Summary: Alternate end to Koga's route, where Aki's offer is beginning to look a little bit more appealing
A/N: I know there's only like six of you in this fandom, but it's such a masterpiece I can't
Cw: Depression, major character death, spoilers for Koga's route
"I'm not your enemy, Y/N," Aki said firmly. "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."
He gestured to the scene playing out below you. With a suspicious glance at him, you walked to the edge of the roof, just in time to see Aizen run Koga through with a sword.
"No!" You screamed, and you could have sworn Koga smiled up at you before he collapsed and stopped moving.
Maybe it was your contract breaking, maybe it was your heart that you'd finally started letting your love for Koga make its way into, but you felt an immense pain and pressure, as the world around you faded.
You became dimly aware of Kuya flying to the roof, and wrapping his arms around you to fly you to somewhere safe, but you could only hear a dull ringing in your ears.
He'd taken you to the hidden shrine. And you'd just laid there curled in on yourself for days on end. You could hear Yura and Gaku trying to get through to you, and see Aoi feeding you something, but you never knew what they were saying.
Eventually, you heard a beautiful drum sound, and the world came clearer to you. Gaku sat in front of you, drumming what you could only assume was a healing song.
"Gaku?" You whispered, and you felt someone practically jump on you and wrap you in a hug.
"Y/N, I was so worried," Nachi whimpered. "It was like you were dead."
"Nachi, you're going to suffocate them," you heard Aoi protest, and Nachi backed away.
"In your previous lifetime, when thou wast our master, thou passed on before the rest of us," Yura said, giving you a soft reassuring smile. "I can only imagine the pain thou must have felt losing someone thine soul was bonded to."
"Koga," you whispered, your chest feeling tight as you tried to hold back tears.
"Aye," Gaku muttered, looking at you with sadness. "But you have to move forward, or the rest of us will lose you again."
Ginnojo placed a hand on yours. "Live for his memory and his cause, and he will always be with you."
You smiled at all of them gratefully.
"I think there's some things we need to rethink," you whispered, and watched them all nod solemnly. "Where's Kuya?" You asked, realizing the tengu was nowhere to be seen.
"We don't know," Aoi looked frustrated and scared all at once. "That lazy tengu disappeared after getting you to safety."
"He'll return once he is ready, worry not," Yura placed a gentle hand on your shoulder.
You nodded, and stood up, ignoring the protests of Nachi and Aoi.
You formed a familiar, and sent the butterfly on its way, before turning to your friends.
"There's some things we need to talk about."
….
You stood outside of the shrine, long after the sun had set. Finally, a white egret arrived, followed quickly by the appearance of Aki.
"Well," he raised a single eyebrow at you.
You held out a hand to him, which he took, giving it a gentle squeeze. Despite everything, his eyes said he still wanted your approval.
"We've all been talking," you said, as firmly as possible. "We're going to join your cause, Aki."
So... Does anyone do/know of someone who does translations for Ayakoi? At this point I'm used to my comfort games getting shut down but at least A3 JP still has a big fandom that does translations, not sure about ARR though 😭
October isn't the nicest to me in terms of gacha (I'm looking at you Hidaka who made me do 300 pulls for pity), but thanks to bells, I managed to at least awaken each of my stans once (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و)
How I think the ARR boys would react if you throw a cake at them
before we start, i haven't read much about the lore/ i forget most of them now. So some characters might be off character sorry.
reader/mc is gender neutral
Koga Kitamikado
Uh pretty good 6/10
Definitely would say he enjoys the fun and challenge (?)
100% would laugh at it.
-1000000 points if you throw a peach cake at him
Kuya
Ehh… 5/10
This could end in 2 ways
Bro definitely fly up if you throw it or he not was enough ( idk if he have a fast reflex)
The second outcome and the more likely. Wouldn't even care. He definitely would like the cream of his face then just fall asleep
-1 point cuz koga won't like the floor/ bed dirty
Aoi
-10/10
Mad as hell, you might get the silent treatment
Definitely made you clean up or help you clean up a bit.
+1 if he like you he will try to be kindish more and won't yell at you that much
Keyword: try
Ginnojo
4/10
Might be confused about what u doing
I say depends on your relationship, if you 2 close he might laugh it off (?) if not uh yeah. Might blushes if you clean up his face ( if you a woman )
i say he would
( Idk how to write him)
Yura
100/10
Would very like it
His brother don't so mins 10 points
Yura would say something like: " this cake is yummy or thou art a teaseing woman or something" ( I'm not good with old language )
100% would like the cream. All the cream of his face.
Might ask for some more.
Toichiro Yuri
-1/10 not good.
Mad definitely mad. But I think he might smile and laugh at it.
Not sure if he think this might be childish but ehhh.. maybe.
Gonna be a little shit about it.
+5 point if you help him pranks koga with peach.
100% would get revenge on you. Watch your back.
Shizuki
0/10 yeh
Might swap the tochiro point and shizuki point together idk.
Toichiro could like bring him booze and lock him and you togethers
He either have a good reflex and freeze the cake before it gets to him. Or he fail. Would say he pretty disappointed and will told you that you are imatured (?)
-100000 points if you tell that he fail to kagemaru.
Kuro
10000000/10
I love him
Would laugh at it like koga ( love his silly smile )
100% would lick the cream and taste it. 99% put some creams on your face as revenge. 1% stand for he no wanna hurt your pretty face <3
Enjoy the fun and might make a cake war with everyone ( Good luck )
He could like make a cake theme circus like some of the event and invite you guys in.
+100000000000 point cuz he is kuro and I love him part
Oji
7/10
"Young people/ youngster these days… " Or "I'm too old for this" He definitely said something related to that. You can't change my mind, I will take it down with my grave.
+1 point if you help clean the mess and his mess. He would rewards you with the Rice Omelet. if not i will say poor Aoi...
he might escape the cake war if he ran out and smoke before it stared.
Gaku
2/10 no.
Really don't. More no if you throw one at his brother. Even if yura like it. He doesn't tho.
-2 point if the cake is sweet.
Unless yura calm him down he will be hella mad.
Don't tell toichiro about this.
(idk what else)
Nachi
8/10 meow
I'm not sure if he like cake or not but it's you… Soo I suppose he doesn't mind much?
You better apologize with sardines.
Many many many many sardines
Don't tell anyone tho. Who does not want to be the "butt of everyone's joke"
Get it? :3
Kagemaru
Oh dear… You have guts 5/10
I say it's a 50/50 thing. In his profile he does like the strong.. idk if being bold like that is considered strong but.. you do you.
Um would ask a fight about it.
Idk if geisha allowed to make new ideas in the way to "seduce" customer but would add cake fight for the fun of it.
Like tochiro+10 points if you do it to shizuki.
Well he have 2 persona before the event and after so… ( Spoiler)
Aki ( before the event)
6/10
Say something like "a-ah! Oh it's you! Haha.. I never knew.! Don't do it again pls.. I hate being scared (?"
Uh yeah idk if he does say something like that I forgot but close to it.
Would be shy about it tho
All now for the evi one.
Akiyasu Kurahashi
0/10 yeah I think it kinda self explain.
But would ignore it. Or like uh used some onmyoij art to make it miss or something.
But imagine if it does hit him. Wouldn't care. Would get annoyed tho.
Tatsuomi Oyama
6/10 if you are like futuba not so bad.
But even if you are not. I say he still haddle it well. Not gonna yell or be mad he would be like normal.
+1 point if you give him some apologize gift like nachi.
Yakumo Koizumi
8/10
"My doll you are so interesting…" Something like that.
Not so sure if he hate cake or sweet or anything like that but yeah.
I say he wouldn't mind cuz it's.. you after all.
Maybe tiny bit minded that he have to change his clothes ( does he hate being dirty?? Idk)
Make him high cuz he like you better then anyone. If it's something else? Oh they be dead.
Kyonosuke Aizen
?/10 idk tbh but -1 point cuz his name is long as hell and I have a difficult time writing it.
I say he have good reflex and dodge it.
might called you childish
Yeah. Sorry. Idk tbh.
But would say he haddle it calm and collected. (maybe)
Mototaka Saotome
8/10 would only work if you see the reader as futaba or you see him as your father yourself. Cuz he best dad.
But would like some father and daughter/son( if you oc is a boy) moment
I don't think he would be mad at you. If you look at how he gone to business so much he would think it nice to got some moment like mentioned above.
