XV - The Devil

My piece for the @noragamitarotzine ! Back when we were just brainstorming ideas, I was very set on Kugaha as the devil... So of course I ended up being the one to draw this card :D

Leftover sales are afoot until dec 23rd, so if you want this bad boy and many more, you can get it still!!

Noragami Vol 6

[cxdemusings]

So, while Noragami is my current focus:

I can definitely understand how Kugaha felt. He felt the same way any other Shinki would who hasn't had their name called in ages. Neglected, forgotten.

Something that would hurt them anyway, as they'd be forgotten by time.

He definitely went about it wrong, working for Trash dad, planning to overthrow Bishamon so he could have a monopoly on her attention and affection(I'd make a note on how he was just a pot lid--but Kazuma started out as just a nail.)

The Gods, while some may be able to handle the emotional burden of multiple shinki--Bishamon is the prime example as to why Gods should keep their clans SMALL.

Yukine throws that in her face after finding out what happened to Suzuha, literally telling her that the Ha clan's family home(Bishamon's manor) is hell.

reading the noragami manga and got to suzuha's part and 😭😭😭😭

Memories of Noragami Day 1

I've been looking forward to this week! I conveniently JUST finished reading Noragami.

Day 1: The character(s) that had the most impact on you

Honestly, I feel all the characters impacted me in a different ways. But the most impact would be:

Yukine. His whole journey/arc is just divine. As someone who feels it so desperately when things are unfair he leapt off the page/screen to me. His story was threaded out so well, and the way he showed growing isn't linear, you get set back, but you can. still. grow. is beautiful.

2. Bishamon. My favorite characters, and people, will always be those who can admit their faults. For all of her brashness, and extensive weaponry, Bishamon is always very kind hearted and thinks deeply about her relationships, especially with her shinki. She recognizes after Kugaha that things need to change and works to make that happen. And she does her best to help Tsugaha, even after being told it won't be enough.

3. Hiyori Iki. Now here's a cool character! Honestly, I'm not normally drawn to main characters, but Hiyori has this infectious energy that drew me in. She also has an arc that is very important to me as someone who struggles with getting distracted by fantasy. Watching her plunge into the far shore world, despite alllllllll the warnings, and then slowly realize not only how dangerous it is but how she cannot mainly be part of that world hurt but mattered so much to me.

Hiyori and Fujisaki, Manga Coloring

"This is Yato's father. He's the one who used Kugaha to make Bishamon fall. The crafter who willfully murdered Ebisu-sama. The father... who's been making Yato kill people all this time."

Noragami, Chapter 48: You, My Dear One

[fictionkinfessions]

I miss my regalia so dearly... I'm eternally blessed to have Kazuma still by my side (I think I'd lose my mind otherwise), but everyone else... Tsuguha... Akiha, Aiha, Yugiha, Kinuha, Kazuha, Karuha. I at least have a friend who's kinsidering Kuraha? But, goodness, even Kugaha, and of course Suzuha- And all of the Ma clan, and the many in the Ha clan that I will never be allowed the names of. And... Nana.

I know it's silly. I know it means nothing now. But I do call your names. I call your names frequently. I adorn myself with things that remind me of you. My children, my precious shinki. I love you all, from the deepest depths of my heart. I miss you. I hope this life treats you well, and loves you more kindly than I knew how to when you were mine.

Please be well.

- Bishamonten, Noragami.

Quirkless Advantage

Chapter fourteen: Take me out on a date first

Warning: Lots and lots of cussing…..

———

These chapters are going to be stupid and short. Enjoy reading!

———

I drive home and get out of the car. I walk up the stairs to the apartment and open the door. I see Aizawa sitting on the couch and the empty to-go box on the coffee table. I go over to it and pick it up to throw it away.

He also got grilled cheese and tomato soup, what a coincidence.

As I go into the kitchen and throw it away, I hear Aizawa.

"So, how was your date?"

I go to my room and drop off my backpack, then I go back to the living room. "First of all, it wasn't a date," I say sitting next to him on the couch. "Second of all, it was fine. Haru owed me lunch because I missed lunch because of him," I say and he nods.

After about an hour or two, Aizawa gets up and stretches. "I'm going to bed. My class starts their internships tomorrow so I have to see them off," he says as he starts to walk towards his room.

They're already doing internships. Is it really that far into the anime? Wait... the...Hero Killer...Stain...Oh, no...

"Tell Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida to be careful," I say as Aizawa opens his door and he turns around confused. "Make sure to keep an eye on Iida especially," I say and he nods his head in understanding. He knows that I can't say everything.

When he shuts his door I sigh and move on the couch so my back is resting on the arm rest and my legs are laying across the rest of the couch. I lean back with my arms stretching on either side of my head.

My back has been killing me for some reason.

I hear my phone go off and I sigh loudly as I move up to reach for my phone that is on my lap.

Him...again...

"So about that date," Dabi text says.

"What about it?" I text back.

"How about we go somewhere in two days?' He responds.

"Sure, but I'm not going somewhere unless I know what that somewhere is," I text back and wait.

After a couple of seconds he finally responds, "It's somewhere in Hosu city."

No... not there...that's where all of that happens. Maybe if we go there during the day.

"Ok, but where in Hosu city and what time?" I finally text back.

"Meet me at the coffee shop at 3. Then I'll tell you where we are going," he responds.

I shake my head and text back, "Yeah no, not going to work. Tell me first."

"Don't you trust me?"

I laugh out loud, "I would rather trust Izaya Orihara from Durarara than ever trust you."

"I don't understand that reference."

"Well, I would rather trust Orochimaru from Naruto than ever trust you."

"I don't know that reference either."

I sigh, "You uncultured swine," I say to myself.

"Ok then, I would rather trust Kugaha from Noragami than ever trust you."

"Wow, you think I'm worse than that guy? That hurts."

I smirk, "You read the book that I was going to buy. Well, I guess more than the first one because he doesn't appear until later."

"I guess it wasn't too young for me."

I laugh quietly and finally get off the couch. I walk to my room and shut the door.

"Well, I'm going to bed. I'll see you in two days," I text.

He leaves me on read.

Typical boy...

—

The next day was normal. Went to school, talked to Haru... well, more like Haru talked to me, went to work after school, and went home.

I have no idea what to wear for our, ...I hate that I'm going to say this, ...date. I don't even know where we are going to go. Great job Tsuna...That's definitely not a little worrisome. It's just going somewhere that you don't know with someone that you barely know and the thing you do know about him is that he's a villain that has hurt and definitely killed multiple people...Yeah, great job Tsuna, you know how to pick them.

You know what? I'm going to wear whatever the fuck I want. Screw him...not anytime soon... but I wouldn't mind... ANYWAYS, back to figuring out what to wear.

I pick out a light pink shirt, blue overalls, and my signature yellow rain boots. My hair is getting in my way of trying to get the straps of the overalls over my shoulders.

I should really get a haircut soon.

Not wanting to deal with my hair anymore, I put it up in two buns on the top of my head.

Isn't that hairstyle called space buns or something? I think so.

I grab my phone from my bed to check the time and see that it is 2:40. "Shit!" I say running out of my room and to the front door. "Where are you going?" Aizawa asks me from the kitchen. "I'm going out with a friend," I say, putting on my boots. Aizawa only responds by saying ok and I run out of the door.

I can't use the car since Aizawa has to use it today so I took the bus to the coffee shop. I arrive late and see Dabi leaning against the wall of the building. He's looking down at the ground, and every once in a while he checks his phone, only to sigh afterwards.

I try to walk quietly towards him.

"You're late," Dabi says before I get close to him. He doesn't look up, "I thought that you were going to not come." "No, I was trying to figure out what to wear actually," I say and he looks up. "Cute outfit," he says smirking. I walk closer to him, "So, where exactly are we going?" "Well, like I said before," he says and starts walking with me, "We are going somewhere that is in Hosu city." "Yeah, I already know that," I look over at him and roll my eyes, "I guess I'm not going to be able to get an answer out of you." Dabi looks over at me and smirks, "Nope."

We get on a train that takes us to Hosu City.  I think it is the same train that will get attacked later tonight. We get off the train after about thirty minutes. We walk down the street and stop in front of a building.

It's an arcade.

I look over at Dabi, "You are taking me to an arcade?" "Yup," He nods and opens the door for me.

The arcade looks like it wasn't updated since it was built. It mostly had the original arcade games with some new ones. Dabi surprisingly buys us both tokens and hands half to me.

"So, what game do you want to play first?" Dabi asks and I shrug.

I suddenly see Pac-man in the back corner and run over to it. I hear Dabi walking behind me. "Well, I guess you made up your mind. I bet you I will have a higher score than you," Dabi says. "Oh don't get too cocky. I bet you 50 dollars that I will win," I say, putting my hand out for him to shake to seal the deal. He takes my hand and instead of shaking it, he yanks my hand towards himself. Because of the force, my chest is against his. "Deal," he says, letting go. He moves to the game, "I'm going first." I don't say anything and just wait until he is done.

It takes him about 30 minutes until he loses.

"There's no way that you are going to beat that score. I'm at the top of the scoreboard," Dabi says and I roll my eyes. "Like I said before," I lean in closer, my face a few centimeters away from his, "Don't get too cocky."

It takes me about 30 minutes to beat him.

"How the fuck are you so good at this game?" He asks and I smirk. "Because...I'm a natural," I say. He looks at me like he doesn't believe me and I laugh. "I used to practice all the time so I could beat my parents at it," I say.

"You know everything about my past but I don't know anything about you. I believe it's only fair if we know each other's pasts," Dabi says. "There's not much to say," I say walking away from Pac-man and to a random game that I don't recognize. "Both my mom and dad are alive and together still. I have a little sister. Oh, and I have a cat," I say starting the game. He goes to the game next to me that is the same game.

"Do you miss your parents?" Dabi asks and I hesitate to play the game so it makes me lose. "Yes," I hesitate to say. "Do you miss your family?" I ask and he stops moving and looks at me. "You know the answer to that," he says. I shake my head, "Actually no, I don't," I say and he sighs. "Sometimes," He finally says. "I don't even know if my family knows that I'm gone," I say sadly. "I'm sure they do. You are too... well, you... for them to not notice you are gone," He says smirking at me.

Him and his stupid smirking.

After a couple of minutes, we started to continue to play again. Dabi beats me at all of the newer two person shooter games but I beat him at the older type of games. I decide to look at the time after a couple of hours and notice that it is late. "We should go. I need to get home before it gets too late," I say and he nods. We walk out of the arcade and start walking down the street. I notice that it is dark outside. Great...

Dabi stops suddenly and pulls me behind a building.

I feel like I'm getting deja vu.

My back is against the wall and Dabi is hovering over me. "What the hell-" I start to say but he stops me with his hand over my mouth. "Be quiet," He whispers, "There's a lot of pro heroes out for some reason." He releases his hand from my mouth. I try to hit his shoulder but before I can, he grabs my wrist and pins it down to the wall next to the side of my body.

He gets closer.

"Really? This again?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. "Well, don't try to hit me then," Dabi says a few centimeters away from me. "What are you doing? I thought that there were heroes out right now so wouldn't it be smarter for us to go right now?" I ask and he nods his head. "Yes, but we're fine if they can't see us." He says and lets go of my hand.

He leans his head in closer.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

I know what he's doing...

"Take me out on a date first. That's what you said and I did," he says.

"Yes, I did say that, but no to that," I say and gently push him back. He sighs but says ok and steps back.

"I really need to get home," I say and he nods.

I start to walk out from behind the building but stop.

"Fuck it," I whisper to myself and turn back around.

Before I think too much about it, I walk up to him and put my lips on his right cheek. I lean back to look up at him and smirk when I see his eyes wide. "You actually thought I was going to actually kiss you on the lips," I say smirking. "Don't you think we would be going a little too fast?" I say teasingly.

He just stands there shocked, not saying anything.

I just walk away.

Bishamon's Shinki Calling Out to Her

[quino7]

I’m like 2/3 of the way through Noragami and it’s a solid 6-7/10 and a lot of what makes it good happens in the first 20-30 chapters. Like the whole Yukine stinging and the Kugaha / Kazuma arcs were both amazing. But it goes so far downhill after those.

Like I just finished the whole heaven rebellion with Vasra-Viina, and the arc was so hard to read. Part of it is probably my fault because I’m not aware of any of the folklore involved, but a lot of it is the arc just jumping around from plot point to plot point and it gave me whiplash. Like they’ve got this weird soulmate thing where Yato is being creepy, and then Hiyori is just wandering a forest while Yato’s dad is watching. Vasraviina is releasing a stray from their eternal prison and giving them a name and just starts going to kill the other gods, which fits her character, and then Yato gets involved and it’s just flashback after flashback with like a page of action inbetween to make it more confusing, and they’ve got flashbacks between different flashbacks and it’s so hard to read. Like I’m so invested in Yato’s past as a god of calamity, but no, every time something is revealed it’s done super cryptically and foreshadows a bunch of stuff, so even the stuff that seems irrelevant, like Oukis reincarnation, probably means something like 20 chapters later. And for some reason Yato’s dad is orchestrating a bunch of this and there’s the Amaterasu trial thing and I’m just so lost now.
