skgk u Naruto dweeb
Sure I'll fucking post the first scene don't fucking test me. It bangs and one should never be ashamed of the things that bang. You're never getting that PJO fic at this rate.
First scene of a fic that bangs under the cut. There's an actual premise for the fic but I think it's funner if that's not obvious.
“Hey, kid. Wanna join a gang?”
Sakura halted, kunai half-buried in the hard packed dirt. She looked upwards, blinking owlishly. 
Obito didn’t have to fight the urge to sweat, because he was partly wood and wasn’t capable of it. The desire persisted. Sakura blinked at him.
He was being ridiculous. The girl couldn’t level mountains with a punch or stop hearts with a touch. She wasn’t head of a hospital and inventor of a dozen medical techniques. She wasn’t even married. Not even to idiots. This was a whole-ass civilian child. She could barely stick a leaf to her abnormally large forehead.
“What kind of gang?” Sakura paused a beat. “I’m not supposed to talk to strangers.”
“I’m not a stranger, I’m a ninja. That’s trustworthy.” Ninjas were pretty famous for being trustworthy, straightforward people. Granted, there was an outlier that should not be counted. “And it’s a fun gang. With…uh, candy.”
Sakura narrowed her eyes. “Where’s your headband?”
“Laundry day.”
Sakura applied every ounce of her genius intellect towards considering this. Obito carefully crouched down across from her, looking down at the small and crumbling hole she’d created. Wasn’t she a bit too old to dig in the dirt for fun? 
Finally, she said, “Sorry, Suspicious Ninja-san. I have school, homework, and chores. And a class project due next week. I have no time in my schedule for a gang.”
“Not even if it’s a really good one?” Obito wheedled.
Sakura shook her head solemnly.
Obito sighed dramatically, poking a gloved finger into the small hole. He allowed Sakura to smack his finger away with the kunai, ignoring her glare. It was super cute and potentially deadly. “So you’re too busy learning away, huh? Guess you’re just another kid with no intellectual curiosity. If you’re perfectly happy with the normal classes, I guess you don’t need advanced ones…”
Obviously, that got her attention. Obito knew full well that classes weren’t challenging her. Acing all of them across the board was a point of pride, but she knew that she wasn’t reaching her potential. She wanted to ace more difficult exams, which was more pride, and continue onwards towards higher difficulty in her quest for self-esteem. She searched unceasingly for the most difficult questions so she could experience the vain victory of knowing she was better than everybody else. Gifted kids. They were all the same.
“Is your gang a class?” Sakura demanded. “Is it special tutoring? Like the clan kids get?”
Ah. And maybe she wanted to do the impossible just to be as good as everybody else. That had always been the life of Sakura Haruno.
“It’s a group of people bound together by a shared dream,” Obito said mysteriously. Sakura’s eyes widened. “Yeah, we teach each other things. Special secret techniques that only we know. Here, I’ll show you one.” He looked down at the hole, brushing away stray rocks. “You weren’t using this hole for anything, right?”
“I was digging for worms,” Sakura said, frank and even. Somehow, her little dress didn’t have a speck of mud on it. 
“Cool. Uh, why?”
“They have really simple chakra networks.”
“Sorry I asked.” Obito dug his finger a little deeper into the hole, forming a small cavity, before raising his hand and cupping it over the hole. “Watch carefully. A true ninja looks underneath the underneath.”
Anybody looking from a distance - anybody from ANBU to nosy mothers - would have assumed he dug into the hole and pulled it out. But Sakura, ear to the ground and big green eyes fixed on the magic underneath Obito’s hand, saw it clearly.
A wisp of green pushed through the bottom of the hole. It slowly rose upwards, leaves growing and unfurling, as it reached the top of the hole and continued to grow. Petals budded at the top of the plant and unfurled, spreading pink. Spring passed in an instant, and in a slight of hand Obito pulled the plant up by the stem and pretended it had been there all along.
It was a camilla, petals dyed as pink as Sakura’s hair. Obito ceremoniously presented it to her. She was almost unable to take it: she was stupified, surprised stiff. She knew exactly what she had just seen.
She mouthed three syllables to herself: Mokuton. Obito smiled slyly. 
Sakura finally took the flower, inspecting it closely. Somewhat critically, she said, “Camillas don’t come in pink.”
“I thought I’d cater to my audience.” Obito leaned in, and Sakura ducked her head to match him. “I can teach you how to do it.”
Sakura’s eyes narrowed, twirling the flower between her finger and thumb. “It’s a kekkai genkai. You can’t teach kekkai genkais. And nobody would, anyway.”
“I would. I’m even offering.”
“Who are you?”
“Guy who wants to put together a gang. With fun and candy.”
Sakura’s eyes narrowed further into slits. “You said the gang already existed.”
“Let’s just say that we’re getting the gang back together for the very first time.”
“Why would we say that?”
She had not warned him that it would be this difficult. Obito remembered little girls as being way more pliable than this. But most little girls would have run away from strangers offering free rides, so maybe Sakura was more gullible than most. Or more susceptible to temptation. But every great ninja was.
“Flowers have simple chakra systems too.” Obito put his hand over the pit again. “Feel for my chakra this time. Earth and water. Watch what I do.”
He made a small sapling this time, which was far simpler and straightforward than creating a flower that didn’t exist. Sakura watched him carefully, eyes closed shut, and when he finished she reached in and ripped out the sapling herself. She studied the sapling carefully before sticking it in her mouth, running her tongue over the leaves and stem. Then she spat it out, brushing dirt over the plant as if burying a body and placing her hand over the hole.
Sakura screwed her eyes shut and lay there for a long time. Obito’s mind was almost spiraling into megalomania again before she began drawing her hand up. She made several small motions with her fingers, almost pinching, and Obito watched in marked interest as a small sapling rose from the soil. It only grew an inch out of the soil, and it was nothing more than a sprout, but so was Sakura. 
When she opened her eyes and saw what she had made - when she realized that the no-name and do-nothing girl could create a mokuton as mighty as the god’s - Obito knew that he had hooked her.
Obito smiled at her, stiff and unyielding. “I have a dream. I’m dreaming of a world filled with meadows of beautiful flowers and forests of the tallest trees. You could help me create this dream, Sakura. I can teach you some of it, but you’ll have to make it the rest of the way on your own.”
The sapling sat in Sakura’s palm, and Obito knew that she found it far more beautiful than any flower. When she spoke, she stared at the sapling. “How?”
“Well…” Obito scratched at the back of his neck, laughing slightly. “How do you feel about crime?”
“Crime?!”
In the end, he had to kidnap her a bit. Technically he could have kidnapped her from the beginning, but a little work now saved a lot of work later. She complained a lot at first about her ‘family’ and ‘school’ and ‘desertion’, but she got over all of that predictably quickly. Her village did too: a disappearing child was not noteworthy in Konoha. Worst case scenario they’d accidentally stir up some ‘but I thought you kidnapped her for your child army’ situations.
Obito would create a heaven on earth, come hell or high water. Anybody who got in his way would die, from the lowliest Suna ninja to the Hokage himself. That was what it meant to be an optimist. And this little girl would be key to it all.

not sure if you're still accepting requests, but the sakura cuzzers doing literally anything in your style would be cute :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is canon and you can pry it from my cold dead hands
Kohaku Poké-team headcanons below (you didn’t ask for this but it’s so important to me)
•He would have a Stufful. 100% he would have a Stufful
“Despite its small size, Stufful has extraordinary strength and can knock out even well-trained Pokémon if they are unprepared. The combination of its cute appearance, mannerisms, and fluffy fur make it very popular. However, Stufful actually dislikes being touched and will flail its powerful arms if it is embraced. Stufful's flailing is powerful enough to break thick tree trunks” [bulbapedia] HE WOULD HAVE ONE (also consider,,,, Mama has a Bewear.)
•The other bees gifted him a Combee (because,,, it’s three lil bee faces,,, and a gift from the other 3 bees,,,,,)
People who put a Vespiquen on Rinne’s team are objectively and factually right, anyways Rinne’s Vespiquen loves doting on Kohaku’s Combee
•Him and Tsukasa both have Cherrims but his is shiny and prefers staying in overcast mode
•He has an Eevee to match his sisters’ (who all have evolved ones) and it’s a classic “trainer and Eevee figure out what they wanna be when they grow up together”
•An Aerodactyl from an old amber fossil (‘cause his name means amber)
•Pidove that was the first Pokémon he caught after leaving home (and it reminded him of his online friend Love)

is there anything you can say about infernal blooms that's significant but not too spoilery?
I got you, anon, sooo:
In this AU, Dante knew about Nero's existence way too soon, when he was approximately 2 to 3 years old (or when he was barely 1yo, I do not quite remember) and had the decision to raise him. Some time later, our man discovered he had a daughter, our girlie Evie.
Speaking of Evie, she's a sweetheart, totally attached to her dad and her family. I feel you all are gonna love her as much as we do.
Both me and Alaxie, the other creator of the AU and my best friend, we both headcanon slash decided that the family here is Hispanic-Italian-American; Dante is more fluent on Italian, speaks a lot of and also does the kids.
There's LOTS of self-indulgent elements here, one of my favorite is that when Evie and Nero were kids, they had a Cardcaptors Sakura and Bleach phase/hyperfixation, respectfully. And no, it's not because Nero and Ichigo shares the same VA on the English dub-
Trish/Lady are a must! They're gfs here and they are the best aunties ever! The kids are attached to them a lot, Nero more on Lady and Evie more on Trish.
Also, Dante in this AU is aro-ace because the authors said so, we stan.
Yes, before somebody asks, Vergil's gonna show up. Lately, but he will.
There will be angst, fluffy and funny shenanigans moments as the story goes by and as the kids are growing up.
Dante is very loved by the authors but they also put him on a lot of struggle, we are (not) sorry :(
The family moments are precious here! Very! Much!
Evie and Nero dynamic, my god! I love how they are more of siblings than cousins (since, duh, they were raised together)! I love both their kids and teen moments!
And Dante ft. The Kids too, dude, I'm-
Also, NeroKiri's gonna happen in the future! Yes, blow up your fireworks, NeroKiri nation!
Heavy angsty moments, I cry whenever I remember them.
But the fluff is a must, too!
@alaxamost if you wanna add something, the floor is yours, dude <3

Top 10 Persona ships/Top 5 Persona 5 ships
1 - Ren Amamiya X Goro Akechi, I used to constantly change favourite ship for Ren until Royal came out and now my brain is in constant Akeshu mode. I still enjoy other ships of course, it's just this one is my favourite.
2 - Yu Narukami X Yosuke Hanamura, surprising no one whatsoever. I don't even know how to explain why I love these two so much but chances are you already know because everyone seems to love these two idiots.
3 - Takuto Maruki X Rumi, yes I know like two other people care about this ship, let me live they're adorable and I wish they could have had the happy life they were planning to have together.
4 - Sumire Yoshizawa X Futaba Sakura, these two are so dang cute. Again, no words, they're just adorable together and I can see them tagging along with Ren and Goro for a double date just to irritate them (mostly Goro)
5 - Ann Takamaki X Shiho Suzui, do I even need to explain why I love these two so much???
6 - Tatsuya Suou X Jun Kurosu, aka the 90's version of Akeshu that Atlus actually allowed to be gay. But in all seriousness, their relationship is written so well and I love how Tatsuya supports Jun and lets him know that he does deserve redemption.
7 - Kanji Tatsumi X Naoto Shirogane, aka the two characters that helped my fourteen year old self realise that she wasn't straight. These two are still way up there in my favourite characters and again, they're adorable together. Plus, if you wanna make it even cuter, throw Rise into the mix as well.
8 - Minato/Minako Arisato X Ryoji Mochizuki, both versions are great but in the Femc route, you can really see just how deeply Ryoji cares for them (Since y'know, you're actually allowed to date him that way) but there's just such a bittersweet tone to this pairing and I kinda love it.
9 - Junpei Iori X Chidori Yoshino, god these two are just so freaking cute. I really enjoy how falling for Chidori causes Junpei to grow. I mean he says some pretty bad stuff at the beginning of the game (Which I personally believe is something he picked up from his crappy dad while growing up) and then when he meets Chidori and learns about how she sees the world, he starts to mature and look at things differently. Not to mention, another pairing I really wish could have had a happy ending.
10 - Zen X Rei, I mean... I absolutely adore these two. They would be higher if they had more screen time but honestly they're just such a sweet pair. For one, just the lengths Zen went to make Rei happy (I don't wanna spoil for anyone who hasn't played because their story really isn't what you'd expect it to be) and the way their personalities play off of each other. Not to mention, they can be pretty funny at times. One scene that comes to mind is when Teddie remarks that Rei could be as much a disappointment as Yosuke and Zen just immediately pulls out his crossbow like "Say that again, you little shit, I dare you"

The heart thing but im not gonna describe how to kill you cause youre a cool mutual however i wanna hear what makes naruto a good anime and also what makes it bad also i wanna hear your favourite headcanons of the guy on your pfp and sakura if you have any
I wanna hear you absolutely infodumps me into oblivion. Obliterate me with your naruto facts, headcanon and whatever in betweens. Take your time to answer this i will be waiting, until that here take this cat with ya ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ
(giggles and kicks my feet) thank you so much for this ask!!! ^_^
ok so what makes Naruto a good anime in my opinion are the characters, their emotions and how they relate to one another. (also it's like really gay) Naruto has a pretty big cast and a ton of filler episodes, so a lot of the time, it's used to get into different character combinations, specifically at the end of the original series, with the 80 episode stretch of filler, (honestly a bit excessive) that's basically just naruto hanging out with the other teams. filler is truly a double-edged blade, because if its not good, it is a SLOG... i didn't skip any episodes until like ep 450, where it breaks from the war (exiting, fun, plot-relevant) to cut to a parallel universe retelling of THE ENTIRE SERIES UP TO THAT POINT. it lasts like 20 episodes, and sasuke's a cop (old, dumb, acab)
another gripe i have with Naruto (the show) is best summarized by that post that's like "i miss when naruto ran around and bit people. now he's just a liberal" cause he kind of stops growing as a person at age 16. "as soon as you question your ideals, it's all over" ok buddy. how about you learn and grow with your experiences. other than that that though love the show, though I do think it's an interesting choice to redeem/offer justification for every single (canon) villain in the whole series.
OK my favorite head cannons for rock lee (pfp guy) and sakura... I think that rock lee speaks without contractions because he wants to give every sentence his all, and not take the easy way out. in a filler episode, rock lee builds a training dojo, and I think that's super in character for him, and I bet tenten helped him fix it up, and she's got a tool closet in there or something. I also hc that bor🤢 boruto Era 🤮 lee is like a taijutsu teacher and works with shino. as for sakura, I think she and Lee spar together all the time so she can improve her speed. I also hc her as an aro lesbian because I can #relate to.. the whole sasuke deal. I also feel like she would take up art, once she takes a break from work.
I actually also have a theory about naruto (the boy) I've never talked about, I actually think naruto can sense chakra signatures. this is because he sensed zabuza during the land of waves arc. it would also make sense that his sensing ability is just enhanced by sage mode instead of pulled out of nowhere. not to mention that the most powerful and precise sensor introduced is an Uzumaki as well. (shout out to my girl Karin) probably the reason it never comes up is because he doesn't know what a sensor is 💛
uh wow that got long. starting this I was worried I didn't know enough about naruto to infodump, for some reason (I've literally been obsessed since February why would I think that) anyways THANK YOU SO MUCH for sending this ask, it literally made my week :D💛💛💛 I know for a fact you are also a very cool mutual (I have no lame mutuals) and have a great week!

Devilin' up the place is Revice Episode 39!
Not a whole lot to say other than I'm ready for some action!
Spoilers, I guess...
-"WORLDSTAR, WORLDSTAAAAR!"
-"Don't you dare give up your lives or your freedom!"
-Damn, Tasuke's passion is palpable.
-"We're going to kill that fuckin' Skygina!"
-Well, at least the people of Japan seem alright under the care of Weekend. ARARAT seems awful roomy for a shelter.
-"Let's go people!"
-Oh that's good, Hiromicchi's helping a lot.
-"Akaishi's like... the most obvious bad guy ever, why the hell is Daiji still there?"
-Man... seeing Daiji's mental state devolve into this holier-than-thou mess has been an interesting experience... though not exactly one I wish to witness again. ...at least, not as just a viewer.
-Does he even want to protect humanity at this point, or just prove that he's right? With Kagerou around, he was a lot more focused in his fighting style, and even he was totally willing to work with Ikki with just some simple curry bribery.
A lot to think about.
-Kamen Rider Revice, the latest internet meme.
-"I almost died last episode! ...anyways, wanna go to a cool hot spring when Daiji comes home?"
-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, shit! Ikki's memories!
-Man...
-What a
-...Ikki, honey, Giff murders people without even blinking, I don't think peaceful resolution is an option.
-"Heeeeeeeeeey, it's me, your Other Dad. Would you mind letting me borrow that body?"
-Both single.
-Ooooooookay, that's creepy.
-Masumi's got that old man cough.
-What's in the case, George?
-Oh, so Tasuke and Kimiko are Hikaru's parents?
-"Those Weekenders are nothing but dirty lying bastards! We must surrender to Make Humanity Great Again!"
-...y'know, delving into Hikaru's relationship with his creepy-ass parents would've been a really neat thing to do.
-Jesus Christ man, that's... well, I only assume you were married at some point, but what the hell!? He can't just ditch his mom like that!
-Ohhhhhhh, shit!
-Okay, I know that Kimiko and Hikaru aren't exactly the most developed characters, but Kimiko was part of the cast from basically the first episode, so it makes me kinda sad to see somebody who's been part of the show for so long in that kinda state. And Hikaru calling out to her in sadness and desperation too, it's weirdly moving.
-C'mon Daiji, get your shit together.
-Man, Hikaru's really going through it.
-I wonder... was Hikaru orphaned by the Deadmans/Fenix and thus treated Kimiko and Tasuke as his own family?
-Man... uh, hey, buddy? About all that stuff I said about your character feeling undercooked? I didn't mean that as an insult, I like you and want to see you grow with all your friends here. I'm sure that's how Sakura feels, and how Kimiko-san felt!
-Man... Tomoya Oku's good at crying.
-Oh hey, Hiromi!
-Ohhhhh, the Drivers are here!
-Don't rub it in, George!
-...well, at least you apologized.
-"Consider this my acknowledgement of your apology."
-Man... Akaishi's mockery is very well done, but like... ough, I wanna slug him in the face.
-Fuck, dude.
-I see Tamaki-kun's taking Kimiko's death pretty roughly too.
-Ohhhhhhh, fuck!
-He's leading the demons!?
-Ohhhhhhhhhhh, shit!
-Yep, Daiji's officially reached his breaking point.
-Ohhhhhhhhhh, fuck
-Oh no
-Fuck, man
-Man, I was so excited to see Holy Live for the first time.
-...its angel/crusader motif has taken really horrifying overtones now.
-"No fighting! >:("
-Aaaaaaand, there goes Hana-chan!
-Daiji is Justice and Justice Alone.
-Wow, Sakura's just really goin' at it.
-He may be fully devoted to Justice. ...but evidently, his sense of Hope, Patience, Temperance, and Prudence have taken a real hit with his emotional and mental breakdown.
-OHHHHH HE BROUGHT OUT HIS REAL-ASS FUCKIN GUN
-We're having a real family moment next episode. And I don't think my weary heart can take it. ...think I'm gonna watch those two Delicious Party episodes I missed later tonight. Y'know, give myself time to process and relax.

Naruhina week 2022 Prompt 1
Tumblr media
Was dying to write some NaruHina content then I wrote this drabble thing then I realized it’s NaruHina week, (My first time participating as well:))) it’s unedited but I think it’s cute and I hope you do too. Also I kinda didn’t really follow the prompt but it’s implied that Sakura is the reason these two are together. :)
She wonders when they became so in sync. Not even a month of living with each other could explain how they were able to work so well. Hell she wasn’t complaining, she was starting to believe maybe they were meant to be. Soul mates. She smiles as she thinks the word. His hand goes to her shoulder, making her grin up at his tall frame.
“Thought I lost you for a second.” He mumbles. “What’s going on in that head of yours?” He asks, pressing a kiss to her bare shoulder. She smiles, and scoops her hair in a ponytail, while shrugging.
“Thinking about you. Our home. Us.” She sighs contently when he laces his fingers with her own.
“Good things I hope.” He jokes.
“Of course.” She says, stretching to kiss his cheek. He’s sneaky though, he turns to kiss her lips and she giggles, he was always doing something to make her laugh. No matter the situation.
“I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my life with you, yanno?” She says relaxing in his arms. He smiles and looks back and forth between the desk in the corner to the beautiful woman in his arms. Her eyes follow his and then she chuckles awkwardly.
“So marry me.” He says. She laughs, and nudges her head to his shoulder
“Don’t joke like that.” He doesn’t laugh though, just moves so that he can stand and go to the locked desk drawer.
“Naruto?” She asks hesitantly and watches as he pulls something from the drawer. She tightens the sheet wrapped around her body and sits up straighter as she watches her boyfriend get down onto his knee. Her heart leaps in her chest, and she feels tears pool in her eyes. She opens her mouth to speak, but he waves her away.
“Let’s face it Hinata, You are truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I mean it. You were the first person to show me what it’s like to love and to be loved. I want to be there for you through thick and thin, I want to raise kids with you, hell I wanna grow old together and I don’t know do whatever it is that old people do. Hinata, will you marry me?”
She’s too stunned to speak; the tears are now streaming down her face as she tries to process his proposal. She can’t do anything but nod her head vigorously and he’s on her, planting kisses all over her face.
“I love you, I love you, Hinata Hyuga I love you so much.” He says in between kisses. She giggles, and now it’s her turn to assault him with kisses.
“Wait!” He shouts and slides down the sofa to the discarded box on the floor. “You have to try on the ring, I had to go through so much to see if this would fit.” He exhales and takes her left hand, slipping the ring down her fourth digit, he sighs in relief when it slips right on with no trouble.
“Naruto it’s beautiful.” She gasps and studies the ring and Naruto looks away nervously.
“I hope you like it. I wasn’t too sure what to get. Sakura said it had to pretty but expensive, and Sasuke said that price didn’t matter, as long as you liked it and then Sakura hit him, so I figured they were the wrong people to take advice from. I actually got help from Shino surprisingly. So you have to thank him as well.” He rambles nervously. Hinata shushes him and holds her hand out flashing the ring.
“I love it. Thank you Naruto. I guess I’ll thank Shino later.” She sighs happily and looks at her boyfriend, well technically fiancé.
‘I can’t wait for you to make me the happiest woman alive.” She whispers and leans forward, kissing him softly. Naruto is on her in no time, reciprocating every touch she gives him.
 Her palms are sweaty, there’s a fan on somewhere but it’s not helping because no matter what she still feels too hot. She avoids the mirrors in the room afraid her makeup is melting and sits in the middle of the bed; her wedding dress is in the bag behind the door, but she can’t bring herself to put it on.
A knock at her door makes her jump, “Hinata, one hour until the big event, are you okay?” Sakura asks, when Hinata doesn’t answer, she twists the doorknob to find it unlocked, and a motionless Hinata sits in the middle of the bed with her knees hugged to her chest.
“Hinata, are you okay?” Sakura asks alarmed. Hinata faces her and shakes her head no, as tears spill. Sakura rushes to her side, grabbing the tissue from the side of the bed.
“I’m scared” Hinata admits, leaning her head back as to not ruin the makeup any further.
“Scared for what? This is your day; you get to marry the love of your life.” Sakura smiles softly and hugs Hinata.
“I know it’s dumb to think since we’ve been together and all but what if Naruto doesn’t like me? Like later on after I’m all worn out from life?” She looks to Sakura, pouting.
“Well first of all, that won’t happen.” Sakura chuckles and wipes her new tears away. She stands and takes Hinata over to the vanity. She instructs Hinata to close her eyes so that she can touch up her makeup.
“How do you know that?” Hinata asks after a while.
“Well this is Naruto. He couldn’t even confess to you when we were younger. If you think he’d fall out of love with you than you’re just as big of an idiot as he is.” She laughs. “Seriously Hinata, you two are destined for each other.” She dusts Hinata cheek with blush and then sprays the setting spray.
“All done.” She smiles at her friend as she opens her eyes.
“Thank you Sakura.” Hinata says. “For everything. If it weren’t for you, me and Naruto wouldn’t-“
“Nope. I shall take no credit. You two were idiots but you figured things out on your own. You just needed an extra push.” She pushes Hinata’s shoulder, and then turns to retrieve the dress. She lays it on the bed and unzips the bag.
“Now c’mon Hinata, you’ve got a wedding to attend.”

REQUEST: Hi!!!! I was wondering if I could request hcs for how dabi and hawks would celebrate their S/O’s birthday? 
HEY HEY!  Fuck i love this idea i think its so goddamn cute
Genre:fluff
𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨: cursing (as always we know I have a potty mouth)
𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴: they/them
AN:

Tumblr media
【Hawks】
Okay we know this bird man is RICH 
He makes that money okay
So when your birthday shows up?
From the moment you wake up,,, 
Holy shit
He’ll have breakfast in bed with you 
(Btw he took the day off )
He’ll have chocolate covered fruit and your favorite drink in stock at all times
Literally hires a butler so that when youre cuddling he doesnt have to leave
During breakfast in bed, you watch your favorite show and your legs are over his, all tangled in the blankets
You stay in bed for as long as you want, all day, for an hour, literally hawks just wants you to have a good day
If you do get out of bed, you guys walk to your favorite shopping place, whether it's thrift shops, the mall, outlet malls, etc.
You fucking name it and he’ll fucking get a limo for you guys
He would fly you guys, but he doesnt wanna scare you cuz sometimes it can get scary and he would rather jus be able to relax his big ol wings
SHOPPING TIMES HEHABJF
Will blow a load of money on anything you fucking want
A random ceramic goose thats supposed to be for cookies?
Yes
One left shoe of a worn down combat boot that doesnt fit either of you?
Throw it in the cart.
Or if you dont want clothes, you can walk around the fancy part of japan and window shop or get really fancy clothing and walk around and mock others
Because he’ll do that with ya any day
Near lunch time, you’ll go to a really cool restaurant.
It looks like a massive hotel, and you and the bird man eat on the highest floor, on a glass balcony.
Its only you and him eating there, the only others the people that are working there.
You can order anything, from a single burger to a fucking shark
But if you can’t order without a menu, you can get one from the waiters
The menu is changed to all of your favorites, via hawks requests.
He also preordered drinks, just a soda doe
Although youre at a fancy place, count on hawks to get you guys sodas there
You vibe there for a little, eating, drinking , laughing.
“Birdy, no. I don't think you can eat that. But if you want. I can eat it to see if I’ll choke or somethin’.”
After lunch, you go and walk around a park, the place where your first few dates took place. 
You reminisce on the old lovey memories, and just its fucking beautiful
There are sakura trees, flowers, ponds (ft. frogs and lilies), literally a fucking cottagecore type dream okay?
You sit there in that park, sitting on a blanket cuddling.
You stay there, and just talk and talk.
Around 5 pm, you start to wander with him. You wander around the city hand in hand, and just explore. 
If you have a quirk, he’ll try to pressure you into using it somehow
(eventually you do)
And cause chaos wich is fun
After causing chaos to innocent civilians(safely), you wander back to your house somehow
Hawks makes dinner, as you dance around the kitchen with him to music
You prance around the whole house, singing along with hawks and his terrible voice.
You eat dinner on your roof, his red wings wrapped around you.
Suddenly
Hawks realizes something
“Oh wait oh shit. Happy birthday birdy!”
BRUH THIS BITCH DIDNT EVEN TELL YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY?
No, but his actions speak louder than his words.
You sit together as the night grows cold.
He squeezes you tight and hums the song of happy birthday to you as you fall asleep in his arms.
Your head rests on his shoulder, hands grasping his as you sleep.
He carefully picks you up, and wanders to the bedroom and sets you down.
He places a blanket over you, covering your body and he climbs in after.
He cups your cheek and kisses your forehead.
“Happy birthday birdy. I love ya.”

Tumblr media
【Dabi】

GOD THIS BURNT BITCH
He has the balls he will wake you up in the morning

But he’ll kiss your face over and over, until you wake up.
When you do wake up, he’ll whisper happy birthday to you like the cute bitch he is
“Hi, happy birthday doll.” 
I dont feel like hes not a big party person like hawks is,

I wanna do things myself for you, while teasing you all day to show you i love you to pieces

He may complain, and hes totally a fucking talker like shit like this
“Hes going to fucking die wh-WHERE IS HE FUCKING GOING?” 
Ngl you guys lose track of time and get so immersed into your shows and stuff 
You guys are so fucking hungry at the end, but neither of you want to cook
And are too hungry to eat
So you order take-out and just fucking wait
Both of you are ovedramatic for a bit and roll around on the floor groaning
Eventually Dabi just fucking scoops you up in his arms
And just starts parading around with you
Like literally you can like hit his back, and he’ll just fucking walk around with you over his shoulder like a fuCKING BAG OF FLOUR BRUH
He’ll answer the door like that, but the dude at the door is so taken back Dabi doesnt even pay and just closes the door on him
So free food
He’ll set you down on the couch again 
And then you guys will play fight, and before long 
Its just s kissing fight
This bitch is affectionate behind closed doors
You guys eat sitting on the floor, wrapped in a blanket continuing your journey into your shows
Eventually he’ll fall asleep, his head in your lap and you’ll follow soon after.
“Goodnight Dabi, thank you baby.”

CCS: Clear Card Ch. 56
Finally, I have time to read this chapter ; u;
Chapter 56 is currently available on the CLAMP-net’s YouTube Channel. Also check out @meimi-haneoka's post on the latest chapters because they're amazing and I always look forward to them when it's time to read the latest chapters.
Links for previous chapter reactions can be found here.
Reactions:
COLORED SYAORAN for the COVER!!
Syaoran <33333 I love the look on his face :3
It 1000% screams "I will protect Sakura with my life."
Right we left off with Sakura actually REMEMBERING!
And Syaoran can finally be free from the spell to spill the tea.
LOL this scene of figuring out Kaito's magic is playing out like... after a class exam, everyone is comparing/sharing their answers/thoughts/views on it.
Momo~~so cool :3
Okay, even though Kaito should've have been doing this, it's a little sad to see all his work kinda falling apart like this, given that he's literally risking his life using all this magic.
"Moving time" "Time moving forward" Holic flashbacks ><
FINAL ACT (@meimi-haneoka's post points out translation should be "final act of the story" and not "your story" so big big big difference in meaning)
WHAT FINAL ACT??? WHICH FINAL ACT?
Sakura seems to be onto something (re: Akiho)
SYAORAN! OMGSH.
Awwww pouty Syaoran from old days <333
HAHAHA the expressions on Yue & Kero's face!!! XD
LOL Kero-chan so tsun tsun about Syaoran :3
Okay, I love this Guardian's Group here. I wanna see more of their meetings and interactions, they're so adorable together.
Ahhhhhh I wanna hear these songs they are singing.
TWIN ALICES!
THE PLOT! Alice 1 who is lost in a world of dreams and Alice 2 who can't find her way back to the world she came from!!
~~~
Thoughts
Twin Alices: I KNEW Sakura & Akiho would end up getting involved in a more important way for the play. I'm also even more certain now that the climax or the ultimate "showdown" will be happening during this play--where it's literally Sakura & Alice experiencing the true reality of their roles. Also the description of the Alices is very interesting. The one that stood out to me was the Alice "who can't find her way back to the world she came from" because it reminded me of some chapters past where that mysterious voice was giving that "You cannot return/You can no longer go back" warning to Sakura. Which makes me wonder if that second Alice is referring to Sakura. But at the same time, the Alice "who is lost in a world of dreams" also sounds like something that can happen to Sakura too because "wandering in dreams" sounds very much like the yumemi/dream seers that have been featured in many other CLAMP series. Those can visit dreams of other people--so like the various characters in X/1999, and then some from xxxHOLiC/TRC. Also, both Alices are essentially "lost" if you think about it... so they both do not sound very good for either of the girls... TuT I want them all to be happy.
Sakura's Powers: Sakura is growing stronger and stronger. She has clarity, now that she has seen through Kaito's magic---hopefully this actually means it won't affect them, as Momo has shared. Also, Sakura was able to sense something in Akiho. I wonder if that means that there's something inside of Akiho that is kept lock away which prevented Syaoran and the others from sensing magic in her.
Do I have more thoughts on this? Probably but still processing them in my tired brain XD

SH Day 8- Blackmail Material
@sasuhinamonth
Rated T, Modern AU, OOC
Week 2 started, ngl the fact that I finished week 1 made me feel like it was over and done with, but I also feel like since started and wrote daily I should keep the same energy but I am making no promises.
The Hyuugas always had strict rules, Hinata was never one to disobey those rules no matter how old, outdated and limiting they were. The rules dictated her life from her appearance to her profession and even the people she could keep around her. She kept her hair long at all times just like all Hyuugas had to, her clothing was always modest, never revealing; she chose a job in teaching for as a woman taking care of others was all she was good at, even that job was frown upon by the elders for she was an Assistant at University, and according to the elders a woman had nowhere to be in higher education. They contested even her choice to teach psychology, for that was not a valid science. Despite all of the issues the elders had with her career path, her actions never truly broke any of the rules and they were always approved in the end, Hinata always awaited their approval before actually doing anything either way. She even only kept people the clan approved of, Sarutobi, Sabaku and Nara were all families of high prestige with whom she could communicate, Haruno and Yamanaka were always too chaotic and no good came out of any contact with them. The elders gave her a list of all the clans that had people around her age, the ones written in black were fine to befriend, the ones written in red she had to steer clear of.
Hinata knew that no good could come out of breaking any of the rules, she kept quiet and did as they told her to, she befriended the three Sabaku kids, one of her colleagues at the university was the wife of a Sarutobi and the eldest Nara kid was one of her students. She slowly but steadily gained more freedom the more she followed the rules. When Kurenai asked Hinata to be her daughter’s godmother, Hinata delivered the news and asked to move on her own, when the Sarutobi heir talked her up at a meeting with important family heads, Hinata asked for an extended vacation abroad. In her 25 years she learned how to navigate the rules in such a way that they wouldn’t inconvenience her too much, and she also learned how she could breach them in such a way that would never be found, she was always taking small and calculated risks, she was always careful.
However, one evening after the first day of classes a student approached her, he was an Uchiha, part of an important clan that the elders approved of. Sasuke was a senior and well known around the university, so much so that Hinata knew about him too. He started their conversation by asking a few questions about the curriculum and the end of the semester project. The conversation was pleasant and academic, he told her some of the topics he was thinking of approaching and from which angels, each idea came with a set of pictures he showed her on his phone. After about 30 minutes of talking Hinata’s opinion of him changed. People said he was the type of smart that never worked hard, yet got good grades, some said he bribed all of his teachers, but the most spread rumour was that he was an utterly shitty person, one that would walk all over anyone to get what he wanted.
“I have one more picture to show you and I think we will be done here” Sasuke muttered and started scrolling through his phone.
While watching him looking for yet another resource for a project that was over 4 months away Hinata could only wonder how those rumours even started in the first place, however, her train of thoughts was interrupted by Sasuke’s declaration that he had found the picture. His eyes lit up like Christmas trees and his smile turned into an evil smirk. In the picture Hinata was dancing, she was dancing in a club with Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno, her clothes were anything but modest, for they were showing off her back which was entirely covered in ink. Her hair was up allowing the people to see her ears which were filled with piercings. The picture was proof of her breaking over 15 of the Hyuuga rules, the picture alone could ruin her life, the elders would lock her up for shaming them.
Hinata’s terrified eyes turned from the picture to Sasuke’s amused expression. “I found this picture to be very relevant to the class and the topic I wanted to study most when I registered for it” his voice was lower, the earnest and goody-two-shoes act was over, he had successfully fooled Hinata just for fun. “However I do think I’ll need some extra help to fully…examine everything about this picture” his last words were paired with a leery look, he moved his eyes slowly from her face to her chest, legs and back up to her face. “I think meeting twice a week is imperative for a project this size” Hinata was still stunned into silence, when Sasuke leaned over the desk, putting his face barely inches away from hers “I can’t wait to work with you teach”
The Uchiha boy got up and left, not before smirking at her and adding “I’ll find you at the end of tomorrow, don’t fly away little bird, we wouldn’t want me to make missing posters with that picture, would we?”
The moment the door closed, time seemed to start again, Hinata’s heart was beating out of her chest, how could that have happened? Everyone that was at that party was close friends with Sakura, the party was small, how could she not notice someone taking her picture? She had been to a number of parties over the years and never had any issues before, but Sasuke came in which his smirk and was about to ruin everything. He was blackmailing her. Hyuuga’s strictness was not a secret, every other important family knew about it, Sasuke was fully aware that he had the ability to ruin her and he decided to toy with her. She was caught between a rock and a hard place, either fate was equally disastrous.
Hinata laid her head onto her desk whishing the world to disappear, but even her moment of internal wallowing was interrupted by a set of ‘dings’ coming from her phone
Cheer up teach
Ull see all I have planned is fun
Ill contact you when I wanna meet
Make sure to come…unless…
He had her number, somehow that brat was playing her. Had they been in school together? Sasuke was 22 so 3 years younger than her, was he a freshman when she was a senior? Did they meet or interact before? Did they have common friends? Or did she do something to attract his interest and he did everything in his power to find her?
Forgot to tell you
Put ur tongue piercing in when we see each other
Over the years Hinata got a number of tattoos and piercings, they were her silent rebellion against the elders. Due to her modest clothing and long hair, they could never be seen, however, her tongue piercing was another deal. That one was visible at times when she talked, which is why she only wore it at home and on very rare occasions outside, not even all of her friends knew about it, she told very few people about it and even fewer saw it, thus Sasuke knowing about it scared her more than the picture itself. Looking at the texts again made her want to scream and cry, how could she fix this mess? Would Sasuke grow tired if she played along with him? And what was it he wanted exactly? All she could do was wait for him to contact her and see exactly where things were gonna go…

My Clarity ~ Shikamaru x Kitsune
A little fic in which Shikamaru isn’t the only kid who gets advice from his dad through Shogi.
Honestly tho, I’m in my exam session, 9 exams, thankfully, only 2 more to go next week, and I have a burning urge to re-watch all of Naruto for some reason, and my love for this beautiful Deer boy resurfaced very VERY powerfully.
Oops.
Tumblr media
Little fox, little fox, what are you hiding behind that sly, cheerful smile of yours?
Little fox, little fox, why are you all alone?
Little fox, little fox, what's going on through your mind?
Little fox, little fox...Do you wanna play?
---
Shikamaru always knew there was something off with the red haired girl in his class -
She just seemed too perfect. 
She was beautiful, she was smart, she was talented, she was kind, she was helpful, she was selfless..
And his parents were best friends with her parents, so they would often meet up for play dates and whatever.
No matter how much he tried to avoid her like the plague, she didn’t give up, and whenever he asked her why the hell she wanted to hang out with him so bad, she’d just say
“Because I like you, little fawn.”
That stupid nickname, that soon turned into “Deer boy” irked him big time...But in a way...
He was the only one to whom she gave nicknames, so he felt kinda special.
Actually, he was the only one with whom she actually seemed completely genuine...So maybe he should actually enjoy it?
Yeah, why not, right? 
She’s not so bad, after all, and if he gets to learn something form her, all the better!
----
“Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ the obsessive mutterings went on and on like grating. She was trembling, not even realizing her cheeks were soaked, not from the rain, but from the tears her beautiful green eyes that now resembled a rainforest, were producing.
 What was going on? This can’t be happening…This was supposed to be a simple mission with her dad and her dad’s best friend…It was just a B mission at most…How could things escalate this much?
 Being a ninja, she knew things are dangerous and would put you in impossible situations…That you can even lose your life or your friends and comrades…But…
Why now…? Why so soon…?
She’s barely 10 years old…She wanted to go on this mission to see how beautiful the world outside the Country of Fire is…But this…?
 “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ she continued rambling, standing there, on her knees, on the wet grass, all muddy, all bloody, not having moved from there for at least a whole hour, so much that she almost thought she started growing roots into the ground.
 “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ she went on and on and on with no stopping, with no equivalent of time and space, of self, of body, of identity. She was lost. She was not only broken, but completely shattered. She was blank.
 “Kitsune, that’s enough. Snap out of it. He’s dead. We have to get out of here before the enemies find us. We’ve been here enough.” the man who was her dad’s best friend went on his knees in front of her and grasped her wrists, pulling her hands away from her eye sight so she will stop looking at her father’s blood. “He’s not…He’s not…He can’t be…He can’t…He won’t…He wouldn’t…Leave me…No…He’s just…R-Resting…Don’t mess around with me…” instead of focusing on her hands that were painted with clotted blood, her eyes were now in the vision of the body laying in a pool of its own blood, its chest being cut to access the heart. “I know it’s impossible to accept this, but your parents wouldn’t want you to die here because you froze up. Let’s go home. We’ll get his body in a scroll and I’ll arrange for a funeral.” the man tried to reason with the child, who, in turn, moved for the first time since the incident. “HE’S NOT FUCKING DEAD! STOP LYING TO ME, SHIKAKU, HE’S NOT DEAD!!! HE CAN’T BE DEAD! HE’S NOT! I HEALED HIM! I RESTARTED HIS HEART! HE’S NOT DEAD! I DIDN’T LET HIM DIE! HE’S TOO STRONG TO DIE! HE WOULDN’T LEAVE ME AND MUM! I’M TELLING YOU, HE’LL GET UP ANY MINUTE NOW! I DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK! JUST AS THE MEDICAL NINS TAUGHT ME! I DID NO MISTAKE! I DID NOTHING WRONG! I’M SURE!” the red haired girl lashed out at the man, shrieking so loud that her throat felt raw, almost bleeding, her emotions pouring down harder than the rain as she shook hit the man’s chest and shoulder, but he could only look at her with pity in his dark eyes, almost imagining his own son, should that have been him on the ground. “It’s not your fault, Kitsune. You did everything you could, but sometimes, there is nothing anyone can do. Some injuries are so severe that they can’t be healed, even if you are the most skilled healer. It wasn’t your fault, it was the enemies’ fault.  I promise you.” the Nara put the ANBU captain’s corpse in a scroll and picked the girl up, running back to the village and reporting to the Hokage.
 The girl was lost, had no idea what to say, what to do, what to feel – Not when Shikaku was explaining what happened to the Hokage, not when he broke the news to her mum, hell, not even when she was staring at a beautiful picture of the three of them together, at his funeral.
 No children were allowed at the funeral, as per her request – She didn’t want any pity, and she wanted to give no explanations.
She wanted nobody involved. Things were bad enough as they were.
So the only people from the school who knew were the teachers.
Not Shikamaru, not Hinata, not Sasuke, not Shino…
Nobody.
Definitely nobody.
 Her dad wasn’t dead, after all.
She didn’t kill him.
She did everything she was taught to do.
She did the cardiac massage, she was sure she felt his heart pumping again, she definitely saw him breathing…
…Right?
She did, didn’t she?
She didn’t imagine it, right?
She didn’t try to get his heart to pump again when he was already irreversibly dead…
…Right?
  ----
The little red haired girl smiled dazzlingly at the children in her class, who were also her friends. She knew she was the most popular girl in the whole Academy, but she didn't let it bother her, or change the way she behaved with everyone - Everyone was equal in her eyes, even if they were obnoxious or annoying - And in turn, she got invited to everyone's birthday parties or hang outs, and so on.
But most of the time, she couldn't go to those hang outs because she was constantly training with her parents to become an excellent ninja, and in the future, a member of the ANBU - It wasn't only her dream, but her parents jobs too.
ANBU captains
What greater honour could there be?
While other 10 year olds were playing around, she was hanging around adults, learning how to perfect her fighting styles, ninjutsu and genjutsu, but not only -
She wanted to learn medical ninjutsu, she wanted to help people, to save them, for all the times she heard all those scary stories from her parents and their friends...How they lost people, comrades, partners, friends...Because in the Great War, there was barely any medical ninja around to save them...
She couldn't allow that to happen - Not on her watch.
"Okay, class. Today, we are going to do a team activity, and we need 2 captains. Who wants that position?" Iruka-sensei asked his class, and, as expected, most of the kids nominated Kitsune, while Sasuke, Naruto and Kiba wanted to be captains themselves, and Sakura and Ino nomitated the Uchiha. This class' dynamic was always the same, and in a way, this exhausting routine was sort of comforting for the red haired fox-like girl. "Kitsune, Sasuke, step forward. As Kitsune was nominated by the most of you, she will choose first."
"I choose Shika!" in front of the class, the girl with sparkling green eyes grinned enthusiastically as she extended her arms in front of her, as a way of cordially inviting the friend she cherished the most, despite all the gasps of shock she received.
"Sh-Shikamaru? Kitsune, why not choose me first?! I'm so much stronger than that guy who just sleeps all day and is too lazy to move!" Naruto yelled at her, but she merely sweat dropped and chuckled awkwardly.
"But Shikamaru is the smartest in this class and I believe we get along very well. When forming a team, you don't have to always get the ones who are more energetic or physically stronger, but the best strategists and those with whom you can create a perfect synergy and your abilities and skills compliment each other. Having Shika on my team means that we're definitely going to win against Sasuke's team!" the girl shrugged casually, ending her explanation with a sly, incredibly fox-like smirk - One that screamed 'Victory'.
"Uh...Thanks for picking me, I guess." Shikamaru awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, before muttering his usual catch phrase "What a drag..."
Sasuke glared at the girl, despite knowing very well there was barely anyone with any kind of potential in this class, but he got around to choosing Kiba. Then, Kitsune chose Shino, while Sasuke got Choji. Kitsune got Hinata and Sasuke could barely stop himself from facepalming, but chose Sakura. Grinning at the brunet captain, Kitsune chose Ino, so Naruto was stuck with Sasuke - It was the perfect plan.
The two groups went out in the forest, in the opposite parts, and had 15 minutes to come up with a plan to steal the Captain's bandana.
"First of all, I'd like to apologise to Shika for not being able to get Choji as well. I know that the Ino-Shika-Cho formation is incredibly powerful, and that the three of you would have had an amazing synergy, but there's that. However, I'm happy that we have Shino with us, I'm sure the insects are going to scare off both Sakura and Naruto...Which reminds me, Naruto an Sasuke are going to work against each other most of the time. With Shikamaru and I as the strategist, Hinata’s Byakugan and the maturity and knowledge of Shino and Ino, we are going to make the perfect team. Besides…Ino, if you show off how strong you are, and you beat Sakura in the process, I’m sure you’re going to impress Sasuke!” Kitsune clapped her hands together, charming all of her team mates, as per usual. “Oh, but Sakura doesn’t stand a chance! She will swoon over Sasuke-kun all the time and will be completely useless! That Naruto will screw everything up for Sasuke-kun and will be loud enough to give away their position, and I’m sure he’ll argue with everyone, especially Kiba. And Choji eats all the time, I doubt he’ll do much, especially if he sees how everyone argues among themselves and does nothing good. He’s a pacifist, y’know.” Ino grinned condescendingly as she berated almost everyone in the enemy team. “Very well, then I will tell you my plan, and when I’m done, I’d like you to tell me your insight and how to perfect it, if you have any ideas. The main idea is to distract Sasuke while Shika uses his shadow to immobilize Sasuke, so I can steal away the bandana. Ino, you have to stay away from Sakura, so you won’t bicker. I need your Mind Transfer jutsu. Hinata, your Byakugan will be detrimental in finding out everyone’s location, and I have faith in your fighting abilities. Shino, of course, apart from the fact that I’m sure your insects are going to scare away some of those guys, you are a very strong fighter and very intelligent as well.” Kitsune explained simply, and everyone seemed to nod in agreement. “Actually, I think Ino, Hinata and Shino should stay together, at least in the beginning. Ino can incapacitate one person for a short amount of time, so if she stops Sasuke, I can catch him in my shadows, and you can steal away the bandana, while Shino and Hinata fight the others. Those two are sensory types, so they can find out everyone’s positions and the bugs can guide us to them.” Shika pointed out, which made the red haired girl widen her eyes at him in shock for a few seconds, only to grin widely and almost literally glow in happiness. “You’re the best, Shika! It’s always so great hanging out with you! Come on, 15 minutes passed, let’s go and win this!” she cheered to hype the others up, and it worked well enough, and it seemed to give them a little boost of confidence.
 And so, they went to the middle of the forest while Hinata and Shino searched for the enemies – Who they easily found – And Kitsune and Shikamaru split up around Sasuke in a pincer formation. Just as planned, Naruto easily gave away his position, so Shino and Hinata went to fight or scare away Sakura and the others who went down faster than expected, considering they were all split up, not in groups.
When Sasuke was the last one standing, Ino used her Mind Transfer jutsu on him, Sasuke immobilized him and the fox girl stole away the bandana.
 However, just as they were making their escape, Sasuke got out of his immobilized state and went to attack the group – The fox girl gave shadow boy the token of victory and told him to take the team away and make their escape, while she quickly beat the Uchiha and went back to them, only to see the Nara didn’t actually go with the others, but returned to make sure she was okay.
 “Very well played, everyone. Now, the 2 captains, shake hands, and you can all go home for today.” Their teacher smiled at them, while also pointing out the obvious problems in the other team. “Hey, about about we go to the BBQ place to celebrate our win?” Ino asked, smiling triumphantly. “We can invite Sasuke too, since he tried his best, but he didn’t have a team.” Was her plan, and everyone seemed to agree – Of course, the other team wanted to join as well, so there was that, but…
“Oh, uh-uhm…S-Sorry, but I can’t come. I, uh…My parents and I are pretty busy today, haha. But I hope you have fun for me as well! Take care, guys, see ya tomorrow!” Kitsune chuckled awkwardly, rushing to go home and train with her parents.
 However, she didn’t come to school the next day. Or the one after…Or the whole week, for the matter.
She was absent for almost 2 whole weeks, for the matter.
Until she wasn’t anymore.
But when she returned, she was as radiant as always.
For those who weren’t as observant as Shikamaru, that is…
What was he supposed to do, anyway? Go and confront her? No way, that would be a drag…And besides, if she wanted to talk, she’d come to him…Or someone, right?
 The biggest shock of his life was, however, to come home one day from school and finding a certain red haired girl playing Shogi with his own father, and they seemed to be very comfortable with each other? And they were smiling?
“Hey, Shika! Welcome home! Oh, you got here just in time, I and your mum managed to finish cooking earlier! Go and eat something, you don’t want the food to get cold, right?” Kitsune waved at him, smiling sweetly, but the boy could only stare at both of them, incredibly confused, his eyebrows raised so far up that they almost got into his hairline. “Wh-What are you doing here? Dad, what’s going on? Why are you playing Shogi with Kitsune?” the poor boy asked, his head almost snapping from going back and forth. “Oh, w-well…I was pleasantly impressed with your intelligence and strategy, so I came here to praise you to your dad! Also, my mum said she always enjoyed learning and playing Shogi with him, so I thought I’d give it a shot too! You should have heard her, honestly, Shikaku beat me again at Shogi, you should have seen the new stunt he pulled today! It was completely revolutionary, we could totally use it in our next mission!” Kitsune laughed lightly, trying to calm the boy down a bit. “You have to be careful, son, she might just win against you if you slack off too much.” Shikaku teased his son, who could only groan and leave to eat. “Tsk…What a drag…Troublesome woman…” the boy muttered, leaving the place that got immediately much darker. “You can stay for dinner, Kitsune. We can call your mother as well, if you want. I doubt she’d have been up to cooking anything after what happened.” the Nara sighed deeply, crossing his arms and looking attentively at the frail girl in front of him, who may as well be close to shattering. “N-No…I-I…I couldn’t…Do this to her…I’m afraid…Something’s coming…Something incredibly bad…If I’m not there, who knows what will happen…Uhm…Thanks for today, Shikaku. I appreciate it. And he would have as well. See you tomorrow.” She got up and left the place in a hurry, going back home.
However, as soon as she opened the door, she called out to tell her mother…Who didn’t answer. Worried, the red haired girl went to the kitchen, hoping to do some cooking for her mother, who may have been still resting in her room…
But the sight in front of her shook her to the core, for the rest of her life… And since then, the last thing Shikamaru saw of her was her fox necklace that she left over to Shikaku the next day she went for a Shogi play.
He hated to admit it, but this woman…This woman, he actually missed, but no matter how much he pestered his father for an answer, he would only say  “Soon”.
What was such an enigmatic and vague answer supposed to do to reassure and inform him in any way that he will meet her ever again?
He never even had the time to play Shogi with her, or chat properly, hang out by the field to watch the clouds go by…And graduate together, maybe even get put in the same team…
He couldn’t believe this was really happening, and for a while, he actually hated the girl for just leaving like that, without even saying goodbye to him.
Oh, if only the poor boy knew the truth…
  ----
Years passed, Shikamaru was already the first Chunin from his class, they already went in enough missions as teams, and were old enough to see the world in new eyes…Yet nothing could compare to what their parents saw in the Great War, so they were still green ninjas, unaware of the true horrors of this world.
 He was already 16…He couldn’t believe 6 years passed since he last saw that little firecracker named after a cute fox that he used to call “friend” in his Academy days. Every year, when the day of her departure came by, he’d take the day off and go to the spot they would both spend time, watching the clouds – And for some reason, he would always see a fox shaped cloud.
 It was such a drag.
 However, on the 6th year, his father stopped him from going to the field, instead, asking to play Shogi, something that confused the boy greatly, but he decided he should listen to what his father had to say.
 But never, in his life, would he have expected that his father finally saw him as old enough to tell him what happened to that mysterious girl who disappeared so suddenly.
He told Shikamaru everything that happened on that mission gone wrong – The Kirigakure ninjas attacking them, Kitsune’s father saving her and dying in the process, and the little girl snapping, going on a rampage, and when returning to her father’s side, she tried to revive him for so long, that he thought he wasn’t going to be able to pry her away from his body. The shock that completely stunned her, seeing herself in the reflection of the cold water, trying to scrub away the blood from her hands – Blood that wasn’t there anymore, but she kept seeing it – She tried and tried and tried to wash it off – To even claw it off – aggressively scrubbing away with her nails, leaving trails all over her arms.
 And that day, when Shikamaru caught them playing Shogi – When she got home, she saw her mother hanging in the kitchen – She couldn’t take it anymore. Her mother loved her husband so much, that she couldn’t handle being without him anymore, nor could she handle staying in the same house with the daughter who looked so much like him.
 Her mother committed suicide.
 It was a clear sign to Kitsune that she should get the hell out of Konoha, before she would lose herself completely.
But even then, she held Shikamaru in her heart, which is why she asked Shikaku to give him her necklace before she left.
 She had no idea where she wanted to go, but she had to.
 And that day, when she played Shogi, the strategies she took, influenced by Shikaku’s aggressiveness in the game, made the both of them realize that the deer boy was too precious to her to sacrifice, as a mere Shogi piece.
So she left to get better and protect the last person she loved who was still alive.
And Shikamaru felt guilty for resenting her for 6 years.
 ---
“I wonder who’s our other team mate. Lady Tsunade didn’t say much about this person.” Ino asked, dangling her feet, bored, staying on a tree branch. “I heard it’s a girl!” Choji munched on his crisps, not really caring much. “Dad said it’s some ANBU captain or something. What a drag, that means this mission’s going to be more difficult than before…” Shikamaru groaned, slouching down. “As usual, you come up with the best strategies. It’s weirdly nice working with you again, and –“ the angelic voice of a woman was heard by the trio, who immediately perked up in curiosity, as in their field of vision, Shikamaru’s father walked by, wearing a relaxed and joking smile on his face, side by side with a much shorter individual, with long hair, kissed by fire, dressed in the usual ANBU outfit, with a fox mask covering her face, and a few weapons strapped to her back. “Is…Is this our team  mate?” Ino gasped at the beauty in front of her. “I sure hope so.” Choji chuckled, nudging Shikamaru, but the boy could only stare at her, frowning, unable to utter any word. “Here’s your team, Kitsune. I’m sure you missed being around your friends –“ but Shikaku couldn’t finish his sentence, for as soon as the girl saw the brunet boy, she got rooted to the spot for a few seconds, before squealing and throwing herself in his arms, hugging him as tight as possible. “Shika!!!”  she cried out, twirling around with him, not wanting to let him go. “I missed you so much, Shika~!” “K-Kitsune…? Is that really you…?” poor Shikamaru couldn’t even hug the girl back because of the extreme shock he was in, but his father’s chuckle snapped him back to reality. “Yes, silly, it’s me! I’m back.” The girl quickly took off her mask, putting it to her waist belt, flashing the same dazzling white smile of hers – The same one that completely stole his heart many years ago. “Remember me?” “Y-Yeah, ‘course I do, uhmm…” he tried to stumble over his words, despite the blush creeping on his face. “My…! You grew up so much! And you’re absolutely gorgeous! …Eh…~? Look at you, you’re so cute with red cheeks! And you’re even wearing my necklace! I’m so happy, Shika…! Your parents must be so proud to have the smartest and prettiest child in the whole Country of Fire, right Shikaku~?” the red haired girl giggled teasingly, making the poor deer boy so flustered that he had to fry her off and look away, while his friends and dad were laughing at him. “What a troublesome woman…! Tsk…Stop being so familiar with me, you’re annoying.” Shika tried to fend off, but the girl feigned that annoying puppy dog eyes that she always did when she was little and she wanted to spend time with him. “Th-Then…You didn’t miss me, Shika? At all? Not even a tiny bit?” she asked in the most pitiful voice, pouting and getting closer to his face, which in turn, killed him instantly. “…Fine, yeah, maybe, whatever. Let’s go on our mission.” The poor boy grumbled, walking ahead of everyone, not even bothering to say goodbye to his dad, as his friends were already teasing him and laughing. “He’s so cute~!” the girl grinned, carefree, following his lead.
 The road to the mission’s point was filled with light chatting and some catching up, but for Shikamaru, the situation was different – Every word she uttered, he analysed and scanned, as if looking for any string of white lie that sewed together a perfectly made up story.
 She wanted to learn a more diverse range of skills so she went to learn from other Ninja villages and random renowned rouge ninjas and samurais…
And, allegedly, 2 years prior, she returned and joined the ANBU, and chose only the longest missions that led farthest away from the Country of Fire.
 How dubious…
  “Shh, stop, here we are.” Kitsune stopped abruptly, crouching down on the branch carefully, squinting and watching like a hawk every one of the grouped up ninjas, almost as if she was peering at them under a microscope – Every micronic detail, she sketched in her mind and carefully created a plan to take them down, before snapping her fingers once to draw her team’s attention towards her. “See that guy with blue hair, tied up, and black eyes? That’s our guy. We capture him, and kill everyone else. Easy enough?” despite muttering in a low voice, her piercing gaze didn’t move for not even a single pico-second. “But…Kitsune…? I don’t mean to sound doubting…But there must be at least 50 ninjas out there, and they seem to be at least Chuunin level. And weren’t Kirigakure ninjas supposed to be bloodthirsty and to be using poison?” Ino asked, obviously very worried. “They aren’t Kirigakure ninjas, but yeah, you are right about those guys. These ones are in disguise, but not great ones, I’d have to say. See that guy with orange hair? His sleeve is raised up, and a brown tattoo can be seen, which indicates they are from Iwa. Very annoying and strong. Those stupid guys have an Iwakage who can eradicate everything in sight with that stupid particle-something jutsu of his…And they have an explosion department…Thank God I didn’t remain in Konoha…” Kitsune muttered, the corner of her mouth raising into a triumphant smirk that meant she was going to create a blood bath. “Explosions?! How can we protect ourselves against that?” Choji was almost comically trembling, eating crisps even more rapidly than before. “Unfortunately for you, neither has a Lightning chakra nature, so we can’t actively deactivate them…However…I trained with the best puppet master in the world, who so happens to have as a partner the most fanatic, yet talented bomb artist, so I know how to go against these guys. Shika, Ino, I want you to make sure you get the leader away from the group. Since you can get in his body, just say you need to pee or something, and that you’ll be back, which is when Shikamaru will use his shadows to get him towards us, and then three of you will protect him, while I kill this lot, got it?” she asked, finally snapping from her hawk-like self and taking out her weapons, soaking them in poison with a wet cloth. “That’s not the best strategy, I’d say. We do nothing, while you do all the work. I am more than one-man hit, y’know? I grew up and trained too. I can get at least 20 of those guys.” Shikamaru’s annoyed voice perked up, surprising the girl, who could only blink and look at him with big, almost fawn-like eyes. “I never doubted any of you for a second, and if it seemed that way, I apologise sincerely. Thing is, I’m an ANBU, and out of all of you, only you, Shikamaru, promoted to Chuunin. Now, I’m not saying that these grades matter, because they don’t, but at the same time, I’m responsible for you, and I don’t want to go home with one of you dead in my arms, and having to hold your funeral. I told Tsunade to let me do this alone, but she insisted I pair up with you. I want you all to promise you won’t get in my way and attack, unless necessary, got it? As I said, I absolutely REFUSE to get your blood on my hands, capiche?” Kitsune’s voice became very dry, dark and poisonous very fast, which made the blonde and chestnut haired ninjas gulp and nod fiercely, while the brunet only frowned in anger. “We aren’t 10 year old anymore, Kitsune, and neither are you. This ain’t the mission you went to 6 years ago, and nobody will die on your watch, got it? If you keep being afraid of taking risks, you’ll fail.” Shikamaru got closer to her face, arguing her plan. “Shikaku told you what happened, didn’t he? Well, I should have known, it was bound to happen. Nonetheless, as I said, I’m the leader of the team. You do as I say, or you go home. I will have NOBODY’S blood on my hands. Now go do your jobs and do NOT put yourselves in danger unless I say so.” Kitsune, for the last time, warned the trio, then got up, took off her konoha forehead protector and switched it to a rogue-one, then put back her fox mask and raising her arms up, she attached chakra string to each and every ninja, except the target. “Now, Ino, Shikamaru, go get him.” She commanded in such a dark and monotone voice, almost as if she suddenly transformed into the villain of the series.
 Despite disagreeing with the plan, the two did as were told, and very easily, lured their victim into the perfectly placed trap, and now, the trio were his guard.
Further, Kitsune grinne widely behind her mask, chuckling and jumping down from the tall tree, as she used her fire chakra to burn the string, and in turn, the victims they were attached to. With incredible speed and agility, she jumped in the middle of the group and started slicing left and right mercilessly, losing herself in the bloodlust that was surging through her veins, her mind completely away from reality, but in a whole new universe – Of killing strategy.
 …That is, until familiar voices – Screams, rather – Resounded through the forest, which completely snapped her away from her concentration, and in turn, getting cut and scratched in various places.
 Her eyes saw it easily – The leader escaped their grasp and ran to attempt to kill her, but Shikamaru tried to fight him, and failed, and now Ino was trying heal him. But she was crying. She wasn’t a good enough medical ninja yet. Kitsune knew that feeling all too well.
  “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ kept going into her mind, unusually loud, almost throwing her off her game.
With a raw growl, close to animalistic, she saw red in front of her, and burnt everything in her paths, slashing, dashing, cutting and ripping apart every living being there, sans the leader, whom she managed to immobilize and knock out with the help of Choji. Without sparing any second, she ran to Shikamaru’s side and fell to her knees, roughly pushing Ino aside.
It was an impulsive rush of rage, for she snatched away her mask and forehead protector and threw them as far away as possible, before shrieking at the deer boy for being so stupid.
“Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ those words just wouldn’t stop screeching at her.
“YOU FUCKING IDIOT, SHIKAMARU, I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL, DAMN IT! I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU!” she gripped so tightly at her hair that Ino thought she was going to rip it all off. “If you dare die…I will never forgive you. Never, you get it? Never. Not you. Of all people…You’re the last one alive…So you can’t. I refuse to allow you that. You don’t have the permission to leave me. Ever. Got it?” the red head growled lowly, getting one of her hands inside his chest, performing cardiac massage, and cursed herself for remembering that mission long ago, when she had to do the same thing with her father – But this time, Shikamaru was still alive, and she was sure this time around – No more lies or delusions.
  “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ she needed bloody therapy, she knew that, otherwise those words were going to be the death of her.
With her other hand, she used her other hand to prop up his head and give him CPR, once again, cursing herself for having to do something like this, when she hoped everyone would remain safe and she would, one day, share a sweet kiss with him – Not have to save his life like that.
  “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ they were louder and louder, causing almost a physical discomfort, as if someone was grating her brain.
Once, twice, thrice, and more, so much more – Sasori taught her healing ninjutsu well, and she was confident in her abilities, but there was always that speck of fear and PTSD that was creeping in the back of her mind, reminding her of her past failure.
But the puppet master was an excellent teacher, and she, in turn, was a hard-working and diligent student, so there was no way she was going to put the man she loved on the list of people she let die.
  “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
“Argh…Too close…” a hand suddenly pushed her aside weakly, and a cough snapped her out of her focused mindset – And blinking away to reality, she realized that the Nara boy was sitting in front of her, breathing normally, and coughing a bit, wearing a scowl on his face.
  “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off –“ the threat is over now, you can stop already, he’s not dead...Like your parents.
“…Oh thank goodness…” Kitsune groaned, letting herself fall on her back, looking up at the sky, her nails digging into her arms now, trying to snap herself back to reality completely. “I won’t forgive you for the stunt you pulled.” She muttered absent-minded, not caring about anyone around her anymore. “…What a troublesome woman. She’s gonna scold me all the way back home. Great.” Shika tried to chuckle, lighting up the mood, but the red haired girl was already on her feet, tying up the target and carrying it, walking in the direction of the village, without saying another word – Her face now again, covered with her mask, showing that she didn’t want to be approached in any way. “Shikamaru, you insensitive idiot! You, jerk! Is that how you treat the woman you love?! She was just worried about you, and you throw away words like that?! Go and apologise right now!” Ino shouted at him, nagging him like she was his mum, so much that the boy could only sigh and drag his hands down his face in annoyance and resentment.
And he actually tried, for once, to reconcile properly, but the only words that she told him were “You have to rest properly when you get home.” And then she just rushed farther and farther ahead.
And that’s just what he did, as the girl guided him home, let the others go to theirs as well, while she went to the Hokage to report to the mission.
After taking a nap and resting, as advised, he left his bedroom and went to the kitchen, seeing his mother frowning, which confused him.
“What happened?” he asked, knowing something was up. “Well…Nothing, really. Your dad is playing Shogi with Kitsune…And I just remembered her mother and the good times when we were friends. Too bad the good ones always die first.” Yoshino sighed, sweeping absent-minded. “Uhm…Y-Yeah…I guess.” He muttered, not having a clue what to say in such a situation. “Won’t you be a dear and tell her to remain for dinner? Poor girl, she’s been all alone since she was 10…I can’t imagine how horrible it must have been…” but she stopped herself before saying anything more that would have upset her, so Shikamaru left the room, believing that letting her just be would have been better.
 However, instead of making his presence known, he decided to just open the door ever so slightly, enough to peep from behind and watch the interaction going –
Kitsune was sitting in front of the Shogi table, her head slightly hung, her outfit still unchanged – And she said no word, but it wasn’t clear if she was listening to his father either.
  “You can take off your mask now, Kitsune. The mission is over. You can get dressed in Shikamaru’s clothes. Why don’t you sleep over?” Shikaku tried to get a response out of her, even beginning the match, but she seemed to be in her own mind. “No.” she finally muttered after a while, yet she made her move as well, almost robotically. “Kitsune. The mission is over. You can relax now. You are allowed to. You did well and nobody got hurt. Get out of your mission-mind,  you’re home now.” The man tried again, but it was clear the aura around the girl became more and more agitated. “Shikamaru almost died.” She pointed out bitterly. “As far as I’m concerned, my son is sleeping in his room as usual. He didn’t complain about his team leader, nor of any injury or danger. If he is fine, so should you be. You can’t take anyone’s pain.” His father spoke again, and with each word, he found himself nodding in agreement. “I ALMOST KILLED YOUR FUCKING SON, SHIKAKU! ARE YOU DEAD? ARE YOU BRAIN-DEAD?! GET ANGRY! YELL AT ME! BEAT ME UP! SCOWL, CURSE ME, INSULT ME…FUCKING DO SOMETHING! YOU ALMOST HELD YOUR SON’S FUNERAL BECAUSE OF ME! I am the one who killed your 2 best friends, and now I almost killed your son too! Why aren’t you reacting in any way?!” the fire outburst of the girl scared the boy out of his wits, flinching when she slammed her fist on the Shogi  table, breaking it in two, all pieces getting propelled in different directions, as she shouted at the irritatingly-calm man in front of her. “I will do no such thing, Kitsune, because, first of all, I am not mad at you. It was not your fault, I tell you now, the same as I told you before. It wasn’t you who killed your parents, nor was it you who endangered my son. We are all ninjas, and we serve with our lives on the line. Unexpected surprises always happen, and we can’t predict everything, but we can do our best to avoid them.” Shikamaru’s heart was close to bursting with emotions and words that he wanted to let out, as he felt his fingers digging deep into the wood of the sliding door. “I. Almost. Killed. Shikamaru.” The girl hung her head down, prying away her mask and throwing it away in disgust, her long, fire-red hair completely hiding her tear-stained face. “I argued with him. I insulted him. I cursed him. I yelled at him. In the end, he almost died…Because of me. And…It was just like back then. Almost perfectly like back then. They weren’t paying attention, the enemy escaped, he tried to protect me and got hurt…And I got soaked in his blood. My hands was grasping his heart, and I was helping it pump more and more blood…I was helping him breathe…And all I could do was pray…And pray…And pray again…That he won’t end up like them…But I’m selfish, Shikaku. I didn’t think of you, nor that I almost killed your son. I was only thinking about my own self.  I’m selfish and I don’t deserve him.” Her voice become so soft, so broken, as she trembled and sobbed in her hands, not being able to stop the flow of tears and emotions from running astray. “Kitsune…Shikamaru doesn’t hate you, nor is he blaming you for what happened. Stop blaming yourself for things that were inevitable. The most important thing is that you were able to save him and bring him back home safely.” His father sighed, yet his eyes were looking with understanding at the pitiful girl – He knew very well the heartbreak of loss and he didn’t wish it upon anyone, especially such a sensitive young girl. “Scrub it off. Clean it off. Take it off. Claw it off. Rip it off. Saw it off. Carve it off. Rinse it off. Wash it off. Cut it off...That’s the only thing that kept going through my mind, over and over and over again, and I couldn’t stop it! Just like back then...I couldn’t control it. I swore I was going crazy. I was sure he was going to die, and I would remain with his blood on my hands for ages, no matter how hard I’d try to wash it off or even burn away the skin on my hands.” she was shaking so much now, digging her claw-like nails deep into her arms, dragging down and scratching her skin, almost giving herself a sort of comfort, knowing she was still alive, and so was Shikamaru. ”You have nobody’s blood on your hands, Kitsune, understand that. It wasn’t you who killed your parents, no matter how you put it. You tried to save them, but they were beyond saving from anyone. There was nothing you could have done.” Shikaku tried to remind the catatonic girl once again. “…If Shikamaru dies, all the people I ever loved won’t be on this Earth anymore…So there is no reason to live anymore…No matter what, Shikamaru, out of all the people in the world, MUST live. If he gets in danger again, I think I’ll go insane.” She gritted her teeth as her hands made her way into her hair, gripping at it painfully, until the whole world stopped – And once again, time and space were absent from this house –
“I think he feels the same about you.” Shikaku smiled, seeing his son frowning at the girl from behind the door, and motioning to him to get out of there and take the reigns properly, like a man. “What would you know?!” she sneered at him, snapping her head up, only to see the man getting up to leave, and, to her surprise, a pair of arms sneaking around her, pulling her into a tight hug from behind. It was the deer boy, nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck.
“You’re such a troublesome woman, you know that, right? When I said you were going to scold me, I was hoping you’d do that. I hoped it would help you relax and vent away your frustrations. I never imagined you’d get so upset over it. Sorry I screwed up your plan, neither of us were paying attention to our target…We were worried about you so we were looking at you…I’m sorry.” He spoke in the most sincere voice she ever heard him speaking, and she couldn’t help but start crying again, turning around and letting herself melt in his embrace, burying her face into his chest and gripping tightly at his shirt. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I screwed up everything – From 6 years ago, to even now, I’m so sorry, Shika. I should have told you everything, but I couldn’t and I screwed up everything.” She kept apologizing over and over, but the boy couldn’t understand why, so instead of saying anything, he cupped her face and placed a short, yet very soft and sweet kiss on her lips, hoping to snap her out of it. “Stop blaming yourself for nothing. I won’t die, and you won’t die, okay? We’re the smartest people around, I’m sure we can screw with everyone. Just the two of us, together. Now, come on, get up, fox girl. It’s getting late, and mum’s gonna yell at me if we don’t go eat dinner while it’s still hot. Let’s find you some comfy clothes.” He helped her get up and guided her to his room, giving her a loose white Tshirt and some comfy pants. “Well…I guess I make even leisure clothes look fashion.” She admired herself in the mirror, posing and grinning in amusement, making the boy chuckle. “Yeah, ‘course you do. But, before that…Here. It just wouldn’t be fair if I was the only one wearing one.” Saying that, Shikamaru took out a deer necklace from his pocket and put it around her slender neck, before taking his own fox necklace from under his shirt, and letting it dangle out to compliment hers. “…Haha, you kept it. How nice. I don’t know about you, but if you ask me, we can’t get more soulmate-y than that.” She chuckled, squishing his cheeks and pulling him into a deep kiss that was more playful than anything, yet still dazed him a bit, as he let himself get dragged to the kitchen where his parents were waiting for them. They smiled at each other seeing the two teenagers smiling so carefree, so happy at each other – And those symbolic animal necklaces, almost dangling towards each other, like Yin tried to get closer to Yang, and vice versa. “Tomorrow, we are SO going to go and make fun of Ino and Sakura for being obsessed over Sasuke, when we have the perfect relationship right here! Ha! They’re gonna be so jealous!” she smirked mischievously, and the boy could only shake his head, but chuckle at her nonetheless. “What did I get myself into…You troublesome woman.” He nudged her playfully, and it was one of the first times that anyone around saw him not so lazy. “Fine, fine, we can go to BBQ after with Choji, if you want. Sounds fair enough, doesn’t it? My treat.” She flashed him a charming smile, and he could only shrug in agreement. “You’ll get broke, but you said it, can’t take it back now. You clearly forgot how much Choji eats.” Shikamaru teased her, but she only smirked wider. “I lived as a bounty hunter for years before I got back, Shikamaru. I could buy a villa right now. I’m sure I can afford a meal for my friends.” She flipped her hair and winked playfully at the boy next to her.
The next day, just as promised, she dragged her new boyfriend around to brag about him and how awesome he is, and all that, all while he would just blush and grumble in the background, but at least the BBQ hang out was fun and they had a good laugh, as all friends do.
When all was over, she had him go by to her home to get a neatly wrapped, big gift from her living room, and then went back to his home, before handing him the present.
“Here, open it. It’s not the best…But I’m sorry for my outburst. It was uncalled for, and I’m really, really sorry for destroying it. This…This was my parents’ Shogi table and…You should have it. And my parents were best friends with your parents…So yeah. Please take it. And I’m sorry again.” She urged him to open it already, and inside, as she mentione, a beautiful Shogi table, on the back of it, her parents names being carved, inside a heart. “O-Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. You can have your dad shave it off, cover it, or something, I don’t mind. It’s yours now.” She awkwardly scratched the back of her head,  but the boy merely shook his head. “No, it’s perfect as it is. Come on, why don’t we go out in the forest? I’m sure you want to see the deer.” He carefully placed the Shogi table on his futon and guided her out. “And we can watch the stars in your garden tonight?” she smiled at him sweetly. “Yeah, sure, we can do that. Sounds nice.”

Despite how flustered Jihoon got whenever he was cuddly with you or you were affectionate with him, he couldn’t stop himself. He was almost always touching you in some way, earning soft chuckles or teasing smiles or almost inaudible jokes from his pack. The teasing did eventually become old, but Jihoon’s blushing never stopped.
But with you now knowing you were Jihoon’s mate, there was only one thing he had to worry about now other than you going to the market without hiding your ears and tail: marking. To say he was nervous was an understatement, but so would be saying he was excited. He just wanted you to belong to him in every single sense, and marking was that last step. But Jihoon was Jihoon and despite being unable to control his instincts to want to be near you all the time, he was still shy and awkward and couldn’t manage to initiate anything.
How he wasn’t a virgin was a mystery to just about everyone.
Then again, those were just random people before. You were his mate. This was special and important and something he didn’t want to mess up. He wanted it to be absolutely perfect. 
But he wasn’t going to show his nerves or how badly he wanted everything to be perfect. He knew when the time came, he was going to act calm, cool, and collected. He wasn’t sure when it would happen because he felt like planning it out might be too weird, but he knew when it happened, he would act like he was totally relaxed and ready -- not that he wasn’t ready, he just didn’t want you to know he was nervous about making it perfect. He couldn’t let it show that he was overthinking everything.
As had become an average night, the two of you laid in bed together with your head on his chest and him playing with your hair and ears until he happened to fall asleep. But neither of you were too tired considering you decided to take a nap in the middle of the day, and Jihoon had joined you about half an hour in. The two of you ended up sleeping three hours until Seokmin woke you up for dinner. So you were talking quietly together while the rest of the house slept or did whatever they did before going to sleep.
“Who do you think will have a baby next?” you wondered since the current topic of discussion was Mingyu and Danbi’s daughter who Jihoon could hear babbling down the hall in his brother’s room.
He hummed while he considered the limited options before deciding, “I’d put my money on Woo and Soomin.”
“Really? ...Huh.”
“Well the only other options are Jia and Minghao, but I have a feeling Minghao would tell her they’re not ready. And you can’t tell me that Jooyeon seems like she wants to have a baby anytime soon,” he snorted.
You lifted your head and rolled onto your stomach to look at him, “What about us?”
You almost burst out laughing from his face when you asked that. You’d clearly taken him off guard and he wasn’t sure if he’d offended you by not including you two or not.
“O-oh... I didn’t mean like--”
“No, I know,” you giggled. “Yeah, we’re not really ready right now, huh?”
“Can I ask a question that might be rude?” he wondered.
“Is it if our child would have cat ears?”
“Yeah,” he smiled cheekily as you started laughing.
“What if it’s part cat and part dog?”
His smile turned to a pout, “I’m not a dog.”
“How come Seungcheol doesn’t care when I say you’re dogs?”
“Because Jooyeon keeps saying it and at this point, he goes along with anything she says as long as it doesn’t get her or anyone else killed, arrested, or injured.”
You shrugged with a nod, figuring that was fair enough. Jooyeon was pretty stubborn and sometimes intentionally went out of her way to push everyone’s buttons -- all in good fun, of course. One could only correct her so many times before realizing it was useless.
You shifted so you were laying on Jihoon on your stomach, your arms resting on his chest as your chin sat on your arms. You stared down at him, and he raised his eyebrows at you expectantly. Because of your topic of conversation, it had brought up thoughts that you had in the back of your mind, but you weren’t sure when to bring it up or how Jihoon would feel about it.
But now was as great a time as any other, right?
“Why haven’t you marked me yet?” you asked bluntly, your tail flicking behind you.
He might’ve stopped breathing when you asked that, his eyebrows raising but his expression staying the same for the most part. And it wasn’t because he was calm, cool and collected like he hoped to be when the time came. No, it was because he was too taken off guard to even look like it.
“Um...well...d-did you want me to?” he wondered slowly, trying his best not to stutter so he wouldn’t show his nerves despite the fact you were laying on his chest and his heart was beating a million times a second.
“Of course I want you to,” you chuckled. “I’m your mate.”
“...Now?”
You shrugged, “Why not now?”
He nodded, “Okay, then kiss me.”
Jihoon asking for a kiss was easy. It was something he did all the time without thinking twice about, so when you did kiss him, he didn’t feel exceptionally nervous. The feeling of your lips on his and the way your lips moved together was something he was used to by now and no longer got flustered about. 
When things started to get more heated, he managed to stay calm. As you began grinding down on him and feeling him slowly grow hard in his pants, you let out soft moans that had his hands gripping your hips tighter while his eyes spotted red behind his eyelids. Your lips moved down to his neck, nipping and sucking as he let out a sigh of your name, continuing to guide your hips. It was like his instincts were kicking in and he forgot about how nervous he was to do this with you.
As you left hickeys on his neck and collarbone, his hands explored your body. One went lower, though, moving underneath your bottoms and going between your legs. His fingers started rubbing your clit over your underwear, smirking to himself when he felt your hands squeeze his shoulders harder as you let out a moan of his name.
"You sound so pretty,” he mumbled, his eyes closed as he listened to your breathing and your quiet whimpers.
You broke away from Jihoon to roll on your back and tug your bottoms off. Once they were gone, you tugged on Jihoon’s shirt to pull him on top of you. But before you kissed him again, you pulled his shirt off and tossed it off the bed like you had with your shorts. He smiled down at you before kissing your lips briefly, kissing down along your jaw and down your neck while his fingers went back to work on your clit. His fingers soon pulled your underwear to the side before he was dragging his index finger up and down your slit, making you whimper and buck your hips up. He slid his finger inside you and slowly pumped it in and out, letting out soft grumbles as your moans filled his ears.
Gradually, more clothes came off until your naked bodies were pressed against each other while Jihoon worked you open with two fingers. You reached down to grab his wrist to keep his hand from moving, looking up into his eyes.
“Are you ready?” you asked quietly.
And that was when calm, cool, and collected Jihoon suddenly disappeared. It hit him what was about to happen, and he was hit with a wave of nerves that had his face turning red as his red eyes raked your naked form beneath him.
“U-um... I’m-- Y-yeah,” he stammered.
“Are you sure?” you wondered. “It’s okay if you’re not.”
“N-no, I am,” he insisted.
You smiled, reaching up to run your fingers through his hair, “Nervous?”
“...Yeah.”
“Aw, that’s cute,” you giggled.
He frowned, grumbling, “It is not...”
“Here, maybe this will be a little better,” you said as you rolled on top of him, straddling his lap. He stared wide-eyed up at you his hands almost immediately going to your hips as he admired how you looked naked above him. “I’ll do all the work and then you have nothing to be nervous about.”
You lifted your hips, holding the base of his cock and aligning his tip with your entrance. Jihoon opened his mouth to protest, but you had already sunk down on him and silenced anything he could’ve said -- though he wasn’t even very sure himself what he planned on saying. He let out a moan, his head falling back against the pillows as he squeezed your hips.
After taking some time to adjust, you began slowly moving your hips. Jihoon groaned out your name softly as he enjoyed the feeling of how you felt around his length, his eyes never leaving your body. His hands moved up your torso to your breasts, squeezing them and rolling your nipples between his fingers. You whimpered as you pressed your hands against his chest for leverage, increasing the speed you were riding him.
“You feel so good,” he growled lowly.
As you increased your speed and adjusted your angle, your tail twitched and your ears flattened on your head. You let out moans and whimpers as you chased your release while Jihoon began to thrust up into you. He eventually got impatient and needy, holding your hips in place as he fucked up into you. You mewled as your nails scratched his skin, letting him do whatever he wanted with you.
As Jihoon got closer to his release, his instincts outweighed his nerves. He suddenly flipped you on your back and began pounding into you as he growled in your ear. His fangs began elongating as he rubbed your clit with one of his hands, the other still having a hard grip on your hip that would probably bruise in the morning. You whimpered and gasped, writhing beneath him as you grabbed onto any part of him your hands would touch.
“Are you close?” he asked, his fangs grazing your neck so you knew that meant he must’ve been close.
“Y-yes,” you mewled.
It only took a few more thrusts before you felt warmth fill you. Jihoon released inside you with a loud moan before you felt something sharp in your neck that you thought would’ve hurt, but somehow caused your orgasm to come crashing down on you. You arched your back off the bed, seeing stars behind your eyelids as you came around Jihoon’s cock, crying out his name.
After riding out your orgasm, you relaxed back onto the bed. You didn’t even realize Jihoon had pulled his fangs out and was lapping at the mark to heal it faster, but his softening length was still inside you as your release mixed with his and dripped down your thighs.
“That was fun,” you giggled breathlessly.
Jihoon lifted his head from your neck to look at you, the hints of a smile on his face, “You’re the only person I know who would giggle after being bitten.”
“I’m also the only person you know who’s part cat, so,” you shrugged, “I guess I’m a little weird.”
“And I love it,” he told you before pressing a kiss to your nose. Then he pulled out of you and pushed himself off the bed, “I’ll get a towel.”
You reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulling him back to you before you snuggled on his chest like you always did, humming, “Five more minutes.”

I would've liked if the last was structured different. The story stays the same but it's different. Here me out :
the movie could've opened up with Naruto randomly thinking about his life because he's not the kid people used to hate. Then he remembers the comrades he made along the way. You can still have him acknowledge his crush on Sakura and have him question the crush. Then have him remembering people who supported him first like jiraya etc. Then BOOM have him remember his conversations with Hinata. Not the Haha funny moments but the one that have meaning. Like when he told neji he was going to make him pay. Have him question his moments with Hinata. Have him wondering if there are maybe possibly other reasons why she was always there 4 him. The story plays the same way of course. Toneri kidnaps hanabi bla bla bla. They go on a mission bla bla bla. They save the world bla bla bla.
I think if it begun that way, it would've been more natural with Naruto's perspective. Like we could still Hinata's perspective too but it would be better. I seriously thought that's how they would tell The Last. I mean it's so obvious and easy 👀.
me too!! What I would have preferred is if they began the show with moments after the war or scenes when they were 17-18 yrs old. Scenes from the blank period, how most fans would name it. I mean, it was canonically mentioned that they did in fact grow closer after the war so why not show those scenes where Naruto ever so slowly grows more fond of Hinata? Imo, the game protrayed those blank period scenes really well. They were cute as heck so i recommend watching them
I understand what the movie was going for, I really do. I get that Naruto didnt fall in love with Hinata, he realized he was in love. But the way they executed it made it seem like he only fell for her because "oh wow! she likes me?! dang i think i kinda like her too"
NO BUT LIKE IMAGINE THIS IN THE MOVIE.
Instead of the flashbacks about their childhood, the movie starts off with a scene immediately after the war where Nart lost his arm after the fight and Hinata comes running to him and Naruto is so relieved to see she's alright because he was worried as heck for her when he heard her call in the midst of the Tsukuyomi attack
Fast forward, maybe a short clip of Hinata taking care of Nart when he was armless. Then montages of them gradually hanging out together, Sakura teasing him, Kakashi forcing them to go on missions together, them having ramen dates but theyre not really dates. They couldve fit all of that in 20 minutes or so, like??? gAAhhHH
I also had this scene in mind where they went out on a mission together but there was a snow storm and they got trapped in an abandoned cave. They bond more, Naruto eats her bentos and he's all like. "Your bentos taste so good! Who taught you how to cook?" and she replies sadly "My mother" she then traces back to her memories of her mom, how she taught her to cook, how she'd prepare snacks and bentos for her and Hanabi, because for some fucking reason she wasnt mentioned in the series and Nart is like "Yknow, Ive actually met my mom once, but I wouldnt know what a mom would do with her kids." And they confide in each other about the loss of their mothers, he gushes about how he wished he had his mom's hair color, and THATS where Hinata gets the idea of knitting him a red scarf, the same color as his mother's hair. Genius? I know.
Its just, they have sooo much in common, theyre actually a lot similar if you think about it, which makes their dynamic all the more heartwarming! Hinata would know the giref of not having a mother growing up, the feeling of being ostricized by the people around you, the lonely childhood they had to go through. Theyre both the kindest and most empathetic people on the show!! I mean, theyre complete opposites but they are so much alike. You get me??
Maybe Hinata wouldnt understand the full extent of his pain BUT she would definitely understand the feeling of being shunned and ignored by the people around her. She would know what being inivisible would feel like and I'd like to think they talk about that with each other in their down time :,))
ANW BACK TO THE STORY HAHAHAHAH
The storm is gone and then Nart is like "Hey, after this, wanna visit Neji together?" then she smiles and nods and next scene~
If they started off with that, it wouldve established to the audience that they indeed grew closer after the war and it would also explain Hinata's more comfortable atmosphere around Nart. Maybe then it wouldnt seem all too out of the blue
I also wished they talked about Naruto's crush with Sakura and how he moved on. I think I kinda get what she meant by "You only liked me because of your rivalry with Sasuke right?" The way I see it, Naruto always vied for attention as a kid, he has this sort of hero complex, always on top, always the one to get the prettiest girl. To which the prettiest girl in class was Sak. Which explains the whole rivalry thing.
I actually have some thoughts about his feelings for Sak and how it was completely different with his love for Hinata but its kinda long so hehe, if youre interested, my asks are open ;D
Then the whole Hyuga/Otsutsuki drama starts. Hanabi gets kidnapped blabla Shikamaru team blabla AND NOW THE GENJUTSU WAHH
OKAY IMAGINE THIS. HINATA'S CONFESSION SCENE RIGHT? BUT WHAT IF THEY DID THIS WHOLE TRANSITION THING WITH MINAKUSHI'S SACRIFICE. THEYD DO KUSHINA/HINATA PARALLELS
Theyd replay the scene where Kushina jumps in front of Naruto just when he was about to be killed by Kurama and match it with Hinata jumping in front of Pain. Then Kushina's words "Find someone just like me" would be repeated over and over again
Hinata's I love you and put it side by side with Kushina's I love you
The red scarf with Kushina's scarf.
Their infinite love for Nart. AaAAAAAAAA THE POSSIBILITIES!!!!!!!
THAT WOULDVE BEEN SO CUTE AND COOL.
And by the end of the genjutsu scene, Kushina would hug him for the last time and ask him with loving eyes,
"Have you found her yet? Becuase I think you might already have."
AND SCENE
WAHHHHHH T^T
Aand then everything after that stays the same ig. Except for that cage scene. I freaking hated that.
BuT BESIDES THAT. THEY HAD ALLLLLL THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AROUND A LITTLE AND USE THE BLANK TWO YEARS BUT NOOOOO LEAVE IT TO THE FANS IMAGINATION. AGAIN!!!$*@($&
dont get me wrong i LOVE the movie but I have all the right to critique it and give it my two cents while also being a very big slut for Narhina :DDDD

Whenever a character in naruto dies (or I feel like it) I simply pretend they have retired
Yamato, itachi, kakashi, and gai have a nice little farm/orchard,
but gai and kakashi are basically always going on their "2nd" honeymoon
so itachi ends up making kisame move in too so he can help out.
Guren and yukimaru are also there, running a flower stand to get a lil extra income.
Kimimaro visits and buys all of their flowers very often.
He runs a very lucrative "ivory" business bc no one knows it's him ivory. He just grows bone flowers and people pay a lot of money for it for some reason
He also sells tools and local craftsmen love him bc they're very high quality
He doesn't kill people anymore
He did reunite with orochimaru for a minute and was praised it was very heartwarming
Jiraiya runs a hot springs just a town over but comes to pick kakashis brain every so often
Asuma is the only one who can fix the damned tractor so he and kurenai come once a month or so
It's very educational for their kids
Yamato holds a haunted house every year for Halloween
It's very popular
Kakashi isn't allowed to help anymore bc he tased someone with his chidori and they got sued
Now he's a paying customer and yamatos worst nightmare
He just. Walks through. "Oh. So scary. A mummy" he says
Just you wait kakashi, just you wait. Yamato knows your weakness
Icha icha spoilers
Thank you Naruto
Anyways
Neji is not there bc he doesn't like farms much but he does come with Hinata and naruto as a chaperone on occasion
Itachi helps distract him so Hinata can sneak a kiss but there's only so much he can do
Sasuke comes and trains with itachi a lot but yamato had to say only like twice a week bc sasuke kept wrecking the orchard
Yes he can grow trees but he's just one dude give him a break
So now they have a nice bare mountain top to spar on
Shikaku and inoichi run a lil dojo with hanzo and mifune. Well, it's actually three rival dojos but there are only like three students and also only one good spot to spar bc sasuke breaks stuff
Well sasuke and naruto. And sakura. Also once tsunade visited jiraiyas hot springs and yeah
Minato and Kushina are just being great grandparents somewhere bc even though they got brought back by the edo tensei they just wanna be a part of a big family of dumbasses
It is occasionally weird though once naruto starts looking older than they are. Or that one time minato tried to make a new Jutsu and blew himself up
That was fun. Boruto didn't stop crying for hours
Obito runs an actual retirement center lmao old people love him
He just shows up at the farm and challenges kakashi to a duel sometimes
He, kakashi, and gai always cause a big ruckus bc he and gai get way too into whatever challenge it is
Also all the grannies from the retirement home send cookies and it makes gai cry
They are all friends
Did I mention itachi has a pet chicken
And all the farm cats love him he is a crazy cat lady at heart
Yes he gave sasuke a kitten bc sasuke needs a lot of unconditional love and sometimes naruto does actually have to do his job so
Sasuke and his cat play tag no I don't take criticism
The ninten love the farm it's very big and sometimes they get to pop out of nowhere and give people heart attacks
Pakkun has decided he is not a farm dog and likes to stay near the house when he's there
Bulldog though, loves it
He might live there 24/7 no one's sure
Fuu and naruto make all the jinchuriki get together every so often it's very awkward but nice
Fuu, naruto, and gaara get along best though- they are good friends
Shikamaru likes to come and pick apples with choji when they can
Obviously lee visits gai sensei all the time
Tenten too
Jugo and suigetsu run a little fish nursery and kisame helps them out when the farm gets too crowded
Nagato, yahiko, and konan mostly just travel but they do drop in on jiraiya when they're in the area
Jiraiya makes them pose for Christmas cards in froggy footie pajamas every year
It's great
Who am I forgetting
Oh yes
Danzo is in hell
