NSFW Under the Cut

=============================================================

It’s common knowledge that you and Bakugou are dating. So everyone thought that if Bakugou was in a relationship, you’d be the only person he was sweet to, implying that he’d likely let you win when you sparred. This was half true.

Bakugou was really sweet to you in private, but he did not hold back when you trained. He wanted you both to reach your full potential and it wouldn’t happen if he held back.

You dodged every attack Bakugou sent your way, using your quirk to create small shields and walls to protect yourself from his explosions. The ground shook beneath you and the wall behind you shattered. You ducked and ran, keeping close to the ground as he tracked your movements.

You turned suddenly, ducking behind him and running up to grab him, hoping to trap him under a platform made by your quirk. He turned in an instant, his red eyes locking onto you. He quickly hit you hard in the face, setting off an explosion at the same time and blasting you hard to the ground.

When the smoke cleared, his eyes widened. You had quick reactions, so you should have been able to put up a shield to protect yourself, and even if you hadn’t you could get up from all his attacks.

But you lay still on the ground, unmoving. His eyes widened and he crouched down, grabbing you and picking you up. His heart sped up and his fingers tightened around your shoulders.

“Babe?” you didn’t answer. “BABE?!” you turned towards him, slowly opening your eyes and looking up at him, fear swirling in your e/c orbs. Then, a malicious grin grew on your face and his eyebrows cocked up in confusion.

You quickly made a long pole behind your back quickly swinging it around and slamming it against his back. His back gave in his surprise and he fell down on top on you. You grabbed his wrist and lifted him up over him and kicking him over you, he landed hard on his back, his legs out of bounds. You choked out a cocky laugh, ignoring the pain in your body. 

“I win.”

“You cheated.” he grumbled back, reaching up and tangling his fingers in yours. You squeezed his hand, forcing yourself to sit up as he stood, helping you to your feet.

The two of you were laughing as you leaned against him, pressing a soft kiss against his skin.

“There were no rules about pretending to be hurt. Besides, you really did hurt me, meanie~” you stuck your tongue out, teasing him. He just laughed, putting you in a gentle headlock and practically dragging you to the sidelines.

“Whaddaya expect?” he chuckled. “That’s how sparring is going to end everytime with me. We’re both gonna end up with a couple bruises.” He let go of you and you leaned against the wall, rolling your eyes.

“A couple? Serisouly? You bitch slapped me with the extra force of a fucking explosion. That causes more than ‘a couple bruises.’ That could’ve killed me.” you meant it in a teasing way, but the way Katsuki tensed up in guilt made you feel bad. 

“I- It couldn’t’ve killed you, r-right?” he glanced at you with nervous eyes. “Right?”

“Well it didn’t, so it’s okay. I’m sorry.”

“Why the hell are you apologizing? You’re right? I could’ve killed you!” he shouted, your chest constricted, Bakugou never wanted to hurt you, ever, he actively went out of his way to protect you, even if it was annoying at times. 

“Katsuki, calm down. It’s okay.” you walked towards him, resting your hand on his shoulder. He tried to shrug it off but you only tightened your grip. “I was only teasing, I would’ve been fine no matter what! It’s going to be alright.” His shoulders untensed uner your fingers, and he pulled you into a hug.

“Yeah, I know, dumbass. I was teasing too.” you chuckled. 

“We’re finished with training, so technically we can head back to the dorms now. Whaddaya think, scary movies I hate? Comedy movies you hate? Reenacting your fav romantic manga? Maybe something more... spicy?” you suggested, your tone starting out sweet and innocent and ending anything but. You felt heat radiating off his body as his fingers gripped you a little tighter.

“All of those sound good, but I’m particularly attracted to that last option.” his voice was a low growl in your ear, and you felt heat pool in your crotch. “Let’s have the old lady fix us ‘fore we head back, kay?”

“It’s a date~” you purred, giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking over to Recovery Girl.

You were on each other the second you entered Katsuki’s dorm, he was on top of you on the bed, making out with you as if his life depended on it. His hands trailed up your body, hastily removing your clothes.

“Ow!” you exclaimed when he brushed against a large bruise on your stomach. Both of you frowned as he sat up, still very horny.

“How the fuck am I supposed to fuck you senseless if you’re hurt.” 

“You’re hurt too.” you scoffed, sitting up and kissing him. “I can fuck myself senseless anyways.”

“What so you’re kicking me out?” he pouted, disapointed. “When I’m so turned on?”

“No no, I want to try something new. Let’s touch ourselves and watch each other. Like double-youeryism or something. What do you think?” you winked at him and stuck out your tongue. his face reddened, but he smirked.

“That actually doesn’t sound half-bad, Teddy Bear~ you’re going to wish my dick was deep inside you instead of just your fingers~” you leaned forward, tugging his lip between your teeth.

“Who said I was using my fingers?” you purred. He growled against your lips, placing his hand on your hip. 

“Just so long as you know my dick’s better than anything you’ll ever touch.”

You reach over to your dresser and dig through the drawers and pull out a small box. You opened it to reveal several sex toys. You pulled out a couple. One was a long purple remote-controlled dildo and the other was a string of small cylinder-shaped vibrators in a circle. Also remote-controlled. You handed him the circle of vibes and the remote to the dildo, while you kept the dildo and the remote to his toy.

“I’ll control your toy and you’ll control mine, got it? That way we can help each other cum.” he nodded, putting on his toy as you prepped yourself for yours. His eyes were trained on you as you pressed your finger-pads against that special spot inside you. 

“Ah~ I bet you wish you were fingering me instead, huh? Wish you could feel how exited I am?” Katsuki bit his lip and nodded.

“I bet you wish you could be sucking my cock, wish you were choking on it, huh?” His hand teased the tip of his cock as you touched yourself. You grabbed the remote to Bakugou’s toy and turned it on to it’s lowest setting. He bit back a moan.

“Fuck, not fair, baby~ I can’t tease you like that~” he reached forward to touch you but you smacked his hand away. 

“Hands on the merchandise~” you teased, licking your lips and eyeing him. “Trust me I wish I could touch your beautiful body but I’m obeying the rules of our cute little masterbation cult~” he chuckled, disapointed. 

“Damn, too bad~” you pressed the tip of the dildo against your sex, eyes teasingly asking him to turn it on. He shook his head.

“If you want it, you’re not getting it. It’s your punishment for not letting me touch you.”

“Damn, I guess I’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way.” you chuckled, sliding down on top of it with a pleasured sigh. You let out a gasp when it suddenly started vibrating inside you.

“Ah~ I thought you weren’t going to- fuck~ turn it on~” you panted slightly, cheeks red. Bakugou just smirked at you, jerking himself off to the sight of you riding the dildo. You turned up the power of his toy and he threw his head back with a moan.

“Fuck~ Teddy Bear, damn I wish I was fucking you right now~” you thrusted the toy faster inside you, moaning.

“I- I wish that too~” you lay on your back, fucking the toy up into yourself as Katsuki turns up the power, you can feel yourself tighten around the toy as you moan out.

“Ah~ Katsuki I think- I think I’m gonna- fuuuuuck~” you came hard, Katsuki moaned out.

“Fuck that was so hot, cumming from that toy instead of my cock, such a bad little Teddy Bear, so naughty, (fuck) I can’t wait to cum all over that gorgeous body of yours~” he dirty talked “You liked it, didn’t you? cumming from something other than my cock?”

“Y- yes~” you murmured, looking up at him and turning the power up all the way, Katsuki let out a choked out moan twitching and cumming hard over his hand.

“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fucking fuck fuck fuck!” he moaned. “Teddy Bear~” you tossed your head back onto the pillows looking up at the ceiling. Your view was soon blocked by the smirking blonde.

“That was fun, more fun than I thought it would be, we should totally do that again~” you nodded, pulling him closer and kissing him deeply. 

“I love you, Katsu~”

“I love you too... dumbass~”

[shinsouskitten]

Heyo! This is my first time requesting so I hope this isn't a bad request. So lately I've been watching these TikTok compilations of people getting naked infront of their bf/gf on YT and I just had this AMAZING idea. How would Shoto, Shinso, Kaminari, Bakugo, and Hawks react to their s/o doing that? (I also heard you're a Yagami Yato fan!!! Yay!)

Honestly I’ve been dying to do some tiktok pranks, but I didn’t know if anyone would actually enjoy them, so your request certainly isn’t a bad one. I kinda did a mix of the towel dropping trend and straight up stripping cause I wanted to do a bit of both so I hope that’s okay

And yeah, I’m a huge Yagami fan. I really want to get her patreon but I’m a broke bitch 😣 

I’m so happy I was able to finish this in time to post it today

Anyway… Time to get naked! 

All characters are aged up (except Hawks)

Warnings: suggestive themes, implied nudity (does it count as implied or is it just straight up nakedness?), Bakugou

❄️🔥 Shōto Todoroki: 

The two of you sat on the sofa, your phones held in your hands as you navigated through app after app to find something to do. You saw a tiktok pop up on your page, of someone recording their partner’s reaction to the stripping, and Shōto’s current aimless scrolling made it the perfect situation. 

You took your phone, resting it against a glass on the coffee table in front of you as nonchalantly as possible. You set the timer to record, turning off the volume so Shōto wouldn’t hear it, before beginning to take your shirt off. 

When he didn’t turn you sighed, standing up to take off your pants to hopefully gauge a better reaction. This time he turned his head slightly, his eyes taking a quick glance over your body before returning to look at your face. 

“Oh hi y/n.” He said, turning back to his phone.

“Shōto.” You whined, ending the recording on your phone. “You’re meant to react more.”

He turned to look at you again, a small smile on his face. “Sorry, baby.”

You sighed, placing your phone face down on the coffee table before flopping down on the sofa, your head falling in his lap as you stared up at him. He leant forward to put his phone next to yours, before twirling a hand in your hair softly. 

“I’ve seen you naked before.” He said simply.

You rolled your eyes. He could say those kinds of things with such a monotone expression, but you still found yourself flushing each time he did so. 

“Yeah but it was for tiktok.” You frowned.

Shōto smiled softly. “We can try again if you want.”

“Is this your way of saying you want me to strip for you?” You asked with a laugh.

“Perhaps.” He replied, and you felt yourself smiling as he stared down at you.

He might be a bit clueless, but he’s still cute.

💜 Hitoshi Shinsou:

Just one more game. That’s what he’d said two hours ago. You’d lost track of the amount of rounds he’d been playing, but by now your eyes were tired of the blue light illuminating your bedroom. You knew how difficult it was to convince Shinsou to go to sleep, but it was practically impossible when Kaminari messaged him asking to play some games online with him. 

You would both be tired and grumpy in the morning, so you decided to try and convince Shinsou another way. 

As he stared at the screen, you grabbed your phone from beside your bed, placing it in front of you as you called out to Shinsou. He turned for a moment, but his attention was quickly drawn back to the tv as Kaminari’s voice flooded the speakers.

“C’mon man I wanna win for once.”

Rolling your eyes, you decided to elevate your persuasion. You waited until the round he had been playing ended, pressing record as the next one began to load. Calling for him again, he turned, and you began to slowly peel your shirt (well, it was technically his shirt) up your body. When it passed your head you tossed it to the side.

Shinsou smiled, tongue darting out to wet his lips as his eyes trailed up and down your torso, now naked before his eyes. 

“Hey Kami.” He said, eyes never leaving yours. “You’re gonna have to play the next game on your own.”

“Is it y/n again? I wanted to wi-”

You chuckled as he ended the call, turning off his console before strolling to join you on your bed. You picked up your phone before he got to you, ending the recording and placing it back on your bedside table.

“Was that for Tiktok?” He asked.

You nodded silently.

“Of course it was.” He chuckled.

You pouted. “I was tired of you playing.”

“Well unfortunately I’ve got some more to play.” 

You frowned, thinking he was going to return to his games again, until Shinsou leant closer, cupping your face with one hand while the other began to trail down your chest. 

I guess there’s more than one way to get him to sleep.

⚡ Denki Kaminari:

To be honest, Denki’s probably done the exact same prank on you (Denki is a tiktoker change my mind).

You were determined to get him back. And Lady Luck had decided to shine on you today, because you had the perfect opportunity. He was playing a game, headphones blocking his ears from you as he spoke with the rest of the Bakusquad. 

You tapped his shoulder to tell him you were going to take a quick shower. He turned to look at you for a moment, opening his mouth as if to speak, before his attention was pulled back to the game at Bakugou’s insistent yells of ‘pay attention you damn extra’. 

After your shower, you wrapped your towel around your body loosely, one hand gripping the fabric while the other grabbed your phone to begin recording. You slipped back into the room, mildly annoyed when Denki didn’t even turn to greet you. You let your towel fall away, before tossing it across to land on Denki’s head. 

He pulled the towel from his head and threw it to the ground, throwing you a quick frown before he turned back to the tv. Mere seconds after he faced the screen he turned to look at you again, eyes widening as he took in your naked figure with a bright smile.

You heard a yell from his headset, presuming it was Bakugou when the screen flashed game over in bright red letters. 

“I gotta go.” Denki said into the mic.

You laughed, stopping the recording as he stood up to walk over to you.

“I was wondering when you’d get me back.” He smiled, his hands resting on your hips as he pressed a kiss to your head. “But you know, it’d be a shame to waste this opportunity.”

“Do you think about anything other than sex?” You chuckled.

“Of course.” He replied. “I think about you. But how can you blame me with this beautiful sight.”

You smiled, tossing your phone to the side as you wrapped your arms around Denki’s shoulders.

“You’re not saying it’s a bad idea.” He said, raising an eyebrow at your silence. “That clearly means you think it’s a great one.”

You rolled your eyes, but leant forward to kiss him. 

“It’s an okay idea.” You murmured against his lips.

You yelped as he pinched your hip, opening your mouth to scold him, but your words failed you as his hands began to trail to where you wanted them most.

“Just okay?” He asked.

You nodded, head falling against his neck as he continued to trail his fingers across your skin.

A great ending to a great prank.

💥 Katsuki Bakugou:

You sighed in your bed, blankets wrapped around you as you waited for your boyfriend to come home. He’d been swarmed with work recently, so you hadn’t seen as much of him as you would’ve liked. 

When you heard the click of your door, you jumped up, racing through your apartment to see Bakugou taking off his shoes with a sour expression.

“Hey.” You smiled, walking over to drape your arms around his shoulders. 

He grunted in response, brushing your arms off as he plopped down on the sofa. He lay his head back, eyes falling shut as he muttered something about stupid villains thinking they own the place.

As you watched him the idea came into your mind. You felt in your pockets for your phone, relieved to find it there. Careful not to disturb your boyfriend, you placed it so only Bakugou would be seen by the camera. As you pressed record, you cleared your throat, annoyed when he didn’t even react.

With a sigh you pulled your shirt over your head, throwing it across the room where it landed in Bakugou’s lap. His eyes shot open, noticing the clothing in front of him, before his head snapped to look at you.

“Oi dumbass what are you doing?!” He shouted, but you could see the blush spreading across his face. 

“Something wrong?” You asked innocently.

Bakugou let out a low growl, before his gaze fell to the phone propped up next to you. 

“Is this for tiktok?!” He screamed, leaping towards you to rip the phone away before you could stop him.

You pouted as he glared down at the screen, ending the recording and tossing your phone to the other end of the room.

“If you’ve broke that-” You began, but you were interrupted by a finger on your lips.

“You shouldn’t be worried about the phone.” Bakugou said, red eyes boring into yours. 

Your mouth fell open in a silent ‘o’ as his hands slipped around your waist, letting out a scream as he threw you over his shoulder.

Suffice to say your phone wasn’t the only thing he broke that night.

🍗 Keigo Takami (Hawks):

There was something droning on in the background, some boring show you couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to. Instead, your attention was fixed on your boyfriend, who was laying back on your sofa, wings splayed out behind him as one arm sat curled around your waist. 

Coming up with an idea, you excused yourself from his grip, and his head turned to look at you as you propped your phone up to face him. 

He raised an eyebrow, his golden eyes following your every movement as you began to peel off each layer of your clothes. By the time you were in your underwear, Keigo had grown impatient, and he stood up, appearing next to you within seconds.

“Well hello there.” He smirked.

You rolled your eyes with a laugh, holding up a finger to press pause on the scene as you retrieved your phone, checking that you hadn't been visible on the screen. When you were satisfied, you placed it down again, this time ensuring it wasn’t recording, before turning back to Keigo.

“You know if you were into recording stuff you could’ve just said so.” He said, his eyes still not leaving your body.

You laughed again, but leant forward to press a kiss to his lips, your hands tangling in his hair as he returned the affection. His hands trailed across your body, at one point stopping to pinch your hip. Keigo used your shock as an excuse to slip his tongue into your mouth, and his grip tightened on your waist.

You groaned as he pulled away, but your breath caught in your throat as you felt his hand slip in between your thighs. 

Maybe you should prank him more often.

Yato fam eating contest who would win? Rank Umibozu, Hosen, Kagura, Kamui, Abuto, Mutsu and Kouka

1. Kamui. Canonically confirmed to be the biggest pig. He’s still a growing young man. Needs all the nutrients he can get to grow big and strong. Being 5′7 is not, not his final form. 

2. Kouka. Very close second to Kamui. Heavyweight champion who gave birth to two ravenous animals. The only reason why they lived in that hovel on Rakuyou is because even The Great Umibouzu’s wallet could not support her pregnancy cravings without some sacrifices here and there. 

3. Housen. Old man is in retirement paradise. He has nothing to lose at this point. Also, years of overindulging on food and booze gives him a fighting edge like no other. 

4. Kagura. She is baby and thus she is still inexperienced. But don’t underestimate her the next time around. She’ll snatch first place away from her stupid brother for sure. When you live with an impoverished deadbeat named Gin-chan, the dinner table is a battlefield every night. Gaining XP will be a piece of cake for her. 

5. Umibouzu. In his prime, he'd be in first place. But he’s getting old. It has nothing to with his hair loss. Increased loss of appetite is a serious symptom of getting old. So there’s no linkage to balding, capeesh? 

6. Abuto. It’s not that he’s lacking. It’s just that everyone else is a monster with a black hole for a stomach. 

7. Mutsu. She might have overtaken even Umibouzu if it weren’t for her leaving in the middle of the contest to go beat Sakamoto’s loud, screeching ass at the sidelines.

chapter 1

Your eyes lingered on the golden necklace that hung so beautifully around your neck. Even though it was a full body mirror you didn’t look anywhere else but to the tiny wings. It stood out, but that was probably because your cleaning day had took a toll on you. With a hand over the necklace, you closed your eyes and took a deep breath, thinking about the first time you had seen it hanging around his neck. For so long you had forced yourself to forget about him, but that’d be impossible. Instead you needed to accept the fact that he was in your life, and it was wonderful, but that it was now over. 

You lifted the wings closer to your eyes so that you could study the small details. It almost seemed like it was yesterday that you were waiting for him to knock on your window to take you for a quick fly around the city... he used to do that when he was on shorter missions, and he’d surprise you as soon as he got home for the day. On longer missions he was always worn out when he came home, that’s why he used the door instead of the window- so that he could take the elevator up instead of flying. Whenever you’d get home together though, when he wasn’t too tired, he’d race you up the stairs. Him being a hero and all, he always ended up winning since he had way better stamina than you. If he got home first and you got home a bit later, maybe because you were going grocery shopping, he’d always meet you by the entrance and help you carry anything you had with you.  It was as if you could still hear him greet you at the entrance of the apartment complex...

“Y/N!”, he said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. He engulfed you in a tight hug, his wings shielding you from the rest of the world - making you feel safe. The smell of his newly washed clothes, probably just taken from his closet, and his cologne was such a wonderful mix. Your hands wrapped themselves securely around his middle and Keigo ducked his head down to your shoulder, slightly bending his knees to do so. His wet hair slightly tickled the side of your neck, signaling that he had just taken a shower. “Nothing I can carry for you today?”, he muttered. “Nope, I come empty-handed.”, you joked and let out a quiet giggle. He grabbed the back of your thighs, whispering out a quick “jump” in your ear. His slighty raspy voice never failed to send a shiver down your spine. When you did as he said, holding your hands on his shoulders, he hoisted you up and let you wrap your legs around his waist. “Then I’ll carry you instead.”, he grinned and pecked your lips, “Now, tell me about your day, sweetheart.” He’d always ask about your day, how you were feeling, because he couldn’t talk about those things himself as his job wouldn’t allow him - in case you were to hear something you shouldn’t have. Keigo carried you through the apartment entrance, humming in agreement at your statements and chuckling at your jokes. 

You sighed and let go of the tiny golden wings, letting it hang on your chest once again. After tucking it into your shirt, as to not see it all the time, you walked out to the kitchen to get yourself a drink. You turned on your coffee machine and watched as the coffee poured into the cup. Keigo would always insist on making coffee himself, it’s only after he left that you bought a machine as you were too lazy to make it yourself. You had also destroyed the coffee presser that he used by accidentally dropping it on the ground. The machine let out a beep, bringing you out of your thoughts and you grabbed your now coffee-filled mug.

When you leaned against the kitchen counter you got a notification from your phone. Your storage was full, which meant you had to delete some stuff. You hadn’t actually gone through your camera roll since that day, since it contained too many pictures of him that a part of you didn’t want to let go of.  You ended up deleting a few apps, deciding that the camera roll would be a bit too much for today. If he were here he’d probably laugh and tease you about it. He did that a lot... no, he used to do that a lot. It was always in a loving manner, though, and he’d usually help you with the task you couldn’t handle after teasing you. He was never a rude person to you, maybe he was a bit annoying and he could definitely seem arrogant but that was a facade. He was kind and caring, he really was. Of course he proved it with his actions more than his words sometimes, but that didn’t matter. He always made sure you knew that he loved you in his own special way.

You had a rough day to say the least. Your alarm wouldn’t work, you got late to work, a heavy work load was put on you by your incompetent colleauge, you missed the train home so you had to take a later one, and Keigo wasn’t home when you finally got to the apartment. All you wanted to do was snuggle up close on his chest, listen to his heartbeat, as you could slowly drift off into sleep. Instead all you could do was crawl up on your bed and lay there. The sheets felt so much colder without him to hold you.  Without dinner, without changing, and taking off your make up, you fell asleep - too tired to do anything at all. When Keigo got home he flew right to the window where the tiny living room was, expecting you to sit by the dinner table and eat. It was only 8 pm afterall and you usually ate pretty late. To his surprise you weren’t there, nevertheless he still opened the window and stepped inside. Maybe you were eating in the kitchen tonight, so after taking off his shoes he made his way there. When you weren’t in the kitchen either he started to get a bit worried, but he didn’t let it get to his head - you were probably in the bathroom or maybe changing in the bedroom. His first bet was the bathroom, you loved to take a long warm shower after work so it would make sense if you were in there, so he made his way there. “Y/N? Sweetheart are you in there?”, he asked softly. He didn’t hear the water running from the shower but maybe you were doing your skincare. When he didn’t hear a response he carefully checked if the door was locked, he didn’t want to disturb you if your were actually in there... but you weren’t. The door opened and he looked inside a dark empty bathroom, it was untouched from the last time he was in here which was earlier this morning. If he remembered correctly you should’ve come home an hour ago, and the fact that you were a nightowl made him a bit skeptical over if you really were in the bedroom. But there was no other place to check, so that’s where he went. When he saw your small figure laying in the middle of the big bed he felt warmth spread through his chest. You looked so small and cuddly as you snored away quietly. The warmth he felt quickly changed to a feeling of worry as he saw that you were still in jeans. No matter how tired you were, you would never even think about sleeping in jeans. He walked over to the bed and gently shook you awake. “Wake up, honey.”, he said softly. You groggily opened your eyes and looked up at him, a tired smile gracing your lips. You motioned for him to lay down but he only shook his head. “Let’s get you cleaned up, okay? You haven’t even taken off your make up, Y/N...”, he sighed. “I was tired.”, you said shortly, clearly not wanting to talk about it. “Have you eaten?”, he asked and when you shook your head no he breathed in sharply, “C’mon, sweetie.” He lifted you up and helped you out of bed before carefully getting you to your feet.  “You slept with socks on?”, he asked with a teasing smile, “You must’ve been really tired then...” He didn’t wait for an answer, he simply brought you to the bathroom where he took out the make up wipes. As usual when he did this for you he excused himself for not being that good at it, even though he had done it hundreds of times already. Keigo gently wiped off the make up off of your face and you melted under his touch. When the products on your skin were gone he threw away the tissue and tugged at your clothes. You looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and bewildered eyes. Before you could say anything he put his finger to your lips. “I’m trying to make you take a shower, don’t get ahead of yourself.”, he chuckled and then muttered out, “Jeez, you’re so dirty-minded...”, before helping you take off your clothes. When you got in the shower you heard him leave the room and close the door behind him. You let out a content sigh as the hot water hit your skin, finally feeling at peace. Once you got out of the shower you walked to the kitchen, following the lovely sent. A meal was prepared for you on the table. “I’ll go take a shower, make sure you eat up. I ate at work so you don’t have to save anything for me.”, he kissed your forehead softly and then walked out. Keigo never cooked, he usually just ordered you food. The fact that he had made food for you, even if it was just a simple dish, warmed your heart and you happily sat down to eat. 

You cleaned up the dishes, putting whatever leftovers there were in the fridge. Back in your bedroom Keigo was putting on his grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt. In admiration, you leaned your shoulder against the doorframe and watched as he pulled the big shirt over his head. “Are you just gonna keep staring at me?”, he asked, still not turning around. You chuckled and walked over to his dresser to steal one of his hoodies. Usually he’d have something to say about this, but tonight he simply looked at you with a slight smile. “I need to get some paperwork done, so don’t wait up for me baby bird.”, he was about to walk out the door when your arms wrapped around him from behind. “Could you maybe stay with me until I fall asleep?”, you mumble. He turned around and looked at you, his very big hoodie hiding most of your body. With a small nod and a smile the two of you walked over to the bed.

You smile at the memory... he had ended up falling asleep before you, completely tired out from work. Somehow he had still taken care of you that night out of pure love for you. You felt your heart sink when you realized that you couldn’t ever feel that again Instead of worrying too much about it you picked up the necklace again. He used to fiddle with it a lot, when he was anxious or bored out of his mind. When he was bored he’d always be asking for your attention, almost making it a game of how fast he could get you to pay attention to him. When you wouldn’t he’d always find the first reason he could find to be jealous about. He knew you didn’t like it when he was acting jealous and even if you were scolding him you were still paying attention to him so it didn’t matter. 

“Baby.”, he said, trying to get your attention away from your phone. “Just a second...”, you said, typing out your text to your friend about plans you were making for the weekend. “But I want attention now...”, he pouted at you and you only hummed in response. He sighed and walked around to the other side of the bed, wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his head on your shoulder. Your friend had just sent a picture of the guy she was dating standing in front of the place you were planning on getting lunch together at. You chuckled at the awkward pose he was pulling, knowing full well that your friend had probably forced him to take the picture. Keigo reached forward and clicked on your phone’s off button. “Hey!”, you snapped your head back at him, only now realizing that he was actually beind you. “Pay attention to me, sweetheart.”, he whispered. “I was just trying to text my friend, Keigo.”, you sighed and got his hands off of you so that you could move away from him. “So who was that guy then? Last time I checked Ami doesn’t look like a six-foot-something, broad shouldered, dude.”, he huffed. “Babe, it’s her boyfriend.”, you sighed again and watched as his wings puffed up ever so slightly, “Are you jealous?” “No...”, he turned away from you. “Keigo...”, you whined, “C’mon, baby, just because I don’t pay attention to you every second doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” He hummed in response, giving you the same treatment that you gave him just a few seconds ago, and wouldn’t even look at you. “Keigo.”, you said his name again, “Keigo, please.” As soon as he heard you put down your phone on the bedside table he turned around, pinning you against the mattress. He laid his head on top of your chest, his entire bodyweight making it impossible for you to move. “Tricked you.”, he grinned, “Now, let’s cuddle please.”

Just thinking about it made you roll your eyes but you quickly got rid of your smile as you realized that your mind was drifting. You looked around the apartment and thought that it was probably time to get some rest. After all, you had been cleaning all day and you could take care of the rest tomorrow. The golden wings were still hanging around your neck as you fell asleep that night.

I think skate leading stars is so interesting as an anime. Like its premise and overall execution of that premise is really simple. It's a high school sports anime about figure skating but like with teams of five instead of duos or solo performances. I dont believe that skate leading is a real sport (I'm not a skater, I have no idea), but they do a good job of explaining how this new sport works and how it's different from regular figure skating.

But the character designs are all unique and the animation is really good. Animation wise the skating performances are flawlessly executed. Like they look realistic and if they used any cgi for those sequences you can hardly tell. And the story too is pretty good. You have compelling characters and each of them look unique enough (even the rivals) that it's hard to mix them up. It also doesn't give off that queer-baiting vibe and "we'll win with the power of friendahip" that you get a lot from this genre. The main character is a "genius" but he's not perfect and spends a lot of his time practicing and overcoming his social faults (his ego). This show is also efficient with its ensemble cast. Like they have obvious archetypes but it doesn't feel cliché. The animosity that exists between the rival schools isn't like real hatred its a drive to win - a lot like what you see in like Haikyuu.

The mc is voiced by the guy that voiced Ash Lynx in Banana Fish. And the guy that voices the second male lead also voiced Saitama in One Punch Man. And the guy that plays the main rival kid is also a big name, having done the voices for Levi Ackerman in attack on titan, mephisto pheles in blue exorcist, yato in noragami, and many more.

The show is made by J.C. Staff who has done some pretty big name stuff too, such as: a certain scientific (the whole series, like they did all of it), nobari no ao (idk if anyone actually remembers this one but it was formative for me as a baby weeb), nodame cantible, bakuman, love stage and that other awful "yaoi" show Loveless, food wars, prison school, the disastrous life of saiki k., the second season of one punch man, and the list goes on...

But there's things about it that clue you in to the fact that they probably had a very low budget and spent all of their money on the skating sequences and VA's. For one they don't have the usual opening and ending sequences that you would expect. It's a black screen with credits interspersed with a static shot or a moving shot to show off the different characters. During the skating performances they didn't make OG music. For the recent "competition" episode they used pachel bells canon (if I remember correctly) and they used this for all of the teams. And they're really conservative with the skating sequences they do show. You almost never get full performances. Just a little 5 second scene if that and then it cuts to either reactions or after the performance is done. And much of the training sequences are also done just so, so that they don't have to fully animate the body that's skating.

The show is made in such a conservative budget way but it doesn't feel lacking. What it lacks in OG music or full skating sequences (which i hope they will include more in the following episodes), it makes up in really good animation and characters and plot.

Tldr: if you like the sports anime genre you should check out skate leading stars.

Live tweeting episode 47

SPOILERS

Im ready to get my shit rocked if I’m honest,,,

Not ready to see One for All that preview has me nervous,,, anyway vibing to this opening it’s so so good!!!!!

Before we even start I’m so sick of seeing superhero content where people constantly blame heroes for what they had to do in the face of villains and I get it like UA fucked up and all those kids were put in danger but they could be put in danger anywhere,,, like heroes are being targeted just for being heroes and if UA didn’t exist to target they would just target whatever other school or training program or organization that would replace UA functionally, like ugh. Just have more heroes volunteer to help out UA, have heroes become more vigilant and try to take down the league, instead of blaming teachers.

I hate this interrogation already

Aizawa is smart hop off his dick

❤️❤️Oh here comes Nezu shut them down honey ❤️❤️

They are about to talk shit about Katsuki LET ME GET MY HANDS READY! READY TO FUCKINF KILL SOMEONE!

Battle Against What Was Forgotten

The time was nigh -- Kamui’s and Xander’s efforts to rouse up the hoshidans, nohrians and vallite under a single banner with the intent of defeating their nemesis finally reached its purpose: There was only Anankos, the Forgotten Dragon, standing between them and true peace. They would all do whatever it took to win. No matter what had to be sacrificed, or whose help they had to get.

Part 1 - Part 2

No legends could have prepared Kamui's army to what was happening right before their eyes: A thousand-eyed dragon the size of the moon had launched some sort of magic at the center of the world once known as Valla, which consumed everything it touched.

Buildings, trees, clouds and even stars. Nothing escaped the black hole which grew bigger and bigger with each passing second.

"We can't give up! Not now!" Were Kamui's words before the Forgotten Dragon set its sights on her -- pursuing her, it threw its dissolving magic left and right in an attempt to erase its closest family and worst enemy.

The battle seemed hopeless: although Kamui's Seal of Flames dealt considerable damage to the dragon's ancient scales, being able to get it close enough to them without destroying the entire structure they were on proved to be their hardest challenge. Not to mention, of course, the fallen vallite soldiers Anankos summoned the very moment it lost sight of its enemies.

They couldn't fall back and regroup.

They couldn't attack head on without fearing losing their footing and falling to oblivion.

They couldn't keep that up for much longer, either. Exhaustion was starting to wear them all off.

"We need to press on -- let's go hide inside that crumbling chapel, it seems far enough from the borders of this floating island-" Kamui huffed, using the Seal of Flames as a support to help her up, her entire body aching.

"Big Sister!!" Elise and Sakura both pointed in horror to something behind the dragon princess' back, but she turned one heartbeat too late -- Anankos' magic hit her head-on. Ryoma threw himself over his little sister and his wife-to-be, protecting them from the blow at the same time Xander pulled Kamui's hand to him, close to the one standing wall that protected them from the dragon's might.

Her Yato shone with the brightness of a thousand suns, covering both her and Xander in its light, negating Anankos' dissolving magic; though not being able to protect her from its physical damage.

Consciousness slowly slipped away from the dragon princess' grasp. "X-Xander- take everyone away from here-" she didn't hear her voice say, but her lips managed to think of others before herself even without enough strength to keep her eyes open.

Kamui could hear her name being called as though through a thick glass -- the sound became farther and farther as she felt her grip on Yato lessen, the last noise she heard before passing out was the loud clang of her blade hitting the destroyed stone floor.

Xander felt his heart beat cold blood to his entire body the moment he saw Kamui being hit by that blow -- it was as though he was seeing everything in slow motion.

The way the distorted purple ray managed to dissolve the remains of the half-standing wall Kamui had just been leaning in moments before; the way he saw his hand pulling hers before his own mind could process what was happening.

The way Kamui's body felt unbearably hot due to the Yato's protection for only half of a second, then increasingly cold in the next moment -- it all wrought his entire body in physical pain.

The way she weakly raised her hand to touch his cheek, asking him to lead them while she couldn't.

The way she thought of others even during such a critical time for herself -- she was losing consciousness in the middle of battle, for the Gods' sake! -- and how she exhaled calmly as though she was falling asleep in his arms once she finally passed out.

The way her limp arms let her sword fall to the ground, the clanging sound ringing through all of their ears, making their hearts fall: every wielder of a Divine Weapon could feel their power diminishing rapidly.

Without Yato -- alas, without Kamui -- there was no power that could unite them all to bringing out their weapons' full potential. There was no 'full potential' to be brought out in the first place.

They needed her.

She was crucial.

Xander quickly adjusted Kamui in his arms, "move!!" He vociferated, the rush of battle exploding all around them, despite the stillness that invaded their bodies with the loss of Kamui. "Camilla, take Kamui's Yato; let's move quickly to the chapel she just mentioned -- we shall be safe there while she's unconscious." He ordered quickly, placing his beloved over his horse, mounting it right after. "We've no time to mourn -- Kamui will wake up in time; we must survive until then!"

"... Right!" Elise sniffled, still lying in shock as she hugged Sakura in Ryoma's arms. "C'mon, Sakura, Ryoma, I'll take you two on my horse!"

Camilla rushedly took the Yato, running towards her wyvern. "Dearie, Marishka can carry me and your sweetheart much better than your horse. Come now, Prince Ryoma."

"Of course, Princess Camilla." Ryoma finally snapped out of the desperation that had hit them all, quickly helping his betrothed to get on her feet. "Take my sister with you, Elise. I'll monitor the skies with Lady Camilla."

"And you're coming with me," Leo pulled Takumi by the arm, shoving him towards his horse.

"I'll scout the area, but we still need someone to stay behind to lead the troops!" Hinoka jumped on her pegasus and took off, not waiting to hear Silas' volunteering to take on the role.

"Proceed!" Xander held Kamui with one arm, taking out his Siegfried with the other, pointing forward. "We will survive this!"

"...my. H-... c-... hea... e? ...my!" A childish and far, faraway voice called, scratching the back of Kamui's consciousness.

Though her head throbbed a bit, her body felt light. It was as though she could feel a newfound power coursing through her veins, despite having no idea where that power came from, or how she found it.

She felt the tips of her fingers tingling; overflowing with energy -- if she so much as clenched her fists, she would feel like she were controlling the sun and the stars, making them burst into flames.

"Flames...?" Her voice groggily said, not noticing how she shook her head ever so slowly, delirious.

"The Seal of Flames, Mommy." The childish voice whispered, so close to Kamui's ear she could feel its breath. "It's right here."

A small, so very small hand held Kamui's, its tiny fingers eagerly holding two of hers.

"I didn't know I could have all this power, honestly." The voice went on, too insecure about itself, but overflowing with pride from its ancestry. "But it's all because of you and Father, Mommy. Because you two are my parents, I can reach this potential."

Kamui felt a warm tear itching down her cheek, wanting more than anything to be able to open her eyes. "You're-" she choked her breath, squeezing the baby's hand on hers. "Siegbert?"

The voice was silent for a beat, but Kamui could almost see the little boy nodding, smiling proudly. "Mhm. I'm with you, Mommy. Please, don't give up now; I want to meet you so badly."

The princess breathed heavily, the chains of unconsciousness pinning her down with an almost inhuman strength.

But her longing to meet her child; to meet hers and Xander's child was so, so very much stronger. She broke through the stillness holding her body and reached out to her stomach with her free hand, using the last of her forces to sit straight, quickly opening her eyes to finally look at her child's. "Siegbert!!"

The stillness broke.

Cold wind swept Kamui's hair apart, slapping her face. She huffed for breath, her wide eyes looking at where the child had been just a second ago, his warmth still tingling her hand.

"Hah... hahh..." The princess blinked, finding that her hand was indeed being held -- by Xander's own. She trailed her gaze from his long fingers to his arm, shoulder, neck and finally to his eyes, which met hers with surprise and relief. "X-Xander... he's here with us."

The Crown Prince opened and closed his mouth, the perpetual frown over his brow growing deep, even after lessening just as Kamui had woken up. "You are pre-" he choked on the word, widening his eyes further. "Siegbert-" he breathed out, slowly reaching out to the hand Kamui never took from her stomach.

The moment his fingers brushed on hers, they both felt a surge of power so intense and sudden, they almost jumped out of their skins.

"He's here... He's here with us!" Kamui smiled widely, her eyes shining with tears.

She looked all around herself -- all of her family looked at her in differing levels of happiness and confusion. She reached out to her Yato, properly laid beside her, and clenched its hilt. "We're going to win this, everyone! I have the blood of another one of Yato's chosen inside of me!"

The wielders of Divine Weapons felt the breath leaving their bodies, most of them crumpling on the ground due to the intensity of power coursing through them the moment Kamui brandished her Yato. It was as though their weapons had gained a heart that beat in sync with their own.

Leo, Takumi and Ryoma could barely hear the calls of their concerned family members, their astonished gazes leaning on their weapons. The samurai took out his Raijinto, staring at how it crackled with power -- the lightning surrounding it jumped from the blade to his hand, entering his body and filling it with vitality.

The mage closed his eyes, placing one hand over his tome -- he could see himself wielding it with his mind eye; he could see the power of creation he had in his hands. Minuscule roots bound the book to his hand, infusing him with the wisdom of millennia.

The archer felt his bow crackle, the magical bowstring fizzing by his ear. He but tapped on it, and the resulting sound sent waves of energy around them, breaking any remaining glass windows the ruined chapel had. He could see the bluish arrow dig deep into his hand, binding the bow into it and tackling him with the strength to shoot a thousand arrows.

The King held his beloved's hand, Siegfried pulsating by his hip -- calling for its master. He looked deep into Kamui's eyes, feeling the power of Yato coursing through her body towards his, seeping even more into his own weapon. The dark blade exhaled energy, its purple glow merging with Yato's golden light -- the moment he took it off of its scabbard and pointed it upwards, the world went still.

A barrier  big enough to cover the entire chapel seethed from Siegfried, as though its overflowing energy physically dripped out of it. The blade dug deep into Xander's hand, binding itself to him as he squeezed Kamui's hand on his. Yato did the same to her, red and yellow veins popping out of her arms so as to accommodate the overpowered sword, ready to integrate it into her own body for as long as it took to accomplish its mission.

They got up, exchanging meaningful glances. "Never leave my side, my Little Princess." Xander's voice dug into Kamui, showering her with warmth.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Xander." She smiled back at him, squeezing her hand on his. Blind to the world around them, they didn’t notice how Leo got up from his crouching position, one hand under his chin in thought.

"You know what, I think I know how to defeat that overgrown lizard now." Leo said a ways behind them. "Prince Ryoma, Prince Takumi? If you may?"

Takumi was holding back a smirk. "This power should be freaking me out, but I think I'm too high strung to realize that my bow is PHYSICALLY BOUND TO MY ARM to care right now. You had a plan?"

"I'm all ears, Prince Leo." Ryoma nodded, approaching.

“Good. So, for starters, we should lure it back to where we were first…”

The wind howled, its sound the only remaining thing that felt somehow real for all the players in that deadly -- undoubtedly their last -- game. Even the breeze was being sucked into the dark void Anankos tore in the sky, which grew ever closer to the island they stood on.

The thunder of their army's cavalry broke the sound of the world being torn asunder -- under Silas' command, the soldiers roared towards the invisible vallite soldiers. "Don't break formation! Keep them on us!"

"Draw their attention!" Hinoka barked orders to her pegasus knights, covering Silas' left flank while Camilla commanded the wyvern brigade by the right flank.

"Let us be the last thing they see!" The nohrian princess lifted her overgrown axe in a battle roar.

Mages, archers and lance throwers kept to the rear, encircling the battle formation so as to make sure no vallite escaped their pincer attack.

Barriers exploded; arrows hit their targets; lances pierced through their enemies -- flashes of magic left and right rang into their ears. The soldiers' utter and raw will to survive made each and every of them fight as though possessed, raising dust, spilling blood and dripping in sweat.

From above the battlefield, atop a borrowed kinshi, Ryoma raised his divine blade, thunder crackling in the distance. "Kamui!" His voice travelled like the lightning itself towards the dust which kept on growing amidst the battlefield.

"Do it, Ryoma!" A dignified, confident yet desperate voice rose itself from the chaos into which it mingled, but the sound of it brought a smirk to the hoshidan prince's lips.

He pierced his gaze to the far-away thousand-eyed dragon, "you die, NOW!" He vociferated, thrusting his swords upwards to the vortex of clouds that followed his command.

A lightning bolt as large as the dragon's claws thundered from Raijinto to the clouds, ramifying into thousands more -- they followed their master's command, from the clouds to the void whence the Dragon made its home, far from their reach -- but not from Ryoma's thunders.

"Get here, you coward!" Takumi yelled from below, sharing Leo's horse as they pierced through the vallites towards the edge of the island.

"One more time, Ryoma!" Kamui dispelled the dust around herself with but a wave of her Yato -- nay, of her Seal of Flames -- as Xander steered his horse under them both.

They shone with a purple glow, the barrier Siegfried emanated highlighting them from the battlefield.

"You underestimate me, Sister!" Ryoma smirked with the fervor of battle, his lightning quickly making its way to the void which Anankos protected itself into. "Look this way, beast! We are not done yet!" He bellowed, once again raising his Raijinto above his head.

Then, there was silence.

A heartbeat of a moment inside a millisecond of silence before the explosion.

Friend and foe alike had to cover their eyes for the burst of light blinded any and all who could see, the following shockwave blowing away those who hadn't their feet solidly planted on the ground. The island itself shook as though a boat amidst a storm, the ear-piercing screech the Forgotten Dragon released making soldiers hold their heads lest they split in half.

"Overdoing it, much?" Leo felt cold sweat itching down his temple, betraying his excited smirk as he got his horse into position. Behind him, Takumi kicked his feet in excitement.

"That's my Brother! I bet he could single-handedly-"

"Let us focus, yes, Prince Takumi? Your turn approaches." Leo turned his horse to the abyss a thousand meters ahead of them, his frown deep but his mind blaring with all the possible outcomes of his insane strategy.

"Sheesh, no need to tell me twice." Takumi groaned, though he wore the same smirk as his sibling, carefully aiming his Fujin Yumi before pulling its magical string.

Wind revolved around them, lifting hair and mane alike as the blue arrow started to form itself -- bigger than Takumi had ever seen it. Merely the tip was large enough to cover both him, Leo and their mount.

He laughed nervously. "This power is freaking amazing; I can feel it literally inside my veins."

"Don't get carried away! Though I do understand what you mean -- I can now remember things I read only once in my life, as though the book is filling me with magical and intellectual potential."

"No time for idle chatter, you two!" Xander steered Bucephalus towards his younger brother's position, Siegfried's purple glow tapping into the Fujin Yumi's power and engulfing inside its protection. "We have its attention, now!"

Recovering from the stunness Ryoma's thunder brought into its body, Anankos once again screeched to the head-splitting level, words long forgotten being sung in the background as though the souls of the fallen were playing the Forgotten Dragon's tune.

Azura's pendant pulsated with power, her own blood feeling like fire inside her veins -- her voice echoed louder than the damned souls driven to sing for Anankos, her words delivering the true meaning behind the ancient song.

"¡ǝɯ ʇsuᴉɐƃɐ -פNOS ʎW -ƃuos ǝɥʇ ǝsn noʎ ǝɹɐp ʍoH ¡∩Oʎ NW��p" A voice clashed into their consciousness, ramming its way into their minds.

Breathing heavily, Kamui lifted her Seal of Flames. "This ends TODAY, Anankos!"

"¡∩Oʎ NW∀p" The dragon rolled its thousand eyes to make way for a monstrous teeth-filled mouth, getting ready to shoot its dissolving beam.

The world blinked as the light flickered into the dragon's mouth, its ray as blinding as Ryoma's lightning had been moments before.

But none of them moved.

Kamui kept her Seal of Flames raised, not flinching as the ray approached.

Takumi kept his bow apeak and ready to shoot, unblinking.

Leo hovered his hand over his open book, ready for an opening; his mind focused on what would come next.

Ryoma flew overhead of his family, his eyes unfaltering.

Xander slowly raised his blade, his frown deep as the lowest caves of Nohr's underground, unmoving. "I WON'T allow it!" His low voice shattered the world like a wave breaking on the shore.

Siegfried's barrier pulsated, strengthening with the extent of Xander's feelings -- his protectiveness over Kamui and their unborn baby, his resolve to protect their people from whatever had been controlling his beloved Nohr for so many years, his own hopes for the future, borne only after embracing his love for Kamui and opening his own eyes to a path laid by their happiness.

A mere dragon's rage would never topple Xander's resolve to protect what he held dearest into his heart -- and into his arms. He held Kamui with his free arm, never letting go of the reins, as he lifted his sword with the other hand, the barrier completely withstood the impact of Ananko's previously-dreaded dissolving blast.

"HAH!" Takumi and Leo sneered in unison. "Take that, you lizard!" The hoshidan prince laughed as he shot the overgrown arrow the moment the impact of the dragon's attack lessened in Xander's barrier. The arrow flew, straight and true, towards one of Anankos' arms, entangling itself around his claws as though a sailor tied a tight knot around his ship's anchor. "And another, and another!" Takumi panted, shooting one more magical rope to tie itself between the first and the very ground they stood on -- followed by another two to do the same with the dragon's right arm. "Bind!" He bellowed, his voice echoing with the hoshidan mages and ninjas so very far behind them as they finished the hand seals necessary to strengthen the binding spell, physically pulling and constricting Anankos to the edge of the island they stood on.

Once again the ground shook as though in a seaquake, the island infinitely smaller than the gargantuan dragon bound onto it. The ground level started to slanten, forcing the soldiers to hold themselves into any walls or trees so as not to fall into the nether right below.

Not giving the Forgotten Dragon any time to understand what was going on, Leo chanted under his breath before thrusting his book upwards. "We'll erase you!" He roared, the very island trembling in the rhythm of his breathing -- it not only stabilized itself due to the power of Brynhildr’s roots , but the forest itself rose from the ground, entangling itself around Anankos’ claws and filling the space between them, proceeding to go upwards.

"Form a path!" He panted, the strain of using so much of his weapon's power seeping into his life force, but he wasn't about to stop -- not when the roots acted as he commanded.

Not when the path was almost visible -- the stairway he willed to be unravelled itself in front of their eyes, his hands coordinating it as though a maestro guiding an orchestra.

The strain to keep Anankos stunned made Ryoma clench his teeth, as did the burden of keeping him bound drove Takumi out of his breath.

Yet, like Leo, they wouldn't stop. Not when victory lay so very close to their eyes -- the nohrian prince had but to carve the path for Kamui to reach her nemesis' head.

The Seal of Flames would do the rest.

"Onward!!" The dragon princess vociferated at the same time Xander whipped the reins, Bucephalus himself receiving much of the Yato's power to be able to withstand the shocks and explosions of that battle.

"Sister! The stairs aren't ready yet-" Leo huffed, his vision blurring and his breathing failing him. He was at least thankful that the book was physically bound into his skin, otherwise it might've fallen as well.

"I have faith you can do it, Leo! Keep going!" She smiled at him before turning to the still-forming path ahead in the split of second their mounts crossed paths.

"Hah! Failure is no option!" He renewed his breathing by sheer willpower, straightening his back to resume his conduction of Brynhildr’s roots.

"Fly, Bucephalus!" Xander spurred his horse to its limit as they ascended towards the Forgotten Dragon's head.

Without wasting any time, Anankos once again turned its thousand eyes so as to open its nightmarish mouth, ready to cast his dissolving blast at point blank.

"The path -- we are almost at its end." Xander whispered gravely by Kamui's ear, making her hurried yet attentive eyes switch from it to their goal right on ahead.

"Jump, Bucephalus! Don't falter!" She breathed out, getting ready to jump herself. Xander held onto her abdomen for support as she crouched on the horse's back -- at the very moment the stairs under them ended and the void started.

Anankos once again shot its blinding light, clashing immediately with Siegfried's force shield. "Think again, worm!" Xander made use of the very last bits of strength he had to throw Kamui upwards, aiding her in her jump.

"This ends now!" She yelled as she pointed Yato towards the still open mouth of the Forgotten Dragon, throwing herself inside -- cutting everything open in her path.

For a moment, there was nothing.

No one could remember when they had closed their eyes, but they quickly opened them again to witness the fall of the World Eater.

As though the sea before a quake, the wind was sucked into the nothingness that Anankos had become, tearing the grass from its roots towards the black hole so far up in the sky.

Stillness.

"Kamui! Xander!" Leo yelled desperately for the first time in his life, reaching out to the spot where his siblings had disappeared at, uncaring about appearances.

"Big Sister! Big Brother!!" Elise cried from behind the lines, theis voices being mirrored by one and all who still stood around them.

"May this not be the end of our Queen!" Remaining vallite people cried for their chosen ruler, echoing their nohrian counterpart's words.

"Long live King Xander!" The nohrians clamored, tears falling down their tired faces. "Long live Queen Kamui!" Their voices thunder in the stillness, their words spurred the gears of time to move again.

From far ahead them all, the black hole started dissolving itself into hundreds of thousands lights -- each one of them a single thing it consumed.

The light felt gentle, albeit far, though it didn't raise the worry from the soldier's wrung hearts. The very spot Anankos had been -- where its carcass still lay, unmoving but undoubtedly dead -- still stood, Kamui and Xander nowhere to be found.

The wind started to gush, first as a slight breeze, gaining momentum as though it brew a hurricane -- bringing the flocks of light closer.

They shone over the people's heads, flying towards this or that specific place so as to restore it to its former state -- before the Forgotten Dragon had absorbed it, but not to its former glory from time immemorial.

Islands appeared in the sky one after the other, as did half-collapsed buildings all around where they stood -- the magical display to take one’s breath away.

The world was being rebuilt all around them, but they couldn't feel happiness -- if bringing the world back meant the sacrifice of their heroes, then perhaps they should have left it to oblivion.

Too tired to even move his eyelids, but still resolute in his faith, Leo gripped at the reins, ready to climb the still-standing staircase he managed to finish after Kamui dealt the final blow.

But in that moment, breath was taken from his lungs.

Takumi and Ryoma felt it right there and then as well -- the pulsating power from the Seal of Flames telling its shield-siblings that it still lived; that its wielder still stood, all the while severing their physical binds with their hosts.

A single flock of light touched the empty carcass, quickly making it dissolve into another thousand lights. From within, one could see a purple yet gentle glow enveloping three silhouettes, protecting them from without and within.

Differing levels of surprised gasps roamed around the troops, starting from Kamui and Xander's family.

Siegfried's barrier lifted its future King, Queen and their mount towards the edge of the staircase, slowly dissolving alongside the Forgotten Dragon's dust.

On his feet, Xander pulled Bucephalus' reins as he let Kamui ride it, allowing her an early rest.

The rumble of the soldiers' clamor started as a huff of breath, quickly evolving into a quake that shook the very sky. "Long live the Queen! Long live the King!" They roared, clapped and laughed, finally feeling the high of victory.

Kamui covered her face with emotion, holding her stomach with the other hand. "T-they're calling me your Queen-" she whispered, leaning on the horse's neck so her beloved could hear.

"As they should -- for I will not allow another moment to pass without making you my lawful wife." Xander smiled softly, his heart filled with warmth.

"Oh, Xander..." Kamui's voice shook, her eyes itching with tears. Reality that they had finally beat their nemesis was yet to sink in, but to be there, beside her beloved; to be standing in front of the future whence they would be husband and wife made Kamui quickly accept it as true.

"There is much to do after a war -- for ourselves, that means our coronation. You, as my Queen-"

"And you, Xander, as my King."

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 635

MY 13 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 635:

1) I love big brother.

2) Love love love!

3) Kamui’s rather insightful words.

4) I was glad that Gori-pirate and Cyclops-pirate were back and on the good guys’ team, and I also loved Kamui’s smiling face.

5) Kamui giving his idea of a peptalk.

6) Seriously, I am just so proud of Kamui for finally growing up and being a proper big brother and actually paying respects to his little sister for straightening him out.

7) I wish this moment had better resolution because it was so amazing: Kamui crossing paths with both Gintoki and Okita, which I had been hoping for so much.

8) They’re back-to-back and being a united sibling unit. How can I not love this??? Felt like I’ve been waiting for this moment forever!

9) Kouka must be so proud of her two babies.

10) Not a favorite moment but I was surprised by the Elder’s physique. Kinda creepy that he still has a little head and seemingly no neck. 

11) Yato on yato violence is always a win for me.

12) Really, I was so proud of Kamui in this chapter because of how much he’s matured, I felt as if I was Kouka.

13) YES. ALL THE YESES IN THE WORLD. LOVE.

SHIPS TALLY:

Abuto x Kamui: again, as far as I’m concerned, they’re freaking married.

Gintoki x Kamui: yeah, I know I’m being totally unfaithful to AbuKamui but I can’t deny that I still get a little thrill whenever their paths cross. 

Takasugi x Kamui: I feel the same way when this power couple cross paths., or in this case, talk to each other.

Gintoki x Hijikata or Okita x Kamui: please refer to moment #7...they were within close proximity to each other, that’s enough for me.

Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just so freaking amazing.  It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s generosity that I can enjoy Gintama on yet another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.

FE Fates Replay - Part 5

I was having such a good time.  And then...

Chapter 9 starts out with Corrin returning successful from her mission to suppress the Ice Tribe’s rebellion.  Even Garon is impressed, and makes some hesitant comments about being proud of her.  Honestly, this is the Garon I want.  The one that’s slightly unhinged, but generally does care about the well-being of his children.  You know.  The one with any level of complexity at all.  For a moment all is well, until Iago decides to be the way that he is and announces that Corrin didn’t do it alone as commanded.  Xander’s response here is kinda funny.  “That’s really shitty, Iago, even for your slimy ass.”  Or something to that effect.  Anyway, Garon’s slightly miffed, but let’s it go because damn, she did a real good job on suppressing the rebellion without taking lives.  Again, the Garon with some level of complexity.  Instead of just murder man, he commends her specifically for not taking life in the suppression, which would be cool if that mentality of “not taking life in the conflict is a good thing.”  Shame about the way this game handles villains.

You’re immediately given another assignment: go to...uh...shit.  I can’t remember how to spell the place.  Basically, he wants you to go capture a territory.  Chapter 9 involves going through a fortress that’s the remains of a dragon, which is held by the Hoshidans.  This is a fairly fun chapter.  Not too difficult.  Mostly Effie and Silas carry the day.  You also recruit Azura and Nyx, making this the best recruitment chapter so far!  I really like both of them.  It’s a shame that Nyx is at level 9 when you get her.  Her stats are, uh...pretty terrible.  Okay, really terrible.  Skill, Luck, and Defense are all abysmal, with Magic and Speed being her only worthwhile stats.  They wouldn’t be as bad if she showed up a few levels lower, but at level 9, a lot of her stat spread is unsalvageable without stat boosting items.  Which means if you’re gonna use her, you have to invest.  And I absolutely intend to use her.

The map is your standard Seize map, after clearing everyone out, so not much to report on in terms of combat.  After the fight, Azura explains that she’s stuck here because the Hoshidans, wary after Corrin’s decision, turned on her too and had her locked up here.  So I guess that proves I made the right call.  So much for family, am I right?  Fuck Hoshido.  Azura instantly joins up with you, since she’s got nowhere else to go.  As for Nyx, just to give a bit of info on her, she’s apparently a really old magic user who, for reasons unknown, is in the body of a child.  Honestly, if it weren’t for her outfit, she’d be perfect.  She’s sassy and fun, and admittedly I like her hair.

Chapter 10 has the group arrive in some port town looking for passage to this territory they’re to take.  At first, it’s assumed this port will be safe, but unfortunately for them, it’s now crawling with Hoshidans.  Fortunately for me, Takumi is leading the charge, meaning it’s finally time to kick his ass.  He goes on about Corrin being a traitor and all that, but what’s interesting is he mentions that some Hoshidans took Azura away, and that Ryoma was worried about her.  He wasn’t, obviously, but what’s neat to me is that the eneimes from last chapter were apparently in active defiance of Ryoma, who is essentially their king now that the old queen is dead.  At the very least, the Hoshidans are very disorganized.  So that’s funny.  Good job, idiots.

Honestly?  This is my favorite chapter so far.  I mentioned last time, I think, but while the developers of this game were insistent that Awakening’s weak point was its story (don’t ask how one can be so out of touch, I don’t know either), its actual weak point is mostly its maps.  It’s been a while since I’ve fully played Awakening, but I remember about 90% of it being “route the enemy,” with very little else aside from standard Seize and Defeat the Boss.  There aren’t too many weird conditions or gimmicks.  Fates, at least on the Conquest route, has given some more interesting stuff.  This one in particular is really fun.  You’re defending the territory, so you have four squares at the far north of the map, where your units start, that the enemy can’t reach.  If they do, you lose.  To help out, you get a bunch of ranged weapons near your position to help weaken, but not KO, foes.  There are also a lot of homes around the area that you can access to get some items.  Naturally, as with any defending map, there are tons of reinforcements.  What really makes the map interesting to me is that, so far, we’ve been using a lot of Dragon Veins.  Allegedly.  I don’t use them that often.  They’re not always as helpful as they think.  But in this map, Takumi activates one, and dries up all the water, allowing the enemies to traverse around the paths you’ve been defending.  It’s incredibly frustrating, but a neat surprise that the map pulls to make your attempts at defense even harder.  I know for me, I had spread out my units by this point.  We’d managed to put a dent in their forces and were alerting the houses and trying to push south.  But as soon as that happened, a bunch of reinforcements came in.  The only one who could continue to move forward was Dragon Corrin.  Everyone else had to start back-tracking to defend.

Chapter 10 also introduces three new units to our party.  In order of least to greatest importance, we first have Beruka, one of Camilla’s retainers.  She’s quiet and doesn’t talk much, but honestly was pretty funny in her debut.  Selena, or Severa for those of us who played Awakening, is the same as she ever was, so you kind of expect her to tease Corrin about being heartless for not remembering them, but Beruka joining in was pretty good.  Speaking of, Selena’s the other character who joins, and just like as Severa, she’s a lot of fun.  She’s a bit more mellow here, if only slightly.  A little more in tune with herself, perhaps?  Then we have Camilla.  She arrives, and is surprisingly intense about murdering dudes.  Almost a bit Faye-like, only instead of the love of Alm, it’s for the love of her sister.  It’s a bit disconcerting, frankly.  I go back and forth on really liking Camilla and really disliking her.  They just go a bit too heavy on some of her more intense traits, you know?

The map is pretty tough, but Corrin and Azura wound up kicking Takumi’s ass no sweat.  In fact, I first had Corrin do it, and then with save states thanks to Casual, went back and had Azura finish him instead.  Both of their dialogue reveals about what you’d expect.  Takumi’s just a butthurt baby.  After you win, he whines about Corrin’s betrayal again, and then gets a migraine or something and fucks off.  This is one of those “Camilla is great” moments, because as Takumi is throwing insults as Corrin, Camilla just goes “What a rude boy.  Perhaps I should beat some manners into him...”  Corrin stops her and says no violence, but we really should’ve allowed it.  Takumi mentions the Rainbow Sage, which is apparently our objective that I don’t think anyone has mentioned until now.  He says Ryoma got the blessing so it’s all over for you fuckers now.  Camilla lets us know that it’s fine, Xander also got the blessing ages ago, so the Hoshidans are really just one step behind.  Though depending on time frame of Xander getting this blessing, this would mean that Ryoma could potentially be considered stronger, based on them being “even” in Chapter 6.  Though in fairness, my run involved Xander immediately getting a crit and taking Ryoma out in one shot.  So that was fucking hilarious.

Chapter 11, we finally arrive in this territory.  We meet a nice lady who tells us about the dangers of the mountain the sage lives on, and that he’s been taken captive by the Hoshidans.  Corrin naturally hurries to his rescue, and the fight is on!  This time, it’s against Hinoka.  The map itself is alright?  It kinda forces you to take two separate paths and gets a little cluttered, but not too bad.  Azama is, without question the worst part of this map.  Staves don’t count as a weapon, so his special ability means you continuously take counter damage equal to what you deal to him, and he has some bullshit Hexlock Staff that cuts the HP of anyone hit by it to half for the remainder of the map.  It’s such garbage.  Thankfully, Jakob is very fast, so haha, idiot.  I did get special dialogue with Hinoka, though.  Camilla is just...so incredibly petty here.  “She’s my sister now, you lose, bitch.”  The amount of pettiness on display is unreal.  Corrin, by comparison, actually has a pretty touching conversation.  Hinoka seems to understand Corrin’s resolve, and doesn’t really pressure her the way the others did.  She’s not happy with Corrin’s decision at all, but ultimately accepts Corrin’s decision and lives with it.  This automatically makes Hinoka the best Hoshidan sibling in my book.  I don’t regret siding against the others, but I do regret siding against her.

After the battle, Hinoka recognizes they need to retreat, and makes a comment about gathering their dead later.  She is then informed that there are no dead, only wounded.  Corrin gave the command to not kill anyone in this fight, and announces that she wants to end the war peacefully, without bloodshed if possible.  Hinoka is taken aback, but flees quickly after.  Kaze, however, remains behind to speak with Corrin.  He’s impressed by her devotion to peace, and pledges loyalty to her.  Another new ally!  And a ninja at that!

We meet the Rainbow Sage, who activates something with Yato.  He tells us to seek out the Nohrians who will activate the blade’s true power and awaken it as Grim Yato, the ultimate blade of darkness or whatever!  Given that we already have two Nohrian siblings, I wonder who the two we need could be.  Honestly, I’ve been holding on to this complaint, but now’s a good time: it’s bullshit that the female siblings don’t get unique weapons.  Xander and Leo get unique, powerful weapons, as do Ryoma and Takumi.  But the sisters?  They have to make do with generic weapons.  That’s such utter horseshit, and frankly, kinda sexist.

Immediately after this, Iago shows up and again, decides to be the way he is.  Garon gave a command to kill the sage.  Corrin outright refuses, stating the obvious: Ryoma already got the power, we’re not preventing anyone important from getting it because everyone already has said blessing, you’re doing this for nothing.  The Rainbow Sage thanks Corrin for wanting to spare his life, but proclaims it was time for him to die anyway and just dies out on the spot.  So I guess Mission Successful?  Weird.

I was gonna cut here, as the natural end to a particular thread of the game, but I’m kinda having fun, so let’s keep going.  Chapter 12!  Elise takes ill from a weird virus thing in that territory, and we need to find help!  Garon gives another command, specifically, to go to this one place for rest and relaxation.  Oddly kind.  It also turns out this place is the medical hub of the world, so suspiciously fortuitous.  They group hurries there and fucking surprise, there are Hoshidans everywhere.  Led by Ryoma.  Amazing.  Corrin begs him to let her pass, telling him about Elise’s condition.  He offers the trade: Corrin comes with him, and they’ll let her pass without a fight.  Corrin, of course, refuses.  As she should.  Listen, I get that it’s war, but by now they know what Corrin’s about.  She’s aimed to prevent the death of their soldiers in every battle.  They know she’s shown mercy where protecting life is concerned.  So what does Ryoma do?  Insist on fighting, potentially allowing Elise to die.  Bastard.

Thankfully we get reinforcements in the nick of time, in the form of-oh fuck me.  Laslow, listen.  You’re cool.  I’m glad you’re here.  I liked Inigo too.  But Peri.  Motherfucking Peri.  She is the worst character in the entire series for me.  There’s no question.  Not even a close second.  Even Tharja doesn’t come close, because some of Tharja’s supports were at least endearing in some way.  Peri is just a little sociopath who can’t shut the fuck up about murder.  Xander, where the fuck did you find her, and why is she not in jail?  I honestly feel it’s hypocritical to complain about Hans when you hired Peri on purpose, you asshat.  Honestly, for your belief in doing right by people and wanting to protect others, I cannot believe you thought putting Peri in charge of anything was a good call.  This is actively a blemish on your record.

Fuck, I can’t do this now.  I can’t deal with Peri.  We were having such a good day, then this little freak-ass gremlin shows up and prattles on about stabface of whatever the fuck, and now I’m just angry.  I’ll deal with her later.

15. “Are you sober?” “I’m moderately functional.” bishamon (bisha-winemom)

Dialogue Prompts

The last time Hiyori had been to a proper party with the Gods she was close to, Yato and Bishamon had broken out into a fight and the tipsy Tenjin had been dragged in. But this was an indoor party and Hiyori had never seen anything escalate so quickly. Yato and Takemikazuchi somehow ended up hanging from a chandelier - had that always been there? Yukine had been pranked into drinking sake by a drunk Kinuha - who was now being scolded by Mayu -  and was now wailing sobs stories about Yato to Kiun who could only pat him in comfort. Kazuma was for some reason the centre of a huge drunk dancing group. Bishamon was having a drinking contest with Tsuyu and Tsuyu was obviously winning. How did a tree spirit get drunk anyway?

Hiyori fell asleep amidst the chaos and when she woke up she saw Bishamon sitting near the open balcony door and pouring herself a glass of cold water in a fancy wine cup. Hiyori pushed herself off of whatever she had been sleeping on which turned out to be a cocoon of scarves, sweaters, shrugs and other such unneeded articles of clothing. Bishamon noticed her only when she stepped over Kuraha in lion form to reach her. Everyone else was sleeping either from exhaustion or alcohol induced sleep. The only ones awake were her and Bishamon. Of course she was corrected when Ebisu came in from the balcony and took a seat on the floor next to her and Bishamon.

“Are you sober?” Hiyori asked in concern. “You and Tsuyu drank a lot of alcohol there.”

“I’m moderately functional,” Bishamon let her know, her voice a tad too high. Ebisu grinned and crossed his legs.

“Are parties with friendly Gods usually like this?” Hiyori asked, looking around at what used to look like a very well put together conference room.

“If that is involved, of course.” Bishamon jerked her chin towards Yato’s still-hanging-from-the-chandelier form. Hiyori giggled. “Oh, but then there are those parties where it’s just the seven gods of fortune…those are…memorable.” Bishamon said with an interesting look on her face. Ebisu laughed.

“Bishamon san, is that water?” Hiyori craned her neck to look at the water bottle somewhere in the mess of Bishamon’s hair.

“Eh, water? Why would I need water? This is a special sake brewed in Takamagahara! It purifies the body and soul and it tastes clear and…” Bishamon rambled on about how amazing the sake was and Hiyori sent Ebisu a look. Ebisu shrugged. He had grown a lot since she had last seen him. “Are you listening to me, Hiyori?” Bishamon snapped, grabbing Hiyori’s shoulder. Hiyori started.

“Bishamon san, you’ve already had enough to drink. If you drink more right after you’ve woken up, you’re going to have a terrible hangover.” Hiyori frowned. Bishamon smiled.

“You’re a good kid, Hiyori chan.” Bishamon patted Hiyori’s head affectionately. “But you’re not old enough to drink yet, so you don’t know what happens when you drink.” Bishamon nodded, sounding more like she had convinced herself rather than Hiyori.

“Bishamon san,” Hiyori deadpanned. “My father likes drinking alcohol, I think I can guess a little as to what will happen.”

“Che, listen, kiddos,” Bishamon moved to pat Ebisu on the head too. “When you’ve been a God for this long, you shouldn’t be underestimated.” Hiyori wanted to slam her face into a wall. Drunk Bishamon and Yato were a little too similar.

“Bishamon san, Hiyori has a point,” Ebisu tried to reason with her, but appeared to be too sleepy to pull out his real bargaining skills.

“Ebisu, until you’re old enough, you’re not allowed to drink, and you’ve got long ways to go!” Bishamon grinned. Hiyori wanted to cry, how potent was that sake? Bishamon who had been speaking clear sentences just a couple of seconds ago was already baby talking Ebisu! “Well then! Cheers!” Bishamon raised her hand as if holding a cup and then suddenly decided it would be a better idea to sleep instead. She pushed her fancy wine glass away, took the sake out from the treasure trove underneath her hair and then promptly fell asleep with a bunch of her hair as a pillow.

“Well…that was interesting.” Hiyori said quietly.

“Benzaiten san is worse. Or at least that’s what my previous incarnation wrote down.” Ebisu told her.

“Well then, aren’t we just glad we aren’t friends with her?” Hiyori chuckled.

“It's decided then! They have to fight”, Kofuku announced seriously. “What the hell are you two up to again?”, Yukine asked, entering Kofuku's living room.

He and Tsuki were visiting the pink haired goddess and her Shinki after school because Yukine promised to help out in the shop for the afternoon. Of course Tsuki didn't want to miss a chance to visit her aunt Kofuku to talk about new ways to embarrass her parents, what seemed to be their favorite subject to talk about. Right when they were about to scheme a little plan to interfere with Yato and Hiyori's relationship, Yukine barged in and wondered what those two were talking about.

It was the second time that Tsuki and Kofuku were planning something together since their visit to capypa land what had turned out as a success. “We wanna make things interesting for mum and dad!”, Tsuki explained, a evil little grin on her face.

“Yes! It's going to be great!”, Kofuku cheered happily, an even more terrifying look on her usual cute face. “About what kind of 'interesting' are you talking about exactly?”, Yukine asked, not knowing if he wanted to get an honest answer.

When those two were working together, everything was possible.

“We wanna make them fight”, Tsuki announced, “Aunt Kofuku told me that she did a little research and that it's good for a couple to have a fight once in a while. To keep the relationship healthy you know.” “For a twelve year old girl you seem to know waay to much about those things!”, Yukine said both, admiring and scared, “Are you sure this is a good idea? Messing with their relationship like that? I'm not sure about this.”

“Nah, it'll be fine! We aren't trying to make them break up, we just want to show them that there are more things to a healthy relationship than just being together!”, Kofuku answered, waving her hand.

“Exactly!”, Tsuki joined her, “And I've never seen mum and dad fight! Not even once! That can't be good, they need to let out their anger once in a while! So are you going to help us big brother?”

“I don't know. It doesn't seem right”, the young boy answered.

“It'll give you a chance to tease dad!”, Tsuki said.

“I'm in!” Not only Yukine had learned which buttons to push when it came to cheering up Tsuki, the little girl knew very well how to get what she wanted. So it was decided. The three of them would try and make Yato and Hiyori have a little argument. They spent the rest of the afternoon researching reasons for couples to fight and made a list with things they could try. How they could make them start an argument without noticing that they'd being tricked into doing it. “We could try and make them argue about Yato's paranoia lately”, Yukine said after an hour had passed.

During the last days, Yato had been acting strange again. He always looked around just to find nothing, telling everyone that he felt like someone was watching them or even following them around. They all tried to convince him that he was just being overly dramatic and that nothing was wrong at all but it didn't seem to make his weird habit go away. Especially when they were out to train Tsuki's powers Yato was saying that he felt like something was off but there was nothing wrong every time they checked. Since this was something Hiyori seemed to get annoyed with, they could use it as a possible reason for a fight. And maybe, they would get rid of Yato's paranoia along with it, what would turn out to be a win win situation for everyone involved.

When it was time to go home, the three of them had plotted a whole lot in order to achieve their goal.

Yato and Hiyori had no idea what was waiting for them.

The first attempt on getting the couple to fight started the next day. Tsuki, Yato and Yukine were out again to train Tsuki's powers and when they got home, Tsuki was fast asleep. It took some time before the tiny girl woke up again and when she did, her father and Yukine were out for another job. Drowsily, the blue eyed girl walked into the living room where her mother was sitting on the couch, filling in some important papers for the hospital.

“Oh you are awake again dear! How are you feeling?”, the half Ayakashi asked immediately.

“I'm okay, just a little tired”, Tsuki answered and sat down next to her mother, resting her head against her shoulder.

Hiyori put aside the papers and put an arm around her daughter. “Say mum?”, Tsuki asked, making the first step to fulfilling their little evil plan.

“What is it?”

“Don't you think dad is being overreacting lately? He was being paranoid again today during training. Isn't that kinda nerve wrecking?”, the little girl said.

“He was seeing things again today huh?”, Hiyori said, a slightly annoyed tone in her voice, “Well, that's your father for you. He's always been like that. Sure it can get annoying but he is just acting that way because he is worried about us. And I can see why he is being extra careful at the moment after everything that happened. Anyway, are you hungry? I made a cake earlier.”

“Yeah, thanks!”, Tsuki answered. That didn't work out the way she wanted. It would take more to make them fight, that was for sure.

Later that day, when Yato and Yukine returned they were arguing about something loudly. “I'm not! I swear I'm not imagining these things!”, Yato yelled, the door not even closed yet.

“You do man! There was nothing every time we checked. You are starting to get on our nerves!”, Yukine countered.

“What are you two fighting about this time?”, Hiyori asked, being caught by the commotion as well as Tsuki.

“He is saying that I'm being annoying because I'm trying to protect my family!”, Yato whined like a baby, “I'm not imagining anything!”

Yukine had made his way over to Tsuki and they exchanged an admiring grin. The young Shinki had started this fight on purpose. Just before they got home, he had initiated this topic so Hiyori would maybe join the fight, after Tsuki's first attempt earlier had failed. She did send a text message to her big brother immediately after it happened, telling him that they needed to take it a step further.  

“Yato, what did we agree on?”, Hiyori asked, crossing her arms. “I-It's because we are attracting all kind of Ayakashi when we are training Tsuki's powers”, he said monotone. “Exactly! Tsuki is drawing the attention of nearby Ayakashi and that's why you feel like you are being watched. Nothing more, nothing less!” “I knoooow!”, the god admitted. “Good boy!”, Hiyori said and petted his head before she went back into the kitchen again.

“Do I smell cake?”, Yato asked excited as soon as he could make out the sweet scent. “Yep, I made one for us earlier”, Hiyori answered.

Yukine and Tsuki were left behind, disappointed expressions on their faces while Yato was jumping around like a child, being excited about the cake.

“Well that didn't work”, Yukine admitted. “Nope. This is going to be harder than I expected”, Tsuki admitted.

During the night, when Yato and Hiyori were sleeping, Yukine and Tsuki called Kofuku to tell her how the first try went.

“It didn't work. They made no attempt whatsoever to start a fight”, Yukine reported. “I thought that could be the case. They really are a hand full to deal with”, Kofuku answered.

“So what are we going to do next?”, Tsuki asked.

“Continuing with other subjects they could argue about. We still have a lot of points on the list that we can try!”, Kofuku answered. And so their mission continued.

The next day, their second attack started.

Making Yato and Hiyori fight about Tsuki's education. During their research, Kofuku Yukine and Tsuki found out that the education of their children was always a huge factor when it came to arguing. Tsuki would be asking Yato for something that she knew, Hiyori wouldn't allow her to have. So she asked her father, if they could go and get a new capypa plushy. Her mother always told her that she had enough and that she didn't need any more but she also knew, that if she asked Yato, he wouldn't say no. And that's exactly what happened. Yato was excited and said that they would go and buy one immediately. Tsuki, who knew that they would be running into Hiyori, who would be coming home from work, started to smile, having a good feeling about their second try. Just like planned, when Yato opened the door, Hiyori was standing there asking were they were heading.

“Daddy said that I could have a new capypa plushy, we are going to get it now”, Tsuki explained. “Did he?”, Hiyori asked, sounding a little angry. Yukine who was watching through a little gap on his door, was smiling satisfied, thinking that they surely would make them fight this time. “Yes I did”, Yato answered.

“I told you that Tsuki won't be getting new capypa things any time soon. She's got enough of that stuff already”, Hiyori reminded. “But it's a capypaaaaa. Come ooooon Hiyoriiiiiiiii!”, the god begged like a three year old child. “Yato! I said no!”

“Okay.”

And that was the last word about that subject. After Hiyori's last no, Yato got back to being a clingy cat that tried to cuddle as often as he could. Tsuki and Yukine were once again disappointed. Another attempt had failed. The two of them and Kofuku didn't give up though.

They continued to try and make them fight.

One day when they were all visiting Kofuku again, the pink haired goddess did her best to address the subject of their first time, trying to lure them into an argument. Only to get the result of two blushing teenagers again.

Another day, Tsuki was distracting her parents during dinner so Yukine was able to throw an extra portion of chili onto Hiyori's plate. Since Yato was the one who had been cooking, they hoped Hiyori would complain about the food resulting in Yato trying to defend himself, starting a fight. But it didn't go as planned. Hiyori ran into the kitchen to get some milk because the food was way too hot for her. Yato rushed after her immediately, asking if she was okay. She had told him that the food was too hot and the two kids were already hoping that they had succeeded. But then, much to their surprise, Yato apologized and made sure no one would eat any of the food he had made and prepared something completely new instead.

“THEY JUST CAN'T FIGHT DAMMIT!”, Kofuku cursed when she, Tsuki and Yukine had met up after school again. Not a single one of their ideas had worked. Not a single one, even after they tried everything that was written on a list of subjects that couples would fight about easily.

“Well my parents are and will always be dorks”, Tsuki sighed, “What are we going to do now?”

“Let's give it one more shot!”, Kofuku said, “One last try and if that won't work, we just give up.”

“Alright. One last hope then!”, Yukine said.

And so they started their very last try.

The family had gathered around the dining table once again for dinner. Hiyori'd had a long day at the hospital and Yato, Yukine and Tsuki had been training again after school. Now that they were all together, Tsuki started the last attempt.

“There is going to be another wrestling match today mum!”, she said. As a last resort, they had chosen jealousy as a fighting cause.

“Oh that's right! Are we going to watch it together?”, Hiyori asked.

Wrestling was a passion that Hiyori shared with her daughter. They had been watching matches together ever since Tsuki could think and she loved that sport just as much as her mother did.

“So you are going to watch half naked man?”, Yukine interfered, hoping to catch Yato's attention.

“H-Half n-naked?”, Yato stuttered.

Yukine and Tsuki exchanged a hoping look. The direction this was heading in was good but would they succeed?

“Don't tell me you are jealous!”, Hiyori said to Yato. “No I'm not!”, he countered.

“Yes you are!”

“NO I'M NOT!”

Yes! This was going exactly how the two young ones had hoped. They were slowly starting to get into an argument.

“I just don't see why you would want to look at half naked men when you already have a boyfriend!”, Yato said, his voice sounding serious and insecure at the same time. “And I don't see how you can be jealous about something as silly as that! What do you wanna do? Forbid me to watch it?”, Hiyori responded annoyed.

By now, Yukine and Tsuki were standing next to each other. Those two had been caught up in the subject during the whole time they ate dinner and were now cleaning the kitchen while they continued to argue.

“You know what? Yes! Yes, I forbid you to watch it!”, Yato started to yell.

“Are you kidding me? I'm a grown up woman you can't tell me what to do!”

“Yes I can! I'm a god after all!”

“That's got nothing to do with that! Are you freaking serious here? That's so childish!”

“Oh I see how it is! You think I'm childish huh?”

“Of course you are! I've had both my hands full raising Tsuki but you are even worse than a baby!”

Slowly, the feeling of success turned into a strangely guilty one. Did Tsuki and Yukine go too far?

“If you think I'm that hard to handle why are you even dealing with me in the first place?”, Yato asked, his voice raging.

“You know what, that's what I'm asking myself as well right now!”

“H-Hey, please stop!”, Tsuki tried to interfere, noticing that this was getting out of hand. But her parents didn't even seem to listen to her.

“If that is what you think, maybe it's for the best if we break up!”, Yato blurted out, causing a dead silence in the room.

After a short moment of shocked silence, Hiyori answered: “If that's what you want. Fine! Let's break up!”

“NO!”, Tsuki and Yukine yelled in unison.

This was not what they wanted to achieve at all. Just a little fight to make the relationship between the two of them more exciting was everything they wanted and now they were talking about breaking up.

“Please don't break up!”, Tsuki begged.

“Yes! T-This is all our fault! We were the ones who caused this fight! Please don't do this, that's not what we wanted!”, Yukine joined.

“This is all our fault!” Yato and Hiyori were looking at Tsuki and Yukine who were trying their best to stop them from fighting any more before they looked at each other.

What happened then, was something neither Yukine nor Tsuki had expected.

They started to laugh.

“What? Why are you laughing?”, Yukine asked. “You two are so cute, really”, Hiyori answered.

“Did you actually think we wouldn't notice that you and Kofuku were plotting something?”, Yato explained.

The two young ones were speechless. They didn't know what to say. Yato and Hiyori actually pranked them, with their own plan. “W-What?”, Tsuki stuttered.

“When did you notice?”, Yukine asked.

“We noticed that you were plotting something when you started to point out Yato's paranoia. You two can't hide anything from us! We know you too well to fall for your traps!”

“Wow, w-well guess we failed hard”, Yukine admitted. “So you aren't going to break up?”, Tsuki asked, still worried.

“No, we won't sweetie don't worry! We just wanted to give you a straight wake up call, that's all”, Hiyori  consoled her. “I'm so glad!”, the young girl said relieved, “I'm so sorry! We thought it would be a good idea to make you fight, so your relationship won't get boring.” “That's nice of you and all but you don't have to worry about OUR relationship. It's our responsibility to keep it 'interesting'. Hiyori and I are happy together, we don't fight because we don't have any reason for it. That doesn't mean that our relationship is boring or that we are going to break up any time soon. Next time if you think about something like that just talk to us okay?”, Yato said, looking Tsuki right in the eye.

“Okay!”, Tsuki said and hugged her parents.

Happy about the fact that Yukine and Tsuki didn't cause a breakup between Yato and Hiyori, there was only one thing left to do.

Having a serious conversation with Kofuku about messing with other people's relationships.
