#『 ✧: Kanako: featherchan 』

[bushido-jack]

@featherchan

The battle had been arduous, but it had been won. Jack stood among a field of scrap metal, robot minions destroyed all around him, still smoldering from meeting their recent ends. Experienced eyes scanned the remains, the sharp bits of metal never to harm again. It had been an ambush. Aku’s forces must have followed him down this path. The map he had been using, since destroyed in the battle, had been gifted to him by a stranger who had told him about a legend of a magical gateway hidden to the east.

Aku must know I am getting closer to his doom, Jack thought. I must hurry.

He knew Aku would stop at nothing to delay Jack and destroy anything that could give Jack the upper hand. He waded forward through the metal bodies, through and back on to the trail. Although the map was gone, he remembered the way. As he walked, he rid himself of the bits of tattered cloth still clinging to his chest, the upper part of his gi having been shredded in the battle. Although he hadn’t been seriously wounded, he had been cut by the many sharp weapons that had accosted him from all sides, cuts which now stung at his skin as he pulled the remaining cloth away.

He hadn’t made it more than halfway through the forest before something alarmed him. He had felt fine after the battle, but now… he was beginning to feel weak, uncoordinated, and ill. He had tended the wounds as well as he felt he could spare his time and resource, but he hadn’t thought much of the cuts until now. None of them had given him cause for alarm… but it seemed the danger was hidden. Poison! It must have been! The robots from before… they must have had poison on their weapons, to fester in the cuts they created… The moment he had felt it, he had begun to look for plants to cure the effects. He knew many, and much of which could be found in the wild, to treat any suspected poison or to stave off the effects. However, as he began to search, it seemed the forest was getting darker, the air thicker. In moments, just as he had noticed the poison, a fog had descended around the forest, dimming the light, obscuring his vision. It wasn’t long before he couldn’t see barely a stride in front of him, let alone the path ahead or any plants he would need to treat the poison. Despite the setbacks, he continued, although the search only served to weaken him further… with clenched jaw and fists, the samurai forced his body onwards, hoping it was the right direction.

No! I refuse to succumb! I will not! Aku’s minions will not stop me! He repeated the words to himself over and over, sweat and furious determination in his brow as it became more and more difficult to move, to breathe, to think…

His body felt numb, save for the waves of dull pain passing through his veins as he stumbled through the forest, what vision that hadn’t been cut from the mist now dimmed by illness, the samurai struggling blindly to make it out and into the light, every step a stubborn will to continue. It had been hours of this blind wandering, and his body could not take much more, already pushed far beyond the limit where most would have collapsed long before. Pausing to catch himself, he could see the faint silhouette of a figure looming in the fog. Desperation overtook him. He needed a way out now, or it may be too late. He knew not whether it was friend or foe, yet he was forced to take his chances. He took one step forward, towards the shadow, before the world seemed to toss and turn, spinning and twisting, sending him off his feet and to the ground with a hard thump. Shaking hand reached upwards, seeing the figure drawing nearer.

“Please, help me…” He managed to wheeze out in a final effort, before he finally gave in to the poison, the world darkening into nothing.

[coollyinterferes]

A light giggle was heard as a child with raven-colored hair and bright amethyst-colored eyes, ran into the Speedwagon headquarters, followed by two black-suited bodyguards, who were chasing after their young lady. "My lady, wait! Slow down!"

Still a little short, she jumps to reach for the door handles before the secretary can reach it for her. And she would have gladly opened the door for her. But Kanako, who was already at the age where she felt she was 'a big girl now', would independently do it on her own. "It's okay, Beverley. I can manage…" And as she waltzed into the big office, she ran to a man sitting at a large, luxurious wooden desk.

"GRANDPAPA!" She yells with delight with the biggest smile on her face. But there was something mischievous behind those innocent smiles, as she hid something behind her back. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" The little Lioness roared. Presenting him with a handmade birthday card, with a childish, almost unreadable handwriting of birthday wishes. And it has a cute, happy drawing inside, drawn by her of them (herself, her adopted grandfather, and his imaginary friend (stand), all smiling happily in the art. "I got this for you too…" Kanako presented another gift, a little bouquet of flowers that was almost as big as her. "I chose the flower!" She added. "I hope you like it…" A shy smile then appeared on her face. And like any child, she waited patiently with excitement to be loved and praised by him, for the gifts she had worked hard to prepare.

brithday asks! 【no longer accepting】 @featherchan

As the commotion around inches closer down the hallway and towards the main office, Speedwagon is able to catch some of it just a couple of seconds before the door swings open, revealing the little one that's behind it all. He raises his gaze from the document he was reading just in time to see Kanako entering the office. The sound of rushed footsteps somewhere in the distance indicating she had once more gotten her poor bodyguards in a bit of a predicament. And although he felt a bit bad for them, it was undeniable that there was something equal parts endearing and impressive about this little girl outrunning her caretakers like that yet again.

A bright smile takes over the old man's face at the sight of his granddaughter coming to see him (granddaughter perhaps not by blood, but he did see her as such nonetheless).

"Kanako-chan, good morning!" He greets her, getting up from his seat and walking over towards the door to receive his young guest. While he had been reminded of today's date earlier in the day by the staff at the headquarters, he is still greatly surprised with Kanako's gesture. The fact that she not only had remembered the date but that she had also arranged some presents and even sneaked around to deliver them herself without even waiting to be taken to his office truly meant a lot to him.

"Oh my. Thank you so much, dear!" He replies with a gentle bow of his head as he crouches a bit so he can be more on an eye level with her. He receives the birthday card Kanako made for him, and which he opens. And, even though he isn't able to look in close detail at it due to Kanako presenting him with the bouquet, he is able to notice a particular sight among the girl's writing and her cute drawings. It's a picture of his stand, something that raises some questions that he might have to ask later on. For now, he focuses on the subject at hand, as not to dwindle down the child's enthusiasm. The sight of the small girl and the huge bouquet she's carrying is just too adorable to Robert.

"Oh, you picked these for me?" Another pleasant surprise; genuine joy written all over his face as he receives the bouquet and looks at the bright colored flowers in it. "You have a very good eye for flowers. They are beautiful. So is the birthday card you made for me." No lies at all, he truly loves Kanako's thoughtful presents. Holding the bouquet and the card in one arm and hand, he uses his free hand to softly pat Kanako's head; his bright and genuine smile hasn't faded at all, not even once.

"Say, would you help me find a vase to put these beauties in?" He motions to the flowers, "I would love to have them here in the office so I can look at them while I work."

@featherchan asked: ❛  why don’t you come home with me?  ❜ / Nyxx n Kanako (MLB Verse) 𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑺𝑻𝒀 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺.

The cat found himself lowering his own float, acting as if she was laying on her stomach. "I mean, I'm not suppoooosed to. My owner would get upset and I know how they get when they get upset." Knowing her luck, it'd end with a curse on the poor girl.

But yet, rolling onto her back, grey eyes went back over toward the human. "But it'd be better than out in the cold. Sleeping outside sucks."

Such a hard choice... What to do...

[eternalstarlights]

@featherchan asked: 👀+ Kunikida n Kanako / send me 👀 + a ship ( platonic / romantic / hate ) & i’ll give you 3 headcanons!

1. Kanako was Kunikida's second student. His first student is Atsushi Nakajima. Kanako is different than Atsushi and she is not happy with being separated from her family to becomes a saint. Saints were always from orhans. Kanako was the first and only one who was not an orphan to be chosen as a saint. Kunikida never liked the idea of Kanako being forced into this but tried his best to make her feel comfortable.

2. In his free time, Kunikida would teach mathematics to young orphans. Kanako would sometimes come to visit his class to either learn math from him or help him teach the young children. The young children are more accepting than the trainees in the Sanctuary. Kunikida is usually soft around children, however, if he begins lecturing, they will hide or use Kanako as a shield, lol.

3. Other than training Kanako, he also taught her English, Greek, math, science, history, and many other subjects that he believe is important. He is a strict teacher however, he is good at teaching. He also used stickers sometimes to praise Kankao and now she has a collection of stickers lol. (Yes, stickers did exist back in the 18th century)

⚑ / Kanako n Hakkai 👀

Situational tropes || Accepting!

⚑ Our muses are mistaken to be a couple by someone else.

It was an elderly lady visiting the inn to collect some herbs who pointed it out, after watching them interact when Hakkai insisted on helping out. She said it so plainly too, implying it's as clear as day. Hakkai could only let out a meek little laugh in response at first.

Turns out the lady was a regular, having known Kanako fairly well. "Oh my, am I mistaken? But you two get along so well! It's hard to believe you've only just met. Not to mention..." She glanced around before leaning in, as though relaying juicy gossip. "I've always told Kanako here that the right one could be just around the corner. And a fine, handsome young man who knows his way around the kitchen? I couldn't think of a more perfect match!"

Haha, oh boy...

"I'm very flattered, ma'am, but I really am just another guest who so happened to drop by, and owe Miss Kanako a debt of gratitude." Hakkai thought to clear up, not wanting Kanako to be put on the spot or feel pressured into anything.

Still, he couldn't say he didn't find any truth in some of the woman's words.

"I do treasure our time together, that I fear I might have gotten a little too comfortable here."

𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝑵𝑶𝑵𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑩𝑨𝑳 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺 .  | 74﹕ sender  cares  for  receiver  while  they’re  sick . / Omi n Kanako (Xiaolin Showdown)

@featherchan || (X) || Omi

Omi was a handful and a half when sick. The other dragons were happy when Kanako offered to take care of the kid. Dojo was VERY happy when Kanako offered to take of the kid. He sticks around near by though just in case he's needed.

The dragon of water continues to try to get out of bed and be sneaky, when he's not actually asleep or pretending to sleep, so she has her hands full.

Omi does end up finally giving in and curling up next to her to sleep after wearing himself, and possibly her, out. He hates being sick but at least he's not alone while being sick and has someone to help watch over him, despite the trouble maker he is.

@featherchan asked:🎨 / Kimiko n Kanako (Xiaolin Showdown verse)

OCTOBER/HALLOWEEN STARTERS (ACCEPTING)

Kimiko hovers, adjusting fabric around the former thief and current Xiaolin dragon as they both stand in front of a mirror getting ready for a Halloween party. 'How's the fit? Not too tight?' Kimiko's adept as a sewer and mender when it comes to clothes, after lots of practice, but she still likes to check in anyway. Fashion and holidays are two of her greatest loves, and Halloween is very much a marriage of the two. She takes Halloween seriously, always, and she'd never let anyone down if they asked her for their help.

Even Kanako.

Kimiko and Kanako are still on shaky ground, admittedly, but they must be making some sort of headway if Kanako is comfortable enough to ask her for her help. It might have been difficult for her, as she knows that asking for someone's help is no easy task from personal experience. Kimiko takes note of this, and if Kanako is willing to trust her, even with something as admittedly small as this... Kimiko will meet her halfway. Somehow. In her own fashion. It's only fair.

'I need you to turn to my right so I can get the headpiece on. It's still a bit lopsided, but we'll fix it.'

[ REASSURANCE ] / Jack n Kanako (Samurai Jack!Future Verse)

Jack was surprised by the woman’s gentle hand on his. Lifting his head from where it had hung silently in frustration, Jack glanced at their hands and then to Kanako’s face.

“I know, it is foolish to dwell on what is done… but I was so close.” His other hand tensed into a fist, thinking about how close he had came to achieving his goal, before Aku had came to ensure he was too late. He had given the demon a slash as retaliation, but Aku was much too cautious of Jack’s sword to stay anywhere nearby for another. He had decided to come by the inn for the night, to rest and to perhaps see if you could catch any heresay or talk that would tell him where to go next. Kanako was a healer, and what she could not touch of the mind she did her best to soothe. She was a kind soul, and it succeeded in giving him comfort to have some understanding.

[coollyinterferes]

Dress in a cute witch costume. Young Kanako rushing up to her grandpapa and his friend, again with the bodyguard not too far behind her. "Treat or trick!" And held out a wand. "Or I'll cast a spell on you..." Being young she hasn't fully gasped how it all works.

Trick or treat! 【accepting only tonight, so come get your candies while you can】 @featherchan divider credit

Both men watched the scene as it unfolded before them, trying their hardest not to chuckle and remain stoic, as if they hadn't just witnessed the poor bodyguard doing his hardest to keep up with Kanako, with the girl completely outrunning him yet again. They didn't have to struggle for long, though, as their attention now switched to the young girl and her cute costume.

"Oh, no!" Robert replied, overly dramatic acting with hand motions and all, but with a smile on his face to show he was only playing. Jonathan couldn't help a chuckle at those theatrics as well. "Please don't cast a spell on us! Tell her, Jonathan!" Following the cue, Jonathan then joined Speedwagon.

"Yes! Please don't do that! We will give you all the candy we have!" The back of one of Jonathan's hands pressed against his forehead; head tilted back and all. It was clear that some of Robert's overly-dramatic ways had rubbed off on Jonathan over the years.

"He's right. But…" Robert then spoke again, putting a hand over his chest. The small smile never fading from his lips, "How about I show you a trick first?" The old man then crouched in front of Kanako. His expression turned a little bit more serious to add to the effect of what he was about to do.

"Watch this." He then added as he reached behind Kanako's ear and "pulled out" a small candy from her ear, showing it to her. A soft "Ohh" was drawn from Jonathan. Of course he knew how that trick worked since Robert himself had taught him long ago, so this was more for hyping up for Kanako.

"Sweet trick, isn't it?" Robert told her; his smile was back as he gave the girl the candy and picked her up in his arms so she was closer to Jonathan's level as well, and who had Kanako's Halloween candy ready.

"Your treats, young lady." Jonathan joined as he gave Kanako the bag of candy the two men had prepared with anticipation for her.

"Oh, yes, I am sure." The small white being smiled in reassurance. She hadn't quite expected to come across someone who could see her, and it did leave her in quite a mental panic, but she knew there wasn't much she could do other than make sure her owner didn't get found out about. The last thing she needed was for her identity to be discovered, lest she end up in a situation where they could risk a forced separation.

"I know the city rather well, so it will be no trouble at all to get back to where I need to be." She had always been overly careful when on her own. She was sure it'd be the same way this time, as well.

featherchan:

Only a few trusted individuals, such as the Pope, the Gold Saint, and trusted Saintias, knew of the existence of Hades's spouse, her aunt, Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, and the Queen of the Underworld. The goddess once met Persephone many decades ago, in her many previous reincarnations. She discovers that Persephone has cursed herself to reincarnate to find her beloved Hades again. Unfortunately, Demeter's meddling results in Persephone's cycle of rebirth being unpredictable, which means that sometimes she is not fortunate enough to be reunited with her true love. The Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, wondered what would happen if Persephone were made aware of the tragedy that had befallen her husband. She feared that should the news reach her, she would not take it well and her aunt might seek retribution.

"No..." Athena raised her hand to stop them. "We must keep this matter to the utmost secret for now." Though they finally obtained peace after defeating Hades, the air of hostility and distrust still remains among the Saints, a severe damage that was created by Pope Saga. "Remember. That we have multiple training grounds across the world. And to hunt down just one individual will be tedious. And based on the color of their eyes alone will discriminate against them." Sighing, she leaned back in her seat. "I will bring this matter to the Pope, but this information must not leave this room..." She spoke. "Am I understood?" The Goddess of Wisdom emphasized her order, noting the severity of the situation.

Outside of Athena's temple, somewhere in Santuary, the Lioness hums as she rests under a tree and looks up at the leaves that are shielding her from the sun. She looks slightly exhausted, as she is once again haunted by a forgotten dream. And being woken up by several nights in a row has left her feeling restless and exhausted. Yet, the unknown song she sings is the only source of comfort to the troubled Lioness' mind.

~~~~

After listening to Athena's advice, Delphinus Chantelle lowered her head out of shame.

"...Yes, I apologize for my foolishness, Lady Athena."

Cygnus Allette closed her eyes as she bowed her head.

"Yes, Lady Athena."

Lynx Saya also lowered her head as she said.

"Yes, Lady Athena."

As the three Saintias were finally being dismissed, Allette whispered as they started moving. "I don't think it was a completely foolish idea to take note of potential suspects but as Lady Athena said, this task would be painstaking and would result in too many suspects to narrow down as well as result in an unintentional discriminatory witch hunt."

Chantelle replied "Mmm." as she nodded her head.

Saya smiled as she tried to reassure her leader as she placed a hand on the taller girl's shoulder. "We'll figure something out, don't worry."

Chantelle nodded as she smiled. "Oh, that's right, you two haven't eaten breakfast yet. Chidori made some avocado toast for Lady Athena if you're interested."

Saya smiled. "Toast isn't enough for me, I need my protein. I'll ask Kanaria to cook me some eggs to go with it."

Chantelle added. "I'm sure she'll be happy to do that for you.

Allette mumbled. "...I'll just have some eggs as well. Avocado toast doesn't sound very appetizing..."

Chantelle and Saya froze in their tracks.

The indigo-haired girl replied "Oh, but you don't want to hurt Chidori's feelings... Why don't you try eating some toast then if you don't like it, you can tell her no?"

"...Fine." Allette yielded but only because she didn't want to deal with the youngest Saintia's crying. It was irritating. “…In either of those scenarios, that girl will still cry.”

~In the Saintias' Dining Room~

"Hey girls, I made you all some eggs to go with Chidori's toast kashira!"

Saya beamed. "Thanks Kanaria, you read my mind!"

"Of course, you're my bestie kashira!"

Allette took a bite out of the toast when she felt her fellow Saintias stare at her. How did they all enjoy this type of toast?! Did they enjoy lemon and salt too much?! She spat out her toast.

"It's salty and sour!"

@featherchan || Plotted starter

It was definitely what they call a 'wrong place, wrong time' situation. Because what were the odds of him running into Kanako, on a suspended bridge of all places, while being ambushed? And it was a cheap move... but highly predictable considering how perfect of an opportunity it was for their assailants.

Too perfect in fact, that for a split second, Hakkai did wonder if it was a set-up.

And oh did he shamefully fall for it, quite literally, as the ropes holding the bridge together were swiftly cut, sending him plunging into the river below. Luckily enough, there weren't any sharp rocks at the spot, but the situation could still take a turn for the worse should the fairly strong current sweep them right into one.

Frankly he was more concerned for the woman who was with him on the bridge, looking for her the moment he resurfaced. She wasn't far, thankfully, and he reached for her before scrambling to grab onto a rock by the riverbank. It was tricky, taking every ounce of strength he had, but managed to assist in getting them both out of the water.

"Are... you alright?" He spoke between pants and coughs, looking her over to assess her condition and prepare to act as needed.

@featherchan ﹙ 🎔 ﹚ᅳ cont.

All she can do is ( politely ) mask her giggles behind delicate hands as Kanako heroically defends her honor. Although she might never admit it aloud, it was this exact morning chaos that set her day on a great note. By the time Yuu manages to squeak out a little Thank you for coming! for Noburu, she's already ushered away with a few more giggles. As she passes Kanako, she bumps their shoulders together as gently as possible, nudging her with a warm smile.

❝ Thank you for the help, Kanako-chan! ❞ Yuu even gives her shoulder a little pat before heading back towards the kitchen, a slight skip to her step as she does. She can already hear the door's bells jingling against the glass as more customers start to come in for the breakfast rush. Her father seems just a little surprised she was in the kitchen, but wastes no time in having her help him along with some of the regular orders ahead of time. There's some idle and upbeat chatter than can be heard through the server window between Yuu and her father, dishes clattering the food being fried to add to the cacophony that was the restaurant's morning business.

After Yuu's served a few of the other regular incomers and taken the orders of the others, she makes a stop by Kanako and Noburu, smiling in and leaning into Kanako's side just a smidge.

❝ Want me to get you a drink while Kanako-chan helps? I'm headed back there for the coffee right now! ❞

[cartoonslackers]

@featherchan: stuck together.

"I KNEW I shouldn't have trusted you," Jack Spicer huffed, struggling in handcuffs. One of his wrists was locked tightly into one of the rings, and the other ring, well...was attached to Kanako.

"This was a simple, simple robbery...I should have TESTED you first. But now we're here, stuck together, and in this tiny room that is destroying my sanity by the second because I'm claustrophobic. And who knows what they'll do to us when those guys guarding the gem come back?"
