#wheres my bastard yokai

[doodlboy]

Insane abt these outfits tbh

[tgrailwar-zero]

ADMIRAL: "Fire, Lucky Shot! Let's show that bastard what we can do, eh?!"

She bellowed, as the crew members shouted in unison after her. You felt the magical energy concentrate in the coin, before she manifested several massive cannons that began to draw in the coins magical energy.

A blast of light surged outward.

It slammed into the belly of the whale, the massive beast letting out an agonizing groan as it fell backwards, MUSASHI scrambling to regain her position. It was laying prone, the stomach of it seared and singed as if it had been exposed to boiling lava- the pain must have been immense… that 'Lucky Shot' was immensely unlucky for anyone caught in the path.

However- it just served as set-up.

JAGUAR MAN: "Hang on, are we about to see something nuts?!"

DURYODHANA: "You better follow through!"

-

The Samurai landed on the belly of the beast, and began to focus.

A fog began to shift from the sea.

The legend of 'Ganryuu-jima' was foggy. None truly knew what happened on that island, with the exception of Miyamoto Musashi. This was a technique that held many masks, but one of the concepts was that 'none may know what happened upon that island'. What trickery was played, what heretical nature had occurred… had it been a pure sword-fight, or had there been foul play? Was this a battle of skill, or a battle of luck?

Two warriors arrived upon Ganryuu-jima, and only one left.

MUSASHI: "With my swords, I will sever the seas…!"

She crossed her swords in front of her-- and then, she was gone- lost in the fog.

No, she knew perfectly well where she was within the fog, but she had become 'lost to others', no longer able to be perceived.

MUSASHI: "Be completely and utterly crushed, as if trampled by the great yokai Onyudo! This is my--"

You heard her roar through the fog, the only things visible being the flash of cold steel- the dance of blades wielded by the sword saint made to sever all things without mercy or hesitation.

MUSASHI: "GANRYUU-JIMA!"

A spray of blood, the sea turning red.

The waters parted, a vortex of water appearing where the strike had occurred.

A massive amount of magical energy, surging and spiraling from that one 'point' as the incomprehensible technique had been triggered.

Silence, as the fog faded. Bated breath to see the results of the attack.

...The fog faded, and the whale remained.

Pieces of it had been carved away- but the fact that there was enough rent flesh to even identify it was impressive.

Just how durable was this thing…?!

No... no, it had stopped moving. Was it down? Was it dead?

ADMIRAL: "Back away, Samurai."

It lay still in the water-- no, it was beginning to sink, lowering itself into the depths. The samurai leapt off the beast, landing back on the deck.

The ADMIRAL jumped off her ship and onto the approached the center of the whale-shaped mass as she grabbed a small object, putting it in her pocket.

The 'ground' under her shifted as the massive whale began to reconstitute itself, flesh building itself back up as it began to fill in the spaces carved away.

MUSASHI: "It regenerates!?"

That was frightening.

That had to be the reason it was so difficult to kill, in addition to pure durability- it had taken two Noble Phantasm-class attacks head-on, and it was recovering. It sank lower and lower into the water, disappearing under the waves.

ADMIRAL: "The good news is that the process usually takes at minimum 10 seconds. In other words, it's your win. And I've got this- a valuable treasure in it's own right. Thought I'd have to wrench it from the bastard's corpse... but no, all I needed was someone to cut deeply enough into you.."

She chuckled, as you saw the PRIEST approaching in a dinghy. There was your ride. The bell began to toll.

10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5… 4… 3… 2…

The final bell rung.

JAGUAR MAN: "And it's a knockout! What a match!"

DURYODHANA: "I see. Impressive. Good show, everyone."

-

MUSASHI picked you up, jumping onto the PRIEST's dinghy. You looked up at the ADMIRAL as she beamed, the rest of the crew clamoring up to the deck, cheering wildly.

ADMIRAL: "Fellows! We celebrate until morn, and then we set sail when the sun is high! Spend tonight to indulge your spirits and say your final goodbyes, as we leave this place forever!"

CREW: "Yes, Admiral!"

...

...And that was that. Victory was yours, and the PRIEST returned you to safer ground as the 'arena' faded and you heard the cheers of the onlookers. You were almost certainly about to surge in popularity after this.

Safely warped back into MUSASHI's dressing room, she sat down, letting out an excited shout.

MUSASHI: "Hyoo~! Now that was a fight! Good job, Masters! No, good job me! Good job both of us, hehehe!"

She seemed to be in high spirits.

There was a knock on the door.

MUSASHI: "Come in, come in...! No autographs are being signed at this time, though~!"

The door opened, as GIUSEPPE entered.

GIUSEPPE: "Congratulations, Saber. Your Majesties. As agreed, I've staged a conversation with Hassan-i Sabbah for after this fight. I hope you didn't forget?"

MUSASHI groaned, waving him away.

MUSASHI: "Ugh.... I'm exhausted. Can we get a few seconds to bask in our victory?"

GIUSEPPE: "I apologize but... Unfortunately not, they insisted 'right after', and I couldn't find much room to argue."

???: "...Your 'Ruler' told us that you wished to speak to the Old Man of the Mountain. That is not an honor many receive."

The lights snapped shut. You heard the sound of multiple footsteps hitting the floor. The voice that echoed in the darkness was smooth and measured. It sounded close to you, as if it someone was whispering directly in your ear- and yet it simultaneously resounded everywhere.

The voice of a killer. You'd heard the voices of warriors- many of your Servants fell into that category. You'd even heard the voice of 'one who kills', the uneven rumbling tones of your AVENGER. This was neither. This was the voice of one who proudly killed, who acted in terms of their own justice. There was resolve, and with that resolve came the chill of death.

MUSASHI sat up, swiftly. One hand reached for her swords.

Several skulls in the darkness. Several shadows surrounding you on all sides. One of the shadows emerged from the darkness, resting a hand on their hip-- no, on their daggers.

They weren't that relaxed.

ASSASSIN: "…Therefore, Demon of the Moon, we will allow you to speak."

She gestured, giving you the floor. You felt a bit blindsided-- but these were professional assassins, they were marching to the beat of their drum- not yours. Allowing you to be 'comfortable' would be a disadvantage on their part.

A Beginner’s Guide to Tokusatsu

Hey, I know some of you are probably wondering about all these hero shows I’m constantly posting about. Maybe you want to try watching them too, but don’t know where to start? Well, look no further. I’m here to go over some accessible, and legal, means of checking out some of my favorite things!

for the OTHER means, you’ll have to DM me or send me an ask. I’m not getting my favorite sites shut down. You know the drill.

This guide will mainly focus on the big 3 Toku franchises, Toei’s Kamen Rider and Super Sentai as well as Tsuburaya’s Ultraman.

What Is Tokusatsu?

Tokusatsu is a genre of Japanese shows and movies that literally translates to “Special Effects”. Usually using a combination of monster or hero suits, practical effects like explosions, and light CGI.

That’s a REALLY wide net, so we’re just gonna focus on 3 shows today.

Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Ultraman. Thanks to @urotandersentai​ for drawing this neat little guide to the Visual Design of each of these 3 shows.

With that out of the way, let’s look at some individual seasons of these shows. Each one has a link to where you can watch it!

Please remember that at the end of the day, the best way to pick a show to watch is “Whatever looks coolest to you”. As such, I’ve included pictures!!!

Super Sentai

You might be saying, “This looks like Power Rangers!” And you’d be right!

Super Sentai, created by Shotaro Ishinomori and produced by Toei Productions, is kinda like Power Rangers’ Dad. PR has been using suits and even fight footage from Super Sentai to tell its own stories for 30 years. All this time, though, Sentai has been creating lovable and memorable casts of colorful heroes.

Generally, Super Sentai is about a team of heroes in colorful costumes that fight monsters every week to protect people.

There’s tons of shows in this series that are available FOR FREE.

CHOUJIN SENTAI JETMAN (1991)

The Earth is under siege from the Dimensional War Party Vyram. A special squadron is selected for an experiment to turn them into Super Humans with the powers of Birds, the Birdman Squadron Jetman. Vyram interferes with the experiment and kills all but one of the Jetman recruits. Instead, civilians are transformed and tasked with defending the Earth. The surviving recruit, Ryu Tendo, must convince 4 normal people with drastically different backgrounds to fight with him.

Jetman has the typical monster of the week format for Super Sentai, but when the team isn’t battling monsters, there’s some serious drama going on. The five of them are all drastically different individuals. It can make it hard to work as a team. Especially when it comes Black Condor. Dude’s a loose canon and an absolute bastard of a man.

KYORYU SENTAI ZYURANGER (1992)

“From hundreds of millions of years ago, in the age of the dinosaurs, five warriors revive in the present time!”

When the Evil Witch Bandora awakens from her slumber, intent on terrorizing the Children of Earth, Five warriors from Dinosaur Times are unsealed to undo her schemes!

This one is where the suits for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came from, which might tempt you to watch it first. I kinda recommend against that, though. It’s a fine show but I personally found it a bit boring. The characterization of the main cast didn’t stick out as much compared to other Sentai.

GOSEI SENTAI DAIRANGER (1993)

I haven’t seen this one, but it’s focused on martial arts and one of their mechs is a cool dragon? so uhhh? Check them out? Their theme song fucks

NINJA SENTAI KAKURANGER (1994)

Ok listen I didn’t watch this one either. HOWEVER, I know that it’s about the descendants of 5 legendary ninja who have been fighting yokai for 400 years.

CHOURIKI SENTAI OHRANGER (1995)

This is the last sentai in the “I didn’t watch it” category. uhhh, watch it if the suits look cool. Sorry.

GEKISOU SENTAI CARRANGER (1996)

Five Mechanics use the power of Car Magic to protect the earth from the Universal Reckless Driving Tribe and teach children about Traffic Safety. This one’s a tad bit goofier compared to some of the others, but it’s a good time.

Also There’s a Yoda.

DENJI SENTAI MEGARANGER (1997)

Five High School Students are friends and pals! Together they investigate the mysterious goings on of a technologically advanced evil empire. They literally surf the net in order to bring peace to their city and the world!

SEIJUU SENTAI GINGAMAN (1998)

The warriors of Ginga Forest, the Gingamen, have protected nature for 132 Generations. This series follows the 133rd Generation of Gingamen, who battle alongside Starbeasts to stop the resurrection of the Demon Beast Ditanix!

KYUKYU SENTAI GOGOFIVE (1999)

This time, the rangers are an experienced team of rescue workers given super human power! They fight back Literal Demons From Hell that endanger the public. There’s a lot of focus specifically on rescuing civilians in this one, so if you’re an especially big fan of watching heroes... SAVE people, this is a great choice.

MIRAI SENTAI TIMERANGER (2000)

In the 30th Century, a gang of super criminals escapes to the year 2000. They are tracked down by the Future Sentai Timeranger, agents of the Time Defense Force. There, they encounter the Great(s) Grandfather of their departed leader and must convince him to fight alongside them for the sake of humanity.

HYAKUJU SENTAI GAORANGER (2001)

Veterinarian Kakeru Shishi can hear the hearts of every animal! He swiftly becomes enraptured in the adventures of the Gaorangers, who battle living embodiment of pollution. Also they live on a flying turtle! How cool is that?

NINPUU SENTAI HURRICANNEGER (2002)

What if there was a polycule of ninjas SO BAD at being Ninjas, they showed up to Ninja Class Late and were the only survivors of an attack on their school? These guys are the silliest little slackers, but they’ve got hearts of gold. Check them out? For me? :)

KAMEN RIDER

If Super Sentai is Power Rangers’ Dad, Kamen Rider is Power Rangers’ Uncle.

Kamen Rider was ALSO created by Shotaro Ishinomori.

Usually focused in on a smaller cast of heroes. A common theme in Rider is that the heroes are created by their villains and choose to rebel against them for the greater good, or will use the villain’s own powers against them.

Most Riders have a signature attack where they leap into the air and do a flying kick. These get INCREDIBLY flashy over the years.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot less Kamen Rider legally available than there are of the other two shows here. Don’t fret, it’s Easy Enough To Find Anyway.

As for the shows I can link you to, there’s

KAMEN RIDER (1971)

This is the original series.

Takeshi Hongo is an augmented human being created by the evil organization Shocker. Escaping before his brainwashing can be completed, battles for humanity’s freedom as Kamen Rider.

Being such an old show, the effects can be dated and cheesy. It’s a bit of an acquired taste, but if you stick with it, I’m sure you’ll love it. You can watch most of the show in almost any order. The only really confusing part is that eventually, Hongo tags out with fellow escaped cyborg Ichimonji Hayato as Kamen Rider. (This was due to a real world injury to Hongo’s actor during filming. Don’t worry, he’s still kicking and he comes back later in the show!)

It’s also the longest Kamen Rider show, so I don’t fault you if you decide not to watch ALL of it. Even I haven’t yet.

If reading is more your thing, it’s based on a manga that you can find a DELIGHTFULLY well crafted omnibus of here

KAMEN RIDER KUUGA (2000)

Kuuga was the first season of Rider after about a 5 year break on TV. It’s something of a return to form.

It follows Yusuke Godai, a world traveler with 2000 skills, visiting his home town for the first time in years. He finds himself in the middle of an ancient civilization’s ritualistic murder game. Donning the mantle of Kuuga, Godai fights to protect the smiles of the city. He has a wonderful supporting cast around him including Detective Ichijou, who he goes on to share a rather homoerotic bond with.

Kuuga was my first Rider Series and to this day, it represents the Bread and Butter of Kamen Rider to me. This one’s a bit of a slow-paced Drama, but its focus is on what it means to help others. Every episode, I felt like I was actively being encouraged to be a better person. Godai’s got this infectious positivity that can’t help but make you grin.

KAMEN RIDER RYUKI (2002)

Ryuki takes a rather different direction from the other shows on this list. Instead of being about a single hero battling monsters, it’s about Plucky Young Journalist Shinji Kido being wrapped up in an all-out war between Kamen Riders. Donning the mask of Ryuki, he seeks to put an end to the bloodshed. The other Kamen Riders aren’t nearly as cooperative, though.

Don’t think that this plot means these characters don’t get tons of humanizing moments though. They’re all delightful to watch in action and you’ll end up truly questioning who will win? Is it possible to end the Riders’ battle? Will Shinji have to take a life after all?

I cannot recommend Ryuki enough. A lot of the Rider series from the early 2000s are Dramas that feature super heroes and Ryuki takes that drama up to a 10. (Plus, if you wanna ask where to find it, there’s plentiful side content for this show.)

KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE (2019)

In the far-flung year of 2019, Hiden Intelligence has revolutionized AI technology. The company manufactures Robot Assistants called Humagears. People in all walks of life and profession benefit from their aid. Unfortunately, something is causing Humagears to go berserk and attack humans.

With the death of Hiden Intelligence’s president, Failed Comedian Aruto Hiden inherits the company. He’s given the Zero-One Driver, which allows him to fight the corrupted Humagears as Kamen Rider Zero-One. With this new power in hand, Aruto seeks a way forward where Humankind and AI can exist in harmony.

Come to think of it, this one’s kinda topical. “AI” is a subject we really aren’t gonna be getting rid of any time soon. This show is one of the more recent rider productions you can find legally and it SHOWS. Every suit is sleek and clean, the visuals are striking and flashy. If nothing else, Zero-One LOOKS incredible.

KAMEN RIDER GEATS (2022)

Kamen Riders compete in a game called the Desire Grand Prix. By fighting monsters and saving people for points, the winner can have their greatest desire granted. Ukiyo Ace, the titular Kamen Rider Geats, looks to unravel the mysteries behind the Grand Prix and reunite with his long-lost mother.

Things get a bit more complicated than that, but I think you should see it for yourself. I can’t recommend Geats enough. its visual style is a direct evolution of Zero One’s sleekness and flashiness. It’s main 4 characters are some of my favorites in recent years.

SHIN KAMEN RIDER (2023) (Paid)

Takeshi Hongo is an augmented human being created by the evil organization Shocker. Escaping before his brainwashing can be completed, battles for humanity’s freedom as Kamen Rider. 

Wait, that sounds really familiar. That’s because this is the latest in a series of Tokusatsu Reimaginings by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi. This is a new take on the story of Kamen Rider 1971, modernized complete with sleeker suits and stunning music all wrapped up in a 2-hour movie. It also has plenty of Easter Eggs for those of us who are fans of the 1971 series or the Manga it’s based on!

Be warned, this one’s gorier than the other stuff on the list. It’s mostly exaggerated blood splatters, though. I hate that kind of stuff and I’m able to rewatch this movie.

KAMEN RIDER AMAZONS (2016) (Paid)

Amazons is another adult reimagining of a classic Kamen Rider show, but it’s so far removed you don’t really need to know much about the original to enjoy it.

Amazons follows a group of exterminators who have been tasked with eradicating escaped cannibalistic experiments called, well, Amazons. The catch is that they work together with 2 Amazons, Momoru the Mole Amazon, and Haruka, the titular Kamen Rider Amazons. Both of them are tasked with asking themselves ethical questions. Is it so wrong for Amazons to exist? Is it possible to avoid eating people? If it isn’t, then is it WRONG to eat people to survive?

ULTRAMAN

Ok, look, I’m gonna have to make a separate post covering all the free Ultraman stuff there is. Theres SO MUCH OF IT available that I don’t know where to start. We’re about to hit the image limit. If that post is done, it will be linked HERE.

But for a basic idea, there’s tons of stuff on Tubi and the official Ultraman Youtube Channel posts new episodes of the currently airing show.

Nozuchi - Day 81

Race: Snake

Arcana: Moon

Alignment: Neutral

July 29th, 2024

Yōkai and SMT go hand-in-hand, to say the least- as a Japanese series focused around mythology and cryptids, what better chance is there to explore Japanese cryptids? I mean, I guess Yo-kai Watch, but SMT is up there as well in terms of representation for these strange, mystical creatures. Among the scores of yōkai, though, one sticks out to me in specific throughout the series, and specifically in SMT V: Vengeance... mainly in the stupid vacuum cleaner move it can pull off. Yep, today's Demon of the Day is none other than the big-nosed, big-bodied snake, Nozuchi.

Slug-like in shape and known as looking like mallets, these strange beings first date back to 1283 in Shasekishū, a collection of Buddhist stories that speaks of Nozuchi as a strange, snake-like being with only a mouth that would feed on human beings. This was later attested to in Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki, a famous compendium of yōkai, demons, and other such creatures of the night. While I can't find a direct translation of the above text, and I (rather obviously) don't speak Japanese, the books many pages go into several different recorded Yokai, and among them is none other than a giant snake covered in hair- that snake, of course, being Nozuchi.

In Shasekishū, we get a bit more about Nozuchi, the one talked about in the book apparently being a former monk who got into Buddhism, not for pursuing Nirvana or a love of life, but rather to gain great profit. As a punishment of his greed and hubris, upon his death, in the eternal cycle of Saṃsāra he was reincarnated not as a human, nor did he break the cycle- instead, he was born as the Nozuchi. This can be presumed to be the case for all other Nozuchi, as many contemporary depictions describe there being more than just one- now reborn, Nozuchi are blind hunting monsters who seem to attack at random, gobbling up any and everything they can get their mouths on. Most artistic depictions also draw them as being covered in bristly hair, much like that of a caterpillar, and these pitiable yet fearsome creatures attack those who dare to get too near.

As for their depiction in SMT, Nozuchi seem to have taken a strange turn to the absurd, their appearances now taking on the forms of strange, squat clumps of hair with an elephant-like trunk sticking out. I'm unsure as to where this came from, aside from an intentional bastardization of the scant details there are about Nozuchi, but I honestly really quite like it- it's goofy and stupid, but for such a strange creature in the first place, I find it to be rather fitting. Overall, while short and sweet in my research, Nozuchi are a strange warning against greed and serve as some of the many bizarre monsters that reside in Japan.

Patreon Post: Unwilling Sacrifice (Quincy- Nu Carnival)

content warning: Predator/Prey, Tsundere, Rough Sex

You should be more afraid of a playful predator than an aggressive one. A dog snarling, a lion growling, a snake hissing, show that they’re afraid, even just a bit. They want you to back up, they want you to leave.

Playful predators have time. Have patience. Have a streak of mischievous delight in watching you. They look down at you.

What you were never told was what to do with a silent predator.

You knew how to handle Kuya. Play along, and he loses interest. Don’t rise to the bait. Try to look small. As a yokai, you were already safer than most other people, like humans. Kuya had always been your home, one of his preferred little followers, but he had become… Enraptured with the brown haired human that would come by sometimes. You weren’t a big fan of Kuya’s “playful” antics, but it meant things were always interesting.

Maybe the boredom had gotten to you, to the point you absolutely fucked up, to the worst degree.

“Bored… Are you?” Kuya stood above you, purple robes billowing gently despite there being no wind.

“I-I d-didn’t see you there, m-my-”

“Good thing you didn’t.” He replied airly, his grin too big for his elegant face. “I would never have learned that my favourite little pet was oh so bored here.”

You tried to deny it all, you were happy, you just missed Kuya, but you could tell nothing you were saying was actually sitting with him. He was just nodding, smiling as you stammered before putting an arm around your shoulders, ushering you away from the others. His hand even drifted down to curl his fingers into the soft fur of your tail.

“I would never want you to be bored~” He murmurs, nosing along your ear. “Why don’t I set you up with a playdate with my friend?”

His friend. The silent predator. Quincy.

Your soft, silky clothes were ripped, filthy as you tried to hide in the underbrush. Your breathing felt far too loud, so much so you doubt you could even hear any branches or leaves cracking underfoot. But you knew it was fruitless. You could feel his eyes no matter where you went.

With a desperate whine, you began to crawl deeper into the foliage, just needing to be able to get out of the forest and back home, that’s all Kuya wanted from you. He’d never put you in… Direct danger, would he? Maybe in a precarious, embarrassing position, but not… Dead? The words he left you with, was that since he wasn’t up to parr for your entertainment, why doesn’t his lovely friend see to it? You whine to yourself again, worried about what that meant. What good could come from being hunted by a lonely, quiet hunter?

Well, he could tell you… Show you… If only you poked those cute little ears up again.

Quincy could practically smell you. Scared little thing, your perfume sweet and foreign against the natural, earthy scent of the forest. He’d never thank Kuya, not for as long as he lives, but he needed this so badly. Saliva pooled on his tongue as he crept through the foliage, blending perfectly in spite of his stocky build. It was cute that you thought that he was going to hurt you. Not you. A little yokai who was stumbling around, getting smacked in the face with low hanging branches and ripping your clothes. But even Quincy wasn’t able to properly formulate what he wanted, not even to himself. He could rut into Eiden day after day and still struggle to actually speak his desires… Which he usually ignored anyway. But he has a taste now. A taste that curled on his tongue and it tinged the air around him as he made his way towards you.

Scared, quivering little thing.

Quincy had never gotten to get his hands on a yokai like you before. One of Kuya’s favourite little attendants, and the way you were actually… Scared? Of him? Was delicious. Kuya was the maestro of his craft, and you must have picked up some tips from him. You also knew the tricky fox bastard. Yet you were shaking in your little boots because of him?

Whilst pondering this, another thought slipped into Quincy’s mind.

Has Kuya fucked you?

Normally the thought of getting the bastard’s… “Sloppy Seconds” as Eiden gleefully called it, he would be pissed. Annoyed. Would throw you back into Kuya’s face. That image does make Quincy’s lips twitch. But he’s not angry.

He’d gladly take any chance to taste a Yokai, especially you. Cute little thing.

The sound of a branch breaking has his eyes pinning to your form, trying to trot away as quickly as possible. Pathetic.

You don’t even hear him. A harsh force shoving you from behind, sending you tumbling into the leaves and dirt. The massive weight against your back has you gasping, struggling to inhale before it lifted and you were roughly turned onto your back.

“D-Don’t hurt me!” You gasped out, before actually looking up at your attacker, stunned. It’s… The hunter.

And the hunter has a hard on.

That hard on was fucking your insides into the shape of his cock. He didn’t even say anything. Just desperately started tearing at your clothes and you just gaped at him. Fucked is better than dead. Much better.

Bruises were pressed into your hips, blooming over your skin as you were roughly jerked down, onto his cock over and over again. Bites trailed all up your throat, before Quincy licks into your mouth. He was so selfish with his own pleasure, so it was purely by accident that he had brought you to orgasm thrice over already. Fat, cruel cock, using your hole like one of those fleshlights Eiden had talked about. The hunter made no noises, his harsh breaths loud in your ears.

Something in your gut knew that you were not going to be set free for a long time, but being drained of orgasm after orgasm was worth it.

WIP Ask

I was tagged by @shikonstar (thank youuuu ❤💚  to share the last seven lines of my WIP (I added some more :P)

(More Than Blood, chapter VI “Totosai”)

Inuyasha was tired of hearing about his half-brother, all he wanted was to get the sword so he and Guin could be on their way. “Alright, I get it; my father didn’t want that bastard to have it. I don’t want that bastard to have it. So how do I get it then, old man?!”

“I told you, Inuyasha, I don’t know how to access its hiding place, only where it’s vaguely located,” Totosai was beginning to lose his patience, but Inuyasha honestly didn’t care. “He only gave vague instructions, saying that the right people would understand.”

“Then where is it?!” The boy yelled, finally losing all his patience at the neverending riddles; Guinevere instantly picked him up and sat him in her lap to try and comfort him when he became agitated.

“In the place where your father saw your mother for the first time,” Totosai revealed with a sigh.

Inuyasha felt like mangling all of the old man’s belongings. How the hell was that helpful? When his mother had told him how they’d met, Izayoi had only mentioned a sakura tree and how they had spent hours talking. His mother always seemed to die a little bit inside every time the little hanyo had asked to know about his father. Seeing—and smelling—her grief had prompted the boy to stop asking altogether if only to spare her from her neverending pain. “That doesn’t really help,” he muttered in defeat. Guinevere holding him tight helped him calm down slightly.

Totosai looked sympathetically at him. “I wish I could give you more, Inuyasha, but that’s the only information your father left for me.”

The boy sank further into Guinevere’s embrace if only to calm his darkening mood; he had let Myoga talk him into searching for that damned sword, had let the old man fuel his hopes of obtaining something that connected him to both his parents. Now, that hope was slowly slipping away.

It was unfair.

The flea yokai cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention. “I-I know where that tree is located,” his tone holding a sense of caution that Inuyasha found strange.

He knew he should be ecstatic that Myoga knew the location, but something inside was giving him a sense of dread. “Where?” His voice was small, almost breathless; somehow, he was terrified of the answer.

“The palace grounds,” Myoga replied, almost bracing himself for whatever angry reaction would come his way.

He knew, somehow he knew it would be that cursed place, even though he hadn’t really known. Inuyasha remembered that tree; he and his mother had spent most of their afternoons sitting under its shade. Izayoi never told him the significance of that particular tree; he just knew she was very fond of it. “Is it still there?” He asked, trying so hard to not show how terrified he was of Myoga’s answer.

The small yokai nodded minutely, “yes, Master Inuyasha. The tree survived the fire.”

Guinevere remained silent throughout the exchange, worried about Inuyasha. Very worried; she could sense his distress rising to alarming levels, and she guessed the palace in question was the same one the little boy had been chased off—and set on fire to murder the boy—over a year ago. Getting up and walking to the firepit; she decided it was time to take a break from the subject. “The fish are ready, Inuyasha. Shall we eat?”

Inuyasha smiled brightly at her, grateful for the reprieve. “Yes, Guin.” Thank you.

The group ate in silence, and Guinevere decided she wouldn’t let the men upset her boy for the rest of the night. They could discuss the sword the following morning

What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

Ooo! I think it was chapter 3 of Dead Man’s Deal?

The scene where the turtle gang are celebrating their victory in Hueso’s pizzeria and listen in on the conversation about Big Mama’s newest champion! I remember the rush it gave me writing it all down!

It all played so vividly in my mind, especially the way the lion placed his hand over his mouth to reenact a fight he watched.

“But it doesn’t! It gets stuck and I was in the seat right in front of the action, and I swear I heard something like a shunk! It sounded like something getting caught, like when I’m cutting through a package and my blade gets stuck. Anyways, Barbarian, that crazy bastard, grabs the lizard’s snout like this,” he grabs his own face to replicate his story. “And slams the lizard into the wall next to him. Now, the gator is shocked! The Barbarian took out three yokai easy!”

And a favorite scene I would have to say also comes from DMD (chapter 8?) where F!Leo is saying his goodbyes to Draxum and packing up his things to move back into the lair. Their hug was so cute to me and I loved every second writing it.

“Your arm suits you,” Draxum suddenly says as he stares at the metallic prosthetic.

Leo raises his prosthetic and twists it to show it. “Nice isn’t it? Donnie fixed it up for me, works like a dream.”

Without any time to process it, Draxum grabs the prosthetic and pulls Leo in for a brief hug before he’s shoved out the door. Mikey is standing in front of him, sharing the same surprised expression. The younger turtle looks between Leo and the door, trying to make sense of what happened.

DMD was such a fun writing experience and revived my dying love for writing! Thank you for asking!

Final part~

Kon! au (3)

Hannya and his monsters never stood a chance against The Nameless Kitsune.

They were all were eaten before they even knew what was happening, thus Shibuya returned to normal once again.

But Akito and KK didn't see the event, as The Nameless Kitsune ordered them to stay behind. She could end everything faster than they ever could.

With the mist gone, and the visitors/yokai disappearing from Shibuya, Akito just hoped that his 'mom' got to Mari before it was too late...

To his surprise, KK tries to comfort him. "I'm sure your... 'mom', took care of that bastard and saved your sister kid."

Akito smiles slightly. "Your right KK. She's probably on her way back with Mari now.

The wraith suddenly snorts. "Heh. What I wouldn't give to see that bastard's reaction your 'mom'. He probably pissed his pants at the sight of her!" Akito laughs as well. His 'mom' was quite terrifying when she wanted to be!

"Hm? What did that parasite say to make you laugh like that little one?" Akito jumps when his 'mom's' voice suddenly echos around him.

"Mom!" Akito turns to greet her when he freezes. His 'mom' wasn't alone. A healed up Mari was standing right beside her. "Aki!"

"Mari!" Akito darts over to his sister and nearly crushes her in a tight hug, whispering how he was so glad she was alright now.

A cough beside them makes Akito realize Mari wasn't the only human his 'mom' brought back with her.

Beside the massive Kitsune was two other humans. An older woman and a girl Mari's age.

"Rinko?! Erika?!" KK's voice was loud with disbeilef.

Akito eyed the females curiously "You know them KK?"

"Hell yeah I know them! These two are part of my team!"

KK's team... "So they're your friends?" KK denies it. "No! We aren't friends!" Akito had a feeling that was completely untrue, so he just smiles in amusment.

"So you're the unlucky guy who's stuck having KK in your head. Tell me, how are you handling that idiot?" This was the first thing Rinko says when Akito introduces himself to her and Erika.

"Idiot?! You bi-" Akito ignores KK's yells with a cheerful grin. "I just learned to tune him out when he's being annoying." KK makes an odd sound, clearly not liking being the butt of the joke going on between Rinko and Akito.

Rinko grins. "I like you. KK, if you can hear me, don't do anything to scare this kid off! We need more people like him!" KK just mutters a quiet, "Oh, fuck off!", and Akito laughs. "He hears you loud and clear!"

Erika was more quiet, and maybe a little scared. She was leaning against Rinko's side with a sad expression on her face.

Turns out the reason Erika was so scared was because her father was the one who started this whole mess to begin with. Her father being Hannya himself, and apparently, when The Nameless Kitsune went to take care of him, he was about to murder his own daughter!

"I did not think I would be able hate a single human more than I did with that flea. To even attempt to kill your own offspring..." The Nameless Kitsune bristled as she remembered seeing Erika being held down by Hannya, who was about to kill her with his own hands, and she just snapped.

Now with all annoyances gone, The Nameless Kitsune gathered up a healed up Mari, KK's now soulless body, and Erika. Rinko joined them not to long afterwards.

"As much as I'm happy to see everyone is alright, I really want to get back into my own body now!" KK didn't know how much longer he could actually stay in Akito's body. He was starting to get really tired...

"Mom? Where's KK's body? You said you-" Akito's cut off by his 'mom' suddenly spiting something out her maul. Whatever it was lands on the ground with a wet splat.

It was KK's body covered in yokai drool.

"There. I ate the soul that was originally in it so it is just a empty husk now." The Nameless Kitsune turns all her red eyes on Akito, staring directly at KK's soul within him. "Now get out of my kit's body parasite!"

That was easier said than done. It took a few tries, but with the help of a katashiro, Akito manages to transfer KK's soul out of his body, and back over to the older man's original body.

"Okay. That disgusting." Rinko makes a face of disgust as she watches KK try to stand up in all that yokai drool.

"Ew!" Mari joins in with by making gagging sounds.

Erika doesn't say anything, but her face clearly said she was grossed out as well.

Akito on the other hand? He just laughed.

"Stop fucking laughing at me you brat!" KK's face was red with rage as Akito just laughed harder.

Despite being laughed at and covered head to toe in yokai drool, KK couldn't help but smile at Akito laughter.

Maybe all the hell he went through tonight was worth it in the end...

"What are you smiling at parasite?" The Nameless Kitsune's head was suddenly right next to KK, causing the yokai hunter to yelp and fall back into the puddle of drool with a curse.

"Nothing!" KK looks away with a scowl as he tried to stand up again. A hand suddenly grabs one of his arms, steadying him. It was Akito.

"W-wait! You'll get drool on you too!" KK tries to pull away, but Akito just rolls his eyes and comes closer. "KK. You think this is the first time I dealt with my mom's drool?" It was true. The Nameless Kitsune use to give the siblings 'baths' when they were younger.

"Come on old man. Let's get you back to your place so you can shower." KK huffs, but let's the younger man help him.

After seeing how her kits would be alright now, The Nameless Kitsune finally let's herself relax. "I will be back later on to check on you my kits. Stay safe, and I love you so much." She disappears in a puff of smoke, leaving nothing behind to show she was even there in the first place.

The group ends up crashing at KK's place. It was cramped, but they made it work. The girls took the living room, while KK and Akito took the only bedroom.

"Akito." Akito glances up from where he was setting up the futons on the floor to see KK drying his hair by the door. "Yeah KK?"

KK tosses the towel to the side and plops down beside Akito. For a momnet, the older man doesn't say anything, but after taking a second, he says, "Thank you."

Akito wasn't sure why KK was thanking him. He didn't do anything worth being thanked.

Turns out KK disagrees with that statement. "If you hadn't been here when everything went to shit, Hannya would've won, and I would've died for real."

Akito looks away with a huff. "But I didn't do anything KK. It was all mom's doing."

"And your mom did it because you asked her too. Don't you see? You asking her to stop Hannya saved so many lifes, inculding your sister, my team, and even me. You're a hero Akito."

A hero? Him? Akito never thought anyone would call him that of all things!

KK nods with a playful grin. "You're my hero kid." The way KK said 'my' made Akito blush. It sounded almost possessive....

"Are you done flirting with the kid yet, KK?" Rinko was by the door, glaring in. "Me and the girls are going to sleep, so do us all a favor and shut up." She shuts off the lights and slams the door, leaving the two men in darkness.

They get under the covers, but Akito doesn't go to sleep. Rinko's words kept repeating in his head. "KK?"

"What?"

"Were you flirting with me eariler?"

"...Yeah. I was. Does it make you uncomfortable?"

"...No. I kinda like it."

Akito hears KK take a deep breath."If your mom doesn't eat me first," KK grabs one of Akito hands, squeezing it. "Can I have the honor of taking you out on a date tomorrow?"

Akito squeezes KK's hand back. "A date sounds nice KK."

A date with KK did sound really nice...

As long as Akito's 'mom' didn't try to eat KK first that is.

"Good, don't ya give up, Myyrin, you're makin' a difference even if it's one step at a time,"

Knowing that they were kindred spirits in that regard was nice, he supposed, maybe more than just nice, actually. As bad as it was to think of, both of them had been through a lot at the hands of people around them, in the Oni's case, the humans he'd lived around, in hers, her peers at the Akademiya. It was a terrible situation, really, but all the same, they couldn't really do much more than they already were. They were still living, moving forward, and never looking back.

In that way, they'd already long since won.

"They ain't lonely if ya make 'em comfortable, I can get behind that thought myself. I'm pretty social but I also have times where I keep quiet, or just to myself."

The local vegetable he added wasn't something people would likely think of using, but there were also others, and all of them were within his seasoning mixture, too. So technically, they could be preserved, since he added them to seasonings he used in a lot of dishes. He'd chuckle softly at her question regardless, wondering if she'd grow concerned about if she was eating bugs in soup or something, but it wasn't bugs. He wasn't the kind of guy who would add such a thing to a soup, or any dish for that matter.

"Well, it ain't bugs I can tell ya that much. I added a bit of sea grass which ya can buy in most grocers, and some Naku Weed to help with pullin' the excess Electro out, a friend of mine uses Naku Weed to make salves and stuff, they help with Electro, too."

He could tell she was planning on experimenting on herself again at some point, but having access to his recipe would help her recover quicker, and it wasn't a soup that took too long to prepare despite the depth of flavor the broth had. He could give her a container of the seasoning that helped to create the broth, so she could use it herself as well. He had a feeling she'd use it for more than just the soup but that was kind of the point with it in the first place.

"What I was able to learn from the descendants of the humans a lot of my kind lived around, was that they all suddenly fell ill, and died within a short time. Prior to seein' me when I approached to ask, none of 'em were even aware there were any left, there's a huge amount of headstones with tons of Crimson Oni names on 'em in one area."

His clan had all lived in a fairly large location, among various humans that were both kind, and creative. The ones lost, had been buried, and had stones erected with their names carved in Inazuman script upon them. He didn't know his parents, or grandparents names anymore due to his memory issue, but the moment he learned them, or remembered, he was going to pay his respects to them, and the rest of his fallen clan. Despite knowing that their spirits were likely no longer roaming due to what the Guuji had done a few years back, she'd freed the souls of the fallen Yokai and allowed them to fly once again prior to vanishing into the night.

"Accordin' to Kabukimono, I was a victim of that cockroach when I was younger, my memory issue may stem from that man, and my reactions to various medical things, and scents are apparently things shared by... those who have managed to survive his experiments. I don't remember anythin' from back then, so it's entirely possible my memory issues stem from whatever he did to me."

It was also entirely possible that his people had been wiped out by one of the other experiments Dottore did, the timing fit as he'd been in Inazuma at the time the illness hit, and spread. Whatever he was, it was absolutely not human. A mad scientist who sought to capture and hurt others for his own cruel experiments was nothing short of a sadistic bastard. He was a dangerous man that much was absolutely certain, but whether he was a psychopath or merely a sadistic sociopath remained to be seen, and the Yokai had no want nor reason to fall into his hands again.

"As for the loss of knowledge of my kind, a lot of it was lost to time, supposedly. What little there is... isn't much, it mostly mentions another Oni with my surname who took part in the fights durin' the cataclysm five-hundred years ago."

Myyrin smiled softly at Itto's words, a flicker of warmth sparking in her chest. “No way,” she replied with a slight chuckle, shaking her head. “I’d never let what they say affect how I see things. It hurts sometimes, sure, and it can get pretty lonely, but if I let them win, then I’d be giving them power over me. And I’m far too petty for that.” She grinned mischievously, the humor in her eyes reflecting a determination that ran deep.

“So, I’ll take my lonely corners and turn them into cozy little nooks of my own. If they want to underestimate me, let them. I’ll keep working, keep creating."

Curiosity sparked as she thought about the soup’s ingredients. “Speaking of surprises, what’s the local ingredient in your soup? Is it something I can preserve? Maybe by dehydration or freeze-drying? It’d be handy to have on hand for when I need to make it again, especially since I’ll be crafting that potion for Balethunder effects.” She tilted her head, genuinely interested, her mind already racing with ideas on how to incorporate his recipe into her own experiments. Did that imply that she was going to experiment with herself again? Yes, yes it did.

Her expression grew contemplative as she continued, “But I have to wonder… what if there was some foul play involved with the disappearance of your kind? If all records of the Crimson Oni were deliberately erased… that would be a huge undertaking, wouldn’t it? I mean, traces of any species or civilization are usually there in some form—relics, fossils, bones, even ruins or remnants of clothing. It’s like history has a way of leaving behind clues, no matter how much people might try to erase it.”

She paused, her brow furrowing slightly as she considered the implications. “It just feels… intentional, doesn’t it? Like someone wanted to erase all evidence of your existence” She met his gaze, her expression shifting to one of curiosity mixed with a touch of concern. “I can’t help but wonder why they’d want to erase an entire species from history. It’s not just cruel; it feels deliberate. The past holds so much value, and to just wipe it away… it’s as if they want to control the narrative.”

The Wulf's Eye: RP Journal #125 | Wellness & Balance

The last few days have been socially adventurous, and well-- spare for my hunt with 'Otosan'.

Scilla and I received such an abrupt call from Nish and Ranmaru recommending that we go to a venue they thought we would like. Supposedly it had good food, good drink, a bath house, and pretty rooms. It had been a while since Scilla and I had a date night, so we definitely took the chance to go that same day. It was lovely, and the owner was quite kind especially after knowing we were connected to Ranmaru and Nish. The room Scilla picked out was an eastern floral style, private bath.. ponds filled with koi and waterfalls. It was SO beautiful.

The following day I had a hunt planned with Inigo. We took on the 'Stampede' mark. A bunch of incredibly aggressive mammoths that hadn't let up on terrorizing the Qestir, so we set out for the Steppe. Hadn't been there since the Mogui incident, so it was.. refreshing to see a normal issue occuring within the Steppe instead of corrupt bastards possessing their bodies. I will say, I'm thankful that I decided to go in my wolf form because.. those damn mammoths crushed several bones in my damn body, given they kept calling for their bretheren to stomp us out. Though, we managed and now we have mammoth meat for all kinds of dishes, hide, and trinkets. Seems Pops and I get along the best on the field. I can get used to that.

Ironically, the following day we had time to recover and it was the Nightraid Network's volunteered Wellness Exams. Some friends and staff volunteered to help; Shai, Scilla, Natsume, Marce, Krysanthe, Chihiro. At first it was quiet, but then it got QUITE busy with patients to a point where everyone was occupied. Kenta and Scilla helped make some pre-made bentos for our patients to take for free alongside their exams. Lazurite hung out with me in the waiting room for the entire time, and it was nice to chat and have company whilst everyone else was busy for the most part. Though, he didn't get a checkup. Not that I'd push it, but maybe one day he will change his mind? I ended up playing the shamisen in the waiting room to occupy myself once Lazurite departed for the evening. It was moving to see a lot of people come to get their health checked.

To finish this journal off, more exciting news! I had the opportunity to meet up with a publishing company known as 'Torii Gates'. They were interested to hear and write to the public and their readers about the Nightraid Network's purpose, and my movement to educate the public about the co-existence of yokai within the Far East and outwards. I met with Xanatos and his partner Nyleith, and both were quite pleasant to chat with. They carried themselves well during the interview, and were quite curious themselves once I began to explain what the Spiritual Balance meant, and more information about yokai in general. They wanted to hear a bit about my lineage as well, and how I came to take up this purpose willingly. Both voiced adamancy about educating their readers with the preachings I've offered, as well as the recognition of the seminars I've held. Seems they both want to attend one of my seminars one of these days, which made me quite happy. We spoke about ah.. the book I've been slowly piecing together at my own pace. He said he'd immediately order a copy of it and let the public know more about my seminars.

Something to look forward to! For now I have a poison-obssessed hostage to deal with in our cells.

A few minutes later...

Into the sheriff's place there she along with the a couple of her deputies who stares at the dead body of a woman who had been infected by the disease after giving birth to a hybrid of a beast person ( A horse ), the tyranosaurus Rex, and Velociraptor. This woman was apart of the Keiga clan who had been missing for a while. They try nursing her back to help but the virus lethality rate is unlike anything they ever see and so after in the process of giving birth she died and her body is covered in a blanket. Anton came by after hearing the commotion of another outsider die by the virus this time being the keiga clan member.

" Howdy Sheriff, heard you got a body here. This is the second one this week. "

Sheriff maple the calm, collective and the so tired of this shit sheriff welcomed her into her jail while smoking a cigar.

" Sherry Anton, Just what I need in this hour. Yeah this not a yokai by the way. It's one of them Keiga clan folk... "

" Say wha-? "

" Found her a few days ago in a state of agony. The screams haunt me ever since yesterday. Couldn't left the poor girl out alone to suffer or get eaten by those big ol' deinonychus so I calm our pack dogs and took her in. "

" Oh my god, what about the baby? Did it make it...? "

" Yeah she hit her head hard face flat on the ground cracking her egg too. I fear that fall's gonna screw her up in the future. "

" ....What should we do with the kid now? Ya know we can't keep ignoring this. All this is gonna spook more town folk here and the Maquis is gonna come here and kill us. "

" Those bastards can try shorty I come prepared with my rifle and my cigarettes. Yeah, I agree with you I'm doing everything I can to let people know what the hell's going on and not leading to the god damn fear mongering and the conspiracy theorists bullshit. "

" Also I want you to do me a favor and you might not like it... "

Uh oh.

" ....Sheriff I don'tike where this is going. "

Hoooooow about Leosagi First Meeting and Impressions?! Sprinkle in whatever you want in that, go wild! 👀

Ask and ye shall receive!

---

First Impressions

As far as first impressions go, this isn't the worst.

Sure, trying to save a stranger in the Hidden City from a gang of Yokai kidnappers (and look cool doing it as a treat) isn't an ideal way of making friends, but if it works, it works, right?

Except it didn't.

“Hey. Are you awake?”

Leo takes a deep breath and sighs. “Yup,” he pops, staring blearily at his lap. “Didn't sleep much anyways.”

“Me neither,” the stranger replies. Leo hasn't gotten around to asking him his name. Probably due to his plan to save him ending with Leo being beaten up, disarmed and kidnapped with him.

So, yeah. Not the best first impression. 

Still, what was he supposed to do? Just ignore someone in danger? Even if they looked like they could handle themselves—the fight had been brief but Leo would be blind not to notice the rabbit Yokai's skill and grace with his blade, faster than anything Leo had ever seen. 

Even so, the goons had numbers and size on their side, and really, Leo should have, could have, portalled them to safety rather than show off only to get rinsed. Pride will always be his downfall.

(And cute rabbit samurai boys, apparently.) 

Leo squirms, adjusting his numb body as much as he's able. His ass is asleep, and he can't feel his fingers. “Yeah, sorry,” he mutters. “Turtles don't exactly make the best pillows.”

“No, that's not it.” The other boy shifts, tugging the ropes binding them back to back around their chests. His voice is rough with exhaustion, but Leo can hear a smile in it. “Your shell is actually quite comfy.”

“Oh,” Leo blinks. “Really?” 

“Yes. It's the, uh... well, everything else that kept me awake. Also, I'm certain I've lost circulation in my wrists now.”

The boy flexes his fingers, accidentally brushing Leo's where they're tied behind his shell. He just fights a shiver. “Y-Yeah,” he clears his throat. “Yeah. As far as kidnappings go, this is one of the most uncomfortable. If I lose a finger because someone got too eager with knots, I'll sue.”

The boy snorts. “You'll sue them for that but not the beating and kidnapping?”

Leo shrugs, jostling the ropes again. Man, this is uncomfortable. “What can I say? A turtle has standards.”

The boy snickers. “Well, should this ever happen again, I shall refer my kidnappers to you for constructive criticism.”

Leo barks a laugh. “Trust me, buddy, I know what I'm talking about.”

“Considering our predicament, I'm not sure that's something to be bragging about.”

“That's how I cope.”

“Then you should see a professional.”

“Ugh, you sound like my brother.”

“He sounds like a wise turtle.”

“You haven't met him. He's an asshole.”

The boy chuckles, and another silence falls, lighter than the last. Leo takes the time to look around their temporary prison. The back of the loaded pick-up truck, loaded with all manner of junk from useless to semi-useful, boxes them in close enough for Leo to feel claustrophobic. Small drilled holes shed little light but offer a generous amount of air so they don't suffocate before the transfer. Wherever or whenever that is. 

How long has it been since they were caught and stuffed in here? Hours? Maybe a day? Leo couldn't check even if he did have his phone.

The guys are gonna kill me.

(Unless these Yokai kill you first) a nasty voice whispers. Leo shakes his head and buries the thought deep with every other bad thought. 

Focus. They need to get out of here. The bastards had taken Leo's swords and shuriken and the other boy's sick-looking katanas. There has to be something in here they can use, right? A mystic buzz-saw? A piece of broken glass—?

A sheen catches his eye. Leo whips his head to find it—

His face drops.

“... Hey, um... how long have our swords been sitting there?”

The boy jolts, twisting and pulling the ropes to follow Leo's eyes. Leo wheezes, but the rabbit pays no heed and gapes at their swords resting innocently against the far wall. “Seriously? Seriously.”

Leo rolls his eyes. “Rule number two of kidnapping: don't leave sharp things or your captives' weapons within reach or view of said captives.”

“Sorera no baka!”

“Agreed.” He cranes his neck to grin at the rabbit, firmly ignoring how close their noses are and wow, his eyes are so pink, nearly red but softer. “What say we blow this popsicle stand, my good man?”

The rabbit blinks those big pink eyes. “I'm not sure what that means, but if it involves leaving, certainly.” He grins back, flashing two adorably big front teeth—

Oh, Leo is screwed.

He clears his throat again—is it hot in here, why's he so sweaty?—and turns around. “Cool! Cool cool cool. Alright, let's do this, uh... Can you stand?”

Lucky for them, the goons had bound their hands but not their ankles, so getting up is—not easy but manageable with minimal noise. It's easier still to shuffle towards their conveniently placed weapons and crouch low enough for them to start cutting away at the ropes. So far, so good.

Leo sawed away, the rabbit keeping an ear out for commotion outside. Halfway through, Leo swallowed what (stupid, stupid) pride he had left and spoke up. “Um... so, I think I should apologise.”  

The rabbit twitched. “Hm?”

Leo bit his lip. God, he hates this. “I mean, y'know... for getting us into this mess. I don't know why these guys are after you, but if it weren't for me, you'd have probably gotten away safe. I just... I was trying to play the 'cool hero' again to think 'hey, maybe this is a dangerous situation and getting caught would be a very bad thing!', y'know? I'm workin' on it, but...”

Another silence. Leo saws away and ducks his head. 

Then the bunny huffs. “I will admit, watching teleport and deciding not to use it to get us out of there was not your best idea.” 

Leo wilts like a flower, but the bunny isn't done. 

“However, I will also admit that I could have run from the fight instead of trying to tackle six bounty hunters alone.” He chuckles mirthlessly. “My sensei always told me my pride would be my downfall.” 

Leo almost stops sawing. He looks over his shoulder to find the bunny looking back, an awkward smile on his face. Face hot and chest warm with something new, Leo mirrors it. “Guess there's something we both need to work on,” he says.

The bunny snickers and Leo is sure he's not imagining the pink dusting on furry freckled cheeks. “Indeed. Perhaps, fates permitting...” he shrugs, “we could work on it together?”

Oh, sweet Hot Soup in the sky this is the best day of my life!

“Y-Yeah!” Leo squeaks—shit—then clears his throat. “Yeah. Yeah, we could, uh, totally do that! For sure.”

“Good. Also, I... I never caught your name.”

“Oh! Uh, it's Leonardo, but everyone calls me Leo. Or Leon, or Lee, or Nardo, but mostly Leo.” Shut the hell up mouth, you're embarrassing me! “W-What's your name?”

And there's that dorky stupid smile again. “Miyamoto Usagi.”

Again, Leo mirrors it just as the ropes finally snap. “Usagi. Cool.”

When the goons finally come to check on their cargo, they only have time to gawk as the turtle and the rabbit, grinning wide and cheeky, fall through the floor in a flash of blue.

Leo finds his phone blown up with several missed calls, worried texts and voice mails, and a new number in his contacts.

Not a bad first impression after all.

Send me more requests if you like :3

[aeempress]

I think a lot about Rise movie, some people send me some stuff for analysis, i just need time to cook it up.

And those guys are breaking my heart, so...

It was so... sudden. World on fire, smoke covered the sun and - and Kraangs. Bloodlusted. Everywhere. Leaving behind nothing but ruination and piles of bodies.

Still, they'd survived. Only god knows how - they had survived.

It almost made her suffocate, only thought of how many they lost and still hope was in there. April fought. Fought and led people and yokai into the battle, again and again. Over and over.

Decades in battles, decades in misery and it still hurt when losing comrades. But April's heart became harsher, getting bulletproof that's why she's commander.

She told herself that every morning but at night it was almost unbearable, because she remembered every one who fell, everyone who was injured and hurt. Every one who lost.

He holds out a coffee - capsuled one, brewed by him in beakers and April feels a taste, a forgotten taste. She is freezing and wanting to cry.

It's taste of home, of better future even though she knows - Donnie made it not from coffee itself, it's just chemicals. Softshell smiles warmly, trying to cheer commander up. No, not commander - his old friend.

- You should rest, Donnie, - April whispers and cannot look away. Cannot ignore his bandages, cannot forget his scars. Battle scars. And even worse - Donnie forgot about himself again. He wasn't like that when he was a teenager.- Your bandage, - she speaks in steel voice - no objection allowed.

- I was busy, - Don's voice is tired and full of guilty softness. - I've tried to deal with supplies, with armor... But I get nothing. Not enough material... Not enough hands even with -

- Dee. Look at me, - she come closer to take of his battleshell, looking at his eyes. - Rebellion needs you. Alive. You shouldn't kill yourself like that.

- I... Know. I know. I just... Want to help, here. Help you, - his hands covers her back, mirroring her own.

- You will help me if you just stay by my side. Deal? - she looks at his face and smiles.

- Deal. - She almost forgot the sound of laughter. It was ages since she see him like that. No just only messages.

April knows where his first aid kit is, she knows how to renew a bandage, and being here, at his modest, almost ruined lab feels like home. For a moment she can forget about this burden on her shoulder and just be. Be with him.

Waiting when his brothers returns back to the base.

She stays at his place, April doesn't want to leave him now. She's not always commander, Donnie reminds her of that, she's also a women who need a strong shoulder who may carry her a little until she is recharging.

With Donnie it's home, bitter coffee without milk and strange, synthetic chocolate. It's home within his arms, it's home - they both only can sleep when together.

April wants to stay a little longer. But when it's a war, you have no time for everything what seemed normal back then.

April shivered and wiped away the tears. Her bed is cold and no one here to warm her up at night and made believe she's not alone, she's safe.

***

Donnie is near, with her - April peeks out from the shelter to feed with amo those bastards. They need backup, supplies are getting thin, it's almost hopeless.

His magic is only thing that covered them, the only way why her people are still holding. April hopes on hope they can make it, they will get through of Kraang's death ring.

- There's no way, - she whispers. - Donnie, - April grabs his hand and squeeze it a little. His eyes are troubled, but April's too fast - she's getting explosive packages. - Wish me luck.

- April! - his scream almost tears her apart but she need to.

She runs fast, really fast, managing to put some bullets at those brainfaces. No time for gasping for breath, it rather her life or those motherfuckers.

Package is delivered - April hears the explosion and someone pulls her to himself protecting her from the blast wave.

Her head is about to explode, heart is racing. Vile screams from pain and agony, like wet pig squeal - Kraangs are still alive. No time to think, no time for hesitation - she grabbed her gun to protect them both.

Donnie is shooting back with all he's got - but It's too many, explosions, screams - it's all mixing and hope is sliding away.

- You need to retreat, - Donnie yells. - Collect all you've got - this way we increase -

- I ain't retreat, we lose it all! - bullets deafen. - It's them or us now, we -

Its lasher is lethally fast. People are buried beneath, April clenches her teeth and does everything to gain extra minutes before help arrives.

- April, retreat, - Donnie is stubborn and unshakable.

All is on fire, people are dying. And she can't do anything. She has no plan, they have no plan, they only can survive this for a week with low supplies.

- Don -

She was pushed. Explosion wave burns everything to the ground. Everything is messy, everything is so noisy, but the arms hording her - April's blinking, and then smelling something bad.

Blood. At her.

His shaking gaze - at this noise she can't hear anything.

- DONNIE! - she is yelling, tears are down at her face. - DONNIE!

April can't get through the wall of his magic, she can't do nothing but trying to punch the wall out of rage. He's still alive and try to keep it up.

Protect her - she taste his blood at lips.

"April", - he begs, she can hear his voice through vox. - "Lead people out. Rebellion needs you"

- IT NEEDS YOU TOO! WITHOUT YOU -

"April, please... Listen to me". - he gasped for breath. - "I can't hold it any longer".

- DONNIE!

"I always lov-"

Vox is shuttered, he's still there.

April jumped at bed, couldn't breathe. She was gasping, heart was about to tear apart one more time. This nightmare wouldn't leave her alone, and it even worse, because it's so realistic excepting one thing - he died covering her body by his own.

***

His bandana at Leo's katana, his bandana at her wrist, it's all over. His body was so damaged, only purpled mask remained. April made deep breath and fired back no matter how badly her wounds are.

Casey's their only hope.

She had to do everything to send him back, she had to protect him by all cost. Avenge everyone. Master Splinter. Raph. Draxum. Cass. Big Mama. Donnie.

Blood covered her face, April could see nothing but red. Pain is unbearable she almost spaced out a few times.

Click. Click - click. The fuse. She's out of amo.

- Fuck, - April was trying to rip the pin off the grenade with trembling fingers, but from weakness it is not possible even from fourth time. Throwing a grenade is also a test, and April can hold no longer. She couldn't do it anymore - she's getting sleepy. Terrible sleepy.

It was so cold, she could freeze to death but now she was drifting at something warm - maybe her own blood. She had to resist. She had to fight. Had to keep going. Rebellion needs her.

Warm fingers are touching her cheeks and it's hard - keep eyes open. But Don is here, smiling at her.

- You need a rest, commander O'Neil, - his grin and voice are so soft.

- Dee... - it's hard to move her lips. To breathe.

- Shhh, that's okay. It's okay. You did your best. - Something hot and sharp as razor scratches the cheeks. Eyes hurt, and Donnie here to wipe away all of her fears.

- Stay, - she begs and breathe is shaking.

- Sure, - softshell smiles back. His arms are soft and gentle. - Close your eyes, April. - Donnie holds her. She sees others. Splints. Raph.

Not Leo. Nor Mikey. Nor Casey.

It's all getting small.

"I'm sorry, guys".

Commander O'Neil couldn't make it.

A Grumpy Halloween

Yu Yu Hakusho 100% Maji Battle Halloween Event

The quest "A Grumpy Halloween" was first held on October 11th, 2019. I absolutely love this story, because there's Yukina and Hiei interacting. Also, the guys tease Hiei a lot, and Kurama is enjoying himself so much.

Story: A Halloween party organized by Kurama is held at Yusuke's place. Everyone is getting fired up, but Hiei, who came reluctantly, can't keep up with that ambience. Hiei sneaks out from the party alone in a grumpy mood and Yukina chases after him, but…

Video:

Translation:

 “A Grumpy Halloween”

Kuwabara: Yuukinaaaa-saaan! Happy Halloween!

Kuwabara: Hey, she's not here! I came here to see Yukina-san!

Yusuke: Don't speak so loud all of a sudden. Only Botan is already here.

Botan: Welcome! How about some tea?

Botan: But still, the idea of throwing a Halloween party! Yusuke also does smart things, doesn't he?

Yusuke: It wasn't me. It was Kurama's idea.

Kuwabara: Yukina-san is interested in Halloween, so he suggested throwing a party, right?

Kuwabara: Thanks, Kurama!

 *DING DONG*

Yusuke: Oh, I think they're here, huh?

Kurama: Sorry to have kept you waiting, it took me a while to change clothes.

Botan: Oh my goodness, you nailed it!

Yukina: Ah, um... good evening.

Kuwabara: Yukina-san! Tha, that costume...!

Yukina: I heard we dress up for Halloween, so I was arranged this costume.

Kuwabara: Woohoooooo!! It's the incredible, it looks amazing on you!

Kurama: Hey, there was supposed to be one more person behind me…

Botan: One more person? Did you invite anyone else?

Kurama: Yes, I asked him to come since it's a special occasion.

 *whoosh......*

Hiei: ........

Yusuke: Hiei! You, that costume...

Hiei: ..........

Kuwabara: ...pfft, hehe ... heheheheh...

Yusuke/Kuwabara: Gyahahahahahaha!!

Kuwabara: Uwahahahaha!! What's with that outfit!! You look awesome, man! Gyahahaha!!

Kurama: That's rude ... *chuckle*

Hiei: Annoying bunch.

Yusuke: Whoa, you ain't leaving!

Yukina: Hiei-san, it's a special occasion…

Hiei: ...Tch, have it your way.

Botan: Hohoho, there's no need to be so mad. Let's get this party started!

[The Halloween party starts...]

Kuwabara: Yukina-san! Do you know the origin of Halloween?

Yukina: No … What is it about?

Kuwabara: That is...

Hiei: ........

 Kurama: It's very exciting over there, why don't you enjoy Halloween too?

Hiei: What?

Kurama: I thought you were aware this was coming.

Hiei: That's because you said those things in the first place!

 [Flashback]

Hiei: Halloween party? I refuse. Why do I have to go to that kind of thing?

Kurama: Now, come on, don't say such a thing.

Kurama: Yukina-chan wanted to celebrate Halloween, so I decided to organize a party.

Kurama: I'm thinking of inviting Yusuke, Botan and Kuwabara-kun to the party.

Hiei: Hmph, those guys...

 Kurama: Hiei, did you know? A Halloween party is…

Hiei: I'm not going.

Kurama: Is that so ... but, youkai are coming.

Hiei: What?

Kurama: Yes, Halloween is an event where youkai appear. The youkai are very responsive, you know.

Kurama: But, they only appear before those in costume. Ah, but Hiei won't come, right?

Kurama: Don't worry, Yusuke and Kuwabara-kun will also be there. They'll make sure Yukina-chan and the others won't get harmed.

  [End of flashback]

Kurama: Hahaha, I was just joking...

Hiei: I shouldn't have come.

Kuwabara: Okay? Well, then, here I go!

Kuwabara: Trick or Treat! Give me a treat or I'll play a trick on you!

Yukina: Yes, I'll give you some candy. It's no good to play tricks.

Yukina: … Should I do like this?

Kuwabara: Hahaha! It's perfect! Let's do it again!

Kuwabara: Trick or Treat!!

Hiei: I can't bear to watch it.

Kurama: Ah, Hiei..!

[Hiei leaves the party. Meanwhile on the streets...]

Halloween Yokai: Trick! Or! Treaat!

Halloween youkai: Give me your soul or I'll kill you! Hihihihi!

Hiei: Unlucky bastards.

Hiei: I'm in a bad mood right now.

[At Yusuke's place]

Yukina: Hiei-san…

Kuwabara: Yukina-san! Leave that guy alone, let's have some fun!

Yukina: But … I, I'm off, see you later.

Kuwabara: In that case, I will go with you!!

Botan: Now, now, let Yukina-chan take care of it! I'm sure she'll be back soon.

Botan: And since we're here, let's have some fun!

Kuwabara: Come on, you guys ... Aren't you worried about Yukina-san?

Kuwabara: To think that she's alone with that Hiei!

Yusuke: Don't worry, it's okay, leave them alone.

 [Yukina goes after Hiei...]

Halloween youkai: *shriek* *eek*

Hiei: Rubbish.

Yukina: Youkai...! Are you okay?

Hiei: ...What are you doing here? You should be enjoying Halloween or whatever it's called.

Yukina: Yes, enjoying it along with Hiei-san too...

Hiei: I'm leaving.

Yukina: But…

Hiei: !

Hiei: ...Stay back. Looks like there're still enemies.

Kurama: Excuse me from behind, I'll back you up.

Hiei: You're a guy with a bad taste of peeping.

Kurama: A bad taste you say, how cruel. I can't let just Hiei look cool all the time.

Hiei: I don't need your help.

Kurama: I'm backing you up to prevent you from running wild and causing damage to the surroundings.

Hiei: Hmph...

Hiei: Don't get in my way.

[Hiei and Kurama fight the Halloween youkai]

Halloween Youkai: Gyaaaa!!

Yukina: Ah, thank you…

Hiei: I don't need gratitude.

Yukina: But, you have eliminated them to protect me.

Yukina: Uh ... would you like to go back to the party?

Hiei: I'm not coming back.

Yukina: Is that so … Well then, please, at least take this candy home with you.

Hiei: .........!

Kuwabara: Aaaaaaaaah!! Hiei, you! You got candy from Yukina-san!

Kuwabara: Did you say trick or treat? It's useless if you don't say it, y'know!?

Yusuke: I thought I heard a lot of noise … youkai showed up?

Kurama: Yeah, but we already got rid of them. This area should be fine.

Hiei: I said I'm leaving!

Botan: No way, jeez! Don't say such a thing. We can't start without everyone.

Botan: Keiko-chan, Shizuru-san and Koenma-sama are also coming. We're partying till the wee hours today!

Kuwabara: Yeah, we're just getting started!

Hiei: You bastards, knock if off…!

Yusuke: Hahaha, give it up, Hiei. Whatever you say while dressed like that, it ain't impressive, man!

Kuwabara: Right? Dress up like, "I'm enjoying Halloween more than anyone else"!

Yusuke: I mean, even if I look at you again, I can't help but notice you're wearing that … Mwahahahahaha...!

Yusuke/Kuwabara: Gyahahahahaha!!

Hiei: I really should kill these guys...

Botan: Come on, let's go back to your apartment already and continue the party! Hiei, you can't run away!

Hiei: Thc...

Kurama: Well, that's nice to do this sort of thing once in a while.

Kurama: Huhuhu, therefore, Happy Halloween.

- The End -

Botan really wants to party lol. I'm glad they mentioned Keiko and Shizuru were invited. I really want to see them wearing Halloween costumes some day. Yukina and Hiei together is too cute 🥺. I love Kurama's little white lies. He managed to bring Hiei in a costume to a Halloween party!!! 🥰
