one summer day

01 clear skies. where you run into the last person you want to see, ushijima

<< 00 guidepost. | >> 02 fly high.

pairing: ushijima wakatoshi x reader a/n: i’ve made small changes to the prologue that i felt did not line up with the tone of the following chapters… enjoy! - avery word count: 1k warnings: mentions of fear of parents, cursing terms: nii-chan -- older brother, baka -- stupid/foolish

june, first year

“shit” you curse as you run down the school hallways towards the volleyball gym. the violin case slung across your back thudding on your back with each stride, reminding you of your breathlessness.

you had stayed back after practice ended to make sure you had your parts right, and had completely lost track of time. you could only hope your brother is ready to go, otherwise… you shudder at the thought of the consequences of being late. 

pulling back the sleeve of your jacket, you look at the time again. goddamnit, my legs are so slow– shit– you see a shape in front of you out of the corner of your eye and swerve to the other side. shoes skid against the smooth wood floors as you lose your balance. 

to your surprise, your body stops before hitting the floor. your arm was flung out in front of you, bracing for impact against the floor, but it never came. then you felt it, a warm pressure on your other wrist. oh– the person you avoided running into had saved you from falling. 

regaining your balance (and your composure), you straighten and bow, “thank you!” your cheeks turn pink with embarrassment of a stranger seeing your almost fall. 

“you should be more careful” the voice that spoke sounded familiar, deep like the rumbling of the earth. huh? who– you take a peek at the owner of the voice. shorts in the shiratorizawa purple shade, with the standard school issued track jacket of the same shade running down the arms on a white clad torso. your brother’s practice outfit for the boys’ volleyball team. but at the same time, even though you are outside the volleyball gym, it could be any other boys’ sports outfit too, so it couldn’t be, right? 

you raise your head, praying to the gods that never answered you. nope. lady luck is so not on your side today. it is ushijima.

“sorry. i will be more careful next time.” you give him a sheepish smile about your clumsiness, raising a hand to scratch the back of your head. half hoping he would forget about you from the incident a few weeks ago, you slowly inch away from him. (you had not returned to the gym since that day from the embarrassment of your actions that your brother did not let you live down)

he frowns at you. “wait. you are hurt.” 

questions pop in your head. you are not hurt. in fact, he had just saved you from hurting yourself, so you had no idea what he is on about at all. 

you raise your eyebrow at him. earlier panic forgotten and all. he points at his own cheek. “wait here.” oh right. you had snapped a string during orchestra practice earlier. there was a burning sensation where it made contact with your face, but you thought it was just a light graze and forgot about it. 

setting your violin case down next to you, you plop yourself on the steps leading into the gym as you wonder about how serious the wound was to make a complete stranger worry. hm. 

“here.” ushijima returns with the first aid kit from the gym and seats himself next to you while he goes through the contents of the box. he pulls out a disinfectant wipe, some gauze and tape. “it might hurt.”

his hand is gentle against your cheek as you face away from him to give him a good look at the cut. you tense, clenching your teeth as the solution touches your flesh, and it burns. then you feel a cool gel being applied to your wound. the sound of a medical tape being pulled and torn off. he presses the gauze on your face lightly before securing it with the tape.

you touch your face, feeling his handiwork, and where the gauze is sitting on your face. “thanks ushijima-san.” while your older brother had taken care of you since you can remember, patching your wounds from your clumsiness and wiping your tears away when you feel lost, no one else out of your family had taken care of you like this before. or rather, you never had someone who was that close to you. even now, the closest friend you have is semi, and you have known him for a little under two months, with the unlikely friendship that grew between you. 

surprise colors ushijima’s face. “you know my name?” although it comes out more as a statement than a question. 

“my brother told me. he’s the setter on your team.” you fidget with the bandage, worried if he would think that you are weird for asking about him. 

“ah, miyamura-san.” he nods his face in recognition as he stows the items back into the box and clicks it shut. “well then, i will see you around.” 

you dust your skirt off as you stand up with him. “thanks again.” you open your mouth about to say something else before your brother jogs over to the two of you. 

“y/n! there you are. i completely lost of track of time–” he stops abruptly, glancing from the wound on your face to the first aid kit that ushijima is holding. eyes narrowing onto ushijima, “did you hurt my sister?” he places his hand on ushijima’s shoulder solemnly albeit menacingly. 

“nii-chan! it’s your fault! i had to wait so long for you. my violin string snapped during practice and he helped me bandage it,” you smack him in the head and start to drag him away. he makes a non-committal noise, relenting to your actions. 

all this while, both of you did not give ushijima a chance to explain himself. he steps to the side, quietly amused by the antics of you and his normally serious senpai. 

“apologize!”

“you’re siding with an outsider instead of your brother now?!” 

“you were clearly in the wrong!” 

“no!”

you turn and bow to ushijima, silently showing gratitude and apology for your dumb brother’s words before whispering to your brother, “baka, mom is going to kill us both” and just like that, your brother flinches. the shiratorizawa setter who is unshakable on court, flinches at the mention of your mother. 

well, that’s one thing you share in common.

Zenkaiger's reaction to this?

Kaito: *Goshikida Kaito.exe has stopped working*

Stacey: *blushing* B-baka! And you accuse me of looking like a girl?!

Zyuran: ...You didn't steal that yukata from some poor girl did you?

Gaon: Huh, I didn't know Zox-san was... like that...

Magine: I guess it's pretty enough? Not as pretty as my Reika, ofc.

Vroon: *confusion* But isn't Zox-san a male...? Why is he wearing...?

Flint: So that's why Nii-chan came to the yukata shop with me...

Incorrect (Grey Deer OC) quotes (context is this post)

Extra context below:

Ellia (OC) emcee'd a date auction she and Yami arranged after Julius blew the squad's budget

OC is learning the spoken language. Her level of proficiency is a tell in terms of story progression

She lived with Owen for a period of time

Tags mention Nacht's shtick in the story (maleloser)

Nacht is not a Grey Deer knight. He just keeps getting dragged into their messes

"Ellia" is a placeholder name. It sounds kinda pretentious, so "Ellie", "Elle", and "Elles" are nicknames

They found Nacht drunk once. He threw up on Ellia's brand new shoes that were just gifted to her. Shoes are important to the common folk

-

[Character summary of Grey Deer fic]

Owen: This is Ellia. She has no idea what's going on 85% of the time due to the language and culture barrier.

Owen: This is Nacht. He can't run to save his life due to his chronic smoking, and his physical inactivity leaves him weaker than a little girl. Owen: This is Morgen. Morgen can outdrink Yami and Nacht. He likes carrying his friends like princesses.

Owen: This is Yami. He likes being carried like a princess.

Owen:

Owen: I'd say Ellia needs better friends, but this is literally as good as it gets.

-

Nacht, with a recipe card he got from Ellia: Next, add in a splash of vodka.

Nacht: *upends the bottle*

-

Ellia: What's that?

Yami: Chocolate.

Ellia, not knowing that word: What's chocolate?

Yami: Oh. No wonder you're so bitter.

Morgen: Yami!!

-

(While planning the date auction)

Ellia: We need a way to lure in customers...

Morgen: Maybe we could have some fun, interactive events!

Yami: Nacht bath water.

Nacht: Do you want to die?

-

(Context: OC is learning the spoken language)

Ellia: What does “baka” mean?

Nacht: Moron.

Mereoleona: Idiot.

Yami: Stupid.

Morgen: Everyone, stop.

Ellia: ???

-

Ellia, joking: Yami, can you imagine someone actually liking me? Where are their standards?

Morgen: *standing behind her with roses*

Mereoleona: *holding a box of chocolates and a puppy*

Nacht: *has balloons and a gift bag*

Yami: This is just sad..

-

Gimodelo, standing in the destroyed kitchen: How did you summon me?!

Morgen, frantically flipping through a cookbook: I don’t know!! You were supposed to be chicken soup!

-

Ellia: Hey, can we stay at your base tonight?

Mereoleona: Why?

Ellia: Nacht messed with a magic item and cursed ours.

Yami: And he doesn't know how to banish spirits, so he's just throwing salt at them and yelling "DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A HOTEL TO YOU?!"

Ellia: And Morgen's calling for an emergency family meeting, so that's also fun.

-

(While taking Nacht home)

Ellia: May I have the concern? (Translation: Should I be concerned?)

Yami: Well, when Nacht gets drunk, he either gets depressed or tries fighting the first person he sees.

Morgen: But didn't he just see his reflection?

Yami, grinning: Exactly.

Nacht: *crying because he punched a shop window*

-

Owen: *Turns on the kitchen light*

Ellia: *sitting cross-legged on the table, eating cookies*

Owen:

Ellia:

Owen: *Turns the light off*

-

Nacht: And when you see her, give her this face.

Nacht: *smiles*

Nacht: She'll know what it means.

(Later)

Asta: Oh, the vice-captain told me to show you this!

Asta: *smiles*

Ellia: Oh. He's gonna kill me.

-

Morgen: Okay, what does A stand for?

Ellia: Arson.

Morgen: Wha... N-No. Okay, what does B stand for?

Ellia: Barson.

Yami: *laughing*

Morgen, slowly becoming more desperate: What about C?

Ellia: Commit arson.

Nacht: *eating popcorn*

Morgen: D?

Ellia: Don't come near me, I'm going to commit arson.

Yami: *more laughter*

Nacht: E!

Ellia: Ellia wants to COMMIT arson!

Yami: *starts wheezing*

-

Ellia: Any questions?

Nacht: Yeah—WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

Yami: Dude, chill, I know it’s weird, but Elles has a point.

Morgen: I agree, Nii-san, you shouldn't be so quick to judge without at least trying it out.

Nacht:

Nacht: THAT WAS LITERALLY JUST A CIRCLE!!

*Later*

Nacht, plan finished successfully: Okay, I see it now.

-

Nacht: Has anyone told you how pretty you are?

Yami: Wrong person. That only works on Elles, put your hands behind your back.

-

(After Nacht threw up on her shoes)

Yami: I told you to call Elles pretty in your apology.

Nacht: I did.

Nacht: *sobs* I said she was pretty ugly.

-

Nacht: I thought you guys would be dealing with my bullshit.

*Yami, Morgen, and Ellia currently evacuating civilians from an attack on the town*

Nacht, being used as a warp mage: Not the other way around.

[khr-guilded-cage]

The Sawada living room feels tense and suffocating. The air is thick with unspoken words as Kiyomaru stands near the doorway, gripping the Lightning Ring tightly. Tsuna is in the center of the room with his chaotic Guardians. He’s trying—trying desperately—to keep everything calm, to maintain some semblance of order. The usual chaos of his Guardians is escalating around him, though, threatening to spiral out of control. Reborn sits casually on a chair, his fedora tilted to hide his expression. Nana hums in the kitchen, oblivious to the storm brewing in her home.

The loud noise of their arguing fills the room, bouncing off the walls, each Guardian in their own frenzied state. Tsuna winces at the outburst, his head dropping slightly, but he still tries to intervene, his voice soft but firm. “Guys, please! Calm down…”

But no one listens. All laughing, screaming and arguing over anything Tsuna has to say...

Just as it feels like the situation will boil over, the door to the living room open loudly, and a cold silence falls over the group. Tsuna looks up, startled by the sudden stillness. Kiyomaru stands in the doorway, his posture rigid and his eyes sharp. His expression is angry, but the energy surrounding him is thick with purpose, and it’s clear that he’s not here for pleasantries.

Without a word, Kiyomaru steps into the room, his gaze briefly flicking over the scattered Guardians before landing squarely on Tsuna. His voice cuts through the tense atmosphere like a blade. “We need to talk, Sawada.”

Tsuna flinches. The use of his surname hangs in the air like an accusation. His heart races, the shock of the formal address striking deep. He’s never heard his nii-san speak to him like that, never in all the years they’ve known each other. The weight of it is suffocating. His mouth opens, but the words falter before they can escape.

“Kiyo…nii?” Tsuna whispers, trying to process what’s happening. His eyes search Kiyomaru’s face, desperate for any hint of understanding, of the friend he once knew. "Hieee-"

His voice is low and laced with bitterness. “I’m done, Sawada. I’m done being your meat shield, your sacrifice, the Vongola’s dog. Take your ring—” He throws the Lightning Ring at Tsuna, the small object clinking as it hits the floor. “—and shove it. I’m not playing this game anymore.”

Tsuna’s eyes widen in shock, his hand reflexively reaching out as the ring clatters to the floor. “Kiyo-nii… what are you saying? You’re my friend, my brother. You’ve always been there for me. Why now? Why like this?” His voice cracks, desperate.

“Friendship? Is that what you think this is?!” Kiyomaru’s voice rises, and for the first time, the others see the fury and pain behind his words. “Because you are a BASTARD! You stood by while the Vongola used me like I was disposable! Like I wasn’t even a person—just a shield for their precious heir. And you let them. Every single time.”

Reborn smirks slightly, his voice cold and unbothered. “That’s the job of the Lightning Guardian, baka-Kiyo. To protect the boss. You knew that when you accepted the ring.”

He whirls on Reborn, his fists clenched. “Accepted? Don’t make me laugh, you little tyrant! You forced me into this—blackmailed, threatened, manipulated me into risking my life for your twisted games. And you!” He points at Tsuna. “You just let it happen. You never stopped him. You never stood up for me. Some friend you are.”

“Watch your mouth!” Gokudera steps forward, glaring at Kiyomaru. “You have no right to talk to the Tenth like that! He’s done everything he can to protect us and bring us together as a family. If you’re too much of a coward to stick around, then leave!”

“Coward?!” Kiyomaru’s laugh is harsh and humorless. “You don’t get it, do you? This isn’t about fear. This is about having some damn self-respect! Tsuna - Sawada’s letting these people—his so-called ‘family’—use and hurt the only real friends he ever had. And you, his precious right-hand man, are too blind to see it!”

“You’re the one who let the Vongola use you,” Kiyomaru continues, his tone hardening. “And I’m the one who had to carry that weight. I fought for you, Tsuna. I protected you. And you didn’t even see it. You didn’t even care.”

Tsuna’s voice is barely a whisper when he speaks. “I… I didn’t know… Kiyo-nii, I never wanted this. I never wanted you to be hurt because of me, I never wanted to be a Mafia Boss…”

Kiyomaru shakes his head, the disgust in his eyes evident. “You didn’t want it, but you let it happen. You let them use you and everyone around you.” He looks around at the Guardians, his gaze cold. “You never questioned any of it. You’re nothing but a broken puppet for the Vongola, Tsuna.”

Yamamoto steps between them, cheerful. “Haha, Fujimori, I get that you’re upset, but don’t you think you’re being a little harsh? Tsuna’s trying his best. We all are.”

“Trying?” Kiyomaru sneers. “Then why does it feel like the only thing you’re all trying to do is keep him trapped in this mafia nightmare? You’re not his friends—you’re his enablers, his keepers.”

“Kiyo…” Tsuna’s voice trembles. “I—, Kiyo-nii—”

“Don’t.” Kiyomaru’s voice cuts through the room like a blade. “Don’t call me that. You lost the right to call me your brother the moment you chose the Vongola over me. It’s Fujimori-san to you now."

The words hit Tsuna like a physical blow, and he takes a step back, his face pale. “F-Fujimori… san?” His voice is barely a whisper.

“You bastard!” Gokudera lunges at Kiyomaru, his Dynamite in hand, but Yamamoto grabs his arm to stop him.

Kiyomaru doesn’t flinch, his gaze locked on Tsuna. “Goodbye, Sawada. I hope you enjoy your gilded cage and your fake family.” He turns on his heel, walking out of the house without looking back.

As the door slams shut, Reborn finally speaks, his voice calm and unreadable. “Well, Dame-Tsuna, looks like you need another Lightning Guardian.” he says casually.

I made a interesting perspective based on another fic I read

My oc Fujimori Kiyomaru, Tsuna's only childhood friend, Lightning Flames

Reborn manipulated him into fighting the Varia to save Lambo and 'protect Tsuna', he is pretty much the only one that doesn’t like Reborn

As the Lightning Guardian, a blood powerful one, the Vongola demanded him to be the meat shield for their last surviving heir, and made sure he knew that. Tsuna protested, but didn't do much because Reborn shoot him and told him to shut up

With time, watching Tsuna befriend those people that ignored his wishes and only cared for his status as heir, while doing nothing to help the only real friend he had, their friendship soured

Kiyo grew tired of begin in this fake family, of Tsuna just letting Vongola use his friends, he remembered when CEDEF come after Fuuta for information and rankings, when they came to use his friends as disposable and Tsuna did nothing

Watching Tsuna smilling and laughing with Nono - his 'grandfather' - and his Guardians, Reborn - the hitman who BLACKMAILED and THREATENED him into fighting a assassin squad and putting his loved ones in danger - begin treated as a dear chaotic mentor and him - stuck as a Meat Shield because his life has even less value than Tsuna...

For all he TRIED to protect Tsuna from Vongola...

Those people ruined Tsuna's life and he is not even angry at them? He is stuck in a gilded cage and seens confortable in his delusions? Don’t even care for all manipulation and threats they did to both of them?

So much like Sawada Nana

So he left, angry at his former friend for begin so spineless and cowardly boss that cant even stand up for his friends, not before throwing the Lightning Ring on Tsuna's sad and stunned face and calling him a awful friend, and getting in a fight with Gokudera for 'insulting the Tenth' and begin called a coward for running away.

He might join Millefiore maybe?

[rouge-heichou]

I can't tell what's funnier; Reading Dabi's "SHOTOOOO!!!!" in Endeavors voice, or Shoto's "BAKA NII-SAN!"

Fan Fic

I tried writing a fan fic for the wonderful Heel siblings. I wish this arc continue a bit longer. I really want to see a clingy and spoiled Setsu.

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this fan fic. Credits to the author for this wonderful story, Skip Beat 💕

Heel Siblings Fan Fic

At the event where Setsu mentioned Cain was enjoying himself playing B.J., he seemed shocked by it. 

After shooting, Setsu noticed that there was something wrong with her dear brother. Watching her brother fall asleep, Setsu lay in her bed in a daze. She fell asleep for a while and woke up. 

Still in a daze, Kyoko thought to herself that Tsuruga seemed to be fighting something. When he was playing as B.J., it seemed that he was possesed and that scared her for a moment. Most of all, when Setsu mentioned that he enjoyed being B.J. and he didn't seem to notice, he was shocked for sure. 

'Ugh. I must stop pondering over it. 'I should get some breakfast.'

Kyoko went out and bought breakfast for them both. It is still early. It is literally early that it is still in the middle of the night. 

 

To be honest, I really can't be at ease staying in the same room with Tsuruga-san. I wake up before he's awake, and sleep only after he sleeps.

Setsu thought that even her brother acts as if he doesn't care. Always tightly wrapped in his own blanket.

While walking back to their hotel room, Setsu saw Cain in the hallway. 

Her dear brother is still wrapped in his blanket. 

"Nii-san?" Is there something wrong? Is everything okay? " Setsu asked. 

Cain looked at her. 

"Where have you been?" he asked.

"I bought our breakfast outside." Setsu replied. 

"Don't go out alone so late at night. It is not safe. "

"It is very nearby," Setsu said while pointing outside.

"Don't ever go out alone." "He said in a serious tone.

Setsu was taken aback by her dear brother. He was so serious.

"I'm sorry..." Setsu said, feeling sullen. Her dear brother looked mad a while ago.

Cain seems to sense Setsu's sulleness.

"Nah, it's fine. It's all okay now. " Cain took a step towards Setsu. Fanning out his blanket

"Come here," Cain said, while he opened his arms, fanning out the blanket around him. 

Kyoko was shocked to the core. 

'Aaahhhh! What did he mean to come here? Where? Where? Where? AAAAAHHH! Don't tell me.... Aaaahhh! '

Kyoko's stunned to the point she can't think straight. Kyoko calmed herself. She's Setsu right now. 

Setsu will never refuse her dear brother.

'Tsuruga-san and I are currently in a totally eccentric baka brother and sister relationship to the point of abnormality!' 

Still hesitating on what to do, Cain seems to sense her trouble.

"Setsu..." Tsuruga-san, who was in Cain mode, looked at her. His eyes looked sad and vulnerable.

Seeing him like that Kyoko steeled her resolve.

'I'm Setsu! My brother is my priority above anything else! '

Setsu gripped the bag containing their breakfast. She took a step forward, slowly moving towards her brother. 

As Setsu nears to Cain's arms, Cain spreads his arms more, then envelops Setsu in his arms. 

'Kyaaaa! This is too overwhelming! Kyoko, Setsu face, Setsu face! ' 

Being enveloped in her dear brother's embrace made Setsu happy. Her brother is hers alone. 

While happy in Setsu mode, Kyoko is still flustered and worried. Somehow, Tsuruga-san is trembling. 

"Nii-san, let's go back. You still have shooting later. " Setsu looked at her dear brother. 

Cain smiled at his darling sister. I like to reassure her.

"Okay. Let's go back." 

As they went back to their room, still in their brother's embrace, Kyoko thinks that something must have possessed Tsuruga-san.

'Uwaaa! Walking like this is so embarrassing?'

When they got to their room, Kyoko couldn't take it anymore.

"Nii-san, you should sleep now." Kyoko looked at Tsuruga-san, then said in a Setsu manner. 

"Hmm... Setsu, accompany me to sleep?" 

Kyoko froze. Accompany him to sleep? Is this another test for being an actress?!

Kyoko calmed herself. She's Setsu. Setsu will gladly oblige her dear brother's request. Knowing the bro's sister, she'll be overjoyed.

'I'm Setsu. And Setsu's number one is her brother Cain. I can do it! '

Setsu broke away from her dear brother's embrace. They walked inside and dropped their breakfast on the table. Then she turned to her brother and smiled. 

"Nii-san really can't do without me." Setsu said jokingly.

 

"En. "BrotherBrother really can't do without Setsu." Cain replied.

Kyoko received another crit hit.

'Uwaaa! What has gotten to him? Why is 'Cain' so clingy today?! '

Setsu sighed and shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the bed.

"Sleep now, Nii-san. Your lovely sister will accompany you to sleep." Setsu said as she sat at the edge of the bed. 

Accepting her invitation, Cain went to sleep, dragging and hugging his dear sister to bed. 

'Kyaaaa! He really went to sleep hugging "Setsu"! This is so awkward. ' 

While Kyoko ponders her thoughts. Cain keeps his tight hug on Setsu. 

'How can I sleep like this?Setsu would be really happy to sleep with her dear brother. Actually, according to her character, it would be possible that she always sleeps in the same bed beside her brother. This is really hard! ' 

Kyoko wailed internally. How can she sleep like this? 

She must admit some part of her (other than the Setsu part) is quite happy? 

'I got hugged by the Tsuruga Ren! Even sleeping in the same bed! '

Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Ayato Dark [Prologue]

Monologue

ーー Past the underground waterway,

there’s a portal connecting to the Demon World. 

I stood in front of it,

and after taking a deep breath,

gently pressed my hands against the door.

Then pushed.

A heavy sound echoes in response,

as the gates slowly opened.

Seeping through the crack,

was a never-ending darkness.

And thenーー

ー The scene starts in the forest of the Demon World

Yui: ( ...Ayato-kun...I wonder if he’s okay after being so badly injured? )

( ...I’m worried... )

( Either way, I should hurry to the castle so I can confirm whether he’s safe or not! )

( It should stand out amongst the other buildings, so I’m sure I’ll be able to find it if I just get a move on... )

( If I don’t, then... )

...

*HOOOOOWL*

Yui: ...!

( T-That was the howling of a wolf just now, right? )

*HOOOOOWL*

Yui: ( Again! )

( I-I should hide somewhere! )

ー The scene shifts to the abandoned building

Yui: Haah, haah...

( I guess I’m fine for now? )

...Phew...

( I just entered the first building in sight but I wonder if it’s safe here...? )

( ...I wonder what the others are up to right now. )

ー A flashback ensues

Ayato: Rest assured…Chichinashi. You belong to me. No way in hell I’m handin’ you over to some darn wolves!

ー The flashback ends

Yui: ( ...Ayato-kun... )

( I want to rush to your side...I’m worried... )

( After all, if something were to happen to Ayato-kun... )

...

*HOOOOOWL*

Yui: ...!!

( N-No way! They’ve chased me this far!? )

*HOOOOOWL*

Yui: ( They’re getting closer. )

( W-What should I do? I don’t know where to run. )

???: ーー Oi!

*Rustle*

Yui: ...!!

Ayato: Shh...! Don’t make a sound...!

Yui: ...A...Ayato-kun...? 

Ayato: Yeah, it’s me. So don’t go pissin’ your pants.

Haah...Geez. Why did you come here when you were told to stay behind in the human world...?

You really are an idiot! From today onwards, you’ll be known as ‘Baka Chichinashi’ (1) instead!

Yui: ...S-Sorry...

But...I was worried about you...

Ayato: ...You...

Yui: Say, are your injuries okay now? Did they finish the treatment?

Ayato: Fool. Who do you take me for?

As you can see, I’m in tip-top shaー Ugh...

Yui: A-Are you okay!? Don’t push yourself...

Ayato: Hmph. You should worry ‘bout your own body.

...So, about those wolves...

Yui: I can’t hear them anymore but...

Ayato: ‘Kay, seems like they left. God...

Yui: Y-Yeah...Thank god...

...Ah...But how did you know I was here, Ayato-kun? Is this building close to the castle perhaps?

Ayato: Nah. If anything, the exact opposite.

It’s just...For some reason...I just knew.

As if you were calling for me.

Yui: Ayato-kun...

Ayato: So, you didn’t have another one of your clumsy moments and hurt yourself, right?

Yui: Yeah, I’m fine.

Ayato: Hm...Well, that’s good then.

Yui: Um...Thank you for worrying about me when you’re not having an easy time right now either.

Ayato: W-Worry? I’m not concerned or anythin’! Don’t get the wrong idea! Che...!

Anyway! We can’t stay here forever. Let’s get back to the castle already!

Yui: Yeah...

( How strange...When Ayato-kun’s with me, I suddenly feel this safe... )

Ayato: ...Oi, why are you grinnin’ for by yourself?

Yui: Eh? I-I’m not smiling!

Ayato: Nah, you were definitely smiling! From ear to ear! I saw it with my very own eyes!

Haahn...Don’t tell me you were having dirty thoughts at a time like this?

Yui: Eh!? O-Of course not!? Iーー

???: ーー Playtime is over.

Ayato: ...!? And you are...?

Yui: ( W-Why is he here!? )

A-Ayato-kun, this is Shin-kun’s older brother.

Ayato: ...I see. I get it now.

I thought somethin’ was fishy ‘bout those two, but I guess you guys are also...from this world, huh?

Carla: ...

Ayato: ...! Oi, answer me!! You bastards are Vampires as well, aren’t you!?

???: ーー Vampires? Think again.

I’d rather not get grouped together with you guys ー capiche!?

*THUD*

Ayato: ...!?

ー Ayato collapses

*Thud*

Yui: Ayato-kuーー

???: Woah there. You’ll be coming with us too, Komori Yui-san.

*Thud*

Yui: ( Ah...! Uu... )

ー She collapses as well

Shin: Ahー ...Geez. It’s so hard to hold back and not actually kill them...

So, Nii-san? What should we do next? Do we kill the guy?

Carla: ...Shin. Leave him alone. Take both of them to the manor.

Shin: Roger. Haah, that being said, these two sure are a handful...

*TIMESKIP*

???: ...Oi...

Yui: ( Nn...This voice...? )

Ayato: Are you ‘kay, Chichinashi!? Get a grip...!

ー Yui opens her eyes

Yui: Ayato-kun...

Ayato: ...

...Geez. Even though you were still breathin’, you didn’t move at all like you were dead or somethin’...You’re not hurt anywhere, right?

Yui: Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you...But...Where are we...?

Ayato: Beats me. However, it seems like we were taken back to the human world.

Those Tsukinami guys, the one with the scarf and  the other with the eyepatch...It’s probably their manor, no?

Yui: ...I guess so...?

Ayato: Haah. Even if I’m not in the best shape right now ‘cause of the Lunar Eclipse, I still messed up big time...Fuck...

Yui: ...I wonder why they brought us here...?

Ayato: Don’t ask me. ...But well, I doubt they’re gonna give us a warm welcome.

Yui: ...R-Right...

...

Ayato: ...Ugh.

...Oi, how to put this...Don’t make that face.

This isn’t a worst-case scenario or anythin’.

After all, I’m still here by your side! So why should you worry?

Yui: Ayato-kun...

Yeah...!

( He’s right. Ayato-kun’s here with me, so it’ll be okay... )

*Knock knock*

ー Shin enters the room

Shin: Ahー Sorry to interrupt, but do you have a minute?

Ayato: You...!

Shin: Stop, stop! No need to bare your fangs at me right away, don’t you think? I did knock for one, didn’t I?

Ayato: Like that matters one bit! You just dragged us over here for god knows why!? 

Now move out of the way. We’re headin’ home.

Shin: I’m afraid you can’t. You two will be heading towards a banquet now after all.

Yui: A-A banquet...?

Shin: Exactly, a party! Sounds lovely, no?

Unlike you crude Vampires, us Founders have class.

Ayato: Founders...!?

Yui: ( Founders...Now that he mentions it... )

ー A flashback ensues

Reiji: In the Demon World, one more species going by the name of the ‘First Bloods’ exists.

They are said to be the ancestors of every species living in the Demon World.

Ayato: The fuck? That’s a first for me. Besides, I’ve never run into one of those over at the Demon World either.

Reiji: Of course not. They suffered defeat in a war against our Father and Demon Lord Burai, before being banished to a castle.

They are forbidden from leaving.

Laito: Then wouldn’t it be impossible for them to show up here in the first place?

Reiji: You are indeed right. But well, they possess the abilities of the wolf, eagle, snake and bat all at once.

Therefore, it would be possible for them to transform into wolves as well. I simply wanted to bring it up as one possible explanation.

ー The flashback ends

Yui: ( Could those Wolves have been...? )

Ayato: I’m no expert on Founders, but you guys should be locked up somewhere, no?

Shin: Well, I guess you could say that.

However...Our time of having to endure the suffering has come to an end.

ーー No, we will end it with our own hands.

Yui: ...?

Ayato: Argh! You’re not makin’ any sense!

Anyway! Just get out of the wa...Ugh...

Yui: Ayato-kun!

Shin: Ahーah, are you trying to act tough in front of your girl (2) even though you’re not quite fully recovered yet?

Let me tell you straight-up. You have no chance at getting away from us while severely wounded like that.

If you understand that, you should just listen to us and come to the banquet.

If not...I’m sure even an idiot such as yourself knows what will happen to your little girlfriend over there?

Ayato: ...

Shin: Ah, right. By the way...She’s actually kind of my type, you know?

So you know, I personally wouldn’t be against having some fun with her, if you get what I mean.

You could say I’d love to turn that cute face of hers into a teary mess.

Yui: ...Uu...

Shin: If you don’t mind that, then be my guest and go wild?

Ayato: ...Tsk...

...Fuck...!

Yui: ...

ー The scene shifts to the living room

Shin: ーー Come on in.

Yui: ( It smells good in here... )

( I thought that maybe we’d be moved somewhere else when he brought up the banquet. )

( But are we truly...simply invited? ...But we shouldn’t trust them just yet, right? )

Shin: Take a seat wherever you like.

Ayato: I will do just that! My place isーー

Shin: ーー Wait! That’s where the owner of the manor sits. Good grief. Just how stupid are you?

Ayato: Shut up...!

Yui: A-Ayato-kun. Let’s just sit here together, okay?

Ayato: Che...

Shin: Haha, you really are a disgrace to all Vampires, having a human order you around like that.

Ayato: Aah!? That’s notーー

???: ーー What is this ruckus?

Shin: Hey, Nii-san. Perfect timing. I was having some trouble because our guests tonight don’t seem to have any basic manners.

Carla: ...

Ayato: Che...Starin’ at me like that.

Carla: ...

Ayato: What’s your problem!? Got somethin’ to say to me!? Then speak up!

Shin: Hehe...Too bad. Nii-san would never fall for such an obvious taunt. Anyway, just take a seat for now.

Ayato: ...Che...Fine!

...So? What’s the point behind this farce?

We’re not actually here to enjoy a meal together, right? Get to the point already.

Carla: ...

How pretentious...I truly do pity you for being born a Vampire...

Yui: ( I-I wonder why? I feel as if Carla-san has a perfect grasp on the situation... )

Ayato: Hmph! Don’t talk as if you know me!

Carla: ーー But I do.

You lot are fixated on that woman over here, all because of the heart which has been put inside her body. Am I right?

Yui: Eh...?

( H-How does he know about my heart...? )

Carla: Furthermore...Ayato, you were the first one to attack that heart’s previous owner, were you not? (3)

Ayato: ...

Shin: You guys don’t know anything about us, but we know everything.

That means we’re at an advantage in this situation.

In other words, you guys are on the losing side. I’m sure even an idiot understands that?

Ayato: ...Tsk.

Yui: ( W-What to do? I wonder what they’re after...? )

Shin: Besides...Hehe...

Ayato: ...What?

Shin: Oh noー... I was just thinking you’re quite the pitiful little guy? I almost feel bad for you.

Ayato: What do you mean?

Shin: Oh? I’m sure you know that better than anyone else. If you’ve forgotten, shall I remind you?

Carla: It seems like the lack of love and care you received from your Father Karlheinz...

Combined with Cordelia’s cruel treatment has twisted you quite a bit.

Ayato: Wha...!? Try sayin’ that one more time, you bastard!!

Yui: A-Ayato-kun, calm down...!

Ayato: ...

Carla: Hmph...It appears to me that said woman over there is keeping you in check for now.

However...

People do not change that easily.

Ayato: ...

Shut up...Not another word!!

*SHATTER*

Yui: A-Ayato-kun!

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! I don’t want to stay here one second longer! Let’s go!

*Rustle*

Yui: Ah...!

ー Ayato drags Yui along.

Shin: Ahーahー ... We worked so hard to prepare this banquet and he made a complete mess of it...

Well, in the end, Vampires are nothing but lowlives who can’t go one minute without throwing an angry tantrum.

That being said...They were only here for a little while, but this room already stinks of Vampire...

Honestly, it makes me gag...

Carla: ...Exactly...

ーー Get rid of it. Throw out everything they touched.

Shin: Fufu, gotcha, Nii-san.

ー The scene shifts to the bedroom

Ayato: Fuck...Why is this whole place so damn sturdy!?

My punches don’t have any effect.

Yui: ( We started looking around in search of an exit, but the whole manor is highly secure. )

( So in the end, we had no other choice but to return here... )

Ayato: The fuck’s their problem...? How do they know all those things...?

Yui: ( I wonder what the Founders’ goal is...? )

( Besides, why do they know Ayato-kun that well...? )

Ayato: ...Fuck...

Yui: ( I wonder if there’s anything I can do for him right now...? )

...Hey, Ayato-kun...?

ー She embraces him

*Rustle*

Yui: ( I hugged him in the spur of the moment, I wonder if he’ll get upset...? )

Ayato: Yui...

...

Yui: ( Ah...He wrapped his arms around my back... )

Ayato: ...Haah...

Yui: Don’t worry, Ayato-kun.

Ayato: ...What? Are you trying to comfort me? Shouldn’t it be the other way ‘round?

But...Well...Guess it’s fine. Since it’s you...

Hey...Nn...

ー Ayato bites her

Yui: ...Ah...

Ayato: Come on, let me have a little taste.

Yui: ...Go ahead, Ayato-kun.

Ayato: Nn...Hah...Nn...

Yui: ( If I can be somewhat helpful to him by being by his side, or by giving him my blood, then I don’t mind that at all. )

( I want to be there for him. ...I’m sure that feeling will never change, no matter what lies ahead. )

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) Since he’s talking about changing her nickname and I never translate ‘Chichinashi’ to English either, I decided to keep it consistent and put the idiot (baka) part in Japanese as well.

(2) 彼女 or ‘kanojo’ can mean both ‘girlfriend’ or ‘she/her’ in Japanese. However, I’m pretty sure Shin usually refers to Yui as あの女 or ‘ano onna’ or something else along those lines, instead of ‘kanojo’. Therefore, I decided to translate it as ‘girlfriend’ in this particular sentence. 

(3) I actually had a lot of trouble translating this sentence. The phrase 手をかける or ‘te wo kakeru’ can mean both ‘to lay hands on’ in more of a negative sense, as well as ‘to care for’ or ‘to rear’. However, it doesn’t really make sense for him to say Ayato cared for or looked after Cordelia, so I interpreted it as Carla referring to the fact Ayato was the one who started when the triplets murdered her together.

Heyy Dina!!! Sorry for taking me so long to post this nfksnf but I hope you like it hehe

here are your results!

Kageyama (Soulmates)

Suna (Enemies)

Kuroo (Married)

KAGEYAMA

If there was something you learned after middle school, being Tooru’s little sister was hell. It’s not because he was a bad big brother but more like you hated being compared to him. You hated being feared by guys just because they were scared of your overprotective brother, who apparently threatened almost every male species to come near you.

And with that, you learned that never again will you want to be in the same school as him. After presenting all your strong arguments as to why you wanted to enroll in another school through a powerpoint presentation, your parents agreed to let you study at Karasuno High. Tooru was against it of course, it being “Tobio-chan’s school” but after ignoring him for a whole week, he finally gave in.

“Text me if anyone hurts you okay? I’ll hit them till they break.” you see the fire ignite in his eyes as he patted your head. “Bye Tooru-nii. I’ll see you at home.” You nodded and turned away.

You weren’t familiar with the campus but thankfully, you found your room just in time for homeroom. Beside you sat an oddly familiar face. Then it struck you. “Oi Kageyema! What’s up?” you greeted your middle school acquaintance. “Oikawa-san?” he questioned. You placed yourself at the desk beside him and began conversing, well mostly reminiscing the past.

and once he learned that you had no interest in joining the girl’s volleyball team, he convinced you to join the boy’s vbc as a manager.

In a world where the bruises your soulmate receives also appear on your body, not once were you expecting Kageyama to be your pair.

It started when you got home and Tooru noticed the bluish-purple pigments that appeared on your knees. “Oi baka, what’s that?” he pointed. “I joined the karasuno volleyball club as a manager. Maybe I got it when I was cleaning? or walking, idk” you shrugged as you walked past him going to your room. You could hear him whine at the other side of your door, spouting reasons why you should quit and telling you how “hurt” he was that you were helping his “rival” but once again, you really didn’t care.

You were Tooru’s opposite, actually. He has this cheeky happy go-lucky personality and all you had was this tough-nut hard to crack bad bitch vibe.

Then one training, Hinata pointed out how Kageyema had the same bruises and maybe he was your soulmate after all. You didn’t believe it at first but when you saw the identical blemishes, your doubt faded away. You and Kageyama started hanging out with no care in the world, started dating behind Tooru’s back and made him swore to never utter a word to your brother. Ever. But you never expected Tooru to throw a fit during one of the practice matches, making you admit your relationship with the setter. Thus, he grounded you lmao. Even he convinced your parents that Kageyama was bad news.

Now, here you were lying down, having a hard time sleeping, your eyes as wide as an owl at night. You were about to try sleeping again when you heard small thuds on your window.

You stood up and peeked, seeing Kageyama on the ground, throwing small pebbles.

“What are you doing here?” you whisper yelled.

“Come on, let’s go on an adventure?” he replied awkwardly.

You rolled your eyes, grabbing a sweater and opened your window. You got out gently, not wanting to let anyone know you were sneaking out but of course, the as the clumsy person you were, you slipped on the roof and was about to fall on the ground.

It was a good thing Kageyama had fast reflexes, catching you with his arms. “Thanks” you muttered. “WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” you see your brother yell at his room, fuming to see you with Kageyama.

“Run!” you said, grabbing Kageyama’s hand and heading to his car.

The both of you quickly got in and drove away. “I’m gonna have my ass whooped, when I get home” you buried your face on your hands letting out a grunt. Your nervousness calmed when you felt a hand squeeze your thigh. “There’s no way I’m returning you tonight. I love you”

SUNA

When it’s THAT time of the month, your love for sweets would truly be the death of you.

There was something about the candies and any sugary snacks that calmed the raging hormones you had going right now and it made you feel a little fuzzy lol.

Once you felt your craving kick in, you wasted no time and stalked to the nearest convenience store to get some jelly fruit sticks.

Your eyes flicked through the isles, scanning for the familiar packaging with animated fruits on the cover. You beamed at the sight of it, trudging to it’s direction.

However, your short stature made it impossible to reach. Thankfully a boy about your age came by and got the sticks. “Thank you!” you said turning to him and putting your hands in front of you, ready to receive the packet.

“Thank you for what?” He side-eyed you and scoffed. “For reach-“ you cut yourself off, seeing the man turning his back on you and leaving your jelly sticks.

“BITCH THAT WAS MINE!” you yelled as you huffed at him.

He didn’t even give you a second glance and instead, flipped you off. “ASSHOLE!”

KUROO

Every year, you and Kuroo would be together in time for the first snowfall but right now, he was away for a business trip, leaving you alone for the holidays.

You didn’t like it but of course, you had no control and so did Kuroo. You were on the phone with Kuroo as you notice the falling of white outside the window.

You grabbed one of Kuroo’s hoodies and head to the balcony of your room. You propped your elbows up, as the winter breeze kiss your skin.

“Wish you were here, Tetsu.” you feel your eyes gloss over, letting out a sigh.

“I’m here, princess.” your heart stopped when you heard a familiar voice whisper to your ear.

You turned around to see your husband standing behind you as he snaked his arms around your waist and pulling you closer to his chest. “Wouldn’t miss this for the world, I love you.”

Onii-Chan!! - The Lost Kid

Part 1 | Next

Masterlist

Pairing: Portgas D. Ace x Reader (ft. Baby Brother! Luffy)

Summary:  Ace's new next-door neighbour is odd. She may be the same age as him but she has an annoying little kid brother who gets attached easily

          Ace often leaves his apartment door unlocked, he doesn’t do it on purpose but he is forgetful. Dadan, the landlord always said that he is too careless and he is risking being broken in but Ace doesn’t care. At least he didn’t because no one has dared to enter his home but today, he was starting to regret his forgetfulness. A little boy, no older than 6 has wandered into his apartment.

         “Ittekimasu!” the boy shouted as he closed the front door and locked it.

         Ace who was lying lazily on the sofa sat up to look at him.

       “Don’t you mean ‘tadaima’?”, Ace asks the curious boy who is entering his house

      “I got it wrong again,” the boy said sheepishly while removing his shoes. He carefully placed them on the shoe rack and walks into the house. That was when he finally lifted up his head and saw Ace who was now standing in front of him.

     “Ehhhh you’re not (Name) nee-chan!”, the boy shouted in horror.

     “You realized just now?” Ace remarked, “What are you doing here brat?” Ace squatted down to be eye level with the kid.

     “Stranger danger!”, the little boy shouted before slapping Ace and running to the door. He attempted to open it but the door was locked so he could not open it, “Who are you? What did you do to (Name) nee-chan? Are you trying to kidnap me? Let me out!,” the boy shouted at Ace while banging on the door. He started to cry and his words slurred and became incomprehensible.

     “Oi! Why did you slap me brat?”, Ace said furiously to the boy who’s eyes turned into waterfalls. Ace looked at the kid and decided to humour him, “I won’t let you leave my house, I’m gonna eat you!” he said while walking towards him.

     The boy continued to back into the corner, “Go Away! Help! I don’t taste good” , he cried desperately until Ace finally approached him.

      Ace gave him a light chop to the head before bending down, “Don’t slap me again, brat. Who are you?”

      A small bump formed on the boy’s head and he rubbed it with both hands . It turned out that Ace’s “light chop” was still pretty painful for the normal people. The boy was no longer crying as loudly as before but he still had irregular breaths and was having a hard time articulating his speech . He grimaced,

       “(Name) nee-chan, huff , said to not, huff, talk to, huff, strangers,” he said while panting every few words and he finished by sticking his tongue out at Ace.

          “I’m Ace. Portgas D. Ace. Now that you know my name, we’re not strangers anymore,” Ace said to him.

         The boy looked at him confused, then he paused and thought for a moment, before finally smiling, “Shishishi, you’re right. Then I’m Luffy.”

        ‘So quick!’ Ace thought to himself when the kid went from acting hostile to being friendly in a split second.

         “Ass nii-chan,” Luffy said while hugging his stomach, “I’m hungry!” With that, Luffy collapses into a sitting position, leaning on be wall and a loud stomach grumble ripped through the air.

——-

    “Ass nii-chan, this taste delicious!”, Luffy exclaimed while trying to rip off a piece of ham with his teeth.

     “Baka, it’s Ace, not Ass,” Ace corrected Luffy for maybe the fiftieth time. In the last half an hour, he has started to grasp a general understanding of the situation. Luffy was left here by his “Gramps” who apparently couldn’t be bothered to bring Luffy to his apartment door and instead, told the 5 year old kid to find his “(Name) nee-chan’s“ apartment himself and he got lost and ended up in Ace’s apartment. Ace sighed, it’s a pretty big apartment and he doesn’t know anyone named (Name) here. He’ll have to pay the landlord a visit which will be a pain in the ass.

     “Ass nii-chan,” Luffy started again but was interrupted by Ace.

      “Do you want me to hit you again ?” Ace asked while raising his hands threateningly.

      “Wahhh, don’t chop me again As—-I mean Aith—Ahssuu—-Ahth—Aissuu,” Luffy said, struggling to pronounce Ace’s name.

      “Never mind, just call me Onii-san,” Ace told the boy.

      “Okie-dokie Onii-chan! More food!”, Luffy commanded to Ace.

Ittekimasu - I’m leaving

Tadaima - I’m home

Chapter 4

CH. 1 | CH. 2 | CH. 3| Read all chapters: Ao3 / FFN

Naruto walked into his apartment, shut the door behind him, and didn’t say a word when he saw Konohamaru on his couch watching some television show. He threw the boxed cake onto his counter and went straight to bed, willing himself to replay the moment over and over in his head.

“Baka,” he said as he imagined Hinata’s perfect pink tongue against his fingertip. He grimaced, physically feeling as if he had been sucker-punched.

“Nii-chan?” Konohamaru said as he approached Naruto’s bedside. “I know you said I’m not allowed to come over when you’re not home, but you know how it is with my parents. I just wanted—”

Konohamru was going to continue, that is until he realized that Naruto looked pained—extremely pained.

“Nii-chan...are you okay? I thought you were going to be out late with Hinata.”

At the mention of her name, Naruto sucked in a breath and turned on his side, away from his protegee.

Putting two and two together Konohamaru’s worried expression quickly turned into one of mischievous glee, “Something happened, didn’t it?”

Naruto grunted in response, which only served to encourage Konohamaru’s imagination.

“I knew it! I knew it!” He said excitedly, grabbing onto Naruto’s side. He attempted to turn him back over to face him, but Naruto refused.

“You have to tell me, come on, you have to tell me what happened!”

“I...She...” Naruto sounded as if the wind had been knocked out of him, he truly could not articulate what had happened. He didn’t know how to explain it. It was so very innocent, but at the same time so incredibly intimate. His imagination began running away with him the moment her eyes met his, in that split second of panic when he realized what he had done and she had given into a capricious whim. He was sure he wouldn’t be able to think of anything but her tonight.

“Nii-chan, that isn’t an answer” Konohamaru pouted.

Naruto turned to face him and patted the space next to him. Konohamaru obliged him and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Look, you’re just too young right now for me to explain...”

Konohamaru rolled his eyes, “I know about that. I’m thirteen, not three.”

Naruto narrowed his eyes, “That’s not what I was talking about.”

“Then what, were you going to say, love?” Konohamaru said, clasping his hands together raising them to the side of his face in an exaggerated motion.

“Okay, get out.”

“No, come on! I want to know what happened!”

“Nothing.”

“You’re going to tell me you’re acting this way because absolutely nothing happened?”

“Look, squirt,” Naruto said sitting up and crossing his legs upon the bed. He faced Konohamaru and clasped his shoulder firmly, “Before this morning, I didn’t realize that Hinata had...um...that she...”

“Loves you.”

“Woah! Come on now. We don’t know that.”

A deadpan look was etched upon Konahamru’s face, “Right.”

“We can’t assume that. I was going to say that...she had...feelings? For me?”

“Acceptance is the first step, nii-chan.”

“I’m trying to be serious here, kid. Cut me some slack.”

“Alright, alright.” Naruto took a breath and ran a hand through his extremely short blonde hair, trying to compose his thoughts before opening his mouth once more.

“Look, before today I never really opened my eyes to this kind of thing. I used to be so focused on training that...”

“Girls didn’t even exist.”

“Yeah!”

“Except for Sakura onee-san”

“Hey now! I had a little crush on her, that was it. We’re more like brother and sister at this point.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Konohamaru said, waving him off.

“Anyways,” Naruto continued, “I don’t know. I just...something kind of just clicked today. But I feel like such a shitty guy because the reason it clicked was because-” He stopped abruptly, realizing who he was talking to.

“Oh come on, you can’t stop now! Why did it click!?”

“When you’re older-”

“Don’t give me that! When I’m older you’ll still be five years older than me and can use that excuse. I’m not buying it, tell me!”

Naruto sighed, but continued, “Okay, okay. I um...Well...Hinata brought me a piece of cake from Hanabi’s birthday. And, well, it had strawberries on it. I know she really likes them so I picked one off of the slice and offered it to her with my hand.”

“Alright.”

“Well, she took it.”

“And then you guys made out?”

“No!!! That’s it, that’s the story!”

“You’re telling me what did it for you was her eating out of your hand? You’re shitting me right?”

“Hey! Language!”

Konohamaru shook his head, “Don’t change the subject!”

“I’m not.”

“Well, then, continue!”

“Jeez, you’re something else, kid.”

“I don’t have all night...”

Naruto groaned in frustration, tempted to evict Konohamaru from his bed and his apartment. “Look, I don’t know how to explain to you Konohamaru because it’s just one of those things you have to feel. You think i’m insane for saying this is the exact moment I realized it, but I’m telling you, one day you’re going to go through the exact same thing and you’re not going to think I’m so crazy then.”

Konohamaru huffed as he rested his chin on the top of his knuckle, “So what did it for you? Her licking your fingers or something?”

Naruto turned as red as the crest upon his back and Konohamaru cracked up immediately, “Oh, nii-chan! You can’t be serious! Hinata...she..” One glance at Naruto’s face and he had his answer. “Shit, nii-chan, that’s pretty kinky.”

“Alright, that’s it. Out!” Naruto said, pushing Konohamaru off of his bed. The boy landed with a thud on the wooden floor.

“Hey, I’m not judging what you’re into. I just think it’s funny that she almost gave up her life for you, but it was this that made you realize you both definitely have a thing for each other.”

“Get out,” Naruto said firmly.

“I think it’s nice it’s finally all out in the open.”

Naruto got up and started throwing Konohamaru’s things into his knapsack.

“But really, hey, who would’ve thought that Hinata...you know.”

Naruto turned around sharply, “What?”

“She just...didn’t seem like the type.”

“Type?”

Konohamaru laughed, “Nii-chan, she’s been in love with you forever but never really made a move. I didn’t think that straight out the gate she’d come out and suck your fingers.”

Naruto’s face turned a deep shade of red, “She—she didn’t—she didn’t do that! It was an accident!”

“Now it was an accident, sure, boss.”

“I’m not asking you to leave again.”

Konohamaru sighed and grabbed his backpack off the floor before turning towards the door. He was about to start moving towards it, but instead turned to look at Naruto once more, “Don’t mess this up, nii-chan. She gave you the green light officially. What you do from here is probably your last chance to bag her.”

“You are such a little weasel, you really talk about girls that way?”

“What way!? I didn’t say sleep with her! I meant—” But Konohamaru didn’t get to finish his thought because Naruto opened the door, pushed him through it, and shut it abruptly behind him.

“Goodnight,” Naruto said through the door.

“Don’t mess it up, Nii-chan!”

Hinata paced the length of her bedroom countless times, trying to convince herself that what had happened was an accident. But at this point, she just wasn’t sure anymore.

“Hinata!” She heard Hanabi call from the hallway, “Phone call for you!”

She ran, barefooted, out into the corridor and almost slammed straight into her younger sister, “Woah! Where’s the fire? It’s just Sakura. Were you expecting someone else? Hanabi asked a smirk etched upon her face.

Hinata wordlessly grabbed the phone from Hanabi’s grasp with a furrowed brow and ran back into the safety of her room.

“Sakura?”

“Hinata-chan! I meant to call earlier, but I just got home.”

“Oh, that’s alright. I wasn’t expecting a call from you, was I?”

“No, no! I just had something to tell you about Naruto.”

Hinata’s pulse became unsteady once more and she nervously blurted out, “It was an accident! You have to tell him I didn’t mean it!”

“What!? What was an accident?”

“He...he didn’t tell you what happened today?”

“Something happened!?”

“I-I...what were you going to say?”

Hinata could hear Sakura slamming something down on her end and involuntarily flinched as her friend yelled, “Hinata what happened!?”

Hot tears of shame began welling up in the back of her eyes, she didn’t want to tell Sakura, but she knew that at this point it would be better to get some advice from someone who wasn’t directly involved.

She shakily replayed the events from earlier in detail to her friend, and stuttered as she admitted, “I want to think it was an accident, but...it just...it felt...right?”

Sakura giggled, “I can only imagine the idiot’s reaction.”

Hinata smiled, “Yes, it was...it was something.”

“Hinata?”

“Yes?”

“I know that you’re over-analyzing everything, as you always do, but can I say something.”

“Mhmm.”

“You probably gave Naruto the 5 most exciting seconds of his life so far.”

The two kunoichis burst out laughing, Hinata was thankful that Sakura had called and managed to quell her fears in one breath.

“So...so you don’t think I scared him off?”

“There’s no way!” Sakura exclaimed, “If anything, I think you solidified what he ran over to tell Sasuke this afternoon.”

Hinata flushed, “What—what did he tell Sasuke-Kun?”

“I really think you two should talk.”

“Sakura-chan, please?” Hinata pleaded.

“Hinata, trust me on this one, go talk to Naruto. For real this time.”

“O—okay.”

“Alright, have a good night then! We’ll chat tomorrow. I’ll stop by with some tea.”

Hinata sighed, “Alright Sakura. Have a good night.”

She laid back upon her bed, the phone still in hand, as she pondered calling Naruto. But she talked herself out of it, knowing she had had her fill of embarrassment for one day. She would just stop by tomorrow morning before he started training for the day.

Until then, with flushed cheeks and star-filled eyes, a conflicted Hinata would replay the feel of him upon her tongue.

if there was ever an anime about Batman or the Batfamily, how do you think Bruce and his children would refer to each other in Japanese honorifics?

Well there was that “anime” movie they made, but it was in 3D and aimed at kids. I didn’t watch it, so I don’t know what honorifics they used there (I do know that Alfred said Bruce-sama tho)

Honestly as a both a Batman fan and a fan of anime that would be a dream comes true, but if that happened I would like it if they actually took it seriously, Batman: Ninja was more like a parody than a real anime. If that happened I personally would like for Bones Studio (who did FMA:B, BNHA and Noragami) or maybe even Wit Studio who did Attack on Titan (the way they animated the characters using their gear would be perfect to how for the Batfamily and their grappling-guns) to do the adaptation.

Okay I got distracted, now I don’t speak Japanese, so all the knowledge I have about Japanese honorifics is from watching anime and visiting a few language sites, so if you feel I’m being ignorant or disrespectful please tell me so.

With that being said, I would like to think that when they were first adopted by him, the Batkids all called him Wayne-san at the beginning, but then he insisted that they all can call him Otou-san if they want or just by his first name if they weren’t comfortable enough. The only people who call him by something else are Alfred who calls him Bruce-sama, Jason who calls him Oyaji (old man) and Damian who calls him Otou-sama (which makes Bruce uncomfortable, but he can’t make him stop).

Alfred would use the honorific -Sama when speaking with anyone in the family, except when he’s mad at them, then the cursing starts. Meanwhile everyone just calls him Alfred or Alfred-san.

As the oldest child, Dick probably tried to make all of his younger siblings call him a cutesy name like Onii-chan, that didn’t fly well with Jason who just calls him Aniki instead or Tim and Cassandra who settled on a simple Nii-san. Damian recently went from Grayson to Richard, so there’s progress, but we still have a long way to go with him.

Jason on the other hand just refers to every Batkid younger than him as gaki (brat) and they return the love by just calling him Jason without honorifics. Damian calls him baka-Todd tho.

Tim and Cassandra also call each other (and Damian) by their first name without honorifics, Damian does the same with Cassandra, but when he talks to Tim he only uses kisama or teme (get it? teme? Tim?)

And lastly everyone in the family (except Bruce and Alfred) refer to Damian as Damian-Chan, some of it is out of love, but for the most part they do this because they all know he absolutely hates it.

Back to Where I Started/Reincarnation AU 2

I’m glad so far people seem to like this concept of Aiko/Katarina being sent back to her previous life. Now let the shenanigans ensue.

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything.

---------------

It was a week after Aiko’s hospital stay, and she could say things were back to normal for the most part. Her family and Acchan liked to hover over her more, and sadly, she could not play Fortune Lover anymore due to getting massive headaches, but things were okay, and that was fine with Aiko. Things were normal. Things were peaceful.

Yet, it felt all wrong.

“Are you sure you don’t need us to walk you to school?” her second older brother, Jiro, asked. Aiko gave a frustrated sigh.

“No, Nii-san! You and Kaito nii-san will be late and get in trouble! I’m fine!”

“I can be late for work, Saru-baka.” Kaito argued, but Aiko wasn’t having it. For some reason, the hovering felt familiar, but she knew it wasn’t from her brothers.

“Just be careful, Saru-chan.” Her father, Akio, told her. “Please text us when you get to school.”

“I promise!” Aiko grinned. “Now bye bye!” with that, she was out the door and heading towards the school.

She was careful at all crossways, paranoid she would repeat what happened before. For some reason, she was deathly afraid of trucks now. She didn’t know why. The truck didn’t hit her, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling of being impacted by a truck. It terrified her. So, she needed to be careful.

However, as she was at the closest crosswalk to school, that’s when she smelled it. The most delicious, mouth-watering scent she’s ever smelled. It was so familiar that she couldn’t resist turning her head.

And was met with eyes as blue as the sky.

“Hello there.” It was a beautiful girl dressed in the same uniform as her with short blonde hair. Aiko felt her heart nearly burst out of her chest from the girl’s pure aura.

‘Holy crap! She looks just like Maria from Fortune Lover! I have been blessed!’

“H-Hello!” Aiko greeted, shocked the blonde was talking to her. Suddenly, her stomach growled and Aiko looked embarrassed. “Erm… I’m sorry. When I saw you, I suddenly became hungry…”

The blonde-haired girl giggled, looking absolutely joyful at her words.

“Well then, have this.” The blonde girl handed her a bag. Aiko took it shyly. “I made them for my new classmates, but I want you to have them.”

“R-Really?! You’re just giving all of these to me?!” Aiko was shocked. She wasn’t used to anyone really talking to her, much less giving her stuff when just meeting her. She gazed at the blonde girl like she was an angel. “Thank you! I will devour them with my black hole stomach in no time!” This made the beautiful girl laugh and smile brightly.

“You never change, do you?” she said. Aiko blinked, confused. The girl smiled in adoration. “I’m glad. The crosswalk’s changed though. You might want to hurry.”

“Ah! You’re right! Do you go to my school? Let’s go together!” for some reason, the more she was around this girl, the more her head was aching, but she would ignore it. This girl was nice and gave her sweets!

“I’m waiting for some people, I’m afraid. You go on ahead.” The girl declined. Aiko gave a sad expression, but nodding in understanding, before smiling.

“Maybe I’ll see you around! Bye!” Aiko waved farewell and hurriedly made her way to the school. The blonde girl watched her go with a fond look. It wasn’t long before a limo stopped by the curbside, with the door opening, showing equally as beautiful occupants as the girl.

“Maria, you were supposed to wait for us to all leave together.” Gerald lectured. The blonde, Maria, gave a smile.

“I’m sorry, Prince Gerald. I couldn’t resist walking.” She said, climbing in the limo. Gerald signaled the driver and they were off towards the school Aiko was running to. “This world is so much different than ours! I wanted to see the sights.”

“Hey, where’s your baked goods? We were going to use those to find Lady Katarina!” Mary chimed in, looking panicked. “Gah! We’ll never find her now!”

“Oh, I think we’re fine.” Maria smiled mysteriously. Perhaps Raphael was rubbing off on her, after all.

“You saw her.” Nicol voiced out, not accusatory, just as a matter of fact.

“Ehhhhhhh? You saw Lady Katarina before us?! Cheater!” Mary pointed at Maria.

“Very sneaky, Maria. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you went out looking for her on purpose.” Gerald smiled, but underneath you could feel his irritation.

“I don’t know what you mean, Prince Gerald.” Maria met his smile with an innocent one. Yes, Raphael was definitely rubbing off on her.

“How was she?” Sophia was quick to ask about Katarina’s well-being.

“She’s Lady Katarina, of course.” Maria smiled happily. “No matter what world or what life, she’s our Lady Katarina.”

“Did she remember you?” Alan was anxious to ask. He was desperate to know, much like the others. Here, Maria look saddened.

“No, unfortunately she didn’t recognize me.” Everyone then appeared saddened by that news.

“No… Lady Katarina…” Sophia murmured in sorrow.

“Sister… we’ll have to start all over with her.” Keith said, equally as melancholy.

“You won’t be able to call her that anymore.” Gerald spoke. “In this world, we’re strangers to her. Be grateful we were given even this.”

The rest of the limo ride was carried in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

----------------------

Sneaky Maria! And we got to see everyone! Hope you guys liked this. Hopefully I don’t get tired again so I can keep up with this.

[amoura-eternia]

Souji and Chizuru get set up on a date. Blind Date AU. Modern AU. Okichi.

"Come on, Souji. At least give it a shot. If you don't like it, we'll never set you up on another date again."

Souji sighed. "Fine." He had known from the start he was likely going to give in, it was a request from Kondou after all, but that hadn't stopped him from protesting. "I'll do it." But he doubted he was going to like it, not that he was going to say anything to Kondou. Souji wondered who or what had given him the idea, and how he knew the girl he had set him up with. Souji had never heard the name 'Chizuru Yukimura' before, so whoever it was, it couldn't be someone Kondou knew all that well. An acquaintence? A friend of a friend? He supposed it didn't really matter in the end. Either way he would have to go on a date with her.

-------------

The date was set up in a cafe. Souji sighed, that would mean he'd have to talk to her. Why couldn't it have been the Cinema? He walked towards the cafe and spotted her before he had even entered. He had been shown a picture of her so she'd be easy to find, he assumed she was also shown a picture of him but he had no proof of that. She was standing outside, arguing with who was likely her brother.

"It'll be fine, really. I may not know the guy but I do know people who do. Ibuki-kun, Harada-san, Nagakura-san and Heisuke-kun all know him really well. He's not dangerous." Ah, that answered the question of how Kondou had gotten the idea, it almost certainly came from one or all of the Baka Trio. He doubted Ibuki would pull something like this after all, at least not without getting dragged along. It sounded like she didn't know Kondou personally, if she had she would have mentioned him, though she likely knew the name and had possibly even talked to him at some point for this whole thing to be set up.

"They're dangerous too! You absolutely can't trust them!" Her brother had exclaimed in response. Had he followed her all the way here trying to convince her not to come? Judging from the sigh that left her, she had likely heard this all before.

"What about Shizu-chan and Osen-chan then? They know him too and they didn't say I shouldn't." Chizuru tried again to calm her brother. That surprised him a little, he did know Shizu and Sen, but they didn't exactly like him. It was surprising to hear they'd approved. He would have expected them to convince her otherwise but it didn't sound like they had. Then again they likely recognised that it was her decision to make in the end and didn't interfere. They probably had, however, told her how much they didn't like him.

"They didn't seem pleased to me. They said themselves they don't like him." Ah, indeed they had. "Besides I don't exactly trust them either."

"Kaoru, you don't trust anyone. They may have expressed dislike for him but if they thought I would be in any danger, they would have said so. You might not trust them but I do." Chizuru's exppression turned stern. Even so she did not seem angry, she had a lot of patience and he supposed that was a good thing. She was going to need a lot of that, if she was going to be dealing with him, he knew that well. He didn't mind this girl, still wasn't interested in dating her of course, but he supposed she might end up being fun to hang out with. "I trust my friends, all of them, and they wouldn't allow me to come to any harm if they could help it."

Chizuru's expression softened once more. "I know you're worried about me but I promise everything will be just fine." She grabbed her brother's hand and smiled. "I'll call you afterwards, alright. And you can stay nearby if it'll make you feel better."

There was silence for a moment as her brother thought. "...Fine." He aquiesed and turned around.

Chziuru's smile widened. "Nii-san, thank you."

"Just be careful."

Chizuru nodded her head. "I will." Kaoru walked away.

Souji waited until he was out of sight to approach her. "Hey, you're Chizuru-chan, right?"

"Huh?" She whirled around in surprise and stared at him for a moment. "Yes, that's me. You must be Okita-san. It's nice to meet you." Chizuru looked away for a moment, in the direction her brother had left, he noticed. "Did you, uh, see all that?"

"Yeah, it was a little hard not to notice, you know."

She sighed and gave an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, this is a bit of an awkward start, isn't it?"

"At least it's not boring." He shrugged, he was thankful for it honestly.

She blinked and a laugh escaped her lips. "I guess that's true."

"Alright, first things first." His expression turned serious and hers followed suit. "I'm not interested in dating you, so don't get any ideas."

To his surprise she released a breath of relief upon hearing that. "Oh that's good, I'm not particularly interested in dating a stranger either."

"If you weren't interested then why did you agree to this." Of course he did too but he didn't see why she would.

"Ah, well Osen-chan and Shizu-chan have been trying to get me to go on a date for a while now. So it was partially for them." Partially? Which meant there was more to it then that. "But I also agreed because I just couldn't bring myself to turn down the man on the phone."

"...Kondou-san?" Souji guessed, he'd figured Kondou would have at least talked to the girl, and since Chizuru didn't seem familiar with 'the man on the phone' he figured Kondou was the most likely possibility.

She nodded. "Yes, he sounded so hopeful, I just couldn't turn him down." She told him before she turned the question on him. "I could ask the same of you though, why did you agree if you aren't interested?"

"Ah, well I suppose it's only fair if I tell you." He really should have seen this coming. "Kondou-san asked me so I agreed to try at least this once."

"I see. You must be very close then." Souji nodded but said no more, he wasn't about to share too much with this stranger after all. She seemed to pick up that he wasn't going to say anymore as she gestured towards the cafe. "Should we go inside then? And actually do what we came here for."

"Date?"

She shook her head. "No eat. That is what a cafe is for, isn't it? Well that and drinking."

"True." Souji smiled, he was getting along with this girl. If this continued to go as well as it was, he'd have to hang out with her some other time.

----------------

"Souji, How did it go?" Kondou called him shortly after he returned home to ask him about the date.

"It wasn't terrible, I liked her. But I don't want to date her, I'm not interested in dating strangers." Souji replied, Kondou hummed on the other side of the call.

"I see. At least you had fun. Thank you for trying this, Souji." Kondou thanked him, Souji smiled. "Will you see her again, as a friend?"

"Probably. I considered it enough to get her number, at least." He was grateful now, that the date wasn't located somewhere they wouldn't talk to each other. He definitely wouldn't be interested in seeing her again if that had been the case.

"That's great. I only talked to her briefly but she seemed like a great girl. She'd be good to have as a friend or otherwise, Souji."

Souji gave a short laugh. "Just don't hold out too much hope on that 'otherwise', Kondou-san."

-------------------

When they ended up dating, he didn't miss the irony of those words back then. Neither did Kondou. "Well, looks that otherwise ended up happening, didn't it?" Kondou laughed as he teased him.

"Well, I didn't say it wouldn't happen." Souji rebuked, giving a laugh of his own.

"No, but you did imply you didn't think it would."

"At the time I really didn't. But as I spent more time with her, I found myself rethinking that. I found myself really wanting to be with her in a way I didn't think I ever would back then." The joking tone dropped as Souji talked. "Thank you, Kondou-san. If it wasn't for you, I never would have met her." Of course he recognised there were others behind that blind date, he was a little more reluctant to thank them, but he knew he really should.

"It was no problem. I'm glad you're happy Souji, Yukimura-san as well, of course. Make sure to thank the others, alright?"

[giyuu-no-tsuma]

Heeeeeey, since you are manga caught up and you have read the ending, how about, Sumihiko and co time-travel to the Taisho era and meet their ancestors?? How interesting would that be, and Touko would recognize they all existed! (Also Kanata x Touko is cute, screw the sick minded people saying it's incest)

Ahhhh, what a awesome and interesting ask! Well, I don’t really argue with close-minded people about something, so if they still want to be stubborn and still want to think it’s incest, best thing is to leave them be, because we know it’s not incest and Gotouge already explained it, their fault they’re stubborn not anyone else’s. 

Anyways to the ask! Without an illustration since there aren’t GIF’s or pictures:

PS: Time-travel doesn’t seem realistic to me, so excuse me if I took it into my comfort zone, I had a better idea for it!

Sumihiko and his brother were having a sleepover over the Agatsuma’s, Kanata mostly by Touko’s side, holding her hand and both smiling to one another. Sumihiko and Yoshiteru talking about anything really.

Their conversation went on, until Sumihiko brought up the story of their ancestors and how they fought with the demons and the Demon King.

Touko listened to their conversation and rolled her eyes, stating that it was just fiction, that their great-grandpa was just someone with big imagination. Upong which Yoshiteru argued her statement, earning a harsh pull on the ear.

“What if they actually existed and fought against them? Can you prove it’s fiction?”

At Sumihiko’s answer, Touko had much hesitation, she herself didn’t have any proof to her statement. So she just said she didn’t.

“What if we time-travel?”

*Of course Yoshiteru was greeted by his oldest sister’s scolding and ear pulling.

“You dummy! Time-travel doesn’t even exist! Why is it that you’re like this always! Was great-grandpa Zenitsu like this?!”

“Of course time-travel is impossible... But if they existed, then surely some memory or something may be there.” Kanata tried to reason and calm Touko down, so she could stop pulling on poor Yoshiteru’s ear, which was pretty swollen and red.

Touko stopped doing what she’s doing, smiling and giving the reason to Kanata. That boy surely made her relax a little.

“Well, great-grandpa Tanjirou fought with this katana right?” It was when Sumihiko pulled out the katana they kept as memory.

Kanata wasn’t that happy his younger brother took the memorial katana without asking.

“Sumihiko, you shouldn’t have taken it. It’s a memorial.”

“I know, I know, but I’m curious about great-grandpa and his adventures with the demon slaying job! How he and great-great-great Aunt Nezuko had it. We know the story of our three-times great uncles and aunt dying and our three-times great aunt turned into a demon, how they went throught it, so many things I want to know!”

Sumihiko’s enthusiasm was evident, and it all started to get Touko more interested in the topic. Well if they really did existed, then maybe there is something somewhere to know about them.

The four talked about the topic until pretty late, and called it a night, everyone sleeping in futons in the living room. Soon, they all started to dream. It was a shared dream. In the dream, Sumihiko woke by started, he was in a different house, didn’t seem to be Touko and Yoshiteru’s. It all looked pretty ancient, like the Taisho era.

“Eh? Where are we?” The boy looked around, and felt pretty out of place and worked out, he noticed his brother was sleeping next to him and shook him lightly. “Kanata, Kanata! Nii-san wake! We’re not in home!”

Kanata groaned and slowly opened his eyes. “Sumihiko? What are you saying-” He was quick to sit up, his brother was right, that wasn’t  home. He quickly turned to Touko sleeping by his other side and shook her. “Touko? Touko-chan, wake up, something’s up.

Touko was quick to be up and smacked her brother awake. “Wake you you dummy!”

Yoshiteru yelped and scrambled to his feet. “Wha, nani nani?!”

“We’re not home, where is here?!” Touko was becoming pretty agitated, when Kanata held her hand and she calmed almost immediately.

“Don’t worry Touko-chan, if you’re here with me, then nothing can happen to you.” He reassured her softly.

It was night in that strange place. Soon they heard some voices, turning looking in awe.

“Tanjirou! Where are we going?!” A blond with the same appearance as Yoshiteru but save from the blond to orange hair.

Then the called boy stood there, it was Tanjirou, Kanata and Sumihiko’s great-grandfather, very alike with Sumihiko, save from the earrings and the scar.

“Great-grandpa Zenitsu...” Touko whispered

“And great-grandpa Tanjirou...” Sumihiko echoed.

“It was real after all...” Touko was no convinced and Yoshiteru took advantage of it.

“I was right all this time, not Nee-san?”

“Urusai, baka!” Touko kicked him in the side, she had such a temper, once again she found herself being held by the hand by Kanata and she calmed.

“I wonder why my sister is such a hooligan...” Yoshiteru grumbled, but then quickly shut up at the glare said sister shot him.

Soon it came the time where Nezuko pulled out of the box and stood next to her brother. Many similarities with Touko. The other girl at seeing her three times-great aunt, she got a real shock, she was demon. All the stories told by their other family members were right and the diary her great-grandpa wrote also was right, she could tell that this was a time where they still were not close to defeat the threat that was Muzan.

“Woah, that kid Giichi’s ancestor” Sumihiko commented, meaning Giyuu who was with the trio, same hair but longer, same deep blue eyes and face shape. Giichi was an elementary kid he often ran into when he was in a hurry to his school, he was watching the ancestor of that kid.

Suddenly Yoshiteru had parted from the group and it was only by Touko who freaked out.

“Ah, where did that idiot go?! Yoshiteru!!” She barked, searching around, they were in an unknown territory but that kid really had to disappear just like that?

Kanata put an arm around her. “Don’t worry Tou-chan, we’ll find him, that’s for sure,” Though he really was in the same with his girlfriend of wanting to smack that kid good.

Yoshiteru had adventured himself a little in the dense forest, wanting to see a demon or see if one would come. He was curious. And his urges to do so came when out of nowhere one jumped at him. The boy screeched. “GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

“Oh no that idiot got into trouble!” Touko ran where she heard her brother’s scream, going along with Kanata and Sumihiko. When they got there, they froze seeing it was a demon.

Soon a voice was heard. “Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel!”

The demon’s head was sliced off, and Yoshiteru turned to look at his savior, Tanjirou stood there, going over to see if the boy was okay.

“Are you okay?”

“Yoshiteru!!” Touko ran over and immediately smached her brother upside the head. “Baka! Only you would think on getting lost and into trouble in unknown territory, you idiot!” She smacked him again, having half the mind to just smack his tush for that, but restrained herself.

“I-I’m sorry Onee-san...I was scared!” he immediately started screeching with tears, but this time his sister sighed and hugged him. She turned to look at Tanjirou... her three-times-great uncle...

Tanjirou blinked. “H-hey, you kid... you look like Zenitsu..” He stared at Yoshiteru then to Touko. “You like Nezuko...” And then was Kanata. “And you like Kanao....” what got him into a freeze was Sumihiko who looked like him, saved from the earrings and the scar.

“Tanjirou, what’s wrong?” Giyuu soon joined and so did Zenitsu and Inosuke.

The four kids from many, many, many years later where stared at like they were aliens.

“G-great-grandpa...” Sumihiko started.

“Great-grandpa?” Tanjirou blinked, was this some sort of dream? Was he asleep and dreaming that he had a great-grandson? Where were his kids and grandkids then? If this kid was his great-grand son? He didn’t understand.

After a big explanation, Tanjirou understood, in the future he was to marry Kanao, have kids and grandkids, these two Sumihiko and Kanata were his last generations, therefore in the time where these kids were from, he and the others were likely dead.

“This is unbelievable but, here you are.” 

“You were awesome, great-grandpa, really awesome!” Sumihiko exclaimed happily. “You fought with everything and the others too. I’m glad I was able to meet you, something that I thought impossible.”

Soon, back to the current time, the four were starting to wake.

“Uh what?” Sumihiko looked around, they were back at the Agatsuma’s home, so all that was just a dream?

Kanata rubbed his eyes and looked around, unsure of what just happened a while back.

Touko yawned and blinked. “A dream?”

Yoshiteru was simply sleeping soundly still.

“That dream felt very real.” Kanata commented. “So it might’ve been a clue to the mystery of our ancestors.

“Still awesome we got to talk to them even if a dream, that’s checked outta the bucket list!” Sumihiko chirped.

Touko smiled. “Great-grandpa Zenitsu, simply like Yoshiteru, a cowardly yet heroic and strong man. Not that Yoshiteru is that, but our great-grandpa was.”

“Now we now they existed, the heroes.”

From now on the ancestors were remembered as existent and so the demons, even honored. The dream was actually a real thing.
