#i try to keep nicknames to what kaede would name them :)

[savageboar]

[dragbunart]

My BIGGEST complaint about V3 is that Tsumugi broke one of the biggest rules "Only the Blackened Dies" Junko does it too but Makoto still LIVED

Which is why I have so many Kaede's Alive Au's

Welcome to Amnesiac!Kaede. (As per usuall with my Aus: The V3 cast DID actually go to hopepeak with the other classes, they are 77-C and Kaede's a kuzuryu thanks bye)

The Shock from her 'Exicution' cause Kaede to lose her memory.

She wakes up in a Future Foundation Hospital after they see a Monokuma leaving her in front of a Remnant's territory *cough* Fuyuhiko and Pekos *cough*

She's taken in and cared for, but no one knows who she is or why the monokuma didn't just kill her. And Kaede herself doesn't remember much, not even her name.

This flies under the radar for a LONG time, enough for all the other Killing Games to finish.

The v3 survivors are working for Future Foundation in different roles, but they are also searching for the living relatives of the Victims from the game. To let them know what happened and that (most) the participants were victims of circumstance (with notable exceptions).

When they find a genetic match to one of the 'Participants' they will set up a meeting with the individual to see if they actually knew the person and if they did, let them know what happened.

Here comes the confusion and issue.

At first the only people who show up with Kaede's genetic matches are the Kuzuryu's. All three are confused until they get in contact with Fuyuhiko. Fuyuhiko explains that... Yes Kaede's his sister, in fact she was Natsumi's OLDER twin, but due to a BUNCH of reasons used a different last name.

He's heartbroken, but not surprised to hear Kaede died. He's pissed to find out Kaede was actually INNOCENT and got executed. It takes multiple people to calm him down.

Then months later as the whole FF KG thing calms down all the Hospital information is coming through and suddenly. Kaede has another match.

An Amnesiac Patient at a small FF hospital.

Obviously, Shuichi (as the person most invested in Kaede from V3's kg) is on the team sent to interview her. And she's a dead ringer for the Pianist.

If Shuichi didn't know that Kaede's twin was a non-identical twin (and dead) he'd think that THIS woman was Kaede's twin. but he has to keep that a secret from her.

After testing her DNA the Match is 100% leaving EVERYONE confused so Kaede of course asks the question "Did you know me?" because the Hospital explained that's why someone like Shuichi would come there.

Is conflicted because one hand, this seems to be Kaede, on the Other. He's already dealt with the grief of believing Kaede's dead, and this Kaede doesn't remember ANYTHING.

Ultimately he admits to having been her friend... And admitting she went through something terrible.

When he brings her back to FF HQ there's talk of what to do with her. Does she stay at an FF facility to try and help her remember everything? Or do they ship her off to Jabberwok to be in the care of her only living family?

Shuichi wants to stay with her but understands right now he's a stranger to her.

Finally, during a video call, she somewhat recognizes Fuyuhiko, calling him nicknames like 'Fuyu' and 'Big-bro'. That settles it.

But when she's about to board the boat she pauses and turns back to Shuichi.

"I'm glad I finally got to see you without your hat." Shuichi nearly falls over at the look of familiarity in her eyes. "When I remember everything, I'll come back. Promise."

(OUTDATED DESIGN)

The mother/head of the Chiba household. I wanted to keep Toshiko's old weapons even though she's no longer part of the same story, so I gave them to kaede with just different coloring

Info below:

Name: Kaede Chiba (First name means Maple tree)

Nicknames: Eda-chan (Ryoushi)

Age: 53

Height: 168 cm

A former Assassin/demon hunter guild member which specializes in eliminating cults and other dangerous groups trying to harm people by summoning dangerous demonic beings.

Role: retired mother running a farm with her family.

Family: Son Shou, Daughter Akiko, adoptive sons Milo & Silas, husband Ryoushi

Love interest: Ryoushi, her husband

Friends: Shura (a spirit being), Shika (A chimera healer), Erena (priestess in a water-based healing temple) The Murasaki siblings & their cousin from the Kureshima bathhouse.

Powers:

Like you'd expect from a pro like her, Kaede’s got pro stealth skills, ability to use blades and throwing knives, and is very acrobatic despite her age. She's also well versed in Judo, Karate and Kendo specifically.

She has an excellent understanding of different types of magic seals and traps, and knows how to diffuse/open/neutralize them.

 Her main spell out of those taught to everybody in her guild (Invisibility, levitation, sleep inducing spell) is levitation, she can hover for long periods of time and even glide quite the long distances, up to 5 miles.

Kaede is very famous for her insanely fast reflexes, able to dodge super fast flying projectiles or deflect them. She's also quite physically strong, able to haul logs over her shoulder with ease for example.

Weaknesses:

She's older and not as fast/strong as she used to be, often getting her bad stuck for straining herself too much. She also has a bad habit of working too hard and thus often injuring herself. She's kind of rowdy and can sometimes annoy other villagers, especially when drunk.

Personality:

She is a relaxed and easy-going person, although she never lost her wit and always keeps an eye out for danger, being cautious about what she shares with whom. Among the family she is the most practical person, most in-touch with both her emotions and logic.

She is willing to go very far to protect her family, even ready to make difficult choices such as sacrifice herself for their sake, though so far they've managed to prevent her from doing something stupid like that needlessly.

BG story:

Kaede was a part of a specialized Assassin/Thief guild that specialized in working together with Demon Hunters and aiding them in defeating such threats, typically handling the human side of things (eliminating crazy occultists trying to summon stuff for example)

She was partnered with the Demon hunter Ryoushi, namely to balance out his more idealistic, emotion driven tendencies with her down-to-earth logical side. This overtime resulted in the two developing a close-knit bond that eventually turned romantic. Once Kaede became pregnant. Then, after a very traumatic and near-death experience with Ryoushi, that their eldest unfortunately witnessed, the pair decided to retire from their jobs for the most part focusing on raising their children and running Ryoushi's family farm. They do still act as guardians for their home village, but are no longer considered active hunters.

Fun facts:

Kaede is Bi like her husband, and they both sometimes talk about their crushes when drunk, both men and women.

She tends to like her food extra spicy

Her other eye was blinded during the incident their poor son saw, where Ryoushi got possessed briefly and almost died.

Milo, their other adoptive son, is close with her, because her also having an eye-patch made him feel bit less alone with his gnarly scar.

Her japanese voice claim would probably be Tsunade from Naruto, and Eda from The owl House for english.

She often argues with Akiko about her desire to become a demon hunter, because she knows first hand how dangerous the job is, and doesn't really want her children going through the same trauma. (They already traumatized their poor son by accident)

[asmolboy]

OK but what if Kokichi trusted Shuichi enough to in secret tell him his plan and they worked together? + saiouma platonic or romantic is your preference

After Kaede's execution Shuichi is stunned and torn apart. He has Kaito still but a sense of safety is gone and desperation starts to set in, can he even trust Kaito? Who can he trust?

Then Kokichi goes to him when it is late and most are asleep or otherwise not looking to them, "want to help me stop this killing game?" Kokichi asks him his voice low and calm, calculating even. "what?" Shuichi looks at him shocked who was this new person? Kokichi takes him aside to a completely private area.

"I have a plan to end this killing game. I need help and Kaito isn't going to do jack shit to help in the slightest because of his hero complex and everyone else is sketchy right now." he continues to explain but Shuichi silences him, "how can I help?"

And so their alliance began, they would help each other and watch out for each other behind the scenes while pretending to hate each other. It is so far perfect and going smoothly. As more deaths go on and happen Kokichi starts amping up his villian persona more and more in an attempt to hide his true feelings. The lies get bigger, more risky and more insane to the point that Miu decides to try kill him.

Of course he saw through it and tells Shuichi the next time they meet that night. "Miu is going to try and kill me. I might not be able to execute my plan to manipulate another into killing her before she kills me." Shuichi nods listening closely and looking around cautiously, "if that ends up happening I want you to do the plan on your own-" "wait what?!?" he screams before both he and Kokichi slap a hand or two on his mouth shushing him.

"I know it's bat shit insane I get it but it'll be our only option if I die. I hate that it might come to that but please do it if it happens OK?" he uncovers Shuichi's mouth who only nods a bit silently.

Kokichi ends up being able to convince someone to kill Miu and goes full villian persona scaring everyone extremely expect Shuichi who was expecting it. As it continues on Shuichi ends up putting himself more and more into the plan now that Kokichi is full villian and everyone at that point trusts him.

By the time that Maki tries to kill Kokichi tho Shuichi breaks the plan running at full speed to shield him taking hold of him, "please don't kill him!" he screams at her holding Kokichi close despite the poison going through his veins. "Saihara what the fuck is this?! I thought you hated him more than anyone else here!" Maki is shocked and Kaito runs to get an antidote, Shuichi smiles laughing a bit mirroring Kokichi.

"it's a lie!"

It doesn't take long for the last part of the falling apart plan Kokichi gets him successfully to the location where Kokichi would die but Shuichi is starting to resist against it refusing to kill him. “Shumai. I know this is going to be hard for you but listen we’ll be able to save everyone else from this living nightmare.” Shuichi starts breaking down crying, “but-but Mochi that’ll mean I’d loose you. Like I did Kaede I'll be all alone you're the only one here I can trust and-and..." Kokichi pulls him into a hug holding him close, "you won't be alone Shumai. It's not like Kaede's death she made a mistake and died while being full of despair. I am actively doing this for the rest of the group."

As they talk trying to work off the nerves they don't know that someone else is listening. Quickly Kiibo goes and gets the remaining members of the class as Kokichi is on the hydraulic press. Kaito restrains Shuichi with little effort from pressing the button to activate it Shuichi just letting it happen being highly distressed by having to do the action via the plan.

Kokichi is also restrained and put into a separate room as they start interrogating Shuichi who clams up refusing to speak. In guilt or fear they can't tell. When Kaito mentions asking Kokichi Shuichi snaps out begging them not to hurt him breaking down more in extreme distress trying to get out of the binds they put on him to keep him from attacking them.

The begging is loud enough for Kokichi to hear and be motivated to try and help him getting out of his own binds and running to get to Shuichi. Freeing him and holding him close to his chest as they both cry Kokichi telling Shuichi calm comforting things in his and collected voice.

"I don't want to do the plan any more Mochi I-I can't do it..." "I know Shumai I shouldn't of pushed your limits I'm sorry." he runs his hand through his hair petting his back, "I can't-I can't loose you... Kokichi I can't...." he wheezes in panicked breathes, "Shuichi look at me I'm still here. It didn't work out. Please breath it's all OK."

The rest of the group is stunned silent as they do this Kiibo even finding it most appropriate to leave deeming it more of a private matter. Once Shuichi is calmed down he still refuses to explain what they were fully planning as to not wanting to betray Kokichi’s trust and also showing where his loyalty is in a way to them all. Most of the class is shocked or appears to be betrayed. 

“Shumai you can just tell them. Remember what I told you.” Kokichi sighed putting a hand Shuichi’s shoulder “Go with the majority it’s safer” "exactly so please just once go against someone you care for."

Shuichi explains their plan as Kokichi leaves smiling weakly. Shuichi doesn't notice at first but when he's done explaining he notices and suddenly has the object permanence of a toddler as he freaks out running around in a attempt to find him before he does something rash. Kaito follows him trying to help him find Kokichi but they both don't succeed leaving Shuichi to call out to Kokichi with every name and nickname they have for each other in a slightly begging way even.

He passes out from the strain on his body and mind. By the time he wakes up his mind has cut out the whole day's events and is only confused by Kokichi or Kaito not being there to wake him up or greet him. When he asks Kiibo what is up with them Kiibo can't exactly tell him as he was forbidden from doing so by everyone else. Shuichi doesn't stop going to Himiko and Maki asking them but they seem hesitant when they say that they are just hanging out somewhere.

He ends up finding out that he can't seem to find Tsumugi to ask her if she knows and Himiko ends up snapping telling him that Kaito and Kokichi continued the plan and did indeed find the master mind. At the cost of their lives. The news hits Shuichi like a bus as the rest of them try to comfort him now knowing how close he was to both of them.

He can't take it and runs to where they planned to let Kokichi die and sees that it wasn't a lie. He was dead, gone. As Shuichi goes to it he finds Kokichi's scarf and a small note.

"Sorry I had to leave you behind. Don't forget about me my beloved Shumai. - your supreme leader Mochi"

Sakuta Azusagawa x Reader Headcannons

Author’s Note: HIIII, so I noticed the lack of Sakuta stuff ( And Bunny Girl Senpai stuff in general), and I decided to singlehandedly write the first Sakuta X reader. Ur welcome hehe. But if you do decide to read, thank you. and likes and reblogs are always appreciated! Mwah! PSSSt, I also write for other characters if you have a request!!!

literally can’t keep his hands off of you

he’s either holding your hand, interlocking pinkies, an arm around your shoulders, an arm around your hips

YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE IS NON STOP HORNY JOKES

he pats his lap teasingly in public for you to “sit down”

Sakuta always know exactly what to say to get you all flustered

SKIRTS SKIRT SKIRTS, GOD HE LOVES YOU IN SKIRTS, LIKE AWOOGA AWOOGA

like you could be going up stairs and he’ll tease you, and ‘look up your skirt’, “Y/N, i like your panty color today. It suits you.”

Sakuta gets randomly mushy gushy out of the blue

“If you keep pouting like that, Sakuta, Your face will get stuck like that.” You teased.

His pouting bottom lip seem to spread into a soft smile. He went quiet for a few seconds as he stared at you, just taking in all your features, “You are the most beautiful girl i’ve ever laid my eyes on.”

His favorite thing about you is surprisingly not horny. he loves your laugh, the sound just gives him so much giddiness

SPONTANEOUS DATES LITERALLY, like out of the blue he’ll call you and be like “I’ll meet you at the cafe down the corner at 5?” and before you can ever respond, THIS BASTARD HANGS UP

Kaede LOVES LOVES LOVES YOU, although it took a while for her to warm up to you. it took a lot of one sided conversations on pandas, big brother, and showering her in gifts the best you could. And surprisingly, she seemed to adore the smaller and cheaper gifts. like you bought her a small windup toy, and it just melted your heart the way her eyes lit up.

stargazing dates. laying across a blanket next to each other, hands interlocked.

during stargazing dates is when you both have the best conversations

“Are you really gonna marry me?”

Sakuta would let out a small chuckle, “That’s an obvious question. I think you already know the answer, Y/N.”

You guys aren’t really into all those disgustingly cute nicknames because as Sakuta says “Why call you by a different name if the one you have is already pretty.”

he is on the more chill side, like he doesn’t get jealous over little stuff, but BOY OH BOY HE WILL PICK A FIGHT WHEN HE KNOWS THE OTHER DUDE DESERVES IT, LIKE HE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE A PUNCH AND KEEP SWINGING( because he’s a stubborn bastard) but he rarely wins using only brute force, he has that brain power y’know

he likes it when you nurse him, like when he’s sick or cuts himself, he said “Erotic nurse roleplays have always been a dream of mine.” which either results in blushing or eye rolls from you

when u are nursing him, he likes to fake more injuries, “Nurse Y/N, my face hurtssssss.” He would call out, “Cant you come kiss it better?”

Sakuta “Heart Eyes” Azusagawa

he literally admires you too much, like too often you’ll catch him looking at you

his favorite cuddling position is him laying down on his back, as you snuggle up into his side

his absolute favorite way of physical touch is kissing, he can’t get enough of your lips, LITERALLY NONSTOP KISSING

you could be minding your business cleaning, cooking, studying, HERES THIS BOY COMES LEANING OVER AND MWAH. it startles you sometimes

y’all can both do your own independent things yet still you both know that you have each other’s back always

literally the most supportive couple, like he’ll visit you at ur sports games, ur performances, he’ll admire your art, be proud of your grades, LIKE WAHTEVER, SAKUTA WILL BE THERE AND BE YOUR BIGGEST FAN. he’ll admire you and whisper under his breath “that’s my girlfriend.” in a starstruck tone.

you visit him a lot at work and he finds it absolutely adorable. It makes his long hours at work all worth it

Sakuta says you have a very sweet scent and Sakuta smells like mint for some reason

if you ever lay ur head onto his shoulder, HE WILL FIND IT SO CUTE because both literally and figuratively he is someone you can lean on y’know

his favorite date ideas are definitely ones where it’s just you two alone. like watching the city’s lights, at the beach together as the sunsets, a movie night alone (without kaede trying to sit in the middle of you two)

he likes it when u play with his hair, like running your fingers through it and twisting it in ur fingers. it makes him all sleepy

you see how hardworking and motivated Sakuta is in taking care of his sister, maintaining good grades, working at Benny’s, trying to keep his home tidy, and when you come over to help, it makes him realize that he finally has someone to help. someone there for him.

you’ve helped make him more open. he was so used to bottling up his emotions, but when you came into his life, he wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable around you

Sakuta was so used to having to be the one people relied on, but with you, he felt truly cared for. when things got too tough, his parents left. when the hospital incident happen, he became an outcast. Yet with you, you are there for him, like truly there. always there, and he wouldn’t change you for the world. 

despite all of the female acquaintances Sakuta has, he reassures you that you’re the only one for him.

“Y/N L/N. I DECLARE MY LOVE FOR YOU BLOOMS BRIGHTER THAN A SWEET TULIP ON A SUNNY SPRING DAY! I COULD NEVER FALL IN LOVE DEEPER WITH ANYON-“ , Your hand slaps over his mouth in a flustered panic.

he definitely plays footsies with you under the dinner table

When you have a cold or flu, He thinks it’s the absolute worse since he can’t kiss because it’s contagious. he nurses you, cooks soup, wears an apron that says “kiss the cook”, and just is around. like he’ll stay by your bed until you’re sleeping. and he’ll admire your peaceful face before going home.

you tend to wake up before him and he’s such a HEAVY SLEEPER, but he’s caught you admiring him while he’s slept before

Sakuta’s eyes slowly peeped open, “Pervert. Watching me sleep, are you? Basking in my beauty, hm?”

he really likes winter because it gives him an extra excuse to hold you tight

your first kiss was accidental but it was SO CUTE, like you leaned in for a cheek kiss, and Sakuta “coincidentally” turn his face to the side. and to this day you still don’t know if Sakuta turned his face on purpose or accident

plesse pepper this boy’s face in kisses (especially when you haven’t seen each other in a while)

when you guys argue he’s usually one to give you the silent treatment, yet it does last long as he gives in and apologizes quickly

OKI NOW FOR THE SPICY STUFF MWAHAHAHA! look away,children

HAIR PULLING, PULL THIS BOY’S BROWN MESSY LOCKS

of course he likes erotic costumes duh.

would definitely make you strip infront of him

he compliments your body a lot, like he’ll pull back from making out just to mutter something against your lips about how hot you are

SIT ON HIS LAP, HE LOVES IT

hands will always be on your hips

he is more a boobs guy. he likes them especially when they’re all bouncy

Sakuta is surprisingly not that sloppy when making out, he likes to be take control and keep his hands around your hips, and pull you in close by them

pull out game: WEAK

his sex drive it so high, plesse help the man

overall this bastard loves you to death, through thick and thin, through fluffy and horny, he loves you. and you make him so happy

[yn-dreamlife]

Our Princess

Ok so like I don't know if ya’ll have seen the interview or whe=atever where BTS dresses up as Princes and then proceed to like kiss each other on the cheek and stuff but imagine like you're there and they dress you up as a princess and like.... yeah. (Heres the interview if you haven't seen it)

BTS x reader (OT7 x reader)

Genre: fluff

Warnings: fluff, low-key smut/lemon, mentions of smut, cuteness, nicknames, eventual shy reader use of the word daddy/daddies (like once)

Images not mine just found them on the internet but I did make the collage.

As I sneak into the back of the building I have to stifle a gleeful giggle at the sound of my boyfriends laughter. I can tell at this moment its Namjoon and Taehyng laughing and my heart swells at the thought of them. 

I truly am blessed to have such seven amazing boyfriends. And im blessed to have a friend who's willing to sneak me into this interview, of course I could have just told them the truth and come with them but this would be better. 

I just got back from my world tour and while most of it they where with me the last month (give or take) they had to return home. They called me to ask when I would be home and when I heard they where having an interview at the place my friend works I quickly lied so I could surprise them. 

They’ve done it to me tons of times before, it’s only fair I get to do the same. And hey if this happens to be how we officially tell the fans we’re together then I’m okay with that. Sadly im not actually sure what this interview is and y/f/n wouldn't tell me. 

“y/f/n!” I groan as she drags me away from where my feet were already carrying me. 

“Sorry y/n/n but I gotta get you in the proper attire first.” She says winking. 

I look at her suspiciously “you’re not sending me out in lingerie or some shit right?” She sputters before quickly yelling at me in a hushed whisper how they don't do that here and I couldn't help but chuckle, “just checking.” 

She rolls her eyes pushing me into a room and locking the door behind us, sometimes the boys need to leave an interview during break just to be alone and it would ruin the surprise of me being here if one barged in. 

As I finally look around I gape at the big ball gown right in the center. “Woah! What lucky duck gets to where that?!” I gasp admiring the beautiful dark blue dress. 

“You” She states like its a simple fact like humans need to breathe. 

“M-me- What?!” I look at her dumb founded and she just smiles. 

“Mmmhmmm!” She hum happily pulling it off the mannequin. I waste no time undressing and quickly putting the dress on before she changes her mind or something. 

I feel giddy as the dress slides on my body. “y-y/f/n” I stutter out staring at myself in the mirror as she quickly applies some makeup and puts my hair up in an elegant updo. 

“Hmm?” she hums.

“I look-” You pause truly speechless. 

“Absolutely amazing?” You nod silently, “of course you do! With me as your stylist where could you go wrong?!” She chirps happily as she looks at her watch. 

“Are we to late? Did this take to long?!” I ask worried trying to ignore my growing disappointment. 

“What?! No! Just trying to see if they’re all dressed and ready. You’re going to be the last one to go as our surprise guest.... and it looks like its time!” She says as her phone chimes. 

I stand up hands sweaty so I wipe them on a towel. “Wont they see me as I enter?” 

She shakes her head, “no they’ll be turned around and blindfolded incase someone tries to peak.” She says winking, “oh and you will be too!”

“What?!” I exclaim shocked.

“Yep... haha kinda for the whole beginning half.” she says scratching the back of her neck. 

“W-wha -why?!” I asked in a hush voice as she leads me out of the room. 

“You’ll see.” She whispers placing a silky blindfold carefully on my face, not tight enough to ruin my makeup. I sigh as we continue walking.

“Alright boys! Are you guys excited?!” y/f/n asks excitedly. she whispers for you to sit back and you do so carefully. 

“Yes!” Jungkook says excitedly. “I want to see this mysterious beautiful princess!” I can hear the smile in his voice and ignore the slight ache. ‘He’s doin it for the fans, they dint know about us yet.’ I remind myself. 

“May I ask a question?” I hear Namjoon ask. 

“Of course!” y/f/n says. 

“How old is this princess?” He asks I assume I’m supposed to answer but a hand is slapped over my mouth before I can do so. 

“She’s around all of your age!” she says quickly as Namjoon hums thoughtfully. You nod remebering they don't know its you yet. 

“Can I please please please take the blindfold off now?!” I hear Hoseok asks and I almost ‘aww’ at him but I refrain. 

“No.” y/f/n, states simply. “-First” she says cutting of there groans of frustration. “I want you to guess who it is.” She says, “Or who you hope for it to be.” 

“Papa Mochi!” I hear Jimin cheer happily and I almost bust out laughing but I quickly cover my mouth. 

“That’s a guy!” y/f/n says exasperated like she's heard this all day. 

“fine!” he groans, “ummm Kumiko!” Jimin says.

“Is that just a random person?” She asks and when I don't hear anything but a sigh from her I  assume he just shrugged. I shake my head smiling as I listen to a bunch of random names leave there lips. 

“Kaede” I hear Namjoon next.  

“Iva” Jungkook says

“Koge” Jin spoke next. 

Now it was Hobis turn “Rai”

Taehyng waited a second before also replying, “Risako”

“Ishi” Yoongi speaks calmly. 

“What do you all just have a random store of names in your head?!” Y/f/n asks exasperated. I can hear the smirk in her voice when she speaks next, “Surprised none you said your best friends name.”

“She’s still on tour.” Tae says rather roughly. 

“Calm,” Namjoon whispers but I still caught it, ‘just how close to them am I?’ I wonder reaching my hand out only to meet the fabric of someones shirt. 

“Wah!” He exclaims and I recognize it as Taehyung. ‘So I’m very close.’ I think  to myself. “Uh thanks...” he mutters moving his shoulder away. ‘cute.’ I think. 

“Jeez sore subject haha sorry folks,” she pauses and clears her throat before continuing. “Anywho go ahead and take off the blindfolds!” She says and as I go to reach for my own a hand on my wrists stops me. 

“Not you m-lady.” She says in a fake accent. I hit her hand away pouting. 

‘Lame.’ I think to myself bitterly. 

“If she can't see us why is it fair we get to see her?” Yoongi questioned. ‘Thank you!’ I thought exasperated. She groans. 

“ugh! fine! Party pooper, you can keep your mask on too!” She chirps and my shoulders sag, ‘so much for that.’ 

“Fine” he says and I can hear him sit back down. I hear the others collectively gasp as I assume they remove there masks. 

“What? Who is it?” Namjoon speaks this time, ‘so he kept his blindfold on too.’

“You two are gonna wanna see this!” I hear Jungkook say and I can hear the grin in his voice. It makes me smile and I wave shyly biting my lip. 

“Y-Y/n?!” I hear them both exclaim. My grin widens. 

“Y/f/n get this damn blindfold off me I want to see my bo-” I cut myself off, “My boys!” I say in a rush. She groans

“Okay but you'll have to wear it again for one of our games.” She states matter-o-factly. I Quickly rip it off and my smile gets impossibly larger as I see them all standing there. 

“Look at all of you!” I say grinning as I stare at all of them in there prince outfits. A noticeable warmth spreading to my cheeks, ‘shit they look really good.’ 

Before I can think more on how amazing they look I am quickly picked up and spun around by Namjoon. I laugh gleefully as he does so, me and him spent the least amount of time together on FaceTime over the past few weeks sadly, both busy at the wrong times. But that doesn't mean we didnt catch each other eventually. 

“Why didnt you tell us you where coming?” Jimin asks swiping in as soon as joon set me down to hug me and the rest of the boys followed. 

“To surprise you of course!” I say grabbing Yoongis cold hand as he pulls away. 

“Well it worked!” kook exclaimed.

“Yeah this is almost as good as papa mocha right jimin-ah?” Hobbi says nudging him. 

“Hey don't be like that!” He says as he stares at me helplessly. I laugh at this. 

“No, no I think chim would have preferred Papa Mocha right Jin?” I say looking at the handsome man. 

He smirks, “I dunno... maybe” I laugh bending over slightly as I do so missing the way all there yes where trained on me. 

“Alrght alright, enough of the gooey best-friend stuff!” y/f/n says. “We’re gonna take a break to give you seven time to prepare and poor y/n here time to enjoy herself before our next game.” she says about to walk away. 

“Wait! Whats the next game?!” I ask. 

“You’ll see.” As the cameras are turned off we are all sent away, the boys walk with my to ‘my room’ but we all know cameras where there to catch what would be said and whatnot so we stopped in the middle of both and I turned to all of them smiling widely. 

“You should have told us!” Taehyng grumbles as he clings onto you from behind nuzzling his head into your neck. 

“If I did that I wouldn't have been able to see you get all angry at the thought of me being away any longer.” I said bopping his nose and his own cheeks reddened. 

“Oh yeah, guess you heard that huh?” I make a mhm sound and he hides further in my neck as I giggle. 

“So kookie was I pretty enough to be worth it? Was I a good enough mysetery beauty princess?” I ask, he bends down cupping my cheek, “The only one who fits the bill,” he whispers placing a kiss on my lips. 

“Hey knock it off!” I say as a blush creeps its way onto my cheeks. They all laugh at that. 

We go to our own rooms and I sit waiting impatiently. Ten or so minutes later y/f/n comes back and pulls me into the room again and sits me back in the chair. 

“Okay so our next game is called... drumroll please!” All the boys smack there hands on there thighs, “Blush-rush!” She declares. 

“What?! Oh no!” I say exasperated “grrr curse you y/f/n!” I say shaking my fist at her as the boys laugh. 

“Yeah yeah thats the witches job not yours m-lady.” I scoff. “Ok! theres two rounds! One action round and one verbal round! y/n sets the boundaries, and you boys follow them but otherwise your good. Your goal? Make y/n blush as long and as deeply as possible.” She says looking to you to set the rules. 

“Ok obviously you boys know the no-no squares.” You say simply and they all chuckle nodding. “Okay, uhhhh I guess..Oh! No yelling in my ear!” You glare at Jungkook then remembering when you where still best friends and he screamed in your ear to wake you up, while acting out how he would wake his future girlfriend. 

He holds his hand up defensively and I shake my head at him smiling. “I don't know! You guys know me, so you know whats to far!” I said shrugging. They all nodded smiling, they know old boundaries of when we where trying to hide it from the fans are off the table, we’ve seen the theories and there isn't any negativity towards them so we figured why not.

If it comes out it comes out, if not then thats okay to. We’re happy ether way, it was a group decision. 

“Alrighty then lets get going!” She says smiling. “Boys pick which one you do first-” she gets cut off by an enthusiastic Namjoon. 

“Words!” He says quickly and all the boys quickly nod in agreement. I can't help but laugh. 

“Alrighty then y/n back on with the blindfold.” I groan but put it on anyways. 

it’s a long moment of silence before I hear anything at all, quickly thoughts of being alone flood into my mind but are quickly washed away by someones breathe hot on my ear. 

“Baby girl,” Instantly I recognize Jin, “you should have told us you where coming, we could have welcomed you home properly.” my eyes widen beneath my mask knowing full well what usually happens when we reunite. 

I clear my throat trying to avoid the blush on my cheeks. “Don't try to hide it princess,” Namjoon says his voice deep and on my other side, I can feel the warmth from the two bodies next to me. “You always react so well, such a beautiful blush.” 

This time I can't stop my cheeks from turning pink. “Little one~” It’s Jungkook, completely different from the excited adorable one who just minutes ago was excited to see a mysterious princess “doing so good, you’ve barely blushed so far.” He purrs but then chuckles deeply “Or you weren't blushing.” I groan slightly as I shift in my seat. 

‘Damnit only three of them have-’ “Hello Kitten,” ‘Yoongi, shit’. “Look at you, don't you look so pretty?” He says and I know if he could he would run his hands threw my hair right now. 

“Hello my little flower,” I hear another voice right next to my ear, ‘hello hobi’ I chuckle. “Something funny? Or you just like the way we’re making you feel?” I don't answer and he just chuckles at that. 

“Hello my little angel~” Jimin practically purrs into my ear just like Yoongi. “I love your dress, it would look better on my bedroom floor though, don't you think?” I try to shake off his words but of course the blush continues to grow.

I know who has to be coming next and I’m not surprised when I hear his deep voice, “Hi baby, are you happy to be surrounded by your daddies?” He whispers in my ear and by now the blush has moved down my necks and up to my ears. 

“Yes how are-” Jin gets cut off by y/f/n. 

“Alright alright!” She cuts in, “jeez guys I said make her blush, not kill her... you seven jeesh.” She pulls the blindfold off and I look up to see all seven of them around me smirks on there faces. 

‘uh-oh’ I look down not able to stare at them any longer, its to much I’m already warm enough. I didnt think they would be so.... suggestive. 

They chuckle as they see my cheeks warming up again. “I have to go cool off in the bathroom!” I say quickly standing up and moving to the hallway. I lean against a wall breathing deeply. 

“Damn you.” I sigh as I cover my face, even the after thought makes me blush.

“y/n?” I hear y/f/n, I look up at her smiling softly. “We can't make it a silent part, no one would no what they said and we all sign privacy policy contracts.” She said seriously. 

“Oh it’s fine I just was shocked really,” I huff out a laugh, “but lets make it silent, I want to see what our fans come up with.” She grins nodding. 

I go back out smiling reassuringly at the boys who all relax visibly. I sit back in the seat preparing myself for the next round. I breathe deeply as y/f/n gives the all clear as I watch Hobi approach. 

Truth be told I don't know what I was expecting but I wasn't expecting him to just sand in-front of me forcing eye contact, thats for sure. So when it got to be to much I quickly looked away, and thats how I knew I fell into the trap. His finger making its way under my chin to turn my face towards him as he leans in closer. 

And just when I think he might kiss me he pulls way smirking and I purse my lips to prevent a smile. So caught up in the moment I didn't realize Yoongi slipped behind me until I felt his hands move down my exposed shoulders only to go back up and move towards my collar bones. Goosebumps forming on my heated flesh. 

He drew his hands away drawing them close to my throat. Jimin also comes up not hesitating to move his hand from my cheek to my neck where he hovers placing slight pressure from his finger tips almost like from one of the first few videos he took of my where instead of doing the face smooshy thing he went and choked me. 

I know my face is beat red by now but there is still four more to go. I smile as Jungkook comes up to me, he wouldn't do anything to bad- I’m instantly proven wrong as his arms go around my middle, feather light touches moving over my sides the same way he does when I’m blindfolded and- ‘nope! don't go there then you WILL blush more!’ He smirks triumphantly knowing that was enough. 

Taehyung is much more.... pg I suppose as he peppers my face with kisses repeatedly, but I realize that that he was just to prepare me for when Namjoon sneaks up behind my sticking his face in my neck. He is sure to hide what exactly he’s doing by his position but I feel his lips moving up and down my neck going to the spot by my ear. 

Jin is the last, and what he does is simple but effective. He simply takes me off the chair and places me right onto his lap, and of course once again by now my face is beet red and they’ve surely beaten me since Hobi, but it was more fun to let them all go. 

After that the interview was basically done we stayed for about an hour more before we all decided to drive home. I was in my car with just Jungkook and Namjoon while the others went in there car. Im sitting in the back in Namjoon’s lap, yes there was a perfectly good seat beside him but honestly neither one of them cared and I loved the contact. 

We where stopped at a stop light the conversation at a comfortable silence when I spoke up. “You guys where very... open.” I say as I hide my face in Joons neck. he chuckles his hands moving up and down my back. 

“What can we say, not seeing you for, what a month? Add onto that the opportunity to publicly do anything we want with you, well we have to do everything we can.” he said smirking squeezing my hips. 

“Well not everything.” Jungkook says winking in the rear view mirror and once again I blush as a giggle leaves my lips. 

It’s a week later when I go onto youtube and find the latest conspiracy video for the eight of us shockingly. It’s videos of us over the whole time we had been dating, proof of the long time relationship. I smile as I show the boys and we reminisce on the old videos. 

I decide to post a picture on my instagram from the interview, one of the seven of them in there costumes and then one of me with each of them alone, namjoons was one of my favorites, not that I didnt love them all of them but one of the camera men caught the moment he picked me up and spun me around and I knew I would always treasure it. I put the caption, “My princes.” 

Seeing this they put a picture on there official insta saying “Our princess.” No one truly asked any questions, they all just knew. The comments where filled with friends saying finally, and fans agreeing saying how happy they where. And we where too. We truly would have a happily ever after. 

Hey guys my request an taglist’s are always open! Thank you!

[princesskokichi]

korekiyo, kokichi, rantaro, byakuya, and shuichi with a crush who messes up their name

this is such a pure ask and i am in love with it

literally this was so much fun to write omg thank you !!! - mod kokichi

[ K O R E K I Y O ]

- you,, you usually refrained from saying anyone's name, but especially korekiyo's

- if you could get away with it, you'd just find a way to avoid it all together

- it wasn't because you felt like you would be cursed if you said his name ! or anything like that !

- you were just,, slightly afraid to say his name

- because you, well, you couldn't remember it very well. you were kind of bad with all names.

- and you didn't want him to feel like you were insulting him when you say the wrong name, so you just don't, to solve the problem

- but, ah, eventually the procrastinator has to get the work done eventually, and every plan fails at some point

- you were hanging out with korekiyo at the library, talking about the mummification process that the ancient egyptians used

- he was sitting at the table closest to the bookshelf, his back turned to it as he read his book while idly chatting with you

- someone was on the ladder, messing around with the books ( this looks way too familiar,, oh no )

- you weren't paying much attention to them, figuring that they knew what they were doing

- sometime within a few minutes though, they misplaced a book, and it felt from the shelf, aimed straight for korekiyo

- s / o : " KONEKIRE, LOOK OUT ! "

- he didn't even notice the book, and it hit him square in the shoulder, but it didn’t look like was in pain from the book, but rather on whatever you just called him

- he just kind of stood there dumbfounded for a moment

- korekiyo : " what did you just call me ? "

- after that, he honestly gave you a lecture about how to remember names properly

- it lowkey makes him chuckle every time you get his name wrong, purely because he can't understand why you can't grasp his name

- he'd never tell y ou but the amount of research he's done about having a bad time remembering names is,, unfathomable

[ K O K I C H I ]

- he takes it as a joke to be honest ??

- it didn't register to him that this was a thing that you did to everyone

- and he'd get a little salty when he learns that it's not an inside joke and that it's just how you are with all names

- like, he thinks that you're trying to insult him every time you mistake his name for something else, so he often goes along with it and teases you for thinking that joke would work on him

- it was only until you once called him " kocookie " instead of kokichi that he lost his shit

- in your defense, you were together in the kitchen while kirumi and teruteru fought over who made the best food

- and you MEANT to say " kokichi, can you give me the cookies ? "

- but what you said was a little more jumbled, and made a lot less sense,,

- s / o : " kocookie, can you give me the ki -i ?? "

- you had stopped dead in your tracts, just feeling that there was no redemption from this

- kokichi : " kocookie ? you aren't even trying now, s / o ! seriously, think before you speak ! "

- s / o : " ,, hey, that was totally planned. it's your new nickname, kocookie. "

- kokichi : " well, it's a lame nickname ! give me a nickname that fits my personality ! "

- s / o : " koliar just doesn't sound as cute as kocookie, sorry. "

- yeah, he walked into that one, but he had this stupid grin on his face, so you knew he wasn't upset

- after that, you were only ever allowed to call him kocookie, or just cookie for short

- he would get seriously butthurt if you said any other name but that one, and would correct you a hundred times until you got it right

[ R A N T A R O ]

- he really tried to correct you for the first hundred times you missaid his name

- at first he thought it was because you were bad with names, and he'd politely remind you of his full name, just in case you actually thought that the way you incorrectly said was actually right

- and then he thought it might be because you try to speak too fast, so he'd warn you to slow down while talking

- he was so chill throughout your entire experience, and found it incredibly endearing

- he seriously felt like he was tutoring you like a mentor would his student

- s / o :  " ramtara - can you help me with this problem ? "

- rantaro : " i can, but that's not my name. "

- s / o : " i know ! i just, uh, i dunno. i got this. give me a second. sanrio ? "

- rantaro : " that's the company hello kitty is from, not my name. "

- s / o : " ah, yes, of course ! i was just joking. would you perhaps tell me what your name is ? just so, you know, i can tell that you know ! "

- rantaro : " it's rantaro amami. but you were close ! last time you called me ' megumi ', which is  a girl's name and not even close to my actual name, so you're getting closer ! "

- these little interactions would be almost daily, and he can't lie and say he doesn't enjoy it

- he finds that little quirk of yours incredibly cute, and would sometimes lightheartedly tease you about it softly whenever he felt like it

- he would eventually give up, however, and opt for a nickname

[ B Y A K U Y A ]

- mad bOOIII

- at first when you said his name wrong, like buyakuma or something stupid like that

- he had looked at you as if you were the scum of the earth and corrected you in a really snotty fashion

- that was before he realized he had a, uh, a ᶜʳᵘˢʰ on you

- ew, just saying that made him feel gross

- relationships and feelings were gross to him let's be honest

- but he did, indeed, have feelings for you, which is something that he couldn't deny to himself

- every time you would mess up his name after he recognized this thing that he considers a fault in him, he felt this weird feeling in his chest

- was he upset that you couldn't remember his name ? did he find it to be part of your charm ? did he think he was going crazy ? the last one was the only question he could answer with a yes for certain

- it's not like him to waste time on something useless, and by god he found correcting you to be useless, so he just let you do your thing

- a few times he would catch one of the people around you correct you, and you would gasp a little bit and nod eccentrically, stealing a few glances over at him as if you were trying to make sure he didn't notice

- he always pretended that he didn't see you, of course

- after a little while of this going on, he literally confronted you about it

- he had paid enough attention to see that you do this to everyone, but he was a little exasperated that you couldn't remember h i s name

- that ended with a bit of embarrassment on both sides, but that's a story for another time ;)

[ S H U I C H I ]

- he got so emo about it omg poor babieee

- literally

-  he was so convinced that you didn't like him

- you didn't even bother to remember his name, and it bothered him to no end

- he would confide in kaede, maki, and kaito about it

- they would all try to tell him that you were just like that, and that you made that mistake for everyone

- but stiiiiiill, why couldn't you remember his name ?

- he took it as almost a surefire sign that you didn't like him back

- after all, it didn't make sense to him that you would forget the name of someone you liked

- so when he got the message in his locker telling him to go to the empty classroom with some chocolates, he fell apart thinking about how he was going to have to reject someone because he wasn't interested in them, he was interested in you, and you weren't into him like that

- hopefully he would still be able to keep the chocolates,,

- during lunch, he snuck away from his friend group ( all who were aware of your plan, of course, but they couldn't tell him that )

- he walked around the school for a few moments, forcing himself to get the confidence to walk in there, profess his love to you so the person who liked him could understand he already had his heart set on someone else, and walk out of there

- it kinda worked out that way, too

- shuichi slammed open the door, and before it clicked who it was, shouted " i'm sorry, but i don't have feelings for you ! i like s / o ! "

- you stood there for a minute, waiting for him to realize who it was

- s / o : “ shuchia, what the - ? “

- that was,,, ,, that's a memory you'll never be able to forget. you'll definitely be telling your children that story one day

suitcase of memories, almost left behind

title: suitcase of memories, almost left behind fandom: Tiger and Bunny pairing: Barnaby/Kotetsu word count: 2890 summary: flung back and forth through time by a NEXT’s power, Kotetsu views memories of his past...but also of his future--a future with Barnaby?

For the March Flash fiction eleventh prompt: "You remembered?” and twelfth prompt: an anomalous time event

“Get away from me!” the NEXT, a middle-aged woman, screamed.

Kotetsu, hands raised in an attempt to show he meant no harm, tried to make a calming gesture. “Lady, ma’am, we’re not here to hurt you. We’re here to help.” He’d taken an right turn into the alleys, while Barnaby had swung left, and he could hear approaching footsteps. “Hey, hey, it’s all right. We know you haven’t done anything wrong. That power’s probably really surprising to you, yeah? Didn’t expect it to show up when you’re our age, right?”

The dark-haired woman continued to back away, eyes wide with fear, almost crying, “I don’t, I— I try to stop it but it keeps happening! Why won’t it stop?”

She’d backed into a dead end, the road cutting off between the back entrances of two shops, and Kotetsu tried to scoot just a bit closer, but as she backed away in response, she thumped against the wall behind her and startled, then gestured frantically at Kotetsu with a panicked shout.

A wall of invisible force slammed into him, and distantly he heard her yell, “Get away!” as he went flying, tumbling dizzily head over heels until he slammed hard into something with a crunch of metal and glass.

Head spinning, Kotetsu pushed himself upright only to jerk to a stop, mouth agape, as he stared around him. The alleys, the building, the car he’d no doubt crashed into, all of it was gone—and he was in a classroom, looking at himself, and Tomoe? They were high school aged, and she was in glasses, and the way the younger him was smirking at her, he’d no doubt just called her by that nickname she’d disliked so much—well, there’d been two, Ms.Class Rep and Ms. Glasses, and she’d gotten so annoyed at both. What the hell…? Wait, was this the first time he’d told her about wanting to be a Hero?

A blink, and suddenly he was at the factory where he’d fought Antonio, where he’d saved Tomoe from the fire, that time she’d decided his Hero name should Tiger—and where he’d first called her by her first name, even if she’d socked him hard in the stomach for doing so.

More scenes came them, like he was hopping from place to place, faster and faster. Their first date, when they’d moved in together, when they’d moved to Sternbild, their wedding day. When he was hired by Top MaG, the first time he officially acted as a Hero and appeared on Hero TV. Kotetsu covered his eyes, truly dizzy. It was like a slide show gone wild, like countless film reels were unspooling before his yes.

A weird hiccup noise, and everything paused. It was a sunny day by the hospital, and he saw himself helping Tomoe from the wheel chair the nurses had brought her down to the entrance in, nestling her carefully into the passenger seat of the car. Wait, wasn’t this—? Then he could see into the backseat of the vehicle, where an infant seat had been strapped in securely.  

“Kaede,” he murmured, tears springing to his eyes. She was so tiny. Could he hold her, just for a little bit?

But then like a snap, it was all gone, and he was flying through visions again: Kaede’s first word, the day she started to walk, the time he finally became King of Heroes, event after event, memory after memory—

And then suddenly he was falling—right into Barnaby Brooks Jr.’s arms. Or, the version of himself Kotetsu was watching did.

More and more followed—Kotetsu’s first day with the new company, that first day they were assigned to be partners; Barnaby saving Kaede, abruptly switching to when he saved Barnaby by jumping in front of Lunatic’s fire bolt; healing himself after the fight with Jake Martinez and racing to help Barnaby, arriving just in time to catch his partner as he nearly crumpled; the very first time Barnaby called him Kotetsu.

Then came the absolute agony of fighting with Barnaby, and he felt all over again the utter desolation when nothing he did brought back Barnaby’s memories of him, but also the overwhelming joy when calling him Bunny made his partner finally remember.

Kotetsu watched himself at the moment he’d realized how he felt about his partner, watched his own face as he was nearly overwhelmed by the intensity of his feelings, struggling by the immensity of it all. Then watched himself mentally box it up and stash it away after finding out about Maverick kidnapping Kaede and the other Heroes. He remembered thinking back then that he could wait to break down about it later—only to accept that there would be no later when he sacrificed himself to help Barnaby defeat the robot Wild Tiger, doing whatever was necessary to save the city, his daughter, his friends, the man he loved, even if it meant…. And then he saw himself inexplicably surviving, and finally saving his little girl.

He saw then the first day of his retirement, saw himself walking away from Barnaby, remembering how he swore to give his partner the chance to focus on himself for once, to finally live a life that was free, that was his.

And then he saw his first day back as a Hero, watched himself fall into Barnaby’s arms again, watched them become partners again. At last.

Time suddenly rocketed forward, as if Kotetsu was launched from a sling shot, he shouted in alarm but he couldn’t hear a thing, and these weren’t memories anymore.

Scenes flashed before his eyes: his first date with Barnaby (?!), when he first said I love you to the other man (!!), when Barnaby first said I love you back (!!!), moving in together, then an image of each of them in matching grey tuxes at their wedding.

“What? What?” He was yelling without a voice, he was heaving for breath, so, so very dizzy, stomach swooping with shock and amazement (and awe and wonder and what could be…!)

He was ass on the pavement in some dusty back alley, laid out flat in his hero suit in the midst of metal debris and safety glass. And someone one was shaking him, calling his name. “Wild Tiger! Kotetsu! Kotetsu, wake up!”

Kotetsu blinked, then shot to a sitting position with a deep gasp, nearly slamming into Barnaby as he did so.

“Is she okay?” he demanded, wobbling as he tried to get to his feet. Barnaby grasped his hand and pulled him to a standing position, steadying him, his eyes scanning every detail of Kotetsu’s face with laser focus.

“Are you okay? Kotetsu…?”

Kotetsu patted Barnaby reassuringly with his free hand, scanning the people milling around in search of the NEXT. “I’m fine, I’m fine.” Then he spotted the woman a short distance away, flanked by Sky High and Blue Rose, and being eyed warily by a nearby cluster of police. “Hey! Don’t apprehend her! She wasn’t being aggressive, she hasn’t learned to control her powers yet and I scared her. It’s my fault!”  

The woman, who still looked almost like she was cowering, straightened and stared at him, then her face crumpled and her eyes filled. “I’m so sorry.” Her voice wavered. “I’m so, so sorry. I don’t mean for this to happen. I can’t make it stop.”

“Your powers, they’re time related, right?”

Swallowing, she nodded jerkily, lip wobbling. “I. Yes. Sort of. I can make people see memories. Or, they for an instant go back in time? But it comes out like, like a blast? I don’t mean to hurt anyone. But I can’t hold it back, it just happens.”

“You’ll be all right,” Sky High comforted the woman. “We’ll help you, and you’ll be okay!”

“Excuse me folks, pardon me, can I get through,” Ben’s voice came from behind the officers, and they parted to let him through. “Ma’am, I’m Ben Jackson, with Apollon Media. And no, I’m not trying to pressure you into a job, I just oversee these guys.” He gestured with his thumb towards Kotetsu and Barnaby. “But I am here to help you. If you’d like to come back to our offices, we can discuss assisting you in finding resources to help you as a new NEXT. The Hero Academy generally is for younger people, but they do have instruction for adult NEXTs, even older adults, and we can put you in contact with them.”

The woman looked around her, glanced over at Kotetsu who gave her a thumbs up. “He’s right,” Kotetsu called out. “A little training, and that blast will be just a breeze. And you could help so many people with that power.”

“Help people? Do you really think so?”

“Yeah, like folks with Alzheimers or senility, elderly people? You could help them see all their treasured memories, even the things they’ve forgotten.” Kotetsu saw the woman straighten, could almost see the curiosity and confidence coming back to her.

Barnaby added, “Or you could help those with amnesia or other brain traumas regain their memories.” His partner was still grasping Kotetsu’s hand, so he gave it a bolstering squeeze. Of course, this would be something Barnaby would find personally affecting. It had been a handful of years since Maverick, but Kotetsu knew the younger man still struggled at times with what had been done to him. Powers like these could have helped him so much back then, when truth and reality battled behind Barnaby’s eyes—and in his nightmares—against Maverick’s brainwashing and lies.

“Yes. I. I would like that, very much.” The woman nodded to Kotetsu and Barnaby, then turned to Ben. “My name is Anvi Mangal. Please, I want to be able to help others, not hurt them.”

Gradually the crowd disbursed. Ben escorted Ms. Mangal to his vehicle, and Sky High and Blue Rose departed with a salute and a wave.

Barnaby turned his attention once again to Kotetsu. He carefully removed Kotetsu’s helmet, pressing gentle fingers to the sides and back of Kotetsu’s head. “You’re certain you’re all right,” he asked.

“Yeah, yeah, I just was stunned.” Kotetsu rapped a knuckle against his temple lightly. “Got my bell rung, is all. Mostly it was just being inundated with a few decades worth of memories,” he shrugged.

“What did you see?”

“A lot of Tomoe, Kaede. Some of the high points and achievements of my life.” Kotetsu paused. “And you, Bunny. A lot of you.” Hesitating a moment, he reached out and clasped Barnaby’s hands, holding them. “Bunny, I…I didn’t just see the past.” He met Barnaby’s gaze, steady, let himself marvel again at how beautiful and green his eyes were, how long his eyelashes were. He felt like he was at the top of a skyscraper, about to step off in a leap of faith.

It was time to trust that Barnaby would be there to catch him once more. “I saw the future, I think. I saw us. Together. Together, together.”

Barnaby’s eyes went wide, his lips parting on a silent gasp.

Taking a deep breath, Kotetsu wet his lips, and continued. “I’ve never said anything. I’ve always cared about you, so much. But, to tell you, how much, I…. You had so much on your shoulders, with what happened to your parents, trying to piece your life back together, after, after everything. Trying to heal from it. Always having to support me, with my powers disappearing, and my retirement. Even after coming back and getting to be your partner again, I just…I wanted to tell you. But, I. Everything felt so delicate, right?”

“And you didn’t want to ruin things,” Barnaby murmured. “We were partners again, and friends again. After so long, we were back together, and you didn’t want to risk it falling apart.” His eyes were shimmering, and he looked like he was on the edge of smiling or crying—but the smiling was winning.

God, Kotetsu had hoped…seeing all the not-yet-memories in his glimpse of the future, it’d struck Kotetsu that maybe, maybe all this time, Barnaby was hiding the same feelings Kotetsu was. And now, to hear these words from him, about Kotetsu, but at the same time obviously about himself. How could Kotetsu be this lucky? How could he be this lucky a second time? He released Barnaby’s hands only so he could take off his partner’s helmet as well, letting it slip to the ground. He ran still-gloved fingers along the sides of Barnaby’s face, trailed a gentle thumb beneath his eyes to catch the stray tear that finally dropped, wiping it away.

“Bunny. Barnaby. I’ve…I’ve loved you a really long time. I always thought I just had Tomoe in my heart, then one day you were there too, like you’d always been there.” He swallowed, feeling the moisture on his own face. “If the future I saw here was real…god, I want it. I want that with you, Bunny.”

Then Barnaby, skittish Barnaby who’d always shrugged off Kotetsu’s hugs, who always complained or fussed if they went on too long, embraced Kotetsu with a loud clatter of their hero suits, squeezing him so tightly Kotetsu thought he could feel his ribs creak even in the armor. He was laughing wetly, but sounded so relieved. “Me too, it’s the same for me too. Old man, it’s been driving me crazy, I’ve wanted to say something for so long.”

Finally he pulled back, just far enough Kotetsu could see his face again. And it stole Kotetsu’s breath away, the sheer joy in Barnaby’s wide, wide smile. He’d never seen Barnaby more beautiful than at this moment. “How long’s it been for you?”

Barnaby chuckled softly, wiping under his eyes. “It first hit me that time, after Jake Martinez. When you said you trusted me to believe you.” And there was that beautiful smile again. “It was like a good luck mode punch to the chest. I don’t think I ever quite recovered.”

“I don’t know that I can point at a specific day, or event,” Kotetsu mused. He shrugged one shoulder. “It was like you snuck in on quiet little rabbit feet and just waited for me to finally notice.” He grinned. “My li’l Bunny.” Barnaby huffed, but he still held Kotetsu, and Kotetsu realized then, now that he knew, Barnaby was never going to let him go. And Kotetsu trusted in that, one hundred percent.

“So what now,” he asked, affection a warm, glowing thing beneath his sternum, and he tapped lightly at the chestplate of Barnaby’s hero suit. “Do we…should we go out? Dinner and…?”

“Definitely. Yes, let’s do that.” Barnaby’s hands hand slid down to rest at Kotetsu’s waist, and Kotetsu found he really liked them there. “Maybe something quiet and small. How about that barbecue and Korean barbecue restaurant Ben recommended?”

Kotetsu nodded as he recalled Ben mentioning his cousin and her husband’s new business. He’d always wanted to try—  TIngles flashed over his scalp, and Kotetsu did a jaw-dropped doubletake, staring at Barnaby in shock. Wait, that was, that was the exact place! Their first date! Barnaby looked momentarily confused, then stared at Kotetsu in wonder.

“Really? You saw…?”

Now Kotetsu was beaming and he didn’t think he’d ever stop smiling again. With a whoop, he grabbed Barnaby into another hug, so giddy he couldn’t help but spin them both around until they both dissolved into laughter. Staggering to a halt and helpless with giggling, Kotetsu had to wipe his eyes for an entirely different reason this time.

“Y’know what’s the best part? Today’s the date we were first partnered together.”

Barnaby’s face brightened, “it is!” His smile grew impossibly fond as he looked at Kotetsu. “You remembered.”

“Of course, always.” God, he loved Barnaby so fantastically much, how had he ever kept it tucked away and secret in himself so long? “I can’t wait to have a ton of anniversaries with you.” He sounded like such a sappy fool…and he loved it. “Wait, I thought of another one!”

As Barnaby looked at him curiously, he took Barnaby’s face in his hands, then leaned in and brushed their lips together, once, twice, and by the third, Barnaby met him in the middle for a lingering, thorough kiss. When they finally parted, Kotetsu announced with a wink, “First kiss!” And he learned then that a blushing, delighted Barnaby was his absolute number one favorite thing.

Kotetsu didn’t know what the future really held, but when it came to love, he couldn’t wait to experience every moment of it, now that it would be a future with Barnaby.

Despair Disease

Maybe TW for attempted sexual advances, but its okay nothing bad happens.

There was a problem in the dining hall this morning. Everyone was acting strange. Okay, backtrack. Half of everyone was acting strangely. Keebo suddenly thought he was human for some reason and Miu and Kaede had to stop him from trying to eat breakfast.

Though Shuichi seemed to be just fine, Kaede hoped Shuichi wouldn't think he had a different talent. Though when Kokichi showed up, she wished it had been that to save her eyes.

It wasn't odd for Shuichi's mood to go up when he saw Kokichi since he liked him. Miu often questions when Shuichi would finally just fuck Kokichi.

"He doesn't know what that means! Shuichi is not the kind of person to just have sex with someone, he would want to date them first!"

The mood of the room changed when...

"H-Hey! Stop trying to take off my shirt Shuichi! I didn't know you were such a pervert!" Kokichi's whole attitude changed when the snooper tried to pull his shirt off.

Shuichi stared at him then tried to tug his pants off, this time Kokichi grabbed his wrists. "Seriously Shuichi-stop trying to strip me!"

Miu was laughing at Shuichi's odd behavior and Kokichi's embarrassment.

"But Cookie, I'm a snooper, it's my job to snoop~"

Kaede couldn't help but laugh at Shuichi's new nickname for the leader. Kokichi's face was turning the shade of a tomato. But made sure not to let go of Shuichi or else he would keep trying. After a few failures of trying to free his wrists, he settled for pressing himself against the other in an obviously suggestive way.

That's when our favorite bear in the world decided to show up and let them know what was going on. Half of them had something called 'Despair Disease', Keebo had the human one and Shuichi had the horny disease. (I don't have time to name the others without stealing from other works I've seen)

The bad news was that Kokichi was stuck with a horny Shuichi. The good news is that when this was over he was going to make fun of everyone. Occasionally Shuichi would try to pull his hands free, "Chi! Why are you so against me touching you?"

Kokichi stuck with ignoring him as best as he could.

"Don't ignore me!" He frowned angrily, trying to rub against him, but the leader seemed determined to make this impossible for him. The only thing he could do was press up into him. He groaned in irritation, "KOKI!"

Why did Shuichi have to be given this disease? He could have at least gotten an interesting one instead of desperate for sexual attention. Kokichi prayed to whoever was listening for the small boy to turn back to normal.

Eventually, in the evening, everything was going back to normal.

"No, I did not! I would never even try to do that!"

"Yes, you did! I was there!"

Shuichi grumbled then walked away from Kokichi.

"Do you still want my clothes off?"

"Buzz off Kokichi!" He snapped his face flushing red. Clearly, Kokichi was not going to let him forget this.

Quirk

Els quirk is keys, but has 3 separate keyholes, two on the back of her hand and one on her chest.

She makes normal keys but with a power in mind she can create any key with any power. So she basically ve 3 separate quirks in her at one time. Each key has a different ability, Its easier to think that each different key is a different quirk.

All the keys have one thing in similar, and that’s they exhaust her. If she uses these keys for to long her body it can make her sleep longer.

[hexedmaniacs]

alright welcome to dirty nasty crime hell my friends

these are a bunch of master ocs i’ve basically been cooping up with, like 13 of them are actually just remakes of VERY VERY old ocs i used to have from back in like 2012-2013 while 3 of them are new.

basically tl;dr i made two holy grail wars worth of masters comprised of criminals because who am i, if not a bastard who continually makes ocs like it’s the only thing keeping me alive

+ two teenagers because don’t worry about it

tidbit information under the cut. (i plan to make separate profiles for them on my blog later for easier access!)

(All information is subject to change- and most information is rehashed from old biographies. if they sound over-the-top or absurd do keep in mind that 90% of these ocs were dangan ronpa ocs so they’re kind of absurd for a reason lmao, i’ll rework them later.)

Left to Right: Amarante Kumagai, Saotome Sayuri, Kaede Ozawa, Chiyoko Hagiwara, Etsuko Mizuno, Ai Suzumiya, Kozakura Mochizuki

Amarante Kumagai is a Freelance Mage who had been working within the Watanashi Syndicate for the express purpose of trying to understand the motif of mages who opted to work with Japan’s crime organizations.

Saotome Sayuri has no known file, presumably someone under a false identity, nobody know where Saotome came from or what her intentions are, all they know is she works for the Hagiwara-gumi and is a damn good killer.

Kaede Ozawa AKA Karma is a notorious Sukeban and leader of a female biker gang- an old high school friend of Chiyoko Hagiwara- she’s recently been recruited into the Hagiwara syndicate by the behest of Chiyoko due to Kaede’s influence over the streets of Fuyuki.

Chiyoko Hagiwara is the eldest daughter of Ryosuke Hagiwara and Akira Kiyabu. Although her father was just a regular Oyabun, her mother Akira was actually a mage who planned to pass down her family’s teaching to her. But due to the careless and reckless way Ryosuke led his syndicate, it lead to the death of himself and the disappearance of his wife and eldest son. That left Chiyoko alone to take care of her infant sister and her friend Ai who had been raised to serve as her brother’s right hand when he assumed the position as the family’s head. However with no suitable heir to inherit the syndicate, Chiyoko took it upon herself to assume the position despite the backlash she would receive to subside tradition.

Etsuko Mizuno is a high ranking officer in the Hagiwara-gumi- Chiyoko’s Wakagashira, she is the one that oversees the men in Chiyoko’s syndicate and ensures that everything goes according to Chiyoko’s wishes.

Ai Suzumiya is Chiyoko’s oldest friend, Saiko-komon, and personal assassin.. Chiyoko essentially trusts Ai with her life- in fact, she’d lay her life for Ai. If she truly loved anyone, it was Ai Suzumiya. And likewise, Ai would lay her life for Chiyoko. And it’s not just because she was trained to be that way. Ai genuinely loves Chiyoko despite her lack of emotion, and despite her dutiful demeanor and the fact that she sees herself as nothing more as the knife which Chiyoko wields to take down others, she would want nothing more than to serve Chiyoko.

Kozakura Mochizuki has loose ties to the Holy Church- a former Executor, Kozakura had left the church to pursue work for the Kimura syndicate. However with the rumors of a Holy Grail war and Kozakura’s technical status within the Holy Church and the fact she was readily available in Fuyuki, she was sent to keep tabs on the war- not necessarily oversee but to see if she herself could secure the Grail for the Church.

Left to Right: Tsukasa Hagiwara and Kyona Sumida

Tsukasa Hagiwara is the younger sister of Chiyoko Hagiwara and the presumed heir to the Hagiwara Syndicate once Chiyoko passes, a girl with a royalty complex who likes to look down on others, she has vague ideas about the whole ‘magecraft’ thing, since her sister herself is quite an amateur at best, she herself doesn’t know much about it.

Kyona Sumida is Ai’s first cousin, born long after the death of her aunt, uncle and the disappearance of her two cousins, Kyona’s father Yuudai decided to take the Sumida’s family business and lead it himself, aside from obligation, but because he wanted to seek vengeance on the Hagiwara syndicate for harming his family. Kyona is the assumed heir to the syndicate unless Ai and her brother Hiroshi ever decided to show up again and prove that they weren’t dead.

Left to Right: Yuzuna Anaki, Kuro Kage, Xiulan Leung,  Persephone Di Lucia, Nadezhda Pavlovich, Kasuga Shiranai, Lazarus

Yuzuna Anaki is a drug dealer in the alleys of Fuyuki city. Initially she only worked for herself, after a run in on Chiyoko’s turf, instead of killing the girl, Chiyoko decided to hire her, leading the Hagiwara-gumi into drug deals and other substance-related ventures.

Kuro Kage is a fore-hire hitman, who’s main client seems to Chiyoko Hagiwara or one of her various proxy stand-ins. Kuro doesn’t mind either way and has no particular loyalties, but she does keep a not about how handsomely Chiyoko pays her.

Xiulan Leung, the leader of the Triad group Xiu Lang, named after the titular leader. It grew rapidly within the streets of Hong Kong, which caught the eye of Chiyoko after the group had attempted to establish a small front in Japan based in Fuyuki City. Instead of fighting however- the Hagiwara-gumi had proposed an alliance with the foreign crime organization, one that would grow to encompass the biggest leaders in crime across the globe.

Persephone Di Lucia, nicknamed Kore, is the daughter of an Italian Mafioso, on behalf of her father, she had entered negotiations with Chiyoko Hagiwara after the latter had offered her services to the man should he, in return, assist the Hagiwaras overseas. Persephone became one of Chiyoko’s closest allies and tentatively, one of her friends within Chiyoko’s alliance, The Hierarchy.

Nadezhda Pavlovich is the disgruntled younger sister of the Russian mafia boss Dmitriy Pavlovich. Also working as her brother’s stand-in for most overseas negotiations, like Persephone, Nadezhda works as one of Chiyoko’s overseas allies in Russia as well as one of her friends.

Kasuga Shiranai was the previous heir of the Shiranai-cho before it was completely wiped by the Hagiwara syndicate. Kasuga had a choice of either dying or working with Chiyoko, the latter which she chose to ensure her life. However behind the scenes she discreetly works with others who oppose Chiyoko and her vast reach over Fuyuki in the hopes of taking the Oyabun down a couple notches and avenging her family.

Lazarus, real name unknown, is an assassin who works with an unknown assassins league, currently they are contracted with the Hagiwara-gumi and works closely alongside fellow asssassin Ai Suzumiya to complete any contracts given.

Once Upon

Tags for mentions: @mindinmuken @raisingyourhead @codename-freya @bleachintothemultiverse

Akane quietly enters her home,loosening the ribbon she wears in her hair. Today had been a long day for her,she was hoping for a peaceful night back at home. However all that hope for peace quickly vanishes when she sees her little sisters standing by the door holding her red pointe shoes.

“Izumi,Kaede.”

She says calmly,acting like she doesn’t see her old ballet equipment.

“Akane,where have you been?”

“Were you on a date with Mister Tokinada?”

The two ask right after each other. Akane sighs gently and shakes her head.

“Girls I told you I was going to work and Kaede you know better than to call Mister Tsunayashiro by his first name and of course I wasn’t. There’s nothing remotely romantic between me and him.”

She gently scolds. Izumi giggles as Kaede pouts.

“Yeah Kaede! She’s totally secret dating Seinosuke.”

“I’m not involved with Mister Yamada either and don’t call him his first name either,you’re strangers. You two really need to stop making such grand assumptions about me and men I talk to,next thing you know you’ll be saying me and Mister Kira are together because I’m trying to help him as well.”

Akane scolds again,joking and teasing her younger sisters a little at the end of her statement. Normally she’d scold them longer for their romance based rumors and how disrespectful they are to the other people. Hell normally she’d act extra cross with them for being so casual with Tsunayashiro’s name. But they’re just teenagers who are just excited their big sister knows “famous” people. She can forgive them as long as they keep this to themselves. She’d hate for any of them to find out what her little sisters were thinking about.

“Anyways Nee-chan,”

Kaede starts,changing the subject and purposely using a nickname Akane has a hard time saying no to,

“Doooo you know what month it is?”

Akane sighs softly and nods.

“It’s December,I’m guessing you two want me to do the performance?”

“Mhm!! We even got you a new outfit for it!!”

Izumi says,pulling a box out from behind her back and handing it to Akane. The noirette sighs then nods to them,knowing it’s pointless to fight.

“Fine,I’ll do it, but did you ask Kaisa if she wanted to watch?”

“Well no, but we thought you’d rather her try sleeping.”

Kaede mumbles,looking at the ground. Akane gave a little hum then took her dancing shoes from her gently.

“It’s fine,I’ll just do it again if she does want to see.”

She coos gently,patting her little sister on the head. Izumi giggles and holds up a video camera in her other hand than the box.

“Actually Akane we got a video camera so we could record you for her!”

She chirps. Akane chuckles lightly and takes the box from her.

“Wonderful,now you two go get the stage ready. Ask servants for help if you need to.”

She hums as she walks off to change. It’d been so long since Akane actually took her dance lessons. However ballet was always one of her talents,had she’d not grown so tall she could’ve gone professional with it according to her old coaches. Despite have no real future in it,Akane kept practicing it. Her little sisters had always been mesmerized by her dancing from a young age,along with things like her singing. So when they’d picked up an interest with a movie from the world of the living,a new December tradition for the three formed.

Every December Akane would do a ballet dance while singing the song Once Upon a December. She even had a small room with a low, but wide stage and everything added onto the house for it. The younger two of the trio would always get so excited about it,they started even getting her custom costumes for it just a few years back. Truthfully the tradition embarrassed Akane a little,she never felt like she was that good at dancing or singing. Hell she’d be mortified if anyone besides those in the household saw her little annual performance. But seeing the happiness on her sisters’ faces made it all worth it for her.

It took little time for the therapist to get ready,she was practiced with this by this point in her life. She glances at herself one last time in the mirror before she got on stage. The stage lights flick on and the music starts. Akane then starts her dance and starts to sing while her little sisters watched and filmed her. She held back her blush,pushing away her feelings of being camera shy. She didn’t have time to focus on that,she has to focus on this right now. Soon enough the short song ended though and the room lights came back on.

Akane smiles at her sisters and yawns.

“Goodnight you two,I’m going to bed now. Don’t stay up to late.”

The two nod snd watch her older sister walk out of the room.

“... So we’re still going to post this everywhere right?”

“Oh totally,big sis is going to be the talk of the town finally with her performance going viral!”

Beta AU - Main story, Chapter 3, daily life (Part 3)

Note of the author: I legit finished this chapter a few days ago but I wanna keep a regular update schedule.

Day 11 since the beginning of the game. 8:00 AM.

The morning announcement played, waking up Shuichi.

The motive the monokubs gave them was still on his mind. Even though the disease was very unpractical, why would anyone kill because of it?

He shook his head. Perhaps he could try to visit Rantaro after breakfast.

After getting dressed up, he left his room to go to the dining hall.

Almost everyone was already here, not counting the ‘hospital team’.

“Hey there! Did you sleep well?” Miu asked him.

Shuichi hummed, still a bit tired. “How are the others?”

“I gave the hospital team breakfast and they looked fine according to Rantaro.” she replied.

“And what about him?”

She sighed. “He says he’s fine but he looks really tired. I told him to get some sleep but he says he ‘already took a nap’.”

She clearly didn’t believe him. He probably lied so he wouldn’t be scolded by an overprotective Miu.

Who knows how much longer this is going to last. They could only hope the Monokubs would give them a break.

They finished breakfast in silence.

Shuichi decided to pay a visit to Rantaro.

After going to the fourth floor, he realized he didn’t hear a thing. He approached the corridor with the three rooms and noticed him sleeping on a chair. Or so he thought, because the medic immediately opened his eyes and turned to him.

“Hey there. Did you sleep well?” Rantaro asked.

Shuichi blinked. “Yes, what about you? You did have to take care of the others, did you even sleep?”

He chuckled. “Yes, yes I did. Well sort of. I’m pretty much trained to keep myself in a half-sleeping state. Of course it doesn’t help me rest as much as normal sleeping but at least I can keep an eye on those three in case something goes wrong.”

Shuichi was still a bit worried. “Are you planning on sleeping on a chair until the disease disappears?”

He shrugged. “I don’t think I’ll keep up alone for more than week at most. But I don’t think Monokuma will let us do nothing for an entire week. So either he’ll try to put a stop on the illness or...”

He trailed off, then sighed. “Please keep an eye on the others for me, okay?”

Shuichi nodded. “Count on us.”

By the sound of his voice, Rantaro really felt powerless over the situation. Of course he volunteered to take care of the patients, but he sounded almost sure that something was going to happen to the rest of the group.

Shuichi wanted to say everything was going to be okay, but seeing how he was right the last time he said something similar, he could only prepare for the worst.

He left the fourth floor, a part of him still hoping things would go their way.

Just as he entered the dining hall, he noticed Himiko talking to Miu, the former looking visibly worried.

“Listen, I know you’re worried about him and it’s really nice of you to go check on him, but Rantaro told me there’s still a risk if you stay in the corridor 10 hours of the day.” Miu said, arms crossed, a disappointed look on her face.

The petite girl slammed her palms on the table. “But I can’t leave him like this! He isn’t taking any of this well and I’m the only one he listens to!”

Shuichi felt like he came at the wrong moment.

Miu turned to him. Her gaze screamed “Help me. Please.”

He approached the two. “What... Happened?”

“Himiko stays way too much time in front of Kokichi’s door and Rantaro is worried there might be risks she gets the disease.”

“You guys don’t understand anything! You haven’t... You... He...” Himiko trailed off. “... He constantly panics about what the disease does to him... To them and to us... I try to tell him that everything’s okay but he says he can’t help it...”

Shuichi hummed, trying to think of a solution.

“Whenever Kaz felt sad or was made fun of at school, I cooked him a batch of cupcakes. It never failed to cheer him up.” Miu muttered, voice low. However she had a weak, nostalgic smile on her face.

“Cupcakes?” Himiko raised an eyebrow.

“Good idea! You two could make some, right?” Shuichi smiled.

The street artist crossed her arms confidently. “Walls aren’t my only canvas you know?”

“You know how to make cupcakes??” the astronomer asked her with wide eyes.

Miu laughed. “You underestimate me, twinkle! I’m more than capable of baking cakes!”

Himiko suddenly jumped to get to only a few centimetres from her face. “Then teach me!!”

Miu instinctively backed off. “Sheesh, twinkle! You’re determined aren’t you?”

Himiko’s gaze was intense, even though she wasn’t exactly intimidating.

Miu blinked a few times, then raised her hands like she was surrendering. “Alright, alright. You got me.”

She stood up and scratched Himiko’s head. “It’s decided! You’re coming with me and we’ll do the best cupcakes spooky boy has ever tasted!”

“Spooky boy?!?”

“What, you got a better nickname?”

“I just call him Kichi!”

“That’s a ‘you’ problem, I’m sticking to spooky boy!”

The two cheerfully bickered, Miu dragging Himiko to the kitchen. Shucihi smiled. It looked like the problem was solved.

Shuichi wasn’t really in the mood to do much this morning. He more or less knew what the others were doing.

Angie was finally talking to Kiyo in the courtyard.

Kaito and Keebo were once again in the warehouse for an attempted maintenance.

Kirumi was in her lab, probably making sure everything was still in place.

And finally, Miu and Himiko were baking their cupcakes.

He decided to go to his own lab to play some violin.

Stepping in the room was enough to make him feel guilty.

After all, his last audience consisted of both Kaede and Maki, who were now together in the afterlife.

He looked at the spot the two were sleeping at only a few days ago. Maki was resting on Kaede’s shoulder, their hands intertwined. They felt peaceful back then.

And then Maki, out of desperation accidentally killed Kaede when her goal was to make the two of them escape.

As much as he told himself this wasn’t his fault, the guilt wouldn’t go away. They had sent Maki to her death. A brutal death, that is.

He shook his head and grabbed the violin to try and make those thoughts go away.

Several music sheets were scattered across the floor. Was he always that messy?

He took one that was isolated from the rest and read the title.

“Autumn by Vivaldi... Why not?”

He placed the sheet on the desk, made sure the door was closed and started playing.

Playing violin was very relaxing, and Shuichi understood why Kaede was writing so much in her notebook when she was stressed.

When he finished the song he exhaled a deep breath and opened his eyes. He just needed the first few notes to remember the whole song, so not looking at the sheet wasn’t much of a problem.

He suddenly turned to the bench in front of him.

Kirumi was sitting here, silent. She clapped her hands once his eyes landed on hers.

“H-How long have you been watching?” Shuichi asked nervously.

“Not so long, do not worry. I was headed to the fourth floor to ask Rantaro if he had any preferences for lunch and I heard you playing so I thought I could pay a visit.” she replied, standing up. “You have a wonderful talent Shuichi. This really was pleasing to the ears.”

Shuichi blushed a little and scratched the back of his neck. “T-Thank you.”

“No need to thank me. I shall head to the fourth floor, but I look forward the next time you play a song.”

The violinist chuckled. “I don’t have much to do, so I’ll probably stay here for a while.”

“Well, Miu and Himiko are using the kitchen if I’m correct, so I might as well stay here when I’m done checking on the hospital team. If it doesn’t bother you of course.” she fiddled with a lock of hair.

“No, not at all! It’s just that I’m a bit surprised you like my music.” he shook his head.

Kirumi briefly smiled. “You are not the ultimate violinist for nothing, Shuichi.”

She left the lab to check on the others, as she said.

A few minutes later she came back, as Shuichi was going through different music sheets.

“You know, I had heard your name several times during my missions.” she explained.

“Huh? Really?”

She nodded. “Of course you never were the target some were paying me to kill. But I heard several times your name from high-ranking clients and targets.”

She let out a dry laugh. “Some of them joked about how I shouldn’t kill a violin legend like you even for an extremely high amount of money. Hypocrites.”

This sent a shiver down his spine. Even if Kirumi claimed no one wanted his death, the fact that the ultimate mercenary had the same clients as him was disturbing, to say the least.

“I see... Wait ‘hypocrites’?” he asked her.

“Those people are literally asking me not to kill someone for money and then pay me hundreds of thousands of yens to see their target dead.” Kirumi continued.

Shuichi had some trouble understanding her intentions.

“Um... If it’s not too personal... Why did you start this job?” he asked.

Kirumi’s expression didn’t change, but it was clear she wasn’t going to answer. “Unfortunately I can’t give you the full details for your safety. All I can tell you is that I wasn’t born in the best place in order to live a normal life.”

Shuichi nodded.

The two continued to switch between violin music and discussions about various topics, but avoiding talking about Kirumi’s life.

He didn’t want to know what would happen if he knew more about her, he just knew the consequences would not be pleasant for him.

-

Around noon, the others reunited to the dining hall to eat.

Miu and Himiko had finished the cupcakes, and from what Himiko said, Kokichi was confused at first because he didn’t know what a cupcake was, but was very grateful for the gesture.

Angie finally talked about her issues to Kiyo. However the therapist decided to keep those informations for himself, but assured Shuichi that things were going okay.

Keebo was still glitching from time to time, but Kaito managed to help him maintaining himself for the time being.

Afternoon came and as usual, the others went their own ways.

Angie decided to spend the afternoon locked in her lab doing sculpture.

Kiyo and Kaito were talking in the courtyard.

Keebo and Kirumi were in the latter’s lab to relax.

Himiko was again in front of Kokichi’s door.

Miu was walking around the casino, so Shuichi joined her.

“What’s up? You here to play?”

Shuichi shrugged. “I don’t really know, I mean some items from the machines are nice but I’m not looking for anything in particular...”

She scratched the top of his head and gave him a tap on the back. “Don’t sweat it! The more the merrier!”

The two joined the casino and played various games for a while.

After collecting a great amount of medals, they headed to the premium exchange counter. There were various weird items here, so they bought a bunch of not-that-necessary items for themselves or to offer.

Shuichi didn’t miss Miu getting a love key, even though she tried to hide it.

Even though the bar was devoid of people, they sat there to compare what they bought.

Miu examined the plant Shuichi had bought. “I wish I had time to take care of these... I already got a son and an artist career to maintain.”

He smiled. “Say, you look happier these days. I’m glad you manage your issues correctly.”

Her eyes widened for a second. “I’m... Just glad I managed to get back to my old mom habits.”

“You mean how you always prepare breakfast for the others and make sure the hospital team stays healthy?”

She blushed at the indirect mention of the Rantaro. “I-It’s nothing I- It’s just- It’s-” she stuttered, then groaned, putting her head in her crossed arms on the counter. “I can’t help it, I have to take care of someone or else I’m nervous.”

Shuichi gently tapped on her shoulder in comfort. “It’s alright, it’s not hurting anyone anyway.”

She put her head in her palms, elbows on the counter. “Yeah but doesn’t it feel weird for you guys that I’m starting to treat you like my own kids??”

The boy shrugged. “As long as you’re not the overly protective mom then I don’t mind. You said it helps you relax so I don’t see why you shouldn't do it.”

Miu weakly smiled and scratched his head. “... Thanks, Shuichi.”

“No problem.”

The two left the casino to join the others, since it was already starting to get dark. How long had they stayed here?

They quickly put the items they got in their dorms and returned to the main building.

When they arrived, everyone was either chatting in the dining hall, except Kirumi, who was preparing dinner.

Miu joined her to give her a hand, but was ordered to give the meals to the hospital team. She called Shuichi and the two brought the plates to the fourth floor.

Rantaro walked out of Ryoma’s room.

“Hello there.” he said.

“We got the meals!” Miu cheerfully announced.

He gave them a thumbs up. “Can you put mine in my lab like yesterday please?”

“I’ll do it. Thanks a lot for your service, Rantaro.” Shuichi said.

He left a plate to Miu and brought the other one to the medic’s lab.

When the girl came back to the dining hall, she explained to Shuichi that Rantaro usually waited until the others ate before doing so. Mostly to make sure they were actually eating.

The group had dinner peacefully and everyone parted their ways to the dorms, or stayed outside for a bit.

Shuichi returned to his room. he would usually talk to Rantaro, but since he was busy taking care of the others, he simply went to his room, having nothing to do.

He took a look back at the items he got. He placed the plant on the small table, read a bit of the travel journal and tried to understand how the strange card game he got worked.

He went to sleep, still worrying about the hospital team, but there wasn’t much he could do.

-

Day 12 since the beginning of the game. 7:20 AM.

Since Shuichi went to sleep early, he woke up earlier than expected.

After taking a quick shower and dressing up, he headed to the dining hall. Keebo was the only one there.

“Oh, good morning, Shuichi.” he said.

“Good morning... I suppose Kirumi and Miu are preparing breakfast?” he asked, taking a seat.

The robot nodded.

Just as Kirumi entered the dining hall, a plate of toast and a carafe of orange juice in hand, Monodam entered the room as well.

“...”

The three looked at the silent robotic bear. He was usually with his siblings, chanting their annoying catchphrase.

“Why are you here?” Kirumi coldly asked.

“YOU-GUYS-DID-NOT-GET-ALONG.”

Keebo frowned. “What are you saying?”

“ONE-OF-YOU-MADE-A-MESS-IN-THE-SHRINE-OF-JUDGEMENT. THIS-IS-NOT-GETTING-ALONG.”

The three looked at each other, worry growing inside them.

The bear left them without answering any questions.

Shuichi took a deep breath. “We should... Try to see what happened.”

Kirumi frowned. “I have a very bad feeling about this.”

He was almost certain something bad happened. Something really bad.

It looked like the other two thought the same, so they hurried to the shrine of judgement.

They opened the door.

A horrifying sight appeared before them.

On the ground, was scattered several blood stained sharp objects and hammers.

And in the middle of it, drowning in a pool of blood was the mangled, almost unrecognizable corpse...

... Of Himiko Yumeno, the ultimate astronomer.

[a-goddy-mess]

I got bored and wanted to write a one shot for one of my favorite crackships so uh,,, I hope you enjoy! (Also, this takes place in a Metias survives AU)

———————————————————————-

Metias’ POV:

Men

In the past few months all they’ve done is bring trouble. Well, one specific man.

Now, this is ironic coming from a man who likes men but it’s true. You catch feelings, get attached, and get a knife in your heart. In my case, it could’ve been quite literally.

Basically what I’m getting at is catching feelings for a man is a terrible decision. Yet, here I am, helping the patriots with a problem in the Elector’s security system at two o’clock in the morning while thinking about one of them.

Kaede told me his name is Pascao. He’s tall, taller than me with bright green eyes. His hair is short and curly, a shade of brown just slightly darker than his skin tone. Since I’ve gotten here he’s acted as if we’re not planning on assasinating a political leader. Joking around, giving everyone nicknames. Gotta admit, it’s been nice having someone there to distract us from the impending doom we could be facing.

As if on cue, while finishing up, I swear I can feel someone breathing down my neck.

“What ya doing?”, The voice asks. I turn around and realize that it’s Pascao.

“Oh um, security camera stuff...”, I mentally facepalm myself for such an awkward response, but to be fair I was not ready for human interaction at this hour.

“Wow, seems like a lot of fun.”

“Very.”, I reply in a monotone, when I catch a glimpse of what he’s holding. A plate of chocolate chip cookies and two mugs of what seems to be tea.

He notices me looking at them and sets them down on the table I’m working at. “Yeah, insomnia’s a bitch so I made some cookies and thought you could use a snack break.” He sits on the bed right next to my desk and sips a drink from his tea.

“Oh, that’s- that’s really nice, thank you.”, I take a cookie from the plate.

“No problem, besides, I feel like I haven’t gotten to know you that well and I thought this was a good ice breaker.”

I turn to the computer to clarify if I’m done, and when I’m sure that I am, I turn my attention to Pascao and my mug of tea.

“Ok, what do you want to know about me?”, I ask him while savoring the warmth of my drink.

“Well, nothing in particular, I just want to talk with you more”, He seems to ponder for a few seconds before continuing, “Ok nevermind, I would like to know how you were able to keep track of Miss Perfect for so many years.”

I laugh. “Look man, I wish I could tell you how.”

Him and I slip into comfortable conversation, we tell stories about crazy Patriot missions, stories from our childhood, and eventually I do tell him how I managed to keep track of my stubborn little sister. But eventually a little over two hours later, he asks me a question.

“So, quick little question, how exactly did you and June end up here.”

“Hm, I thought you and all the Patriots would know by now.”

“Well, I already have the basic premise of why you’re here: You were almost murdered because you were snooping, Commander Ass face wanted you to arrest Day, You and June ended up breaking him out of prison and running away to join us and our cause.”, He summarizes while grabbing another cookie.

I blink. Razor must have explained our situation to him.

“Yep.”

“Well, I want to hear your side of it, not just the basics.”

“Um alright, it’s kind of a downer though.”, I explain to him.

“Metias, dear, my life’s kind of a downer, I can handle it.”, He jokes while smiling and I find myself blushing.

I proceed to tell him about everything that happened. From me questioning the Republic to Thomas betraying my trust. And as I’m telling him all of this, I realize just how long I’ve been wanting to talk about it.

After I finish up and tie it all together, I look up for the first time in a while and I notice Pascao staring at me.

“Metias... that’s... that’s so much for one person to deal with.”, He tells me, holding my gaze for so long I have to look away, pretending to be extremely fascinated by the color of my tea.

“I told you it would be a downer.”, I chuckle lightly, I hope it will lift the mood, but it’s a somber sound. A sound that conveys too much.

As expected, the mood doesn’t change. We end up sitting in silence for what feels like an eternity and for a moment I wish I never told him.

“You know,” Pascao begins, “Sometimes I look at the Republic or hear horror stories like this and it just... it makes me so mad that people like that are allowed to control a nation.”

I nod in agreement. The only reason I’m here is because horrid people are in charge. Day had to become a felon and lose his mom and brother because of the people in charge, Junebug had to lose her parents and grow up too fast because of the people in charge, I had to lose my parents and risk my life because of the people in charge. The system is broken, it’s been broken since day one. A lot of us were just too naive to see it or try to change it until it was too late.

“It’s shitty. It really is.”

“Very.”, He replies.

After a minute or two of more silence he breaks it again, “I’m sorry, I know that doesn’t fix anything but I really am.”

“Thank you.”, I look up at him and give a small smile.

“You were right, Iparis, that was one hell of a downer.”, He tells me.

I laugh for real this time. “Now this means you have to tell me a tragic story next time.”

“I will.”, He promises.

Pascao yawns and starts to get up, grabbing the empty plate of cookies. I only then realize how late (or early I should say) it’s getting.

“Well, I’ll let you get some sleep.”, He begins to walk out of the door but stops and turns around.

“Hey, uh, by the way, that Thomas guy sucks, I mean, if he wasn’t willing to disobey your goddy commander for you then he just wasn’t worth it.”, He pauses for a moment, as if he’s choosing his next words very carefully, “But hey, it’s his loss, he missed out on a badass with a very nice face.”

His last words catch me off guard and I don’t know whether to laugh or blush furiously.

“Thanks, that means a lot.”, I smile in his direction.

“No problem.”

“Hey, Pascao.”, I call out before he leaves

He turns around again, raising an inquisitive eyebrow.

“You’ve got a pretty nice face too.”

He smiles back at me and I’m relieved to see a light blush on his cheeks.

“Ok ok, now I’m going to actually let you get some sleep.”, He heads out the door while saying goodnight.

As he leaves my room and goes toward his, I laugh to myself and feel my face burning up.

I retract my previous statement.

Maybe catching feelings for a man isn’t so bad.

[shsldepressedlesbian]

no one asked but here danganronpa fantasy au that was made in my early days of the fandom and is thus outdated and was made with mostly only the drv3 cast in mind. i updated it a little for the public tho haa

Plot: ok so basically kaede is a princess and she befriends this shapeshifter named shuichi and sorta assigns him as her advisor and their best friends. then two weeks before her crowning she gets kidnapped and shuichi goes off to look for her in time for her to be queen. and he meets the rest of the cast and finds her and everyone is happy

Kaede: Princess. Is very skilled in many different musical types, but piano is her main. Kidnapped from her palace. Shuichi's best friend.

Shuichi: Shapeshifter(he tries to keep this a secret). Orphaned as a child and stumbled into the castle's gardens, where he met Kaede. Searching for her after her disappearance so she can become queen in time.

Kaito: A wannabe adventurer who offers to accompany Shuichi on the road to find Kaede. Also wishes to one day be able to take his adventuring to the sky. Use to be the assistant of an astronomer, before leaving to make his own fortune. Says he's heard rumors about someone who has a map to where the gang who kidnapped Kaede resides. Ryoma was one of his former idols.

Kokichi: A thief and a leader of a gang of bandits. After ending up getting caught while trying to steal from their wagon, he offers to join them and help find Kaede(with plans to rob them and steal their wagon and horses, but only ends up growing closer to them and reconsidering stealing from them cause "huh that prize for finding the queen is a lot more than what these losers probably have").

Maki: An assassin for hire who runs into the trio by random. Also it just so happens that her next target is Kokichi. Kaito saves Kokichi's ass and Shuichi offers to outpay the bounty on Kokichi's head-wait did someone seriously offer that much Kokichi what the hell did you do to piss someone off that much-he then offers that if Maki were to travel with the three of them for a short while, then they could stop by the Akamatsu kingdom and she could get her gold. Maki just wants to kill Kokichi and go, but Kaito begins insisting she comes with them("cmon just cause your an assassin doesnt mean you have to be edgy all the time")and this does really annoy Maki, but eh fine she'll come with them for a day or two, but if she doesn't that money she'll go back to her original plan. And thus the four is complete.

Kiyo: A traveling anthropologist who is secretly a vampire. In his wishes to continue traveling after his turning, he wears much clothing to protect him from the sun, which gives him a creepy appearance. He runs into the four after someone ends up "accidentally" letting the horses go, and offers to give them a ride to meet Rantaro he can guide him to the town. Then mysteriously disappears after dropping a few facts about certain cultures. Even then he appears randomly ever so often. He also has an interest in seances and always observes specialists in the subjects when the chance arrives. His horse, who he's nicknamed "Shiso", is very precious to him, as it is the child of his now deceased older sister's former horse. He also occasionally travels with Rantaro.

Rantaro: A true adventurer who has been through so many dangerous encounters he has become very chill when facing danger. He knows a lot of things about the wild and creature's preferences, though he isn't a walking fact machine. Meets the four and agrees to guide them after hearing they've met Kiyo. Is also looking for his sisters, who have disappeared whilst traveling with him.

Angie: A siren who can change into human when on land. Is very dedicated to the siren sea god. She attempts to use her voice to lure the trio into her cult(of course, doing so would require them to get into the water and drown), but is interrupted by Tenko who scares her off.

Himiko: A young witch who also deems herself a mage. She is severely underestimated due to her lazy nature and size. She gets gravely annoyed when people accuse her of being a fake, and wishes for everyone to see herself as a mage. She calls Tenko her familiar who she turned into a human(the ways of how are not mentioned). When the three arrive, she uses her cauldron to help them locate where the person-who-has-the-map is(she couldn't make out what they looked like or who they were, but hey, she got the town at least).

Tenko: A girl who had once been training to be a knight put was put under a warlock's curse that turned her into a frog, unless she had a true love's kiss. Frog Tenko fell in love almost immediately when she first saw Himiko, and began following her, hoping to one day be able to see if she could break the curse. Himiko first thought of the frog as annoying, but then it began helping her out, and she grew weirdly attached to it, then decided to craft a familiarbond with her, which required at least a kiss on the head. Surprise surprise, Himiko broke Tenko's curse. And Tenko also kept the perks of being a familiar. Tenko has a very obvious crush on Himiko that she denies to have, but is very loyal to her and has promised to protect her and stay by her side until their last days. Due to being a familiar, she has limited magic that can become more powerful the more closer she is to Himiko- and Himiko can also channel magic through her. Tenko, due to a warlock having been the one who put the curse on her and her old teacher feeding her biased views, has a dislike for males, and only rescued the trio because she hated seeing Angie succeeding, and only brought them to Himiko after Shuichi offered to pay a good amount of gold to see her.

Ryoma: A former adventurer, who is now an outlaw since he joined the gang who stole Kaede. However, he also betrayed this gang a long while ago, and so now he is both hunted down by the gang and guards of most kingdoms. He resides hidden away, though by now he has no desire to continue living. He is also the one to have the map to the gang's hideaway, and is the one to give it to Kaito.

Kirumi: The secret former queen of the Tojo kingdom, who ran away after being forced into a loveless marriage. She now works as one of Kaede's best maids, and offers advice. She also tries to track down where Kaede could be held unbeknownst to Shuichi, and is the one to save the four.

Kiibo: A walking build of gears with a touch of magic, he was formerly Miu's first attempt at a walking person. Then, the very next day, almost by magic, he acquired a personality of his own, the ability to speak, and was basically a human- well, sure, he was still made of wood, iron, and gears, but that doesn't change anything, right? He resides in a village with his inventor, who is Miu, as mentioned before. He wishes to one day be able to leave the village and go on his own journey, but for now, he lives peacefully, trying to be seen as just the same as any other normal human.

Miu: An inventor and an idol in her village. She is the reason her village may be the most technologically advanced in the kingdom. She makes plenty of money off of her inventions. Of course, if people were to actually meet her, they would find that she really doesn't act like the inventor people think she is. She lives in her 'lab' in the center of her village, with her companion Kiibo. Has a deep running rivalry with Kokichi, and was actually the one who paid Maki to track him down and kill him.

Gonta: Half human, half beast, all around gentleman. He was abandoned in a forest and was raised by animals and monsters. He has since moved into a village that was much more welcome to him. He wishes to one day become a knight, in order to prove his gentlemenness.

Tsumugi: A very plain and simple tailor whose clothes are much more appealing to look at then herself. Or, at least, that is what people think she is. In reality, she is the leader of the gang who kidnapped Kaede, and wishes for nothing but wealth. She uses her clothing shop as a cover and extra way to make gold, and at the end she kidnaps the four, only to be foiled.

Other Characters:

Makoto: A friendly baker who happens to get sucked into adventures from time to time. Has a curse/gift of both bad luck and good luck. Also married to Kyoko(and maybe Prince Togami).

Kyoko: A very well respected investigator who is rumored to be able to take any case. An enemy of thieving gangs. Married to Makoto(and maybe Prince Togami).

Byakuya: A snobby prince who is due to take his kingdom's throne. However, he refuses to get married until he is crowned(there is a rumor that he is engaged in a poly relationship with the investigator Kyoko and her husband. neither of them have confirmed nor denied this).

Toko/Genocider Syo: A half demon writer who's demon side is a serial killer by the name of Genocider Syo. Use to serve Byakuya and had an intense infatuation for him, before meeting Komaru and going on an adventure with her(more explained in Komaru's section), and eventually falling in love with her, eventually quitting her old job to become a writer.

Sakura: The head knight of a certain kingdom. Very just. Is dating Aoi.

Celeste: A vampire who gambles for money and blood. Has her own mansion of vampire butlers.

Kiyotaka: A traveling ranger whose duty is to right all the wrongs of this world. May or may not possess some sort of supernatural powers. Also may or may not be in a romantic relationship with Mondo.

Mondo: A feared bandit(who is also a werewolf)who is the leader of his own gang, with black horses being their symbol(and also their form of transportation). Use to challenge Kiyotaka often and considered him a rival, but now their quite close "bros"(who may or may not have romantic feelings for each other).

Chihiro: A shy potionbrewer. They sell things such as the healing potions they make, though their quick to give for free to people who need it. However, isn't gullible. Surprisingly on good terms with Mondo and Kiyotaka, being that they once rescued Mondo and nursed him back to health.

Hagakure: A(very limited)psychic who has probably sold his soul to a demon for money. Is in way too much debt with too many bandit gangs. His friends wonder how he's still alive. Either way, he travels around telling fortunes to make money.

Leon: An archer who wishes to be anything but an archer. He has a wish of becoming a bard, as far as that wish may be. Has been rescued from siren attacks too many times to count.

Sayaka: A siren who doesn't have the same mentality as the other sirens, and doesn't actually believe in or pray to the sea god. However, she still has a mavolvent side, and enjoys luring men to their doom. But it is possible to befriend her. She and Makoto have known each other since childhood and are very close friends.

Hifumi: A traveling scribe with an interest in drawings of fictional woman. Has been rumored to be an assistant of Celeste.

Junko: The head queen of the chaotic level demons. Wishes for nothing but to break despair to everyone. Grew up with Mukuro as sisters, but isn't actually related to her by blood.

Mukuro: A shapeshifter who takes many forms. Has been a knight in many armies and is very skilled with weapons. She and Junko were both abandoned orphans who ended growing up with each other as sisters. Is also Junko's 'eyes upstairs'. Has managed to grow attached to Makoto after observing him, and often ends up rescuing him without his knowledge.

Hajime: A demon hunter who is half demon himself(his half demon side being nicknamed Izuru Kamukura, and being a skillful level of demon). Only kills demons who he considers actual threats. Surprisingly drinking barmates with Fuyuhiko and Kazuchi. Is currently reluctantly allowing Nagito to stay with him(may or may not actually have romantic feelings for him). Use to be in love with Chiaki, until she peacefully rejected him.

Nagito: A demon who many believe to be in the chaotic level, but is actually just a lowly luck demon(a very severe luck demon to be exact). Brings despair wherever he goes, though he yearns for nothing but the hope to bring him to the end. Grew very quickly attached to Hajime after observing him for a few days after he spared him, and believes that he will be the hope that will eventually kill him- but as annoying as he may be, Hajime doesn't wish to kill him off. Very self-degrading.

Chiaki: A very sleepy and peaceful witch, who people come to for advice. She enjoys controlling stick figures in video game styles. Close childhood friend of Hajime.

Kazuchi: An inventor who dreams of one day being accepted as the private inventor to Princess Sonia, his everlasting crush. His inventions are amazing, but underlooked. He sold his soul to a demon once in order to make his brown hair pink and to have his sight back so he didn't have to wear glasses. Lucky for him, Hajime then slayed that demon, and now he considers the both of them soulfriends(hajime has his regrets). He spends more time with Gundham, who he battles for Sonia's affections, rather then trying to chill with Sonia herself(though to be fair she doesnt let him get that close).

Gundham: A demon who can bend the will of animals to his own use, aided by his destructive Four Dark Devas of Destruction. His name is feared across the land, and he wishes for nothing but to instill fear into the hearts of many. Until he met Princess Sonia, who he spends an awful lot of time with and seems to have a soft spot for her. He can be found making his plans to destroy villages, hanging out with Sonia, or arguing with Kazuchi.

Sonia: A princess who is invested in learning about demons and summonings. Often travels around in order to observe such things, and a ritual was actually where she met Gundham, who she became close friends with.

Fuyuhiko: The leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the continent. Lost his eye in a barfight. Though he's usually a mean and rough guy, he has a soft spot for his 'allies'(mainly Kazuchi and Hajime)and his personal bodyguard, Peko. He thinks of Peko as more than a tool, and wants her to see that.

Peko: Once upon a time, a group of humans with super senses made an arrangement with the gang that Fuyuhiko now runs. The gang would help them out and leave them alone while supplying them with some money every month, and they would give to them one of their own young to each of the current gang leader's children. Peko was given to Fuyuhiko when she was just a baby. The two grew up alongside each other, but never as equals. She was trained to be nothing but a weapon. A protector. Because of this, she has grown awfully monotone. But, she has a soft spot for fluffy animals, though they do not have a soft spot for her.

Mikan: A fallen angel who fell when she met Junko, the so called leader of the powerful side of demons, and became infatuated by her. Now serves alongside Junko, in a not very healthy relationship. Hopefully she'll break free one day...

Ibuki: A half beast who can transform from a colorful gem dragon to a more humanlike form. She's very rambunctious and causes disaster without meaning to. Loud and vocal.

Twogami: A double agent shapeshifter who goes by many identities, so many in fact that they don't even actually know who they themselves are. However, they have a strong sense of leadership and is a surprisingly nice guy. Actually takes Byakuya's role for amount of times so the original Byakuya can sneak out and meet with Makoto and Kyoko.

Mahiru: An explorer who likes to take pictures of every place she sees. Also is known to help people out whenever she passes through a village. Met Hiyoko when the short girl defended her from a bar creep. Has a friend from home that she occasionally travels with by the name of Sato.

Hiyoko: A dancer who travels a lot, going from bar to bar. She doesn't really like it, considering how many 'creeps' are there, but it makes money for her and her dad, who she cares about a lot. Defended Mahiru from a creep and grew attached to her, and insists that she come visit her whenever she happens through a town that Hiyoko is performing in. May have some feelings for her, but whether their one-sided or not is still to be seen.

Akane: A harpy who is almost always hungry, and can usually be found hunting for meat. A little dimwitted and has a sense of recklessness. Close allies with Nekomaru.

Nekomaru: A half beast who can turn into a stone beast. Is very good at pumping people up, and is also very loud. Close allies with Akane.

Teruteru: A chef who runs a popular restaurant with his mother. A little perverted and almost definitely has summoned a Succubus for a one night stand before.
