My Saviour: Part 1

Warnings: mentions of emotionally abusive parents, depressive thoughts, angst with comfort, fluff

Kamisato Ayato x female reader

First Ayato series! But you can read each part individually too. This will also be pretty long and set the background of the story a little, so I hope you Enjoy!:)

“It’s over Ayaka, my life, my freedom, my happiness…it’s all going to end..”

You were a member of the Hiragi clan, And Chisato’s cousin. An only child to your parents, you had been locked away inside your house and this wretched island of Ritou for as long as you could remember. Your parents never treated you like their daughter, rather you were a burden for them and they made sure to tell you that every single day. You had just turned 23 yesterday, and your parents were adamant on getting you married off to some rich noble, regardless of your wishes.

“We want the burden of your existence off our chests” your father had said, looking at you as if you were the worst thing to ever happen to them, which was indeed true. Your parents hated you for after your birth, your mother faced complications which rendered her infertile. They blamed you for it, calling you a devil child who stole the chance of them ever having a male heir. So, they decided to get rid of you once and for all by marrying you off to some other noble.

People barely knew about your existence, for you had never had the opportunity of leaving Ritou. You were absolutely beautiful, each feature so delicate yet perfectly sculpted. You had been raised to be a proper lady, having perfect etiquette in all the matters such as speech, tea ceremony, playing a musical instrument and everything else a noble lady should know. You had met Ayaka 5 years ago when she had travelled to Ritou, and you had looked after her because she was young and could get lost. That’s how you two became best friends.

She told you everything about her life, about her clan and her brother. You knew the Yashiro Commissioner only by his name and by his reputation of being extremely reliable, kind and hardworking. However you got to know a lot more about him through Ayaka, who loved her brother more than anything and would talk about him endlessly for hours. You felt happy that she had a brother like him, for she was so precious and kind to everyone.

Just when you had thought your life couldn’t get any worse, your parents had declared that they’d be putting up notices of your availability in marriage by tomorrow, and that you’d have no choice but to marry. All the noble men you were aware of were at least 10 or more years older than you, who treated women like a trophy and an heir producing machine. You knew that you were about to leave one prison for another, and you had accepted your doomed fate. You were always lonely, often crying in silence while growing up. Seeing other children with loving parents hurt you, and you often hated the fact that you were even born. What was your fault in all this? What had you done to deserve such a fate? You did not know, and you would never get the answers to these questions.

Coming back to the present moment, Ayaka had come to meet you as usual, and you broke the news of your marriage to her. She was absolutely heartbroken for two reasons. The first being that she felt so sad about the treatment you had always been getting, how you were forced into things you didn’t want, how you were trapped and locked away like a slave. The second reason being that this news was going to break her brother’s heart too.

Even though you and Ayato had never formally met or even spoken to one another, he liked you a lot. Ayaka would talk endlessly about you to him, and your gentle demeanour and kindness drew him towards you. He was absolutely enchanted by your beauty when Ayaka had shown a picture of you to him, and without even realising, he had developed feelings for you over these years, and had been searching for opportunities to travel to Ritou somehow, but his busy schedule and the recent crisis in Inazuma regarding the vision hunt decree kept him very busy.

Ayaka hugged you, promising to help you out in her heart. “Please have courage, things will be okay..Who knows, you might actually leave this prison for a palace..”

You chuckled softly, grateful for her words yet not fully believing them “No Ayaka, all the noble men are much, much older than me, controlling and orthodox…I’ll be treated as nothing but a trophy wife..you know, my parents burnt all my paintings yesterday, saying that they were..awful and a hindrance to my potential marriage because my future husband would not approve of my love for the arts..”

Ayaka felt devastated at this, because she knew that painting was the only way you could find peace and express your true self. But now your parents had burnt those too, just the way they had burnt all hope and determination from your life. She hugged you softly again, staying with you some more before she had to return to the Kamisato Estate. There was a lot she had to tell her brother.

Ayaka hurried through the streets of inazuma city to reach the Kamisato Estate; and once she reached she entered her brother’s office without knocking, being a little out of breath.

“Ayaka? What’s wrong sister? Has something happened?” Spoke a deep gentle voice, lavender eyes looking up at his dear sister with a worried gaze. She meant the world to him, and he was always willing to do anything for her.

“Brother…Y/N’s parents are forcing her into an arranged marriage! By tomorrow a list of all the noble men interested in marrying her will reach the Hiragi estate, and they’ll pick a suitor for her..”

Then quill Ayato was once holding dropped, spilling ink onto the parchment but he couldn’t care less. The only girl he was interested in and was dying to meet was about to get married? That too to a stranger? Ayato knew the noblemen of inazuma too well, they were cunning and manipulative, too proud and full of themselves. None of them deserved an angel like you. He took a moment to compose himself, then simply smiled as he reached out to get a new parchment.

“Worry not Ayaka, I will make sure nothing of that sort happens.

“What are you planning to do brother?”

Ayato smiles at her, his eyes twinkling with determination and excitement. “I will go to Ritou and seek Hiragi Y/N’s hand in marriage.”

Fanfic idea: Matoba gets deaged, experiences the healing power of the Fujiwara’s parenting kicking and screaming

Hnnng, brain just spat out the best Natsume Yujincho fic idea. I have peaked, nothing will ever top this theoretical fic. I will labor in vain for YEARS trying to squeeze out a fraction of its potential.

Context: I am a believer in Animal Transformation Fic supremacy, of course I gotta figure out how to turn SOMEBODY into a cat, and Matoba is target #1 since it’d be funny because a) he likes cats and b) he has a canonically acknowledged sweet tooth and cats can’t taste sweet. Okay. Whatever: I have an incredibly hand wavy premise about a failed magical assassination attempt and cat hair, and a somewhat shaky logic to put cat! Matoba in the Fujiwara house.

Then, I realize: what if I had the same exact plot, except Matoba got deaged instead?

*slaps roof* You can fit so much angst and exposition in here.

Things I could put in this bad boy:

+ Older Natori, teenage Matoba interaction- My take would be Matoba remembering the one (1) meeting with the kimono, and then adult Natori swooping in to save his ass after the attempted assassination. So a total role reversal, where Natori is suddenly leagues ahead of Matoba. And Matoba can’t conceptualize the fact that *he* should also have seven more years of experience, so he naturally assumes that Natori was just A Really Good Exorcist Prodigy that quickly outstripped him because he’s so much better than deaged! him. Natori is, of course, squigged the hell out about that. It is completely unnatural for him to be idolized by *Matoba.* And also why didn’t he notice all these red flags for trauma before. He is a *baby,* why did anyone let them near exorcism at that age?

+ The eye stealing yokai still sees deaged! Matoba as clan head, and attacks him at Natori’s apartment. This has a lot of political ramifications, but also a lot of emotional ramifications, since Matoba *knows* that if he’s clan head, then his father and likely several other older relatives are dead. My take on the Matoba clan head is that, due to the extreme risk and probable high turnover rate, much of the actual political power is actually somewhere else in the clan. I get the impression that Matoba is a bit of a mover and shaker- more active than this theoretical body would probably like. Whether they were involved in the assassination plot or not, they’d benefit from an even younger and less experienced clan head. So Natori is highly motivated to keep Matoba’s survival and deaging a secret until they change him back.

+ Of course Matoba is injured. This is *fanfiction,* is it not? So we have fifteen year old Matoba suddenly seven years in the future- people have just tried to kill him, the eye stealing yokai came after his eye- therefore his father is dead, he has no contacts besides Natori because of the known conspiracy to kill him and being seven years younger than everyone expects, and now he’s (temporarily) half blind and with disabling injuries. (For plot convince, just bad enough to limit mobility and require assistance but not for hospitalization or to be too difficult to explain.)

+ Because Hiragi needs to be able to drop him off at the Fujiwara’s because someone broke into Natori’s apartment and she didn’t know where else to go.

+ Natori and Natsume don’t like it, but Madara’s much stronger than most shiki or exorcists, and nobody would think to look for Matoba there. They take the gamble that the Fujiwara’s will let Natsume’s friend stay without much explanation, and they do.

+ Matoba: he’s not my friend, he just feels obligated to help. Touko: oh, so this kid is TRAUMATIZED traumatized, just on the other end of the spectrum. And possibly on the other spectrum.

+ Same age Matoba and Natsume interaction- Matoba’s inability to communicate and befriend anyone like a human being vs Natsume’s inhuman inability to not befriend everyone, fight. Natsume would feel rather conflicted about it, but ultimately decide that he can’t hold things Matoba hasn’t done yet against him. I think that Natsume would tolerate a lot of the things that drove teenage Natori away for longer, and that he’d pick up on the cues Natori missed because he never looked pass the surface. They’d get down to their core differences a lot more quickly, and I think that deaged! Matoba would concede much more quickly than later series Natsume under the circumstances. What’s he going to do, when Natsume, Natori, and the Fujiwara’s- the only people he’s interacting with, the people helping him at his most vulnerable- are all telling him the same thing?

+ Fujiwara Shigeru and Touko and teenage Matoba: I have absolutely no doubt that they read every book on the psychology of troubled teens they could get their hands on, and they are READY. There’s nothing Matoba can do to shake them, and he has try his absolute hardest or else his entire worldview will shatter. But biting wit and rudeness doesn’t phase them, nor do admissions to cross dressing (canon! The chapter isn’t translated yet, but apparently that’s a thing!) and liking the male actor Natori Shuuichi. They. Are. Unflappable. He has to drop the ayakashi bomb to prove that The Unsighted Can Never Understand, and He Is Fundamentally Unlikable. Does not work: the Fujiwara’s tell him that they already knew, but not to tell Takashi since they want him to come to them when he felt ready.

+ One last hurdle: the whole assassination, deaging thing? *22 is still a baby.* There will always be room at the Fujiwara’s house for traumatized babies forced to grow up too soon.

+ (Takashi is Not Happy. But he can’t make a big deal about it because Matoba’s having an actual breakdown because There Are Truly Good People In This World After All and technically the results are all things that he wanted. But there IS a reckoning eventually. Cool motive: still a massive breach of boundaries.)

+ Nyanko-sensei and Matoba: Matoba absolutely *loves* him- he’s one of the ceramic cats that he literally obsessed over, and he enjoys the fighting. He just fundamentally doesn’t understand why Nyanko-sensei and Natsume haven’t gotten a ring and made it official. This is actually one of those core values differences: Natsume and Nyanko-sensei see not having a contract as a sign of trust and respect, while Matoba is a “tell the gravedigger that he better dig two” kind of person. This is an… interesting combination with the Matoba clan’s history, and helps explain part of why he’s Like That. You’ll never break a promise if you set people’s expectations low enough. + Natori gets roped into the revelations party; exposes the conspiracy; and tracks down the spell that went wrong. There’s a heartfelt conversation about how Natori isn’t the person Matoba thinks he is because he’s fifteen. Matoba resolutely Does Not Believe Him. Natori (accurately) comes away thinking that Matoba has a teenage crush, and resolves to ignore it. He’ll get Matoba back to normal, and he probably wouldn’t even remember anything so it’s not worth worrying about.

+ Gonna have to see where the manga goes, but if canonical events favor it, this is where Matoba would get kidnapped by Ban and his sister. Either to further their political agenda, or out of twisted familial duty a la ‘we can’t trust these outsiders to keep you safe, so we’ll abduct you ourselves.”

+ Spellbreaking! Butt kicking! Politics!

+ Matoba does, in fact, remember everything when the deaging is fixed. He has Conversations with Natori, with Natsume, with the Fujiwara’s about it. He’s genuinely regretful about his actions against them, but he exists within a Horrible Exorcist Society and he’s realistic about that. He offers Natsume instructions on self-defense techniques AGAINST exorcists, no recruitment offer attached. + It takes much longer for Matoba to tell Natori that he still likes him- has always liked him. Natori’s ready to throw him in the lake by the time he gets through all the disclaimers and caveats about what their status and duties would allow them to do about it. “Have you ever seen a conflict of interest statement from an exorcist? No? It’s because nobody cares! Make out in a sealed closet or secluded worksite like a normal person!”

+ My head canon is that the Matoba clan head can’t just break the cycle by giving up an eye: the eye stealing ayakashi would just kill him, and go after the next person in line’s eye as long as the Matoba clan exists. There are very big limits to what Matoba can do, but he does make an effort to tone down the cut throat pragmatism. Small ripples are already forming in the world of exorcists. Happyish ever after?

Can I make a bold statement?

Shinya's childhood was much sadder than Guren's.

There, I said it.

For those of you who haven't read Catastrophe at Sixteen yet, you can stop here.😊

Shinya's childhood literally wants to make me cry.

He had an amazing life, good friends, he was top of his class and the best at everything, with loving parents. (Yes, they loved him. Just... not enough. His parents couldn't defy the Hiragis. They even asked them to take good care of little Shinya!)

Anyway, he was living a happy, child-like life that every kid should!

And then he was taken away. His parents had given him away for money. He never saw his family again. For all we know, he could even have a sibling that was born while he was away at the Hiragi school! We'll never know. HE'LL never know.

He was 5 years old.

A child.

Forced to study harder than an average child, forced to learn how to fight, how to use spellcraft, combat, fighting techniques, illusion spells, you name it. Pleasures of life? Gone.

And then he was thrown into a gladiator-style life at the age of 5.

He made friends.

He killed them.

Repeatedly.

Until he plastered a smile to his face and continued like that. He found that, if he smiled, everything was easier.

He was terrified.

For 5 years.

Kill or be killed.

And then, he survived but was thrown into a forced engagement. And Mahiru wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.

This adorable, blue-eyed child. And she was so love-struck by some other kid that she didn't even bat an eyelash in Shinya's direction.

And he had to endure her incessant gushing about Guren for years following.

All this time, Shinya had never met his adoptive father once. Nor did he have any mother figure.

Parentless.

Forced to be the best.

Living in a family where he was treated like a dog.

Guren had a loving father.

Guren had a good (ish) childhood.

Guren was loved by his entire clan.

His only problem was forbidden love. He wasn't strong enough.

Well, guess what. Neither was Shinya.

...

I love Shinya so much, and his story makes me wanna cry. He deserves so much, and he's just tossed into... ugh.

He needs more love in the main series.

That's my rant.

Bye! ♡♡♡

[lendmeyourpower]

so guren is there anyone you actually looks up to? -anon

-🌙 "And you want to know this because?" Guren asked. He had always looked up to one person growing up, and even now he thought about him when times got hard. And that was his father, Sakae Ichinose.

-🌙 His father was the one who had taught him everything that he knew, and yet he knew when to stay in his place for the protection of the clan. The clan....Guren had been different, which in some ways made Guren think he may have lead them all to destruction.

-🌙 "If you are expecting me to say something stupid, like one of the Hiragis, you are not getting it. So fuck off."

[dcsertrose]

Name: Ryomen Hiragi

Alias: the sword of Hizuru

Age: 20 (850) - 24 (854)

Rank: Lieutenant Colonel

Affiliation: Hiragi family, Azumabito clan.

Dislikes: Eldians, titans, Eren Jaeger

Born into a prestigious military family; Ryomen was groomed from a young age to become the most elite soldier Hizuru has ever seen. His father, Akane, was the head of the military who handed the reins onto his son when he passed away in the year 850. Hizuru's army and navy fleet now lies under his control.

2 years later Kiyomi Azumabito brings forth an enticing offer. A marriage proposal between Ryomen and Mikasa Ackerman. An Eldian of mixed Hizurian ancestry from Paradis island. Hizuru was the only nation that tolerated Eldians, their allyship could be traced back to the days of the Great Titan War.

Hizuru primarily allied itself for financial incentive and for the reserves of iceburst stones mined on Paradis. The marriage proposal aims to strengthen the ties between the two nations.

While Ryomen grew up hearing stories about Eldians and how they can be turned into titans, he has no love for outcasts. He's not particularly fond of Mikasa or the company she keeps when they first meet, but in due time, he begins to grow a liking towards her.

Shinya Hiragi : my doctor asked if anyone in my family suffers from mental illness, I said no, because we all seem to enjoy it

[thesoundofanicefall]

I always say that I have such great and wise friends everywhere and I owe them a lot tbh🤧💖💖💖

Just like this big and great point my very dear friend @taliscrb on Instagram pointed to me!!👇

(Picture from chapter 70)

This is the Hiragi's gate opening door!!

And look at those symbols!!

Both Shikama and the black sun are visible in it!! And it shows that actually the true KING all these times was SHIKAMA DOJI!!

And his kingdom which is base and is under a DARK SUN!!

OMG Kagami pointed this on chapter 70 and we got it here now on chapter 94!!

This wise man!!

And here the 20th cover!!

Yes that's right!!

That door Shikama stood in front of it is actually the same door on chapter 70!!

And those dark things under the door which are not chains actually are the symbol of darkness coming from Shikama doji!!

Wow that was a nice point and I enjoyed it a lot hope you do the same as me too!

lendmeyourpower:

-🌙 Guren looked down at Rise. Nightmares? It sounded like her demon was indeed to blame for this chaos. But her original question caught his attention. He knew a lot more about human experimentation than he let on, even if he never did it until he was sixteen. His sect had forbidden, for good reason. -🌙 "What kind of experimentation?" he asked simply, not showing that he was mad. He didn't even seem to think she was spouting nonsense. He did seem to look a bit concerned for her. That being now he had two kids that he needed to keep from the Hiragis attention, and if Rise was this unstable right now, he had to keep close to her. -🌙 "You should have come to me with this," he remarked simply. "If you are having issues like these, how am I supposed to help you otherwise? I have told you before that I needed to know didn't I?" Guren paused as he thought about what to say next. "As for your demon, there are ways to calm her. So stop refusing to sleep, not to mention keeping things from me."

Needing to sit down due to the weak feeling that arose in her legs, Rise moved to place her hands in her lap as she stared downwardly. It was hard for her to be so open about the nightmare she came from. After all, her childhood was far from normal. Those bright lights... the sharp tools cutting into her... She found herself recalling those experiences constantly.

Feeling her thoughts beginning to drift off as she recalled the horrific line of events, the brunette suddenly snapped back to reality when she'd heard Guren speaking to her. His question dug deep-- much deeper than she was expecting. Moving a now shaking hand, the teen wiped her eyes in her sleeve before sucking in a deep breath. "I don't want to keep things from you, I swear, I just-... I'm... I'm not sure where to start, to be completely honest with you... I've also been terrified of what might happen if the wrong person learns about it all..."

"But, I trust you... So..."

"I don't know much about my biological family's involvement with the Hiiragi clan. The only thing that I know for certain was that my father withdrew from them when he'd discovered his little experiment, but that was before I was even born... the surgeries didn't start until I was maybe... three? I think that's my earliest memory of it all... a-anyways, he was trying to figure out if it were possible to make a person into a demon without a pre-existing demon being around... He would often talk about something called a 'namanari', but to him that was just a cheap way to turn someone into a demon. He wanted it to be 'natural'."

"Whenever I was put under the knife, he would strap me down onto the table and for some reason he would give me this drug that forced me to stay awake, no matter what happened. He would say it would interfere with his research if I wasn't conscious since he was trying to change my consciousness. Well, along the way in his research I think he succeeded, though I'm not sure whether he knows or not. The night of the castrophe, he had just finished conducting one of his experiments before that vampire broke in. You know pretty much the rest of it from there..."

"You don't find that completely unbelievable, do you?... I know I sound insane... but... the demon that's constantly in my ear-- it's not my weapon."

My Saviour: Part 2

Warning: mentions of emotionally abusive parents, a little slow burn, very fluff!

I’m gonna update this series very soon because I hate cliffhangers and I’d hate to leave everyone reading this on a cliffhanger too haha! Enjoy!

The morning sun shone through the windows, indicating the beginning of a new day, and the day your life would be ruined forever, this time by the hands of a stranger. You hadn’t slept all night, simply staring out at the sea while silent tears had rolled down your cheeks. Whatever had you done to deserve such a fate? Perhaps only the electro archon would know.

An hour later you were sitting on a chair, your eyes dull and lifeless while maids fussed around you, fixing your kimono and hair constantly to make sure you looked like “the perfect noble lady”; an order they had received from your parents.

It was safe to say that inazuma had been shocked to hear about a marriage in the Hiragi clan, some even surprised about the fact that you even existed and were being married off at such a young age. The Hiragi estate was decorated with Sakura blooms and all sorts of flowers. After all, your parents had to make a good impression in front of those noblemen.

You looked up at the door opening which snapped you out of your daze, seeing Chisato walk in. You put up a fake smile, bowing to her as she was the heir of the Kanjou Commission and older than you. Although you were cousins, you both weren’t that close. She was a very kind person though, and you had been delighted to know that she had found love in Kujou Kamaji.

“Your parents are calling for you Y/N, it’s time..” you heard the sadness and pity in her voice, she knew this arrange marriage was against your wishes yet she was helpless, she could not change the decision of your parents. You nodded, taking your fan and took one last glance at yourself. In your eyes, you looked unrecognisable, as if a shadow of your own self. Your eyes were full of sorrow, your dimpled smile could not be seen. At long last, your parents had managed to completely snatch every last bit of your happiness away.

Going downstairs, you saw your parents waiting for you. “Finally you have arrived, have you no sense of time? Such important noblemen are coming all the way here for you. Learn to be grateful!” You heard your father’s harsh voice say, making you look down and bow apologetically. “Forgive me father..”

“Forgive you? Never. Now the least you can do is behave properly in front of them, and keep our reputation intact” You nodded silently in response, not having the energy to say anything back.

He scoffed shaking his head and walked away from you with your mother, as you tried to control the tears welling up in your eyes. Soon, all the preparations were done and you were standing beside your parents, hidden behind a screen through which you could see outside, but no once could see you. It had been just 5 minutes and you heard footsteps approaching. Your heartbeat accelerated uncomfortably, as you took a slow deep breath, once again accepting the fact that this is how your life would forever be ruined.

You then saw a tall and extremely handsome man walk inside the house, guided by the guards. He smiled while thanking them, and you felt as if his beauty had trapped you in a trance. His blue hair fell gracefully on his shoulder from one side, his aura was authoritative yet so gentle at the same time. His attire was elegant and suited him perfectly. His posture was immaculate, his walk was confident and dignified. He looked very young, close to your age in fact. You had never seen him, but Oh Archons, what a strikingly handsome man he was. Was he here to seek your hand in marriage? And moreover, just who was he?

“L..lord Kamisato? What brings you here to our humble abode?” Your mother asked, and your heart skipped a beat, although you kept your composure, now feeling thankful for the screen which hid you. Lord Kamisato was here? Had Ayaka forced her brother to save your life? No, he didn’t deserve such a fate, he was only 25 and had never shown any interest in a relationship according to Ayaka. You had so many questions, yet no answers. You kept quiet, watching him talk to your parents.

“Oh Greetings Lady Hiragi. I came to know that your daughter is interested in getting married through the notices you had prepared. As it happens, I would be honoured to court her and make her my wife.” You felt your heart beat louder hearing those words. They seemed…genuine, but how could you be sure? You had never even met each other, so why was the Yashiro Commissioner taking such a step?

“I..oh! Uhm…we weren’t aware you were interested in our daughter Lord Kamisato..” you heard your father say.

“Why is that Sir? Any and every nobleman would be honoured to have your daughter by their side, after all, her reputation exceeds expectations. Forgive me for being so bold, but why do I sense so much hesitation? Am I to understand that..I’m uninvited here?”

Your eyes widened at these words. No one had dared to talk to your parents in such a manner, and you had never seen your parents look so timid and scared in the presence of another noble. But well, he was the Yashiro Commissioner after all. Honestly, seeing the panic settling in your parents’ expressions was way too satisfying to watch.

“No no! Please forgive us Lord Kamisato, we are honoured that you are interested in our daughter!” Your mother covered for her husband hurriedly, making you chuckle silently. It was a blatant lie, they were not happy that he was here. Ayato was just something else, the way he had so respectfully managed to scare your parents left you in awe.

“Ah, that’s a relief to hear. Then when can I have the honour of meeting her?” You heard him say, and you noticed the way his voice softened, almost becoming tender now. “Oh right away Lord Kamisato! Y/N! Come out now!” Ayato had a slight frown after hearing the way your father called you, because he knew well enough that you were right behind the screen as per the traditions, and your father’s tone was harsh and commanding. No worries, very soon he was going to get you out of this prison.

You composed yourself, opening your fan holding it in front of your face as you stepped outside, and finally after all these years, Ayato saw you in real life. He felt his heart beat in happiness as he looked at you; Archons, you were even prettier than the pictures. He had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at you bowing in greeting.

“Greetings Lord Kamisato, I am Hiragi Y/N. it is an honour to have you at our humble estate. I sincerely thank you for taking the effort of coming all the way to Ritou..” You then looked at him, and removed your fan, letting him see your face.

Ayato was awestruck at the beauty he saw in front of him. You were ravishing, your beauty was unlike anyone else’s. Your voice was soft and melodious, and he knew he was already in love with you. He smiled even wider, and to the shock of everyone in the room, he bowed back to you; a gesture noblemen would rarely make towards a woman.

“The pleasure is all mine Lady Hiragi. You are even more beautiful than the words I’ve heard.” You felt yourself blush a little as you looked into his eyes. His eyes were the most beautiful shade of lavender, and you now realised that his clothes matched his eye colour. He was drawing you in already, his presence was magnetic. But you still were reserved, for you had many questions that needed an answer. He then looked at your parents, and once again you noticed the change in the tone of his voice, which now changed from gentle to authoritative.

“I do hope you wouldn’t mind if I could spend some time alone with your daughter, I would like to get to know her more.” Your parents didn’t dare to deny his request, and he then looked at you again, his eyes and voice so gentle for you as he held his arm out in invitation. “Shall we, my lady?” You smiled, placing your hand on his arm gently, instantly feeling this unknown warmth taking over your body. “I would be honoured My lord..”

[shinyagure]

reincarnation au where everything is exactly the same except shinya was born earlier than everyone else, really early during byakkomarus time ( who is one of the only ones that remembers ) and find shinya as a kid near death like mika and turns him into a vampire to keep him alive ( since he still cares deeply and is a parental figure ) but shinya doesn’t actually kill someone and remain a vampire until his early 20s. ​

+ adding on but also he meets the Ichinose clan and there’s mutual respect even when he’s a vampire, more time passes guren is born when shinya is visiting/watching over he accidentally sees him and remembers everything;;;!!!

[imitorisus-a]

[lendmeyourpower]

sir guren we're forever grateful you have save us from the vampires so for today you have have anything on the house and please don't worry about the money' The waitress inform the hero as she gives him menu with an warm smile -anon

-🌙 "Don't sir me," Guren muttered. Sure he was the head of the Ichinose clan, but that meant crap in this world. He was an ant under the foot of the Hiragi clan, yanked around by their leash. If he was told to go on a mission to save people, or leave them to die...that was expected of him.

-🌙 And yet...he did things that was not expected. Such as, walking into what was clearly a trap to save his own men. It would have been better to retreat, saving the ones he had left. And yet he would still risk his life if he could save more life if he could.

-🌙 He glanced up at the waitress, a hint of a smile on his face, as if he was trying to be nice. "There is no need to thank me. If you wish to do this for me however, just curry and rice would do."

OnS Theories (11S). Fifth Theory (Special) - Shinoa and Mahiru Sisters by bonds but not even close by blood

Few days ago, I posted a list of theories I’d write up but, I decided to exclude for now one of them, mainly because its development it’s turning quite long from what I expected; therefore, I’d like to talk about a small detail I noticed in chapter 85, therefore, let’s begin!!

As many recall, the Hiragi family on the current timeline, its current members are somewhat alive (yes somewhat mainly because Mahiru is a ghost/demon? And Shinya is alive thanks to the resurrection)

The Hiragi family’s current members are: Kureto Hiragi, Seishiro Hiragi (Honestly, this boy is a forgotten one but well...) Shinya Hiragi and Shinoa Hiragi.

As we’ve known so far, Shinoa Hiragi is the member that held almost zero interaction with her older brothers except for Shinya and Mahiru Hiragi; though, there’s something that divides and distingues Shinoa by far compared to her other brothers and elder sister but before proceeding to talk about the theory, let’s start first with Mahiru Hiragi and her relationships with her brothers.

To begin with, Mahiru Hiragi was born through experimentation method, of course, her demon she was born with was Asuramaru. (Catastrophe LN and manga - chapter 18: https://loveheaven.net/read-owari-no-seraph-ichinose-guren-16-sai-no-catastrophe-raw-chapter-18.html)

She was born with talent, and intellect, she was aware how the world worked, how her family was like and what exactly she could do in order to achieve certain things respecfully to her age. 

Her relationship with her brothers and sister was different thus, let’s explain how these relationships went like:

Mahiru and Kureto

Mahiru and Kureto are both complex characters and their relationship as brothers seems like one filled with grudges but in fact; both have respect towards each other, but, how can I state that?

Well, in the LNs, Mahiru and Kureto indeed clashed but, Kureto admired the fact that Mahiru was strong, that many things that fell on her shoulders were carried away; he was aware that Mahiru deep down hated living the lifestyle they were forced to carry on; both were aware they were unhappy but neither of them talked about it due to how the Hiragi clan behaved towards its own members.

In Mahiru’s case, she was aware Kureto always aimed to be the best, to prove Tenri that he was a worthy son, but, at the same time, Mahiru was aware that Kureto needed to know the truth; that he needed to take actions slowly even if it was by his own; which is why in the final volume of the Catastrophe, Mahiru asks Kureto some existential questions among ones about how and when exactly the Hiragi Clan started to adquire power, by who exactly; which made Kureto realize he’s been missing more than what he thought.

They’re half brothers due to the fact they were born through different mothers but, nevertheless, there was respect between these two.

Mahiru and Seishiro

About these two...well, it’s really hard to point out what kind of relationship they had; it is to say that Seishiro always tried to put a brave attitude in front of others but in fact, he’s a boy that has always wanted to earn respect, that despite carrying the Hiragi name, he wanted to be of use; but to avail, his father never saw him that way.

Seishiro built an inferiority complex due to all the expectations that ended up falling between Kureto and Mahiru; thus, these two siblings didn’t have a close up relationship.

Mahiru and Shinya

Shinya was Mahiru’s fiance; though, it is to say that Mahiru was brutally honest and straightforward about her feelings towards the only man she ever loved in her life; which was Guren Ichinose.

Mahiru and Shinya had rather a complex relationship due to the fact that Shinya fought in order to gain Mahiru’s hand, he fought in order to get her attention and despite that, the answer was clear as water; he wasn’t what she needed in her eyes; despite that, Mahiru was aware Shinya trusted Guren, she was aware he’d support Guren if she was gone.

And yes, I don’t justify her actions, she ended up killing Guren’s friends before the catastrophe took place but we’ll talk about Shinya’s case later on.

Before talking about the main sisters, the relationships between Shinoa and her elder brothers weren’t exactly perfect; therefore, let’s proceed:

Shinoa and Kureto

Their relationship is complex, with a lack of fraternity and respect; Kureto saw Shinoa as a useful person in order to track down Mahiru during the catastrophe, and with the current story and with the events of Shikama Doji; it’s clear that Shinoa has no love towards Kureto, she had to speak about the monster possessing the family only when Yuichiro was in problem.

It is to say that Kureto never had real interactions with Shinoa due to the fact that Tenri kept Shinoa shunned down to a certain condition which I’ll later talk about; but if things happened different, the relationship between these two would have been different.

Shinoa and Seishiro

This is literally an enigma, it is really hard to state if they’ve ever interacted or not.

Shinoa and Shinya

Shinoa and Shinya are like two drops of water; they’re quite alike in terms of personality; they’ve kept their emotions hidden within a mask but; the small difference is that Shinoa was empty; while Shinya had to adapt to his new lifestyle, he had to accept that his parents literally sold him to a stronger family; and thus, they bonded a little.

It is clear to state that with time, Shinoa developed trust towards Shinya; which can be said with Shinya as well; both care about each other but of course, they mind their respective business.

Mahiru and Shinoa

As for last, let’s talk about the sisters, the only ones that held a deeper interaction among the brothers within the Hiragi family; but, why is it important to talk about their relationship as sisters?

To begin with, Mahiru and Shinoa were born in the same method, through experimentation; but, there was something different between these two sisters, but what could it be?

To begin with, Mahiru was born thanks to a demon possessed woman; which is supposely the same for Shinoa but, Mahiru managed to meet her mother before the Hiragi family ordered to kill her.

In Shinoa’s case, she never got to meet her mother, she never had human interaction and was shunned down at a young age, it can be said that she was kept in secret after she turned 2 years old, but, how can I state this?

In the catastrophe manga, in chapter 16 and 18, there are some panels that show the interactions between Shinoa and Mahiru; at that time, Shinoa was around 4 years old and would often receive visits from Mahiru.

But despite the sisters interactions, there’s something amiss within Shinoa; and that’s the fact that Shinoa is not entirely human, what do I mean?

If many recall that black matter from chapter 78, we saw how it was absorbing Yu with it in order to create more clones; among this, it is possible that Shinoa was created by the same process adding Tenri’s DNA for that. Now, what exactly gives me such idea?

In chapter 85, after Shinoa was saved by Guren thanks to the Sinful Keys, we saw how Mahiru ended up catching her and allowing her to stand up in a safe spot; at the same time, Shinoa referred to Mahiru as elder sister, and you might wonder what it’s wrong with this since they’re sisters. 

The issue here is that Noya questioned about how Shinoa addressed Mahiru; he suggested that they should kill Shinoa and be done with all the problems.

Now, many might guess that the answer is due to the fact Noya is a demon but, Noya was aware of Mahiru’s intentions; along that, he was restrained inside Mahiru while being in one sole cursed gear; therefore, it is possible that Noya was able to learn even more about Mahiru and how exactly her life was like as a human and this is due to the fact that Mahiru wasn’t able to close her heart as Shinoa.

Likewise, even if Shinoa and Mahiru aren’t related by blood, their bond was genuine, they both cared for each other; Mahiru really loved Shinoa the most and it’s possible that she was aware that Shinoa wasn’t entirely human, but, how is that possible? How can I state that?

To start off with this, Mahiru was aware that Tenri was up to no good with the experiments that were performed long ago with children being born from demon possessed women; along that, it is clear that Mahiru was aware that her destiny was set on stone, that she really had no chance to change it; along the fact that Tenri made Shinoa a hostage for Mahiru.

During the time Shinoa and Mahiru spent together as kids until certain point Mahiru started to spend less time with Shinoa; Mahiru made sure to teach Shinoa something valuable; what could Mahiru teach Shinoa?

Having a human heart. Shinoa grew up like any other Hiragi, she received training, to be merciless,to learn the value of strength and weakness in what the Hiragi Family concidered as a fact. It is clear that Tenri had knowledge of what was behind Shinoa and Mahiru thanks to the First Progenitor pulling the strings; though, it is clear that the First Progenitor was aware that his vessel was still young and thus he waited.

Among this,  Mahiru ended up taking care of Shinoa and with this, she was able to smile and laugh before the nightmares manifested; within the process, it is likely that Mahiru checked on Shinoa most of the times and questioned her if she had nightmares of the sorts due to the experiments that were held with them

Once those nightmares manifested in Shinoa at a young age around 4-5; Mahiru was aware that Shinoa carried a more dangerous being than herself; which is why Mahiru found a way to extract Shinoa’s demon and by default, once the demon was removed from her, she lost all her memories about it.

After that event, Mahiru made sure to teach Shinoa how to close up her heart, how to fake smiles, how to put up a mask but within the process, after Mahiru removed Shikama Doji from Shinoa; Shinoa became something more as an empty vessel, someone who lost a part of its soul; someone who lost a part of what made her complete, which is why in further chapters within the catastrophe, it is evident the lack of interest from Shinoa; how she got used to the loneliness without being bothered by it.

Despite that, Shinoa retained human emotions and this is shown specially when Kureto held her as hostage and Mahiru ended up telling him to do as he pleased.

Mahiru was aware that’d hurt Shinoa deeply which actually managed to create within Shinoa, total distrust towards others, which is something that can be seen when she didn’t believe Guren and Shinya mouring for her if she died.

But like most of the characters in the story, eventually that sadness and emptyness was fulfilled by her new family who taught her how to value life and friendship.

What do you think guys? Do you believe that Shinoa’s behavior might have to do with something else?

Let me know!!

Summary: Guren returns with Kureto from the battle in Nagoya, only he seems different. His friends are dragged to jail but you know there must be something hidden underneath the cruel act, because Guren always puts family first.

Your lips trembled as your eyes counted at the wounded soldiers that returned from Nagoya. You scanned their uniforms but none of them bore the colours of the Moon Demon Company. None of them had the insignia of the Ichinose clan and so none of them could tell you what had happened to the one person you cared most in this forfeited world.

You ran outside the gates of Shinjuku. The line of cars heading in was long, and all of them were carrying either injured or dead. A large truck brought in a broken cage and whole mountains of chains. What had happened?

"Kureto!", you couldn't hide a note of anger in your voice as you spotted the Hiragi heir getting out of one of the cars. His company surrounded him, some of them bandaged but all still ready to fight. Unlike the many men and women who fought under his command, Kureto seemed to be almost completely uninjured.

"Y/n", he adressed you with not much interested, lifting his thick eyebrow a good few inches above its regular spot, "Funny. He took all his friends and left you behind."

Something in his voice sounded mocking. He tapped the window of the car right behind his. "Get out", he said coldly.

The door opened, letting your eyes meet the violet ones you longed to see. You could see them shining under the shadow of the car. But there was something different about them. It was like the spark, the will, was suddenly gone from behind them. His gaze felt indifferent on you. Each second that passed lasted an eternity of suffering. At last, his eyes moved to Kureto.

"What do you want?", he asked him, "Aren't you heading into Shinjuku?"

Kureto dramatically placed his hands on his hips, "Your superior is standing right in front of you and you'll talk to him sitting down?"

Guren stepped out of the car, casually stretching his body from the long ride. "You're such a pain", he grunted.

You stood dumbfounded as he talked to Kureto in his usual defying way. You whispered his name but there was no response. Not a word, not even a glance. They talked about the Seraph of the End, an experiment you'd heard whispers about during your stay in Shinjuku. You stepped aside as a great more of Kureto's soldiers came from the gate. All the Hiragi warriors that never joined the last battle climbed in their trucks to join the next.

"You killed a lot of our allies for this", Guren's words pulled you back to reality. What? Did he just say-

"It was for humanity's sake", Kureto responded before turning to you with a hateful smile. He knew you were listening all this time and he had noticed that you were now paying attention. He pointed at Guren, "You know, he's killed people too. So many people. But it was because it meant something, I promise-"

"Enough", Guren's voice came soft but threatening. You could see his fist tightening up and tremblingbeside him. One who did not know him as well as you did would had missed the deep breath he took before he flashed his signature cocky grin. "Hurry up and go get your papa to call you a good boy", he smiled at Kureto, his fist never relinquishing its tense state.

An old police truck passed behind you to enter the city but you couldn't imagine what it was doing before. You couldn't hear the rest of the conversation as commotion grew beyond the gates. You took a few steps back to sneak a peak and saw Kureto's soldiers carrying Guren's friends, all of them in chains and all of them asleep. Last came Shinya, his silver hair dirtied with mud and blood. He was the only ome who stepped out of the truck by himself, his hands and legs bound with handcuffs. He winced as the soldiers tried to pull him along with where they were takimg the others. You wanted to cry out, to run and stop them, but your feet where nailed to the ground. Your eyes moved back to Guren. He was right there, talking to Kureto, not doimg anything for what was happening just a few meters away.

How could he? This was Guren. Why was he doing this to his friends? And, could you be ne....

"I'm going to Shibuya", Kureto said with pride before getting back into his car, "to kill my father"

Your eyes widened. You would not object to the death of the Hiragis' head, one of the people responsible for making Guren's life miserable even before the fall. But...

You felt someone urge you inside. You looked up and saw Guren's arm wrapped around you, his face serious as he led the two of you through the gate. Once the two of you stepped into the main building, you picked up his arm and threw it away. He stopped in his tracks, never turning to look. Could he not do it or did he change that much that he did not want to?

"Guren", you called, "what happened?"

Again, no answer. You could not understand why that man, who stayed with you through rain and war, who made this catastrophe of a world worth living in, was now silent and cold towards the only person he had never been. But your heart believed in him even as it was breaking. He had to have a hidden agenda. You always knew he knew much more then he was letting on.

"Why is Shinya and the others in custody?", you asked this time. His head was bowed but his lips remained closed. "Well I don't like where this is headed", you said, "I oppose whatever this is so you might as well throw me in jail with them"

You heard his breath catch before he murmured an anxious "No". You walked closer and placed your hand on his bicep, fingers curling comfortingly around his arm.

"Then tell me what's going on", you told him.

He turned around. Whatever stress you had caused with your words was gone now. His eyes were calm but you could see a mourning veil of sorrow behind them. He cupped your cheek, thumb gently brushing over it. He brought his face close, as if he leaned in for a kiss. But instead, he touched his forehead to yours. He closed his eyes and stayed silent for a little. It was like he was trying to transfer his thoughts to you without ever speaking any of them aloud.

"I can't", he finally said, his voice a strangled whisper. His expression twisted as he said those words but quickly returned to a blank unreadable sheet. He lowered his hand to your back, trying to guid you inside, you you shook it away. You gave him a pained look and left for the training room. Perhaps you could beat the worries off the both of you.

The days passed without seeing Guren much. You visited Shinya and the others in their cells. You rejoiced to hear that Guren visited them as well but that joy did not last long. Their tales of the battle were worrying. They said that Guren had changed. That he hurt people. His friends. The ones he called family. You did not want to believe it and yet the man you met at the gate was a far cry from the one you fell in love with.

In the days that followed you kept visiting your friends. At some point, the guards suspected you for conspiring to free them and forbade you from entering again. So you came every morning, cried "hello. I'm here" towards the open door, waited for the joined "hey"'s from inside and sat on the stairs eating your breakfast. One day, you felt a shadow come begind you. You tilted your head up and saw him; Guren.

"Leave", he told the guards

They tried to object but to no use. Guren dismissed them. He passed you by, his hand gently brushed through your hair as he did. That small touch alone made you feel so much.

"Guren", you stood as he opened the door to the cells. He stayed pondering for a while, hand on the knob. Once he turned, you saw something truly broken in his eyes...you wondered if it was your own reflection.

"I", his voice was caught in his throat. He closed the door, his head bowing down. "I need to do three things", he said in a quiet tone, "I need to keep you safe, I need to keep my friends alive, and I need to right my sin"

He lifted his gaze to look at you again. You could not read his expression, or rather you could not understand the reason for it. Was it regret that clouded his violet eyes? Pain? Sorrow? All of those at once?

"I can't explain more right now", he continued, "One day, when we are alone, perhaps I will. But promise me you'll stay alive for me to do so when I get back to you"

His last words stang like a poisoned dart. You took a step toward him. "You're leaving?", you said. He didn't answer. No, you though, no he couldn't do that anymore. You raced to him as he turned his back and brought your arms around his torso, hands clinging to his shoudlers, pulling him to you. You rested your cheek on the rough fabric on the back of his uniform and squeezed him close. "Please don't leave me", you murmured.

You could hear the frantic sound of his heartbeat. His hand trembled as it travelled to touch yours. He tilted his head to the side so his cheek touched your joined hands and placed a kiss on your finger tips. Silence engulfed you, but it was not silence at all. There was a wordless communication between you, a mutual share of love and pain that did not required any sound at all. Guren's breathing was labored, you could hear, and you knew it was solely due to the ache in his hidden but so incredibly loving heart.

He wiggled and you loosened your arms so he would turn around. He was quick to cup your cheeks and pull you in for a kiss. It struck you that it was the first kiss you'd shared in quite a while, even counting the time since his return.

"I promise, I'll stay right here.", he touched his forehead to yours once the kiss came to an end, "With you. By your side. I'll always return to you no matter what happens."

His fingers brushed up your cheeks and buried themselves in your hair. He lifted his head to place a gentle kiss on your forehead. Then, with gaze so serious it scared you, he looked deep into your eyes as he continued in a low tone so none other could hear.

"But right now, I need you to stay safe. Keep away from Kureto. And...", he looked to ponder for a little while whether or not to add the last sentence, "And head to Akihabara. There's a lab underground. But you need to keep yourself safe first."

"Guren, what..."

He stepped away. He smiled as he took in your image, engraving it in his memory for the time you'd be apart.

"I'll meet you there once I can. And then...there will be no more secrets."

Ypu tried to speak but he cut you off with another kiss. There was fear and worry in the embrace that followed. "You are my love, my home, my family", he whispered in your ear, "but I need to help everyone else too". You could hear the hope in his voice, his dream shining like beacon as he spoke the rest, "and then, if all goes according to plan, we'll be together in a world better than the one I destroyed"

You didn't understand his words completely and neither could you have guessed the price he would pay for what he was promising. He went inside the cells and brought out Shinya and the others, giving you a knowing look, a last promise, before they dissapeared into the night.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Note: I don't know if you've been following the manga but here's some info if you haven't:

- Guren triggered the apocalypse to ressurect Shinya and his friends. They would be alive for ten years after the fall or until someone told them they had died and been brought back

- In the last published chapter, Guren goes to Akihabara and intends to bring back the world. The price for that will be that one person would become immortal, a certain number of special keys and the death of every vampire on earth.
