#yamanbagiri kunihiro imagine

[sword-brainrot]

Hi!! Can I request Yamaneko (Manba, Chougi, Nansen) headcanons with a saniwa that's going through a little winter blues? Kiwame Manba please and thank you! ♥️

I have never heard of their trio name together before but gosh! It's so cute!

(Separate) Kiwame!Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Yamanbagiri Chougi, and Nansen Ichimonji Helping Saniwa With Winter Blues (GN!Reader)

♡ Most of the swords have no idea what is Winder Blues and why you were suddenly ill with it.

♡ Are you going to turn blue?

♡ When Yamanbagiri finds out exactly what it is, he feels terrible that you were suffering from it. He knows very well how miserable it feels to not have motivation to do anything and just want to lay in bed and never face the world. 

♡ But you didn’t let him wallow in that pain, and neither will he!

♡ He starts very slow in helping. One morning, he will randomly show up pretty late in the morning so he knows you got plenty of sleep and show up with some hot chocolate. 

♡ Nothing sooths the soul like a warm drink and chocolate... So combine them, a perfect cure for the cold day to start with. 

♡ Ever since going on his kiwame journey and learning to accept himself for who he is, he became much more confident. 

♡ Days will start off with him waking you up softly. His gentle voice telling his saniwa to open their eyes and softly rubbing their back(If they are okay with touching). He knows he has to help you stand and take your first steps back to improving your mood.

♡ What better than to go on morning walks together. Offering over his hand to keep them warm if they do wish. 

♡ Walks around the citadel, watching as the swords start their day or the tantous already out to play. 

♡ Perhaps even going around the scenery away from the citadel for alone time. Anywhere with a lot of light.

♡ When it’s one morning when the sun just refuses to shine bright for you, he will put his new found confidence to the test.

♡ “Some days the sun won’t shine... But I hope I can be your sun instead to lift you up in the morning and give you a reason to start your day.” 

♡ An flushed rosy pink would find it’s way onto his pale cheeks as he quickly mutters just loud enough for you to hear.

♡ “Sun.. At least that is what Jiji calls me from time to time... I just want to help you because you have done so much for me. I hope I wasn’t overstepping my boundaries, aruji.”

♡ It was Mikazuki’s incomprehensible ramblings about what may be bothering you was the first time Chougi ever heard the term Winter Blues. He thought the name was so silly. How could anyone get sad because winter was here? Just because it was cold?

♡ He wouldn’t go up to you and just tell you to cheer up since the winter will pass. He had thoughts but you are precious to him and he wouldn’t want to hurt your feelings.

♡ Instead of just going off what he thought winter blues meant, he did his own research to make sure.

♡ As soon as he gets informed, he instantly regrets ever thinking that it was silly that you were upset with the thing called winter blues. 

♡ He honestly isn’t too sure what he could do to cure it. But he sure does everything in his power to find that cure! 

♡ He goes on a mad research on the internet to look at any cure or anything he had to do to help you. Taking up his whole morning and then that afternoon, he is gone from the citadel to find the equipment to cure this Winter Blues.

♡  The next day, he starts off the bright and early to make a healthy breakfast for his saniwa. 

♡ Unlike someone like Kasen or Mitsutada... He is not a cook. He never cooked in his life... So he decided to start small. He made Ochazuke with leftover rice. Not only is it a healthy meal to start the day but also a nice cup of green tea! 

♡ He has a plan and he is going to make you feel better, TODAY. 

♡ A healthy breakfast with your favorite sword, him. 

♡ Unlike his copy... He might not be as gentle with waking you up. It starts off with gentle “Aruji... It’s time to wake up”, before he gets frustrated with your lack of waking and snatches the blanket off you. 

♡ After you are startled awake, he is almost as startled as you! He totally forgot one of the main tips to curing Winter Blues was keeping warm... AND HE JUST RUINED THAT. 

♡ He quickly sets up a table with your food and wrapping you in the blanket once more to keep you nice and warm. 

♡ The day goes off like a schedule, him ticking off each box. A walk, healthy meals, staying warm, getting sunlight, see the other swords, and trying to get you to start new hobbies... Like sword fighting... Because Chougi is an expert in that! 

♡ The day quickly ends with you wrapped in blankets in front of a fire, and Chougi staring at you intensely. 

♡ “Are you cured now? I did everything right so you have to be cured, right?”

♡ Of course you weren’t. A sigh of frustration left him, was he not doing enough to cure this pesky illness?

♡ “I suppose I can’t leave your side until I make sure you are cured. Though... you did look a little stressed throughout the day so... Maybe we throw out this check list and go with the flow. How does that sound, aruji?” 

♡ Unlike Yamanbagiri and Chougi, Nansen doesn’t research Winter Blues. Instead he asks the Ichimoniji family what may be wrong with you when suddenly you were much more distant from him and the citadel. He was constantly worrying over you. Watching you from afar whenever you left your room to do something quick, but it never lasted long and you would disappear once again.

♡ He always wanted to approach you to try to ask you what it is wrong but never wanted to bother you and cause thing to get worse...

♡ So he went to Sanchoumou and Nikkou, the two people he respected the most in the clan.

Sanchoumou: Ah, I think a little birdy once told me a thing called Winter Blues. Perhaps that is what is making our little bird so unwell.

Nikkou: Winter Blues? Does that mean they are really cold?

♡ That is all he needed to hear before he rushed to be by your side.

♡ You were unwell and cold?? Not on his watch!

♡ Grabbing(Stealing) his favorite snacks from the kitchen, he ran to your room. Perhaps... Dropping some on the way and leaving a trail for everyone to know that they had a thief in their citadel and he wasn’t subtle.

♡ It was a late afternoon when he barged into your room with a bunch of snacks and a very worried look.  

♡ “Aruji, I have heard everything! The Winter has got your heart and now you are cold! Don’t worry! I am here, mreow!“

♡ He is a bit confused, but he got spirit! 

♡ After explaining to him that he probably means winter blues and it doesn’t mean that you are just cold, he looks very embarrassed for being so confused.

♡ “Does.. That mean you don’t need me by your side?”

♡ Massive puppy(kitty?) eyes stare at you, as he gets ready to leave your room with what little pride he has left. 

♡ Allowing him to stay will automatically make him light up, as he embraced you in his arms.

♡ Even if the Winter Blues doesn’t mean you are just really cold, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t hug you and try to make you forget all your worries. Soft purring can be heard and his warmth consuming you even more so than a fire could.

♡ If it ever got too hot, he would release you and start telling you about his favorite snacks that he brought you to show he cares.

♡ For once, he isn’t trying to hide his catlike behaviors. Instead his full focus on you and making you smile. 

♡ He will go at your own pace. If you ever really want to be left alone, he would leave your side but make sure you have plenty of food blankets before he leaves. He wants to be there to help so he will listen to all your words like his life depended on it; 

[manbasgiri]

Hi, if it’s ok with you I would like yandere headcanons of yamanbagiri Kunihiro, sanchoumou and buzen gou? The three are my favorite sword and I’m really curious on how they would act. If you can’t write for the other two just manba would be great too.

Manba Yandere.

notes. okaay, I only did it with manba sorry for sanchoumou and buzen :( (don't romanticize this shit pls)

reader. gn!saniwa.

word count. 256

warning. stalker.

he's been stalking you around the citadel, you've noticed, but at first you'll think it's just healthy admiration.

when he's not your secretary, you can be sure he'll look weirdly at the touken danshi secretary, as if he's threatening him that if he touches you, Yamanbagiri won't let him breathe.

when he sees another danshi touken touching you he waits until the right time to take revenge, in this case the night when everyone is sleeping and manba can be more subtle.

while the so innocent and carefree touken danshi who was his secretary was sleeping, Yamanbagiri takes one of the kitchen knives and starts to pass through the individual's body, leaving light scratches, he doesn't want him to die now, manba prefers he sees you two together and corrode from the inside out.

when he is alone with you on the other hand, he is affectionate, before kiwame he wouldn't dare come close to your body, he just admire you from a distance.

after kiwame he will beg for your touch, he wants to be yours alone and for you to be his alone.

when you are in more intimate moments he makes a point of leaving several marks in places that cannot be covered by your clothes, so he shows a little bit of his possessiveness.

Yamanbagiri likes when you use your fingernails to leave fine marks on his back and chest, especially after kiwame, he will like to leave those marks exposed as a symbol of what you have done and your relationship.

[ikusayu-no-hana]

but actually it fits so well . chougi (probably) being an ootachi before kunihiro shortened him and left his inscription on him . the closest thing him having to relatives being the distant osafune and (ill-fortunedly) his equally celebrated replica , while manba, despite allllll his hesitations is adored by his brothers . chougi having nooothing else save his name bc even the myth of the yamanba was attributed to both of them and being the latter to manifest obviously making him a footnote to manba . and then him masking his identity during the investigation...

[this doesn’t really make use of the prompt, but the word’s there at least ejirojd;f]

## day two - mindless : yamikari.

mindless of the fact that he was without his cape, yamanbagiri ran through the citadel.  mikazuki had come back from a mission injured and hikari needed him.  he was in his room when imanotsurugi and iwatooshi burst through the door to tell him.  he’d left straight away, thinking of nothing other than getting to them as soon as he could.  

he didn’t hear yamabushi calling to him, he missed kunihiro wave in his direction, all his energy was focussed on getting to repairs.  

he’d imagined all sorts of scenarios, the worst being what if mikazuki broke and he wasn’t there.  would hikari blame him for not getting there soon enough? 

once he’d rounded the corner to the repair room he stopped, one hand on the wall to catch his breath.  kogitsunemaru smiled and beckoned him over, telling him there was no need to worry, that mikazuki and hikari were waiting for him.

opening the door slowly, bracing himself for the worst, he walked in and only then did he let himself breathe.  hikari was perched on one side of the bed, holding mikazuki’s hand to her lips, almost as if kissing his ring.  her eyes were closed but mikazuki’s were wide open and he smiled, patting the other side of the bed.  yamanbagiri crossed the room and sat down, and lifted his other hand, kissing his palm.

he’d come back with a number of cuts and broken bones but mikazuki would be fine after some time.  he was already looking forward to being cared for by his lovers.

[Translation] [Tousute Hiden] Aramaki Yoshihiko blog post 2018.08.08

Source: https://ameblo.jp/aramaki-yoshihiko/entry-12396573956.html

WARNING: This translation contains spoilers for Hiden stage.

Note: I only translated the bottom part where he gives his thoughts about Stage.

Reblog/repost with translation credit please.

Butai [Touken Ranbu] Hiden Yui no Me no Ototogisu

Two years ago was Tousute Kyouden's first performance. And then Kyouden reprise performance Kiden Gaiden Jouden Hiden We came to perform all of these.

Since I was allowed to be a part of the performances of all Tousute since the beginning, Hiden has become the sixth one.

If you put all my appearances together, it makes 178 performances.

I've really been taking part in Tousute for a long time.

I think of it as a really great honor.

At the time of Kyouden, it was decided I'd ben acting as Yamanbagiri Kunihiro

and then

The tale of Mikazuki and Yamanbagiri began.

Hiroki-kun and I From the first performance of the reprise We heard from Suemitsu-san just a little of the vision of this Tousute tale.

That eventually, it would come to a fight between Mikazuki and Yamanbagiri.

When I heard that

'I want to do that scene soon!! But until we can get to that scene, there's a lot of things that need to be done first. So we have to start from that direction but I want to do it soon!'

That's what I thought at the time.

I really did not think that the conclusion would become this kind of thing.

I've been had, right.

I was so surprised.

When I heard about Yamanbagiri and Mikazuki fighting

Yamanbagiri surpassing Mikazuki

Is this a tale showing personal growth and development, then

that's what I thought, but then....

That he would lose...

And then that they would be separated!!

I was really completely deceived by Suemitsu-san.

If we talk about this conclusion that I had been waiting for ever since the beginning and development of the Tousute story

It looks like it had been in Suemitsu-san's head all this time.

What the hell happened?

Thinking this and that, I practiced,

then the first performance in Meiji Theater.

From practicing again and again

I thought 'this is going to be a play that will take an unbelievable amoutn of energy', but just feeling the heat from the audience in their seats It surpassed even all of my wildest expectations.

The people watching too as they saw the bewildering developments they were surprised they got sad I wonder if after the performance ended, they weren't really tired too

I think it would be natural after watching such a tale.

The Citadel gets attacked Shokudaikiri gets stabbled by Mikazuki Aruji appears Hasebe and Fudou come back Mikazuki leaves the Citadel

And the end

The fight between Yamanbagiri and Mikazuki

a resolution and it ends

Surely, it's a tale no one could have imagined.

A sad story.

Every day we performed, after every performance, I was completely exhausted and dead tired.

The one reason I was so exahusted was

The scene with Mikazuki.

The last scene of seprataing with Mikazuki in that tale even though I didn't want to cry the tears just come out

When I see in front of my eyes the Mikazuki who looks like he will fade away

So many memories well up

no matter what I always end up crying.

There were performances where I just cried with no sound And performances where I cried screaming.

Using all the emotions of that time

in the play

... no, not just in the play

I was really sad.

After the first performance

I fought with Mikazuki and I was sad while doing it, but

While the performances kept coming in

"I will save you, just wait and see"

I fought while thinking this from the bottom of my heart.

I fought with this feeling.

I was sad to lose.

I was frustrated by my own inexperienced self.

And after the separation from Mikazuki going back to the wings of the stage was painful.

I always ewanted to cry there.

but because this was so unforgiving, I was completely drained after sobbing so much.

In this place, all the Touken Danshi and staff came to find me

They rubbed my back

and they said 'You did a good job'.

During the stage it was only with Mikazuki and Yamanbagiri and Kogarasumaru but,

I fought together with everyone, right

and I was encouraged at every performance.

And then

the long-awaited, real killer move.

It was so long.

When will Manba-chan do his killer move

Not yet, not yet, I waited to much for that moment.

We did it at the very last.

And contrary to all the times until then,

the killer move was such a slow thing.

I'm really really happy that we managed to make this such an impressive and big highlight scene.

After that, Honetsly my muscles were just completely shivering. lol

More than a fight scene where you move fast,

a fight scene where you move slowly and carefully really uses up a lot of physical strength.

But at the critical moment, making it slow truly makes it shine.

This slow killing move I really personally loved it.

If all the people who waited for Manba-chan's killing move too were satisfied as well, then that's a blessing.

Mikazuki who wouldn't win against that killing move by Manba-chan.

Mikazuki who promised Yamanbagiri, the circle would come around again.

Mikazki Munechika who ended up locked up into the circle.

Really, how many times did he end up reliving it?

As many as the numbers of performances?

No,

even more?

This is me opinion,

At the beginning, Mikazuki himself wanted to change this fate and many, many times he probably struggled with it.

but

no matter what he did

no matter what happened

the conclusion always ended up the same.

In the end he always ended up the enemy of the other Touken Danshi.

In this repeated cycle he found just one hope.

The sun who can make the moon shine.

In the play, Mikazuki said so.

A sooty sun.

Was that Manba-chan?

Because in Kyouden, Didn't he recommend Manba for the position fo secretary?

In this repeated circle through trial and error he guided Manba-chan....

Through those one-on-one separations with Manba-chan

that kept repeating and repeating

he searched for just a single light.

When I think about Mikazuki like that, it feels so cruel.

but

through long performances

On the final day

I managed to win against Mikazuki.

A divergent ending.

This is also all Suemitsu-san's great talent.

Just,

The fight scene from that last performance,

I don't remember it very well.

This one fight scene.

Maybe I should have shown it in a more careful manner.

But at that time

I was absorbed in the feeling of winning

I worriedly pushed Mikazuki's blade away.

I gather everything from practice

no, I gathere everything I had gotten from Kyouden on,

and with all those months and years behind me I crossed blades with Hiroki-kun.

It would be just a wrong impression from me, but

We both understand each other, like we are both holding the other's breath in our hands.

isn't it because it was with Hiroki-kun who I have exchanged so many blows with,

That we could create such an amazing highlight scene?

I think so.

I want to see the DVD soon.

This fight scene.

The separation with Mikazuki Mikazuki's unbelievable deeds The burdened Manba-chan.

Gazing at the future also for Mikazuki's share.

Looking for the time when he can meet Mikazuki again.

The traveling Citadel of Tousute.

for sure, some day.

He can laugh again with Mikazuki.

I hope

that this day will come.

For real,

when he has become the sun that can make the moon shine.

when has become an existence that can turn on the light.

They can laugh again together

Will that day really come?

Now at that time,

I

had to make the decision to have surgery on my upper right anterior cruciate ligament.

So as not to have my rehabilitated ligament snap completely,

I was very careful,

and it was a challenge to perform.

I had the support of all the cast and staff

for all 53 performances.

I managed to finish without injuries.

But my fight with rehabilitation and muscle training isn't over yet.

So I can shine even more and more.

So that I can bring even bigger dreams to all of the fans.

I'll be diligent with it.

[Picture of Aramaki's legs while he stands in ice water] My repairs. lol

I put ice water in a trash can after the performance I submerge myself in it.

I cool my feet very sharply. It's very effective.

Well,

Thank you for reading all of this. I'm sorry for writing such a long, rambling thing.

The letters, and presents from that time,

Really.

Thank you so much everyone.

I will use all of your presents preciously.

All of your letters, I promise, one by one, I will read them carefully.

I always feel so much better from all the things that everyone gives me.

This good feeling I will make it so I can give it back to you all.

I will come out with even more diligence,

From now on Please kindly continue to support Aramaki Yoshihiko.

Finally

From the trial performance to Hiden, though this tale

I have grown so much with Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.

I think that me too, through Tousute, along with Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, I have grown a lot and become more mature.

Being able to take part in Buta 'Touken Ranbu' Being able to meet Yamanbagiri Kunihiro

I'm really glad I could do that.

The things that I managed to gain from it there are many of them but

It's become one of the most important thing that happened in my life.

Thank you Touken Ranbu.

Touken Ranbu

Again,

One day, we will start.

Saniwa’s Birthday Headcanons

Hello everyone!

I hope you guys are doing well! I am so so sorry that I have been unable to post anything for the past weeks or so. I have both good news and bad news. Good news is that I have now returned to college along side half a million other students in my province who had been affected. The only downside is that our school year is now compacted and I will only be able to have a week–maybe less–of holidays until we return to continue our semester.

Anyway, enough about me. I have written this head head cannon as a gift to those who will be celebrating their birthday in the next few days/weeks/month. Mine was just 2 days ago~

Please do enjoy.

-Mod Catharia.

For once the Saniwa was allowed to sleep in a few more hours and was woken up by Shoukudaikiri and Taikogane who presented them breakfast in bed.

A few swords passing by would peek into their master’s bedroom to greet them both a good morning and a happy birthday.

It would be such a boisterous and lively morning but a smile would be plastered on the Saniwa’s face the whole day.

Younger-looking words such as Imanosturugi and Houchou would just walk in their master’s bedroom in the pretense of greeting them but are genuinely curious to see what the two other swords had prepared–at the same time hoping to get a bite of whatever their master was having.

Obviously the Sainwa would not mind sharing a few bites but Shokudaikiri would repremand his comrades who would be taking advantage of the situation.

All the swords would eventually be forced to leave their master’s room once Hasebe comes and shoos them out.

Secretly, Hasebe had initially prepared a speech about how blessed they were to have an amazing and kind master but seeing as their Aruji as still in their pj’s, he would hold off

Instead, he would just shortened his speech into less than a minute before letting them know that they would be waiting outside to accompany them for the day.

Once the Citadel’s master is dressed appropriately for the day, they would be immediately bombarded with hugs and greetings once more when they walk though the hallways.

The more openly affectionate charges such as Akita, Mutsunokami, Namazuo, Yamabushi and Iwatooshi are more likely to hug master happily as a greeting.

On the other hand, the more timid swords such as Maeda, Gokotai, and Tonbokiri would give their beloved Aruji a bright smile as well a small hand crafted gift like a ningyō (human Japanese paper dolls) that looked quite similar to their master

A few aloof swords such as Ookurikara, Honebami and  Oodenta would just stand nearby staring at their master before walking away–the ever faint traces of Sakura petals surrounding them indicating that they were in a good mood even if they were scowling.

Throughout the day, the Saniwa allowed visitors to come visit them in their office–happily letting whoever interrupt their paperwork much to Hasebe’s displeasure.

Small trinkets and ornaments are created by the Toushirous and Kunihiros and then presented to the master of the Citadel in which they graciously accepted.

A number of vases filled with various wild flowers were perched on the Saniwa’s desk and a few nearby tables were provided by the Samonji brothers.

Different books about poems, warfare, flower arrangement, and medicinal herbs in courtesy of Kasen, Doudanuki, Hachisuka and Yagen appeared in a small neat stack on desk.

And lastly, small bowl of Coffee Jelly was presented by Azuki as a snack

Later on in the evening, the Saniwa was presented with a few parcels by Horikawa, Daihannya and Hachisuka claiming that their master is invited to attend dinner in the Main Hall.

Packed in the boxes was a whole new outfit which consisted of a formal kimono, an obi, socks as well as a few accessories.

Shortly, Jirotachi, Kashuu and Midare entered their master’s room as they were struggling to change into the new clothes and  insist on assisting them in getting ready or else they would be late.

Once the Saniwa makes their way to the Main Hall, they are greeted by rather loud bang when they open the door, realizing that they had been covered with streamers and confetti

The smiling faces of her charges and a rather loud and lively ‘happy birthday’ rang through the room with Tsurumaru, Sohayanotsurugi, Kikkou’s faces being quite close to their master’s own–the first one, asking if they were genuinely surprised.

The master is then ushered to their seat and the swords surround them, singing happy birthday although a little off tune. Shortly after, dinner is immediately served.

Soon enough, Shokudaikiri alongside Azuki presents a rather modern type of dessert– Almond Honey Cake with Strawberry Ripple Cream Icing–earning them much admiration and awe from both the Saniwa and the other swords.

While dessert is being handed out, a group of swords announced that they had prepared something for their master.A small play had been devised–directed by Kasen and Daihannya–which composed of the Sanjou swords, the Genji brothers,  Kogarasumaru, Uguisumaru and a rather reluctant Ookanehira. Surprisingly, the swords have decided to adopt an old classic tale: Cinderella

Kogarasumaru as the Evil Stepmother

Kogitsunemaru as Cinderella

Mikazuki as the Fairy god mother

Ishikimaru as the King

Imanosturugi and Iwatoshi as Cinderella’s animal friends

Higekiri as Anastasia

Hizamaru as Drizella

Uguisumaru as Prince Charming

The little play started out quite well until the next few minutes passed when it inched towards borderline chaotic

“Step sisters! I have a letter from the Royal Palace has arrived for you!” Kogitsunemaru exclaimed as he tried to push Mikazuki’s borrowed bandana over his head.

“Give it to me!” Hizamaru snatched the envelope from the fox’s hands but it was also immediately taken away his brother “Bro-Sister!”

“Ahaha~! I will be the one to open it!” Higekiri laughed but jolted when the letter was plucked out of his hands by Kogarasumaru

“Look! We are invited to the Prince’s ball at the Royal Palace!” The oldest Tachi hid his smile behind a fan. “Quick we must get you two dressed!!”

“I-I wish I can come along too…” The silver-haired Tachi wiped at the imaginative tears in the corner of his eyes with his sleeve.

“You? Come along to the ball?” Hizamaru smirked as he flipped his non-existent long hair rather vainly.

“You must be joking…” The elder brother dressed as the eldest sister covered his smirk behind a fan.

“You may come along…” The citadel’s eldest sword began as her began to walk out of the scenery. “…Once you finish all the internal affairs before we leave!”

“…I think the proper word is ‘chores.’…” someone commented in the back

“Hush!”

“Shhh!”

“Have a great night working, Cinderella!” Hizmaru taunted as the three walked out of the scenery.

As the scene began to pan over, everyone could hear the Genji bros. talking

A soft whisper of “Why are you following me? Who are you again?” was shortly heard from Higekiri caused Hizamaru to quickly run out of the room, covering his face wailing “How could you brother!?”

The acting swords continue on with their little play while the guests stared at the two siblings who were quickly running out of the room

Throughout the play, laughter escapes the Saniwa and the other swords as the actors acted and wore rather disney-esque clothing–no one knowing where they ever got it

Mikazuki eventually enters the scene, wrapped in a cloak that looks a little too similar to Yamanbagiri’s’s own, introducing himself as Cinderella’s fairy godmother.

“Do not cry, Kogirella…”

“I-It’s Cinderella, old man.” Kogistunemaru corrected but only got a shrug from the raven-haired Tachi. “A-Anyway, I want to go to the ball…It’s too late for me now.”

“It’s never too late!” Mikazuki smiled brightly as he began to tug at his comrade’s clothes, intent on getting him changed. “I will help you get to the ball! All you need to do is strip.”

From there onwards, the play just became filled with amusing side comments and slight changes to the play

Once the play ends, the group is rewarded with a round of applause and cheers with the Saniwa standing up to give them a standing ovation.

If the Saniwa was of age or not, they are entitled to a drink…or a litre at least according to Jirotachi who had almost finished 2 bottles of sake already

The party would carry into the night and even a few of the Tantous had been able to sneak a few cups of  sake before being forced to got to bed by their elder brothers or guardians

The drinking party would carry into the night…until out of pure drunkenness the Saniwa may have started to challenge others to a dance battle…

Surprisingly, Yamanbagiri, Ichigo and Shishou accepted the challenge–using the alcohol as an excuse for their erratic movements

80% of the swords had passed out in the Main Hall or in the hallways having been too inebriated to return to their rooms

On the other hand, the Saniwa had most likely been tucked into bed safely by more responsible swords like Horikawa or Tomoe

The next morning, everyone has been allowed to sleep in for a bit and had painkillers ready by their bedside for those who had a horrible hang over.

All Campaigns, Internal Affairs and Resource Gathering is Cancelled.

…Can we just imagine Ichigo with his tie wrapped around his head sleeping on a half-dressed Yamanbagiri with his cloak missing and Shishou cuddling against the teal-haired Tachi drooling all over his sleeve?

The Saniwa hopes that maybe next year, the swords will adapt another Disney movie as a play…maybe convince Izuminokami to play Rapunzel? Or have Akashi act as Sleeping Beauty…??

Touch-Starved: Kashuu Kiyomitsu, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Sayo Samonji

Anon asked: who's the most touch starved out of the cast? pick the top three and write hcs about them! if you want to, of course ^^

I’m going to do nothing but cry about my boys, please witness my wordvomit.

Honorable mentions: Izuminokami, Kiwame!Honebami, Gokotai, Hasebe, Shokudaikiri,  Kiwame!Fudou,Yamatonokami, others I may be forgetting. Feel free to rant to me about touch-starved sword bois, they all kinda are anyway.

Warnings: I jUST LOVE THEM ( ; ω ; )  I’m gonna cry i love them so much im so SORRY

Kashuu Kiyomitsu

Platonic or romantic, Kashuu will always want to be by your side. He loves it when you pamper him, spoil him, praise him, holding his face in your hands, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, oh Kashuu could drink that all UP. 

Even before Kiwame, Kashuu will almost always find a way to see you out. At first it begins at mere words, tell him that you love him, romantic, platonic it doesn’t matter. But as time goes on, it evolves to touches. And Kashuu will realize that oh...o h.

He loves it when your hand finds his, fingers lacing together. He loves it when you bring him into your embrace, your fingers running through his long locks, sometimes twirling around your finger. He loves it when you do the same when you gently convince him to use your lap as a pillow, a thumb over his cheekbone, he could fall asleep here.

And then there’s the day he realizes he is in love with you, the day he realizes the touches you give him make his heart race like no other. Yes he loves Okita but the love he has for you is much much different. You are his master, but if it turns out to be romantic, Kashuu won’t know what to do with himself. His cheeks will flush whenever you touch him, and he leans into each and every touch you give him with the happiest of blissful smiles.

Kiwame!Kashuu is much more comfortable asking for your affection. If you two have yet to confess by this time, when he comes home, oh he’ll leap into your arms without a second thought. He had missed this, and will keep you there for a while. He’ll whisper into your ears how much he loves you, cheeks redder than his clothing.

But if you two are dating by the time he returns from his journey, the first thing he does the moment you two collide is kiss you. Air be damned when he does this, he missed you so much! He’ll hold you tight and even when Yamatonokami and the other swords of the citadel swarm him to welcome him home, Kashuu is never letting you go! Hell no! Let them try to take you! He’ll fight Yams with his bare fists if he gotta. 

Oh whenever you two do beauty shit together, that’s when Kashuu is his mouth touch starved. Platonic or romantic, Kashuu will hold your hands with the utmost of care when he’s doing your nails. Sometimes if he’s feeling bold, he’ll bring them up to his lips and kiss them. Sometimes sitting on your lap as a brush dusts over your face, or you sitting in his lap to do his makeup! Do whatever damn it! He loves it!!!

Kashuu will lightly swing your arms together whenever you two are holding hands and it’s just you two. No damn way is he going to let anyway else see this! He’ll never hear the end of it!

Oh Kashuu clings on to you like a koala bear whenever you two cuddle. He’ll whine whenever you get up earlier than him, trying to convince you to come back down and sleep wit him! Cuddle!!! Please!!!! He misses you! You give in anyway.

While Kashuu lives off of verbal praise the most, physical affection is just as perfect for him! It’s a way to know that he is loved, even if you are good with words or not!

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro

Listen maybe it’s the Kiwame!Manba feels but before Kiwame, Yamanbagiri isn’t...the best at physical affection unless it’s just two of you alone. Romantic or not, he feels dirty and uncouth whenever you two touch - intentional or not. He doesn’t deserve this, even though what you give him feels so fucking good. Platonic, romantic, whatever it is, Yamanbagiri falls fast and hard and it hurts.

He would always stare at your hands, then back down at his own, and then at yours again. He would always reach out towards the air, wanting to touch you but feel nothing back. Why would you ever return such emotions anyway? He doesn’t deserve them, he is a copy. A fake. Why would you even give him the light of day?

But the day you wrap your hands around his, and he doesn’t pull away? Why would he want to? Not when he finally feels your skin against his, fingers lacing with his? Oh Gods, he never wants this to stop.

He feels so fucking terrible for taking advantage of you like this, lower than low. But why does it feel so damn good????

When Manba comes back from his journey and gets more confidence in himself, he will ask for affection freely. Gone are the days he would flinch away from your touch, now he leans into them, closing his eyes and smiling oh so gently.

In the back of his mind, there is a part of him that screams that he is not worthy. But why would it matter anymore? Manba will accept your affection without hesitation. Yes his cheeks will still be a bright red but he will not longer hide himself and his feelings.

If you have not confessed to each other by the time he goes on his journey, expect him to confess to you during the after party of his return. Like Kashuu above though, if you two are dating, the moment he gets home, he kisses you. A soft peck, a long kiss, who knows! Manba just wants to let you know that you are loved!! Think of it as repayment for the love you have shown him.

Before Kiwame, Manba will never ask for affection even though is eyes would always wander to your hands. Like I said above, he would always hover and hesitate, it’s up to you to close the gap. Kiwame!Yamanbagiri on the other hand will happily ask for it, shyly of course. It’s different between from public with prying eyes to being alone but man does Manba secretly love it when you hold his hand and cup his cheeks.

Sometimes Manba loves it when you two just...lay there. Cuddling, Running hands through each other’s hair. Heads on chest, whatever it may be, He adores it. He loves it when he can hear your heart the most.

Manba may be bad with PDA and hides his general touch-starved self, but it takes time for him to slowly come out of his shell. Be prepared when he comes back from Kiwame, he wants to repay you for your love as much as he can!

Sayo Samonji

Oh sweetheart, Sayo’s need for affection is much different than the other two above. Yes he loves praise like Kashuu but at first, Sayo will deny the affection. He doesn’t think he deserves it, like Manba but...Sayo is a weapon. He is a killer. His heart is stained with malice. Rarely does he ever feel peace.

He gets affection from his brothers and it’s great but the affection from you is parental in a way. The head pats you give him almost make him cry, is it alright? Do you not fear him? His mind would be abuzz as he leans into your touch, turning off his brain for only a moment. Perhaps it was...fine for a while, no? You are his master, he has to listen to you in the end. But it feels so good, it brings him peace like how his brothers would pat his head and love him.

As time goes on, Sayo will begin to spend much more time around you. Shyly would be asking you for hugs, staring down at the ground, opening up his tiny arms. “C-Can...no, forget it.” he would almost look dejected, bringing his arms back down to his side and almost ready to turn away and run. 

The minute you do hug him though, Sayo melts. He closes his eyes, his heart slows, his brain shutting down the worst parts of his mind. He doesn’t have to listen to them. Not now, not here, not ever, so long as you hold him like this, Sayo can just be a kid. Not a warrior, not a poor boy born of anger and malice and famine. But a child, who can finally rest.

Soon enough, Sayo’s hugs will become almost spontaneous. Shy but out of nowhere. Most of them come from nightmares, when he sneaks out of his brothers’ room to find you. He loves Souza and Kousetsu, don’t get him wrong. But sometimes it’s just...better with you? He doesn’t know how to describe it. Maybe it’s because you have an outside perspective to his life and maybe it’s because he’s connected to you as a tsukumogami and master?

He just thinks you bring him comfort like a parent would.

It’s those quiet moments where Sayo will cry in your arms, and when he finally falls asleep, it’s a rare moment when you see a smile in his lips.

When he comes back from Kiwame, accepting who he is as a killer and a blade born from malice, Sayo almost feels much more free in a way. Yes he knows that he is a tool, but his affection for you is almost much more palpable. He won’t hesitate to ask you for a hug, sometimes finding you in your office or outside and asking, “May I sit on your lap for a little bit?” and plop himself there with a content smile as he leans into your embrace.

No Souza and Kousetsu aren’t sobbing in a corner what are you talking about. Both Samonji bros are more than happy to see their little brother open up to you like this!

Sayo’s affection ebbs and flows, comes and goes with the wind, but don’t doubt that he cares for you platonically and in a familial sense.

[ryoalouette]

My starter was Yamanbagiri, and I kinda forgot which one was my first forge: was it Imanotsurugi or Sayo orz

Tbh when I first play tourabu, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was told there’s some starters, but I didn’t think it’ll be them five. Or alternatively: Saint Seiya, a goth, a doggo, Kise from Kuroko no Basuke with depressing tone of voice, and a purple haired guy. I was quite torn with Saint Seiya and Kise then, but then I chose Kise - which turns out to be Yamanbagiri - since he seems like hm, my type of a person, I guess? He seems to be awkward back then, and now I know him to be rather awkward as toudanshi, based on his lines haha.

As my starter, I can see him often reflecting on decisions that the saniwa made and perhaps, relating to the saniwa if the saniwa is quite an awkward person. He’s very insightful, taking note of things that would factor in a battle like what a commander would do. From that, can practically see that he’s smart and dependable: a good tactician for a general in war.

Despite picking him generally because of the similarity to Kise, I can see how different he is to Kise. Physically, it’s only the eye colour: Kise’s yellow like his name sake and Yaman’s turquoise. But other than that, he’s practically Kise’s polar opposite. Kise shines as bright as the sun, while Yaman, he’s practically a diamond in the rough. Well, he’s hiding his pretty self under that hood, so I’ll just call him that.

However he has a really low self-esteem, it makes him doubt his own capability, whether if he’s fit to be the saniwa’s starter at all. Especially since he was forged as a duplicate of the original Yamanbagiri. He’d need a lot of encouragements from the saniwa about that, that he’s worthy to be the second in command after the saniwa of the Citadel. 

He loves going to the field since it makes him dirty. He hates being told pretty. He doesn’t want his looks to be praised since he’d feel like it wasn’t him that was praised, but the original Yamanbagiri. Here, I’m thinking that perhaps the original Yamanbagiri also have the same face, or more accurately, Yaman’s face is a copy of Yamanbagiri. He just wants to be different from the original Yamanbagiri. But judging by his history of being made a duplicate of Yamanbagiri, he felt very much inferior to the original. 

Everything might not be so smooth sailing like the Hanamaru (even tho it’s still fluffy af I can’t fff--), since relationship-wise with other toudanshi, he might have issues from the other swords (*cough*Hachisuka*cough*) or he’d be feeding off and in the negativity of the other toudanshi (*cough*Sohayanotsurugi*cough*Nagasone*cough*) about being duplicates (tho certainly he is not a fake, the word ‘duplicate’ itself is different than ‘fake’) but skill-wise, I imagine him to be very proficient as an Uchigatana since he’s one of the first swords. Meaning, saniwa uses him often, he’s probably the one who knows a lot about saniwa that the other sword attendants don’t know about, and he’d be the one with most experience to go to sorties and even chores. 

For me he’s the best starter, but I guess that’s me being biased lol. You just have to remind him that sword is a sword. It doesn’t matter if he’s a duplicate, he’s the only Yamanbagiri Kunihiro I know.

.... I’m just kind of sad there’s no kiwame for the starters yet for now.

[sword-brainrot]

If it's okay, can I request a platonic matchup? I'm not attracted to men but I'd love to be friends with these swords or the kind of person these swords represent. They/them pronouns please!

I would say my person is somehow of a huge contradiction? (Albeit everyone is multifaceted) Ever since I was a child I've been sort of masculine/gender non-conforming in the rough sort of way if you get it? But ever since I was fed this certain [toxic] mindset by media that it'll be taken away from me/I'm not worthy if I didn't act masculine in some sort of cool, suave, elegant sort of way, I tried to be that but ended up simply obsessing over it more than doing anything and felt like I've "failed", so the rough and refined parts of this kind of just mushed weirdly. I'm trying to get over my insecurities and the toxic mindset of not being enough for not fitting perfectly into one category and just accepting that I can be masc in the way I just am and I don't need to please anyone in my gender expression. I was also cheerful as a child but due to life I have just became more quiet and aloof, at some point I didn't want to be friends with/close to anyone, but eventually I regained friendliness and grew a sort of "cursed" type of humor, though I'm still more quiet. I'm generally a negative person but won't hesitate to think positive or be determined if it's to help others or for my success. I'm also generally nice or kind, but also quite irritable which makes me wish I was also more patient and less "selfish". I'm pretty envious/jealous, but am now improving with it by focusing on improvement itself and trying to change those feelings into inspiration and admiration. Lastly I'm quite contemplative and geeky, have making art, video games, and consuming other media as a main hobby, but I don't mind doing sports or exercise especially since I've always wanted to do them as a kid but was gatekept from them.

In a friend I'd just like someone who's nice or kind to me? Someone who can listen and give me sound advice but is honest about it. (I have no idea if this is important but I also tend to be drawn to similar people in that they're quiet and/or negative admittedly, but are still nice nonetheless.)

I Match You With...

🌸 Yamanbagiri Kunihiro 🌸

♡  I believe that you and Yamanbagiri would be a great match for each other. Your friendship would improve the both of you to become the person you wish to be. 

♡  The two of you are very similar. From having your own struggles with your self identity and trying to conforming into what they “should” be. However no one has to fit into that box to make others happy. 

♡  Yamanbagiri’s whole life was being labeled as a fake to a famous sword who killed a witch... But never being that sword. The copy that was trying to be something that he isn’t. It caused him so much distress that he decided to wear that cloak to hide away his face from the world. Not even cleaning because he never wanted to be seen without it and thinking he deserves something ugly to fit him.

♡  However that isn’t truthful for either of you.

♡  The two would lift each other. As much as Yamanbagiri hates himself, he could never hate you. You are the saniwa that saw something good in him and trusted him so much. In time... slowly growing that bond into a friendship. 

♡  Yamanbagiri isn’t outspoken but if he ever saw you speaking badly about yourself, he would try to speak up and try to defend you. Because you really are an inspiration to him. 

♡  He likes every side of you. Even the ones that you may call flaws. 

♡  Even if you aren’t as elegant as you would like to be, he would try to praise you. You would hear him stammering, blushing, and mumbling trying to get the words out, but when he does... he means it. 

♡  Yamanbagiri really enjoys having someone that he can relax with. He is often around people that are high energy and that can get very draining. Being around you, he can relax. He doesn’t feel like he has to talk. Instead enjoying the pleasant silence between the two as they sit together.

♡  Yamanbagiri thinks he is very untalented to ever do any of the hobbies that you have interest in. You can totally convince him. Don’t be surprised that if he isn’t a master at the activity, he will think he absolutely sucks.

♡  He would still try if you asked him and encouraged him. 

♡  I believe you would be the main reason Yamanbagiri would grow that courage of going on his kiwame journey. He would see you trying every day to break out of the past thoughts that now plague you. You want to change and so does he. You were the main reason he wanted to change because you showed him that it was possible... No matter how slow or how healing isn’t a straight path forward. 

♡  When he returns from the kiwame, he will show up before you without his cloak.. and a smile he often hid. 

♡  You were always there for him, supporting his journey of change, and allowing him the change to leave the citadel to figure out who he really is.

♡  This time, he is back with for confidence and ready to be the support pillar that you may need in your journey to become the person you could love. 

♡   And he would not leave his friend behind.

I read the headcanon about KuniManba meeting NagayoshiManba, and I wonder though - am I the only one who has the headcanon that Nagayoshi would view Yamanbagiri as a twin brother? Like could you picture the situation of Nagayoshi just being so very proud of Yamanbagiri all "Look at you! You are so cool! Why the hey are you trying to hide your awesomeness!" and trying to fit in with the kunibros coz he cant not see Yamanbagiri as a brother? I cant imagine how Manba would react tho..

It would be really cute if Nagayoshi was like that but poor Kunihiro would definitely get way overwhelmed. Those types of people usually overwhelm him, but with Nagayoshi it would probably be worse since he really would need time to even get used to being in the same Citadel as him. There are plenty of ways one could go with a Nagayoshi character…of course I don’t exactly expect to see him getting implemented as an actual character.

Aaa, thank you for your questions~!

Describe how they would spend a stormy, overcast/rainy day. --He would be gladly watching the rain from indoors with a hot cup of tea and ideally also a big warm blanket. Nagayoshi also tends to get very relaxed if not sleepy from the sound of rain. However he does flinch when there is really loud thunder, coz I mean it is a loud noise.

What about nature do they find calming? What about nature do they find disagreeable?  --Nagayoshi loves the nature almost 100%, especially he loves watching animals playing around - I swear to god, give this man a kitten and he will follow it around all day. What he disagrees with are insects. Especially mosquitoes and anything else that has a nasty habit of biting or getting close to people. And don’t get him started on spiders and centipedes.

Describe a physical action that shows complete trust. --This is a toughie. With Nagayoshi it would vary from person to person - sometimes it’s taking them by the hand, especially when he is nervous or there’s a high tension situation, as either affirming that the person makes him not feel alone or reminding that he will support them. Sometimes it can even be just putting his hand on the person shoulder or back, as a way of reminding that he is on the persons side and that he will stand with them. And when it’s like 100% trust - even hugs, coz he understands he puts himself in a vulnerable position and leaves his guard down - emotional guard that is.

On a sleepless night, what would they be found doing? --To be fair, I think stargazing. He loves a starry night, and he really can’t help but let his mind wander. On a cloudy night however, I could picture him making origami or fiddling with something else small. (okay but imagine him having a fidgetspinner, he wouldn’t let that thing go)Are there any inner demons they can never seem to get rid of? What are they? --Saving the best for last are we? Well, there’s a big one. His slight resentment to being forgotten. Oh you bet he is salty about that still, even if he forgives and smiles. Seeing Yamanbagiri often just tears him up inside thinking about it. At the same time he can’t bring himself to hate him - Kunihiro didn’t ASK to be made. But there’s still a great deal of upset. He is still terrified he will be thrown aside and replaced. However, he tries not to show it and smiles, though he gets pretty shaken when thinking about it.

Hidden | Yamanbagiri Kunihiro x Reader

RATING: General | WORD COUNT: 682 | GENRE: Hurt/Comfort SUMMARY: Yamanbagiri finds you crying alone.

Most of the citadel was quiet, many of the anthropomorphized swords having gone to bed. Yamanbagiri was one of the few who remained awake, not quite yet ready to retire for the night. The young man took slow and lazy strides around the citadel, allowing his legs to take him wherever they will with no real purpose.

A breeze blew by, prompting the uchigatana to shiver. While being given a human form did have its advantages, it did have its inconveniences as well. Yamanbagiri clutched onto the ragged cloth around his form and pulled it closer against him, hoping it would help shield him from the cold.

Glancing up at the sky and seeing how late it's gotten, the uchigatana decided it was about time to go back to his room and recover his strength so that he can perform well the next day. Turning on his heel, Yamanbagiri started to head back to his room when his ears picked up somebody whimpering.

The sound was soft that Yamanbagiri wasn't even sure he heard it properly, but after pausing with his steps and paying close attention, the young man was able to hear your distinct voice crying just around the corner.

Worried for your well-being and assuming that you've been injured, Yamanbagiri hastened his pace and rounded the corner. What greeted him was the sight of your quivering back, your usual confident figure curled into a crouching position.

Clearing his throat, Yamanbagiri made his presence known and called out to you. “Master...” He spoke carefully, but even so, you ended up jumping from his sudden appearance.

“Yamanbagiri,” you acknowledged his presence, turning around to face him with tear-stained cheeks.

Furrowing his eyebrows and biting his lower lip, the uchigatana shifted his weight between his feet, trying to think of what to say or do in this situation. In the end, he decided to be blunt and point out the obvious. “You're crying.”

You tried to wipe your tears away with the heel of your palm. “Yes,” you answered simply.

“Why?” he questioned.

You shook your head, signalling your refusal to answer. Seeing as you wouldn't be providing him with an explanation, the uchigatana took one tentative step toward you, his eyes never leaving your face as he gauged your reaction. He continued to take his time approaching you, giving you enough time to back away if you so wished, but you remained in place.

Recalling all those times you've comforted the other swords whenever they were upset, Yamanbagiri raised his hand and placed it on top of your head and allowed it to rest there. Curious, you raised your gaze towards him before the young man gave gentle albeit awkward pats on your head.

“Yamanbagiri...?”

“Aren't you cold?” the uchigatana asked, averting having to explain the reasons for his actions.

Realizing that this was his own way of showing care and concern for you, a small smile started to make its way onto your lips. “A little bit,” you answered truthfully, your hands moving to rub your arms.

With a curt nod, Yamanbagiri took his trademark cloth off and instead wrapped it around your shoulders. It was rare for the uchigatana to ever remove his cloak, so you took this as your chance to admire his features that were usually hidden.

His hair shone in the moonlight, framing his soft features perfectly. His eyes which usually had the shadow of his cloak casted over them gazed down at you with warmth and compassion.

Suddenly becoming aware of your rude staring, you cleared your throat to break the silence that had combed its way into the air. “Thank you,” you breathed out, bowing your head low.

Yamanbagiri only grunted in response before offering his palm out for you to take. Grateful to have somebody else that you trusted with you in this moment of loneliness and weakness, you accept the waiting hand. Without another word, the uchigatana started to lead you back to your room so that you could get some rest, the short walk quiet yet comfortable throughout.

[toukenranbucrap-blog]

Hi! Could I request a Yasusada x male!sword!reader scenario? (Or Hotarumaru if you'd rather not write Yasusada??) thank you!

this is a bit long so the rest is under the cut

It was nice joining the castle and living with others justlike myself. all swords who perfectly understand each other. but one of themstood out as he stayed by my side more than the rest, he was the one who greetedme when I arrived, and the one who showed me excitedly around the place and introducedme to the others, and the one who watched my back during every mission we wenttogether.

Yasusada have been there every time I needed him… and whenhe wasn’t there, it simply became boring and hard to do anything.

.. I honestly and stupidly thought that he’s being there forme, and only me!

but as I stayed here and saw how he acts around the others,greeting them every morning, helping with their works, fight beside them inmissions, I realized I was mistaken.

This realization did nothing but throwing me in a loop ofoverthinking and pain. and made me back away from him.

I knew how I felt toward him all along… but that because Ithought he felt the same right? now I know he doesn’t these feels must go away.

It’s not that easy. 

Today is the perfect day to go on a mission, the sun shiningbut the weather’s not hot, and everyone in a good spirit after staying coupleof weeks with no missions at all.

I wonder who aruji choose to go this time… I wish it’s me,it’s been quite a while since I stretched my muscles.

“everyone listen” came Hasebes voice “these are the names ofthe ones who’re going today”

everyone gathered to hear the names, “Yamanbagiri Kunihiro”,he tried to hide his excitement with not much success, “Nikkari Aoe”, he smiledin satisfaction, “Yasusada Yamatonokami”, he’s going … ,” Tsurumaru Kuninaga”, god helpthose going with him,  “Ichigo Hitofuri”,his little brothers are happier than him for some reason, “and the leader isy\n”, ME? I’ve never taken the lead before!!

“I-I don’t think this is a good Idea”

“sorry y\n, it’s aruji’s orders… I really hoped it’d be methis time”. Hasebe didn’t show much interest in what I have to say… the leader,how am I supposed to do this? I am new here and with not much experience, willit be alright?

We’re leaving now.

The swords standing behind me, the little once stillcheering for their brother like it’s his first mission ever, Nikkari doingsomething with his jacket, Yamanbagiri staring at me waiting for us to leave, Tsurumarustretching his arms and looking ready to take whatever’s coming, Yasusadafixing the tie on his hair. as I looked towards him he left up his head and oureyes met for a split second… No stop this.

“is everyone ready? here we go!”. if he did not look at meat that moment, we probably will still be at the castle right now…

Everyone did a great job at this mission. everyone but me…

I kept thinking about him that I did not notice two of the enemiesattacking me, and what happened next? it got WORSE, he took them both byhimself, like he always did. I’m not sure if he asked if I got hurt because I ranaway from him, and made sure we’ve been separated the whole time until we’reback.

now we are back I don’t know if I can even look at his way. embarrassmentmixed with all the old feelings is killing me!

everyone got to their rooms and I’m still sitting here, forwhat reason? of course thinking about him…

“are you alright y\n?” … that voice!! “you’re not your usualself lately. something bad happened?”

“why… no.. yah I’m fine”. I tried to avoid his eyes as much asI could

“Did something happen in the last week? or the week before?”

“n-no .. nothing at all”.

“have I done something bad?”

“what?”. what the hell is he saying now?

“I don’t know. you seemed angry with me for quite a while… Ifigured that I’ve done something without meaning to that made you mad”

Oh no!

“n-no Yasusada you did not”

“you mind if I sit with you?”

I didn’t even have to answer, he did anyways.

“you were amazing at the mission today, you’ve killed morethan you ever did in a mission!”… Did I?..”you usually kill one or two buttoday you got THREE!! you also helped Ichigo with one, that was AWESOME!!”…hearing him saying that.. “I got so excited when you became the leader, it’syour first time! we will remember this mission forever”

“I don’t think so”

“why is that?”

“I put you and the others in danger… this is not somethingfor a leader to do”

“it’s alright stuff like this happens”

“… sorry for troubling you today”

“y\n.. not at all. we’re team aren’t we”

what am I supposed to say now… I only wish for him to sithere for the whole night.

“I love the way you fight”

“what???”

“since your first mission I noticed how you hold your sword…the way you swing it is so beautiful”

there was a moment of slice, in that I can feel my bloodrushing to my head.

“I hope we can go to more missions together… it’s not thesame when you’re not there”

is he really saying that??  “I … me to”

“what do you think about me when I fight?”

… “it’s… will.. it’s cool I guess”

“Kashuu always told me to be stronger and faster, I neverlisted to him until you joined us”

“why me?”.I meant to tell him he also was amazing when hekilled two at once all by himself….

I turned my head his way… he’s already looking at me withthose eyes …

“I’m not sure… something about you makes me want to bebetter. it’s like wanting to be up to your standards”… even in this darkness I cansee his face redder that usual.

“i… don’t know what you mean”

“we were getting closer, and then you turned away from me allof a sudden…. I thought I may be the problem” there’s some sadness to his voice

you are not!

“are you saying you wanted to get closer to me?”

“will… I still want to!”

“I ,,, I .. well.. want that too”. I SAID IT!!

“really??” I’ve never seen him smile this wild before.

“yah.. I wanted this the whole time… it’s.. you see.. I thoughtyou don’t think that way so I .. uh .. kept my distance”. my face is boiling!

“aww NO!.. sorry for not showing you that”

“yah it’s okay now.. I guess”. if one put me under the lightyou’ll see my heart beating out of my chest.

“it’s funny you said that, all the others thought we’resleeping together”

“wait WHAT??”

“haha yah… even aruji told me to get hold of myself aroundyou.. it’s weird you’re the only one who did not see that”

now my heart IS out of my chest!

“we can try that, you know”

“try what?”

“the sleeping part”

“YASUSADA!!!”

“hehe sorry. I think it’s better to take things slow”

 aaand here it is!!!

what happened after that is up to your dirty imagination ;)
