#to how brutal izana can and will be :)

It wasn't that surprising that cowards would utilize dirty tactics to try and land a blow on Tenjiku. But the key was that if you were going to use them, which Izana had no problem with, make sure they'd land. It seemed someone hadn't done their homework to ensure it would, or what the consequences for failure would be.

" You're going to regret that. " Izana grips the wrist of the would-be attacker who made a lunge at Emma, an eerie smile resting on his face. His grip tightens as he slowly applies more and more pressure, wisteria eyes unblinking as he forces them down and keeps adding pressure even as they begin to scream in pain. " This isn't anything compared to what you're going to experience. Or your friends. None of you are going to ever forget about this for any walking moment of your lives. " Izana's eyes turn down towards the emblem on the jacket and then back towards them. " Good enough. "

If they felt any momentary relief, it was quickly crushed when Izana brutally punched downwards as he struck them in the face with enough force to break bones in both his wrist and his face. Izana lets go only to bring his foot down on their head once, twice, three times as blood stains the sidewalk. If he's conscious or not, it doesn't particularly matter to Izana. Nor do the broken bones or the spectacle it creates. Really, he's being quite nice for now. For now. Because of course he's going to do far, far worse to him and his little group. It's been a bit since Tenjiku or the S62 Generation has really had some people to break down to the point of destruction.

" You okay, Emma? " Izana turns his attention from the heap of flesh and broken bones to look towards Emma, calm as if it was a perfectly normal scene. Which is was. For him. " I can call Kakucho if you want. He can walk you home. " He trusted Kakucho to be able to protect her. " Or if you want to wait a moment, we can continue. " After he sicks his followers on this guys entire group and grounds them all into the dust. If they survived or not wasn't his concern.

I have seen to many of your good/final timeline HCs that I personally view as canon.

Can you do one for the Tenjiku members or the Black Dragons ¿how they adapt to Toman? (In the final timeline)

Yeah! Here are a few for the black dragons and tenjiku settling in/ being in toman!

Black dragons

The 10th gen of the black dragons are a lot more respectable in this timeline, they aren't a toman level of good and still do some shady stuff but they're not as brutal as before.

Inui had the least trouble fitting in, or rather he didn't care if he did or not, as long as Takemichi was happy.

Koko was in shock over no one actually sorting or being in charge of tomans finances. "You spend HOW MUCH on Taiyaki!??"

Taiju embarass Hakkai a bit by being so loud (Hakkai doesn't realise he's loud too).

It took days of Koko and Inui arguing over the vice captain position for Taiju to finally snap and say no ones having it. 

After they both joined toman, Taiju went on a trip to an aquarium with Izana. Takemichi coincidentally spotted him and thought he was seeing things at first.

Inui and Draken still bond over bikes

The black dragons (mainly Taiju with Koko and Inui helping) try to help Hakkai get over his fear of talking to girls (Senju as the only girl in toman gets dragged into this plan)

All of toman now call Inui and Koko the dog and cat duo

Taiju Insists Mitsuya make his toman uniform (and initially complains of it being too tight again)

Tenjiku

There was a lot more uncertainty about them joining compared to the black dragons

Kakucho was happy to finally be in a gang with his childhood friend.

Ran was very dramatic about not being allowed his baton anymore.

They were all a bit confused about Mucho and Sanzu apparently knowing each other so they followed them on one of their coffee shop trips to spy on them. 

The Haitani brother's asked Takemichi if they could wear a different colour uniform. Takemichi was so intimidated/ unsure of the teasing way they were acting that he just agreed to make them go away. 

Izana low-key scares a few of the toman members, he kinda likes it too.

Kakucho is the most responsible member and is frequently the only one on time for the meetings.

Mochi and Pah like to arm wrestle each other

Kazutora had beef with Shion when he first joined because of their history. Baji also didn't like that he was here (because of this Chifuyu also said he didn't like him). Eventually it was resolved though.

Everyone thought the S62 hated Mikey until they beat up a guy who dared to make fun of Mikey. (Izana has a i can make fun of him but you can't kinda relationship towards Mikey).

Anime-only adaptations I really enjoyed

I really loved how the anime staff pour their love in the flashback and in the parts where the characters are described the most (bc, in the end, TR is a story driven by characters, not plot), so yeah, kudos for the kokonui, kakuiza and Kisaki centric parts that were not in thee manga and that were added as a ponderate choice by the anime team.

In chronological order

When Takemichi calls him with his nickname "Kaku-chan", Kakucho hesitates before killing him, while in the manga (ch.134) when Izana orders him to kill Takemichi, he just does it with no mercy. The result is the same, but in the anime we saw Kakucho's struggle

The parts about Koko and Inupi, their past and their fight (2x21 or ep.8 of the 2nd coure of S2). It is a very emotional and crude part also in the manga, but in the anime, thanks to some changes/adaptations/voice acting and music, manages to be even more emotional and impactful, while remaining faithful to the manga. That's how an adaptation should be done

First of all, the kiss

while, story-wise, it's clear the kiss is not fanservice, but an important moment to understand their past and their complicated relationship, no one can deny the anime kiss looks even more passionate than the manga version

Among the people that approached Koko in the manga for money reasons, only Izana and Taiju were mentioned (ch.159), meanwhile in the manga, besides them, were added also Madarame Shion - an anime only addition-

and the Haitani Brothers, as a nod to Wakui's birthday art for Koko

I already talked about it here and partially here but, in short, I like how the anime underlines even better that Koko considers himself unredeemable and incapable of detach his own identity to make money illegally

and honestly, peak adaptation: the transition to younger Koko to Tenjiku!Koko saying the same line, to make us understand that Koko still feels incredibly guilty about the past...

... and the fact both Inupi and Koko cry in this scene, a moment that there wasn't in the manga and that was an incredibly beautiful and touching addition

but while manga!Koko -ch.159- at this point is just resigned and "colder" in his decision to stay with Tenjiku, just like also manga!Inupi already calmed down, anime!Inupi is both fed up with the situation but willing to makes things right and very determined..

while anime!Koko is destroyed, he doesn't even stand up when Inupi punches him (I already talked about it here)

the little addition of Kakucho in the flashback when Shinichiro goes to say hi to Izana to take him out with him. Izana's favourite people "interacting" was nice (too bad the animation quality was a little meh in this episode, but I understand we can't have peak quality all the time)

Kakucho with Izana when he finds again Karen by chance and she tells his she's not his biological mother and he's not related to any of the Sano. It the manga Izana was alone, adding Kakucho was nice because the situation is still terrible, Izana sees his whole world collapsing on himself, but at least he has Kakucho

last one, Kisaki's "I wanted to be like you" that humanizes him a little. In the manga his death was quick and brutal. We can understands, reading the manga, he had this superiority/inferiority complex towards Takemichi, but the anime explains it more clearly (I talked a bit about it here )

Maybe there's something else that was an anime-only adaptation that made sense, even improved the already existent narration, but I probably don't remember it. These are the ones that imho, are the most important both for the characters and the narration.

I love how Liden Film followed faithfully the story but added "more heart" to it, that's what a good adaptation should do

DON'T THEY KNOW? ͏͏─ izana kuro.

# allusions to canon-typical violence / abuse / general yandere themes.

"you know, i was half-expecting you to start scaling the walls."

it comes in form of a misplaced joke, and soon after izana's face falls, when you fail to laugh.

a part of you wishes he'd keep that awful smile on his face, if only to soothe your adrenaline-fried nerves. but izana has rarely been so merciful as to care for your feelings. in fact, you could probably count his instances of kindness on a single hand.

it's not in izana's blood to care if you're truly smiling, though you can tell it makes him happy when you try; granting him an immediate satisfaction seems to lull the mindless greed engraved deep in his soul, if only for that moment.

but now-- you're barely breathing. in fact, your lungs ache for replenishment, but you hardly notice, when you're absolutely paralysed by fear.

your eyes have grown wide as saucers, body going rigid. your fingers tremble in spite, and stuttering for mercy, tears well up in your eyes.

you're sobbing now, but you're not thinking enough to stop it; not when you're desperately trying to save yourself from the brutal beating that is creeping up on you.

you've seen izana handle men twice yours-- his size like meager mutts. his bare hands slam down like a judge's gavel, ruling their grisly fate.

izana rarely blinks, then. his face slackens entirely, as if he's carrying out some mundane routine. a bloodied, sickening routine, but nothing out of the regular, nonetheless.

seldom does izana get excited, particularly frigid when it comes to chasing you down; and while you've never experienced the outmost extent of his wrath before, you know to brace yourself for what's coming.

up until now you've counted yourself lucky. but right, right at this point in time you curse your parents for ever bringing you into existence.

you curse yourself for ever running into izana in the first place, you curse the fact that you had let him frighten you into staying by his side.

"shut up," izana cuts you off. he tilts his head like a puppy, dainty eyelashes fluttering. you close your own eyes, drawing up your demise.

he approaches you, the dull thud of his boots quaking the cement flooring underneath you. no matter how hard you momentarily blind yourself, there's still that flash of carmine flooding your vision.

izana is slow to cup your cheek. he's so gentle with it that you barely feel his warm palm, rocking you against the cold.

he hums a little. "why did you run? i hate having to catch up with you."

you fear you'll offend izana, if you don't meet his eye. meagerly, you crack an eye open. "'m sorry. i'm so sorry, izana."

izana gathers a tiny smile. you will be sorry.

he's unblinking, an indicator of a sort of demure troubling. it's nothing, however, like you've seen with the closest of his companions, where he still carried out, maimed them mercilessly.

in pitying stead of that, izana graces you with a kiss. he sighs, thumb rubbing slow circles into the frost-bitten apple of your cheek.

"i know you are, angel."

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.

SPOILED (MADARAME SHION X READER)

WARNING: Hints of sex, use of bad language, dirty talk (kinda?)

A/N: There will be a spicy part 2 for this one, i am actually collabing with my bestie and so we havent finished the spicy in part 2 so please bear with usss!! LOVE YALL THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT! 🥰

-------------------------------------------------------

Wattpad has those girls who get spoiled by their man, whether it be sexually or material things, well you're a part of that, except its not wattpad. Your man, Shion Madarame, was very popular around your town since he was a part of Tenjiku's big four (only the most brutal gangsters ever known) and despite his very brutal and vile attitude, he was soft with you. Always giving you those gentle and sweet touches, along with cuddles and kisses. And this day was no exception to that.

Shion just came home from his gang meeting. Blood stained tank top and cargo pants, and regardless how FILTHY he looked, he still stirred such lustful arousal in you. The way the blood and sweat drips from his body, was enough to get your panties wet.

"Another fight again, shion?"

He sits down as you ask worried but the arousal and lustfulness was obvious in your voice, a few minutes of silence and he replies, his voice deep and almost out of breath.

"Can't help it, baby.. A lot of guys just get on Izana's nerves.. can't break his rules now, can i?"

He pulls your waist closer to him, and gives your waist the most sloppy yet sweet kisses as he looks up at you, Shion liked to leave a lot of marks on parts of you that you can't hide, just to let every guy know that you belonged to someone. And not just someone, Shion Madarame, himself.

"Mmh.. baby.. I lost energy back there, but damn i'd have energy again if you let me fuck you, hm?"

And damn, you sure knew you were fucked because you really were abt to get fucked, lucky for you, he really needed a good night

Part 2 will be released soon!! Please waittt!! Thankyouuu🥰

Question!! ^^ i’m a new follower of yours,how would Izana and Mikey (monsters) react to reader being comforted by another man? Curious!!

Hello, hello hi welcome! I hope you have a wonderful time here!

Tw: for violence, vouyerism, murder, toxic relationships

Izana wouldn't say anything at first. He'll find it amusing, watching the reader get comforted by another man. He might even make the comment of how cute they are. Days later, the man starts seeing random threats, being followed by other tenjiku members and then gets kidnapped.

When he comes to, the scene he sees is disgusting. Izana has reader on her hands and knees sucking him off, sobbing in humiliation. "Oh you're awake?" Izana would ask, a sinister smile. "I see you like my girl a lot. Oh, what sob story did she tell you this time? That I'm a bad person? Yet she's sucking me off like a slut. Women, am I right?"

If the man tries to turn around, Izana is quick to point a gun towards reader and threatens to kill her, making the guy watch as Izana assaults her. Yeah, you can imagine what happens next.

Mikey is straight up murderous. Why is he wiping readers tears away? Touching reader and telling her it would be alright? The man even had the audacity to tell you that Mikey is toxic and you should leave him? How dare he? There and then he's brutal, beating up the guy within an inch of his life. "Look at you, telling my girl lies and trying to turn her against me. Can you even fight back? You claim to care about her, then fight back or you'll die."

If reader tries to beg for mercy, one look from Mikey would silence her. "You, I'll deal with you later."

╰┈➤: ̗̀➛ "IS IT JUST me or has Izana been acting odd lately?"

Kakucho spoke up, breaking the silence between him and the Brutal Generation, as well as the executives of Tenjiku. He was unable to contain his curiosity much longer. He pondered in his mind all the time; whether the others noticed this subtle change in Izana.

"Izana has always been unhinged, Kakucho. Since when he's not acting odd?" Ran casually remarked, finding his question strange. "You know him personally much more than we do. Surely, we can't give you any answers even if you demand one from us." Rindou added.

"What's so odd about Izana anyway?" Shion asked, his brain still trying its hardest to discern the meaning behind Kakucho's inquiry. "If you are talking about how he has been hanging out a lot on his own, I personally don't think it's strange." Kanji stated whilst he munched on a mochi.

"You know him. He doesn't like it when we question his actions." Muto advised, patting the younger male's broad back to reassure him. "I know, but...ahh, there is just something off about him. I can't get it out of my mind unless I figure it out." Kakucho argued, persistently staying true to himself.

"My gut feeling is too strong for me to ignore it... Alright, that's it. I'm going out to check on Izana. He went out to the city again today. You guys wanna tag along?" Kakucho offered invitation to the rest of the executives. Shion, Kanji and Muto were unsure. They didn't want to dig their own grave.

But the two Haitanis thought otherwise. They were thrilled by the idea of spying on Izana during his casual stroll in the city. They might discover something unbelievable.

"We are coming along~" Ran agreed to Kakucho's invitation, his hand resting on top of Rindou's head. Rindou wore a wide grin on his face, excited by the adventure they were about to experience. It could be a death wish but who cares! Life wasn't fun without taking risk.

Seeing two of them agreeing to this maniacal, suicide-borderline plan, Kanji, Shion and Muto sighed defeatedly and eventually agreed to Kakucho as well. Delighted by their cooperation, he smiled at the older males happily.

"Alright, let's go now!"

Meanwhile, in the city, Izana was strolling in a clothing store with you, browsing the various clothes and shoes sold in the store in complete silence. There was no way he would want to buy them as most the stuffs he wanted was overpriced.

His amethyst-hued eyes suddenly landed on a pair of shoes. He stared long at the said shoes, as if he was attracted to them. He was unaware of how long he was fixing his gaze at the footwear. Noticing his behavior, you smiled at him and picked up the shoes he secretly wished to have.

Shocked by your action, Izana looked at you in disbelief. "No, not again." He opposed your idea. He knew you too well; you were planning to buy the shoes for him. But you shook your head and brought the shoes along as you and your boyfriend made your way to the store clerk.

"Yes, again. I told you, just buy anything you want. I can pay for the goods."

"You're always spoiling me."

"And I love doing that. Especially spoiling you."

Izan smiled softly at you, his one and only girlfriend. To be honest, he didn't know you were from a wealthy family until he went on a first date with you. It was astonishing to figure out this interesting fact about you.

Izana reached out his hand and held your hand warmly. "That's why I love you so much, mahal." He whispered seductively into your ear, tightening his hold on your hand. Your cheeks heated up upon hearing his attractive voice. God, you always had a thing for voice. Hearing a sexy voice like his made you weak in the knees. "I love you too, sweetie."

You paid for the shoes much to Izana's happiness. He never, never even once asked you to spoil him with your wealth. You willingly did it for him and he appreciated it so much. Even though he couldn't buy any expensive gifts like you did, you adored every single thing he did or give to you as presents.

You weren't a picky and judgmental girl.

"So, where should we go now?"

"Mahal, I'm hungry. Can we stop by KFC?"

"Sure! And you better keep your wallet in your pocket. Today's date is on me."

"But..."

"No buts. I invited you to the date so I have the rights to spoil you."

Izana chuckled while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. You were persistently stubborn when it came to this topic. It was no surprise to know you hated being the spoiled one during date. Only on rare occasion, you would let him pay during the date.

"If you say so, mahal." Izana leaned in to kiss your forehead. Your face went ablaze, delighted by his soft kiss. That was right, this was what you wanted. Receiving rewards in the form of physical touched everytime you spoiled him. Izana was the best when it came to showing love through physical touch.

Hooking your arm with his, you and Izana walked out of the clothing store as he flirted with you, effortlessly causing warmth to spread across your cheeks.

"After this...wanna come over to my place to chill, mahal?" Izana whispered flirtatiously into your ear. You could practically hear the smirk in his teasing voice as his arm found its way to snake around your waist. "I love to reward you for all the treats and spoiling...you deserve so much from me."

"Eager much, aren't you? I'm always up for it. I love to be spoiled by you later."

"Thought you hated being coddled by me, mahal."

"Your "spoiling" is different and that's why I love it."

The warmth in your cheeks kept rising up. You could never stop flirting with Izana when he started making his move. He would continue whispering sweet nothings until you overheated.

Unbeknownst to the couple, a group of curious delinquents were spying on them with the youngest having his jaw dropped to the ground in disbelief.

"I-Izana...since when did he— has a partner?" Kakucho gasped, his mouth agape wide open. Shion, Muto, Kanji, Ran and Rindou were left speechless as well. Izana, never once, showed the slightest bit interest in relationship considering that man hated "troublesome burden". Hence, seeing him all sweet with a girl was a miracle. This fact might take a while to be embedded into their brain.

"Let's go follow them. I need to confirm again—"

Much to Kakucho's misfortune, Rindou unintentionally slipped and brutally pushed Kakucho out of their hiding spot. Due to panic, all of them left the alleyway to help Kakucho and Rindou to get back on their feet.

Of course, this led to their downfall.

Thanked to the chaos, Izana and you were drawn to take a look. The Tenjiku leader was displeased to find his executives all hoarded together. He figured out right away that they were spying on him.

"You know them?" You asked, curious of his sudden change of facial expression. You were still linking your arm with his. Izana's face scrunched with irritation, aggravated by their rude interruption. You knew Izana was involved in gang activities but you had never found out that he was the leader of his own gang.

"What the fuck are you guys doing here?!" Izana yelled at his exeuctives. His roaring voice sent shivers down to their spine. He untangled his arm from your hold, dangerously walking toward the other elite delinquents of his gang. Shion was on the verge of tears, fearing for his life and safety.

"S-Shit, run! RUN! FUCKING RUN!!" Shion, being the most coward among all of them, made a run from Izana's wrath. Izana ignored the others as they were already frozen on their spots so he began chasing after Shion, catching up with his speed easily.

"Wait, you fucker! I'm gonna fucking kill you for interrupting my date!!"

The small chaos somehow turned into a big calamity as Shion, Kakucho, Ran, Rindou, Muto and Kanji now needed to face Izana's rage.

While you just stood there all confused but enjoyed the evening drama nonetheless.

[just-sp-in-inginthevoid]

Shinichiro lost his father, and his mother was at the hospital, and he decided to cope by fighting people (way stronger than him) and starting a gang which later became the greatest gang in Japan and -

This man, this teenager, this boy, who until his 13 birthday had an as normal life as it can be, who had a father, a mother, grandparents, who even had a little brother (!!!), who had a typical childhood with an as banal as him childhood friend, with an as normal life as him – lost that. (and his normal childhood friend lost it as well, wow !)

He lost that and decided to become a delinquent, which, even if it brought him joy ("I am very proud to have spent my all my teenhood with you guys!"), led him to 1. encourage his baby brother (who he sees as his son) to do the same, even with all the pain it (can) involves 2. lose that baby brother, which, during all those years, he had heavily put the responsibility of is mental well-being on. His baby brother who is one of the few things he had left of this normal life he once had (and that his baby brother can't remember having).

Mikey has a tragic life - maybe he wouldn't have turn to delinquency if Shinichiro didn't. The same way perhaps Izana wouldn't have but Shinichiro showed him the way.

Shinichiro has a tragic life - even without the original timeline. The so called 'normal life' he had was teared away from him, suddenly, brutally. And he turned to violence.

Shinichiro's teenhood starts off with his father's sudden, unpredictable death, and it ends with the disbandment of the 1st generation of Black Dragon (which could've happened a few months after his mother's death - giving another perspective on the whole thing). But Shinichiro left Black Dragon so that Mikey could have it, and could become greater than him.

Without Mikey, Shinichiro wouldn't have left Black Dragon.

And with Mikey dead, he almost goes back to it (doesn't deny Wakasa's proposal of joining his gang and being on top of the world) and he talks about murdering people - and he does it. Granted, there were a lot of other stuffs that pushed him to it; but if it wasn't for his baby brother, the only thing left of his normal life, the only thing that reminded him of it, and how you do it, the only thing that pushed him to go back to it, to be 'normal', to open a legal shop, to stop illegal acts...

If Mikey didn't exist, or if he had died with his father, how far into illegality would Shinichiro had gone ? (and how far was he about to go in the original timeline if he hadn't died ? knowing he confesses he did a lot of shady stuffs in those four years to take care of Mikey)

Izana with Gekikara!reader

•At first he didn't know how crazy you were and he was wondering how you got the scars under your eye.

•You acted like an ordinary normal person in his presence.

•But after some time in your relationship, he saw you with a broken nose and abrasions on your face. He was angry. Who dared beat his girlfriend?!

•Of course, he began to demand the names of your offenders and you had to tell him the truth.

•He didn't believe you. How can his precious, beloved Y/N beat and fight with someone? As a result, you brutally beat the nearest passers-by so that Izana would believe you.

•To your surprise, he “liked” your cruelty. He was so excited when you broke that passerby's arm.

•You have become part of Tenjiku and occupy the position of Heavenly Queen. The other gang members wondered why the boss's girlfriend had joined their gang, but they didn't dare say anything to Izana, with the exception of Kakucho.

•After you proved yourself in battle, many began to fear you. Mochi and Shion wondered how a girl could be strong and crazy, and the Haitani brothers and Mucho began to respect and admire your cruelty.

•Izana finds it strange that you solve umbrellas and break pencils.

•Asks you not to beat up your opponent so much when you once again find yourself in a juvenile detention center.

[micahs-chin-scar]

do you have any sad headcanons about shion?

A few, yeah!

- Has a massive inferiority-superiority complex with an absolute zero in self-worth. No one who's actually confident goes around babbling about how much stronger and better they are than everyone around them. And remember how it's mentioned that he dislikes "cocky bastards" in the character book? Take that as self-loathing or insecurity, but either way it's well-known that people tend to dislike traits in others that mirror their own least favorite traits.

- Related to the above point, the main way Shion tries to increase his self-worth himself is through comparison with others. He looks up to Izana as an ideal to reach for, while also being immensely frustrated that he'll never be on his level (see: his conversation with Rindou in the charabook). He demolishes opponents without mercy, with a brutality that we've seen shocks even his own gang members, because it gives him proof that he actually has worth - more than those weaklings he's just beaten at least. He’s stronger and strength equals worth in the world of delinquents/gangs. His enjoyment of fighting isn’t just about the process itself (though he probably enjoys the adrenaline rush that comes with it), it’s about the validation.

- Thrives on praise and the admiration of others, so he constantly has to act tough, look good, and prove his worth. He can’t stand the idea of being left behind, forgotten, or dying useless and unwanted, which is why he always overcompensates in every direction. He's also very easily manipulated because of this.

- The reason why he cares about Tenjiku so much is because he's never felt like he had a place he belonged before. The gang didn't just give him a status and power, it gave him comrades that came from similar circumstances as him. Tenjiku is his safe haven, something he can fall back on and be sure and certain of the safety net available. Nothing was the same after it got disbanded.

- Was "raised" by a single, shitty dad. I'm sorry but his behavior just screams daddy issues to me. Said dad didn't visit him once during his time in juvie when he was 13. Shion ended up moving out (running away) when he was 16. He now lives in a small, run down apartment, but rent is cheap and no one bothers him aside from the landlord.

- His humiliating defeat against Mikey as the Black Dragon leader took a huge toll on him because not only did he lose his gang and leader position, he disappointed Izana, the person he admires most in the world. He was eager to prove himself during the opening match against Toman years later because it was supposed to be his "redemption".

- Was the one who took Izana's death the hardest aside from Kakucho.

- Has had several flings but no actual relationship by the time of Kanto Manji Gang. It's not that he's against it per se, he's just... very difficult to deal with. Of course that just reinforced him in his idea that he's inherently unlovable, which shows up on the surface as "no one is good enough for me anyway".

Hello

Hello! Would you write something with Yandere Bonten Mikey and Manila Izana where the darling they have an eye on is a Yakuza heiress and is someone you underestimate to your own peril.

(I'll do this one because who am I to be picky, but this is getting close to that territory I wanna avoid where its a hyper specific S/O that I think you'd be better off writing yourself than having me do it. I don't hate one Hyperspecific asks, I just want my requests to be more ambiguous like scenarios and what not. Also I know these two are your faves anon but i really wanna write for others too....)

ASK BOX IS OPEN

Bonten!Mikey

You were in the way. At first.... Mikey didn't like to be questioned or bothered with trivial things and he didn't need some stuck up rich girl getting impeding his plans

But boy was he wrong when you two made first contact. That deep empty look in your eyes, the killer instinct he could see in the way you held your gun.

He knew you weren't just any Yakuza daughter, and now he was interested.

Mikey saw himself in your eyes. A dark mirror into his soul, and despite the fact that the two of you clearly wanted to ring the others neck, there was something comforting about you.

Every deal struck, every peace made was just another step closer and closer to you.

He really thought that he just wanted to keep you around and in his circle because of how much you two understood each other, but then it hits him....

The Boten gang leader loved you. That's when things get messy. He makes sure there isn't peace anymore, is meticulous in how brutal he can be until finally he offers up and olive branch.

Marriage. For the sake of your two groups. Yakuza Heiress with the Invincible Gang Lord.

He's asking out of curtesy, you both know there isn't an actual choice.

Manila!Izana

He just wanted to break you. You made him look stupid for having miscalculated how cunning a woman could truly be. And you gained the upper hand on him more than once.

Now Izana wants to have you at his knees begging for mercy. You make him feel all kinds of rage and annoyance.

You're always one step ahead, keeping your group afloat and keeping him at bay.

And the guy has to hand it to you, you sure are crafty for an heiress to a dying off yakuza sect. That's his own fault for thinking you were easy prey, he's got a scar on his chest to prove it.

But he knows you'll slip up one day, he makes sure you know it too. All it ever takes is one mistake and he's been sending letters to you and all kinds of gifts to remind you he's never far off.

He wonders if you liked the ruby collar he sent you. What did you think of the note he left with it explaining about how he'll keep the matching leash ready.

What about the bouquet of roses, with the dead dove heads?

How about the box chocolates with your #2's fingers inside shaped like a heart?

Just get it over with and slip up princess, it won't be long now...

Hello! It is I for the matchup!

I'm 20 so I'd like it if it happens in the future in a dark timeline (ex: bonten, the one where kisaki won aka the first one etc)

Please no baiji, kazutora (I don't vibe with them) or Mickey/Izana (I get matched with him all the time) or draken. I just want someone new, even a red/black flag lmao

She/her, Gemini, Intp, 5w4

Asexual/heteromantic 

Chaotic Good 

Appearance: 164cm. Brown wavy hair, dark Brown eyes. Curvy body I guess? I'm pale with visible beauty marks like on my lips. I wear glasses/sunglasses. I've been described as cute and a tease because I always bite my lips out of habit lol. I often have a tired/annoyed expression or a smile. I wear comfy clothes and even pj outside. Or cliché villain clothes, no in between. I try to wear gloves to stop myself from bitting my nails. I guess I am slightly overweight? 80kg due to medical reasons and a weird metabolism, plus I have heavy bones

About me:

I appear as cold and very sarcastic. But I can be charismatic when I want. I'm always polite unless I dislike you (you'll know it because I become passive agressive). How I act depends on how you act with me, unless I'm in a bad mood. In that case I isolate to not be too mean. I act flirty around my friends and is known for sometimes playing with hearts (I'm oblivious to it). I'm petty and can go very far out of spite or vengeance. I curse a lot and will call you out on your bullshit with no issue no matter who you are. Did I loose people over this? Yes.

I'm moody and not a morning person AT ALL. I'm brutally honest and it affected some friendships because people sometimes won't dare to approach me. I'm also socially obvious to a lot of things. I'm very curious and have a short attention span. 

Getting along with me is easy peasy. As long as you're not a hypocrite we will get along. Now getting to know me is....nearly impossible. No friend of mine has managed to make me spill my problems even though they share theirs and I help them out. Even when I think I am sharing I am apparently not? My trust issues issues are too important for that lol. I don't open up and bottle my feelings all the time till I shut down or explode. I isolate a lot when I have problems or I'm just thinking (I love daydreaming). I'm rebellious but also a smooth talker. My friends know I have good intentions and would never wrong an innocent person. I'm the smart but reckless friend cuz I'll always hype up bad ideas for fun. I can be a bit naïve, I often assume that people don’t have a hidden agenda and it caused me problems in the past because spoiler alert they do! Now we all have some kind of hidden agenda but if I am in your team and you try to pull one over me…No mercy. I have morbid curiosity and shared dubious experimental ideas....Yes I am the type that can eat and look at a crime scene. I'm more logical than emotional. I'm ambitious and can't stand my own failure. But I'm also lazy and a procrastinator which is a terrible combo. I'm always willing to debate and learn new things because knowledge is very important to me. I'm creative and innovative, I know when to get to business. I'm very competitive and try to hide it. Yeah I have an ego, so what? if you don't have a solid argument with me, I'll destroy you.

Despite that, I joke a lot and never take anything seriously. It happens that I underestimate people. I'm a big tease and love to rile up people and see them get angry. I subtly insult people when they piss me off.

Because of that, I get very lonely and I'm misunderstood. I can handle being alone quite well since most of my friends betrayed me. Including a very close one who encouraged me to open up for years...and then they wonder why I have trust issues (if you want to confess just do it why wait years and then be like I don’t believe in boy girls friendships). I don't recognize my own feelings and mask that pretty well as it fools everyone. I don't consider myself to be a good person for some reasons. I envy easily and get annoyed easily because I want to succeed above all lol. Oh and I love money. I like gifting my friends and receiving gifts.

Hobbies:

Reading (mystery, thriller, fantasy), true crime, video games, drawing, baking (I’m quite good at it. It started mostly by being non satisfied over local bakeries qualities or prices), fighting sports (sparing and shooting), learning, daydreaming. I love space and mad scientists stories. My aesthetic is definitely related to those subjects as well as the sea and stars.I used to write poetry. I enjoy gacha games…just for the gamba part and lore

Likes:

Cats, sweet foods, plushies, hoodies, gossip (putting those reddit stories in the background), cheese, red flags, puzzles, true crime, juicy parts of history, mythology, sleeping or just lying in bed. I lowkey likes organizing BUT my room is very messy Dislikes:

I am thalassophobic, dogs, crowded places, someone that’s forceful, bullying, foods that have a lot of oily sauce…and if it’s deep fried but has too much oil. Being bored.

I hate owing something to someone. While yes I deal around and ask for favors I always repay in equal or more value. I’ll scam you if you scam me tho….I always have receipts or pictures

In a relationship:

I'm the chillest person. I don't get jealous or clingy. You can do whatever you want. I'm always here to give you advices because helping you out, giving you my time and giving you gifts is my love langage. It bothered my last boyfriend because he thought I wasn't emotionally present and isolated a lot (He knew what he was getting into. Then He cheated). I love cuddles but I'll take time to accept physical touch. I enjoy a partner that can keep up with me and be patient and honest because I value honesty in their feelings. I don’t care if they hide things, we all do, as long as it’s not gonna hurt me or us in the long run. Yes I like red flags and a friend called me a beige flag whatever it means. I enjoy stealing clothes and would prefer a taller partner. Not gonna lie…a little possessive/protective is cute. Make me feel wanted.

 I also love receiving gifts because uh...I grew up with them validating love. I hate cowardly people. I don't fall first and don't make the first move. Worse, there’s a high chance I say yes but will give it a period to see if I can develop feelings. I will be honest about my partner over this. I enjoy someone smart. I don't care if street or academic. I'm more an academic gifted kid who's trying to learn something other than that. Heck I can get in a stranger car and my mindset is if they try something I'll strangle them. Or if they try to rob me I'll throw them into a car. No mercy

I speak Arabic, French and English. I'm an only child.

@imjustabeanie I MATCH YOU UP WITH

RINDO HAITANI!

Honestly, who knows how you two go together. One day, you and Rindo were just together, and no one questioned it, not even Ran questioned it. Even if it may sound like you two aren't in a relationship, you guys are, you're just blunt with each other.

You two are very honest with each other. You know when Rindo is in a boring meeting or out killing Bontan traitors.

He will probably train you how to fight or use a gun properly. He doesn't want his girl to be defenseless without him.

Rindo will ask you to teach him Arabic, French, and help him with his English. In case Bontan spreads outside of Japan, he's going to know as many languages as he can.

Bontan pays a lot. He will spoil you if you let him. If not, he probably puts some money into your account without you knowing. Will make jokes of you spending his money on your digital boyfriends, even around friends and acquaintances.

Will ask you how to hide bodies more efficiently or will go over plans with you on how to make someone disappear easier and quicker.

If he does accidentally wake you up with his nighttime nonsense, expect either more money in your bank or that super ultra rare plush that they only made 100 of.

Rindo will find it hot if you tell any girls at clubs that try to flirt with him off. He definitely wouldn't encourage anything more than telling them off. (He would encourage violence, and he will also help with any violence).

He will find it even hotter if you want to help with his execution.

He would sneak any baked goods you make, probably by distracting you with kisses or being a flirt or maybe more.

With Rindo being an executive at Bontan, he doesn't have a lot of free time, so your dates end up atypical, to say the least. Like he will probably bring you along when he's executing someone (you may inspire some false hope in the victim but nope you're in the corner eating your favorite popcorn), he will probably bring you to meetings as well. Maybe also bring you to clubs if you're up for that. You two are a very scary couple, no one wants to get on the wrong side of.

Other Potential Matchups: Ran Haitani, Kakucho, and Haruchiyo Sanzu

HI HUN!! IM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG. ……..

MATCHUP Trade w @imjustabeanie !!!

I’ve decided to pair you with….. CHILDE … & DRAKEN!!

Draken!!

Let’s be honest. He’d totally be somewhat reminded of mikey- personality wise.

At first he’d probably treat you the same as mikey, take care of you n all!!

Although he wants you to talk to him about your problems, he knows when to not push.

He wont talk about his problems, but would encourage you to talk. He doesnt want to be closed off.

Lets be honest, it’d take a lot to get Ken REALLLLYYY mad. He’d probably tease you back.

Moral wise: I think Ken would think you are still a good person. If you are human, you do bad things no matter what. If you get along with Ken, it means you are a good person 🩷

He’d probably be the best person to talk to for any problems/insecurity. He always knows what to say!! Esp growing up in a brothel.

He’d love spending time with you. Personally ken seems like he’d honestly love to give you gifts back, and whatever you give him he’d keep forever. A plushie? On his bed. A poster? Hung up on his wall. Matching bracelets? Always wearing it.

I think he’d be more happy that you aren’t clingy- just because he’s probably always busy with Mikey, or Toman.

He definitely will be the one of keep up with you. He has a great emotional maturity!! If it takes time for physical touch he’s fine with that, I think he prefers quality time and gift giving anyways!!

Speaking different languages is so cool to him!! I think he’d be so proud whenever you spoke a diff language like “THATS MINE!!!!”

Out of the two, I think he’d be less likely to let you clone him, but would nonetheless…..

CHILDE!!!

Perfect personality for this man. Lets be honest!!

If you hated him, he’d love to egg you on. He’d probably flirt with you if you hated him!

But if you LIKE him, he’d be more ecstatic. He’d approach you with your cold demeanor- but getting close to you would make him so happy!

He definitely loves how petty you can be! It gets him going.

He also makes everything in jokes. But he knows when to take something seriously. He has younger siblings, and he knows when things get taken too far.

He LOVES being competitive !!! You guys would debate constantly, even if you win a lot.

He’d enjoy whenever you would hype him up for the dumbest shit he’d do. “Do a back flip!”

Also pretty emotionally unavailable. He wouldn’t come to you for his problems.

He can be 50/50 on talking about his problems. If he’s having a really bad day he will probably be VERY cold.

But he also wont force you to talk about your problems. I feel like he’s super bad at comforting people.

Since Ajax is NEVER around, his love languages are definitely 1) physical touch and 2) gift giving.

He always buys things for his younger siblings, because he knows he isn’t able to always be there for them, and hopes he could be able to do the same with you!

Now with physical touch, I feel like it would allow him to be in the moment. He understands if you need time, but he will never decline!

I feel like he def speaks a diff language, so he’d try to learn more languages to be able to talk to you in it!!!

Now will 10000000000000% let you clone him. He’d think it’d be funny, as long as you don’t work with dottore.

AGAIN IM SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER ML … 🩷🩷🩷 HOPE YOU ENJOY

" How many people would you kill for me ? " Izana already knows the answer , so why does he ask ? This menagerie he has built are full of people with violent thoughts , and a lust for violent things. He doubts they murder for his name , but under his name works just as well . — so he asks quite simply for one reason: he likes to hear it from his subordinates , whether they deliver him honeyed lies or brutal truths.

𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬: some end in a single zero on the center of a yen coin, others in six on a signed cheque, and others in an iniquitous exchange of mundane trinkets. a kidney for a pack of gum, one time, and a still-beating heart for a pricier bottle of alcohol, the next.

nothing izana asks of him would make ran's hands any dirtier than the rokusei community already did. would he be disappointed to find that he would not be the one to break ran? that the orders he'll follow from him were not too different than the ones from those executives? that ran had killed his last boss, and would not hesitate to do the same to his current one, if their paths diverged and his power became more threat than conditional allyship?

izana kurokawa could tame the s-62 generation into being his obedient little bloodhounds, but he would never chain ran haitani down.

the truth is this: ran would walk through fire for him, stop the rain for himㅤ───ㅤbut he will not kill himself for him. he could give izana the world, if he asked for it. he would kneel down before him and pledge his loyalty, playing at pious knights to a merciful king who would not misuse their service. he could help izana pretend the gold around him was born from his regal touch instead of ran's blood money, but ran would not compromise his sense of self to fit into what izana believes to be the perfect little subject. it's the one price he refuses to pay.

ㅤㅤㅤ‘ㅤyou're the boss now, izana... or should i start calling you captain now? you know you can say the word and i'll get the job done no problem.ㅤ’ㅤㅤwhat he does not say lays evident in the sly curve of his lips, the coy glance he gives from beneath dark lashesㅤ───ㅤand that is the game they've agreed to play, isn't it? ran will sit there, pretty and amenable, and execute the orders given to him with eerie precision and careful perfection, but they both know he could find a way out if he truly tried looking for it. the whims that keep him here now could see him gone the next day, regardless of consequences, and all izana had over him to stop it was his own strength and rindou's safety in bargain.ㅤ

( maybe then izana would be the one to find out how much a haitani's life is worth. )

ㅤㅤㅤ‘ㅤi'll slice off the heads of whoever crosses you and bring them to your doorstep, all tied with a nice little bow. does that satisfy your majesty?ㅤ’

-> navigation: [ series masterlist ] | [ previous chapter ]

-> song link: [x]

Kakucho barely recalls the night he left, and in addition, the entirety of the transport that led him here.

He did remember a plane, sitting next to a window with an empty seat beside him, which Izana happily took. A flight attendant had given him something fruity with rum in it, placed in front of him in a shock of red slush and a yellow umbrella on top. She’d said something close to enjoy your drink, but he hadn’t paid much attention to her response, simply nodding and taking a sip. His lips turned. It was all sugar and sweetness; but it felt good. Refreshing.

Izana smiles at him. Don’t like sweet drinks?

“No,” Kakucho says softly, taking another sip and quickly betraying his statement. He takes a moment for the slush to melt on his tongue before shrugging. “Well, alright, it’s pretty damn good.” He was never one for sweet drinks; he preferred whiskey, when he did drink, which was not often due to his past negligence. But hell, he’s on a plane on vacation. He’s allowed a few slip-ups. And one rum punch isn’t going to send him spiraling; this wasn’t a drinking binge under pressure. He was actually enjoying himself.

He’d turned his phone off, purchasing a burner on his way out of Tokyo. As the plane lifted off into the air, he could almost feel the claws of Bonten releasing from him, even just momentarily; he wondered if Rindou had told everyone, breaking his promise (although Rindou’s promises do tend to be pretty shitty in the first place) and stoking a fire. He can almost see it; Ran’s look of fake surprise, Koko’s look of real surprise, Mikey’s indifference as he wastes away at the top of a crime syndicate he never truly cared about in the first place.

He fears when he’ll have to come back. He may be dragged back, or not; either way, he’s hoping that it won’t be brutal. He can handle punishments at the hands of most of the Bonten members; hell, he could probably take many of them on himself. But he did fear them in some capacity; mostly because of how well some of them fit into the lifestyle they’d curated. It was a little terrifying seeing how easily they excused murder, or drug abuse, or using women for nothing more than pleasure. Kakucho wasn’t a prude by any means; but the way he’d seen some of them, especially Takeomi, treat some of the women they’d had at clubs put a horrible taste into his mouth.

Izana’s face comes into his frame of sight. You’re thinking too hard. They can function without you for as long as you need. Stop worrying about it.

Kakucho scoffs, blinking as he drags himself out of the spiral he’d certainly have fallen into if Izana hadn’t said something. “Probably. They’ll be at each other’s throats, I’d bet. That’s a sight I’ll miss seeing.” Thinking of Rindou with his shocking purple hair and glasses, easily a foot shorter than everyone else present, glaring up at Ran and Takeomi, Koko attempting to barter for a better sentencing, was both terrifying and hilarious. Him and Rindou had never been close, but he did happen to be the lesser of two evils. Although that wasn’t saying much, anyway.

The plane touches down so gently that Kakucho barely registers they’ve landed until he looks out the window.

He fully expects the concrete jungle of Tokyo, but instead, there’s appearances of green with the ocean spreading out to the horizon in front of him. The salty sea air stings his nostrils as he leaves the plane, Izana right next to him as he bounds down the stairs. Kakucho knows he didn’t grow up here, but he definitely feels a sense of home here nonetheless. Like how ghosts who didn’t live in one place but were culturally from somewhere else get their ashes spread there…something like that.

He breezes through baggage claim and getting to the resort is blurry; something about the driver knowing him with a wink, tinted windows making sure the glare of the sun doesn’t bother him so much, the receptionist smiling at him as he checks in, and finally, he stands in front of the door to his room. He has an extended stay for three months; Izana made sure that he booked for longer than his original two weeks. Two weeks wouldn’t be nearly enough to make him feel better.

He sucks in a breath through his teeth at the view.

Everywhere he looks, there’s a view of the sparkling blue ocean. Tropical birds perch on the windowsill, and fly off with sweet chirps as he enters, placing his bags on the floor. The smell of the sea is strong, but it smells cleaner than Tokyo; his mind is already more at ease. Izana follows him closely, flopping onto the bed. It doesn’t indent beneath him; another reminder that he’s not really here.

It’s so pretty here.

Kakucho hums, wandering out onto the porch as he lights a cigarette. The receptionist had stated this was a smoke-free resort, but Kakucho didn’t care. He was in his room, and he’s sure there’s a note on that reservation detailing who he is. Even so, he’ll pay the fee if he needs to as he takes a long drag, leaning on the window. Izana wanders over to him after leaving the bedroom, taking up residence on the chair next to him, settling in nicely as his eyes slide shut.

The sun hits his face, warm and cozy, just like the day where he’d last spoken to Koko.

For the first time in months, Kakucho smiles.

Kakucho’s sleep that night is nothing notable.

He awakens early, as he usually does, wandering down to the café for a pastry in his slides and board shorts, a Hawaiian shirt hanging off of his frame. He doesn’t bother buttoning it up; he’ll be on the beach soon enough, anyway. The pastries lined up on the table are light, tasting like sugar and cream and air as he bites into one. Izana watches him longingly, and Kakucho can’t help but chuckle.

“Missing real food, huh?”

Izana rolls his eyes.

Shut up. It’s one of the shitty things about being dead, you know. You’ll find out when you finally decide to die.

Kakucho laughs out loud at that, with Izana’s eyes glittering with humor at the jest. “Yeah, if I decide to die,” he says, gathering his things and walking towards the door to the beach, “and that’s an if. What if I just decide to live forever? Who’s gonna stop me?”

Izana doesn’t miss a beat. Rindou. Or Koko.

“Really? Rindou, my ‘good friend’? Sounds about right.”

The shorter man hums, but doesn’t comment on it. He knows better, Kakucho thinks; Rindou would sell him for a nice piece of paper if he had the means. And Koko? If he got a good enough deal…Kakucho was expendable, he knows that, even if the boys made it strongly known that he wasn’t. Their obsession into the topic only gave it away.

The sand is hot underneath Kakucho’s feet as he precariously ventures out; white sand being hot was a new one for him, but he acclimates to it quickly as he approaches one of the many lawn chairs strewn out. Sunscreen stings his nose as he removes his shirt, spraying it all over himself. Izana takes his place in the seat next to him, smirking at Kakucho’s effort of reaching the small of his back to rub in the sunscreen.

See, there’s a perk. I don’t have to wear sunscreen because I can’t get burnt.

“Wow,” Kakucho says, sarcasm dripping from his voice, “what a great perk of being dead. I’ll definitely enjoy not being burnt by the sun when I’m gone.”

The morning goes by quickly, the beach filling up with more people as the day drags on. Kakucho manages to get some sleep on the chair, before watching a group set up a volleyball net and draw out a field in front of him. They seem around his age, definitely here on their parents’ dime with the tans and expensive sunglasses and bikinis on some of the girls. One guy has a sprawling black tattoo, not unlike Rindou’s now that he thinks about it, spiraling up the side of his face and head.

After a while of watching them try and fail to successfully do a serve, Kakucho gets up to venture to the bar. Sweat makes his shirt stick to his back, so he removes it, leaving it behind. “Don’t go anywhere,” he jokes at Izana, who rolls his eyes again. Fuck off.

At the bar, the pretty bartender bats her eyelashes at him as he slides into a seat. She’s pretty, long black hair sticking to her skin from the heat, a sheen of sweat glistening along her body. Her blue bikini is working overtime to restrain her breasts that are threatening to spill out from the small cups, the bottom’s strings peeking out above her jean shorts.

“What’ll ya have, gorgeous?” she asks, her lip gloss shining in the sunlight as Kakucho’s gaze travels along the liquor bottles, “Can get ya a simple rum punch if ya want. It’s all the rage at the beach, of course.”

Kakucho nods, humming. “Sure. I’ll take two.”

She scrunches her eyebrows, as if looking around to see if he’s here with somebody. “For you and…?”

“Me and me. I deserve two of these, trust me.”

She giggles to herself as she grabs the rum. “You got a point there, pretty boy. What are ya doing here? Vacationing?”

Kakucho sighs. “Something like that. Just needed to get away.”

A hum. “Yeah, that’s what most of these people are doing. That, and using their trust fund parents’ money. Oh well, it keeps me in a job, even if they’re all a pain in the ass.”

She serves up the two rum punches with little umbrellas in them, before giving him another flashing smile. “Drink up! Feel free to come back for more.” With a wink, she wanders off to the other side of the bar, where a few middle-aged men are yelling for what’s on draft. She swings her hips as she does so, her thighs jiggling as she walks; Kakucho knows that tactic, he’s not stupid. He scoffs, grabbing his drinks, and leaving the bar. Little does she know that he’s not here for that; although her calling him pretty boy did make his chest twinge. Just a little bit.

The sand is hot underneath his feet again, having been in the shade for a few moments to lose the acclimation, and he tiptoes back to the chairs where Izana is waiting. He lifts up the drinks, smiling to himself, and—

“FUCK!”

Something hits him smack in the face, and he stumbles back, blinking in shock. His vision is blurry, but as he grips the drinks in his hands, he’s managed to not spill any of it. Thank God, because that would require another trip to the slutty bartender, and he’s really not ready to be objectified again. As he blinks rapidly for his vision to return, a figure swims in his vision, rapidly approaching him.

“Oh my God, I am so sorry!” a voice says. It’s feminine, middle pitch, and as his vision focuses…

He almost drops the drinks from that alone.

He barely has time to process the person in front of him before they’re yapping again, apologizing profusely as their hand grabs onto his arm, leading him back to where his chair is, sitting on the chair next to him. Kakucho’s vision finally comes back fully, and he takes in the sight in front of him. Izana has moved from the chair to stand behind him, red rage radiating off of him in waves.

All he can think of is pretty.

You’re gorgeous, hair tied up in a bun, baby hairs flying away, cheeks flushed from exertion and sweat covering your skin. Your bikini is a nice cerulean blue, matching well with your tan, gym shorts low on your hips. You’re saying something about how you suck at volleyball and you really should have noticed Kakucho was right there before you’d served, and—

He places the drinks down and grabs your hands. Your eyes go wide.

“It’s fine…uh—”

You say your name with a smile, sheepishly.

He smiles back. “Nice to meet you. I’m Kakucho. Probably not the best way to introduce yourself to someone, yeah? If you wanted to say hi, you could’ve found a…less violent way.”

You throw your head back in a laugh. “Yeah, you’re probably right. Although it did get your attention, I guess, right?” you shoot back, one of your eyebrows high on your forehead. He doesn’t respond at once, and you look back down at his hands wrapped around your wrists. “You gonna let go or do you do this to all the girls you meet?”

Kakucho’s face goes bright red, he can feel the burning as he rips his hands away, like he’s been stung. “Right, yeah, sorry,” he mumbles, and you laugh again. Your laugh is so pretty; like a wind chime. “No worries, I probably just gave you a concussion anyway. I can imagine you feel a little shaken up.”

There’s a beat of silence after you’re done speaking, and you take up the silence again. It’s clear you like to talk as you start again. “I’m gonna sit here with you if that’s alright. Feels like I should since I injured you and all that, and again, I’m no good at volleyball.”

“I’ll say,” Kakucho says, taking a sip of the rum punch, humming as the chill hits the back of his throat, “what are you guys here for, by the way? Vacation?”

You nod. “Yeah, South’s dad got us a few months here to hang out during the summer. It was either this or Rio, and South wasn’t very keen on going back. So, we decided on here.”

Kakucho nods again. “Rio de Janeiro, I assume? Who’s South?”

You point to the guy with the massive tattoo, who serves the ball and smashes it right into one of the other guys, who doubles over with a howl. South’s face splits into a massive smile as he grabs the girl next to him, pressing a messy kiss to her forehead as she giggles, attempting to push him away. He seems alright. Kind of like someone I know…

You two chat for a little longer, finding out what your backgrounds are. He thinks it’s part of a concussion test; if he can recall what he does and who he is, that’s probably a good sign there’s no brain damage. Turns out, you’re a student at one of the universities in Tokyo, studying some fancy subject that Kakucho didn’t really understand.

The sun is well past its zenith when Kakucho hears South calling for you, and he’s almost finished his rum punch when he nods at him. “Looks like your group’s leaving.”

You look over and wave, before looking back at Kakucho, smiling. “Yeah. See you around?” you ask, gathering yourself as you stand up. Kakucho nods, giving you his room number. “In case you get bored. I do have a cool patio bath thing I’ve been meaning to try out,” he says, and at your raised eyebrows, he swallows, “but no rush. Don’t want to seem weird. You just…feel like a breath of fresh air. Sorry if that’s a little weird.”

Your eyes shine as you smile at him. He wishes he could take a picture of you like that, frozen in time, happy.

You run off, joining South and the others as they wander off the beach, their things in tow. He watches you until your group is specks on the horizon, wandering back to the other side of the resort from him. He’s not sure you’ll come see him later, but the thought of you doing so makes him feel a little giddy.

In all honesty, Kakucho isn’t sure what he’s feeling, but it’s not just a friendly stranger feeling of meeting someone new. No, there’s something else. his chest feels tight, unusually tight as he sips his second rum punch, the alcohol loosening him up. Izana says nothing, taking up the spot you’d left on the chair again, staring off into the ocean.

Something fated, something that feels meant to be about all of this. Stars aligning and whatnot.

Whatever it is, he is certainly not ready for what is to come.

Oh wow…that shit’s so messed up I’m sorry- Seeing how fucking brutal these two are to her, it lowkey makes me wanna get back at them somehow cuz I’m petty lol. Like I know it’s wishful thinking cuz it’s Mikey and Izana we’re talking about, and they have a shit ton more power than reader, but plsplspls I want them to suffer MORE WKAJWHEBV. At first, I’d imagine reader with some other man, but they both can easily get rid of him and punish her and make her suffer even more, so I drop that idea pretty quickly. Just let my girl live in peace for fuck’s sake…

OOHH!! Imagine how they’ll react when she completely…snaps. Just gone. An empty shell of who she was. I’m talking about legit no emotions or feelings or any type of reactions when they hurt her. Nothing. Completely dull to all their messed up antics. I once read a short scenario similar to this (it’s a yandere type thing), and the darling is exactly like this, so I wonder how the brothers would handle that. Would they give up on her? Would they get rid of her entirely due to anger? Would they at least try to do something? It doesn’t matter what they do, scream at her, hit her, give her “love” or “affections” or gifts. It simply doesn’t matter. She would not react at all.

OR OR. I’m sorry but I’m getting excited at the mere thought of those two suffering LKJWDBN. Maybe she, somehow in someway, manages to get away from them both and move to somewhere else far, FAR away. And they can’t even find her, it’s like she completely disappears from the face of the earth. All of her info is deleted on the internet and her socials (if she has any), and they just can’t track her down AT ALL. If they treat her like she’s lower than the dirt under their shoes, why bother anymore right? Not like they truly love her like she deserves anyway, might as well leave them. I wanna be the one to help her get away cuz that girl deserves nothing but the best fr :((

OR OR OR- (IM SORRY I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS AND IM LITERALLY VIBRATING RN. This is SO much fun, I love this series SO much). Imagine if she gets into a terrible accident. Car accident, someone stabbed her, hit her head hard. IDK. Whatever it is, she got hurt BAD. Like hospital-emergency-surgery-ASAP bad. Would they even care tbh? I mean, it means she has a chance of finally leaving Emma alone right? Their family can finally go back to normal, and they don’t have to fight her for Emma’s attention anymore. They should feel relieved, happy even, that she can be gone forever…right? Would be even better if they have no idea at first, so they start wondering why they don’t see her in campus or why she isn’t with Emma at parties anymore or why she isn’t picking up her damn phone or texting them back after literal weeks. Meanwhile she’s still at the hospital, in a coma, barely hanging on for dear life. If she dies…they shouldn’t be bothered, right? Especially Izana. (Honestly, idk if I want them to be devastated or nonchalant about reader’s death. Like the fucking audacity to feel sad about her death when you’re the one who LITERALLY made her life hell. But then they’d be just straight up assholes/psychos if they don’t gaf.)

Due to these thoughts, I’m very excited to see chapter 10 whenever it’s out. I know it’s still very early on, and the description or plot may change, but the summary is making me SHAKING. LIKE WYM BROKE THE CYCLE??? IS MY GIRL FINALLY FREE??? WYM AT WHAT COST??? SHE SUFFERS ENOUGH LET HER BE FREEE- anyways :)) I FEEL LIKE IM ANNOYING YOU WITH THESE ASKS IDK. IF SO I APOLOGIZE AJEFJN- One last question, the series only has 10 chapters right?

OKAY IM DONE I PROMISE LMAO.

FIRST OF ALL YOU'RE NOT ANNOYING ME AT ALLL! I've your ask fifteen times and I kick my feet and giggle cause how do I have such creative READERS I LOVE YALL NGL.

I lwk want reader to just start messing around with other men too, but like she's not that kind of person at all unfortunately. Plus she's seen enough with men after her father, her brothers and then the Sanos.

There's definitely a point where reader snaps and goes off the grid that they can't find her BUT I DON'T WANNA GIVE SPOILERS. Long story short, the two brothers aren't thrilled with the situation.

I believe pre Chapter 3, they won't really care, but post chapter 3, whew boy... if something happened to reader, Mikey's definitely going to start tweaking. Godforbid reader dies, every hospital staff treating her and their families will see jesus before tuesday. If reader dies or leaves Mikey post chapter 3, Mikey's going off the rails mentally and physically. Izana might be affected for a long while, but he can still bounce back, just a tad bit more cruel and he may or may not start sleeping with women that look like reader...

CHAPTER 10 will be hands down my favourite to write. Idk what I'll do w/ my life when monsters is over tbh (finish my other wips ofc)
