Missing you
——————————————————————————
Crows continuously flew overhead, announcing the deaths of various slayers.
Tanjiro fought until the very end, then a crow announced something he never expected.
“Muichiro Tokito, Milo Suzuki, Genya Shinazugawa, and Maki Kizukai have been killed by upper moon 1.” A crow announced as it soared above the battle.
Tanjiro froze in place at the news. “No…” He whispered, tears filling his eyes.
He growled angrily, grief overtaking his body. “NOOO!!!!” Tanjjro yelled, instantly killing the demon before him, Muzan. (inaccurate but idc lol)
——————————————————————————
Tanjiro and Kanao walked up to Milo’s, Muichiro’s, Maki’s, and Genya’s graves, honoring each of them.
Kanao looked over, noticing Tanjiro’s solemn expression.
“Just whenever she finally started to get comfortable with her emotions…” Tanjiro muttered, his eyes filling with tears.
Kanao nodded, hugging her husband.
“It’s ok, love. I know you miss her, I do too. But hey, at least she’s safe now, with Muichiro.”
Tanjiro smiles softly. “She always referred to him as her surrogate brother.”
He finally works up the courage to put down the flower crown of cherry blossoms that his and Kanao’s children had created in honor of Milo.
The couple walked home, more at peace than when they arrived.
Milo’s spirit walked out from behind a tree, smiling sadly, her blue eyes sparkling with tears.
She watched as Tanjiro and Kanao walked off in the direction of their home.
“Bye Tanji..” She whispered.
“I’ll continue missing you for all eternity..”
~the end~

no rush for this ofc ml,
fic request of Milo being sick and Tanjiro taking care of her and he’s getting all flustered cause she doesn’t have a filter when she’s sick and then when she’s better she’s all embarrassed about the stuff she said (even tho she was just talking about how much she loves everyone, especially Tanjiro, lol)
~No Filter~
A/N: I AM SO SORRY IF THIS ABSOLUTELY SUCKS, THE PLOT WAS HARD- AND IM SO SORRY THAT ITS SHORT ;-;
TWs ⚠️: none bc TanjMilo are wholesome beans. (Tanjiro is a MAJOR simp)
Tumblr media
Tanjiro thought taking care of Milo would be no big deal. And it was.
He was more than willing to take care of his angel as is, and even more so when she was sick. He felt special and honored that he got to be the one to take care of her, to comfort her when she really wasn’t feeling good.
But not at all was he expecting all the things she said.
The poor boy was constantly pink from how often she would sweetly utter words like “You’re so sweet to me” or “I love you so much”.
Things she would normally be way to shy to say.
Milo was constantly acting all cuddly and clingy, and Tanjiro didn’t mind it at all.
He loved all the cuddles and kisses she requested from him.
He wouldn’t care if he were to get sick too, he would give her anything she asked when she asked it so sweetly.
She unknowingly had him wrapped around her finger.
When she would ask for water, or some food, he would do it in a heartbeat to make her happy and hear her little “thank you, I love you”s.
Now, Tanjiro is not going to hope for Milo to fall sick more often, but he certainly wouldn’t mind if she did.
Tumblr media
Milo squealed and hid her face as it lit up with red.
“I-I said that-?!”
Tanjiro chuckled as he rubbed the back of a very flustered Milo.
“Yes, but I didn’t mind at all!”
Milo leaned forward to rest her covered face on his shoulder.
“‘m sorry…”
“No don’t apologize! It was cute!”
“Tanji—!”
Tumblr media
A/N: bet you thought I forgot the aftermath 😌

I can’t get single dad giyuu out of my mind 😭
Was Sitting in virtual Spanish class and off to the side I’m jotting down notes for my little au about an accidental sleepover at the water estate.
It’s kinda long so it’s under here;
So, it’s late at night and Tanjiro has just finished a mission. He’s tired and on the way back to a Wisteria house he saw a while back. Their trip is interrupted by a gentle flap of wings, and insistent pecking at his forehead.
Giyuu’s old but beloved crow Kanzaburo finds Tanjiro instead of the Water Pillar. Tanjiro, ever the sweetheart, decided to bring him back to Giyuu. Especially since the crow has a letter attached to his leg. (Since it’s late the sun isn’t out and Nezuko is free to walk beside Tanjiro and pet Kanzaburo as they walk to Giyuu’s estate.)
When they get there Giyuu is quite surprised he has visitors this late (he’s been injured so he’s resting for the next couple days.) but let’s them inside regardless. Giyuu doesn’t even ask why they’re there, he sees Nezuko clinging to Kanzaburo (Kanzaburo loves the attention) and the unopened letter and tried to explain but Tanjiro interrupts him. He needs to write to Zenitsu and Inosuke who he promised he’d update when he returned from his mission.
Surprise! Muichiro was already at the Water Estate, he had wanted to check up on Giyuu in the afternoon and brought Senjuro with him.
Giyuu boils some tea while Tanjiro write and sends his letters and not even an hour later there’s more knocking at his door.
He barely gets the door open before Inosuke lets himself in, Zenitsu grimacing but at least asks to come inside
“You don’t need to ask, you know..”
Zenitsu makes a beeline towards the Kamados, fretting over them.
“Neither do you Kanao.”
The girl blushes and bows, stowing her coin back in her pocket. Tanjiro had been helping her open up, but Giyuu knew that even then it still took time and a lot of personal effort.
Zenitsu hurried with his mission so he could make it to the Water Estate to see Tanjiro & Nezuko. Inosuke had been on a joint mission with Kanao when Matsuemon (Tanji’s crow) delivered the news so they both went to the Estate.
The three of them met along the same road about halfway there and went the rest of the way together
Roughly an hour later Genya shows up at his doorstep. Matsuemon had gone the extra mile and informed Genya about Tanjiro too. Although Genya hadn’t demanded to be updated (like Zenitsu did) both Tanjiro and his crow knew how much Genya cares but cant admit it 👉👈
Anyway all his kids under his roof & Giyuu can’t be happier. You can see how happy he is because of his blank face
Lmao I’m kidding
He does look more relaxed & he smells happier than usual
Anyway Tanjiro remembers the reason he’s even there, to give Giyuu Kanzaburo’s letter. Poor crow must've gotten lost.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silly goofy exchange:
“With everyone showing up I had forgotten why we originally came.” Tanjiro laughs, a little embarrassed.
Giyuu pours himself a cup of tea while reassuring the boy. “You don’t have to apologize.”
“But I completely forgot about your crow’s letter.”
Huh?
He hands the rolled up paper to Giyuu. “Your crow found us and I wasn’t sure who the letter was to or from, so I thought I’d bring him back to you.” Tanjiro, ever the kind hearted child, beams at him.
Giyuu wants to cry. Wants to shrivel up in a corner by himself.
“Tanjiro..”
The one time Kanzaburo delivers a letter..
“Hm?” Tanjiro hums questioningly.
..to the right person..
“It’s, uh..the letter was for you.” Giyuu hides his face behind his cup, a little embarrassed at the turn of events.
..it winds up back in his hands anyway.
“Ah! I’m sorry Giyuu.”
Giyuu’s hand hover offer Tanjiro’s head. “It’s okay..” he ruffles the boys fluffy hair, getting a smile out of him. “I’m..it’s nice to see you all again.”

“*insert bite lip emoji*” I am DEAD! xD
I love your fics sooo much!
I do have an idea though:
Imagine walking in on Tanjiro masturbating and he’s all embarrassed and flustered because he didn’t expect you to hear him cry out your name as he was fisting his dick!
Just:
“Y-y/n!”
“Did you call-whoa!”
👌😳
Or if you’d prefer to turn the tables, Tanjiro walking in on Y/n… 😏
walking in on tanjiro masturbating
pairing ; tanjiro x reader
warnings / contents ; female!reader, caught masturbating (m), oral (f and m receiving), face sitting, praise
notes ; THIS IS SO HOT YEEAASS awkward? absolutely. but hot? yes. fuck yes. might do one where tanjiro walks in on reader separately !!
getting released from work early is the best feeling.
unexpected, and uncommon, but being told by your boss that you can pack up and leave for the day is amazing. getting to go home and having that extra time to relax and enjoy the rest of your day with your one and only tanji..
“tanjiro~!” you sing-song as you set your keys on the table, noticing the lack of him cleaning the house or relaxing in the living room as he normally would be when you arrived home. strange. his car was in the driveway, he has to be here somewhere..
“[n-name]!”
a shaky, uneven cry sounds from the bedroom, and quickly you’re padding down the hallway and opening the door in a concerned rush. “jiro? are you—“
tanjiro immediately freezes, as do you, both of your eyes blown wide. tanjiro’s settled on your bed, blankets bunched below his hips, fist wrapped around his cock. his hair is tousled, eyes glossed over and cheeks a pretty shade of red which is quickly darkening and spreading to his ears and neck.
and so here you are now, settled between his legs and sucking him off with vigor. poor sweet boy must’ve been so pent up considering he couldn’t even wait till you got home n’ had to fuck his own hand — you can tell by the way he’s trembling, fingers holding your hair from your face and gently gripping. although he’s overwhelmed with pleasure, he tries his absolute hardest not to hurt you. sounds of ecstasy fall from his parted lips, head falling back against the pillows and adams apple bobbing as he swallows thickly.
“oh, shit.. you’re doing s—so good— fuck, [name], im close—!”
he’s then roughly bucking his hips, pushing his fat cock further down your throat as he cums, shooting his load into your awaiting mouth. your eyes water and squeeze shut, struggling to take all of him, but you manage. he deserves it for being such a good boy, after all. <3
he insists he return the favor, beckoning you to crawl over him. you oblige with curiosity, and he smiles sweetly at you, strong calloused hands gripping your hips and bringing them higher, higher, until you’re hovering over his face. “tanjiro!” you exclaim, face exploding with a blush, “you don’t need to do that—“
but he won’t have any of it. he pulls you down to his face with ease, tongue making quick work to lap up the arousal nearly dripping from between your puffy folds, almost purring at just how good you taste. you give in, hips rolling with his movements, hips jerking as his nose bumps repeatedly against your clit with each swipe of his tongue, but his hands easily hold you in place. your hands grip his hair, and it isn’t long before he’s painfully hard again from the little tugs at his dark locks and the sweet sounds that spill from your swollen lips. your eyes meet his wine red hues, and his eyes flutter and roll back just from watching you fall apart above him and cry out his name as you cum on his tongue. he can hardly breathe, holding you still as he licks up your nectar, and you don’t get a chance to recover before your world spins and suddenly you’re on your back with tanjiro looming above you.
he’s a mess — a beautiful mess, chest heaving and eyes lidded as he gazes at you in a beautiful hybrid of lust and pure adoration. “i need you,” he admits, his tan face flushed a dark crimson red. “please?”
you snake your arms around his neck, and he nearly melts into a puddle at your next words.
“i’m all yours.”

For Me
Fem!ReaderxYandere!Tanjiro, Fem!ReaderxYandere!Zenitsu, Fem!ReaderxYandere!Inosuke (all in different parts)
TW:kidnapping, implied stalking, poisoning, obssessive behavior, I believe that's it!
If anything stated above makes you uncomfortable, please do not read/ interact!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
Yandere!Tanjiro:
You're so tired. You can hardly keep your eye open, much less speak properly. Words slurring together you're not even sure you're speaking English at this point. "Are you sure you're alright, y/n?" A soft voice brings you back from your scrambled thoughts. Oh no, you've ruined the night out.
You were supposed to go over the breathing techniques, not be half-asleep. "'m sorry, Tanji. I guess 'm just tired." You can only mumble at this point, your eyes half-closed, and you fail to see his slight smirk. "Why don't we just meet up another day? You seem to be very tired."
You only nod as he gently grabs your hand and leads you out of the small building. You only follow as he holds you close to him and starts walking. You only trust in him as he leads you down the dimly lit streets of the town. You can only trust.
However, you still fail to see the growing smirk Tanjiro has. He's been working hard, stealing vials from Miss. Shinobu, practicing on poor Inosuke. It's not his fault he eats a lot though! Besides, Zenitsu trusts Tanjiro, if he says it's probably a food coma, then it's a food coma.
You stumble but strong arms wrap around you quickly before you can fall. "Careful!" Worry laces his voice as he picks you up, "I'll just carry you the rest of the way." You try to get down, not wanting to be more of a burden than you already are, "T-Tanji....'m fine, I can walk." The redhead only shakes his head in response, "Nonsense. Don't worry, we're not too far anymore."
He's so warm. So comfortable. You give in without much of a fight after that. He smiles to himself as you snuggle into him, and he keeps walking. To his house.
He holds you tightly against him as he walks into the quiet house, kicking off his shoes that he'll put away properly later. He walks to the back of the house and slides a bookself over, holding you up with one strong arm. You take in the unfamiliar surroundings and frown to yourself, but you're out before you can even speak a single word.
It worked.
Tanjiro makes quick work of everything. From walking down the stairs to chaining you up on the bed in the make-shift room he's built underneath his house. Everything quick but precise.
I have you.
I have you.
I have you.
You wake up in your bed, in your room. Stairs? There aren't any stairs in your room, though. Perhaps you're sitll dreaming? No, you're very much awake, groggy, but awake. You try to get up but something heavy stops you. A weight, chained to your ankle, makes your heart beat wildly in your chest.
You can hardly lift your foot, the weight of it crushing your ankle enough to leave a bruise. You look around frantically, but everything looks the same as your room, except for the stairs of course. "Do you like it?"
Your head whips around at the sound of Tanjiro's voice. Smiling at you, he takes a few steps to your bed and sits down, "I made it just like your own room. Since you spend so much time in there." How? How would he know that?
"It was difficult at first of course, trying not to get caught by you or anyone else, but I managed!" He smiles proudly at you, but you're frozen in fear. He's been watching you. How long? Why?
Questions are racing through your mind but not a single one comes out. Tanjiro chuckles quietly, amused by your expression, "Don't worry honey, I was never in the house for too long. Just to see what I was missing." He's been in your house?
Warm calloused hands cup your face and wipe the tears you didn't even know were falling, "Aw honey, don't cry. I'll take care of you. I got you." He coos softly as he presses his lips to yours, soft, warm. Like his hands. "I have you now."
"All for me."

Comfort omega
<---Previous
Part V
At first he can't help but smile from ear to ear as soon as he hears Nezuko's laughter; she's spending time with the love hashira, allowing the female alpha to braid all her hair.
The little girl looks so cute. Tanjirou gets closer to them, feeling his heart warm.
"Tanji! Look! My braids!" The little pup immediately makes grabby hands at him and the omega can't help but melt at the sight before picking her up and giving her a kiss on her forehead.
"You're so cute, both of you!" Kanroji sighs dreamily, getting closer to Tanjirou almost like she can't stop herself. Then the omega notices that most of her pink hair is down besides the poor attempt at a braid she's currently wearing.
"Nezuko... You did that?"
"All by myself!" The pup chuckles.
"That's great!" He praises her, nuzzling her cheek before turning to look at the alpha and mumbling: "I'm sorry... Do you want me to comb and braid your hair for you?"
A very pleased blush spreads all over Kanroji's face quickly; she looks delighted.
"Yes, but leave Nezuko's braid! I want to keep it for the rest of the day." She assures him sincerely and for a moment, Tanjirou feels his eyes getting wet with happy tears. He's just so glad to see someone appreciating his little sister.
Nezuko watches with fascination as the omega combs and braids Kanroji's hair; the alpha seems to be having a good time. She's so happy that when he's done, she turns around to give him a kiss on his cheek even though Tanjirou knows she shouldn't.
"Thanks for taking care of Nezuko," he mumbles with a sincere smile; that pup is only his responsibility, but he's always grateful when someone else spends time with her.
"You don't have to thank me," she assures him, taking his hand to stop him from leaving. There's something in her eyes that worries Tanjirou for a moment. "It's my pleasure... Besides, you know I love her like she's my own, right?"
"Oh," Tanjirou doesn't know what to say because he feels the panic spreading quickly all over his body. This shouldn't be happening. He looks down at Nezuko only to realize that maybe she's getting a little bit attached as well. "I need to go."
He takes the pup in his arms and walks away quickly; this is not good, he doesn't want them to kick Tanjirou and Nezuko out because he couldn't keep it professional.
Besides, it'll break Nezuko's heart, those alphas don't... They shouldn't...
This is the safest place; Nezuko needs to stay there...
He sits under a tree before pulling her closer against his chest; the girl chuckles happily.
"Listen, Nezuko... Uhh... The Pillars are our friends."
"Friends, yes! I like them!"
"I know, I know... But they're not family, alright? It's just you and me now," Tanjirou smiles, trying not to feel bad when he sees her pouting.
"I want a big family," she mumbles sadly. "Like before."
"I know," he nods, trying not to cry. He can't give her that, not right now, not with the job he has. He can't look for a mate. "Maybe... Maybe someday."
Nezuko nods because she's a good girl, she always has been; she smiles before nuzzling against Tanjirou's chest and the omega hugs her tightly until she falls asleep.
That's when Iguro jumps right in front of him; he's really good at it because he doesn't make any sound.
"Are you alright, Tanjirou?" The alpha asks, looking worried. "You smell distressed."
"I'm fine, I'll be fine," he assures him, feeling a little bit better when the alpha puts a hand on his cheek. "Do you need anything?"
"No..." Iguro assures him, almost shyly. "I just want you to be alright."
"Thank you, you're very kind. But I'll be fine. I just... I'll take Nezuko to her room."
The serpent hashira nods so Tanjirou rushes away from there, trying not to worry too much.
***
The best thing to do is to stop tending to the Pillars, there's clearly something that's not right; he knows they've been crossing lines they shouldn't and that's probably his own fault.
Maybe his scent is confusing them; is it too strong for them? Is making them believe or feel things they actually don't?
Tanjirou thinks he's good at keeping his scent light, but perhaps he wasn't paying attention enough because the truth is that he genuinely enjoys spending time with all the hashira.
But he shouldn't.
He gets startled when he feels two hands in his and notices Inosuke and Zenitsu at each side of him.
"Zenitsu... Didn't Aoi tell you again you shouldn't do this?"
"Again? So this has happened a couple of times?"
Both Inosuke and Zenitsu let go of Tanjirou as soon as they recognize Kocho's voice, she's smiling but has a vein very visible on her forehead. She doesn't smell happy... Actually, now that Tanjirou is paying attention, she smells jealous.
This shouldn't be happening.
"You know he's our omega. For the hashira only."
Before Zenitsu starts crying and trembling and Inosuke does something crazy like challenge Kocho... Tanjirou gets closer to the insect hashira so she looks at him instead.
"Actually... I wanted to talk to the Pillars about that, Kocho-san. Do you know when they'll be here?"
"They're here," the alpha mumbles, staring into Tanjirou's eyes and seeing something alarming in them judging by the way her expression twists suddenly. "Tanjirou, darling... Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," he nods, clearly lying and feeling absolutely terrible about it. "Can you call them?"
"I... Of course, anything you want."
***
It's a little bit intimidating, to see them all in front of him; it's obvious they're worried about what he's about to say even though their expressions look perfectly composed. Tanjirou can tell by their scents.
"Shinobu told us about your friends," Tomioka says before Tanjirou can gather the courage to open his mouth. The alpha looks almost desperate. "We agreed that it's alright if you want to help them too..."
"You're really kind," the omega mumbles, feeling his cheeks turning slightly pink. "But this is not about that. I... actually, I think it'd be better if I stop being your comfort omega."
Kanroji sobs and Tanjirou starts feeling terrible as all nine scents filled with sorrow hit him at once.
"Why? Did... Did we do something wrong?" Tokito asks, making Tanjirou take a step back.
"You are... We're getting attached."
"Is that so bad?" Uzui says sincerely, his voice is uncharacteristically soft, like he's afraid one of his words will end up scaring Tanjirou off. "Because we don't care."
"We love you, my boy!" Rengoku confesses, his alpha scent turning sweet and then bitter with sadness at the same time.
Tanjirou's scent is confusing them; that must be it, there's no way nine powerful and amazing alphas like them are in love with a simple omega like him.
"I... I'm sorry," perhaps he should explain, but if they're still under the effects of his scent they'd never believe him. "I-I think it's for the best."
His inner omega is suffering, almost in pain. Part of him doesn't want to be away from them.
"We will respect your decision," Himejima says before Shinazugawa can even open his mouth. The wind hashira looks angry, but hurt.
"Thank you," he whispers before running away.

anonymous asked: Mother: Muse suspects everyone has insulted their mother for 4 hours (for tanji) anonymous asked: Basket for 3 days to Tanjiro! (mom friend mode activate)
Mother: Muse suspects everyone has insulted their mother for 12 hours
Basket: Muse finds a baby in a basket and has to take care of it for 48 hours
Tumblr media
Doesn't it feel rather odd that, at the back of your mind, everyone around him has spoken badly of his mother behind his back? While he couldn't shake off that thought, he couldn't just jump into such a conclusion. At least not for now until he has enough proof.
That being said, he heard a kid crying? No, it wasn't just a kid. Peeking at the basket where the cry came, he wasn't expecting to see...
Tumblr media
"A baby?" Confusion struck him as he couldn't track any scent of anyone else aside from this poor baby. Who would even leave this one on its own? Did the parents abandon this little child or...
"I'll bring you to somewhere safe." Instinct struck him to not only ensure the baby's safety, but also protect it from anything and anyone who'd dare to lay a hand on it with ill intent.

It was one of those nights. the triplets were fussy, their horns growing in later than Ariadne's did, and causing them pains.
Thankfully, Leon understood, but wanted to remain near his sons.
"They calm?"
Lexian nodded, Tanji, the eldest prince, sucked on his father's breast as his younger brother Taiki whined, Tenko biting on his ear.
"They have your eyes, your majgesty." King leon teased, as he saw their big amethyst eyes tear up.
"Ariadne is asleep, but she was just as fussy if not worst as a baby." Lexian signed as he chuffed.
Woof
Lmao Ariadne, being worse than a combined three babies
Poor Lexian, that has to be stressful. Leon better be taking care of his husband!! Else I’m gonna swoop him away! Don’t you worry, Lexian, I’ll help with the babies and massage your poor feet so you can rest easy
I’ll fight Leon about it. I won’t win, but I’ll fight

Fragments of the Past
Chapter: One
~The Raid~
It happened so fast..
Almost in an instant….
We couldn’t even run away fast enough…
Kohaku stared out into the horizon, it was a normal day on Hoshi island, which has been known to be peaceful, he couldn’t explain it but something felt seriously off, the air smelled weird…it wasn’t the normal sea salted air, it was something carried by what seemed to be the wind current. He was gathering fish caught in the nets at the docks with his friends: Tanji, a brash young boy with tanned skin, freckles dotted all over his cheeks and shoulders..black hair with the tips tinted green, Sasuke, a boy with pale skin and blond hair, he seems to be rather silent and yet hot headed…Kanashi, the eldest one of the group, blackish purple hair and purple eyes…and Mina, pretty icy blue hair tied in a ponytail..they accompanied Kohaku on the docks but unlike the boy…they couldn’t sense anything off like Kohaku could. Mina frowned as she walked over to Kohaku placing a hand on his shoulder
Kohaku looks towards her welcoming her company, smiling softly as he took her hand and looked back at the company, he couldn’t explain how but it was as if a sound of a clock was ticking in his head, something was coming…he can feel it in his gut, the smell was getting worse, it was the smell of fire and…something foul. He continued looking towards the sunset, the scene was beautiful…everything seemed normal..the water was calm, the fish were swimming…the birds were chirping and….wait
He looked up and squinted as he widened his eyes, birds were flying off, something was wrong, ge looked at the water, he could hear something
“Kohaku…? What’s wrong?….”
Kohaku didn’t answer Mina, her voice full of concern, it was like all he can hear were the sounds of something ticking,..
“Oh he’s probably zoned out again!…”
Tanji huffed as he loaded the freshly caught fish into a huge basket, fixing the straps to carry it with the others
“Something is amiss…im guessing he feels it too..”
Kanashi says with worry, now starting to pick up on the weird red flags. It was then he widened his eyes as he saw Kohaku’s face contort with horror, did he see something? Kohaku does seem to have a habit of getting so called ‘Intuitions’ from their holy god, who was said to grant Cosmic Intuition to their leader and successors…perhaps Kohaku feels something
“Everyone! Get back to the village! Now!”
“Ayo? Kohu the fuck man! What gives!”
“Shut up tenji! Everyone! Let’s go! Leave the fish!”
The ticking got louder in his mind as they ran down a dirt path, heading through a field of flowers, Kohaku leading their friends as he looks up at the sky behind them, something was coming, something horrible. He pushed his friends forward as he could see what he saw earlier come into view, figures flying in the sky, giant wings flapping through the sky. This was no cosmic intuition, this was an invasion! First there were a few…then some more…it kept multiplying into thousands…and they were approaching fast
As they reached the village Kohaku raised his hand to the scouts as they opened the gate to let he and his friends in, signaling them to ring a bell!
“W-what the hell is that!?”
The poor scout said as they rang the bell signaling danger to the village, it was pure chaos, the first bloodshed started when the scout was suddenly impaled by a large spear! They didn’t even manage to warn the village entirely…as they fell off the tower where the bell guarded the gate
Kohaku watched in horror as he saw the guard fell, another spear landed next to him before he could approach the body! He turned around as everything felt like it was happening in slow motion, he watched people starting to make a run for it as more weapons and even bolts of magic fell from from the attackers in the sky. He was frozen with shock and horror as he was suddenly grabbed by Kanashi by the hand
“MOVE IT KOHAKU!!”
He snapped out of his daze as he held onto his friends hand, looking back as he only wished he could have closed the eyes of that poor soldiers lifeless form, however that was now going to be the least of his worries as the gang moved through the chaos of the village. The sounds were nothing but screams and destruction, however looking back was a mistake as he could see people landing in the ground from the sky, the dust from the rubble and the constant chaos made it horribly difficult for his kid brain to properly register who these people were…but they weren’t winged people that’s for sure. He looked forward as he ran with his friends. Past the chaos, they had but one destination..
To find their master
Least that was where Kohaku was heading as he was heading to a house just on the other side of the village, in front of a mountain. The more than ran the more intense the chaos became, it was so loud for his human ears as he could hear the invaders screaming commands
“KILL THE DEFENDERS!! SPARE NO ONE….and take the children!!”
The good news was…they weren’t killing the children?…the bad news was they were killing those considered as adults. He looked forward towards his friend Kanashi, he was the oldest of his friends and but he was a teenager…and the wisest of the group.
He lead Kohaku and the others behind a still intact building, trying to avoid the attackers line of sight
There was no time for talk…
Only hide…and run
Once they saw the attacking enemies run by they then made a run towards their destination, repeating the same process to stay hiding. Thankfully the sounds of the chaos was masking the sounds of their footsteps but it also made it hard to hear them come from behind. So kohaku, Tanji, and Mina were relying on Kanashi’s more developed and in tune sense of sight and hearing as he’s the most skillfully aware. Kanashi has been nice enough to give Kohaku lessons on how to sharpen his hearing and eyesight, he’s not as good as him but he tries
And now was the time to put those training sessions with him to use, staying in the rear to prevent flanking
It was hard, his ears hurt from all the noise…his heart was aching and pounding, seeing what he considered his home for his whole life being burnt and destroyed to the ground. There was no more smell of sweet bread from the pastry, the sake brewer was dead beneath the rubble of his own home, that hurt the most so far, as he and his sensei often visited him for sake….
Once the sensei’s home came into view they wasted no time rushing inside, the old man: Szarlon Henzo, was the master and leader of Hoshi island
“Inside…quickly…!”
Once the kids rushed inside he shut the door as quick as he could, and he started tinkering with the antiques on his shelf on the wall, he seemed to be digging and he grabbed what seemed to be a red orb and a silver moon shaped hair clip, and he gave them to..Kohaku
“Take this and do not ask questions…go to the back of the house!…and whatever you do…all of you…don’t stop running…there’s a cave behind this house..”
“The cave of Ouroboros?..but we aren’t supposed to go in there until we reach adul-“
Kohaku was cut off by the sudden intense grab from Szarlons strong hands, the look of stern but fear and worry in his masters red eyes, tears slipping from his eyes and down his cheeks..reaching to his long white beard
“KOHAKU!!! Now is NOT the time for concern over age!! Inside that cave is YOUR MEANS OF ESCAPE!!….Get off this island and flee my boy!!….and guard these relics with your LIFE!!! These relics must NOT reach the hands of the enemy!!…”
Kohaku stared at his father figure, eyes wide as he couldn’t think of a way to argue back, the nine year old took the items handed to him. The moon shaped hair pin was beautiful, so silver and so full of magic power…he clipped it to his white hair and then turned his attention to the red orb, just like the hair clip…intense magic was inside it but it was so small…it fit into his hand perfectly. Szarlon took it and attached it to a hair tie and braided it into the boys hair
“My child listen to me…you and your friend have to make it out of here…you children…you children are our only hope…our only legacy…in the name of Ouroboros…you all MUST survive…by whatever means necessary..don’t worry about me…about us grown ups….we will buy you all time to escape….but Kohaku listen close….these relics must not ever be held by someone else…you will learn why in due time, His Lordship sees great strength and has chosen you and blessed you with magic that this island has not seen in years….tho this island will fall…you children will live on..Protect the azure flame!!-“
Kohaku teared up as he shook his head, what did he mean!? Chosen for what!? He was so confused but he didn’t like how his father was talking, like this was the end so he cut him off
“Gramps…what…what are you saying slow down…chosen…for what!?…azure flame…what-…no-…if we are getting off the island you have to come with us!”
“Exactly Master we cannot leave you behind! We swore an oath!”
“Children! As your master! You have to respect my orders! And do as I say!….as master of this island…and the last of the active old Sage of Ouroboros! I will stay and fight along side my comrades! So the youth! You children! Can escape to a future!! And live!”
As he continued the windows started to shatter as the door started to burst into flames, the walls set ablaze as Kohaku and his friends watched as Szarlon formed a katana in his hand, mystical looking fire formed around the old man as the mighty hot flames hotter than normal engulfed the sword. Kohaku held his hand out to the very man who raised him as Kanashi grabbed Kohaku, picking him up and draping him over the shoulder as he and the others rushed to the back exit, as the old man clashed with the attacker….he watched the blood splatter before him as the two fought to the very death….the droplets of blood splattering and reached the bridge of his nose as they made their exit and ran towards the cave…
Szarlon watched as the kids ran, blood dripping from his sound from the attacker, this was no mere soldier like the rest of the attackers, just like the old man it was a leader or a high rank
“Well Szarlon..how does it feel…to witness the downfall of your precious home…now tell me…Where is the Vessel of Ouroboros…”
This angered the old man, gripping his sword as he aimed it at the stranger that commanded the attack of his village, his home, his people..
“If you think I’m going to betray our guardian deity and my people! I will not do such a thing! The vessel of our god died eons ago! Your search is in vai-“
His words was cut off as he received a blow of a burst of bright golden magic to the chest, coughing out blood he glared even more as he fell to his knees
“You don’t need to lie old man…I know your musty old legend…a new vessel was born….that’s why…if you refuse to talk…i take every child of this village…and I’ll find out who it is…my way…do you want to make the youth suffer?…”
The stranger was so calm but so demanding, but Szarlon didn’t care…he loves his people..and his god…however he will not betray Kohaku…he will die with this secret if he has to…he only hopes Kohaku will forgive him…those were the last thoughts going through the old man as he was overcame by a golden glow
“Then it is time…the Island of Hoshi..Shall fall…Succumb to Judgement”
———————————————————————————
By the time Kohaku and his friends reached the cave, Kanashi had set the boy in the ground, it was a quiet and sorrowful run until they feel a bright glow behind them, they turned around and to Kohaku’s horror, a bright beam of golden light rained down upon the masters home…and spreads upon the forest path they just tracked and engulfed everything even the village, it hit and destroyed everything like a massive explosion, Kohaku screamed for his master, his father, his people but Mina hugged Kohaku taking his hand and rushed into the cave for cover. The blast of such powerful magic sent loose a shockwave that was so powerful it pushed them into the cave.
Once the group regained their baring, they had no choice but to go deep into the cave, Kohaku lid the way with a small ember of pink fire, bright like a star and warm to keep them from the cold temperatures of the cave.
They don’t know how long they have been walking, it felt like an eternity…an endless walk of trying to find the exit of the dark cave
“This is fucking bullshit…this cave is so long there has to be an exit…”
Tanji groaned as he held his arms together trying to keep himself from going crazy, the green eyed kid looked at his silent friends, Mina trying to keep herself from crying, she was hugging Kohaku’s arm while he stayed closed to her
It was so quiet….too quiet
There was only the sound of footsteps…
“You think…we can really make it off the island?”
The group stopped to look at Tanji, Mina and Kohaku gazed at each other then looked at Kanashi who seemed unsure, being the oldest of the bunch he was more focused on accomplishing that but before he could speak he wished they hadn’t stopped walking
“Oh I don’t know..~ but that would have been nice to find out~ wouldn’t it kids~?”
The group turned around to be face to face with a masked man, blue hair and draped in fancy attire accessories. To be what looked like a fancy scientist
The groups indeed tried to run the only direction they could and that was forward, they ran but they were also so incredibly drained and exhausted..
But it was all in vain as they reached a dead end. Face to face what looks like a statue of a half human, half snake, with large feathered wings. A beautiful silver statue…but it wasn’t helpful to their predicament, as the children seems to have made a wrong turn. Kanashi stepped in front to protect the younger as he took out his katana as he
But their enemy only laughed at their so called final stance
“Come now children don’t make this harder on yourselves….now be good little children and come quietly….we won’t kill you…”
After what appeared to be a long silence, the man sighed as he knew obviously that Kohaku and the others weren’t going to come quietly, so the man took out what appears to be a whip..it buzzed and zapped with electrical energy as he smiled at the sound of the electrical current buzzing in the weapon
Kohaku stepped back as he placed his hand on the statue, not knowing that the eyes of the statue were shining bright, matching the now glowing hair clip in his hair, that’s when it hit him, he shouldn’t be running away…he should be fighting back, the demise of Szarlon was brought on to protect them…him…the villagers and people on the island suffering right now, yet fighting so hard to drive out..who ever these invaders are! It enraged Kohaku, it made his blood boil with anger and grief, he was furious and yet unable to hold it together
“You..you shit heads…think you can come into our our home…kill our loved ones…and expect us..to do as you say!?…”
His eyes started to glow to a color of bright white like blue, his fists engulfed in what would be fire that burned a bright pink..fueled by rage…became a bright azure blue….burning so hot that the heat can be felt from quite a distance
Kohaku charged at the man, despite the desperate attempts of his friends trying to hold him back he managed to lay a punch to the man before being grabbed by the electric whip, the boy screamed as it wrapped around his neck, the painful shocks coursed through him as he lets out a scream of pain, the glow of his eyes brightened as he looked at the man, thinking of all that happened he didn’t want to give up…not now!!…but as he is….being just a child..he couldn’t control himself..he couldn’t control his magic…
And then…everything went dark…
————————————————————————
As the man watched Kohaku writhe in agony, he only dropped him once the boy let out a deafening screech, to what sounded like a screeching roar that could deafen anyone temporarily nearby, he dropped the kid and his whip to cover his ears at the sorrowful yet angry scream of the boy. He started to get angry…kicking the boy in the chest to knock him out and send him back towards the others
Once the other soldiers arrived the man glared
“Get these kids back to the other…but restrain the white haired one!…I wish to get a closer look at that one…!!”
When Kohaku woke up…he woke up to what would be the beginning….of hell
