#pinky swear a thousand needles if i break it

[guhamun]

@dayrisen said (inbox):

[ nagayoshi & yuuna uwus ] ❛❛ Well ----- what a Mori - san way to comfort someone. ❜❜ She does believe in him though ; he is a devoted man after all & never once has he broken a promise he has made to her. Slowly, she shifts legs beneath her body & makes her way towards him, leaning up just enough to wrap arms securely around his neck, pulling him again her shoulder. ❛❛ As your master, I'm commanding you to always return to me, alive. ❜❜ Slowly, she releases him, leaning back to giggle into her sleeve before presenting her pinky finger. ❛❛ Swear it to me, Mori Nagayoshi. If you break this promise, you must swallow a thousand needles & walk the Sanzu River with me until I decide it's time to punch you all the way back here, okay ? ❜❜

     FOR A BERSERKER, NAGAYOSHI was remarkably in control of himself in the heat of battle, although, this was not to say that he may be amenable to orders all the time. Sometimes when one of his class saw red, especially him, it was like blood in the water; an irresistible draw that made him all the more wild like a ferocious beast unleashed. However, he would keep his promise to Yuuna in mind even through that haze and attempt to avoid any recklessness that could involve missing limbs and holes in heads. Blinking, he was a bit taken aback as she approached him, her feet soft footfalls upon the floor before she sat down before him – all polite etiquette – and gently pulled him close into an unexpected embrace. His eyes widened a bit, such gestures completely foreign to him when it came to those he served. Everyone he had faithfully followed was vicious to the letter and equally quick to discard anyone who showed even an ounce of weakness. Thus, had Yuuna been like this herself, had she been cruel and vicious, Nagayoshi wouldn’t have been surprised. He still would have served, still would have done as she ordered.

     She would be his Lady, after all.

     ❝Huh? What’s this about?❞ He frowned, confused. Giving him an order like this… Bizarre. Utterly bizarre. ❝Got it, Boss. I’ll find a way back to you, even as a torso and a head.❞ But he’d make sure his enemy was cut to pieces before that point. None would threaten his Master and live to tell the tell, be they demon or god. He might have been a wicked man who certainly deserved his own end when it came back during the era he lived, but that didn’t mean he was without loyalty. No one could question that. ❝Besides, that’s one hell of a punishment. Not even Nobunaga-sama was that harsh!❞ He laughed, lifted his hand to pat Yuuna on the back.

I’m also like. Super deaf. It’s hard to hear some words ;;

10plate = template = 1) something that serves as a model for something, like blueprints, or 2) something used to distribute weight in a wall or something

#2 def describes Ryuu lol

blue bird = a symbol of happiness usually

hummingbird = symbolizes chasing after your dreams or the good in life??? idk man

「 伝うは滲んだ　あの日の色彩の妙 」

「伝う」is convey, and「滲んだ」is to say clearly, so, following the previous line, the template is meant to convey「あの日の色彩の妙」clearly.「あの日の色彩の妙」being literally “the wonders of that day’s colors”. Though since something is being painted onto the template, it makes more sense if the colors are what’s describing something

Similarly for「伝うは描いた僕らの色彩の調」

「描いた僕ら」= the ones who painted was us/ we, who painted/drew, and「調」= “style”, the colors of which is being attributed to us? SO something like, “Conveys the colors we painted on to describe ourselves”? I think

「寄り添う僕の背を重ねて」

「寄り添う」= cuddle close, so this part translates literally to “lay on the back of me, who is cuddling close (with you)”

which leads into the next time, “you can lower your guard” presumably because Ryuu isn’t going to do anything to make you uncomfortable

Sweetest boi hands down

IMHO this song suits him so much more than Risky na Kanojo

Someone draw a soft Ryuu in the water please

If anyone could spare Ryuu’s bday rabichats, I could add songwriter/composer’s comments!

And as always, please correct me if any translations are wrong!!

Ghostic: Haunted - Chapter 4

Location: Dance Room Characters: Touri, Yuzuru, Eichi & Wataru

TL Note:

Pinky promise: The Japanese version originates from a nursery rhyme where if you break a pinky promise, you must swallow a thousand needles.

< The next day >

Eichi: Let’s start our actual lessons today.

As I explained about the choreography before, we will be performing “Ghostic Treat House” by making full use of the stage at the “ES Haunted House”.

I suppose you could call it acting. To make up for the lack of intense or difficult dancing, I’m looking more for a performance where emotions are expressed by the body.

Of course, I would love to practise on the “ES Haunted House” stage.

But, in order to have a fully elegant dance, we’ll practise in front of a mirror and focus on our posture as well as our arms and legs.

Wataru: The basics are important, after all~ Naturally, Eichi and I intend to learn everything from scratch once more so we made some preparations!

We decided to incorporate ballet into the choreography and we went to observe a haunted house at an amusement park…

I’m sure it’s been a while since your last performance, so why not start again from the basics?

Touri: Wait, did you just say you went to the amusement park with Eichi-sama?

That’s so unfair, Long-hair! You should’ve invited me too!

Wataru: Oh, my apologies.

I was told by Eichi to keep it a secret since he said, “I feel bad towards Touri”, but I accidentally let it out…♪

Touri: What? That means you wanted to keep a secret from me…! I can’t believe you did that while I was busy with the Student Council…!

Eichi: Sorry, Touri. I figured you would be busy and I didn’t want to bother you. I also had another reason to check out the amusement park.

Besides, what I really want to do is visit an amusement park with you or the others from “fine” in my own time instead of for work.

So let’s go to the amusement park together next time.

Pinky promise – You have to swallow a thousand needles if you break it[*] ♪

Touri: Uuu, you’ll die if you do something so dangerous, Eichi-sama.

You don’t have to set a punishment, but you swear!

Pinky promise… you can’t go back on your word, okay? 

Alright. That’s all set. You were witness to that right, Yuzuru?

Yuzuru: ………

Touri: Hey, what’s wrong, Yuzuru?

Yuzuru: Oh, I’m sorry. I was thinking about something.

Touri: What~? Don’t tell me you’re stressing about something too? Having Hasumi-senpai as a ball of pins and needles is more than enough already.

Well, things haven’t been smooth sailing recently, so I can understand why you’d be stressed.

We found out that some people might not get any chocolates in “Chocolate Fest”, issues cropped up left and right at the Yumenosaki “Halloween Party”,

I forgot my phone yesterday and there was even a blackout… We haven’t exactly been lucky, huh.

I’m worried that something bad might happen during our performance at this rate.

Yuzuru: Something bad…

No, it all depends on how you perceive things, Young Master.

In the end, the issues were all fixed and you also made a promise to go to the amusement park with Eichi-sama today, didn’t you? From another perspective, isn’t that something good?

Touri: Hmm~ I guess. Maybe I was thinking too negatively.

Anyway, we’ve gotta practise. Eichi-sama, can you teach me?

Eichi: Of course. It is my responsibility as the organiser, after all.

Could you stand in front of the mirror and dance for me?

Touri: Okay!

♪~♪~

Wataru: Fufufu. Eichi and Himegimi make quite a lovely picture, no? Well, I suppose I shall pair up with Mr Butler ♪

Yuzuru: Yes. I’m looking forward to your guidance, Hibiki-sama.

♪~♪~♪

Wataru: ………

Could you do that part once more?

Yuzuru: ? Yes. From this part, I presume?

♪~♪~♪

Wataru: …Hm. The usual sharpness in your movements is nowhere to be seen. Are you perhaps hurting somewhere?

Yuzuru: No, I’m not…

(But now that I think about it, I had difficulty falling asleep due to my worrying from last night.)

(Could it be that the level of my performance is dropping due to my stress about the ghost…? I don’t even want to think about it.)

(If that is true, I’m afraid of what others would think in such a serious situation.)

(Which means, I must think of something else to say.)

Yuzuru: Perhaps I’m fatigued from the busy student council work.

Wataru: My! That is a rather rare situation for you, Mr Butler…!

Then if that’s the case, please don’t push yourself during the lesson and take a rest in the medical office. You are very hard-working and resting for a day or two won't dull your abilities.

Yuzuru: N-No, I cannot inconvenience you all like that–

Wataru: Now now, it’s not good to push yourself.

If you think you will inconvenience others by resting, then why don’t we leave the decision to our leader who is in a neutral position?

Eichi? It appears Mr Butler isn’t feeling well, so you don’t mind if he rests, do you?

Eichi: Ahaha. You know what my answer is if you’re asking me, don’t you?

Yuzuru, if you’re not feeling well, I want you to rest and not take any risks.

Your health is most important. I don’t want you to be hospitalised for a long time like me.

Touri: That’s right, Yuzuru. You’re human too so don’t force yourself and take a break every now and then.

This isn’t a suggestion but an order! You have to listen to what I say!

Halloween this year is way bigger than the last, so if you’re not there, things aren’t gonna be as great.

Just take a break for today and rest well until the day of our performance, okay?

Yuzuru: R-Right. I thank you all for being so thoughtful…

Then, I shall head to the medical office. I shall make a full recovery after a short break.

So until then, I leave everything in your hands, Young Master.

[genshin-djinn]

“the frost will freeze your tongue off so you never lie again.”

This cute Snezhnayan kids’ rhyme... I think it has a bit more plot relevance than lore about Snezhnaya (just as a personal aside I would rather get frostbite and never talk again than swallow a thousand needles).

Childe definitely feels guilty about lying to Teucer, but the pinkie promise rhyme just exacerbates it and throws it into relief. Teucer has complete faith in his brother, just like he has faith in rhymes and pinkie promises. But people don’t always tell the truth, and they’ll swear to things while fully intending to break their word. And a perfect example of this is Teucer’s beloved brother.

Childe is the person who’s taught Teucer to see Ruin Guards as gentle and good. Childe is probably the one who taught Teucer the pinkie promise nursery rhyme. And yet Childe continuously lies to Teucer. These little lies— if people make a promise, they’ll keep it; if they make a mistake, they’ll apologize— have spiraled into lies that put Teucer directly into danger and have made him extremely naive.

And Childe knows this. Every time he repeats the rhyme he’s reminded of how highly Teucer values his onii-chan’s words— and how upset Teucer will be when he inevitably learns the truth. “The frost will freeze your tongue off so you never lie again.” So he keeps lying.

My Lover, My Best Friend

Fandom - Detroit: Become Human

Pairing - Blue-haired Traci/Brunette Traci

Rating - General Audiences

Notes - I'll be calling the brunette Staci and the blue-haired one Ari. I honestly don't know how I came up with the names lol.

The night was dissipating, the sky an array of different shades of blue, signs of the sun rising were present. Staci and Ari ran in a daze, hand in hand, not sure of the direction they were going, anywhere, just out of that... place.

One way or another, they would have to stop. They were two gorgeous ladies in cheap lingerie and heels running around Detroit. They weren't able to feel the cold, considering that function wasn't programmed in their systems. They had no problem running for two days straight if they could, the problem was that their heels could break anytime.

Staci often thought about her lover whenever they were separated. Now that they were presently together, her thoughts went back to the Eden Club. That wretched brothel, where they were only products meant to be brought. The thought of such a place existing only made her sick, and to think she was part of such an establishment and business only added more salt to the wound.

Ari stopped dead in her tracks, which resulted in Staci turning around and fixing her gaze at her paramour with worry. "What's the problem, dear?" Concern clear in her voice, she went over to her darling and wrapped her arms around her, pulling her closer.

"My love, are you sure we are truly free?" Staci asks, full of pessimism. Ari intently looks at the former, her sapphire eyes reflecting Staci's features, as the blue-haired android pecks the brunette's cheek.

"You need not worry, my dearest." Ari whispers to her. "For if we had been destined to remain at that brothel, that deviant hunter would have shot us in cold blood," she paused. "It is fate that we are alive. Fate that we were somehow spared at gunpoint. Fate that we were able to run away together unharmed." Staci listens intently as she sees compassion within Ari's navy irises. "I love you, and no other person can say otherwise," Ari states as artificial tears run down her synthetic skin.

They embrace each other in a silence that echoes its comfort around them. 

“Ari,” the brunette android breathes against the other’s neck. “What is it, Staci?” The blue-haired deviant replies in barely more than a whisper. “Promise to never leave me.” Her lover mumbles. “I promise. Pinky swear,” She brings her pinky finger up between them. “’If I lie, I will drink a thousand needles.’” Ari quotes, an old saying she once heard when a couple went to the Eden Club and rented an android, something that somehow she was able to remember despite being reset hundred of times. Staci completes the oath by bringing up her own little finger to lock it with Ari’s.

By the time they let go, the light from the rising sun spills from the horizon, a sign of light in the dark, sort of like finding hope despite everything that happens.

“I love you, Staci. I would never feel complete without you.”

“Ari, I love you too. I’ll protect your life with mine, even if you won’t.” She says as she plants one more kiss to her lover’s lips.

[willyoustilllovemeifimbroken]

"Are you serious? Break the law more? That's your plan?" He asks in shock. "Ugh. Fine. But I need the gun back. It's registered in my name and I know a guy who can get rid of it cleanly. I'm also going to need it to knock you out." He admits. He really doesn't want to go on the lamb but if this is his only option. He sighed. "Matteo. I'm going on a business trip. Ok? I need you to stay here. I'm sorry chamaco that I couldn't take you for ice cream today. But when I get back I will. I promise. But you need remember. Pink swear not tell anyone anything about me. Or this." He says and Matteo frown not looking Kyle in the eyes but he put up his pinky. They made their very serious oath they make for things as important as this. So Matteo knows how serious Kyle is. At the same time they pinky swear in a chant. "Pinky swear. If I lie hope to die. A thousand needles in my eye." Kyle then stands and turns to the other. "Are you sure about this?" He asks once more.

closed - for Jim Street

Kyle had come to the home where he and his mother had decided to put his baby brother Mateo after his mom got too old to take care of him full time and Kyle couldn't either not being equipped to deal with that. Now there was cops and swat outside. He freaked out and the cop had said what was happening and that swat had it handled. Apparently someone place under lockdown with hostages.

Like hell they did. He went back to his car and got his licensed handgun with the not so legal silencer. After getting up to the roof of the building next door. He hadn't done this in years but he ran to the edge and parkoured off one roof onto then onto the roof of the building his brother was in, rolling to a stop. He forgot that if you weren't used to it that it hurt like a bitch. But he got up and dusted himself off. He then went in through the roof access and began combing through place searching for his brother and any of the armed assailants. He had no idea a sniper had noticed what was going on and alerted the team that was just about to go in. Meanwhile Kyle started taking down armed men in upper hallway John Wick style even the sniper on comms made a comment he wasn't expecting that.

OMG HAJISHUN DEMON HAJISHUN

MY FELLOW HAJISHUN COMRADES

@kirakirafairyprincess​ @six-gravity-procellarum​ @judaiteitoreokou​ @shiroekoyuki​ and @aina-akabane BECAUSE YOU REBLOGGED MY HAJISHUN SYMBOLISM ANALYSIS AND I SAW FROM YOUR TAG IT’S THE SECOND TIME AND I’M SO HONORED I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND BEING TAGGED IT’S MY WAY OF SHOWING MY APPRECIATION!

I AM BACK

I WAS TRYING TO HARDSUB MY MONOCHROME SKY AMV

BUT IT WAS A FUCKING TEDIOUS PROCESS SO I WENT TO TSUKIUTA FACEBOOK

AND I FOUND THIS

(Source: https://www.facebook.com/Tsukiuta.series/photos/a.876878715735896.1073741828.874342925989475/1412166178873811/?type=3&theater)

HAJIME AND SHUN FOX DEMON FORM AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO KISS!!!!!!!!!!

I’M SORRY I CAN’T CONTROL MY EXCITEMENT I CAN’T CONTROL MY HEART I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS PICTURE IS REAL

LOOK AT THEIR PINKY FINGER. 

THEY HAVE MATCHING RINGS!!!!

The left ring finger you already know about, so next is the right ring finger. A ring on this finger has the power to calm us down. Finally, the left pinky finger brings us a chance to meet with a wonderful love, while the right ring finger is said to allow us to express ourselves. 

Rings for the little fingers of either hand are called pinky rings, but the left pinky ring stands not only for meeting your loved one, but also for deepening a bond between lovers, and is even useful for when you want a wish of any kind granted, even when unrelated to love.

(http://theosakakoneko.blogspot.sg/2010/03/lets-talk-about-rings.html)

HERE’S ANOTHER SOURCE

[Wearing a pair ring on] the pinky finger symbolizes ‘chance’ or ‘secrets.’ For example, it is usually worn to calm the heart in case of unforeseen changes. It also symbolizes a protection of love and holds power to fulfill your wishes. The pair ring can be a symbol of a love that will start for the two of them,

Wearing the pair ring on your left fingers means that you want your wishes to come true and the left pinky is the best finger to protect it. It can also help aid you when you are looking for a lover or to protect you from dissatisfaction with your present condition.

(http://aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/97225486526)

SO BASICALLY HAJISHUN LOVE!

...Alright. I’m calm....

Ok so the pinky finger is also important because of pinky promises

Pinky swearing presumably started in Japan, where it is called yubikiri (指切り, "finger cut-off") and often additionally confirmed with the vow "Finger cut-off, ten thousand fist-punchings, whoever lies has to swallow thousand needles." (指切拳万、嘘ついたら針千本呑ます "Yubikiri genman, uso tsuitara hari senbon nomasu").[2] The gesture may be connected to the Japanese belief that soulmates are connected by a red string of fate attached to each of their pinkies.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinky_swear)

and the red string of fate

The Red String of Fate (simplified Chinese: 姻缘红线; traditional Chinese: 姻緣紅線; pinyin: Yīnyuán hóngxiàn), also referred to as the Red String of Marriage, and other variants, is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend.According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red cord around the ankles of those that are destined to meet one another in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way. Often, in Japanese and Korean culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger

The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmate or a destined flame.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_string_of_fate)

And guess where do pinky promises appear? 

The continuously forgotten pinkie promises, are the traces of a dream, in the crossing flower language

It slowly sways, it wavers, the beginning of spring rushing to awaken love, we are the opposite, waiting impatiently in the wind

- Mutsuki Hajime & Yayoi Haru, Hajimaru no Haru

(http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/Hajimari_no_Haru_(song))

In Hajime’s (and Haru’s) song.

So I theorized in my HajiShun alternate universe theory that in this song he’s singing to Yuki because she sings about pinky promises as well -

But what if he’s singing to Shun???

The moon flinches, at the time of the six flowers. Your freezing visage, choked in tears. You whisper, swaying the water’s edge. The faint face image, I reach out my hand while crawling. The pain in my heart froze like ice and fades away.

In order to hold you in my arms, this arm twines itself around itself in everlasting darkness.

Beside the confusing request, a dark laugh. In the vanishing abyss, a fragile voice “In order to meet you again.” ―Do you have the resolution to carry the curse on your shoulders?�� The tears of blood that follow your cheek and possibly the grieving matter as well. The dark reality, screams after death and disappears in the snow. The dark laughter. The end of influence for the fellow demons way.

- Mutsuki Hajime, Hyourin Shiki

(http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/Hyourin_Shiki_(song))

We have demons here which is even more implication that Hajime’s lover was Shun, who’s the Demon Lord.

Perhaps Shun was a demon and so their love was forbidden, and Hajime was cursed as a result which is why he had to disappear. Or perhaps Shun was a human who made a contract with a demon to see Hajime again and they both had to pay the price. But since it says ‘fellow demons’ it seems more likely Shun was a demon and so his and Hajime’s love was forbidden. Or Hajime is the demon since it says Purple Moon Demon…but Shun is the Demon Lord.

We also have the crying person again, and the pain in Hajime’s heart ‘froze like ice and fades away’ when they whispered. Ice is Shun’s element.

’In order to hold you in my arms’ ‘vanishing abyss’ ‘reach out my hand while crawling’ it seems something or someone took Shun away from Hajime.

(http://zephyrsus.tumblr.com/post/162999128257/alternate-universe-theory-of-hajimes-songs#notes)

As I said in the other theory it seemed it was something to do with demons that Shun was taken away from Hajime. 

And Hajime disappeared because he did something to hold Shun in his arms again.

So I know it’s just a picture (no, it isn’t just a picture butterflyandcamelliatheoryanyone?) 

Anyway what if the alternate universe theory has some truth and Hajime and Shun were lovers in some alternate universe and so ‘The continuously forgotten pinkie promises, are the traces of a dream, in the crossing flower language’ is alluding to that - the red string of fate? Like dream - of another life in another universe, and Hajime forgot their pinky promises because he forgot they were tied by the red string of fate (maybe his punishment for the curse he bore for Shun’s sake). Shun remembers, which is why he so easily loves Hajime, even if his love is unrequited.

‘[Wearing a pair ring on] the pinky finger symbolizes ‘chance’ or ‘secrets.’ - I know this is just from one source but it’s so coincidental and could be alluding to that, to their secret of having been lovers in an alternate universe. After all Tsukiuta has supernatural elements and so an alternate universe theory wouldn’t be so farfetched when we already have Shun as the Demon Lord and the goddesses of the moon.

(@kirakirafairyprincess​ to you who read The End and The Beginning, I just have to say that omg FIRE and WIND elements are near Shun - You and Rui - his Royal Advisor and Royal Magician! I’m so excited that my story somehow coincides with official art lol! And Shun is wearing white with purple designs - reminds me of how he wanted to change his bedroom’s color scheme to purple and silver xDDD. Ok Shun isn’t a fox demon in there and neither is Hajime but yeah so cute lol and as you said PINKY PROMISES WITH OU-SAMA YES IT’S CANON) 

So who took Shun away?

Well you know what they say, the most friendly ones are the ones to be most suspicious of.....(Haru was joked to have a suspicious appearance lol and even his little sister said he looked like the guy who would betray everyone in his Tsukino Empire design)

This is just a theory, but it could be Kai.

We know Kai is more than the caring older brother from his song Beast Master. And if you look in the picture above, the element of water in a bubble is the only element over Shun. (It looks like it could be ice, but it’s in swirls and looks like it’s in a bluish transparent liquid form - water)

And from Hyourin Shiki -

You whisper, swaying the water’s edge. The faint face image, I reach out my hand while crawling. The pain in my heart froze like ice and fades away.

In order to hold you in my arms, this arm twines itself around itself in everlasting darkness.

Beside the confusing request, a dark laugh.

(By the way the project is called ‘Night Parade of a Hundred Demons’. So yeah. Demons.)

We know ‘froze like ice’ is referring to Shun because his element is ice.

But ‘you whisper, swaying the water’s edge’. The water’s edge. Shun always says Kai is like the ocean. Basically, water. I assume this means Shun, or his image, is in the water as Hajime tries desperately and crawls to reach him. So since water is Kai’s element, Kai could be the demon who took Shun away.

And so Hajime descended into darkness (perhaps represented by the element of darkness beside him in the form of an orb) in order to hold Shun in his arms again.

I mean it’s just a theory but wouldn’t it be such an interesting twist? For Kai to have been the bad guy. It would make the story even more interesting I think

Was told to mimic a Demon Lord and say a pickup line, and did the job so well that even the real Demon Lord (Shun) complimented and suggested to him to become a Demon Lord

(I also have a theory on how Shun is connected to Kai’s girl and it could connect to this.) 

Well anyway yeah Kai isn’t only the caring older brother, he has a ‘beast master’ side too. What if he was a Demon Lord too? Or the real Demon Lord. How could Shun have been taken away if he was the Demon Lord?

Of course it’s unlikely, even if it were true, that Tsukiuta focused more on comedy and humorous slice of life would take a turn in this kind of supernatural direction but wouldn’t it be so interesting to see? And even if it doesn’t, it’s fun to theorize anyway! 

Now my only question is if Shun was a girl in that alternate universe when he/she was Hajime’s lover xDDD. Shun is Procella’s Pretty Pure Princess after all! 

I know this is kind of out of the blue so if nothing else, at least, HajiShun~!

Summary:  An AU where the bruises and cuts of a soulmate appear on the skin. Gon becomes increasingly worried about his soulmate as he gets tattooed with new marks everyday, and hopes to find the person soon. Killua, on the other hand, has been brainwashed by his family to believe that the spots on his skin are a curse from the person who plans to target and kill him, as they believe learning about a soulmate would make him soft during jobs.

Chapter 2: Promises X and X Kisses

Gon perched silently in the large tree rooted in the shallow depths of the lake. He shaded himself from the dangerous rays of the sun with a makeshift leaf hat, which cut to fit the shape of his head as many a leafs before it’s time. The fishing pole he sported bobbed a ball at the end of a line, which waited patiently for prey to snag it. The forest dwelling human was well accustomed to long periods of waits, and would spend hours at a time lost deep in his own thoughts. His mind swirled around aimlessly, but many thoughts would cause him to take a small glance at miscellaneous marks on his skin.

Today, he had decided, would be the day. The boy woke up in horror that morning with a wide bruised gash along the palm of his left hand. He was tired of waking up to the dark spots every morning. Yes, today, he had decided, he would tell Mito he wanted to take the Hunter exam.

He had heard all about it from his great grandmother; how his father had left Whale Island at an early age to take the hunter exam. Mito had been furious with him leaving her behind all alone. Gon knew aunt Mito harbored harsh feelings for her cousin, and it wasn’t exactly that she hated him. She was just upset that he would never bother to visit or contact them. Even when his father, Ging, had visited years later after he had originally departed, he had only stayed long enough to leave Gon in Mito’s care.

Gon’s great grandmother had explained to the bright eyed raven that his father had become a hunter because he wanted to find something. There was no specification, and Gon was not entirely sure if anyone really knew exactly what Ging really wanted to find.

But Gon could at least vouch for himself. There was no doubt in his mind that he wanted to become a hunter so that he could find his soulmate and figure out just what they had been experiencing all this time. Gon wanted to find them, and ask them why there was a sliver of deep cobalt that dragged across his left hand, why his thigh looked as if it might have been beaten down to the bone, why everyday he woke up and counted the number of new bruises in the collection on his sun kissed skin.

Chapped lips curled into a determined smile as his grip tightened on the old fishing rod. “I’ll find you…” his eyes shimmered when a tremendous tug drowned the red bobber into the lake water. The teen grunted, pulling and flexing. “I’ll take the exam-“ his voice rose happily. Gon pulled the rod and trailed around his tree perch; his leaf hat long gone when the tug had startled his body into action. “-and I’ll find information about you! And I’ll find you!” The excited boy finally managed to haul the enormous fish out from the depths of the water.

It was quite a gross looking fish really. The water creature had large white eyes with a dense, soulless pupil in the center of each. The mouth of the fist was lined with ivory jagged teeth, presumably for ripping into tender flesh. However, the most significant feature of the fish that set him apart from the rest were the large, almost insect like legs located at the belly. Similar to the fingers on a crane, the king of the lake was known for using it’s abnormal legs to grab ahold of a meal; making escape entirely impossible. However, all eight legs were completely useless on land.

Gon tossed the body of his prize onto to the ground far below him, and quickly set about packing his belongings to venture back to the bar that Aunt Mito dutifully managed everyday.

“Aunt Mito!! Aunt Mito~!” Aa giant blob of blue seemed to be calling out to the woman from far down the dirt path. It bounced up and down as it steadily came closer and closer to the young red headed woman. Hearing the calls from her young relative was relieving; she kept it to herself that seeing a giant fish with bug legs bouncing faster in her direction would probably have caused her to faint.

As Gon finally finished his approach, Mito spread the tips of her lips into a radiant smile. “Aunt Mito, I caught the king just like I said I would!” The giant body slammed down, finally revealing the small boy who was about a third of the size of the monstrous lake creature.

“I see that,” Mito chuckled. She faced back towards him for a moment, placing a pin on the freshly clean sheet she was hanging on the line to dry. “So now that you’ve finally caught him, what’s your big plan?” Are you gonna tell me or is it still some big secret?”

Gon had decided not to tell anyone his plan until he was successful in capturing the king of the lake; which not even five grown men who’d been fishing their entire life could manage to do together. The only one who had ever accomplished this feat was his father, Ging. Gon made it perfectly clear for himself: prove that you’re strong enough to take the hunter exam to yourself and everyone else. Once that’s been done, he’ll be able to take it.

His chest expanded proudly as he stood as high as was physically possible. “I’m gonna take the Hunter exam!”

“WHA-” The clip Mito had in her hand snapped from between her fingers. The towel she had been hanging over the line now slipped off, blowing in the wind. The teenage boy lunged out for it, and he successfully caught, he couldn’t manage to successfully  dodge the basket of clothing that he tripped over, which now spread clothing all about the dirty ground. Gon laughed lightly, realizing he would be forced to wash all the clothes that he just dirtied in his attempt to capture one piece of fabric.

In an attempt to make light of the situation, he held the towel he had caught out to Mito, who had been staring at him with a rather unusual look. Gon wasn’t quite sure what it meant, but he could feel the tension that began to brew around his caregiver.

“Ah, Aunt Mi-”

“Why?” She cut him off.

“Huh?”

“Why do you want to take the exam?” Her fingers tangled into the skirt of her dress.

“I…” Gon began, confused as to why she seemed angry at the thought. Sure his father had left to take the exam around his age but, Gon was at least giving a warning. His father just left on a whim, but Gon was telling her. Gon would never leave her without telling her… “I want to find them.” He pointed to the mark on his left hand. “I’m going to take the exam so that I can gain access to the information that only hunters can. And then I’ll find them.” His voice never wavered.

“Gon…” Mito’s eyes dig deep into his. She was silent for a while, then finally spoke softly. “So this has nothing to do with Ging?”

The boy shrugged. “Not really… I am a bit curious as to why he had decided to be a hunter instead of taking care of me. But I’m grateful for your care over his and now I just need to know that this person is in a safe place.”

“You have to promise me something then…” Mito sighed.

“Anything.” There was no hesitation.

“When you find them, you have to come back home safe with them.”

Gon’s face lit up, his grin practically filling his whole face. “I won’t let you down, Aunt Mito!” His jump pressed himself onto Mito’s stomach, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. “I promise!”

Gon had one week before his departure. Aunt Mito had continued becoming tense as the days continued forward. Gon would have focused more on how she was acting of his mind wasn’t occupied elsewhere.

Gon had noticed the morning after he had caught the monstrous fish that there were no new bruises or marks. None. And when he realized this, part of him was ecstatic. It meant the person wasn’t getting hurt. However, he also felt a bit fearful for them, and was even a bit skeptical as this happened the day after it was confirmed he’d be taking the exam.

Why would they gain bruises everyday then suddenly just stop? Where they in some critical condition? Gon knew from other pairs of soul mates on Whale Island that if one person was severely ill or had a broken bone, the other person would be fine. The only thing that the two spirits shared were marks of the skin.

Which meant that there was a possibility that this person could be in a far worse condition than just scrapes of the skin.

Gon had to find them no matter what.

The morning Gon left sent him off with a soft breeze. The sky was littered with soft clouds, and the temperature was meant for a lazy day; warm, but comfy.

But Gon didn’t have time for a lazy day. He was staying his journey.

But not before saying goodbye to the woman he held closest to his heart.

He gave her a hug suitable to squeeze the life of someone, but not the love.

After they pulled apart from each other, Mito held her pinky i out to him. “You have to keep your promise.” She said sternly.

“Yup!” He locked his pinky with hers as they began the ritual of bouncing their hands while singing “pinky swear made! Whoever breaks their promise has to swallow a thousand needles!” Their thumbs lifted pressing into each other. “Sealed with a kiss!”
