triple hall trouble

shinonome akito - project sekai

crack, fluff

desc; reader + rui + tsukasa causes hell to break loose in kamiyama, an in panic mode, a cringe capture scene + flustered akito :>

“Hey! Get out of the way!!” Shrill voice echoing as you sped through the busy students crowding the school halls.

“W-Woah! Watch where you’re going!”

You barely dodged the poor dude as the remote controlled cart you rode was able to react in time before an accident could happen. You curse the person behind the controls, should have foreseen this coming from miles away when the three of you collectively let Tsukasa handle the wheel.

“Dumbass Tsukasa! Don’t just ram straight into people! Learn to steer the wheel properly!”

“I’m trying, okay?!”

You shouted to your blonde friend who was fairly struggling to keep up with you, whilst managing the cart at the same time. Rui was running beside him, amused by how well his new creation is working. Of course, only the three of you would be smart enough to test this high speed cart of his in a cramped up school hall, instead of an empty field.

“Fufu, the engines are working splendidly, Tsukasa-kun. I think it’s time to amp up the boosters, don’tcha think?”

“W-W-What?! You want us to go faster?!”

“Rui! I don’t think my eyelashes can keep up with any more speed, they’re gonna fly off!”

That was certainly a concern, but that’s nothing compared to the speedy hall monitor rushing to catch up to the three of you. You peeked back to see a pissed off An, complete with a dark aura surrounding her, running your way.

“GUYS! CODE RED! AN’S HERE!”

“Abort missio—!”

You desperately warned but to no avail, she caught up to the boys before you knew it. Wait a second, since when was An this fast? Did she recently join the track team or something?!

“You three again! Couldn’t you have chosen a better time and place to commit your heinous activities?!”

“Ouch, that stings-!”

“Ah! Ah! Please spare us!”

You watched in horror as An smacked the two boys in the head. She was beyond stressed, you can almost see the wrinkles forming on her pretty face. It’s kinda funny to finally see them getting a piece of their own medicine but then you remembered you weren’t exactly innocent either. Now’s not the time to be watching them, you should find a way to escape too———wait, if Tsukasa is out of it, then why is the cart still speeding?

You whipped your head to the front in panic. Two oblivious students leaving their classes were directly in your field of movement; unbeknownst to them, a clash is bound to happen.

“Augh, can’t believe we still have three hours of lessons after recess.”

“You speak as if you’re new to school, Akito.”

“Yeah, yeah, but it’s still tiring, Toya.”

‘Oh heavenly sakes, why of all times!’ You grumbled mentally at how they failed to notice the loud screeching of the cart tires heading their way.

“Hey! Move away!!” Shouting as loud as you can to grab their attention, the colours drained from their faces when they realised the current situation. Alas, it was too late, you could barely catch a glimpse at their faces before you were almost at eye-to-eye distance of impact. It happened so fast, fear finally creeping up to you in the final moments.

‘Is it finally my time to leave for heaven? God, please forgive my sins for all the times I skipped my classes and homeworks,’ Inwardly praying and closing your eyes, you accepted your fate.

You felt a firm hit to the side of your cart and your body was forcefully lifted by strong arms grabbing you by your underarms, saving you from tumbling along with the cart that was kicked away. Realising you felt no pain, you opened your eyes, only to meet a pair of golden irises staring—no, glaring into your soul.

“Eh?” You squeaked, though he shut you up with a snarl.

“You only have 5 minutes to explain yourself.” He growled, eyebrows furrowed in anger. It was a big contradiction to how gently he was holding you, a hand under your arm stretching to hold you firmly by your backside and another in the curve of your waist, balancing you on your feet.

“U-Uh I actually-” Trying to think of any excuse, you looked past him to his dual-haired friend for any sort of help or bail.

“Um, Akito, maybe let her calm down first?”

“Like hell I’m letting her calm down when she almost wrecked into us!”

Well, that backfired, he seems even more furious now. Just when you were about to make up a reasonable excuse, you heard An screaming to Akito from across the halls. Bad luck at it’s finest, why must she arrive now?!

“Akito, hold onto her for me, don’t let her escape!

He immediately took action and squeezed his hand on your waist tighter, keeping you from slipping away. Your frightened face was met with an evil glare and a sneer, he knew exactly where this was going. You’re not going anywhere as a punishment for your crime.

Overwhelmed by panic, your brain almost short-circuited yet you did the only thing you could think of to catch him off guard. Besides, he had a cute face anyway, that’s killing two birds with one stone! Swiftly, you shut your eyes and pecked him on the lips, long enough to stun him and loosen his grip on you.

“M-Mmh?!” His muffled voice was in obvious shock, his eyes almost jumping out of their sockets.

Just as you expected, both of his hands fell to his sides in disbelief. Taking the chance, you zipped past him and ran as fast as you can. In those exact moments, you still managed to slip a flirty line from afar though,

“Next time, I’ll make you reciprocate the kiss!”

He was visibly flushed, a hand covering his lips where it happened as he stared at you, just in time to see you winking back at him before leaving him in the dust with Toya.

In the distance, An was hot on your trail while Akito still stood in utter silence from shock. Toya looked at him in concern, it’s not everyday you see the ginger get flustered to the point where he’s too stunned to speak.

“Akito, you okay there?”

“…” He was bright red to the tip of his ears, painting his pale skin in a burst of colour.

“Akito?” Toya placed his hand on his friend’s shoulder to snap him out of it.

“S-Shut up, I’m fine. Let’s go.” He grumbled, back to his strong guy act despite his demeanour giving it away. Plus, he almost tripped on his own feet on the way to the cafeteria.

That was definitely not how he expected his first kiss to be.

summary: a mountain deity meets a suspicious eel.

length: 5k+

taku’s notes: ah, I finally posted this. It was meant to be posted for a previous milestone but it was delayed, but here it is now jbhjfb I may have gotten carried away with this when I first thought of the AU;;; also !! special thanks to ghostie and rui for helping me with this. If you see this, ily !! this also a three way collab with sven and @xxunrxvelingxx !! please check out their fics when they post it hehe~ they’ll be making separate fics that will go along with our agreed theme which is legends and myths from our home countries. In my case, this was inspired by the story of Maria Makiling!

"I have provided you everything the mountain has to offer and yet you greedy humans still want more?“ The thunder boomed, matching your footsteps as you made your way to sit on a log stool. Crossing your legs, you said, “I’ve had enough of you humans trying to steal my valuables.” Rain suddenly started to pour down, soaking the four men standing in front of the mountain deity.

They were shaking in fear as they saw the look you were giving them, they heard that you were usually a gentle and kind person who had never laid a hand on the village folk who lived on the mountain. They scrambled to their feet, with pitiful expressions on their faces as they desperately tried to run away. You made no effort to chase them as you already knew there was no way they would make it back alive. This mountain is your domain, surely they would get lost and stay trapped here forever.

You were usually a kind being but you would spare no mercy for those who enter the mountain with malicious intentions. The locals knew better than to do that but — unfortunately, those men who tried to steal from you were foreigners.

Your rage didn’t go away instead, it had gotten stronger. The rain was getting heavier, a flood was ready to form and an earthquake was about to start. There was no room for the village folk inside your head, your rage had overruled every moral you once upheld. It was cruel of you to bring these disasters to innocent people — however, nobody would dare to cross you ever again. They knew that angering a deity was never a bright idea, especially if they still had plans to live.

“Hah… Foolish humans..! Always scurrying around, striving to attack me and rob me of my riches. In the end, they’ll just meet their doom.”

There was something off about the man who entered the mountain. It seemed like he was struggling to walk. The rage you felt days ago has now disappeared and you felt the need to help the struggling man. You jumped off a tree branch you were sitting on to get a better look on his face — heterochromic eyes, it was unusual to see those around here, especially when you had isolated yourself in the mountains. He had teal hair with a darker and longer strand framing the left side of his face. He was beautiful, your breath was taken away the moment you laid your eyes upon him.

Then you finally decide to appear in front of him. His senses did not pick up your presence since he was too busy trying to regain his balance. When he finally looked ahead and saw you, his eyes widened and slipped.

“Ah-!” He was about to fall. He still wasn’t used to being able to walk on land, his balance was still sloppy and the way he walked was unnatural. Ever since his tail turned into human legs, he’s been walking aimlessly on land with nothing but a dirty tunic on. He had nobody to teach him about how land folks act or lived, he quickly became an outcast among the villagers by the mountain, which sparked your curiosity.

“..! Be more careful!” You grabbed his hand before he could fall, pulling him up to safety. He finally got a proper look at his saviour and the sight took his breath away. Were you the mountain deity they talked about back in the village? He kept a straight face while trying to connect the dots in his head. Weren’t you the reason he tried to climb the mountain? The blue haired man couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle, “Forgive me, it seems that I’m still not accustomed to my newly acquired legs.” He spoke in a gentlemanly manner which surprises you. Maybe it was because of his dirty tunic that you thought he was going to be a bit more rough around the edges. You knew it was bad to judge a book by its cover and yet you still couldn’t help but do it anyway.

“What’s your name?” The cold tone in your voice sent shivers to the man’s spine, surely you had the aura of a deity! He heard the rumours about the gentle and kind lady up in the mountains, but it seemed like you were still kind of ticked off by the last incident he heard about. The man put his hand by his chest and introduced himself with a smile, “I go by Jade, Jade Leech. Would the lovely lady also do the honor of giving me her name?” It was faint but you noticed it — he was dangerous.

It didn’t take long for you to become attached to Jade, he charmed you the moment you met. Your first meeting consisted of you asking Jade a few questions about himself while walking through the woods. You discovered that Jade originally had no legs, thus his lack of ability to be able to walk properly. You offered him help and thankfully, he was a fast learner when provided with guidance. In less than a day, he had already mastered how to walk with his own two legs.

You were bound to the mountain, you could never leave because you are its guardian. Shall you ever try to leave, your body would run out of oxygen and pass. It seems like Jade was a little fond of your company as he went back up in the mountains the following day.

He was still wearing the dirty tunic when he came to visit you today, you had seen this coming so you had a nearby pixie fetch you some clothes for the tall man. When you handed the clothes to him, he couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, he was intimidated by your cold demeanor yesterday but today it seemed like you were finally fitting the positive rumours surrounding you. A kind and gentle lady who would often go to the village to give your blessings. “Thank you,” Jade hummed out, straying far from you to change into the clothes you gave him. You felt your cheeks flare up a bit when he gave you a smile. You couldn’t help but wonder how this blooming friendship of yours would end. After all, he’s just a mortal, isn’t he?

28 days remain.

“Oya, a new mushroom to add my collection.” Jade was delighted as he crouched down to examine the newly found mushrooms on the ground. You mentally compare the current Jade you know to the Jade you first met — it seemed like he was an entirely different person. He picks up land dwellers’ qualities and habits fast and now you wouldn’t even dare think about how this man didn’t know how to walk properly just a week ago!

You tried to introduce him to a lot of things the mountain has to offer and yet somehow, he found himself climbing up the mountain on a daily basis just to see you. The village folk were a bit skeptical due to his odd behavior and at his sudden transformation, but they soon dropped the gossip when someone told them the both of you were lovers. It was a ridiculous thought but you never said anything when you saw how they had treated Jade better.

The more time you spent with him, the more you felt these complicated feelings, like your heart was tied to a knot. The way he smiled at you made it feel like your heart was being squeezed, and the way his eyes sparkled when he talked about mushrooms was simply too adorable! You noticed all the little things about Jade and it made you wonder about how you were going to label these feelings you have for him. You liked to believe that you know everything about the world, but the world loves proving you wrong. You were still naive, even if you are a deity.

21 days remain.

“You’ve gotten better at acting like a land dweller.” Your cold tone made it clear to Jade that something definitely happened to piss you off while he was away. Perhaps it was another human trying to rob you of your riches? Or to take your head as a trophy? No. Jade shook his head at the thought of someone trying to harm you. After all, it is impossible to do so.

For the past few weeks, he has somehow grown accustomed to your sudden coldness and harsh tones. The people that heard of the mountain deity’s treasures have increased and were bold enough to challenge themselves against you. They gathered into groups and shouted out insults directed at you. You had neither time nor patience to deal with every pest that was bold enough to threaten you, so you had the mountain itself deal with them. If they entered the mountain, they would surely get lost and never be seen again due to natural reasons.

The only reason why Jade and a few villagers were able to enter the mountain and get back unharmed is because you let them. The moment you sense malicious intent directed at you — they would be disposed of. You were merciless when it came to matters regarding your life and the state of the mountain. Jade knew that, both of you spent enough time together for him to know these kinds of things. With slow steps, Jade approached you, his usual smile was absent and this surprised you a bit. His expression was serious while cupping your cheek with his bare hands, it was warm. You found yourself rub your cheek against his comforting touch, he knew exactly what you were feeling and this reassured you. Jade pulled back his hand and placed it on your head instead, ruffling your hair a bit, “Have you been resting well?”

Truth be told, you haven’t gotten a wink of sleep ever since the attacks increased. Your guard was always up and a chance to sleep never came. However, when Jade ruffled your hair, every muscle in your body relaxed, you fought the urge to close your eyes. Jade didn’t fail to notice your tired state and sat beside you on the log stool that was big enough to hold the two of you. He made you lean against his broad shoulder while stroking your head, his comforting touch making you go closer and closer to your desired rest. You closed your eyes and drifted into sleep, not hearing Jade’s endearing words “Sleep well, My beloved.”

14 days remain.

“Have you done it yet?” Jade entered his temporary lodging to see a beautiful young woman with long black hair sitting on his bed. Jade’s warm eyes turned cold as he glared at the woman who intruded his home. Jade didn’t bother to put up the gentlemanly act anymore. He lunged forward towards the woman and wrapped his fingers around her neck, lifting her smaller figure up in the air as Jade squeezed her neck. The woman was letting out choked noises as Jade continued to give her a cold glare. “W-Wait!” She managed to let out a word, Jade stopped for a moment. “You still need me, you can’t kill me.” The panicked and pained expression on the woman’s face brought immense pleasure to Jade. Oh how he loathed this woman! Jade was ready to snap her neck, staring coldly into her eyes as he squeezed her neck a bit more before suddenly letting go. The woman fell to the ground, hacking out coughs as she tried to regain oxygen in her system. Jade’s unusual rage has calmed down a bit after thinking rationally, he went into his kitchen and brought out some teacups, “Would you like some tea?”

The sweet aroma filled the cozy house as Jade delicately poured tea into the teacups. The woman sitting across him had a suspicious look, staring at the teacup. “Oh, please go ahead. Don’t be shy.” Jade insisted, an eerily calm smile decorating his face, as though the earlier events hadn’t happened at all. “It’s not poisoned, is it? I know how badly you want me dead but,” the woman pushed away the teacup, crossing her legs and arms as a confident look suddenly decorated her face. “If you still want your precious twin brother to live, I suggest you shouldn’t kill me.” Jade’s gentlemanly smile curled up into a big smirk as he set down his teacup, “And what made you think that I still needed you to do so? You’re basically useless.“

For a moment, the woman shot Jade a terrified look. She knew that Jade was capable of killing her at any given time, she had to think of an excuse to stay alive. “You won’t be able to use the deity’s heart to cure Floyd without me.” It was true. Even if Jade has gotten the deity’s heart right in his palms, he wouldn’t be able to use it to treat Floyd’s condition. Jade frowned upon hearing the words ‘deity’s heart’. It was the only reason why Jade approached you, he was skillful in deceiving others and masking his true intentions. Though it seemed like his mask was slowly breaking the more time he spent with you. It was true that he was fond of you — very fond but Jade wouldn’t allow himself to admit the feelings he held for you.

If he ever admitted to himself that he fell in love with you, it would just pain him more thinking about the cruel acts he was about to commit. “I’m close to obtaining her heart. Once I get my hands on it, we’re going back to the Coral Sea immediately.” His monotonous voice scared the woman a bit, how could he be so calm when he’s about to betray a deity? “Got it, witch?” Jade coldly asked the woman. The said woman snapped out of her daze and refuted, “Don’t call me that, I told you, my name is-"

"Do I look like I care?”

7 days remain.

“Dancing? When did you learn how to dance, Jade?” Jade only let out a mere chuckle as you gave him a curious glance. You looked better than before — the color of your face was slowly coming back thanks to Jade. His presence soothed you and you couldn’t help but let your guard down — you trust him. It has only been a month since the two of you met but you would already trust him with your life. What is this feeling…? What did humans call it again? Attachment..? Or was it fondness…or love? You didn’t know the answer. The moonlight shined upon both of your figures sitting down on the grass. “Do you underestimate me that much?” A teasing smirk appeared on his face, you panicked for a moment because deep down, you actually did underestimate him a bit. You looked away from him, a light hue of pink dusting your cheeks. Shame rising up from the pit of your stomach.

“Oh my, it seems like I’ve gotten my answer. It’d be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed.” Jade faked tears, wiping them away dramatically as you giggled at his actions. Jade stood up from the grass, his polite smile never disappearing from his face. Even though he gave everyone that smile, you couldn’t help but feel like there was an underlying tone of feelings and affection he held for you. Yet, you brushed it off like it was nothing — still denying the fact that you were indeed falling in love with him. Jade outstretched his hand towards you, trying to help you up. At that moment, you couldn’t help but think that you were becoming so helpless around him.

Hesitantly, you took his hand as he helped you up to your feet. You stumbled forward a bit and lost your footing, almost falling had it not been for Jade who catched you before you fell. “Careful!” He warned you, wrapping his arms around your figure as you steadied your balance. You could feel his heart beating, you closed your eyes and allowed your head to lean into his chest — listening to nothing but the beat of his heart. Is this what it means to fall in love? Jade was taken aback for a moment, he didn’t expect you to suddenly rest your head against his chest while standing up. He let out a sigh as he wrapped his arms tighter around you, his gaze filled with an unexplainable fondness. Oh how he wished this moment lasted forever.

3 days remain

It was dangerous and weak of you to allow yourself to be comforted by the presence of a mere mortal, even the forest pixies told you this themselves. It was a huge mess in the mountains when Jade wasn’t here. You suddenly felt sad at the thought of the earlier events.

“Lady (Y/N)! Forgive our insolence but we are begging you to cut ties with that mortal.” the pixies bowed down, they didn’t dare to look into your eyes — fear evident in their expressions. The pixie who talked to you, Daphne, was the wisest of the bunch — she had stayed in the mountain for far longer than you have. It was safe to say that she was wiser than you but the one who holds the most power was you — the mountain deity. Daphne didn’t have a single hint of fear on her face as she held her head up high, her blue locks tucked behind her pointed ear as she stared at you.

Rage coursed through every part of your body as your harmless gaze at them suddenly turned hostile. The gravity suddenly weighed down on all of them, forcing them onto their knees except Daphne. Had it not been for her power she accumulated during the years she had lived, she would be most likely on her knees as well. “What did you just say, Daphne?” Your mind wasn’t in its best state due to the responsibilities you had to fulfill doubled, every living being in the mountain knew that and they could see how stressed you were through the mountain’s state. They noticed how the mountain would flourish a little whenever a certain teal haired mortal decided to visit you, they knew that he was a double edged sword to their deity. Though they knew that he was a potential threat to you, when they saw how happy you looked when you’re with him, they couldn’t help but let the both of you be.

“That mortal man named Jade- He’s not what you think he is.” Daphne calmly responded, she’d been suspicious of him from the very beginning. Those words made the raging flames in your heart burn stronger. You knew deep inside that she was right. You knew he held ill intent from the moment you first met yet you just- You just blindly ignored it like the fool you were. Yet you were reminded of the way he called you his beloved when he thought you were fast asleep, it was one of your sweetest memories with him. You can’t allow yourself to believe that the gentle fondness in his voice that night was all fake.

“He’s after your heart.”

Those words pierced you right through the heart, uncontrollable tears suddenly forming at the corner of your eyes. You wanted to tell them that he was a good man, that he loved you. Your gaze dropped down to the ground, unable to say anything. The mountain spoke for you. The flowers were withering at a lightning fast speed and so did the trees. The wild animals, some died and some were dying. The waters were drying up, and the ground was ready to collapse any time soon. You wanted to cry. Memories of last night came flooding back. The way he held you so close to him, when you listened to his heartbeat? It was all an act to get your heart?

Daphne wasn’t telling her the whole story, she just wanted Jade gone. She left out the part about Jade’s brother because she knew that being the lovesick fool you were — you would gladly give up your heart to him. She decided to fan the flames, “I… also saw a black haired woman in his house.” Daphne cringed at herself, she couldn’t believe what she was about to say. She glanced at your forlorn expression before continuing, “I think she might be his lover.” Everything seemed to stop at that very moment. You stopped wasting your tears, the thunder clapped. Daphne knew she messed up when she saw your expression — filled with burning rage.

“It’s for his dying brother.” A small pixie speaked out, receiving a harsh glare from Daphne when she did.

“Flora! You…!”

Everything stopped for a moment, you held a confused expression on your face as you signalled the small pixie named Flora to inch closer to you. You had hope that everything wasn’t a lie. There was nothing more you’ve ever wanted. You desperately wanted to believe that Jade wasn’t a cold blooded jerk that only approached you for your heart. “Tell me about his brother.” Your weak commanding tone made Flora’s heart shatter into pieces, she could tell how much pain you were in. Meekly, Flora started to explain to you the things she saw and heard when she went to follow Jade to the village; the black haired woman who was waiting for him at his home, the way how Jade choked her, the hateful expression on his face, the things they discussed over tea, and how Jade needed your heart to cure his poisoned twin brother. Flora didn’t leave out the fact that the woman with Jade was actually the one who poisoned his brother and how there were only a few days left before Jade goes back to his hometown.

You were oddly happy. Happy by the fact that everything might not turn out to be a lie and that the Jade you were so fond of was real. Though you were laughable, you were an idiot in love. Love…? Is this what they call this feeling? You loved Jade to the point that you forgave him. Even if he didn’t confess himself, you were willing to forgive him over and over again. You were a fool. The biggest fool in the whole damn mountain. Though if it was for Jade, the man who taught you love and the first man you ever loved, you didn’t mind being called a lovesick fool who ruined her own life.

2 days left

Jade was running out of time, he could feel his lungs having difficulty trying to breathe as he climbed the mountain. The potion was wearing off and he needed to get your heart and return to the sea now — but he didn’t want to leave, he didn’t want his time with you to end just yet. He wanted more time with you. However, his brother comes first before anything else, including you. He wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he just abandoned Floyd just like that — it would be unacceptable. Jade’s heart was in deep turmoil as he took a step after the other, why didn’t he.. want to leave you? He stopped in his tracks, his hand clutching his chest tightly as he felt like his heart was being squeezed. He didn’t want to admit it — he would never. If he did, he would never be able to go back to the sea. He continued walking towards your usual meeting area.

The frown on his face immediately lightened up into a small smile when he saw your figure fiddling with a bunch of leaves. As he went closer, he could notice that you were crying. He kneeled down next to you and asked, “…Are you okay?” gently, Jade tried to place his hand on your shoulder as a form of comfort. You flinched, moving back a bit from his touch and accidentally hitting your head against a tree branch in the process. Jade quickly tried to pull you close to him to inspect what might be a wound on your head. Yet you- you desperately tried to avoid any form of contact with him, your lips sealed shut as you walked away from him to sit on a stone stool. Jade’s heart broke a little.

You were still trying to compose yourself, tomorrow was your last day with him. You could already see him getting paler and weaker, his withdrawals were getting worse. You needed to think of something, anything. You were going to let him go today, he can have more time to go back to the sea. So he can live. Yet a huge part of you is screaming ‘Don’t!’ You felt weak and afraid, you didn’t know what choice to make but deep down you knew what was the right decision. Mustering up enough courage, your breath shaky, you spoke up. “Jade."

Jade had never heard you sound so helpless, your voice was shaking, eyes brimming with tears. What happened to you? It was a bit of a shock, for you to call out his voice with such a painfully sad expression on your face. He wanted to know how he could make you feel better, he was about to wrap his arms around you again but he quickly retracted his arm when he remembered how you reacted earlier. So he kept his distance. "Yes…?” He anticipated your next words, hands shaking — his body was slowly turning back. He needed water but he forced himself to stay still and endure the painful withdrawal that came with it.

You clasped your hands together, muttering a short chant under your breath as something in between your hands started to glow. A single shard of what seemed to be like a gemstone — a piece of jade. It was your heart, clearly influenced by your undeniable feelings for this man you met less than a month ago. Your jaded heart, it was what Jade was after all this time. Once it was in your hands, you clasped it tightly one more time before facing Jade. Tears blurring your vision, “Just… take it.”

Jade’s blood went cold, how…? Did you finally figure out his true intentions? Are you mad? Countless questions popped up inside his mind and his heart rate going faster by the second as he tried to make sense of the situation. Will he lie one more time? Or will he grab the golden opportunity in front of him? Before he could make a decision, he abandoned all sense of reason and pulled you into a passionate kiss. You were caught off guard, yet you kissed him back without any hint of hesitation at all. Your faces so close — your tears started to mix and you didn’t want to let go of him. Neither did he. After pulling away from your heated kiss, he finally managed to mutter out the words he was so afraid of saying.

“I love you.”

1 day remains

The cool breeze caressed Jade’s cheek as he ran through the forest, your heart grasped tightly in his hand as he desperately gasped for air. He needed to get back, now. The black haired woman from the other day was already ahead of him, looking back occasionally at Jade to make sure he wasn’t dead from the withdrawal symptoms. Memories of last night weighed so much in Jade’s mind, he felt like he was choking as he ran — his legs heavy as he started to sweat more than usual. Yet he didn’t stop running, you gave him this chance to let him and his brother live and he was not about to let it go to waste. He ran and ran and ran until he could finally see the sea.

Jade immediately jumped into the water, taking in the familiar feeling of being submerged in water once again — not once did his grip loosen around your heart. He allowed himself to breathe for a moment, letting the transformation take its place as his legs turned into a tail. He was slowly letting himself sink to the bottom of the sea, nobody could tell that he was crying from the wet environment of the sea.

One look at Jade and you can immediately tell that he was empty, void of emotion as he stared at your heart — placing a gentle kiss on it as he muttered under his breath, “Perhaps in another life, we could be lovers once again."

This is a story about how a foolish mountain deity sacrificed her heart, the very core of her being, to a mere mortal. A story about how cruel fate can be, and how it ruined them. The ending? The mountain deity fell into an eternal slumber after giving her heart up to her lover, unable to wake up after hundreds of years. The mortal man cured his brother and lived a somewhat happy life, longing to see his beloved deity once again on land and was killed after multiple attempts of going to land.

Perhaps things would’ve been different if they made different choices, perhaps they’d be happily living as a couple now but fate is not so nice, no? There is no happy ending for this disastrous pair, only ruin awaits them if they were to ever meet again in their next lives. They were both fools in the end.

"Eh~? Jade, Jade~! Did you hear about the transfer student coming today?” Floyd made grabby hands at Jade, excitement bubbling up from the pit of his stomach, will he find another person to squeeze? Jade let out a sigh, seemingly uninterested in the topic but decided to entertain Floyd. “Yes, it does make me feel a bit excited, fufu~”

The class silenced down so quickly, your footsteps towards the class stage could be heard.

“Hello everyone, my name is (Y/N) (L/N)! Nice to meet you all!"

Jade’s eyes gleamed with growing intrigue, why did you seem familiar to him in some way? He didn’t dwell on that for long though, he just decided that if fate decided to make you a part of his life, then so be it.

And it begins all over again.

Kny x Khr(katekyo hitman reborn)

long post ahead im sorry im on a friggin phone so bear with me and buckle up owo

Maybe ill write some crossovers hc but @lightofthedeep did amazing fanarts and wrote some really cool stuff: here

☆☆☆

i wanted to try to associate some kny characters to the dying will flames from reborn. Im only going with the primary one but some characters might have some characterestic of 2 tho I don't feel competant enough to go with the earth ones. My list is not perfect feel free to disagree and put your input. There will be spoilers from both of those fandom mostly for the kny manga. I also used those post:here, here, here and here to help with my decisions. I recommend you read them if you want to have a better insight or if you are curious.

☆☆☆

Tanjirou Kamado: 100% a sky flame user. He share some similarities with Tsuna. He does'nt seem to be the type willing to take the lead but he have the capacities to do so. His sense of smell goes well with the sky flames insight and the principal harmony characteristic of the sky flame. I wouls see him using the hyper intuition.

Nezuko kamado: I had to think really hard becsuse I am leaning toward sun and lighthning since both of those flames traits applies to her a lot but surprisingly lighthing. Her fighting is close to the sun users characteristics support both offensive and deffensive and healing but with the impulsivity of lighthning users. She goes straightfowards using he demon blood art technique thay can be destructive at the risk at turning completely to a demon. Also her ambition to protect is very strong.

Zenitsu Agatsuma: 100% lightning not because of his breath but because of his impulsivity. He shares some traits with Lambo who needs to be reassured constantly and they both do their best. Also lightning users are both on the defense and offence and can be pretty dammaging if we look at his first form.

Inosuke Hashibira: surprisingly a rain user but he does have some of the storms users characteristics. He is also a bit similar to Squalo. Inosuke tends to starts fight tho he is'nt the one to back down and at one point he questions his strengh in a similar way Yamamoto did. The principal trait I identify him with the rain flame is thay rain users tends to be supports, they slows down the ennemy or does a diversion the best exemple would be the fight against Douma.

Tamayo: a mist she have that mysterious vibe i get from her and her blood demon art techniques are closes to what mist users does they stands on non close combat.

Yushiro: a lighting when it comes to tamayo he will do anything to protect her and he also got the impulsive of mpst of the lightnings.

Sabito: sun, he his the one to tell Tanjirou to surpass his limit and his proeficient in his training and his abilities in a fight.

Makomo: Mist, the way she talk reminds me of mist user they are also observant and we can see that when she helps Tanjirou with his training.

Kanao Tsuyuri: A mist flame user I think she shares some traits with Chrome Dokuro like they both struggles to make their own desicions at the begining. Also Kanao having a good eyeshieght and the last form of the breath of the flower reminds me of the vongola gear lenses.

Genya Shinazugawa: Another lightning user, he fights from the side lines and got the impulsivity and ambition of becoming a pillar so Sanemi can accept him.

Oyakata sama: Sky, he has that calming aura that bring peace and harmony, his pillars respect him deeply. He easily accept the kamado sibling situation.

Mitsuri Kanroji: Sun she is active on her physical strenght, she is supportive of everyone and is'nt afraid to show it.

Iguro Obanai: A cloud flame , he kind of reminds me of Hibari, He does his thinga on his on way and does'nt really cares about others opinion.

Himejima gyomei: lightning, he his a strong support and he have a good defense. He isn't mich impulvise as others lightning users but he is loyal to oyakata.

Giyuu Tomioka: A rain user, he does'nt tends to goes in fights but is drawn to them due to his job. I can see some parallels with yamamoto when he questions himself about his position as a pillar.

Shinobu Koucho: surprisingly a storm flame user, their main caracteristic are desintegration and desctruction it can applies well to her poisons. Also storm users have strong desires and it can be self-destructive do I have to remind you wich drastic measures she had to take to kill douma.

Rengoku Kyoujurou: A sun user. Sun users are active in and out the battlefield, they rely to mostly strenght and/or speed. Rengoku is super passionate and supportive he used his skilled to protect a lot of people in the train arc.

Sanemi Shinazugawa: Storm, his breath of the wind is pretty destructive. Storms users tend to get in arguments easily. He did'nt hesitate to draws his own blood to prove a point.

Uzui Tengen: Sun he his present for those around him. He posses a great strenght and speed. Sound goes well with the activation characterestic of sun flames and put his energy in takong care of his wives.

Muichirou Tokito: mist what can i say he fits fits with most of mist flames users. we can see he is elusive and he can change after his encounter with tanjirou in the hidden village. He kind of reminds me of Fran.

Muzan Kibutsuji: Surprisingly a sky flame user. He would be able to use the flame of wrath xanxus uses since it's a combinaison of both sky and storm and he reminds me way too much of oresent xanxus. The harmony characteristic of the sky flame can be seen in Muzan. in a way he hates changes and he want to keep the hierarchy of the 12 moon the same for the longest decade.

Kokushibou: storm i mean did you saw him fight against three pillar he is in the center of that battle and have a good offense. Also the complex he had woith his brother illustrate some of his desire i dont really know how to word it.

Douma: If we take in consideration his lack of emotions and beliefs im not totally sure if he would have a peticullar flame since flame users needs to have a strong resolve to develop a flame. Tho if we set asides that he would surprisingly be a sky flame userbecause of his polyvalent style of combat. He understands how others act/react in battles pretty quickly and him being a cult leader he knows what to do to keep it at peace. He reminds me of Byakuran because of that goddamn fake smiles and the playful act.

Akaza: A sun type he focus a lot on getting stronger and his fighthing style is pretty similar to Ryohei's punches. He does'nt hesitate to speak his mind with enemies he finds strong.

Hantengu: cloud, he his cetain he is innocent despites what his actions and he multiply trough his differents personalities.

Gyokko: Cloud his skills of turning things to fish go along the propagation ascpect of the cloud users also he won't change his manner and artworrks usually stay the same.

Daki: lightning she got the impulsivity when it comes to her childish behavior she also take what she want and the uses of her sash is pretty convinient of the offence and defense.

Gyutaro: A cloud user his poison his dangerous and goes with the propagation aspect. he have a lot of pride and he won't change anytime soon.

Enmu tami: Well it's kind of obvious he is a mist user. Those users are eluvise and act from the sidelines and non in hands on hands. Enmu blood demon art is close to illusions. He would have a secondary cloud because Enmu is the type to calculate a precise plans and have some difficulty to adapt to changes.

Rui: storm He goes to great lenght to achieve his desire of feeling bonds with his fake familly. When he battles he does not hides his killing intents and his skills are destructive.

Kaigaku: a storm, he got a strong desire of being reconized by others even at the cost of becoming a demon himself.

[ crawl ] (Wes & Rui)

[ crawl ] for your muse to crawl into bed with mine . ／ @joltaria

the squeal of a rusted fan grew far beyond a typical annoyance, simple background noise which drowned out the talking next door in the thin walls between rooms. luxury was not expected, orre was not as advance as say unova for the impoverished citizens. there would be no chance to convince her companion to stay in her grandparents lodge with how much teasing one could take. on their journey rui had come to know sleeping within these rooms fairly well with what to expect overnight: unpleasant sleep, loud neighbors, etc.

it also meant sharing a room with a man which god forbid rui have male friends meant yet another step. she’d trust him with her life over and over again, continuously throughout travelling never once was there doubt that wes would ever harm her. uncomfortable described at its best grew to the ordinary, along with quirks that came with. rui felt guilt, oblivious until then that wes did not have the set grounded safety supposed to be given.

nightmares. even if he tried to hide the emotions wes’ aura spoke of the truth that could not get away from this budding psychic. this night was one of those finding themselves within the same duvet side by side, face to face, perhaps the most intimate both had ever been with another person. sure rui had dated immaturely yet nothing ever came close to be able to lay in the same bed while trusting the person not to hurt you. no, wes would never.

“ bad dreams? ” like milk and honey, soft and sweet, yet boisterous enough for only the person beside rui to hear. the neighbors were settling down enough as twilight hours rolled on the clock. gears and cranks rotated endlessly, a lulling sound that almost put rui to sleep. “ you don’t have to tell me. i’ll be here, i promise. ”

words were all rui could give, even with such powers to be able to take away his dreams was against her morals. so she would remain, smiling and mumbling until slumber took her.

HEADCANNON POST: The shadow

(I figured why not make an entire post about the shadow boy here, Talking about an in general look of him, His abilities. How he was made, Health issues and anything else i can think of, Obvious triggers will be tagged of course if there is any present, The first bit explains shadow pokemon and his creation, Scroll below if you want more specific headcannons. also readmore of course because LONG)

- The method of creation is unknown to the public and how shadow pokemon are made, All that is known is that the hearts of pokemon are (often) artificially closed to make them violent, Emotionless killing machines even willing to easily attack (And kill) humans if ordered. There has been some display of genetic testing and theories that some of or most of the pokemon were made with their hearts sealed (Such as entei, Raikou and suicuine) Rather then catching them in the wild.

- Shadow pokemon cannot evolve, Cannot learn regular moves, Cannot nickname them (They won’t respond to it) and many others. The only known way to obtain a shadow pokemon aside from being stolen from another trainer is to be given one. (Unless you were or are a cipher scientist then you can make your own), Shadow pokemon famously share no ID or OT until after purification. This is possibly to avoid people being able to track the poke via either option in databases

- For most shadow pokemon, The features are the same as their non-shadow counterparts, They are violent but the only true indicator of a shadow pokemon is a dark aura surrounding them, Only see-able through the use of a snag machine or by those who possess a extremely rare ability, Shadow sight. Able to see without a machine the dark aura of a shadow pokemon, There’s only one confirmation of a shadow sight carrier. Rui.

- As said, Most shadow pokemon look the same as their counterparts...except for one, XD001 or Shadow Lugia. The first unpurifiable shadow pokemon (unless you have access to a special machine in orra), XD001 is made through unknown means, Even more secretive then the first process that is also unknown to the public. But the most remarkable part of XD001 is the fact they weren’t made, They were captured and turned shadow through this unknown process.

- But as revealed by XD001, He was turned through various methods over the span of two years, He was kept in a dark. Heavily fortified area even deeper underneath then the labs already were, Chained to a wall and kept there, Access to food. To water, To even social interaction was kept on a reward basis, He was tortured often, Slowly breaking down the others mental barriers, Making him question his own sanity and retreat deeper into his own head. He only got positive attention from one man (Greevil), this solidified the other as his master, His ‘trainer’ despite never being actually caught by him in a pokeball. It took two years to gain this powerful ally for bede, He was stubborn, He was strong. He held out in terrible conditions far worse then any could expect, But even he hit a breaking point, He didn’t want to die, He dove deeper into his own head and sealed his emotions away. He forgot himself, His friends, His family, His name, His home. He was reborn some would say as something new. Something terrible.

- XD001 or X1 as he tries to use (To make it easier to say), Is powerful, Strong. Far stronger then he ever was as a none shadow, His nails are sharp, almost akin to claws (They are also black). His skin is tough and hard to cut, He can see in the dark and at long distances, He is fast and he’s ruthless, X1 cannot feel. X1 doesn’t truly need to rest, he is the killing machine cipher wanted, But there’s always draw backs. Always kinks in a plan.

- X1′s most prominent and most debilitating thing is that he suffers something akin to seizures, This is the result of a intensified Hyper/rush mode, His muscles spasm uncontrollably. His normally fine control on his powers often go out of control, he has trouble recognizing even those he might consider ‘friends’ and may attack Allies unprompted, This may be the only time you see X1 cry. Because along with incredibly amounts of pain, he can also feel and he feels intensely,

- Whatever is left of his old self fighting to resurface and it hurts. X1 can be brought out of these attacks by calling his name loud enough for him to hear or waiting for him to knock himself out (Bashing his head against the wall is the most common method). After these attacks, He no matter the method of stopping it usually passes out, For the next few days (Maybe even a week if it’s bad). X1 is vulnerable, Hurting and extremely weak. Even seemingly sickly.

- Attempts to purify X1 will result in these ‘seizures’ happening more and more often the closer he gets to purification.

- X1 is always soft spoken, He can’t yell due to damaged vocal chords, He can still sing but it’s difficult and his voice often cracks if he goes above a certain level.

#Under the seas (Headcannons)#The sea guardian (Bede)#The beast of shadows (Shadow verse)#torture mention tw #self harm mention tw #//also hi wishlist thread idea is someone X1 trusts helping him during one of these 'seizures' and then caring for him after

Wellness: A Villian!AU Coco Fic Part 6: The Party Lights

Psychologist Malcom Kevgil is called upon by the Riveras to help with Miguels post-mortem development. He quickly learns however that this is moreso a trauma rehabilitation, and an untangling of lies and 90 year old mysteries.

He’s a smart man, but will compassion and an analytical mind win out against Family ties?

.... I have not updated this since July i am SO SORRY AKSJFSDLKJF But i hope you like the chapter! Theres only like, 3 or 4 more parts i think so this is actually like, the home stretch, almost

This particular version of the AU has been written and developed by @im-fairly-whitty [Click here to read!]

Rating: Gen (subject to change depending) \ Warnings: mentions of alcohol and intoxication \ Word Count: 1265 // Masterpost Link

Sometimes, all you need to do to reorient yourself is to get some pent up emotion out

And Malcom’s favorite way to do that was to party

Now, to clarify, partying for Malcom does not mean “getting drunk until you’re seeing double”.

For Malcom, partying was dancing, drinking maybe one or two drinks, and socializing. Maybe even a little flirting if he was in the mood. One of his friends had called him a “wholesome” partier, and he couldn’t really argue with that.

Malcom’s go-to club was called “La Viva”. It was bright, colorful, and well kept by a man who had run an 80s night club in life. Perfect for Malcom, a man who would never really leave his beloved 80s behind. The outside was surprisingly benign- colored pink with a few rainbow banners and a green neon Sign reading LA VIVA in script, followed by a white lighted up lilly. Inside however, was where the party lived.

The dance floor in La Viva was the main attraction. Shining and sparkling, it reflected light from the various colored stagelamps that blinked and shuttered, alighting the room without ever having to turn on any of the (Emergency) overhead lamps. It was also absolutely massive, taking up more room than it probably should have. The bar was squeezed into a corner, with barely over a dozen seats and there were benches and tables strewn along the edges. But if you came to La Viva, you came to dance.

Which made local disaster Rodrigo Rivera a complete anomaly in this bright and flashy entertainment center.

But hey, he’d been invited.

And, while trying to get his boney butt to the bar, he was bumped into so hard they both ended up clattering to the floor

“Oh, sorry about- ay! Hey there!”

Rui got up and looked at who he’d bumped into - suddenly grinning

“Ayyyyy Malcom! Great to see you!” He managed to get up at the same time as his acquaintance.

“How are you, partying as always?” Malcom asked - no sense of judgement in his voice that Rui usually heard when asked that question. It was a note about the man he appreciated.

“As always” he answered with an almost sheepish grin. “Yourself?”

“Eh, needed to destress” The doctor shrugged.

“You, destress? I’ve never known you to be stressed, Doctor” Rui chuckled.

“We all have our stresses, Amigo” Malcom grinned “Care to dance?”

“As tempting an offer that is, I’ve got a date with a bottle of tequila”

“Not the entire thing, I hope”

“Eh, we’ll see how I feel”

Malcom didn’t seem that impressed, but shrugged “See you around then!”

Rui waved him off and went over to the bar, bemusedly being served a daiquiri as he watched the glowing dance floor.

But then, from the corner of his eye, he spotted a very, very familiar silhouette.

He froze in his stool, watching with shock as the tall, imposing figure started to gaze about the room.

Rui put his drink down, brow furrowed. Who the hell was Tomas here for?

He tried not to catch the burly skeleton’s eye, and watched as “Tomas” stared intently at the dance floor… more specifically at a particular, blonde haired dancer.

“.... Oh, compadre, what did you get yourself into…?” Rui muttered, taking his eyes away, a vague guilt to his aura.

Malcom didn’t get a lot of time on the dance floor, regretfully. Though Tomas had the decency to wait until the song was over to go out on the dance floor.

“Doctor Kevgil, your presence is required”

Malcom looked up at the man now towering over him, very quickly realizing that this wasn’t a good thing.

“... Que?” his brow furrowed “Where?”

“Private room. It will only take a few minutes”

He stared skeptically for a few moments

“Is this a “please come” or a “Come before I force you”

Tomas shrugged. Quite the answer.

Malcom sighed, and nodded to the taller man, following him off of the dance floor and over to one of the private party rooms - usually rented out for…. rather saucy events. Tomas opened the door for him, and he walked in the mostly dark room - save for some neon glaring from the ceiling, bathing the room in an almost chilled blue.

Sitting on one of the plush couched.. Was Imelda Rivera.

Malcoms brow furrowed slightly “Senora Rivera?”

“Senor Kevgil” She motioned “Please, sit”

He weighed his options… and sat. “How are you this evening?”

“.. I am very well, Senora” he answered “And yourself? This sort of place doesn’t seem your style?”

“Oh, it certainly isn’t, though this particular club has more… prestige than most” She pointed out, taking a glass and sipping “Drink?”

“Oh, no thank you. I rarely drink when I go out dancing” He shook his head

“Hm” she sniffed slightly, putting her drink down “We understand that Miguel called you about a week ago”

Malcom didn’t visibly react to the declaration “That he did. Very early in the morning at that”

“.. And what was it about?”

��I’m afraid I cannot divulge that information unless it is life or death, Senora” the doctor proclaimed “Doctor - patient confidentiality, and all that”

Her expression didn’t change “Hm, well then I will assume the worst and prepare things accordingly”

“The worst?” Malcom narrowed his stare.

“Well, you see, Doctor” She started, staring at her drink in vague disinterest “Our family has much to keep to ourselves. We’re very private, you see. And anything that Miguel told you, cannot be divulged to the public.”

“I had no intention of bringing anything he told me public”

“Let me finish” She snapped at him, something approximating a sneer on her face. Malcom almost wanted to comment about the quote of how “ugly hate makes the face”, but kept it to himself. That sort of joke would not be appreciated.

“Now, I understand that you carry yourself and your practice completely seriously, and with much pride” She sipped her drink “So i will state this plainly for your benefit.”

Malcom squared his shoulders

“Should you attempt anything, we will sue you for malpractice”

She stared him straight in the eyes “... Excuse me?”

“... I said, we are suing you for malpractice. It’s very easy to get a competent lawyer who can come up with a case. All we have to do is imply that your promise of progress was not met. That he has .. how do you say, “regressed”?”

Malcom wished he had a lip to bite. It took everything within him to not react. To keep his head level.

“... Are you threatening me, Senora Rivera?”

“I would never. It is just a warning.” She pushed her liquor away “You have no family, no lover, nothing but your practice. Would be a shame if you lost everything, no?”

“That is quite the warning, Senora” He lifted his head slightly.

“We Riveras never do anything halfway, Doctor”

He took in a breath, and stood “I understand your… concern, Senora” he started “But allow me to give a warning of my own”

He found her glare almost daring.

“If you truly want for Miguel’s happiness, you will have to end up doing things you don’t want to do. Acknowledge things you would rather sweep under the rug” Malcom leveled “One day, it will all some to a head-” he turned “and you will refuse to admit that you saw it coming. Have a good evening, Senora, Buenas Noches”

And he left, returning to the bright lights of the dance floor.

He wasn’t followed.

🖊 + Valen 👀

A fankid I haven’t really talked about but is a pretty prominent character is Valen, the oldest child of Wes and Rui, the protagonists of Pokemon: Colosseum. I hesitated to post much about him since it took a while to work on how to implement certain aspects of his character. Since I haven’t completely solidified how exactly the “Big Bad” functions in the main storyline, I’m not completely set on what Valen’s main ability is, other than, like Rui, he has the ability to see the corrupting effect this enemy causes. But the main reason I hadn’t posted about him is because it took me a long time to decide if I actually wanted to go a specific direction with his character. Ultimately, I did decide to just run with it since it’s a character type I’ve always like. Specifically, Valen has multiple personalities, essentially being two people in one body.

I have a huge weakness for games like Persona 4: Ultimax 2 and Clock Tower 2, games where one of the characters has a second personality that is homicidally protective of the original personality. How the original personality reacts to this can go either way, I just like the idea of the second personality basing their actions and motivations around the original. I debated for a while which fankid this type of dynamic would even be possible with, and decided Valen was the most likely candidate, due to specific circumstances he goes through in his childhood.

Around the time he’s eleven, he gets abducted by the remnants of Cipher, who are hoping to not only get revenge on his parents by hurting him, but also hope he will have inherited some form of his mother’s ability and will be useful to them through this. Among a number of things he’s forced to go through, he ends up experimented on by one of the lead scientists who, aware of Rui’s ability to see the corrupted aura of shadow Pokemon, is curious if it’s possible to bring out that same ability in her son. They end up preforming multiple experiments on him, one of the more significant ones being a sort of surgery on his right eye. Allegedly, it’s to enhance whatever “sight” abilities he inherently possesses, but they also end up inserting what is essentially a meteorite shard into his skull. It does successfully enhance his “sight” in that eye, but as an unintended effect, the shard has otherworldly, latent energy that ends up creating a second entity of sorts.

Initially, this entity is little more than a cold, unfeeling presence who can forcibly take over Valen body, having no specific goals or motivations. It operates on a pain/pleasure stimulus system, thus things that cause pain are bad, things that feel nice are good. Initially the researcher uses this to get this entity to go along with some of the experiments, seeing this as a good way to possibly control Valen. But during this, Cipher doesn’t actually stop their abuse of Valen, which leads to the entity bonding more strongly with Valen over anyone else in the group. Since they share a body, even if the other is in control, they still experience what the other is going through (they can shut down the connection and let the non-active one “blank out,” but in general, they’re both always aware).

It becomes apparent to the entity that this group is going to end up ultimately killing them, since they show little regard for what they put Valen through. Regardless of what he does, they still hurt him, often leaving his body torn and bloodied for no good reason other than because they want to. The entity ends up taking Valen’s place for the worst of the abuse, since while Valen struggles or tenses up, he can do whatever it takes to minimize the damage to their body. It’s through this that the two come to an understanding, Valen no longer seeing the voice in his head as an enemy and instead viewing him as a tentative ally.

Deciding that something must be done, the entity ultimately ends up killing most of the people in the base, deeming it the only way to adequately protect Valen. They escape the base they’re being held hostage, eventually being picked up by law enforcement in the nearby area after the first person who stumbles across them calls them in. While the entity wants to keep fighting, at Valen’s insistence, they let themselves be taken in and brought to the closest hospital, which is where Valen is finally reunited with his family after being missing for roughly two months.

#I'll be honest this has been in my drafts for a year thus the beginning is written like that #also Bates and Alyssa from Clock Tower 2 are bigger inspirations than Sho and Minazuki #but both are big inspirations for Valen so that should give you an idea of how I view things playing out with Valen #Valen #asks #one day Other!Valen will have a name #but that is not today

Tsukipara Event Drama Translation Summary: The Search for a Secret Item ~The Sparkle of Happiness~

This is the Christmas themed event that features all the Tsukipro units: Six Gravity, Procellarum, SolidS, Quell, SOARA, and Growth.

[This summary is much longer than the last one so it is under the cut~]

1-1

It's a few days before Christmas and the leaders are gathered for meeting. They are talking about how each unit spends the end of the year. They all agree that work is important this time of year. Shun says he would ether sit around eating Haagen daz and watching over Hajime. Hajime responds that Shun needs to perform too. Hajime then says there are a lot of Christmas programs. He is thankful for that but everyone will be busy. Sora and Kou say they will go on a bunch I programs. Shiki and Shu say they've had so much work lately that they will depend on the staff to schedule them some free time. Hajime mentions that everyone should have a good schedule that will help them survive Christmas and Christmas Eve. Sora asks what they will be doing on Christmas day. SOARA will be on a radio show. Growth will be doing a photoshoot and will meet with SOARA after. Solids will be doing some newspaper article interviews and meeting at the bar to talk later, like usual. Quell has a photoshoot and Shu wants to take Ichiru and Issei to see the lights but he hasn't done much planning yet. Shun says they should meet up in the dorm. Yoru and Aoi are preparing for a party again this year, making things like cakes and chicken. They all agree to meet at the dorms afterward

1-2

It's Christmas Eve and Aoi and Yoru were preparing roast chicken. They decide to make the cake and hor d'eourves next. Aoi asks if he can make the cake. Yoru says yes and makes the hor d'eourves. Aoi mentions that Hajime said he would help cook when he gets home from working. Yoru wonders how the decorations in the room are coming along. You and Arata appear saying it is going good and shows them a wreath. Aoi says it is cute and mentions how Arata is good at that kind of handicraft stuff. You came up with the design for it and he says they can't have a lame party when the others are coming. Kai comes in saying it is lively and the decorations are great. Kai had gone to a mountain for a program and brought a fir tree back. Arata says Kai is "wild". They say the juniors are decorating it. The juniors are all having fun decorating the tree and looking forward to the party. Hajime and Haru come back from working to help out. Hajime hears a sound and Nakai-san comes running into the room. Haru mentions that Nakai is a miniature reindeer so he is small but he helps Santa pass out presents to kids very year. Kakeru says that Nakai tries to build up stamina by running around in the dorms before Christmas. Nakai starts running into walls or crashing into things so Kakeru goes to check on him. Koi says he's kind of acting like he's running because he's scared of something. Rui says Nakai looks like he's trying to tell them something and looks flustered and worried. Shun comes in and says it’s bad. Kakeru asks if he can understand him. Shun says of course~. He says Nakai lost something called the "small sparkle of happiness". Apparently, it is a crystal containing the happy emotions and smiles of children. It is because of this sparkle that Santa can give out presents. The juniors realize that no children will get presents without it and it's already Christmas Eve. Shun says that Nakai said he was practicing his flying when a dog barked at him and scared him, causing him to lose it and it scattered. So that means the fragments are scattered in the city. The juniors want to help but don't know how. Nakai says that idols can make everyone smile, so gathering them all together would make their "Santa index" strong and they would be able to find the fragments. The juniors have no idea what he's talking about but they are excited and call the others. They go out to look before night comes.

1-3

SolidS is done working and decide to buy presents before the party but see Kakeru and Koi outside. They explain what happened and what they're doing. Tsubasa says the whole story sounds like a fantasy. Solids decide to help out. They groups split up to look. SolidS is joking around that Rikka seems like he would have a very high "Santa index" but Rikka thinks Dai would be higher. Tsubasa says Shiki's would be low and they get into a small argument over who behaves worse than the other. Rikka breaks it up and they continue searching. Dai finds something shiny in front of a toy store and they all joke about how he has the highest "Santa index" since he found the first one. Tsubasa says it's fitting because Dai is kind and has a pure heart. Dai shrugs it off saying it was just found by chance and they continue searching again.

Quell finished working early so they decide to go see the lights together with the twins. Issei says it's already lit up where they are but Eichi says it much brighter at the other place. The twins are excited and Issei wants to take lots of pictures and they start going there. Shu talks to Eichi secretly about whether the presents for Icchi and Isse are ready, and Eichi says they are all ready. Ichiru yells that something sparkly just suddenly went into his body. Eichi yells to Shu that the twins are sparkling like they are in a spotlight. They ask if the twins are okay, and they respond that it actually feels good. Shiki calls Shu on the phone and tells them about the small sparkles of happiness and they figured out that the twins had them. Shu and Eichi agree that the twins are purer than they are so that's why they got them. The twins decide to help out even though they wouldn't be able to see the lights that day, but they would still be able to see it another day. The twins want to help the children of the town get presents so they will help find the fragments. Shu and Eichi tell the twins how great they are, then they are suddenly engulfed in the small sparkles of happiness too. They joke that they are brighter than the city lights, so they are more like Christmas lights and it is pretty. They go to look for more fragments.

SOARA is on a radio show called "school of idol" and it is ending. Each member of SOARA says their goodbyes while wrapping things up and then do a surprise acoustic performance of “wonder wand”. The members are singing the song and Sora notices something outside the studio. Further into the song Sora says that the area around the audience is sparkling. Sora then says that he doesn't understand the sparkling but he and the audience get more excited. The song ends and SOARA leaves. They all mention that they saw the audience sparkling, before the conversation is interrupted because Sora receives a message from Koi. They are all told the same story and agree that the sparkles they saw were the same sparkles. Nozomu gets upset because he thought that it was his charismatic aura that was finally showing. Since they don't have any other plans before the party, SOARA decide to help search for fragments too.

Growth return home after their photoshoot ended early. Kouki wants make some simple hor d'eourves to bring along to the Christmas party so they aren't empty handed. Everyone else wants to help but Mamoru is banned from coming into the kitchen by Ryota and Ken so he just gets to taste test. Mamoru starts singing a random song about being the taste tester and watching over the others cooking, when everyone else comments that the melody is really catchy. Kou's phone rings and Ken answers for him. Sora is on the other end and tells them the same story. While Ken is on the phone, the others give Mamoru some fried shrimp to taste, which he says is delicious, before he suddenly starts sparkling. Mamoru says it’s warm and feels good. Ken says it must be the happiness sparkles and everyone is confused, so he then tells everyone about the phone call from Sora. Ryo is shocked by how Kou understands the story so easily. Ken mentions that strange things happens around Gravi and Procella all the time. They are almost done cooking so they decide to help out when they finish too.

Procellarum has gathered a lot of fragments so far but Shun tells them that Nakai says they are still missing some. It's already late and the sun has set but they promise Nakai that they will find the rest before he leaves by looking everywhere they haven't yet. Growth and SOARA show up and give them the fragments they had found too. Nakai says that he needs just a few more. SolidS and Quell show up and give their fragments. Dai and the twins think Nakai is cute because he's small. Nakai says they have them all and the small sparkles of happiness fly up into the sky. Mamoru and Shiki say this would be good inspiration to write a song. Hajime tells Nakai to be careful before he flies off into the sky. Everyone is surprised that Nakai can actually fly. Rui is worried that he won't make it in time but Iku and Kakeru say he definitely will, because he is fast and has been practicing hard for this day. It starts snowing and everyone is happy that it will be a white Christmas and this must be their reward for finding the fragments. Since all the members of Tsukino Productions are gathered, they decide to start the Christmas party.

1-8

It is the next morning and everyone spent the night in the Gravi and Procella’s tsukino dorms. They partied and talked a lot since they don't usually get to spend time with all the units together. The juniors are about to wake the guests up when something surprises them. Hajime, Shu, and Shiki come in because Koi yelled out. Kouki and Sora come in saying there is a mountain of presents along with sweets and food. Shun says it must be Christmas presents from Santa. Quell come in and are just as surprised by the mountain of presents. Eichi wonders if it is okay for the adults like him to accept the presents. Shun says Santa must view them as precious children too. Tsubasa mentions that there are also presents for the big children, saying there is alcohol and snacks. Tsubasa got some wine he really wanted to try. Dai is glad that there are also non-alcoholic cocktails, and Shu agrees. The rest of SOARA and growth wake up, also surprised. Ken mentions a news story and the others explain that the children of the town were all happy to receive presents. A small flying reindeer was also seen at night. They are happy that Nakai made it in time and then realize that it is already Christmas Day, since in Japan they usually celebrate more on Christmas Eve. They all decide to continue the Christmas party. It ends with everyone saying Merry Christmas!!

[This event drama was a little repetitive and VERY cheesy but it was still super cute >w< SolidS getting alcohol as gifts made me laugh xD]

[I also really wanted to see all the Christmas outfits in the drama but they didn't show them~ > <]

[and a Merry Christmas to all my followers!~ <3]

!!! : write a headcanon about our muses (For fun, give us a headcanon with Rui and Latias!)

Lazy Roleplayer Symbol Meme: !!! : write a headcanon about our muses || Accepting!

Rui and Latias would probably get along decently well! Both being able to sense emotions. Of course, Rui might make Latias a bit nervous since Latias wouldn’t be able to disguise herself or hide once Rui knew her aura. Invisible, a different form, doesn’t matter to aura, she’d be able to see Latias no matter what. Not like she’d use this for any nefarious purposes, it might just be nerve-wracking for a Legendary used to disappearing when she wants.

I imagine that getting past that they could be fast friends, easily sensing if there is anything wrong and able to help.

Shekarashika! - Chapter 2.5 (181102)

7 o' clock pm…

Hakata Private Academy Dormitory…

Haruto was walking to the front of the 3 Dormitories when Natsu came out of the Class H Dormitory's veranda in the 2nd floor.

"Hey! Kodama, was it? It seems they only prepared for 1 person here. Try asking if you were assigned to a different dormitory." Natsu then went back inside the room.

Haruto was confused as to why he said that. He then walked towards the door to the Class H dormitory when he heard a voice from the opposite direction: The Student Council Dormitory, which is surprisingly a part of the Class KIV Dormitory. He turned around and saw Motomura Aoi and Miyawaki Sakura in the door way of the said building.

"Your room is here. The Principal was quite wary of class goats like -cough-Rui-cough- and you so he thought that if class goats stayed in the same building as Class KIV, they'd excel a bit." Aoi said as a matter-of-factly.

Sakura walked to his direction. "I'll help you with that." She tried carrying Haruto's luggage but couldn't due to her being pale and looking almost anemic and weak.

Haruto was weirded out by her attempts to carry the luggages but sighed and did it himself. "I'll do it myshelf."

Aoi tried looking inside their dormitory but couldn't find anyone who could help. "Where is Moriyasu-kun when you need him?"

"Probably in his room, looking at some soon-to-be-confiscated articles." Sakura was still attempting to lift a luggage when Natsu jumped off from the 2nd floor veranda and carried the luggage himself.

"I'll do it. Geez. You should've brought a guy with you." Natsu started walking to the direction of Class KIV dormitory.

"Thank you." Sakura then showed them the way to Haruto's room which was in the third floor of the building.

Haruto's Room…

Sakura then opened the door. "I'm really sorry I couldn't help. I'm not really good at carrying things."

Natsu dropped the luggages beside the wooden desk in the room. The room was surprisingly modern despite the Victorian era architecture theme that the exterior of the building shows. The bed frame was of metal, the sheets were comfortable to the touch and the cushion was so soft you'd be tempted to sleep immediately. The windows open outwards and the desk was made of wood and has compartments where one could store their study materials. The bathroom was a standard bathroom for dormitories. It has a shower area and even has a bathtub, separated by a shower curtain. The toilet bowl has a bidet installed with a music timer to hide one's hardships on their business inside the toilet.

"This would be your room. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to knock on our door. Aoi and I are in the room directly in front of yours and Moriyasu and Tomonaga's room is the room to the right of ours. Any questions so far, Kodama-san?" Sakura smiled to both of the boys.

"N-nothing. Thank you very mush!" Haruto bowed his head, thanking the girl in front of him. He then raised his head and bowed in front of Natsu. "Thank you for helping as well, Matsuoka-shan!"

"For the guy who acted rashly on his first day, you sure are polite. Hope we get along." Natsu then patted his shoulder. He then left the room. While he was walking, he stopped for a second in front of the room to the right of Sakura and Aoi's room, but continued walking and returned to his dormitory.

"Well then, I'll be leaving you now." Sakura then walked to the door and closed it on her way out. She continued to her room and locked the door as well.

Aoi and Sakura's room…

Aoi was watching an animated show on TV when Sakura went in. "STARRRRRR FINGERRRRRRRR!!!" Aoi shouted as she rose from her seat.

"You should be studying instead of doing that, don't you think?" Sakura crossed her arms while glaring at Aoi who seemed to be too much into the show.

"Aish, who cares? Jotaro matters more than studying." Aoi dismissed Sakura's warning. "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAAAAA!" She tried imitating how a certain animated spirit in the animated show punches the enemy in front of Sakura. Sakura sighed and only deflected Aoi's playful punches with precision.

"You already rewatched that show for so many times now. And it only ended this year. Aren't you getting tired of it?" Sakura rolled her eyes as Aoi enthusiastically continued pretending to be the main character.

"Ihh. I really love the show. Though my favorite is really Dio." Aoitan stopped her playful punches. "ZA WARUDO! Toki wo tomare!" As Sakura was going to speak, Aoi then muttered, "Toki wa ugoki hajimeta."

Sakura then sighed. "I really hope your Chuuni phase would come to an end soon. I'm running out of patience."

"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

"I'm going to sleep." Sakura rolled her eyes and went to her bed.

"You're not doing your homework?" Aoi tilted her head slightly.

"I finished it before Kodama-san arrived in the dorms." Sakura answered without facing Aoi.

"Okie then. I'll just finish this episode before going to sleep." Aoi turned around and went back to her activity that is not even a little bit related to studying.

July 19, 2015…

The next day…

5 o' clock in the morning…

Aoi and Sakura's room…

Sakura was still sleeping when Aoi started waking her up. "Sakura, wakey-wakey now." She puffed her cheeks and continued pushing the sleepyhead who was hugging her pillow on the bed to wake up.

"Just… 5… more… minutes…" That was all Sakura could manage to mutter.

"Geez. There's no helping it then." Aoi inhaled then exhaled. "ZA WARUDO!" She then looked at Sakura. "The time has stopped." She then walked around Sakura, annoying her. "1 second has passed." Several seconds later, she was still revolving around Sakura's bed, trying to get her to wake up. "Road roller da!" Aoi slammed a pillow to her back.

Sakura was getting annoyed now but all she could say was "Ora… ora… ora…" while lying on her bed.

"Time is up! There is no escape! Muda muda muda muda!"

"Ora… ora… ora… ora…" Sakura was still not moving from her bed, eyes closed.

The two exchanged these awkward conversations for a few seconds. Aoi was totally trying to get Sakura to be active so she would stop clinging to her bed.

"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Aoi was repeatedly poking Sakura's sides now. "I'll smash you to the ground!"

"Ora…" Sakura was unmovable.

"Nine seconds has passed. I've done it. It's over. Star Platinum has been defeated by The World. Immortality… Eternal life… and Stand Power! Fuhahaha… Here lies proof that none shall pass the mighty Aoi! Pathetic humans! I will rule you all! Bow before my knowledge and might! Ten seconds have passed! My ability to stop time has reached 10 seconds! Now then, I shall find Sakura's lifeless body and drink her blood! If she has any left, that is!" Seemingly caught in her anime dialogue, Aoi noticed that Sakura was not on the bed anymore. She felt an enormous scary aura behind her. "Uh… What's this? My body is… slowing down…" She then feigned being unable to move. "N-no… It is not slowing down… I-I cannot move! I-Impossible! M-my body is frozen in place…"

"Aoi. It's been eleven seconds. I guess that's your limit." Sakura was glaring at Aoi's soul from behind.

"NYANYIII?!" Aoi answered, shocked.

"I stopped time at the 9 second mark. That's how I escaped. Yare yare daze." She then pointed her finger at Aoi. Aoi was looking nervous now. "And now… I'll use my last second to defeat you for good!" Sakura was now in sync with Aoi in this nonsensical reproduction of the final scene of the show Aoi was watching last night.

"S-sakura! I-Impossible! You stopped time?" Aoi was still pretending to be frozen in place. "S-somehow… you did it right as I reached my nine second limit…"

Sakura then walked a step near Aoi. "How does it feel, Aoi?" Sakura looked at Aoi's back. "Having someone come at you from behind while you can't move a muscle…" She then breathe a little. "In a way, it's like if you were holding your breath underwater, and just as you came up for air…" She then clutched at Aoi's left shoulder. "… Someone suddenly grabbed you, dragging you back into the depths below. Sound familiar?" Sakura then tilted her head slightly forward to her left. "But I can't say I feel sorry for you." She then poked the left side of Aoi's body. "Toki wa ugoki hajimeta--"

Before she could finish her line, the door in the bathroom opened, revealing a now disgusted Moriyasu. "How long are you guys going to do that? We're going to be late, you know?"

"Ihh! And we were in such a good part too!" Aoi stopped pretending to be frozen in time and walked to the bathroom. "I'll use the bathtub. I woke up first~" She smiled innocently as she pushed Moriyasu out of the bathroom and locked the door.

Moriyasu then stared at Sakura. "I never knew you watched that show with Aoi."

Sakura sighed. "She has been rewatching that at least 5 times now. It'd be a miracle if I didn't memorize the lines and movements when I've seen it several times already. And besides, it was a good way to take control of myself in the morning. And probably enhance my acting skills as well." Sakura then started making her bed. "More importantly…" she added.

"Hmm?"

Moriyasu was eating his bread with butter when Sakura asked, "How did you get inside our room?" Moriyasu started feeling nervous. "I thought I locked the door when I went in last night." Sakura wasn't looking at Moriyasu but he could feel the terror in her aura. It's as if Sakura was a dragon and he was a mere rat.

"I-I…" Moriyasu was trying to think of an excuse that would not relate to 'picking a lock'.

"You picked our lock, didn't you?" Sakura was still not looking at him, her voice still emotionless as she made her bed.

"I… I didn't! It was open!" Moriyasu was lying. Obviously lying.

Sakura then looked at him, still smiling. "Oh really?" She finished making her bed and was now slowly getting close to Moriyasu.

Moriyasu then tried running out of the room but Sakura clutched to his left hand's wrist.

"You tried getting these, huh?" Sakura immediately took out the magazines hidden in Moriyasu's shirt.

"I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!" Moriyasu's voice could be heard in the whole dormitory.

End of the First period…

Hakata Private Academy Class 2-A…

Fuchigami-sensei started packing her things to her bag when she remembered something. "Oh yeah, Student Council members, the Principal wants to meet you after the First Period. Please come with me."

Sakura, Aoi, Moriyasu, Chihiro, and Rui stood up. Sakura then looked for another person and sighed. "Yuizou's still absent?" She looked at Moriyasu.

Moriyasu then gestured his hands, telling Sakura that he is, as always.

Sakura then frowned slightly. "We really need to find a replacement for him." She then went beside Fuchigami. "Anyway, let's go."

Fuchigami then led the group to the Principal's Office. The doors were huge and made of ebony, at least 10 foot long by 4 foot long, its handles were plated with gold. It was decorated with the Principal's seal on the middle of both doors.

Fuchigami pressed the button on the intercom and waited for a response which came quickly in the said intercom. "The doors are open." A voice from the intercom said. Fuchigami then pushed the door and let the students in before she herself went inside.

Principal's Office…

The room was spacious and had a huge rack containing books on each side. There were 2 black colored couches facing each other several feet away from the Principal's desk with a small table in between of them.

The Principal's swivel chair that wasn't facing the desk suddenly turned around, revealing a Middle-aged woman with her medium length hair let down. The woman was wearing a white blouse, covered by a carnation pink colored blazer with its sleeves rolled up. Although hidden from view, she was wearing a pair of pink trousers, its color was lighter than the blazer. The woman, who was now unhidden from view, was crossing her fingers while slouching on her seat.

Sakura sighed. "Sashihara-san, what is this all about now? I believe the last time you needed help, we passed a series of examinations for Accounting Majors." She knew that it was going to be related to the school once more.

"S-sakura-chan! Let me look cool just a little!" She pouted then fixed her posture. "A-anyway, the French investors of the school are coming next week! I need help on making them impressed!" Sashihara, or as some students call her, 'Sasshi', really looked troubled.

"For additional investments, I presume?" Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Yeah... You know I can't do these without showing them how good the school had become." Sasshi pouted once more.

"I guess we could entertain them." Sakura then took out a small notebook and a pen from her pocket. "So what's the plan?"

"We could show them how smart the students are!" Sasshi rose excitedly from her seat while saying these words. "… I guess." Then sat down back again looking depressed.

Aoi then stepped forward. "Say no more, Sasshi. We shall make you proud!" Aoi was burning with determination. Probably.

"A-anyway, Fuchigami-san will teach you guys French to converse with the investors." Sasshi said as she started typing on her laptop.

The group left the room with Fuchigami leaving them for a while to get her teaching materials in the Faculty Office.

"Oh god. Why French?" Rui was sulking in the corner of the corridor. "It would've been easier if it were English…"

Moriyasu then looked at Sakura. "Rui's got a point. The buildings are Victorian style so why French?" Moriyasu raised an eyebrow.

Sakura was too drained after the sudden revelation that they would be studying another series of advanced lessons again. "Ugh, I don't even know. Maybe the French wanted Harry Potter-esque thing to happen here? I mean… We've been doing shit to save the Headmaster's ass like Harry. The only difference is that we don't make trouble…" She then saw Aoi who was making fun of Rui. "Save for one of us." Sakura added.

Moriyasu gasped. "Sakura, language!"

Sakura sighed. She was too tired to function like she cared. "We hath been doing some shi-"

"Doing what?" Fuchigami returned with several thick handouts and some books as well.

Sakura then smiled uncomfortably. "N-nothing! Ahahaha…"

Fuchigami was weirded out but dismissed it altogether. "Anyway, follow me. You're all going to be excused from your afternoon classes so don't worry. I'll also ask the teachers to give you the handouts for lessons you'll be missing." She treaded her path quickly but slow enough so the students could follow.

Several minutes of walking later, they arrived at an unused classroom. They then saw a student wearing his necktie loosely, sitting on the teacher's desk. "I've been waiting for a while now." the student grinned confidently.

"Matsuoka-san?" Sakura wondered as to why Natsu was waiting in the classroom.

Fuchigami then dropped the handouts on the teacher's table and pushed Natsu away from it. "He would be joining us in the lesson. He has studied several languages to aid in his work as a model. I hope you guys get along." She then started handing their handouts.

While the lesson was ongoing, Sakura was steadily improving in the language. However, she also noticed an unprecedented rivalry in between her Student Council's Auditor who was known as a Jack of All Trades and the new student who joined them in the lessons.

Chihiron then sat beside Sakura. "Both of them are getting weird. What's wrong with them?" She whispered to Sakura.

"I don't really know what's happening. I just want to get this over with." Sakura didn't even bat an eye at Chihiron. "You should too." she added.

"I had French classes back as a child so these are no brainer for me." Chihiron smiled shyly as she looked at Aoi who was staring blankly at the front page of the handout.

Sakura then closed her eyes and remembered what happened to their review months ago. She then stood up and sat beside Aoi. "You told Sasshi you'd make her proud." She then smiled gently at her. "Let's do our best."

Aoi then sobbed a little. "Sakura…!"

Sakura then frantically gave Aoi her handkerchief. "Geez. Imagine impressing the investors with your newfound skill."

Fuchigami then stopped writing on the board and looked at Aoi. "That's right, Motomura-san." She then went in front of the Teacher's desk and managed to get a lollipop from one of the drawers. "You'll get a candy if you manage to pass." she added.

"What am I? Five?" Aoi stared at Fuchigami.

Natsu then looked at Aoi after hearing her scowl at the teacher. 'Ah… Even after all this time, she’s still so cute!' He then slowly touched his chest. 'Why… Why did she have to be so cute?!'

Moriyasu then noticed Natsu's behavior. 'D-does he… Have the hots for Aoi? Like how? And why?' He irked at the idea and went back to studying.

Several hours later…

8 o'clock pm…

Student Council Dormitory…

Haruto's Room…

Haruto was checking his notes when his phone rang. He checked it to see a message from a certain 'AC Umemoto'. The message was as follows:

From: AC Umemoto

Subj: She Will Strike Again

We received a new card

just now. It says she will

strike on the 25th, 2

hours before the day

ends.

Any clues over there?

Her target is the famed

Sword in the Stone.

—END OF MESSAGE—

"W-what!?" Haruto was shocked. He was carefully observing the students in his class and was sure that nobody has had enough time to send the said card to the Police, let alone produce one. "H-how did it--? And under my noshe too?!" He then smirked. "Well, I guess I underestimated my enemies." He then revealed a notebook with the word "Phantom Thief" written on it in his table's drawer. "The sword in the stone? How did it even end up in Japan?” he was deep in his thoughts.

July 25, 2015…

Unknown Location…

6 o'clock pm…

A woman who was wearing a customized tuxedo received a message from her informant. Her face was covered with a masquerade mask, sans the feather. She was wearing a black shirt inside a white tailcoat. She donned a bob cut for a hairstyle and was wearing a really skimpy white colored short shorts which revealed her soft skin. Her shirt was adorned by a ribbon tied around the collar, and a decorative crest distinct to her adorned the left breast pocket of her coat. The two-pronged tails of her coat reached her the middle-most part of her legs.

"What if the client was trying to trap us?" A male wearing a dark blue ninja gi asked. The only difference he had from the normal full body gi was his exposed well-toned arms. He was also equipped with 2 kodachis hanging from his back, with a chokuto suspended horizontally on his back thanks to the ties that bind the sheathes of the 2 kodachis to his back. His face was covered by a Tengu mask, albeit with a shorter nose for ease of mobility.

"He wasn't." the woman replied almost instantaneously.

"How do you say so?" the man was not as trusting as she was.

"I researched about the matter. The massacre, the stealing, and the sale in the black market, it's all true. And his family has been deprived of its former glory and were forced to work in poverty until that man entered the Military." she then revealed the client's card in her breastpocket. "And this card? Is a metal card, entirely covered with silver. Meaning, he only has the sword left to restore his honor." She then returned it to her breastpocket. "How is Hephaestus doing?" she asked, looking at the man this time.

"Hephaestus has successfully infiltrated the lineup of personnel. She also studied all the required information to fool the security." the man answered.

"I see. We still have 4 hours before show time, Fuujin." She then sat down and crossed her legs on the Red and Black colored checkered seat a few steps away from her.

Fuujin sighed. "That's my chair, Azrael." he then stared at the woman who was now sweating profusely.

PRE-DV2: Inside the Family of Four

“Jo? Mommy says it’s dinner time!” A six-year-old Michael called up the stairs to their room with a grin.

No response.

“Jo?” Called Michael again, taking time to go up the stairwell on all fours. “Mommy says it’s dinner time!”

And still, no response.

Michael worked up the stairs and into their collective attic room, finally back on two feet. Jo was sitting on their bed, petting a baby Arrow.

“‘M not Jo anymore.” Said Jo, looking anywhere but at Michael.

“You aren’t?” Said Michael, confused, but still smiling.

“No. Jo was a them.” Not-Jo shook their head. “Jovi is a she.”

Michael’s face broke into a bigger grin. “Nice to meet you, Jovi! I’m Michael!” And Michael gave a little bow.

Jovi stopped petting Arrow and looked to Michael in confusion.

“Jovi already knows big sibling Michael?”

And Michael twirled around once in a teal dress and gave a little curtsy. “But your big sibling has never met Princess Jovi before.”

And Jovi smiled in wonder.

“Can Jovi really be a Princess?”

Michael nodded and went to take Jovi’s right hand.

“All the Princess’ wear pink overalls nowadays.”

And Jovi’s grin grew.

“You promise?”

Michael laughed, tugging Jovi’s hand along.

“I promise! Now come on, let’s go get Mommy to give our Princess ice cream for dinner!”

The two made their way down the stairs, a small Eevee following close behind.

Rui had just finished balancing the monthly budget for the 5th time that week - since her children apparently couldn’t keep out of trouble - when she heard a little voice call from the darkness of the kitchen next door to her small study. She tensed, recalling the day she met her husband, and forced herself still. There wasn’t a Makuhita or other trainer around for miles.

“Mommy?”

She was married and living in the middle of the desert, far away from any remnants of Cipher or Snagem.

“Mommy?”

She had two beautiful children and a husband that went out each day selling his homemade weapons for food money.

“Mommy?”

It wasn’t really living, but life on the run would never really be living. And she was okay with that. She knew that when they got married.

“Mommy, are you still awake?”

It was Michael, her oldest.

She let out a shaky sigh. “Yes, Rui’s awake. Come on in.”

And Michael waddled in wearing their Piplup pajama’s and went right over to Rui’s lap.

She gave Michael a soft grin as she picked them up and set them in her lap.

“You’re going to be so tall when you’re grown, Michael. I don’t know how much longer I can do this for you.”

Michael latched onto Rui like a baby sloth.

“I’ll never grow up.” Said Michael’s quiet voice.

“Never?” Said Rui, just as quietly back.

“Never!” Chirped Michael. “Growing up means leaving and I’ll never leave you or Jovi.”

Rui let out a small chuckle. “Or your Daddy Wes, right?”

“Or Daddy Wes!” Michael let out a louder chirp this time, hugging Rui a little tighter. “Even if he’s never around to tell his stories anymore!”

And Rui moved to pet Michael’s head, and sighed.

“Your Daddy’s just busy working so we have enough to eat, sweetheart.”

And Michael pulled back from the hug to look at Rui.

“But you work all the time, and you’re at home with us!”

Michael’s looking at Rui, really looking at her. Into her eyes and her being.

“Doesn’t he love us enough to stay?”

Michael asked the question that’s been on her mind for months now.

“Why won’t Dad stay here with us, too?”

She’d be unnerved if she hadn’t spent her whole life doing the same thing. Reading people the same way, and asking the right questions at the wrong times.

“I handle the financials, Michael. That doesn’t require any legwork.”

At this, Michael pouts.

“But financials are money and if Daddy’s also holding money, then you can both stay with us!”

Michael’s looking at her aura right now, she can tell. Michael’s focused on her heart and staring intently. Even unknowingly, her oldest is learning to read people.

“Sometimes, grown-ups have to leave.” She says, setting Michael down.

She wishes she could stay to guide her children.

“Which is why I’ll never grow up!” Says Michael, assured in their decision. Rui gives her child a sad smile.

She wishes they could pay rent.

“And if I don’t grow up, then you won’t either!” Says Michael, a little louder, holding her right hand with both of theirs. Rui’s smile doesn’t reach her eyes and her eyes start to water.

She wishes that they wouldn’t have to leave Jovi and Michael next month.

“Tools don’t age, after all!” Says Michael, finally at an indoor voice, pleading to get Rui to respond.

And she broke down crying, pulling Michael into a hug.

“It’s ok, Mommy,” says Michael, a little louder than before but starting to shake too, “you don’t have to be sad!” Said Michael starting to cry too. “I know Michael was traded away to Gonzap to pay off your debts, and Michael doesn’t mind!”

Rui laid a kiss on the top of Michael’s head, and gave him a squeeze, but the tears kept flowing.

“Michael will be the most useful for you and Daddy and Jovi, as long as he’s here! He promises!”

And Rui let the tears run out. She moved out of her skinny office chair to kneel on the ground. She took the time to wipe Michael’s tears away and leaned in to give him a kiss on the forehead. And another. And another. She peppered her son’s face with kisses.

“Michael, you’re my brave little hero!” She said between two wet cheek kisses.

“You’ll be strong for us, won’t you?” She said, before giving him a kiss on the nose. “You’ll always do your best for your family?”

“Of course, Mommy! I love you more than anything!”

And Michael squirmed under his mother’s kisses, moving to give her a tight hug instead.

“It’s not that big a deal, Mommy.” He said, embarrassed.

And Rui gave him one last kiss and picked him up like a sack of potatoes.

“It is a big deal, my treasured toolbox.” She said as Michael giggled. “Just last year I had two beautiful children,” she shook her son the tiniest bit and more giggles rang out in the darkness of the house. “And now I have a son and daughter who love themselves.”

Michael giggled all the way up the stairs, until Rui tucked him in.

It was July 1st, and Wes was home.

Three days before Wes and Rui had to leave Arizona.

Three days before they had to give their children away to some colleagues for safe-keeping.

Three days before Wes’ contract ran out.

Rui had taken Jovi to get some last minute shots and vaccinations in the nearest town of Phenac City - which was too bright and busy for Michael, as he usually went straight to the Kaminko lab - and Wes was home alone.

With Michael.

His firstborn. Son.

Just a month ago, two years after his daughter Jovi officially became Jovi, Michael followed suit.

Michael truly became Michael.

And Wes was proud.

He was proud of his children for figuring out who they were, despite being born the same way he was. He fought with doctors to let them decide who they wanted to be. He forced the hospital to leave his children alone. To not have them undergo surgery the way he had. He wouldn’t let them be forced to grow up as something they weren’t.

And he was proud of them.

They were growing up much better than he did.

They were growing up with two parents that actually cared.

They were growing up relatively stable.

And, because of that, in spite of that, he didn’t know how to connect with them.

More specifically, with Michael.

Jovi had always been a little adult, easy-to-talk to and matter-of-fact in her needs.

And Wes knew she would go far. He knew he could trust her strong will to stay away from the family business. He could trust her not to fall for promises of family, because her charm would forge one wherever she went.

But Michael?

Wes couldn’t tell what Michael was thinking.

Michael wouldn’t say if anything was wrong. Michael would bottle up his sorrow and let it out on himself through acting out. Michael would take apart weapons and take notes all over books and always looked like he was guilty of something. Michael wouldn’t talk unless spoken to. Michael wouldn’t leave the house unless ordered to. Michael would ask to be in the same room as Wes, to hold Wes’ hand, to give him a goodnight hug every single time, and act surprised when Wes said yes. Like he didn’t believe he was worthy of Wes’ time. Michael would still if Wes gave him a hug without several verbal warnings beforehand. Michael would flinch for no reason if Wes so much as waved in his direction.

But Michael wouldn’t do that around Rui or Jovi.

If Jovi was around, he’d play with her outside. If he wanted to give Rui a hug, he would go ahead and do it. If Jovi pushed him playfully, he’d give his sister a firm pat and continue playing. If Rui raised her voice to call for him from another room, he would call back.

It was like Michael was afraid of Wes.

And there Michael was, stomach audibly growling, standing right outside the kitchen.

Holding his contract. Wes’ contract. Michael’s contract. Gonzap’s contract. Their collective fates, in his nine-year-old hands.

“Michael, do you have something to ask?”

Did Michael know ripping it up would change nothing? That Gonzap had several copies somewhere in his offices?

“Yes! Um, well!” Said Michael, startled into saluting.

It made Wes sad to see Michael emulate his old habits.

“Dad, Can I ask you a question?” Said Michael, looking over the papers intently.

It was always Dad, now.

“If you put those papers back where you found them.”

Michael scurried off to put the papers back in Rui’s study.

He hadn’t been Daddy Wes to Michael since Michael’s 6th birthday, when Wes first introduced Michael and Arrow.

“Dad, may I ask you a question now?”

In retrospect, letting Lassiter and Aureolus chase Michael around the yard for 3 hours probably had negative long-lasting effects.

“You just asked me two, my treasured technicolor multitool. What else do you need?”

Michael stood in the doorway to the kitchen and hugged himself tight.

“I don’t need anything! I’m sorry! If you let me, I’ll go away now!”

Wes frowned softly and set his butterknife down. He turned to look at his son and motioned him in.

“I’m making banana-sandwiches if you’re interested?”

Michael’s face lit up in joy and he bounded over to the counter, previous hesitancy all but forgotten. He started jumping in place to try and see up on the counter.

“Those are my favorite!” Wes knew that. He made them on purpose. “Can you cut them like stars?” Already done. “And we feed the extra to Arrow?”

Wes let himself pull on his heroic smirk and winked at his son, making his right hand into a finger gun.

“Only if you don’t tell Arrow’s dads.”

Michael blinked a few times, which made Wes want to laugh, and shot two finger guns right back at Wes, positively beaming.

“They won’t hear anything from me!”

Michael ran out of the room in a buzz, presumably to go get Arrow.

Less than a minute later he came back to give Wes a quick hug.

“Arrow says thanks.”

And Wes slowly put a hand on Michael’s shoulder, smiling.

“Does he now?”

Michael looked up at Wes and bit his lip.

“He also says his daddies want tuna sandwiches!”

And Wes sighed, because of course Michael went to ask if they wanted lunch too.

“I’ll get right on it. Why don’t you go ask Lassiter to have Aureolus tell you basic battle tactics again?”

Michael let go of the hug and stuck his tongue out at Wes.

“Battles are mean and they hurt Pokemon! I’m gonna’ ask about the time you met Entei instead!”

And Michael ran out of the room.

Wes smiled, and went back to preparing lunch.

It was July 4th, 9:23 pm.

They were going to someplace called the “HQ Coordination Laboratory”.

It was near Grandpa Kaminko’s study, 47 minutes away by vehicle, 2 hours and 47 minutes by foot.

It was 2 hours and 35 minutes away from Grandma Belluh’s Agate town.

It was 4 hours away from home.

5 hours away from home.

Nearly 6, now.

Mommy Rui and Daddy Wes said they were all going on vacation.

A family vacation, just them.

They wouldn’t be back home for a while.

Michael knew “a while” meant “forever”.

When Michael woke up that morning to the sound of fireworks and explosives in the passenger seat of Wes’ motorbike, he knew there was no home to go back to.

When he pretended to sleep the night before, and heard Wes pack up all their clothes and favorite toys, but forgot Arrow’s favorite squishy ball, he knew time was running out. He pocketed Arrow’s squishy ball himself, and triple-checked that he had Arrow’s Pokeball when he watched Wes carry Jovi to the car.

He would never see his room again.

When Jovi woke up and Rui gave her her old necklace as a late birthday present, Michael knew their parents were leaving for good.

Jovi went back to sleep, and had been in the passenger car for hours, but Michael - sitting next to her - could not.

Rui tried talking to him, as they got closer.

Mommy Rui tried telling him he’d be safe this way.

That he could be a real person and go to school.

That he would be able to watch TV and play outside and eat all sorts of food he never had the chance to try before.

That he would make all kinds of new friends and family on his own.

That he and Jovi would be happier at the lab.

But Michael stayed silent.

He listened, because he know his mother needed her last goodbyes.

When she cried, as they were going nearly 10 miles faster than the speed limit across the outer parts of Orre county, he listened.

And Wes listened too.

All Michael could tell, really, was that Daddy Wes owed Uncle Gonzap a lot of money, and they were going away to make more of it. Also the police didn’t like them, for some reason.

Michael and Jovi would live with Professor Krane and his business partner Lily until they could safely come back.

But at feeling Wes slow down to the speed limit as they entered the forests nearing the lab, and as Michael saw his father’s pained frown, he knew it would never really be safe for them to return.

As they slowed to a stop a mile away from the lab and Michael helped move two child-sized rolling suitcases out onto the ground, he knew it was goodbye.

As Rui woke Jovi up for a final hug, and they all exchanged “I love you’s”, Michael felt himself change.

He was no longer Michael, son of Wes and Rui Westley.

He was now Michael, only living family of Jovi.

As the vehicle sped off into the distance, and Jovi suggested they take a nap because she was still sleepy, he felt something in him leave with them. He felt Jovi’s sadness covered by a joke as she started walking back the way they came, still disoriented from the long ride.

And he felt like maybe he could be heroic for Jovi, at least until she turned 9, too.

Michael put on his first fake smile for Jovi that night, and started walking towards the lab.

“Hey, Jovi. I bet the lab has water beds!”

And Jovi lit up. She turned around, and picked up pace.

“You think so? What’re we waiting for?!”

Michael let his grin give way to something sly as he broke into a run, trailing the suitcase behind him.

“Nothing at all! Let’s go!”

And Jovi ran after him, yelling.

“That’s not true! The fireworks are about to start!”
