Usagi Yojimtober Day 27 - River

It always appeared to me that Noriyuki has a similar age to Tsuruichi (Mifune's son) before he died. Maybe just a little younger. And well, we see along the saga how Noriyuki gets older and I wonder, how would have been if they got to grow up together...? One of this silly thoughts of mine.

Tomoe and Usagi were supposed to watch them,,, they got distracted ONE second lol

In an alternative universe where Lord Mifune and Lord Mataichi were really close friends and therefore their sons too.

Wrote this for another thing but i know I'm not gonna be able to wedge it in so I’m chucking it out here! Spoilers for Travels with Jotaro / Fathers and Sons (and also Usagi’s backstory):

Usagi's heart is in his throat.

He splashes along the bank of the river calling Jotaro's name, scanning the rocks and run-offs and shallow pools for a flash of white fur or purple kimono, dreading what he's going to find. Surely Kenichi taught him how to swim. Was he even conscious when he went in the water? Was he hurt? The current is so strong here - how far would it have dragged his body before it spit him out? How deep is it? Could he have gotten caught between the rocks?

He's so small….

What if Usagi already passed by him without noticing?

Usagi stumbles to a halt, wracked with indecision. His chest heaves. He scans the river up and down. The cold water froths around the rocks undisturbed. Jotaro could be drowning. He could be bleeding. He could have broken all of his bones.

Gods, Usagi thinks, charging ahead, Please let him be safe. Please let me find him.

The light starts to fade quickly under the trees. Well before the sun has properly set, Usagi is forced to slow his pace so he doesn't miss Jotaro in the gathering dark. When it falls completely, he has no choice but to stop. He paces fretfully. It’s pointless to fumble around in the pitch black.

Usagi sits on the bank with his face in his hands - he can't bear looking at the river - and strains his ears for the faintest sound of a familiar little voice calling his name over the trickling water.

….It's been a long time since he found himself thinking of the night his Lord became a widow and childless, but his mind won't settle and it's hours before moonrise. Adachigahara is so fresh in his mind, it often feels as if he lived it yesterday. But it was the ninja attack that changed the trajectory of Usagi's life, and so many others. It gets pushed into the back of his mind, a quiet lapse in his own judgement, simply because he hadn't known better at the time.

He had only been in Lord Mifune's service for two years. He did what he was told to do and followed his senior's lead during a crisis.

Gunichi was right. Usagi did have a duty to protect his Lord. It had felt foolish to have to be reminded of that in the moment - but Usagi should have followed his instincts that night. He should have gone to Tsuruichi and Lord Mifune's wife.

It might have made all the difference in the world.

It would have been worth any punishment.

Usagi remembers how quiet Lord Mifune's halls were in the long months that followed. He remembers how lonely the gardens seemed. He remembers the shroud of grief and anger that laid over the castle, and how Mifune wrapped it around himself and wore it like a second skin. How it bowed his shoulders and darkened his eyes. How he cared for nothing but revenge and how it drove him to his death, and how Usagi allowed himself to be swept up in the tide without even comprehending it.

He was little more than a child then, himself.

What did he have to weigh it against?

He had been so bitter about his own loss, his own sense of failure. (He had to come to terms with the fact that he was still alive in spite of them.) Now he understands. And he wishes that he didn't. He would burn the world as well for one small child, even if it didn't bring him back.

When the moon rises, Usagi climbs to his feet and continues to search.

-

Jotaro is alive and well and Usagi's relief is beyond measure. He puts a hand on Jotaro's chest as the boy is sleeping that night, in the hay beside Gorogoro. Usagi does it just to feel the rhythm of his breathing, just to let it sooth his heart.

Scrolling through the Touken Ranbu Wiki to check when MikaKogi's yukata are coming out. Then, I stumbled upon this...

If you can't recognize whose silhouettes those belong to then you are wrong.

The OTP of Touken Ranbu is finally getting their kiwames!

Ship: Tsuruichi

oooooh

i’m intrigued, I’ve seen lots of art for them actually and their aesthetic is gorgeous, but I’m not sure I ship them 🤔 not sure if there’s enough of spark between their personalities? Ichigo is so...stable, for his brothers, and Tsuru is...chaos with legs XD 

hmmm I’m intrigued, but don’t really see it myself
