Heart Of The Storm
Jiro Mochizuki X Reader
I loved Black Blood Brothers, I really wish they'd continue it or remake it but it's been so long and so few people have seen it that I know it isn't gonna happen. Sucks too, I adored Zelman. My favorite part of the Darkness the lies within the alleys of the Special Zone. My favorite moment was when he saved Kotaro and then helped him track down Mimiko and even saved her from Cassandra. The only wildfire I loved more was Mikoto Suoh~
(Y/n) waited by the bridge into the special zone, she had actually met a compromiser while wondering the streets of the mainland. The young woman was a fledgling black blood, she had nowhere to go and had been living in an abandoned building. She met the woman near a park, she had been walking around with a tall man in red and a blonde-haired boy. The two had watched from a slight distance as the woman spoke to you, the woman wanted to save as many black bloods as she could. The woman who identified herself as Mimiko had stated that because of (Y/n)'s starved appearance she thought the girl was in need of help, which she had been.
After Mimiko had determined she was safe enough to enter the special zone they had decided that the following night they'd meet at the entrance, that way Mimiko could welcome her. So here the (H/c) haired girl stood, a backpack slung over her shoulder contained all that she owned. She had been there about 10 minutes before she spotted the black-haired man from before flying towards her, when he landed just a few feet away he gave her a sheepish smile while removing his hat and bowing. "I apologize but Mimiko is running a bit late, her boss had been a bit behind on getting your approval done. She asked that I come keep you company, so you didn't think she abandoned you." He stood straight, his tone was soft and kind. Blood had rushed to the girl's cheeks; kindness having been foreign since she was turned.
"It's ok... Thank you for coming to inform me." Her own voice was soft, she always got really shy around men and he seemed to radiate a welcoming aura. "My name is Jiro Mochizuki, I'm glad to officially meet you." She couldn't help but offer a small smile, bowing slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Mochiziki... Michi... Mochizaki..." She began stumbling, finding his last name a bit awkward on her tongue. Her face turning cherry red at his chuckle, though she was glad he didn't get offended. "Jiro will do just fine." She had nodded, still feeling rather embarrassed. "Thank you, I'm sure Miss Mimiko already told you but my name is (Y/n)." Before they could carry on and start a real conversation Mimiko had showed up, (Y/n) was surprised how simple it was to get into the special zone but now she was faced with a new problem. Where was she gonna sleep?
They had crossed over the bridge, the young black blood looking around worriedly. "Is something wrong Miss (Y/n)?" The (H/c) haired girl looked to the little boy she learned was Kotaro, he was giving her a concerned look. "Yes, sorry. I'm just... I don't really know where I'm going to stay... Or what to do from here. I honestly thought I'd be living in abandoned buildings for the rest of my existence, so I don't really have a plan other than just survival..." The little blonde boy gave her a smile that almost seemed reassuring, he then turned to the young woman. "Hey Mimi, can Miss (Y/n) spend the night so we can try and find her a place to stay tomorrow?" The boy's words seemed to make Mimiko perk up, as if being hit with realization.
"I completely forgot about that, yes of course. You can stay with us and tomorrow we'll try and find you a place."
It had been 4 months since that night, she had moved into an apartment across the street from her new friends. Having learned from Mimiko that it had once been her old apartment, this of course meant she spent a lot of time with those 3. She had been adopted into the odd little group, if told 6 months ago that she'd practically make friends and get to restart her life in a place like the special zone over night she would have sworn the informer was a fool. Right now (Y/n) was sat on her bed, listening to the calm rain. Though the peace was soon disturbed by a bright flash of light, the roaring thunder making her window rattle and startling her. She wasn't sure if it was the thunder or lightening, maybe it was both, but she hated it. Even as a black blood her fear of thunderstorms remained, it was made even worse when her electricity cut out.
She rushed to get her flashlight off her desk, she felt ridiculous being a vampire and being so scared but she couldn't help it. Even with her night vision, she felt better about having a light source as well. It wasn't even 6pm yet but the skies were dark as night, so she threw on her jacket and grabbed her phone before walking out and locking the door. She proceeded to dash across the street, having made a plan seconds after losing electric. She'd go to Mimiko's, she knew the girl was likely still at work but knew Kotaro and Jiro would be home since the rain hurts Jiro. Having lost electricity and this being a rough storm she had an excuse, they didn't need to know she was scared. She knocked on the door, hoping it would be opened quickly.
It was Jiro who answered the door, a candle in hand as he let her inside. "I take it you lost power as well (Y/n)?" He sat the candle down on a small nearby table, helping her remove her wet jacket and hang it up. His own had been hung up as well, his hat was also removed. (Y/n) was hoping he wouldn't be able to see her blush, her (E/c) orbs taking in the site of Jiro in a black button up and his usual red pants. The top 2 or 3 buttons were undone, his long black hair a slight mess and the yellow candlelight casting some well-placed shadows on the man. Unfortunately, her wavering focus left her open to be startled, a particularly loud rumble of thunder making her yelp. Her foot slipping in a small puddle of water left by her jacket, though she didn't fall to far backwards before she felt the motion stop. Jiro had caught her with one arm around her waist and the other cradled her head, he gave her a worried look as he had noticed her zoning out moments before.
"Come, let's get you settled. I set up some candles around the living room." He settled the girl back on her feet and lead her upstairs, she was relieved to see the small coffee table between the two couches had several lit candles. She could smell the tea he was brewing, and it helped her feel more relaxed, the two got comfortable on one of the couches. "(Y/n) are you feeling alright? You're quieter than usual." She smiled softly at his concern; he had always been so kind to her. "Yes, sorry I'm not sure what it is but I keep finding my thoughts tend to wonder." She blushed softly, the hint of pink hidden by the dark. When the next combo of thunder and lightning rolled through the girl managed to suppress her response to a minor flinch, but it didn't go unnoticed by the old blood. He wasn't stupid, piecing together the pattern quickly he gave her a sympathetic smile and rubbed her back. This had soothed her enough that he could feel the tension slowly leave her, she gazed up at him with an innocent and confused look.
"Sorry but I could see that the storm was bothering you, so I thought to comfort you." He avoided using any words that directly connected to fear, not wanting to hurt her pride if that was why she hadn't said anything. "Thank you, Jiro... I've never much cared for storms like this..." If her heart was still beating, she was sure he would have heard it racing, she wasn't as embarrassed when wording it like this, but it still made her slightly flustered. Jiro was an old blood; he was from a time when black bloods were strong and prideful. Then here she was, stirred up and bothered by flashing light and a loud noise. Though his smile erased the stinging she felt in her pride. "Would you like some tea? Even if we don't necessarily need it, I do find it relaxing."
Time skip: 4 hours
Mimiko didn't make it back til somewhat late, Kotaro had wanted to go to work with her so she had to carry the sleeping boy home. It was 11pm and the storm had lightened, though she was irritated to see that the power was still out. The candles still burned but they were running low, she was a bit confused when she saw Jiro and (Y/n) asleep on the couch. He had been sitting up, an arm around the younger female who seemed rather comfortable using his chest as a pillow. Mimiko could only giggle, she'd get the story later. She went to place Kotaro in bed before returning to throw a cover over the two, as well as to take a picture for black mail purposes.
"Heh... I ship it..." After sending the picture to a few of their friends she went to get herself ready for bed, thankful the next day she didn't have to be up till noon.

TANBA JJ.K INFO
ABILITIES AND TRAITS
OVERALL SKILL LEVEL: Until his defeat by Oda Nobunaga, Tanba was renowned as the Sengoku Era’s most powerful Sorcerer, and even in the generations following his supposed 'death', he is still remembered as one of the greatest sorcerers of his age, along with the likes of Fuuma Kotaro, Mochizuki Chiyome, Akechi Mitsuhide, and the infamous 'Demon King' Nobunaga themselves. Tanba was feared for both for his prowess on the battlefield and in the shadows-- he could dismantle armies in open battle as well as assassinate their leaders without ever being seen.
Due to the combination of Tanba’s ruthlessness, his abnormal Cursed Energy, the nature of his rare Innate Technique, and the various other skills and Cursed Techniques that came to be associated with him and other Sorcerers like him (so called ‘Shinobi’), he was thought to be a living, breathing monster.
Even in the present day, where Tanba has long kept a lower profile, his skill and prowess has not degraded, and if anything, he has only gotten stronger in the centuries since his defeat by Nobunaga (though in kind his hubris has also gotten worse).
IMMEASURABLE CURSED ENERGY (ELECTRIFIED): Tanba hails from the Momochi bloodline, an ancient (though nowadays small) family of sorcerers that has existed since the beginning of the Heian. Every generation, the Momochi were known to produce Sorcerers with immense wells of Cursed Energy, but Tanba is an anamoly even by his bloodline’s standards-- not only does he possess what has called an an “abyss” of Cursed Energy, his Cursed Energy also possesses the properties of electric currents. The Momochi had always claimed relation to Taira no Masakado, one of the Three Vengeful Spirits, and Tanba’s anomalous Cursed Energy was seen as confirmation of that connection.
SHINOBI GRANDMASTER: Tanba is the last, and simultaneously the greatest, master of the Iga-ryu, an ancient school of Jujutsu that was mostly (though not fully) stamped out during the Sengoku Era. In their heyday, followers of the Iga-ryu, along with other closely related schools of Jujutsu at the time (such as the Koga-ryu or Fuuma-ryu), were known as ‘Shinobi’, though the term 'Ninja' has become the more popular moniker for such individuals throughout the years. Shinobi were taught to be masters of stealth, martial arts, and Jujutsu, though each individual school had its own unique brand of Cursed Techniques that came to be known as ‘Ninjutsu’. Tanba, being the current and last Grandmaster of the Iga-ryu (which now calls itself Yatagarasu), is exceptionally skilled with the aforementioned subcategory of Jujutsu, and has access to the Iga-ryu’s strongest Cursed Techniques, on top of his own Innate Technique and the abilities associated with it.
ALTERED PHYSIOLOGY: As a result of the mysterious rituals he underwent in his early days to become a Shinobi of the Iga-ryu, Tanba’s physiology is greatly enhanced, and while this has the bonus of making him physically stronger, faster, and durable than the average Human or Sorcerer, it also has the side effect of making him Biologically Immortal, meaning he can effectively live forever, provided he isn’t killed in combat.
GENERAL SKILLS AND TRAITS
Special Grade
Great Tactical Intellect
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant
Master Weapon's Specialist
Master Assassin
Supernatural Endurance
Enhanced Strength
Immense Speed & Reflexes
INNATE TECHNIQUE
THE SEVEN WAYS OF GOING
A Cursed Techniques that is known to run through the Momochi bloodline, and the rarest of them at that (so much so that Tanba is only the second one in the family's long history to ever possess it), it allows Tanba to transform into anyone, or anything he wishes, with all of the implications that carries. Tanba need only look upon a target and hear their voice once to assume their complete identity, while also gaining the skills, Techniques, and even Domain Expansions they have displayed despite not truly possessing them himself. The effectiveness Tanba has when using these mirrored skills and techniques can vary, but generally, he can wield them with terrifying efficiency (though when mirroring the skills and abilities of particularly powerful opponents, he likely won’t wield them as proficiently, especially if he is trying to use said abilities against their original owners).
Being ‘killed’ while assuming the likeness of someone or something else does not kill Tanba himself either, but it will force him back to his normal appearance, and leave him in a severely injured state. This Innate Technique is technically always active for Tanba, allowing him to utilize it to only change certain parts of his body at a time, but to utilize it fully, he must recite a chant that had been passed down through his family, ‘This crow has many faces, as the world will soon see; Writhe in fear, for I now walk the Seven Ways of Going’.’
DOMAIN EXPANSION
FOREST OF CROWS
A massive domain tied to Tanba’s Innate Technique, it envelops the area around him in a shadowy forest that appears to stretch on for miles, with an ancient, mountainous Sengoku-era castle looming off in the distance. Upon the branches of the trees, will be countless numbers of crows, all of whom can transform into life-like copies of the various individuals or creatures Tanba has ‘mirrored’ over the years with his Innate Technique. Thanks to the inherent electrical nature of Tanba's Cursed Energy, opponents who find themselves within this Domain will also find themselves mortally electrified should they not present proper defenses when interacting with anything within.
In particular, Tanba’s Innate Technique is at its most powerful within this Domain Expansion, with its capabilities expanded even further, allowing him to take on forms he normally wouldn’t be able to.
CURSED TOOLS AND OTHER ITEMS
The Thousand Golden Blades: They are kunai-shaped Cursed Tools with golden trimmings that Tanba uses as throwing weapons or for close melee. They are Cursed Tools of the passive nature, their blades inflicting a devastating poison-like effect upon enemies (though they can be easily deflected by Jujutsu). They are most effective when used in mass, and can utilized in such a way easily, with Tanba being able to multiply their number whenever they are thrown at a target if he wishes. The Thousand Golden Blades are especially effective during surprise attacks, too, though Tanba can utilize them in just about any combat situation with deadly skill.
Getsuruitō - (Sword of Lunar Tears): A Cursed Tool said to have originally been forged by the moon god Tsukuyomi, it is a katana-like blade that was passed down between leaders of the Momochi clan, and was bestowed upon Tanba when he became head of his family. This Cursed tool possesses the ability to manipulate moonlight and the shadows it casts, allowing it a number of effects during combat. This Cursed Tool’s power will vary depending on what phase the moon is currently in, though it is always an immensely useful tool to utilize outside of completely moonless nights.
Tsuki no kage (Shadow of the Moon) Allegedly crafted by the same entity responsible for Getsuruitō, this set of light armour was passed down between leaders of the Momochi clan, and like Getsuruitō, it was bestowed upon Tanba when he became head of his family. From dusk till dawn, this armour type Cursed Tool will completely protect the wearer from projectile attacks, ranged hostile Jujutsu attacks/effects, and from the effects of poison, with the arm and shin guards in particular resisting all manners of damage. However, the armor isn’t as effective against the Jujutsu or attacks of Curses-- its purely made to fight against other Sorcerers.
Raijū (Thunder Beast) A Cursed Tool that resembles an obsidian colored kusarigama with gold trimmings, it possesses qualities that liken its slashes to bolts of lightning. This Cursed Tool pairs well with Tanba's inherent Electrified Cursed Energy, though even so, he doesn't tend to use it as much as his other Cursed Tools, only finding it truly useful for very specific combat situations.
MISCELLANEOUS SHINOBI TOOLS: Along with the Cursed Tools Tanba possesses, he also has access to a wide array of lesser, though still useful, weaponry and tools, see here, and here.
#tanba: jjk info#;in the shadows (tanba: jjk au);#//went ahead and revamped this stuff as well as the stuff you see on his actual verses section!#//wrote most of that. *a while back* and i think this all works a little better. still not easy to translate him into the verse 1 to 1 but#//i mean its fucking tanba SDFJHSFGHJS. cant short change him too much

Please tell me some of your favorite books 👀 (I trust your tastes and I need more things to read)
Book recs! Book recs!
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang: Short story collection, all of them very good. Really captivating blend of mythology and sci-fi. The movie Arrival was based on one. Another was the only time someone has ever pulled off the "what if we made a guy's brain better" premise without giving me an allergic reaction from bad neuroscience.
The Three Body Trilogy (The Three Body Problem/The Dark Forest/Death's End) by Cixin Liu: Incredibly interesting series about aliens making first contact with China during the Cultural Revolution. Author has a way of making you actually appreciate the scale of things happening in space. I have never feared extraterrestrial life except while I was reading The Dark Forest holy crap.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman: I know tumblr already knows about Neil Gaiman because he lives here in our house like our collective favorite uncle, but Neverwhere is my favorite of his. Nice vibes. Draws you in.
Basically every book Terry Pratchett ever wrote: I'm a giant Discworld simp. It's not just funny fantasy with occasional biting social commentary--which is good on its own!--Terry Pratchett also has THE BEST PROSE I KNOW. People will post clever sentences online but it doesn't capture the way the cleverness is effortlessly woven into the very fabric of every paragraph. The whole book is like that. All the way through. My whole blog is gushing about nitty gritty details of sentences being neat. I'm all over that sh*t. Eternal favorite author.
There's a lot of Discworld books, many of them at least loosely connected in little mini-series with multiple other books. Don't get overwhelmed by reading order suggestions, most orders are fine. My own favorite starter/standalone books are Mort, Guards! Guards!, Small Gods, and Going Postal. Pick one. Read it. The prose is like that all the way through.
Pandora Hearts by Jun Mochizuki: okay that's a manga series but not enough people have read it. Come for the pretty people acting mysterious, stay for one of the best plot twists I've seen in fiction.
I also desperately want to recommend some books by Kotaro Tsunekawa, but I don't believe there are English versions of any of them (though his prose is simple and efficient if any learners want to take a crack at 夜市 or something!) Hot damn that man can worldbuild. They don't WARN you when you start learning a language that you're gonna have book recs for people who can't read them. Maybe one day I'll finally snap and fan-translate a short story on here.
