A scapegoat, I will be

Synopsis: Set during chapter 119. Practically on the run from Guren and the Shinoa Squad, Mikaela confesses to have still not gotten over his guilt.

(Muse A holds Muse B closely to help them wind down after a stressful day/event.)

Pairing: Yuichiro Hyakuya x Mikaela Hyakuya (Mikayuu)

———————-

“It’s my fault that the kids are dead, it’s my fault. We wouldn’t be stuck in this mess if it weren’t for me.”

He meant the resurrection process, of course.

Yuu wouldn’t have had to choose between him and the children from the orphanage they grew up in if it weren’t for him.

It was a blurt that came out of the blue, enough to make the black-haired boy beside him turn his head to give him a glance.

They had just outrun Guren along with the rest of the Shinoa Squad moments ago, and now they were both sitting atop the highest point of the Tokyo Tower.

It was surprisingly peaceful up there; it was the one place where the world weren’t privy to their thoughts. The sun was out and the skies were a beautiful bright blue — so why must on this day, two teenagers be compelled to make such a do-or-die decision?

“No it wasn’t, Mika. We all didn’t know that the plan wouldn’t work.” Yuu responded, a frown now replacing the relieved smile he had after managing to climb all the way up.

The demon placed his hands over his face, as if burying his eyes from the world.

He began to tremble here and there, his eyes watering and his sight becoming glassy. “I regret it...I regret it...I should be blamed for everything that happened, why don’t you blame me?” He whispered in a whimper.

It was barely audible; like Mika was suppressing his own words because he knew that Yuu would’ve worried about him day till night — but deep down, this scenario played in his mind time and time again.

The children.

Sanguinem.

The map.

The gun.

And then blood, so much blood.

The screams of agony and terror had never left his mind; the memories of Akane and the little ones all dashing for the exit.

Then that man appears and muddies his thoughts — that ruthless unforgivable monster — killed them.

And it was all his fault, because he was the one who made the plan to escape that night.

Finding a scapegoat was beyond them, and it should be, because there was no one else to blame aside from him. He should be blamed for their deaths, and him only.

Mika was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt himself leaning towards the left; where Yuu had been sitting. His head was rested on Yuu’s shoulder and he almost let his tears flow down here and there, because he felt a familiar warmth, one that he yearns for every day of his life.

Holding Mika close to him, one of his hands protecting the back of his head gently, “I could never blame you for something that was out of your control, Mika.” Yuu whispered back, it was tender yet so loathsome to hear at the same time.

How can he be so forgiving?

Why is his heart so kind?

Time and time again, he feels like he doesn’t deserve a person like Yuu.

But, each moment that he spends with him, he gets reminded of how lucky he is to still be here, not exactly alive but — to be with Yuu.

And Yuu doesn’t hate him, he can never hate him. Mika sighed, giving in to the boy’s embrace.

He reluctantly wrapped his arms around Yuu as well, holding him just as gently. “How can you always be so positive all the time, do you not see the situation we’re in?” He continued.

The boy leaned back a little, allowing the blonde-haired demon to sink deeper into his loving embrace. “‘Course, I do!” He exclaims, the seemingly goofy demeanour coming back.

Then, it dropped once more again and Yuu let a bitter look appear in the hollow of his eyes. “But, I’m not positive all the time, Mika, I often hide what I really feel behind a smile, ya know?” He tells the blonde-haired demon by his side. “I don’t want the others to worry about me.”

There was a minute of silence between them, none of them were speaking. It didn’t reassure the blonde boy at all that, the person he cared for the most in this world, was saying such a thing.

Of course, he’d worry for him just as much as Yuu worried for him. Maybe, he worried a bit more — or even, a little too much.

But, he’ll never admit that out loud.

“Well, you shouldn’t, Yuu-chan.” Mika tells him, tightening his grip around the boy a little more.

Then, as if his cheeks began to burn a little, “I’m worried about you.” He whispered into the cloth of Yuu’s uniform.

Being in Yuu’s arms and telling him how much he cares and worries about him made Mikaela feel a blast of emotions he couldn’t exactly describe; it’s been years since his humanity had been taken from him, what are these human emotions doing here?

“Really, you don’t hafta worry about me. I’m really okay, I promise.” He ran his fingers along the back of the boy’s head, intertwining his fingers with the blonde locks of hair. “But, I’m here for you, Mika. I’m always going to be, and if you try to stop me then...I won’t let you because I’m not letting you go and be alone again!”

A chuckle escaped the demon’s lips, and he felt his heart become heavy with love for the boy.

“Yuu-chan..”

And the two stayed there for a moment; wrapped into each other’s arms and not minding for the meantime that Guren and the Shinoa squad were out looking for them — they’ll deal with excuses for running off later, but of course, they’ll do it together.

Noodle's Anime Watchlist

Thought I'd keep a record, just for fun!

Favorites:

Natsume Yujincho/Natsume's Book of Friends

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn

Soul Eater

Fully/mostly watched and enjoyed:

Ushio and Tora - FAVORITE dynamic, really like Ushio, short enough that I could finish and enjoy the whole thing without too much effort. Would even enjoy some more!

Rising of the Shield Hero - I think I finished the first season, but I'm not sure if there's more. Fun!

Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End - vampires! possession! drama!

Bleach - One of my first ever anime! Kind of fizzled out during the drudge of vs. Arrancar fights, but I'm excited for the new season. High nostalgia value, currently reading the manga.

Dororo - lovely and dramatic

Haiku! - very low stakes and lighthearted fun

Free - fun sports anime with fun character dynamics!

Satsuriku no Tenshi/Angels of Death - this is a weird one where the show itself is actually too far into the horror/gore for me to enjoy on its own but i read quiet like a fight and that propelled me through a good chunk of it. the amount of anime I've started because of good fic might be embarrassing if I cared.

Magi - the sexism was really over my threshold but in between that i had fun

K/K Project - kind of weird but i watched the whole thing in one night and cried. Suoh is one of my favorite character types and Kenjiro Tsuda is one of my favorite VAs.

Seven Deadly Sins - definitely not on my rec list given the sexism but the dude in red (Greed?) is My Kind of Character so i skipped through a lot of it.

Partly watched and enjoyed:

Isekai Izakaya - certain shows I really love, but instead of watching them all at once, I pull out an episode whenever I'm in the mood. I pull this one out whenever I want to chill and see delicious food.

Trigun - fun, more or less the same as above! More episodic type anime usually falls under this category for me.

Tanaka-kun is Always Listless - another chill one that's firmly on my likes list even thought I haven't seen much of it

Mob Psycho 100 - REALLY liked the first season, haven't really been able to get into the second for whatever reason.

Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer - Liked the first season! It doesn't quite have that special spark that makes me love it, but the lead is precious. I might continue.

My Hero Acadamia - I watched like until? season three? and had some kind of allergic reaction that has rendered me spectacularly indifferent. I enjoyed it at the time, though?

One Punch Man - kind of brainless fun for when I want the exact same thing repeatedly but in a funny way

Kamisama Kiss - Tomoe scratches a particular character itch for me but I keep getting frustrated by shoujo romance tropes I hate

Golden Kamuy - I really enjoyed the first season! and maybe season two, I'm not sure? I would like to finish this one sometime.

Rurouni Kenshin - the characters are a+ but some older shows are A Lot. I might try the manga instead?

Inuyasha

Lupin III - I've seen some of the movies and enjoyed them, seen some of the shows and enjoyed them! an ongoing watch

Started, might continue?

Jujutsu Kaisen - Yet Another Shounen Show, not much to differentiate it from shows like Demon Slayer, MHA, etc. Is there a genre for long-running battle-focused powerup shounen shows?

Banana Fish

Yuri!!! on Ice

Noblesse

Gintama - weird. Might try again?

Ao no Exorcist - Started looking for the brother dynamic, got thrown off by the hostility.

Bungo Stray Dogs - for some reason I find this show confusing

Blood Blockade Battlefront - same as above. It's got the right chaos vibes but something's not clicking.

The Ancient Magus' Bride - I get bothered by shows where female characters are rendered permanently delicate by circumstance or tropes (one of the things I dislike in Yona) and when it's combined with romance it can squick me really easily. This kinda walked the line? Enough that I stuck with it, and it's absolutely beautiful.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Erased

PERSONA5 the Animation

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - high on my to-watch list

Started and noped out:

REBORN! - this is one of those weird ones where I actually Really like the fic (xanxus my boy) but i Could Not get into the anime

DARLING in the FRANXX - Too Many Butts

No Game No Life - Yikes(TM)

Goblin Slayer - Yikes(TM)

Started and got bored:

The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat - Not bad, I'm just not particularly interested in the kind of isekai that's all about the lead being overpowered

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime - I lasted a lot longer watching this one, but see above! It was fun and lighthearted though, I might continue when I'm in the mood.

Sword Art Online - less bored and more baffled? I really liked the firsttttt....two? seasons? but then they kept jumping settings and I got frustrated.

Black Clover - eventually the shounen shows start to blur together and the first few episodes felt like Just More Shounen so I dropped it.

Rokka -Braves of the Six Flowers-

Fate/Zero - or at least one of the fate/ shows

Currently watching (I tend to rotate between shows):

Sabikui Bisco - LOVING it, I really like Bisco as a character

Cowboy Bepop - exactly as good as promised

Mushishi - I think this'll be another show on the chillout list. It's gorgeous and just slightly creepy in a fun way.

One Piece - I made it to fishman island, I think, and lost my stamina 😅 Thinking about picking it up again, though!

Attack on Titan - more brutal than my usual fare, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for something horrifying.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

To watch:

Way of the Househusband

Berserker, maybe?

Fire Force - It's the Soul Eater guy, I gotta try it

Kill la Kill - the amount of Sexy Outfits is A Lot but it's got that neon chaos that I adored in Promare

Gurren Lagann - same as above!

Revolutionary Girl Utena

Favourite anime??

ashdghafsdhg;hfgfsd thats a loaded question. I've clearly been hyperfixated on many an anime in the past, but yknow, not all of them were actually good, I just got Attached to them, yknow. A lot of the media I'm a fan of just genuinely sucks, like tokyo ghoul lol. But I'm going to grade this on the ones that I think actually did a good job in canon, that narrows it down a Lot.

I think my top three for Actually Best Anime have to go to Mob Psycho 100, No. 6, and Moriarty the Patriot. Those three are all virtually perfect media to me, though of course nothing is completely free of Issues. Theyre just genuinely the best. Mob Psycho is free therapy and epic animation to boot, No. 6 is every queer bitch's dream come true with free ACAB included, and Yuumori is just communist theory for the queers, the anime?? We fucking stan

I give Hanako-kun an honorable mention in this category, because so far the anime is fucking perfect, but yknow, I've read the manga, and shit hits the fan in ways I'm not sure I like so hhhh

However the top three anime that I've given the most love to, despite the canon being Problematic but pretty good to Just Actual Dogshit would probably be Owari no Seraph, Tokyo Ghoul, and Bungo Stray Dogs (though its still pretty new to me). I think they run the same vein of my favorite genre of yknow. Supernatural bitches yelling, fighting each other, and calling each other fucking homos, and I will deal with any amount of bullshit for that tbh...

Anime Partner Search

Hello everyone! My name is Wolf and I'm currently searching for anime roleplay partners, whom can use canon characters for M/M roles! (Darn you Bishie-Studios MEP!) -I'm in various anime fandoms, from Owari No Seraph, Blue Exorcist, and Tokyo Ghoul to Assassination Classroom, Attack on Titan, and many others in the list I've seen! So any characters from the anime I will list are recommended! (Sadly no OCs this time, BUT, personality manipulation is gladly welcome.) -The type of base canon character I'm looking for are either the protagonist, antagonist, or the important side characters. Personality wise, I'm looking for dominant and possibly yandere, or obsessive/possessive. (you'll make me very, very happy!) -My paragraph formats can highly range from three to six, depending on how well the story is. But there will be long delays if it's dealing with long replies, as I have trouble usually putting my thoughts out onto writing. -Being a writer for ten years now, I'm always looking for long term stories, but if it's short term, I don't mind as long the ideas continue on in one-shot like stories. -The genres I prefer are modern as well as fantasy which is what I usually pair together. Alongside that, I can incorporate horror along with action and adventure. As well as NSFW themes, which are a want more than a need in the story. -Dealing with pairing characters, I ALWAYS ship my Original Character with the canon character of my favorite anime. (Ex: Kaneki Ken x Wolf, my own character. -Dies Happily If Someone Plays As Him-) -With limits and wants from my partners, here they are: •I would really like my partners to look over everything I put down. •I don't want my partners to ignore me, even if it's due to personal issues. Tell me. •I do not want SUBS. Submissives. Littles. Whatever name you call yourself, I. Am. Not. A Dom. Even if I have male characters, they are all submissive! If you message me despite this, I will block you. •I do not want seducers, I want forcers. Meaning, if you think my character is just going to come to you, you're dead wrong. Not to mention, it's boring for a first encounter until my character is claimed fully. •I do not want heavy abuse or death. Despite my character being in the category of 'Badass Uke' (via the real SemeUke quiz), I do not want them to bleed or anything like that. Bruises and some blood are fine, but limbs getting cut off is too much. Whips as well. •I am looking for doms, masters, and those who are on that level. (Also character's who have a gentle, but firm/strict hand) •I am 60% looking for sexual partners, but I want story in the roleplay. •I would also like acceptance with my character, whom is a demon. I have others, but due to not having a completed story nor art for them as a reference. My username is WolfTheDemon, on Kik as well as email; tjcat123@gmail.com. However I'd like it if you message me on kik since I'm more comfortable there. Now that most is said and done, I will be waiting for anime partners to roleplay with! Hope to hear from you all soon, I'll message a link to character kinks as well as other unsaid requirements/information.

It’s too late

Synopsis: The belief that she could rip his throat apart in a second was the main source of her arrogance. She upheld the reputation of the fearsome bloody Queen that twirled around her enemies and lopped their heads off.

(An alternative ending to chapter 41: “Arrogant Love”)

Pairing: Ferid Bathory x Krul Tepes (Ferikrul)

—————-

In this moment, anyone could’ve felt their lungs be choked with the scent of ashes and dread as the blood-stricken skies were falling down on this poor dystopian country.

It had been reduced into a battlefield in less than an hour for both human and vampirekind.

It was a difficult sight to bear, an utter catastrophe for both sides of this war, including the poor residents living nearby.

Their buildings have been borrowed for close-quarter encounters and then destroyed when everyone was finished using them.

The fog caused by said battles made it harder for everyone to navigate through; the brave soldiers’ eyes watered as they tried to push through to safety.

There were often surprises that waited for them on the horizon, a blade coloured of either bloody red or luminescent green. What it does? Well, the conflict ended rather one-sided.

Being so foolish thinking that she could escape the site so easily, she had been stopped in her tracks by a red and black-braided warrior — his sharp glance with the intention to harm her.

Her impressive display of strength stopped him before he could even raise his weapon at her, the tiny Queen of Japan had cut his arm off as easily as snipping a ribbon short.

Naturally, for the Queen, combat was like chess. It was a game she was knew how to play yet showed hesitance to start it. Regardless, she looked at Crowley with a flicker of annoyance. The belief that she could rip his throat apart in a second was the main source of her arrogance. She upheld the reputation of the fearsome bloody Queen that twirled around her enemies and lopped their heads off.

It looked like she had been dancing in that moment, by the way she gracefully landed on Crowley Eusford’s shoulder, making sure to dig the heel of her stilettos deep and make him whimper. She then gripped his head right after.

Her eyes displayed an unpleasant expression, she did not like that attempt of his of a secret attack. Pathetic.

Beneath such a look, there was very subtle mockery lurking; did he really believe he could stop a third progenitor of all vampires?

She had snapped his head in half the next second, not bothering with applying effort in her hold. She jumped back down, with the same grace as earlier, watching as her target fell immobile on the ground.

She didn’t watch her back.

Too proud of stopping the thirteenth progenitor, she allowed herself to be caught in the fangs of Ferid Bathory, the menace to her Queenship.

“My Queen, you’ve panicked.” The silver-haired progenitor snickered at her, landing behind his now-captured Queen. “You’ve left your beautiful neck wide open.” He didn’t hesitate to sink his fangs in her shoulder’s skin one single bit.

It was a dish served to him on a silver platter.

Eyes struck open in surprise, the vampiress hissed for freedom.

“W-Wait, Ferid Bathory..” she raised a hand of hers to pry his face away from her shoulder. “We can m-make a deal..”

She didn’t resort to pleading often, especially not to a mongrel like him, but what other choice did she have in order to get away from this situation?

It was if her words didn’t belong to her, she never wanted this to fall upon her. She never wanted to beg to the likes of Ferid Bathory.

But she had to. If she wanted to live.

They both knew how this situation could have been avoided. It was merely the consequence of meddling with the divinity and the unknown, Ferid knew her secrets.

As spite, the man clenched her skin between his fangs a little tighter. More blood sept out from the wound and to Krul, it felt much more painful than a pinch now, it was excruciating.

The Queen let out a groan of discomfort at the feeling. She was in trouble this time, she couldn’t move, she was back-bound against his fangs.

He had been drinking her blood so quickly, she began to feel faint. She could barely make out the colour of the skies, red, pink, black?

Her vision made it impossible to see it dearly.

And so, she discovered a grim realization.

“F-Ferid wait...y-you’re killing me..” she whispered out to the progenitor, aware that it was now useless — he continued to drink from her shoulder regardless, eventually, drinking her dry.

Ferid felt her fall limp in his hold and he held back a bittersweet smile. He pulled his fangs away from her shoulder and wiped his mouth with a single finger.

“It had to be done...” he whispered to the fallen Queen of Japan. He knew that talking was useless now. He had killed her; all for the reward and recognition he’d receive by the progenitor council.

All for the sake of advancing forward with his plans.

But even at such a victory, there was anything aside from happiness that washed over him.

He killed her in cold blood.

“I loved you...I loved you so so much...don’t think I don’t know that, I wish you did too.”

He inhaled sharply, still holding on tightly to the corpse of the former Queen of Japan. The royal title now belonged to him but frankly, Ferid didn’t genuinely want it.

“Why did you have to break the laws, Krul?”

His head lowers in shame, pressing down onto Krul’s shoulders, the tears never stopping from trailing down his pale cheeks.

It was unusual for a vampire to cry, but after this, it was all Ferid felt like doing.

[themidnightzoneandback]

A helping hand

Synopsis: When scouting out territories to plan their coup against the humans, the vampires encounter a rather inconvenient hill side.

(Muse A rests one hand on muse B’s back and holds out the other for muse B to hold to help them climb up/down something.)

Pairing: Ferid Bathory & Krul Tepes (Ferikrul) (Can be read either platonic or romantic)

————————

“We will set position down that hill.”

“Yes, Queen Krul.”

Having arrived just in time to see the sun go down, Krul peered out from behind the tree along with a handful of soldiers she had brought with her from Sanguinem.

One of said soldiers was the bothersome Seventh progenitor, Ferid Bathory. The loss of light in a couple of minutes was none of her concern, if anything, it’d be better if they set up everything when the humans were most likely asleep.

Her kind allowed them to stay awake for eternity, not because they want to, but because they don’t require the necessity to sleep anymore ever since they gave up their humanities to become a blood-thirsty monster — but ultimately, a species stronger than humans.

When seeing her conflicted expression at the edge of the hill, Ferid walked over to her. “Allow me, Krul.” He dramatically bowed at her feet, offering himself to go down the hill first, checking to see if there was any danger waiting for them at the bottom.

Not that, it’d be any problem to vampires, again, but there was something amusing to pretending to be worried of such a foolish human scenario. Ferid particularly enjoyed that.

“You may go. But don’t try anything funny.” She permitted herself to give him approval, but in a tone so serious that Ferid knew she didn’t trust him on keeping that promise — and of course, he wouldn’t!

He’s Ferid flipping Bathory!

Ferid instantly retorted with lovingly mocking eyes. “And why would I do that?~” he challenged in a sing-song tone. “I’d never try anything under your watch, Krul.”

Watching the Queen roll her eyes at his remark, his lips part on their own to laugh. He figures that he should get on with what he was assigned to do as standing there for much longer would get him grilled and cut in pieces for serving.

He walked over the edge of the hill and immediately spotted a pile of rocks sticking out. He could use them to get down.

He didn’t play careful at all, not with an audience around. He’d do anything to catch a reaction from Krul, whether it was a flinch when he almost slipped or a shout of his name when he almost lets go of the rocks.

Ah, but he dreams too much, Krul would never do the latter. But, that’s what made everything with her so fun sometimes. Intentionally losing his step and complaining: “Oh whoopsies, I think I almost slipped…” He was baffled to see that his drama wasn’t working at all; Krul was not reacting to him, and Ferid hated being ignored.

He tried and tried again to cause a scene; yelling out in mockingly pain when his nails intentionally crushed the rock when he grabbed on, or when he felt the strength in his bones leave his arms.

But by the time he was down the hill, Ferid didn’t receive the merest of congratulations from his Queen. No “Thank you’s” or “Thank you for going first, Ferid.”

Of course she’d never say that to him, of course that vile greedy woman would never.

“A fine position to plan our coup.” Ferid observed with a satisfied nod. He then immediately looked back up to face the top of the hill where the tiny Vampire Queen and the rest of the soldiers stood.

At her height, those gigantic rocks will sure cause a problem to her getting down — but oh, who was he kidding?

He was perfectly aware that the Queen could get down on her own, but irritating her with a remark here and there was one of his favourite pastimes in this prolonged lifetime. “Oh, does her majesty perhaps need help getting down?”

Abruptly stopping mid-step and thus clinging her nails onto the rocks, Krul jerked her head back and hissed at the man for what he proposed.

“Quiet. I can do it myself.” She snapped back before attempting to climb back down the rocks, definitely slower than he had.

He obviously didn’t buy it one single bit, because his next move was to do something that would deeply frustrate her.

“Clearly not! Here, let me help you~!”

The silver-haired progenitor gleefully walked over to his Queen, and placed a gloved hand on her back.

He could feel the small vampiress tense at his touch, and Ferid couldn’t hold back a smirk.

The fact that his hand was on her back was making her — a third progenitor — on edge.

What an accomplishment that was!

“Don’t touch me.”

Within a few seconds of Ferid placing his hand behind her back, Krul shot him scowl. But Ferid was unphased by such a look, if anything, it threw him in an adrenaline haze.

He loved to cause trouble, anything to feel close to any form of emotion that wasn’t safety. That’s why he loved tampering with the authority heads so much, his particular favourites being the Queen of Japan and King of Germany.

He let go of her back and stepped away from her a little, waiting for her next command.

But, he’d never give her up, so easily!

“If you’d like, I can keep my hand on your—“

He didn’t get to finish, for he felt a surge of pain lodging his left arm. When the vampire glanced down to have a look as to what caused the sudden pain, he let out an “Ah” of acknowledgement when he spotted no hand there. Instead, there was an overflow of blood.

The Queen was happily walking away from him now, leaving his dismembered hand that she cut off, in the grass.

“Ahaha.” Ferid let out a purr of laughter, leaning down to pick up his hand. “You mustn’t be so serious all the time, my Queen!“

He could’ve sworn that for a split second he saw an unamused glare appear on the little vampire’s face before she turned around and began walking out further into their ruined world, she didn’t know that after this day, she’d be outside more often.

But, not for the reasons she believes.
