i loved the previous 2 ending request, so id like to ask for an another one! this time with mamoru and ryota
Thank you for the request~! Weâre happy to know you guys like these kind of scenarios!We decided to use the Hyakki Yakou/Night Parade of a Hundred Demons Yokai AU for this request. You can see the list of what yokai each unit member is over here.Hope you like it~!
- Mods nana and mari
The burgundy-haired Kageboshi adjusted his hat for theumpteenth time, finally earning an exasperated sigh from the blue-haired yokai.
âYouâve been doing that since you got here! I think youshould fix your hair before anything else.â Kensuke commented, crossing hisarms.
âKen-kunâŚthereâs a reason I wear this hat. My hair has awill of its ownâŚâ Mamoru replied in a soft voice, pulling the straw hat down.Shaking his head, he regained his usual vigor. âI canât help it! Todayâs theday [Name] comes over to visit!â
â[Name]? Ah, that human child?â the green-eyed Inugamihummed in understanding, a sly grin on his face. âSo thatâs why Ryo was sorestless today~!â he stole a glance at the frowning water spirit taking shelterin the shade of a large tree.
âI was not restless. You know I like being tidy.â Thewhite-haired spirit replied calmly, looking away with a pout. âUnlike a certaindog that likes to kick up dirt everywhere he goesâŚâ
âYes yes Iâm sorry.â Kensuke apologized, puffing his cheeksto mutter. âEven though I was the one that brought [Name] over to you in thefirst placeâŚâ
âItâs because youbrought her over that Iâve been stuck taking care of all of you! Honestly, whofollows a suspicious dog and then gets lost in the forest on their way backâŚâRyota closed his eyes with a vehement sigh.
âBut itâs thanks to Ken-kun that we all meet up here everyyear.â Mamoru continued with a wistful smile. â[Name] can only come visit usduring these âsummer vacationâ and âwinter holidaysâ things but itâs always so much fun when everyone can play together!â he added with a laugh.
âCome to think of it, she hasnât visited latelyâŚâ the wavy-hairedyokai mused, looking up at the sunlight filtered through the tree leaves.
âItâs been three years, I think.â Mamoru replied, glancingat his feet while he twirled his staff.
âThree years? Thatâs a long time for humans, you know!âKensuke looked from Ryota to Mamoru, furrowing his brows in concern. âAre yousure she didnât just forget about you guys?â
The two blinked at the Inugami, then at each other.
âNo way! [Name]âs not that kind of person!â Mamoru laughedwith a wave of his hand, though his voice didnât sound as sure.
âWell if she did then hopefully that means I can go back tomy peaceful days by the riverside.â Ryota mused, resting his head against thetree bark.
â
ââŚWhat happened to â[Name]âs not that kind of personâ?âGarnet eyes peered to the side at the messy-haired shadow hiding in the bushwith him.
âI-I could say the same thing to you, Ryo-kun! I thought youwere going back to your peaceful days by the riversideâŚâ Brown eyes glancedback at the spirit. âYouâre not honest, are you~?â
âWhat was that?â
âNothing!â he quickly shifted his gaze back to the roadside,scanning the vicinity for passersby when he found a small group of friendslaughing and chattingâbrown eyes sparkling once they found a familiar figure.
âIs that [Name]?â Ken popped his head out, startling the twoyokai.
âKen-kun, what are you doing here?!â Mamoru exclaimed,placing a hand to his chest to calm his beating heart.
âI just wanted to see!â the Inugami replied with his usualgrin, emerald eyes making their way back to the humans. âSo that one over thereis [Name]?â
âI think so. She looks soâŚdifferent.â Ruby hues watched youlaugh with your friends, recalling the uncouth brat you used to be, always chasingafter him with a bug on the end of a stick.
âSheâs an adult now.â Ken mused.
âItâs been three years, after all.â Mamoru reminded with anostalgic look in his eyes as he saw how much you grew up in a seeminglyshort time.
âSo [Name], howâs it like in the big city? You didnât comelast year so we almost thought you forgot about us!â one of your friendschuckled, walking backwards so he could see you properly.
âI was busy with school and exams. Iâm in universitynow so I havenât even gotten time to breathe, let alone visit!â you explained witha short apology while Ryota and Kensuke blinked up at Mamoru as though to ask what a university was. The Kageboshi shrugged, the threeof them returning their attention back to you.
âBut man, were you a weird kid back then!â another friendexclaimed, frowning at your confused expression. âYou always ran off to theriverside and played by yourself. You kept running around with a stick andshouted random stuffâwe thought you actually lost it at one point!â she gaveyou a cheeky grin.
âI never did that! âŚDid I?â you asked, glancing to the groundas you tried to remember.
âYou did!â she continued. âWhenever we invited you to playwith us, you said you promised to play with someone else. But when we foundyou, you looked like you were having a conversation but there wasnâtanyone nearbyâŚâ
You frowned, placing a hand under your chin. âI remember playingby the riverside a lot butâŚit wasnât with you guys?â you asked to whicheveryone shook their heads.
âWhen I called you a liar for making stuff up about a waterfairy you gave me this scar, remember?â a boy pointed to his forehead where afaint line was etched onto his skin. âYou called me a bunch of nasty names fornot seeing something that was never even there in the first place!â
âIâm so sorry!â you gave a short bow, suddenly recalling howyou got lectured for doing that. But you couldnât seem to recall by whom. Onlya faint silhouette of a person and a veil blowing in the windâŚ
Green eyes watched as Ryotaâs fingers curled against theleaves, ruby eyes glaring at you.
âI donât believe itâŚshe actually forgotâŚ?â he mutteredthrough clenched teeth. âAll those times she came after me with bugs, all thosebeetles she made me hunt with herâŚall those times she slipped and fell into theriverâŚshe doesnât remember anything?!â
âRyoâŚâ the blue-haired youth began, reaching out to place apaw on his shoulder when he froze at the sight of snakes coiling around thewhite-haired fairyâs armsâtheir hissing in tune with Ryotaâs growl.
âTo think she has the nerve to just forget all the grief shecaused meââ
âAhh Ryo, I get youâre upset but sending snakes after herwonât change anything!!â Kensuke jumped onto him, trying to prevent the snakesfrom moving.
âKen, let go!â
âMamoru, help me out here!â
âEh? Huh?! Ehhh?!â the panicked Kageboshi fidgeted around,placing his hands up in an attempt to stop the bickering yokai when a stray elbowto the face caused Mamoru to get pushed out of their hiding place and crashinto you.
âMamoru!â
â[Name], are you alright?!â yourfriend grabbed you by the arm before you fell.
âIâm fine. Thank you!â you regained your footing, turningaround to see a bush rustling. âWhat was that?!â you watched a faint figureof what looked like a dog-man retreat into the woods.
âWhat was what?â the others followed your gaze, seeingnothing out of the ordinary.
âThere was someone thereâŚâ You muttered, glancing down tofind your shadow looking more like that of a man wearing a hat.
âWhoa! What isthis?!â you exclaimed, stumbling back while it glided along the ground and disappeared.
âThere she goes again! I thought you grew out ofthat phase, [Name]!â
â
âKen, let go of me.â
Ryota yanked his arm out Kensukeâs hold, fixinghis clothes as he turned his back to the Inugami.
âRyoââ
âThe only time she didnât visit was last yearâŚâ Ryotagrumbled, his head lowered to the side. âThat means she regularly came to this town before thenâŚyet she didnât even bother coming hereat all these past three years.â
âItâs not like [Name] meant to.â Ken jumped back as Mamorucame out of his shadow. âThatâs just how humans areâŚthey donât mean to forgetabout us but sometimes when they grow up, they end up losing the ability to seeus and the memories that came with it.â He lazily twirled his staff,narrowing his eyes as he recalled moments from his travels.
Silence hung in the air while emerald hues looked from oneof his friends to the other.
âItâs fine. If she wants to go ahead and forget about usthen itâs her wish.â Ryota finally spoke, lifting his head. âIâm going home.â Hestated, heading back to the riverside.
âRyoâŚâ Kensuke held a paw out, bringing it back to look at theequally heartbroken Kageboshi. âMamoruâŚâ
âSorry Ken-kunâŚbut Iâd like to be alone for a bit too.â He gavea forced smile, excusing himself to head deeper into the forest.
â
You walked along the path, lost in thought. Your groupdecided to disband, everyone heading home for the day yet you still wanderedaround the town, vague memories and blurry faces of people floating into yourmind ever since your conversation earlier in the afternoon. And before you knewit the sun had already begun to set and you found yourself not too far from theforest you always played in as a kid.
[E/c] hues gazed at the trees, a tightening feeling in your chest for not being able to remember something you knew was very dear to you.
Woof!
You let out a yelp at the sudden bark derailing yourthoughts, looking down to find a green-eyed dog energetically wagging its tailat you.
âYouâreâŚâ you began, eyes widening as the dog stood up and turnedaround to run into the forest.
âWait!â you chased after it, finding yourself going throughan all too familiar path. With each step you took, all the memories you spenthere came back in clear view.
You jogged to a halt, catching your breath as you lookedaround for the strange dog. [E/c] hues searched the area when you found yourselfat a fork in the road, the forest branching out into two different paths.
You took a step forward, choosing to go down the
> Left path
> Right path
Fujimura Mamoru:
Your footstepssquished against the earth, shoes tracking water from the river you fell into. Thesun had gone down and you found yourself lost in the forest that you had tocross to go back home. Maybe it was because of the darkness but everything lookedmuch more scarier and confusing than it did when you entered and you had no ideawhich way to go.
Should you just headback to the river? But the water spirit that lived there seemed very upset withyouâŚ
You crouched down witha yelp, placing your hands over your head at the sudden cawing of a crow,squeezing your eyes shut at the rustling of shrubs nearby.
âI just wanna gohome!â you cried, tears streaming down your face while you hiccupped.
âU-UmmâŚâ
You lifted your headat the voice, searching around for the owner when it spoke again.
âThis is the thirdtime youâve circle around here⌠C-Could it be that youâre lost?â
You hesitantly nodded,sniffling when you felt a hand on your head. Peeking up you saw a man wearing black clothes, a straw hat resting atop his messy dark red hair, his face covered by a thin veil. Offering a kind smile, he knelt down to talk to you, brown eyes gazing warmly at you.
âThe forest is a scaryplace at night, isnât it? Letâs get you home, shall we?â
ââŚAfter Ryota finally had enough, he kicked me out of theriver and I ended up getting lost on my way back home.â You mused with anostalgic smile, closing your eyes. âThat was when youfound me and took me back home, didnât you Mamoru?â
You turned around to address the bushes behind you whichseemed to jump at your voice. âYouâre there, arenât you?â
â[N]-[Name]âŚâ the Kageboshi came out of hiding, awkwardlysmiling at you. âI-Itâs been a whileâŚâ
âIt really has!â You chuckled, continuing your trip downmemory lane.
âOn my way back you told me all sorts of stories about yourtravels and how Ryota really wasnât as scary as he seemed. After that I ended upvisiting the riverside every day and you always walked me back home once it wastime for me to go.â You walked towards him, smile never fading.
âIt was because you were always scared of the darkâŚâ helaughed shyly.
ââŚAll the while lecturing me about not hurting my friends,teaching me new songs and talking about a âreally coolâ fox spirit you were goodfriends with.â You continued with a wry grin.
He opened his eyes, staring curiously once you placed ahand around his face.
âAnd yet I stopped visitingâŚno I completely forgot about ourpromise to meet up here every holiday.â You rubbed his cheek with your thumb,eyes filling with tears. âI forgot about you and Ryota⌠Iâm so sorry! I didnâtmean to, Iââ
âNo itâs alright! Itâs not your fault!â Mamoru ferventlyshook his head, wrapping his hand around yours. âItâs just the way things are.Humans and yokai live very different livesâŚwe shouldnât have gotten involvedwith each other in the first place but we did. And Iâm glad we did! Iâm sureRyo-kun feels the same way too.â
âIâm glad we met too.â You smiled when his grip tightened,his brown eyes looking away.
âActually⌠[Name]âŚâ you blinked at his downcast expressionwhen Mamoru shook his head. âI-Itâs nothing, never mind! More importantly, youremember us now right? I know itâs late but how about we all play togetheragain?!â Mamoru asked, his energy returning as he led you down the path tothe riverside.
â
After getting thoroughly lectured by a near crying Ryota, hefinally forgave you and you were properly introduced to Kensuke, the âdogâ thatled you to the river all those years ago and again now. The four of you had asmall banquet, something Mamoru had apparently been hoping to hold once youwere finally old enough to drink.
After a few rounds of drinks, you excused yourself from a drunkenRyota that was trying to shove more sake down Kensukeâs throat. You searchedfor Mamoru, finding him sitting atop a small rock formation and gazing up atthe stars.
âMamoru.â He looked over his shoulder at your voice, movingover to make room for you before looking back up at the night sky.
âIt really has been a long time, huh?â you mused, tracingyour way through the stars.
He nodded, silence taking over once again while Kensuke andRyota shouted in the distance. You looked away from the stars to catch Mamorustaring at you.
âWhat?â you quirked an eyebrow.
âA-Ah, i-itâs nothing!â he shook his head to snap out of it,hoping the darkness was able to hide his flushed cheeks. âI was just thinkingabout how much youâve grown. You were so small not so long ago!â he chuckled.
âI was not!â you argued, offended by his statement. âIâllhave you know I grew a lot over the years!â
âAh, thatâs right! [Name], tell me about what youâve been doing all these years we havenât met!â Mamoru requested, shifting to properly face you. âI want toknow everything! Like that âuniversityâ thing you were talking to your friendsabout today!â
You leaned back while he leaned forward, Mamoruâs eyes sparkling withanticipation. You looked up in thought, scratching your cheek.âWhere do I beginâŚ?â
You decided to start with your life from the last time youvisited the town, giving him a brief explanation about your middle and highschool days before talking about your current life as a college student.
âHeeehâŚso this scroll called a âdegreeâ will help you findwork that helps pay for food?â Mamoru placed a hand to his chin in thought. âItâdbe nice if yokai had such a convenient tool! Traveling takes quite the toll onthe bodyâŚâ he patted his stomach. âI canât tell you how many times Iâve passed outon the roadside from hunger!â
âYou never change, do you?â you laughed, slapping his arm. âTakebetter care of yourself! Youâre a traveler, arenât you?!â you chided while hechuckled sheepishly, rubbing his arm.
âAnd itâs a lot of work to get a degree, you know! Sure youget money from a job but most of it goes into paying back all the loans youtake to get a degree in the first placeâŚâ you explained with a tired sigh,scratching your head while the poor Kageboshi only became more confused. âBut thatâsenough about me. What about you, Mamoru? Donât you have any stories from yourtravels for me?â
âEh?â he blinked, his mood suddenly going down. âI havenât goneanywhere recentlyâŚfor the past two years actually.â He held his tongue, not wantingyou to feel responsible for his own decision to stay and wait for you.
âThenâŚhow about what you were going to say before?â you asked,holding his hand. âBack in the forest, you made a very sad faceâŚis everythingalright?â
He stayed silent for a moment, looking away with a sadsmile. âActuallyâŚI was thinking about traveling again. I decided that if youdidnât visit again this year, then I would leave the forest and go travelingagain.â
âBut you did comeâŚand yet Iâm still not sure about staying.â he confessed.
âIâm happy that you actually remembered us this timebutâŚeventually you really will forget about us. Youâll soon completely lose theability to see us and even if you do remember, youâll probably just be confused by everythingâlike you were this afternoon.âHe squeezed your hand tight, still refusing to look at your face.
You watched as Mamoruâs shoulders shook, his voice steadilybreaking.
âWhat happened to Ryo-kun has happened to other yokai. Theyâvehad their hearts broken by being forgotten by the children they played with so often.Even some of the humans I met on my travelsâŚwhen I saw them again, they weresuddenly adults and couldnât even see or hear me anymore.â he took a breath,releasing it with a shaky laugh. âThatâs why, Iâm thinking of continuing mytravelsâŚbefore I get too attached to this place.â
âBut Iâll miss you.â
Dark brown eyes opened at your words, lifting his head tolook at you.
âIâll miss you if you leave, Mamoru.â You repeated,squeezing his hand and leaning closer. âIâll be lonely when I come back herenext year and youâre not there.â
â[Name]âŚâ he glanced down at the ground, shoulders shakingonce more. âPlease donât say things like thatâŚâ
âMamoruââ
ââŚIt makes me want to believe it!â
In an instant you found yourself in his embrace, his lipsmolding against yours. [E/c] hues widened at his action: really quick,desperate kisses as he pulled you closerâas though you would disappear from himif he didnât hold onto you tight. You closed your eyes, placing a hand to Mamoruâscheek to calm him down and slow his pace as you kissed him back gently. Yourhand moved to his hair, running it through his messy wine-colored locks.
He slowly pulled away, looking into your eyes before huggingyou once more. â[Name], I donât know if youâll remember everything aftertodayâŚbut even if you donâtâŚâ
Mamoru kissed your head and pulled you away, a sheepishsmile on his features as he caressed your face.
ââŚOn the chance you happen to see a wandering shadow on theroad in the future, if it feels familiar or reminds you of tonightâeven just alittle bitâŚdo you mind giving it a bite to eat?â
Sakuraba Ryota
You ran with all your might as you continued to chase over a dog you had seen while coming home from playing with a few friends of yours. As the dog started to accelerate, so did you. The adrenaline from playing with your friends, and wanting to play with the dog was in your in your system, causing you to run faster.
You chased after the dog up until a river, where the dog started to bark loudly, as if calling for something or someone. As the dog continued to bark at the edge of the river, you slowly crept up from the behind dog, in hopes of catching him.
The dog, however, sensed your presence and jumped into the river and resumed barking. You followed him into the river as well, and this restarted your chasing game with the dog â the dog running away from you (and barking occasionally), and you, still chasing after him.
When you had finally caught the dog, someone shouted, âStop playing around!â
You released the dog in surprise, as the dog happily barked and went behind a man with silver hair, and a light veil resting on his head, covering up to his mid-back, had appeared before you. You also noticed the light blue gem just below his collarbone, and a horn on his forehead.
The man glared at the dog hiding behind him, before focusing his glare on you.
âRyota-kun sure was scaryâŚâ you fondly remembered as you neared the river where you first met the water fairy. âHe glared at me with such intensity before telling me to leave.â you giggled as you stopped to look at the beautiful river before you.
You looked around the vicinity of the river, looking for the silver-haired water fairy that you remembered playing with even after he had told you to leave during your first meeting. âRyota-kun?â you called out, to which you didnât hear a single reply, nor a sign of the fairy being in the vicinity.
You then smiled to yourself before picking up a pebble from the ground and threw it on the river, making it skip 2 times, before it submerged into the river. You did this a few more times, and as you were about to throw one more pebble, you heard someone shout, âStop throwing those pebbles into my river!â
You dropped the pebble as you turned your head to your side, where the water fairy showed himself to you. With a grin in your face, you said, âI knew youâd come out if I did something!â
Ryota looked at you in disbelief before he started to walk away. âAh! Hey, Ryota-kun! Where are you going? Donât ignore me!â
Ryota ignored this, and was about to disappear into the river when you threw a pebble at him. âAh! Hey!â he quickly turned around and glared at you as he rubbed the spot where the pebble had hit him. âWhyâd you do that for?!â
âBecause you were ignoring me!â
Ryotaâs hands clenched into fists as he shouted, âWell you were theââ
âRyo-kun? Whatâs wronââ
ââone who didnât visit for three whole years, [Name]!â
ââg⌠[Name]?!â
You turned to look at a burgundy haired Kageboshi, âMamoru!â
You skipped to Mamoru as the Kageboshi started to compliment you, completely forgetting the silver-haired water fairy.
âHeyâŚâ Ryota started as he appeared beside them.
âRyota-kun/Ryo-kun!â both you and Mamoru shouted, surprised that he had just suddenly appeared beside you two.
Ryota sighed exasperatedly at your reactions before looking at you with an upset expression, ââŚShouldnât you be with your human friends?â
âRyota-kunâŚâ
âRyo-kun⌠[Name]âsââ
ââMamoru.â Ryota interrupted Mamoru as he asked you again, âWhat are you doing here?â
You looked down at your fingers and explained, âI just followed the dog here⌠And all my memories from before just came rushing back.â you quickly looked the two yokai with desperate expressions, âI really am sorry that I forgot you guys.â you apologized with a bow.
Ryota merely looked at you, still upset.
âNow, now Ryo. Canât you see a human is bowing before you, clearly sorry for everything.â you looked up to where you heard the voice and saw a blue-haired man with dog-like paws for hands, dog ears and a tail. The color, however, seemed oddly familiar to you.
âHey [Name]! Iâm Ken! Iâm that dog you always chased around~â
âAh!â you quickly remembered, âYou were also the one who brought me back here earlier!â
âYup!â
âKen.âÂ
Ken froze as he felt Ryotaâs glare on him before slowly explaining, âCâmon Ryo, [Name]âs finally here, and weâve been waiting for a long time.â
Ryota scoffs and crosses his arms, not giving in to anyoneâs explanations.Â
âRyota-kunâŚâ You carefully walked towards him and gently apologized, âIâm really sorry.â you looked down on the ground, hoping to hear from him.
Ryota saw Ken and Mamoru trying to convince him to forgive you, making him sigh before saying, âForget me one more time, and Iâll never forgive you.â
You looked up at him with a happy smile on your face, âRyota-kun!â
Ryota let out an exasperated smile before petting your head and let out a light chuckled, âWhat am I ever going to do with you?â
â
Years went by and you found yourself in your childhood town. You found yourself a vacation and decided to visit the old town. You mostly just catched up with a few friends who had stayed behind in town instead of finding a job in the city, but on the last day, you found yourself wandering in the forest. You knew you had a connection with it, and vague memories in it.Â
You didnât know it yourself, but you knew you made some kind of promise in the forest. After unconsciously finding yourself in a beautiful river, you found yourself crying and saying a name that you had remembered, âRyota-kunâŚâ
Knowing the significance of the name and the river, you looked around for any sign of the beautiful silver-haired water fairy you always admired, âRyota-kun! Whereâ Where are you?!â
Falling into your knees just by the river, you sadly looked at the river as tears started to fall. Not only because you couldnât see him anymore, but also because at some point, you had failed to fulfill his promise once more. âRyota-kunâŚâ
Standing on the river before you, the silver-haired water fairy looks at you with a sad smile as he kneels down and brings his hand to wipe your tears, âDonât cry, [Name]. Iâm right here.â
Feeling a small - almost faint - gesture, your eyes widened; still unable to see him, you cried out in desperation and slight hope that he was there with you, âRyota-kunâŚ. Ryota-kunâŚ!âÂ
Ryota tries not to cry as he reminds himself that this was often normal to humans. âShhh⌠Itâs okay, [Name]. Iâm here, Iâm here.â he knew that you couldnât hear him, yet he still said it. He brings his hands to rest on top of yours and he rests his forehead on yours, his touches no longer felt by you, and whispers once more as a lone tear escapes from his eye, âIâm here.â
...we apologize if you guys werenât expecting any angst.
but we hope you guys enjoyed it nonetheless!
