[milaisreading]

Toddler manager said bad word and everyone get insane because they will absolutely choke the one who make her said that word. Pls

Author: hope u find the way I wrote this alright! Thank you for the request and for reading🩷

Warnings: Reader uses she/her. Requests are open.

⚽️Blue Lock belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura ⚽️

"I am just saying..." Aryu started off dramatically as Barou rolled his eyes, along with Rin.

"It's my turn to play with her." The long haired boy finished, moving the 2-year old (Y/n) out of their reach.

"Aryu, put her down. You know very well its my turn." Rin glared.

"Since when? You played with her for 2 hours yesterday, it's my turn." Barou interjected. (Y/n) kept silent as she focused her attention on Tokimitsu, who was playing peekaboo with her.

"I am here, and then I am not." The boy laughed as she clapped her hands while smiling.

"Shouldn't I be the one to play with her now?" Nagi looked up from his food.

"Play? You will probably fall asleep and forget she is there." Niko rolled his eyes.

"Aryu, we are teammates, so we should share the playtime-"

"No." The long haired boy said, glaring at Barou and Niko for even suggesting that.

Snuffy and Chris were laughing at their antics from a few tables away, while Noa was disciplining Kaiser and Isagi, who got into an argument.

"Where did Lavinho go?" Loki wondered, keeping an eye on Karasu and Rin, just in case they started an argument.

"Lavinho went to get Hayate and Miroku, we have to practice." Otoya grumbled, a little bummed that he can't take (Y/n) with him.

"I still think kidnapping-"

"No, Bachira." Snuffy cut him off.

"Shouldn't we give her something to eat before you play with her, Aryu?" Yukimiya suggested.

"Yep! I will go and ask Teieri-san if she knows where the baby food is." Hiori volunteered. Kurona said nothing as he showed his teeth to (Y/n) again, who was clapping and laughing at them. Meanwhile Gagamaru was patting her head a little.

"Don't destroy her glamorous hair." Aryu warned.

"Calm down, Aryu." Chigiri added from another table.

"It's really calm today with them." Chris commented to Snuffy.

"Let's hope it stays that way." Noa sighed as him and Loki approached their table.

"I feel like we don't have to worry about much today." Snuffy smiled, taking his glass of water.

While the coaches were talking, Hiori came back with the food and walked over to where (Y/n) and the rest were.

"Ah! You found it!" Isagi exclaimed as him and Kaiser approached the table.

"Great, I will feed her then." The blonde said, earning protests from the rest.

"You will drop her on her head." Rin rolled his eyes.

"Let me do it instead." Barou said.

"I will do it! I will do it!" Kurona's words were heard.

"I-I can do it too, you know." Tokimitsu said, trying to take (Y/n) out of Aryu's hold.

Kunigami rolled his eyes and looked at the child-sized manager for a moment.

"Just feed her. She is probably too hungry to care who does it, right?" Kunigami asked, smiling down at (Y/n). There was a short silence as the girl blinked up at Kunigami, and while watching them, Noa felt like a headache will hit him soon.

"Fuck..." The tiny girl said, causing the boys to either gasp or make a double take at her.

"What?!" Rin yelled.

"Fu...ck...." The girl looked at Rin, confused with his reaction.

"No! Bad word, (Y/n)!" Chris yelled, running over to the group as Snuffy started chocking on his water.

"I knew something would happen." Noa said as Loki tried to calm the Italian coach down.

"Give her to me." Chris said, taking (Y/n) out of Aryu's hold, looking at the girl like a heartbroken man.

"No, (Y/n)! Bad word! You can't say that!" Chris scolded her lightly.

"Fuck!" She repeated, laughing as Chris's face turned red in anger. Noa walked over to Chris and took (Y/n) out of his arms, knowing that he is about to blow up at the Blue Lock team.

"Fuck!" (Y/n) kept on repeating as Loki and Snuffy walked over to Noa.

"Shhhh!" Loki told her, shaking a little as he saw the pissed off look on Chris.

"Where did you learn that word now, little lady?" Snuffy raised his eyebrow, patting her head as Noa kept his attention on Chris.

"Hold it!" The Frenchman said, stopping the Welsh coach as he was about to yell.

"Th-thank you, Noa-san-" Reo started, but was cut off by the same man.

"No, not that. Snuffy, cover up her ears." The Italian caught onto what was going on and covered (Y/n)'s ears up. She blinked a few times and started giggling at him.

"Alright." Noa gave a nod of approval, ignoring the betrayed looks his team was sending him.

"You little brats!!! I will make you run 300 laps for this!!!" The blonde said, causing even the least emotional members to shake in fear.

"Karasu, Rin, what did you two do? Spit it out." Loki smiled at the two, who now started to stutter.

"We didn't do anything!" Karasu yelled, face paling from Loki's glare.

"I would never curse in front of her!" Rin added in.

"Don't yell, you two." Loki warned.

"S-sorry." The two stuttered.

"What about Tokimitsu?! Why are we the only ones accused of teaching her that?!" Karasu said, pointing at the nervous boy.

"M-me?! I swear I didn't do anything!" Tokimitsu said, looking at Loki. The French coach raised his eyebrow and looked back at Karasu.

"Seriously?"

"Niko, Aryu, Barou." The three Ubers members tensed up and looked at Snuffy, immediately aware of what was going on now.

"Hold on! I did nothing! I always keep my bad words to myself when (Y/n) is around!" Barou yelled at the coach.

"Cursing isn't glamorous, Snuffy-san." Aryu said, flipping his hair, earning a few claps from Tokimitsu.

"For legal reasons, I can't curse." Niko said simply as Snuffy massaged his temple. (Y/n) laughed at the man and stretched her arms out, demanding from the man to take her, which he ended up doing.

"See, this is why boys are stupid, little lady." Snuffy said slowly, sending side glares at the three boys.

"Isagi, Kunigami, Kaiser, Gagamaru, Yukimiya, Hiori, Kurona." The boys tensed and looked at the oddly calm Noa. The man was looking his normal calm and collected self, but his eyes shined in pure rage.

"We didn't do it!!" Isagi immediately protested.

"I never curse in front of (Y/n) when she is her normal age, why would I do it now?" Yukimiya added in.

"Me neither! I swear!" Hiori and Kunigami defended themselves, a little terrified of the older man.

"The only things I talk with (Y/n) about are the things I see in the woods." Gagamaru answered timidly.

"Neither did I teach her that. I don't curse. Kaiser, you have been awfully quiet, though." Kurona said, now all the attention being on the blonde.

"Hold it! I didn't say this either!" The German defended. Chigiri, Reo, and Nagi looked at each other and then at the clearly pissed off Chris.

"Before you start. It wasn't me." Nagi blinked.

"No curse words left my mouth either." Reo followed.

"A negative from me, too." Chigiri yawned.

While they were arguing, the door to the lunch room opened and inside walked Ness, Lavinho, and Lorenzo, looking at the chaos in confusion.

"What is going on?" Ness muttered, walking to the German team.

"Ome of your teammates taught (Y/n) how to curse." Noa said, earning protests from them.

"Or was it you, Ness?" The Frenchman glared at the magenta-eyed boy.

"No, I would never swear in front of a girl." Ness quickly added, a little worried. He never saw Noa this mad.

(Y/n) had now turned her attention to Lavinho and laughed, pointing at him.

"Fuck! Fuck!" She started, while pointing at the Brazilian. Chris was heard shrieking at that and Ness fainted from the shock.

"So it was you, Lavinho?!" Bachira and Otoya yelled, shocked that their own coach taught (Y/n) that word. The Brazilian chuckled a little, angering the coaches more.

"Well, she catches on quickly." He joked.

"Don't make jokes!"

"This isn't funny!"

"My poor child!"

Lavinho rolled his eyes at Noa, Loki, and Chris's words.

"You guys are being dramatic."

"Shut up!"

Snuffy sighed and called Lorenzo over.

"Watch over her while we hash this out."

Snuffy instructed the younger as (Y/n) jumped into his arms, hugging Lorenzo tightly.

"Sure thing. Come on, I think we should put you to sleep. It's past noon." Lorenzo said, holding (Y/n) tightly as he walked out of the lunch room, leaving Lavinho at the mercy of the pissed off coaches and Blue Lock team.

Temptation Towards Apoptosis - Track 05

L4mps 1st Feature Event

This chapter is translated by me!

CW: Body Horror

This chapter includes body horror of teeth. If you do not wish to read this part of the chapter, please skip from "…Hmph. Fine, then." till "labored gasping" to avoid such content. However, if you wish to read, please read with caution.

Location: Aomori - Miroku Yokocho

Morozumi: Glad to make your acquaintance. My name is Morozumi Miura. Feel free to call me Morozumi. This ‘ere’s my business card… 

Chief: Thank you, and here’s mine… 

Morozumi: Ooh, the Chief of HAMA Tours, ey? HAMA’s been the talk o’ the town lately, seein’ as it’s getting all sortta attention as a designated tourism district. 

Chief: We’re honored to hear that. And you are…

Chief: …A “spirit lawyer?”

Morozumi: You bet. I make contracts with ‘em spirits, like the one on top of yer ride so we can all live fine and dandy together and whatnot… 

Morozumi: They cross a line, I exorcise ‘em. That's the kinda job I do… I mean.

Morozumi: Ah… Pardon the accent. Standard Japanese ain’t really my ballpark… 

Chief: That’s alright. 

Yodaka: Some of my customers have talked about such a world existing, but I’d never thought I’d meet someone from that profession. It’s quite an honor. 

Morozumi: Believers are few and far between after all.

Daniel: (I can see why.)

Nagi: I see… So, how much for the pot?

Ryui: Huh?

Netaro: Aha~! I understand now. This is one of those spiritual scams~!

Ryui: …You bastards. You tryin’ to call him a fraud? Don’t you dare mock him.

Nagi: Not at all. Those strange tremors stopped right after Morozumi-san appeared after all… 

Yodaka: That did indeed happen.

Nagi: I figured someone with actual powers would have the real Pot of Fortune with him, so really, I asked because I do believe him.

Daniel: How’d you figure that?

Netaro: Aha! So if he has the pot, he’d be much more convincing!

Morozumi: Sorry ta burst yer bubble, but I don’ like usin’ ‘em cursed tools all that much.

Netaro: Whyyy~?

Ryui: Knock it off already. Morozumi-san, you should talk back more.

Morozumi: Ain’t a problem. This is just the usual.

Ryui: But… 

Morozumi: Ya know full well how hard it is ta convince someone elsewise when they’ve got an idea set in their noggin’.

Ryui: …

Ryui: …Well, I guess anyone that doesn’t know is better off that way.

Nagi: So, about that pot… 

Astaroth: …

Chief: Oh, you’re awake, Toi-kun. You ended up falling back asleep after Morozumi-san arrived, so we thought it was best not to wake you up— 

Astaroth: I was having a conversation with Toi.

Ryui: ! You– You’ve taken over Toi again…! 

Astaroth: I sense a rat with an unfamiliar scent. Ryui, are you the one who brought him along?

Morozumi: Ohh, well I’ll be. This one’s a ‘nother level fer sure. A big ‘un.

Astaroth: …Ha! You are beneath me, do not speak of me.

Morozumi: Morozumi Miura, at yer service.

Astaroth: I suppose you are the one that put the idea of “contracts” into Ryui’s skull?

Morozumi: Prolly. After all, I ain’t the type to let an outlaw go, no matter how big they might be.

Astaroth: HAHA, truly a restrictive ideology. You must know that taboos* are meant to be destroyed.

Chief: (...? What are they talking about…)

Morozumi: Ryui, ya came here ta Aomori so ya could figure out how ta deal with this ‘un?

Ryui: …Yeah. I wanna know where it came from, and how to get Toi out of its clutches.

Astaroth: You wish to “liberate” him? Kuku…! 

Astaroth: HAAHAHAHA!

Daniel: Ah— Morozumi-san? Sorry ‘bout that, he’s at that age y’see… 

Morozumi: Nah, the little guy’s possessed by a high-ranking demon. Ain’t that why he can see all far into the future and stuff?

Yodaka and Nagi: …

Chief: …They’re actually real?

Ryui: That’s what I’ve been saying from the start. 

Daniel: (Not sure I believe it…)

Morozumi: Ryui, ya remember the night ya made a contract with this demon?

Ryui: Yeah… The day I ran out of the izakaya and went back home. 

Morozumi: There’s somethin’ I forgot to tell ya that day.

Morozumi: That Oshisha-sama that the Shiramitsu family have been worshippin’ all this time is actually a god native to this area… 

Netaro: Native. In other words, one of the infinitely many gods of the land.

Ryui: But the reality is that it’s actually a demon. I know that already.

Morozumi: Nah, keep a cool head and listen will ya… As I was sayin’... 

Morozumi: ‘Em Shiramitsu were worshippin’ the real deal at first, but at some point in time they were swapped out with this demon instead.

Ryui: …!?

Yodaka: Swapped…?

Ryui: (Y’mean the shitty demon wasn’t just faking the name…?)

Chief: Err, so Oshisha-sama isn’t actually Oshisha-sama…?

Nagi: Thank you for simplifying the explanation. Though I still don’t really get it. 

Ryui: Wait, so where’s the real Oshisha now?

Morozumi: Yeah, that’s what I wanna know too.. If the old god were here, I reckon we could save yer brother.

Astaroth: … 

Morozumi: You… What’d ya do to the other god?

Astaroth: Who knows?

Ryui: Fucker… 

Morozumi: Haha, well figured it wouldn’t be no walk in the park.

Ryui: Morozumi-san, um… 

Morozumi: I got it, I’ll look into it. So dun sour yer face like that, it’ll be alright.

Ryui: …I owe you one.

Morozumi: Well then, best if I leave fer now. Sorry ‘bout all that folks.

Chief: Not at all! I’m glad we got to meet the person Ryui-kun was looking for.

Ryui: Bye… See you later. 

Morozumi: Mm— Oh yeah, one more thing.

Ryui: ?

Morozumi: Here, my business card. Ya lost it dintcha. Next time ya can just call me up, aight? 

Ryui: …Saw right through me, huh. 

Morozumi: Also, the eyepatch suits ya.

Ryui: !

Ryui: What’s with you all of a sudden… 

Yodaka: Ryui is… 

Nagi: Blushing. 

Ryui: Shut up. Don’t look.

Netaro: How unscientific… Demons, really~?

Chief: (...If I remember correctly, Oshisha was supposed to possess Ryui-kun and not Toi-kun…)

~~~(flashback)

Netaro: Possession, meaning a spirit, or perhaps a god, takes over the body, is that it? How terribly unscientific~ I’m certain it’s an Alter Ego cooked up by Toi’s brain—

Ryui: It’s not like I expected any of you to get it!! The Shiramitsu family has been fucked up for generations. It’s not something a regular person would understand.

Ryui: Anyways, whatever it is that’s trying to hurt him, I’ll send it packing. Absolutely anything and everything…!

Ryui: I have to protect Toi from that shitty demon…! 

Location: Aomori - Miroku Yokocho

Ryui: …I’ve said this already but, this has nothing to do with you all. This is a matter of my family’s shame. 

Chief: Ryui-kun… 

Netaro: Even after all we heard?

Ryui: Yeah, sorry ‘bout that. Must’ve been a pain to listen to. Not to mention a waste of time, too.

Ryui: (Getting involved with our family just leads to rotten luck.)

Nagi: …

Location: ?

Toi: Hmhm~♪ Poppin’ forever~♪ Popping once, popping twice~

Toi: Twisting and crushing… It’s so much fun.

Astaroth: …

Toi: *sigh* Now I’m hungry… 

Toi: Hey, A-chama. It’s okay to eat anything as long as it’s red, right? 

Astaroth: Correct.

Toi: And garlic?

Astaroth: Out of the question. 

Toi: Red, huh. Apples, any red meats, akatonbo*… 

Toi: …

Toi: Hey, it’s time to swap who gets the TV!

Astaroth: …

Toi: A-chama, swap with me! I want to play an otome game!

Astaroth: …

[CW: Teeth body horror starts here]

Toi: …Hmph. Fine, then. 

Toi: I’m gonna eat all the liver paste in this jar until you swap with me.

Toi: Mm… slurp, nyam… 

Toi: (But wait, who brought this here in the first place?)

Toi: Whatever! As long as it’s tasty—

*crunch*

Toi: Ouch! Did something just crack…?

*plink*

Toi: Huh… 

Toi: My tooth— 

*plink plink plink*

Toi: Ah…aaah…! No…! 

Toi: (My teeth keep falling out…!!)

*plink*

Toi: What is this…!? Please, I don’t like this…!! Stop it…!

Astaroth: You are changing. Your form will continue to change, quite rapidly at that.

Toi: No… Nononononononononononono…!!

Astaroth: A metamorphosis so that you may emerge as my flesh!

Toi: NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Location: Hotel - Room

Toi: !!

Toi: *labored gasping*

[CW: Teeth body horror ends here]

*sound of running water*

Toi: (The sound of the shower…)

Toi: (That’s right, Ani-sama is taking a bath… We’re at the hotel in Hirosaki… When did I fall asleep…?)

Toi: (...My teeth are all there.)

Toi: Thank goodness… It was just a dream— 

Toi: …No.

Toi: My hands and my mouth are all… sticky… 

Notes:

Astaroth says "taboo" in place of rules, which is written in furigana above the kanji 禁 which stands for ban/prohibition.

Akatonbo is a nickname for Hiru-Ika (daytime squid) which is a type of Surume-Ika (Japanese common squid). The nickname cropped up in Aomori because the logo on the shipping boxes depict a red aircraft (Miss Veedol) which resembled a red dragonfly, which is what Akatonbo stands for.

In case there's confusion about Astaroth "borrowing" Oshisha's name, Ryui seemed to believe the Shiramitsu were worshipping a demon disguised as a god from the start, but has just found out Astaroth in fact had direct involvement with the disappearance of the original god, and took their place, hence the surprise.

In the 2X century, the habitable environment of planet Earth steadily vanished as a result of environmental contamination. After losing their planet, humans started searching the universe for a new home, but there was a fierce competition for dominance. The Gaia Empire, who dominated the universe, and the rebel Re:EVOL were still engaged in offensive and defensive combat.  In charge of the 1st Pterosaur Special Service Battalion, Tomohisa, and Goshi, who is in charge of Protection Division Theropod Unit 01, are Empire soldiers who engage in continuous combat with the Resistance. At that moment, Yuduki suffered an injury in the Resistance assault and slipped into unconsciousness—

Scene 1

GOSHI: B-PROJECT Supernova

NARRATOR: In the 2X century, the habitable environment of planet Earth steadily vanished as a result of environmental contamination. After losing their planet, humans started searching the universe for a new home, but there was a fierce competition for dominance. The Gaia Empire, who dominated the universe, and the rebel Re:EVOL were still engaged in offensive and defensive combat. 

—

*Laser sounds*

AKANE: I'm so tired——

GOSHI: You are too lazy.

YUTA: That's what you say, but the training menu you made, Gochin, is too challenging!

GOSHI: Gochin?!

YUTA: Hey, hey! Cap–tain!

AKANE: Goshi is the reason why our team's performance surpasses that of other teams.

MIROKU: Our bodies can only show results through consistent day-to-day training and development over time.

KENTO: Nevertheless, it still baffles me that they allowed Goshi to serve as captain. 

GOSHI: Huh? What do you mean by that?

KENTO: I meant exactly what I said. You are neither α type nor β type, right?

GOSHI: What's the problem with that?

*draws sword*

KENTO: Only those with noble bloodlines like α or β are allowed to wield this sword. But you can't use it, though. Can someone like that serve as a captain? Hah!

GOSHI: Bloodline has no bearing on it. I have this even if I can’t use the blade.

HARUHI: Ah, it's a special fighting axe that only Goshi-kun is capable of wielding!

YUDUKI: So cool.

GOSHI: By the way, Aizome, aren't you the honorable α-sama? How come you can't even do this standard training that even ordinary people can complete?

KENTO: That's because your training plan is too inefficient and I don't have the motivation to do it.

GOSHI: Oh? Really now?

KENTO: Then I can show why the α bloodline is far more valuable…

GOSHI: Oh yeah? Show it to me!

YUTA: Okay, STOP! Both of you, stop arguing. Friends can't fight!

AKANE: True enough, Re:EVOL could attack unexpectedly at any moment, so avoid fighting right now…

YUTA: We have been assigned the task of battling to keep the universe in order, isn't that correct? 

GOSHI: Tsk. *sighs* Finish the rest of the training plan. Don't slack off.

KENTO: What a condescending tone.

YUTA: Sheesh, Kenken, don't irritate Gochin again!

KENTO: He was the one who provoked me first!

MIROKU: Kaneshiro-san… As expected, he still cares about that.

AKANE: You mean...About Goshi not knowing what his blood type is?

MIROKU: Yeah, only those with α or β bloodlines can join the Imperial Army, and yet–

HARUHI: But Goshi-kun still surpasses everyone else, he is really amazing!

YUDUKI: Yeah. Since the academy's founding, he has been the most exceptional graduate.

YUTA: Yeah, that's right! For me, Gochin is a captain that I’m proud of!

—

TOMOHISA: The 1st Pterosaur Special Service Battalion has arrived to see you.

COMMANDER: You have arrived. Well then, what did you gather?

TOMOHISA: I apologise profusely.

KAZUNA: We have yet to acquire any valuable information.

COMMANDER: What are you dithering about? When will we comprehend the mastermind of Re:EVOL?

HIKARU: Oh shoot, the Commander looks so angry.

RYUJI: There is nothing we can do. After all, we have been helpless against Re:EVOL.

TATSUHIRO: The rebels. Re:EVOL. They always show up out of nowhere and attack the imperial army's bases. They are a mysterious organization.

MIKADO: Everything is shrouded in mystery, and their leader always wears an iron mask over his face. 

COMMANDER: Hey, what are you talking about in secret over there?

RYUJI, MIKADO, TATSUHIRO & HIKARU: Nothing! There’s nothing!

MOMOTARO: Commander.

COMMANDER: What's the matter?

MOMOTARO: According to huge data analysis, Re:EVOL may attack 1221 points next time…

COMMANDER: Are you sure?

MOMOTARO: It is very likely.

COMMANDER: Fine, get on with the analysis. Also, as quickly as you can, eliminate Re:EVOL! Got it?

*doors closing*

RYUJI: What the heck was that? That arrogant way of speaking——

KAZUNA: Ryuji, they can hear you.

RYUJI: But—!

MIKADO: Indeed, the high-ranking officials have been a little too much lately.

TATSUHIRO: I've heard that some individuals oppose them, while others even back Re:EVOL…

HIKARU: But I can understand their feelings. In comparison, the Imperial Army is the bad guy.

TOMOHISA: Hikaru, be careful, the walls have ears,  exercise caution when speaking.

HIKARU: Ah, sorry, Captain!

MIKADO: But then again, who is the leader of Re:EVOL?

—

Scene 2

HIKARU: Yikes! Is the meal today still Bloodmate? I'm sick of it. It's dry and will suck all the moisture out of my mouth.

TATSUHIRO: It can’t be helped.

MIKADO: Yes. This is to maintain the purity of our blood.

HIKARU: I know, I know. Ah, Peachan's food! Let me have a bite!

MOMOTARO: Hmm?

HIKARU: Ah~ Hmm~ *gulps* Delicious~~~~

MOMOTARO: Really.

HIKARU: But it seems to taste different from mine.

MIKADO: α+, α, α-, β+, β. Different bloodlines hence they use different ingredients.

RYUJI: I am α type, so it tastes the same as Momo.

MOMOTARO: Yeah.

KAZUNA: Mikado and I are both β+ types, so ours taste the same.

MIKADO: That's right.

HIKARU: Hey, hey! You guys are the same, and I'm envious! Ah, let me have a bite of the Captain's~~

TOMOHISA: Mine?

HIKARU: Because the captain is an α+ type. The highest level bloodmate must be the most delicious!

TOMOHISA: *chuckles* Okay, here you go.

HIKARU: Great! I'm gonna eat! Ah~ Ah~ Hmm?

RYUJI: I'm a little curious too. Let me have some too~

TOMOHISA: Please, go ahead.

RYUJI: Ah~

MIKADO: Could you please give me a taste as well to quench my curiosity? ….Ah~ Ah~ Hmm?

TOMOHISA: How is it? Is it delicious?

HIKARU: Hmm…How should I put it…

RYUJI: This…

MIKADO: It’s…completely tasteless.

RYUJI: Tomo, do you eat this every day?

TOMOHISA: It’s quite delicious once you get used to it. One could describe it as having a dense flavour…

KAZUNA: I can feel the subtle taste…It seems that Tomohisa has an extremely delicate sense of taste.

RYUJI: It seems too extreme, a bit perverted.

YUTA: Ah~Ryuchan~!!

RYUJI: Ah, Yuta, your voice is too loud. Have you finished training too?

YUTA: Yup, we are going to have lunch together.

HIKARU: You’ve worked hard~ Let’s eat together.

HARUHI: Then we’ll sit down here.

YUTA: What were you talking about?

MIKADO: We were discussing how the taste of Bloodmate is different for each person.

HARUHI: Yes, it is indeed different. Eating the same flavor every day would make me feel bored, so I often exchange it with Yuduki—

YUDUKI: Haru. That is a secret.

HARUHI: Ah!

MIROKU: It is not a good idea to trade because everyone must eat food that is appropriate for their blood type.

TATSUHIRO: Even if they are twins, their bloodlines are different.

HARUHI: Yes. I am type α.

YUDUKI: I am type β.

RYUJI: I see.

HIKARU: Wait, wait a minute, isn’t that too much?

AKANE: Um, this? We usually eat this much…

MOMOTARO: It is three times ours... No, it is more than five times.

YUTA: Because I just received high-intensity training. How can I not eat so much?

RYUJI: The work content of the 1st Pterosaur Special Service Battalion and the Protection Division Theropod Unit 01 is completely different.

MIKADO: While our 1st Pterosaur Special Service Battalion is primarily in charge of intelligence operations and battle strategies, the Protection Division Theropod Unit 01’s mission is security and combat.

MIROKU: We compete by using our physical prowess.

TOMOHISA: Training with Goshi is as challenging as ever.

KAZUNA: By the way, where's Goshi?

KENTO: That guy is acting alone again.

YUTA: Hmm~ Ah, I saw him! At the edge of the cafeteria. Hey, Gochin~!!

HARUHI: Ah, he looked over here.

YUDUKI: But he turned his head away again.

YUTA: Hmph. What a lone wolf.

HIKARU: What does Kanechin eat for lunch?

YUDUKI: I don't know. Kaneshiro-san usually eats alone.

HIKARU: Wow, that makes me even more curious.

TATSUHIRO: Why?

HIKARU: Because Kanechin is neither α-type nor β-type.

MOMOTARO: Indeed.

MIKADO: In that case, he might be eating something unrelated to Bloodmate.

HIKARU: Since we are curious, we can only act. Operation Attack.

YUTA: Okay!

HARUHI: GOSHI-kun

GOSHI: Uh, what are you doing?

HIKARU: Ambushing you. Have lunch next to us—-

GOSHI: Huh?

YUTA: Wow——

GOSHI: What?

YUTA: Gochin's lunch is curry!

AKANE: Golden curry cooked slowly, topped with a crispy, delicious cutlet of deep-fried pork! 

MIROKU: Compared to our dry rice, it is entirely different.

MIKADO: I'm really jealous of such humanised cuisine!

HARUHI: Ahh, I would like to be Goshi-kun, unaware of their bloodline, if I could consume such delectable food. 

GOSHI: Hey! Why are you eating other people's food without permission?

HIKARU: Ah, my body moved unconsciously, I'm sorry, Kanechin, I can't stop. Ah

Uh~ Ah~ Spices, white rice, meat, um! Great!

YUTA: Wow, great, I want it too, I want it too! Ah~

AKANE: I want to eat too~ Ah~ Ah~

YUTA: Wow~ I feel my mind is full of happiness~

AKANE: It's delicious~

TATSUHIRO: Excuse me, Kaneshiro, I'm just trying to recall the taste of curry.

GOSHI: Stop it, you guys! That's mine–

TOMOHISA: Goshi, do you want me to share some of my lunch with you?

GOSHI: No. I don't want to taste that–

*Alarm sounds*

EVERYONE: Eh?

(Emergency. Emergency. Re:EVOL will appear at 1221. Members of the 1st Pterosaur Special Service Battalion, please act immediately. Repeat. Re:EVOL will appear at 1221…)

YUTA: Gochin.

GOSHI: Ah, here I come.

KENTO: Really, I'm still eating…

AKANE: I've got the energy of curry, so there's nothing to be afraid of. I'll do my best.

MIROKU: I feel excited.

GOSHI: Okay, let's go.

Everyone: OK!

TOMOHISA: Wait, Goshi.

GOSHI: Hmm, what's wrong?

TOMOHISA: Long swords might not be sufficient to defeat today's enemies.

GOSHI: What?

TOMOHISA: So, if you think the situation is unfavorable, it's best to retreat immediately.

GOSHI: If you have never served in combat, don't be too arrogant. I will judge it. You need to mind your own business.

Scene 3

AKANE: Take it!

YUTA: Take that!

MIROKU: Ahh!!

KENTO: What's going on?!

HARUHI: Long sword attacks have no effect on the enemy!

YUTA: Gochin! If we continue to fight like this, we will be killed!

AKANE: Anyway, it's better to retreat now…

GOSHI: They won't be analysing that if we're retreating so fast.

AKANE: Butーー

MIROKU: Continuing like this will only make people exhausted.

GOSHI: You just stay there. My battle axe is effective against the enemy. I will kill them alone.

YUTA: Eh? How can you fight alone? You shouldn't! Gochin——

HARUHI: They're right!

YUDUKI: We have to——Ah——

HARUHI: Yuduki!

GOSHI: Hey, are you okay?!

KENTO: Hey, Yuduki!

KENTO: This is terrible. He's unconscious.

AKANE: No way.

GOSHI: Damn it. Retreat for now!

MIROKU: Roger that!

YUTA: Hang in there, Yudu!

HARUHI: Yuduki! Yuduki! … Yuduki!

—-

HARUHI: Ah, Onzai-kun.

MOMOTARO: Although he hasn't regained consciousness yet, overall, he's stable.

HARUHI: Will Yuduki wake up?

MOMOTARO: I'm not sure. His body was greatly affected by the damage received when the long sword activated. He’s in very terrible condition, and I'm not sure when he will improve.

HARUHI: There's no way… In that case... Is there any way to save him?

MOMOTARO: If we can get LIP, there is a chance that he can recover.

HARUHI: LIP...?

MOMOTARO: It's Limited Intact Potion, or LIP for short.

GOSHI: Is it the drug that is rarely seen on the black market?

MOMOTARO: Yeah. Well, to be honest, it's hard to get.

HARUHI: How come…

YUTA: But, but, he finally saved his life, right? This is all thanks to the medical machine invented by Momochin…

AKANE: Yes, that's right. He will definitely get better. Let's go find that drug too.

MIROKU: Haruhi, how can you not have confidence in it?

HARUHI: ... Yeah.

KENTO: But, to be honest, this is all the fault of the reckless captain who didn't listen to the opinions of the team.

YUTA: Kenken, don't say that—

KENTO: But it's the truth. If Goshi could make a calm judgment, Yuduki would be—

GOSHI: Ah, yes, I know that! It's my responsibility.

HARUHI: No way, it's not Goshi-kun's fault—

GOSHI: Momotaro, Yuduki is in your care.

MOMOTARO: Okay.

MIROKU: Kaneshiro-san…

AKANE: He left.

YUTA: Hey, Gochin, wait! Hey, Gochin—

GOSHI: …

YUTA: You're walking too fast!

GOSHI: Tsk...What are you doing?

YUTA: Don't blame yourself for everything that happened this time. It's not a good idea.

GOSHI: …

YUTA: Answer me!

GOSHI: I'm not suitable for teamwork.

YUTA: That's not really true. I think Gochin is a good captain—

GOSHI: Aizome should be the captain. He's very careful and caring. Most importantly, his bloodline… is α-type.

YUTA: ...You're the strongest, Gochin, which is why you were selected as the captain. It has nothing to do with bloodline. Besides, everyone in our team trusts you, Gochin. This is more important than anything else, don't you think? You need to be more confident in yourself.

GOSHI: ... I'm not in that mood right now.

YUTA: Gochin...

GOSHI: Sorry, leave me alone for a while.

—-

KAZUNA: Yuduki hasn't regained consciousness yet.

MIKADO: Yes, Momotasu has been taking care of him the whole time…

KAZUNA: Is that so? I'm really worried.

TATSUHIRO: I hope he can wake up soon.

MIKADO: It must be fine. After all, Momotasu is using his medical equipment to treat him.

HIKARU: As expected of Peachan! 

He also helped me cure the last time I felt unwell.

TATSUHIRO: You just ate too much.

MIKADO: By the way, why did Re:EVOL attack point 1221 this time?

KAZUNA: Indeed, it's just a wasteland. I don't understand why they specifically attacked there.

TATSUHIRO: Moreover, not long after the battle with the Guardians ended, they seemed to have evacuated from point 1221.

MIKADO: I watched the remote video, and they seemed to be looking for something.

KAZUNA: But it seems that they didn't find it in the end.

HIKARU: Should we go to the scene to investigate now?

MIKADO: Good idea. Maybe we can find some clues.

—

Scene 4

MIKADO: Anyway, this is a really desolate planet.

KAZUNA: Since the resources were exhausted more than ten years ago, this planet has been abandoned.

HIKARU: Well, let's find clues as to why Re:EVOL attacked here!

TATSUHIRO: In this vast wilderness huh?

MIKADO: Don't worry! I brought the detector invented by Momotasu!

KAZUNA: That's reassuring.

MIKADO: It is said that it will react to special objects.

TATSUHIRO: Then, let's walk around and see.

(Sensor sounds)

HIKARU: Ah, the detector sounded…

KAZUNA: Amazing, it reacted so quickly.

MIKADO: Look here. There is something here... a handle.

KAZUNA: Try to pull it open! One, two–

MIKADO: Everyone! Please keep working hard!

HIKARU: Wait! Mikachi, come and help too!

MIKADO: Sorry, I'm a brainworker... Oops…

KAZUNA: Almost there…

Everyone: (Try hard)

HIKARU: It's open!

MIKADO: It's open.

TATSUHIRO: Look, it's a staircase leading to the underground.

HIKARU: Eh, what's going on? This is too suspicious, isn't it?

MIKADO: What should we do? Huh... Huh…

KAZUNA: Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can find out why Re:EVOL attacked here.

HIKARU: Ah, it smells so musty…

TATSUHIRO: Be quiet. What if there's an enemy?

MIKADO: Yeah. We don't have combat equipment right now.

HIKARU: Got it~

KAZUNA: Look, there's something down there.

TATSUHIRO: This is…

MIKADO: It seems to be some kind of... research facility?

KAZUNA: So cool, it seems to be all the latest equipment.

HIKARU: The researcher-looking man has the Imperial Army emblem on his white coat...!!!

TATSUHIRO: In other words, this is an Imperial Army facility…

MIKADO: Our secret service department was completely unaware of the existence of this place…

KAZUNA: It seems that this is a top secret that only the top brass knows.

HIKARU: Look! Over there!

TATSUHIRO: What's wrong? That's…

MIKADO: Culture tanks... right. The people inside are... humans?

HIKARU: Eh? Why do so many people look like they are immersed in formalin?

TATSUHIRO: No way. Is it a human experiment?

KAZUNA: What on earth is the Imperial Army researching here…

—-

Scene 5

HARUHI: Uwoah!!

MIROKU: Haruhi, let's stop here today.

AKANE: Yeah. It's already this late. Let's practice tomorrow.

HARUHI: ...

AKANE: Harupyon!

HARUHI: I can still continue.

MIROKU: Being overly aggressive is pointless and will only harm your body.

HARUHI: But!

AKANE: You think it's your fault that Yuchi got hurt.

MIROKU: Is that right?

AKANE: It's no one's fault.

HARUHI: I know. I know it in my mind. Regardless of who I hold accountable or whether I was responsible at the time... These thoughts are meaningless. I know it, but I still think about it. What if Yuduki doesn't wake up?

AKANE: Harupyon... It's okay, Yuchi will definitely—

HARUHI: I'm scared! It's like half of my body disappeared.

MIROKU: Haruhi.

HARUHI: If I were stronger, I could protect Yuduki…

—-

COMMANDER: Retreating in terror in front of the enemy is ridiculous!

GOSHI: I apologize.

COMMANDER: Are you insane that you would dare to show your face in front of me? What's the matter?

GOSHI: If there is LIP in the army's reserves, can you give me some, even a small amount…

COMMANDER: LIP? Why do you need it?

GOSHI: To save the lives of my subordinates.

COMMANDER: Heh! He's just a soldier. How can you casually give such a valuable, confidential medication?

GOSHI: He was injured for the sake of the Imperial Army–

COMMANDER: Soldiers are merely tools to be used. Don't care about the men who will perish.

GOSHI: …

COMMANDER: Huh? What? What do you mean with that look?

GOSHI: Nothing.

COMMANDER: In short, you have to focus on destroying Re:EVOL. Do you understand? Go quickly.

GOSHI: I'll leave first.

*Door closes*

GOSHI: *Sighs*

TOMOHISA: Judging from your expression, you seem dissatisfied.

GOSHI: ... Kitakado, why are you here?

TOMOHISA: Yuta told me. He said you were here.

GOSHI: What's the matter?

TOMOHISA: …

GOSHI: I won't listen to your lecture.

TOMOHISA: How could that be? In fact, I came to apologize.

GOSHI: Huh?

TOMOHISA: At that time, I should have seriously stopped you from fighting Re:EVOL. In that case, Yuduki—

GOSHI: Shut up! The responsibility for not listening to advice and failing to protect our companions is all mine!

TOMOHISA: That's not true. If I told you the details, you would have definitely listened to me. Re:EVOL is equipped with Anti-Blade…

GOSHI: Huh? How do you know about the enemy's weapon?

TOMOHISA: That's because…

GOSHI: …

TOMOHISA: I am the leader of Re:EVOL.

GOSHI: Huh?

TOMOHISA: You may not believe it if I tell you suddenly. But, if you see this…

GOSHI: Ah, the tattoo on your waist…

TOMOHISA: Yes, it's the emblem of Re:EVOL. This demonstrates how you differ from people who gave their lives in pursuit of a worthy cause. 

GOSHI: You!! You have been betraying the Imperial Army all along!

TOMOHISA: Maybe that's the case in the eyes of some people.

GOSHI: Why?!

TOMOHISA: Because I realized that there is no justice in the Imperial Army.

GOSHI: Huh?

TOMOHISA: There is a horrible scheme being launched by the Imperial Army's highest brass. It's called the "Bloodwashing Project".

GOSHI: What the heck is that?

TOMOHISA: Its goal is to use artificial blood developed by the Imperial Army to replace the blood of every human being on the planet.

GOSHI: Artificial blood? What will happen after the replacement?

TOMOHISA: Yes. Nerve impulses in the brain have been reported to be destroyed, resulting in the creation of mindless robots.

GOSHI: !!

TOMOHISA: For this reason, they recently conducted human experiments at location 1221. 

GOSHI: That's why Re:EVOL went to that place…

TOMOHISA: However, they ultimately failed to locate the base's entrance.

GOSHI: Why did you tell me this confidential information?

TOMOHISA: I will tell you outright... I want you to join the Re:EVOL team.

GOSHI: What?!

TOMOHISA: So how is it?

GOSHI: Huh. Are you crazy? I swore allegiance to the Imperial Army.

TOMOHISA: The Imperial Army is not worthy of your loyalty. You became aware of this.

GOSHI: …

TOMOHISA: Additionally, I brought a trade-off to ensure the smooth conduct of our conversation. I'll grant you LIP as long as you join Re:EVOL.

GOSHI: You have LIP?!

TOMOHISA: 

GOSHI: If I can get LIP, Yuduki will…

TOMOHISA: You're a really nice person, Goshi. You merely act like a lone wolf, but in reality, you value the team more than anybody else.

GOSHI: ... You are such an optimist.

TOMOHISA: Okay, Goshi, time is running out. What are you going to do?

GOSHI: …

TOMOHISA: Which would you prefer—real peace or the reality of the Imperial Army's disguise? 

GOSHI: I…

—-

RYUJI: Do it this way, then this way... OK! Everything's ready!

TOMOHISA: Ryuji!

RYUJI: Tomo! You're so slow, I'm getting impatient.

TOMOHISA: Sorry about that.

RYUJI: What did Goshi say?

GOSHI: Are you planning to flee the base on this trashy spaceship, Round Eyebrows?

RYUJI: Ehh~ You've made up your mind to betray the Imperial Army.

GOSHI: Who knows. But I didn't expect you to be on this side.

RYUJI: Since I have faith in Tomo. I simply followed him in silence.

TOMOHISA: Thank you, Ryuji. By the way, Goshi, don't you need to tell the other team members?

GOSHI: ... No need.

RYUJI: Really, don't you have to say it? If you don't explain it clearly, it might be mistaken for betrayal.

GOSHI: Oh, you're afraid of that now?

TOMOHISA: Goshi is amazing. Even if you're viewed as the bad guy, you don't want your friends to get implicated. Right?

GOSHI: That expression of yours that seems to see right through everything genuinely annoys me!

RYUJI: So pitiful. Yuta might cry, "Gochin!!", like this.

GOSHI: Just stop making trouble. Let's leave quickly.

TOMOHISA: Yes, Ryuji, please.

RYUJI: OK~ Got it!

(Start)

RYUJI: Okay, hold on tight, full speed ahead—!

GOSHI: So fast... Hey, Round Eyebrows, don't mess around!

RYUJI: Huh? Who do you think you are talking to?

TOMOHISA: Although Ryuji doesn't look like it, he actually likes speed.

—-

YUTA: Hey, Kenken, have you seen Gochin?

KENTO: No.

YUTA: Eh~ That's weird. We agreed to go to the Cleaning Capsule together!

KENTO: Uh... Two men going to the Capsule together... I can't imagine!

YUTA: Hahaha. Gochin also said "Absolutely not!"

(Code S: Kento Aizome, Kazuna Masunaga, please go to the command room immediately…)

YUTA: Ah, Kenken, they're calling you. What's going on?

(Kento Aizome, Kazuna Masunaga...)

KENTO: I think Kazuna was called too.

(Please go to the command room immediately...)

YUTA: That's weird... Normally, shouldn't we go to the captain, Gochin and Tomo-kun...

—

Scene 6

KENTO: Excuse me.

KAZUNA: Kento, you're so late.

KENTO: After all, the Commander summoned me personally, so I have to fix my bangs. By the way, where is the Commander ?

KAZUNA: He hasn't come yet.

KENTO: Really? I would have come slowly if I had known.

KAZUNA: By the way, do you know why we were asked to come?

KENTO: I don't know.

KAZUNA: That's right. Why didn't you ask Tomohisa and Goshi?

COMMANDER: You two are here.

KAZUNA: What's the matter?

COMMANDER: From now on, I will give you two the command of the team.

KAZUNA: Eh?!

KENTO: Commander, our team already has other captains.

COMMANDER: Tomohisa Kitakado, Goshi Kaneshiro, and Ryuji Korekuni, are the three individuals that have betrayed the Imperial Army.

KAZUNA: What?!

KENTO: What does this mean?

COMMANDER: What I didn't expect is that they seem to have joined Re:EVOL. The three have just been given the death penalty by the military court.

KAZUNA: How could this happen…

COMMANDER: It is your responsibility to carry out your punishment. Lead the troops and go assassinate those three criminals.

KAZUNA: If I can say a word, Commander, even if we suddenly receive such an order, if we don't know the details—

COMMANDER: You don't need to know! You don't have the right to know. If you don't follow orders, you'll end up like those three people at a military briefing.

KAZUNA: !!

COMMANDER: Start the mission immediately!

—-

YUTA: Impossible, this is absolutely a lie!

KAZUNA: Yuta, calm down.

AKANE: But I really can't believe it. Goshi and others actually betrayed us and joined the resistance.

MIROKU: Moreover, Kitakado-san is actually the leader of Re:EVOL.

HIKARU: There must be something wrong.

TATSUHIRO: Although I hope so…

YUTA: The Commander requested us to get rid of those three people?

KAZUNA: Yes. Otherwise we will be sent to a military meeting.

MIROKU: Why did this happen suddenly…

YUTA: Kenken! Let's go to the Commander again! Kenken!

AKANE: Kento.

KENTO: Well, there is nothing we can do. This is an order from the superior.

MIROKU: Kento-san.

YUTA: Kenken! Why are you treating our friend like this?

KENTO: That friend left without saying a word to us, didn't he?

YUTA: That's right... That's right. But there must be a reason…

KENTO: That's the only bond we have with that guy.

YUTA: But... Even so, I... I... I still want to keep trusting Gochin, Ryu-chan, and Tomo-kun.

KENTO: Yuta, you're so naive.

AKANE: Me too! I believe in all three of them.

MIROKU: Something might have happened. I want to find out for myself.

MIKADO: What should we do?

KAZUNA: For now, let's observe the situation.

HIKARU: Oh, come on! He suddenly disappeared without saying anything, and then they said we were going to execute him. What kind of movie-like development is this?!

—-

Scene 7

GOSHI: This is... LIP.

RYUJI: This is the first time I've seen it too. It's so beautiful inside. It's like blood.

TOMOHISA: With so much, Yuduki should be able to regain consciousness.

GOSHI: That's helpful.

RYUJI: But how do we give this to Yudu? We are already rebels, and we can't go back to the Imperial Army's base.

TOMOHISA: If we are caught, we will definitely be sentenced to death.

GOSHI: I want to go back.

RYUJI: Haa… Didn't you hear what we said? It will be dangerous to go back.

GOSHI: So what? Without this, Yuduki will be dead.

TOMOHISA: I knew you would say that. Okay everyone, let’s go. 

RYUJI: Huh?

GOSHI: Can I?

TOMOHISA: Yes. After all, I was the one who pulled you to our side.

GOSHI: I didn't force you.

TOMOHISA: Of course, this is my own wish. Goshi is our important teammate, right, Ryuji?

RYUJI: Since Tomo said so, I will go with you.

TOMOHISA: Thank you. Then let's go quickly.

—--

TOMOHISA: Ryuji and I can take off at any time. We'll be waiting for you here.

GOSHI: Yeah, I see.

TOMOHISA: It's less than sixty minutes before we are discovered by the control tower. I hope you can come back before then.

GOSHI: I will just put LIP there. I'll be back soon.

Ryuchi: Can Goshi come back safely?

TOMOHISA: It would be fine.

Ryuchi: But then again, why did you ask Goshi to join us?

TOMOHISA: Because I think he is a very loyal person, and he ought to share our ideology.

—-

HARUHI: Yuduki... Wake up…

MOMOTARO: How about taking a short break? You probably haven't slept for a while.

HARUHI: Isn't Onzai-kun also taking care of Yuduki? How can I rest by myself…

MOMOTARO: I'm a short sleeper.

HARUHI: …

MOMOTARO: Try to rest. Lack of sleep affects one's performance.

HARUHI: I can't sleep even if I want to... I can't stop thinking about all kinds of things... The condition of Yuduki... as well as Goshi-kun's issue…

MOMOTARO: Is it about how he and our captain betrayed the Imperial Army together…

HARUHI: He actually joined the team that hurt Yuduki…

MOMOTARO: Maybe there is a reason.

HARUHI: I want to believe it, but I can't believe it... My mind feels like a mess... It would be nice if Yuduki was here at this time... But now…

MOMOTARO: Haru... huh?

HARUHI: What was that sound just now?

MOMOTARO: It came from outside the room.

HARUHI: I'll go out and take a look.

HARUHI: Hey, what is this? It's right there.

MOMOTARO: This is... LIP!

HARUHI: Huh??

MOMOTARO: If I give this to Yuduki, he should wake up!

HARUHI: Really? 

MOMOTARO: I'll use it right now.

YUDUKI: ... Uh.

HARUHI: Ah, Yuduki!

YUDUKI: Ha...ru…

HARUHI: Ah... Yuduki! That's great. Really, that's great.

MOMOTARO: The medicine is working.

YUDUKI: I... What happened…

HARUHI: (crying) Ah, Yuduki! That's really great.

YUDUKI: Wait... Haru, it hurts if you embrace me so tight.

HARUHI: What should I do if you never woke up again? I was so worried about you!

YUDUKI: I... Have I been unconscious for a long time?

MOMOTARO: Well, you were hurt in the battle and have been unconscious for almost ten days.

YUDUKI: For so long... Come to think of it, I always felt like I was dreaming.

HARUHI: Dreaming?

YUDUKI: A dream about our childhood. We went to the planet next door and played hide-and-seek together.

HARUHI: I remember. Yuduki, you got lost alone, and we spent the whole night looking for you.

YUDUKI: I fell into a crater and passed out. When I woke up, I remember the first thing I saw was Haru's face.

HARUHI: Well, Yuduki, you always make me worry.

YUDUKI: Ah, I'm sorry. I'm obviously the older brother…

HARUHI: It's okay. I'm happy that you can recover like this.

MOMOTARO: Anyway, this is great. I don't know who sent it... but it's all thanks to the LIP that was sent.

YUDUKI: LIP? LIP is... a very rare and precious medicine... right?

MOMOTARO: Yes.

HARUHI: I wonder who sent it?

—-

Scene 8

GOSHI: (Running)... Ugh!

KENTO: You can't get away.

GOSHI: Damn you—

KENTO: The rebel actually came back secretly.

GOSHI: Get out of the way, Aizome!

KENTO: This is an order from above, so don't blame me; I won't let you go. Maybe this is an excellent chance to determine who is superior.

GOSHI: ... Just exactly what I want!

KENTO: I never liked you, because you act so great just because you're the captain…

GOSHI: You're the one who's arrogant because you're an alpha!

KENTO: This is simply being exceptional; it is not conceited! Oh, what's wrong with you? Where's your usual high-spirited self, traitor?

GOSHI: Shut up!

KENTO: Don't show mercy. Just come at me!

YUTA: Gochin! Kenken! Both of you stop it!

GOSHI: ... Ashu?

KENTO: Have you forgotten, Yuta? This is the Commander’s order.

YUTA: But you...we...are allies!

KENTO: Can someone who just walks away without saying anything still be considered an ally? 

GOSHI: Ugh…

KENTO: ...If he were truly an ally, shouldn't he at least ask us to follow him?

YUTA: Could it be that Kenken…

KENTO: What?!

YUTA: Are you upset because Gochin left without saying anything?

KENTO: What? How is that possible?!

YUTA: Ah~~Is that so! So that's how it is! After all, Kenken is a person who is afraid of loneliness, right?

KENTO: No! How is that possible?! Don't get me wrong!

GOSHI: Aizome…

YUTA: I say, Gochin! Come back! Then we can be together again—

GOSHI: I can't go back.

YUTA: Why?

GOSHI: …

YUTA: Hey, Gochin, don't be silent, tell me! We also have the right to know the truth, right?

GOSHI: …

YUTA: Gochin!

GOSHI: … A scheme to control human behaviour is being carried out by the upper brass... I have to stop it.

YUTA: What plan?

KENTO: Did you join Re:EVOL because you learned about that plan?

GOSHI: …

YUTA: I see! Then I'll go too!

GOSHI: Huh?!

YUTA: Kenken and I will follow you, Gochin.

KENTO: Wait, Yuta, don't make decisions for others.

YUTA: Because the three of us share a common destiny... right?

—-

Scene 9

RYUJI: Ah, You finally came back. You're so slow~

GOSHI: Sorry.

RYUJI: Eh? You brought them back too?

YUTA: Hehe! We're going too! It'll be better if we all work together!

RYUJI: Goshi, did you tell them?

GOSHI: Yes... I did…

TOMOHISA: Ahaha… Goshi appears to be highly regarded by everyone.

KENTO: No. We are just attending to the captain.

TOMOHISA: I see. You really met good teammates.

GOSHI: Okay, let's go.

TOMOHISA: Yeah. Then, Ryuji, let's go.

RYUJI: Okay~ Let's go. Okay... Let's go to the Re:EVOL base.

—

(Warning. Intruders entering the base. Bombardment permitted. I repeat, intruders entering the base. Bombardment permitted.)

YUTA: Eh? This, isn't it super dangerous?!

GOSHI: Round Eyebrows, get ready!! They're coming!

RYUJI: Too noisy! I already know!

TOMOHISA: No, the machine is under attack—

KENTO: Here they come again!

RYUJI: (Controlling) ... Ah! The navigation system is damaged! The spacecraft cannot be controlled!

EVERYONE: Ahh…!! No way!

—

GOSHI: ....

COMMANDER: Oh, so you have woken up?

RYUJI: Wait, what is this? *sound of handcuffs*

YUTA: I can't— remove them!

KENTO: It seems to be stuck together.

COMMANDER: This will become your grave. From now on, I will carry out your execution!

YUTA: There's no way—

COMMANDER: You may see for yourself what will happen if you don't comply with me.

GOSHI: Hmph, how arrogant.

COMMANDER: What’s that?

GOSHI: Actually, those of you who pointed your swords at me must be very scared. Even if you kill us, the empire will be destroyed sooner or later!

COMMANDER: Hahaha!! Is this the nonsense of a loser... You are still a worthless man at the end of the day. Allowing you to enlist in the army is a mistake because you are neither α nor β.

GOSHI: Guh…

COMMANDER: Before you die, I will tell you a secret. Why do you have the special Ω blood type?

YUTA: Ω? ! Did I just say Ω? Isn't that... a very, very rare bloodline?

KENTO: It's even a mystery whether it exists or not... That—

COMMANDER: There was a planet where I once experimented on its inhabitants. While the majority perished, one boy managed to survive.

RYUJI: Could that boy be—

TOMOHISA: Goshi?!

COMMANDER: At that time, I transformed your ordinary blood into Ω type.

GOSHI: …!! The one who destroyed our planet... was you?!

COMMANDER: Don't be so angry. You will meet the same soon. Execution!

YUTA: Gochin!!!

GOSHI: ...!!!

AKANE: STOP!

COMMANDER: Hmm?

AKANE: Have you really forgotten that we exist?

HARUHI: Because Goshi-kun saved Yuduki.

YUDUKI: This time it's our turn to save Kaneshiro-san.

MIROKU: It takes only a moment to overcome soldiers of this level. 

AKANE: It's not for nothing that we train like demons every day!

SOLDIERS: (knocked down)

AKANE: Hehe, an easy victory!

GOSHI: You guys…

TOMOHISA: Thank you, Tono.

MIROKU: No problem.

RYUJI: I'm not the kind of person who is a princess in captivity, really.

YUDUKI: I'm glad everyone is safe.

YUTA: Yudu! You woke up!

YUDUKI: Sorry to have worried you.

HARUHI: Thank goodness someone sent me LIP…

GOSHI: …

MIROKU: It was Kaneshiro-san, right…

GOSHI: …

HARUHI: Why do you always hide such important things?

YUDUKI: But, this strong and gentle side is very characteristic of Kaneshiro-san, I love it.

HARUHI: Yes!

COMMANDER: You guys! How dare you!

TOMOHISA: Well then, now the situation is reversed, Commander.

KENTO: There are no loyal soldiers to protect you.

HARUHI: Accept your fate! Take my attack!!!

YUDUKI: Haru's long sword–

AKANE: It was deflected!

GOSHI: Then let me do it!! Damn it!

YUTA: Why?!

COMMANDER: Hahaha. Foolish! Your attacks are ineffective against me!

AKANE: What do you mean?!

TOMOHISA: Perhaps the Commander took something that renders physical assaults ineffective.

HARUHI: What is that?

GOSHI: In other words, our attacks have no effect on him?!

TOMOHISA: Yes, it seems so

YUTA: How could this be…

COMMANDER: People like you can't beat me from the beginning!

AKANE: Damn it!

MIKADO: Is that true?

COMMANDER: Who is it?

KAZUNA: 1st Pterosaur Special Service Battalion

MOMOTARO: Although it hasn't been officially taken over yet…

TATSUHIRO: Sorry, we're a little late.

HIKARU: Heroes are always late.

KAZUNA: I'm glad to have arrived on time.

RYUJI: You guys!

TOMOHISA: You're here.

KAZUNA: Tomohisa and the others joined Re:EVOL for a reason, in my opinion, and we also discovered a strange research institute, so we also conducted some investigations ourselves.

TOMOHISA: Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Kazuna's eyes.

KAZUNA: Based on the data obtained from that research institute, Momo has developed a drug that can neutralize your antibodies.

MOMOTARO: Your altered body will disintegrate and vanish as long as we inject you with this medication.

COMMANDER: What?!

HIKARU: Tadah!

MIKADO: The drug is already loaded, right here!

HIKARU: Okay, can we hit it?

TATSUHIRO: You're done as long as our arrows hit your body.

COMMANDER: Stop! Stop! Huhu, I'll overlook this and forgive you as long as you will stop!

KAZUNA: For those who begged you for mercy like this, didn't you ruthlessly take their lives?

TATSUHIRO: Goodbye, Commander.

(shooting arrows)

COMMANDER: Ah! Ughh! Ah!!!

YUDUKI: It's over.

HARUHI: Finally!

YUTA: Uwaaa, I'm so tired~~

AKANE: Awesome! We defeated the Commander!

KAZUNA: By the way, now we are also qualified rebels.

TOMOHISA: Sorry for dragging you into this.

HIKARU: Don't make such a face again.

MIKADO: Please let us become the captain's companions.

MOMOTARO: Captain... No, now it should be the leader of the rebels.

TOMOHISA: ... Is it okay?

TATSUHIRO: Of course! We already know that Re:EVOL is justice.

AKANE: Wait, let us join your team too.

MIROKU: We will become the strongest fighting force.

HARUHI: I don't need this kind of uniform anymore~

YUDUKI: Haru, if you take it off suddenly, you will catch a cold.

TOMOHISA: Thank you everyone.

RYUJI: From now on, we will fight against the empire together.

(Warning: Rebels are allegedly present in the execution facility.. All people take action. Capture immediately.)

YUTA: Oh no, there are so many pursuers. What should we do?!

KENTO: Anyway, we have no choice but to run away.

GOSHI: Can so many people fit on that ship?!

RYUJI: The capacity is 14 people, it's just right.

TOMOHISA: The battles will be more intense in the future. Are you ready to sacrifice your lives for justice?

GOSHI: Heh, of course!

KAZUNA: Otherwise, we wouldn't be here.

AKANE: Don't be polite, just rely on us.

RYUJI: *laughs* It's really reassuring.

RYUJI: Everyone, get on the ship! We're leaving soon.

MIROKU: Kore-san's driving is really wild.

YUTA: Eh? Have you been on it before?

MIROKU: I was on it when I was a rookie and during training.

TATSUHIRO: That was really a good training experience.

HIKARU: All right! Then, let's set off on a new journey! Go ahead!

EVERYONE: Let’s go!!!

Merry Christmas, @eliza-faust-diary

I’m your Inu Yasha Secret Santa! I hope you like it!

and a Very BIG “THANK YOU!” to @brain-rot-hour for the additional art!

The peaceful quiet of the meadow around the Sacred Well was disrupted once again by the grumblings of an annoyed inu hanyou and the miko from the future. 

“I thought ya were goin back to slay some more of those tesuto things at your school! What’re ya doin with all these—these things!” Inu Yasha finished. He placed the miko down on her feet and hefted the bag of ‘stuff’ over his shoulder as Kagome wrapper her scarf a but more tightly around her. 

The sun was heading towards the horizon and the air was chill, but for once, his miko was dressed appropriately. Pants covered her legs and she was wearing a jacket for once. Even so, she was still lovely.

She blinked at him curiously, then smiled. “Oh! That’s right!” She gave a soft giggle that made him blush, although Kagome didn’t notice. “I forgot that you don’t really remember Christmas since its really something from my time. I’m sorry, Inu Yasha; I should’ve remembered.” 

The two of them walked towards the village as Kagome mentioned that she had bought a few presents for her friends. Inu Yasha grumped a bit, making his usual “keh” and "feh” noises as he pretended to be uninterested. He and Kagome were met on the way by Sango and Kirara, flying around on patrol. 

At Kaede’s hut, Kagome took out the presents she had purchased, some tape, and wrapping paper and began to wrap them. Inu Yasha helped by sticking his thumb on the colored strings Kagome used so she could tie a bow, and surprisingly, Miroku tried to help with the tape.

Kirara, now transformed to her smaller size, was fascinated by the wrapping paper and attacked it with vigor! Sango and Kagome giggled and tossed her some crumpled balls to attack. The nekomata chased one or two around the room, pouncing as necessary!

“Kagome-dono,” Miroku called, staring at the round object in his hand, “what all does this ‘tape’ do?” Miroku stared intensely at his right hand and quickly attached some tape to his glove, then wrapped it around his covered right arm. After 3 or 4 times around, the tape got stuck to itself, and Kagome had to cut the tape before Miroku got both his hands stuck. 

With a giggle, Kagome explained, “We use tape for all kinds of things, Miroku-san. As you can see, its good for attaching things together but is also easy to cut apart.” Kagome paused in her wrapping as Kirara walked on top of a piece of her wrapping paper laid out on the floor for a present and settled down for a nap. 

Inu Yasha glanced over, pulling the roll of tape from Miroku’s hand and examining it more closely. The two of them pulled some tape out and started attaching it to various pieces of cloth and then began shoving each other a bit.

“I think you’ve had enough time with the tape, my friend. I’d like to try some more—“ the monk began. He reached for the tape, but Inu Yasha held it out of reach.

“I’m still using it, bouzo!” the inu hanyou replied.

The two of them kept arguing — “back off!” “Be careful!” “You’re using too much!” “You’re not using it right!” — until Sango finally stood up, grabbed the tape and skillfully wrapped it around their wrists, like modern handcuffs. 

With a satisfied smile, Sango sat and handed an astonished Kagome the tape. “Here you go, Kagome-chan.” 

Kagome looked from the tape to the annoyed monk and hanyou duo and then stifled a laugh as she used the tape to finish off her last gift. “There! All done!” With a soft smile, she looked at Sango and said, “If you could have anything for Christmas as a present, what would it be?”

Sango’s deep chocolate eyes turned inward and she stroked Kirara’s fur for a moment or two. “I think I’d just like some more of that sham-poo and soap you usually have. It’s so refreshing!”

“Oh! That’s easy, Sango-chan. I’m really excited about the gifts I got for my friends, too. We were going to do a secret santa, but as it turned out, I had enough to buy them each a present, so it wasn’t so bad.”

The two women chuckled as Kirara suddenly bounded up and attacked some paper that was obviously up to no good. “What’s a secret santa, Kagome-chan?” Sango picked up some of the pretty ribbon and waved it softly in front of Kirara, both women studiously ignoring the men who were now nearly tangled up after challenging each other to a ‘tape off.'

“Oh! In a secret santa, everyone gets the name of one person in secret and they buy a gift for them. Sometimes, the gifts are from the heart and sometimes, they are more like joke or funny gifts. This year we chose gifts from the heart! Tomorrow morning before we head out, Inu Yasha and I are going to drop the gifts back in my time. That way, my friends can pick them up in case we’re busy.”  

With a little squeal, Kagome pulled out a package from her backpack and introduced Sango to the little packages of deliciousness. “I forgot to tell you! I brought some hot chocolate packets. These have tiny marshmallows in them.” 

Kaede smiled as she heated up some water. “I’m looking forward to this type, Kagome-chan. The dark hot chocolate you brought last time was quite delicious.” The silence was interrupted by the muffled sounds of miroku and Inu Yasha grunting and snarking at each other. The women tried to control their eye-rolling but it was difficult to do anything but as two ‘adults’ became embroiled in tape. 

After the water was ready, Kagome, Kaede, and Sango sipped joyfully at the hot chocolate, giving out contented ‘ahhs’ as they reached chocolate nirvana. Full of trepidation, Kagome turned to look at Miroku and Inu Yasha, who had both grown silent. 

Miroku’s other hand was taped to his head and Inu Yasha was using his fangs to cut through the tape that crossed his face and smooshed down one of his ears. Sango stood abruptly, giggling like mad and running for the door. Huge bursts of laughter reverberated back inside even as Kagome doubled over in laughter. 

“S’not funny,” Inu Yasha grumbled as he gnawed through another weird bit of tape. Kirara wandered over and playfully batted at both Miroku and Inu Yasha, pouncing on the monk whose one hand was taped behind his head. The adorable nekomata settled into his lap and closed her ears to their mutterings. 

“You could help,” Inu Yasha grumbled at the nekomata, eyeing her claws and fangs. He was unsurprised when she gently trilled back. Miroku traded glances with his fellow tapee and continued to unravel himself. He was still trailing tape when a giggling Kagome handed him some hot chocolate, then kneeled behind Inu Yasha to help him untape his ears. 

Miroku shook his head as Inu Yasha gave an unconscious happy wiggle when Kagome softly stroked his ears. Her lilting voice was soft, but the houshi heard her ask, “All better now?”

He grinned behind his cup of hot chocolate and discreetly hid the tape in his robes. He might need it later. 

He smiled and carefully rubbed Sango’s bottom. “Heaven!” he opined before her boomerang came crashing down on his head.

Happy Holidays @clearwillow

I’m your IYSS! I hope you enjoy!

pairing: InuKag

Modern AU Fluff

For a second, she thought it was an intruder. Slowly, though, a pair of sheepish white dog ears emerged from her hallway. Even against the beige tones of her walls, the ears stood out.  It wasn’t just because she loved them, no. It wasn’t because they were absolutely adorable. And it most definitely wasn’t because she had dreamed of petting them, (stroking them..oh boy) or spent days with her fingers twitching slightly whenever she saw them move.

Her voice trembled a bit since he wasn’t coming completely into view. “In- Inu Yasha-san?” She was surprised that he was still not emerging from her hallway. “Is everything ok?” She gulped for a moment, wondering if this was some weird dream that she was having. Especially after how terribly her hints and flirting had gone over at Miroku’s holiday party.

“Yeah. Ev-everything is ok.” Kagome wondered why he was still hiding most of his body. His voice soothed her even as it didn’t answer her question. “I’m sorry for surprising you, but I wanted to give you something special for Christmas.” 

Kagome placed her bag down in her kitchen and moved cautiously towards her bedroom. Inu Yasha was standing in her hallway, looking, well, odd. His expression was nearly unreadable but, like his ears, he seemed a bit sheepish? 

His voice, so velvety and rich, trembled slightly as he motioned towards her bedroom. “Sorry, I didn’t want to leave it in your living room. Just in case.” He stood to the side as Kagome walked in and then—Did he just sniff me? 

Gasping, Kagome surveyed her bedroom, bedecked with mistletoe. There was mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, draped along the walls and tied to the headboard of her bed. A piece of mistletoe was lying on the bed and Kagome barely controlled a shiver as a breath seemed to rush over her shoulder and her heart started beating faster.

She turned, every nerve in her body tingling and her heart racing and then—then!  Inu Yasha took her into his arms just as she had wanted him to at Miroku’s party; only this time, it was real.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t understand,” Inu Yasha said, his golden eyes sparkling as he took in her joy. 

From one breath to the next, Kagome was back at the party. How silly she had been, basically bugging Miroku to have it in the first place. He’d been as supportive as he could be, even while the former charmer had refocused on his ‘true love,’ Tsubasa Sango. 

“Kagome-chan,” he’d said one day at lunch, “I realize that you are interested in Taisho Inu Yasha-san, but it really seems like he isn’t interested in anyone. Are you sure that you want to try for him? He can be so terribly grumpy.”

Kagome had a difficult time taking her eyes off of said grumpy and standoffish inu hanyou. She turned to look at Tsujitana Miroku and blinked, trying to shake off the mesmerizing effect that Inu Yasha had on her. It was dangerous to her sanity!

“Yes,” she answered resolutely.  A new gleam appeared in her eyes and she reaffirmed her devotion for the grumpiest employee to Miroku. “I have already made some headway,” she reported happily. “He took the ramen that I made for him!”  

Miroku stared. That seemed out of character for the department grump. “He did? Really? What did he say? Did he like it?”

Kagome sighed and nodded her head sadly. “Not really.” At Miroku’s shocked look, she rushed on, “OH! He said thank you, but later when I asked him if it was good he only said that it was ok.”

For a moment, silence settled in between the two of them; even the noisy background didn’t dispel the slight feeling of disquietude. The air swirled around them as people moved, laughed, and chatted. Miroku shifted uneasily and wracked his brain for something funny to say, but gave up. It wouldn’t really help to provoke Kagome. Instead, he glanced over his shoulder at the grumpy object of Kagome’s affections. 

“I’ll help,” he said slowly, wondering how insane of a plan this would be. At Kagome’s tiny twinkle, he shook his head. He was practically in love with this girl and yet, it wasn’t romantic in the slightest. A foreign and protective feeling overtook him. “Yes, Kagome-chan, you can thank me later,” he added with a laugh. Maybe the good karma from helping her would give him his own karma boost. 

The lovely Sango would be an interesting, but difficult challenge. 

And so began the wooing. 

Friend wooing, that is. 

Most days, Miroku knew where to find Inu Yasha. All he had to do was track down Kagome who seemed to have memorized his schedule and had multiple people spying on him and reporting his activities.

Soon enough, however, he managed to befriend Mr. Grumpy Pants (seriously, she wrote that as his nickname?!) on his own. It didn’t take much. Ramen and bonding over pool worked their magic and soon Miroku forgot that he’d had ulterior motives for befriending Inu Yasha. 

And then, one day while they were having lunch and chitchatting about the latest Tigers game, Miroku met the pining gaze of Kagome. He grinned and then double checked his calendar. Perfect timing. He could easily have a get-together. 

“Hey, Inu Yasha, I was planning on asking Tsubasa-san and a few others to hang out at Kaze Anna on Friday night.” His violet eyes gazed at Sango’s lovely…loveliness, —Behave, Miroku-kun, he could practically hear Kagome-chan chastising him!—but he turned back when Inu Yasha snorted. Raising his eyebrow expectantly, he waited in silence until Inu Yasha spoke his mind.

“Keh. Are you sure you wanna try that?” Inu Yasha replied, his golden eyes focused on Miroku. He seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today for some reason, although Miroku had no idea why.

Ignoring his negativity, Miroku continued. “I think Hojo-kun might come, and there’s also Kino-chan, and Higurashi-chan.”  He paused a moment. Had Inu Yasha made a small noise? Miroku hid his smirk. Maybe this wasn’t hopeless! “Anyone else I should invite? I wasn’t sure about adding Yamamoto-san or Takayama-san.” Miroku looked at Inu Yasha who was staring at Kagome! 

Was he growling? Let’s test this theory. “Oh! There’s Kagome-chan! Maybe I should ask her now?” The conniving hentai stood up and stepped towards the table with a smiling, but watchful Kagome, Sango, and —oooo!— Hojo. Maybe that’s why?

“Keh! You shouldn’t bug people during lunch, ya know,” Inu Yasha stated, suddenly in between Miroku and the other table of their co-workers. “We-I mean, you, could always ask them later.”

Miroku smiled. Kagome was in luck! “Sure. I’ll see Hojo-kun later anyway and I can always stop and chat with Kagome-chan later.” 

It was no surprise at all when Inu Yasha bristled a fraction. “Keh, I’ll tell Hobo when I see him after lunch. We sit near each other.” The inu hanyou’s ears were twitching like mad but Miroku didn’t acknowledge his heightened state. Clearly he was zooming in on Kagome’s conversation. But why offer to invite Hojo-kun? The affable young man was clearly in love with Kagome, so it seemed counterintuitive to invite him. 

Miroku had his answer that Friday night. The izakaya was mostly full, but he managed to get a private table with Kagome’s assistance. The atmosphere was lively and buzzing with the sounds of office workers looking to blow off some steam. There were even a few foreigners, practicing their Japanese. He nodded at the server who came by and dropped off their drinks. It wasn’t long, however, until Sango approached and sat next to Kagome, giving Miroku every chance to chat her up. 

Miroku was a little surprised when Inu Yasha pulled back the hanging to admit Kino-chan. The excited look on Kagome’s face was replaced by a firm, happy smile, slightly different from the overjoyed look that had flashed across her face when he’d first appeared . As he turned to greet both Inu Yasha and Kino-chan, Miroku caught a knowing look in Sango’s eye and he gave her a raised eyebrow. 

Happy greetings were exchanged as Inu Yasha slid next to Miroku and Kino-chan joined Kagome and Sango on the other side. 

“So, Kino-chan, how is work?” Kagome asked gently. 

"Oh, its been really nice!” Kino’s lavender eyes sparkled and her white bob shook with her enthusiasm. “Inu Yasha-san has been so kind, showing me how to handle so many of the projects.”

Sango glanced at Miroku briefly as a small, sad sound escaped Kagome. Miroku raised both of his eyebrows and turned to Inu Yasha, his violet ones meeting Inu Yasha’s gold ones. Inu Yasha raised his own eyebrows and then turned away, a slight blush on his face. 

“Oh! Shiori-chan, Inu Yasha-san is very good at explaining things,” Kagome said quickly. Miroku didn’t know where to look first: at Kagome’s embarrassed blush, Inu Yasha’s twitching ears, or Kino-chan’s twinkling and sneaky smile.

“Really, Kagome-chan? I didn’t realize he was so kind until recently. Inu Yasha-san acts more like a big brother than a senior employee.” Her entire statement was directed at Kagome who nodded in agreement.

Inu Yasha gave his typical response. “Keh. It was nothin’.” He glared at Miroku. “What are you grinning about, hentai?”

Miroku nearly choked on his beer as the women all giggled. He put Kagome and Inu Yasha out of his mind, however, and focused on the lovely Sango. “Tell me, lovely Sango-san, how much longer before we have our first child?”

The table burst into laughter as Sango blushed and said firmly, “Never, hentai-san!”

Miroku shrugged and then smiled mysteriously. Kagome gave a little giggle and then leaned forward conspiratorially. “Did you hear that Hojo-kun accidentally spilled coffee on Sesshomaru-sama?”

Inu Yasha guffawed joyfully as the others all gasped and the entire tone of the night shifted. Kagome sparkled for most of the night and Miroku and Sango traded knowing glances. 

After a few hours, the group stood outside, gathering themselves. Miroku stood close to Sango, but forced himself to pay attention to the others. Kagome seemed a little tipsy and her cheeks glowed softly. Inu Yasha seemed torn, standing in between Shiori and Kagome when a sudden call for Shiori made them all turn.

“Shiori-chan!” a handsome young man called as he walked up. “I’m so glad you texted me!”

As one, the other four turned to a blushing and grinning Shiori. “This is one of my college friends, Nakayama Ken-san. He works nearby and we haven’t seen each other for a few months.”

Nakayama greeted each of the group and then turned expectantly to Miroku. “I hope you don’t mind, Miroku-san, but I owe Shiori-chan a dessert. If its ok, I think we’ll go to a cafe nearby?” 

The group turned to Miroku expectantly, although Kagome wobbled a bit until Inu Yasha righted her with a soft pull on her arm. 

With a chuckle, Miroku agreed heartily.  "Of course, Nakayama-san. I’m not her father, y’know!” The group chuckled and turned back to each other, but Miroku caught an ear wiggle from Inu Yasha and another blush with a quick glance at Kagome. 

“Um, which-which way are you going, Higurashi-san?" Inu Yasha asked quietly, looking at the ground. 

Kagome giggled and then responded, “I’m heading for the JR line. How about you?” 

Before anyone else could respond, Inu Yasha rushed, “Me, too. I’ll walk you, if that’s good?”

And with barely any goodbyes, Inu Yasha ushered Kagome off to the JR line. 

“Quick question, hentai-san,” Sango said. “Which way on the JR line are they going?”

Miroku paused, then looked at Sango and started chuckling. “I didn’t even think of that. He seemed in a bit of a rush, didn’t he?” The two shared a knowing look then parted for their own homes. 

It was only a few weeks later that Kagome cornered Miroku at lunch, a desperate look on her face. 

“I’m so sorry, Miroku-kun, but I definitely need some help! I have no idea why but I invited Inu Yasha to a party at your house for the holidays! I was trying to explain the Western idea of mistletoe and suddenly it just popped out of my mouth. Please! Please can you help me?”

Miroku sat, overwhelmed at first, then caught a glimpse of Sango, staring intently. Hmmm, so the lovely Sango is invested in this. Two birds, one stone? He paused, smiling and nodding at Kagome as he finished his bite of spaghetti. Yes. This will be good for both Inu Yasha who blushes every time Kagome looks in his direction and Kagome who loves this grumpy guy with a soft side. 

“Yes, that sounds wonderful, Kagome-chan. I hope that you will help me plan and organize the party? Let’s say for next weekend?” Miroku almost laughed at how Kagome seemed to be vibrating with happiness. Apparently she had picked up one of Inu Yasha’s traits. 

For a moment, his eyes met Sango’s and he saw her give a slight nod, which gave him another thrill.  He winked and nodded at her. If my lady approves.

Kagome whirled around Miroku’s apartment, adding mistletoe at strategic spots and planning how to maneuver Inu Yasha underneath one of them. Or all of them!  Carefully, she moved the mistletoe from the middle of a doorway to closer to the side. No need to trap everyone underneath this western custom. It could cause some serious awkwardness. 

She smiled as she ran through her list of things to do. Miroku already had all the glasses and drinks out and Sango was putting out the snacks and setting them on a few different places around the main room. Kagome stepped back and grabbed some of the extra coasters she had purchased. They were a cute novelty gift that changed their message when they heated up.  Carefully, she pulled the few ‘special’ coasters which would change to “I really like you” rather than the more Holiday themed ones that she had already put out. 

A quick hug from Sango helped her calm down just as the first person knocked on the door. 

Miroku’s voice put both the women on alert. “Welcome, come in! Happy Holidays, Hojo-kun, Ookami-san.”

Sango and Kagome groaned and headed for the drinks. 

Kagome and Sango sighed and then laughed. So far, Miroku had managed to kiss both of them on the cheek, although Sango had lost count after 5 kisses. 

“How did it go?” Sango asked in a hush, her head slightly tilted towards Inu Yasha, currently drinking some Asahi with Miroku and Ken-san. 

Kagome grimaced but then stood up and nodded. “We did have a nice chat, but he completely missed out on the fact that I was standing underneath the mistletoe. 4 times!” she added in frustration. “4 times, Sango!” She paused and they walked closer to the kitchen for more privacy. 

“I have to admit, Kagome-chan, I was very impressed with how you dodged Kouga-kun. How did Hojo-kun sneak attack you, anyway?” Sango brushed her hair over her shoulder and added some more ocha to her cup. 

Kagome added more ocha as well and then leaned in. “I was busy staring at Inu Yasha’s—umm, his…” At Sango’s knowing giggle, Kagome relented. “Ok, yes. I was staring at his butt. Oh my kami! Sango! Its like a perfect peach!”  The two women shared a look, then glanced at the man they were discussing. The giggles continued until a sudden male voice surprised them

“Who has a perfect peach, my dear ladies?” the host asked and then waggled his eyebrows, provoking even more giggles and a reprimand from Kagome. His eyebrows shot all the way up, however, when he felt a little pinch on his butt. He grinned and leaned in to kiss Sango again.

Kagome sighed as Miroku kissed Sango’s cheek. Somehow, Inu Yasha had managed to maneuver her under the mistletoe every time she got close to it. But no kiss! She had thought they were getting closer. Especially last week and this week when he had stopped by to discuss something. It was clear that he was just there to see her, but he ignored her hints about grabbing dinner or drinks after work. She’d even bought him a Christmas present but it seemed foolish to give it to him now. 

With a quick look at her watch, Kagome started packing up her things. Most of the attendees had left and she was happy to have avoided Kouga-kun several more times. He had managed to kiss her hands once but she had carefully made sure to always have something to drink or snack on if she wasn’t trying to woo Inu Yasha. Maybe after the New Year Mr. Grumpy will finally notice me. 

Even her special coaster hadn’t worked! Inu Yasha had used it, the message had shown up, and while Kagome stared at it pointedly, Inu Yasha seemed oblivious. Resigned, she had given him a weak smile and left to avoid Kouga-kun again. 

She caught Miroku’s eye as she headed for the door and he met her in the genkan. He helped her put on her coat and then gave her a wink. She shrugged her shoulders and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. At his surprised look, she replied, “Mistletoe,”and left. 

Miroku headed back to the living room but nearly ran into Inu Yasha. “Hey, was that Kago- Higurashi-san?” Miroku caught Sango’s eye and nodded, a sneaky smile drawing up his mouth. 

“Yes, she left. It was getting late. Too bad; you could’ve walked her home again.” Inu Yasha gave a small nod and looked at the door. Miroku moved closer to Sango. “It’s a bit strange, though. I could’ve sworn you lived in a different district. You don’t take the JR, right?”

He chuckled and followed Sango into the kitchen. She’d promised to help clean up tonight and they were already making some good headway.

“Hey muttface,” Ookami Kouga said from right behind Inu Yasha. “Did Kagome leave?”

Inu Yasha didn’t bother responding, but he stopped when Kouga grabbed the cardboard coaster from his hand. 

“Oi! What‘s the deal?” Inu Yasha responded grumpily and snatched at the coaster. Normally, he wouldn’t care, but well, Kagome had given it to him. No one needed to know about his Kagome collection, anyway. But he’d get the coaster back somehow. Smelly Ookami.

“Hey! Yours is totally different from mine!” Clearly they both had Kagome collections; otherwise, why else would Kouga still have his coaster, too?! 

The two stared at the coasters. One clearly said, “Happy Holidays!” in katakana and the other said, “I really like you,” in hiragana. The two stared at the coasters, then at each other. 

Inu Yasha worked hard to control his blush, his ears, even his heart. When Miroku cleared his throat, Inu Yasha swiped the coaster from Kouga and pretended to throw it away.  “Very funny, hentai,” Inu Yasha said to Miroku. He gave Sango an inscrutable look, then palmed the coaster and gathered up some of the leftover beers for the recycling.

When things had calmed down and it was only Miroku, Sango and Inu Yasha, he pulled out the coaster and showed it to Miroku.

“Something I should know?” His voice was low but serious and Miroku could detect a hint of curiosity mixed in.

“Why would you ask me?”At Inu Yasha’s unhappy look, Miroku added, “You should probably ask the person who ordered them. She made sure that you got one of those and no one else did.”

Inu Yasha blushed and then raised his eyebrows as Sango slid into Miroku’s arms and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She smirked at Inu Yasha and pointed over head. “Mistletoe. Wonder who put that up?” 

“No…” Inu Yasha couldn’t help it this time. His ears wiggled and his heart began beating faster. He was definitely adding this to his collection! It would look great next to the cute notes she wrote him and left with his ramen. He looked back over Miroku’s place, thinking about the events of the night. He could remember each time that he spoke with Kagome. Her voice was so soothing and electrifying, and her smile made him giddy. Her eyes…he was ashamed to say that he’d had to physically move to keep his mind on whatever she was saying. But…Kagome had kept talking to him underneath the doorways.

For the first time that evening, he examined the doorways and ceiling. In nearly every place Kagome had spoken to him, there was mistletoe. He reached up and pulled it down. Hmmm, he should definitely take these and then…what should he do? 

He was such a baka! Kagome! This whole time Kagome had been interested. IN HIM! the ramen-Oh I was just trying a new recipe-the cute notes! She had even asked him out for dinner! He was so stupid! Why did he think his feelings were so one-sided! She always smelled so nice it was hard to think clearly around her.

Well, he would just gather up the mistletoe and plan a nice surprise for her tomorrow!  

So here he was, like a deranged stalker, hoping she would understand that he was only trying to keep things private. He was not…she smelled so good! His brain short-circuited.  

Kagome looked into Inu Yasha’s eyes. They were warm and shining, but only for her. 

“Thank you,” she whispered and rose to her tip toes for a quick kiss on Inu Yasha’s cheek. He smiled at her and kissed her softly on the forehead, then moved further into her room and kissed her right cheek, then her left. 

Kagome’s giggles almost overwhelmed her, but she reined them in to gaze into Inu Yasha’s eyes. “Are you certain this is all for me?”

Inu Yasha grinned and gave her a light kiss. Her lips were soft and warm. They tasted like sakura and vanilla, the same as her smell. 

“You’re so sweet. I knew you were just a big teddy bear,” Kagome whispered against his lips.

“Sure. Sweet,” he gave a short chuckle. Kagome pulled back and made a funny face at him, so he leaned in and said, “It’s kissy time. Not chatting time.”

Kagome erupted into laughter. “Kissy time!”

“Yes, first we make the kissies.” He kissed her again, but with more passion, leaving Kagome a bit breathless. 

She nodded. “Yes. The Kissies,” she repeated, now under his spell.

He smirked dangerously and pulled her even closer.  “First, we make the kissies. Then we make the babies.”

Kagome smirked back and pulled Inu Yasha into another kiss. Happy Holidays, indeed.

InuKag were together for a whole year before RT retconned it.

(Reposted from my Twitter. And as a starting disclaimer, yes, I know this was retconned when Kagome had a graduation chapter, but I still enjoy thinking about it.) So I've done a little theory crafting, and I really think InuKag were traveling together a long time before they met their other friends. Possibly even a year before Miroku. Thanks to color versions of pages, we can guess that the manga starts in autumn. Leaf color, falling leaves, the villagers harvesting extra thatch for their homes, and everyone having foggy breath. (This also means Kagome's birthday is probably in autumn!)

The Blank Woman and Sesshoumaru seem to be in winter, because a lot of the trees are finally bare, and Kagome's dressing warmer. Note that Japanese flying squirrels do not hibernate. Though I'll admit this one has less evidence, it seems to match up.

The frog prince arc is spring. Again easy thanks to color pages, and Kagome finally being able to swim.

After meeting Shippou we transition into summer for the poltergeist and spider arcs. Again, Kagome's attire makes this obvious, with her sundresses and short-sleeved summer uniform while eating ice cream. Also the people doing fireworks. Nazuna is also picking Chinese Bellflowers, which are a summer bloom.

I'm guessing Kikyou's resurrection is either late summer or early fall due to the field of pampas grass and the dragonflies.

And we're back around to proper autumn by Miroku's intro chapter. Fallen leaves, hot spring monkeys, and persimmons!

So there you have it! They were "alone" together (sans Shippou lol) for an entire year! I think this makes a lot of things make more sense, like Inuyasha almost kissing her "already" and realizing he likes her by then. There was more one-on-one bonding than we thought! Again, I'm not trying to claim this as absolute canon, since I'm aware Rumiko retconned it later to have Kagome graduate near the end of the series. I hope it hasn't come off as me trying to do anything but point out how the seasons initially played out.

The Christmas Wish (3)

"Sorry, it is a bit of a mess in here," Kagome said, flipping the light switch on. The shed was cramped and filled to the brim with trinkets and cursed objects like severed eyeballs and dragon claws. And yet, despite the monstrosities, the shed smelled like vanilla waffles. "There is this fetus-like thing that feels the same as those fingers. For the life of me, I have no idea where Gramps found it." Kagome shook her head and tried to ignore the tightening of her stomach. Gojo Satoru was really tall and the hint of blue that peeked out every now and then from the dark shades was enough to have her contemplating writing a letter to Santa, too.

"Is your grandfather a serial killer?" Satoru joked, pressing his body against hers as he reached around her to grab the jar in question. Kagome blushed, her cheeks tingled, and were probably bright pink like the suckers Shippo always requested. "This is a womb painting," he said, pulling away.

Kagome sucked in a breath and wiped her hands on the front of her shirt. She needed to pull it together. "That doesn't look like a painting." Someone must have mercy on her because her voice did not shake, though her legs felt like a puddle of goo. "But it's a curse?"

Satoru held the jar up closer to the light and hummed. "It's half curse, half human." The jar glowed green for a moment, or it could have been the way the light reflected on the liquids.

"Oh! InuYasha is half demon. But why would someone keep the remains of a child?" To be fair, Kagome was not sure why her grandfather had picked up this particular item, but perhaps he felt it was cursed as well.

Satoru froze and tilted his head to the side, causing his shades to slide down. "Demons are compatible with humans?" Something in his voice gave her pause, but she was not certain if it was genuine curiosity or something more that led him to ask such a question.

Kagome nodded. "Depends on the size, of course. A dragon that doesn't have a more human-like form wouldn't be able to mate with a human." Kagome motioned with her hands. "The logistics of it wouldn't work out." She grimaced. The image alone gave her a shudder of fright.

Satoru clucked his tongue and leaned in closer to Kagome. She took a step back until her back hit the shelf behind her. "What are you doing?"

"I'm not sure," he admitted. "Did you put a spell on me?" His voice lowered and did something to Kagome's psyche.

This would not do. Satoru was a stranger. A hot, powerful stranger if the energy swelling around him was anything to go off on, but still a stranger.

Kagome huffed. "I'm a priestess, not a witch. The only sorcerer in here is you." Her tongue darted out to wet her suddenly dry lips. She should have put some chapstick on before venturing out into the cold. Satoru placed the jar on the shelf behind her. He was so close, his body heat threatened to become her own. Her heart pounded so hard she could feel it in her throat. "Gojo-san—"

"Satoru."

"Satoru," she corrected herself, pushing against his chest. "Was there something else you needed?" Kagome averted her eyes. His chest was as hard as granite. "There are more items like those fingers if you want to take them."

"Can I take anything in this shed?"

Kagome wrinkled her nose and mulled over his words. There were a lot of items that Gramps did not need to hold on to and with her spending the bulk of her time in the past, she did not have time to seal every item her grandfather brought back. "If that is what you wish."

Her stomach churned with need. She wanted to fan herself, but she resisted and instead gripped his jacket to push him away or to pull him away. She was not sure.

"What if I want you?"

Kagome squeaked like a mouse caught in a mousetrap. She should have seen that coming. How many times had she seen Miroku manipulate someone? "Me? I'm not a cursed object," she said with a nervous laugh. Her hands tightened before she was cognizant of what she was doing. Kagome blinked as her body warmed over. Oh. She should let him go. Her hands dropped to her side, though her palms burned and itched with need.

Satoru took a step back and tugged at his hair. "Sorry, I was..." he trailed off and blew out a breath. "Are you sure about us joining you for dinner?"

The change in subject gave her whiplash, but she was grateful for it all the same. Distance was what they both needed. Or maybe just her. Kagome inhaled, trying to get her heart to beat normally, but the thing kept ticking faster as though every moment away from Satoru was strenuous, which was weird. She had never felt this way about any man, human or demon. Why does it feel as though breathing is suddenly so much harder without his body pressed against hers?

Perhaps he had placed a spell on her then.

Kagome crossed her arms. She did not miss how Satoru's shades slid down once more, nor how his eyes glittered like diamonds. "Are you actually human?"

Satoru frowned. "What makes you think I'm not?"

Kagome shrugged. "You're too attractive." There she said it. He was beautiful, like Sesshomaru. No human was that attractive. Surely there was demon somewhere in his bloodline for him to be so god-like in his appearance. An incubus perhaps? Those eyes of his were bewitching.

Satoru laughed. "I'm definitely human." He stuffed his hands into his pockets and rocked on his heels. "Does the dinner invite extend to the rest of the week?"

Kagome chewed on her bottom lip as she thought about his question. Shippo and Megumi were hitting it off. "Yes." She looked at him then. "Could you tell me what Megumi and Tsumiki like? I would like to get them presents as well." She would like to get him a gift as it was only fair, but her tongue refused to cooperate any further. Christmas Eve was tomorrow and while the stores would be packed, she had hoped she could find something for Megumi and Tsumiki.

Satoru stopped rocking on his heels and turned his head towards the door. He scowled when the door flung open and InuYasha poked his head in. "Perhaps we could look at their letters to Santa," he said, though his attention was on InuYasha. His jaw ticked. And maybe she was imagining it, but she liked to think Satoru was upset that they were interrupted.

But what exactly did InuYasha interrupt? She did not have the answer, nor the emotional capacity to give that question the appropriate resources it required. It would have to wait until later when she was tucked in her bed with Shippo cuddled next to her, and the lingering aroma of hot chocolate and cookies in the air.

"The hell is taking you so long?" InuYasha grumbled, pointing a finger at Satoru, who seemed less than amused by InuYasha.

"We were talking," Kagome sighed, turning her back to them so she could grab the jar, but Satoru's words stopped her.

"Leave it. No reason to haul all that right before the holidays."

"Are you sure?"

Satoru nodded. "The seals here are impressive. I'm not concerned." He held a hand for her to take. "I'll go get Tsumiki. Was there anything we should bring for dinner?"

"Oh hell no!" InuYasha griped. "You can't invite strange men to eat with you."

Kagome rolled her eyes and turned her nose up. "So says the man that tried to kill me the first time we met. Satoru has been a gentleman."

"You what?"

"Oh whatever," InuYasha said, ears twitching. "Wasn't tryin' to kill ya. Just scare ya back then." His gold eyes darkened, and he flashed a fang at Satoru. "I'm staying then. Don't get any wise ideas, buddy."

Satoru scoffed, and then his mood sobered. "Are you with him?"

Kagome shook her head. "InuYasha and I are just friends." She wrung her hands. Why did he ask her that? Was it possible that he was serious about wanting her? Kagome lost herself in her thoughts as they made their way back to the house. When Satoru waved goodbye so he could go pick up Tsumiki, Kagome's heart left with him. She sat down at the kitchen table, across from Megumi and Shippo, while she pondered on this.

Something occurred in the shed, but what? She tapped her nails on the table and sighed. She was working herself up for no reason. It was surely plain old attraction. She'd spent too much time in the past running around solving everyone else's problems that she'd neglected her own needs.

And that was to get laid.

Kagome sighed and rested her head on the table. It was not like she could write that in her Christmas letter.

"Mama? Are you okay?" Shippo asked, pausing long enough from writing to asked her.

"Did he do something to you?" Megumi asked. "I can beat him up."

Kagome raised her head and smiled. "I'm fine, you two. Promise. Satoru has been nothing but nice," she added. Kagome pushed back against the table and walked over to the fridge. She should get something started, so Satoru and his crew are not out super late.

"Kagome," InuYasha called. "Need to talk to ya."

Kagome rolled her eyes skyward and scuffed her feet across the kitchen floor, drawing laughter from the children. She smiled and followed InuYasha out of the kitchen and to the living room, where he paced for several seconds and then finally rounded on her once he gathered his thoughts. Or so she assumed. There was no telling when it came to InuYasha, and she long gave up on trying to decipher his mind.

"Him?"

Kagome pressed her lips together in slight agitation. She had an inkling of who he spoke of, but why did he think he had the right to question her? InuYasha was her best friend, but he was also very hypocritical. "Her?" She shot back.

InuYasha scrunched his nose and hmphed as though that would be enough to have her act. Kagome rolled her eyes, making a big show of doing so, because InuYasha needed to know how done she was.

"Are you staying for dinner or going back to her?"

"There is no her, stupid."

Kagome flexed her fingers and puffed her cheeks. She was missing a stress ball. "You don't have to tell me the truth, but at least be honest with yourself."

InuYasha opened his mouth and after a moment, he closed it. His ears dropped and his shoulders sagged as though he had been carrying yet another boulder on his back. "I don't trust the guy."

"You don't trust any guy," Kagome pointed out. "But that's no longer your priority."

She was no longer his priority hung suspended in the air between them. They had tried to make it work to see if, perhaps, without the threat of Naraku looming over them and Kikyo at peace, that they could be more than friends.

Turned out, they couldn't even be fuck buddies. And thus, awkwardness wrapped itself around them and squeezed and squeezed until there was nothing left. Which left Kagome with a void. No matter how much she tried to fill it with doing errands for the villagers, traveling to other towns, or helping out at home on the shrine, nothing worked.

She was, without a sliver of doubt, frustrated. Surely sex was more than what she and InuYasha had attempted. Sango was pregnant again and too often; Kagome had caught Sango and Miroku fucking by the river for the scenery, as Sango once put it. It appeared that everyone other than her was having an amazing sex life.

Perhaps she should have called Hojo back? Kagome sighed and shook her head, ignoring the looks InuYasha shot her way.

"Kagome."

"Just go, InuYasha. I'm fine. Satoru does not mean me any harm."

"You just met the guy?" The suspicion was thick, and Kagome was at the last end of her patience.

"What's her name?"

InuYasha flushed red. He tucked his hands into the sleeves of his haori and wiggled his nose as though he would somehow scent a way out of the situation. "Hana," he relinquished after two minutes. "Are you sure you'll be safe with him?"

While Kagome did not have the answers, InuYasha sought, she pretended she did, if only to get him out of the house. "Yes, he's only showing up for dinner... for the kids." Kagome gnawed on the inside of her cheek, mindful to keep her tongue from running away and sprouting things she would not be able to take back. "Satoru does not want me. He's here for the kids."

InuYasha nodded and looked behind her. Kagome turned and wished that the floor would open up and take her hostage. For once, a kidnapping would have been appreciated. Satoru stood there with a small girl behind his legs, peering at Kagome in wonder. He had changed his outfit into something far more casual and tucked his shades into the pocket of his black shirt.

His eyes sparked with something Kagome dared not to put a name to. Her knees were as weak as Jaken. It was not until after InuYasha had bounded away, back down the well, and into the arms of the woman he had yet to bring around everyone, that Satoru turned his attention to Kagome fully. She tipped her head back and straightened her shoulders. Tsumiki disappeared down the hall and into the kitchen to join Shippo and Megumi with writing a letter to Santa.

"You think I don't want you?"

Kagome's face warmed, but she prided herself on keeping a steady voice. "I think that you are caught up in the moment and are simply grateful for Megumi's safe return." Too many demons and humans have declared their undying love to her over the years because of a simple, nice deed. Satoru proved to be no different.

Or so she thought.

***

A/N: You don't see this because it's not Saturday. But if you do see this...I started reading Morning Glory Milking Farm which has nothing to do with this update but you should know about this monster romance book lol.

Ages: Megumi is 8. Satoru is 20. Kagome is 21. Shippo is 60+

Fun fact, when I started this story, I wrote it in past tense because I wasn't confident that I would be able to keep the storylines straight. So I wrote it in past tense to force my brain to think about the story differently.

Take care! I hope your Monday is going well and make sure to stay hydrated!...or else lol.

NOTES

- I REALLY need help for this AU, most notebly the character assigning and the characters that need to be added, either for Undertale or missing characters in Evillious.

- If insane enough, I'll even add Deltarune and UTY characters, though that's very much not gonna happen.

- Bold characters in 'Remaining Roles' are characters who aren't played by Vocaloids.

- This blog will mostly focus on Sanvia and Paphemo cuz they're my favorites, but I'll post other characters as well.

- You can ask more questions about this AU in the asks. Please do not mention the blog unless it's fanart.

- There's only one person working on this AU and moderating the blog and that's me, @angelp-official , so ABSOLUTELY DO NOT expect me to complete everything before the year ends or anything.

————————————————————————————

That's all I can say now, hope you'll enjoy my works!

[inukag-archive]

Hi I've been searching for this fic for a long time and I've been going crazy!! It starts off with Inuyasha and miroku in their own dojo teaching a class. Kagome and souta are students ( I think) and Inuyasha has a massive crush on kagome. Sango family died (except for her brother who is still alive) and she goes to Inuyasha dojo to train. The best part that I can remember is Inuyasha calling kagome's mum asking if she can be an instructor,but she miss leads it as a blessing to ask out her daughter. Any clue of what the name is?

Hello Anon,

You're not crazy! Just looking for an oldie (but goodie!) over on the haunted fandom relic that is MediaMiner.

𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝟾 - 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚃𝚘 𝙲𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝙰𝚍𝚘𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝙸𝚗𝚞-𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚔𝚊𝚒

Rating: M-E

Genre: Alternate Universe, Urban Fantasy / Paranormal

Excerpt Below:

The family gathered at the table for an impromptu family meeting. Inuyasha sat at the far end of the table, arms crossed as the family, sans Miroku observed him like he was an alien. In that moment he might as well have been a little green ghoul from outer-space with the way they kept poking at his ears as if unconvinced that they weren't a real part of his body.

"Can you all cut it out already!" The teen hollered, annoyed at the poking.

"And you knew about this, Miroku?" Kyo spoke, focusing his attention on his son.

"Well, yeah." Miroku chimed in. "I mean just look at him, the white hair, golden eyes, and what human boy has teeth like this?" he said, forcibly opening Inuyasha's mouth to show off the teen's abnormally sharp canine teeth. Inuyasha smacked Miroku's hand away.

Kyo sat down in his chair, completely confused at what he just saw. "Inuyasha is a youkai. A youkai. youkai are real. We have one, living here."

"Told you I wasn't crazy, pops. And you wanted to pawn me off on Mushin as soon as I brought up the fact that I can see these creatures. I believe vindication is in order?"

"Not now, Miroku." Kyo commanded. "Now what to do with Inuyasha. The neighbors cannot see him like this, nobody can." Kyo looked at Inuyasha. "How do you even exist?!" He yelled, still trying to wrap his head around the real-life youkai living in his house.

"Well, funny story about that." Inuyasha started to speak, leaning back in his chair. "My parents fucked."

"Or do you need me to sugar-coat it for the brat? How about this, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much..."

"Stop, Inuyasha. I think they get it." Miroku said. Cutting off the sarcastic hanyou teenager.

This chapter is translated by Jelly!

Location: Aomori - Miroku Yokocho

Netaro: So uwehy are we heree again? It was the same for Hakodate, do you twins like going north that much~?

Toi: Um well…

Toi: (We’re looking for a clue on how to exorcise A-chama… that's not really something we can tell the others.)

Ryui: We’re looking for a man. A guy called Morozumi Miura.

Ryui: I went to Hakodate ‘cause I was looking for him.

Netaro: Hmmmm.

Nagi: That’s news to me.

Ryui: Yeah, ‘cause I’ve never mentioned it before.

Toi: (An unfamiliar name…)

Toi: Is this the person who took care of you when you left home, Ani-sama? That lawyer person…?

Ryui: Yeah. Well, how do I put it… he’s an ol’ softie.

Ryui: He even fixed the protective charm you made for me when it got all burnt up.

Toi: My… protective charm…?

Toi: (Someone, somewhere, touched the charm I personally made for Ani-sama…?)

Nagi: Why are you looking for this Morozumi Miura person?

Ryui: That’s got nothing to do with you.

Nagi: Huh…?

Ryui: Toi and I’ll go look for him in our spare time, so don’t worry about it. That’s that.

Nagi: ……

Toi: …Yup. That’s right. It’ll be fine with just the two of us.

Toi: But thank you for worrying, Nagi-kun.

Nagi: You’re… welcome.

Nagi: (…I guess this is a matter that concerns just the two of them... A "family" matter.)

Chief: …

Chief: (I wonder if this is related to that so-called “Oshisha-sama” we talked about in the car last time on the way to Angel Eye?)

Chief: (If that’s the case, it might be a bit personal to bring up to everyone right now…)

Chief: Got it. If you need any help, feel free to ask whenever.

Yodaka: Exactly. Don't be shy. Yasutane Shiina*. Asian rice.

Toi: Okay, we will!

Chief: (Yodaka-san’s saying some weird things again.)

Daniel: ‘Kay, well good luck. Anyways, back to drinking.

Waiter: Here’s your deep-fried whole garlic.

Netaro: Yaaaay! I wonder if I can fit the whole thing in my mwouth?

Ryui: Oi, I ordered that. Don’t fucking take my shit.

Netaro: Dingy stingy~.

Ryui: Toi. I’ll take them out for you, so gimme a sec.

Toi: …Okay, thanks.

Daniel: It’d probably be good even with the peel.

Ryui: Here… Be careful, it’s hot.

Toi: …

Ryui: …You think you can eat it?

Toi: …If it’s just a bite.

Ryui: I see. Don’t force yourself.

Yodaka: Now that you mention it, Toi’s chopsticks haven’t been moving all that much today.

Toi: I-I’m not that hungry.

Chief: Then how about some grilled scallops*? The miso on top is all nice and bubbly, it’s really good!

Toi: Um, well…

Ryui: …Toi.

*Ryui gets up from his seat*

Toi: Ani-sama. Are you going outside?

Ryui: I was thinking of getting some fresh air while heading to the bathroom. Do you wanna come with?

Toi: Sure, give me a second!

Toi: Sorry Chief. You can have the scallops.

Chief: Oh… sure, be careful.

*Toi gets up from his seat*

Netaro: Thwey can’t go wee-wee alone?

Daniel: Those two've been joined at the hip even more than usual since we got here.

Toi: Haa… I-It’s so cold~…!

Ryui: Here, come closer.

Toi: Okay…

*Toi snuggles closer to Ryui*

Toi: …

Toi: (…We’re being watched. It started ever since we stepped foot into Aomori…)

Toi: (There is a small one on the roof, and one of unknown-size hiding in the pole’s shadow…)

Ryui: —Looks like I really can’t come here without you.

Toi: Can you sense them too, Ani-sama?

Ryui: Yeah, somewhat.

Toi: I guess you can sense the one on that pole even without any spiritual power…

Ryui: Not like I need anyone but you being fond of me. ‘Cause of these guys, I can't go to places with strong spirituality.

Ryui: But if I can find Morozumi-san here, then we’ll finally be able to get some info on that shitty demon.

Toi: You don’t have… um, Morozumi-san’s contact?

Ryui: Uhh. I mean… I threw away the business card he gave me. Call it puberty or whatever, but I sucked shit at keeping important things on me…

Toi: Oh…

Ryui: But I know for sure his base is in Aomori.

Ryui: I won’t cause any trouble for the guys on the Night team. We’ll kill off Astaroth and wrap up this study tour with zero problems.

Ryui: I’ll make sure to free you this time around.

Toi: …Thank you, Ani-sama.

Toi: Um… should I divine Morozumi-san’s location?

Ryui: *scoffs* That bastard would have some serious lack of self preservation to tell us the location of its biggest threat. But more importantly…

Ryui: I won’t let you use its powers.

Toi: —Okay.

Toi: (Ani-sama hates them after all…)

Toi: Then I’ll wait here for you.

Ryui: Got it. I’ll be right back.

*Ryui goes to the bathroom*

Toi: *sigh*…

*Toi starts stepping on the snow*

Toi: (I like the feeling of the snow crunching under my feet.)

Toi: But… Ani-sama said before that he didn’t like that.

Toi: Because once the dirt mixes with the perfectly white snow…

Toi: It becomes dirty and melts away.

Toi: …

Toi: I… want to show Ani-sama how pretty the snow can be as I walk on it.

Toi: (Because… Ani-sama means the world to me.)

Toi: The one hiding in the pole’s shadow… Are you--—

Toi: My rival…?

*popping sounds*
