🎉 NEW GAME: Introduce your mutuals to everyone and what do you think of them? 🎉
oH HEY! Looks like I missed this one question. Let introduce you to my awesome mutuals @riniloves : Rini are you still here? I miss you! Met Rini back then in 2010~2012 (?) We both loved LuluCC (Code Geass) and Kuraneon HxH)! Apparently, our prediction about LuluCC living together has became true in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection(2019), despite many oddities present and debates. So did Sessrin in Inuyasha. Awesome huh!
@unuxunu : My fellow OT3 Kuraneokuro shipper. Sweetest person I’ve met in the internet! I met her in ffnet in 2020 when I thought I was the only one left on this earth who actively shipped Kuraneon.(thanks Marriage of Convenience fic) We both are kinda inactive and moving on to another fandom now, but I will never forget the moment bitter world has turned sweet when I am with you T^T We created so much things together. Also she invented the idea of cloud gallery of our OT3 religion... What can I do without you girl? @senorita-jackalope : oh girl where are you? My fellow Kuraneon shipper and fellow Neon lover(YES WE ARE GAY FOR NEON SLURP SLURP). We also created so much things together. Unfortunately she deactivated her blog. Hope you will come back someday senorita-jackalope. @nikushimi-wa-kienai : Also my fellow Kuraneon shipper. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for this ship. Your works has inspired me to be active in this subfandom ^_^ @fluffygreenkoala : My fellow Kuroneon shipper! Your ideas has helped me created many beautiful Kuroneon art, thank you so much! (And they got 30+ likes and bookmark in Japanese art platform, yay to our teamwork!) @thelovelyghostwriter : If people are looking for something new to worship, now this is the mutual I would recommend to them! Because girl, I LITERALLY WORSHIP YOUR WORKS!!!! (STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, everyone, also @hunterexamcheatsheet). I remembered when you first commented in my MoC fic, my first impression was “Wow I like this girl, she is smart.”. But man you were more than just smart. You literally materializes what I tried to envision for the last 20 years(yes including the innocence day where I didn’t know the term HATESEX yet) and I am so thankful for your presence. I’m so glad someone finally gets the logic of my theory. Pure Genius Girl. Lion-vomiting-water country didn’t ranks third globally in time spent on homework for nothing in 2014. huh? So many things we did together : fanfic, perfecting Kuraneon theory, and punching bullies virtually. As citizen of neighbouring countries, we have close timezone and communicate a lot too beyond just ships.
@bat-belen : Fellow Kuraneon and Kuroneon shipper. Thanks for filling in gap time when I wasn’t active with Kuraneo Week 2021 ^_^ Also thanks for making art of my OTP. Hope you’re always healthy and well! @dukina : Hi Kina! How are you ^_^ I haven’t seen you around in my dash(and I checked you’re hiatus atm)  I hope you’re doing fine there. Dukina is the first to introduce me to selfship (Oh yea, meet my husband Pariston Hill). It’s fun in the office when both our husbands are present! Her beautiful purple blog is so iconic.
@itsmyara : No.1 HisoMachi shipper! We have same view when it comes to fandom and I’m so inspired by her because not only writing fanfic, Myara also drew and make moodboards. I stumbled upon Myara when I first read her Kuraneon fic in AO3. I don’t speak  Brazilian Portuguese  so I used google translate to read it. And boy the fic is so good that I must now admit that I downloaded it.
@cocogum : Coco first approached me regarding my “Neon alive” theory and honestly I REALLY APPRECIATE that. So many people shut down that possibility before even reading the argument or understanding both Kurapika and Hisoka’s characer. Plus we’ve seen Togashi’s false narrative in writing more than TWICE (Ging’s death by Mito and Kite death by Neferpitou). so thank you so much Coco! Coco writes theory and makes cool edits @cautionworks (CMIIW and sorry if it’s not you) so you guys should check it out. Another initial thought is WOW Coco ships Killuretz! I’m so happy my Killuretz art got appreciation after being dusty for a long time in dA!  @cybercowboyduck : My POKESHIPPING fellow! We’ve only met like two or three weeks ago but we had a 34 pages+ of discussion already I think?? Thank you so much for supporting my artworks and article!! Also for filling in informations and trend where I was a silent reader in Pokeani fandom. I love how calm you react to bullies in this bully-prone area lol @hollylu-ships-it : Hi Holly, I hope you don’t mind me tagging you in this although we rarely interact. When I first checked your account. Wow, actually I already consumed your fanarts since back then, when I wasn’t active in Pokeani fandom. (Your Pokeshipping motorcyle date.)  Thank you so much for reblogging my SunMo article ^_^ I love your art and blog so much! @barbiedisneyavenger @fierydense @ultimateoptimus Hey new mutuals! Nice to meet you. We rarely interact but it seems that we share common interest.  Hope y’all healthy and safe wherever you are. Cheers! Sorry I can’t be short about this, I really appreciate you guys for sharing the same taste in ships and character with me.
For you I apologize if my blog isn’t up to expectations. I take no personal offense if you ever unfollow me due to my non-fandom/personal post that I rb/posted.(Also cause sometimes I reply to discourse) . After all we all have to take care of our own mental health.
I am just indulging in the present about how blessed I am to have wonderful internet mutuals :)

Mikoto, for the character ask ^^.
MIKOTO! SOMEONE ASKED FOR MIKOTO!!!!!!!! THANK YOU KIOME!!! MIKOTO the love of my life I need more of her. We get so little and I just love her. I am blessed that I can at least go see her whenever I want in Disc 4. MIKOTO I LOVE YOU!
Tumblr media
favorite thing about them: Her very EXISTENCE. Her reveal near the end of the game was so great. Despite so little screen time and only appearing at the end when you find Terra she adds so much to the story. I love her personality, relationship with Zidane and the Black Mages, and that there is so much potential for her life now that she is free to live it on Gaia.
least favorite thing about them: Nothing? She is my perfect daughter. Though the fact that she has so little screen time and never appears in a cinematic makes me a sad lad.
favorite line: “Kuja... What you did was wrong... But you gave us all one thing... Hope... We were all created for the wrong reason, but you alone defied our fate. We do not want to forget this. We want your memory to live on forever... to remind us that we were not created for the wrong reason - that our life has meaning." In a way this line connects to what Mr. 288 tells her about burying the dead. I think this line  tells us that despite dying, something Kuja was so afraid of because the world would continue on without him (that it would forget him and his existence, his pain, his struggle), Mikoto will remember him. Her and the other genomes will bury him in the Black Mage cemetery erect a grave so that he may be remembered. And so that the other genomes may learn to live their lives without the fear that Kuja had in the end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
brOTP: DAGGER AND MIKOTO. Oh? Expecting something else. Yeah I’ll bite, I love the potential sister-in-law dynamics. They would be amazing friends, bonding over the craziness of Zidane. Next of course is Zidane and Mikoto. Zidane craved to learn more about his birth family and the home where he was born. He didn't find what he expected but he did find his birth family in Mikoto. She joins him in Gaia and I'm sure he will help and support her on her journey of finally living and growing up.
OTP: No one really. She's young and learning to make friends. That comes first before romance if that's something she's even interested in.
nOTP: Same old story Kuja or Zidane with Mikoto. They are siblings.
random headcanon: Mikoto was so lonely in Terra but she never had the support or reason to fully feel and express more extreme emotions. After the final battle with Kuja has passed and  she has lived on Gaia for a little while something simple hits her. Maybe someone passes in the village. Perhaps its a Black Mage she has become close to, like Mr. 288. Death is something she never experienced on Terra. All the Genomes were stuck in a type of unchanging stasis. She knows of it only clinically. But now that it’s happened... someone she has learned to care for has... stopped. It's overwhelming. It's freeing. She becomes the child she actually is and finally feels. The good, the bad, the pain. She cries and cries and sobs over the body and by herself and by the grave. She can't be consoled and she doesn't want anyone to try. She wants the pain to stop but she also wants to feel it. It's something she's never had before. A missing piece. A true demonstration of her soul.
unpopular opinion: Are there unpopular opinions of Mikoto? Maybe that she's not as deadpan as people make her? She doesn't really have a filter and she's seemingly unemotional but that's only from being surrounded by the other Genomes who did not have a soul. She was given emotions through a soul but by being trapped in Terra she had little opportunity to use them. On Gaia and at the teasing of Zidane her emotions are much more easily pulled from her. We can see that when she becomes so easily flustered and embarrassed when Zidane calls her his little sister. Though I think it obviously made her happy too. 
song i associate with them: This track captures her innocence and curiosity Warm Rain by DÉ DÉ MOUSE and Mito (from Wonder Egg Priority). Also a more melancholy piece for her is Prohibited Arts by  Kow Otani (from Shadow of Colossus). A more upbeat piece that makes me think of her is another Wonder Egg track. I can see her living daily life with all its shenanigans in the Black Mage Village. This song, Avid, by Sawano Hiroyuki from 86: Eighty-Six makes me think of Mikoto because this lyric really hits: “The sky we used to look up to is a different color. My naked heart can hear echoes, of the avidity we cluelessly yearned for.” I think about how Mikoto and the other Genomes are like children soldiers for Terra locked in the remains of the planet (very much like a training camp). And when they are brought to Gaia (or freed into the normal world away from the cycle of war) they have to learn how to live daily, simple, ordinary life. I’m sure despite all the blessings Mikoto will struggle with such normalcy. Though, at the very least, she now has friends and family she can lean on.
favorite picture of them: This art by Rachel Saunders. ALL her FFIX art is incredible.

Hollow Feeling
Title: Hollow feeling
Pairing: TobiSaku
Rating: G
Summary: Tobirama felt hollow. It was supposed to be simple, but the best laid plans go up in smoke due to emerald eyes. Now his reflects on this hollow feeling.
Words: 1024
Also posted on AO3
 He held the bottle in his hand, picking at the label. The willow tree drawn in pencil was split in two. The love birds literally torn apart.  It was some hipster beer made with flowers. His brother,  being the plant enthusiast he is, picked it out. He didn’t care for the floral notes he tasted in the drink. He wanted something to burn as it went down his throat and settled itself in his stomach. The thought of liquor filling him helped to rid him of the hollow feeling in his chest.
 Tobirama watched as different people filtered in and out of the bar. Hashirama was to his side talking to Mito and Madara. Izuna was by the stage hitting on a group of college students, he had no shame. He should be listening to what they had to say, but he couldn’t bring himself to care. This meeting wasn’t really a business transaction. It was just for show. The deal was going to go through. That hollow feeling filled him again.
 Everything just went to shit. He was supposed to go to the town and figure out how much to offer the inhabitants to get them to vacate their homes. The Uchiha-Senju group wanted to build a state of the art research center. The town lay on the outskirts of Konoha and served as the perfect location. The people were just names on a piece of paper...or so he thought.
 He remembers spending time in the town. Seeing the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They didn’t have a rush like in the inner city, but the electricity could be felt in the air. He took stock of the library, church, schools, and other businesses. It was when he came across the local clinic that everything was turned upside down.
 Emerald and soft pink disrupted his life. He had it all planned out, just for it to be shot to hell. It wasn’t supposed to happen. The picnics in the park by the lake. Walking around the small festival to welcome in spring. The stolen kisses between her patients and then the nights. When he tried to look back at his most cherished memories the liquor turned to ash in his mouth. He shouldn’t have spent so long in that town. Logic should have won the battle over his heart. But time and time again he found himself leaving every Friday night from the office to spend his weekends with her.
 The last time he saw her was not a rainy day. To mock him it was one of the most beautiful summer days. That Friday night there was a slight cold front so the heat and humidity weren’t stifling. He got to her home early to make her a special dinner. She got home early. A million emotions filtered through her eyes as she looked at him. When he went to kiss her, she pulled away.
 She soon found out who he was and what he represented.
     It’s true isn’t it. You are just going to destroy everything my family has built. My family’s last name isn’t Senju or Uchiha so it doesn’t matter, right?  
 Before he knew it words were said, items were thrown, and he was nursing a broken nose. All the tact he usually had went out the window with her.
 Hashirama’s laugh brought him out of his wallowing. Tobirama just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep the next few months away.
 A flash of pink caught his eye. She was there ordering a drink. They locked eyes and time stood still. His heart pounded in his chest, it brought him comfort knowing it was still there. However, at the same time he cursed the pain he felt.
 “Tobirama...can we talk?” He wanted to weep when he heard her voice. It wasn’t laced with the malice like it was at their last meeting. He didn’t know what she would say to him. He was the man tearing down her childhood home. He was the one flattening the clinic her grandfather built from the ground up. That small town was the hard work of her family.
 Tobirama could only nod in reply. He followed Sakura as she led him outside.
 “Sakura, I’m...I...I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I tried to stop it after getting to know you and the town.” She just stared at him. Then he saw a piece of paper in her hand.
 “I said things I am not proud of at our last meeting Tobi.” She looked down at the ground. All he wanted to do was have her in his arms again, but he hesitated.
 “Could we start over?” Those big emerald eyes looked up at him. His heart was going to jump out of his chest. He was supposed to be the cold and calculating brother. Yet, here he stood feeling all the emotions in those eyes.
 “Do you really want to start over? After everything.” He couldn’t cling to the ounce of hope she was giving him.
 “You don’t know?” Tobirama was confused and she looked at him. “Don’t know what?”
 “Your brother adjusted the contract. He actually offered to help fund a new clinic and to help with the research I am working on.” Tobirama was speechless. His feet moved faster than his brain could process. The smell of vanilla and mint overwhelmed his senses as he kissed her. She didn’t pull away. Instead she deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. Her nails digging into his scalp as she grabbed his hair.
 He needed to come up for air. Breaking the kiss made her whimper, both of them were breathing heavily.
 “Is that the contract?” He continued to hold her close fearing she would disappear.
 “I contract of sorts, but not the contract you think. I want a different agreement binding the two of us together.” This woman was always a step ahead. He matched her sly smile.
 “You know I am supposed to be the one to propose.” Her laugh filled the void that had consumed him for far too long.

mud on our knees (we won’t wash it off)
Written for @shikasaku-week Day 2: mud on our knees
this is supposed to be a "what if". what if naruto isn't a great hokage. what is the clan system doesn't work. what if, instead of going to war with other shinobi nations, konoha turns against itself. what if there is a konoha civil war. you don't have to read this if you don't want to question your views of the naruto world. this world is six pages of being critical of the naruto world and i know it's not everyone's cup of tea. it's fine by me. read what makes you happy.
also there are a lot of real-life believes of mine in this, notably regarding raising children and my view of the nuclear family and the idea that in real life it's very common to have children from different relationships instead of one true love. again, you don't have to read. i'm a bit angry because i wanted to post this on time and it got out of hand and it's much longer and much more complicated than it should have been. so there's that. i hope you enjoy anyway, and the next one is almost finished so you should have it soon. tell me what you think!!
___________________
“GET DOWN!”
Sakura doesn't wait for an explanation, doesn't even stop to think as she crumbles to the ground, plastering her whole body against the sticky, wet earth. Cheek crushed against a puddle, the filthy water going in her nose and her eye, she frantically tries to look around her while moving as little as possible. The sight calms her down as much as it can ; all the other bodies, face down against the earth, all have red or pink hair, and the familiar pitch black body suit with the blood red arm patch, what should have been a white circle stained with dirt, blood, and shit.
Her own patch was ripped from her suit when she had lost her left arm, a week ago. Her cousin had sewn a new one on her left arm and sewn shut the sleeve of her left arm to protect her still tender stump. He didn't look at her with pity, or sadness. In his eyes was the same thing that still burns in hers, in the rest of their clan. Pure, unadulterated wrath, an unashamed blood rage and thirst for revenge. Her arm would be avenge, just like all the dead they had suffered. They're winning now. It's just a matter of time.
Once the last explosion is confirmed to be the last, Sakura gets up quickly, reuniting with the three other members of her squad. The four of them are the only shinobi of the Haruno Clan, so they had been named the de facto leaders with the approval of the Clan Head.
“What's our next move?” Hanako asks, brushing caked dirt from her hands. She's a chūnin, on a clear path to become a tokujo because of the dōjutsu she had developed, to the entire clan's surprise. It's nothing as strong as a sharingan or byakugan, but her iris-less, entirely grey eyes allow her short burst of speed that are so strong they look like teleportation.
“Kura and I are still working on the seal,” Nadamaru says, his arm curling around Sakura's waist. She presses without shame against her cousin, her head falling on his shoulder. Nadamaru and her are the two jōnin of their little squad, him having been in the Sabotage Unit since his promotion and her having joined the unit a few months before the beginning of the war.
“I'm taking Shikamaru with me and we're going to prepare the new set of traps. Did any of you finish the poisons we talked about?”
Both Sakura and Nadamaru nod, handing a leather bag to Mikata who takes it gratefully. He's the youngest of them all, having barely made chūnin when the war started. He's the best infiltrator of them all, his lithe body and small height ideal for stealth. Since the beginning of the conflict, he's been the one making sure the traps are all working, and scouting the enemy camps.
He's also incredibly smart, not that the three others aren't, but he's on par with the Nara, which makes him ideal to work with Shikamaru. They've been planning every move of the Haruno Clan, approved by the Clan Head and the other shinobi, but they're responsible for their most successful actions.
Sometimes, Sakura has to take a step back and remind herself why they're fighting. It's the bloodiest, most vicious conflict she's ever been on and she took on a goddess. She can't believe it's already been five years since they started fighting, and on the worst days, when she's seen too many people die on either side, she can't believe it's only been five years.
What had started as a new law passed by Naruto's Administration had turned into protests and countless strikes, which in turn had become an endless, single strike that went on for so many months Konoha had started to starve, and when winter had come, people were dying of cold, of injuries, because no one was working in the hospital anymore. It had been a grim time. So the government had passed a new law in a panic, stating that all the striking workers would be counted as traitors if they didn't come back to work.
That had been received as well as could be expected. Not only had the strikers not come back to work, but the civilians had decided to barricade the civilian district, building in one night a wall around it. Then they asked the civilian clans, the rich businessmen, the clans that had half-civilians and half-shinobi like the Haruno, for help. Not a single one of them refused. Suddenly, the civilian district was patrolled by hundred of shinobi, not a single civilian was outside of the wall, and they were self-sufficient since they accounted for all the workers in the village, from every single profession.
They had the land to grow food, the workshops to build whatever they needed, and all the healthcare personnel of the village to take car of them. So, in desperation, the Administration had ordered the shinobi force to march on the district. About a third of them refused to fight their brothers and sisters-in-arms and joined the civilian district to warn them of the incoming battle while feeding into their already respectable ranks.
What was left of the shinobi force was still deadly, and it accounted for some of the strongest and most respectable shinobi clans.
Konoha's first civil war was born.
In the last five years, the village had been turned into a battleground, each force having about half of the ground, buildings in the middle reduced to rubble with the dead piling up on each side. The civilian side had been trained intensely by the shinobi within them, each civilian clan taking on a specialisation of shinobi life.
The Haruno Clan is the Sabotage Unit, the small Hagoromo Clan had been trained as medics by Sakura and the hospital staff. The Tsuchigumo Clan is trained in Interrogation and Intel Gathering. The Yanagikage Clan, though the smallest of them all, is their Hostage Retrieval and Escort Unit. All small, or unknown clans, mostly composed of civilians who now have extensive knowledge in martial arts and shinobi training.
They were the healthiest side, because of the food and the medics and doctors, but the other side had the money to bring in food and medicine and even a few medics who kept leaving once they saw the horrors of the civil war and replaced by others.
And then there were the bigger clans. The most famous clans of the village, that everyone knew about, the Noble Clans who had been the pride of Konohagakure before this bloody civil war started. They didn't have a choice. They had to take sides.
Some never recovered from their choice.
Sakura hugs Mikata briefly, who is also a cousin of hers, and Hanako, technically her sister-in-law. When the war started, all three of her parents were killed in a raid that was meant as both a hit against her for her support of the civilian side, and against the Haruno, because as soon as the civil war spread to the entire village, the Hokage Tower had been swarmed by a suicide run from the civilian side and all records made public.
It was a good idea, because it allowed for clearer goals for their side and ammunition against the other. But it also meant that the Haruno kekkei-genkai, a State secret since Mito's marriage, was made public. The Uzumaki who were born with this particular gene were integrated within Konoha with the rest of the refugees from Uzushio, and to protect them from the backlash their kekkei-genkai would cause, they changed their name and became the Haruno Clan. And now their secret is out, and it caused assassin to come and kill her two mothers and her father, who were respectively the previous Clan Head, Clan Second and part of the Haruno Council.
In one night, she lost the three most important people in her life and the assassins' plan almost worked. She had been hit so hard by the three simultaneous losses that she had almost ended her own life in a fit of madness. Only Shikamaru's intervention had saved her life. Her aunt and uncle, twin siblings, had been named Clan Head and Clan Second in replacement, and herself became a Haruno councillor. As per Haruno tradition, she had been adopted by the first willing family, her great-cousin and his husband, and she became Nadamaru's sister, who was in turn married to Hanako.
She had always loved the sense of family her clan has, how you could just choose who you would live with, how children navigated homes like safe havens. The Haruno would either marry out of love and have children that they would keep, or they didn't feel it was the right time for them and have children anyway that would be raised by the community. And those who didn't marry young or didn't marry at all would be encouraged to have one night stands and have children for community raising as well.
That was how Sakura was born, from one of her aunts, though she didn't know which one, and didn't care. Her mother and father had a child who they gave to the community, and when they met her other mother years later, they decided they were ready to raise a child and adopted Sakura, who was seven at the time and completely happy to be cared for by the fifty parents of the Haruno Clan.
That's how it works, and she thinks it's brilliant and she doesn't understand how only the Haruno, what's left of the Uzumaki and the Hagomoro raise their children that way.
Thinking bitterly that those cultural differences were the reason the civil war even existed, she kisses Nadamaru's forehead before shunshining away towards the headquarters of the rebellion, where all the clans and families have a representative to coordinate their side's actions. She needs to get the pages newly translated from the records they stole from the Hokage Tower, hundreds of scrolls scavenged from Uzushio after its fall without ever warning the remaining Uzumaki of what is theirs by right.
They have a woman who specializes in studying dead and old languages, who is translating the scrolls painstakingly to give all the information on seals she can find to the two Haruno, who are crafting seal after seal in a hope to gain a clear advantage against the other side.
In the HQ, she finds a hive of activity, all clans mixed with one another in a constant buzz of intel and planning and headcounting. In the back of the room, there are desks aligned to face the organized chaos, where the representatives are sitting side by side, all working on different projects or talking between themselves.
Instead of going straight to the translator, Sakura makes a beeline for the desks, a smile already forming on her face. There are little signs in front of each desk, drawn by the children of the clans in adorable, wonky kanji and symbols. She doesn't even try to stop the swell of pride that she feels whenever she sees how many clans and families they gathered t their cause.
On the far left, the Hagamoro, then the Tsuchigomo, the chair empty since they managed to capture a Sarutobi and everyone from the clan is on deck to try and get as much out of him, as soon as possible. Next, the silk black hair and single white eye of Hyūga Neji. The Noble Clan had been a total surprise, one of the first to join the rebellion when it was only the Fuma Clan, Ichiraku family and Haruno Clan. He raises his head when he senses her coming, sending her a warm smile that she returns with pleasure.
Next to Neji, another empty chair because more often than not, he's in the training ground helping the weakest fighters, is Lee's desk. His clan is tiny, just him, an adopted Tenten, and the child Sakura and him had together after the Fourth War. They had a brief but incredibly loving relationship, that had healed them both in ways they hadn't expected, and a precious boy had been born from them. Takumi is seventeen now, a taijutsu master like his parents, ridiculously handsome with his long pink hair, always braided, and his lovely dark eyes.
After the empty chair, the Yanagikage elder, then Aburame Shibi. The tragedy of the Aburame Clan had been one of the great costs of the war. As one of the Noble Clan, and as of today, the last to defect the Administration side to join the rebellion, their choice had enraged fiercely all the remaining clans and family of the other side. When Shibi had announced his decision, the others had decided to prevent their defection. There had been a mass assassination, and only the few Aburame who had been on the other side of Konoha for negotiations had been spared. Shibi, Shino, Torune and their mother Kanbai are the only Aburame left.
The second tragedy, and arguably the worst, shows in the dark circles and empty eyes of Akimichi Okashi, Chōji's mother. When the Akimichi had tried to join the rebellion, the Yamanaka had stood against them, in a move that shocked both sides. Their battle had been bloody, ruthless, and tragic. Friends fighting friends, to the death. The Akimichi won. Barely. There are no Yamanaka left, and the Akimichi are half their original number. Chōji is a trainer, alongside Lee and others, and his mother leads the clan.
Next to Okashi, the Fuma Clan, the Ichiraku family, and finally, the Haruno Clan representative. Shikamaru is bent over a pile of paperwork, his pink hair falling over his eyes in an obviously annoying manner given the frustrated, repetitive movement of his fingers to try and put it behind his ear.
His black bodysuit clings to his broad shoulders in a way that makes Sakura's heart beat, the red Haruno patch proudly displayed on his arm. She ignores the ache of her own missing limb, and goes straight to her husband. Only after being a few metres from him does she notice the black strap around his torso, holding the sling that presses their youngest against his back. And playing under the desk, crafting a story of wooden toys and adventures, are their two other children.
She revels in the joy of seeing her family, safe and whole, despite the circumstances. With a flush on her cheeks and her grin matching the beat of her heart, she finally reaches the desk and leans against it.
“Hello, Haruno-sama,” she purrs, enjoying the adoring look Shikamaru gives her instantly, like nothing could make his day better than have her at his side.
“Hello, Haruno-sama,” he answers with unashamed fondness, his hand reaching for her. He brings her knuckles to his lips, kissing it twice in a way that still brings blood to her cheeks.
“I have important news for you. I haven't told anyone, because I made the call that you should hear it first.” Shikamaru is deadly serious, his eyes flashing white for a moment, the Haruno kekkei-genkai showing through his stoic facade.
She knows this game since childhood, so her hand squeezes his and she sends a burst of consciousness through their point of contact, her mind flashing in images through his to convey love and calm and what she talked about with her three clansmen. Her eyes shine a blinding white before turning back to green when the connection stops. Shikamaru nods once, before grabbing his file, ordering it without need in an obvious nervous gesture.
“Get it over with. If it's going to hurt me, I'll heal better with time and the soonest you tell me, the soonest I can deal with it. And if it's going to make me angry, well, delaying won't change that,” she chuckles, her attempt at humour falling flat when Shikamaru grimaces.
“Well, here goes.” He takes a deep breath. “In our last sabotage run, we planted bombs over the supply roads to cut their food chain. But what set off the bombs wasn't a food caravan, but a full escort and delegation for Suna. Apparently, after five years of trying to hide the war, they were getting desperate enough to ask for help. Which they won't get, since everyone is dead.”
“Anata,” Sakura says softly, the pet name rolling of her tongue more like a reproach. He nods again.
“Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi were all in the delegation.”
Sakura freezes, her mind going numb. Suddenly, she can only hear white noise, the chaos of the headquarters thinning down to a bare hum. She sways on her feet, before the information slams into her like a battering ram. The noise comes back in a wave, crashing into her in a second strike.
“They're dead,” she whispers.
“They are. And when the sabotage team made a quick sweep of the scene for anything useful to scavenge and identify the bodies, they also found the prison's location. Five years, but it was so worth it.”
“Did they—?”
“Yes. Everyone. Sai was starved and probably tortured, he's in the Hagamono's care. And they got...” Shikamaru is chocked up suddenly, looking down at his desk. “They got my mom and seven Nara out.”
Sakura breathes deep, taking in everything, from the death of the people who ruined their life for so long and caused a civil war, to the retrieval of some of the most important people in Shikamaru's life. He's been a Haruno for five years now, having joined when they decided to adopt Yozora from the community raising. He did the ceremony, got the kekkei-genkai that turned his hair pink, like every Haruno child. He became Haruno Shikamaru of Clan Haruno, because he wanted to be a part of something and being a part of Sakura's clan made the most sense. At the time, he thought to be the only Nara left.
Sakura's heart feels full to bursting knowing he'll get some of his family back. Not that her and their children aren't his family, but she's so glad he'll get those eight Nara in his life again.
And she'll be able to see Sai again...
For the first time since hearing the news, a smile breaks out on her face, her eyes welling up with all the tears she didn't shed the last five years. Shikamaru is getting up from his desk, carefully avoiding Yozora and Sora next to his feet, before gathering her up in his arms.
“They're dead,” she whispers against his hair, heart wild and feeling like she can finally breathe.
“They are, love. They're dead.”
“Without them, the Uchiha and the Senju won't have any leaders, and they won't be able to rebuild the Hatake. We've basically won the war.”
“And don't forget that we can now tell our Uzumaki they can finally elect a proper Clan Head,” Shikamaru smiles, fierce and proud.
“They're going to be so happy,” she giggles.
Shikamaru's voice is soft. “Our cousins,” he states, like a fact of the universe that makes him unbearably happy.
“Kura? What's going on?”
They pull themselves apart, turning to look at the rest of Sakura's squad where they just entered the headquarters. Sakura grins wide, feeling like a God and a leader at the same time, her blood pumping through her veins like the sweetest confirmation of everything they stood for in the last five years.
“Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi are dead,” she announces to her brother, sister-in-law and cousin, face illuminated with glee.
“You're kidding me,” Hanako whispers. “You're kidding me!”
“Yes!” Nadamaru grabs his wife by the shoulders and kisses her hard on the mouth, uncaring for her open, wide eyes. Mikata's shock is so sweet to see, and that's when Sakura and Shikamaru notice the people standing him one by one, getting closer to them.
The news is spreading like wildfire, all the people working in the headquarters passing the information along like water on a summer day, and more and more smiles and laughter and tears are appearing. The noise in the building reaches critical levels, and no one cares. They've practically won the war.
“We're going to be alright,” Shikamaru says, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and putting his chin on her shoulder.
“Yes we are,” she says softly as her children wander next to them, curious and happy.

Princess Ozma in the anime The Wizard of Oz
First of all, some background. I am one of the very few people I know who does not regard Princess Ozma’s origin story, found in The Marvelous Land of Oz, as particularly good. Connected to that, I do not consider it to be positive trans representation, for reasons outlined here. I do love Princess Ozma, and I think it’s great that she’s become a trans lesbian icon, but I don’t think the messages about trans people in The Marvelous Land of Oz are positive, at all, although the later books have some lines that are great in that regard if you ignore the context. I also think that her character holds high potential for more respectful adaptations, and that’s something I’m always on the lookout for when I consume adaptations of The Marvelous Land of Oz.
Did the anime turn this into something I can at least sit comfortably with? Well, no, not really. I think it might have done a marginally better job than the 1904 novel, but it still has significant issues. There were some really good lines, but there were also really bad lines... This is actually another case where I think the English dub did a decidedly better job than the Japanese dialogue, but it’s still problematic.
I say the English dub did a better job because Tip/Ozma is explicitly given a choice, but it’s still one in which he’s being pressured, and there was one line in particular that I find troubling... but at least Tip/Ozma isn’t completely stripped of agency over their life...
Here are the different versions. I’m bolding the lines I think are most significant, in either a positive or a negative way.
Original passage:
"You are not a girl just now" said she, gently, "because Mombi transformed you into a boy. But you were born a girl, and also a Princess; so you must resume your proper form, that you may become Queen of the Emerald City." "Oh, let Jinjur be the Queen!" exclaimed Tip, ready to cry. "I want to stay a boy, and travel with the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and the Woggle- Bug, and Jack -- yes! and my friend the Saw-Horse -- and the Gump! I don't want to be a girl!" "Never mind, old chap," said the Tin Woodman, soothingly; "it don't hurt to be a girl, I'm told; and we will all remain your faithful friends just the same. And, to be honest with you, I've always considered girls nicer than boys." "They're just as nice, anyway," added the Scarecrow, patting Tip affectionately upon the head. "And they are equally good students," proclaimed the Woggle-Bug. "I should like to become your tutor, when you are transformed into a girl again." "But -- see here!" said Jack Pumpkinhead, with a gasp: "if you become a girl, you can't be my dear father any more!" "No," answered Tip, laughing in spite of his anxiety. "and I shall not be sorry to escape the relationship." Then he added, hesitatingly, as he turned to Glinda: "I might try it for awhile,-just to see how it seems, you know. But if I don't like being a girl you must promise to change me into a boy again." "Really," said the Sorceress, "that is beyond my magic. I never deal in transformations, for they are not honest, and no respectable sorceress likes to make things appear to be what they are not. Only unscrupulous witches use the art, and therefore I must ask Mombi to effect your release from her charm, and restore you to your proper form. It will be the last opportunity she will have to practice magic."
Japanese dialogue:
Tip: How can I be a princess? I’m a boy! Mombi must be lying again.
Glinda: Mombi speaks the truth. Were she lying, the golden thread would know.
Tip: Even if it’s true, I hate it. I don’t want to be a girl! If I’m a boy, I can go on adventures with Scarecrow, Woodman, and everyone! I don’t want to be queen.
Jinjur: Yeah, that’s good. I’m still here, you know.
Glinda: Don’t be selfish. You will be the Queen of Emerald City, Tip.
Dorothy: It’s okay to be a girl. I’m a girl, and I go on adventures! You can too.
Tin Woodsman: Right. It doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl. That won’t change the fact that we’ll always be your friend.
Scarecrow: What matters is that you’re a good person. A person who, since we’ve met, has shown courage, wisdom, and a kind heart.
Tin Woodsman: Right. The Scarecrow and I are pretty jealous of that. Man or woman, it doesn’t matter. You’re human.
Glinda: Tip... no, Princess Ozma. Your father was the greatest wizard of the Land of Oz. When he ruled, there were none who used evil magic. But once he passed away, this land changed, and was no longer a paradise. From now on, you will be Queen, and you will return Oz to how it once was.
Tip (hesitating): Okay...
(Everyone cheers)
I think this is marginally better than the original because at least the part about transformation magic being dishonest is left out, and the responses from Tip’s friends... would be great, if this were actually someone coming out as trans, and not someone being forced/coerced into transitioning (you really could just as easily call it a forced detransition. I still call Princess Ozma trans but I honestly think it’s a stretch given that she was assigned female at birth and was then forced to live as a girl, even if she ended up being happy with this and the later scenes where it’s discussed are great out of context...).
English dubbed dialogue:
Tip: But I don’t want to be a princess! I want to be a boy and go on having adventures with all of my friends! I don’t wanna have to be the queen someday! Couldn’t I just stay the way I am?
Jinjur: It’s okay with me, Tip; I’d gladly take your place!
Glinda: Try to get used to the idea. You’ll still have adventures, and Oz needs its rightful ruler on its throne.
Dorothy: It’s true, Tip; Scarecrow was a good king, but he wasn’t born to it; this throne really belongs to you.
Scarecrow: Mm-hm!
Tin Woodsman: And boy or girl, Tip, take it from me: what really counts is having a good heart, and that you’ve got!
Scarecrow: Yes, and a good brain, too! We’ve all seen that! Come to think of it, I’m a bit annoyed with my brain right now; I should have spotted your royal qualities a long time ago, Tip!
Tin Woodsman: You’ll get used to being a girl, Tip. After all, you were born one! You’ll get used to being a ruler, too. If I could do it, anyone can!
Glinda: I know this has been difficult for you. As far back as you can remember, you have been known as Tip, not Ozma. As a lowly witch’s apprentice, not heir to the throne of Oz. But royal blood runs in your veins, and I can see that you’d make a fine ruler, every bit as wise as your father before you. But the choice is yours: Do you wish to remain Tip, or shall I break Mombi’s spell and turn you back into Ozma, Princess of Oz?
[Tip gulps, but nods, wordlessly.]
I think that the English version is considerably better on the whole because Glinda isn’t forcing this onto Tip. The English dub does pass the “Is it better than Space Pirate Mito” test, which the novel and the Japanese version of the anime fail. However, the English version did add in the declaration that Tip would “get used to” being a girl because of being “born one,” which has unfortunate implications regarding trans people for sure. It is something that could be written out of simple ignorance with no particular intent to invalidate anyone’s experience, but effect matters too. Still, I think the overall effect is better than the other two versions discussed here, though I’d definitely hear out other points of view. But it’s... not great.
Final note. Tip is a rather rough-and-tumble kid, with masculine speech pattens and a very casual manner. Tip speaks very informally compared to Dorothy and, for instance, there’s a scene where they drink water out of a lake, and Dorothy uses her hands, while Tip sticks his head right in there. I hope this aspect of Tip isn’t erased, or worse, squashed out. As to that, though, I probably won’t be able to tell until much later in the series, so don’t expect a post about it anytime soon.

King of Prism SSS Episode 6 commentary (Minato)
The final episode of Part 2!
This was originally my favorite of the three episodes we are shown in the theatrical “Part 2″. But it was also the one I was most awake for at the time haha. Nowadays I think Joji’s is probably my favorite of the Part 2 episodes, but this one still has a very, very special place in my heart......... AS BIG AS THE OCEAN.......... 
Tumblr media
And right off the bat we’re referencing the hidden curry subplot in Pride the Hero. Well, maybe it was obvious to some people, but I definitely wouldn’t have fully known about this subplot without reading about it. Basically early on in Pride the Hero there is a scene where Hiro casually refuses to eat Minato’s curry. Minato can be seen working on his recipe during the movie, but in the end it’s Kouji’s honey/apple curry recipe which gets Hiro back on his feet. Minato sees this as a failure on his part. 
If there is ever a scene where anyone is crying (there will be a few more examples of this before the end of SSS) take a look at Leo. If anyone else is crying, it’s basically guaranteed that Leo is also crying too. He doesn’t even know why Minato is crying here!!! LeoooooOOO..............
Tumblr media
Everyone always cheers for Taiga here! Good job.
Tumblr media
Okay, according to the Part 2 pamphlet, from left to right...
Misaki, Nagisa, Gen, Kou, Shiho. 
They all have sort of marine-related names. (cape, shore, broadside of a ship, sailing, saltwater...)
Tumblr media
And these two we already met in Young of Prism. 
(Ushio means tide, Tsubasa means wing....)
Tumblr media
I really love the voice work on Shiho here. She really sounds so natural. So cute. Favorite Minato sibling.
Tumblr media
I know I said Yukinojo’s grandpa was best King of Prism old man, but I’m not sure anymore. Minato’s grandpa is also in the running ahah. I love his intense drama and yet down to typical old man-ness at the same time. HAVE A FISH.
Tumblr media
OVER RAIN
Okay this one is forgivable because he says their abbreviated name “O-Ba-Re” which I always struggle to translate. Usually I just spell it all out or put OtR.
Tumblr media
It was established in this episode that Minato can taste when something has been made with love. 
This means that Yamada-san’s ramen noodles were clearly MADE WITH LOVE at least.
Tumblr media
I think at one point I posted a shitty out of context spoiler about the DARK HISTORY of Edel Rose. Here you go ahah. 
Tumblr media
The cheering audience loves Yukinojo’s reaction here. Everyone be like.... nu nu nu nu nu nu..............
Tumblr media
This is the only time I know Taiga has been associated with soba except for when they just kind of decided to make it his food item on Prism Rush........ (because I guess pudding a la mode wasn’t a thing back then..............) 
Tumblr media
Minato’s reaction is notably a bit more low key than the other boys during Kakeru’s turn.
Kakeru’s catering WASNT MADE WITH LOVE 
Tumblr media
Every time I see this I think to myself that I have got to figure out where this is and go there. But I haven’t yet. 
Tumblr media
Shizuoka isn’t that far from me and I go there every few months or so for Love Live stuff or to visit Shizuoka Prism Stone, etc. A few days before Part 2 premiered I was actually in Shizuoka and actually spent a good amount of time thinking of things I might see from Shizuoka in Minato’s episode. I was at a tourist attraction (Izu-Mito Sea Paradise) where I went to the snack bar and noticed they had Mishima croquettes. It was the first time I had heard of them. But I decided on something else instead. 
So every time I see this, I think......... should have got the croquette....... 
(and now I must live with the regret.............. forever......................) 
Tumblr media
I talk a lot about how this or that is art in SSS. 
But Minato meeting Kouji REALLY IS ART 
Tumblr media
In the stream someone called this a “prismgasm” and now I can’t get that out of my head thanks.................................
Tumblr media
I love how Minato is not the first, but SECOND Edel Rose boy just entered into Edel Rose against his will by a family member ahaah. (After Taiga by his sister.) 
Okay so, let’s pause for a minute. 
As you can see here this is a senior high school application. So this means Minato was never in the junior high division of Kakyouin Academy and went straight to senior high. 
If we rewind back to Kakeru’s episode, you’ll remember that there was a flashback where Yukinojo met Kakeru back in the heyday of Edel Rose, and they were both wearing junior high uniforms. So this means that a.) The first member of the seven to enter Edel Rose was probably Yukinojo and b.) Kakeru and Yukinojo are the two who have known each other the longest. 
I don’t think you can make an exact timeline of who joined when, but it’s possible to piece together a rough estimate of the order everyone joined by the end of SSS.
So this actually destroys my headcanon that the reason Minato calls Kakeru “Kazuo” is because they have known each other the longest and he knew him before he was Kakeru. So now I don’t know what to think about that anymore ahah. 
Anyway Minato why are you taking the Shinkansen to Tokyo. It’s only like 3 hours from Shizuoka!!! That is insanely close (...... from my perspective...............) what a waste of money haha. 
Tumblr media
Favorite Minato face of all time by far. 
Tumblr media
Oh gosh this scene. This scene. Where do I even begin. I love, LOVED seeing this side of Minato. He’s always everyone’s rock (excuse me harbor) so it’s really mindblowing to actually see him all nervous and flustered and just oh gosh it made me love him so much more. 
And not to mention Kouji just dragging a boy he’s known for three seconds to eat a children’s lunch......
Tumblr media
Everyone goes nuts for this at cheering and agrees they still want to eat this kind of lunch as an adult. I guess I don’t quite understand because I was never a child in Japan haha. But this was the only moment at the mostly quiet 8am showing (when I saw it for the first time) where I could hear people laughing/freaking out.
Tumblr media
I have mentioned this already but I just have to say I really love this line. This moment. This whole concept. Minato can taste love. 
Tumblr media
I didn’t think it was noticeable from Young of Prism, but when we actually met all of Minato’s siblings and saw that Tsubasa is basically the only one who doesn’t have a marine color scheme or a directly marine-related name.... Even before this scene in the back of my head I was like..... hm...... 
The least they could have done was given her a marine-themed name geez
I had to go back and slightly change some wording in my Young of Prism translation because of this reveal.
Tumblr media
I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN I SAW THIS, AND THEN ACTUALLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN KOUJI CAME
I WANTED TO SEE SHIN’S COOKING
SHIN BABY WHAT WERE YOU GONNA COOK
Also his face
Tumblr media
It’s not “a” new dorm, he’s probably talking about the new dorm that the new boys still live in (but our seven moved back here by choice in episode 1 remember........)
Tumblr media
This is another scene where I’m kinda wondering if this plot thread seems sudden or out of place to people who don’t know the side materials. 
Minato’s confidence issues have come up on Prism Rush several times before, and I was actually waiting the entire episode for it to come up here. 
This episode in particular really requires a lot of extracurricular homework doesn’t it....
Tumblr media
I believe this is mistranslated. He used ~すら which I think should be “All I could do is watch......” JLPT N1 textbook grammar Minato why......
Tumblr media
The least they could do would be to leave a note that says “Minato” means “harbor” but that’s TOO MUCH TIME I GUESS GOTTA GET THOSE EPISODES OUT IN AN HOUR CHOP CHOP
Tumblr media
I really like this speech. It’s shockingly down to earth and refreshing. Especially compared to Kakeru and Yukinojo’s episodes. 
Like the other members of the old dudes club, Minato’s family has a tradition too. But Minato is not particularly expected to carry on that tradition since his family realizes it’s no longer viable 
Instead they encourage Minato to enjoy his youth, find himself, and if he doesn’t become a star that’s OK.... of course he can come home anytime. 
Nrrrgggghhaaaaaa such good supportive parents ahhhhhhh
Tumblr media
Been waiting a couple months to read this. In the theater all I can ever catch is Shin’s message. (But still the point comes across.) 
Tumblr media
“Well that was fast” - the cheering audience (about the sunrise, ruining this beautiful scene lol)
Tumblr media
THIS.... SHOW.........
So, a while back I casually mentioned that Kakeru and Taiga’s prism shows were in my top three. Nobody ever asked what the third one was. But. It was this one. I LOVE this show.
From the very moment Minato looks up at the camera here I just get goosebumps from head to toe, and it just stays throughout the entire show. No other prism show has ever made me feel quite this way. 
So towards the end of the Prism Rush Main Story, there is a chapter where the boys are talking about what they want to accomplish in the Prism King Cup. (This is before they know who will be in it.) Minato has a line where he talks about wanting to perform a show like warm soup or something, and as soon as I saw this show I just immediately remembered that line and thought THATS IT. 
THAT’S IT
ITS SOUP 
Even though there are so many cool colors, somehow, it just makes me feel so.... warm. 
Although it didn’t stay for as aggressively long as Joji’s did, this was the first song from Part 2 which got stuck in my head and it’s just... it’s so nice........
Also, even though I have complained about Minato always getting stuck in chef uniforms for his performance outfits I do kinda like this one. It’s the floating jellyfish scarf thing at the back that makes it I think. (I have no idea how else to describe that.) 
I hope he gets a sailor suit next time though eheh. (I like how Minato has a marine theme now too, not just food. Well, he probably always did but it’s more prominent now.)
Tumblr media
So Minato technically lost to Joji, but the individual match-ups mean nothing in the long run. (Except for you know..... the last one...... when it’s down to the wire and each side has put up their strongest member...............if you remember who that match-up is--)
It may not be obvious at first, but Minato’s prism show was pretty low leveled compared to the other boys. 
(He did start doing prism shows later than most of them after all... Um Shin being a special case.) 
He only did two jumps and they weren’t even connected. So that being considered, this score is pretty amazing for him. It makes me think the Shuffle members must only be doing like one jump per show to be scoring in the 7000s geez. 
Tumblr media
And thus the curry plot goes full circle. Minato, good for you. 
Thus ends what I know as the Part 2 episodes, and also the halfway mark of the series. (There are 12 episodes in all.) Ready or not, on to Part 3.
I really like and have been looking forward to the Part 3 episodes. I think they are a little better than Part 2, but maybe not quite as good as Part 1. I also think Part 3 is possibly the most heart-wrenching collection.... Leo’s episode in particular, which is coming up next week, I have a very strong and personal reaction to. That combined with feeling the need to point out all the PriPara references may mean my post for next week may take some extra time and be frighteningly long ahah..... ha.......

Tumblr media
General –
Height:   158.1 cm (5′1″), 163.1 cm ( 5′3″)  with heels. Weight:   48.9 kg   Ethnicity:  Japanese, mainly from Konohagakure. Occupation:  Godaime Hokage, Kunoichi, and medical ninja. Gender:  Female, cisgendered. Sexual Identification:  Demisexiual, Romantic Identification:  Demiromantic. Myers Briggs Type:  ENTJ The Commander
Specifics –
Favorite Food:   Tsunade’s favorite food canonically is fried chicken breast, but I like to believe she’s not just a one meal type of woman. She enjoys trying new dishes just as much as she does traveling. Western foods are a palate pleaser for the Sannin. You can even find her rummaging through various snack aisles—even though they’re terrible for the general health. 
Favorite Drink:  Green tea is Tsunade’s go-to along with coffee. Sometimes (when not working) she’ll spice up her coffee with sugars and spices. Sake is her favorite alcoholic drink followed closely by Western whiskey. She has three different types of sake that are her go-to drink depending on the occasion.
Favorite Hobby:  Her favorite hobby is growing herbs in her herbal garden and reading. Herbs are essential to her medicinal work. No longer is working with medicine a job—but a hobby. Furthering her own knowledge of medical nin-jutsu. She also expands her training and techniques with her other elemental types. 
Favorite Scent:  The fresh breeze when the leaves just start to turn in Konohagakure. Vanilla bean. Berries and cream. Tropical scents. Coconut. Tsunade has many, many, favorite scents and her home is littered with candles. 
Favorite Person:  It would be impossible to choose just one single person. Dan Kato would be an obvious answer, but so would Nawaki. Naruto Uzumaki or even her favorite disciples Sakura Haruno and Shizune Kato. Or the man who inspired her to become a medical ninja, Hashirama Senju. Even her favorite “pervy-no-brain” Jiraiya. 
Random –
List ten facts about your character:
1.  Tsunade’s birthday is August 2nd, making her a Leo. She’s a Leo down to her very core. Being fiery and passionate and driven. Her iron-will and determination down to vanity over her youthful appearance. The woman is a lioness in human skin. Doing what she believes is best for her people and leading them and protecting with her life. 
2.  She developed the Strength of One Hundred seal on her own and modeled it after the mark on her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki’s, forehead. Her grandmother did not have the seal itself, but in honor of her, Tsunade created a similar shape. Mito also taught Tsunade about her Uzumaki lineage and trained her in the art of seals. 
3.  Tsunade’s parents perished young, shortly after Nawaki was born. Tsunade’s mother perished from a fever that struck the village and her father fell in battle on a mission. This was another driving cause for Tsunade to become medical ninja—in order to treat such illnesses. Tsunade and Nawaki were raised the rest of their lives with their grandparents.
4.  Tsunade has completed a total of 1,256 official missions in total:  40 D-rank, 236 C-rank, 467 B-rank, 418 A-rank, 95 S-rank. This does NOT include the time spent fighting in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ninja wars. 
5.  Tsunade shares her bloodtype (B) with her fellow Sannin, Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
6.  The Godaime has a bit of a hair trigger temper and a mouth that can cause situations to go south very fast. This causes Tsunade to sometimes make rash decisions—but every decision she has made has been the best for Konohagakure. Or so she believes. When Tsunade takes  a stance on something she wholeheartedly places faith in her cause and truly thinks this is the correct way to go forward with action. . 
7.  Tsunade obtained her Byakugou seal in her early twenties. The seal remained hidden from sight with her Konohagakure headband during the 2nd and 3rd Shinobi War. After Dan perished this only caused her to feel the need to further progress and research the limits of the Byakugou. Tsunade continued to fight in the war after Dan perished as she wasn’t given the choice of desertion. After the war was finished she took Shizune along on her travels.
8.  Tsunade loves traveling. In fact when she was in her teenage years on Team Hiruzen she stated that her dream was to travel the world. At that moment in time she’d hoped it could have been with her teammates. That the Sannin would travel the world together. Today still lives out that dream. To see places and try new things. Even in the solitary company of herself it doesn’t halt her wonderlust. 
9.  Tsunade was equally close to each of her grandparents. It was never Hashirama over Mito or vice versa. She cherished them both equally and loved the two deeply. Tsunade would always come home from missions with Team Hiruzen—even into her adulthood—and present Mito with souvenirs from her travels Upon seeing Hashirama the two would play a round of cards and gamble. This continued up until their respect deaths. 
10.  Tsunade has a total of six chakra natures and could have gone any route she wanted to with her training. Instead of choosing a primarily offensive field she chose to heal others. There has always been a shortage of medical ninja and proper training and Tsunade was determined from a young age to change that. Many causalities could be prevented and in the end she saved thousands of lives. 
Five things they like:
1.  Gambling.
2.  Sake.
3.  Traveling.
4. The ocean and honoring her Uzumaki roots.
5.  Expanding medical knowledge for the younger generations.
Five things they dislike:
1.  Liver Sashimi. 
2.  Disloyalty. 
3.  Misogynists/double standards. 
4.  Being seen as just an alcoholic gambler. 
5.  Being quiet and not having her voice and opinions heard. 
Common words/phrases that annoy them?  “I can’t” or “It’s too hard.” or “I don’t want to.” Tsunade believes in hard work and perseverance. If something is too hard she expects others to dust themselves off and try again until they succeed. That’s something she can respect. If Tsunade sees that someone doesn’t give up on themselves then she will also refuse to give up on them. 
Personality types they prefer: Optimistic people. Tsunade, herself, was a cynic and skeptic for far too long and through Naruto Uzumaki she was able to change all that. Now she can see the glass half full and hope for a brighter future tomorrow. If someone is an optimist and has an element of faith to what they believe in then Tsunade is more inclined to listen and be genuinely impressed. 
Personality types they avoid: Tsunade doesn’t really have a particular personality type she avoids. Those who have double standards towards her for being a woman or for her age are people she tends to shut down or avoid. She is quick to put these people in their place and correct their misogynistic behaviors. 
What do you find different (or distinct) about your portrayal? : While all portrayals are great and unique in their own right, I know we’re all different and that’s amazing. I know that I have my own specific verses and headcanons that don’t match up with duplicates and that’s what makes us all unique and special. We all take our time and love for the same character and make her our very own. 
I think one aspect I find different about my portrayal is that I don’t play too much into Tsunade’s romance life and I don’t like to assume she had anything more than something platonic between her teammates and herself. It’s just not in my writing style to do so, but if it develops via thread then I have no problem with it. I’m a true DanTsu fan. Many of my headcanons are based off of their relationship and how it shaped Tsunade as a person.  Again no hate to anyone who portrays her differently ♥

LLSHP(P) Prelude - Wish
Main Story: [LLSHP AU - Yoshiko Tsushima and the Fallen Angel]
[Brief note about School Term] [other LLSHP AU stuff] [YohaMaRuby concept arts] [ChikaYouRiko concept arts] [KanaDiaMari concept arts] [Hogwarts Staff]
[FFN link] [Pixiv Link] [Translated to Chinese by plin2290]
Sequel blips: TriWizard Tournament series
A/N: Here’s the prequel story Delphinus, about Mari, Kanan and Dia’s early years at Hogwarts. Just a short prelude here to start things off, to show the kind of tone in this prequel. As stated before, this will mostly be in Mari’s POV, a lighter tale in comparison to the Main Story.
Reminder Mari, Dia and Kanan are 15yo, 14yo, 14 yo respectively here, and they have a bit different characterizations than in the main story since, well, they’re just starting their first year. They have not grown to be the senpais that Yoshiko knows them as in the Main Story, so stay tuned to see their growth and how they become close~ Without further ramblings  ado, here’s the prelude!
Words: 4,121
The door creaks loudly as it is pulled to a close.
She smiles nostalgically at the noise, wondering when the next time it would be for her to open this equipment shed, if ever again. Her heart thuds mournfully at the sight of this old building basked under the setting sun, like it has already blended into the scenery as a forgotten relic of the past. Shaking her head, she turns away resolutely and walks towards the plank that serves as the bridge between the port and the small boat.
Briskly, she hops onto the rickety boat, not all all deterred by the way it bobbed up and down along the waves. Her hand fondly brushes against the rusty walls as she enters the steering room, her steps gradually slowing to a stop. She bows respectfully before reaching for the small photo frame that hung from above the helm.
“I’d love to take you with me, Jii-chan, but you’d probably prefer to stay here by the sea, wouldn’t you?”
The elderly man is grinning back at her, his lively spirit nicely captured within the picture. Very carefully, she placed the photo frame onto the table she had set right beside the helm.
“I’ll be back in a few months, don’t worry. Maybe I’ll have some neat tricks to show you, maybe I can even reel in a big bluefin tuna! But, you’d prefer that I catch one with my own power, ne?”
The quiet echo of her own voice saddens her but she reigns in her emotions and manages to exit the boat with a placid expression. To her surprise, there are people waiting for her by the equipment shed.
“Kanan-chan!” “Kanan-chan!”
Kanan Matsuura steadies herself in time to catch an orange and silver shape. The two 12-year-olds sure have grown so much! It only seems like yesterday when she first played dodgeball and bug-catching with her childhood friends in the nearby park, all carefree and happy.
“I’ll be back after the first term, I promise, Chika, You.”
Chika’s characteristic ahoge is droopy as she woefully peers up at Kanan, while You has burrowed herself against Kanan’s side.
“Promise?”
“Promise.” Kanan musters up her most easy-going smile and playfully wraps each arm around the girls’ shoulders. “When have I ever broken a promise to you two?”
“True…but! This ‘private’ school, why is it so secretive?” “Yeah, why can’t we go with you? Or I can ask Shima-nee or even Mito-nee to go with you?”
“It’s okay. A Professor is coming to escort me there. Don’t worry, she’s been very nice and helpful.” Honestly, the young girls’ worried faces are enough to make her heart melt. It’s staggering to know that there are still people in the world who cares this much about her, that she isn’t alone.
And that’s enough for her.
“Come on, it’s already getting dark. Your families will be worried if you don’t get home soon,” Kanan ignores the stifling feeling inside her chest at uttering these words, and gently nudges Chika and You away from the port. “I’ll be fine.”
The two girls only manage to walk a few paces away before turning back to give her one last tackling hug. Kanan almost stumbles from the force but she embraces them just as tightly.
“Write to us as soon as you get there!” “Remember to tell us all about the school!”
Kanan waves at them, calling and exchanging words with Chika and You even as the duo walks away. It is only until the two girls are out of sight that she allows her forcefully cheerful demeanor to drop.
Her expression probably looks awful right now but at least there is only one witness.
“They truly are worried about you. They are good girls.”
“They’re like little sisters to me,” Kanan says proudly, not too startled when a woman materializes out of thin air near her, as if she’s been concealed behind a veil of invisibility all this time. “I try to be someone they can look up to but it’s been hard.”
“I understand. Have you packed up everything?”
“...yeah. I guess I have. I’ve already cleaned up everything back at the house and here too,” she glances at the boat and the equipment shed one more time before turning to face the new arrival. The beautiful woman has cascading hair as blue as the sea itself, which is also her namesake. Her kind amber eyes and her deep, sonorous voice have a calming effect on Kanan, the same feeling she has whenever she is out by the sea.
Indeed, in spite of the unknown future, Kanan feels relaxed around the witch named Umi Sonoda.
“As we had discussed before, you may return here during the Christmas break, and you can always Owl them letters.”
“Right. Owling letters. That’ll be interesting,” Kanan allows a small smile to appear. “Birds always seem to like You. I’m sure Owls would too.” A thought then occurs to her, that both of her childhood friends have experienced odd events as well, ones that could count as displays of accidental magic. Perhaps, in a few years or so, they would also get that special acceptance letter?
And they could all study together in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
As if reading her thoughts, the woman speaks softly. “That is indeed possible. I have sensed something special in those two girls.”
“Of course. They are very special, especially to me.”
“You are special too, Kanan.”
“... I don’t know about that. What I do know is, I’m ready to leave this place behind,” Kanan chuckles wryly and picks up her small backpack.
“Are you certain? We are ahead of schedule so there is no need to rush. It is your home after all.”
“It’s okay. I’ve… said my goodbyes. Besides, it’s not my home, not anymore.”
“Kanan…”
“It’s not a home if no one is there.” She thoroughly believes this thought, even when Grandpa was still alive. It doesn’t matter what city or what sort of house she lives in. As long as the people she cherishes is there to welcome her home, then she will call it just that.
“I see.” The witch sounds a bit sad but respectful. “I hope you will like Hogwarts then.”
“Me too. I mean it when I told you that I’m looking forward to it.” At this, Kanan shuffles awkwardly and tries to meet the woman’s gaze. “While I really appreciate you coming here to pick me up, but I could’ve gone to King’s Cross myself, uh, Umi.”
It still feels slightly odd to be calling her so familiarly, but after spending the last few weeks in her company, especially after everything she’s done for her, ‘Sonoda-san’ seems too distant. When she first called Umi directly, the witch had been very happy, and that was enough of a reason for Kanan to continue calling her that. Moreover, this sense of closeness makes her feel connected to this new path in life.
“I am certain that you could. I am accompanying you because I want to. Humor me?” Umi smiles kindly as she holds out her hand.
The image is superimposed with the one from the night Kanan first met her. The witch had come to her home, requesting to speak to her guardian. After Umi was told that there weren’t any, not anymore, and learned about the teenager’s predicament, she had held out her hand and offered to take her away.
It was like being given a lifeline.  
It’s been surreal to learn about the world of magic, that the nifty little tricks she’s done throughout her childhood are actually due to magic. As fascinated as she is though, she remains skeptical of how she would fit in this new world. She prefers things to be simple and she thought that she would stay in this seaside town even after she grows up, watching over her little world because she is familiar with everything here.
But her grandfather isn’t here anymore, and she is given a chance to escape this shattered dream. Everything’s changed and it’s too painful to call this town her home nowadays.
With a deep breath, Kanan takes Umi’s hand and allows the latter to Apparate them away. She doesn’t want anything and doesn’t dare to wish for more. She’ll do whatever she could, to find a place she could call home again, a new world to watch over.
Perhaps, Hogwarts has the answer she seeks.
====================
Within the massive extravagant painting, the Black Jaguar swishes its tail languidly with its head rested on its crossed paws. In spite of its relaxed demeanor, its sharp eyes remain predatory as it stares at her from its perch high in the tree. The progenitor of the Kurosawa family rarely deems to speak and usually remains in his Animagus form to impose an intimidating presence on whoever is summoned to the main manor’s grand office. Likewise, all the portraits of past Heads of this prestigious Pureblood family are silent as they cast their judgemental gazes upon her.
Dia Kurosawa remains unmoved in her seiza position, her back straight and her expression serene. Her legs are numb and her heart is beating fast from all the pressure, yet she does not allow any hint of discomfort to slip through her rigid demeanor. She needs to be every bit as indomitable as her name.
The Patriarch calmly sips his tea and does not offer an explanation as to why he has summoned her to his office. The silence, however, is merely a test and an inaudible conversation has already begun between the heiress and her grandfather.
Despite years of cultivating her patience and the austere image of a Pureblood heiress, she is quite relieved when the Patriarch finally speaks.
“Time passes by within a blink of an eye, does it not?”
“Yes, Grandfather.”
“I still remember when you first bonded with your wand. Your parents, many of your relatives, and even myself, have wands of dragon heartstring core. But a wand of phoenix feather core has chosen you, just as it had chosen our great Founder in the past. It pleases me, Dia, that you have shown such potential already. I believe you have been taking well care of your gift?”
“I have been keeping it safe and polished, just as it is meant to be.” At this, Dia allows a hint of a smile to grace her features. The carbonado necklace is a possession she prizes above all else, a symbol of recognition from her family. While it is traditional for a Kurosawa to receive a jewel in association with his or her name after bonding with a wand, hers is more special than anyone else’s. The priceless black diamond can store magic, a powerful accessory that can eventually act as a shield against even the worst of Dark Magic.
Certainly, the item is meant to be given to the significant other, like how her father had given his carnelian brooch to her mother, but Dia does not foresee herself ever finding such a person in her life. Therefore, the carbonado necklace is hers to keep and it will protect her.
The Kurosawa doctrine is to ‘strike before stricken’, which Dia believes in as well, but it does not hurt to have that extra defense should all else fail. Because, really, she would rather avoid any confrontations even though she is confident in her own ability to take on anything.
“Very good. Once you have proven yourself worthy, you will receive the heirloom that our great Founder and I have chosen for you.”
The Kurosawa sabre.   
Her heart sinks even though she has expected it already. She is the heiress after all, and nothing is more symbolic and prestigious than the sabre which is said to rival the famous Godric Gryffindor’s sword.
The Patriarch speaks further of her responsibilities and expectations now that she is going to Hogwarts, and only dismisses her once he finds her responses satisfactory. After giving him and the Black Jaguar portrait a respectful bow, Dia exits the office in a graceful manner. It is only after she is well out of the main manor that she picks up her pace, relieved to be out of that stifling place.
Her gaze sweeps over the extensive Kurosawa estate, both enjoying the beautiful scenery but also conflicted over her desire to leave her home. She has seen the world beyond, from the galas that her family has hosted to the other formal events the Patriarch took her along with as a guest. While the prospect of fully presenting herself as the heiress is daunting, she also cannot wait to explore the endless possibilities that the society offers.
Perhaps, in time, she will finally be able to hold her head up proudly of who she is, instead of forcing herself to maintain this facade.
She exhales tiredly once she arrives at her home, a moderate-sized building in comparison to the main manor. Only her immediate family lives here, though her relatives visit often due to the various meetings that her father holds or the apprentices who bring items from the family apothecary to her mother. One day, she would like to have her own private housing, one that can be granted to her if she shows the Patriarch how much she accomplishes.
She must do well in Hogwarts if it meant earning her miniscule freedom.
After briefly greeting an uncle by the engawa, she enters the living room to find her parents enjoying the afternoon tea together. It is really only under the comforts of their own home that her parents appear this relaxed. Unlike the many arranged marriages that her relatives had, her parents are fortunate to actually be in love with each other and therefore the atmosphere at home is more pleasant than some of her cousins’. At least, that’s what she had heard, since there is no cousin near her age, the closest one being a decade older.
She urges her parents to enjoy this rare downtime together instead of sending her off, assuring them that she can get to Hogwarts by herself. After a few more exchanges, both her parents solemnly wish her the best of luck, her father giving her an encouraging nod while her mother sends her a small smile.
Dia pushes aside the persistent yearning for a pat on the head, or even a hug, and politely excuses herself to get ready for her trip. As soon as she enters her own room, she notices something out of place. Warily but calmly, she casts a spell to reveal the hidden presence.
“Pigi!”
Her 10-year-old little sister, shivering, slowly steps forward with her head lowered, most likely expecting a reprimand. Sighing, Dia puts away her wand and speaks quietly so that she doesn’t startle her easily-frightened sister.
“You are too young to be able to master the Disillusionment Charm, Ruby. However, you have improved a lot.”
“R-Really-? Thanks, Onee-chan!” A bright smile morphs on the little girl’s face, a cute expression that matches the bunny plushie that Dia had given her years ago. She then notices the traveler’s cloak that Dia is already wearing, and quickly runs forward to cling to her.
“Y-You’re l-leaving already?”
Dia so badly wants to return the hug but she could sense house-elves close by. Open display of emotion is considered a sign of weakness and Ruby’s standing within their family already isn’t very good. Not wanting to be reported to him through the house-elves as they are ordered to do, Dia simply pulls away and speaks firmly.
“You should get back to your lesson. I believe your Transfiguration tutor is already outside at the engawa.”
Ruby flinches, her doe-like eyes welling up with tears at the rejection. Dia grits her teeth and desperately hopes for her sister to understand her intention.
“I will return for the Christmas break. I expect you to show even more improvements by then.”
“O-Okay…” Ruby tucks the plushie under her chin and, as if in a burst of defiance, hugs Dia one more time. “I’ll miss you, Onee-chan.”
Not trusting herself to speak, Dia merely nods and stands as still as a pillar even long after Ruby leaves her room. She glances at the big modified broom collecting dust at the corner, recalling the innocent days when she took her little sister for flights around the Estate, when they had more freedom.
Just a few more years. Once she’s a legal adult, surely, she can do something. But what? All the other Kurosawas followed the Patriarch’s wish and became Aurors, Curse-breakers and so on. Those few who rebelled or were considered blemishes in the family name were cast out. She does not want that to happen to her and most of all, not her precious little sister.
Indeed, what lies in her future? Their future? Frankly, she is very afraid.
Smiling humorlessly, she begins to pack her luggage for school. Hogwarts will be a temporary refuge for her. She has five years to become used to the fact that her life is already planned out for her. There is no point in struggling against it.
She will take what Hogwarts has to offer, and return the favor by being an exceptional student that both her family and herself will be proud of.
She shall invest just the right amount of her heart, no more and no less.
==============================
“Thank you very much for coming! Take care!”
She plasters the shiniest smile she could summon onto her face and bids her guests farewell with just right balance between exuberance and poise.
As soon the last of the guests disappears from the fireplace via Floo Powder, she flops onto the carpet like a cat that just lost all its bones.
“Aaaah, I’m so tired! My face hurts from smiling too much!”
Mari Ohara proceeds to close her eyes and begins to nap there and then. Combined with the fragrance of coffee, the lulling quiet cackles from the fireplace and the melodious violin in the background, she’s truly immersed in this heaven of her home. While her family owns many properties around the world, this mansion on the private island is her personal favorite!
When something prods at her arm persistently, she whines and peeks open one eye. “Daaaaad!”
“Now now, those guests are esteemed members of Ilvermorny Scholars. It’s always vital to have connections! You never know when you need favors.”
The Head of the Ohara household strokes his beard with theatrical flair, his crooked grin belying his serious words. If it weren’t for his friendly demeanor, the way he dresses would have a commoner mistaken him for an important governor or even royalty!
The influential businessman chuckles as he continues to nudge at his daughter’s arm with his toe, and laughs harder when she playfully punches his shin. “But dad, they’re all so boring!”
“That they are, that they are. But honey, it’s through such connections I was able to get the best of the best Hippogriffs for you years ago, hmm?”
Mari pouts, unable to refute. Her Starbright is her darling and indeed the most amazing pet ever. The magical creature always seems to know where she wants to go and has always been watchful of her. Between even the world-class broom and her beloved Starbright, of course she prefers flying on her Hippogriff!
“But you’re right, I’m worn out too! Or, what is it that you youngsters say nowadays? I’m pooped?” Her dad also slumps onto the carpet beside her. The two share a cat-like grin before synchronizing in lying spread-eagle. Before they could close their eyes though, a loud cough makes them wince. They warily look up to see Mrs. Ohara looking down at them, her arms folded.
“If only all those guests could see you two right now. Whatever would they think?”
“That we’re super awesome?” Her dad offers.
The stern expression on her mom doesn’t last long as she crouches beside him and flicks his beard. The corner of her lips twitches a bit as if she’s trying hard not to muffle laughter. “Yes, yes, you’re the best.”
“Did you hear that, Mari-chan? Your mom approves!” Laughing, he struggles to sit up and cheerfully kisses his wife, who returns the gesture just as passionately.
“Eeww, no public display of affection please,” Mari covers her eyes but giggles when her parents lean in to peck her cheeks as well.
Her mom even ruffles her hair fondly. “I think you should go get ready, Mari-chan. You’ll be late for the train if you don’t hurry.”
At this, her dad groans loudly. “Oh that’s right, my baby girl’s going to Hogwarts! I can’t believe it’s already time!”
“Dad, I’m fifteen already.”
“Yes, and ready to date, you’re at that age, you can’t deceive me!” He lets out a scandalous scoff. “I can see it already, the moment my beautiful daughter steps foot into that castle, all those stupid, hormonal boys-”
“Dad, I like girls.”
“- girls are going to be all over you so I’m gonna Jinx them before they even-”
Mari rolls her eyes and zones him out, though her smile remains on her face and unlike the case with the guests, this one comes from the bottom of her heart. She came out to her parents not too long ago, but it seems like her dad’s already gotten used to it as if it’s old news. Sure, there may be slip-ups here and there about the gender stereotype, like now, but she could truly feel her dad’s effort in trying to make her like it’s the norm. Her mom is only too happy at the prospect of possibly having two daughters in the future.
Geez! She hasn’t even gone on a date with anyone and her parents are already planning way ahead!
Still, she loves them and she knows that she’ll always be her dad’s perfect little princess. Giggling, she gives her parents a loving hug before skipping towards her room to pack up. She isn’t wholly surprised that her house-elves have already prepared all the necessities while leaving room for her to place extra items.
Grinning mischievously, she stuffs a few more dresses and bags of her favorite coffee beans into her luggage. And, just because she could, she hops from the balcony of her room and is safely caught by her clever Hippogriff.
“That’s really dangerous, dear.” Her dad knows she would pull this stunt and thus is already waiting for her by the foyer. Mrs. Ohara also comes out of the house a moment later to stand beside her husband. Starbright approaches them without needing Mari to give instructions.
“I only do that because I trust Starbright will be there for me. You too, dad~”
He shakes his head as her overly sweet tone. “Gosh, I’m so going to miss you around here, princess. Well then, as promised, we’ll let you get to the station by yourself, on this ol’rascal here. Make sure nothing happens to her, capsice?”
The Hippogriff paws at the ground once, with its neck ramrod straight, to show that it will do its utmost best in escorting its mistress.
“What was the other thing you promised, dad?”
“... no mushy farewells, I know.” After taking a deep breath, Mr. Ohara gazes affectionately at her and smiles. “Enjoy yourself at Hogwarts, stellina, and definitely tell us if anything happens! In bocca al lupo!”
“Crepi! I’ll miss you both.” Mari winks back and, with a nudge to Starbright, the young witch-Hippogriff pair then takes to the sky.
She hums to herself, thinking for the umpteenth time that she’s probably the most fortunate person in the whole world. She has parents who love her, accepting her unconditionally and always providing anything she requests within reason. They spoil her really, and she knows that, and so she always tries to be the daughter they can be proud of. In spite of her complaints, she really does enjoy helping her father increase his influence and obtain more connections with important figures around the world.
Naturally, she’s excited about Hogwarts, but she’s also been to Beaubaxton, Durmstrang and even Ilvermorny a few times while accompanying her parents and they are all amazing schools! Therefore, going to Hogwarts only feels like being on an extended trip, rather than ‘her home for the next five years of her life’.
Indeed, she has everything she’s ever wanted. She’s happy, so what else could she possibly need at Hogwarts?
Mari grins as she urges Starbright to fly faster.
Well, she can always wish for more, can’t she?
stellina - my little star
In bocca al lupo - Italian slang equivalent to english slang of ‘breaking a leg’
Crepi - Italian slang equivalent of ‘gotcha’ responding to the above

//cracks knuckles// A chance to learn more about the Next Gen? Okay, here we go ((I hope it's not too much ;w; But I am really interested): 2,4,27,29,36,38 for Sumire; 19, 21,23,26,27,40 for Yuna; 10, 31,32,32 for Maria; 7,8,18,30,41,43,44,45 for Akane
Thanks for the ask! These are all great questions!
Mimasaka Sumire 
2. Does your OC collect anything? What do they collect?
It’s not a formal collection, but Sumire has a considerable arsenal of scented candles. She always organizes them by scent, brand, color, and name.
4. What kind of clothing does your OC wear?
Very, very preppy! Flats and cardigans are her religion. 
27. What kind of childhood did your character have?
She had a relatively pleasant childhood. Her parents were both kind of odd, but they tried to make sure they raised her normally (by doing an unreal amount of research); the end result was her love of romance dramas and designer bags. 
Her mom passes away when she’s in her early teens and it’s really hard for her to adjust. She would have ended up leaving school if her friends weren’t there for her. 
29. If they could choose their epitaph for their grave, what would they choose?
“Brevity is the soul of wit” –William Shakespeare
36. What does your character want most? What do they need really badly, compulsively? What are they willing to do, to sacrifice, to obtain?
What Sumire really wants, especially after her mother’s death, is to be able to fully control her life. This is part of why her preference for knowing a lot turns into a mild obsession with information. She has files on all her “notable” classmates at Totsuki, their strengths, weaknesses, secrets. 
She’d be willing to break the law—well, only some laws—in order to find out what she needs to know in order to get the upper hand. 
38. What would your character do with a million dollars? 
She’d buy her dad a house to retire in, then she’d buy herself condo in Hong Kong and spend what’s left over on designer shoes. 
Mauri Yuna
19. What kind of music do they listen to? Do they have a favorite song?
Yuna mostly listens to pop. One of her favorite songs would be “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran 
21. What personal problems/issues do they have? Pet peeves?
One of Yuna’s problems as a young person is that all her her life she’s been friends with really popular kids and/or, but she’s never really been one of them. Because of this, she feels like she’s a burden to a lot of her friends because they always have to protect her or fight her battles. 
Her pet peeve is when people are mean for sport. She finds that kind of thing really catty and annoying. 
23. What is a random fact about your OC? 
Not counting cooking practicum classes, Yuna has the highest academic GPA in the 119th generation. 
26. Who is the most important person in their life? Why? Who is the least important to them that still has an impact and why?
The most important person in Yuna’s life is her younger sister, Ami. Yuna cares so much about her sister, and she wants to look out for her, but it’s difficult because they’re nothing alike. 
The least important person who still has an impact is Isabella Mito-Aldini. Because she’s related to Maria, involved with Sosuke, and one of Ami’s mentors, Yuna sees and hears about this frustrating person WAY more than she’d like.
27. What kind of childhood did your character have?
Yuna’s childhood was a little bit challenging. She was always quiet and reserved as a child and people kind of walked all over her because of it. Sosuke always stuck up for her when they were in elementary school, but it was impossible for him to see everything. Also, she never felt particularly close to her mom—especially after Ami was born. 
40. Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where are they going? What do they wear? Who will they be with?
Yuna is probably going out to the movies with Maria. She’s wearing jeans and sneakers and her usual hair ribbons. 
Maria Aldini
10. What deadly sin would best represent your OC?
Hmm…Maria’s generally a good girl, but her deadly sin would probably be lust. She could never understand why Isabella entertained so many boys, but then she met Raiden and shit got real! Megumi definitely walked in on them making out in Tuscany that first summer they met, and even after they get back to Totsuki she has to stop herself from crossing the line. 
Later on, Isshiki Kesuke puts her through the ringer too. 
31. What is their most traumatic memory/experience? What is their favorite memory?
Her most traumatic memory is seeing her grandmother collapse in her ryokan when she was eleven. She was really scared, and because of that event Maria always gets worried when people in her life are overworking themselves. 
Her favorite childhood memory is taking ice skating lessons with Isabella when they were five. Maria was kind of bad at it (she was too scared to fall and kept holding on to the edge of the rink) but she remembers how her cousin could already land jumps and do spins. Takumi would always take the two of them for hot chocolate and dessert afterwards and praise Maria a lot even when all she did was fall. 
32. If they could have one thing in the world, what would it be?
If Maria could have one thing while she’s in high school, she’d probably abolish the Elite Ten Council. However, in general, she’d probably want a never-ending supply of dark chocolate. 
Hayama Akane
7. What element would your OC be?
I think she would be air. 
8. What is your OC’s theme song? 
“Flawless” by Beyonce
18. What are your OC’s greatest fears? Weaknesses? Strengths?
Akane’s greatest fear is that she would be the reason her family falls apart. Things got really tense between her parents and her maternal grandparents when she announced that she wanted to go to art school instead of Totsuki. The Aratos were not happy with that decision, and she overheard a really nasty argument about it that made her feel like if she didn’t just suck it up and go to Totsuki, the damage would be irreparable. 
If we’re talking about weaknesses, Raiden is probably a huge one! Even after she’s basically running her own faction at Totsuki, it’s still her instinct to acquiesce to whatever he wants. She’s trying to work through it, though. Also, while she keeps her composure really well in public, she doesn’t handle stress well at all. When it gets really bad, she occasionally has panic attacks (but only Erik and Sumire know this about her). 
Her biggest strength is her dedication and focus. Once she has a goal, she won’t stop working until she’s achieved it. She’s also very creative and good with developing strategies. 
30. Do they want to get married? Why or why not? Would they ever want kids? Do they have kids? Why?
Not particularly. Her mentor, Mizuhara Himari, put it in her head that love is a hindrance for high-achieving women. She’s not adamant about never getting married, but it isn’t a priority for her at all. 
However, she’s always enjoyed being a mentor to younger girls (e.g. Nakiri Sofia, Marui Ami)  and she wants to have a daughter of her own some day. 
41. What does your character do when they’re angry? Why?
Ahh. This is probably Akane’s worst habit, but when she’s upset about something she tends to take it out on people who aren’t the real cause of her stress. Case in point, when she’s losing her mind over the idea of Maria x Raiden, she ends up getting into a lot more shokugekis and taking over a lot more academy real estate than she normally would. 
43. What was the most offensive thing your character had ever said?
Hmm…she doesn’t say a lot of mean things outright (she’s the type of person who throws shade and makes passive-aggressive comments). However, she does—on one isolated occasion—refer to Maria as a “manipulative bitch in sheep’s clothing.” 
44. How does your character react/ accept criticism?
It depends on who’s giving the criticism. She’s very receptive to feedback from people she respects or sees as more experienced. She actually begged Tsukasa Eishi to give her more constructive criticism during her stagiaire. 
However, she will not tolerate disrespect from anyone who isn’t on her level or higher. 
45. If your character was given a slice of pineapple pizza and they HAD to eat it (or something bad would happen), how would they react? Do they even LIKE pineapple pizza?
She would eat it as long as it smelled good, tbh. If she going to have fruit on her pizza, she would prefer for it to be a gorgonzola and pear type of situation, but she can live with pineapple.

December 2021
Tumblr media
(Artist: Saki Ukai | Series: Isekai Goumon Hime)
No. of Reviews: 1
Once again, I have been unmotivated to read light novels. Instead, I’ve been watching Fate/Grand Order playthroughs on YouTube because I watched the Babylonia anime last month and it was way better than I expected it to be so I wanted to finally experience the game. It’s a bit of an uneven experience but I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m up to Lostbelt 3 but my favourite chapters so far have been Epic of Remnant 1 & 4. There are a couple of other reasons that I only got around to 1 volume this month: we got a new puppy and I’ve been spending a lot of my time on playing and toilet training, and I’m procrastinating heavily on the next volume of Sword Oratoria which is a very long volume. I’m going to try to finish it soon.
Also, I did watch the Sword Art Online Progressive movie this month and I really liked it. It fully brought out the charm of the series with gorgeous animation and the characters being such big dorks. I love Mito as well and I love that she’s a fully realised character with her own arc whose presence changes Asuna’s narrative and her dynamic with Kirito. Like, because Asuna had formed a party Mito prior to meeting Kirito, he doesn’t teach her how to play the game because she already knows. I like that a lot and there’s a lot of other small additions which helped to make the story even better. I highly recommend it and I’m excited for the sequel.
Usually I do a top 10 light novels post and a recommendations post but there hasn’t been any change in the ranking this year and the only new series that I want to recommend people is Kami wa Game ni Ueteiru. It’s just been a pretty bad year in new light novel releases for me and I hope next year is better.
Now, onto the anime!
Irina: I didn’t like this as much as I anticipated I would. I liked it well enough but I wasn’t excited to watch a new episode each week and I found myself zoning out when watching it a lot. It’s a fine adaptation and a fine anime but it didn’t blow me away or anything.
Ranking of Kings: SO GOOD. That is all.
86 Season 2: When I was watching the first season, the thing that impresed me the most was the cinematography and story-telling and that has not changed in the second season. The cinematography is just so gorgeous and it really boosts every other element of the show and makes them so much more enjoyable. It’s an already interesting story being elevated to a whole new level thanks to the stunning visuals and I enjoy it a lot. I do miss Lena but I like how the first season was kind of her narrative and character arc while the second one is Shin’s. I actully think it’s a bit of a good thing that the show has been able to make delays because all too often nowadays I hear of horror stories of overwork in animation and it’s good that the staff are able to take the time to make the episodes as good as they are. I eagerly await the final episodes of the season.
Tropical Rouge Precure: Picked this one up this month because I wanted something to calm my nerves and Healin’ Good did a great job with that when I watched it a few months ago. It took me a little while to warm up to this one, mostly because I kept on negatively comparing it to Healin’ Good and Heartcatch in my head, but I got hooked at around episode 15. It’s just really fun and I love Laura and her character arc. I will say that I do think that one’s enjoyment with the series is dependent on how much they like Laura because she really gets the most focus and development out of the entire cast so I don’t think it would be nearly as fun if the person watching did not like Laura. Like I said, I love her and I think a large part of that comes down to Rina Hidaka’s charismatic performance. I like Asuka and Minori a lot as well, Manatsu has her occasional moments and Sango is great when she’s actually given something to do, which is all too rare. I’m really enjoying it and I hope it has a strong ending.
I am currently watching The Aquatope on White Sand and am enjoying it a lot but I haven’t finish it yet. I’ll be talking about my favourite series next month so that I can catch up on some series that I missed while they were airing beforehand. Next season, I’ll be picking up the new seasons of PriConne and Vanitas. Hopefully, I’ll also be able to watch Sasaki and Miyano as I’m a big fan of the manga.
List of Reviews:
Hataraku Maou-sama! 15
Next year, my light novel resolution is to read 3-5 volumes a month. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. There aren’t any new releases that I’m interested in next month but I have so many recent ones that I have to catch up on so hopefully I’ll get the chance to.
Happy New Years!

Through The Eyes Of...
Love Live Sunshine, Kanan, 1.4K
My @lovelivesecretsanta2017 gift for drea aka sinnhoes on Twitter. You wanted Kanan and since I tend to draw robots and write Idols, I went for fanfic. Hope you don’t mind. Since you didn’t specify a ship, I finally decided to just let at least 1,000 words paint a picture of Kanan for you through the eyes of the rest of Aquors. Merry Christmas! Best wishes for the New Year. I hope you enjoy this.
Yohane  
The common lilac, purple and fragile, common in its name and exotic in its color and fragrance, lives in her eyes, the petals having drifted down from some angelic height to find a human host. In them, Yohane sees all that she has lost, having fallen to a much darker place than the physical vessel hosting the doors to a view of Eden’s beautiful garden.
Yoshiko
How does Kanan do it? It wears me out, watching her, I mean there she is running and running and running and then, once she stops, shakes her hair, ponytail flipping back and forth, not even breathing heavily, everyone’s attention is drawn to her. There’s a perfect pause. A nothing. An empty space. Yin, when the moment before had been all yang. And yet, they are all caught in it, as if a magnet rushed by. SHE DOES NOTHING. No riptide dragging anyone along. SHE JUST STANDS THERE. And everyone stares. EVERYONE. Even Yohane. It’s like a bit of heaven has broken off to remind her of her loss. Then Yohane weeps. And I marvel.
You
Kanan...man, it’s like your best friend is also your best wingwoman is also the best person to have your back. Sure, with Chika, things are fun, and kind of amazing, but with Kanan, I don’t have to worry, whatever we do, Kanan’s right there, cheering me on or cheering me up. If I need someone to dig the perfect set for a spike or give me workout advice for swim team or stay up past midnight talking about how much I miss being out on the water with my Dad, Kanan’s right there. No pressure. Just a friendly ear and then, when we’re talked out, she pulls me up and dares me to beat her at sprinting or swimming or... I never win, but the challenge is what I need. And Kanan knows that.
Dia
To be blessed with the best of friends is an incomparable gift. Kanan is such a blessing.  Kanan, truly an exemplar of femininity. So strong, yet so fragile, so calm, yet so passionate, so serious and yet so silly, especially when Mari’s there to exert her influence. But when Mari wasn’t, when she’d flown off, misunderstanding Kanan’s intent, and Kanan had been left, she wasn’t alone. I saw the hurt. I’d always known Kanan was wounded more easily than anyone suspected, I’m surprised Mari never realized, but when Kanan pitched into despair, it was a crime against nature. Kanan was meant to be buoyant, to be ebullient, to show her inner beauty through the outer perfect form, to illustrate what Nature could achieve. So, with great care and concern, I helped my friend. To see that smile again.
Hanamaru
Kanan...to describe her, like you might a book, let’s see, zura.  The cover, the outside, shows you strength and determination and grace, in the set of her jaw and the way she moves like water flows, with ease and mystery, compelled by powerful forces swirling deep. Open the book, read the pages, and there is kindness and warmth and caring, the light caresses of wind, sweeping away the clouds, the delicate kisses of spring and pollen and birdsong. You would find Kanan in the heart of a fairytale, someone ready to travel the world, to step up against darkness, to break down a fortress tower, and then when the sword and lance and shield are laid aside, to lead you into a merry dance, laughing, a brighter future wrapping around her like the cape of a prince, beautiful midnight hair sparkling with stars, in the light of moon and candles.
Riko
Kanan…*giggles*...it’s fun watching Chika and You and Kanan being Chika and You and Kanan...I imagine them 60 years from now, gray haired, still moving faster than the rest of us, sitting outside the dive shop, watching tourists and ships, gossiping, playing cards, standing up to lend a strong hand when anybody needs it. And Kanan is always the first to stand...she’s so cool and smooth, there’s like this movie star air about her, her hair always just glides perfectly, her eyes always shining. They’re like a spotlight, when Kanan looks at you, you can’t really look away, unless it’s because you...not me, of course, oh no, not me, feel suddenly shy and find yourself wondering how easy it would be for Kanan to lean over, smile, flex those amazing shoulders and catch you up in her arms.  Not that I’ve been dreaming or anything...nope.
Ruby
Kanan...Dia always says Kanan is like part of our family and that’s how it’s always felt. Like I have another older sister, pretty and caring and keeping an eye on me. It’s why I don’t worry so much if Dia’s too busy for an Aquors rehearsal; Kanan will be there if anything weird happens or someone gets hurt. Kanan always makes sure Hanamaru doesn’t exhaust herself and Yoshiko does.  She knows so much about everyone, she says she can tell from watching how people stand and walk, but I haven’t figured out the clues yet. Kanan makes me feel safe. I want to dance like her, too, she’s so graceful. She knows so much about HOW to be an Idol and she’s never too tired to talk to me about it. So I think about what Kanan tells me when I practice dance steps in my room.  I can hear her encouraging me. Just like Dia does. Ruby has the best sisters.
Chika
Mito-nee and Shima-nee could learn some things from Kanan. Kanan always knows if I’m worried about something. And she never steals my dessert or bangs on my door to tell me to be quiet or nags me about my homework. She’s just awesome. Like a big sister should be. How could you not love her? She’s helped me so much. It’s like when I was learning to swim: Kanan’s always a little bit ahead, but never so far ahead that she can’t come back to help if I need it. And we have so much fun, with You, telling jokes and playing pranks...we laugh so hard sometimes, I just roll around on the floor. And Kanan’s right there next to me. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when she’s overseas.
Mari
Bella. Every time, you come out of the sea, Kanan, Venus is born again, like Botticelli’s...wind blowing your beautiful, flowing hair but instead of being scattered, the modest violets are found in your eyes. Incantevole. You have enchanted me with the glowing wonder of your eyes when my less confident glance first met them.  So stubborn sometimes, I could almost kick you, but then the nearer I get , the more of your gentle kindness I remember. I have travelled so far, Cara Mia, and live daily among treasures of art and nature, but I would trade them all, and the wealth they represent, to steal you away from everything for a single perfect moment. It rains on the wet and God has rained so many gifts on you...and I stand, humble for once, as I stare at your silhouette against the sky and sea, and see Nature at perfection.
Ah, it is too easy to write and too hard to speak in scattered tongues, so, my heart, just let me be close to yours as we dream together.
Kanan
Strange to watch my hand in the water sometimes. A part of something that’s always a part of me, yet we can never merge. But I get the cool on my skin, where the sun’s been warm. And if I go in deeper, there’s the weightlessness, the pushing against nothing that propels me forward as fast as I want to go, as deep as I can get, as lost in the sounds as I can be.
Aquors makes me so happy, being with my friends makes me glad that Chika decided to be an Idol and Mari returned to push us ALL to do this. I never thought we’d have this again, the 3 of us together, me, Mari and Dia. And now there’s 9. And all the things we’ve done together. That’s all there, the memories floating over us like clouds.
Ah, twirl and leap, air is nothing like water, but for a moment I can feel weightless, like I could move a thousand ways, float forever. But I land gently on the beach and take just a moment for me, here, before it all starts again. Dia would snort and shake her head at me, Mari would intrude. But the sea just waits.

Promise of Mother’s Love: chapter 4 - “Let it go”
Three years later.
Summer.
Naruto didn't like Mondays. Not because it was a Monday and a beginning of the week. No. He didn't like Mondays, because it was the day of learning fuuinjutsu.
He went to the grandpa a few times a week, always just after Academy lessons. He stays there until Mirai comes and takes him back home. Sometimes, it was a happy moment. Sometimes, he was sad it was over.
Today, it would be of 180' degrees opposite of the latter. Like every Monday.
He sighed today for what seemed the 100th time. He was sitting there, on Monday, in grandpa's house, on pillows, just next to a low table, with Sarutobi-sensei. He called him Sarutobi-sensei only during these lessons, and in a sole purpose of mocking the old man.
He was sitting here working on fuuinjutsu, instead of doing something productive. He didn't consider fuuinjutsu useful. It wasn't. For him, it was just drawing weird stuff on a big roll of paper.
He sighed again.
"Today, Naruto, you are exceedingly active."
They worked together, sitting opposite to each other.
"Yeah... no joke."
Naruto heard a soft laugh.
He sighed again. He was so sleepy.
"You didn't get enough sleep today, Naruto?"
"You know it's not that, Sarutobi-sensei. It's fuuinjutsu. It's so boring."
"Will you stop calling me sensei, please? It sounds strange from you. And this surname..."
"You are my sensei, though. Should I just call you by Hiruzen only?"
Hiruzen winced.
"No, no. That is just too much."
"Yeah... it almost didn't come through my throat."
"Happy we agree on this, Naruto."
"Sure. You're welcome."
Hiruzen sighed mentally. Mentally, because he didn't want to be like Naruto, who had a strange habit of sighing. He must've learned that from the Naras, and there it went, trying to pass itself down on him. He would not let it do that to him. Not in a million years.
He sighed, physically.
"Fuuinjutsu isn't boring," he muttered.
"Something's wrong, Sarutobi-sensei? You ain't so young anymore. Don't forget that."
"You will never let me forget."
"Bingo!" he shouted playfully.
"You play bingo, Naruto?" Hiruzen asked surprised.
"No."
"So how...?"
"Just saw it the other day. You should go there. It's a game for people just like you. Old people. Maybe you'd finally meet a sweet old lady? She'd make you tasty cookies. Everybody knows how much you love 'em. Real tasty cookies. Delicious."
Naruto very much liked to make fun of him. He would make a fine comedian in the future, if he wasn't training for a shinobi.
But the good atmosphere had to end, when Naruto finally showed him his work, full of hopeless hope.
"Again."
The very-soon-to-be a nine-year-old lost his patience though.
"How many times do I must tell you, that I don't make it in fuuinjutsu?" said Naruto, annoyed, folding his arms.
Hiruzen didn't answer at first. He never reacted to anger. He reached for his pipe and began to rub in the tobacco. It wasn't until he almost ended to do so, when he started speaking, noticing Naruto calmed down a little.
"Naruto, list all areas of shinobi practice."
Namikaze looked at him in surprise. It took him a little off guard.
"The ninjutsu, the taijutsu, the genjutsu, the kenjutsu. And last, but not least," he spread his arms, showing work in front of him, "the fuuinjutsu."
"Oh, yeah, how very much he likes to show off," thought Hiruzen, laughing inside. He only nodded his head though.
"Yes. Now list the most famous masters of each of them."
"Hmm?"
It surprised him even more. This talk had made no sense to him, but whateva.
"Start with genjutsu."
"Genjutsu... it's probably Kurenai, Kurenai Yuhi? Hey, hardly anyone masters genjutsu, so it was easy."
"Oh, oh, yes. You're right. Kurenai is a genjutsu master, indeed. Kenjutsu?"
If he named Itachi or Shisui, he would get a little worried.
"It's a little harder. I think either the samurai from the Iron country or the Seven Masters of the Sword, from the Mist."
"Taijutsu?"
"Honestly, I don't know. This Maito Gai... or was it Guy? He is said to be very good, but I don't believe it."
"Oh? Why?"
"He looks so stupid! How does someone like him could be a taijutsu master?"
"You would be surprised, how much differs an outside look from what's on the inside, Naruto. You must know a person better before judging one. Remember that. And for you know, Maito Gai is a powerful taijutsu master. What about ninjutsu?"
Naruto looked at him suspiciously and folded his arms.
"Admit it, this whole talk is only for making me say that you are best at ninjutsu."
Hiruzen laughed at this.
"So don't say it, Naruto. What about fuuinjutsu?"
Naruto looked down.
"My father, the Fourth Hokage."
Hiruzen popped his pipe.
"Yes, Minato is one of the best living people, when it comes to fuinjutsu. But you are wrong."
It surprised Naruto.
"How is that?"
Hiruzen pointed his finger at the painting hanging on the wall.
"Could you take this off and bring it here?"
"Okay..."
He felt that he knew the sign from somewhere, but he didn't know from where. It felt as if having a word at the end of the tongue, but one can't say what word it is.
When he sat down and put the painting on the table, the Third asked:
"What do you think about this, Naruto?"
"I've seen this sign somewhere, but I don't remember where exactly."
Hiruzen nodded approvingly.
"This is the emblem that is placed..."
"...on shinobi jackets! Of course!" finished Naruto, facepalming himself.
Painted was a red vortex circle on a white background.
"Yes. Every shinobi of Konoha, as I told you, should know the basics of every field of ninja arts. Without these basics, you can't be an effective shinobi, Naruto."
"Yes, yes, I know, you don't have to repeat yourself, old man."
"This is not the only reason, Naruto, that I want to teach you fuuinjutsu."
"Really?"
"This symbol you see here is an emblem of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto. You see, in the first year of the Academy, you study the history of Konoha. The First and Second Hokage were from the Senju clan. Members of both these clans, Uzumaki and Senju, were very distant relatives. Their common roots were, ohoho, very ancient times. A thousand of years, at least. Half-legendary. What you don't learn at the Academy though, is that the Uzumaki clan was once Konoha's most faithful and greatest ally. My sensei's wife, the First Hokage, was from the Uzumaki clan. Her name was Uzumaki Mito."
"Uzumaki clan... was? As if, they aren't there anymore?"
Hiruzen nodded sadly, looking away.
"Twenty-four years ago, during the war, Uzushiogakure, home of the Uzumaki, was conquered and destroyed. Every man, woman and even young ones. Every building, there is no stone left on another stone. Few Uzumaki survived. Only a few families, which was because they were far away from home during the invasion. They did not have a home to come back to, so one of those families came here, to Konoha. It was them, who taught your father fuinjutsu. A lone mother with one daughter."
"Maybe...?"
Hiruzen shook his head.
"No, they won't teach you. Unfortunately, the woman who was your father's sensei died shortly after she passed every bit of her knowledge to Minato. Huge loss, I say."
"What about the daughter?"
Hiruzen gave him a long look.
Naruto deserved to know, It wasn't that big of a state secret really, since she died and who knows where Kyuubi is now. And she was Naruto's mother. He could not tell him though, that they suspected suicide... he was too young for that.
"She died not long after her mother."
Naruto nodded.
"It was during a mission to find other of her clansmen." Hiruzen added.
And Naruto felt it was a lie.
_
Kakashi stood with flowers in his hand in front of Memorial Stone.
The fact, that he was here, wouldn't surprise anyone. People knew, where to look for him, when he was, almost always, running late.
People used to be full of respect for his mourning. As years slowly passed, it didn't raise such feelings no more. Only politeness, which he found mocking. He preferred when people felt anger and irritation over his stupid mannerisms.
Sometimes though, they who knew, just looked at him with pity in their gaze.
He thought, they didn't remember another Kakashi, who wasn't standing in front of Memorial Stone for hours no end. Who was arrogant and laughed at them for their inability to stand against him; and who was, at the same time, strangely likeable more often than not, although he himself didn't know why that seemed to be the case.
Strangers were overwhelmed by his fame. Ninja, who knew a thousand jutsus, right?
No more than a two hundred.
Chidori no Kakashi, they named him. Kakashi of a thousand screeching birds.
Ain't helping with making new friends, is it?
Didn't help him with the ones he already lost.
His friends no longer remembered the Old Kakashi. As far as there has ever been someone like that, for he wasn't so sure anymore.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into years. His whole past... from before... was just an abstraction, incomprehensible and foreign.
These years today turned into a decade. What he had become?
"Let's go," said Minato Namikaze. Kakashi felt like a beaten dog, when he followed him.
Obito and Rin were buried side by side on Hokage's orders. The Uchiha clan and Rin's parents tried to protest, but his sensei was adamant.
At least in this way they will finally be together.
This, however, did not comfort anyone. Silver-haired only saw the irony that was spitting on his face. Obito's body wasn't even here. Only Rin's.
"Why, Rin, why? Did you really want to meet him so badly? Didn't you know what promise I gave to him?"
He could say no more, before he fell to his knees in front of the grave and cried.
_
Hours later. Same place.
A figure in a black coat appeared out of nowhere.
Obito took off his mask. He wanted Rin to recognize him.
If only he could, he would save her from them. From Kakashi. If only he could make it back in time.
Obito looked at the grave that was marked with his name.
He felt no feeling, except one and only one, which was the only thing that gave him his strength.
Love he still felt for her. Always. Since the time, he first laid his eyes on her.
He stood there for a while, not speaking.
If only he could make it.
"It's time," said black Zetsu, who was without white half.
_
Fugaku didn't look up, when the door to his office opened.
"Sasuke, it's late. Why aren't you in bed?"
He didn't ask for anyone. And no one ever comes at this hour. It must be his second son again. He thought he was too big for that, but apparently he was wrong.
There was no answer.
He waited for a few seconds, still a pen in hand, writing.
Only then did he look up.
And he frantically stood up, knocking over the chair. He immediately took a stance, ready to fight.
"Who are you?! What is this intrusion?!"
In front of him stood a tall figure in a dark coat, just as tall, reaching the floor. It had also very long sleeves.
A mask with flaming patterns was visible from under a wide hood. It only had one hole, for the left eye.
"Who are you?! Speak, damn you!"
"You really don't know who I am?" the man asked in a puzzled tone.
"Is that some kind of a stupid joke?! Why would I know that?!"
Madara expected Fugaku to recognize the mask. It seems that the Fourth has concealed at least some of what happened nine years ago.
"You should know. After all, we're both Uchiha."
"Who the hell are you?! If you are actually an Uchiha, you should know that such intrusion is considered an assault on the clan's head. The penalty is death."
"I know. I created that law, mind you."
What?
"What?"
The man in the mask sat down in front of the desk. His every move was observed by Fugaku.
"Sit."
That voice... there was something about it, that made him feel a twinge of fear.
Even if he was an Uchiha, he was something utterly different.
He took his chair and placed it on its place.
He sat.
"Now, we can talk. And, you heard me. I created that law. My name is Uchiha Madara."
Laughter, terror, surprise. Calm. Madara was impressed by how quickly Fugaku managed to calm his mind down, though his face showed suspense.
"Whether or not you believe me, it does not matter. I haven't come to take my place from you."
Fugaku didn't like this tone.
"I thought the First Hokage killed my predecessor in Valley of the End."
Madara pointed to a place, where there would probably be a second hole for a right eye.
"Izanagi."
Fugaku nodded. He wasn't very surprised. It was a kinjutsu, but Madara must've known it. The elders suspected this, but kept it a secret from everyone outside.
It could be considered an act of treason. At this point, the irony of that statement was laughable.
"Why are you hiding your face from me?"
However, the fact that these suspicions turned out to be, at least maybe, true, disturbed him nonetheless.
"Only a few people are still alive, who keep the knowledge of what I looked like in their memories. It will be finally forgotten, when they die."
Fugaku raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.
"Why are you disturbing the peace of this village, Madara?"
Fugaku sensed his eyes on him. He looked into the hole in the mask and watched it closely.
Sharingan.
"Is that what you call peace? What you name peace, I call calm before the storm. Let's talk why I am here."
_
Autumn.
No one said a word about Fourth Hokage, even though they were at his son's ninth birthday.
Naruto was sitting on the windowsill and watching Konoha's night panorama.
He couldn't sleep.
His father hasn't come. Again.
Today were his 9th birthday. Everyone who did come, long ago went to their homes and laid asleep in their beds.
He couldn't take his eyes off of this city' landscape.
Konoha was sleeping. Yellow light from the lamps, who were only light sources except the moon, created a melancholic vibe.
A clock on the wall in his room showed one o'clock at night, but he wasn't weary. What he felt, did not feel like that.
He sure was often tired. Academy courses, Third's lessons. He felt a slight consolation in that from today, he was a genin. Officially.
He dreamed about it, he truly did, but now it felt bland. Like it was just another day, that one becomes genin. That was a peak moment in his life and yet, now, when he was alone, and it was late at night, he couldn't feel the happiness he certainly did feel, when he got the news.
For his father, even though he gave him a promotion, did not come to celebrate his birthday. That was so much different from years before.
The wind blew strongly. Sound of rustling leaves filled the empty space between his heart and body.
Somewhere in the distance dog barked.
Naruto jumped off the sill on the floor and opened the window as wide as it was possible.
He liked the cold. When the wind blew on his face, he felt just free.
Freedom. And ease.
Oh, how much he loved that feeling.
He stood by the bed and widely spread his arms, welcoming it and begging it, in his mind, to stay. It never did.
He smiled, when he felt chills all over his body. It was freezing cold, but for these couple of seconds, he always forgets about everything.
He wanted to be like the wind, uncontrollable and playful, free and not bound by anything.
He felt cold tears running down his cheeks.
When he opened them, his eyes went to the picture of a smiling Fourth Hokage, that was framed on his bedside.
He grabbed it and threw it out the window as hardly as he possibly could, screaming loudly until it hit the ground below.
He closed the window with a bang and threw himself on the bed, sobbing.
Naruto left the building, and then without even looking up, headed for the academy gate. He knew where to go.
On Thursdays, he always comes home by himself, alone.
Like every winter, he was happy to be outdoors. The snow creaked pleasantly under his boots. He was dressed in a warm orange jacket and blue, thick pants. Cold pinched his cheeks playfully, and he was smiling widely because of this.
He passed by snowball battle which was always there near academy, during the winter. Kids were laughing loudly.
He ain't a girl, so he is safe with just passing by. Nobody will attack him just like that, for they knew his revenge was always sweeter than most people's.
Some minutes later, he found himself at the crossroads. He glanced sideways. It's been a long time since he was in the Academy Park.
He sat on the bench and pulled out a map of Konoha.
He began to study it.
"A shinobi must know his village as well as the back of his own hand," he heard Third's voice.
To visit, there was left only one place. He has never been there, he thought surprised.
Well, he can do it today. He stood up and took the walk to the place. He put the map to his backpack - he didn't need it anymore.
He wasn't afraid. Right?
As he passed through the main gate of the cemetery, a wide square appeared to his eyes.
A tall board with a map painted on it, stood next to one of the benches.
He looked at it. The whole cemetery, square, divided into nine, numbered from 1 to 8 and a star.
He noticed it. On the map. The golden star. Grandfather's two sensei. The First and The Second.
He felt joy. Euphoria, even.
He never felt anything like that.
He didn't notice the moment, when he started running. People were turning around, surprised. Naruto was slipping between them without stopping for a moment. In his blue eyes they could see only happiness.
These people were blind. Are. Will be.
The Eyes were wild. They were mad. Every time they turned, they turned again, never focusing on anything longer than a quarter of a second.
What people ever saw, were his blue pupils. People always see what they want to see. If someone ever noticed him, he was always the esteemed son of Minato Namikaze.
Naruto was watching himself from above.
But these eyes, they were the Eyes, even though now like of a madman.
When the son of Minato passed the inner gate, son of Minato immediately noticed a large rock with a strange, angular shape. Behind it was a half-round high wall with thousands of inscriptions. They were dead names.
Lamps lit everything brightly.
Naruto awakened in his own body, out of euphoric amok.
He felt, he had to look behind himself. He was tempted to do it.
"No."
But he was doing it already.
"No! No, no, no! NO!" he shouted.
But the temptation was too strong. He gave up.
And suddenly, when he saw, what he must've seen before, the world around him stopped.
Every single man, woman or child disappeared. What was left, was only a strange smell.
Foul odor of the Death.
He had no right to know, but he knew anyway. The stench of the battlefield and hundreds of rotting bodies.
White tombstones to the horizon. There were hundreds of them. Thousands. Hundreds of thousands. They filled his field of view. They covered the sky and the sun, and every star. Day, night, day, night, were passing by minutes. Arranged in rows, even, and clean. His field of view widened.
He still was watching himself and being himself from above at the same time.
Naruto heard his laughter. He sounded evil.
Then, suddenly, despair of hundreds came upon him. Despair, hate, longing, sadness.
Why didn't he notice them before as he was running on this straight path? He fell to his knees.
He was so cold.
Hate.
Hate.
Hate.
Increasingly, everything was in the end obscured by hatred.
He felt, as if he was drowning. On his whole body, he felt the Hatred. It wanted to tear him apart.
He raised his hand to look at it, but when he tried to do so, his forehead burned him with great pain.
"The end," he heard himself say. He did not know why he did that.
And then pain disappeared.
He fell to the ground with his whole body. He tried to get up on all fours. He managed to do it, even though he had no strength. The only strength he still had, was of his will.
He raised his head. Suffering, despair, hatred, sadness of thousands of people who visited this place. Every. Single. Day.
He watched them. Days were like seconds, stages of the moon passed by, and full moons were like minutes to him. He did not see people, only blurs of their bodies and their feelings.
A strange feeling of... fullness overlap him. He felt, as if millions of souls were crushed inside of his chest and between his hands, between his fingers.
He tried to breathe. He could not catch it.
He was terrified. He wanted to scream, but couldn't catch a foreign air. He felt a stinging pain in the left chest. It was his heart.
Something appeared above him. It was watching him.
It seemed to him, that it was Death herself, who was looking straight at his small posture. He felt so small in her presence. He raised his eyes.
It was a giant figure of a strange looking head. At its base, fiery purple flames were burning, and her eyes were like nothing out of this world. Royal purple, cut with black circles centering. They were looking at him.
And he was watching himself.
People were passing him all the time, paying no attention to anything. They were blurs, months passed like seconds.
Nobody looked at him. Nobody cared about him. Only thing they ever saw him as, was a son of Hokage. The Hokage they knew better than his own son knew him. This son stood in front of him smiling now.
Suddenly, Death stuck out a snake tongue from her nightmare giant lips, which entwined the neck of a son of the Hokage, who stood in front of him. Disgusting tongue raised the boy, holding him by his throat.
Huge head opened its mouth and devoured a son of the Hokage.
Naruto shook with coldness, that suddenly enveloped his entire body.
The cry of the devoured boy dripped with anguish and horrible pain. Behind him he heard a snarl of an animal. He didn't understand, but felt this animal was full of anger and hatred. He could hear it clearly, even though he knew that there was nobody around him.
Then, he realized that he was the one screaming. He found himself in the mouth of this monster in a form of a large head with purple flames surrounding its base.
Suddenly nine black flames appeared in front of him, which hung in the air opposite of him, orbiting slowly in a two-dimensional space.
He looked around.
He was on a meadow.
He felt nothing.
He looked at the black flames.
Six of the nine flames moved: three forming an external triangle between them, three forming an internal one.
Then, every of the nine started spinning, faster and faster, until they blurred into three thin lines, creating three black circles: internal, central and external.
Then, color purple enveloped the inside of this strange creation.
"Let it go", he heard a woman's voice.
He felt a blissful calm.
He slept through the rest of the night with no dreams.
_
Naruto opened his eyes. It was still a night. He stared at the ceiling of his room.
"They lie," someone near said.
Boy did not respond.
"They lie."
"Who lies?"
The Voice laughed.
"You don't know...? Ah... apparently you do know. Konoha lies. Your grandfather. Aunt. Uncle. Everyone lies. To you."
A pause.
"And you realize that. You feel anguish. I know this. You know this. You can feel my hate, don't you?"
A pause.
The Voiced laughed again.
"One thing only makes us distinct. You lie to yourself, just like everybody lies to you. You don't know any different. But I do."
"Who are you?"
"I have many names, but I am now your conscience."
"What do you want?"
"I want nothing that you can give me. Let's not talk about what I want. Let's just say... you have a part of me. Not that you knew it before. In the end, they always hide you in your cell."
Naruto didn't respond.
"I know you, Naruto. In the same way that you know they lie. I think you understand, what that means... or you don't and I am wrong about you?"
Naruto closed his eyes. A single tear ran down his cheek. The Voice laughed yet again, mockingly this time.
"Yes, boy. This is your first answer. You have this gift from me. In the future, you will know more about it and about yourself. And now... one more thing... you will inform no one about me or I'll kill you just as easy, as if by a snap of my fingers."
Even if the Voice did not blackmail him, the boy wouldn't inform anyone; and they both knew it, which Naruto was sure of.
The Voice wanted to tell him and Naruto knew what the Voice said in his last sentence, was true.
They are now in this together, are they?
The cemetery was exactly like in his dream, even though only in his dream he had seen it before coming here in person.
He didn't hurry. He had time.
The board. The map. The numbers. The golden star. Everything was the same.
He finally reached the centre.
The only difference was in the silver-haired tall shinobi.
"Who is buried here?" he asked famed ninja.
The man looked at him. One of his eyes was covered under Konoha band.
Kakashi wondered who was observing him for so long. Now, he knew. He looked back at Memorial Stone.
"No one." shinobi responded blankly.
Naruto did not know why, but he felt shivers going on his spine.
"So why are you here, Kakashi Hatake?"
Ninja snorted.
From a child's perspective, everything has always been so simple. Naruto was visibly confused that he laughed.
"I'm sorry, Naruto Namikaze."
The boy nodded. He did not show a surprise, when famed shinobi knew his name. Kakashi thought that was to be expected from Hokage's son.
"I am here for those, who were and for those, who couldn't be buried here."
"You need not to sense other's negative feelings to talk to people, you know?" Naruto smiled warmly. "Time has come for your sadness to go. I say to you: let it go."
After that meeting Kakashi finally started to let it go.
After a few years, he repeated the phrase, when he finally did... let it go.

Shamrock: "Hey..." *pats her shoulder* "It's going to be okay."

izumi:...right.
Spirit: "Then this training camp will help with that--a meister needs to be able to land a punch. Hell, I had to knock Stein down now and then at your age when he...went a little overboard. Huh. Thank goodness he isn't on this training camp... ...He's not, right?"

takeru:....
Hajiki: "Come on--I know you're a good dude who wouldn't want to see others get hurt. What about that mission you had back home--you fought big-ass fire dogs!"

shinra: care to explain WHY you were in my room?!
Viktor: "Oh, right! I had some questions about your Third Generation lately."
shinra: couldnt you have waited until i woke up?
Viktor: "It was relevant to my research that it be your initial experiences upon first awakening. I'm thinking of turning it into an article. I already checked on how the other’s fire abilities first function upon waking. Arthur's Excalibur is a bit more powerful first thing in the morning, Tamaki still forms cat whiskers in her sleep, and Lisa--"
Vulcan: "Hold up. You've been going into our rooms while we sleep?"
Viktor: "Please--I go into everyone's room while they sleep!"
karin: ^^# you havent been in nozomi's room. HAVE YOU?
nozomi: O///////////////O;;;;;;;
Viktor: "No, but it was next on my to-do list--"
karin: NO. NOT ON MY WATCH. NOT GONNA HAPPEN NOPE!!
Viktor: "??? Did I do something wrong?"

Petra: *stare* "...What are you doing?"
Viktor: "Apologizing to Shinra with a little field trip..."
shinra:....im fairly concerned about this.
Viktor: "Relax--it'll be fun! We're going to see the latest in Haijima technology..."
shinra: wait, haijima?
Viktor: "Yep! They're doing some new training with their latest patients!" *pulls him to the door--* "Come on! We'll be late!"
shinra: wait-
Vulcan: "You think we're letting you scurry off to Haijima after this crap?! You already know what I think after what they did freezing out my family from resources!"
maki: not to mention what they did to shinra when he was little!
Viktor: "...Well, that's kind of why I need him there."
nozomi: ??!!
Viktor: "You see, Haijima is doing experiments on the children in an attempt to awaken their latent potential...and with all the Adora Burst knowledge we've been gaining . as more and more of them pop up, Haijima wants to see if they can induce a similar awakening in various children, including those that dead guy from the 1st infected."
tamaki: *her eyes widen in horror as her face goes pale*
nozomi: !!!!!
iris: how awful....
lisa: *aims a flame tentacle at viktor* how could you know this?
Viktor: "...I guess I need to come clean. I, Viktor Licht, am a Haijima spy, sent here to infiltrate Company 8."
karin: *PUNCH* you unholy son of a BITCH! I KNEW YOU WERE FISHY!
nozomi: viktor....why?
maki: wait, i thought haijima sent him to the 8th as a researcher?? but maybe he did report back to them so...
Viktor: *collapsed on the floor* "Ow...I'm going to look like I went into boxing with all the punches today..." *sigh* "Well, like I said, Haijima wants to know more about the Burst, and..." *looks at Shinra* "...him."
shinra:.........
Viktor: "They had tested Shinra when he was a kid, trying to get him to show off some super-power abilities. And after they let him go, he gets the Adora Burst. They let him fall through their fingers---and they don't want to repeat that mistake with the kids they got now. If even one of those children shows the Burst, think of all the knowledge they could gain about how it works?"
shinra:....i feel sick...
Akitaru: *shakes his head* "No way--this is not the way to go about this. We're not letting Shinra go in there..."
Viktor: "And if you don't, then Haijima will take more drastic measures..." *looks out the window* "Case in point...My ride's here."
shinra:....alright....i'll go.
Akitaru: "I said no! At least, not alone..."
iris: shinra...
shinra: if i can atone for those kids, then i'll do it.
nozomi: besides, we can use this as a chance to investigate haijima.
Akitaru: *glares at Viktor* "You pull anything--"
Viktor: *holds up his hands* "Hey, if I screw up, Haijima's going to kill me--I don't have many options here!"
shinra: and the sooner we get info, the sooner we can stop the preacher's plans and save sho.
Akitaru: "Okay. Then that means we need everyone on board for this--we're going to need to pull out all the stops. Everyone, suit up."
karin: one thing first; whose side are you really on, viktor?

shinra:......requesting a ten minute bathroom break please?
Kurono: "...Weak bladder. Good start."
shinra: are you making fun of me?
Kurono: *he's not smiling as he unwraps bandages* "I remember you...That child with the metal stumps...So small...When I was scrawny back then, I wanted...to crush you under my feet. Why didn't you let me?"
shinra: (*INTERNALLY SCREAMING*)
Kurono: "You're taller now, so it'll be more difficult for me to step all over you..." *leans over Shinra* "Yet you are still weak. I like that."

Kurono: *his eyes are snakelike, staring at Shinra* "Weakling. This is the Adora Burst? Pathetic."
shinra: you havent seen anything yet! RAPID!
Kurono: "..." *swings his arm in a circle before--*
*Shinra's foot approaches his face...and with a SLAP, Kurono flips Shinra over*
shinra: ?!??! (OK IM CALLING BULLSHIT!)
Viktor: "That's a first--someone managed to undermine Shinra's Rapid?"

Harris: *frowns* "Disappointing so far...Your specimen is rather weak."
Viktor: "He...just is planning his next move?" ^^;
shinra: *KICKS*
Kurono: *coughs loudly, knocked back* ("...How did he do that? He was yards away a moment ago...")
Harris: "?!!"
Viktor: "Aaaaaaaaaaand there's the Rapid attack."
shinra: *jumps up to land a drop kick*
Kurono: *knocked to his knees...* "...I don't like strong people..." *fades into the smoke...which starts to expand in the room*
shinra: *battle stance, looking around*
*the smoke is already around Shinra--when something slashes his chest*
shinra: *yells out in pain*
Harris: "Damn it--I can't see a thing..." *calls into the microphone* "Kurono, your smoke is effecting our cameras--pull it back."

shinra: *shuddering* (tatsu...)

Harris: X_X
Viktor: *rubs his fist* "Owie!" >~< "I still don't know how to throw a punch..."

maki: WOAH!
puppet girl: now that's what i call digital! hehe~
Vulcan: "BOO!"
puppet girl: what's wrong, not getting, the point?
Vulcan: "Maki, she has to be the one controlling that thing. Aim the Owls at her legs."
maki: got it!
Dominion: *points one finger at Maki--and fires*
maki: WOAH SHIT! *dodge*
Dominion: *twirls on one foot, then makes a dramatic pose*
maki: IS HE SERIOUSLY MAKING A SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER REFERENCE?!
puppet girl: it's his job to bring smiles to the kiddo's faces~
Vulcan: "I don't know--but I want to smash it to bits and re-build it as an artistic installation in a museum--then blow up the museum with her in it to make sure they both die forever."
puppet girl: wow, so mean! what are the names of your robot friends?
Vulcan: -_-# "They aren't 'friends.' They're robots. And they're the Iron Owls--"
puppet girl: birds, huh? i'd tell dom to give you the bird, but that'd be a bad influence for the children~ hehe~
Vulcan: "... ... ..." *facepalm*
maki: who even are you!?
puppet girl: moi? you want to know my name? well i'd be happy to....NOT tell you~ ^^
Dominion: *sitting on the edge of the rooftop, swinging its feet*
maki: >n<##
Vulcan: *SCREAMS* "GOOD GOD, WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS?!!"

maki:......
Vulcan: "Don't you _dare_ rename my inventions!"
maki:....*squint* they kinda do look like caterpillars if you look at them differently. ah great i cant unsee it, THANKS A LOT!
Vulcan: "Stop making Maki see things, you bastard!"
Dominion: "Ba ba ba~"
puppet girl: you talk too much.
Vulcan: "YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING YOUR MOUTH NON-STOP! Forget this! We have our friends to save! Come on, Maki--let's blow up Haijima and get Shinra out of here."
puppet girl: oh no you dont~ dom-dom, giga punch!
Dominion: "GIGA!" *leaps down, slamming its fist into the ground in front of Vulcan and Maki*
maki: WOAH!
Vulcan: *knocked back*
puppet girl: good boy, dommy!
Dominion: ^^
Vulcan: "Stop treating your robot like some pet!"
Dominion: *sitting in Puppet Girl's lap* "???"
puppet girl: oh? but robots and humans arent too different from each other, you know. especially the kiddos~
Vulcan: "The hell does that mean?"
puppet girl: if we let them have fun, they have fun, but if we let them get into trouble, they get into trouble, and when they do something we dont want them to, we have to correct them. train them. make sure they follow orders, right~?
Vulcan: "Orders? ...You piece of shit, these are kids--you don't order them! You teach them! Raise them! Is this how you treat kids, attack them with that freak puppet?!"
maki: !!!
Dominion: >n<
puppet girl: oh i am kind to them, you attract more flies with honey than vinegar after all~
maki: still, manipulating them for your own benefit, i wont forgive that!
Vulcan: "Maki, we've got enough info to figure out she's likely Third Generation. That's the only way that stupid puppet is stupid powerful. I don't say this lightly, but do you think you can actually stand up against that thing with your powers?"
maki: do you have a plan?
Vulcan: "Yeah. But you're going to have to take the Owls to their maximum power output."
puppet girl: hmm, dommy, are you ready to unleash your special move~?
Dominion: "DOM!" *salutes*
maki: ready?
Vulcan: *checking his visor* "Ports are opened. Circuits connected...Wavelengths still divergent...Get them into position!"
maki: right!
puppet girl: ready~ aim~....
Vulcan: "100 PERCENT POWER! PREPARE TO LAUNCH!"
maki: FIRE!
puppet girl: BUTT CANNON BLAST!
Vulcan: "...Wait, what--"
Dominion: *POOOOOOOOOOOOT!*

Arthur: *slices Kurono's back*
Kurono: "!!!"
Arthur: "..." *looks at Tatsu, then at Sasori* "..." *reaches for Tatsu*
sasori: sorry, but the kid's coming with me.
Arthur: "You traitors have done enough damage. If you think you're taking this squire, you have another thing coming."
sasori: i dont even want the kid, just following orders.
Arthur: "Then you serve an awful monarch..."
sasori:....i have my reasons.
Arthur: "So do I--honor!" *grabs Tatsu and runs*
sasori: *chases*

Takehisa: "...Take my gun."
Akitaru: "Stop. You know how I feel about those things..."
iris: commander?
*there are dead Hoods and Guards around the corner...*
Akitaru: "Yes?"
iris: what do we do now?
Akitaru: "...We hold the line and protect our squad."

ritsu: fufufufu~
Akitaru: "...Okay, child, you need to back down, now. We have injured, and you all don't look to be in good shape either, if your stitched up friend back there is anything to go off of..."
Inka: "Relax, this won't take long. Since two of your members are near dead, I just want to finish the job for Ritsu to have some more fodder..."

Zombie 1: *moans*
iris: !!!!! come on! we need to go!
Inka: *blocking the alley exit* "I don't think so--not with your two invalids here."
Relan: *crying* "Just leave me...Get out of here, Iris, everyone!"
Inka: *smirks, twirls her finger...*

Akitaru: "Good timing, Hibana!"
Kishiri: *descends on a bubble he blew, lands, chews...and spits a bubble-gum explosion at some zombies* "This ain't so tough..."
Hibana: "Obi, you are on my turf--and you are destroying Haijima Company property!"
Akitaru: "...Seriously?! That's your complaint?!"
Hibana: >_>; "It's not like I was worried about anyone here or anything..."
kahono: well, we can use all the help we can get.
Tokuyama: *calling on walkie talkie* "Looks like the EMP wave is not a constant--but I can't get in contact with Haijima security...Why the hell didn't they call police in..."
Akitaru: "Hibana, get your angels to escort Takehisa and Relan with the Doctor." *picks up the axe* "We're going after the child."
Hibana: "?!! Don't order me around! I said this is my turf!"
kahono:...is he an ex of yours, princess?
Hibana: *lands next to Kahono* "No. I actually have taste."
Akitaru: -_-#
kahono: well, i havent seen you in a while, so i dont know what's all new with you. ^^;
Hibana: "I got married, and we're raising the most perfect child in the world. You?"
kahono: same old, same old.
Hibana: "I see...Is that why a child is now kidnapped here?"
kahono: i've been trying to fix things as best as i can.
Kishiri: "Don't make me look bad out there, angels--my girlfriend's dad runs one of these branches..."
Hibana: "I have no room to judge--but after this? Haijima isn't going to be able to cover this up."
kahono: well, now isnt the time to chat, we've got work to do.
Hibana: "Right. Angels squad 1, 4, and 5--escort the injured and the Doctor. Angels 2 and 3, you're with me. If they're in a white hood, wreck them."

Kurono: *slashes at both Charon and Shinra*
shinra: DUDE! NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR-
Kurono: *slams Shinra against the wall, holding him by his neck* "I need you."
shinra:......phrasing?
Kurono: "Stop resisting--we don't have time for that. We need to fight Nataku Son and bring him back, alive, no matter how many weaklings we have to stamp out in our path."
Charon: "The hell are you talking about? We got the child trapped in that Giant Infernal--"
tatsu: EVERYONE ABANDONED ME! MY FRIENDS, MY MOMMY! ALL BECAUSE OF THESE POWERS! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW MUCH I HATE THIS!!
*something has changed in the Giant Infernal...*
Giant Infernal: "MOMMY!"
Charon: "...Oh, that's not goo--"

*The building collapses onto Charon*
shinra: OH FUCK!!
Kurono: "...I see. Nataku has willed the Giant to follow its psychic and emotional desires...This sucks. I don't like fighting strong things. Nataku! Stop being strong!"

shinra: !!! oh fuck!!
Kurono: "Ugh..." *holds his head* "What's so wrong with being alone..."
shinra: HANG ON TATSU! WE'LL GET YOU OUT OF THERE!
Kurono: "Wait...Nataku never acted like this before. He was meek, quiet, and let you beat him up...Something is different here..."
*the hairs on Shinra's arm are up, like from static cling...*
shinra: he's hurting. and all that pent up pain is getting released....
Kurono: "Then just deal with it. Having a temper tantrum like a child isn't helping."
shinra: he _is_ a kid, and it's our responsibility as adults to help them grow!
*someone is watching from a rooftop...electricity is around her hand as she directs the Giant Infernal and plays with Tatsu's mind...*
tatsu: UAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Kurono: " 'Adult'? Look at you, you welp. You're barely able to hold it together in this fight--and you think you can survive this? Some adult. How many people died on your watch because you still are so weak?!"
shinra: i know i've made mistakes, but we have to learn from those mistakes to make things better!
Kurono: *grabs Shinra by his shirt* "The only way to avoid mistakes is to not get into a situation where you can make one! Fighting those stronger than you only sets you up for failure! Pick your opponents--know what you are capable of--and don't go beyond those parameters...then you'll never make another mistake, never fail..."
*the orbs glow...*
shinra: ...things arent always that simple. if you dont challenge yourself, then how will you ever get better?!
Kurono: "I CAN'T!"
Haumea: *her clothes stained with blood...giggles, before she gives Tatsu's brain the last push...*

Akitaru: "Vulcan? What is going on?"

Vulcan: -_-# *grabs Arthur's ankle* *muffled* "You...asshole..."
tamaki:...this is all my fault. i-if i hadnt listened to rekka, this wouldnt be happening....
Arthur: "Stop that. We got to get out of here first..."
tamaki:.....

Charon: *blocking the attack*
shinra:....WHAT?!
Charon: "You're a Pillar, right? My job is to protect Pillars. And we still need you alive..."
shinra: i never _asked_ for this! why are you even with these assholes?!
Charon: "Because someone had to keep brats in line. Inka was always...eccentric. And Haumea as a child was a handful..."
shinra: .....
Charon: "Even your opponents have their reasons to be concerned for others..."
shinra:.....alright. but one condition; after this, you leave tatsu alone.
Charon: "...You know after this we still need him..."
shinra: and i intend to stop you. but for now, we need to stop this thing.
Charon: "...You got a deal, Kusakabe." *discards his shirt* "Here's the plan: Haumea has played around with that kid's mind. I can't convince her to stop--she's too stubborn. That means our only option is to stop the Giant. Ritsu put multiple humans into that thing, so we have multiple cores to destroy. The three of us should be able to--" *looks around* "...Wait, did the shadow guy die?"
shinra: eh?....oh where the fuck did he go?!
*there's a teddy bear nearby with a note attached: "I quit. Signed, Kurono"*

Giant: *smashes next to Charon and Shinra*
shinra: !!! ok, new plan...
-elsewhere-
tamaki: are you sure this will work, vulcan?
Vulcan: "Sure it will! After the previous tussles with that plasma woman, we fitted the Matchbox with an EMP. But to get one powerful enough to disrupt her attack, we needed Excalibur."
Arthur: "...This isn't going to work. The legend is to pull the sword _out_ of the stone, not put it back in. What fool would _return_ the Holy Sword to its resting place?"
tamaki: ...... *excalibur face*
Vulcan: "Yes, but _how_ did the sword get into the stone in the first place?!"
tamaki: arthur, please.....do this in my honor?
Arthur: "...Touche! Okay, I'm ready...'Thenne he drewe his swerd Excalibur, but it was so breyght in his enemyes eyen that it gaf light lyke thirty torchys!'" *slams Excalibur into the Matchbox*

lord death: from what i do know, we might be seeing more clown activity. speaking of eibon, how is he recovering?
Yumi: "He's conscious but more lethargic."
lord death: i see. and chrona?
Yumi: "...That situation is more difficult...Ragnarok is exerting greater control, and our sedatives are only affecting Crona, not Ragnarok due to his status as blood..."
lord death: hmm...how is miss tomoe handling the situation?
Yumi: "With her usual aplomb. But the stress is getting to her--we need someone else to manage this situation so she can rest."
lord death: i see. worst case scenario, we may have to do a full transfusion...
Yumi: "What will that do to Ragnarok? Without a host, can he survive?"
lord death: perhaps if there were a back-up body...one without a soul...
Yumi: "Have you done that before?"
lord death: not personally, but i do know someone who can supply us with one...
