reread yoi's lovely confession in uruwashi no yoi no tsuki ch15 and ichimura's reaction to yoi's confession while she faced away, asking her to turn around, and then seeing her bright red face, reminded me of another one of yamamori mika works where the girl tries to hide her Extreme Blushing but ends up showing the person she loves
yes i'm writing about hirunaka no ryuusei again
let's compare the two scenes. both girls are Highly Embarrased, facing away from their love interest. the guys are surprised to what's going on. first is uruwashi no yoi no tsuki ch15:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
then hirunaka no ryuusei ch40:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then, the guys become aware of what's happening and they both ask their girl to turn around. they want to see their face (always, but guess that's not possible). the girls are hesistant, understandably, because they feel vulnerable. their mask, not showing their face, feels safe. their secret would be out in the open if they'd turn around. there'd be no going back.
to the left is hirunaka no ryuusei, to the right is uruwashi no yoi no tsuki:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the girls turn around. faces bright red. bashful. honestly, they've never looked more cute. the guys see it clearly on their face. no hiding in plain sight.
to the left is hirunaka no ryuusei, to the right is uruwashi no yoi no tsuki:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the guys react how anyone would when the person they love is blushing. they reach out. they want more. above is hirunaka no ryuusei, below uruwashi no yoi no tsuki:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
they both experience the rewards of submitting to the mortifying ordeal of being known

BF TSUKKI<3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
plot: random bf tsukki headcanons. reader insert.
a/n: your honor i love him. also i wrote this on a whim while listening to body paint by arctic monkeys
proofread?did i proofread this??idk :D
"and if you're thinking of me, then i'm probably thinking of you"
tsukishima wakes up super early to have enough time to be a hater
he really doesn't, he probably sleeps super late, spending the time on his phone and wakes up moderately early, like 10-11 AM
doesn't want akiteru to find out about him being in a relationship, he'll probably annoy him the fuck out and make him uncomfortable
so you don't really hang out at his house and the one time akiteru saw the pair of you walking down the street, he jumped in to ask you if you were his s/o and you kinda lagged out, not really knowing what to answer since you knew kei didn't want him to know for the time being but also feeling guilty for lying
kei saved it though
lmao no he didn't, akiteru was sure that you were his partner after that encounter
you, kei and tadashi are such a power trio,its kinda like those shonen trios (nobara/megumi/yuuji, aki/power/denji)
ukai teases you a lot as his assistant and eventually takeda sensei starts doing so too in his own ways
but whenever hinata or kageyama do so, tsuki goes well, tsuki mode
tanaka and nishinoya probs ogle after you but when guys from other teams do so they protect you out of respect for you and their teammate's honor
tsukishima often sends you songs that remind him of you, he never outright tells you so but you figure it out after the first few times he sends them to you.
looks over at you after scoring a point or doing a great block to see your reaction, his chest swells with pride
dumbass (affectionate)
tries to annoy you a lot but you know it's out of love
you're kind of like the default settings for him. sad? go to y/n. happy? y/n. wants to go out? y/n. is hungry? y/n might be hungry too so he's gonna pick up something extra for you too.
would die if he made you feel uncomfortable, like you don't understand how sick with himself he would feel if he ever made you feel like that.
super proud of you when you say something he would to the team. everyone's like "YOU CORRUPTED THEM >:(" and he's in the back smiling smugly and patting your head.
cuddly when sleepy. my brother in christ will on god lay on top of you, literally almost crush u, push his face in your neck and whine but as soon as you coo at him and say something along the lines of "aw is my baby sleepy?" he'll DENY e v e r y t h i n g. he's worse than youtubers getting caught red handed committing a crime. like tf you mean, there's literally evidence📸
he thinks about you so much throughout the day, you're his safe space <//3
he is kind of insecure though. when he notices other teams approaching you, it's then that others' comments about him begin to soak in.
of course he wouldnt admit it but you can see it in the way his face falls
tell him you love him and wont leave him 🔪
sometimes cries about this at night
he knows other people could be more open about their feelings to you and you deserved to be told how perfect you are as much possible
but he tries so much :(
he never saw it as "just a relationship" what you have is one of the few things he actually takes seriously
tsukishima is great bf and i said what i said

Jack Jeanne Complete Collection - Interview with Terasaki Yuka (Kisa’s Voice Actor) Translation
This short cast interview is from the Jack Jeanne Complete Collection art book!
Tumblr media
Ishida: What were your impressions when you first saw the setting of Jack Jeanne?
Terasaki: It’s a story about teenagers putting on plays together that’s drawn by the creator of Tokyo Ghoul, Ishida Sui-sensei. That information alone was all it took for me to be interested. I’m sure a lot of other people thought the same.
Since it’s a story that takes place in a theatre school, I found the way it's like a game meets theatre to be unique. I also found the aspect that the shows are put on by an all male cast to be really intriguing.
Ishida: When you were voicing Tachibana Kisa, were there any aspects of your performance that you had to be careful about?
Terasaki: Kisa is a character herself, but she is also the stand in for everyone that’s playing the game. That’s why I stuck to the initial impression of the script as much as possible without adding too much of my own flair. I wanted her to be ‘transparent’ like Quartz.
In the romantic scenes especially, I want the player to have their heart racing over what Kisa’s love interest is saying and focus on them. So during those scenes I made sure to act out Kisa’s emotions more subtly. I’d like for those playing to be able to decide their own colours for Kisa, so I left some of her canvas blank. I remember I would go into the recording sessions keeping that in mind.
Ishida: Were there any particular challenges you faced while working on Jack Jeanne?
Terasaki: The singing. When I first listened to the songs with the temporary vocals I was like ‘I’m going to be singing this!?’ and my anxiety quickly turned into terror! I had to reconstruct the way I’d been singing up until then from scratch. It was very difficult and I was unsure about a lot of things, but now thanks to Jack Jeanne I love singing even more than I did before.
Ishida: Other than Kisa, are there any other characters that are your favourite or that you took a liking to?
Terasaki: Tachibana Tsuki… He’s Kisa’s older brother, but there’s still a lot of unsolved mysteries surrounding him. I can’t help but be curious about him. I’d love to read a novel or something about Tsuki-nii when he was a student at Univeil. I’d like to see Fumi-san and the other third years when they weren’t upperclassmen too.
Ishida: Quartz, Onyx, Rhodonite, Amber. If you were to enrol at Univeil, which class would you like to be assigned to?
Terasaki: The relationships between the seniors and juniors are wonderful in every class, however I think I’d have to pick Quartz. Since I don’t think you can join the other three unless you’re already particularly skilled at singing, dancing or acting. So I’d like to find my own way to express my individuality in Quartz!
Ishida: You have some experience with stage acting, so were there any scenes or moments in the game that you could relate to?
Terasaki: Jack Jeanne has a lot of different choices and branches in the story. You can choose different lines to say during the plays too, but no matter which one you choose the show will still reach its conclusion. If another actor changes something then you have to change with them, and if you change something, then they have to change with you. Even though every performance of a show is supposed to have the same programme and script and movements, you go into it with a fresh mind each day and there are slight differences between the shows.
There are things you sometimes only realise on opening day when you see the audience walking in, so I could relate to the sense of tension actually putting on a show brings. I’d love for the players to see how each character's dialogue changes with each option, so please play through the shows multiple times!
Ishida: Every show in the game is quite different thematically, which one (setting, musical composition, etc) did you like best? Also, were there any shows that you’d like to try starring in in real life?
Terasaki: All of the shows are very different and I love all of them, but the one that I felt the most accomplished and happily tired after was the autumn performance. During auditions, the selection of lines from it were full of passion and tension, so I remember being excited to record for the autumn performance.
As for which one I’d like to try in real life, it would be Sissia of the Central Nation. When I recorded my lines for the whole show in one session, I started arranging how the stage set would look like in my mind. I’d think ‘this line would definitely be delivered from the top of the set, and this line would be said from the audience to the stage’. I’d read the lines whilst imagining what the show would look like and the performance that I could picture the clearest was Sissia of the Central Nation. So I ended up really wishing I could see it in person.

I am so incredibly in love with your let's kill sensei au, assasination classroom was one of my first animes I watched bootlegged on youtube and it will always have a special place in my heart. Since you wittled down the class size, do you have any plans for the rest of the gen ed kids? Making them other ua kids, oc's or maybe snatching some from the original assclass show?
Ah thank you!! I watched it when I was like 14-16 and remembered loving it - I've just finished season 1 and its so much stranger than I remember,,, still very funny though!
I tragically have an internal rule that yells at me to keep my AUs AUs and crossovers crossovers, so no assassination classroom students. I'm throwing in the only 2 other canon first year gen ed students, some other UA students and some OCs to fill out the roster so we have:
Midoriya Izuku
Uraraka Ochako
Shinsou Hitoshi
Kuroiro Shihai (the 1B student - he failed the entrance exam in this AU)
Togeike Chikuchi (canon gen ed student - girl - no official quirk - quirk: paper manipulation)
Agoyamato Tsutsutaka (canon gen ed student - boy - no official quirk - quirk: drill hair)
Furasu Maina (canon 1H support student - she tried for heroics in this AU - no canon quirk - quirk: polarity)
Ito Hikari (canon student 1C - girl - no official name/quirk - quirk: optic fibre hair!)
Hai Kaze (canon 1C student - boy - no official name/quirk - quirk: big lungs
Kuzu Ono (oc - boy - quirk: plant body)
Kesshou Beni (oc - nb - quirk: crystalline)
Hane Tsuki (oc - girl - quirk: moth wing)
Yoku Kiteku (oc (appears briefly - unnamed- in an old fic of mine) - girl - quirk: gossip)
I love everyone on this list - even the silly BG characters that have no lines.

not to drop a litle negativity here but I saw a haikyu ship poll to which personally, I don't mind if you like other main ships over bokuaka
if you like iwaoi more than bokuaka? that's valid! because it's your preference
kagehina over bokuaka? also valid! because again that's your opinion and I can respect it and so on for the other main ships
although in the very least, don't downplay/twist the canon material to prove that your ship is superior TvT. Furudate-sensei didn't canonically state that bokuaka were written to be foils to each other, both of them being each other's greatest inspiration in the OFFICIAL character sheet and have a well written dynamic for you to oversimplify what their dynamic amounted to at the end of the series.
for context, the haikyu ship poll that sort of spread caused tension cause they added extra captions like asanoya being a flop ship, iwaoi inventing love over bokuaka and the likes to which they also tweeted this:
Tumblr media
personally I can respect op for liking iwaoi over bokuaka because that's their opinion + I love iwaoi chaotic childhood friends my beloved :'<< but for their argument to not give a proper reason/ water down bokuaka's dynamic is really saddening
so instead of cooking op since the quotes on the tweet are doing it (and I personally don't like starting/insulting anyone cause it just adds fuel to the flame than any actual progress) I'll just drop an actual list of evidence as to why this is wrong:
"They had like 5 moments"
bokuaka had more moments than solely 5 moments as op states and to make it fair I'll be removing bokuaka main moments this would include: iddle fleeting thought, we are the protagonists, give me your 120%.
It's important to note that most of bokuaka's main moments are found in Fukurodani's respective match. However if we remove these 3 pivotal moments than it still manages to disprove they had only 5 moments because bokuaka had a severe number of moments prior to this which would include the following:
a. Training camp arc: naturally bokuaka's introduction, bokuto doing a killer spike and immediately choosing to ask akaashi if he saw it, and of course the most well known moment of bokuto receiving an emo mode and alaashi not only knowing how to solve it but also that he knows bokuto's weaknesses, instills it in his mind
b. Post Training camp arc: albeit briefly, bokuto and akaashi were shown to which bokuto swears that he's been praise and akaashi brushes it off. despite being a brief moment, it shows alone that bokuaka hang out together in lunch or they are each other's company
c. Land vs Sky: it's been a while since I watched this so my apologies if my memory is rusty but I remember nekoma'a attempts of shutting bokuto down to which akaashi noticed + motivated bokuto
d. Nationals arc: this one naturally has the most but to simplify and at least show they had moments would be the little interactions they had throughout karasuno's matches, "THAT'S OUR TSUKI" "He's not ours Bokuto-san", akaashi being worried for bokuto and asking him to go back into the hotel due to the flu only for bokuto to bring it up again later on meaning he remembers akaashi's words, and naturally the entirety of the mujinazaka match that showed their backstories, established firther that bokuto cares about akaashi just as much and is attentive of him and the growth of their characters not solely as a pair but as individuals
With this, tell me then, did bokuaka only have just 5 moments? Even if you take away the moments bokuaka are most known for, there's still a SEVERE number of moments the two of them shared.
And dont get me started on timeskip because that's for the next point-
"bokuto never mentioned that man out of highschool?"
To put it simply, a good portion of the timeskip arc was the msby vs adlers match, this includes bokuto's appearance who mainly is in the story AT THE START OF THE MATCH. Meaning, there wasn't a window of opportunity for bokuto to talk about akaashi because Furudate-sensei had him and his main focus already at the match, there wasn't any slice of life tidbit as both teams went straight into the match after the bathroom confrontation. It would be very out of place if bokuto mentioned akaashi in the middle of a pretty intense match/it wouldnt have made sense for bokuto just randomly bring up akaashi while he's spiking during the match.
bokuto has in fact made a reference to akaashi during the match/post highschool. When hinata and atsumu unleash a killer spike against the Adlers, bokuto shouted "the first strike is always the most lethal!" (or something similar, I forgot the exact quote :'DD) to which is a nod and referencr to the EXACT same thing akaashi said during the inarizaki match. Not only this but mind you that bokuto shouted this WITH akaashi in two very DIFFERENT places. It implies that bokuto still remembers akaashi or references him and the things they tell each other all the way from highschool
the ultimate evidence is of course the post match because bokuto quite literally meets akaashi again when he gets interviewed. how does bokuto react? big smile on his face and invites akaashi to a meat date later on (I don't even mean to write this in a romantic context because the fact that bokuto wanted to hang out and spend time with akaashi in and of itself shows that akaashi is still relevant and important in his life)
There's so much more evidence to simply say that op's tweet is wrong but it would make this post severely long. Simply, it's one thing to choose, disrespect even, another person's ship but it's another to simply discard canon in the hopes of proving another ship is better.
Bokuaka are so much more than what they're iconic moments dictate them for, I mentioned it once but I'll say it again: the fact that they're not even childhood friends or in different years yet still grounded in a dynamic of trust and respect that carries to the years is impressive and just shows why they're a very beloved ship in the community in the first place.

Alex found a few old pictures of Taiyou sensei Tsukiyo sensei Kirara sensei and Kana shun as preteens hanging out together.
“Ah, i see you found our old yearbook. That’s me, Tsuki, Kira, and Kana back in elementary school. A few years older than you.”

every time tsukishima says "mun" (むんッ)
i noticed that mun had become tsukishima's associated sound / almost a catchphrase in japanese fanart, so when reading the manga in japanese, i decided to keep an eye out and make a note of every time he says it.
volume 8, chapter 78 — he says むんッ while kicking the shit out of ogata. it isn't a word; it's an effort noise. EH scans translated this one as "HAHH!"
(50 chapters later, still nothing…)
(100 chapters later, still nothing...)
(almost 150 chapters later, still nothing, but usami says むんッ when he kicks tomoharu's neck in, chapter 226. EH scans translated it as "HRNGH!!" i think no one else said it in the mean time.)
(more than 150 chapters later, still nothing, even when tsukishima directs two big kicks toward tanigaki in chapter 229 and totally could have said mun.)
volume 25, chapter 244 — tsukishima finally says むんッ again... while playing menko with koito (and winning). i have a feeling noda-sensei gave us this one as a joke because he knew people were waiting for it. EH scans translated this one as "HRNH!"
(for another 50+ chapters, tsukishima does plenty of nice kicks and other forceful actions during which he could have said mun, but he doesn't.)
volume 31, chapter 303 — he says むんッ one last time while throwing an entire bayonetted rifle at ushiyama. it was worth the wait. EH scans translated it as "HRNGH!"
conclusion: i was expecting more muns than that, given its ubiquity in fanart. i guess everyone just really, really liked it the first time and latched on forever. maybe part of the joke is that the "tsuki" in "tsukishima" means "moon," and "mu-n" (ムーン) is the way to transliterate the english word "moon," so it's like moon guy says something like "moon" while he kicks the shit out of you and that's lovable.

Me and @jacktheidiot have a crossover/alternate universe in which my Catnos and Jack's V end up together with Sensei and each other. They end up with 8 kittenbots and we wanted to (re)introduce them.
1 - This is Calico. She's curious and a quick learner. She grows up to be a mechanic
2 - This one is Junior. He looks the most like V and when young he always wants to be near V, preferably in his hoodie pocket, or he'll be upset.
As an adult he goes by J and is a music teacher. He has a catgirl girlfriend and they have a son together.
3 - This is Tsuki. They are very energetic and full of mischief. Tsuki loves dogs and their hero is dog!Garou. As an adult they do martial arts and have an artistic streak.
4 - This is Ichigo. He's a calm child but with strong likes/dislikes who only eats certain things. As an adult, he loves to cook and experiment in the kitchen.
Jack has drawn the other four!
I love our kittens ❤️

Fandom Year in Review (2023)
It's the very last day of 2023, which means it's time for my annual look back and some number-crunching with my AO3 stats and writing over the year!
(Before I get to setting next year's goals and back to writing before midnight, of course! ;))

. . .and there's my look back on 2023! I explored new things and fell (unexpectedly deeply, perhaps) into some beloved old ones, tried to curtail my impulses on driving too hard on events while still participating and having fun. . .
Of course as always I have many things in the works (a moon-cycle-related project for all of 2024, my upcoming 7th year of doing my Valentine's Spectacular, a dark and twisty longfic. . .) and I'll be back soon! Maybe even with a new story tomorrow? We'll see!
Regardless, I'll always be around on AO3 and I'm sure not going anywhere!
Happy New Year!

Ok, so.
After I listened to Momoi and Sonoi's insert song I asked my friend Nacho to translate it. The minute they heard the title of the song, their immediate reaction was:
Tumblr media
Obviously, I was confused asf LOL!
So they wrote an essay with the context of it all in the translation document, and I thought I should that with y'all <3.
Momoi & Sonoi's Insert Song, Title Meaning:
(This is just aa copy and paste of Nacho's essay in the translation doc:)
I’m sure this is a surprise to literally no one, but this song has strong romance-coding LOL! This is half irrelevant background and rambling, but I’m sure it will be of use to you guys when you consume other Japanese media in the future hahaha. Or at least it’s an interesting little tidbit to know.
So basically the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this song is “tsuki ga kirei desu ne” which translates to “the moon is beautiful, isn’t it?” in English. Hard to explain but it’s kind of an urban legend/a common saying that this phrase is how Japanese people typically confess romantic feelings. I have no source for this, but I think it’s because 月 (tsuki/moon) sounds like 好き (suki/like). In other words, the “joke” is that Japanese people don’t talk straightforwardly, they have to say things by saying something else and alluding to the subject.
This saying or whatever is attributed to Natsume Souseki-sensei, an author (and literary professor) from the Meiji era (which was 1868-1912) who is pretty infamous in Japan. Up until 2004 his face was on the 1000 yen note. You guys will definitely see references to him in all kinds of Japanese media, he’s that kind of infamous where everybody knows him without really understanding his work—like Shakespeare (not important but Natsume-sensei loved Shakespeare and Milton). Most of the time in anime and video games and manga, if there’s a character that’s supposed to be or reference him, he’ll have a cat, or have cat powers, or be a cat, something something cat because one of his most famous books is I Am a Cat. It’s a satirical novel criticizing the mixture of Western culture with Japanese and to this day a lot of school kids have to read it for class in Japan.
Anyways, the relevant part is that he was fluent in English and completed his education in England. His field as a professor was British Literature but he also wrote haiku. Basically, he obviously had some skill in translation too. According to the story, Natsume-sensei was supervising or he overheard a student translating an English phrase: “I love you” into Japanese. Natsume-sensei thought it sounded extremely awkward and brutish to translate it so literally so he re-translated it to “the moon is beautiful, isn’t it?” which, he felt appreciated the nuances and sensibilities of Japanese. There’s other different versions of the story I think, but absolutely no evidence any of the versions actually happened. Very likely Natsume-sensei had nothing to do with this phrase LOL. Anyways that’s why I called it an urban legend/common saying.
All this to say that calling this song “Only the moon knows” is totally referencing that phrase. More like having Sonoi always talk about the moon in the show (I assume that’s what happens anyhow) is definitely meant to trigger the gaydar.
Tumblr media
So this is a love song is what I’m really saying, though I’m preaching to the choir.

Posting chapter 1 of Tsuki fanfic. 18 chapters are already out in case you want to read more.
Tsuki 🌙
 Anime » Naruto Rated: M, English, Hurt/Comfort & Angst, Sasuke U., Hinata Hyuuga
Chapter 1
Artist credit (follow them on twitter): https://mobile.twitter.com/dhjs_0010
Tumblr media
A/N: This story is post-war, canon-divergent. Angst and trauma are major themes but if you'd stick around, you'd get a whiff of love as well. [SasuHina]
Hinata sat in the back garden with her eyes on the ground. The sun was lifting his head over her horizon but she chose to concentrate at the dew-covered ground under which rare saplings slept in the soil, twinkling like stars under her Byakugan.
After war, even when Naruto was safe, she didn't let go of her training. She might have started out with a purpose, but training came naturally to her now. The idea of purpose did not matter and even though, the purpose was the jewel of her heart, her training transcended beyond thoughts and emotions. With some more time and effort, her Byakagun sharpened to realize that even trees had souls. Is this how her ancestor felt? The ill-fated Kaguya.
But these trees were nothing like the husk of ten-tails. They had no violence. By looking at their nature energy, the bare minuscule that she could muster to visualize, she felt that she belonged. A little less alien on the planet, she found amidst war, which was never originally hers. Her thoughts had turned less chaotic the day she had found out about this truth. It felt like uncovering a forgotten memory...deep down, she always felt that the planet was not her original home. But she easily suppressed such thoughts. What good would come out of them?
She got up, straightened her gardening skirt, and lifted her head to look at the sun--the effect was immediate. Her face bloomed like sunflowers would bloom against the sunshine. In that moment, she felt grateful to be alive--filled with humility, root of her essence.
At the cottage's entrance, she took off her slippers and noiselessly slipped into the kitchen. For Kurenai, it was as difficult as an upper rank mission to fall asleep these days, and it made Hinata worry. With little Mirai on Kurenai's hands, it was already a struggle to set a sleeping schedule to begin with. Having a child as a shinobi was not an easy business, Hinata noted to herself. But being a shinobi does grant mental and physical agility against the challenges of of parenthood (single parenthood in this case).
Hinata took a steaming cup of tea to Kurenai's bedroom and stole a minute to admire the heart-warming scene. Mirai slept peacefully in her mother's arms. Her mother, asleep as herself, cradled Mirai's head to restrain restless movements brought on by unknown dreams that the child was incapable of articulating just yet. Observing this scene in secrecy, something tugged at Hinata's heart and like a child, she too found herself incapable of articulating the feeling that filled her with gratitude. Warmth climbed up her face and she felt her heart burst with joy.
After moving to a secluded cottage, two weeks away from Konoha, Hinata had never felt so free. But more so, she felt that she belonged. Of course, it was not a vacation for any of them. They would not have left behind Konoha if they could help it. But Naruto, who was now the Hokage, had decreed all genjutsu masters to go into hiding. For Kurenai, one of the elite shinobis of the village, the summons were personal. She was advised to take a squad of jonin along but Kurenai being Kurenai, refused such indulgence. Yet since it was Hokage's order, she couldn't shun it altogether and requested Hinata's able company for guardianship.
Shikamaru didn't want to hear the end of it. He would accompany Mirai and her mother to the end of the world. That was his promise. But on Naruto's compliance to Kurenai's suggestion, he had to give in.
Hinata felt a tinge of pride in her sensei's choice but also took the responsibility very seriously. The danger to Kurenai's life was no joke. In the fourth shinobi war, for the first time, all hidden villages and capitals, even the commoners, encountered the chakra-art, and not just any chakra-art, a Tsukuyomi: the most powerful genjutsu in existence. It was potent and addictive, not just for commoners but also for the surviving shinobis. Especially for the surviving shinobis. Those who were dealing with the very grief of surviving against the sea of the dead. After Madara's Tsukuyomi was lifted, a rude awakening had immediately followed.
As people fell off trees like fruits, there were cries across the planet as if millions of toddlers were broken from their sleep. The wailing was gut-wrenching. While the elite shinobis of higher ranks managed to withstand the genjutsu's after-effects, they were barely a minority. The rest of the masses wanted to return to the dream where their dead loved ones waited for them for an embrace.
Different villages took different approaches to solve this dream-hunger. In Hidden Cloud Village, as moon effigies popped up in the corners of the village, the Raikage ordered imprisonment for anyone carrying such contrabands and symbols of delusions. He would literally destroy the moon if he had to, he had confessed to his brother. In the Hidden Mist Village, on the other hand, they would produce confusion tactics to quiten the rebels from propagating their ideology. But when that didn't last, ANBU level ninjas hunted these moon rebels and attacked their underground tunnels with a fog filled with numbing agents, quite literally smoking the rats out. Even the peace-loving Sand, under the benevolent guardianship of Gaara, understood the violence of such moves with sorrow. Grief tugged at Gaara's heart when he had to entomb the rebels to cease the spread of madness, he himself grew up with. In a strange reversed situation, Gaara recognized the familiar madness in the villager's eyes, a madness that had been his friend since childhood. He knew, if left uncontrolled, it will infect everyone. Madara's dream might just posthumously come true.
But the situation plummeted after Konoha's move. In a meeting with the Konoha council, Kakashi found himself staring blankly in the fire. Daimyo's strange suggestion of re-installing a small-scale genjutsu for Konoha. His reasoning came at a striking period of time when Kakashi was about to transfer his power to Naruto, and so neither Kakashi nor Naruto had enough political power to counter Daimyo's suggestion. Daimyo's reasoning had been: "If we give people what they want, it will help them wean off better. Like little babes with mother's milk."
For this purpose, Kurenai was brought to the center stage. Kurenai warned about the consequences of such a plan. A genjutsu erases lines between dualities. Reality and unreality. But given the political pressure, she decided to install a day long genjutsu for Konoha's shinobi and villagers. Those who wanted to sit out, could, and even those who partook in it, should have a safe window to return from their dreams. But just as the clock was about to strike the day over, Kurenai found Damiyo's own bodyguard, mercilessly killing off her fellow genjutsu users who had helped her cast a village-wide genjutsu. The plan had been to kill the genjutsu-casters so that the key is lost with the lock. Reading the mad logic that lead to such a disastrous situation, Kurenai knocked the bodyguard down and immediately released the genjutsu, albeit faster than she had intended. After which, she requested Kakashi to send ANBU to settle the situation in the village. She knew that the waking would bring a terrible uproar because of sudden unwinding of the jutsu.
But now that the genjutsu was released, the rebels wanted her alive. Or anyone like her. The news soon spread like fire to the other villages and as a result, many genjutsu users had to go into hiding. The whole incidence had left a sour taste in Kurenai's mouth, and as much as she hated for Mirai to grow up in a place which was not Konoha, she was relieved to be free of prying eyes.
And Hinata was an angel. She put down the cup of tea on Kurenai's bedside table and found her Sensei's sharp shinobi senses stir to her noiseless movements.
"Good morning...how was your sleep?"
"It was much better", Kurenai smiled in assurance. But Hinata could always read between the lines.
It was time for their morning training, and so, Hinata gave Kurenai some space to freshen up and meet her in the garden. Hinata missed training with Neji. But she knew he had bigger responsibilities-duties, she had once envisioned for herself. But with time, she had realized that she was never cut out for it. The compound full of men did nothing to ease her own self-expectations and self-hatred. Perhaps, underneath it all, she still wanted to prove something to them. With these thoughts, chaos returned to her and she gave a solid palm to the heavily bruised bark that took beating from her every day.
It had been two months since they fled Konoha and found a refuge in a cottage uphill. The weather was cooler at this side and soothed her senses. Since leaving, they had not encountered any danger. Hinata found it jarring. She was afraid that she would fall victim to this long-standing peace which was addictive in its own sense. Like a knife, ironic to her own gentle nature, she sharpened herself every day to prevent a mishap that may result from an addiction to comfort.
