Anon Asked: Ayame eyes her President with a scolding scowl. "When was the last time you slept? Look at you! You're spilling coffee!" @daxghterofdxrkness

It wasn't uncommon for Odette to pull a bit overtime, especially when there was a high stake proposal on the table, and with the few layoffs they'd had lately? Well, she sort of went into double down mode to try and get ahead and catch up where need be as far as presentations were concerned.

Ayame's inquiry was met with a blank, fatigued glance, her brain seemingly trying to process what was just said. However, it wasn't the woman's words that snapped her back to reality, it was the rather uncomfortably hot feeling of the said spilled coffee dripping from the edge of the table and onto her leg . A sputtered yip and a rapid slide back from the drip, the blonde groaned dragging a hand down her face.

'Snapdragons..' Her fingers lazily motioned, instantly grabbing a few paper towels from her desk drawer, she always had some on hand for when accidents happened. 'I apologize, Aya, nothing got ruined I promise, won't happen again.'

( @thewolfisawake​ ) asked:  Ayame, it's all sunshine and rainbows now but you know the honeymoon phase has got to end eventually. And what happens then? If you stay with Aspis, you know he's going to get dragged into the clans' business. We all know how well that went last time. If you leave...well, is that even an option for you? You think you're safe if you go crawling back to Meg? What if she wants more unsavory help this time? Will you do it?

Hard questions // Always Accepting

A beat of silence follows those words. Of course they had a point, Aspis had already been hurt by simply being involved with her from the clans. If she stayed... what would happen to him? He had connections with Kyoko, of course, but... she truly wouldn’t be able to stand it if something happened to him again. “Leaving the honeymoon phase is completely normal in relationships, that’s the least of my worries. But... you’re right. He could get hurt. Because of being close to us and I never want that. Never again.” She could leave, while she knew Bryony wanted her for her abilities, she was still given an option. One she hadn’t answered yet. But if it was for Aspis, she’d leave. “For his safety, I’d leave. While I don’t agree that Meg would ask anything like that of me, if she should, I’ll leave there to. I’ll go anywhere I must if it keeps him safe. There’s no question about it. But if I can’t go to Meg’s...” the one person who was more than capable of keeping the clans away. “Then I don’t know where we’d go. But anywhere is better than staying where he isn’t safe.”

SEND 📔 FOR A JOURNAL ENTRY WRITTEN BY MY MUSE. xxx. a random entry by ayame about bel ~ ♡

    Dear journal, I honestly never have any fucking idea of what to write in you. But today I have to admit... I need to write my feelings about Bel. Hot damn... She may be as crazy as I am and man have I needed someone like that in my life. Someone who will be rebellious and sometimes stupid, but also can keep me in line if I need it. Admittedly I do still have anger issues... God knows it’s dicked me over a hundred times if not more. Yet with Bel that doesn’t seem to be a problem which is a damn miracle if ya ask me. I mean we do have our arguments, but that’s bound to happen with two hot heads like us. At the end of the day... I honestly don’t know where I’d be right now without her. Probably in juvie or something for some dumb shit like shoplifting. I uhh... Guess that’s all for now journal. Smell ya later.

Smash or pass Ayame to Aspis

Smash or Pass [ @for-a-prxce , @thewolfisawake ]

Ayame bit her lip, warm ginger eyes drifting to the side. Arms circled around herself as she seemed to almost shrink even smaller than she already was. Like she was trying her best to just disappear. “I-” brows knit together, a hard swallow taken before finally she sighed and continued. “P-pass,” even with the blush spreading across her cheeks, that didn’t stop the sudden pang shooting through her chest. “I just… I could never do that to him. He’s too nice. Too good. Someone like me would only… I’m bad news for someone like that and I wouldn’t blame him if he ran for the hills.”

To Honor Sensei - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Dinner at Kurenai’s

FFN | AO3

It’s been a couple years now. Kakashi mostly had the parenting thing down, with his  quirks and oddities mixed in of course. Naruto was almost always a happy child, excited to do just about anything. He was good friends with Shikamaru and Choji, and even their friend Ino. Obviously he made friends with all three being as those clans are so close. 

At this moment, Kakashi was lounging in his bed, reading one of Jiraiya’s books. He figured since now the profit from them paid for a lot of his life, he might as well read them as a thanks. However, it was never mentioned by Jiraiya that his series was smutty. But it was also witty and humorous, and had a decent plot line aside from the porn. None of that stopped Kurenai from glaring at him when he had them public though.

Naruto had been in his bed, playing with some stuffed fox that Kakashi got him. He couldn’t help getting him fox things, most of them were adorable. Might not be the only reason.

“Kashi!” Naruto called out from his bed.

The white haired nin smiled softly before meandering over to Naruto’s bedside. “What’s up, kiddo?”

He watched Naruto as he beamed in his little fox onesie. The irony wasn’t lost on Kakashi, it was the whole reason he bought it. He was happy when Choza found it just as humorous. 

“Hungry.” Naruto stated blunty. “Noodles?”

The toddler bounced on the bed, propelled with his excitement at the mere thought of ramen. He watched Kakashi with big wide eyes that were the colour of the sky.

Kakashi watched him with interest before shaking his head and laughing softly.

He brought home Ichiraku one time, and now no other food exists to his little brother. “Naruto, you do know there is food besides ramen, right?” 

Naruto frowned and huffed. “Chouji likes red food.”

“You mean barbeque, right?” Kakashi chuckled once more before swooping him up in his arms. “Besides, your Aunt Kurenai is making dinner and inviting everyone over to eat.”

Naruto’s blue eyes brightened. “Kurkur!” 

“Yes, Kurkur. Now let’s get you dressed, huh? Wouldn’t want to be late, now would we?”

As if they weren’t already. 

He set the voracious boy down. “Go use the bathroom first, remember? Always go before we leave.”

Naruto toddled into the bathroom and proceeded to use his little kid toilet.

Kakashi gathered up a set of clothes. A yellow shirt with the Uzumaki emblem on the front in red, and the Hatake fields on the back in black. A pair of black pants and sandals. Naruto came out of the bathroom and sat on his bed eagerly. 

“Kashi?”

The nin hummed in response at the child’s inquiry as he began redressing him, which was a struggle being as Naruto never wanted to stay still. It had become a silent game(or struggle) the two began to play over the years. “One of these days, very, very soon, you’re gonna learn to dress yourself. He grumbled softly under his breath.

“Choji and Shika be there?”

Kakashi shrugged. “I’m not sure, but maybe.” He slid his shirt over his head and shimmied his pants onto his legs. “Now come on, get your shoes on.”

Naruto gladly put on his shoes and ran for the door. Kakashi silently followed him and down the stairs of the apartment complex. Once they got outside, Naruto stopped and looked up at Kakashi. His eyes were less vibrant now, uncertainty and even fear lying in them.

Seeing those emotions cross his usually cheery little brother always brought a discomfort to him, but he couldn’t do much to stop it besides comforting him. 

Kakashi held out his hand and Naruto grabbed it tightly. He stayed close to Kakashi’s leg as they walked through the village. Kakashi hated how as soon as they left home, his enthusiasm seemed to dull. At least until they reach the destination, like Choza’s or Kurenai’s.

Despite the hokage making it clear Naruto was a hero, and should be remembered as such, of course the villagers couldn’t see it that way. As Naruto got old enough, the Hokage put out an order to not talk about the fox attack in relation to Naruto, as well as a young child being the Fourth’s son. It was done to protect Naruto, from inside and outside of the village.

It angered Kakashi, but now it was different. Naruto could see how people kept their distance from them. The glares, the fear, all that judgement. He didn’t understand it, but it hurt him. The words people dared to throw in the direction of a two year old, who literally doesn’t know anything about the why. Who is literally just an innocent, bubbly little kid. Who isn’t at fault for the circumstances he had at his birth.

“Demon!” A trader.

“Stay away from that child, Ayame!” A mother.

“Don’t come near me!” Another trader.

People shamelessly shying away from them, avoiding them blatantly. Glares, looks of disgust, of fear.

It continues.

Kakashi openly scowled at every single person who dared vocalize their judgements. He felt a burning anger in his chest, taking everything in him to not retaliate back with his own thoughts of their character.

“Naruto!” A cheerful tone.

Kakashi looked towards the noise, before raising his eyebrows. He was pretty sure he had never seen someone who had naturally pink hair, and this was a toddler, so it almost had to be natural. He hadn’t recognized her, but he knew the blonde girl holding her hand was none other than Ino Yamanaka. Obviously Naruto knew her from his time at the Akimichi’s house, just like he knew Shikamaru Nara for the same reason.

“Sakura! Ino!” Naruto’s eyes were excited and he instantly let go of Kakashi's hand to run towards the pair of girls.

Kakashi grinned under his mask. Of course the girl with pink hair is named Sakura. It’s almost too cliche. She sported a red bow tied in her hair. 

Kakashi followed, easily keeping up with him and waved at Inoichi. “Yo.” 

Inoichi nodded with a small smile. “We’re headed to Kurenai’s. Choza said to make sure I brought friends for Naruto.”

Kakashi gave an eye crease towards the clan head. “Of course he did. I’m glad.”

Kakashi watched the three little kids as they talked and chatted as best they could. “Who’s the one with the pink hair?”

Inoichi shrugged. “Ino just met her at the park a couple months ago and they made quick friends.” 

The group continued walking on to Kurenai’s. 

Kakashi and his friends were all about 15-16 now. Kurenai just got her own place and makes a fuss about her friends coming over every so often. She makes a point to have a little mini family out of their few friends.

“Naruto, you’re goofy!” Sakura giggled and held his hand lightly.

Naruto just smiled and kept walking until he recognized Kurenai’s house. “Kurkur!”

She was standing outside, and knelt down as Naruto ran towards her and she swept him up in her arms. “Hi, Naruto! How are you doing?”

He bounced in her arms and kissed her face before hugging her back tightly. “I’m doing good!” He never once lost hold of him, not only being a ninja, but very accustomed to Naruto’s rambunctious nature.

“That’s good!” She pinched his cheek. She looked at Kakashi, and then to Inoichi with the two girls.

  She nodded towards her door. “Choji and Shikamaru are here with Choza-sensei and Shikaku. Plenty of food for everyone!”

Inoichi motioned for the girls to run inside as Kurenai set Naruto down to follow them. Once the kids were out of ear shot, Inoichi looked to Kakashi.

“The villagers. They still don’t accept them, don’t they?”

Kakashi stiffened at the question before Kurenai sighed.

“That explains why you seem to be scowling. What happened?”

The silver haired ninja scoffed. “The usual. Calling him a demon, mothers shuffling their children away. Except now, he understands it. Well, somewhat. Enough for me to see the hurt look on his face.”

Inoichi nodded sadly. “I saw you guys before Sakura spotted you. He clings to you so tightly. At least he has you.”

Kakashi’s expression softened. “He has more than me.” As if on queue, he heard the children squeal with excitement, giggling of all kinds following. 

Inoichi smiled as he laughed softly. “I was just dropping the girls off. Ibiki needs me for Intelligence. Choza will take them back home.” 

Kurenai and Kakashi walked into the house to the site of toy ninja warfare. Kakashi’s eyes widened as he saw the little rubber kunai and shuriken being thrown and dodged about the living room. One bounced off Naruto's forehead and landed on the floor, just for him to pick up the now unclaimed piece of rubber.

“Kashi! It’s like yours!” Naruto held up a kunai, beaming with joy before throwing it, horribly incorrect, at Shikamaru.

Shikaku just laughed at his lazy boy who grumbled in response.

“Shika, get up! Play with us!” Ino stamped her foot at the young Nara.

Kakashi watched the little group of children playing together, and how not one of them was told to stay away from Naruto. Not one of them shying away from him. All of them just being kids, well. As much as kids could be such as ninjas. It was only a matter of time before they would be going to the academy, and sometimes he wondered if he should send Naruto.

Gai was next to him before he knew it, distracted by the sight of the children. “Just what you always hoped for Naruto, isn’t it, Kakashi?” He patted him on the back. “He’ll always have you. But he has them now too, he’ll never be alone.” He smiled way too bright in Kakashi’s opinion but he just nodded softly.

Kurenai started getting plates out to start portioning out the rice and chicken she had made. “Put the kids at the table.”

Kakashi helped set the table up for the kids. “Mini nins, food is ready!”

Asuma came inside with a bag in each hand, smelling of smoke before smiling. “I have fresh squeezed lemonade!”

“Cool!” Choji said as he ran up to be the first to sit at the table. 

All the kids sat at the table together and blew on their food as they ate. Asuma poured them small glasses of lemonade to give to each kid. “There you go!” He ruffled Naruto’s hair affectionately.

As the kids sat in the kitchen everyone sat in the living room to eat their portion.

Kakashi was brimming with happiness, true and full emotion. Ever since he took in his sensei’s son, he’d felt a little happier. But seeing this, feeling like they were at a family gathering, hearing him giggle and laugh and chatter with other kids, warmed his heart. The thing he thought both he and Naruto had lost the night he was born, it was right here in front of them.

“This… This is what Sensei would have wanted for him.” He said softly as his eyes were glued to the children at the table.

Shikaku and Choza nodded softly. “You’re doing well, Kakashi. We’re proud of you, and he would be too.” The elder Nara said.

He knew it meant something, that Nara didn’t put out compliments and comfort very often. He could be a bit of the rougher kind. He always wanted to think he was doing well, because he did his best to take care of Naruto every single day. Even when the little boy acted like such a brat, he just reminded himself that Minato took care of him. And Kakashi knew he was far from easy.

“Won’t be long before those little ones are at the academy. This upcoming generation is something. Every clan has a kid that will be in the same class, plus a few.” Choza mused.

“You know it’s going to us that will be their sensei.” Kurenai said softly. “Wouldn’t it be funny if they put Naruto on your team?”

Kakashi shrugged. “It’s not like I won’t be training him at home, right?” His exposed eye creased in response. “Speaking of, I need to know where those toys came from.”

Shikaku laughed. “I found them at the weapons district. I thought it was funny but those kids sure love them.”

“Kashi!” Naruto called from the table. 

Kakashi looked towards his brother, who had the brightest little smile on his face. He held the fork in his hand, a piece of chicken on the prongs. His eyes were filled with so much joy. It was one of the happiest moments for Kakashi.

“What is it, Naruto?” He inquired from his spot on the floor.

“Dinner is good!” Naruto giggled before turning back to continue eating.

Kurenai smiled and Kakashi just shook his head amiably. “Tell Kurenai that, she cooked it, kiddo.”

Kurenai got up from her spot and placed a kiss on Naruto’s forehead. “I’m glad you like it hon.”

Soon after the kids finished eating and found their way back to the living room. 

Another rubber ninja war started between them. Kakashi tried to show Naruto how to handle a kunai correctly, but his little brother just throwing it like a ball. Kakashi shook his head with a small laugh as one of the rubber toys bounced off his head.

“I’m sorry, Kakashi!” Ino squeaked softly. 

He ruffled the girls hair. “You’re okay, Ino. It was a decent shot.”

They sat around the floor, all laying against Kakashi. Clearly, it was definitely nap time. He laid on the floor as Naruto nestled into his side. The other followed, all clinging to the copy nin in some form. As soon as their snores started, his own followed not too long after. 

Kurenai took a picture, promising Shikamaru and Choza to get copies for them and Inoichi as well. She fetched a blanket to drape over them all and sat on the couch next to Asuma, very pleased.

“It’s just like a little family. If anyone would nap with the children, of course it would be Kakashi, huh?” Asuma shrugged and laughed quietly.

Choza smiled kindly before it turned sad. “It’s a shame that the majority of the village still continues to treat Naruto poorly. He is the very reason we even survived that night.”

Shikaku shook his head. “People will forever judge what they fear, and they fear what they don’t understand.” He looked down, seeing how Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru cuddled on one side of Kakashi, while Naruto and Sakura were on the other.  “I’ll bet he’ll be one hell of a ninja, one day, all of them will. Especially with your generation training them.” He grinned.

A knock sounded on the door and Kurenai looked in it’s direction curiously. “I didn’t think anyone else was coming. Maybe it’s Genma?” The chocolate haired women got up from her seat and went to open the door. 

A red lined face with a lecherous smile greeted her happily. “The Third told me if Kakashi wasn’t home, it was likely he was here.”

“Jiraiya ,it’s been a long time.” Shikaku spoke from the couch as he heard the familiar voice.

Kurenai smiled and opened the door. “He’s here, currently napping with a clan full of children!” 

She led him into her house and into the living room, showcasing the scene of a napping Kakashi with a bunch of toddlers curled up to him. 

Jiraiya smiled softly, before shaking his head. “I just wanted to check in on Naruto. He’s gotten so big!” 

Kurenai nodded softly. “There’s some chicken and rice in the kitchen if you would like some.” 

Jiraiya nodded as he got himself some food. “You know, I have a picture of Minato somewhere napping just like that with his team…” Jiraiya spoke softly. “When he had first got Kakashi, Obito, and Rin. Except Kakashi isn’t exactly cuddling but he refused any sort of physical contact.” The elder nin chuckled softly.

He sat down and ate his serving. “How is Kakashi, himself?” 

He turned his gaze towards his friends. 

“Kakashi is so much better. He takes Naruto to clean Rin and Obito’s graves. And to the fourth’s grave.” Gai gushed. “It’s terribly saddening to Kakashi that Naruto can’t know the fourth was his father, but he tells Naruto everyday how much his parents love him.” His eyes were tearing up with passion.

Asuma sighed before looking at Jiraiya. “He’s doing pretty good, considering. I’d actually say he shows more emotions now than before,” The young Sarutobi laughed. “He adores Naruto.”

Kurenai nodded in affirmation of the first two’s words. She looked at Choza and Shikaku. “He really started to get better once Naruto got some friends, starting Choji, which obviously led to Ino and Shikamaru as well.”

Jiraiya smiled. “Of course Kakashi started with Choza.” He laughed softly. “You’re probably the least intimidating leader of the clans.”

“Choza-sensei is wonderful and kind hearted, and he would have never turned Naruto away!” Gai proclaimed, causing his sensei to laugh.

Kakashi slowly opened his eyes, and began to carefully extract himself from the future ninjas around him. He rubbed his exposed eye bleary, before seeing Jiraiya. His eyes widened in surprise before he gave an eye crease.

“Yo.” He waved softly before standing up. “Did you know they make rubber kunai toys?”

Jiraiya looked at the teen before shaking his head and laughing obnoxiously. “I did, most ninja families buy them for their kids.”

“Naruto refuses to even try throwing it correctly.” Kakashi sighed. 

He looked down at Naruto, or rather all of the children as a warmth filled his heart. “They’re all just so…”

“Innocent.” Shikaku finished with a smile. “They haven’t seen anything cruel this world has to offer, like we have.”

Kakashi sighed softly before looking at Jiraiya. “Is something up? You don’t usually visit without a purpose.”

  “Actually, nothing is wrong now. I just wanted to see the kiddo, and check on you.”

Kakashi nodded softly. Looking down at Naruto, made him wish for Minato at this moment. How it should be him and Kushina enjoying moments like this, not him. Jiraiya checks on them, not him. Naruto probably would be at the Uchiha’s clan’s house right now, because Kushina and Mikoto were such good friends. Sometimes he wondered if he should reach out to them, but then he remembered they all have a distrust for him. That some of them think he stole Obito’s eyes…

“What’s with the sudden forlorn look?” Shikaku asked.

Kakashi sighed softly before shaking his head. “Nothing, just… It’s nothing.” 

Kakashi gently picked up Naruto. The toddler grumbled softly in his sleep but did not wake up. “It was nice coming over dinner and watching him play with his friends. Thank you, everyone.” He paused before giving an eye crease and walking out of Naruto’s house.

Kurenai paused before sighing softly. “There’s moments like this, where he checks out for a second, and then leaves… They aren’t often, and I think it’s something specific.”

Jiraiya smiled sadly. “I think I know what it is…” He soon followed the young ninja back home.

Other Reasons to Stay Awake at Night

AO3   FF.NET

A/N: I wrote a short one shot based on this idea, but I really wanted to expand on it :) This will be a few chapters long (Less than 10).

Akitoki Hojo was a catch, and Kagome was sick and tired of hearing it.

Hojo was nice, and that’s really all she could say about him. He checked in after her for years when she was in the feudal era, concerned over the plethora of illnesses her grandfather had invented, often dropping off small gifts on her doorsteps to try and give her relief. She had thought it sweet at first, but when time dragged on and the inquiries and packages continued, she had to admit she was slightly put off. Hojo didn’t know her exceptionally well- even her friends didn’t ask after her as much as he did- and yet he still seemed as interested as the first day he asked her out.

Once Kagome had returned home and began to appear in public somewhat regularly, (her illnesses had mysteriously cleared up- a miracle, really) he was the first to knock on her door with a bouquet of flowers in hand and a date on his lips. She had postponed, but he was undeterred. He showed up time and again, each visit had her mother swooning like a schoolgirl herself.

‘He’s such a nice young man,’ she would say. ‘So well mannered and kind. If I were a few years younger-!’

Add in her grandfather's similar remarks, mixed with her friends approving appraisal of his physique and it all added up to a giant headache for her. They meant well, she really, really knew they did, but it was hard to imagine going out on a date with Hojo when she could hardly leave her bed. She saw ghosts at every corner, memories of a dog demon haunted her house and her dreams. She’d walk down the road and find herself falling back into the past, mirages of small huts instead of skyscrapers lining the street, a demon prowling around every corner; panic flooded her when a passing car would lay on their horn, jolting her back to the present. Every area of her life seemed to have Inuyasha and their history embedded, and she didn’t know what to do other than leave her bedroom window open at night for him.

It had been her mother’s doing, these dates with Hojo. Kagome had been in the yard, bow tightly gripped in her hand as she let loose arrow after arrow, her muscles tight and tense from months of neglect. Sure, she practiced, but aiming at a target and aiming at a foe were two totally different workouts. She shot until the sweat beaded down her skin, the sun burning hot as she collected her fallen arrows and drew back the string again. Her mother had approached, her small, gentle hand stilling on her shoulder, a look of concern in her eyes. Her mother wanted to help, but had no idea how. She was worried, but did not know why. She reasoned that it must be over Inuyasha, and she wasn't entirely wrong. The hanyou was only one of the reasons she couldn't sleep at night.

‘He’s a nice boy, Kagome. Inuyasha is gone. You might just find you enjoy Hojo’s company.’  She had given her a smile laced with concern, and Kagome felt she had no option but to nod her head and agree to go out.

So that’s how she found her Friday nights became a standing date with Akitoki Hojo. The first time he had taken her out, they had gone to a small noodle shop and Kagome cried. She had wanted Inuyasha to try this Ramen so badly; it was flavorful, but not too spicy. She had tried it with Ayame, and immediately wished she was sharing a bowl with him instead. She knew he would never be able to enter the shop, even with a hat covering his ears, so she had ordered take out for him. The moment she had it in her hands, she had rushed through the well with the steaming bowl, eager to impress him with a dish that wasn’t instant.

She had tried to put on a brave face; After all, Hojo had done nothing to deserve a date covered in tears. He had simply taken her to get a tasty meal and she cried so hard she hiccuped. He smiled fondly at her, pearly white perfect teeth beaming at her. She was so happy to go out she was moved to tears, he said. Of course she was! Who wouldn’t be thrilled to dine out when they had spent the last several years bedridden. As he handed her a cloth to dry her face he smiled, and Kagome couldn't notice his lack of fangs.

Without a doubt, the man was skilled at polite conversation, and Kagome wasn’t sure if she was thankful for it or not. He had an amazing ability to keep the dialogue going, never touching on anything deep or delicate, choosing to keep all topics well, topical. A lull in the conversation did not seem to bother him, easily finding a subject that they could discuss. It was tiresome to keep up with him, the constant chatter about trivial things made her head ache. It was better, she supposed, that he fill the silence as she stared at him, lost in a world of her own.

It didn’t seem to bother him that she was not the best companion, so she tried not to overthink it. Kagome doubted he had anything under the surface, no hidden layers of buried trauma, and she chastised herself, wondering why she needed a lover with complexities in the first place. Hojo was nice, and that’s the entire reason she was here in the first place.

“I’m so glad your illness cleared up, Higurashi.” He walked with his hands in his pockets, looking totally harmless. Not like others she knew, who walked with their shoulders squared, arms crossed over a broad chest, a nonverbal signal to fuck off.

“Thanks,” she murmured, not entirely happy herself.

“I’ve wanted to take you out for so long.” He admitted, a boyish blush rising on his cheeks. “I knew if I waited, you would get better. Did the herbs help?” He asked eagerly.

The sidewalks were littered with people, and Kagome had trouble concentrating. So many bodies pushing past. So much potential for danger. Not like back home, with its wide-open spaces, villagers keeping a distance. The only one who breathed down her back was Inuyasha, and that she didn’t mind. He was safety, protection. Sometimes he would walk past her, bumping her shoulder along the way, other times he would hover, his large frame engulfing hers as he wrapped his arms around her midsection. There were never people around then.

Not like now.

“The herbs?” She repeated dully, gazed locked on steps of the shrine ahead. How many times had she climbed them after school, two at a time, looking for a flash of red around the estate? “Yes, they helped.” Kagome tried to swallow the lump in her throat.

“I knew they would!” Ever the optimist. Hojo smiled with the ease of someone who had never had to worry much.

He walked her to the steps, offering to take her up all the way but she declined. Hojo kissed her chastely on cheeks, grinning as he pulled away. Nothing like the hungry and demanding kisses of a demon. There was no time then; They would sneak away from the group for a moment of privacy, one ear trained for danger, the other focused on her sighs. They could never be anything but quick; demons attacked from high and low, and they often only had time to steal a kiss before they were interrupted. Would he have been gentler, if they had time? Whispered the words her heart ached to hear if they could love each other right?

“I’ll see you next weekend… Kagome.” His brown eyes were so bright as he tasted her first name on his lips. She nodded, biting down on her tongue and turned to ascend the stairs. ~.~

Mama had been bursting with questions, in what quickly turned into a weekly dating debrief. She wanted to know how Hojo was, where they went, what he said. It wasn’t that she was nosy- Mama had never overstepped in her business before, even when she ought to- she was simply thrilled to see her daughter home and acting like a typical woman her age. She should be out dating, she claimed, not mooning over someone unreachable. So many fish in the sea, and she was such a pretty girl! Her mother seemed to have an endless supply of cliches, but Kagome suffered through them. If she could make it through this bit, then she could go upstairs.

The first thing she would do would be to turn on the bath. Steam would rise as the water filled the tub, too hot for comfort. She needed it that way; it kept her grounded in the present. She did not often have the luxury of daily washing, let alone a bath, and hot water was only found at an onsen. Yes, if she kept the water hot, it would remind her that she was in the present, and that is where she would stay.

Once clean, hair brushed body lotioned, she tugged on her pajamas and headed towards the window. Leave it open, and he might come in. She always left it unlocked for him, even in the blisteringly cold winter, just in case. Kagome tugged off the covers and climbed in, trying her best not to look against the wall. He would be sitting there, sword against his chest like there was anything to defeat.

It was a shame he couldn't slay the demons in her dreams.

Moulting Season

When Ayame married into the Uchiha clan she had expected to deal with a difficult husband that would want her to act like someone she was not and pressure her to do things she didn’t want or wasn’t ready for.

She had expected cold,aloof attitudes like the people she saw in the meetings or vicious killers like what their opponents and enemies alike would describe after a battle.

She had not expected to wake up in the mornings covered in black feathers.

She knew Madara and her had to share a bed for convenience,but if this continued she might just have to get her own futon - the thought of being able to stretch out and sleep without being woken up by wings in the night was very tempting.

Meanwhile Madara was not happy,no Uchiha like him were happy this time of the year.Along with not being able to tuck their wings away they left feathers everywhere,were constantly tired and hungry and it got really itchy.

While he would never admit it,his vanity was taking a blow to his new wife seeing him like this.

They got along amicably enough but with how ill-tempered this time of year made him he was almost certain that their relationship would take a few steps back.Why Izuna had escaped this and not him was all the proof he needed that if there were gods,they were not kind or forgiving.

Speaking of Izuna,Ayame decided that enough was enough and it was time to ask for some unconventional marriage advice.

She left her husband to groan and wriggle on the bed and seeked out her brother-in-law.As expected he could be found training along with the Uchiha that were not inflicted with this ‘condition’ as others delicately called it - curse or blessing from the gods were highly subjective.

Anyway she pulled him aside and started her inquiries.

~~~

Ever since the bloodline ability had manifested during the beginning of puberty Madara had to deal with this punishment for weeks each year,he had not even had the fortune of missing training as his father had insisted that working through the discomfort would be better in the long run.

He had fainted a fair few times due to lack of energy before some of his relatives demanded that he get the rest he needed,Tajima had compromised that he would only do half the training during this time.

Now that his father was gone and he was the head of the Uchiha no-one could order him to do anything like that anymore,though he still did it sometimes just to take his mind off the hellish burning.

Once Ayame had left their shared bedroom he had allowed himself to fully transform - the woman was still learning to adjust and he didn’t want her to have nightmares because she saw her husband with a bird head and body completely covered in feathers.Even if it meant their whole body was on fire and Uchiha had to at least sometimes fully transform during the molting or they would never lose all their feathers and develop some nasty skin conditions.

This year was especially hard because he had to keep appearances up for his wife in order for her not to feel uncomfortable or disgusted.

Speaking of which he was almost too distracted to notice her coming back or forced himself to shift back into what Uchiha had nicknamed the ‘tengu state’.

There was a knock at the door.

“It’s Ayame,is it okay for me to come in?”

As if it wasn’t also her room and it was her husband she was asking,he thought with unreasonable irritation.In this state she just had to blink wrong for him to get annoyed at her,though that could be said for any living or non-living existence that happened to exist.

He let out a grunt and willed himself to sit upright instead of the undignified worm impression he had just been doing.

She let herself in and he noticed she was carrying a basket.Madara couldn’t help but eye it for a few seconds before looking back at her.

As per usual she had a neutral if somewhat awkward expression - he had learned not to take it personally,she had informed him it was because she didn’t really know what to do with her face most of the time and didn’t want to constantly smile like a loon.

“I don’t know what else to say,but I know that this is a really awkward time for you and I know that you’ve been holding yourself back because you didn’t want to make me uncomfortable and knew that I was still adjusting,” she started, taking a pause as she had been teaching herself to curb her rambling habit.

“When I was told I was going to marry Madara Uchiha I thought that I would be living with a man that wouldn’t consider my feelings or would just ignore me,so your thoughtfulness feels very,uh,it means a lot to me.And now I’m getting sentimental and rambling again.Stop talking.Stop.Ughh.” she groaned as she started shuffling her feet and rubbing her face in embarrassment of her tendency to speak too much.In honesty Madara found it kind of endearing, there weren’t many people in his circle of people that felt they could allow themselves to talk too much,especially around him.Izuna was a special case but still suffered from their father’s discipline.

Apparently having gathered herself Ayame continued. “I just wanted to tell you that you could ask me for help if you need it and that if you want to ‘change’ I would feel bad if you suffered more because of me.Before I ramble again,I brought some cucumbers and boiled eggs because Izuna said they might help and if you need some help bathing I could do it and- “ she was stopped when Madara raised his wing as if it was still his hand.He lowered it and was silent for a few moments before responding with a slightly raspy voice

“First of all,tell Izuna he is an ass.Second of all...thank you.” he declared,the last part maybe a bit softer than he intended.

His brother had not been wrong but Madara knew he was sniggering on the inside when he had informed Ayame of these things,especially about the bathing part and how it was hard without any hands.

As the two awkward newlyweds tried to work out where to go from here they both thought that maybe,just maybe,this marriage could go well after all.

[yukixsohma-a]

Do you have any ramblings about the relationship between Yuki and Ayame? I love their dynamic so much! That one panel in the manga where Ayame says he missed a chance to be there for his brother again killed me okay. In any case, I love everything you're doing here and I wish you a lovely day.

Yeah! I’ve actually talked about these two a bit in the past here & here! Yuki and Ayame’s dynamic is not only one I really liked as a reader, but I relate a lot as an older sibling who has an arguably estranged relationship to my younger brother. 

It was refreshing to see siblings who didn’t get along fantastically, but also, weren’t sworn enemies, either. But enough about myself, I think their own respective journeys of self growth and how they in turn, help the two to become closer to one another is so, so sweet. My favorite moment between the two in particular is when Ayame crashes Yuki’s parent-teacher conference. Aya is just trying his best and it takes Yuki a little while to see that from an objective point of view, which makes sense, but it makes for a very interesting dynamic between the overbearing and guilty older brother and the reluctant and frustratedly estranged little brother. 

In one of my linked posts I actually mention that what I found the most interesting about their ‘rift’ is that it wasn’t so much that Yuki blamed and resented Ayame for anything (unlike Hatori), but there was just so much disconnect by the time Aya bombarded himself into Yuki’s life that it was a lot for the rat to adjust to. They are just such opposite people on a spectrum of behavior and demeanor. 

Sibling relationships whether it be blood or surrogate, are some of my favorite dynamics to see in fiction (and seldom, in real life), especially when they are done right. Anyway, it really warms my heart that by the end of the series, Yuki and Ayame have a more civil relationship as brothers where they can be themselves around one another without a gritting rift. 

Aside from those two linked posts, I don’t have much else to say on them (as of right now, who knows what may come to my scattered thought process in the future and with this reboot!). But thank you so much for this ask! I know I’ve been an absentee of a role-player on here these days but I still appreciate the kind thoughts and inquiries!

( @thewolfisawake​ ) asked:  "I wish I could come up with more words but 'wow' keeps falling out every time I look at you." (Aspis to Aya at the ball)

The Halloween Ball

Cheeks flare vibrant red, nearly matching the shade of her elegant gown as ginger irises shine under the soft light in the hallway. A small hand rose, reaching out towards the other and gently grasping his gloved hand within hers and pulling him in closer. He practically took the words right out of her mouth, painted lips tugging into a warm grin as she stared up at him. “Th-thank you... but how am I supposed to react when everyone in there is going to have trouble keeping their eyes off you?” She surely wouldn���t be able to, that much she did know.
