So Descendants of Darkness randomly popped up in my head again. That (and these two showing up in my dream for some reason) motivated me to paint this.

A collection of Yami no Matsuei doodles from a fic I never finished. The basic story is that Hisoka finishes up in the imaginary world and his and Tsuzuki's help is requested in Kamakura, bc it's such a mess there Tatsumi and Watari needed backup lol so here's some scenes I illustrated.

First: they needed to draw Yatonokami out of the house to properly take it on in battle. It was Hisoka's job to act as bait and lure him out- to great success, for better or worse.

Next: some villager or the mayor or whatever (all the villagers saw the fight bc it was outside) is like Ohh he's like Ren reincarnated :D and nagare's like pls no (oh yeah Nagare knows the truth that Hisoka, as well as Tatsumi, Watarai, and Tsuzuki are all shinigami at this point). Nagare does not appreciate Hisoka's little remark lol

Finally: the village holds a party! It's hard to read maybe, so they're saying "A celebration for the continued banishment of Yatonokami, and the return of our heir!" They were all told Hisoka's death was a lie, to protect him while he recuperated from his illness away from the house.

Hisoka is worrying about how to get out of this, meanwhile Tsuzuki is just looking forward to the celebration feast haha

It looks amazing like I genuinely thought that it's from the manga-

the way i would give anything for a yami no matsuei reboot just so it could be animated in the gorgeous original art style

hisoka looked so beautiful and tsuzuki had those terribly sexy giant shoulders of 90s anime like they were always serving

"I decided a long time ago that I belong right here... by your side."

@stardstschlar continue from here

Over time, Jotaro had managed to learn that both he and the Shinigami had much in common. There were still some things that they had differences in, like: Tsuzuki had a major sweet tooth, the Joestsr was not very big on sweets. Their age differences; the other man would have been well into old age by this point, and here Jotaro was in his mid-40's. The things they had in common? Really fucked up minds because of trauma. And they simply understood one another. While the brunette was the more talkative of the two, they still hadn't needed to say much to one another for them to get what was happening. The Joestar also happened to notice just how close they were getting, and that scared him more than anything. He was well aware of his track record with people, but the Shinigami had been...different. He was kind, accepting, and willing to give. But he'd also been completely broken by a man that Jotaro still wanted to throat punch and end with his own hands. No one had deserved to go through what either of them had gone through, much less the torment that his companion had been subject to.

Jotaro had one of his own spiraling days. One of those days where everything in his head had become too much to bear, too much to push back. He didn't want the other seeing him in such a state so he did the best thing he could do; pull back and hide. The raven haired stand user was standing outside of a hotel room, the balcony being a safe spot for him to catch a breath and work through his thoughts. The itching need for a cigarette rising, though there wasn't a store close enough and he didn't want to break that streak. Footsteps sounded from behind, a gentle touch placed to his bicep pulled the man from his thoughts. A confused look upon his features as he faced Tsuzuki, teals searching the other man's face. Why was he out here? Had Jotaro done something wrong again? Not seeing any signs that the Shinigami was upset with him, the Joestar hesitantly raised a hand to grasp the one upon his arm. "You shouldn't be out here." He spoke up, giving a gentle squeeze to the hand before pulling his own away. There was a risk in letting the other into his mind, one he wasn't willing to take for fear of losing the other. It was only fair he keep the other man at a distance, wasn't it? Like he had always fonr to everyone else in his life. So then; why was he not pushing more for Tsuzuki to go back inside? "You really...don't want to be near me right now." Jotaro murmured, a tremble running through him.

Hearing that statement; 'I let my actions speak for themselves,' that had certainly made the Joestar look back at the Shinigami in surprise. Tsuzuki had wanted to be near him, to offer a comfort that neither one had been offered much of in the past. Taking a deep breath his hand raised again to grasp the other man's, gently pulling it from his arm only to hold it between two larger hands. "Is...Is this okay?"

Realization  over  their  common  point  has  been  a  step  who  mostly  generated  an  deep  fondness,  each  time  he  was  recalling  their  mutual  situation.  Something  who  also  created  further  awareness  about  how,  silently,  he  came  to  catch  up  …  feelings.  Emotions  he  wanted  to  lose  himself  in,  but  at  the  same  time,  doing  what  was  necessary  mentally  to  not  feel  like  he  was  entering  a  forbidden  space  and  crossing  a  line  he  shouldn't.  Opening  Pandora's  box,  whether  abruptly  or  gently,  could  reduce  the  hope  inside,  and  he  didn't  want  to  ruin  his  relationship  with  him  by  imposing  emotions  he  probably  didn't  feel.  Nothing  would  really  be  the  same  when  everything  will be  said  clearly,  huh  ?  Almost,  he  could  have  been  ready  to  bring  up  his  past  relationship  with  Tatsumi-san  over  that  point  ---  once  admitted,  these  emotions  would  have  to  been  embraced  and  assumed  in  one  way  or  another,  and  from  his  own  traumatic  memories,  it  would  be�� an  matter  of  time  until  his  behavior  causes  …  weariness.  Well,  he  was  scared  it  might  be  the  case  once  more,  that  for  sure.  Hisoka-kun  presence  remind  him  always  it  wasn't  going  to  be  what  going  to  happens,  that  no  matter  how  he  could  feel  down  or  not  feeling  at  best  mentally,  he  was  going  to  be  rejected  on  the  second.  There  was  that  trust  if  someday  he  needed  distance  from  him,  for  whatever  reason,  it  wouldn't  mean  it  has  been  something  he  caused.  Concerning  feelings  topic,  his  brain  turned  inside  an  intensive  mess,  in  which  acompagnied  fear  to  not  be  enough  or  be  reduced  to  an  single  body  tourmented  his  brain.  He  just  became  …  attached  …  in  an  manner  he  didn't  wanted  to  explain  himself.  He  wanted  Jotaro-kun  to  be  happy  on  his  presence,  to  be  happy  in  general,  to  embracing  his  life  as  he  should  be  …  the  longer  he  could  …  the  longer  his  presence  in  return  will  not  be  some  kind  of  annoyance.  A  long  time  ago,  evolution  concerning  Hisoka-kun  and  Hijiri-kun  relationship  who  became  close,  who  wished  to  remain  together  no  matter  how  usually  Shinigami  laws  worked,  has  been  making  him  temporary  wish  to  touch  same  happiness  of  Hisoka-kun.  In  which,  actually,  he  perceived  Pandora's  box  been  exposed  when  poor  Hijiri-kun  trapped  in  middle  of  the  Witch  of  Illusions  business  defended  Hisoka-kun  getting  another  time  martyrized.  An  working  partner  who  had  to  realize  he  had  feelings,  and  admit  them  publicly,  after  becoming  seriously  offended  by  seductive  attempts  of  a  kid wishing oral confirmation.

Oldest  antecedent  of  a  relationship  he  had  had  had  been  Tatsumi-san,  in  which  his  dark  thoughts  had  been  too  much,  and  his  guilt  as  a  Shinigami  had  pushed  him  to  remain  distant,  where  everything  that  had  happened  remained  behind  him.  Otherwise,  there  was  Muraki.  He  didn't  even  wanted  to  bouce  back  mentally  over  the  second  point.  He  had  lost  all  hope  of  ever  being  wanted,  having  known  a  man  who  had  indeed  wanted  him,  physically,  sexually,  fully  ---  but  not  in  sweetest  of  final  objectives,  which  had  almost  pushed  him  to  want  to  disappear.  Compared  to  Hisoka-kun  who  was  young  but  could  compromise  all  the  seriousness  of  his  work,  he  carried  the  weight  of  his  job  and  his  identity  as  a  Shinigami.  He  might  looking  young,  but  he  had  been  in  this  job  for  a  long  time,  and  remained  semblance  of  an  adult,  because  without  Hisoka-kun,  little  administrative  things  would  be  difficult  to  sort  out.  He  had  only  told  himself  that  if  he  could  weaken  the  weight  of  Jotaru-kun's  traumas  for  a  single  moment,  that  he  could  feel  more  free  from  all  the  pressure  he  had  experienced,  that  he  could  touch  something  else  from  what  he  had  experienced,  he  would  have  served  some  purpose.  Focusing  on  that  kept  him  from  wanting  to  ask  for  more  than  he  could  afford  to  receive,  or  from  subjecting  him  to  the  imposition  of  unsolicited  emotions.  He  even  tried  avoid  his  depressive  phases  to  be  oppressive.

Long  experience  he  had  with  Hisoka-kun,  especially  afterwards  the  Witch  of  Illusions,  made  him  immediately  alert  whenever  something  was  wrong.  He  personally  avoided  showing  all  the  distress  of  the  days  when  he  wasn't  well,  contenting  himself  with  remaining  in  his  thoughts  and  remaining  a  little  distant,  but  without  giving  the  impression  that  it  had  been  his  fault.  After  suffering  from  a  mirror  continually  reflecting  his  own  behavior,  any  sign  was  looked  at  carefully,  seeking  the  middle  ground  for  action.  Hence,  automatically,  he  wanted  to  show  he  was  here.  Automatically,  he  wanted  bring  that  natural  reassurance  in  which  these  darkest  thoughts  would  be  away,  limiting  about  what  he  could  confess  concerning  concerned  feelings  he  had.  He  had  been  lucky  to  have  come  across  such  a  compassionate  person  who  wanted  to  provide  justice  similar  to  that  of  his  working  partner,  who  didn't  hold  it  against  him  for  being  who  he  was,  and  who  didn't  carry  any  additional  guilt  for  being  a  Shinigami.  It  was  something  he  could  try  to  thank  him  for  day  after  day.  During  that  time,  since  he  was  pretty  much  reading  something  to  keep  up  to  date,  his  attention  was  fixed  on  him  when  he  went  to  take  refuge  on  the  balcony,  although  he  waited  a  few  seconds  before  advancing  a  little  closer.  He  was  used  to  this  situation  and  intended  to  give  him  time  to  decide  whether  he  wanted  to  explain  himself  or  not.  He  wanted  to  avoid  getting  the  wrong  idea  and  being  disappointed.  Despite  a  desire  to  imagine  that  he  would  take  the  news  in  a  good  light,  his  heart  already  shattered  by  Muraki  was  in  danger  of  collapsing  before  the  other  blow  imposed  on  a  brutally  broken  glass.  The  Witch  of  Illusions  witch  had  pushed  him  to  his  emotional  limit,  it  was  only  a  matter  of  time  before  all  his  illusions  would  shatter,  and  he  would  suffer  same  degrading  fate  as  Lelouch.  Compassionate  expression  was  offered  in  return,  in  which  purple  eyes  just  desired  to  making  him  better.  He  sensed  his  other  hand  into  his,  which  generated  an  smile,  though  there  was  that  fragment  of  instant  he  expected  him  to  push  that  away  ---  ❝  Why  shouldn't  I  ?  ❞  He  asked  gently,  in  which  there  was  an  passing  emotion  going  though  his  eyes  to  having  actually  that  hand  away.  It  was  an  question  without  been  an  question,  as  proximity  of  his  presence  could  be  warm  to  him.  Heaviness  concerning  Jotaro-kun  thoughts,  he  could  understand  that,  nevertheless,  if  he  had  no  clue  about  what  going  on  inside  his  brain,  he  was  limited  to  appease  him  physically  as  he  could.  ❝  Why  shouldn't  I ?  ❞  He  repeated  again,  with  same  patience  he  experienced  with  Hisoka-kun.  ❝  My  hands  can  soothe  all  darkness  you  feel  right  now,  if  you  are  willing  to  accept  them  …  ❞  Another  manner  to  showing  he  was  here.

Which  he  has  made  far  more  obvious  by  expressing  that  following  sentence,  in  which  he  noticed  surprise  back.  Did  it  has  been  so  bad  of  him,  to  wanting  to  reassure  him  at  the  moment  he  was  crumbling  inside  his  head  ?  He  would  have  wanted  someone  here  if  this  was  for  his  personal  case,  he  searched  to  thoughtfully  perceiving  circumstances  in  an  bright  side.  If  Jotaro-kun  let  him  in,  inside  his  own  mind,  inside  his  own  soul,  he  would  doing  his  best  for  removing  darkness  he  was  victim  of,  and  bring  all  brigtness  he  could  ---  only  if  he  wanted  to  let  him  in.  Perceiving  understanding  and  sort  of  thanking  towards  desired  support,  meanwhile  his  hands  returned  into  his,  in  which  he  sensed  himself  blushed  a  little,  that  time  around,  there  was  no  immediate  trembling  from  his  hand.  He  wanted  instead  oppossing  tremor  stop.  It  would  never  be  like  Muraki  coming  from  his  hands,  to  whom  softness  was  indeed  first  emotion  he  felt.  He  nodded,  to  which  same  hand  trapped  in  his  sought  to  bring  desired  comfort  in  a  perceptible  innocence.  ❝  Your  touch  is  constantly  gentle,  and  you  need  it  more  than  I  do  right  now  ...  if  I can.  ❞
