miguel with a jealous fiance
-
“stare a little longer and you might actually kill her, y/n” jess chuckles as she follows your eyesight, spotting miguel being flirted by a woman whom you’ve never seen before.
you and miguel are attending a gala fundraiser. run by some rich bastard named ‘bruce wayne’. he didn’t want to go at first, but because mr. wayne had sent the invitations to you both himself, it would be rude not to attend. plus, it’s best if he’s out and try to socialize, make some new friends instead.
but now you’re starting to regret the decision when you see some red haired getting cozy with your man. she keeps touching his arm, giggling obnoxiously at something he said. which pisses you off because your fiancé is not that funny.
Ignoring jess’s comment, you twirl the wine glass softly, emerald green manicured nails clicking against it. you bite the inside of your cheek with cold eyes dead set on the girl. you wanted to laugh at how that woman had been trying too hard to catch his attention.
miguel isn’t doing anything rather than answering without holding an eye contact, casually sipping his whiskey on rock as he searches through the crowd. you could tell he’s annoyed. but it wouldn’t be polite for him to tell her to fuck off, would it?
god, you wish he had the balls to actually do it.
“you know he wouldn’t do such thing right?”
scoffing as if it’s the most stupid question ever, you nod. of course he wouldn’t. he’s too damn crazy about you.
“i know. it’s her i don’t trust” you mutter, almost growling. “that bitch could clearly see he has a ring on his finger. she fucking blind or something?!”
jess could only laugh while shaking her head. she thinks you and miguel are too much alike. a perfect pair. “then show her who’s the boss.”
“oh i will” you respond with hesitation, gulping down every last drop of your drink before setting the glass down on the table. “be right back”
with that, you flick your hair over your shoulder, adjusting the straps of your silky emerald green dress and begin walking towards your fiancé’. jess’s commentary about ‘try not to kill her’ from behind fall deaf upon your ears.
sorry, jess. no promises.
you could feel all eyes on you as you walk. it’s hard not to. men and women craning their shoulders to get a better look at the beautiful woman who looks like she’s invented class and beauty herself. the world completely stop when you walk through the crowd.
and not to be cocky or anything, but you’re fully aware of how gorgeous you are. with curves that look like built by the gods themselves, full plump soft lips and long, beautiful thick hair that cascade down to your back and eyes sharp enough to draw sailors if you were ever a siren.
it’s like looking at freyja the goddess whom paid a visit on earth.
as miguel’s eyes continues to scan through the busy evening filled with mindless chatters, his dark red irises then stop at you. a small grin creeps to his face when he sees you walking towards him with your head held up high.
but your eyes aren’t on him, it’s on the woman.
“i just think, that you are sooo-“
“so what?” you cut her off with a fake smile and arms crossed over your chest. standing beside your soon to be husband, you watch how the woman’s eyes then flicker to your figure. “making friends without me, my love? how impolite”
miguel shakes his head, his hand quick enough to snake around your waist pulling you close. “of course not, mi vida. this is—“
“not interested. so, you wanna fuck my husband?” your voice coming off venomous, glaring at the woman who seems to be shocked at your question.
a sigh escape from miguel’s mouth, one that implies ‘this is not going to be good’
the woman has her mouth hang wide open as she struggles to respond. she can’t exactly decide whether she’s intimidated by you or attracted to you.
“i—i’m so sorry… I didn’t know he had a wife—“
with a scoff, you roll your eyes. “you’ve been eyeing and talking to my man for at least twenty minutes. you’re saying that your eyesight is so fucking jacked you couldn’t even see the ring on his finger?!”
miguel could only stand there and listening to you scold the woman. because if there’s one thing he learned being with you? is that to not meddle or interrupt.
she shakes her head rapidly, stuttering out a nervous response, “n-no! i—i—I did see it, i j-just thought—“
“oh you did see it!” you exhale a sarcastic laugh. “and what, you think it’s okay to flirt with someone else’s husband when clearly he has no interest?! you really think he’s gonna go for you, sweetheart?”
the tone of your voice is far from polite. miguel could sense that, and he squeezes your waist in attempt for you to take it easy on the girl but you only shrug it off and pay no mind to it.
the woman look like she’s about to cry by how you’re scolding her. shaking quiet a bit and embarrassed that her flirty gesture had failed to steal someone else’s man.
“i’m s-sorry… I’m—i—“
“you” your raise your finger at her face. “need to get the fuck out of my sight before i drag you by the hair and beat your ass hard that no one will ever recognize that pretty face of yours again.”
she nods quickly at that, taking her champagne flute before walking away quickly. you’re still fuming on the inside. glaring at the back of that girl’s head until she’s fully disappears.
“damn, mami” miguel lowly whistles, a dark chuckle follows after as he moves to stand in front of you. hand around your waist still attached, pulling you close to him. “you’re so sexy when you get jealous.”
jealous. you hate that word.
everyone needs to know that you don’t take it lightly when it comes to miguel. he belongs to you and vice versa. and if you have to beat a bitch up to get your point across, then so be it.
“let’s get one thing straight, miguel. I don’t get jealous” You emphasize the word as you turn your focus on Miguel, giving him a stern look. “I get territorial. they need to know that you’re my man. I see a girl trying to take over my territory, then consider her fucking finished. you got that?”
miguel can’t argue with the fact that you just turned him on just by saying that. especially when you come off as demanding like this. It’s one of the reason why he fell in love with you.
bossy. ambitious. confident. and Independent. traits that miguel loves in a woman.
he smirks, looking down at you as he clicks his tongue against his bottom teeth. “yes, ma’am” he replies with a nod.
you nod back, crossing your arms. “good.”
“and just when i thought you couldn’t get any sexier” he shakes his head, squeezing your ass before leaning down a bit to give you a kiss on your cheek. “you do”
rolling your eyes, you lightly shove his shoulder. yet you can’t help but blush at the gesture. “easy there… we’re in public.”
he cocks an eyebrow, palm not leaving your ass. “and when has that ever stopped you before, mi amor?”
you bite your lower lip softly, remembering the times when you and miguel had done it over and over outside the comfort of your home.
yeah, both of you are pretty experimental.
“bathroom in 5. don’t keep me waiting”

Bound by Darkness [Teaser]
You guys loved Spider!Jimin so here's Venom!Minjeong.
Kim Minjeong (Winter) x fem!reader
Word count: 596
Hi, hello! It's been a while but I've been very busy. I got this request short after I first posted Spider!Jimin and I thought it was very interesting sooo here's the first look to it.
____________________
The night hung heavy over the city of Seoul, casting long shadows that seemed to dance in the flickering light of the streetlamps. In the heart of the bustling metropolis, Kim Minjeong walked alone, her thoughts a tangled web of worries and fears.
Lost in her own world, Minjeong barely noticed the eerie silence that had fallen over the streets, the usual cacophony of sound replaced by an oppressive stillness that sent shivers down her spine. It was then that she saw it—a strange, pulsating light emanating from a darkened alleyway, beckoning her closer with an otherworldly allure.
Curiosity piqued, Minjeong approached cautiously, her heart pounding in her chest as she stepped into the shadows. And there, amidst the darkness, she found it—a creature unlike anything she had ever seen before.
It was black as night, its form shifting and undulating like liquid darkness given shape. And as Minjeong gazed into its glowing crimson eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine—a primal fear that threatened to consume her from within.
But as the creature drew closer, something inside Minjeong stirred—a flicker of defiance that refused to be extinguished. "Who are you?" she demanded, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hands.
The creature regarded her with a mixture of curiosity and amusement, its voice echoing in her mind like a whisper on the wind. "I am Venom," it replied, its tone dripping with malice and mischief. "And you, Kim Minjeong, are the one I have been searching for."
As the weight of its words settled over her, Minjeong felt a surge of power coursing through her veins—a power unlike anything she had ever known. And in that moment, she knew that her life would never be the same again.
----
As Minjeong stumbled through the door of her apartment, her heart pounding in her chest, she knew that nothing would ever be the same again. The encounter with Venom had left her shaken and disoriented, her mind reeling with a thousand questions and fears.
But as she tried to catch her breath and steady her trembling hands, Minjeong felt a strange sensation coursing through her veins—a sensation unlike anything she had ever experienced before. It was as if something was stirring inside her, something dark and primal, waiting to be unleashed.
With a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, Minjeong realized that she was not alone. The symbiote that had bonded with her in the alleyway was still with her, its presence looming over her like a shadow in the darkness.
"Venom, what have you done to me?" Minjeong whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. But there was no reply, only the eerie silence of the empty apartment.
As Minjeong stumbled towards the bathroom, her reflection in the mirror seemed to blur and distort before her eyes. With a gasp of horror, she watched as tendrils of blackness snaked their way across her skin, wrapping her in a suffocating embrace.
"No, this can't be happening," Minjeong cried, her voice tinged with panic. But the symbiote's hold on her was relentless, its dark influence seeping into every corner of her mind.
With a desperate surge of strength, Minjeong fought against the symbiote's control, struggling to regain her sense of self. But the more she resisted, the stronger the symbiote's grip became, threatening to consume her from within.
In that moment of desperation, Minjeong realized that she was facing a battle unlike anything she had ever known—a battle for control of her own body and soul.
___________________
A/N: So, I'll finish working on this during the week, but I wanted to share a little something with you guys.
I have ideas to keep going with Spider!Jimin and some other requests I've gotten once I finish with Venom!Minjeong. I hope you guys look forward to all of it.

SUMMARY: Kirk becomes obsessed in the dark allure of a certain groupie who is only interested in his fame. Despite his awareness that she's a perilous presence in his life, Kirk finds himself helplessly consumed by her magnetic and sinister charm. You can actually feel just how sorry he is, that he met Dirty Diana, because she's ruining his life. But she's like a drug and he can't escape, nor quit her.
READ FIRST: this story is obviously based off the song “Dirty Diana” by Michael Jackson. The song is about groupies sooo. I would suggest you listen to it while reading. I left dirty Diana nameless cause I know you guys like insert stuff!!
WARNINGS: smut, unprotected sex, oral female receiving, degradation, praise, public sex
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was gorgeous.
Dangerous. Viscous. I was obsessed.
Sure she was a groupie, but there was something about her that was just so alluring, so tempting.
She was everything I wasn't supposed to have. And yet I had to have her. She was young, maybe 23, but the way she looked at me made me think she was much older, maybe even more experienced than me.
She knew what she wanted. I could see it in her eyes, every time we locked gazes. She looked at me like she knew me, like we had been together before. It was maddening and exhilarating all at once.
She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and no one could convince me otherwise.
I knew groupies well enough by now, they were attracted to your fame, your money, your status. I knew that all she was interested in, but that didn't cease my desire.
In fact, it made me want her more. So much more.
I needed her to prove to myself that she wasn't like the others, that she wasn't going to use me. If she was, then I wouldn't care.
I'd make her mine, even just for a night.
I Leaned against the bar top. Her face drifted through the crowd, various hues flashing over her face. I’d been watching her like this for an hour now.
She seemed harmless as she talked to those around her, laughed with them, drank with them. But she teased me with her gaze every once in a while. She watched me. I watched her.
Her gaze out of greed, mine of lust.
Her toxicity was addictive.
Her beauty lethal.
She was my poison, and I wanted to consume her.
Suddenly, she was no longer among the sea of people surrounding me. I scanned the area, searching for her. As if she sensed my search, a warm hand grazed my shoulder.
My breath caught in my throat. "Hey there, rockstar," she purred into my ear. I turned, meeting her gaze.
She looked poisonous, I begged that she'd inject me with her venom. Claim me as her own.
"Something on your mind Hammett? You've been staring," she jutted her lip out, pouting flirtatiously.
I swallowed thickly, trying to come up with the right words to say to her. "You put on a good show," I remarked, flicking my brows and taking a sip from my drink.
"Speak for yourself,"
she grinned, brushing her fingertips over my cheek before taking a seat next to me.
She set her glass down, peering back over at me.
"You've been following us around quite a bit, what's your deal, sweetheart?" I flirted back. As best I could anyways.
Her brows furrowed in confusion. "My deal?" she asked with a sultry laugh. "You put on a good show." She quoted me from earlier. She was good at this.
I wondered if this was how she lured men in. This whole groupie thing wasn't as innocent as some thought. The more she spoke to me, the more my mind grew fuzzy.
She was getting to me. And damn it, she knew it. I tried my hardest not to let her affect me. To keep my head straight. But she was too beautiful. Too dangerous. How could anyone resist?
She seemed to read my thoughts as she smiled knowingly, taking another gulp from her glass.
"Maybe you can put on a good show for me?" she suggested suggestively. The idea had my cock twitching.
I was so hard, I felt like I would burst if she kept talking like that. I adjusted my jeans quickly.
"Someone's eager," I smirked at her.
The club bustled in the background, yet somehow the only thing I could hear was the echo of her voice.
"Who says I'm interested in anything you could offer?" she challenged me. A sly smile appeared on my lips. "What makes you think I'm offering?" I countered.
She stared at me intently, letting her stare linger for a long moment before she took a swig of her alcohol. "You're love-sick," she said after swallowing, patting my cheek. My cheeks went hot at the contact.
"Get better soon, lover boy." She snickered, walking off with an extra sway to her hips.
I wanted nothing more than to call her back, pull her into the shadows, and have my way with her. I needed her. No, I craved her. Like a drug.
I bolted up from my seat while I still had eyes on her, quickly following the dangerous woman.
My senses were full of lust, desire, and insatiable need for her.
All I could think about was stripping her bare, claiming her body, tasting her mouth. It was all I ever wanted. I couldn't get her out of my head. All I wanted was her.
I eventually made my way close enough to tug at her arm, dragging her back the opposite direction.
Did I want to hook up in the club bathroom? No, not exactly. But it was either that, or to keep watching her. My need was spilling over.
I wanted to feel her skin. Taste her lips. Feel her hands on me. "Change your mind lover boy?" she giggled, but didn't fight me.
In fact, she seemed pleased with herself. I wasn't going to think twice about this. There was something different about her. Something dangerous. She was bad news, but the way she was looking at me...
"Call me that again and you won't be getting what you want." I snarled, my sharp gaze stabbing at her own, fighting for dominance.
I pulled her through crowds of people, people I couldn't care less for right now. Eventually, we were just outside the bathroom doors.
I shoved it open, bringing her down the tiny hall before we were finally alone. Nobody else was in here. Thank god. Even if it was packed, that still wouldn't stop me from fucking her.
I want to go too far.
Way too far. My need for her was overpowering, my heart racing.
She was the most intoxicating drug I had ever experienced. I turned to face her, pinning her to the wall. Her dark eyes were wide and dilated, showing me her interest. I needed to make this good.
My lips wasted no time in finding hers, working at her as I peeled her promiscuous shirt off of her figure.
I reached around, undoing her bra clasp with one hand, while my other roamed her lower half, popping the button of her shorts and sliding them down her hips.
She bit my lip in response, grinding against me.
God, I loved how much she liked me. She liked that I was in a metal band, and that was it. But that didn't matter right now. I used my thumbs to push her panties down until they pooled at her feet. She kicked them away, and then, I could feast on her.
I swiftly lifted her up, spinning her around to set her down on the sink counter.
I took a step back to admire her as she spread her legs for me. She was perfect. All I wanted was her.
The only way I knew how to handle this was to get my hands on her.
"Make some noise, don't want us getting caught," I instructed her, leaning my face in between her thighs.
She moaned. And I smiled. This would do nicely. I didn't hesitate, diving in for what I really wanted.
My tongue flicked against her clit, and she gasped, clutching onto the counter, moaning loudly.
I didn't even look up to see if anyone was coming. I didn't care. All I cared about was my taste buds dancing on her delicate flower. She gripped the counter tightly, whimpering louder than I expected.
I savored the taste of her, wanting to remember it later.
"Not so confident now are we?" I taunted, nipping at her slightly, earning a twitch.
"Come on, speak up, missy," I glared up at her.
I had my hands on her thighs, and I was working my tongue like a pro. "You have a voice, use it!" I growled.
"Fuck me like you mean it. She snapped back.
I pulled my face from in between her legs, watching her with a look that might as well have been lethal. "You'll take what I give you, groupie."
She had no idea who she was dealing with. I wasn't a man you toyed with. I stood from my crouched position, forcing her to straddle my hips while still sitting propped up on the counter.
I palmed myself, letting her feel just how hard she had made me. I grabbed her hips, flipping her around until she was facing the mirror behind her.
Her ass was on full display for me as she bent over the counter.
I couldn't help but grin. God, she was perfect.
Perfect. A little too perfect. I hurried to pull my jeans down, my boxers following. My dick finally sprang free of its confines, just begging, throbbing with the need to be inside her and her only. I wrapped my arms around her waist, not being gentle as I pushed my cock deep inside her.
"Kirk!" She cried out, her head flinging forward.
"That's right, say it," I grunted, still feeling her velvety walls coating every vein on my cock.
I toyed with her clit as I began thrusting into her, forcing obscene sounds from her lips.
"Say it," I ordered again, my hands tightening around her waist. She let out a harsh scream, making me groan.
I let go, pumping into her harder, deeper, more rough. I wanted to pound into her until she felt me in every bone of her body. She fell forward onto the counter, slamming against it.
Her back arched, her body trembling from my brutal fuck. "Yes, Kirk! Yes! More!" She cried, pushing back against me. I slammed my cock deep into her again. "There you go, there's the girl I knew out there," I snickered.
Her nails dug into my skin, leaving a mark. I knew where those nails went each time she was alone. I knew what they would feel like as they dragged over my sensitive flesh. I let out an angry growl.
Not yet. "Oh, god." Her words broke me. I lost all control, falling onto the counter behind her. I fucked her hard, fast, and unapologetically. Our skin slapped together. Sweat dripped off of both our bodies.
We were a mess. Every surface of this bathroom was a mess. Everything. But I didn't care. All I could focus on was her moaning, crying, and screaming my name. It was music to my ears.
"Are you gonna cum already? You really are a slut huh?" I teased, making sure to graze her g spot a little longer.
I loved feeling her come undone under my touch. I felt powerful. Like nothing else mattered. If only that were true.
"God, Kirk!" She gasped. "Yes. I'm going to cum!"
"Good. You better not hold back with me. I'm tired of your cheap little tricks. Do it. Now." She came undone under me, bucking and shuddering around me. "Yes, yes, yes!"
Her words cut through me. I didn't think it was possible, but I got even harder.
I pumped faster, harder, letting the power of her muscular walls send me spiraling. "Yessss!" She screamed, wrenching my heart out.
I was seconds away from release. "On your knees, now!" I hurried her, pulling out and stroking myself.
She immediately spun around, her knees hurting the floor as her mouth fell open.
I set the tip of my length on her tongue allowing myself to finally cum.
I erupted, spilling my seed down her throat.
"Swallow it, You fucking slut." I barked out. The words barely left my lips before she was complying. She swallowed everything I gave her, and then some.
"Good girl," I cooed, grinning down at the helpless girl. Her snarky facade had been lifted, at least for now.
"Such a good little thing," I shook my head with a scoff, watching her swallow the last of me.
I admired her smeared beauty. Her makeup just slightly smudged, her hair rustled from the sex.
And her eyes, evil. I knew what I was getting into doing this.
She licked my sensitive tip a few times before standing up to meet my gaze.
She looked like she could eat me alive, stalk, haunt, possess me.
I'd be her victim. It didn't matter.

They had it comin'!
Tumblr media
Absolutely, we love justified venom here, don't mind me living vicariously through y/n here
Sero
"Pfft can you imagine tape of all things?"
The snickers of a clique mocking something that someone can't control were painful enough, but for them to be directed at Sero of all people?
Least to say you were livid. They always do this every time they see or hear about him, and you were down right sick of it. The scowl on your face becoming harder and harder to suppress.
Sero's heard it all before, all his life actually, but it still feels like stabs at his confidence. After all, tape doesn't directly seem heroic, and it's not like he could just reroll his quirk, no one can.
"Why be a hero of all things, he'd be better off in a scrapbooking store!" One of the preps blantently shouted, followed by the hoots and howls of their friends.
Sero huffed and dug in his pockets for his headphones to block out the comments, but you were a broken dam of rage.
"And what makes you all better?!" You stood up from your seat, fists clenched, ready for anything that might happen. "He's taking hero classes while you're struggling with your general studies! How hard is an entry level class huh?! How about we focus on the bare minimum you can accomplish before we start tearing down the people will will actually make a difference in this world?!"
You were a derailed train of rage and you planned on taking out the entire clique in one swoop. Their faces paled in shame as a couple of them stammered for a comeback or excuse for their behavior.
"Well? I'm waiting for a snarky remark about my quirk! Don't tell me you've fizzled out!" Your heart was racing as adrenaline pumped through your veins from the anticipation of what they might come up with.
The clique gathered their things and left, uncharacteristically quiet. You sank back into your chair letting out a decompressing sigh as you tried to calm your nerves.
"Damn, about time they got a taste of their own medicine" Sero chuckled a little before turning toward you
"Thank you, Y/n, I really appreciate you standing up for me like that. Who knows how many people they do that to. I bet they'll think twice before mouthing off like that again." Sero gave you a sincere smile before rubbing the back of his neck nervously, "Sooo, are you doing anything after school?"
Tokoyami
"There's no way he can be a pro hero with a quirk like that. It's too villainous."
"Especially with him barely having any control over it, can you imagine if he lost control around civilians? He's a massive liability for any agency."
You could feel frustration rising in veins, despite them whispering they were still loud enough for other people to hear, including Tokoyami.
You sneaked at glance at him to see if he heard them too, but it's always so hard to tell with him. Stoic natures are hard to read, but you can tell he was uncomfortable.
Sure everyone has a hard time mastering their quirks, some more than others, but does that really justify tearing down someone's dreams and aspirations? You started to tap your pencil on your notes, your mind split between focusing on the lesson and eavesdropping on their conversation.
"I just don't understand why there isn't a vetting process for risky quirks. One slip-up is all it takes to kill someone."
"Not to mention there's not enough heroes who can fight in the dark to begin with, and if there's an emergency at night he's either going to be useless or a hazard"
Your suspicions were confirmed, they only have rumors to base these accusations on. Of course no one focuses on how hard Tokoyami is working on his control in dark situations, just the basics of his quirk. They don't know that Dark Shadow is an extension of Tokoyami, meaning they share the same goals and morals.
"I just think he's taking up a valuable slot in the hero courses."
You turned around to face them, the two of the students shamefully avoided eye contact with you and started finding something in their notes or outside in the window.
"If that's what you really think then you're taking up highly valuable slots as the student body of U.A. I suggest you keep your focus on today's lesson than your peers' progress in classes you're not even a part in." You shift back into your seat and try to catch-up yourself to the notes on the whiteboard.
You check up on Tokoyami, he had to have caught on to what was happening right behind the two of you. His eyes were seemingly glued on the subject matter, occasionally darting back down to his notes.
You saw a faint shadow lay something on the corner of your desk.
A humble piece of paper that simply said
"Thank You, Y/n".
Denki
"It's a powerful quirk sure, but it's pointless if you can short circuit, besides he's not exactly smart to begin with."
The class discussion of quirks somehow landed on Kaminari. You could kind of understand how, given the lesson for today was about quirks and their relation to the human body.
"Hah! Maybe that's why he's dumb, he fried his brain cells!" A handful of students laughed at the joke.
Denki wasn't laughing though. His usually cheery disposition replaced with a silent one. Sure he's the class clown but that doesn't excuse blantent bullying.
"Hey, Kaminari? Do you want to swing by that one sandwich place we were talking about before?" You tried to lighten the mood and get his mind off of the pack of jerks.
"Yeah that actually sounds nice," he managed to muster up a half smile as he started gathering up his things.
"Careful Y/n! He might get too excited and electrocute you!" The laughter now becoming harder to ignore.
Denki sighs, "You know what Y/n, I think I'm just going to head back to my dorm."
Of course they would weaponize the one thing he's scared of.
You marched over to the group, making a B line for the ring leader.
"Those are some big jokes for people who are so insecure about their own futures they feel the need to tear down the greatest of our class. Really, what is wrong with all of you? If we're going to attack people for what they can't control how about we focus on your shortcomings" you jam a finger into the ring leaders chest.
"You can't even manage to pass a test without getting answers from your circus monkeys, even then you barely pass each one. Meaning collectively all of you are bottom tier students. Honestly, I'm not even sure how you're still in U.A at this point. Oh I know! I should tell our teacher about your collective cheating! That's what heroes do right?! I'm sure there's a bunch of people who could've gotten into this school but you thieves snatched that opportunity away from them. I'm sure they'll be excited to see you get transfered to another school."
You gather up your things before grabbing Denki's arm, his face in pure shock of what he just witnessed.
"C'mon Kaminari, we have to stop by the principal's office first, then we can get those sandwiches."
On your way out Denki comes to, he clicks his tongue and points finger guns at the bullies, "See ya losers! We're getting sammies!!"

(KNY) YANDERE PLATONIC! KOKUSHIBO x SISTER READER: You, Shibou. I, Kokoro (CHAPTER ELEVEN)
Previous Chapter ☆♡☆ Masterlist ☆♡☆ Next Chapter
AO3 link
CHAPTER ELEVEN: "He changed a lot after that and that this story had-"
Tumblr media
In Chinese culture, A blue dragon is meant to represent new life, Healing, Peace, Growth and prosperity. A dragon representing the strength and wisdom.
The colour blue itself, While often associated with the sky and the seas can also mean the infinity. A never ending life, A new beginning and revival.
The smoke was pungent in the air.
The dark grey mist sizzled up into the star-speckled night sky like paper lanterns on the new years eve, Floating up into the sky and sizzling out in only a second.
There were hundreds of candles scattered about the forest clearing, The waxes wicks lit up with flickered embers and they burned with the hopes and dreams inscribed onto them. Not even the cold and unforgiving winds of the city could put them out.
The festival night was in full swing, Celebration games and market stalls were eagerly set up with the hopes of filling the wallets of their owners. The sweet yet savoury smell mixing with the smoke filled the noses of the girls entrapped within the city walls.
[F/N] held an unlit candle in her hands, The tinted wax was pristine and perfect amongst the molten of the clay surrounding them and the shrine they were dedicated to. Inari, The deity of foxes and industry, The most enshrined Shinto deity, They were the deity celebrated here tonight.
She watched as another local lighted a candle, The whisping ember combusting into a bright blaze of oranges and yellows within a second.
[F/N] scoffed under her breath as she did, The way the locals lit the wicks were without care and finesse unlike how she did it back in Aomori. It could burn down the nearby shrubbery or tufts of ferns growing from the cracks in the grass, And could especially burn the set-up altar.
She loathed it, She really did. Though the festival was bound to bring out reckless behaviour and attitude, [F/N] wished that they would at least respect the reason it was all happening in the first place.
Yet the saccharine smell of ambrosia was floating in the air was sweeter than the ripest of apples, It was something that flooded into her nose like a rushing tide and placated her venom if only for a moment.
"Sooo… What 'cha gonna wish for?" Mitsuri chimed in, Breaking [F/N]'s train of thought and the mindless gaze to the kitsune statues of andesite and rock laying about. [F/N] just shrugged as she looked at the candle, Only taking a brief glance at her friend.
"Don't know, There's a lot of stuff I could ask for you know.. Money, Strength, Power.. That sort of stuff" [F/N] replied to her as she examined the ebony string spouting from the wax, The clusters of people around her praying to the shrine didn't lead her focus astray from the wick in the slightest.
The people around her placed the inscribed candles of wax down onto the several altars surrounding the enshrinement. Each carried their own wishes of fortune and fame, Love and Lust to the wide spectrum of human desirum.
A tradition carried throughout the ages, A wish to the kami for good luck in the future and it was one the two girls participated in eagerly. One to practice her religion and the other in search of a fun time.
It was a struggle as Mitsuri leaned over to spot the contemplating stone of her friends face. Mitsuri could only huff lightly at her behaviour, Leave it to [F/N] to overcomplicate a simple task.
"How about all three then? I already lit mine and I asked for like.. A bajillion different things!" Mitsuri proclaimed as she pointed to the freshly placed candle sitting atop an andesite altar.
The wax was absolutely mangled with near a 'bajillion' roughly scribbled wishes onto it, [F/N] could barely make out the words 'Love' and 'Mochi' from the jumble of words. She chuckled slightly as her eyes turned up to look at Mitsuri.
"No, No.. I need to wish for one only, I can't be greedy with Inari, 'Tsuri.." [F/N] replied shortly as her brows furrowed. Her lips pursed into a tight frown, A sharp line that felt conflicted at the simple little candle cusped within her hands.
"Maybe I shouldn't wish for anything, I've not got really anything to wish for so it's fine.. I can just light the candle and go. Besides, Shinobu is waiting for us and we still need to slay that demon." [F/N] mumbled as she lowered the candle along with her frown, Putting it down onto the altar gently.
Mitsuri hummed, Tilting her head to the side as she pouted.
"Are ya' sure? We can leave it for now and come back later when you have an idea, You know?" Mitsuri offered, Resting a hand on [F/N]'s shoulder. The comfort of her body heat transferring over to the girl.
[F/N] shrugged.
"No, It's fine.. I just wanted to quickly pay my respects to Inari before heading out to slay the demon. You know, Just a quick thanks for everything.." [F/N] mumbled, A light raising of her shoulders signalled her shying away in embarrassment as she admitted it to Mitsuri.
Mitsuri in turn squealed, Red starting to powder her cheeks.
"Aaah! Cuuute!" She exclaimed with a dopey smile stretched upon her face, Her hands raising to squish her cheeks as an outlet for energy. "I love it when you look all shy like that! It really shows how dedicated you ar-"
Mitsuri's squeal however was cut off by the sudden covering of her mouth, [F/N]'s hands moved quickly to cover it entirely as she looked around as she suddenly became aware of her surroundings.
"Shh! Not so loud, 'Tsuri! People are gonna stare at us!" [F/N] said in a hushed whisper as she frantically looked back and forth at the groups surrounding them, Paranoid about their gazes and the possible scrutiny they could come under.
Mitsuri's hands raised up and gently wrapped around [F/N]'s wrist, A featherlight touch as she lowered [F/N]'s hold from her mouth to reveal a teasing smile.
"More than they already do?" Mitsuri giggled as she tossed a lock of watermelon coloured hair behind her, The brightly candy coloured kimono she wore danced in the breeze as her eyes looked kindly into [F/N]'s own.
[F/N]'s breath near slowed to a standstill as she dropped her arms to her side in defeat.
"Well.. Yeah, That's it. But you know it's just.. Actually, Never mind. It's fine, I'll just light the candle and we can go fight the demon, Can't keep Shinobu waiting. You know how she can be" [F/N] replied as she picked up the candle and tossed it up higher into her other hand with a half-hearted smile.
She tried to focus on the stained paper colour of the wax, A way to distract herself from her surroundings and the possible onlookers to the colourful sight. Among the watered crowd the two of them were like roses in a orchid bush.
From Mitsuri's strange yet seraphic waves of watermelon to the unwilling otherworldly appearance of [F/N]'s form they were both rather different to what you could call normal. It didn't help that their uniforms were designed to emphasise their already unusual get up.
[F/N] didn't enjoy the stares she got from it, She didn't like the way they would burn into her skin like charcoal and leave brandings like scars. [F/N] recalled back to a time where she didn't really care about it, And sometimes she questioned when that had changed.
Mitsuri suddenly gasped, Smile breaching the borders of her cheeks once more.
"That's what you can wish for! The mission's success!" She cheered as her hands rested on the stiff shoulders of [F/N] and looked at her with exuberant glee.
[F/N] blinked at the sudden exclamation, But her slight grimace slowly spread into a warm smile.
"..That's a good idea, Actually. I might actually do that.." [F/N] spoke as she looked back down at the candle. Her hand reaching out for the woven basket full of toothpick-like sticks to carve the wax with.
"Ooh! Make sure to wish that we get enough time to see the festival afterwards!" Mitsuri commented as she watched [F/N] lower the sharp point of the stick onto the clay and start to write.
[F/N] rolled her eyes with a smile as she wrote down the kanji like the flow of water, The strokes going up and down and leaving the calculated trail of [F/N]'s engravings.
She did want the mission to go well, She really did. She wanted them to come out of it uninjured with the demons head impaled onto the blade of her sword. [F/N] smiled as she wrote, Sending a small prayer to Inari in her head as she did.
[F/N] lowered the pick, The residue of leftover wax attached to the thin piece of bark was scraped off onto the boulder it was set on. She extended the candle out and up to her eyeline, Examining the kanji delicately described onto the candle.
Mitsuri leaned over, Reading the writing put down.
"May our mission go well with the demon dead by our swords, May our success to be something to ride home about. And may Mitsuri catch many goldfish and eat plentiful food to satisfy her ungodly appetite. Inari Bless her soul."
Mitsuri grinned.
"Perfection, You really captured my essence in there! Now light it so we can all go do that together, 'Kay?" Mitsuri nudged on as her hands lunged from a nearby lit candle in the cluster. Snatching it into her hands and held it up parallel to [F/N]'s unlit one.
[F/N]'s eyes lowered down to the inferno of an ember burning down the candle, Looking at the half-melted wax dripping down the sides and the molten kanji engraved onto the sides. It was about love, About a girl they met in the markets.
[F/N] shook her head and tilted the top of her candle towards the burning wick of the lit one, Her own mingling with the embers for only a split second before the tip started to sizzle and spit.
She watched the small pockets of smoke and the spark glimmer on the top of the wick, She watched as it started to pick up and burn, The remnants of a tiny fire starting to show until it formed into a mature flame.
[F/N] withdrew the candle and lowered it down, Carefully placing it among a bundle of its own kind and nestling it as the newest member. Her hand dropped to the side, Leaving [F/N] to only admire the sparks.
"..And that is how you light a candle!" [F/N] mumbled softly as she watched the dance of the flame, Her smile matching the warmth of the ember perfectly as her face was illuminated by the fire.
"..Huh?" Mitsuri asked, Tilting her head to the side.
"..Erm.. Don't worry about it." [F/N] said shaking her head, She turned back to face Mitsuri with that same smile.
"Come on, Let's go meet up with Shinobu." [F/N] said as she reached a hand over and gently patted Mitsuri's back, Encouraging her to follow as [F/N] started to march off back towards the more urban city.
"Right!" Mitsuri giggled, Taking one last glance towards the field of flames before prancing over to [F/N]'s side.
They walked towards the roaring festival with a newfound confidence, Both in themselves and the success of the mission. How could they not? [F/N] had sent her wishes and her praise to Inari.
And she knew that they were watching over her, In the safe hands of her patron.
☆♡☆
[F/N] blinked once, Then twice. The grogginess in her eyes still not worn off from her slumber.
Another dream..
She groaned, She tossed and turned before her hand hit her forehead. As always her sleep was conflicted, A rising headache throbbing in the side of her head. It didn't help how tired and weary her body still felt sprawled across the futon.
Her duvet was hanging off the side of it, Barely clinging onto dear life as it only covered a leg. The pillows weren't much better, They were half-out their cases and were flung around like a wild animal had rummaged through her room and used her pillows as chew toys.
Memories came back to her like a heeling dog, Of yesterday and the dream she had woken up from only moments ago.
The confrontation with Kokushibo. [F/N] groaned slightly but the phantom of a sly smirk was graced upon her face, If she was lucky at all and her prayers were answered Upper six would be taken out of the picture.
If so it would be much easier to escape from now on. [F/N] trusted in Inari that they would take care of it, Help her along and guide her out of the bone-chilling birdcage she was currently locked in.
[F/N] huffed, An arm reaching out and locking around a pillow before pulling it closer to herself. Both of her limbs wrapped around it and she proceeded to bury her head into the comforting cold that it held.
[F/N] sighed, Even though she had slept for at least a good few hours she was still absolutely exhausted. Her body as usual was tied to the bed like an anchor weighing her down, Keeping her trapped.
She wondered how long it would take until she would bite the bullet and get up this time, It was nice in the bed, As much it could be for a worn out mattress and aged pillows. [F/N] inhaled, Taking in the chalky smell of the cushion she clung onto.
Her eyes kept opening and closing, The lasting whisper of her sleep still not erased from her mind. Vison blurry and her eyelids heavy, She strained them open and held them up long enough for her eyeline to hone in on a shape sitting atop the nightstand.
[F/N] groaned, She already knew what it was from the smell underlying the scent of the pillow. It was savoury and earthy, Pungent and enticing. By the aroma alone she could tell that it was decorated ramen.
Great, Kokushibo had been here again and left her breakfast. Routine as usual, The enticement of the aroma was usually enough to get her out of bed. The flavour of the meal being one of the only highlights in her day, As pathetic as it was.
After the first period of only nibbling on her food she had tried to eat more, She'd need her energy to escape after all. It was still difficult to eat all of it though, So she tried to focus on the flavour, The only part she really enjoyed it for.
On the odd occasion that Kokushibo didn't deliver her food, [F/N] would often lie there for minutes if not hours. There wasn't anything to encourage her out from under her covers, So the flimsy comfort of her bedding had to suffice.
Though, The weights tied to her ankles seemed much more heavy today. It didn't prevent the way she hauled her top half into a sitting position, Nor did it prevent the way she draped her legs over the side of the bed.
But the hunch in her posture was noticeable as her hand swiped the food and sat the lukewarm bowl onto her lap, The chopsticks that came with it were quickly snatched and positioned in between her fingers.
With a bit of hesitation she began to slowly push the slimy noodles into her mouth, The salty taste invading her tongue as she started to chew. It was only once she savoured the food on her tongue was when she noticed the note.
It was sat neatly under the plate, A firm outline of the bowls bottom rim was indented to it but as [F/N] picked it up it was still very much readable.
Her eyes scanned over the words.
To [F/N].
Remember, As soon as you wake up you are to eat your food then make your way to the courtyard for your training.
This time, Make sure to wear something much more flexible.
-黒死牟
[F/N] groaned, Slumping her hand down to her side as she read. She wondered if he found some sadistic pleasure in kicking her to the ground, Some disgusting joy rooting from his demonic instincts. He disguised it as training but [F/N] guessed that it was more for his own benefit.
Really, Her skills were one of the only redeeming qualities about her. Redeeming, Not the correct word, Maybe something more along the lines of being the silver in the sand. There wasn't really much to describe it as.
Though pummelling her into the ground to show the gap in their craft was more than enough for the silver to rust. It's funny, Silver isn't even chemically able to rust yet somehow he made it work.
Guess that's what you have with such overwhelming strength, It was strange not to be the strongest in the room. So far above your peers that clouds circled your head, A weird existence and one that felt so very empty.
[F/N] chewed up the rest of the noodles, The chicken and beef toppings left lying at the bottom of the bowl along with the residue of the water.
If she was going to get embarrassed again she's going to do it on a full stomach, Doesn't matter if he hits her so hard that she just pukes it up again. Maybe if she time's it right she can really piss him off.
Either way she sat down the empty wooden bowl back onto the nightstand and got up. Her legs still half-asleep wobbled as she tried to secure her footing.
[F/N] sighed. Let's get this over with.
☆♡☆
"Gah!" [F/N] yelped, Her body convulsing and the taste of iron sputtered out her mouth.
Her entire form tussled around in the air. Launched back and hurtling until she hit the bare ground with a thump, Near leaving a dent in what seemed concrete hard dirt until now. She layed there sprawled out like a ran-over deer in the road, Her wooden sword laying beside her.
"Your legwork is lacking as usual.. You need to be much faster if you want to land a hit on me.." Kokushibo drawled out. If [F/N] wasn't in pain right now, His taunting voice left her in absolute agony.
Nails on a chalkboard, A silver fork hitting the kitchen floor. Hearing both of those would of been preferable to what he told her. He sounded so smug and she so desperately wanted to punch it off his face.
[F/N] breathed heavily, Her lungs ablaze with exhaustion and exertion. She looked back up at him with a bead of cold sweat running down her brow, Eyes narrowing in distaste.
"..I'm doing it perfectly, It's not my fault you've got demonic speed.." She huffed as she turned over, Rolling onto her back so she could stare up towards the gentle embrace of the light speckling through the tree leaves above.
Kokushibo's frown tightened as he moved over a few steps, A shadow casting over [F/N]'s face as her vision was blocked by the visage of Kokushibo.
"Blaming your faults onto me will do you no good.. While you are agile in your own right, It is your attitude that is holding you back.." Kokushibo remarked, His illuminated eyes from within the darkness honed in on her.
[F/N] felt the spark rise up in her as she stared up into his uncanny eyes, The same one that had been festering inside her like a rapidly growing virus for days now. She bit her tongue. Don't say anything, It isn't worth it.
It isn't worth it.
[F/N] sighed lightly.
"..Yes, Kokushibo-sama.." She said as she hauled herself up onto her knees. The plain ebony Samue she fished out of her closet was now stained with the dirt of both the ground and her defeat, Her feet were bare for ease to move yet somehow that was barely enough to fix her faults.
Kokushibo's hand which was resting lazily upon his sword tightened around the hilt ever so slightly.
"Get up.. We are done here for today." He chuffed. Taking one more scouring look at her before turning to stride off.
[F/N] sighed, Watching as he stopped on the other side of the tree's hill before scowling at him from behind. The bastard, The only grace he had was his ability to declare her beatdowns a wrap.
"Thank Inari.." [F/N] mumbled under her breath, Near heaving as she sent her quiet as a mouse prayer to her patron. Her was strong in her chest along with her expression, Eyelids lowering with a small smile on her face.
She barely caught onto the twitch of Kokushibo's ear, Or the side look he gave her glancing over.
"..I see you're not enjoying our sessions.. Coming from your words.." Her prayers were answered yet their receiver was more demonic than divine. Kokushibo's numerous eyes pierced her from behind his bangs, Which cast a heavy shadow under his face.
[F/N]'s head jerked over as soon as the words left his rotten mouth. Her widened eyes quickly composed into a averted calm towards him, Not quite wanting to engage in conversation yet not quite wanting to engage his ire either.
"..Not really no, I don't understand why I'm doing it in the first place and it feels tedious- Kokushibo-sama. Praying to Inari is just helps me through it." [F/N] said as politely and as shortly as he could, Hoping he doesn't ask anymore questions.
He turned his head a little more to the side, Now letting [F/N] get a better view of his grimace and tight-lipped scowl. His nose was slightly scrunched, [F/N] could almost smell the distaste radiating off him.
And it played on his tongue too, She could tell once he spoke.
"Praying to such a cruel god.. I'd advise against it." It was all Kokushibo said, A line he said like he was stating the weather or stating the sky was blue. Callous and casual, That was his tone.
Yet it was one that made [F/N] freeze. Her eyes expanding and her jaw snapping shut like a mechanised doll. The palm that was half pushed into the ground suddenly tensed up, Clenching a handful of dirt and clumps of grass in-between her fingers.
It was that spark, The one akin to the burning flames of the candles in Osaka. Bundled together and burning like a forests wildfire, Their fuel being the wishes and passion of what was inscribed into it.
It was only an ember though, Only the spritz of a lighter. But it was enough, Enough for her to feel the heat.
"..Excuse me? What do you mean by that?" [F/N] said. Though she was levelled and calm the waters were certainly stirring underneath, Her eyebrows were lowered and vision locked onto him to gauge his form.
Kokushibo fully turned around to face her now, Taking a few calculated steps towards her out from behind the hill.
"…I mean to say that the gods are cruel beings, [F/N].. They are unforgiving and uncaring.. Favouring and rejecting at their will.. They do not care." Kokushibo stated. It wasn't even a debate from how he said it, It was just gospel to him as ironic as that was.
[F/N] could only stare at him blank faced. What he was spouting was heresy, It was the words of a heretic only devoted to his disdain. Who was he to insult her religion? The one that has had a place in her heart and soul for decades now.
It was nothing she would accept on the regular, Back when she was free. Then she wouldn't hesitate to speak out and call the offender out on their disrespect, Then there would be no question.
But now that she was here it was a much more complicated matter. Weighing both the mass of her faith and her act of compliance on the scale tipped from side to side, Going up and down to determine the outcome.
The scale stilled, The decision had been made.
"..Maybe some of them, I will not deny that.. But Inari has been nothing but kind to me. They are my god and my guide, I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for them so I don't see how you could say that about them." [F/N] said, Her voice raised an octave.
By now the palm with a fistful of grass had pushed her to her feet, Her stance was wide and as strong as it could be in the face of him. While it was true in Shintoism that some of the gods weren't portrayed in the brightest of lights, It wasn't like they were all evil and unforgiving beings, Especially not Inari.
Not Inari.
Kokushibo breathed air out of his nose, Coming a few strides closer to meet her stance with an overpowering one of his own. Medallion eyes piercing through her with the sharpness of a thousand of his blades.
His jaw opened, Tongue laced with venom as he spoke.
"Inari is the worst of them all, [F/N].." He started, Taking another step forward. "Inari is cruel and sadistic.. Inari takes what you hold dear and gives you nothing in return.. They are nothing but a cold and unfeeling deity." He hissed.
"It doesn't matter how much you worship them or reveire them.. It doesn't matter if you're bleeding out on their altar and screaming for their help.. They don't care." Kokushibo finalized, The acidity near burning in his mouth.
[F/N] could barely respond. She just stood there, Stone cold as if she had stared into the eyes of an accursed snake. The way he spoke about her patron matched the venom of one too. It baffled her.
One moment she was lightly thanking her deity under her breath, The next it had lit the beginnings of what seemed to be his form of a rant, His words almost alluding to something she wasn't aware of. Why it set such a bonfire in the first place confused her to no end as well.
Though, What she did know is that the spark inside her grew into the one that would light that bonfire. The one that would start to rage on inside her.
"Do not talk about Inari that way. They are nothing but kind and benevolent and the god I have dedicated my life to, They have helped me through it all.." [F/N]'s voice came out as a low hiss. Her previous subservient demeanour on the lower end of the scale now as she spat out her words.
Kokushibo huffed, A mocking and smile starting to contort his face.
"..Really.. Then pray tell where they were when you were dying out in the snow.. Where were they when you needed them the most?" He tilted his head, His question rising in volume as he spoke more.
[F/N] gawked and opened her mouth.
"I-"
"-You worshiped them back when you were in your first life.. You adored them just as you do now.. Yet they let you wither away in a blizzard with nothing in return.. Though I don't suppose that has changed now, Has it?" Kokushibo cut in, Leaving her no time to respond.
[F/N]'s mouth snapped shut yet the fire swirling around in her eyes kept burning on him. The absolute anger and rage beginning to kick up inside of her was overflowing, It made her fingers curl and her teeth start to grind, Wanting to take a sword and drive it through his neck.
She opened her mouth once again, Ready to rebut him with everything she had.
But as she went to speak, She had found that nothing came out.
[F/N]'s mind was blank, As a devoted worshiper she should have mountains to say about Inari's good grace and their generosity to give, It was only natural.
But there were no words on her tongue, No memory she could pinpoint that would prove as her saving evidence.
A bead of sweat ran down the side of her head.
"You have nothing.. Don't you?" Kokushibo queried as he surveyed her clocked out form. The still shoulders to the frozen face, He could see it all even without transparent world. His eyes concentrating onto her.
"You.. That is.." [F/N] stammered. Her mind searching for the proper words, Something to say, Anything at all. She gulped, Swallowing down both her saliva and her doubt.
The bead of sweat dropped, Hitting the dried out floor.
"I don't have to tell anything to you" [F/N] finalised as she swayed her head to the side and turned away from him. "You wouldn't understand, A demon especially wouldn't understand the grace of a god."
Kokushibo didn't say anything as he watched her stride away. It was swift and fast paced, Almost as if she wanted to get away from him as quickly as she could as she headed towards the courtyard doors.
He hummed as he watched her go. In hindsight Kokushibo figured that he shouldn't of brought it up, He didn't know what came out of him in that moment. Perhaps it was the way she still unknowingly worshipped them after everything that they did to her.
The gods, They were horrible beings, To him anyways. Whatever admiration or faith he had towards them died when she did so long ago, If they let him get to her on time or didn't put her in that situation in the first place.
The only good they had ever done was bring her back, The only grace they held was her reincarnation. What he had done to deserve it in the first place he didn't know, The only thing he did was their reunion.
Either way it didn't change his opinion on them, They did one good thing out of a thousand atrocities. His mind was steel and his opinions adamant.
He huffed at the thought of them, Taking one last look at the courtyard scenery before disappearing into the air. Deciding that she needed to cool down from her anger and off to find a meal.
☆♡☆
The creaking of floorboards rung out inside the hallway, The reverberations causing the surrounding spiders and invertebrates to scuttle away from the force of it.
[F/N] was angry, She was offended. In all her life she had never heard such enraging words, Such vile insults to her patron and deity, The one she had been worshipping for so long.
Of course, Religion was always the low hanging fruit for younger kids and ignorant older folk to jab at. That, She could handle. She'd ignore it most of the time, Brush it off her shoulder like it was nothing and move on with her life.
It was just an unfortunate part of being in a religious doctrine, It wasn't a good nor was it an acceptable thing by any means but it was a part of a religious woman's life. She was use to it, She could deal with it.
But this? This was heresy.
Kokushibo spoke nothing but hatred and loathing, Nothing but acidity and venom. Not from any ignorance or youthful inexperience but it was a genuine distaste for Shintoism and that was something [F/N] just couldn't stand.
She didn't know why when it came from him specifically, His insults and his ire, Was what really ticked her off. [F/N] hated it, Hated the disrespect to her religion and by proxy herself. Perhaps it was the all-knowing look he gave her, Or it could've just been him himself as a demonic prescence defying the gods.
His expression burned into her, Stoked the flames of whatever was already festering inside her like a parasite. Her teeth gritted and the veins on the side of her hand started to swell up from how hard she was clenching it.
[F/N] screamed.
It was over in a moment. Bits of wood and lumber exploded out from the destroyed pillar, A hollering reverberation ran throughout the entire building as soon as [F/N]'s fist made impact with it.
[F/N] whined as she saw her fist stuck in the crater left in the pillar. Bits of the wood lodged into her skin, Digging into her and drawing trickles of blood that flowed down her fist.
She was breathing heavily, Sweat starting to dampen her brow. Her scrunched up examined her hands wound, Which started to sharply ache at her nerves and throb painfully.
[F/N] pulled it out with a tug. Letting it fall to the side like the blood droplets falling to the floor. She stood there for a few minutes, The isolating silence flooding in and invading her, Making her feel so small within the expansive halls.
[F/N] was left to her thoughts as the only noise going through her head. Her hand twitched from the pain, But she ignored it in favour of her own inner monologue.
That bastard, How she wished that it was him that she punched. How she envisioned his face beaten and bloody instead of her own hand. Though it hurt and ached, She didn't feel angry anymore, Instead only the aftertaste.
She exhaled, Letting the air turn into vapour in the cold draft.
What if it wasn't him that made her so angry though?
What if it was something else. She had ignored it so well before but then she wasn't in such a place she was. The cold chill running down her spine, The dusty floors and the near decayed foundations all contributed to her raging mood.
As she imagined his visage in her mind, She didn't feel anymore rage and disgust.
[F/N]'s breath hitched in her throat, Eyes suddenly snapping out of whatever train of thought she was enthralled in.
A dark shadow cast over from behind her, A presence becoming aware within her mind in a single moment.
Her head snapped around, Shoulders raising in guard as her body jerked round. Though gratefully her eyes softened from relief once she saw who it was.
"Akaza." [F/N] greeted normally, Well, As normally as she could with a bleeding fist and her clothing drenched in her own sweat. She looked at the demon, Staring into his own kanji-engraved eyes, All of which spoke of intermediate alarm.
"I smelt blood, What the hell happened?!" Akaza demanded as he quickly scanned over her body. His teeth were bared to reveal his fangs and his fists were clenched as if he was ready for a fight.
[F/N] sighed, Drooping her head down to ponder at her bare feet.
"Nothing, I'm not injured if that's what you're asking." She said, Shrugging him off. Her curled up fist was hidden behind her back, Of which was pressed up against the broken pillar to disguise the crater.
Akaza huffed, His nose scrunching up in disgust as his eyes locked onto the limb pushed behind her. In an instant, He threw his arm out and grabbed her shoulder, Making [F/N] yelp in surprise.
"H-Hey! The hell are you doing?!" She exclaimed as Akaza yanked out her hidden arm, Only to reveal the injuries and blood coating her knuckles like dripping paint. It was already swollen, The splinters still lodged within her flesh.
"Not injured?" Akaza drawled as he looked down at her knuckles, Examining the brushes and feeling the uncontrolled twitches and jerks of her hand within his hold. [F/N] wanted to argue back but with the evidence literally in the palm of his hands it was impossible to do so.
[F/N] yanked it away from him, Letting it swash to her side.
"..Fine, I punched a hole into the wall, See?" [F/N] admitted agitatedly as she stepped aside to display the crater. "I got a bit carried away and needed to let out some frustration. Don't worry, You haven't lost your ticket to number one yet."
Akaza rolled his eyes at her words and groaned.
"Good, I'd rather not risk it" Akaza said. [F/N]'s non-injured hand moved to massage her wrist in a half-successful attempt to soothe her pain as she looked at him, Scrutinizing him up and down while she did.
"Since you're here, Kokushibo's gone I assume?" [F/N] asked. Akaza nodded.
"Yeah, Came as soon as I sensed him leaving." He replied in kind. [F/N] sighed. At least he was out of here, Akaza was someone she could tolerate and Kokushibo was someone she couldn't. She could even say she enjoyed his company at times, Rarely, But she could.
"Great to hear that you're bright and early, Almost as if you like spending time with me." [F/N] drawled sarcastically as she looked back up at him, A teasing glint in her eyes that made Akaza scoff.
"Not in the slightest, I'm only here because I need to kill upper one." Akaza corrected for the hundredth time in the row, All shown in the way his voice just excreted exhaustion and annoyance.
[F/N]'s eyes widened however, That glint in here eyes flickering.
"Ah right! That reminds me!" [F/N] exclaimed as she snapped her fingers, His words sparking a sudden recollection inside of her. A smile blooming on her face like the lotuses in the water outside.
"Hm?" Akaza hummed curiously.
"I fixed our upper six problem, We won't need to worry about him anymore." [F/N] answered with her teeth bare in a grin. She stepped a few feet closer to him, The ghost of excitement running in her voice.
Akaza's eyes expanded.
"What?!" He exclaimed, Genuinely shocked.
"I took care of him. I confronted Kokushibo about where I was and I told him Upper six directed me to where the exit was. He won't be around anymore to impede my escape, Kokushibo will handle it." [F/N] explained, Mildly proud of herself.
Akaza blinked a few times, Almost as if he was baffled about what was in front of him. She took Upper six out of the picture? He was nearly impressed. Knowing Kokushibo he wouldn't hesitate to kill him for such insubordination, Especially against him himself.
Thank god. That little brat was barely strong enough for the upperrank's, Let alone the twelve moons in the first place. Besides, There was no one around to snitch on them now. She had skewered the rat, Taken him out and she didn't even need to lift a finger.
"…That's.. That's great." Was all Akaza could say yet his surprise was still evident in his tone, A tone that made [F/N]'s grin sharpen like knives as she looked at him. It was an expression that looked odd on her, Foreign, Like her own face wasn't accustomed to it.
"Of course it is, We'll be free to continue with the bridge construction now without anything to avoid." [F/N] said. She truly did look like the cat who caught the mouse, The moth on the lightbulb or the tiger in the tree.
It was strange. Akaza felt like he was in unfamiliar waters, Somehow out of practice with her mood. He stared at her for a moment or two, One that dragged out before snapping out of it and opening his mouth.
"…Yeah, Good to know. On topic the topic of that, The real reason I came here early is because I brought what you wanted or whatever." Akaza said as his eyes shifted to his pockets, His hands followed suits and shoved themselves into them.
[F/N] let out a small 'Oh' as she watched him rummage around in his pockets for what he had in there, All before he scavenged out a turn of rope and a cluster of spare nails in his coarse hands.
"Here you go, Enjoy whatever you're gonna do with it." Akaza shrugged as he dumped them into [F/N]'s arms, Of which looked down at the pile now stacking in her hold.
Her eyes ran over them, Scouring and examining every molecule of the acquired goods before her lip quirked. Brows furrowing in confusion.
"..This.. This isn't enough." [F/N] said as she looked down at the barely enough rope, Which looked to be cut off halfway and the nails that were few and far between. The rope was near laughably too small and the nails were half rusted and low quality.
Akaza huffed, Shaking his head.
"I told you, The biwa demon knows everything that comes in and out. If I brought anything more in she would've noticed and gotten suspicious." Akaza explained like he was talking to a small child.
[F/N] looked at him, Her face as blank as untouched paper in a pile. She blinked once, Before her lips tightly pursed and a vein swelling out from the side of her forehead.
"But.. But what the hell am I suppose to do with this..?! It's not even enough to get to the first arch" [F/N] exclaimed as her grip on the items grew tighter, Her knuckles popping out from the force as she looked at him.
Akaza scoffed, Looking her up and down.
"I don't know, Get creative? I said I can't bring you anything more, Alright?" Akaza spelt it out for her but she wasn't listening. She took a few steps towards him, Her noise pointing at his figure.
"Akaza.. I can't do shit with this, Inari knows you might as well've brought me string and thumbtacks because this is bloody useless! I don't even have any tools for the nails." [F/N] hissed as she pushed her face near his, Shoulders raised as if she was intimidating a bear.
The injured hand that was clutching the rope so tight started to bleed more profusely, Blood trickling out the splinter's punctures in ounces but [F/N] never felt it. That spark, That raging spark was with her once more.
It was the bonfire in the winters night, It was the storm within the clouds of her hazy mind as she thoughtlessly berated him. Her teeth were bared and she was near foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.
Akaza stared back at her, This reaction was completely out of the blue. Though she had brought buckets of her own attitude to any of their reactions, Back then it was just sarcasm or annoyance.
But this? This was anger. It was completely unwarranted too, Her reaction did not fit the situation by any means and it made Akaza feel completely out of his own skillset. Though by instinct he raised his shoulders in return, Going to intimidate her right back.
"Well how about you do something about it yourself? How about you scavenge materials of your own instead of bitching about it to me. I don't know why you're so goddamn angry but fucking calm the hell down, You hear?" Akaza hissed, Near spitting in her face as his eyes locked onto hers.
[F/N]'s teeth bared wider, The veins on the side of her forehead starting to burn and pop out of place as she opened her mouth to yell at him.
But she stopped.
[F/N] looked at him, Suddenly freezing in place. Her eyes that held so much anger fell down, Softening to that of their original state. Her shoulders drooped down with her as she slowly stepped away from him.
[F/N] looked back up at him, Looking slightly puzzled.
"I.. I'm sorry. I don't know why I blew up at you there, I haven't really been myself lately.." [F/N] sighed as she pinched her brow with her healthy hand. She breathed in and out, The inordinate anger leaving her body with every rise and fall of her chest.
Akaza blinked. Looking back at her as his own shoulders fell, Yet his stone hard look stayed on him.
"Whatever, Just get it in check." Akaza huffed as he took a few steps away from her, Clenched hands falling to the side.
[F/N] whined as her hand jerked once more. By now, Droplets of blood dripped down onto the cold wooden floorboards and had created a noticeable mess. [F/N] brought her hand up to her lips, Pressing it against them she tasted the pungent iron.
Akaza's eyelids narrowed in on her hand. His lip quirked down at it before he sighed, Tossing his head to the side.
"Come on, We need to clean this up so Kokushibo doesn't think someone injured you." Akaza said, Turning away before walking down the hall. Beckoning her only once with a signalling of his head.
[F/N] blinked, Slightly surprised by him.
"Alright then.." She said. [F/N] took once last look at the blood puddling on the ground before stuffing the rope and nails into a pouch in her haori, Before stumbling on to follow him. Trailing behind him with an aching hand and a lingering thought on her mind about their interaction.
She didn't know why she had such an outburst, Why she had such an explosion of emotion and primal rage at one of the thousands of inconveniences she had faced before. She sighed as she followed Akaza along.
[F/N] would need to find out later.
☆♡☆
"Ah-! Easy there! Can't you go any slower?"
"Shut it, I'm trying to do it as painlessly as I can."
"Yeah- Obviously!" [F/N] hissed as Akaza pulled out another splinter from her bloody hand. Her teeth were bared and she sucked in a sharp breath of air with every pluck, Eyes glaring daggers into Akaza.
She sat perched upon the dusty kitchen counter, An old med kit was scattered across it with several needles and bandages overflowing from inside the small bamboo tub. It was obviously opened with very little care or finesse.
The kitchen, One of the rooms [F/N] never frequented often due to the very poor utilization of what a kitchen was suppose to do. It was a room that was longer than it was wide with cupboards lining the back wall, All filled with yarns of cobwebs and a myriad of insects [F/N] couldn't identify.
The grills that were sat below the cupboards above were out of use for a very long time, A glove of dust could appear on your hand if you chose to brush it against the top of it. Both that and the old rusty pans and pots in the cabinets were completely unusable.
There was no food here, Nothing edible anyways. Though the med kit was luckily found under one of the grills, Akaza had to shoo away the spiders who had made their home inside it but it was still usable.
"Ah.. Ah fuck!" And it was made obvious by [F/N]'s winces and whines of pain. It was funny, For a woman who had faced demons bigger than her, Took cuts and stabs to her gut with no reaction she sure did feel a lot of pain.
"Oh calm down, That was the last of it." Akaza exclaimed as he held up the tweezers in his hand, The splinter squeezed tightly in-between the two grips before being tossed away onto the floor by Akaza.
[F/N] groaned, Her free hand moving to her wrist to massage it as Akaza moved over to the splayed out med kit and started to rummage through it again. She sighed, The pain subsiding by only by a pitch.
She glanced over to Akaza as he pulled out a new myriad of items.
[F/N] sighed as she waited for him to finish. The pain was more bearable now, It was down to the levels she could tolerate.
Then, Why did she still feel an ache?
Though the majority of all her pain was gone there was still an undeniable thump in her chest, One that felt like a fist was squeezing her heart for all the bloody juices inside. [F/N] pushed her free hand onto her chest and pressed down, Not knowing why but knowing it wouldn't stop the ache.
It was sore, But didn't hurt her nerves. It was painful, But there was no visible injury to be found. It was strange to say the least.
She barely heard the words that were being spoken to her, Her brows only furrowing before snapping back into the current situation.
"Hey! Did you hear me or not, Give me your damn hand." Akaza barked, His own hand was presented and beckoning [F/N] to place hers in his. Akaza held a damp cloth in his other, His eyes waiting impatiently for her.
[F/N] blinked.
"Oh.. Right, Sorry.." She mumbled as she lain her hand down onto his palm. Akaza took no time in dabbing down the cloth onto her knuckles, Which instantly erupted a new kind of burning agony.
"Ah- Fuck!" [F/N] hissed as her body tensed up. The damp cloth, Which was now revealed to be drenched in some kind of alcohol was painful to the wounds splattered on her hand.
Akaza rolled his eyes and mumbled something about humans being weak under his breath. He shook his head and continued to clean and disinfect her wounds with an impatient streak in his movements.
[F/N] sighed, Trying to relax her shoulders and get use to the burning of the liquor.
"..Hey Akaza, Do you believe in a god?"
Akaza's movements stopped mid swipe. Of what focused attitude had enthralled and captured his attention before was now broken. His eyes darted up to meet [F/N], Whose head was swayed to the side and her gaze far off yonder.
"Where the hell did that come from?" Akaza said as the cloth pressing against her knuckles was suddenly withdrawn as tossed aside onto the counter of which she sat. [F/N] bit the inside of her lip, Thinking to herself for a moment.
"I don't know, I just noticed you had prayer beads around your ankles and thought I'd ask." [F/N] replied mindlessly as her entire self seemed to be somewhere else entirely. She seemed out of it entirely, Making Akaza raise an eyebrow.
He shrugged before continuing to patch up her wounds.
"Stuff from my human life, Might of been a Buddhist. I don't know." He said quickly. [F/N] took a glance to look back at him, Seeing his face dropped down from her higher point and focused right back onto cleaning her wounds.
[F/N]'s closed lips tightened and pursed together into a slight frown. "What about now? Do you still believe in Buddhism?" She asked again as she watched Akaza's form for any jerks or freezes. Akaza only shrugged as he continued his work.
"Don't know, Don't care. Religion isn't something I think about often." Akaza replied. He finished disinfecting her wounds, The sickly iron that was coating her hands before was now gone and the wounds freshly clean.
[F/N] nodded slowly as Akaza went to shuffle around in the med kit once more, Taking in his words.
"Why?" Akaza asked as he pulled out a roll of white bandages, Completely fresh and soft within the grip of the demon. [F/N] turned to look at him, Thinking over her words before speaking.
"I'm just a bit confused is all. I'm a Shintoist, I use to be a shrine maiden before this. I use to be really connected to my patron, Inari, But right now I just feel a bit out of it right now. It's nothing, Really." She commented absentmindedly.
Akaza's eyebrows knitted together as she spoke, He felt like there was a bigger rabbit hole than was being presented. He felt like there was more to dig through, Something underneath but whether he would chase it he didn't know.
So he stopped talking and opened his mouth, Letting that lead him along.
"You're in a literal shrine right now, I don't see how you could be disconnected from your religion" Akaza said as he lightly tugged [F/N]'s hand back into his grasp and started to bandage up her knuckles.
[F/N] sighed.
"..You probably don't know this, But this place is a replica of where I lived beforehand. The other one was better, It was well-kept and not decaying like this one.." She mumbled as she looked at the rotten wood and the spiders running along the side-lines.
"This place has been here for centuries, That's literally impossible." Akaza replied as he rolled the bandages.
"Yeah, I said that too, Akaza." [F/N] said in turn "But as I also said it's confusing, The other one was bigger too after it was fashioned into the kakushi base. It had another floor and much more rooms, It's just a bit of a downgrade.." [F/N] said.
She recalled the warmth of the rooms or the lively chatter which would be found in the halls, All the activities and the singing of crows from the aviary. The smell of fresh food that would come from the kitchen, Now turned into sawdust and sulphur.
Akaza's eyes however widened in recognition.
"..The Kakushi Base?" He questioned, Amber eyes like broken glass now staring up into her own irises. [F/N] blinked, Realising what she had said before she sighed.
"Yeah, It was a base of operations for the slayers. Kokushibo had attacked us a few weeks ago- No, Months now at this point. He had tried to kill me but.. You know" [F/N] said as she pointed down to the bandages around her mid-section, Still there and nearly healed entirely.
Akaza stared at her for a few minutes. His face going blank and something inside his head started to whirr, It started hit and turn before suddenly it clicked.
"Oh goddamnit, No fucking way.." Akaza said. The bandages in his hand were suddenly slammed down onto the kitchen counter, Akaza stepping a good few feet away from her. Looking at her like she had a dozen heads.
[F/N] looked back at him, Thinking for a second before it hit her.
"You heard about it?" She asked tiredly as she picked up the bandages beside her and tore them from the roll, Tying it around her knuckles into a knot and finishing her first aid.
Akaza however just gawked at her, No, Not at her, It was at her haori. The realisation of who this was from the patterns of dragons and cerulean blues painting the fabric, The one that was shown in his masters death warrant for them.
It was the same haori they both wore. Akaza could've just shrugged it off by similar patterns or they just happened to have the same kind, But by the way she reacted? No, She was aware.
[F/N] in turn just sighed and shook her head.
"Yes, I am the one who killed a thousand demons. Yes, I fought Kokushibo back at the real shrine. Any more questions?" [F/N] exasperated as she placed the bandage roll beside her and folded her arms, Looking at him prepared.
Akaza blinked. Back when he had gotten the call from his master to kill this slayer, The flash of who he was. The strong stature and the haori of blue flowing in the rushing winds as he slayed another one of his kind.
The mask, The kitsune mask with such electrifying eyes stared into the view of the vision with such power. He held such otherworldly grace even when taking a life, Akaza was absolutely thrilled.
A strong opponent, A truly strong opponent. As soon as Akaza was delivered the vision he was ecstatic, Finally someone he could battle against to test his own prowess in fighting. He couldn't wait to meet him, Which is why Akaza went straight out to find him.
Akaza had looked for ages, He had went to several towns and villages where the Hashira had been spotted in search of him. He had looked for ages, Scoured and sought after him for months but in the end coming up empty.
But now as that man now woman was sitting atop the kitchen counter infront of him, Hand injured and bandaged by Akaza himself, Akaza had no idea what to do.
"..I don't really know how you feel about this, But if you-"
"How the hell are you him?! How can someone like you kill one thousand demons, You don't even look like a man. How is that possible?!" Akaza yelled as he stepped a heavy foot closer to her, Of what force caused a minor tremor.
[F/N]'s brows furrowed, But she ultimately stayed calm. "Akaza, Look. It's complicated, I can explain it to you if you want alright? But I promise it's not that big of a thing" [F/N] said as she tried to placate his sudden detest towards her. It was surprising, She didn't expect him to react this way at all.
But as she looked at him, Seen his stance and raised shoulders and the way his wolfing eyes looked at her like an injured doe. [F/N] could tell he was enraged.
But why?
"Being the Hashira that killed one thousand demons? A strong swordsman turning out to be just some throwaway shrine-maiden? Not such a big thing.. Bull. Shit." Akaza chided as his eyes locked onto her with a burning fire.
"M-Mind your manners, Akaza-dono-!"
Both Akaza and [F/N] froze.
A voice called out from behind him, A shrill, pubescent tone.
Akaza's body jerked around in a near second, His raised shoulders which were held in anger were now on guard as his eyes met that of the intruder. [F/N] also peered round behind Akaza, Her eyes widening on the unfamiliar figure.
Kaigaku stood within the doorframe. He was hunched over slightly with a nervous grin plastered all over his face, His entire figure was reminiscent of some kind of rodent or hamster on their hind legs.
"I thought you got rid of him." Akaza hissed lowly under his breath, Not taking his eyes off Kaigaku.
"I thought I did." [F/N] hissed back as she recognised the kanji in his eyes.
Kaigaku's nervous grin widened slightly, His posture straightening out as he took a few steps towards the pair. His fingers were fidgety as he moved, [F/N] in turn finally hopped down from the kitchen counter and backed up against it besides Akaza.
"I- I mean I'm sorry to interrupt you, [F/N]-sama. Akaza-dono.." Kaigaku said, Only adding Akaza's name on as an afterthought and keeping his eyes upon [F/N]. Taking a few steps closer, [F/N] pushed herself further against the counter.
"Ah, right-! I should probably introduce myself, I'm sorry. Erm-.." Kaigaku dusted off his old slayer uniform by sticking out a clawed hand towards [F/N].
"M-My name is Kaigaku, I am upper rank six. I-It's great to meet you, Kokushibo-dono has spoke a lot about you-!" Kaigaku said, Lightly bowing down in front of her and ignoring Akaza entirely.
[F/N] stood there, Looking down at Kaigaku for the first time. She had only seen him in black and blue flashes before, Nothing else but seeing him in corporeal form? It wasn't even why she was surprised no, It was why he was here in the first place.
[F/N], She thought he would be dead. Kokushibo, From what little [F/N] knew about him she knew that he would most likely kill him or at least get rid of him. [F/N] thought, She really did.
Her hands grew clammy as she looked down at his taloned hands, Nails shining in the dim kitchen light, Her eyes widened and petrified at the sight of him.
Inari, I thought you'd take care of this..
Kaigaku, Who stood there for a good few seconds hesitantly withdrew his hand after realising she wasn't gonna take it. He raised back up, Fiddling with his hands skittishly as he smiled at her.
"I see.. Well that's fine then! I.. I hope we'll get along!" Kaigaku cheered lowly as his foot tapped rhythmically on the wooden floorboards, Closing his mouth and leaving all three of them in awkward silence.
Akaza on the other hand stood on guard, His teeth bared in preparation of a fight. [F/N] wouldn't lie about getting him out of the picture so Kokushibo must've let him go somehow, Especially if he was here right now. Why? He didn't know.
But as he looked at Kaigaku's new demeanour, His cheery and overly-friendly persona that he wore like a glove. Akaza knew exactly what he was doing.
He was sucking up to [F/N].
"I-I cleaned up the mess you made in the hallway, By the way!" Kaigaku explained as he moved even closer to her. [F/N] seethed through her teeth, Kaigaku becoming way too close for comfort.
"I.. I- Thanks but I-"
"How the hell are you here, Fucking leave you little brat." Akaza interrupted, Not giving [F/N] time to speak. His hands started to ball up into fists, Creating veins. Kaigaku, Only acknowledging his presence now, Peered over to him with the same attitude he gave [F/N].
"Akaza-dono.. I don't think that language is very appropriate.. W-We're all friends here right?" Kaigaku stuttered as he tilted his head towards Akaza, A sharp glint in his ebony eyes revealed everything Akaza needed to know.
But he barely focused on it as he pushed Kaigaku aside away from [F/N].
"Answer me. What the hell are you doing here?" Akaza spat at him as he pushed his face up into Kaigaku's, His taller stature straightened in an attempt to intimidate. The glint grew brighter, More malicious as it became between the two.
"Let me tell you then." Kaigaku hissed.
☆♡☆
"Wait no- Ack-!" Kaigaku hissed as he coughed up blood.
His body was launch, Tossing and turning in the air for only a minute before his back slammed against the nearby wall. Cuts of varying sizes littered his body, Barely regenerating under his ruined uniform.
Kaigaku slid down onto the ground, His body twitching and jerking while drenched in his own blood. A shadow was cast upon the wall as heavy footsteps slowly stalked towards him, Thumping loudly with every lowering of his foot.
"Stay quiet.. I don't want to hear your grovelling.. " Kokushibo spat as he looked down at his Tsuguko lying on the ground. His sword was drawn and held so tightly in his hand that his knuckles turned white.
All six of his eyes were locked onto him, Anger coursing through every one of his swollen veins as he looked at the young boy with such malice and disgust. He licked his lips like a lion about to strike the gazelle, His fingers itching to strike Kaigaku down.
Kaigaku's head raised weakly and looked up at his master, Several teeth were missing from his mouth and blood was rapidly flowing out of it. He bit back the tears, Fear enveloping his entire being.
"M-Master, Please wait-! I-It wasn't me.. It was-"
"I told you to stay quiet, Boy.."
A sharp kick to his stomach interrupted his speech. Kaigaku screamed as more blood shot out from his mouth and splattered across the ground. His stomach was on fire, Like all of his intestines were rearranged within his body.
Kaigaku's head fell right back onto the dirty flooring of the abandoned house they were in, His body was near mangled at this point. He had been called by Kokushibo to meet him here, On arrival he had been ambushed by the man.
Kokushibo stalked closer towards him, Getting down onto his knees and looming over the boy. Casting a heavy shadow over him as his taloned hand reached out towards him, Golden eyes gleaming with rage.
Kokushibo's hand firmly gripped Kaigaku by the scalp, His claws digging into the boys raven coloured locks and yanking his head up to meet him. Forcing his eyes to meet his masters own, Fire burning into him.
"You are lucky that I have chosen to spare you.. The only reason you are is because I know you didn't try approach her.. You wouldn't dare" Kokushibo told him, His grip on Kaigaku's scalp tightening making him whine out in pain.
"But.. You did let her spot you.. I told you to remain unseen, Did I not?" Kokushibo tilted his head as he watched Kaigaku's bloody and beaten body squirm within his grasp. He looked down almost sadistically, Almost enjoying his pain.
"I suppose it doesn't matter now.. However." Kokushibo commented as his hold on Kaigaku's hair was let go, Kaigaku falling back down onto the floor with a thump and a yelp as he lay there writhing.
Kokushibo got up from his kneeling position, Sheathing his sword into it's hilt.
"Though.. Let me tell you one thing." Kokushibo said as he turned back to look at Kaigaku, The cold night's air drying up the blood quickly upon both their bodies.
"You treat my sister with respect.. One day she will be your superior, And you will need to answer to her.. You will treat her as you treat me, With fear and submission." Kokushibo hissed as he turned back away and started to walk off, Leaving Kaigaku to suffer.
☆♡☆
Akaza let go of Kaigaku, Tossing him to the side like an unwanted children's toy.
"You disgusting brat.." Akaza hissed as he stared knives into the boy who stumbled back into the kitchen wall. Akaza backed off, Though his glare stood strong as he marched away, Swinging the door open and marching away.
It was slammed shut, The force so strong that it shook the foundations of the building. It left the two of them alone, [F/N] glancing nervously at Kaigaku and Kaigaku looking back at her with some faux admiration.
"[F-[F/N]-sama! I- Erm.. I'm so sorry for him.." Kaigaku said as he shuffled towards her with his hands clasped. [F/N], Now that she was up close to him could sense his soul aura much more pungently now. It was vile, It was rotten. It was an apple that was moulding from the inside out, His persona that he put on was completely fake and [F/N] could tell that from the feel of his aura alone.
[F/N] sucked in a deep breath through her nose.
"Yeah.. Um, It's fine.." [F/N] replied quickly as she backed away towards the doorway, Looking at him like he would pounce any second now. She moved slowly, Eyeing him down with a furrowed brow and bared teeth, Trying to mimic what Akaza did.
"Oh.. W-Where are you going?" Kaigaku said, Perking up as he noticed her movements to leave. [F/N] blinked once, Shaking her head before answering him.
"I.. I need to go do some stuff." [F/N] said quickly as her movements picked up, Her body now turning around as she started to make her way towards the door much more swiftly. Only taking a small glance back at him.
Kaigaku blinked, Before slowly nodding.
"Oh.. Okay then, H-Have fun, [F/N]-sama!" Kaigaku called out to her as he watched her stumble out of the kitchen in quick succession. [F/N] didn't dare look back after that, Only focusing on getting out of there.
☆♡☆
[F/N] ran.
As soon as [F/N] was out of his line of sight she bolted. She didn't care, She ran down the hallways and didn't dare to look back to see if he was following her at all. Not stopping for a second.
Her lungs burned, It felt as if she was breathing in fire with every breath. Every succession of her feet in front of her made her want to collapse onto the cold wooden floorings and never get back up.
But she continued onwards. [F/N] didn't know where she was going or how long she was going to run for, That didn't matter. It was a matter of escape is what it was. From what she had no clue either.
Why he was here, Upper six. Why it set her into a frenzy confused her, It was all confusing, Everything was. He was suppose to be out of her way entirely, His death was suppose to lighten her load.
But he was here, Kokushibo had let him go for some unknown reason.
Inari, You were suppose to take care of this, You're suppose to take care of me.
[F/N]'s thoughts ran miles per hour along with her legs, Tears speckled at her eyes but didn't dare to fall. Her eyes blinked, Her feet burned. She took in a sharp intake of oxygen, But it wasn't enough and it hurt too.
[F/N]'s sprint stuttered into a run, Then a jog then walk. All until she collapsed against one of the shrines doors in exhaustion.
Her body lain against it, Her lungs rising up and down and up and down. Over and over again to regain her lost stamina. She sighed, Her skin was bathed in sweat and it rolled down her in near buckets.
Things were suppose to go better, She was suppose to get out of here. She had faith that it was going to happen, But now she had no idea at all what she felt.
[F/N]'s hand which was placed against the wooden door lightly trailed along the timber, Her hand feeling the dips and the curves in the architecture until it hit a jut. [F/N] blinked, Taking one more deep breath in before pushing herself to her feet.
It was a sign that she felt, A small bump in the wood with carved out letters. [F/N] read it, Recognition flashing in her eyes.
The Haiden.
[F/N] stared at it for a few minutes, Seemingly breathless as she read the words over and over again like a sutra.
Out of all her time here she hadn't been to the haiden, She had passed it, Passed this room every now and then but never read the sign. Never took a glance towards the door or gain an interest to the contents inside.
But now? It was enticing, Something drawing her eyes to the doorknob. She looked down at it, Nervous as she grimaced.
[F/N]'s fingers twitched, Her hand slowly raising before resting it upon the silver of the doorknob. Her hand gripped onto it, Feeling the cold silver on her skin as she started to turn it.
The door opened with a squeak, One much louder than [F/N] was anticipating and making her wince. Though she didn't stop as she let the door swing open on its own, Letting the dark void of the room inside become visible to her.
[F/N] was hesitant, Looking at the light-devoid room with unfamiliarity before she took a step in slowly.
She walked into the haiden, Looking around at the shadow infested room with a distraught nostalgia. Her eyes ran over every wooden pillar near collapsing in on itself, Every woven basket empty and dusty.
It was cold in here, Freezing like a winters night and leaving a burning frostbite in it's wake. It felt so chilling, Making [F/N] shiver once she felt it run down her spine. At the end was the altar, The one that stood so high before.
But now it was a shell of it's former self. Of what grand and high form it took before was now abolished into a dirty wreck. [F/N] gasped lightly at the sight of it, Was this really how such a sanctity was kept?
There were only puddles of wax within the candle holders atop it, The spiders making home within the crevices. It didn't stop [F/N] as she made her way down to the front of it, Standing before it as she always did but now it was different.
[F/N] felt no more sense of wonder or comfort within the walls, That sense of protection and safety she felt while she was in here was long gone. Replacing it was only a faint remnant of what was, Of what use to be.
[F/N] lowered onto her knees in front of it, In a praying position. She had no proper candles or material to light them with so she decided to do without. She sat there for a few moments, Taking in the derelict room before she spoke.
"Inari.." [F/N] started, Watching as her words turn into mist in the cold air.
"Inari I don't know what I'm doing anymore.. I have served you my entire life, I have been your devoted servant, Your worshipper and your follower." She started to say, Her voice picking up in volume with every word.
She gulped, Swallowing down her hesitancy.
"I don't know why I'm here, In the haiden or in the shrine at all. You were suppose to keep me safe from harm or hurt but you haven't. I've been through so much, I've lost so much. I feel so much pain every second of the day but you aren't fixing that…" [F/N] said, Shaking her head as she remembered.
"Shizuko.. Mitsuri.. M-My siblings.. I.. I don't know why you aren't making it better? T-That's what you're suppose to do, R-Right?" [F/N]'s voice grew shaky, Something blocking her throat as she felt warm water tickle at her eyes.
"..Are you even real, Inari? Have I been following nothing but ink on paper my whole life..? Please, Inari.. Answer me.." [F/N] begged. Her hands pressed in a praying position below the altar, Putting her head down onto the carpet to bow.
The cold draft blew across the haiden, It stayed quiet. Only the scuttling of mice and the settling of the foundation was heard. [F/N] bit her lip, The hot water starting to trickle down her face and sting at her skin.
[F/N] blinked, Sniffling once.
"Why won't you answer me..?" [F/N] asked near pleadingly, Trying her best to keep her lips in a shaky smile as she tried not to cry.
"Please.. Just answer me.." [F/N] whispered, Pressing her hands even tighter together.
But she sat there, Head pressed against the old carpet as she waited for something to happen.
And waited and waited.

new follower here, love your art so much it's filled with so much character! I saw your tag on the lovely ghoul art; so, thought I'd send an ask: I'd love to hear your thoughts on danger days! Any things at all, feel free to ramble if you want! I always love hearing others hcs/opinions/etc on the series!
HELLO this ask has been sitting in my inbox since january sorry..its mostly bc i have sooo many things 2 talk about and i wasnt sure what i wanted 2 say in this answer but whatever im just gonna ramble SO!!! U get a bunch of random hcs and maybe thematic analysis yippee!! and thank u soo much for the kind words :]
imo all the kjs have some form of body focused repetitive behavior because this is my world and i do what i want.. poison and ghoul have dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking), and kobra and jet have trich (hair pulling) maybe. I think constantly being on the run + adrenaline highs and lows would lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms for all of them and desert living leads 2 pretty shit skin (poison+kobra have at least had bad acne for sure) which is conducive to skin picking..i think the venom siblings and ghoul are bat city runaways too so the withdrawal from bli pills (+shakes and sweats) contributed to them developing bfrbs.
ghoul also gets really bad shakes and jitters from withdrawal, so when it gets so bad that they can’t work on their explosives he blasts mad gear as loud as it can from its speakers and lets himself scream all the frustration out.
also ghoul definitely has hearing loss from bomb detonation in too close proximity. tell me it would know abt proper hearing protection safety protocols with a straight face its impossible.
kobra was born w microform cleft lip, which means he has a little deformity/groove in his upper lip kind of similar to a snake’s . also he broke his nose at some point and it healed wrong so crooked nosebridge↴
Tumblr media
both jet and kobra are prone to migraines bc of eye strain and sensitivity (jet is nearly fully blind in his right eye and both kobras eyes are extremely sensitive to light, hence the sunglasses).
sometimes when the migraines are too much they both lie down in the trans am seats together at night and close their eyes and breathe in the dark
prior to jets eye injury they were the teams best marksman, and im not sure yet how greatly that changes after they lose depth perception, but one thing i like to believe is that jet is also a great sniper (stereoscopic vision due to retinal disparity is also only effective up til about 30 meters too so he wouldnt need to rely on binocular vision for that), so maybe they focuse on that skill post-injury. how i picture their scar ↴
Tumblr media
this is so long already but 1 last thing more in a thematic analysis vein: i need ppls opinions on the girl and her story PLEASE. she has so little agency in the canon narrative but . Where r the girlposters around here i need to hear others thoughts on her guilt complex from the fab 4s sacrifice and her running away from her own role as the protagonist of a story she never wanted 2 be part of and her blowing up the city that killed her family and whether or not that alleviated her neuroses and brought catharsis or not and her characterisation as a literal bomb and destructive force even though shes just a kid and ughhh. Linking this girl post i made a while ago w an anne carson quote that makes me crazy ANYWAYS. Talk 2 me about her. Im begging.

You got the devil on your team.
Summary: The mccall pack sent Theo to hell and yn plans a revenge. which includes bringing void stliles back in the picture
Tumblr media
really recommend to reading with the song
Yn threw open the doors of the Hale loft and walked down the stairs. The sound of her heels echoing through the place as she ,made the way to the basement. Her eyes dark as she seeked the revenge she desired.
Yn pushed both doors open at the same time as she entered. she walked slowly beside the shelfs looking bothways looking for a jar. she furrowed her eyebrows as she though a triskelion carved into a wall. she smirked and took two knives that were hidden in her belt, she hooked a knife in each side of the carving and twisted them whith all her strength. Her smirk grew widder as the wall pusshed back and moved to a side showing another room full of shelfs. The lights of the cealing turned on as she walked in and make her way toward the back of the room. She reached out and took a jar made of mountain ash whith a triskelion on the top.
"The Hale family really has an obsession with that thingy" Yn muttured sarcastically. she turned around and close the opening of the wall. making shure it was completly locked.
She wasent even a suppernatural but she could still hear an angry buzz that came from the jar she held in her hands.
"well void time to come out" she said and opened it a fly inmidiatly flying out.
there was a Cloud of smoke and stiles appeared. Exept of course it wasent stiles, but void. he had her back turned away from her, but he slowly turned arround to face her with a sadistic smirk.
"If it isint Yn" He said "I knew youd always had a thing for the bad guys uh" he said giving her a sarcastic smile. " I thought you were a good girl" void said moking her.
Yn walked slowly toward him. giving him an evil smirk "well shit happens" she stepped closer to him. she touched a seringe she had tucked in the inside of her belt." and I was a good girl" Yn slurred distracting him. "I just turned bad" she looked at him with her dark shadowed eyes "and I plan on getting my revenge" Void gave her a almost confused glace and Yn stabbed with with the syringe pumping kanima venom into his system.
" you little whore" Void spat as he fell to the ground.
"im not taking any chances of you killing me"
"not only a pretty face but smart" Void mocked.
YN rolled her eyes at him and dragged his toward a shelf and leaned him back on it.
"OK now lets talk about how you are going to help me"yn started squatting infront of him.
Look at you needing me You know I'm not your friend without some greenery
"Look at you needing me" void laughed
"I know that we're not friends whithout some greenery"Yn answered lifting a perfectly plucked ayebrow.
Walk in wearing fetters Peter should know better Your cover up is caving in Man is such a fool Why are we saving him?
"tell me what do you want?"
"You see, in the time you were gone I fell in love, as you see, the guy I fell in love with, was, a bad guy" yn told him moving her head to the side "And Kira Yukimora, you've met her before, sended him to hell"
"Uhh, what did he do sooo wrong"asked Void making a fake pout.
"he traid to take over the pack" Yn answered with a shrug
"Man's such a fool? why are we saving him?"
"I havent found a way to free him. kira took the sword to the desert walkers, such a bitch" sighed Yn shaking her head " I want something else. And ... I really need your help" Void lifted both eyebrows as if waiting for something. Yn pursed her lips and let her head fall. she grunted in annoyance"....please"
Poisoning themselves now Begging for our help, wow!
Hills burn in California My turn to ignore ya Don't say I didn't warn ya
"Begging for my help, wow!" Yn looked at him though an angry frown."and what do I get in return?" asked the spirit
"A moment of freedom" Yn aswered sarcastically " common Void, you should be thanking ME, Im the one who got you out, you better accept anyway." yn said giving him a dangerous glace
Void turned his gaze away from her "My turn to ignore ya"
"Dont say I didnt warn ya" Yn said straighting up from her position.
She walked toward an oppossite shelf. she rummanged through the vases and boxes till she found a little glass bottle. she took it and walked toward void.
"you see this?" she asked her gaze fixated on the little jar." this is fox poison" she said giving him a sarcastic smile" I pour this little bottle in you, and BAM! youre reduced to a little fly. Again"
Void furrowed her eyebrows at her as if daring her. Yn just smirked and bent down next to him.
"oh common Yn, remember youre a good girl right?" Void pleaded nervosly.
All the good girls go to hell 'Cause even God herself has enemies And once the water starts to rise And heaven's out of sight She'll want the devil on her team
"Well, all the good girls go to hell" Yn said smirking. she opened the bottle. she harshly took voids face holding him still" youre no good to me if you dont do what I say" she whispered. she held his jaw still, and was reaching the bottle up to his lips.
"Ok, Ok waht do you want!!!" Void cried.
yn smirked and let go of his face" I want revenge void. I want to make Scott MCcall feel what I've felt this past two months" Yn stared at Voids eyes and saw a glint at the perspective of hurting Scott. yn straightened up "and for that..."
"you want the devil on your team" Void finished smirking.
"precisely" Yn answered with dark humor laced on her voice.
Void wobled into his numb feet. feeling the venom leave his system. He looked up to her.
"Lets go"
How did you guys like evil Yn? requests are open!!!

I know you’ve seen Mea Culpa👀
You know I did 🫠
Tumblr media
It was good! It wasnt AS bad as I was thinking. It definitely couldve been better. Idk why Tyler Perry thinks its a flex to write, direct, and produce these movies in 20 days but he clearly has no real friends. No one's telling him to fn quit. And he needs some real therapy.
Its becoming abundantly clear how he really feels/thinks about Black women and men, specifically dark skinned Black people.
Either he wanted to fuck Trevante or wanted to be that character, maybe some combination of the two, but lawdt. I have more questions at the end of this than answers. But I'll take more Trevante. 🥵 baby, the way I want to rewrite that entire movie 🫠🫠🫠
Like forgive my ego, but it couldve been handled so much better! Spoilers under the cut!!!
See, me personally, I feel like Kelly played it entirely too cold. She was cleary bitter about her aint shit husband and I dont condone cheating, but if there was ever a good reason for it 😪
The mom was entirely too fuckin nasty towards her and Charlise. Entirely too much venom. Especially considering that you don't find out why until the last 30mins of the movie. And it comes off like emotional incest, because why is she that invested her in sons' lives???
I still dont know what happened with the blood and bone fragments found in the paintings. Sure you can say it was planted by the brother in law, but I needed that explicitly stated. Why were there paintings in the brother in laws house? Why did Zyair paint all over that lady's portrait?
Were they together? Chuz he said they werent and then referred to her as a gf? And why was Hydie hiding out in the DR, scared out of her mind if Zyair posed no threat to her?
I also dont know why TP loves hitting on Black women. Like that part of it was sooo unnecessary. Her WEAK ass husband didnt have to hit her in the end. And TP petty as hell for the bill scene. You KNOW that was in response to his BS commentary on how Black women need to be happy with the bare minimum.
Zyair could have been more interesting. He came off so pushy? More worried about getting her in bed than the seduction. The corruption. Slowly driving her insane with lust. I didnt like that she hopped on him after fucking the snow patrol, and in response to her weak ass husband. Like he shouldnt have been a factor. Fuck him 🤷🏽‍♀️
Plot holes aside, I genuinely did like it. I juss wish there was more than one sex scene between them. Because fuhhh that was hot 🥵🥵 Ill be honest, I wanted a court drama 😪🤣🤣
I do like that she didnt stay with him in the end and he continued bout his fuck boy activites. Hes so disrespectful. Jeebus, I need him 🥵🥵🥵

My brain did this I'm so sorry
Ajax headcannons cause I can (forgive me):
-Greek mythology says something along the line of male gorgon can't exist sooo...trans!ajax.
-ajax defo has two mams, one gorgon and either a second gorgon mam or mabey either normie or siren
-ajax loves all reptiles and (thanks to eugene) bees. Hates wasps tho, they kill bees and aren't very useful.
-strangely innocent, knows about top and bottom tho
-did drugs once with a friend, ended up throwing up as soon as he toon it tho so...never again
-wishes gorgons were called the slithers and not stoners since gives wrong impression
-fell hard for Eugene and Enid...but ajax and Enid ended on good terms after a few months of dating.
-hates his snakes sometimes and unfortunately s/lf h//ms (If u know u know) by c//ting them off...luckily has only done that three times, only six sneks were lost.
-has random scale patches everywhere and he sheds like a snek does, it's kinda painful ngl
-wishes he had normal hair like Eugene since Eugene's hair is super super fluffy!!!
-scared to go out alone since gorgon attacks (normies attacking gorgons) are getting more frequent in the US...(why did brain do such thing idk)
-ajax has greek, Italian and Belgium roots in his family
-his snakes look like dark pastel green pythons and have cute puppy mouths
-ajax isn't venomous cause his snakes aren't but he does have backwards facing canines and pre-molars (the teeth just behind the canines)
Hope you enjoyed what the 'tism brought up today

Tiefling KO (cyptoid seeker au) is now my child. Imagine this, paired with his fangs. I mean, he clearly had small little fangs in the show. So are they his remnant trait compared to the venomous seeker fangs? And do they, instead of being toxic/deadly, just produce a numbing agent? That would be really cool. Also, what about eggs. Does he still do the seeker egg thing, or is he normal in that aspect. Because I can only imagine how freaked out both KO and BD would be about the egg thing.
Ooh a couple points to address!
So, first of all: yes he's got little fangs, though not as pronounced as seekers. The deliverance of venom isn't actually transferred through bites, like most venomous species: they actually spit it. It launches at high velocities and can travel about 5 paces with frightening precision. Think like the dilophasaurus from Jurassic Park or ASE. Seeker venom is topical, and absorbs through armor and mesh incredibly quickly, and then depending on what kind of venom it is, the effects start between about 5 seconds and 2 kliks. The paralyzing venom kicks in the fastest, whilst neurotoxins take a bit longer. Knockout's venom is significantly weaker than most seekers, only able to cause non-debilitating numbness, though it could be useful for painless field repairs in case of emergency.
Secondly, as for reproduction... that's a really good question, and I honestly don't know which is more likely. I'm tempted to say, as a half and half, either is possible for him, depending on the sire. If the sire is a grounder, it would be a single live birth, but if the sire is a seeker, then it's likely a small clutch. And that's only assuming that he's carrying; if he sires, it's a shot in the dark. It'll just depend on which of his genes are stronger (which, given everything we've established to far, physically his grounderside is most dominant, sooo).

A Mirror Sleeps
Ever since Niseru has begun living with Emmet as Ingo, he has dealt with nightmares nearly every night. Usually he can at least handle them by himself though..
Content warnings will be in tags but I will put them here as well: Nightmares, throwing up/emetophobia, strangulation and claustrophobia. Be safe
And thank you SOOO very much (kisses and hugs) to @tuusenarts for drawing the scene that was killing me💗
Tumblr media
---
A soft sigh breaks the stillness of the room as Ingo's heavily lidded eyes turn to gaze at the window, tracing the shapes of twinkling moonlight with his gaze. The tempting prospect of sleep weighed heavily on his mind, yet, something was keeping him from giving in.
He always thought sleep would be so peaceful back in ultra space, where time was merely a concept and his body had no need for it. Experiencing it now.. it frightens him. He hates the nightmares. Hates, hates, hates. They were cruel, dredging up every fear he swallowed down and shoving it in his face. He could deal with it though, for Emmet. He would take care of this body's needs even if it were as frightening as sleep! It was fine! Everyone has nightmares sometimes.. He could handle it. Pulling the blankets up to his chin as he shifted to lay on his side, he let his eyes close, bracing for what was to come.
---
Blank.
That's the only word that felt appropriate for what Ingo saw. A blank empty room with him in the very middle. It was almost calm besides the unsettling pit of dread swirling in his chest. Nothing was ever calm in his dreams, and this room wouldn't be the exception. He sat, his nerves eating him alive as he waiting for something to happen.
Tumblr media
Yet, nothing did. He blinked, tempted to laugh. His own subconscious was toying with him. He smiled and pushed himself to stand only to immediately lose his balance as a horrible tremor overtook him. He sputtered and coughed, watching in horror as a dark blue substance spewed from his mouth.
Tumblr media
No, no, no, no. His mist began to seep from his eyes and mouth beyond his control, his hands slapping over his mouth to try and stop his horrid coughing but it wouldn't stop, his body wouldn't stop. At this rate he'd- "You deserve this."
The voice snapped his head upward, eyes dripping his condensed mist like thick, unyeilding tears. It was Ingo, another Ingo, glaring down at him with seathing hatred.
"Be rejected by the body you stole, reflection."
Tumblr media
He sputtered, voice lost as he choked on his own mist. The only noise he could make as this duplicate grabbed his throat and wretched him from Ingo's body, was a desperate, choking, sob. Niseru twitched and shook as he tried to recover, his single eye staring at the duplicate in utter terror. He wanted to wake up. He wanted to scream, hide, find Emmet, anything. Anything that wasn't this.
No matter how desperately he clawed at the others hands, how he struggled and tried to beg, Ingo's grip wouldn't let up. No. Emmet's grip wouldn't let up. His eye widened and he felt his terror grow as in a flash that other Ingo had become Emmet, choking the life out of Niseru.
"You're nothing but an imperfect stand in. Your mere existence makes me sick."
Niseru shook his head and choked on a sob, his eye dripping down the side of his face.
He couldn't take this. He wanted it over now, now, now. He wanted the real Emmet, the one that.. at the very least tolerated him. If, that was even true.
"You know it isn't." The Emmet's voice dripped with venom, eyes filled with hateful mirth as his hands wrung the ultra beasts neck "You're good for nothing. Worthless."
Tumblr media
The pain from being strangled he could almost bear but hearing his own fears echoed to him by the voice of someone he held so dear was something else entirely. It made the strength in him falter, hands falling away from the crushing grip around his thin neck.
Maybe it was better to let the dream run its course, deal with the agony and try to brush it off in the morning. Yet the moment he gave up, he was tossed to the ground. His mist echoed his cries as he meekly raised his head to gaze up at Emmet, but he wasn't there. Niseru was alone again.
Alone and trembling in a room that seemed more claustrophobic the longer he sat there. His claws dug into the floor suddenly when he realized it wasn't just a feeling, the room /was/ becoming more claustrophobic. The walls had began to swiftly close in on him as some horrible disembodied voice laughed at the sight.
He frantically clawed at the blank surfaces around him in some feeble attempt to escape but it was for naught. No matter how desperately he scratched at the walls and tried to flood it with his mist, nothing would stop the room from crushing him. His pleas for mercy were nothing but white noise.
Tumblr media
---
He awoke with a wail, trembling and still fighting against whatever had a hold on him, like a frightened animal. His panicked cries stilled for a moment, however, when he noticed how gentle the touch was. His eyes slowly focused to see Emmet before him, tears wetting his face. The real Emmet, his Emmet. His brother.
Dark tears rushed from Ingo's eyes at the sight, desperately throwing himself at his brother and clinging on, to the other man's surprise. His arms hovered around Ingo's shoulders before he pulled him into a tight embrace, rocking the both of them in a gentle sway. "It's okay.." His voice was soft, so much softer than the one in his dream. Soft. Kind. So kind. "I'm here. I always will be... You know that, right?" Niseru's voice caught in his throat as his mind flashed an image of that hateful gaze, making his body go tense if only for a moment. "Ingo."
"I know.." He murmurs, face burrowing into the other's shoulder as he took a deep shuddering breath. No matter how cruel his subconscious could be, he would trust Emmet, the real one, more than anything.
"Thank you.. Emmet."
A hand ghosts through his hair, gentle. Comforting.
"Of course, Brother."
And, Emmet would trust him.

Hello! I love your work! Is it possible for a sun x reader x moon? I’d really like to see them fight over the reader (gender neutral pls). The rest is up to you!
[I hope you don't mind that Sun and Moon are two different animatronic!]
I think i took the "fight" a little bit too literally and im so sorry for that. I still hope you enjoy it.
Warning:Grammatical errors,Jealousy,a fight scene,yelling,injuries.
Not fair!
Oh,Sundrop was sooo happy. Absolutely overjoyed.
He spend a lot of time with you today,you visited him in your lunchbreak! Oh! His poor heart when he saw you. His metallic heart was overheated and maybe it melted a little too. But that doesn't matter,you wanted to spend time with him and sacrifice your lunchbreak for HIM.
He wanted to scream so badly and marry you on the spot,you were so cute to resist. Oh,but he had to. Sundrop want to make every single hour worth it for you and couldn't bear the possibility of ruining something in our little dates. He would die if only one single mistake is done.
You deserve the best and he is going to give it to you. Tomorrow he got everything planned to make your visit better then before.
Oh,All kids knew. They know his massive crush on you,it was almost impossible to not notice it. The kids saw him doing different things that only revolves around you; jumping around happily more then usual, he freeze for a second when you touch his hand, he is more distracted when you're around and also leave some drawing with you in like a teenager in love and etc.
The kids weren't oblivious and totally tease him about it. Leaving Sundrop absolutely red and trying to distract the kids from the truth,which, it doesn't work that well. Their teasing only become bigger at every denial from Sundrop.
Sundrop had to run in his room before his heart dies for how much the kids were stubborn about it. He sigh and relax his back on the door, hoping the kids doesn't tell you about his change of attitude when you're around. Oh lord! It would ruin everything!
Sundrop hide his face in his hands,not wanting to think the embarassing situasion that would happen if the kids reveal his crush on you. But,his thoughts were interrupted by an aggressive scoff coming from the other side of the room.
It was dark but Sundrop knew who it was,His little brother Moondrop, the shy and awkward yet recently aggressive Lil' bro. Oh no,it was one of thhose days where Moondrop was angry!
Sundrop smile awkwardly at him and waves,a little scared of what moondrop is upset about. "You forgot that me and Y/n got a special ""date"" tomorrow,hm?" Moondrop says with a monotone voice,already expecting a loudly no from sundrop as he fix his audiobox before he goes in reboot.
"WHAT- YOU TWO GOT A DATE" Sundrop loudly exclaimed,leaving Moondrop surprised for a second,sundrop actually forgot about it, unbelievable. "I-i mean! Of course you don't-! This one of your pranks,isn't it!?"" Sundrop anxiously denied,not believing what moondrop said.
"I know your little special plan for tomorrow,im not going to let you have that,big brother." Moondrop says almost spitting venom out of his mouth,getting closer to him making sundrop a little more anxious. It was useless to deny in front of Moondrop.
"Why not!? Don't tell me you're in love with them too!!" Sundrop yells out of shock. he didn't notice!! He was too busy looking at you to notice he had an rival and its even worse the fact its moondrop.
"Of course i am,wh- how the hell didn't you notice" moondrop says confused,you both are acting very clearly in love for y/n, this disappoint moondrop even more. He thought that maybe Sundrop was teasing moondrop over stealing y/n but nope,the truth its even worse.
"I definitely notice you acting all adorable around y/n! I can't let you win them all over just for your silly little childish crush" moondrop continues,not letting sundrop speak and run away to this argument. But,surprisingly, Sundrop was getting more angry with no intention of letting moondrop win this little argument.
"It's not CHILDISH! STOP THINKING OF ME AS A CHILD!" Sundrop loudly exclaimed again. He was having a tantrum in front of moondrop. Sundrop wanted this to stop and tries to calm himself down,while Moondrop was trying to find a common ground and failing to calm his aggressive mind.
"And you stop stealing people from me! You already have everything!" Moondrop point out,he had everything moondrop wanted; The kids attention,the spotlight and etc. He won't let him have your attention too.
"You don't have rights over people! That why they want me more then you,possessive boogieman!" Sundrop yells again because of his tantrum and inability of communicate normally when angry, leaving moondrop speechless and more aggressive at his remark.
"Why you-!' Moondrop jump on sundrop out of control, the "vanny" glitch is still stuck in his code and uncontrollably throwing hands at Sundrop while Sundrop was defending himself, not feeling the gusts to punch him back.
Sundrop was able to get free and run away from his room,absolutely scared and in panic mode. "You can't own y/n,moondrop! That's not how love works!" Sundrop trying to reason with moondrop but the vanny glitch stuck in his code doesn't want to hear it, still attacking him in every way possible.
"I don't want to own y/n! I want someone special in my life for once!" Moondrop yell while his eyes start lighting up in a intense red eyes more then before, it was the end for sundrop. But,he doesn't give up.
"Y-you have me! You have your older brother! Am i not special for you?" Sundrop frown a little after finishing the phrase leaving Moondrop to growls out of guilt and annoyance.
"That's not what i mean!" Moondrop punch the wall so hard that it could literally destroy it but by miracle,its didn't fall down. Moondrop's hand doesn't seem so well after the punch,you could literally see the wires out.
"I want someone in my life to actually see me behind the usual freaky monstrous "sidekick" of sundrop! Every kids avoid me or scream when i get close with no malicious intentions!" Moondrop stop for a moment due to the big injury in his hand, he growls in pain but continues
"you don't know what it feels like to be ignored. all children love you, adore you and praise you while I receive the exact opposite. I hate this,i hate being used as a emontional punchbag from everyone.." sundrop doesn't say anything and get slowly close to moondrop. Once he is close enough, sundrop hold moondrop's injuried hand very gently.
"I just want som-someone..to love me,sundrop" Moondrop finally break down and start crying oil,sundrop hug him very tightly and start crying with him too. Sundrop feel so bad for his brother but he can't leave his love for y/n. Maybe they can find a compromise?
"Im so sorry,moon. I..i didn't notice the difference. I thought the kids treat you nicely like me.." sundrop whisper and keep hugging moon, moon reciprocate the hug after calming himself down,sundrop's shoulder was covered in oil but that doesn't matter for now.
"Hey,how about this?" Sundrop free moon from the hug and let moondrop look at him so he understands what kind of answer moondrop would give without saying anything. "We could share y/n together! Giivng then more love with certainly make them more happy,right!?" Sundrop's eyes shine while still being nervous in the inside,but thankfully moondrop smirk and nods.
"Alright,fine. If that mean i can have couch cuddles for myself" moondrop says jokingly. Obviously wanting sundrop to have an exaggerated reaction which it happens. Sundrop gasp in offense and gently punches his arms like a little kid.
Moondrop laugh and drag sundrop out of there,reaching the door with his injured hand since the other one is too busy dragging sundrop away only to be interrupted by Y/n looking pretty exhausted.
"I hear a loud sound coming from here. Please,tell me it wasn't monty!" Y/n tries to say while breathing heavenly,you must had run miles to get there which make moondrop a little nervous. He is trying to hide his injuried hand behind his back.
Y/n definitely notice it the sudden movement and ready to let him spit whatever he is hiding from his mouth. "What did you do moondrop" you put your hands on your hips, waiting for moondrop to start speaking only to sundrop to interrupt before moon could say anything.
"O-OH! MX. Y/N! We're just.. uuuh finding more toys for the kids. You know how kids want new things everyday! Ahahah,let's go moon-" Sundrop take moondrop's arm and tries to walk away awkwardly, Y/n stop them from walking any futher with an face that make them understand they are fucked no matter what excuse.
"Spit it out" y/n simply says,looking terrifying to both sundrop and moondrop and immediately let a "Yes,y/n..." following with all the things that happen.
I don't think i need to say who needed up with two clingy robots for the rest of your life.

More crappy memes
Unpublished au flavored tho :v
I decided to just introduce these obscure aus by just yeeting a summary and a meme :'3
Honestly it sounds like a dumb idea, but I really enjoyed myself doing these as a breather so :v
Ok, we have 8 aus to see :3
Smol note: why is Idia so memeable?!
More under ✨️le cut✨️
Magical girl Idia au:
This au is crack, mostly since Idia is just hit with all the tropes of your usual magical girl story. His only motivation is born from the fact that the main antagonist(which is literally named 'evil overlord') cursed ortho to be a smol pocket kitty. The plot armour is so ridiculous and obvious that Idia himself goes to LENGTHS to just get rid of it(spoiler: he fails). Add to it the fact that NRC collectively thinks a pretty girl in a sparkly skirt and high heels saves them, cue Idia just trying his darn best to survive this school year.
Tumblr media
Surveillance duty(horror au):
This one was in the drafts for SOOO much... like I didn't know if I should make just 1 oneshot or a full lil series... but the premise is that Riddle, a teacher at a high-school, offers to vouce one night of camera duty for the guard. From there a series of shenanigans and actual horrors make Riddle to realize that there is more to the school than the eye lets on. Also that the elderich monster is kinda hot
Ps: my fave part is the unholy abomination of energy drinks and coffee Riddle brews. Yes, this is the au that started that bandwagon
Tumblr media
Addams Deuce au:
As the title says... Deuce's an Addams, which in twst actually has them be vampires. :v It's mostly a rom-com type of crack, Deuce trying to adapt to nrc and also nrc trying to adapt to Deuce. Doesn't help that he has a venomous snake as a pet.
Tumblr media
Matt Hatter au:
I also like this one :v. Basically, the grandfather on the father's side of the zibvolt family leaves as inheritance a cinema. Sevek discovers the truth about the movies the zibvolt family once made along with the parallel world they created. So Sebek has to embark on an adventure to restore and maintain peace in the movie world, while also attending his guard and student duties.
Tumblr media
Monster high au:
You had to expect it from me. This one, surprisingly, has a pretty interesting plot, following a timeline made out of the mh movies, starting with Why do ghouls fall in love, ending with an eah movie: way to wonderland.(It's my way of making parallels). You have everything in there! From ghosts and a shy boogieman, to forest monsters and Demons who accidentally blow up things. Most of them actually have pretty angsty stoties, so it's not all that happy. :v
Tumblr media
Wild magic au:
In which wild magic is like in s7 of winx. The source of that dark magic is guarded by the nrc Dormheads and some students. Rsa is a school for fairies, which tries to defeat the 'misterious wild magic mages'. The teachers at nrc, nor the Rsa or anyone else knows that some of the nrc students actually got wild magic and they would rather keep it like that. They are petty, they don't like to share :v
Tumblr media
Shazam! Au
In which poor, sweet, innocent Ortho is thunderstruck with God powers and now has to juggle school life and 'superhero' life all while he and Idia try to fit in with their new adoptive family. Ace clearly hypes him up, Sebek's the voice of ration and the rest? Well the rest shouldn't really know for now. Apparently since the supposed to be mentor dipped, the heir of Hades's powers, which so happens to be idia, is now tutoring Ortho.
Tumblr media
Over the garden wall au(another horror au):
In which Idia and ortho venture into the forest, but only ortho gets out. Being cursed to take place of a monster that ruled that place, idia lurks through there and tries to control his new powers and not led madness consume him. Also he has some fear-hate relationship with butterflies :v.
Tumblr media
And those are all :3
For now >:3
Yep, those are chaotic and I couldn't focus one bit on them without having someone to egg me on or ask me about it.
Ironically, they are all(minus addams deuce and Matt hatter aus) fully fleshed out with a lot of details. They can get wild at times, but hey! That's the charm :D
So go on... theorise or ask on why do I think these memes are hilarious /hj
Because really, there is sum insane mental gymnastics there.
Hope you enjoyed another silly round of crappy memes!
Until next time! Buh bye!

Digimon Adventure 02 (Blind Watch) - Episode 48
Damn, this episode was kinda messed up. It also had a weird vibe because there was another art style shift. It's crazy how noticeable and frequent those are in this season. I don't really remember that in the first Adventure series...It didn't look bad but just, off. Maybe simpler line art than usual?
Digimon introduced: Belial Vamdemon
Notes:
-As much as I love Koushiro's mom, the fact that she made onigiri again annoyed me. It's like Iori's grandpa and his jelly, the repetition makes the character feel flatter, like that one food is their only personality trait. (She's still a cutie tho)
-Literally had the VamDemon twist spoiled for me this morning before watching the episode smh. At least I made it this far without knowing. It felt very Voldemort/Prof. Quirrell.
-Not sure if the digital world doesn't except ALL adults or just "bad" adults. Either way it reminded me of Peter Pan and Neverland. I can relate to Oikawa wanting to go to a magical land for kids (I've never really wanted to be an adult lol).
-Oikawa crying in a kinda goofy way and then singing to the brainwashed kids was...interesting. Definitely a side we haven't seen before. (Omg the singing was way more tone deaf in the dub lol).
-The world they end up in (???) looked really cool. Kinda Salvador Dali-esque. Is this where they sent Vamdemon when they defeated him originally?
Tumblr media
"I'm just a sweet transvestite, from transexual Transylvania, ha HA!"
-Sooo Oikawa was kind of like Ken with a negative influence swaying his behavior this whole time? Hopefully this means we get a redemption arc for the poor guy!
-The death scenes of Archnemon and Mummymon kind of pushed the boundaries for a kid's show. I was especially cringing at the way Belial Vamdemon tortured Archnemon. (No way of cutting that out of the dub!)
-I don't particularly like Belial Vamdemon's design (too busy), but at least he doesn't have a second face on his crotch like Venom Vamdemon did!
-Some random lore stuff was thrown around but I found it hard to follow (yet again). Something about the dark towers enabling "tainted adults" to enter the Digi-world (okaaay) and the fact that the kids' flowers are food for Vamdemon (didn't he just threaten to eat kids in the other season? Like, without any flowers?)
