutching close in her arm, daaaaaaamn. Those were some concerningly deep bloody gashes. Wasn’t that a little too macabre for a world like this? The look on Toritsuka’s face said he thought about the same. 
“What should we do about this?”  
“Why are you asking me?!”
“You’re a priest, aren’t you?”
“That’s not the same as a doctor!” 
“Well we can’t just walk him into the hospital!” 
“Wait... can’t we?” 
“Huh.” 
“We’re in this kind of a world, right?” Toritsuka was pretty pleased with himself for realizing the obvious a few seconds before Aiura could. “They have hospitals for Pokemon. They should be all over the place!”   
Come to think of it, yeah, that was right. It had been a hot minute since Aiura had played Pokemon, and she was pretty sure all Toritsuka probably bothered to play were eroges and online mmorpgs where he could harass girls, but. That was pretty basic knowledge for anyone that’s ever picked up Pokemon once or at least had some other experience with it. “Guess I gotta bother finding it then, huh?” Divining was more of a pain without her crystal ball, but whatever. She just needed some space. 
Toritsuka thought for a moment. “Well, the temple shouldn’t be too far from here. We can still stop by there first and see if there’s anything that can help some!” 
That was another thing.
“How are you so sure about that? If we’re in another dimension why would your temple exist here?” 
“The ghosts told me!” 
Of course they did. So currently, dead people were their authority on this place. Somehow that didn’t seem to bode well. At least they knew where something was though. “I guess that’s worth a shot. Wait, give me a sec.” It would be better to know for sure before making any unnecessary stops. She shoved Akechi into Toritsuka’s arms. He flinched back, face revealing his disgust at having to hold the bloodied mouse. 
Aiura ignored him as she dropped to the ground and started rapidly tearing out blades of grass and collecting them in her hands. Once she had almost too much to hold she stood up, turned, and blew it all into Toritsuka’s face. “Yeah, it looks like you’ve got some Pokemon medicine there.” 
“Was that really necessary.” The grass-covered Toritsuka grumbled. 
“Soz.” Aiura smiled as she took Akechi back and brushed stray grass from his fur. “No other way. Let’s go.” 
Toritsuka didn’t believe that for one minute, but it’s not like it mattered anymore. 
 Once they arrived at the temple, Toritsuka left Aiura and Akechi in his room while he went to find that medicine. She had told him exactly where to find it, but that didn’t seem right. She had said it was stored in one of the Buddha statues, specifically, the one he often hid his porn mags in. Haha, the other monks totally would have kicked him out if they found that stash. No way they were keeping medicine in there. Besides, there were more practical places to keep it. 
That wasn’t the only odd thing, he supposed. If this place existed in this world, and so did his room, then shouldn’t there be another him walking around somewhere? Another of all of them? It was probably more important to figure out just how they got here and how to get home, but. What was the alternate Reita like? Was he popular? Did he have a girlfriend? Was he possibly off on a date right now? What were his secrets? 
Well, he at least happened upon a familiar secret once he got into that statue. This Reita, too, hid his porn in there. Although among that were several other things. There were some snacks, several small spray bottles with different labels, which Toritsuka assumed had to be the medicine, a few colored discs, what appeared to be a pile of berries to one side, a few electronic devices, and two familiar-looking red and white balls which may or may not contain more Pokemon. 
Woah. To hide this much stuff, the monks really had to be cracking down here, huh. He grabbed several of the medicine bottles, then hesitated a moment before also taking the spheres. It was fine to borrow these, right? It’s not stealing or anything if you’re taking something from yourself. Alternate Reita should understand, right?
If they had to be here a while, most likely they were going to run into more situations where Pokemon attacked them. And Toritsuka would feel a lot better if they had more backup on their side for that. He didn’t want to have to rely on ghosts to help them there again. Sure he could probably count letting Pokemon, who apparently could still will the elements when in a body, possess him as a cool new power. It gave him new bragging rights. He had access to so many elemental abilities now that he felt like even Saiki, the superpower monster, might get jealous! 
But he hated how unsettling that was. The ghost didn’t have any ill intentions that he could discern, it just wanted to help them out of a tight spot and took control of the situation to do it - completely without Reita’s permission. He didn’t like that. He really didn’t like that. He’d almost lost himself before when ghosts started taking over him on their own accord. He was not about to let that happen again. 
Ghosts were usually nice, but that was aggressively nice. Maybe if they noticed that he had other means of handling things, they’d leave him to it. 
When he re-entered his room, Toritsuka found Aiura against the back wall, facing his direction as she did a handstand. Akechi, blood covered Akechi, had been laid on his bed. But that was fine. This was Alternate Reita’s bed. 
“Oi, ya get the meds?” 
He held up the potions he’d found, gaze questioning what she was doing at the same time. 
She stayed in place as she answered. “I’m looking for Kusuo.” 
“Ours or one from here?” 
“Doesn’t matter. Either would probably help us find some answers...but.” Her own expression was knitted with concern. “Something’s wrong.” 
“What do you mean wrong?” He came to sit on the bed beside Akechi.  
After a couple of seconds of silence she gave a frustrated sigh and fell onto her side. “Uuuugh. There’s at least one here, I just can’t tell where he is. It’s like...something’s blocking me. It’s pissing me off.” 
“Maybe Saiki-san doesn’t want to be found?” Toritsuka offered. 
Could he really hide himself from Aiura’s divination powers? Just what kind of power would allow him to do that? That thought pissed her off too. He’d never hidden himself from her before. In fact, until they bumped into each other in the wild, he usually wasn’t aware beforehand that she was even going to use her powers to find him. No, this had to be something else, right? It had to be.
Then again, he was always hiding from people. Of course he’d jump at the chance to stop her from scrying him out if he knew he could. “Uuuggh this is mega annoying. Whatever. Let’s try to fix whatshisface up now before he dies or whatever.” She grabbed one of the potions out of Toritsuka’s arms and tried to figure out where to press on the odd little square-shaped bottle to spray it. 
Toritsuka found the trigger on one that he was looking over first, jolting back with a startled yelp as he accidentally sprayed the contents into his eyes. 
“Oh man, good job,” Aiura laughed. Then, ignoring Toritsuka’s agony, she went ahead and sprayed the medicine on all of Akechi’s wounds. This was how they were supposed to do it, right? Hopefully that was fine. Whatever this stuff was might keep him stable at least until they got him to the hospital - which she had also gone ahead and divined before trying to search out Kusuo. 
“HELP ME NOW!” Toritsuka cried once it seemed like Aiura had stopped spraying. He couldn’t see and damn his eyes burned like hell. 
Aiura just looked at him. “Help you with what?”
“WOMAN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT!”
She sighed. What a pain in the ass. 
“Fine, fine. We’ll go find some water.” She took his hand and yanked him up from the bed. “Try anything while walking behind me and I’ll make sure those eyes never work again, got it?” She didn’t wait for his answer before pulling him along out the door. He had better understand her clearly, and that was that.
  When they returned to the room after flushing out Toritsuka’s eyes, they found Akechi awake and standing on the bed waiting for them. His wounds seemed to have completely disappeared. “Hello!” He bowed. “Thank you very much for the assistance! Well, for the moment anyway I’m assuming that is how I’ve recovered so quickly! As I woke up in a place with which I’m unfamiliar I must have lost consciousness at some point, and seeing these bottles of what is presumably the medicine leads me to think that the two of you must have applied it to my injuries. It looks to have worked remarkably well. I’m not in the slightest bit of pain anymore. Injuries don’t persist very long in our own world to begin with but this is astounding, isn’t it?” 
The psychics had to admit that they were amazed too. The only way they’d ever seen someone heal so fast was if Saiki used his restoration power on them. Pokemon medicine sure was something, and it saved them a trip to that hospital. 
Toritsuka flopped down onto the bed next to Akechi, sure to avoid those blood stains that persisted. “So what now? How do we fix this if we have no idea how to find Saiki-san?” 
“We search for him.” Akechi proposed. He looked to Aiura, who had taken to standing in the middle of the room for the moment. “It’s my guess that you were unable to locate him with your clairvoyant powers, yes? If that weren’t the case, then finding Kusuo-kun would be no problem to us. Since we are unaware of the circumstances surrounding both his involvement in this and where he might be, he could very well be anywhere in the world. This could turn into a scenario where we end up searching for a needle in a haystack. But that’s only one possibility. It also is not the most optimistic one.
“Rather, what we should do is to start with what we can. This world appears to be a more direct alternate to our own. Places familiar to us exist here. That stands to reason that other people familiar to us should exist here as well, correct? This gives us our first lead in finding Kusuo-kun. We should start with that. And were we to start there, where would the most logical place to visit first be?”
“His house!” Aiura and Toritsuka chorused excitedly. Akechi was right, they weren’t as in the dark as they thought.
“Correct!” They were a bit slow on the uptake of things, Akechi had noticed, but it was good that they were all on the same page at the moment. He had to admit though, that despite their unfortunate situation, he was a bit excited as well for a different reason. Solving mysteries was where his true deductive nature shined. It wasn’t something that people really appreciated much before due to his tendency to talk on and on, but nor were their mysteries as important as this one. Here, he could show off his skills! “Now then!” He jumped up and plucked a hat off the wall that had been hanging above Toritsuka’s bed. A few hung there, but this one served his purposes the best. It looked like one of those hats you often see detectives wear in works of fiction.
Huh. Toritsuka remembered that hat from his own room back home, but was it always that small? It seemed to fit well enough as Akechi put it on.
Hat acquired, the Pikachu hopped off the bed, making sure he was both in between and in front of the other two before striking a cool, thoughtful and confident sort of pose worthy of a great detective. “PK Academy Psykickers, move out!”  
Toritsuka and Aiura nodded, each hopping to attention and striking a pose of their own behind him in true Psykicker mission style, but the look on their faces was much less enthused than usual. Even though they had accepted Akechi as part of the Psykickers before, it still felt like somehow their bit had just been taken over.

Sometimes, certain words were said when they weren't meant. A slip of the tongue, a misjudgement on how loud ones voice was. Brooklyn didn't often swear, but it had happened for the second when in front of her dad, so now, he had to do something about this habit of hers.
Brooklyn stared down at the bar she had been handed, quirking her mouth before looking back at her dad,
"So, because I said that word again, I have to eat this?"
She shrugged at his nod, Brooklyn having not clocked in on an important fact: he was simply joking about the entire thing. Well, never one to understand the punchline, or certain phrases, Brooklyn casually bit down into the bar without thinking about it. One would think she's spit it out, but instead, she kept chewing on it, soon swallowing it,
"Yanno, for soap, this isn't half bad."
With a smile, she takes another bite, acting as if this was a perfectly okay thing and nothing to be concerned about whatsoever. Her head tilts though, the girl speaking with her mouthful still partially full,
"Dad where are you going?"

It was a old sort of punishment and saying from when Steve was kid himself running around the back alleys of Brooklyn with Bucky and others. You could easily pick up on new words especially living in the state seen as the center of the melting pot America was claimed to be of cultures. So it was easy to pick up on all kinds things to say sometimes though you heard a new word and excitedly said it to your mother who turned around and gave such a look of shock that when she shouted about washing you mouth out.
Well it just sort of stuck with you for years after.
Now when his mother said it she was more serious then well joking. Those words were filthy and only soap would be enough to clean ones language up right? That was what Steve remembered the most when he first heard the threat and for some reason it was all that came to mind when Brooklyn had a small slip of the tongue and let out a swear herself. Steve had no real memory on if he had heard her cuss before? but he was positive that was the very first time. But, next thing he knew he was relivig that old childhood memory.

Placing down the soap in front of Brook as her eyes seemed to lower down to take it in for a few seconds.
"Gotta clean up that filthy mouth after all." He was only talking in jest, honestly the soap was a gift he thought his girls would like since it bared the rest and blue on the design. Artsin soap he was told it was called. People turly took part in all kinds of hobbies these days didnt they? He watched as Brooklyn quricked her mouth and seemed lost in her own thoughts about what she was just handed. Before lifting up her gaze back to Steve. He miss took the look over her star irised eye and normal one as mere confusion. Even if he was always getting after Nina for messing with her so much he could also understand why. Unfairly to Brook sure but the fact so much went over her head like? He could understand why Nina just couldn't help it.
"So, because I said that word again, I have to ear this?"
She questioned in response to his joke. But, before Steve could save her and include her into the joke she had lifted the bar of soap up to mouth and took a decent sized bite out if it. Leaveing Steve well for lack of better phasing, completely stunned and now tje one confused. As he wore a blank expression. Because he never would have expected her to eat the soap. But, the way she had gone about doing so didn't help the situation either. She was so nonchalance about the action. Steve was waiting for her to recoil, or gag over the soap taste even. Though the sopa was scented to smell like apples Steve knew there was no way it tasted anything close to it. Now worry was raising in him.
Not out of fear for his daughter. More fear of his daughter.

"Yanno, for soap, this isn't half bad."
And then she smiled and went for a second bite a bit bigger than the last as she was actually enjoying the bar of soap as if Steve had given her a chuck of fudge or something that was actually food. Maybe it shouldn't be a surpise considering the things she aimed as food already but there had to be a line somewhere and soap should have been it. Yet here she was actually enjoying it. Steve had no idea how to feel over this the joke was long ruined. But now you could blame him for this new treat kf Brooklyns.
Steve was sure this wouldn't be the only time she would try to ear soap either. He cojld.hear the questions. He could feel the possibility of just finding Brook munch on a pile of decorative soaps as if she were presented a tray of sweets. Hand rose up to his forehead and he began to rub at his temple. Steve hadn't even seen Brookyln break her attetion from the soap to tilt her head at him now instead He turned away and started to walk away he'd seen enough for the day
"Dad where are you going?"
"Back into the ice." Was all he answered with.
