You should have told me.

(Sanemi x Reader)

TW: Cheating, Angst

I'll be home late.

This was the nth note Sanemi left, just a phrase, nothing else.

As his fiance, it's normal to feel sulky when not told 'I love you' every time he leaves. He always did it back then. Now just feels, different. Somehow.

Hours passed and dinner became cold. I sighed and decided to go to sleep first, he did say he'll be home late. It's been like this for the past 3 months. I ignored it at first since I know he's a hard working man and marriage isn't something to take easy.

We've been engaged for a year. The ring has always brought a smile to my face, especially when I feel down or alone. I sighed and looked at it, I should probably go out tomorrow to have it cleaned. I'll ask for Sanemi's as well.

I looked at the clock while washing the dishes, '10:07' it says.

I pouted, I missed him. Maybe we should go out this saturday. My head thought of the things we can do, I smiled to myself feeling proud. I finished a few more chores and went to bed. The plushie he gave me on our very first date sat on my spot, I held it while slowly drifting to sleep.

My eyes opened and it was still dark. The urge to use the toilet forced me to sit up. I rubbed my eyes and groaned. The time read 5:51 AM, I chuckled. It's like my body knows when to wake up so I can make my future husband his breakfast and lunch.

I turned to look at Sanemi, he was sleeping peacefully. I gave him a light kiss on the cheek, my face scrunched at the smell of alcohol. His colleagues must have dragged him to drink again.

I cooked him eggs, pancakes and made his favourite protein shake. Extra red bean. The shower was already on so I know he's up and getting ready. I sat down waiting for him. His lunch consisted of fresh pickled vegetables, sweet and sour pork along with a pack of chocolates. He may not look like it but he is a big fan of sweets.

Sanemi entered the kitchen and sat down, I perked up watching him eat. He didn't even look at me, it made me feel a little sad. He always compliments my cooking but, he hasn't been doing that these days.

I picked up my fork and started eating myself, I ate slowly as it was still a little early. Going to work earlier and getting home later, it's a little weird if I do think about it. I cleared my head and smiled at him.

"Ah, I have to go." He says looking at his watch. He patted me on the head and proceeded to rush out. I pouted but suddenly remembered I needed his for cleaning.

"Sanemi!" I caught up to him snatching his hand where his ring was. "I'm in a r-", I cut him off by telling him I just needed his ring for cleaning, I looked at his ring finger but it wasn't there. We both stood there, I felt his hand tense and he pulled his hand from mine.

Before I can ask him where it was he pulled the ring out from his bag and handed it to me, "Sorry, I forgot to put it back on last night. I didn't want it to get lost." He smiled and patted my head again. Before I can even say goodbye he was already out.

It feels weird. Why is that?

I shrugged it off and began to get ready to go out after finishing house chores. I texted him that I'll be meeting with some friends for lunch and won't be home for a few hours.

Sure he didn't say he'll be working late but It's better to tell him where I am in case he comes home earlier. I took the rings for cleaning, after that I met my friends and we settled on a cafe near the sea.

We talked about my engagement and what has already been planned. I already picked the bridesmaids and the maid of honor. Everyone was excited until we talked about how I've been lately.

They gave me weird looks and they looked worried. "We don't want you to over think darling but, maybe you should ask his colleagues how he's been at the office." Kanae suggests, the other girls agreed sighing. "Why? I'm sure he's working hard for the wedding." I giggled, "Oh sweet (Y/N)." Shinobu brushes my hair, "You're, too kind for this." She adds. 'Are they saying that he might be out with some other woman?' I thought.

I understood what they're worried about but, I trust Sanemi and I know he loves me. "Thank you for your concern, maybe I'll talk to him soon about it." I answer, I have been thinking about it too but I didn't want to think that way about him. I love him, and with love comes patience and trust.

The meeting ended once their husbands contacted them that they were home. I admit I'm a little jealous, I don't exactly get what they do from their relationship but again, Sanemi is working hard for our future. We all bid our goodbyes and went home.

To my surprise, Sanemi's car is already parked outside the house. I felt excited as it will give me time to tell him that I want to go out this weekend. I unlocked the front house. His shoes were placed messily on the floor. It was weird as he is normally a well organized person. I didn't think any of it and just placed his shoes where it belongs.

I took off mine and began walking upstairs, I felt happy. I can spend time with him. These thoughts instantly vanished when I saw maroon, stiletto shoes which were peeking from inside our bedroom. I don't wear stilettos. 'Maybe it's a gift from him' I thought to myself. I walked closer to the door and that's when it was clear. He brought another woman into our bedroom.

I didn't want to look inside but I stood there looking down while listening to the moans that came from inside our room. I can hear them, making love on the bed we shared. My head was starting to hurt. A tear fell from my eye, then one after the other. I stopped myself from sobbing by covering my mouth. It hurts. It really hurts.

Is this what my mother felt back then? I tried my best not to end up like that. But here I am. I feel stupid, I shouldn't have turned a blind eye to the late nights. Him not wearing his ring. The strong smell of floral perfume on his clothes. He hates floral perfume, he said he loved that I wore vanilla perfume rather than floral. Was he lying? He probably did.

I stepped out and walked to the nearest park and sat down on the bench. I just sat there, thinking of what'll happen now. My face was dry with tears and the headache was still there. The sky began to turn dark but I didn't want to go back to that house. I sent Mitsuri a text that I wanted to talk to her. She responded immediately.

I began my journey to her house, my heart heavy. I don't know what else to think. I played with the ring on my finger, It's slowly starting to look ugly on me. I, don't want it. I took it off and shoved it inside my bag and sighed. The cab arrived at Mitsuri's house. I knocked and Iguro (my brother) greeted me with their daughter, Hana. I greeted them back and kissed the child on her forehead.

'I could've had a family with him', my head was starting to fill up with thoughts again. He invited me in and to my surprise, Giyuu, Genya, Shinobu, Kanae and Kyojuro was also there. I sat down in between Shinobu and Kanae. They stared at me, as if waiting for me to say something. I tried to talk but my tears talked for me. Kanae hugged me and I cried on her shoulder. Small sobs turned to big ones, it felt like I was fighting to breath properly. Shinobu was running my back and the others just watched.

"What's wrong (Y/N)?" Shinobu asks taking my face in her hands, It was hard to talk I stumbled with my words but she knew exactly what I was crying about when she heard 'another woman' from my mouth. They let me cry it out, they comforted me. I can hear my brother cursing in the background.

An hour went by and I began to calm down Mitsuri began to prepare their dinner and it felt like it was best for me to go back home - to that house. "Hey, you can rest here." Mitsuri says, Iguro agreed. "Rest here for the night." He urges me, I smiled and nodded. Grateful that I have such good friends. It made me feel better.

I stared at the sky, thinking of how I'll confront Sanemi tomorrow. I spent another hour crying inside the bedroom once they left me to rest. I'm not sure how to rest with such a stressful thing to think about. Should I think about it? I don't even know anymore.

Before they left, Genya went up to talk to me. His words comforted me, he has always been softer than his older brother.

What's going to happen now? I haven't been working for 1 year due to Sanemi insisting that he work for the both of us, I'm unsure when to live after breaking up with him. I'll make it work. I'm, tired. I fell asleep on the warm bed, this time my body didn't wake up to make breakfast for someone. I slept throughout the night until noon.

I ate breakfast with Iguro and his family, we talked about what to do next after my talk with Sanemi. They offered to live in one of their condominiums that they rent out from up town. I accepted the offer, I'm thankful.

I felt nervous, I feel like throwing up. Iguro dropped me off in front of the house. Sanemi's car was nowhere to be found, God knows where he is. I signed as the anxiety left my body. Iguro said he'll pick me up before sunset so I have enough time to pack my things.

I took out my bags and stuffed them all with my clothes, I didn't touch the dresses Sanemi bought me back then from our anniversary. The jewelry he said looked beautiful on my skin. The plushies, the music box that had the tune of our prom dance. The very night he promised to marry me. It was such a beautiful night, all the memories. The kisses, the night we spent together. All thrown away. I felt like crying again, but I stopped myself. I didn't want to get sick, I need to find a job after this is over.

I heard the front door open, his footsteps echoed through the house. His presence that once brought warmth and comfort now made me feel uncomfortable, it made me want to get away from him.

The bedroom door opened, I turned to him. Our eyes met, he looked tired from who knows what. "You're back." I say, he smelled of that strong perfume again. "Yeah." He replied not looking at me. My chest started to feel tight again and I can feel the tears build up. Did he even wonder where I was last night? Did he try to look for me? Probably not, he didn't even send me a text nor ask my friends if they knew where I was.

"I stayed at Mitsuri's last night." I told him with a sigh, I began to play with my ring once again. I really want to take it off now. "Why?" He asks while he takes off his necktie. The very tie that I used to always do for him. Sadly, I won't be doing anything for him anymore. My eyes wandered to his finger, no ring again. I chuckled to myself which Sanemi seemed to notice. "What's wrong with you?" He asks in an annoyed tone, how dare he? I didn't answer and just stared outside. "You've been real weird lately." He adds, "Am I?" I asked him before looking back down.

I heard him sigh and groan, "Not right now (Y/N). I'm tired." He ruffled his hair and went into the bathroom. The sound of the open shower filled my ear. How should I go about this? Do I just tell him right away? Maybe that would be better. He stayed in the shower for some time, probably clearing his head. What does he have to think of anyway? He's got two women swooning over him. One slaving away and the other squeezed herself in the relationship. I didn't see the woman he was with but I bet she was beautiful. The bathroom door opened revealing a fully clothed Sanemi.

"Sanemi." I called him before he left the bedroom. I can tell he didn't want to be in the room by the way he turned around to face me. It hurt me. He used to look at me in such a loving way, now it's just this. Whatever this is. "Your ring, it's missing again.", that one sentence made his eyes widen and he immediately started to look for it. He grabbed his bag and went through all the pockets. He forgot. He forgot I took it out for cleaning yesterday. I left it on the kitchen counter before I left for Mitsuri's. So he really didn't look for me. How funny. The face he made, the panic in his eyes. It made me laugh a little bit. "What are you laughing about?" He yells. I stopped and stared at him, "It's on the kitchen counter." I answered sighing, I should probably send Iguro a text now. "Why is it there?" He asks confused, "I had it cleaned yesterday. I left it on the kitchen counter when I dropped by yesterday." I answered, "Dropped by?" He looked even more confused. We stared at each other, he really is clueless.

"Shinazugawa, I don't want to be with you anymore."

Sanemi's face softened, he still looks confused. He looked stupid. "Wha-," I cut him off before he can ask, "I know." That one phrase sent him stumbling over the bags on the floor over to me. Seems like he didn't notice it. "(Y/N), please, I'm not..." He tried to form his excuses. "Please don't stop me, I don't have any intentions on hearing your excuses." I sighed. I wanted to cry, but that'll only make me stay with him longer. God knows I'll give in to his pleas if I stay longer.

"No please. I'm sorry. (Y/N)." He pulled me in a hug. I didn't say anything, I let him scramble with his words. His touch made my skin crawl. I began to struggle out of his grasp. It took me a minute to push him away, he's as strong as always. "You already chose your other woman." I say, "You brought her to our bed." I shifted my attention to the bed. Shinazugawa began to caress my face, spouting things that I'm not paying attention to.

"You did such a disgusting thing, Shinazugawa." More pleas and apologies fell from his lying lips. I laughed a little, suddenly remembering the first time I've seen him cry. It was over their family dog. The one their mother left him to take care of. "Why are you laughing..." It was more of him asking himself than me. "I, no longer feel anything towards you." His tears fell faster as he began apologizing again.

"Makes me wonder if I really did love you."

The tears flowing from his eyes didn't stop, he was at the floor now. On his knees, begging me to stay. "Did you even think about me when you brought someone else over." I mumbled, of course he didn't. The image of the man I once loved made my eyes sore. I took off the engagement ring, took his hand stopping him from crying and began to walk out the room. Shinazugawa began to run after me but I didn't give him a chance to pull me back as I opened the door of Iguro's car and locked it. I was finally able to breathe, then the tears came in. My heart hurt seeing him cry. Of course I loved him, I still do even if he did such a horrible thing. I wanted to hurt him too in a way.

He should have told me. We could have talked about it, whether he still felt something for me or if he fell out of love. We could have saved us.

Shinaguzawa was starting to make a scene outside, banging on the car crying all while trying to stop Iguro from taking my things from the house. All my bags we're finally in the car and it was time to leave. Leave everything behind. "Hey.", Iguro calls. He gave me a smile, "You'll be alright."

Yeah, I'll be okay. I smiled back and we drove off. I saw Shinazugawa run after the car. I couldn't help but cry. I wanted to get out of the car and hug him. I don't want him hurting too. But this is for the best. I sent him a text, one last time. Then I blocked him on everything. I wiped my tears and steadied my breathing.

'You should have told me.' Shinazugawa read the text. He couldn't call her anymore. He cried all the way back to his now empty house. He stared at the ring on his hand while cursing at himself. He knew this will be the last time he'll see her.

Ein 🥺 is it possible for you to talk about Tsunayoshi x Kurumi ship. I wanna know loreee about them, what is their relationship like? how did it all go down, if it does!!!! 😭 i need the tea

OCtober Day 9: Relationships - TsunaRumi 🐟🎀

Hi Jojo! Thank you for sending this ask and sorry it took a while, I thought of using it for today's prompt "Relationships" 😆💖✨Here's a ship chart of the cutest pairing among the three otps that we have! 🫡

Here's a song that really fits them too (mostly Kurumi POV XD)!

Ship Chart Notes

How It Happens - A bit unsure for Kurumi on this one. Because for her it's crush at first sight but the deeper feelings only set in a bit later.

Handling Conflict - Lowkey the same and are quick to forgive & apologize to each other when they realize their mistake.

First to Confess/Propose - Kurumi's #1 problem is that she has difficulties expressing her feelings, especially more to people outside her Family and especially more if it involves deep feelings. Her dressing up as she pleases and trying to be friendly with people is just her steps to fixing that problem but she still has a long way to go. So in this case, Tsuna will have to be the one who steps up.

Cooking & Penmanship - Kurumi is extremely shit at cooking and her penmanship isn't that readable. Tsuna wins by default.

Housework - Tsuna would never let her do too much housework, unless he wants the house to blow up. He'd rather do it all himself. If she insists, he'd give her the safest ones like folding clothes. Ah yes, Tsuna...Vongola boss? No! Kurumi's housewife.

Most of the Speaking - "Excuse me, miss! Tsuna-kun asked for no pickles for his order! 😄"

They are my beloved Idiots to Lovers ✨💕

Daily Life Stuff

When they first met, she kinda challenged him to a fight with similar rules to Tsuna's fight with Mochida (if you hit me one time then you win!). She beat him up real good initially but Tsuna won the battle in the end (thank you Dying Will bullet). But why did Kurumi even challenge him in the first place? Ask Kana.

Despite the fight, Kurumi thought of Tsuna as someone very cute right from the start, she just held herself back (it was so hard for her to do this). Then, Kurumi thinks Kyoko is super cute too! So she thought Tsuna and Kyoko would make a very cute couple together. Because of this, she offered to help Tsuna in setting them up, except they keep failing since (it turns out) Kurumi's romance knowledge is limited to shoujo manga. Her first love also ended in failure.

They both bonded over the fact that they'll be mafia/yakuza bosses in the future despite wanting to live a normal life. Only thing is that, they're both raised differently. Tsuna was raised as a normal kid, but was recently overwhelmed by the revelation that he's gonna become a mafia boss. On the other hand, Kurumi was raised/trained to become a yakuza boss from childhood, but she still secretly yearned for a normal life.

Other things they bonded over: Bad grades, history of getting bullied/ignored, being idiots in romance, cherishing their friends/family

Romance stuff aside, they're really just good friends that can rely on each other. Though it was the Oniyanagi side's mission to assist in Tsuna's training, Kurumi may or may not have forgotten about that at some point. She just helps him out as much as she can as his friend (even though sometimes she accidentally makes it worse dsjbfvfdsvf a non-issue, considering the problems Tsuna runs into daily with&because of his family/friends).

[aihoshiino]

I just want to start by saying I really love your analysis of Ai’s character! It’s nice to know that Ai still has some dedicated fans, even after she died in the story. Ai was fascinating to me throughout the time we got to know her. So it makes me happy that people still talk about her quite often.

I'll get straight to the point now. Lately, I've been unsatisfied with the writing of Oshi no Ko. I'm not a fan of how they've handled Ruby, the revenge plot, and Kana's concert. So, I decided to create my own alternate universe (AU) story featuring two of my favorite characters from the manga, Ai and Kana. The setting in the AU is somewhere around the time after Ai got scouted. The only change I've made to Kana is that she is the same age as Ai in this timeline. I'm not exactly sure how I want to develop their friendship or how they would meet, but I'd love to hear your honest thoughts. How do you think a friendship between Ai and Kana would unfold? I would like to say it wouldn't be an entire copy of RubyKana's dynamic, but I'm not entirely sure 😭. My goal is to portray Ai's feelings and the increasing pressure she faces, as well as Kana's struggles to find work and her gradual realization of her mother's exploitation. I also want to show how they balance their friendship despite being in different fields and supporting each other.

Thanks so much, anon! 💜 THIS IS SUCH A CUTE IDEA… Usually when I see fics of Ai and Kana interacting, it's with their canon age gap but the idea of them being peers is super interesting… please do drop it into my inbox if/when you write it!

The idea I had immediately was like - since we're already messing around with the timeline by making Kana and Ai peers, you could push up the live-action adaptation of Sweet Today and have them cross paths that way. Ai mentions in the Da Vinci Q&A that she would've loved to play the lead character if it was ever adapted - which as we all know is the role Kana plays in the story proper. There's already a surprising amount of parallels set up between Ai and Kana in the main story, but that one in particular really made me go ! so I think you could mine some interesting thematic stuff out of it.

That would also probably be a good way to put them in each others' proximity as well, I think! Like idk, maybe Kana was supposed to get the lead role but got bumped down to a supporting cast member when the production committee decided they wanted Ai's name recognition instead and now Kana has to balance being professional with seething over losing this role she really wanted to a girl who's not even an actress but also wanting to help her give a good performance j-just to make sure the show is good! Not for any other reason! … That kind of thing.

I definitely think they'd have an uphill struggle… they're both dishonest in ways that really clash, huh. I can really easily see the way Kana defaults to externalizing her vulnerability as snark and aggression accidentally setting off Ai's tendency to go belly up fawning mode, which in turn rubs on all Kana's insecurities and her feelings of not being good enough, which causes her to be even more reactive… I think they'd definitely end up having a big blow-up a la Nino and Ai before they could start properly communicating.

Once they're on the same page, though, I think they'd be really good friends! Ai is an incredibly affectionate and supportive presence for the people she loves and Kana is extremely proactively protective of the people she allows into her heart. I think they could really hype each other up and support each other in some really good ways.

Basically what I'm saying is;

[kana voice] HEY!!! SHE ASKED FOR NO PICKLES!!!!! [said while trying to restrain Ai from forcefeeding herself a burger she does not want in order to not mildly inconvenience another human being]

Married to The Enemy- Shingen Ch. 63

Chapter 63

I couldn’t help but to feel anxious and hopeful as I sat beside Shingen at the banquet. Everything Yuto had said about his wife lined up and I couldn’t help but to wonder. I wanted to ask Sasuke his thoughts on the matter, but he was currently hiding from Kenshin who had grown bored with his sake and pickled plums.

The party was starting to dwindle down and some of the vassals were beginning to leave. I was starting to think that I wouldn’t be getting to meet Yuto’s wife. At least not tonight. One of Shingen’s vassals was coming over to join us, wanting to chat with Shingen.

“It really is wonderful to have you back home, my lord.” He said.

Shingen smiled and gave his vassal his attention. Though he kept a comforting arm around me, holding me close. “It is good to be home.” Shingen said. “And I have to thank you all for throwing such a wonderful welcome home party.”

“It is a great party. Though I have to admit I was disappointed when Yuto said he wouldn’t be inviting any dancing girls.” The vassal said.

“I didn’t think it would be respectful of our new lady.” Yuto replied.

“That would be rather disrespectful to my angel.” Shingen agreed.

“I think it would have been funny to see Yukimura get red-faced over.” Saki said with a grin.

“Why would I get red-faced over some girls?” Yukimura asked, his cheeks getting red just at the thought.

Saki giggled. “I don’t know beautiful women dancing specifically for welcoming you and Lord Shingen home.”

“I wouldn’t care about that.” Yukimura said. 

“What? You wouldn’t look?” Saki teased him.

“No. Why would I want to look at anyone besides you?”

Saki smiled and then leaned in to kiss Yukimura on the cheek. “You’re so cute and sweet.”

Yukimura’s cheeks reddened. “No…you’re the cute one.” He said, though his voice was low so he could just barely be heard muttering something so cute.

“When you have your own goddess, there’s no need to look at anyone else.” Shingen agreed, pulling me closer and kissing me on top of the head.

I smiled up at him, happy for his love and the distraction from my anxiety. “You really are the best.” I told him. 

“It’s almost strange to see our lord settled down with just one woman. But it’s a good strange.” The vassal said. “You must be something quite special Lady Ava.”

“Oh, I don’t know about that.” I replied.

“She is very special, indeed.” Shingen said. “There is no one else I could ever want or be this happy to have in my life.”

I felt my cheeks reddening. “Shingen…”

Shingen just smiled at me and kissed me on the forehead.

The party guests continued to dwindle down. Oba-san had gone to the kitchen to get some more food. A few more guests trickled out and only a handful were left, though most of the ones that were left, were far too drunk to do much other than pass out. That was when the doors to the back of the room opened and a woman was standing at the entrance.

“Ah, there’s my lovely wife.” Yuto declared rising from his seat to go to her.

I couldn’t help but to stare at her. She wore a traditional kimono, a dark red with a floral print. Her long brown, with a few streaks of gray, was swept up into a bun. She had the beginnings of laugh lines around her mouth. Her eyes…the same green eyes I saw when I looked in the mirror. 

I was stunned. Too stunned to even move. I felt frozen in my seat. I had been waiting ten years to find out what had happened…hoping that I would see her again. And here she was alive and well.

“It looks like I’ve missed most of the party.” Kana said to Yuto, taking in the appearance of the various passed out vassals on the floor.

“The guests of honor are still here.” Yuto replied, taking her hand. “This way. I want you to meet Lord Shingen and his lovely new wife, who is with child and has expressed an interest in meeting you.”

Kana smiled at Yuto. “Well, if she would like me to assist in the birth, that would be an honor.”

Yuto led her by the hand back to where we sat. Shingen was beside me, holding my hand, his thumb gently rubbing the back of my hand. He could pick up on how I was feeling and must have known from my posture and the look on my face that it was her.

“Kana, my darling, this is Lord Shingen and his lovely wife, Princess…”

“Ava…” She said, finishing the sentence for him, her eyes widening as she looked at me.

It was like a spell had been broken. I pushed myself to my feet and was throwing myself at her. “Mom!”

Mom caught me in her arms and we both clung tightly to each other as tears of joy began to spill from our eyes. “Oh, my sweet girl.” Mom said. “Oh, how I have missed you.”

“I’ve…missed you…too.” I replied, hugging her tighter. I hadn’t had a hug from my mom in so long…I suddenly felt like I was a little girl again. A little girl who missed her mom. And I didn’t care what anyone else thought of it.

I wasn’t sure how long we stood there like that, just hugging each other and crying. Mom pulled back slightly to look at me, taking my face between her hands, her thumbs wiping away my tears like she had done for me many times as a child. “I…I can’t believe you’re here…”

I smiled through my tears. “I can’t…believe YOU’RE here…we have so…much to catch up on.”

Mom smiled at me. “Very much.” She agreed with me as looked me up and down. “Like the fact that you’re married and I’m gonna be a grandma.”

I smiled at her and nodded. “I’m…not the only one…married now.”

Mom laughed. “Yes…and I hope you aren’t mad at me.”

I shook my head. “There’s no way I could be. I’m just so happy you’re alive.” I was then hugging her once more.

“Lady Ava’s questions earlier make sense now.” Yuto said to Shingen.

“Yes, once you started to tell us about how you and Kana met, we both began to suspect.” Shingen replied.

It was at this moment, we heard a crash towards the entrance of the room. “Kana?”

Mom and I both turned to see Oba-san standing in the doorway, a tray of spilled food and broken dishes lay at her feet. “Mom?” My mom asked, her eyes wide.

Oba-san was then stepping over the broken dishes and running over to us, joining the hug and making it a group hug. “Oh, I always knew deep down you were alive and well somewhere, but…still seeing you in person and holding you…”

“You’re both…here…” Mom said in disbelief.

Maids were already quickly moving to clean up the spilled tray. “Well, this is truly a beautiful sight.” Yoshimoto commented.

“It really is.” Shingen agreed.

“Perhaps though, we should move this and the conversation to follow to a more private location.” Saki suggested.

“That’s probably a good idea.” I agreed.

It wasn’t much later that I found myself in a different room with my mom and grandmother. Saki had brought us tea and snacks and then left. The guys had all agreed that it would be best to let us have our reunion alone.

“I still can’t believe it.” Mom said as she sipped her tea and looked at me. “How did you two end up here?”

“The same way you did. A wormhole.” I answered.

“Is…is that what that was?” Mom asked.

“Yes.” I answered.

“Ava’s ninja friend, Sasuke knows all about them.” Oba-san said.

“I just…what?” Mom asked.

I did my best to explain the wormholes and what they were.

“If I hadn’t traveled through one myself, I’d probably not be able to believe it.” Mom said. “So, Ava, did you end up getting here the same time I did and just land in a different area because I pushed you out of the way?”

I shook my head. “No. I’ve been here only a few years now.”

“I see.”

“And I’ve only just gotten here.” Oba-san said. “Ava and Shingen came to the future and spent around six months there. I decided to come back with them. I didn’t want to miss the birth of my great grandchild.”

“Wait…you went to the future and came back?” Mom asked.

I nodded. “Just like you’ve found someone who makes you happy, I’ve found the same.” I replied. “Well, even before I married Shingen, I’d found a big family I knew I couldn’t leave behind.”

“That’s right….I remember Yuto telling me that Lord Shingen was marrying an Oda princess… but that…would make that…you. How?” Mom asked.

“You see, when I first arrived here…I kinda arrived the night of the Hono-ji incident and saved… Nobunaga.” I explained. “And after that he declared me his lucky charm and gave me the title of Princess of the Oda. Which was really just an excuse to keep me close.”

Mom blinked in surprise. “But then he married you off?”

“I agreed to it.” I said. “If I had objected, Nobunaga wouldn’t have forced me.”

“And then I’m pretty sure once she SAW Shingen, she had no problems marrying him.” Oba-san said with a teasing grin.

I giggled. “Well…I mean…yeah that did help ease my nerves a bit. But he’s also been nothing but sweet and charming and kind from the beginning.”

“You do know…he has a bit of a reputation, right?” Mom asked me. “Having been with Yuto these last ten years, I’ve learned a lot about your husband…and while he is a good man, he’s got a reputation for being a bit of a playboy.”

I sighed. “I know. But that’s the old Shingen.” I replied. I then explained everything about Shingen, his illness and how he had come to terms with the fact that he would die young and hadn’t wanted to leave behind a family to grieve him.

“I see…I’m still not sure I trust that.” Mom said, feeling skeptical. “Your father was a notorious womanizer and I thought he had changed for me, for us, but then he up and left.”

“Trust me, sweetheart, I’ve seen the way Shingen looks at Ava. He’s completely dedicated to her. He worships the ground she walks on.” Oba-san assured.

I smiled, my cheeks flushing a bit. “I have no doubts about Shingen's feelings for me. Our wedding night he even told me he wasn’t expecting anything and we would take our relationship at a pace that was comfortable for me.”

“I’m still going to keep my eye on him and if he ever does anything to hurt my baby, I don’t care how big and strong he is, I’m kicking his ass.”

I laughed and hugged my mom. “So, I have a question for you now.”

“What is it?” She asked.

“You and Yuto…he kinda gave us a bit of a rundown of what happened. But uhm…I’d like to know from your perspective and also…does he know? You know about where we’re really from?”

Mom nodded. “Yes, he knows.” She answered. “When I arrived here, I arrived somewhere outside of town. I stumbled around for a few days. My clothes were in tatters by the time I reached the town, looking for help. Yuto was the first one to find me and offer me aid. He brought me to his home and gave me some food and clothes…that’s when I realized why my cell phone didn’t work. At first I thought I’d somehow ended up in some kind of historical actor’s village or something.”

“I can see how you could come to that conclusion.” I replied.

Mom nodded. “So once I adjusted to the fact that I wasn’t going crazy, I started trying to figure out how to get back to the future…that was interesting trying to explain to Yuto, but once I showed him my cell phone and the few other things I had in my purse convinced him though.”

“That’s one way to convince people.” Oba-san said.

“What made you decide to stop trying?” I found myself asking.

Mom put her hand on mine. “You’re probably upset with me for giving up?”

I shook my head. “No. I just want to know what changed your mind.”

“Well, I had the thought that it seemed the storm was a key to traveling through time. So…I kind of started recklessly chasing storms.” Mom answered. “I got hurt one night and almost died. If Yuto hadn’t been there and helped me…I wouldn’t have made it. As he nursed me back to health after that, he talked some sense into me. Reminded me that getting back home would only be good if I could do it in one piece.”

“Well, I am glad that he helped you realize that.” I replied.

“So, while he took care of you, is that when you started to fall for him?” Oba-san asked.

“Yes…that was when I realized he really did care for me. I still had a hard time trusting him.”

“What made you change your mind?” I asked.

“He…he still loves his first wife. He’s kept her grave nice, brings fresh flowers to her three times a week.” Mom explained. “He still tells her about his day and how the children they had together are doing. He doesn’t take relationships or love lightly.”

“That sounds like a man who really can display true love.” Oba-san agreed.

I smiled. “Well, I’m glad that you’ve found someone who makes you happy.” I replied. “And I’m even happier that we’re all together again.”

Mom smiled as she hugged me and Oba-san. “I am so happy about that, too.” She told me.  She was then rubbing my belly. “And I’m glad I get to be here for you during the…I’m guessing second half of your pregnancy.”

“Roughly, yeah.” I replied. “So, how did you decide to become a midwife, by the way?”

“Oh that…I decided I needed to do some work. And I wanted to do something that helped people. I thought being a midwife would be a good way to do that.” Mom answered. “What about you? Your fashion designer dreams?”

“I’m a very in demand seamstress.” I answered, a smile of pride on my face. “When I was still with the Oda forces, I started sewing and working with the seamstresses in Azuchi. Then when Shingen and I got married and were living in Echigo, Shingen helped me start working with the seamstresses there. He even ordered the first commission from me and helped me get established in Echigo. I’ve started adding some modern flare to the clothes I’ve been making here and they’ve really been a big hit.”

“So, you’ve still found a way to make your dream come true then?” Mom asked.

I nodded. “Yup and it’s…it’s honestly even better. I get to see how happy my customers are and make custom pieces.”

“Well, I am glad that you’ve found a way to still have your dream.” Mom told me. “It makes me happy to see you so happy…even if I’m still skeptical about that husband of yours…or the fact that it was a political marriage.”

“Mom…it may have started out as an arranged political marriage, but we really are in love now.” I explained. 

“I’m sure he probably won you over with sex.” Mom said.

I gave my mom a look. “It was actually the lack of sex that started to win me over.”

Mom furrowed her brow. “What?”

“You see…on our wedding night, I was fully expecting that he would be expecting sex…but well, he told me he would wait until I was ready.” I explained. “We didn’t even kiss for weeks.”

“I’m betting he really turned up the charm to get you ready.” Mom said.

I frowned. “Shingen is just naturally charming and sweet.” I replied. “I mean yeah he flirted with me, but we did get to know each other pretty well before we went there. Also…there have been a few incidents where any doubts that I could have had were erased.”

“What do you mean?” Mom asked.

I explained about the women gossiping in Echigo and bullying me. I explained about when we were in the modern day and Akemi showed up. “So there’s those, but also… he’s not afraid to be romantic or romance me. He likes doing the sweet and cheesy things like wearing matching clothes. Helping me get ready and do my hair.”

Mom’s eyes widened. “He…he does all that?”

“Oh, I’ve seen it.” Oba-san said. “When they were visiting the future, he let her pick out all of his clothes and happily let her lead him around. And the look on his face when she told him she was pregnant, I’ve never seen anyone happier about the news of becoming a father.”

“It’s also little things too. He listens to every word I say and remembers every little thing I tell him. He also pays attention to my body language and my facial expressions in any situation. He knows what I want without me having to say it.”

“Well…that does sound like a good husband. I’m still going to be a bit skeptical of him, though.” Mom said. “A leopard can’t change its spots.”

“You’ll see, Mom. Shingen is the best.” I assured her. “He’s also the most amazing and attentive lover.”

Mom sighed and shook her head, but she laughed. “Well, he probably picked up a few things over the years playing the field.”

I frowned. “Mom.”

“Alright, I will give him the benefit of the doubt.” She replied. “Especially since you do seem to be quite happy and in good health.”

I smiled. “I am.”

The three of us stayed up quite a bit longer, chatting well into the night. At some point I was growing tired, but not yet wanting to part from my mother. She had me lay my head down in her lap and stroked my hair. It was how she used to get me to sleep when I was a kid. And it worked like a charm still as I quickly fell asleep.

Kana sat stroking Ava’s hair even after she was in a deep sleep. A warm smile graced her lips as she looked down at her daughter. “It’s truly a miracle that we’re all together again.” She said.

“Very much so.” The eldest of the Shiba women agreed. She was then lifting an arm and wrapping it around her daughter’s shoulders. “I’m so happy to have us all together again.”

Kana smiled, her head resting on her mother’s shoulder, her hand still stroking Ava’s hair. “I’m so happy, too. And Ava is going to be a great mother.”

“Of course she is. She’s had two wonderful examples.”

Kana chuckled. “This may be the happiest moment of my life.”

[yagirljosieohyeah]

Hello! I saw you write for Demon Slayer, if it's possible, may I request some headcanons of the hashiras seeing reader as an older sibling figure?? Please and thank you! ^^

congrats on being my first request of course it’s no problem I wasn’t sure how you wanted it done so I did head cannons for each one and then at the end is a little mini scene with all of them. I didn’t specify readers age and I used they/them pronouns. If you see anything that you don’t like let me know and I’ll fix it.

tw: mention of injury but nothing to detailed or major (it’s like patching up an injury but I know people on the internet can be sensitive)

GIYŪ TOMIOKA

I think that he would be pretty reluctant to the idea of opening up to an older sister figure and it would take a lot of time to get him to trust you

however once you do he’s definitely going to be with you as much as possible

he’s lost a lot so now having someone he’s trying to be careful not to lose you

if you were to hang out with him it would consist of the two of you doing your own thing in the same room as each other

After missions he would definitely have you patch him up if needed (I doubt he would really trust anyone else to do it)

definitely says mean things as a joke but with how nonchalant his voice is it can be hard to tell if it’s a joke

if you were to ever consider giving up being a Hashira I think he would be angry because in his eyes you are a symbol of strength and you giving up makes him think you’re weak

eye contact I don’t know why I just feel like he’s the kind of person to constantly try and make eye contact with you

KYŌJURŌ RENGOKU

you would definitely have a lot of fun being his older sibling figure

Tons of compliments because he thinks you’re just great and he wants you to know it

definitely wary at first of being too attached to you because he doesn’t want the pain of losing you

Would support you if you decided you didn’t want to be a Hashira and would help you achieve your goal

constantly pushing you to do your best

You are the brains of every operation

he’s the little brother who stands just outside your door and says “I’m not in your room” when you tell him to get out

TENGEN UZUI

omg the most chaotic duo ever to exist because even if you’re chill he’s not so you won’t get or be either

you have to try really hard to keep him chill

a bit of a selfish sibling on the surface but is really caring deep down

you have to be friends with his wives you don’t get a choice

they all definitely love you too and like to hang out with you when he’s away

over all he’s giving that one meme that’s like

Uzui: “Can I have some of your fries”

You: “sure, can I have some of your burger”

uzui: “no”

Random person: “well that rude”

Uzui: “my burger has pickles on it she’s allergic to pickles do you want her to die”

SHINOBU KOCHŌ

I don’t think she’d want you around at first simply because I think that the person she’s always seen Kanae as her sister even in death

it will take a very long time so you’d start as friends but I think she’s slowly begin to give in to you taking care of her

like after missions if she comes home with a bloody scratch she goes to you to patch it up even though she knows she could do it herself

you are also now Kanao Tsuyuri’s older sibling to

you are going to be hearing a lot about Giyū being a freak and a loner

If you ever get sick she will try to make medicine for you

And if she gets sick she’ll refuse help at first until you force her

MUICHIRŌ TOKITŌ

A total air head and super forgetful

you’re going to have to remind him of everything he has to get done

there will be a lot of you taking care of him since he forgets when he has things to get done

He often acts like he doesn’t care but see down he does

when injured or sick he would avoid getting help

he would see it as not a big deal

however if you noticed and said something I think he would accept your help

generally pretty quiet I suppose

Deep down he’s got a lot of rage so I think he might snap at you occasionally.

(Sorry this one’s so short I don’t know much about him)

OBANI IGURO

Honestly a total ass but it makes sense with everything he went through

he is very petty and will try to get revenge for every little thing

he definitely Calls you weak sometimes or mocks you

you’re the only person he would ever allow to change the bandages on his face

only you would be allowed to see the scars

he would probably give his life for you

please help him talk to Mitsuri he needs it

not a great brother over all but I think he has some highlights

MITSURI KANROJI

stop I can see it now it would be such a cute family dynamic

she would want to make flower crowns with/for you

pretty quick to open up to the idea of an older sibling figure

please help her even though she’s a love Hashira she has no idea how to talk to Obani

she would make you food, definitely

I feel like she would enjoy going on walks to clear her mind of all the bad thoughts that come with being a demon slayer

she’s a hugger I know it

she laughs at all your jokes

if she’s sick she will whine that she’s dying and needs you to take care of her

if she gets hurt she will whine that she’s dying and needs you to take care of her

literally the best sister you could ever have

SANEMI SHINAZUGAWA

This ball of rage would be so overprotective

he would rarely let you take care of him because he didn’t want to be seen as weak

is always trying to push you to be stronger because he doesn’t like to hang around weak people

will go with you as back up on your missions

if anything ever happened to you because of a demon he would lose his shit

you have to stop him when he stabs nezuko cause he won’t listen to the others

he’s fun but very intense 8/10 on the brother scale

GYŌMEI HIMEJIME

He’s so emotional like he would be very sensitive to how you were feeling

if something is bothering you we’ll now it’s bothering him

would definitely be fine with you bandaging him up when he needs it

he would teach you all the things he knows even if you’re older than him

you’re his eyes

he gives you little trinkets

I think you are the type of siblings who can have a whole conversation without saying a word

EVERYONE TOGETHER

ANGST

what we’re you supposed to do the demon had obviously made a plan before coming here. You watched as he calculated exactly when to launch his attack on the others. You couldn’t let that happen they were your family and you would do anything for them. So before he got a chance you full force slammed your shoulder into his side knocking him over. Raising your sword you plunged it into his head before pulling it out. Just as you were about to sever his head something pierced through the front of your uniform into your uniform. With a barely contained scream you looked down and saw it was a large stone. The one he had been fighting with. With whatever strength you still had you sliced off his head. Just as he began to disappear you collapsed.

“hey guys” Mitsuri said softly her eyes slowly filling with tears. Looking over the other hashiras saw your limp body. With eyes wide Shinobu ran towards you as quickly as she could before dropping to her knees. Mitsuri followed closely behind followed by the others. Placing her ear to your chest she heard nothing. She pulled away before shaking her head and staring down at your Giyū turned walking away he couldn’t look. Gyōmei’s tears fell more rapidly than usual as he clasped his hands praying for your safe travel to the world above. Sanemi looked at where the demons face was still disintegrating and he stabbed it over and over. Obani and Muichiro both stood there eyes totally blank and hearts broken. After everything you had done to protect them they had been to weak to protect you when you needed them.

I feel really bad that this took so long. I got pretty sick a few days ago so I’m not doing my best: Sorry if this was bad it’s been a while since I’ve seen demon slayer so I don’t remember everything about the characters. Thanks for your request and I hope you have a wonderful day.

HE ASKED FOR NO PICKLES ❗❗❗

Manga Review: Fruits Basket

We often forget that love is more than just romantic. Natsuki Takaya does an excellent job delving into the human heart and analyzing the different ways people fall in love. Tohru, your average bakadere, accomplishes this just by being herself and soothing the other character’s hearts. She listens to them and says exactly what they need to hear most, even if it comes out weird. Takaya doesn’t portray romance like we normally see in anime or in western media. She focuses on how unconditional love can heal all wounds.

            A perfect example of this theme is when Tohru helps Yuki (the dandere) defend his ‘secret base’ (a small vegetable garden) from a typhoon. Yuki expresses that he only acts nice for himself, it’s not because he’s a nice person. He’s jealous that Kyo (the tsundere) can easily make friends and that’s why he’s nice. He wants to be liked. Tohru tells him that everyone has their own kindness that develops through their experiences. Yuki’s “is like a candle. It suddenly lights up” (Takaya, Vol. 1, 131-137).

            Another theme pops up as she is talking to Kyo as she makes rice balls with him. She mentions that he’s really good at making them and someone who’s been trying to learn would be jealous. He responds with that’s dumb. She comes up with the analogy that everyone has great qualities they cannot see in themselves because they’re like pickled plums that stick to rice. They’re stuck on someone’s back. Everyone else can see them except the person they’re stuck to. Kyo is a wonderful person (Takaya, Vol. 1, 262-267). This theme is important because it helps Tohru develop relationships with the other characters that pop up in the series. She can see everyone’s good qualities regardless of what trauma they’ve been through and how they lash out at those around them. She heals by accepting them for who they are, zodiac spirits and all.

            Takaya’s writing style helps keep the audience at ease as she tackles the hard topics of trauma. This easy-to-read format makes Tohru an effective protagonist. We find out that one of the other zodiac members, Hatori, fell in love only to have to erase his love’s memories after they tried to get permission from the family head, Akito, to marry. Akito lashed out and caused Hatori to go mostly blind in one eye, and his love, Kana, was mentally broken because she thought it was all her fault (Takaya, Vol. 1,  374-395).

            This introduces Akito as Tohru’s “rival” in this series. This is evidenced by Yuki telling Tohru’s friends “She (Tohru) deserves the moon but would never ask for it” (Takaya, Vol. 1, 224) versus Akito saying that he wants the moon (242). This is an excellent way to introduce and show the differences between Tohru and Akito. The narrative style follows a third person omnipotent view. The story is told mostly through dialogue and various character inner monologues. This is effective because the audience can get a clearer picture of what’s going on. The flashbacks are relevant to the story and help us understand what each character has gone through up to the point of the story.

            The largest problems I have with Takaya’s narrative is the story moves slowly and Tohru is a passive protagonist. If you’re not paying attention to the small details, you’ll miss how the relationships develop. The other important thing is the ending for this first volume is sad and nostalgic at the same time. It’s just the daily life of an average girl who stumbled into a supernatural family.

            Overall, I’d say this series is worth checking out and is one of my favorites because it brings a refreshing take on love through deep connections. Love is more than just romance. Be [1]prepared to fall for this series over and over through bittersweet heartache and blissful triumph.

Personalities: Inseparable from birth, Hoshiko and Hikari are always seen together no matter the circumstances! Hoshiko tends to act more shy and timid around people she doesn’t know but after a bit, she warms up to others to show off a bubbly and positive personality! Hikaru tends to be more stoic and serious than his sister but deep down, he’s just as energetic and positive as his sister! Hoshiko is a complete dreamer while Hikari tends to be the more realistic one but does have his moments of dreaming. People tend to see Hoshiko as the more chaotic of the two but this is a lie! Both of them are equally chaotic, Hoshiko just doesn’t see a need to hide it! The twins are both major pranksters and enjoy playfully messing with others! Both of the twins are friendly to all, including their enemies! They both just wish for people they love to be happy at the end of the day!

Backstory: Hikari and Hoshiko were born in a small town in the Shaftlands to two loving parents. Both of their parents were astronomers and so from an early age, the twins were exposed to the world of space and stars! As kids, the twins were quite shy and mostly hung out with one another, a trait that was carried on throughout their childhood. A bit later on in their childhood, the twins tried to not be as clingy to each other and to branch out from one another. Thought it took a while, the twins started to be seen as two separate people instead of a set! Though there still are times where they’re in perfect sync, they have their own hopes, dreams, and quirks! Later on in life, the both of them were accepted into RSA and sorted into Sanwaii.

Trivia!

You can never find one twin without the other! They seem to be inseparable!

Hikari is typically the one who writes the jokes while Hoshiko is the one to deliver them!

The twins came to hate radishes after their mother made a large stew made of radishes and they had to eat it for an entire month

The matching earrings they wear were a gift from their parents on their 14th birthday!

They’ve been best friends with fellow dorm mate Kisumi since day one at RSA!

Hikari typically acts as the distraction while Hoshiko is the one who pulls off a prank!

Hoshiko always seems to have a permanent grin while Hikari seems to have a permanent frown

Both of them don’t have a unique magic yet but they are working on discovering one!

[ryn-halo26]

Just like you

Pickle and Barista seem very similar, don't they?

[rubylarkspur22]

Questions and answers below the cut!

Sunlit Blossoms

1: Nezuko, How did you feel when Inosuke asked what gender was?

Confused. Especially since I didn't know he was raised by boars on a mountain, so I had no clue what the hell he was going on about when he asked that.

2: Zenitsu, Do you "like"-like Nezuko, and what do you like most about her personality?

I mean... I do have a crush on her, but she's made her boundaries pretty clear, so I'm trying to respect that. I really like how determined she is, and she's really kind. But she's also scary when she's mad, so I tend to avoid that...

3: Inosuke, How do you feel about Zenitsu and the Kamado siblings?

Tsukiko is a force to reckoned with! Not just anyone can bring the great Lord Inosuke to his knees as she has!

Kentaro doesn't seem like much. Unless he's angry. But he's usually not, so he isn't much of a threat!

Monitsu is a cowardly worm. That is all I have to say about him.

4: Nezuko, Have you ever had any "Family" Game Night with Mitsuri and the Rengoku family?

Well, we wouldn't play games. But we've definitely had nights where we would stay up and tell all sorts of stories to each other. Whether we couldn't sleep, or just felt like it, we would do it every now and then. We had a lot of funny stories, like Mitsuri lifting up a pickling stone as a toddler. It was pretty fun, and it felt nice to relax.

Moonlit Butterfly

1: Tanjirou, How do you feel about the Kochou sisters, and have you adopted them?

They're both lovely. It's kind of hard to adopt someone when you aren't living, but I'm proud of Nezuko for taking them in and looking after them.

2: Kanae, How do you feel about the Mugen Train? How did it go, and who were you with?

It certainly could have gone better. Of course, I was with Mister Rengoku and Shinobu, and my friends.

3: Nezuko, What's your Crow's name, and do you have a crush on anyone?

Her name is En[OOC: Shinobu's canon crow]. As for romance, I haven't been particularly interested in it. I'm just trying to look after the girls, and... it's not always easy. I don't want to drag anyone else into my problems, and... and I've already lost too many loved ones.

4: To everyone who was there, What happened in the Swordsmith Village, and how do you think it went?

Kanae: It was a little terrifying, but we pulled through, thankfully!

Shinobu: My life flashed before my eyes, and I'm still processing how the f*** I didn't die.

Mitsuri: It was both exhilarating and terrifying! I'm so glad we made it through!

Genya: We fought an Upper Moon and survived. That's good. Better than I expected.

Muichirou: We survived a fight against two Upper Moons with minimal casualties. I suppose that's good.

Who's the Most Likely, Least Likely, or Maybe Mothers for Hisame based on Classes, looks, supports, and/or mannerisms?

Most Child units inherit the hair color from their Mothers (with the exception of Male Kana, who inherited his father's hair color, and Shigure). But some parents are more fitting for some child units then others based on Classes, looks, supports, mannerisms, etc. I'm not looking for who would make the kid stronger. Just a parent who would make sense for the Child Units.

Recap: Asugi Rhajat Percy Ignatius

For this one it's about our rule-abiding and pickle-loving samurai.

Those that see (?) It means that I'm not sure if it counts as evidence or not.

Here's what I've gathered so far?

1.) Hisame's Flair tier is Salty - Hana's Flair tier is Salty too. If she's his mother, she probably was the one who taught him how to cook.

2.) In Hisame's C-support with his mother he will be very possessive of a locked diary that she found, leading her to remark that "a boy his age would have all kinds of thoughts best kept from his mother". It turns out it's just childhood memories. - Kagero is described as the best diary-keeper.

3.) In Hisame's supports with Velouria, it reveals that he is creeped out by bugs. - In Peri's support with Kaden, it's revealed she's afraid of bugs. She does like butterflies though.

4.) Hinata is more laid-back and has an informal attitude while Hisame is the opposite being more serious and a stickler for protocol. Although Hisame does have his quirks such as love of pickles and having difficulty talkinh to women - If Rinkah is his mother, he might've inherited her serious, no-nonsense personality as well as her stoicism. - Kagero has a more calm, aloof, serious personality although she is quirky with her due to her love of painting which result in it having a very warped aesthetic sense that tends to creep out anyone who witnesses her works. - Though hotblooded, Hinoka is more serious, no-nonsense and seems like the "Sane Man" when dealing with her 2 retainers. He also might've inherited a serious personality from Uncle Ryoma. - Hisame and Sakura don't seem to have great conversational skills. In Hisame's case it's women. He might've inherited a serious personality from Uncle Ryoma. - In The Hoshidan Children Festival DLC, if Hinata married Orochi, Hisame inherited his mother's powers to see the future (the festival support between Hisame and Orochi implies that's the reason he's serious and careful)

5.) Although Hisame is seemingly embarrassed by his Hinata but in truth Hisame is actually very envious of how carefree and laid-back his father is, and hates how uptight he is. - He might've inherited Selena's rebellious nature towards one of his parents, and her insecurity issues - Hisame might've inherited being insecure from Sakura. Her supports with Hinoka reveal she envies Hinoka's courage and combat prowess.

6.) In the epilogue, he eventually retires from fighting and becomes a renowned professor. - It seems to make sense if his mother is either Sakura (due to her disdain in warfare, and one of her promoted class is Onmyoji. You have to have your nose deep in the tomes if you want to be as expert in magic) or Orochi (Her base class Diviner, so her only weapon at the time is tomes. Like I said you have to have your nose deep in the tomes if you want to be as expert in magic. With Orochi gift of seeing the future, she would have to seriously study charms to divine a future, a gift Hisame inherits if she's his mother as it's revealed in the Hoshidan festival.).

7.) Hisame (氷雨) means Chilly Rain or Hail. - The name could be a reference to Felicia as she's from the Ice Tribe

What Hisame could inherit from his possible mother in Hoshidan Festival of Bonds - The Hoshidan Children Festival DLC states that if Hinata married Orochi, Hisame inherited his mother's powers to see the future. - Hisame will inherit Selena's shopaholic tendencies and rebellious nature. - Hisame inherits Azura's talent in singing - Hisame inherits Setsuna's tendency to fall into traps and pitfalls - Hisame inherits Felicia's scatterbrainess (he accidentally picked up a toy katana instead of a real one) - I think Hisame inherited Hana's preparedness as in their festival support as Hisame brought with him a needle and thread when Hana's headband got torn (call-back to Hinata and Hana's support).

For the looks department I can't help there since I normally can't tell which child unit looks like who more. Anyway I'd like to hear your thoughts on who is the Most Likely, Least Likely, or Maybe Mothers for Hisame based on Classes, looks, supports, and/or mannerisms. If there's any small facts I missed, you can comment.

Also, I've been thinking in the Hoshidan Festival part where I only list those where the support explicitly said the child unit inherited something from their parent, would you like me to add a short summery or a sentence of the festival support of the child-parents that don't say the child unit inherited anything from the parent? (Ex: some child units like Kagero's art, and other festival child-parents support make call-back on married units support, like Hisame in his festival support with Peri mentions the ribbon from her support with Hinata)
