Today on P5T, our wet-blanket adult companion continues to be kind of soggy. Also cake, a grand time in the Velvet Room, and my complete inability to pronounce one of our new skills!
……sir, stop doing that pose. That’s not your pose.
Tumblr media
Anyway, apparently it’s fine to namedrop Shido and Yaldabaoth in the notes, but the Thieves are still not allowed to talk about them in actual dialogue. Fingers still crossed we get a Maruki note. Come on, Atlus, you cowards.
Tumblr media
The Velvet Room’s forge is finally up and running, so it’s time to fuse some personas. It’s… a little strange, because now each persona has an inherent skill, and then can inherit ONE and ONLY ONE skill from its component personas. Which… kind of sucks, because there’s a lot of good skills. We’re using the sub-persona system from PQ2, but Erina’s not allowed to have one because she doesn’t have a core persona. Lavenza is basically like “something is suppressing the power of the Wild Card, but now everyone can use sub-personas.”
She’s having a grand time working the forge, though. We should let Lavenza have even more heavy equipment and machinery.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She also gives you a smartphone app that allows you to reach the Velvet Room from the battlefield, because sometimes there are multiple battles in a row before you can go back to the hideout. Which, hell yeah, but also, Atlus stealing Jade’s blue phones. Add another thing to the list. XD
(I’m joking, of course, but still. The list of things Atlus has “stolen” is like 15 things long by now. XDDD)
Tumblr media
Cute icon, though. (It's so weird to see Lavenza the same height as Akira?)
So far the main difference between Zenkichi and Toshiro (other than the fact that one is primarily called by his first name) is that Toshiro flagrantly does not want to be here. They’re both kind of concerned about the Thieves –
Tumblr media
– but Toshiro’s concern absolutely comes from a place of not wanting this, or like, any situations to be happening. He’s constantly wanting to rethink any of the plans that involve danger, he can’t fight, he’s always prepared to run away, and he’s just basically kind of… indecisive? Ryuji admits at least once that he has a good point about not charging in there, but he wants people to listen to him when he’s not really being helpful in the current situation.
He’s willing to listen to orders when it involves leaving, though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(So does that mean Erina's the Thieves' age? I can’t tell how old anyone is. Toshiro is described as a young politician, so like… early thirties?)
Tumblr media
...that works.
So we’ve retrieved Ryuji and Haru after a clash at the armory, which just leaves Makoto and Yusuke under Marie’s control. The scouts bring work that she’s finally making final preparations for her wedding, because she’s found the groom at last!
Tumblr media
Place your bets: Is this Yusuke, Akira, or Toshiro? The Thieves think it’s Yusuke, and set off for the town square to rescue both him and Makoto from the terrible fate of marrying this crazy lady. They’re baking a massive cake in the square, and have put the captured rebels in it? This lady is kind of actually the worst, what the fuck.
Tumblr media
It’s a trap, of course. Brainwashed Makoto and Yusuke show up, and announce with disgust that Lady Marie doesn’t want a penniless brat like Yusuke, she wants Toshiro! ...thank goodness. Because if she wanted Joker, I’d have even more questions about her mental state. We go bravely into battle to save our friends by capturing the flag, but after a long fight, when Erina charges to plant our banner in place of the destroyed one, she gets shot! There’s blood! And Toshiro definitely knows her at least subconsciously through his amnesia, because THIS is the thing that gets him to stop being a wet blanket, and sprint through a hail of gunfire to get to Erina.
Genuinely thought for a second he was going to get a persona right here. But no, he just makes sure Erina’s stable, snatches up the flag, and charges in to claim the victory.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite freeing all the Thieves, the battle has taken a lot out of everyone, and Marie shows up in person with a goddamn army. It’s a bleak situation, and Joker can offer to distract her so everyone can escape, but for once, he doesn’t have to. The other rebels charge so that the Thieves can get Toshiro and Erina to safety, and we all flee back to Leblanc to figure out what to do next.
That’s where I stopped for the evening, with everyone trying to recover from getting beaten half to hell. I’m assuming that now that we have a full company of Thieves, we’re going after Marie directly, so we’ll see how that goes! The battles seemed easy at first, but they’ve been getting more challenging, so I’m curious how a Major Boss Fight will go.
I got a fusion accident in the Velvet Room, and the forge blows up. It’s hilarious even if it means Lavenza got blasted. XD
Tumblr media
Morgana has a tearful sprite when you have to leave the rebels behind, continuing the trend of great Morgana faces.
Tumblr media
And, finally, one of the skills on Haru's skill tree is a combination of healing and ailment cure. Which makes sense, for the first-level spell, but the second one…
Tumblr media
I don’t know what it is, but for some reason I have so much trouble saying that second one. I get it on a theoretical level, but actually saying it out loud is not working. XDDDDDDD I guess they combined these because they didn’t want more branches on the skill tree, but… ugh.
Diaramrita. Why. :’D

Silence (YR 1) - WRN: anxiety triggers
I wrote a thing for clumsychappy’s work. It’s at 42k right now, but I’m lacking motivation to finish it so I’m just gonna excerpt some of the parts that are decent until I can find the resolve and time to finish it.
I did so much research into this fic that it’s pretty sad that it’s so shit. I wish I was a better writer. These things all sound better in your head than on paper or word documents.
Between accompanying Orihime and bothering Rukia, Ichigo finds his time preoccupied compared to his first week of summer vacation. Ichigo refuses to admit brooding those first few days after Mizuiro and Keigo left, but will honestly admit bored the last few days after aimlessly wandering Tokyo and listlessly staring at his apartment ceiling. Although his promenading in Tokyo wasn't completely wasted since he discovers a bar that he actually doesn't mind too much.
The Black Cat is situated at the end of a cloister of stores and restaurants, almost blending in with the shops surrounding it if Ichigo didn't notice the pulse of music coming from it one night. Inside, the bar's dim, color-alternating lighting sets the atmosphere, exuding class and secrecy. Even from just one look, no touching, Ichigo can tell the bar is made from real mahogany wood, glinting dangerously underneath the low lighting. But for looking so sophisticated, the price is pretty reasonable and it attracts a variety of people with the thrumming music felt from below the establishment, where the later night activities tend to occur.
Yoruichi, the manager, knows Ichigo by name, not because he frequents the place that often but because he literally and accidentally stepped on the black cat his first night there. Yowling, the feline had darted up the hidden stairs behind the bar, notifying Yoruichi of the incident when she caught sight of the cat's tail. He almost got thrown out for that, but after tiring of his apologies she plied him with drinks to shut him up. After that--which Ichigo can't recall for the life of him--she always teases him like they have been good friends for years. 
Ichigo also hasn't seen that black cat no matter how many times he's gone back.
He can't get it out of his mind either since Rukia likes to remind him of his cat murderer status, every time. Yoruichi assures him that it’s doing fine too, "It'll show up when it wants to."
Which is how he finds himself heading out to the Black Cat every night just to prove his point to Rukia, oftentimes dragging her along to bear witness to his innocence. Rukia puts up a fight every time, kicking and digging her heels in, but surrenders once they're around the corner. Ichigo likes to think it's because she gets to pet and feed the other stray cats that hang around the establishment.
"You play with the cats and I'll be inside." Ichigo tells her every time they do this. Rukia simply sticks her tongue out at him, then resumes her deadly rub down on the furry victim of the night.
'Those poor cats.' Ichigo can't help thinking as he slips back through the backdoor of the Black Cat, heading towards the stairs that lead down to the lower floor, dubbed 'Grounds' by the regulars, whom Ichigo has slowly become acquainted with:
There's Matsumoto Rangiku, a third year in Sociology, who's more like a resident than a customer. From what he hears, Yoruichi always finds her in the morning passed out in random places of the Black Cat. There's even a small room built for her in the bar now, for her to properly pass out in. Ichigo suspects the bedding is still brand new.
Hitsugaya Toshiro, a third year in Mathematics. He doesn't speak often and tends to occupy the least crowded space in the Grounds.
Madarame Ikkaku, a second year in Engineering, that likes to butt heads with Ichigo constantly. One time they nearly drank down Yoruichi's entire bar, almost forcing her to close for the night. When they kept going at it though, she billed their open tab plus collateral damage for all their drunken shenanigans to their respective address. Upon receiving it, they both understood it was a threat. Ichigo's tried behaving ever since, but sometimes Ikkaku makes it too easy to be destructive.
Ayasegawa Yumichika, a second year in Oriental History with eccentric tastes and a narcissistic personality. When Ichigo first met Yumichika, the vain male had commented on Ichigo's drool-worthy form and firmness that Ichigo's been unable to erase from his memories. So, he avoids being alone with the upperclassmen. Based on their interactions though, Ichigo assumes Ikkaku and Yumichika have a history together. They bicker like an old married couple.
And then there's Hirako Shinji and his gang of friends that Ikkaku cautions against associating with, but doesn't explain why. Regardless, Ichigo gives them a wide berth. Although, when he catches Hirako talking to a frozen, wide-eyed Rukia in her usual spot of the alleyway, Ichigo throws a punch at the blonde without thinking. Perceptive, Hirako dodges it easily with a mocking laugh and biting words, "Want to try that again, boy?"
Provoked, Ichigo prepares to throw another punch but stops when Rukia's own fist flies past him, landing squarely on the side Hirako’s face. Stunned, Ichigo and Shinji remain fixed in their position, Ichigo with his fist still in mid-air and Hirako on the concrete with his hand accessing the damage. From this angle, Ichigo can't see what is happening, if anything is happening at all, but something must be if Rukia's clenching hands at her sides and Shinji's resigned expression are any indication.
"Did that idiot do something stupid again?" A voice from behind Ichigo asks.
Looking over his shoulders, Ichigo sees the short, pigtail pipsqueak that's always hanging around Hirako. Ichigo remembers Hirako calling out her name on several occasions, Hiyori or Hiyoko*?
"I deserved it this time." Hirako divulges, allowing Hiyori to help him up.
"You deserve it every time." Hiyori corrects with a scowl, poking the bruise that's already starting to form on Hirako’s face.
"Oooowwww oww! Not the face!" Hirako pleads, his screams cut off when the resounding shut of the back door to the Black Cat closes.
Left alone now, Ichigo approaches Rukia, coming around her so she can see him, not wanting to alarm her. They stand like that for what seems like the end of the hour, Ichigo waiting and Rukia agitated. With a deep, long exhale though, Rukia's tension slowly begins to ebb. Only when Rukia finally untucks her chin, meeting Ichigo's eyes, does Ichigo ask, "You alright?"
Rukia closes her eyes briefly, as if thinking of the answer. It's slow to come, but the unconscious subtle bob of her head answers Ichigo's concerns for her and they leave it at that. Ichigo should've known better than to accept that as her answer though.
Especially when the subsequent nights at the Black Cat start changing Ichigo and Rukia's routine.
Rukia no longer plays with the cats in the alleyway instead mingles with the crowds in the Grounds. Although she doesn't mingle so much as stand next to Toshiro or is hauled to the dance floor by a drunk Rangiku, only to be promptly abandoned after the busty woman finds her next prey. Sometimes Ichigo will catch her talking to Shinji or his friends, her lips appearing to move as if she were actually conversating, but Ichigo blames it on the flashing lights or alcohol in his system. There is no way Rukia is actually speaking to someone, let alone someone she just punched by way of introduction.
It takes Urahara, the owner of the bar who appears and disappears randomly, pulling Ichigo aside before he starts realizing something is off.
"Kurosaki-kun! You're practically here every night now, you know?" Urahara emerges from a random sliding door next to the wall Ichigo is leaning on, nearly scaring the younger man.
"What the hell, Urahara!" Ichigo yells, backing away from the enigmatic bar-owner. Ichigo could've sworn that wall he was previously leaning against was as smooth as his last drink.
"I can't but notice that Kuchiki-san is spending more time down here than outside with the cats."
"I guess. Maybe she wanted a change in scenery?" Ichigo scoffs, searching the said woman out in the swarm of bodies and bright lights. Rangiku pulled her into the middle of the floor earlier with promises of showing her the proper moves of the hips.
Ichigo finds it difficult to immerse himself into the sway of the music, company of his friends, and drinking games when he knows Rukia is nearby. So, the past few days have been spent sulking like Toshiro while keeping his eyes trained on Rukia. Eyes that Rukia sense even in the intensity of the Grounds or feel dancing on her skin amid a throng of people. Rukia's berated him about it several times, comparing him to a guard dog to drive her point across.
Still, Ichigo couldn’t shake off the urge to seek her out. In fact, he’s never been able to since the start.
"I don't know Kuchiki-san personally, but I hardly think this is her kind of scene." Urahara frowns at Ichigo's nonchalance.
"I thought so too until a few days ago when she wanted to join me down here." Ichigo defends himself at Urahara's accusative look.
"And you weren't curious about the sudden change of heart?"
"Of course I was!" Ichigo retorts in annoyance at Urahara's persistence about this, "But I didn't think to ask her becau--"
"Because she probably wouldn't have told you." Urahara finishes for him as if he was privy to their relationship from just one glance.
"If you know then why are you asking, shaggy-clogs?"
"I don't know." Urahara smiles mysteriously at Ichigo before becoming the most serious Ichigo has ever seen, "But I do know where she goes two times a night when she's down her in the Ground."
"What?" Ichigo’s eyes widen.
"Don't you ever notice how she disappears around the same time? How pale and sweaty she looks afterwards? The way she smells sometimes, and I'm not talking about the alcohol." Urahara hints and with each observation he lists Ichigo's head starts thinking instead of noticing and feeling.
"Shit." Ichigo curses, having pieced it all together.
"Yoruichi has already secured the ladies room." Urahara imparts to Ichigo who has already taken off.
While pushing his way through the sweaty bodies of the Ground, Ichigo can't help admonishing himself,
'How stupid of you.'
'Why did it take this long for you to realize?'
'When did Urahara notice? Yoruichi?'
And specifically, 'Why didn't she say anything?'
Finally, out of the fog of the Grounds and in the lull of Black Cat's main room, Ichigo's head starts spinning from the sudden expend in energy and shift in his surroundings, but he doesn't take a moment for himself at all, only thinking of Rukia.
"Ichigo! Wait!" Yoruichi attempts to stop the younger man, but Ichigo ignores her pleas, brushing her off as he pushes open the door to the lady's lavatory.
It's eerily quiet and spotless as if there's no one in here, but Ichigo already knows once he steps into the restroom that someone is in here. Ichigo doesn't have to look into every stall to know where Rukia is, his feet already taking him to the one she's hiding in: the one furthest from the entrance.
With shaky hands and trepidation, Ichigo knocks lightly on the unlocked door of the stall. He doesn't want to enter without Rukia's permission, but he's also too anxious to just stand around that he starts speaking without realizing it, "Rukia. Rukia? Are you ok? Talk to me? ...Just say something if you're fine so I know, un?"
Silence.
Ichigo almost feels his heart stop when he hears slight movement from behind the door and then a cry of anguish that steals his breath and thoughts.
"I'm sorry, Rukia. I'm coming in." Ichigo announces before cracking the door wide enough to slide through.
The first thing Ichigo notices in the dark stall is the smell, poignant enough to halt him. Closer to the source now, it smells of putrid acid with a heavy air of self-doubt and self-contempt, with all of it coming from the wretched form draped over the toilet.
"Rukia!" Ichigo calls out, kneeling on the floor to take a better look at his friend. Lifting Rukia's head, Ichigo sweeps her hair back from her face while wiping her face with the hem of his shirt. She looks out of it from what little light filters in from over the stall. Fearing for the worst, Ichigo promptly checks her vitals while supporting her neck. From Rukia’s erratic breathing, her airways aren’t blocked. Feeling her pulse, Ichigo confirms that she’s in no danger, even if her pulse is slower than normal. Her hands are cold, but her face is warm: signs of a panic attack passing. Upon closer inspection too, she's so very pale and perspiring.
Ichigo concedes to call for medical emergency if Rukia doesn’t rouse within a few minutes.
“Rukia.” Ichigo whispers as if he’s afraid of the quiet.
“Rukia.” Ichigo tries again, this time louder.
When that doesn’t seem to work, he tries a more physical approach: shaking her gently, pinching the pads of her fingers, rubbing the warmth back into her body, and unconsciously stroking her pulse points as if that would be enough to shock the life back into her.
After having done everything in his ability and training, Ichigo succumbs to his emotions and as a [last ditch] effort collapses back against the wall of the stall with Rukia. Tucked in between his arms and legs, Ichigo keeps repeating her name, hoping it would rouse her. Only when his lips are almost brushing the pinna of her left ear does Rukia start to stir, mumbling incoherently, except her noises quickly dissolve into broken garbling cries as she tries to claw out from within Ichigo's body caging her in.
Heart seizing, Ichigo struggles to remain the calm one all through the noises escaping Rukia like gurgling glass. He tries to calm her first by reassuring her that she's fine, that there's no danger, that it's just him--Ichigo--but when her movements grow even more frantic, he worries she'll hurt herself if she keeps struggling. So, he does the only thing sure enough to stop her: Ichigo clamps his legs together, tighter, restricting Rukia's thrashing then cups Rukia's face between his hands and leans forward, sealing his lips over hers.
Rukia stills instantly, eyes flying open in surprise as chaotic violets finally meet honey amber.
When they part, eyes still on each other, Rukia's expression morphs in inconsolable anguish. So close to each other, Ichigo sees it all, her fall from grace: in the way the light dies in her eyes, the way her brows crease severely, the way the lines around her eyes sink further into her skin, the way the bottom of her lips glisten, wet from his kiss, and quiver. Tormented, Ichigo tucks her further into his arms while trying to erase her expression from his mind before his heart is crushed against it.
Nestled against chest, with her breath against his neck, Rukia mouths apologies into Ichigo's skin. Ichigo's only reply is to hold her even tighter like the vice around his heart, suffocating him and rendering him broken.

Name: Shinjiro Takahishi Age: 30 Pronouns: He/him Faceclaim: Toshiro Mifune Biography: Enter Shinjiro, a serious and stoic warrior from the mysterious isolated country of Japan.  (More under the cut)
Shinjiro hardly remembers his life prior to being taken in by his master, but unlike most samurai, Shinjiro wasn’t born into nobility and the warrior’s life. In the year 1619, Haruto was born to a pair of rice paddy farmers within a small village along the trading routes near Kyoto, Japan. This village along with many other villages in the area were under the constant threat of bandits and thieves, holding the villagers hostage and demanding entire season’s worth of rice to avoid the threat of being raided and pillaged. As peasants, these farmers had little to no training in battle and could do very little to fight back against these criminals, who were likely remnants of brigades prior to Japan’s unification in 1600. When Shinjiro was only six years old, bandits came to his village demanding for their payments in full, unfortunately the villagers didn’t have enough to sustain themselves and refused payment, choosing to fight back and stand their ground against these criminals. These villagers left to Kyoto to sought out help from the nearby noblemen and their highly trained samurai to help defend their village from the raiders, however having little to nothing to pay these men for their service all they did was laugh in their faces and demanded them to leave at once. Without proper protection or training to fend themselves off from these bandits, the villagers had no chance in defending themselves and were immediately wiped out and their homes were burned to the ground. One of the samurai curious to see just how bad these bandits could possibly be decided to visit this said village. Upon arriving, he was met with only death and destruction, the village nothing more than burnt out husks of buildings and corpses of the deceased. However, amazingly within this wreckage Shinjiro was there alive and unscaved. Wracked with guilt for being unable to help these villagers, this samurai decided to take Shinjiro in and raise him as his own, taking him back to Kyoto with him, raising this child alongside his blood child ‘Haruto’. Shinji and Haruto never got along, Haruto always looked down on him and considered him to be a filthy peasant father picked out of the trash due to pity, their relationship was always strained and it continued onward towards adulthood. Shinjiro since his adoption immediately began training in preparation for adulthood, he was given a formal education, learned how to read and write and he began physical and endurance training. Even during his childhood, he began to be taught the basic principles of the Bushido code of honor. Despite Japan beginning an era of peace and the massive change in society during the beginning of the Tokugawa era, his father was persistent and demanded Shinjiro learn the old ways of the Samurai, that way should he be stuck in a position to help himself others, he would be capable and strong. Rather than be a weak and cowardly show piece for a feudal lord to prance around. In his teen years, he began an apprenticeship with a proper mentor and began to undergo training in the martial arts. He showed massive potential in his abilities and was a very quick learner when it came to his training, he took his studies seriously and inspired to be just as strong and mighty as his father. This put a larger strain on his relationship with Haruto and turned their bitter relationship into an aggressive rivalry. Despite Shinjiro being an adoptive child and not being family through blood, he ended up topping Haru in almost everything. In adulthood, he took his father’s place and served his lord with pride and honor. Now a fully trained and experienced samurai warrior, he abided by the Bushido code and proudly served his feudal lord. At that point his life was comfortable and perfect, he was even intending on asking a childhood friend he knew to marry him. Although fond of his comfortable life, truth he told he was longing for some sort of action where he could prove himself and his martial skills. Unfortunately this comfort only lasted so long, one summer night where he got too comfortable and fell asleep at his guard post, there was a commotion inside his lord’s castle and a loud scream could be heard echoing across the night. Upon the investigation, it was revealed that the noble was murdered in cold blood and that the weapon that killed his feudal lord was Shinjiro’s own specially forged blade that he normally always kept on him. Considering Shinji was the one to be guarding his lord’s quarters that night and the weapon used, it immediately put Shinjiro on the spot and all evidence pointed to him being the one responsible no questions asked. The community was horrified and shocked, the fact that a samurai would do something so atrocious towards their better was unthinkable and abhorrent. Despite Shinjiro’s protests and outcry against this horrible accusation against him and honor, he was still placed on trail and found guilty of the crime he didn’t commit. Filled with great shame for being unable to protect his master, he felt he failed his mission due to his incompetence and he chose to accept these consequences despite the accusations being false. He was removed from his family tree and rather than be sentenced to death (which was deemed too kind of a fate) he was sentenced to permanent exile from his country. Shinjiro was placed on a simple raft and pushed off towards the sea, where it was presumed where he would die a slow and isolated death either through the unrelenting waters or the blazing heat of the sun. Shinjiro was left to fend for himself against the elements of nature, for three agonizing weeks he was alone, adrift in the open ocean with very little food and water. Having been shamed, disgraced and losing absolutely everything that was important to him, he was ready to accept his cruel demise. But in his dying moments while he was barely clinging to life, a large ship on the horizon managed to spot his raft and he was pulled aboard. Starving, exhausted and dehydrated, these pirates aboard this vessel nursed him back to health and helped him regain his strength back. Once he was fully recovered, he was given the option to get off at the nearest port towards civilization. However, considering he was granted another gift by the gods of fate, Shinjiro was forever in debt for these pirate’s random act of kindness, despite these people being infamous criminals, he gained a large amount of respect for their leader who called herself "Zhang Yu". Upon the realization that these pirates were far from bandits who preyed on the weak and the helpless, he vowed to repay Zhang Yu’s kindness back and serve her. While he certainly never considered this sort of life, he agreed to join this pirate’s crew and fight by their side, now that he had a new reason to live and a driving force to continue forward, he wasn’t going to waste this chance at a new life. Shinji serving his crew while fully intending on following his own mission; to regain the honor that was taken from him and prove himself once more as the warrior he is. Personality: Shinjiro upon first impressions is immediately seen as very serious and stoic, he’s very silent and usually never peaks to others unless he’s spoken to first. He generally has a very strict and uptight demeanor about him which some might find respectable, while others might find annoying. Due to his stature, he also gives off a very intimidating aura around him, speaking volumes that he’s definitely not somebody you want to make enemies with. Despite having been stripped of his title as a samurai warrior and cast off from his home, he still regularly abides by the bushido code, as it’s been so heavily ingrained in his life that he couldn’t imagine living his life without it, honor and pride still play a huge role in his life and the decisions he makes. That being said he’s extremely loyal and will gladly give his life to protect those he serves and respects, despite not having a title he will still continue to have the warrior’s spirit in his heart. But, despite having an intimidating aura around him, he’s far from being careless and rude. He generally tries to be very polite and formal, even towards others who clearly annoy and bother him. He’s well aware that he, like everyone else isn’t perfect and tries to give himself and others the benefit of the doubt. Considering his upbringing and his background, it only makes sense that he maintains a dignified and upstanding stature, even towards those he doesn’t particularly like or respect. That isn’t to say he isn’t prone to bits of sarcasm and passive aggression, he definitely isn’t afraid of letting you know he isn’t fond of you. However with this mindset, Shinjiro is also very stubborn and one track minded, it takes a lot to sway his feelings and thoughts towards something once he’s made his mind.
Shinjiro can also be very sensitive and easily angered on certain topics if they’re brought up, anything concerning the code he abides by, blatant forms of disrespect and insults towards his name or his family will generally result in him fuming and standing his ground. But as a general sense, Shinjiro doesn’t like sharing emotions, considering he was raised in a society where people keep to themselves, Shinjiro is often reserved and keeps his opinions and feelings to himself unless he’s asked. Considering the burdens and baggage he carries on his shoulders regarding himself and his past, he often turns to alcoholic beverage to soothe himself and his inner feelings. He still feels the burden of shame for what he did, believing the consequences of his actions and the mess that followed were completely justified. The times he does come off as rude are usually due to cultural barriers, despite having a basic understanding of the english language, he still has trouble speaking English and understanding some mannerisms. Meaning sometimes he can come off as very blunt and insensitive even if at the end of it all, he means well. He’s learning and everyday he spends with his crew and the people around him, he feels like the more he blend in with the others.

Once Something is Too Late
Prompt “hero/villain”: She was the cold hearted monster, and he was the kind hearted hero.
Warning: um… kind of anguish, blood, death, school abuse(bullying), OCC, sexual abuse(?) And one more thing please read my end notes that i left below. I think is quite important.
Characters: Kurosaki Karin, Hitsugaya Toshiro. Mentioned: Matsumoto and Aizen
She sighed as she saw the person in front of her scream from pain. His blood coming out from the cut she did on his chest, arms, legs or simply everywhere on his body.
She loved seeing that rad liquid coming from others, because watching others in pain was her joy, and she was even surprised that this guy wasn’t yelling or wasn’t passed out from pain or blood lose yet, this guy was interesting.
She didn’t have time to waste so she moved the knife to his throat and cut it open so more blood came out of the guy. He was gone, dead and she finished another job that day.
Many would say that the society is truly a piece of shit, and she Kurosaki Karin learned the lesson when she was very young. Something that’d be a story for later.
As the girl looked at her blood covered watch and she cursed at the time remembering the meeting she had with her boss. Quickly she put her hoodie back on and disappeared into the dark street. As soon as she arrived at her apartment. She changed into the regular street clothes then throw the bloody ones in the bathroom sink.
Arriving at the hideouts of her gang was easy, it was a very creepy looking place called Las Noches where everything was painted in white, for her it was kind of like a mental hospital.
“Aizen-sama, I have successfully finished another mission, is there any other jobs that I could do?” She asked, Aizen was the leader of the Hueco Mundo gang, he was the founder of the home for criminals or people who look for second chances in life. She was no exception. She was going to end her life when she was saved by him and she learned that not everything was bad in this world, at least she knew that hurting others would bring her joy even if it was something horrible. She was hurt enough to ignore the good of other people.
“Ah, Karin-chan you are back so soon? It seems like that one mission was nothing to you, in that case I’d like to ask you something personal. Would you accept?” The leader asked. And she looked at him waiting for what he wanted to say next, it wasn’t everyday that their leader ask them a favor.
“Of course Aizen sama, who would you like me to eliminate?” She was Kurosaki Karin but know to others as the Ghost Killer, because of her numbers of crimes and murders as a professional assassin.
The man smirked “good, I knew I could count on you, you see this person has been a very big block to our success, so I want you to eliminate him. You have 2 month time to do it, and every information about him is in this folder.” He said handing her a green folder then she left the office without looking at Aizen.
Only after she left the room she opened the folder, and her eyes widened at the man in the photo.
Hitsugaya Toshiro 10th captain of the Gotei 13 police department…
That name brought so much memories to her, both good and bad. He used to be one of her few friends that supported her when others were bullying her. He was her childhood best friend until he too started to avoid her once the bigger rumors of her started to spread in high school
‘Look at her, she’s useless, she’s ugly, why can’t she be like her twin. Who’s beautiful and smart, Yuzu-chan knows everything she doesn’t!’
‘Why did you hit your classmates? What did they do to you huh Kurosaki?‘ She remembered that she used to be aggressive with others because she couldn’t take it anymore after everything that happened to her. She was bullied, humiliated and every time the teacher blames someone, that someone would always be her.
‘Can’t she be more like her sister? She’s so different, and all she could do is to hit people, I won’t be surprised if she end up in prison someday.’
‘I bet her mother died because she couldn’t stand living in a house with this girl in it, how can she be human? She’s a monster!’
‘Kurosaki Karin! This is the third time I saw you hit somebody! You are suspended for two month. I’ll be calling your father now, agh what a troublesome kid!’
'Karin chan, do you always have to be aggressive? I’m starting to think that the school suspended you is actually a good idea.’
'You bitch don’t come near me! I don’t want to get hurt!’
Not even her family believed her when she told them about her life in school, her older brother was out so he didn’t know anything about her or her sister, and Yuzu who was too absorbed in her own teenage years that she started to ignore her as well. She usually talks about her pain with the few friends she had but nothing more, she was afraid to tell others her feelings.
Those old memories were like nightmares, and they had hunted her for years, until Aizen came along into her life, he saved her by giving her a second chance of enjoying the thing she called life. She met him that one night during her suspension when she decided to escape from home and maybe look for her own life, and if not then she’d die on her own without any regrets. Sure there will be some people who’d be sad but they weren’t her and they weren’t suffering like she did. She was selfish but she didn’t care either. So that night she was wandering around, Aizen found her and he accepted her into the Hueco Mundo gang where she learned how to become a professional assassin and learned that watching others suffer make herself happier and she’d  forget about her past self for a period of time. It was almost like a drog to her
Without another thought she went to her own apartment, throwing the file somewhere  in the living room. She already knew enough about him to complete the mission without looking at the file.
He could say that his life was simple, wake up, eat, shower, work eat then sleep. Maybe sometimes he’d go out with some of his friends for a drink or two, but he’d never get too drunk. He didn’t like it.
Many things changed in his life from the time he was in high school and now. Like how he’d never think in a million of years that he’d one day become a police officer, a chief of a squad of Gotei 13 police department. The youngest one to be exact.
He guess that it all changed that day when he found out that his best friend went missing. The girl he used to think as more than a friend, a childhood crush he could call it, only what the feeling was stronger than a crush but not as strong as love itself.
Of course if he liked her, he knew what she have been through, he knew what those people say to her or do to her. But yet he never helped because he thought people say that because she was his friend or simply for the fact that people were jealous of her for being so close to him, the Hitsugaya Toshiro love by all. very popular around the school, he was rich, he had great grades, and he was good looking for those annoying girls in his opinion who stalked him everywhere.
He thought that if he’d avoid her than her life would get better, because every time they were together somewhere, the others would always come up with things like “oh is that bitch again, why is she around him anyways. Whatever magic she did on him she isn’t worthy of him” “what a witch, she must’ve brainwashed him, poor thing, I feel bad for him” every time he wanted to yell at them to shut up but Karin would always stop him and tell him that it isn’t worth it to waste energy and she’d give him a sad smile telling him that she’s fine.
And he hated that.
The reason he became a police officer was because of that, one reason would be try and find Karin, it had been 13 years and he still got no news of her. During those years he had graduated university by the age of 18, it was his luck because when the department was looking for apprentices and he was chosen as the best option and later he became the youngest chief by the age of 22. And other reasons would be to fight for justice in the world.
Then the past couple of weeks he has been very busy. With the new case of the Ghost Killer he couldn’t even find time to look for Karin.
“Captain Hitsugaya! Outside there is a girl who said she wanted to see you” his lieutenant Matsumoto entered the office when he was finishing off some of his lovely��paperwork.
“Tell her that I’m busy” he said.
“Captain she said that she know about the case you are working on, she know something about the Ghost Killer” Matsumoto insisted
“In that case let her in” he said almost automatically without looking up from his work.
Soon after Matsumoto left, a knock on his door was heard and he shouted out an enter and the door opened.
He still didn’t looked up and asked “you said that you know about the Ghost Killer, tell me about this person” he said coldly.
The girl just giggled “oh Toshiro, is this the way to treat an old friend?” After hearing that voice he looked up. And what shocked him the most was the girl he was looking for was standing in front of him. She hasn’t changed much but her hair was longer in a higher ponytail and she was no longer the 15 year old girl he last saw her as.
“Karin…?” He asked still too shocked to say anything.
The woman nodded “yeah, too shocked to see me or what?”
“Where have you been all this time.” He had many questions to ask but, he didn’t know where to start.
“Oh me? Well I have been to many places, you know all around the world” she said.
“Are you alright?” He didn’t know what to say to her any more.
“Of course, I’m perfectly fine. And I see you are great too”
“Why didn’t you come back to see your family, they are all worried about you. That night you left, they were very worried.” He said.
She laughed “oh is good to know that there are people who still care for me. But I’m perfectly fine on my own. I’m happier this way and I think this way I’m free from everything. So anyways, you wanted to know about this Ghost Killer?” She asked and he nodded.
“Why do you wish to know about them?”
“ because it is my job. I need to capture this assassin.”
She laughed and for a moment he thought she was smirking at him. “Then how about we make a deal? I’ll tell you everything about this person but you pay me with your life” she said.
“What?” He was shocked, did she meant to kill him, why would she want his life?
“You heard me, I want your life in exchange of this person’s information.”
“Why do you want my life?”
“Personally I don’t care about your life Toshiro, but someone is willing to pay me for your head, you can’t really blame me. With that amount of money I could do many things you know?” By then she had already moved to his back. She was hugging him. “What do you say?”
He swallowed at her closeness “when did you became like this? I know you’d never hurt me Karin”
She laughed, taking out a knife with her free hand “how are you so sure? Just admit it, I’ve changed, and you don’t know me anymore.” She moved the blade closer to his skin and she slowly undid his tie, with a few bottoms of his shirt. “You want to know about the Ghost Killer? She’s right in front of you. I wonder why aren’t you afraid?” She added.
He swallowed “Karin why? Why are you doing this. Aren’t we friends? Why did you became the Ghost Killer?” 'It can’t be, she can be the infamous murder, can she?’
She laughed bitterly “do you really think I care about this friendship crap? I’m sorry Hitsugaya but that word doesn’t exist in my dictionary anymore.” She whispered into his ears, biting softly his neck in the process, causing him to moan softly. He couldn’t move because of the knife she had in front of his chest, he learned that when he got a small cut when he moved.
“You know, you should say something now. Or is it that you are speechless?” She asked smirking at the same time.
He said. “Do you know why I separated from you back then?” He paused as he sighed looking for the right term to explain. “I couldn’t be close to you because they started to bully you even more when you were with me. I thought that if I avoid you then those people will stop too. But then I realized that it was useless. The day I want to apologize to you it was already too late, your family called mine saying that you went missing, do you know how worried they were? How worried I was? I never meant to hurt you Karin, I could never hurt you.” He said sadly
She laughed softly in order to mask the tears forming in her eyes. “Well whatever happened nobody understood me, I left without any choice, I thought that if I ended my life then everyone would be happy you know? But instead he saved me. Aizen sama saved me and he give me this second chance in life.” He tensed at the name Aizen but didn’t show it. “I own him my life. And I don’t care what I have to pay. Whatever you want to tell me Hitsugaya is already too late” she said
“Then why can’t we start over?” He asked?
“You still can’t seem to understand can you?” She moved the knife closer to his throat her head close to his, her mouth softly kissed his neck and he moaned at the addiction of her free hand caressing his chest and lower stomach, he wasn’t aware but somehow she had managed to undo his belt and his pants. She was touching him in the wrong way, and he couldn’t do anything but to surpass the moans and groans he let out. And ignoring the painful pleasure she was giving him. “We’ll never be the same anymore. Even if we want to start over, we don’t belong to same society anymore, you are the kind hearted hero whose name will be known by all. And I’d always be the cold blooded villain who you’d capture and be humiliated in front of the world. I’m sorry but I don’t want that. Besides the Karin you all used to know is now dead, she had been reborn to this society once again, but she became someone completely different”
“Please let me change you again. I know that Karin is still somewhere. You aren’t completely heartless.” He stopped and bite his lips hard when she cut through his skin. That way he didn’t yell in pain. Either ways, he tried his best to ignore the pain and focus on her.
“Really? I’d like to see you try, but just give up. You know you can’t do anything to me.”
“ I promise that I will change, just you wait. I will make sure everything is back to normal again.”
“Don’t joke with me, you know that it’s not true. Beside I don’t trust you anyway, how am I sure that you won’t break this promise like you did before?”
'Hey Toshiro could you promise that no matter what, we’ll be best friends forever? Do you promise that you’ll never leave me when I most needed?’
'Of course Karin, we are best friends, and that means we’ll always be here for each other despite the situation.’
He was once again speechless because she was right, he couldn’t do anything “ fine, kill me then, if killing me is what you want then I will give you my life” he said.
She smirked. “ good, then see you late. I’ll see you next time Toshiro. I wish you are more prepared for next time because the next time we see each other things won’t be so innocent like today. I’ll make sure that you’ll beg me for your death. That’s how I kill someone. Well good bye for now” she turned his head and connected her lips to his, the kiss wasn’t sweet nor passionate, it was harsh, like she was declaring a war from that one kiss. Then before his brain started to work probably and recuperated from his shock of the kiss, she had already left, leaving him there like a baby staring at the window once again ignoring the pain from his wounds.
She didn’t go anywhere after that. She went back to her apartment directly afterwards, because in the end she wasn’t in the mood to do anything after everything that happened in that office. And she realized something: no matter how cold her blood is, she could never kill Hitsugaya Toshiro with her own hands.
'Well it seems like that the villain is never meant to win against the hero. How sad, but why should I care. My life is happy or isn’t it?’
It was strange how the next day she showed up in front of the police station and she confessed all her crimes in the past, for an exchange, they agree to execute her sooner. A death penalty* was all she wanted.
However his face was all over the newspapers. People might think he was happy. But he wasn’t.
He felt guilty for what happened to her, it wasn’t her fault, it never was. Hitsugaya Toshiro wrote a book, a book about this life, in it he mentioned her. He mentioned everything, the truth behind all those crimes that she caused after finding a letter left in her apartment when she died.
Is always the good guys with the happy ending and never the bad guys. Even if they were once innocent.
End.
*so, since I’m not from a country where death penalty is legal. And I don’t know if in Japan thats legal either so im sorry if this offended someone.
