Headcannon to counter the tails/sonic angst going around >;( I SEE YOU @0vergrowngraveyard!!!! YOU STARTED THIS DIDNT YOU!?!?!?
Tails was shot by Metal Sonic with Eggman’s newest weapon using a chaos emerald. Initially Metal thought it would tare recent through the fox, being that on testing it on other living things, the result was just that. However when the light faded the Metal hedgehog was staring right at a baby fox on the ground looking scared.
Metal Sonic had such a hard time processing this that Sonic immediately shattered the bot to nothing but scrap, (Doesn’t kill the inorganic copy due to its memory being remotely updated to the egg-cloud every hour or so) allowing the hedgehog to swipe the emerald out of the newly broken pile lying on the grass.
When Sonic runs over to the crater where the fox was standing the first thing he notices is the socks and shoes of his fox bro lying there, causing him to nearly loose himself and seek out Eggman to kill him. But just as he turns to go on the hunt to avenge his sidekick, he hears an infantile cry and finds a brown fox cub lying under the pair of socks.
Sonic gathers the pairs of shoes and socks for when his brother returns to normal, (they were his favorite hand-me-downs after all. The fox would be devastated if they were lost), but finds the cub is more elusive than he would have thought due to his small size. Realizing the little guy might not fully remember him or be scared, Sonic decides to be patient and allow the fox to come to him instead. This works far better when as soon as the fox calms down some fragment of his memory remembers his brother as the only safe place he knows and quickly attaches to him after some coaxing in the form of the mints he keeps in his quills for the kit.
The big question they have after talking with all their friends and netting professor pickle is why did the emeralds’ power do so much damage but spare the fox when it killed almost everything in it’s path when fired into anything else?
In short, the fox gets chosen by the emeralds to be a chaos user, but because he’s not a male hedgehog like shadow, sonic, or silver has to be given a new body altogether. Thus, the kit can suddenly become super when all the emeralds are near as they are now attracted to him just like Sonic when he’s experiencing strong positive or negative emotions. (See previous fics I made for @0vergrowngraveyard)
This is also where the fox’s new form comes in, being a bright blue with nine Tails (possibly meaning they turned him into a kitsune…? 0_0)while his previous color was yellow like Sonic’s when he had to use his chaos energy to go super. Now though, after the transformation his eyes gradually shift from blue to green when he ages just like Sonic. In fact, now that his friends look at him he could almost be mistaken for being Sonic’s weird kid…
And that’s what ended up happening. The emeralds turned the fox back into a cub with a newly minted chaos user’s body to finally be granted a family at the young age he deserved…
Yes, this was a long winded way of me working Dadnic into actual cannon MWAHAHAHA >;D

For the ask game, please! Kitsune Izuku wanting parents so he kidnaps Inko and Toshinori since they look perfectly parent-shaped. (Kitsune Izuku is stronger than All Might.)
Izuku actually has a father, All Spirits in One, but he didn't show up home for a while so he got replaced.
Izuku decided he wants the dad who is "always here" because his own father is never there. He was hanging around the playground in his fox form and overheard Inko telling Mitsuki that she always wanted kids but never had them, so he decided to fulfill her wish.
All Might has had a LOT of scammers claim to have given birth to his child because he's a big celebrity. He's super-confused and initially thinks this is another paternity scam. Izuku rolls with it and fakes DNA test results with his magic. All Might buys it. Inko, who knows she was never pregnant, does not. She's mostly just confused.
All Might is determined to make up for his absence to his long-lost son. He spoils Izuku with gifts/merch and takes him along when fighting villains. (No one ever accused All Might of knowing very much about kids but fortunately Izuku can take care of himself.) All Might is a teacher at U.A. and takes Izuku to meet all the other kids.
Katsuki has a natural ability for seeing through magic and tells everyone that Izuku is a kitsune but no one believes him. Nezu believes him but pretends not to because he's determined to recruit Izuku.
Gran Torino gives All Might a long lecture for not using protection. Izuku is delighted to get a bonus grandfather.
Izuku finds out about Shouto's past and kicks Enji's ass. Since Izuku demonstrates both blue foxfire and shapeshifting abilities, he gets mistaking for Touya Todoroki. Enji is pissed that All Might adopted his son. Dabi is even more PISSED.
While All Might is sending Inko apology gifts and taking her out to dinner they end up falling in love. At that point Inko decides to just roll with it and adopt Izuku.

Not sure whether I'll manage to finish BoS someday, so let me spill the beans about the plot of future chapters, before my writing block and lack of discipline (and hope) run me over lol Some details I've already talked about, some I have not.
-Huang Hua was the responsible for bringing Seihai back.
-How? Seihai turned herself to stone, but after her 'death' we notice how Huang Hua still thinks about her, and even sees her sometimes. The thing is: when dragon-Lance breaks free from the crystal, HH medidates, then collects the fragments scattered around the room and no one knows that she's been charging them again with her own energy.
-It's not enough though, she also needs the energy of an aengel/daemon (she uses Leiftan's in secret, in order to avoid using Erika's, but well... he flees), and of a dragon. Lance's somewhere unknown, Alajea, Colaia, and Enthraa are dead, her only choice is Seihai, after all her body is still intact and because of the petrified state she wasn't not even given a fenghuang burial, she only needs to bring Seihai's soul back and guide it back to her body. Those images that Seihai saw during her petrified state were result of HH's ritual.
-In short terms, HH's sacrificed her title by disrespecting the lines between life and death (a parallel to the kitsunes who aren't appreciated for doing that either) in order to create a replica of the crystal for Eldarya's sake, that's why she's enforcing the Phoenix title to her sister, somewhat projecting into her. HH herself didn't think she would be capable of doing such ritual, but well, let's remember the weird feeling Erika had while visiting HH's mind in TO. The "omg I'm suuuuuch a good person" people are more often than not, the most dangerous and that's the idea with HH in BoS, good people are more easily corrupted in comparison to who is already labelled as a piece of crap, precisely because of how good people see themselves as better than the others. They easily fall from grace because of their pride and arrogance.
-Problem is that HH didn't realize the risks of messing with dragons. With the ritual, she'd also open some sort of portal to the souls of other dead serpents. Till now, we see two serpents in action: Corra the celtic serpent goddess (in Seihai's dream), and Coatlicue, the aztec mother goddess (when she intercedes for Leiftan). There's also, ofc, Tiamat, she appears the first time briefly when the Advisors test Seihai. Corra was more the "quiet observant" type of goddess, but Coatlicue was Leiftan-biased thanks to her own story with aengels/daemons.
-Erika however ends up corrupted because of HH's lack of trust in her and her "I won't tell you things, even if you're my friend" behavior, without realizing HH was actually trying to protect Erika. It was better to use Leiftan's energy than Erika's. That was an important part of the reason for why Leiftan didn't access his powers: his attachment to Erika, but also HH's ritual draining him.
-Tenjin kicks Erika out of the north the moment she transforms and proceeds to fight Seihai. It's part of his development here, he could have gone after Erika and dragon-Lance, but he stayed with Seihai and took care of the wounds caused by the fight. Actually his character journey could fill a post too.
-At the end, with her failure of a replica, Huang Hua tries to make up for her actions and uses her life force to keep the portal open. She remains there near the mushroom circle completely still, her aura shining brightly to give time for other faerys to come and cross the portal with them. Erika goes first to guide them on the other side and Nevra is the last one to cross. When he turns to her and ask her to come, the portal is already closing and he can't reach her anymore (it will be one of his traumas on earth btw, he will never forgive himself for not being quick enough to pull her, iho he could have saved her) and her last thought is Ewelein. From the start, HH had nothing more to lose, giving her life for Eldarya was the least of her problems.
-That's the ending I imagine for them and the same happens with seiten, they die in the north after forcing the kitsunes to cross with the royal family. But my heart is too weak for that, I want them to have a happy ending aaaa lmao

fuck it - my teen wolf movie fix-it
i literally just did this all day bcs of how much the movie pissed me off - this is legit just everything I would've done different if I was the one making the damn movie (written in bullet points (bcs im lazy) under the cut)
PRE MOVIE STUFF
Aight so first off, Eli (named after Derek's dear old dad) was the result of a one-stand (pre-Braeden bcs he ain’t a cheater)
Derek doesnt even know he exists till Melissa calls him to the hospital (he still w Braeden for now) but babymama got in a crash and the kid’s there- DNA test says he the babydaddy but Braeden ain’t about that,, like she respects it but she ain’t ready to settle down in a nuclear family typa situation and he ain’t holding it against her neither so it’s like an amicable parting yk? And there begins the tale of single dad!Derek (like this is right at the end of the show or wtv bcs the timeline gives me a headache)
Now if he wants to keep shit in the clear regarding the FBI when it comes to Eli’s life so he calls Stiles, Cora and Peter to form a plan to handle that shit
The only thing they come up with is kinda turning him in (Peter is not fan but o well)
They go the old Hale house w the Sheriff and Argent and call the FBI, not long enough to trace the call but long enough to give his message: one person, anyone they want, at that location and they can wear a tracker, a wire, wtv but they sit down and listen bcs he ain’t going into custody for something he didn’t do
At first the FBI wants to send Stiles but he’s just like ‘uh,,, conflict of interest?’ bcs they went to school together even if they weren’t in the same grade (but also bcs they’d somehow have to pretend they don’t know each other and that’s just messy) so they send Rafael (Scott’s dad) instead bcs he’s the official liaison with the sheriffs
So he pops up and he’s gets them to explain the situation like they barely know the man bcs they probably don’t before ‘Scott’s dad’ but obviously without werewolves and hunters
Argent’s there as a character witness bcs yes Kate was that batshit + she legit groomed Derek when he was in highschool (15-16 and traumatised vs 20-21 and actively seeking to harm him and his family)
Plus no one even knew Cora was still alive but that was bcs she didn’t want Kate trying it again so the FBI leaves that be and she goes back to South America bcs Beacon Hills shit is just way too much
So they drop the charges against him and move their attention to Kate (no one knows if she’s alive or dead or what but who cares)
LATER
Nah he did not weirdly traumatise his kid while saving him only for it to be fine and dandy when Scott roars in his face
See they live in the woods and w the scent of shifters, especially Malia (a werecoyote), keeps the actual coyotes away
He’s just a slow developer bcs he’s half human and he’s worried all the time about whether he’ll ever shift bcs he might not yk
Liam did not move to Japan
The pack just gave the box to a kitsune community (they don’t really have packs but they do have families and communities in that sense) that Yukimura Noshiko told them about bcs kitsune can handle nogitsune a whole lot better than wolves
Instead of the random ass Liam x Hikari thing, they’re friends - he ain’t the emissary but he’s still the one making the trips on the behalf of the McCall Pack + he learns Japanese bcs that’s like one of the only parts of canon that ain’t too bad
Ykw Theo goes w him bcs he has literally nothing in Beacon Hills and he’s still tryna prove himself to the pack bcs ~guilt complex~ and bcs Thiam obvsly
Kira and Issac are back and Scira AND Scisaac are canon bcs I said so - he has two hands
Isaac came back with Argent when Eli popped up
Alec still exists bcs why include the future of the pack and then forget he exists??
Plus Theo, Corey, Nolan??? 
Harris never died/was never sacrificed (but almost) bcs the Darach let him go as a twisted thanks for the help or wtv but no one knows so he’s just AWOL the whole time (bcs the movie just goes ‘surprise bitch’ and don’t explain HOW he's for some reason-)
Scott didn’t just move away from his pack, his mum, etc. it just don't sound like him
The old pet shelter in Beacon Hills (conveniently near Deaton’s clinic) ends up needing a new owner after the owner basically goes ‘I’m too old for this shit’ so he’s the new owner yay
He still gets his vet degree bcs my boy worked hard for that shit
Lydia and Stiles don’t work out bcs I don’t want it to- sorry Stydia
She’s still a genius doing wtv she was doing in the movie bcs fuck yea renewable energy
He’s no longer doing his FBI stuff bcs he realised the supernatural in the cases and couldn’t do a thing about it so now he’s basically like the Sherlock or Columbo or wtv of the supernatural world
Stiles still lives in Beacon Hills bcs it’s a supernatural hub which makes it easier for his work
Nolan is dealing w hunter shit
Corey is temporarily away on work stuff or smth soz bro making things up is harder than it used to be
Mason is not a cop bcs no
Mans gets his degree bcs he’s the puppy pack's designated nerd and he’s a chem teacher at the high school (he’s also the councillor bcs that easy he can tell who’s supernatural to make things easier for everyone)
Malia and Derek set up the Hale autoshop while rebuilding the Hale Packhouse like it used to be
Isaac lives w them
We actually remember that the Hales are rich bitches
Bcs the house is massive and meant for yk a wolf pack rather than a small family, the McCall Pack use it as a sort of substitute packhouse bcs ain’t no one else rich so when Stiles, Theo or Liam are in town, they’ll stay there or if there’s some pack thing, there’s plenty of space for the lot of em
Roscoe ends up in the Hale autoshop bcs it’s too recognisable for Stiles' work but once Derek got rid of the ridiculous amounts of duct tape on it, he managed to fix the thing
ON TO THE MOVIE
Beginning bit still happens and the thingie gets free boohoo
Isaac also works at the shelter w Scott and is also having Allison dreams but Kira helps them understand the dreams + the ritual (which is also why Deaton dealt w Argent alone bcs kitsune also reply compulsively to riddles(?) me thinks)
Also Scott isn’t weirdly hung on Allison like sure the movie was cute and Scalia was weird af imo but Scira was fr fr and yet they kept on w the whole ‘they’re the only ones for each other’ crap which ain’t it
Eli still has an obsession with Roscoe (sames)
Mason is also a consultant with the arson cases bcs chem teacher + accelerant fires (the sheriff’s station isn’t exactly the most high tech of places)
Stiles is in Mexico sans Roscoe bcs of a possible lead on Kate bcs they did not need her adding fuel to the metaphorical fire
Shit ain’t awkward w Scalia bcs that was never really a thing (she just copied Lydia’s panic attack hack to save his butt/eyes rather than snogging bcs emotions)
No more ‘o Eli barely knows anyone - they all left when he was a kid’ this nerd now a bajillion uncles and aunts or wtv and also there ain’t no way wolves use that ‘2nd cousin once removed’ bull bcs its my canon and that shit don't make no sense to me - anyone from your parents gen is basically your uncle/aunt
The dork’s like a living bestiary just bcs of everyone he knows
Never realised just how canon the autistic!Malia hc was damn
More rage from Malia at seeing Derek, her cousin!!, almost die - nerds had 15 years to get to know each other
Oni dimensional transportation magic is in a similar vein to the wild hunt’s
slashing/decapitation = death
Straight stabbing = transportation
Yea we get it Peter’s a dick wtv - he ain’t that much of a dick so he ain’t so lighter-happy but he gets it done bcs a cigarette lighter ain’t exactly gonna get it handled
Peter x Melissa? Aight. Melissa x Argent? No- it ain’t it, dating when you’re kids are/did
Peter and Argent are top tier frenemies tho
Kira goes with Lydia and Jackson to try and deal with the nogitsune
Isaac and Scott go to deal w Allison
No weird ‘save Allison’ speech when she’s hunting a child like prioritise y’all also,,, Scira+Scisaac bitches duh
Post sheriff's station, Kira goes with Hikari, Theo and Liam bcs handling the human behind the nogitsune would only do so much but yea they still get captured due to a lack of silver
Nogitsune can’t help but brag like a dick at Kira’s arrival bcs of his history with the Yukimura clan
Ain’t no ‘aishiteru’ on my watch simply bcs i do not vibe
Yea Scott and Isaac are having mad flashbacks + wolfsbane poisoning whew
She just sticks a couple of poisoned arrows in Isaac and leaves him half-dead in the forest bcs convenience and drags him back to the base as insurance
The convincing, the confessions, the flashbacks can include Scott but not for the most part - she dropped him and they were good w it; the show sidelining her boyfriend for her ex in her death scene was bad enough
Kira and Hikari work together to save Scott with their foxfire bcs being in the nogitsune’s realm dampens everyone powers, including theirs
DEREK DOES NOT DIE FUCK THAT SHIT
EVERYONE’S THERE AND THEY ALL CAME AS THEY DID IN THE NORMAL REALM (AKA BEACON HILLS) SO THEY USE THE WEAPONS AND TURN HIM INTO A NASTY FOX-WOLF-PINCUSHION AND (THROWBACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE) KIRA SKEWERS THE BITCH RIGHT DOWN THE FUCKING MIDDLE SO NO ONE HAS TO HOLD HIM DOWN WHEN PARRISH LIGHTS THE MOTHERFUCKER UP
o and obvsly no ‘Derek's a true alpha’ stuff bcs the lore is way too confused already and I’m pretty sure you can’t be a true alpha if you’ve killed
Ahem
Because of how old the nogitsune is/primordial shit, no one really knows if he’s dead frfr but at least he’s no longer physically in their realm so yay
Scira 🤝 Scisaac 🤝 Allisaac
Hikari gets to go home and forget Beacon Hills ever existed (good for her)
At the end of the movie, post credit style, Stiles returns to Beacon Hills, safe and sound, having sent Kate to werejaguar prison (AKA the Eichen House of Mexico) bcs she was also heading to Beacon Hills w dreams of Allison
He caught her past New Mexico, having avoided the Hamrammr (substitute species for sk*nw*lk*rs bcs that term ain’t mine to use; it's the Norse term for shapeshifter - separate from berserker and other shifter myths; just replace the species role for role; they're also rare and hecking good at what they do etc etc)
Anywho mans starts like 'you would not believe what I just went through blah blah', all rambling and everyone just looks at him. like. :| and then he's like 'what did you do?' and Derek explains everything bcs Scott's busy with the polycule lmao
And then Sterek kiss bcs 15 years of denial, PLUS the queerbaiting AND getting superhelled is more than enough thanks
THE END (OF THIS WHOLE FUCKING UNIVERSE)

“ Secrets of the Future” {either of your genshin verses :) }
Neka found himself all alone in a long, dark hallway. There was something off about...not just the space itself, but the area as a whole. It was difficult to fully describe, but it felt like a dream yet also not one at the same time. As a kitsune, he could enter and exit dreams without much effort at all. His first test was closing his eyes and focusing on another location, which would normally allow him to blink at least some distance in the desired direction, but his efforts came to naught. So he had to play by the rules of this particular location. How dull.
Well, he wouldn't get far if all he could do was ponder and not actually go anywhere, right? He'd chalk it up as a mental space and worry about the details later. Getting a better look around his surroundings, Neka was able to make out twelve mirrors on alternating sides of the hallway. A normal human would likely find it too dark to make them out, but with his enhanced vision it was simple.
The mirrors might look solid, but he knew of instances where one would be lulled into a false sense of security, only for a monster to jump out of the seemingly solid surface and either killed or dragged back into the mirror. He wasn't paranoid about such things, since even in his current state he was confident he could overpower any monster seeking to get the jump on him.
Despite stepping lightly, his footsteps send loud echoes throughout the room, each pace thundering. Coming up to the first mirror, Neka did not see himself looking back at him. No, what greeted him was a fox. A fox with white fur and piercing green eyes. Certainly a rarity, and its identity was obvious from those traits alone. It wasn't as though he remembered that period, so Neka walked right by it to the next mirror.
If there were any doubts as to just what these mirrors were showing him, they all went away when Neka beheld the being in the second fixture: a precocious, wide-eyed child with a single fox tail. Bright blond hair and glimmering emerald eyes greeted Neka from the mirror. A sweet, innocent child yet to taste the bitter fruit of the world, but unfortunately cursed with a human heart. It was arguably the time period in which he was happiest, still ignorant of life's cruelty, but that would change shortly, if Neka's suspicions about the mirrors was correct.
Though his haughty turn and strolling along belied it, being reminded of that period of his life filled Neka with regret, already preparing himself for the third mirror. And sure enough, the more mature-looking, two-tailed kitsune that looked out from the glass was nothing like the previous one. Gone was the kind eyes and soft face, replaced with angry, berserker tears rolling down his face. In contrast, this was the lowest part of his life, which was saying a lot, but it was likely only due to his previous incarnation's innocence that resulted in him falling so far.
Who could blame him? It was then he had learned that his mother had passed her curse along to him, and it was the only reason he existed at all. It would have been much easier to accept had he simply embraced being a youkai, but he was far too innocent and kind to feed on humans like his instincts told him. Having been abandoned, he sought to live among the humans instead, but they rejected him for being a kitsune. Too human to be a monster, too monstrous to be a human, discarded by even his own mother. If nobody would return his kindness, then he would just resort to embracing his kitsune nature, taking what he wanted, and dealing with anything that got in his way.
Looking at the other kitsune in the mirror, Neka did not regret the things he did back then, nor the lives he took. Humans that would reject kindness, even from a youkai, had no place in his world. He would do the same thing again if he found himself in a similar situation.
But things would get better, as Neka left the third mirror behind. Gazing at the fourth mirror, the Neka that stared out had three tails, as expected, and looked far more mellow. Was it true happiness? His experiences of the past would never leave him, nor would his newfound cynicism, but he finally had found someone who respected his existence: Baal, or Makoto as he called her. Oh, how innocent even this Neka was; he'd already been through a lot, but thought that the worst of it was over.
His nine tails quivered almost uneasily as Neka made his way past the next few mirrors. The four, five, and six-tailed versions of himself did not display great changes. The centuries were stable, the calm before the storm. Neka took in a short breath; he knew what awaited him behind the eighth mirror: his seven-tailed self.
If it was a shocking change between his second and third 'selves', the contrast between the previous incarnation and the current one was just as severe. His once green eyes had turned blood red and angry tears rolled down his cheeks freely. Splotches of his hair, fur, and skin were pitch black is if they were burnt.
The war with Khaenri'ah and the ensuing cataclysm had happened in the intervening years, resulting in his beloved Makoto's death and the abyssal invasion. Neka had tried to purify Inazuma using his fortune and onmyoudou powers, but ended up absorbing too much of the curses and corruption in the process, gnawing away at his very soul. Truly inconsolable, between her death, inability to fulfill her end of their contract, and the afflictions he'd taken on, it required all his willpower to even stay alive.
The mere act of looking at this version of himself was painful for Neka, so he quickly moved along to the ninth mirror. Eight tails, and an almost comatose look to him. At least 100 years spent sealed away in a domain in case he became a corrupted monster while in constant agony from the curses did not do wonders for him. His eyes had returned to their usual green hue and no longer cried, but they were completely devoid of any shine. He truly appeared as a hollow shell of himself, but the truly worst of it was over. Yes, he still had over 400 years left before he was free, but he could slowly purge himself of the curses to lessen his burden.
With a heavy sigh, Neka traveled on to the tenth version of himself. It had to have been recent; he'd had nine tails for several centuries now, but the expression on his face was one only his current self would make, almost full of hope again. But the existence to two further mirrors piqued his curiosity, so he was quick to continue on his journey.
It had been such a roller coaster of a sojourn, seeing just how his mindset had changed over his 1200 years of life. But there were still two more to go, and he was already at his current self. Just what was left for him?
Ominously, this mirror was cracked so that he couldn't really see the figure behind it. There were two important features about it that let him instantly recognize it anyway. Pure black hair and a red aura? That had to have been the Black Sun Kitsune, the form he had taken when purging the remainder of the curses he'd absorbed all that time ago. It was a strange experience being able to witness things from your own perspective but unable to talk or control your own body. He still managed to help his companion against the manifestation of the curses, fighting from the inside until it had weakened enough for him to force his own will back into the forefront. There were still a few stray curses left, but he could finish purifying that on his own later.
Eleven down, one to go, and even if Neka had not come to the conclusion by process of elimination, the cold chill shooting up his spine told him that this one wasn't like the others. All of those were past versions of himself, but there was only one thing left for him to become, and it was something he'd been dreading his entire life.
An aspect of himself that had been forced to take on, from his own mother no less. One that he'd been denying his entire life, running from it, hiding from it. What form it would take was unclear, but he wagered it would be either a full fox or very similar to his current self.
At long last, the final mirror. It wasn't cracked like the previous one, yet the figure shown within the pane was obscured all the same; it was big, shadowy, and had piercing red eyes. A creature that Neka had never seen before, but he knew that this is what he was destined--cursed--to become. The Fox of Calamity, something that had originally been a part of Inari's being, but she had foisted it upon him to save herself that fate.
Neka had no idea when he was going to become such a ruinous monster, and this vision didn't narrow it down at all, either. His past was painful to experience, yes, but this, this THING, was so anathema to him that for the first time since appearing in this mental space, he appeared enraged. Glaring at the mysterious monster in the mirror, Neka finally spoke.
"So you're what I'm destined to turn into, are you? Hmph. Well, my fortune powers are the opposite of the thing known as destiny or fate. I can avoid futures I find unappealing with the proper amount of fortune. You will be no more my fate than the Black Sun Kitsune was, fizzling out before it had a chance to exist in the forld."
Then, to Neka's surprise, not only did the murky fox respond to him, it did so not with his own voice, nor with a deeper version of it, but with a voice that he hadn't heard for over 1000 years. One that filled his heart with such in intense loathing that it was fit to burst from his chest in sheer unadulterated rage. Inari. His mother. Formerly a youkai, now a god in Celestia.
"Oh, foolish child," the fox replied, both amusement and detachment evident in the tone. "If such a fate could be so easily rewritten by you, there would be no reason for you to even exist, since I would have been able to avoid it for myself. Don't forget the last time you relied too much on the gifts that you got from me, you cursed yourself so badly you almost turned into the Fox of Calamity early."
There were so many things that Neka wanted to tell Inari, and absolutely none of them were nice. Despite the sheer hatred he bore for any being possessing Inari's voice, Neka didn't let it overpower his reasoning. "You fail to realize one thing. Two things, really, but the other isn't nearly as important. Either way, you failed because you were not a god. Despite your gifts, at the time, you were just a youkai like me. You only became a god after you'd turned me into this accursed vessel."
The tone that 'Inari' took when replying to him came off as her barely even acknowledging his existence. "Do you think you'll be able to become a god as you are? You know as well as I do that you have no chance of getting the necessary faith to truly ascend, and do you truly think I could have become a god had I still been the Fox of Calamity? You might act all wise and bitter at the world, but the fact is you're still naive."
Rather than rise to her bait, Neka simply crossed his arms over his chest and let out a huff. “Yes, but the two of us are merely talking hypotheticals that neither of us knows for a fact, so the solution here is to see which of us is right. And no matter which one it is, I will be seeing you again. But before I leave you, allow me to tell you your second mistake. And that's underestimating my hatred for you. You assumed that I would hold a grudge against the humans and that's what would fuel my transformation. In that sense, you're not exactly wrong, but humans are stupid, weak, and untrustworthy. But I've known that about them for a long time. You? I trusted you and you betrayed that trust. You have no concept of motherhood or love, and that's why I hate you the most. And you know what that means: if I DO ever turn into that thing, the first person it will attack is you. Celestia or not, I will find you.”
Inari simply sighed in response, as if already done with the conversation. “And you assume that I can't deal with you even in that form? You forget, but it's been over 1000 years since I've become a god, so not even you will find me easy prey. But I get the feeling that you already have gotten the message I was trying to send, that you should always know that you're a monster, and even if you don't think yourself as one, you will still become the Fox of Calamity either way~”
Despite the murky figure in the mirror not having any visible hands, nor would one expect a quadrupedal fox to have them, but a snap was heard, and the sound of glass shattering started out in the distance and grew closer. Looking in the direction of the noises, Neka saw the rest of the mirror fragmenting, their occupants nowhere to be seen. Not just them, the entire hallway splintered and fell away, leaving only a void in their wake.
In little time, the rending reached Neka and Inari, her mirror disintegrating, but she did not disappear like the others, and for the first time, Neka could behold the dark fox clearly. All traces of Inari were gone, however, so all that remained was his so-called future self. By itself, it didn't look like much, but one could make the same argument for Neka himself, and few would be able to guess that he could take a form similar to Durin in size. If anything this creature would be far bigger if actually manifested in the world.
While Neka had his doubts he'd be able to pull it off, he resolved himself to finding a way—any way save for one—to avoid becoming this vile creature, a mindless beast fueled by curses and grudges that only sought to dominate and destroy. The whole experience, coupled with having an unplanned conversation with Inari after so long, had shaken him enough to the point where all he wanted to do was leave the voidlike space he found himself in.
Perhaps it was Inari that had kept him from leaving when he initially tried, because when he attempted to do so again, he suddenly found himself inside his personal domain once again. He still had a long way to go to back up his bold words, and he had no idea how much time he had left...

Chapter 2:
Rated: M
Trigger: Brief mentions of violence and swearing
Summary:
Twins. Children created from her blood and the blood of a creature that was only legend. Avia Harker must now begin an arduous journey to protect her children from dark forces, but her heart as well, least she fall prey for a being that once insnaired her grandmother.
“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.” - Richard Bach
Avia watched as the horses ran among the large field: black, brown, white and some in between with their coloring. Two years had passed since she found her son and daughter, since then they had brought more light into her large home. 
“There you are, mother. Nora Obasan and I were wondering where you had gone,” a soft child-like voice spoke from behind her.
Turning around she was greeted by her twelve year old daughter, Akagi, her long dark brown hair dancing around her as the wind picked up. Her dark brown furred ears flickered around her slightly as her mahogany colored eyes seemingly glowed in the setting sun.
“Well you have found me. What's wrong, my dear Akagi?”  Avia asked as she reached up, adjusting her black cowboy hat on top of her head.
“Melania, has managed to find Kaga's lipgloss and painted her whole face with it,” Akagi replied with a slight giggle.
Avia let out a soft huff as she smiled, holding out her hand to the young kitsune,” Shall we go? I don't want Kaga to be upset.”
Akagi giggled as she took Avia's hand and they began to make their way home,” Kaga won't be too mad at our dear little sister.”
Avia chuckled as they approached their rustic ranch home, as they entered through the front door, she was instantly tacked by a blob of white and blue. Avia let go of Akagi's hand before she placed it upon her other daughter's white hair while being mindful of her white ears.
“Now. Now, Kaga. What happened sweetheart?” Avia asked with a soothing tone, watching as Kaga's white nine tails drooped downward.
“Melania,” Kaga began with a sniffle,” She went into my lipgloss collection and messed it all up.”
“I'm sure she didn't mean to mess it all up. I think she just wanted to be pretty like her big sister,” Avia replied as she gently pulled Kaga away from her and wiped her tears from her cheeks.
“Ah! There you are, Avia. I'm sorry for this. I was taking care of Micheal when Melania gave me the slip,” Nora called out from the hallway, holding Micheal on one hip while Maleina sat on the other.
“No worries. I'll go ahead and take my little terrors-” Avia began to say when suddenly she was cut off when a tall man emerged from the living room area, cutting in with a soft gruff tone,” Forgive my intrusion, Ms. Harker, but we received a phone call from Sir Hellsing in Great Britain.”
Avia took Micheal from Nora, placing him onto her hip as she turned to face him,” Now there is a name I haven't heard from in some time. Did Integra give a reason for her phone call, Eleojo?”
The dark skinned male locked eyes with hers, golden eyes glittered with a warmth that could rival that of the sun, as he replied back,” Yes she did. It appears she was recently attacked and requests our assistance to help train any possible recruits.”
Avia raised an eyebrow as she cut in,” I trust you informed her of my children?”
“Of course she has no problem providing us with housing, and other things we may need. Though she wished to speak with you about Micheal and Melania's father.” Eleojo responded, when Avia sensed his hestantancy, she chimed in,” So I take it Morris arrived and spoke to Integra about my children.”
Eleojo's lips twitched upward as he replied,” He did and just in time. He managed to impress Sir Hellsing,” Avia snorted as she thought about the brunette, “Oh lord. Who did he punch?”
“Sir Hellsing's vampire. Impressed both her and the vampire himself. So he managed to do the test that was requested and she wishes to discuss the results with you before she did so with her vampire,” Eleojo replied as he shifted his head causing his black braided hair to jiggle slightly due the black beads that were decorating the end of his hair. 
Avia let out a hum as she glanced down at her children, letting out a soft sigh, she looked up at Eleojo, “Well I suppose we better get everything ready for a trip to good old England.”
Soon they were all on a private plane heading toward London. Upon their arrival, Avia had Micheal and Melania upon her hips as Akagi and Kaga stayed close to her sides, their ears and tails twitching at the sounds that were around them. Behind them were Nora and Eleojo taking up the rear. It was then that Avia spotted the familiar tall figure of James Morris and began to walk toward him.
“Uncle?” Micheal asked, looking up at her with happiness.
“Uncle!” Malania exclaimed excitedly as she began to bounce up and down.
James chuckled as he approached them reaching out, taking Melania from her and placing her on his own hip.
“Come to escort us to Integra, James?” Avia asks with amusement as she watches James reach over and messes with Micheal's hair.
“Correct. How have you been? Sister Nora? Eleojo?” James asks as he signals for them to follow.
Avia follows them, listening to Nora and Eleojo answer, as they make their way to the large vand and soon they arrived at the Hellsing manor.
“It's quite large. Don't you agree, Kaga?” Akagi hummed out with curiosity.
“Yes sister. It is quite large.” Kaga replied as she looked over at Akagi.
Avia watched with a small chuckle as the two young girls were looking out the window, she turned her attention to her two year olds, she allowed a smile to appear when she noticed that the two were quietly looking at their surroundings. As they pulled in, Avia made sure everyone else was out of the vehicle before her, opting to take the rear. Avia stepped out, taking quick notice that James and Nora were holding Micheal and Melania respectively, before she returned her attention back toward the entrance of the mansion where she could see the familiar long blonde hair woman standing outside with sharp blue eyes staring at her with a hint of warmth in them as Avia walked over to her. As they stood apart from each other, Avia smiled as she spoke,
“It's been a long time Integra. Heard you needed some help. How can I help you?”
Avia watched as Integra gave her a slight smirk. In that instance, two friends would once more work together to put down an enemy that was once slumbing in the dark. As well as the vampire that would come to help move the cogs into place.
(Here is chapter 2. I hope you enjoy it! I promise the next chapter will have Alucard!)

Kitsune Mating - Past and Present
Tumblr media
Cause I know I made a post like this before but Tumblr's a shit site and I can't find it at all.
In the Realm of Mythos, Kitsunes enter a Mating Season from December 18th to January 21st every year once they've reached maturity. However, unlike their Feral counterparts, Kitsunes normally aren't subject to the effects of their Mating Season unless they've become sexually active prior to one, or they become so during it.
For most Kitsune, this is no issue, as it simply means that some experience it while others don't. However, some Kitsune can sort of become "backed up", where the effects of the Mating Season should effect their body, but it doesn't due to them not being sexually active. Each year, more and more of the effect will build until they finally become active, at which point the backed up pheromones and natural urges will take hold. This can cause some Kitsune to become more or less drunk with lust, which needs to be satisfied multiple times over before they can begin to calm down.
In the Pre-Crimson War Era, Kitsunes would normally match with partners of their own choosing. Most often with other Kitsune, though it wasn't uncommon for Kitsune to choose partners of other Species. Especially due to how compatible Kitsunes were with other Mythos, their anatomy allowed for a vast variety in available partner Species and successful conceptions regardless. Though while Kitsune pairs would normally result in litters of two to four Kits, births with other Species would usually result in a lower one or two Kits.
In Kitsune culture, it was common to wait until after a Kitsune had reached Maturity, and after the next Mating Season had come and gone to seek a partner. The time between the end of one Mating Season, and the beginning of the next, being used to let the pair grow closer, to test if they were truly compatible, and perhaps take their first step together. Preparing themselves for the next Mating Season together.
Of course some Kitsune would find their companions in their later years before they were fully matured. While others would go for years without finding a partner, find a Non-Kitsune partner, or simply prefer to not have a partner. This resulting in a small, though noticeable amount of the population either not conforming to the norm of their Species, or simply falling outside of it. Which was still accepted, and commonly known about regardless.
Post-Crimson War Era, however, with well over 90% of the Kitsune having been slaughtered by the Gods of the various Pantheons, Kitsune culture had been ruined. Norms were no longer a factor, when and where Kitsunes found Partners wasn't a concern in any Kitsune mind, and regardless of their Partner's species their birthrates plummeted to single Kits. It would be considered a rare blessing if a Kitsune ever gave birth to twins, even with a Kitsune Partner.
Though such a Partnership had become nearly impossible, given how the Kitsune dispersed and scattered across the World. It's unknown how many still survive, some Mythos theorize that the Kitsune number in the dozens, others suggest hundreds. An extreme few conspire that there's a hidden Kitsune paradise somewhere where they thrive in the thousands.
In reality, Kitsunes rarely ever see other Kitsunes who aren't family, and due to such the chance of Kitsune Pairs existing in the present day is next to null. Leaving what Kitsune's do remain uncaring what Species their Partners eventually are, when they meet them. Merely that they love their Partner, and that their Partner can protect them and their secrecy.

(via What type of kitsune are you? | Kyuubi (九尾の狐))
“ Every kitsune is born with only one tail. According to the legend, the tail of a fox is used to store ling qi, the force of nature, or aura of heaven and earth, and sun and the moon. Once full, they will grow a new tail for storage. Until they have a total sum of nine tails, they will become immortals. Although they are not gods and only part of the earthly realm, not heavenly. Kitsune were believed to have special powers such as shape-shifting, creating copies of a living human, possession, flight, invisibility, and fox-fire. Fox-fire was essentially the energy a Kitsune had powers over, and the type of fox-fire depended on the type of kitsune. As a nine-tailed fox, the kyuubi is the strongest type of kitsune and that corresponds to the extend of their powers. About every 111 years, kitsune develop an additional tail. At 1000 years old, they have a total of nine and will not gain more. They can however take tributes from the kitsunes they have killed or beaten and bind them to their being. When a kitsune gains its 9th tail, its fur becomes gold or white. These kyuubi gain the ability to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world. Other tales attribute to infinite wisdom (omniscience). As skilled shapeshifters and immortal beings, there are a lot of stories about them but the bottom line is: don’t mess with them! “
I don’t particularly like being op characters in rp (its boring, predictable and lacks challenge) - I also tend to hate people who pick them 😏

Can we get cute cooking headcannons for the Bishōnen ninja squad and their husbands?
Tumblr media
((So you want cooking cute headcannons too? Let me see..))
Silver butterfly mun/Peahen mom
~~Cute cooking headcannons with the Bishōnen ninja squad and their husbands~~
*Jun and Hiruko*
*Jun loves making anything for his husband, being something simple or something to blow his taste buds away. He always looks happy seeing Hiruko enjoying the food he makes him. Even seeing how he wags his tail smiling.
*They work together when cooking dinner together but it leaves them having a little fun. Being Jun poking his husband's nose to leave some flower or cream there. He just blinks to laugh finding it adorable.
*They would sometimes challenge one another to see who makes dinner for next week or so by doing small challenges against one another.
*Sometimes, they try to try playing a little game while humming to one another as they cook. Though, their has been times that Hiruko would laugh seeing how funny Jun was being when they cook dinner. He would have to make him leave to behave himself.

*He sometimes make sure to be careful but Rex assures him he was. Even letting him taste test some of the food to seeing him blushing from the flavors. Even his deserts were pretty good.
*During their alone time, their was one time he would cook that Kai was always trying something new with many fresh ingredients. He would even give some new recipes a shot together. They love each other's cooking to make them feel more closer. Cooking is something that brings them together.

*They would always use the freshest things found in the market while talking about what they should try for dinner next time. Though, they would be happily explaining new tricks they found out from other friends and themselves.
*At home, Kagefumi would eat some of the food Kiyoshi makes without him knowing to taste a bit of the food. He wouldn't get caught being that sneaky little kitsune he is. However, he sees Kiyoshi do the same but he catches him by using his spoon to gently tap his hand. He laughed to look innocent but he didn't mind.
*If another has a brand new idea for dinner they would try it to see how it goes. However, they would just either trying to savor the fun time of cooking and spending that time with each other. After finishing up, they would be feeding one another while smiling feeling happy but in love.

Sybil and Trixx are CO-CONSPIRATORS. They are INTELLIGENT and SNEAKY and only feed into eachother’s latent desire to Cause Problems On Purpose. They are un-freaking-stoppable together. Do NOT give them any ideas, because they WILL do anything they set their minds to. Every once in a while, they like, map out new and interesting ways to use their powers, and are always very eager to test them out.
Sybil’s been thinking of her powers in terms of D&D mechanics - big illusions, like making another person or set change, cost her a “spell slot” and have to be recharged for, whereas small illusions like outfit changes and holograms are counted as “cantrips,” so she doesn’t have to recharge to use them.
As a result, Sybil’s gotten into the habit of walking around in her everyday life as Kitsune, but disguised as Sybil, so that she can use her smaller powers for everyday things, like tattoo mapping or project management or getting to class on time. When asked how she does that, she says something like “oh I built a mini projector into my glasses during last year’s product design class” or “it’s amazing what skills you can pick up at the school gym’s free acrobatics classes!” and people usually leave it at that. She’s got a bit of a reputation around campus for being ridiculously multitalented, but then again, that was true even before she met Trixx!
Even when unfused, Sybil and Trixx work remarkably well together, and always have some sort of scheme in the works. Sometimes the Scheme is planning a school event or protest, and sometimes it’s something dumb like playing Matchmaker for Sam and Max.

Concoctor (Alchemist Archetype)
Tumblr media
 Back in older editions of the Worlds Oldest Roleplaying Game, there used to be a table for random effects that would occur when a player dared to mix multiple potions together and drink the results. Such mixing was often volatile, but could sometimes produce wondrous results.
Today’s archetype is an homage to those old tables with an alchemist that specializes in mixing potions with their extracts and mutagens.
These concoctors belong to a philosophy of mixing complex concoctions first and working backwards to try and see where the strange new effects that result came from. However, due to the variation introduced by impurities and different amounts of ingredients, it can be hard to predict what effect their next batch will have.
In the real world, such mixing would inevitably result in toxins and corrosive chemicals, or outright render them inert and foul, but due to some luck of longtime experimentation, these alchemists have learned how to reduce the likelihood of such occurances, producing various positive results.
This archetype also pairs well with the alchemical concoctions from Adventurer’s Armory 2, which delves into similar themes of mixing alchemical items to produce new effects!
(In all seriousness though, don’t mix chemicals unless you know exactly what they do, folks)
 The first, and more stable of the mixtures these alchemists are capable of are the brewing of potions that are mixed with their mutagens, allowing them to gain the benefits of both in one drinkable solution. Of course, much like a normal mutagen, this concoction is only meant for the alchemist in question, and they can only have the benefits of one at a time. More stressingly, they cost twice as much raw materials to make, and go inert a day later, meaning that they are best brewed at the beginning of a day before adventuring, and then consumed as the day goes on.
The more volatile of their arts, however, is their ability to mix an extract and potion on the fly, drinking it before the reaction renders it inert. In such a case, the concoction has a random side effect, ranging from one chemical subsuming the other to empower the other, both functioning normally, both functioning at increased potency, or even for much longer than normal.
This archetype can be a fun way to spice up a self-buffing alchemist, combining potions and extracts to get more out of their buffs potentially, and doing the same with their mutagens. That being said, I dislike the fact that the potions you brew for the mutagen concoctions have to be created for twice the value when they burn up if unused, but I understand this is mostly to prevent players from stockpiling the strong items. In any case, this archetype is begging to be used with a build that focuses on self-buffs. Perhaps a buffed melee build.
 As mentioned above, this method of discovering new effects is… not very scientific. The variables are too random, and impossible to replicate, with basically no control over the variables. In this way, it shares some of the chaos of the mad scientist and first world innovator archetypes, but this one in particular feels more… haphazard, than even the random effects of those archetypes. Perhaps these alchemists are dropouts that couldn’t hack it under scientific constraints, or are desperate and/or reckless enough to use their own bodies at a testing ground.
  The Stormfire Collective is a volatile community of fringe scientists on the edge of Volang territory where all sorts of experimental invention and alchemy takes place. An adventurer looking for the cutting edge in terms of technology can probably do a lot with this place, but one should be wary about being asked to test any new invention or concoction for obvious reasons.
 A fire suddenly erupts in the Red Quarter, and the party are close enough to help out. Once the flames are out, an examination of the building reveals the burned body of a kitsune clutching a formulae book. The concoctions within seem dangerously overmixed, toxic, even, and yet… it seems like some of them might actually work, hopefully without burning down the lab.
 The fugitive the party have been tracking dives off the dock while drinking a bubbling concoction. Those that follow are shocked to discover their quarry has transformed into a massive hookfang worm with strange mutations all over its body and muscles that threaten to split it’s exoskeleton. What sort of mad mixture did the fool drink?

My Life is One Complication After Another 2
Some cursing 🤬
Ao3 *** Previous *** Next
~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay so where were we?" she smiled turning and sitting back down with Fang.
"As Damian had asked are you in reality my biological child," Bruce took back control automatically.
"You can't be serious Brucie!" Jagged went and began to squish Mari's face. "This little ray of sunshine related to your broody majesty. I don't buy it."
"I am not broody Jared." Bruce defended.
"I'll believe that when Ladybug dates Chat Noir." he joked.
"So it is possible" Bruce responded with a straight face.
Now it was Mari's turn to laugh, "Not a chance. Ladybug and Chat Noir dating is as possible as Atlantis resurfacing." she finally stopped laughing. The Wayne's tensed as if they knew more than others about Atlantis. "I honestly don't know if I am your child. I have no objections to taking a paternity test if you want, but I already have parents who love and support me, but I am not opposed to adding to my family though." she again smiled like the sunshine she is.
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng What the Hell!?!" Chloe screamed storming into the room.
"What did I do!"
"How are you trending and you never told me" she gave a mock gasp.
However it was not the same for Mari. "I'm what." She opened her phone and sure enough she was trending. "How did this happen?"
She went into the first article she could and backtracked, through the sources and timestamps. Then it all made sense. She was on the Ladyblog, an interview with Lila claiming she was friends with a Wayne. The media then believing her a lost Wayne which explains why she is sitting with the Waynes and them asking about her paternity.
"How did you not know. M."
"All my accounts are private and I've been busy. But this explains the reporters now huh."
"M you are ridiculous, utterly ridiculous" Chloe grumbled. She was now sitting on the armrest Mari was leaning against next to Jagged. "At least tell me you remembered to send the photos and interview." Mari sprung up, Fang having sensed the impending jump. "logged into my laptop" Chloe yelled throwing her key to Mari.
"Meet you at the hospital. 20 minutes. bye" she yelled as she ran down the hall taking the stairs faster.
Chloe and Penny got up followed by Jagged heading to the door.
"Whatcha wait'n for Brucie come on" Jagged called to the billionaire.
Slowly the Waynes stood and followed the others to the hospital, sharing looks and texts the entire time.
True to her word Marinette met with them 20 minutes later on the dot in the hospital.
Both Marinette and Bruce had a blood sample and a mouth swab taken. The doctor then came back an hour later with the results.
"Alright. By the genetic markers that were tested. I can say quite confidently that M. Wayne is the biological father of Mlle. Dupain-Cheng." The doctor handed them a folder. "I'II leave you to process."
Marinette didn't need long to process. In fact her only thought was, Well one more for the list. Everyone in the room was watching her. "Okay" she jumped down from the bench, crap. Forgot about that. Her smile never faltered but her eyes were closed a second too long.
In that second Chloe had taken her purse and was holding up a pair of athletic gloves. “Care to explain!” She held the gloves waving them towards Marinette.
"Um, Well, You see" Marinette started to mumble.
"Why don't you explain in the car" Penny came to her rescue.
"We'll get Pizza and have a Rock' n time" Jagged lightened the mood.
Everyone nodded, walking out Mari kept her hands in her pocket. She was putting on her second pair of gloves, Tikki in her hood, she needed to think and running always helped. Mari was only a few yards away when Chloe noticed, Mari spun to face her when she heard her.
"Red!" Chloe yelled. She noticed how two boys froze, Jason and Tim if she is correct.
"Goldie!" she responded, not missing a beat. She heard Chloe behind her.
"Cat." Penny stated.
"Bird." responded Jagged further confusing the Waynes as they neared the hotel.
Tim was the first who noticed the two girls in front of the hotel. Meaning he was on his phone mapping and timing the route.
"Pizza will be delivered in 10." Mari spoke as the other seven stepped out of the car.
The two girls went ahead of them, but instead of the elevator they took the stairs.
Half way through the second of three pizza did Tim finally speak. "How did you two get back so fast." Tim set down his Pizza as he began to gesture frantically. "There is no way for you guys to have beat as it is a fifteen minute drive and a 30 minute walk, 20 if you run. Wait how did you get there in 20 minutes with a detour." Tim surprisingly still had breath.
"The fastest way from point A to B is not through C." Was Marinette's response as she took a bite. Yet that didn't seem like a sufficient answer as her now brother's eyebrows were still knit in confusion, so she took a breath and said. "Free running, it's a great stress reliever." she finished.
"What did you hit this time?" Jagged gave her a semi serious look.
"I didn't hit anything," a pout on her lips. "The pigeon flew into me."
Dick started laughing "she is definitely yours B, I can say for sure even without that paternity test." Another two hours had passed before she noticed the time and bid everyone goodbye. She gave her number to her father and brothers, Damian begrudgingly because Dick put it in and gave it to Mari.
Her parents had closed early for a date so she was home alone. She went to the couch to sketch a few gift ideas for her newly extended family. She was finishing a semi formal coat with a hidden sling for a katana for Damian. He kept grumbling that if he had it, the way the sword appeared in his akuma form, and she is pretty sure Jason's jokes were more literal by everyone's expressions. When her parents came home.
"Bon soir Maman, Papa," she cheerily greeted them.
"How was your day sweetheart." her Papa smiled kissing the top of her head.
"I met a handful of interesting people." she really didn't know how to broach this subject.
"What's wrong sweetie," her mother must have noticed her be uncomfortable. She sat down next to Mari, and her papa sat across from them.
"Did someone or did these people hurt you." her papa's words began to ring with a hard edge.
"Non, nothing like that. It's just, um," bitting her lip then looking up. "Your not my biological father, are you?"
Her parents froze, and had a silent conversation.
"Marinette, your biological father is an important and busy man. Who has no time for children." Her Maman spoke gently and calmly. "His name is Bruce Wayne."
Okay hold up, she tilted her head empathizing her confusion. "He didn't seem to bad, in fact he has four boys."
"That was who you met today," her papa affirmed, seemingly surprised.
She nodded her head and told them what had occurred today, leaving out the akuma and her free running. When she finished her parents once again held a silent conversation.
"Why don't we invite him over tomorrow for lunch. While you show his boys around." her maman smiled.
"Okay I'll send them a message then." Mari smiled taking out her phone.
Tomorrow will be interesting.
But first she had to survive tonight.
Tonight Ladybug, Todd Tenko, and Emeraude Racer were on patrol. Meaning she had the evening with the Couffaine siblings. Since both were holders it wasn't uncommon for them to swap. Meaning Luka would either be Todd or Viperion, and Juleka could be either Racer or Kitsune.
They each knew what was their designated route, and because of the akuma sent earlier the chance of Hawkmoth striking again was less likely. Each one of the heroes went their separate ways and made their rounds. So when the three heroes went to their rendezvous at Notre Dame's bell tower it ways almost two hour later. However, she noticed she had a tail when she passed the Eiffel tower. So she called Todd and Racer to set an illusion and ambush at the bell tower.
When she stepped on the bell towers stopped in the center and so did her tail with four others, forming a 'v" behind her. Todd's illusion left a Ladybug in the center of the tower while she moved to an ambush point. Four figures swung in and stood at each corner, a Todd Tenko, Emeraude Racer, Honey Bee, and Chat Noir.
"Shouldn't all of you be in Gotham?" Ladybug asked for her.
That seemed to take the vigilantes in her city by surprise.
"We heard about the situation and we just want to help." Nightwing, she is pretty sure, spoke up.
Chat Noir scoffed, "huh as if we would believe that."
"Tt. believe what you want. That is the truth." Robin spoke this time. Interesting.
"Yes after being ignored and called liars for three years really builds trust." Honey Bee's hand curled on her top as she spoke.
Batman seemed like he was going say something, but she jumped down from her perch breaking the Ladybug illusion. As they watched her materialize fifty feet up, followed by Racer and Todd flanking her mere seconds later.
"Todd," her eyes never left the five in front of her as she spoke.
"What!" Red Hood jumped in surprise, "How?"
"Curious. But Todd," this time she turned. "can you drop Mirage." Her teammate nodded and the four illusions disappeared. "Do you need to recharge?"
"Already did LB", he smiled.
"Okay," she pulled out her yoyo, and a box fell out into her hands. "who wants a snack before heading back out."
"Me!" Racer rushed to the box pulling out a strawberry eclair.
It is almost a good thing she always makes eight eclairs for patrol. Seriously she makes two for those on patrol, but after Adrien always left them with one and ate four, did she start bringing more.
Before leaving to do a final sweep of patrol. The three Parisian heroes spoke with the visiting vigilantes.
"We could send them Pinky's way," Ladybug responded to Batman's ask for more information.
"Do you think that's smart?" Todd asked.
"Who is Pinky?" Red Robin stepped into the conversation.
"She is our civilian contact and reserve hero." Racer answered.
"Why isn't she a permeant hero?" Nightwing brought up the question.
"Her identity was compromised but and we aren't sure how many know. So she is kept an back up." she answered.
"Who is she and how do we contact her?" Batman demanded or asked in his case.
"She is Multimouse, her name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng." All of them seemed to flinch and paled slightly. "And she'll find you."
The three Parisians stood and left.
Yup, tomorrow is going to be interesting.
Extra:
“So was I supposed to find out the Wayne’s were the Bats on my own or would you have told me?” Mari scolded her boyfriend over video call when she got home from patrol.
“I knew you were smart but less than a day you really are a lucky bug.” He smirked at her.
She crossed her arms and glared at him.
“Okay, okay.” He rose his hands in surrender. “But how did you figure it out anyways?”
“Apart from Tim and Jason flinching when Chloe called me Red, Damian’s katana grumbles and Tt., Jason freaking out because Todd was on patrol with me, and all of them paling at my name. It wasn’t to hard to piece together after that.” She shrugged.
“You know you’re scary sometimes right?” He feigned chills a goofy grin on his face.
“You love me though.” She teased him.
“I know I do but I know to keep in your good graces.” He responded now completely serious. “By the way, why was my idiot in Paris?” '
“I apparently made headlines a a lost Wayne.” She waved. “Which has more truth than the media knows apparently.”
“You’re serious!”
“Turns out your idiot is my adoptive idiot brother.”
“So are you related to Dick or Tim?”
“Try Damian.”
“To Demon Spawn! How?!”
“Bruce is my biological father.”
“The bug is a bat. Great!” he rolled his eyes, “I knew you weren’t normal but this is ridiculous.”
“You aren’t exactly normal yourself.” She replied pointedly.
“Ya but you love me.” His goofy grin was back.
“Yes I do.” She smiled in return.

LIMITED KINGSHIP, WAR STORIES:
CHAPTER 2: HEKIREKI & SENDEN
* Mini Episodes KFCN (List of Chapters) * Projects & Chapters
Translation: Naru-kun Raws: Ridia
Suddenly he realized that the enemy was gone.
The surroundings were full of the dead. Most of the folded corpses belonged to members of the "Purgatory" clan who wore black clothes. Fifteen minutes ago, a hasty force led by Gouki Zenjo raided that warehouse after being contacted by the intelligence department. And then the warehouse turned into a terrible battlefield.
With "Hekireki" bloody on his shoulder, Zenjo started looking for the next enemy to attack. But that no longer existed.
The battle was over and the remnants were hunting. There were still some in black who resisted, but it was only a matter of time before they were crushed or smashed. While he was thinking that, Bado's iron spear pierced one of the black ones, and Azuma's twin sword stabbed another. The "Purgatory" clan member, who had decent fighting ability, didn't seem to be staying anywhere.
"How boring."
He hit the field in an unsightly way and lowered "Hekireki" to the ground.
The next moment, the pile of corpses exploded.
"Zenjo!"
Fresh blood came out from the sword wound all over the body, and flames came from both feet, the one in black clothes was good at fighting. A deadly surprise attack that hid the corpse of a colleague. Long before he understood it, Zenjo tried to shake "Hekireki" with his own super reaction.
He could not.
According to a later investigation, it was an inadvertent collaboration between those in black. One in black that lay behind Zenjo was dying, but was still breathing. With the last of his strength, he grabbed the "outside" blade, regardless of whether his fingers fell.
That caused a delay of a few seconds. Zenjo was just looking at the flaming fingers approaching in front of him, holding "Hekireki's" fixed handle.
But he just grabbed Zenjo's nose.
"You need more than that..."
The one in black clothes who attacked Zenjo stopped in midair. Blood poured from the edge of his mouth which opened and closed with bloody eyes wide open. A thin saber protruded from his chest, and the saber that pierced his chest diagonally from below suddenly stopped the one in black clothing.
"Ah!"
A cheerful voice that did not seem to belong to the place, resounded behind the one in black clothes.
"I'm sorry I made a mistake! Zenjo-san, can you take care of it please?"
It was as easy as asking him to take the remote there. After blinking, Zenjo passed by "Hekireki" and frequently shook the ones in black clothes.
The flames that clung to both feet disappeared.
The body of the man in black, who had lost his neck, was thrown to the ground. A young man standing there waved his saber and wiped off the blood. The friendly look reminded him of a laughing dog.
"No, I made a mistake. If you tap it, it can't be the case, huh? Hahaha…"
"Kuze. You saved me."
Young Kuse laughed cheerfully and waved.
"I just did something extra. Zenjo-san, you could have handled it with a margin."
"No, I couldn't react now. I would have been 'without a nose' at best, because it was aiming at my head."
"Well, is that so? That's good. Soon it's new soba season!"
Zenjo smirked as he tapped on Kuze's shoulder, saying that he was out of focus.
"This season's buckwheat noodles are pretty good too. I'll use chopsticks when I get back to the barracks. Thanks for your help."
"Oh then, make it soba."
"What? Are you going to ask me to make arrangements again?"
Kuse was smiling. Zenjo saw the smile as if he was amazed. Not suitable for a bright appearance, this young man had a very persistent character.
"Well, I wish I could go home."
"Oh, thanks!"
As Kuze struck a gutsy pose, Zenjo shrugged and walked towards a group of hurrying troops who had begun to take care of the remaining work.
++++++++++
The war was escalating.
Kagutsu Detention Center "Red King" crackdown operation. The attack from "Scepter 4" intended to kill Kagutsu Genji was unsuccessful in retrospect. Although the force of "Purgatory" was greatly reduced, the original purpose of the operation was not finally achieved, and Kagutsu left his territory and fled, and the remaining clan members divided into thousands and went into hiding. The hive was destroyed, but the queen bee and the soldier bees were flying now.
The activities of the scattered members of the "Purgatory" clan were almost the same as before. Whenever something happened, there was a danger that they would explode. "Scepter 4" chased after them and they were incapacitated as soon as they were discovered, but "Purgatory" wasn't just silently hunted to death. The damage caused by a fierce counterattack who did not care about his own life was turning into a social problem that could not be covered even by "Tokijikuin".
There were two pressing issues.
One was the search and murder of Kagutsu as soon as possible. As long as that "King" will continue to exist on earth, this war would never end.
And the other was to increase the strength of "Scepter 4".
The battle with "Purgatory", who burned the people, burned the city and even burned themselves, was slowly shaving the staff of "Scepter 4". To make up for the loss, they touted that they had the cause of the war and recruited a large number of talented personnel from the relevant ministries.
Shuichiro Kuze was one of those supplemental staff members.
Originally a police officer, he achieved outstanding results on both his aptitude and skill tests, and joined the "Scepter 4" running unit at exceptional speed. He was a rare human resource who had already been dispatched several times and was not afraid to fight the deadly "Purgatory", but instead displayed a simulation as if he was enjoying it.
For some reason, Kuze teamed up with Zenjo.
Even now, Kuze and Zenjo were undergoing simulated one-on-one training in the training ground of the "Scepter 4" barracks. Except for the fact that the product was a bamboo sword, it was a form of training that came as close to the actual battle as possible. Even attacks on key points were tolerated wherever they were covered by armor.
Kuze raised the bamboo sword to eye level and turned its blade towards Zenjo.
Zenjo carried a large bamboo sword on his shoulder and was about to attack him.
Kuze's specialty was "pushing". His stab, fired by explosive acceleration with a different ability, was roughly equal to the speed of a bullet. It would be impossible to react if it were the perception of an ordinary person.
But, of course, Zenjo was not an ordinary person.
"Let's go!"
The next moment that Kuze said that, the figure disappeared.
An extraordinary light that glowed fluttering blue like the tail of a meteor. Before recognizing it, Zenjo's body was moving. The speed God's sword judgment darted into the void on the right.
Zenjo's bamboo sword touched Kuze's sword that jutted out without fail.
"Ah!"
As he wielded the sword of pursuit, Zenjo was impressed. Viewed from above, the location of the different abilities would have looked like a rank "nine". A blow from outside the field of vision due to explosive acceleration, but it did not exceed Zenjo's reaction speed.
"Che!"
Kuze sped up again, leaving a childish click of the tongue. As he repeated sharp turns ignoring the laws of physics, he jumped incessantly. He was like a spring-loaded toy that swept across the training ground.
Zenjo stopped chasing him with his eyes and closed his lids.
Behind.
Before he felt it, his body was still moving. He turns and cut the space behind him. The cut that was shot deflected Kuze's thrust horizontally upward and hit him like he was a face shield.
"Damn!"
With a stupid voice, Kuze struck and fell to the ground of the training ground. If he had been serious, he would have lost his nose.
"This is the ninth."
Carrying the bamboo sword on his shoulder again, Zenjo said that without pride. Kuze, who had stretched out into a large shape, lifted his upper body as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"I thought I could pull it off now... Zenjo-san, do you have eyes behind you?"
"Well, it's clear. You can understand it even if you can't see it."
"Mm... Zenjo-san, another one! Please."
When Kuze lifted his index finger, Zenjo was truly astonished and showed the training ground clock with his chin.
"It's closing time. It will be tomorrow."
"Really? Absolutely tomorrow!"
"I wish they hadn't sent me."
Saying that, while he was a bit crowded, Zenjo headed for the exit. Kuze also put the bamboo sword in a bag and bounced after him.
After taking a shower together, they had dinner later.
The barracks cafeteria was quiet, probably because it was late. Zenjo ordered a hazaru soba and Kuze a kitsune udon, and they ate together.
Kuze talked to Zenjo all the time while he ate.
"Zenjo-san, are you attached to the army?"
"Hmm?"
" I belonged there. There are a lot of people like that in 'Scepter 4', right?"
Surely it was so. The personnel of "Scepter 4" came mainly from other security organizations. Unless they didn't lack combat training on a daily basis, they couldn't withstand the battle with "Purgatory."
However, the situation was different for Zenjo.
After slurping his soba, he said...
"I am from a mountain."
"Mountain?"
"When I was waving a stick in the mountains, I met Habari, so I followed him."
Kuze blinked twice as he pinched the fried food with chopsticks.
"Well, what was that? What kind of situation?"
"Thanks, like I said."
Answering only that, Zenjo took a sip of soba again.
Kuze stared at Zenjo for a while with a surprised face, and then...
"Fu…"
He shook his shoulders and started laughing.
"Hahahahahahahaha! What's wrong, did you meet the commander in the mountains and follow him? Hahaha, Zenjo-san, are you a youkai?"
Zenjo was disappointed in Kuze, who bent over his body and laughed like a child. It was surprising that he was laughed at, although it was not his intention to make him laugh.
"No, sorry, I'm not going to make a fool of myself. But that was very interesting."
"Is it interesting?"
"It's incredibly interesting! I've never met such a person!"
"Mmm...?"
He wondered if that was the case. Originally, Zenjo was a guy who didn't understand many things. If they told him it was interesting, it would be true.
"No, you're good at 'Scepter 4' after all. It's not boring."
As he cheerfully said that, Kuze drank the udon from him. As Zenjo ate the soba noodles, he looked at Kuze as if he was looking at something strange.
"Bored?"
"Yes. The workplace in front of me was already boring. Anyone can do it, such as document preparation, on-site verification and traffic control. More like this, a fierce car chase with the criminal! Fighting battle! Shooting! I was imagining it."
He lifted the bowl and drank the soup.
"So it's so boring that I shouldn't do it. When I was thinking about it, they asked me and I came to try it. I can do what I want every day! It's a lot of fun, right? That's why I think you adapt very well to "Scepter 4"!
Zenjo scratched his cheeks while Kuze drank, wiped his mouth and clasped his hands with a "Thanks for the food!"
"Uh..."
"Isn't that the case with Zenjo-san? Don't you do it because it's medicinal?"
"Eh?"
He wondered if that was the case. Was he enjoying the battle with "Purgatory"?
There was no doubt that he was elevated during the battle. On the battlefield where a momentary judgment divides life and death, that feeling that inspires all cells cannot be experienced anywhere else.
But he didn't think he was struggling to taste it.
When he swung his sword under Habari's command in "Scepter 4", he felt that he was breathing properly. It seemed natural to do so and it "fit." He didn't know if he could describe it as funny.
"Well, that's correct."
It became difficult to think of the way and Zenjo answered that.
"That's right! Well, I'm glad you feel the same way as me!"
Kuze laughed in a friendly way and then a mysterious light fell on his eyes.
"But lately, it's more fun practicing with Zenjo-san than interacting with 'Purgatory'."
"Really?"
"Yes, because Zenjo-san is much stronger than them, so it's fun to do it. Hey, Zenjo-san. Someday, with me…"
Kuze cut off the words when he suddenly remembered. After blinking several times, the mysterious light disappeared. Then suddenly he stood up and held the bowl of kitsune udon in his hands.
"Sorry, it's nothing! So, good night!"
With a smile, Kuze went to the place where the dishes were being returned.
As he drank his soba, Zenjo rebelled against Kuze's words.
(Well, I'm glad you feel the same way as me!)
Maybe it wasn't.
Although they belonged to the same "Scepter 4" and wielded a saber, he felt that something was decisively different between him and Kuze.
He didn't know what it was. He didn't want to think until he knew. Thinking again that he was okay, Zenjo dropped the green onion seasoning into crushed chunks.
++++++++++
Three days later, the hidden member of the "Purgatory" clan in Minari-cho, Fengze-ku, was discovered.
According to the information department report, there was only one member. However, the problem is that he was hiding in the houses of common people. They threatened the inhabitants and parasitized their lives themselves. A bully lurked in his house and behaved inattentive. The father of the family, who could not bear such a situation, rushed to a public institution and discovered his existence.
In response to this, "Scepter 4" quickly formed a unit that rushed over. They ran to the site to "exterminate" the abominable parasite.
However, this time, it was not possible to get through the gate with the transport vehicle and cut it randomly. After all, the other party was alone and the detained hostages were a mother and two young children, according to the father's information. If they took action inadvertently, it would have the worst consequences.
The operation required speed and stealth. "Scepter 4", the deputy director, Gen Shiotsu, selected the appropriate personnel and devised a strategy.
Shuichiro Kuse was included in the staff, but it was boring for him.
Kuze was toying with that idea while biting his yawn in the car.
It had already been three hours since they arrived at the place. Because "Scepter 4" stood out in a transport vehicle, they used an ordinary sedan type and stopped from hiding to blind spot. Kuze sighed softly, looking at him stagnant out the window.
He wished he could rush in and kill him.
It would be easy. He would jump out the door, go through the second floor and invade, and drive the saber into the heart of the guy in black. That was all that was needed.
Kuze understood why he was selected as a runner. The small body was suitable for infiltration, and the "Senden" saber he had was also a slim custom-made one, so it should work effectively in a small room.
So he wanted to do it as soon as possible.
Finally, the long-awaited command came from insiders.
"The target has taken the hostage. I enclose the location."
"Yes!"
He sprang to his feet, grabbed the saber, opened the passenger seat door, and Kuze broke into a run.
In seconds, the target house came into view. When he was hiding behind the wall of a neighbor's house and observing the situation, the transmitter spoke a voice again.
"The target is in the bathroom on the second floor. The children cannot confirm the whereabouts of their mother in the next room. Each member must pay the utmost attention and do everything in their power to secure the hostages."
"Kuze, ready!"
With a light tone, Kuze pulled "Senden" out of the scabbard.
He held his breath and waited for the moment. The plan of the house is engraved on his head. All the images of how he would move, what kind of path he would take and how he would kill the one in black clothes were created in Kuze's brain.
Kuze himself did not know that there were no hostages there.
"Fast!"
By the time Shiotsu's voice echoed, Kuze was jumping.
He jumped off the wall, landed on the ceiling, and ran. At the edge of the field of vision, he could see a blue trail that went through him in the same way. There were a total of four runners, all their own competitors, who aspired to the life of a single man in black. Kuze licked his lips and accelerated to the point where the shingles broke.
He jumped with the same impulse, he broke the second floor window with his body and ran inside.
"Eh?!"
He heard a high-pitched voice. Kuze invaded the children's room on the second floor. According to the information, two children who were less than elementary school students were shaking in a corner of the room.
Kuze ignored it.
The problem was that of black clothes. If he killed him, everything would be solved. So that should take precedence. Kuze thought that way and stepped out into the second floor hallway.
Their eyes met.
There was a figure in black clothes in the bathroom that was left open. However, when Kuze found him, he was strangling and using the children's mother as a shield.
"Stay away, blue clothes! This woman will die!"
He could barely see the one in black who was angry. Very firmly, he was hiding behind the woman. The scared woman shook her head, while she shook her head, he looked and disappeared his face burned in black.
Before thinking of anything, Kuze was kicking the ground.
If he killed him, that would be it. That was the only priority, and everything else was wiped from Kuze's head.
Many things happened at the same time.
"Kuze, stop!" One of the rushing staff members yelled.
"Damn it!" The man in black's burned face turned red, and the flame-filled woman screamed in tears.
Time seemed to flow slowly. He could feel precisely the extraordinary light of "Senden", the heat of the flames that sprouted from the face of the man in black and the smell of the flesh that enveloped her.
In the slowdown time, Kuze analyzed various factors and...
(Oh, this person can't be helped anymore.), he thought.
Too easily, he cut off the hostage's life.
This being the case, the hostage's body was no longer a problem. It was just a corpse, a wall of flesh less than 8 inches.
It did not hinder "Senden".
With a half-smile, Kuze stabbed hard forward.
A bright blue tip pierced the woman's chest, and the heart of the man in black was skewered and glued to the bathroom wall.
"......"
The woman opened and closed her mouth. Kuze tilted his head and looked at her face, thinking that she looks like a dying goldfish.
When Kuze drew the saber, the woman and the one in black fell one on top of the other. Their bloods mixed.
The bodies clung to each other and wet Kuze's shoes.
He takes a breath and inform the others.
"We have deactivated the objective. The mission is complete."
At the same time, an angry sound rang out from behind.
"Kuze! Damn! What did you do?!"
He thought, and looked at the owner of the voice as if he was confused. It was Shinohara, who belonged to the same group as him. He was yelling something when he flushed with anger, but Kuze couldn't understand the meaning of the word. He turned his neck and face away to keep them from flying off.
The frozen facial expressions of the two boys, looking through the door, were reflected in Kuze's field of vision.
++++++++++
"Do you know what you did?"
"Scepter 4", Shiotsu made a heavy voice in the barracks interview room.
Shuichiro Kuze, standing in front of him, replied as if nothing had happened.
"I killed the member of the 'Purgatory' clan. I think it was an unavoidable decision in that situation."
"Right now, 'Purgatory' is not the problem. The problem is Kuze, you stabbed the hostage and killed her."
"I did not murder her. At that time, the woman had already been killed by the one in black clothes. Should I be so reprimanded for damaging her corpse?"
Shiotsu had various reports in front of him.
"Shinohara's report is different. At that time, Shinohara said that the woman was still alive. However, he testified that you ignored the warning and approached the black-robed one and went through him."
"In my eyes, she looked dead."
Kuze spoke clearly.
"I think it would have been difficult to help her, even if she had a break. Is it the right decision to leave the dangerous clansman to help a dying woman? If the action was delayed, hers, two of her children and I could have been euthanized."
"It is not you who should judge whether the woman would be saved or not."
"The judgment of the site should be left to the members of the site."
Shiotsu groaned softly.
What Kuze said was correct in some respects. In the battle with "Purgatory", a momentary misjudgment could be fatal. And that moment came innumerably. It was not enough to have many lives if they were all compared with the regulations of the body and the current law. Above all, Kuze said that a certain amount of excessive acts should be allowed to protect one's life.
But…
Shiotsu watched Kuze's expression.
There was no expression floating there. Self-blame, regret, remorse. He couldn't read any of the emotions the one with the almost innocent human hands would have.
Shiotsu muttered to himself that that was the real problem.
"Kuze..."
At that moment, Shiotsu silently inhaled, and then...
"Where do you think the meaning of 'Scepter 4' is?"
"Eh…?"
"Answer it. What's 'Scepter 4' for?"
For the first time, the color of hesitation reached Kuze's expression.
As he listened to Shiotsu, Kuze replied.
"Kill the enemy. Annihilate "Purgatory" and bring peace to society."
Shiotsu sighed deeply and said.
"No. You are definitely misunderstanding."
"......"
"Our mission is to protect the general public. The sword to protect those who cannot resist the weapon of incompetence, that is 'Scepter 4'."
"It's the same as I said, right?"
In the words that Kuze muttered, unprecedented emotions appeared.
He was frustrated.
"Killing those in black clothes is to protect the general public. If they are left unattended, tens or even hundreds of people will die if they are not treated well. To avoid that, isn't it natural to leave two people alone?"
"Still, we should not be the ones to kill. We should be the ones to protect the people. If there is a defenseless civilian, that is why we have the power to protect ourselves."
"It's stupid."
Kuze laughed through his nose. His dark and bright gaze seemed harsher, as he generally had a friendly gaze.
"Why do we have to do that? It is so stupid for a good person to be sacrificed for an inferior person."
Shiotsu closed his eyes.
What swirled around his chest was not anger at Kuze, but responsibility for himself.
He may have been too impatient to make up for the personnel lost in the battle with "Purgatory". He had hired a person who lacked the most important qualities, distracted only by the ability to fight. He should have known well what would happen if that person had a different ability and special power.
People who cannot control themselves will eventually use their different abilities as they wish.
How is it different from "Purgatory"?
Shiotsu slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice,
"Shuichiro Kuse. Say goodbye to "Scepter 4" from now on."
++++++++++
Kuze, who came out of the interview room, was looking vaguely at the ceiling of the hallway.
(I blew it.), he thought.
With that in mind, he sighs. This time, he looked down at the ground and started walking.
When he was called by Shiotsu, Kuze had decided what he should do. That was a field decision and he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He intended to stick to that statement.
It is the members of the field who exchange lives. However, it was not uncommon for him to be blamed for a later trial. It was a common feeling not only for Kuze but also for the ER personnel.
Shiotsu was smart and looked closely at the members. That is why he thought that he would not give such a severe punishment based on his thoughts.
"He was telling me something strange."
Kuze lied and looked at his hand. When he focused his consciousness there, the blue glow of the extraordinary shimmered.
It was proof that he was an excellent person and a chosen one.
Kuze couldn't respond well to Shiotsu's words asking the meaning of "Scepter 4". That was because Kuze didn't know. Therefore, he got a rag out of there. It didn't matter if the general public died or lived, he knew that his true intentions would probably not be forgiven within the organization, so he hid it.
The important thing for Kuze was to use that power in all directions to fight. Fight "Purgatory", bypass the momentary deadline and end the life of the enemy. Never in a dull life until now, was it a bright day.
That was stolen from him.
Because he took a boring life from a boring human.
Kuze sighed again and suddenly raised his face.
A familiar giant was walking down the hall. Kuze laughed and raised a hand.
"Hey, Zenjo-san."
"Oh, Kuze?"
Zenjo's eyebrows widened when he noticed that Kuze was there for the first time.
"What are you doing in a place like this? Is it training?"
"No."
Kuze laughed bitterly and...
"Hey, I've been preaching to the vice principal. I'm here for that."
"Oh, Shiotsu? It's loud."
Sympathy reached Zenjo's eyes. Seeing that, Kuze's smile changed to a natural one.
That person knew himself.
He had always felt that way. Zenjo, like himself, rejoiced in the fight. He was a person who should have the nature of killing people rather than helping people. So, Kuze was sure that if he talked about the situation, this person would be on his side.
"But you're almost right."
Zenjo simply denied the idea.
"Eh?"
"Shiotsu is loud, but he's always right. If he claims something from you, you're wrong. I wonder what he was. Apologize properly."
"......"
Kuze looked at his toes.
"Yes, what is that?"
"If that is all."
"I see."
Kuze scratched his head again with a bitter smile.
"In a way that's correct. I thought it was suitable for 'Scepter 4', but surprisingly, isn't it?"
"Eh?"
Zenjo mysteriously shook his head, thought for a moment and then nodded.
"That's right. You said you were the same as me, but I think you are different from me."
"......"
"I can't put it right. You might not be good at 'Scepter 4'. You should stop in time."
Zenjo said that in a wonderful and irresponsible way.
Kuze was about to start laughing. Interestingly, he didn't get mad at all. This was because it had been broadcast that Zenjo was saying that from the bottom of his heart without any malicious intent.
After all, Kuze didn't dislike Zenjo. He was clean, natural, and stronger than anyone. That's why he liked dealing with this person, because he could fight without shackles.
He regretted thinking that he couldn't do that from now on.
Then, Kuze suddenly glowed.
"Ah!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Sorry Zenjo-san, I just remembered my errand now! I'm done!"
In a hurry, Kuze ran down the hall. Zenjo said, "Oh...?", and gave up, but Kuze suddenly stopped and looked back.
"Please help me again later!"
Zenjo laughed and nodded.
"Oh, I have to be sent."
"Still, please!"
Kuze ran away, saying just that with a smile.
It was that night that Shuichiro Kuze disappeared with "Senden".
++++++++++
When he got out of the transport car, a warm wind caressed Zenjo's cheeks.
The policeman raised his face and smelled a faint smell on the wind. He was delving into the battlefield with "Purgatory". He smelled like sticky, burnt blood.
According to the map, the back alley where the discovery of the men in black was reported was divided into T-shapes. The unit split into three hands, blocking all exits. The most important thing to prevent was that those in black clothes escaped. They had to make sure to capture or neutralize them, even if they took some risks.
At that moment, in front of Zenjo, the entrance to the back alley was black and open.
"Over there."
At random, Zenjo entered an alley.
The back alley was narrow and dark. Polyethylene buckets and outdoor units blocked the street, and the walls of the building that approached from the left and right blocked the sunlight. If one in black clothes came out of the shadows and emitted a flame of extraordinary skill, there would be no way around it. It could be said that this was also a dead place.
Still, Zenjo was not afraid and advanced slowly.
The process suddenly stopped.
Shinohara, who was following Zenjo, said groaning.
"What is the situation? What is this?"
One in black clothes was dead, as if his back was against the wall of the building.
Wide-eyed and in a pool of blood. The burned right hand was soaked in the blood clot, burning and producing black smoke. This was probably the cause of the smell.
In the first place, it was a mystery from the initial discovery report.
It was said that several of the black clothes were fighting. At the time, there were no "Scepter 4" units deployed nearby, and since the Hiiragi incident, the police had been told to stay away from the men in black. Most likely it was a fight between those in black, but in the current situation where they were hiding in a scattered way, he did not think they would do such an outstanding act.
So who was fighting the ones in black?
Zenjo, who was inspecting the corpse in black, said the answer.
"It's Kuze."
"What…?!"
"It is pierced all over the body. This is due to 'Senden'."
Saying that, Zenjo stood up.
Since that night, Kuze's whereabouts have been known to be uncertain. Kuze's legal status was the same as an "Illegal Strain" since he was fired from "Scepter 4". They had to capture him and put a skill suppressor on him, but there weren't enough personnel to track him down in "Scepter 4".
Kuze killed the ones in black and, perhaps, he was still hiding in that place.
"But why is Kuze here?"
Shinohara said that, and suddenly closed his mouth.
Someone slowly emerged from the darkness behind the alley.
It was also one of black clothes.
"Oh, fufu...!"
His face was distorted with anger and hatred, and blood was pouring from his entire body to the point that his black suit was still drenched in red and black. Legs wobbly, the one in black slowly approached.
"Gah!"
The tip of the saber protruded from his chest.
The saber was instantly pulled out and the one in black collapsed to his knees.
Zenjo spoke the name from behind him, standing there.
"Hekireki."
"Oh, Zenjo-san!"
Dressed in a dark green raincoat, Kuze smiled at his face, which had been bathed in blood, and called out to Zenjo cheerfully.
"No, I'm lucky! I can't get it all of a sudden!"
"What are you doing?"
"What?"
Eyes blinking, Kuze looked around him, and mysteriously at himself.
"What's wrong? It's not a job. I got fired from 'Scepter 4'."
He shook "Senden" to spill the blood.
"But if you look for the black clothes, 'Scepter 4' will come, right? Maybe Zenjo-san is there! I thought it was good."
While he smiled, Kuze,
"I never thought we could meet at once! I'm lucky! So…"
He crouched down and pointed the tip of "Senden".
"Let's go."
Before Zenjo thought of anything, Kuze was kicking the ground.
The glow of the blue genie was diffusely reflected in the narrow back alley. He bounced off the ground, scaled walls, emergency stairs, he went up, down, left and right, and hit everything, drawing an unpredictable trajectory like a pinball.
Shinohara, who was behind Zenjo, couldn't even follow Kuze with his eyes. But Zenjo reacted.
It was also an action before thinking. The thick blade of "Hekireki" flipped up as the wind scattered.
The dark green raincoat split in half.
Kuze was no longer there. He twisted in midair, tossed his raincoat, and landed on the ground.
Zenjo kept "Hekireki" jumping and stopped in an unprotected posture. Looking at his empty torso, a fierce smile appeared on Kuze's mouth.
(I caught you!), he thought.
With extraordinary power in his legs, Kuze tried to strike a stroke of luck.
He felt the shock in his chest.
"Eh?"
He lost the strength of his leg. His soles did not separate as if they were stuck to the ground. Interestingly, he looked under his feet and saw a saber thrust into his chest.
"Ah?"
When he coughed, a blood clot spilled from his lips.
Kuze slowly looked at Zenjo.
Zenjo was flipping "Hekireki", with just his right hand.
Before he knew it, he held another saber in his left hand. That pierced through Kuze's chest.
"Oh, wow...!"
Kuze distorted the edge of his mouth when he heard Shinohara make a panicky voice.
"Hey, Shinohara. It's a pay cut to have a saber stolen from you."
When Zenjo drew the saber, Kuze sank into place.
The blood was overflowing. The color of his face was white and transparent. It was clear to everyone that it was no longer useful.
Still, Kuze was somewhat satisfied. He looked at Zenjo and laughed weakly.
"After all... you are amazing, Zenjo-san. I couldn't get over you."
"Kuze."
There was no anger or sadness in Zenjo's expression, just confusion.
"What did you want to do?"
"What?"
Kuze shook his shoulders and laughed. Eventually the laughter turned into a cough and the exhaled blood created a series of stains in the alley.
"I wanted to. A real and potentially deadly battle with Zenjo-san."
Breathing out, Kuze fell onto his side.
"It was fun."
That was the last word from him.
Zenjo, holding a bloody saber, shot a confused look at Kuze's corpse.

The Enforcers: Part 4 (Geto Suguru x Fem!Reader)
Tumblr media
synopsis: You're propelled to the heights of fame with your constant success with Suguru, but what goes up... must come down.
wc: 1.3k
tw: none (next part will be different)
masterlist
Success.
Your name and the word "success" are intertwined by the third month of your Kitsune career. With the help of Suguru, you're practically unstoppable, sniffing out criminals all over the city and bringing them out to face justice. Even the Leviathans come to admire Geto, who stands tall as redeemed and a big brother to many of the new recruits.
But even as you reach the height of your fame, there's a nagging feeling that sits in the back of your mind.
Same misery, but with a paycheck.
Same misery, but with a paycheck.
Same misery, but with a paycheck.
It's like a chant that haunts you in the middle of the night, and you lay awake most nights, thinking of escaping. But then the sun comes up, you rise from your bed, and you pretend that everything is okay for another eighteen hours.
Suguru notices your despondency and even mentions it over dinner, but you snap at him, telling him you were "fine", and leave him alone with the others. As you stalk off, you grumble to yourself and rub your temples, wondering when the feelings would subside. When you reach your barrack, you slide into your chair and begin your research for your current mission when you frown at your computer screen.
You always closed out the network of files when you left the room.
So why was the finder open?
And why was there a file sitting on your computer labeled "For Y/n"?
You click on the file hesitantly, knowing any wrong move could open a virus on your desktop, but your scanner doesn't pick up anything odd, and the file opens, revealing four documents, two videos, and two audio files.
All of them are labeled with your first and last name except for the audio files, which are labeled "One" and "Two".
You hesitate again. What is this pandora's box, you wonder internally. Should you even... your mouse drags to the first audio file and you click on it. Your sound is too low to hear the first part, so you rewind it and play it again. You hear the following words first:
"Hello, y/n," a robotic voice says, its tone flat and unmoved, and goosebumps break out across your skin. "You have shown great promise in your field as a Kitsune, and we know you feel empowered by your success. But there are some things you should know about the men and women you work for." You pause the audio file, heart thumping wildly in your chest as you consider the idea that this is either a test of loyalty or a cruel prank. Either way, you'd had enough.
You stand from your computer and walk around your room, covering your prickly flesh with clammy hands. Someone broke into your room to put files on your computer, addressed them to you, and made it seem like you were being watched by some outside source. But who would want to scare you? Who would--
"Y/n?" Suguru opens your door and gives you a look of deep concern, but you try your best to mask your look of fear. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm okay; I haven't been sleeping well," you admit, and Suguru nods, rubbing his neck nervously.
"I have something that could help you if you want. Just a sleep aid. We're given it when we start training to calm us before--"
"Sure." Geto disappears, then reappears with two pink pills.
"Take these right before bed. You'll be off to sleep in no time."
"Thanks," you reply, setting them on your bedside table and stretching. Suguru stands in your bedroom, looking at you for a second more. "I should get off to--"
"Right," he mutters, then leaves you in the room by yourself again.
_____________________________________________________________
But you don't take the pills.
Instead, you stay awake, looking at the computer screen from your bed, wondering just who would be daring enough to come into your space uninvited and place those... things on your desktop.
Curiosity eats at you for three more hours until finally, at sunup, you crack.
Keys rattle furiously under your fingertips as you type in your password and click on the first audio file yet again.
"Hello, y/n. You have shown great promise in your field as a Kitsune, and we know you feel empowered by your success. But there are some things you should know about the men and women you work for. If you wish to proceed in this endeavor, click on the first video. We know you have no reason to trust us, but we hope you will see this as a show of good faith and use the information for good. Reveal, don't conceal."
You drift over to the first video file, and a black screen comes up, the title words popping up moments later:
L/N, W. May 23. Project Kudzu Debrief.
Your father appears on the screen right after, his eyes looking dead into the camera. He's in his standard, antiquated Kitsune attire, with more hair and brighter eyes than you've ever seen. He's much younger; that you recognize instantly.
"Okay, Mr. L/n, go ahead and state your rank and case for the CSB."
"Mr. W. L/N, Kitsune, Project Kudzu."
"Thanks," a man offscreen mutters, then the sounds of flipping paper can be heard. "Now tell us about your project and what the results of it were."
"Um..." Your father shifts in his chair then rolls his neck around. "Project Kudzu is... or was, my bad." Laughs. "Project Kudzu was a ten-year effort concerning the relocation of lower-class citizens into rougher areas to produce Leviathan recruits. I spearheaded the effort with my research, and my partner, Leviathan C--" The name is bleeped out. "helped with the evictions and relocations."
"Okay," Rustling papers again. "And what were the results of this?"
"Exponential growth of the Leviathan enlistment, sir." Your father adjusts his glasses, nodding stiffly.
"Were those the desired results?"
"Yes, sir."
The screen goes black, and you stare at your open-mouthed reflection, shock flooding your veins. "Please watch the next video" pops up on your screen, and you click on it instantly, instinctively knowing who's next.
L/N, F. May 31. Project Redroot Debrief.
Your mother appears on screen, her cheeks plumper and figure fuller than it currently is. She's youthful, with long hair pinned into a bun and also in an antiquated Kitsune uniform.
"Name, rank, project," a female voice mumbles off-screen.
"Ms. F. L/N, Kitsune, Project Redroot."
"What were the aims of your project?"
"To relocate potential candidates for Kitsune potions into areas where large populations of Kitsune already reside."
"And your goal?"
"To increase Kitsune families and potential enlistment."
"How successful were you?" Your mother smirks at the camera, propping her chin upon her palm.
"How successful do you think I was?"
When the screen goes black, the taste of bile rushes into your mouth, and you rush to your bathroom, shoving a mouthful of toothpaste and your toothbrush onto your teeth. Something you can control, something you can control. But even your toothbrushing - which is normally a soothing habit - can't wipe away the look on your mother's face at her triumph. Project Kudzu... Project Redroot...
How could your parents be a part of something so sinister? Making the poor poorer and the elite... more elite?
These videos have to be fake, you tell yourself, circling back to the computer. But when you look up the metadata- which is neatly scrubbed of any trace of third parties - you see that they are in fact originals of the interview.
Finally, you take a look at the documents, the insignia and red letters "CONFIDENTIAL TS_CO" watermarked on the endless pages. TS_CO= Top Secret Clearance Only. This is above your paygrade, and exponentially so. But as you skim the redacted information, you see names, dates, your parent's names, their information, metrics, graphs, everything that you need to know that Project Redwood and Kudzu aren't fake.
They're real.
And they both happened right before you were born.
