hey. hey. i need to be really gay for a minute. dont mind me

pspspspsps.... **hands u my five page double sided booklet on how i think pok and sklonda met**

ill make a fanfiction later. for now take the bullet points from the notes app. /hj

they knew each other in college, but never really spoke? Pok was always very confident and cocky and outgoing and Sklonda was just there to get her degree so she could be a detective y'know? She also kinda hated him. He was just like her total opposite. Also she fucking kills it in debates, though thats not that important.

I feel like the most interaction they had was like getting paired for a discussion of some sort and Pok makes a comment of "Wow i like your long hair!" and Sklonda goes "Thanks im gonna cut it all off tonight bc you said that" and she does and Pok doesnt know how to tell her he likes it both ways.

Oh yes, Pok is pansexual! That's a headcanon! Gender is so unimportant to him, he just likes pretty people and pretty personalities! (def not projecting as a pan pok kinnie.... ppk...)

They both meet again later on at a college reunion or smthn around five years later, Sklonda is a confident young woman and Pok is a cocky young man who thinks he can just about get anything "bro im a spy im so cool who wouldn't wanna date me?". Pok approaches her at the party and she just goes "Oh absolutely not! You are not doing this today!" and gives him a lecture on how much she doesn't like him and how he is her complete opposite and honestly kind of a shitty person. They encounter the next day at a park and Pok is like "dude im sorry idk what i was thinking i was kinda drunk not in the right headspace yknow?" and shes like "okay. sure we will go with that." and thus begins the banter!

next time he tries to talk to her theres a teasing remark about if hes in the right headspace now to talk to her and a sort of "oh har har yeah im not drunk in a public park at 2 pm sklonda theres kids here, and this is bottled water not vodka." there's just sort of constant meetings in the Bastion City park and they sit there and just talk about life all while bantering. Sklonda teases him for his fashion sense bc i think he would only wear polo shirts and khakis at this point and soon he has shifted outfits to like turtlenecks and button ups and like plaid pants. Theres sort of an unspoken crush, theyre both just not wanting to end the playful banter and get serious yknow? then how can they make "i hate you so much im sitting here talking to you to waste your time and def not bc im interested in what you're saying and like listening to you talk about work!"

at one point pok just goes "yknow i hate you so much i am going to take you on a date to the diner this friday just to waste even more of your time!" and sklonda just goes "....smooth...what time?" and thats literally how they start dating.

they move in together and pok brings her flowers at work. the receptionist knows him by name. she sees him enter and just goes "Sklonda your boyfriend is here!" and Sklonda tries to be like "wow omg this is so embarrassing babe wtf why do you do this" but she loves it.

I honestly think theyd just get married in a courthouse. sklonda and pok just dont know too many people theyd actually wanna invite to a wedding, so they choose the easier route. they get a week off work so it works out, and also still have engagement rings. Pok proposed and all that, they just didnt want a big fancy wedding. they went on a picnic after getting legally married in the park.

they move to elmville pretty soon after getting married and also have Riz pretty quick after that. Pok brings her flowers at her new office and if Riz is with him he comes along too. Pok keeps photos of both of them in his wallet on missions, in the pok lives au he shows all rhe bad kids riz's baby photos and riz is humiliated and hates it.

Pok also brags about how pretty his wife is. You are never going to hear the end of how much he loves Sklonda and how beautiful she is and while shes more quiet about it, Sklonda if close enough to you will also spare no detail of how handsome and kind her husband is. They both brag about Riz doing the tiniest things.

Pok is a great dad, and if he gets home from a mission while riz is at school he will go pick him up for lunch. Can be found napping with his son at 4 pm on a Saturday after they both exerted all their energy playing at the park. Sklonda teases them about being idiots but she loves them both and would not trade her husband and son for the world. "One gukgak has to be sane and I guess thats me." is what she often says after they get injured doing dumb things. Riz thinks that jumping off the swing at full speed and velocity is the greatest joy known to man and Pok often grabs him before he faceplants straight into the ground.

Sklonda also spends time with her son and takes him to the library a lot. Riz loves checking out books at the self checkout thing and bounces up and down at every beep. She reads him bedtime stories one chapter of the warrior cats books at a time.

Thats it i just love these stupid goblins more than words

Gloxinia

Poe is a flower shop employee and Ranpo gets lost and somehow finds his way to Poe’s shop

~

It was a fresh autumn morning. Orange and brown leaves littered all over the ground and crunched as a tall man walked through. The man’s name was Edgar Allan Poe, an American immigrant who came to Japan for a new start. He currently worked as a flower shop employee and though the pay was small, he was glad that he could at least provide food and shelter for himself. 

The flower shop came into view and he walked a little faster. He entered the shop and was greeted by the sweet old lady who was his boss. He waved good morning.

“Hi, Poe-kun, have you had breakfast yet?” Poe took his apron out of his bag and put it on, shaking his head to respond to the old lady’s question.Once Poe had finished tying the ribbons of the apron, the old lady handed him a croissant.

“Thank you, Mrs. Fukushima”

That’s how most of their mornings started; with Mrs. Fukushima giving him bread for breakfast. She knew Poe didn’t have enough money to buy breakfast so she always gives him bread to eat so the young man wouldn’t starve.

The next few hours was spent by attending to customers, wrapping up bouquets of flowers and taking care of the several plants and flowers in the shop. This is exactly why Poe stayed despite the small pay; Life as a flower shop employee was a peaceful one, no overwhelming rush of customers (except on Valentines Day), no violence. 

Poe’s life was normal, quiet, almost too quiet.

“Hey, Poe-kun, don’t you have a girlfriend?” Poe flushed at the old lady’s question

“N-No, Mrs. Fukushima, you know relationships aren’t my t-thing..” He said. Mrs. Fukushima sighed

“You’re not gonna get any younger, you know. It’s best to enjoy your youth”

“R-right, i’ll keep that in mind”

~

At around lunch time, Poe just finished wrapping up a bouquet for a customer and then..

“Hey hey, could someone help me??” A young man barged into the shop. He looked to be around his 20′s. Dark, messy hair slightly covered by a brown hat, beautiful emerald eyes. Poe lightly blushed seeing the young man. The tall male kept staring at the newcomer till Mrs. Fukushima snapped him out of his trance.

“Poe-kun? You help that young man, I’ll take care of the customer” And with that, Mrs. Fukushima led the customer away to the cash registrar. Poe gulped and made his way to the young man.

“U-Um, how can I help you, sir?” Poe tried his best to get eye contact with the man but he just kept averting his eyes.

“I’m lost, do you know where the Armed detective agency is?” Poe thought about it for a second. The Armed detective agency’s the building where he passes by every morning, right?

“The r-red bricked building, right?” The young man nodded excitingly. 

“Poe-kun, you can go lead him, and grab some lunch since it’s already lunch time!” Mrs. Fukushima exclaimed, waving. The tall man nodded and took off his apron and he placed it on a nearby table.

“I’ll be back soon, Mrs. Fukushima!” 

~

“So you’re Poe?” Poe nodded

“I’m E-Edgar Allan Poe and you are?” The man looked at him strangely

“You don’t know who i am??” 

“No..?”

“Why, I’m the greatest detective in the whole wide world! Edogawa Ranpo!” 

“Oh..okay?”

~

The two finally arrived at the agency. Poe bowed

“Well, I should be off then, goodbye, Edogawa-san” Poe turned around to leave but Ranpo caught his sleeve

“Get lunch with me”

“Hah?” 

Ranpo dragged Poe to the Agency’s favorite cafe. They were both greeted by the waitress and the cafe owner. The two sat down on a booth and gave their orders to the waitress. Since Poe still couldn’t read Japanese well enough, Ranpo ordered omurice for them both and a parfait for Ranpo. 

“So you’re a detective, Edogawa-san?” 

“Mhm! Cut the ‘Edogawa-san’ call me Ranpo instead!” 

“O-Okay..R-Ranpo-san”

“You’re a cute one aren’t you?” 

“EH!?”

~

By the time lunch was over, the two grew close, close enough to even exchange phone numbers. Poe even stuck around the agency and met everyone. He left 5 minutes later, saying that he still has work to do.

As he walked back to the shop, he felt a warm feeling within him. The feeling was nice, it made him feel really happy. 

For the first time in a while Edgar Allan Poe felt extremely happy...

~

It’s been a whole month since the two met and became close. It was already December 23rd. Tomorrow would be the last day of work. Poe not only grew close with Ranpo but also with the other agency members, the tall male was even invited to the Agency’s Christmas Party. 

The past few weeks have been a good one for Poe, he made new friends. 

Poe looked at the clock on the wall and realized it’s almost time for him to get lunch and go to the Agency. 

He knew today was gonna be a good day too

~

‘Ah..the last day of work! I’m definitely gonna miss this place while I’m on vacation..’ Poe thought as he swept the floors of the shop. The door opened and he turned around to see Ranpo, with a grin on his face

“R-Ranpo-kun?? How did you even get here??” Poe stuttered out as Ranpo pouted

“Don’t underestimate a great detective like me!” Poe sweatdropped as Ranpo entered the shop. Currently it was just the tall male because Mrs. Fukushima went out for groceries

“So..what brings you here today, Ranpo-kun? It’s quite rare that YOU visit me” Poe asked, emphasizing the latter YOU. What he said was not a lie, usually it would be the taller male who visits the Agency during lunch time, not the other way around. 

“I came today to buy a flower” That response piqued Poe’s interest

“Oh? Which ones?” Ranpo pointed at the Gloxinias. Poe felt his heart ache a little. He knew what those flowers symbolized; Love at First Sight. He didn’t know why his heart ached, so what if Ranpo is buying a flower that symbolizes Love at First Sight? It’s not like he loved the detective anyway...

..Right..?

“alright, hold on, I’ll get it for you” Poe walked away to the bundle of gloxinias. He grabbed one and walked to the preparation table

“Would you like a ribbon or card?” 

“Yes!”

“You can go pick over there Ranpo-kun” Poe pointed to the rack of ribbons and cards. 

~

Ranpo came back with two small ribbons, one red and one white and of course, a little card that he can write in. Poe handed Ranpo a pen and he started writing away while Poe beautifully tied the ribbons around the stem. When Ranpo was finished writing, he handed the card to Poe and the tall man stuck the card on the stem with tape.

“And your total is 934 yen” Ranpo gave him the money and he was off with the flower

“Thanks, Poe-kun!” Poe waved him goodbye and when the detective was nowhere to be seen, he sighed

“My heart hurts...Do I really like Ranpo-kun..?” Poe could feel tears start to well up in his orbs. He quickly wiped them away

“No no! If Ranpo has someone he likes  I should be happy for him!”

Lunch time finally came around and Mrs. Fukushima came back with a paper bag full of groceries. 

“You can go get lunch now, Poe-kun” The tall man nodded and took off his apron. He then exited the shop after putting on a thick coat and a scarf.

On the way to the agency, Poe tried his very best to not start crying but he couldn’t hide it. The tears and heart aches just kept coming and coming. Halfway to his destination, he ran up to a tree and wiped his tears, making sure no one was around to see him in that state. 

‘I can’t go the agency looking like this’ He took out his phone and sent a message to the detective

Hello, Ranpo-kun! I can’t go to the Agency today. There’s a lot of customers and I’ll be here for a while. I’m sorry

and send!

He felt bad for lying but what other excuse does he have? 

He walked all the way back to the shop and told Mrs. Fukushima that he’ll skip lunch today. The old lady was suspicious but decided not to ask about it. 

It was a long day, Poe had to admit. He was grateful that he did come back because suddenly there was a bunch of customers who all wanted bouquets who arrived but he was done for the day. 

“Here, Poe-kun, your pay and bonus” Mrs. Fukushima handed him a small brown envelope that was slightly thick. Poe nodded 

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Fukushima!” 

“Well, you should head home now”

“Alright, Merry Christmas!”

“Merry Christmas, Poe-kun”

And that was it. On the way home he bought a meal from the convenience store and finally made his way home. He arrived in his shabby apartment and flopped onto the small couch after placing the steaming hot food he bought. 

“Agh..I’m tired..” But at least he could finally relax. He didn’t have to return to work till January 5 and so he had a 12 days to just roll around the apartment and sleep. 

He shifted his position so his back was on the couch and he faced the ceiling. He sighed 

‘Ranpo must’ve confessed to that person already..’ Again, the tears started coming but this time, Poe was comfortable with crying. He was in his own home after all. The only witnesses would be the little furniture he had. 

Edgar Allan Poe spent that night crying and sleeping. It would be better to release the grief and sadness now than to keep it in.

Poe woke up with a slight headache which made him groan in pain

“O-Ow” He held his head and started regretting all the crying. He stood up and went to the bathroom to look at himself. He was a mess, a really bad mess. The dark circles beneath his eyes got even darker somehow, his eyes were red and puffy, his hair was sticking up in various directions and his lips were slightly dry. He sighed and turned on the faucet so he can wash his face.

As he was rinsing off the soap from hiss face, the doorbell rung. Poe finished up and headed to the front door to peek through the little peephole. There was no one

Weird

He opened the door and to his surprise, the Gloxinia he had prepared for Ranpo was on the floor a few inches from his door, along with a present. He picked up both items and went into his living room after closing and locking the door. 

He first read the card that Ranpo wrote

Dear Edgar Allan Poe,          Bet you didn’t expect this, did you? I’m not only a clever detective but also clever with surprises! Haha, enough bragging though. I wrote this to tell you that I like you. We’ve only been hanging around each other for a month i know but i really like you. You should consider yourself extremely lucky to have won the heart of the Greatest detective in the world!           Let’s go out together, come to my place on New Years. I’m not taking no for an answer ;)                                                                               Love, Edogawa Ranpo

Poe needed to process this

Ranpo liked him!? 

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

He opened the present next.

a lot of things starting with mag! mags, magdalena, magnum

Berlin: How often can you get everything you really want?

idk how to interpret this. like do i relinquish all love? i can’t experience the love my family has for me, or the love i hold for my friends? i’d definitely choose love in that case. but if we’re just talking about romantic love then maybe i’d pick my goals but honestly my goal is to like. make money (crapitalism ;)) and be happy and able to support those i love so i don’t think i could achieve that without love

Mamushi: "..." *points into the forest* "That way..." todo: *nods and follows* Mamushi: "..." *stares at the trees* "I used to play here." todo: *saying nothing* -up ahead is a deralict building- todo: is this goma hall? Mamushi: "...It's seen better days." *rubs her eye* todo: then we must hurry. we've been wasting enough time as is. Mamushi: "R-Right..." *pushes away a large plank of debris from the entryway* todo: *entering* Mamushi: *looking around* "It's...all demolished?" todo: *peeeeek* hmm? Mamushi: *spots a light underneath debris* "...Wait..." *moves aside some debris with a grunt* "...A flame?" todo: how peculiar...im sure there is a secret entryway somewhere.... ah! there we go. Mamushi: "I do not understand. Why is there a cellar down--*cough cough*" todo: are you alright, miss hojo? Mamushi: "It-It's nothing I can't handle." todo: perhaps let me hold onto the right eye? Mamushi: "What?! But, teacher...you said it was dangerous to have both in your body." todo: it's alright. we're just about there. right now, im more concerned with your well-being... Mamushi: "..." *reaches a hand to her eye* todo: there we go...*small smile* -after busting down the door- -inside the room, a strange thing is suspended by chains and ofuda- Mamushi: *stares in confusion* todo: so this is the 'impure king'.....in 1858, the monk known as 'fukaku' made a deal with karura, a spirit that possessed the kurikura blade. but even with that, he was unable to fully defeat the impure king, so he subdued him by removing both the 'eyes' and sealing them away... *smirks* so this is what the myoda has been hiding for all these years...i wonder....if we return the eyes....will that revive the impure king? Mamushi: "Wh-What? But that--that idea is monstrous..." todo: then again....i am a monstrous man. Mamushi: "...What the hell are you?" -FWOOOOOM- tatsuma: ... todo: well, i was wondering when you would show up… Mamushi: "High priest!" tatsuma: not to worry mamushi, we'll finish this and get you home safe and sound, ok? Mamushi: *stares in shock* tatsuma: i will make sure this ends with me, and i wont let it plague another generation. -a bird like entity appears besides him- todo: the vermillion phoenix karura....what a splendid familiar... Mamushi: "High Priest...?" tatsuma: now, put the eyes down...and begone! -several fireballs shoot at todo- todo: *rushing at him* -FWOOOOOOM- tatsuma:..... !!!!! todo: heh... *removing the left eye* wakey wakey~ tatsuma: NO DON'T- -too late- Mamushi: *shudders* tatsuma: hold on mamushi, we need to go warn the others!

What the hell did he do now?" shura: of all the times to go awol! *grumbles* did he find out about the execution notice? shiemi: EXE-WHAT!?! Shima: "Oh, man! If they weren't going to kill him before, they're going to now--" -shura's phone rings- shura: WHAT. IS IT? Mephisto: "Guess who it iiiiiiis~." shura: -_________- what the hell do you want? Mephisto: "I have a fun little document. Guess whose name is on it." shura: ....is this about rin? Mephisto: "Bingo! Give the lady a prize!" felisia: *clapping* shura: can you get to the point? we got kind of a situation here called THE IMPURE KING IS WAKING UP! D8< Mephisto: "Short version: Rin's gonna die." shura: I GOT THAT PART! and, spoiler alert, he and kaname flew the coop. Mephisto: "Oh! Where are they registered?" shura: we're trying to find that out! shiemi: w-we can help look for them! Shima: "Rin's pretty fast, though..." shiemi: he and madoka can help us fight the impure king, then that will clear his name right? Mephisto: "How am I supposed to know--I'm not Head Pope." "...Okay, sure." shura:.....we're on speaker mode, arent we? felisia: yep. shura: -__________________-;;;;; Mephisto: "So, have Rin defeat the Impure King, or kill Rin. Take your pick." shura:....*siiiighs* alright then kids, you heard the man. go find rin and madoka, then kick some impure king ass. shiemi: oh thank you miss shu- shura: just keep this under wraps for now, ok? shiemi: *nods* konekomaru: but....where are they? Bon: *stares at Shura* shura: that's the problem... *notices something on her phone*...............mephisto......why....DIDNT YOU TELL ME....there was a GPS tracker?! Mephisto: "I put those things on so often I lost track." *holds up his map--and sees 40 different color spots on it* "...Huh. Why did I put a tracker on _that_ person?" shura: can i narrow it down? Mephisto: "The blue dot." shura: right. *hands her phone to bon* you guys find rin and madoka, i'll help subdue the impure king. Bon: "How are you going to do that?" shura: just leave it to the pros kiddos~<3 -in the woods someplace- madoka: .....*uneasy* Rin: "..." *hugging his legs, turned away from her, seated in the tree branches* madoka: ....rin?... Rin: "...How high are we?" madoka: im not sure.......rin.....am i....being selfish? Rin: "...How?" madoka: when i heard they were going to kill you....i was so scared....and i made you run away with me because i wanted to keep you safe.....i dont want you to get hurt, rin....*trembling* Rin: "..." *hug* "Love is selfish--because the person you see completes you." madoka:...*hugs him* i guess....t-that makes sense... Rin: "...Where are we going? We can't just..." madoka:....im not sure.... -creeeak- madoka: WOAH! -CRASH- Rin: "Ow..." madoka: ow....a-are you ok? *she landed on top of him* Rin: .///. *nod nod* madoka: t-thats good... *blush* konekomaru: ._.;;;; um..... izumo: there you are! madoka: O-O;; Rin: o\\\\o madoka: w-w-we-we werent doing anything lewd!! >////< izumo: um...i didnt say you were? madoka: *realizing...and grabs a branch* im not letting you hurt rin! *her hands are shaking* izumo: *facepalm* oh for the love of. we're here to _help_ him. Rin: " 'Help'?" *holds his scabbard* "Funny way to 'help' when I got a death warrant." izumo: listen knuckleheads. do you want to stay on the run forever, or do you want a chance to clear your name? Rin: "..." *puts down scabbard* "What're you thinking?" shiemi: *turns him around.....to face part of the impure king* that. madoka: ....how did we miss that? -shiemi and the others explain the situation- Rin: "...So, it's weak to fire?" izumo: *nods* madoka: you're able to control the flames better now, right rin? Rin: owo;;;; "Kinda?" izumo: good enough. let's go! Rin: "Well, I'll need something to get up there--" ???: *cough cough* madoka: ?? izumo: ??... !!! bon! isnt that your dad?! Bon: "!!!" *runs to him* "Dad? What happened?" tatsuma: s-son? is...that you?...guess...i didnt die... -a small bird appears- karura: i have healed your wounds, but you must take it easy, or else you will certainly die. Rin: "...Why is that bird talking? And on fire?" karura: i am known as karura. once upon a time i was servant of the myoda dharmani, but when the secret was exposed, that pact was anulled. i am now bound to tatsuma suguro by a personal agreement. Bon: "So Dad can stop the Impure King--" tatsuma: i cant....im already spent. but i can tell you how to beat the impure king. it will continue to grow until it is the size of a fortress. then a large spore sack will form in the center. Rin: "...Then we just got to burn this mushroom. Where's the weak spot?" tatsuma: inside of the sack. but should it rupture, it will release a deadly miasma. Rin: "Right, that thing!" *starts running* tatsuma:....15 years ago, i made a deal with karura to use the aeon wave flame. it converts one's lifespan into flames. i was planning to use it to defeat the pure king, but i was only able to hold it in place. Bon: " 'One's lifespan'..." *looks at his dad* tatsuma:...rin...i want you to use the kurikura to cleave the impure king's core like fukaku did many years prior...then i will use the remaining aeon wave to finish it off... Bon: "And what will happen to you?!" tatsuma: *smiles* the lives of hundreds are more important than the life of your good for nothing father. karura: oh? you are tatsuma's son? Bon: "...Yes, I am." karura: i am able to transfer the aeon wave to one of the high priests blood. tatsuma: NO! bon's still so young, you musnt get him involved!! i swore on my life this plague would end with me! Bon: *bites his finger, revealing blood* tatsuma: !! karura: so that's how it is then? Bon: "It is. Give it to me." karura: so be it... -a flame appears from the blood- Bon: "!!!" tatsuma:....*sigh* i never wanted you to bear this burden... Bon: *stares at the flames* "...Just have to stop this miasma before it's too late." tatsuma:...listen close son. im going to reach you a barrier sutra. listen well... izumo: .... konekomaru: .... Bon: "Barrier...How?" tatsuma: should the spore sack burst, this will prevent the miasma from escaping....so pay close attention... Bon: "Right..." *watches* -elsewhere- shura: *slicing* damn! they keep multiplying... uwabami hojo: how are things on your end, mr okumura? Yukio: *firing shots* "Trying to hold the line--with little luck!" ???: mr okumuuuuraaaa~ Yukio: *freezes* -a red light is seen in the distance- Yukio: "...!! A fire!" myoda: good! bring it over here! Yukio: "I-I don't think that's an ally coming..." Yukio: *runs towards it* -a young man with feathered ears is staring up at the sky- Yukio: "!!! Todo..." todo: *grins* lovely evening, isnt it, mr okumura? -elsewhere- tatsuma: do you get it now son? Bon: *nods* tatsuma:...you're finally becoming a man. Bon: -___-;;; "...Whatever. Let's go kill this thing." madoka: we're right behind you, bon. *smiles* Rin: *nod nod* "Let's get going!" -back with yukio- todo: come on out boy, i just want a friendly chat <3 *throws a fireball* Yukio: *dodges, fires a shot* todo: ah, there you are. you look tired. busy night i take it? Yukio: *firing more shots* todo: tsk tsk, so violent. *It's coming down onto Todo* todo: *dodge* phew. that could have gone badly. i just want to talk. so tell me, how is your brother these days? Yukio: "Nowhere near you." -elsewhere- madoka: it almost looks like a real fortress... Rin: "With a giant mushroom in the center." kuro: rin! there's a really stinky monster around! Rin: "?! Which direction?" kuro: *points to the impure king* Rin: "...Oh. Um...Well, spores kinda smell, and you got a strong sense of smell..." madoka: kuro, do you want to help us get up there? kuro: NYEH?! rin! you guys cant be serious! Rin: "Well, yeah! We need your size and great leaping ability to get us up there to squash that thing!" kuro: *sigh* alright then. *POOF* madoka: thanks kuro! ^^ Rin: "Yay!" -elsewhere- todo: *dodging bullets* my my, what got into you tonight? Yukio: *silent, firing more shots* todo: did i touch a nerve? how's your dad? Yukio: "Quiet!" *shoots at Todo's feet* todo: i heard he's in weak condition. who knows how long the old codger has left- Yukio: *leaps at Todo, firing* todo: *punch* oops. Yukio: *knocked back* "Ugh..." todo: you must be so stressed from your family holding you back. i understand that completely... -he grins- todo: you're a doctor, correct? Yukio: "Yes...and you'll need one..." todo: from what i heard, fujimoto was also a skilled doctor. as well as a skilled dragoon, but such is to be expected of a former paladin....he always gave your brother the better treatment....and what of you? you were trained to be a weapon. his replacement, so to speak. Yukio: "Quiet..." todo: you think to yourself 'this isnt fair'....admit it. you hate your brother, dont you? Yukio: "N-No! I don't--" -elsewhere- kuro: *running along the 'walls' of the impure king* madoka: woah! Rin: *hanging on* O_O -tendrils shoot at them, but madoka shoots at the tendrils with her arrows- Rin: *flames along his scabbard, as he tries to swing at them* kuro: rin! i see a bolder down there! Rin: "To land on, or toss at this thing?" kuro: to land on! Rin: "Okay! Then do it, buddy!" -nice landing- Rin: "Okay! Now, point me to it's soft spot!" madoka: bon, get ready. -a large round shape is in the center- Bon: "Okay...Just got to prepare the incantation..." madoka: we'll hold off the enemy. Rin: "Right!" *holds the scabbard on fire* madoka: *shooting arrows* Rin: *striking at flames* Bon: *inhales* -elsewhere- todo: already tired? Yukio: *panting, struggling to stay standing* todo: *smirks*.....?? oh? what's this now? Yukio: *aims again--but stumbles, firing just past Todo* -several magic circles begin to glow- todo: so you werent just aimlessly shooting....clever boy. Yukio: *smirks* "You will be contained now..." -several watery creatures appear, some female looking, some male looking, some resembling children- Yukio: "Naiads..." todo: *smirks* water beats fire....well im right in a pickle, arent i? Yukio: *gets on his knees, panting, exhausted* todo: heh. you cant even keep up...so much for in your prime....*lunges and pins him to the ground* how boring...perhaps i should kill you here and now... Yukio: "L-Let go!" -inside the impure king- madoka: rin! look out! *shooting arrows* Rin: *dodges, still trying to unsheathe his sword* "Damn it..." -elsewhere- shura: ..... !!!! oh shit- everyone! outside the barrier! now! Monk #1: "!!!" -the spore sack twitches violently- Monk #2: "That d..."Monk #2: "That ain't good..." -BOOOOOOOOOOOM- Monk #1: !!!! -elsewhere- todo: *pulls back fist* good night, yukio okumura~ *about to punch* Yukio: "NO!" *he's feeling warm...* todo: hmm? *FWOOSH* todo: *jumps back* well, this certainly is a game changer... Yukio: *trying to look* ("Everything's dark...No...Blue?") todo: seems i underestimated you...those eyes.....they arent your own... -POW- todo: *knocked back* oof- Yukio: *vision slowly returning* "Wh-What?" todo: well, fancy seeing you here mr shima. juzo: word to the wise, it's not a smart idea to go flaunting your flames about like that if you're trying to hide. Yukio: ("...Flames...") juzo: after all the lives you have ruined, there wont even be ashes left of you, todo! -inside the impure king- madoka: *cough* rin! bon! are you guys ok?? Rin: *forcing a smile, as he swings his sheathed sword at tendrils* "Just fine!" Bon: *focusing the fire* "..." kuro: *looking at a large entity* t-that's- impure king: *ROARS* -outside the barrier, rain begins to fall- Bon: "...W-We can't stop this thing...It's not possible..." -elsewhere- Yukio: "..." *light bulb* todo: *still battling juzo and the others of the myoda* Yukio: "Um, excuse me? I think I have an idea..." juzo: eh? monk: you want to make a strategy now?! Yukio: *shrug* "It's that or Todo keeps gaining ground..." juzo: ....alright. what do you have in mind? todo: done already? awww, but im just getting started~ Yukio: "So you'll hold him while we let Mother Nature weaken him..." juzo: right. narumi! shishamo! take the lead! Narumi: "Have at thee!" todo: *battling* *smirks* have at me all you like, i'll just absorb the weaker flames anyway. it's almost like trick-or-treating! juzo: TRICK OR TREAT THIS! FIRE LIFE SAMAHDI! *throws a bigass fireball at todo* -BOOOOOM- Yukio: *watches* "Just a bit more..." todo: fighting fire with fire? despite how the saying goes. it wont work-...urk-...w-what? Yukio: "Over-working yourself in your old age, teach?" todo: ....clever boy... -FWOOOOOOM- *Everyone is blown back, Yukio having to hang onto a boulder...* juzo: is he....dead? Yukio: "He's ash." ???: huhuhuhu~ Yukio: "!!!" todo: *getting up, his body ash and crumbling* making me overheat. not a bad plan...however, dont underestimate the healing abilities of a phoenix... Yukio: "No..." todo: *crumbling in the rain* oh...i forgot its raining...this might....make recovery difficult... -inside the impure king- madoka: *panting* this is bad... Rin: "J-Just have to keep going...as long as we can..." madoka: r-right. cant give up now... Bon: *stumbling, his finger still pressed to the ground* kuro: *clawing at tendrils* Bon: *panting, staring* "How much longer...?" karura: with thing going the way they are, the barrier may not last if you continue to be exposed to the miasma. Bon: "I'm fine--" *cough cough* madoka: !! Rin: "Bon! Hang on! Let us protect you like those princesses in fairy tales!" Bon: "...The hell you just call me?!" madoka: ^^;; dont worry, we got you covered! Rin: "Yep! Shining Knight Madoka and Rin to the rescu--" *cough cough* madoka: rin! Rin: *waves his hand* "I-I can do it..." *smiles* "Just trust me..." madoka: *nods and keeps shooting arrows* Bon: *on his knees and hand, trying to keep a hold...* Rin: *knocking down tendrils* impure king *ROAAAAAR* Rin: *thinking, as he sees a small flame on his shoulder* "...Could I...?" madoka: *nearly about to collapse* Rin: *remembers...* "Do these flames only burn humans or..." *spots Madoka* "!!!" *catches her* madoka: *pant* t-thanks.... RIN! BEHIND YOU! Rin: "?!" *turns* -a large tendril is coming down onto them- Rin: *tugging at his sword* "Come on, come on!" -why was i saved?- Rin: ("...I just wanted to be a hero...But then...I'm...") -why did fujimoto save me?- Rin: ("Because...Because...I...don't know.") -why are you alive?- madoka: RIN! Rin: *flames are along his back* "..." madoka: ....*holds his hand* Rin: "!!!" madoka:....*smiles* Bon: "Urk..." *falling down* madoka: !!! Bon: *he lets go* Rin: "Oh crap..." shura: *fighting off tendrils* GUYS! NOW ISNT THE TIME FOR MAKING GOOGOO EYES AT EACH OTHER! D8< Rin: "THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING! I'm trying to figure out how to burn these things!" shura: USE YOUR SWORD THEN! PROVE FUJIMOTO HE WAS RIGHT TO RAISE YOU! Rin: *tugs on the sword from its sheathe* -why did he save me?- Rin: *removes the sword* "So I can do this!" *ignites in blue flames* madoka: !!! *smiles* shura: *grins* raise hell, kid. Rin: *leaps and slices at tendrils* ("This is too slow...") ???: good grief. this is pathetic to watch. Bon: *lying on the ground* "Wh-What...?" Rin: "?!" -a large bird like creature has appeared besides rin- bird: i am ucchusma. the impurity kongo. the impure king is my age old foe. the blade you wield was once our lord's weapon. if you desire to defeat the impure king, i will teach you how to guide the flame. Rin: ._. "...'Kay. What's Step #1?" -the bird has now possessed the koma sword- Rin: " So, you gave me a power-up?" ucchusma: more or less speaking. i will call forth the fire life samadhi, a flame with the power to burn anything in the material world. with that, i will purify the impure king and the whole mountain with flame using your flames of satan. Rin: "Wh-What?! By 'material,' that'd kill everyone on this mountain!" ucchusma: so? it is of little consequence. all those who entered the impure palace and were touched by its servants are contaminated. the impure king can come back from even a remnant, therefore each one must be purified. let us go. Rin: "...So, just need to burn away impurities...even those attached to living flesh..." *small sneer* ucchusma: *chanting the sutra* Rin: *repeating the chant* ("So what do I do...") madoka: *running up the steps, shooting at tendrils as she does* Rin: ("Just need to burn...") impure king: *ROOOOOOOARS* madoka: RIN! Rin: ("Burn it all...Burn it all!") -CLANG- ucchusma: ?? why do you hesitate? Rin: "...Because...I can't kill them..." -its in your nature- Rin: ("No...I mean, I know I am...Satan's son...") madoka: *jumps* -BURN IT ALL! BURN IT! SCORCH THEM! THEY WANT YOU DEAD! KILL THEM BEFORE THEY KILL YOU!- Rin: ("...I want to...") -hug- madoka: *she had jumped onto his back, and is holding him* it's ok rin... Rin: "...What do I do...?" madoka: *holds his hands* we got this. all of us. *smiles* Rin: *inhales* "O-Okay...I just have to focus--* *FWOOM* *Flames cover Rin and Madoka* madoka: !!!....*closes her eyes* it feels warm... -a large wave of blue flames appears- uwabami hojo: !!!.... wha? monk: hey, only the fungus is burning off... monk 2: feels kinda nice actually... Yukio: "...Rin...What the hell have you done...?" monk 3: LOOK! THE IMPURE KING! -the impure palace is vanishing- Shima: "...Wow..." konekomaru: he...he did it! shiemi: *smiles* i knew he could do it! izumo: well i'll be... true cross member: wait, satan's son is...helping us? true cross member 2: am i tripping balls right now? Monk #3: "Not exactly proper language..." -the impure king has vanished, and rain still falls- Rin: *panting* "...Damn..." madoka: ha.....we....*she hugs rin tightly* we did it!! Rin: .\\\\. "...We did?" *looks around...then smiles widely* madoka: ^////^ *tears falling* Rin: "???" *hug* madoka: im so proud of you rin. Rin: "...You are?" madoka: ^^ of course rin. *smiles* shura: great job, kiddos. the three of you are heroes. -several people come running up- konekomaru: okumura! Bon: *struggling to stand* Shima: "What the heck did you all do up here?!" madoka: well...we beat the impure king. ^^ izumo: *JAWDROP* she says it so casually....are you _sure_ she's a rookie? shiemi: wow! so brave. madoka: oh, i was terrified! but i couldnt let that stop me. Rin: "Always brave is more like it..." *rubs the back of his head* ^\\\^ shiemi: ?? yuki? Yukio: *grim stare, as he marches up the hill* Rin: "!!! Bro! Look what I did! I told you I'd do this!" shura: ?? Rin: "I said I'd be the hero you wanted me to be, who Dad would want, who could leave you eating my-" Yukio: *Punch* madoka: !!! shiemi: YUKI! Rin: *stunned, down on the grass* "...What the hell?!" Yukio: "I told you not to use those flames!" shura: those flames just saved our asses! Yukio: "And what if he got out of control? He is Satan's son! The powers that be could still kill him! I told you to keep control of him, and you just did not list--" Rin: *Punch* shura: *grabs him* RIN! YUKIO! CALM DOWN! *clunks their heads together* Rin: X_X Yukio: X_X madoka: D8> shura: -_-; -later- Rin: *snoring* madoka: zzzzz....*asleep next to him* Rin: *yawns, opens his eyes* "..." o\\\o madoka: *yawn* hmm? hey rin....how's your head?
