Normality [part 1]

Sypnosis:

How it's like living in a SAGAU cult Teyvat without getting hunted or declared the creator.

Warning:

Y/n is not mentally okay and needs therapy, angst?

— [More under the cut] —

You rest your head lazily on the counter, the rice cake soup you ordered has long been finished yet you can't find the strength to stand up and leave.

“Mr/Ms Y/n, it's time to leave.”

A familiar voice speaks but you make no effort to face her.

“5 more minutes.”

A sigh escapes from their lips as she softly runs her finger through your hair.

“Y/n, i know it's hard for you but the decree is for your own good.”

A self deprecating scoff escapes your lips as you lift your head up and look at her with defeated eyes.

“For my own good? This… stupid decree did nothing but cage me in the Tenshukaku. Doing nothing after a bunch of nothing, i feel like i'm losing my mind every second i spend there.”

You run your hands through your face, a heavy feeling descending on your body.

“Miyuki i–i don't want to go back. Can we stay here for a bit… please?”

Seeing your distress Miyuki decided to postpone your retrieval, motioning for the soldiers nearby to stand in wait.

Things haven't always been like this, life after your arrival here hasn't been good but at least it wasn't bad, at least this bad.

The existence of other people who look like you in this SAGAU world meant you didn't get hunted, instead people saw you as a blessed person given the looks of the creator.

This brought it's pros and cons but through sheer determination, luck, and pride you didn't end up like the others and actually managed to live independently by yourself.

You were proud of what you had, finally in your dull life you have managed to achieve something with your own two hands. Yes you live in a small apartment and work as a simple assistant cook of Kiminami restaurant but it was fine, the world looks more colorful and you couldn't wait to see how better things would go.

.

.

.

A few months ago nobody knew why but many of your look-alikes kept disappearing, never to be seen again.

This threw the world into chaos as they tried to find the culprits while more and more of them disappeared. The Raiden Shogun even declared that all people blessed with the image of the creator must be kept in the Tenshukaku to be guarded and protected.

The air is thick with constant tension at the Tenshukaku, especially for you and your buddies, some couldn't take it and dealt with themselves or fled the Tenshukaku to hide in the wilderness, never to be heard from again as far as you know.

That's why you're here today, hunched over a stool in Kiminami restaurant, desperate to experience even a hint of normalcy you once had.

You probably gave the shrine maiden assigned to you, Kuki Miyuki, a heart attack with your "escape" but you're not dumb enough to follow the others towards certain doom.

As Miyuki guided you back towards the Tenshukaku, surrounded by soldiers and curious passerbys you couldn't help but wish for the normalcy you once had.

WEARING A PRETTY OUTFIT FOR HIM ♥︎

this popped into my head as i was cleaning out my closet. hope you lovelies enjoy!

tags: Arataki Itto, female! reader, fluff, teasing, lots of touching, smutty

-> you decide to surprise Itto on one of your date nights with a brand new, pretty outfit. however, the way it hugs your body makes him drool, wondering if the two of you should just stay home...

reqs open!

"itto? are you okay, hon?" you ask worriedly. as soon as you opened your door once the oni's heavy palm knocked on it, his jaw fell and his crimson eyes widened.

even when you asked him a question, no response came out. he continued staring quietly - which was very unusual. itto never did anything quetly.

"holy fuck, baby!" he suddenly exclaimed, wiping his face off shock. "you look.. wow. i mean, wow wow WOW!"

you chuckle at his praise, a soft tint rising in your cheeks. you catch one of his much larger palms in your hands, gently leading him inside your house.

as soon as he was inside, the oni made himself comfortable, sitting at the edge of your bed. that same dumbfounded yet extremely amused look still sat on his face as he looked at you, his demon eyes scanning the entirety of your figure.

"wow, sweets, ya' haven't shown me that one before!" he exclaimed with a large, toothy smile on his face, looking like a mesmerized puppy. if he had a tail, it would definitely be wagging.

but yet, his words were the truth - the silk, red dress you were wearing was purchased only the day before, and it was having its debut.

"oh, i got it yesterday at the market! this one was imported from liyue harbor, isn't that amazing? i love the gold details and this black bow on the back!"

oh, he loved them as well. gold, red and black were itto's favorite colors, of course he liked seeing them on you! especially on a short dress that barely covered your plump curves! hell, any color would look great on that perfect body of yours!

your hair was put up stylishly and elegantly, exposing your soft neck and that little almost-faded bite mark that itto left on you the last time you went out. the dress was short-sleeved, perfect for this early-summer weather, and so tight that it perfectly showed off your figure. and fuck, your slender arms that always eagerly wrapped around his biceps, and that beautiful waist he loved to hold, and those incredibly sexy hips he kneeded whenever he had the chance... and that beautiful plump ass that made him lose his mind, and holy shit, those heavy, pretty tits that were so beautifully framed by the heart neckline...

it was making itto lose his mind.

"it looks incredible, love bug! the dress is so pretty, but honestly, it's only that gorgeous 'cause you're wearing it, baby"

you smiled at his compliment, walking a few steps closer to him.

"aww, itto... you're so handsome too, you know? my big, handsome oni..." you say, your palms on his cheeks as you kiss the top of his head.

as soon as these words left your rosey mouth, his greedy hands grabbed your ass, sharp claws digging in the soft flesh. he looked up at you from his place on your bed, that same smile on his face.

"aww, sweets, you're makin' me blush over here! i try my best, ya know, gotta clean up a lil' if i'm takin' my girl out!"

clean shaven, with sharp eyeliner that for sure took him multiple tries (untill he just gave up and let Kuki do it) and a little bit of gel in his mane, you could tell itto really put in the effort in his appearance!

suddenly, he got up, offering you his hand: "c'mon, love bug, give me a little spin, yeah? go on, show off that pretty little dress, baby!"

you did as told, spinning around to give him a better view. he drooled at the sight, his hands instinctively grabbing your plushy tighs and running under your dress.

"itto!", you scold through a laugh, "don't do that, we're supposed to go out tonight!"

with a toothy grin on his face he pulled your bodies closer, hiding his face in the crook of your neck.

"aaww, but- but, sweets! we don't have to go out, yeah? we could stay here, you know? get nice and cozy, have a night in? yeah? you'd like that, baby, hm?"

every word he uttered was followed by a squeeze on a part of your skin, your tighs, hips and ass constantly violated by his playful yet suggesting grips.

"no, sorry babe, i'm hungry! but we're definitely having a "night in" later..." you seductively say, batting your eyelashes at him. "plus, if you like this dress, you're gonna go crazy about what's under it, too"

his eyes go wide as you walk out the door, motioning for him to follow you.

"you're such a little tease, love bug..." he growled as he followed you, one muscular arm wrapping around your waist.

"and you have to promise me you'll give me a nice, long fashion show later with whatever's underneath that dress, 'kay? even if there's nothing there. especially if there's nothing there!"

“Here it is, in all its pride and glory! The Otogi Ramen Stand!” The gang leader said presenting the run-down ramen stall. “Get whatever you’d like we can cover it.” He said with a chuckle. You looked down at the prices, which were between 100 mora and 500. He probably took you here for the cheap price since he doesn't have a deep pocket.

You scanned over the menu looking at all the food but one dish in particular caught your eye. “One bowl of chili oil and beef ramen please.” You heard a gasp behind you as you ordered. Behind you, the boys had their hands on their chests while others had their faces in their hands. They looked like mothers from the 1800s when their kids tells them they're gay. “Um, you guys alright?”

“No! You just disrespected the auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang!” One of the members said while pointing an accusatory finger at you.

Auxiliary member? I don’t remember one of those in the gang. And how would I be disrespecting them by ordering that dish? Maybe I am still dreaming.

“Guys she doesn’t know yet so don’t be too hard on her,” Itto turns back to you. “The Auxiliary Member of the Arataki Gang is my buddy Ushi.” He punches the air and a flash of yellow light appears only to be replaced by a small bull. Ooohhhh, that Ushi! Itto’s bull. “(Y/n), Ushi, Ushi, (Y/n). As you can see Ushi is part bull so we find it a little disrespectful for someone to eat beef.”

“Oh okay, no problem,” You turn back to the seller, “Then instead I will have a chili oil and pork ramen bowl.” The seller, who has been listening to your strange conversation the entire time, gives you a weird look and then makes your bowl for you.

Once it is all paid for by Itto, the gang and you sit down at a table and talk. You don't participate in the conversation that much but you do learn the names of the others in the gang: Akira, Genta, and Mamoru. But you were more focused on the ramen in front of you. It certainly wasn’t the best ramen you’ve had, but it's not the worst. I mean it could use more noodles. It was lacking on that par and- “(Y/n)!”

Snapping out of your food-themed trance you glance back up at the group looking at you like they were waiting for something. “Hm? I’m sorry what were you saying?”

“We were asking if you had any place to stay for the night or were just on the streets?” Mamoru asks.

“Oh, I’m uh, on the streets,” You say putting your head down in shame. You didn’t have a place to go other than that forest area, but that wasn’t the best option.

“How about you stay with me?” Your head snaps up in surprise. You knew Itto was nice in game but you didn’t know he was this nice. “I’ve got one spare bed in my house for ya,”

“But Boss, you only have two beds and one of them is Shinobu’s, she probably won’t like this arrangement.”

“Nocense! Once she sees the noble act I have done for this child she will be proud of me! Plus she’s out for two days so we will have time to come up with a better solution.” He said speed talking the last part.

“I mean as long as I’m not intruding…” you say hesitantly

“Of course not it's my house!” He says a flashes a small at you. “Now come with me, I will show you around!” You said your quick goodbyes to the gang and headed off to Itto’s house.

The first thing you noticed when you got inside was the amount of filth in his house. The sink was filled with dirty dishes, and blankets and pillows were tossed wherever.

“How long ago did your roommate leave?”

“Oh, a day ago,” He says as he grabbed a pillow from the kitchen and dusted it off. He's hopeless without Shinobu, oh my god… There is no way she would have let it get this bad, and within a day he has already managed to wreck the place.

“Anyways, here is where you’ll be sleeping for the time being.” He opened the door to a clean bedroom with a kneeling table in the middle, a futon in the corner, and a dresser on the opposite wall. It was so neat and well put together. You couldn’t even compare it to the natural disaster of a room that was the front room.

“This is so nice…” You walk into the room in awe.

“Yeah, Shinobu is a clean freak, you’ll meet her in 2 days and I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you and proud of me hehe.” He says with a chuckle. “Oh! And I will get you something to sleep in, I will be right back!” And with that, he dashed off into another room. Leaving you alone. In a room. Of a fictional character's house. Away from home. Away from your family. Friends. Everything you’ve ever cared about and know has gone away from your reach.

Your breathing starts to pick up and the reality of your situation sets in, You are in a dangerous world full of monsters and people who would kill you without a second thought. Why are you here? How is this happening? What do you do when Shinobu comes back to find a stranger in her bed? She’ll probably kick you out and what are you supposed to do then? Your throat tightens up and you feel your self tearing up, you collapse on the floor and hope you disappear. You have no idea what you are doing.

“Woah woah, are you okay.” Itto appears beside you and kneels next to you hesitantly pulling you into his arms. “Hey hey, it’s okay I’m here…” He says trying to comfort you but it doesn’t seem to be helping. “Um, listen I know things are tough right now, and you are a long way from home. But you are strong, and you can make it through this. And don’t worry I can help you every step of the way.”

You look up at him in surprise, “Really?”

“Uh, um… yeah, of course!” He looked like he regretted promising that to you. “Don't worry, for now just get changed and go to sleep. That’s the best thing you can do right now.”

Y-yeah he’s right I just need a bit of sleep to get my mind right.

“Thank you Itto, for everything,” You give him a warm smile and take the yukata from him.

“No problemo sister, anytime!” He says smugly and shoots finger guns at you. “Have a good night and I will see you in the morning.”

The next two days you spent with the Arataki gang were the most fun and the fastest days you’ve had. The first day they took your clothes shopping and ended up getting banned from two shops for improper etiquette. On the second day, they went around challenging children to beetle battles, which caused children to leave crying with less mora than they had originally. This eventually led to Itto getting told off by angry parents. (Let me know if you guys want mini-stories on these events.)

But throughout those two days you still had one thing on your mind. How do you get out of here? Since you knew that sakoku and vision hunt decree were still in act that would mean the traveler hasn’t arrived here yet which is good. Because he could be your ticket out of here. But you had one problem, you had no idea when they would get here. You don’t know if you arrived during their time in Liyue or worse, you guys arrived at the same time. If you arrived at the same time as the traveler, that could be bad for you as it could take a year or two for them to get here. But this fact was out of your control. All you could do was wait a hope they’d come soon.

For now, you were at a restaurant in Inazuma City as the gang said they had something very important they needed to discuss with you. This restaurant was a very middle-class restaurant that would probably have a three-and-a-half review on Yelp, but the price was on the expensive side for Itto and the gang. So they must have had something really important they needed to discuss with you.

You go through dinner with the guys laughing, talking, and enjoying for when Genta nudges the boss and jesters towards you with his head. Itto clears his throat and raises his glass of water while tapping it with a spoon. “Treasured Members of the Arataki Gang, only two days ago have we met this young child all alone in the woods, starving and helpless…”

You quirked your eyebrow up at him, “I wasn’t starving and helples-”

“Starving and helpless!” He pushes a finger in front of your mouth and shushes you. ”And within two days we have nurtured them in a strong individual. This is why I’m pleased to ask, from the gang and myself, if you would like to join the gang of Ara-!” “ARATAKI ITTO!”

A shout vibrates through the restaurant and causes everyone in the restaurant to jump in surprise. The source of the shout was from none other than Kuki Shinobu, the Deputy Officer of the gang.

“Sh-Shinobu! I didn’t know you’d be back so soon!” Itto says with a nervous chuckle.

“I said three days, and I’m back after three days ain’t I?” She says with a dark expression on her face. Her eyes glanced over the table and most of the boys hid their gaze until they landed on you. You don’t know if she is angry at you or what but her eyes never left you. “Itto. Outside. Now.”

“Yes ma’ma.” As they walked away Itto hung his head low in shame. And they walked out of the restaurant and slammed the door behind them. The restaurant hung in an awkward silence until your waiter brought the check out to your table.

“Wait but we're not ready to leave yet,” Genta says to the waitress.

“Um, yes but we are. Please pay your tab and leave, thank you for dining here tonight.” She said nervously while bowing then walked away.

The boys looked at the tab and their faces darkened.

“Shit.”

“Hm? What's wrong?”

“We don’t have the mora for this.”

“Well, how much is it?”

“4,634 mora…”

Shit.

“What were you thinking?! Bringing a kid into the gang, as an official member!?” Kuki Shinobu was currently berating her boss for bringing a kid into the gang without consulting her first. “When Mamoru told me in that letter I couldn’t believe it!”

“But Shinobu you didn’t see how they wer-”

“I didn’t ask for your input, I will allow you to speak when I need you to, yes?”

“Yes…” Itto said dejectedly.

“This has to be the most immature thing you have done in a while and I’ve seen you do some pretty stupid shit. But to bring a child to a gang then allow them to sleep in my room while I was away.” She shook her head at the horned man. “I can’t believe this… Alright, you may defend your case now.”

“Okay, so you see th-,” But before Itto even got a full sentence out Shinobu stopped him.

“Actually, I want to hear this from the kid themself, go get them.” She snapped at him.

Itto let out a sigh, “Fine,” He marched back into the restaurant and grabbed you while the other members frantically figuring out how to pay for this meal. Once you stepped outside and were met with shiobu face to face. She is a short but menacing woman, the mask covering her face made her even more scary.

“My name is Kuki Shinobu, I am the Deputy Officer of the Arataki Gang, you have most likely heard of me through them.” She says gesturing back inside the restaurant. “Now, I'm not mad, I just want to know what's happening. Please tell me your side of the story.” She said giving the floor to you.

“Um, well you see, I was sent on a research mission for the Akademiya here when-…” Kuki listened to your story without interruption and only nodded at you as you explained.

“Hmm, I have a couple of questions. Why don't you go to the Tenryo Commission to take you back?

“I would but it’s still too expensive to go back and I don't have that kind of money right now."

“Hasn’t the akademiya sent a letter to you or anything?”

“In that Strom,” You say pointing to the storm blocking anything from getting in and out of Inazuma. “No.”

“Hm, do you really have nowhere to go?” She says emphasizing 'really'. You shake your head at her. This was the first question you did have to lie to her about. You really didn’t have anywhere to go if Shinobu kicked you out of her house. You didn’t know what you would do… That throat-straining feeling came back to you at that moment.

“Last question, if you were to join the Arataki Gang would not be paid much, and you would have to help around with the gang and keep them out of trouble. But you would be offered a place to stay, eat, and people that have your back. If you are fine with these terms then, would you like to join the Arataki Gang?”

The world stops for a moment, was she offering you a place in the gang? That feeling constricting your heart disappeared and was replaced by an overwhelming joy in your heart. “Y-yes, yes! Absolutely yes!” You rush forward to give her a hug which she hesitantly accepts.

“Hehe, okay let's go back in so we can tell the good news to the boys.” She says smiling with her eyes.

When you walked back into the restaurant you found Itto and the boys hunching over the bill with bags of mora in their hands.

“Come on boys let’s pay the tab and leave.” the masked woman ushers them to hurry.

“We're trying to but, uh, it got a little expensive…”

She quirked her eyebrow up at them. “Hm? Let me see the bill then.” They hesitantly handed her the bill and after one look at it, Shinobu's eyes blew wide open. “4,634 mora…!”

“We’re sorry Shinobu! We swear we will make it up to you but we just need half of that sum for dinner today!”

Shinobu looked like she could kill at any moment right now. “You better or else I’m going to have your heads as dinner the next time!”

You stood behind Shinobu giggling at the fact that a small Japanese woman was lecturing a group of grown men. Maybe you wouldn’t mind if traveler took a little longer to get here…

"[Name], why do you look so tired? You shouldn't be tired, I should be tired. Actually, I can't be tired, never mind. Did someone do this to you? Your... parents? Well, what are you waiting for? Show me where they live, I'll get rid of them immediately so you and I can have a bit of alone time together before Ei comes back. Stupid mortals..."

Ei

"Dear, how are you? Oh, you look awful! My apology, I couldn't think of another way to word it. Are you okay? No? Oh, okay. Maybe you'd like some... sweets! O-or candy! We can eat candy together to make you feel better! Please?"

Jean

"You look stressed beyond belief, [name]. You really need to take a break, yes, a break from your parents I mean. If they're toxic for your healththen you need to stay away from them. That might be hard but its okay, I'm the Acting Grand Master of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius. I can... kick them out of the city! Quite unprofessional but you're one of our best knights. We can't afford to lose you to them. Stay at the headquarters' dorms for the night."

Barbara

"Oh no, [name]! You look terrible! Is it your parents again? Oh dear... You should get some rest, I really care about you, you know that right? Oh Barbatos, whatever will we do? Your parentsare going to kill you if this keeps up! I have some blankets, erm, neck pillows and oh-! I have all the ingredients we need for baking cookies? Would you like to bake with me?

Kuki

"Hey... I know how you feel. My parents were really toxic too, especially my mom. But, I believe in you. Things will get better one way or another: even if it's not them being more accepting. Maybe... it'll be us getting even closer together... BUT that's just a suggestion, heh..."

Diluc

"Maybe we need to get you away from your parents for a while... Elzer, prepare a room for [name] please. They look like they need a good night's sleep. Hush dear, it's going to be alright. They can't hurt you anymore. They wouldn't dare hurt you anymore. You're here with me, and Elzer, and Adeline."

Kaeya

"Oh, don't seem to be yourself today, hm? That's okay, everyone has their bad days. Even I do, believe it or not. Well, my beautiful significant other, I'm here with you, you're what's keeping me sane. Smile, it looks better on you."

Lisa

"Cutie! You scared me, oh no don't cry! Please, tell me. Mhm? Your parents. Ah. Darling you know how angry I get when people don't return a book, right? Well, I can be even more fierce than that. The Witch of the Purple Rose does not take those who mess with her darling lightly. "

Nilou

"This society is messed up, the sages, your parents. They just don't seem to listen to us youths! They think we're young, that we're dumb! It makes me terribly sad :( It's okay, do you want a hug?"

Al-Haitham

You see, my guy doesn't say anything. He walks out and you don't see him for about an hour or so. On the contrary, you didn't come back home to your parents that day.

Parent Trap | Finn Balor Part 2

Summary: How about a part 2 of Gracie telling reader what Demon said about Becky being her real Mom. I need to know what the reader does.

Parent Trap Part 1

Finn Balor Masterlist

Requested by: @terrortwinunicorn

Taglist: @theworldofotps @smallestsnarkestgirl @miss-kuki-nz @new-zealand-chic @magicalbuttertarts

Y/N stormed to the door. She half expected it to be locked. To her surprise, the door opened when she twisted the doorknob. The Demon sat with his arms crossed. His bottom lip pouted. She swore she saw tears in his eyes. All the rage inside of her subsided.

"Are you.... crying?" The concerned woman asked. She didn't even know he could cry. The Demon had been a royal pain in the ass.

"No, I'm not some weak human," he sniffled. The Demon rolled over to his side to face the wall. His body twitched slightly to signal he was still crying. His arms moved to wipe away his tears.

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying. I just have something in my eyes,"

"Demon,"

"She doesn't want to play with me anymore, okay?" The Demon asked. He sat up in his bed and stared at her. More tears fell down his face. The poor thing had never looked so pathetic in her eyes.

Y/N's mouth dropped open in shock. "Demon, she loves you,"

"She is growing up and forgetting about me. Grace used to play with me like that. Now she is always going over to friend's houses or having them here. I.... I miss when it was just her and I," he confessed. His light eyes stared at his hands.

"Demon," Y/N sighed and sat on his bed. He backed away from her. His legs pulled to his chest. Well, at least he still detested her. That would never change. "Why don't the two of you do something fun tonight? We can get your favorites and build a fort in the living room,"

The Demon perked up slightly. "Really?"

"Yes, Finn went to take her out to calm her down after what you did. We can start working on it now," she offered.

The Demon scrunched his face. "I don't need help from a human,"

"Great," she sighed and stood up from the bed. "You know if you are ever sad, you can talk to Finn or I. We can help you,"

"Why would I ever want to ask humans for help?"

Y/N bit back a remark and walked out of the room. She texted Finn about the situation at the house. Her husband decided to buy some treats to help with the slumber party. The Demon was hard at work in the living room. Black blankets in different shapes and sizes filled the room. Different sized pillows were laid out for them to enjoy.

The Demon was finished with his fort in no time. He added all of Grace's favorite things inside. A sign hung up in the entrance read No Humans Grace OK. After he was done with the finishing touches, he supervised Y/N and her cooking.

"She doesn't like the crusts on her peanut butter and jelly," he pointed out.

"Yes, Demon, I know," Y/N spoke.

"And make sure you don't burn the pizza rolls this time. Finn hasn't had time to buy another fire extinguisher," The Demon reminded. Y/N swallowed another insult. He eyed the platter next to him. It had some of their favorites: cheese sticks, pretzels, and ... carrots. His face scrunched at the healthy snack. "Carrots? Who is eating that? It's disgusting,"

"They are there so I can sharpen a side and stab you," she muttered under breath.

The Demon seemingly didn't hear her. "Well, I am going to get ready. Try to not burn the apartment down,"

The Demon left to put on his pajamas. The front door to the apartment opened. Grace came in carrying a box of Capri Sun. Finn carried a couple of bags inside.

"You doing better, sweetheart?" Y/N asked. She noticed some chocolate syrup on the side of her mouth. Finn must have taken her to the ice cream shop after the park.

"What Demon did was mean," she pouted and crossed her arms.

"Yes, Gracie, but he loves you," Y/N reminded. The Demon came out seconds later. "And I think he has something he wants to show you,"

Grace slowly walked towards the Demon. As soon as she saw the fort, her eyes lit up. "Really?"

She ran inside the fort. The doll house was in there along with her tea table set. Grace ran out with a huge smile on her face. She ran and gave him a big hug. "I love it, Demon!"

Y/N swore she saw more tears in his eyes. He blinked them back quickly and cleared his throat. "Go get changed so we can play,"

While Grace was in her room, Finn and Y/N rushed to get everything ready for the slumber party. They placed the food on the tea table for them to snack on. Grace walked out of her room with three of her favorite stuffed animals in tow. She walked inside the entrance to check out more of the inside of the fort.

"Wow, carrots? I love them. Thanks, Mommy!" Grace complimented.

"Yeah, those are my favorite too," the Demon commented.

Finn and Y/N found themselves inside their bedroom. They tried to minimize leaving the room to avoid disturbing the Demon and Grace. At around midnight, the noises in the living room turned to soft snores. Finn and Y/N walked out to investigate.

Inside the fort, Grace was snuggled into the Demon. Her head rested comfortably on his chest. One of the Demon's arms wrapped securely around her body. In the Demon's other hand clutched a picture that Grace drew of them together.

Title

ehehehe first fic im writing after what feels like a year or two or a billion. But im actually feeling it rn so im gonna give it a shot. AND PLS FORGIVE ME FOR BAD WRITING IM SO RUSTY RIGHT NOW IM TRYINT TO GET THR HANG OF IT

So a few headcanons I used for this fic before we get into it:

Whenever the Arataki gang is in jail for some stupid as ever thing, Shinobu gets a bit antsy after a while cause she’s the type of person to always need something to do. Not doing anything makes her a bit anxious

Heizou is very good at reading people’s emotions but that’s probably canon enough

Shinobu knows a way to make a functioning bracelet out of like 4 naku weed stems somehow

So um aha no idea how to format so I’ll try my best

And also a warning for some swear words, I also hc Shinobu swears at her ler while getting wrecked

Lee: Kuki Shinobu

Ler: Shikanoin Heizou

————————————————————————

God the day Heizou had today was surely a good one.

He returned to the police station after a day of substantial progress on his investigation into a new case to hear what sounded like a chorus of angels (and a few devils) breaking out in song.

Heizou’s immediate thought was “What in Celestia is going on”, as would anyone else think if they were in his current predicament.

He figured out pretty quickly that the culprits for this outcry of song were none other than the one and only Arataki Itto and his buddies, Mamoru, Genta, and Akira. Having been arrested for “disturbing the peace” (having a whole karaoke session right in front of komore tea house and actively inviting any passerby to join them), they decided to take their…passion, for karaoke to their prison cells and somehow managed to get some of the other inmates to sing along.

It was pretty hilarious, to say the least. It took almost all of Heizou’s willpower to not to burst out laughing as his fellow officers attempted to get the situation under control.

“I’ve got to tell Shinobu about this”

So now here he was, walking through hanamizaka, looking for the places Shinobu can commonly be found. Something was off though…

She’s not here.

“That’s troubling…” Heizou thought. “Where could she be, if not here? Definitely not any shrines, maybe at a shop? Or perhaps the by the sea!”

Heizou began to walk in the direction of the shore. It wasn’t the most logical place to look next, but something was telling him he’d get lucky there.

“Hey, Shinobu!”

He called out to the green haired girl sitting in front of the sea next to a maroon drawstring bag. She held her mask to her face, but lowered it once she saw who called out to her.

“Oh, hey.”

“My intuition told me I might find you here. I’ve got to tell you about what happened today at the-…hey are you okay?”

Heizou paused mid sentence after taking a closer look at Shinobu. She was making bracelets out of naku weed and sango pearls, but something was wrong. Her back was unusually straight, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her movements on the bracelet were sharper than needed, and she was switching sitting positions in the sand like twice a minute. She seemed…bored. Restless. Anxious.

“Yeah, I’m fine, why?”

“I’m here to talk if you need. Somethings wrong.” Heizou said, sitting down next to her.

Shinobu sighed and looked back down at the bracelet she had just finished making.

“Nothing crazy serious, I guess I’ve just been bored. I’ve done all I needed to do today, but the idea of doing nothing is just uncomfortable…It’s weird. I’m always cleaning up after the gang’s messes, but now..”

“You don’t know what to do now since there aren’t any messes to clean.” He finished for her.

“Yeah, pretty much. Gotta keep myself busy.”

“I take it that’s why you’re making bracelets by the sea?”

“I’ve got nothing better to do, so yeah. Just a hobby to pass the time.”

“They’re beautiful.”

Shinobu smiled. She looked back up at Heizou to find him marveling at the one currently in her hand. Little sango pearls were intertwined in a wreath of naku weeds. She’d been wanting to make bracelets with them ever since she picked some up during Boss’s rock and roll event at watatsumi island.

“You want one?”

“Only if there are extras.”

She opened the bag next to her to reveal she had made quite the supply of bracelets already.

“Woah…you’ve been here a while, I see.”

“Heh, yeah. By the sea is a nice place to be.”

“That rhymed.”

“Thank you.”

They sat in silence for a little longer, admiring the coming sunset before Heizou spoke up again.

“I also noticed you aren’t wearing your mask at the moment.”

“I felt like breathing the air by the ocean a little better. It helps when you need calming down. And I don’t have to keep the mask on if it’s just you here, you know who I am.”

“I guess that’s true. Still, it’s not often I get to see you without it.”

“Enjoy it while it lasts.” Shinobu said, already almost done with her next bracelet. “This one is gonna be yours.”

“Ooh, really? It’s an honor to watch the craftsman work.” He said peering excitedly at his future bracelet in-the-making.

She finished up quickly and handed it to him.

“I added an extra sango pearl, cause you’re one of my best friends.”

“Awww, really? That means so much, Shinobu, thank you.” Heizou said, his expression softening greatly. He looked like this emoji 🥺.

“Y-yeah..” Shinobu mumbled, averting her eyes.

“Aww, are you blushing?” He teased, moving a little closer to get a better look.

“No! And stop awwing at me!” She hid her face, preventing him from getting that better look.

Heizou pouted. “Shinobu come onnn, I never get to see your face! Especially not your blushing one, you can’t deny me this opportunity.”

“Shut up. You’ve seen me blush before anyway…”

“But not without the mask! Pleaseee?”

“I would rather plunge in the sea in front of us.”

Yeah, she won’t budge. Heizou has to use his secret weapon now.

From where he was sitting next to her, he wrapped his arms around her in a hug and looked up at her with puppy eyes.

“Pleaseeee?”

“H-hey! Careful! I’m not even gonna look at you.” She said, flinching first at the sudden contact but still keeping her face hidden with her hands and knees.

“Hm, “careful”, you say?”

The silence was loud. She couldn’t see his face, but she knew exactly what expression he had on.

“Wipe that smirk off your face off your face, and don’t even think about it.”

Heizou giggled mischievously. One because he did in fact have a smirk on his face, and two because he now had a new idea. An idea to get her to finally show her face, and you know, maybe help her feel a little better.

“Careful? Careful with what?” He said, lightly tapping at her sides. Nothing unbearable, but still getting a reaction.

“Heizou, noho! I’ll kill you! Don’t even try!”

“Threatening a detective with murder now, huh? I thought we were best friends, Shinobu.” He said sarcastically, glancing at his new bracelet on his wrist.

Shinobu tried desperately to squirm out of his hold. It was over for her if he went through with this, she’ll never hear the end of it.

“I personally can’t believe I didn’t think of how ticklish you can be earlier!”

“Heizou I swehehear…”

“Oh, this is good for me. Now I’ll get to see your blushing face and your laughing face without the mask at the same time!” Heizou said, picking up the pace and now scribbling his fingers at her sides.”

“Noho you wohohohont! Heheizohou!!” She giggled, her hands instinctively grabbing his wrists. However, unfortunately, due to his place behind her, she had much less leverage and it was quite futile.

“You’re suhuhuch a piehece of shihihit! AHAha-!! Asshohole!” At her remark he gave her a quick tase to the side, clearly elevating her reaction.

“Now that’s no way to talk to one of your best friends.”

“Shhuhut the fuck uhuhup!! You’re nohohot my behehest friehehend, dickhead!” She retorted, squirming in any way she could to not show him her face in this state.

“Really? I guess that extra pearl was a mistake then…I’m hurt Shinobu, really.” Heizou said, not hurt at all. He knows she doesn’t mean it at all, hell he’ll yell similar things when he’s on the receiving end too. That still doesn’t mean he’ll have mercy just yet, however. He moved one hand up by her ribs, the other hand down by her stomach, and dug in. Not too much pressure, but just enough.

“HeheHEHEY!!” Shinobu laughed. Now he was currently attacking two of her bad spots at the same time, and she knew that he damn well knew what he was doing too.

“HEIZOHOUU!”

“Shinobuuu!”

She continued to giggle brightly, not caring about hiding her face anymore and instead kicking her legs and thrashing around (adorably by the way) and doing whatever she could to escape.

Since hiding her face was no longer Shinobu’s top priority, Heizou had no problem finally seeing her laughing/blushing face without a mask.

“Aww, I see you now~” He teased, grinning down at her wide smile. He began to slow down, having got what he wanted and not wanting her revenge to be too devastating.

“Ahahrehe you happy?”

“Very happy.”

“Greheheat, you can stohohop.”

Taking her for her word that she’s had enough, he finally stopped his attack on her midsection and let her breathe as she slumped on his shoulder.

“Asshole.”

“You know it was fun.”

“You’re still an asshole.”

“Come on, look how relaxed you are now. Much better than how I found you earlier. Oh right, speaking of, I was gonna tell you-“

“Apapap, wait one second.” Shinobu interrupted. “I just want you to know I’ll get you back for your cruelty today, when you least expect it. Could be in a few seconds, could be in a few days. Your intuition won’t be able to save you, detective.”

It was Heizou’s turn to be nervous. Maybe not nervous, actually, more like excited. Anticipation always made things more fun! Not that he’d admit it in this moment.

“Mmmm…o-okay…” He shrank in on himself while Shinobu sat next to him, her eyes hungry to see him in her same position. It always amazed him how easily she could bounce back from getting tickle attacked.

“A-anyway, the four of them in their cells-“ He continued, making the most of the time he has left before his inevitable doom.

Heizou shared the story of how the gang managed to get fellow inmates singing along with them in prison, and they discussed various Arataki gang stories until the sun set.

And yes, Shinobu did eventually get him back.

Just Dance and Romance (Arataki Itto x gn!reader) (pt. 1)

4:46 pm

The day’s classes are over for you and Itto. You’re currently sitting with him and Kuki Shinobu at the cafeteria. She has her laptop open, working on an assignment. You’ve been loudly chatting with Itto about all sorts of stupid things, since neither of you have anything better to do. You suggest, “Hey, I’ve been thinking… we should totally go to my house and have a sleepover. Plus, I’ve been meaning to try out a Just Dance game with someone~”

“OH! Hey, that’s the best idea ever! I am so gonna beat your score, just you watch. They don’t call me Arataki ‘dance master’ Itto for nothing!” You roll his eyes at the new nickname. Itto being Itto, as always.

“Never heard that one before,” you reply. He makes an exaggerated incredulous face.

“What do you mean, you never heard that one before? Don’t you know about my super awesome and amazing dance skills?” he says.

“I’ve never even seen you dance before.”

“Well, you would’ve if you ever came to any of my frat parties!”

“Please.” you cross your arms. “I’m never going into one of those hell holes, like ever.” Shinobu was having trouble focusing.

“Can you two please pipe it down..?” She stretches in her chair. “I actually have work to do, unlike you two.” You and Itto share a look.

“Sorry, Shinobu…” you say.

“Yeah, sorry! You’re so cool for being so hardworking! I could never do all that”, Itto vaguely gestures at the screen. You felt kinda bad for interrupting her studying. Being a law student wasn’t easy, after all.

“Just.. go talk elsewhere. Please. We can hang out, but later .” she says, massaging her temples.

Itto just stares at her, loudly slurping his boba drink. Out of pity for the law student, you decide to drag him to the store to buy supplies for the sleepover. If you didn’t, this man would simply never shut up.

5:28 pm

“Okay, what do we need for a sleepover? Snacks, obviously… but what else?” you are lost in your thoughts. Itto calls out your name and you turn towards him. He’s holding up a cat plush with a weird, stretched out face. With a stupid grin, he says that it looks like you. Jesus… You have half a mind to just throw a bag of chips at him. “No, you” is the best comeback you can come up with. It’s okay though, it is very effective against Itto specifically.

“Heeeey, I do NOT look like that! My face is too handsome. Cmon, have you even looked at my handsome face? It’s nothing like this… weird, alien cat’s face!” Itto comes closer and makes the stupidest face you’ve ever seen. He’s grinning, eyebrows raised and eyelids half closed.

“Wow. Yeah, you really do look like that plush.” you answer. Itto’s jaw drops, taken aback. He was… slightly hurt that you didn’t think he was handsome. Of course, he could never let you know that. Ultimately, you picked out some popcorn, Doritos and Mountain Dew. Itto got ice cream bars and beef jerky.

5:59 pm

Arrived at your home already, a place Itto’s been to many, many times. You have been best friends for so long now. Your parents have gotten used to him bursting in like he lives here. But not tonight, no, they’re away on vacation. You’re slightly jealous of them being in the sun while you have to toil away to get to campus in the cold. “All right! Just Dance time!” Itto loudly announces after setting the ice cream in the fridge.

“What..? We just got here. Don’t you wanna do something else first?”

“Nope! Just Dance time! I said I was gonna beat you, and I’m a man of my word.” He pounded on his chest with his fist.  “Arataki ‘dance master’ Itto will show you who’s the real boss here.” You scoffed.

“You think I’m gonna let you beat me at Just Dance? Right here, in my own domain? Hah! Not. A. Chance!” you cross your arms.

Itto’s already diving for the Wii remote. You scrambled to get the 1P remote. No way you’d let him have the 1P remote. This was your turf! You successfully grab the remote, which was hidden underneath some blankets. Itto turns the console on, and you start the game. You’ve had this console for a long time now, and you know it’s outdated. But you could never get rid of it. Too many precious memories were made on it. A lot of those memories had Itto in them. You mostly had competitive games, so it made sense. Having no siblings to play them with, he was all too happy to play against you all the time. He absolutely had to be the best at every single game you had. You were honestly impressed at how much time he spent in your house just trying to get better than you. Little do you know, there was perhaps another reason why Itto came over so often.

Just Dance 2014 was booted up, and he was practically jumping in excitement. You could swear you saw stars in his eyes. Remote in hand, you set the ground rules. “All right. So, we each pick out two songs, and best two out of three wins! Got it?” you yell out. Itto aggressively nods and holds out his thumb.

“I get the home advantage, so I’m picking first!” you say. Itto has no oppositions. This had become a habit with the two of you, with how often you came over at each other’s place. You quickly pick out one of your favourite songs, Starships . The choreography was super girly, and you knew that. You are an evil gremlin and wanted to see Itto dancing ridiculously. Surprisingly, Itto just looked super serious the whole time. It was quite a sight seeing a bulky, 6’8 guy dancing to Starships with an extremely focused expression. He seemed dead-set on beating you, but you weren’t going down that easy.

After the song was over, you were anxiously watching the score meter to see who won. The bars are going up, up, up… until Itto’s stopped and yours kept going up! He dropped to his knees and yelled out, “NOOOO! How?! How could this be?”

“HAH! Told you I’d win!” you say, almost out of breath.

“This… isn’t over yet. I’m going to beat you, just you watch!” he spat back, unable to accept his loss. Itto swiftly moves closer and grabs your remote, still attached to your wrist. You couldn’t help but blush, just a little. There really isn’t much space between the two of you. Plus, his hand totally dwarfs the remote, which seemed normal-sized in yours. You kind of forget just how big he is sometimes. “There!” his voice pulls you out of your stupor. He moves away. For a split-second, you felt slightly disappointed. Wait, disappointed? No, no, it was nothing. Shake it off. You didn’t feel anything . You were so distracted you didn’t even notice the song was about to start. What song did he even..? Wait, Moskau ?

“Heeeey, come on, pick the character so we can start already!” Itto was getting impatient. You scrambled to click on the girl character since he already took the guy. The dance started out relatively normally. It was a bit silly, and you couldn’t really manage too many of the russian dance moves. Weirdly… Itto was executing each one perfectly. You were impressed, but also a little suspicious. Did he… practice for this? Nah, that’s not possible. You only bought the game yesterday and didn’t tell him about it till earlier today. He then did something you could never have anticipated. As the girl on the screen was picked up and spun around by the guy, Itto did the same to you. With no warning, he grabbed you by the waist and lifted you in the air, spinning around. You yelped out of surprise but held on tight. You barely even had to anyway, with how steady his grip was. Your heart was beating so fast, the result of a combination of dancing and whatever it was that just happened. Before you even know it, Itto puts you back down and continues dancing like nothing happened. You stare at him, struggling to catch up to him. By the end of the song, you could barely move anymore. Itto seemed just fine, though. I guess that’s what you get for being less active than him… “Hey… Hey, what the hell was that? Why’d you lift me up like that?” you say in between gasps for air.

“Huh? Because… because of the dance, obviously! I’m not a chicken! I’m gonna follow exactly what the dancers are doing. No slacking! There really isn’t any excuse!” Itto replies, a little too fast. You didn’t buy it. Something was fishy here. Unsurprisingly, the screen showed that Itto had won. “WOO! Got my revenge, finally! Hahahaa, haha!” he guffaws.

“Gloat all you want, buddy. There’s still one last song.” You chose the final song, and danced like your life depended on it. Unfortunately for you, so did Itto. As the song ended, you ran to get a glass of water, the thirst being unbearable. While you were drinking, the game announced the winner… Itto! “HAAAH! I won! I totally won! You see that?!” he points at the screen. “That-- is the sign of a true dance master.”

“I can’t… I can’t believe it… Haah… I’m dying over here.” you say, truly out of breath. You collapse on your couch. Itto collapses next to you. “Well? Will you admit it? Will you admit that I, Arataki Itto, am the real, numero uno dance master?”

“Okay, okay, fine! You’re the dance master!” you roll your eyes and playfully punch his chest. “Ah, ew! You’re so sweaty! Go take a shower!”

“Ugh, no way! You go take a shower!” he lightly shoves you. Chaos ensues as the both of you play-wrestle over who should shower first. Wild laughs reverberated through the living room. You had the illusion that you actually had a fair chance of taking him over, but you really didn't. Itto was being very generous by holding back all of his strength. At some point, you manage to grab his wrists and topple him over, getting him underneath you. “Hah! I win!” you exclaim.

…

…Ah, this position…

Itto was just staring at you with a blank expression.

It took you embarrassingly long to realize just how awkward this had gotten. Back when you were kids, it was fine. You always wrestled like this, not thinking too much of it. But now… the both of you are grown-up. What was once an innocent game now felt so very… different. You could feel his muscles a little too much under your thighs. His wrists felt too big. His stare… You finally couldn’t take any more and got off. “Uh– well, then. I’m gonna take a shower first, I guess. Bye.” you say, practically running away from the couch.

Itto didn’t miss the blush that had crept up on your face. He just looked at you leaving, amused.

What was he gonna do with you..? “So adorable.” he said under his breath, slowly shaking his head.

[risustravelogue]

warning: analysis with spoilers/theory confirmations utc. proceed only when ready.

04. revelations, deductions, and trials

Knock, knock, knock.

“Risu? … It’s me, Itto,” came a voice from outside.

Silence.

“... I’m coming in, okay?”

The sliding door opened. A tiny bit of morning sunlight seeped into the guest room, revealing Kurisu, curled up into a ball under her blanket in bed. Her body shook with every small sob she made.

Itto’s heart clenched at the pitiful sight. He walked to the bed and sat beside her, his hand reaching to pat her head.

“Why don’t I remember receiving the Vision?” she asked with a trembling voice. “What happened to me? Why can’t I remember anything?”

“I’m sorry, Risu. I don’t know either.”

Kurisu curled further up. Itto sighed.

Knock, knock. Shinobu walked into the room.

“Hey,” she greeted. “Up for a talk?”

“Depends,” Kurisu mumbled.

Shinobu took off her mask and set it down on the bedside table.

“Listen. Two nights ago I had a talk with a… concerned stranger, is how I can describe them best. Would you like to hear the summary of our discussion?”

Slowly, Kurisu sat up in bed. She inhaled, exhaled, and shook her head.

“Tell me. I want to know.”

Shinobu told Kurisu and Itto about her suspicions and her conversation with the stranger. Kurisu listened intently, and by the end of the story, she had a concerned, but determined expression on her face.

“Thank you, Kuki,” she started. “First of all, the age thing. I believe I never asked you about today’s date. So what date is it today?”

“It’s January 25, 2024 according to the common calendar,” Shinobu answered.

“Shit,” Kurisu hissed. “I thought it was still 2014.”

She inhaled, then exhaled.

“Okay. Calm down, Risu. Second. When you found me, was I wearing the Akademiya uniform?”

Shinobu shook her head.

“Alright,” Kurisu continued. “If ten years have passed and I wasn’t wearing the Akademiya uniform when you found me, that must mean I’ve graduated already.”

Shinobu couldn’t help but smile. Gone was the timid girl she’s known Kurisu as thus far. And, for her, this confidence fits the apparently older woman so much better.

“My last question: Where exactly are we?”

“Higi Village, Yashiori Island,” Itto chimed.

“I see,” Kurisu mused. “As far as my geography knowledge of Inazuma goes, there are no large settlements or tourist attractions on Yashiori Island. Is that correct?”

Both Itto and Shinobu nodded.

“Okay. So it’s very unlikely that I ended up here on vacation, since I wouldn’t have gone here except for research. And since I studied programming and mechanical engineering in the Akademiya, is it possible that I was researching the Maguu Kenki, then got knocked out?”

Itto let out an “Ehh,” but Shinobu said, “No.”

Kurisu frowned. “Why not?”

“Because someone took your belongings away, including your Vision,” she said. “The Maguu Kenki does not loot its challengers. You must’ve encountered someone else,” Shinobu said.

“Makes sense,” Kurisu nodded.

Itto shook his head. “I don’t get what you two are saying, honestly.”

Shinobu rolled her eyes. “Ignore Boss. The next question is…”

“Who did I encounter?”

An uneasy silence went on for a while before a small voice chimed.

“I can help you with that.”

The trio turned to the voice’s owner—a yawning little girl wearing tanuki-like attire, her maroon eyes droopy with sleepiness.

“Sayu?!”

[hematomes]

Okay, so I need some help... I'm trying to learn how comp works (you know how it be lmao) and I wanna know if I'm correct in what I'm getting at with Haith.

So, using his E makes his attacks Dendro based as long as he has one little mirror. It mentions that this "cannot be overridden" so Benny has merit as a support even at C6. This Dendro damage will scale with EM, so I need to focus on that for Haith, along with the typical. Since his E turns his attacks Dendro, I should also probably focus a bit on ER so I can use it more often? Or is that CD? Also with the typical Crits. Using HoD, I should probably keep Zhongli on here (does his RES shred help with using Haith's attacks as Dendro?). I don't think I can utilize him in a Burgeon or Hyperbloom team since his Dendro mirrors disappear if he's off field. I could potentially use him as the general DPS of a Hyperbloom if I replace my Zhongli with Kokomi and keep Dendro Traveler and Fischl (or switch Fischl for Shinobu).

This comp stuff is hard how do you do it??

HIII i got so excited yesterday bc it's been a while since i talked in-depth abt theorycrafting and im so pumped you're not only looking into it but turning to me for help AVSJZB

anyway let's get into it!!!! just note that since i don't have al-haitham and never intended to pull for him, most of what i know is from some guides i read just now so idk if it'll be 100% accurate

"Benny has merit as a support even at c6" while it's technically true bc as you said al-haitham's infusion cannot be overridden, i would avoid using bennett in most dendro comps (except burgeon, but even then thoma is a better option). burning is a weird reaction zbdjzj but that's mostly personal feelings

"Since his E turns his attacks dendro, I should probably focus a bit on ER" nope!! well, you should still get a little er% for him, but it's unrelated to his elemental skill/E. energy recharge is only for the elemental burst/Q, the E is what allows you to get particles to recharge said Q. like you said, E is only "impacted" by the cooldown/CD and you can't really change that (except with sac sword and anemo resonance but that won't be a thing with al-haitham)

zhongli's shield resistance shred does work! it works on every enemy as far as i know, and with every known element

SO from what ive seen, al-haitham's best teams are hyperbloom, which isn't surprising bc this reaction is honestly cracked. like you mentioned, kuki/kokomi/dmc is probably your best shot at it, and al-haitham is a great enabler so on-field with his dendro normal attacks to apply dendro!!! while the rest apply their elements off-field

however he also works in more classic spread team (im assuming zhongli/fischl/dmc, which is ironically my cyno team). but burgeon is actually also an option, with thoma and kokomi for example!! any bloom-based reaction is good with him

the only thing you need to keep in mind is, depending on the team, you'll need different stats. hyperbloom, bloom and burgeon rely entirely on elemental mastery and al-haitham will be the trigger so that means em/em/em build, while spread dps will need em/dendro/crit build. crit is still good in bloom-based teams bc he still needs to do dmg with his normal attacks etc, but you'll look for it with the weapon & the substats rather than main stats!!!

FINALLY yes the team comp stuff is rly hard and it took me several months to get by, but it's really worth it bc now i can 36* the abyss more or less easily AND i can help other ppl do the same with their roster, even if i don't have the same characters. plus i can infodump abt theorycrafting and team building and artifact farming and that gives me sm serotonin i think it's pathological at this point

[journeyofthemoonprophet]

Yawa insists on keeping her eye on you, at least for the next week, maybe a little longer. She says it’s in case your wounds get infected, or prove slower to close than she expects. You did fall from the heavens and outrun demons, after all.

“Healing takes time,” she insists, pushing back your collar to check the dressings on your shoulder. “You’re already doing well, but it won’t do you any good to leave before you’re ready.”

You don’t know how to tell her that it may take longer than a week for anything else to heal. If those parts of you ever will at all.

.

It turns out your actual clothes are with Yawa’s apprentice, who is in fact the ‘Kuki’ that Akemi is friends with. She’s an odd sort, glancing away even at the barest hint of eye contact, and usually whispering in someone’s ear when she speaks. Perhaps that’s why it catches you off guard when she addresses you directly.

“I’m working on something for you,” she says, staring firmly off to the side instead of anywhere near your face. “But if you try to peek at it before I’m done, I won’t give it to you, or give you your clothes back.”

Well, that’s... a warning. For a moment you’re not even sure how to respond. “Uh... okay?” Kuki seems satisfied enough, and disappears up the ladder once more. You look to Yawa, hoping she can explain what the hell just happened.

“Bah,” she huffs, “Kuki hates people watching her work. Especially when she’s sewing.” You can’t see her mouth, but you can hear the wicked grin in her voice. “Though if I were you, I’d heed her warning well. Unless you want to run around in borrowed clothes for the rest of your life.”

.

Your dreams are still haunted, both by ghosts and the monsters who slaughtered them. There’s a night in particular where you wake up with the phantom feeling of icy hands on your throat, desperate crying and demonic cackling ringing in your ears. This time, you’re alone, and the upstairs remains still and silent.

You take Pillow Talk up in one hand and carefully push yourself to your feet. (Slowly; you really don’t want to get caught because you fell flat on your face). You’re careful not to alert the others as you slip into a nearby pair of boots and take one of the blankets with you out the door. The cold bites through you even under the blanket, but the wind is still and the sky is clear. Good enough.

You don’t exactly know where you’re going, but thankfully you don’t have to wander too far before you find a place that feels enough out of the way. You know the patrol will likely catch you again, especially with what you’re about to do, but hopefully you’ll at least get a few minutes to yourself.

The moon above is bright, gleaming in a pale gold shape over the cliff and down onto the snow. It makes you incredibly homesick.

You lift Pillow Talk to your lips, and the first quiet notes cut across the chilly air. You play with no particular melody in mind and just let the music carry you from one note to the next, spinning a lonely tune of deep loss and deeper regret.

.

The next morning, Yawa asks if you’re feeling up for a short walk. You know that she knows, but you figure it’s better to play along, and you pull yourself to your feet. Seeing as Kuki is still up in the loft, Yawa is bringing you along to market, tasking Akemi with keeping watch of the place while the two of you are gone.

“It’s just across the square from here, so it’ll be good exercise for both of us,” she insists, tossing you a pair of boots, “besides, fresh air does a healing man wonders.”

For an old woman her age and size, she’s surprisingly quick. You have to remind her more than once that you’re not only still sore, but not used to the snow and currently walking in boots a size too big. You figure you must look especially strange to the other villagers: golden haired and bare-faced, stumbling to keep up with a woman that looks four times your age. Yawa either doesn’t notice or care, merely talking with the merchants as if nothing is amiss and handing you more things with each conversation.

“Should I be wearing a mask?” you mutter to her at the menagerie of eyes upon you. She smacks your shoulder and cackles a laugh, and you start to wonder if you’ve made a joke or are the butt of it.

.

Akemi begs you to play something. She wants to know what the music of the gods is like, and you have to know how it goes, right? You remind her that you are but one man with a flute and not an ensemble of celestials, but she insists, even promising to teach you a few from the poncles in exchange. (You did, admittedly, try to get a hint at what Kuki is working on, but when Akemi asked if you had been threatened yet, you distracted her by getting her to sing one of the poncles’ nursery rhymes.)

You eventually relent (after shooing Akemi off of the end of your flute twice, lest you accidentally burst her tiny ears), and thankfully your muse is a lot easier to find than you feared. You keep yourself to some of the simpler melodies, as some of your favorites still feel just a bit too sacred to touch right now. Akemi sways happily from your knee, seemingly just pleased with the music.

At one point, you realize you’ve slipped into a tune from much further back in your memory. It’s an old working song, one you’ve heard your own mother hum to herself many times when you were very small. For a moment, you’re a bit paralyzed to be playing it, but then you hear Yawa quietly humming to herself, and somewhere upstairs a foot tapping in time.

.

The nightmares seem here to stay, and every time you break loose you find yourself unable to fall back asleep. Just your due, you suppose, given how many ghosts have been made at your hands. At some point, though, you find that while you still wake up exhausted and shaky, you’ve started opening your eyes to the sunlight.

36. Baking therapy on a budget Ft. Genshin Characters: Kuki- Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello, every birdy. Today we are making a recipe that mostly everyone is familiar with, and going along with the recipe is a meme. The character themselves is not a meme, but their name is often associated with the recipe. 

Shinobu Kuki (Shin-o-boo Cookie) is the deputy leader of the Arratiki Gang. She is an Inazuman character. She was once a shrine maiden, with her sister being a shrine maiden to this day. However, she knew that was not the right path for her and she found that Itto’s Gang was looking for members and she became apart of the Arrattiki gang. 

Honestly, for chocolate chip cookies is there any other recipe that people use besides the Nestle Tollhouse recipe? “Yes, Robby there are thousands of other chocolate chip cookie recipes, and yes some of them are 1000 times better than the Nestle tollhouse recipe.” Well to that I say. Okay. But, for me, this recipe is a staple recipe. 

This was one of the first recipes that I made for my family and I would get sad when it didn’t work, or my cookies were flat. And I would just study this recipe and figure out where I went wrong. What I needed to do next time, so that I could have the almost perfect cookies every time. 

And the number 1 thing that I figured out was that I did in fact need to have my eggs and my butter/margarine at room temperature. Even if you are using spread versions of either of these, you still need to have it sit out for about 30 minutes. To make sure that it is at room temperature. 

The link to recipe and the measurements will be down below. Feel free to check it out for yourselves. 

The ingredients you will need for this recipe are:

All purpose flour

Baking soda

Salt

Butter

Granulated sugar

Brown sugar

Vanilla extract

2 large eggs

Chocolate chips

Optional nuts

You will want to preheat your oven to 375F. 

In a small bowl combine your dry ingredients. This includes your flour, baking soda, and salt. 

In a stand mixer bowl or a larger bowl, you are going to beat together your butter and both the brown and granulated sugar with the vanilla extract. Do this until the mixture is creamy. You want it to be light and fluffy. It will take about 4-5 minutes to get the consistency that you want. 

Gradually add in your flour mixture. Don’t do it all at one time, or you will get flour back at you. And nobody likes flour in their face, or their lungs. 

Stir in both the chocolate chips and the nuts. 

Okay, so the recipe says to drop the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. And I understand why they say to do this, so that the sugar on doesn’t crystalize. I understand stand it, however I like using parchment paper for all of my cookies, except my spritz cookies. I do this because I have had moments with chocoalte chip cookies where they just got stuck to the cookie sheet. It was not fun trying to get them off. 

Once you have your cookies on the cookie sheets, you are going to be baking them for 9 to 11 minutes. I usually have one batch of cookies that I bake for 9 minutes to make them cooked with dough. And then there are other batches where I bake them for closer to 11 minutes. The reason behind this: Dad likes cookies that have carmalized, not characolized, on the bottom. While my sister likes them on the doughy side. So I try to please everyone. 

You will want to cool them on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. 

I love this recipe. It is honestly such a good recipe. So simple and once you get the hang of it, you will be baking really good chocolate chip cookies. I don’t like saying that you will be making perfect cookies all the time, because there are probably elements that you don’t know about. And those elements may make the cookie imperfect. But as my mom always tells me “ Don’t worry about what it looks like, if it is edible we will eat it.”

I hope that you liked this recipe. Feel free to check it out down below. See you in the next recipe. Thank you.

Eyes Open When He's Sleeping (Arataki Itto x GN Visionless!Reader)

CW: none, just extreme fluff (and crack).

A/N: I laughed hard when I find out that Itto sleeps with his eyes open. I couldn't get enough from this lovable guy 😭

‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵

"Thanks for staying the night here, Itto. I can't believe we're about to spend the night for the first time as lovers!" Patting the soft mattress of the bed, you excitedly hugged your boyfriend's bare chest as he began to settle into your comfortable bed. "Ahh it's no big deal, your one and oni Itto was here to protect you against the terrors that could invade those sweet dreams of yours, sweetheart."

It's been weeks since the two of you had became an actual couple after months of pining each and having mutual feelings for each other. It's also funny that most of the members of the Arataki Gang are suffering from the inside as they witness the both of you to become oblivious to each other's feelings. There were times that their boss does the move first and there were times that it was you who did the move, in return, they just scratched their heads when the two of you are absolute clueless to the other's motive.

After a handful help from Kuki herself, you and Itto confessed each other's feelings and agreed for him to court you, just like what your kind does when a human wanted to pursue the one they loved. As months passed by and when the time came for him to hear that sweet yes for him to be your boyfriend, the oni stood up in triumph, held your waist and lifts you up. Itto asked you again if you were his, just to be sure that he isn't dreaming. You draw your fave closer to his and began to nuzzling his nose.

That sweet and adoring gesture is what convinces him that this was actually happening in real time, not in a dream.

In the present time, you convinced Itto to have a sleepover in your home. At first, he was hesitant. He kept on repeating the same question over and over again, which you answered the said question again and again.

"Babycakes, are you sure? What if I take too much space on your bed? What if you fell off the side of the bed?"

"Itto sweetie, it's okay. My bed is quite big so no worries, babe."

The oni even offered to sleep on your couch, in which you even denied since you wanted him to have a comfortable and safe place for him to have some rest. And here you are, cuddling to his bare chest (which you absolutely loved in his appearance) as he pressed a kiss on your head. "You sure do love my chest, aren't ya babe?" You nodded in response, now moving your head on the nape of his neck and pressed a kiss there. He shivered slightly from the sudden affection but became relaxed as he felt the love from your affection alone.

"Hey hey babe, if I became a worm, will you still love me?" You stopped kissing his neck as your eyes stared at him with a questionable expression. "Now where did it came from?" You giggled as he sighed, placing an arm around you and pulling you closer to him. Making you to be on top of his chest and stared at those gorgeous crimson eyes you fell in love with. "Just some late night thoughts, cupcake. Will you?" A kiss from you is what you had an answer for him, which convinces him that even if he turns into a worm, you still loved him nonetheless.

As the lovers talk more and more throughout the night, a yawn was emitted from you as you felt your eyes finally droop down to get some late night rest. Itto saw this coming and puts you down to the soft mattress and placed the blanket on the both of you. He gave you a chaste kiss on your lips and muttered a soft 'good night, I love you'. The once energetic oni felt that sleep had finally catching up to him and now takes some sleep, contented that the human he fell in love with was on his side of the bed.

.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .

At around 3:00 in the morning, you've became awfully thirsty for some cold glass of water or perhaps you wanted some ice cold milk to make your sleep even better. You decided have some milk since the last time you drank that sweet drink was months ago.

More thoughts appeared out of nowhere, staring into the wall wether you should wake your boyfriend or not for some milk (you didn't bought soy milk out of respect for him) and walking around your house alone in the night wasn't on your list. In fact, you are used to have some company during the late hours of night and there are times that you refused to go downstairs out of paranoia that someone might ambush you.

You proceeded to wake him up, lifting off the pillow that covers up his face. Screams had erupted the entire house upon seeing the face your boyfriend makes; his eyes wide open as his mouth was slightly open and drool was sleeping out from the corners of his mouth. You kept on screaming and fell of the bed, que Itto waking up from the sudden noise and jumps off the bed, thinking that a burglary took place within your bedroom.

"Wha- what happened?! Is there a thief here?! I swear to the archons if they hurt my lover I'mma-" You breathed in a slow yet heavy pace, staring towards your boyfriend. Itto, on the other hand, saw you across the bed and came rushing towards you. He check on you to see if you have injuries but to his relief, there were none littered on your body. "Baby, are you okay? Do you have a nightmare? Your screams are quite scarier than a baby oni's heh." To his shock, you hit his arm slightly for scaring you.

"You slept with your eyes open, Itto and it made me so scared, I thought that you suffocated to death." The oni chuckled, carrying you to the bed and peppers your face with lots of kisses. "I'm so sorry for that. It's quite a little habit of mine, I didn't want you to know because it quite embarrassing.." You pouted to his response but your fear and paranoia began to subside, clinging to his side and asked him if he wanted to have some cold glass of milk.

"Sure thing cupcake, as long as there's no soy beans in it."

"I promise I didn't buy products that contains beans on it, only for my adorable and himbo boyfriend."

"You're truly the best, love."

Until the next sleepover, it looks like your lovable oni decided to buy a sleeping mask to prevent this scary experience from happening again.

Inazuma Round Up

Yanfei:You know there’s a reason why I put “I know your busy” in my letter, don’t you?

Aether:Hehe, I figured I should at least try. You tend to overthink and I didn’t want to give you the wrong idea.

Yanfei:*red* I…can’t argue that.

The legal adviser sighed, helping her wary boyfriend into his bed. This all started with a surprise visit at her office. Aether, in a state of exhaustion, had drifted off waiting for her return. Yanfei found him face first and unconscious in the cake he had prepared.

Aether:I’m sorry again.

Yanfei:Stop apologizing. Cakes can get replaced. Your health is important. Sweet dreams Aether.

Aether:But I’ve missed so many birthdays recently! *yawns* First years are…special. I still gotta…see…zzzz

Yanfei looked at his work corner. There was a small mound of gifts by his desk and a sheet of paper. On closer inspection it was a lift of names and items to give them. As well as their birthday letters. The fact there was more than three would’ve stressed her out. In his defense however, these birthdays were incredibly close, and not just in dates. In fact…

Yanfei:Hmm, Kuki’s on the list. I wonder…

xxxxx

[Inazuma precinct]

Sara:Okay, what’s the urgent situation that simply couldn’t wait yet not important enough to tell me-

Itto:Yo!

Sara:…What did you do this time?

Itto:Heh hey hey! I haven’t done anything! You don’t see me in a cell do you? That’s right, I’m here on mission and that mission is you.

Sara:Itto, I don’t have time for another challenge.

Itto:Why would- okay I know why you’d that but that ain’t it. My beloved savior from Liyue came to me asking for help and I’m here to lend a hand!

Sara:Your help, or Shinobu’s?

Itto:Both actually! Anyways, happy belated birthday.

He reveals a box behind her desk and opens it to show off an Amos bow. As well as cute little cupcake in another box.

Sara:….

Itto:The traveler wants to let you know he hasn’t forgotten about you or the sparring match; which by the way, hurt me to learn about. I mean I’m right here! Anyways, the gang also helped organize papers. Under supervision of course. As for Kuki, my savior has made me swear an oath to “be legally responsible” for the rest of the day and tomorrow.

Sara:Wow, you must be so bored.

Itto:Pfft, this is nothing! But hey ummm, anything fun to do? I may or may not be allowed to do beetle fights with the kids.

Sara:Heh, I don’t know about fun but if there’s no work around here, then I guess lunch is in order. Care to join me? I’ll pay of course.

Itto:Well well wel-

Sara:*red* I will let you starve.

Itto:I would love lunch.

Sara:Good. Just give me a minute. *holds a box* I had my own mission.

xxxxxx

Heizou:The general wanted to see me?

He looks around to see nobody, but there is a box on his desk with a letter from the general.

“Happy belated birthday. Aether wishes you good health and would like to apologize for not giving you this in person. Our mutual friend has been rather busy lately. I myself took liberty or paying for this particular gift. He knows you just met but was certain something practical is well within reason. I doubt he’ll be happy if he got his mora back so i trust you’ll find a way to give it to him without noticing. Keep up the good work. Please clock in on time.”

Heizou opened up the box and pulled out a Solar Pearl, all ready to go.

Heizou:Hmm *smiles* how bout that?

xxxxxx

Meanwhile at the Grand Narukami Shrine, Miko is having a wonderful time.

Miko:I like to believe I’m in the know about a great many things, but this…what did I do to see this again.

Kuki: *in a shrine garb* Happy belated birthday, Lady Gugi. I better not see any photos. Aether sends his wishes.

Miko:Aaah, and here I thought he couldn’t be bothered to make time for little me.

Kuki:*squints* You knew he was tired.

Miko:Of course! Pretty sure he got sick around my birthday. Even tempered blades need maintenance. It’s cute to think he thought I’d be bent out of shape. I’m a patient woman. Looks like it paid off.

Kuki:This is not your gift. *pulls out a small box* this is.

The shrine maiden’s ears flicker. The size immediately told her it was a book. Miko unwrapped it and with it was a letter from Aether himself.

“I’m no publisher or anything but I hope this manages to peek your interest. My honest attempt at a light novel. Enjoy and Happy Birthday.”

Miko:Ooo, this is a treat. Has a weight to it. No wonder he’s tired. Writing a novel, adventuring, and fighting gods, any mortal would need break. If this is my gift, then why the outfit that’s causing you visible embarrassment?

Kuki:I don’t do half measures. His birthday entailed praying and giving an offering to the Sacred Sakura on the Shogun’s birthday. I know the proper ceremony so I should honor it. Though it’s a bit of a unique way to celebrate. I didn’t even know her birthday.

Miko:(That child is a bigger softy than Ei.) *smiles* Correct me if I’m wrong, but your birthday just passed. I suppose it’s only right to pay good deeds forward. I’ll take care of ceremony. You can change.

Kuki:Oh thank goodness! *bows* Pleasure doing business with you, but I did also have a request. There’s a gift I know you’ll have an easier time delivering.

xxxx

Ei:*meditating*

Miko:*kicks open door* Hello~

Ei:Did knocking go out of style in the last 500 years?

Miko:Don’t be like that. And after I brought Aether’s wonderful gift of desserts from Mondstadt and Liyue.

Ei opens one eye to see Miko holding two boxes filled with new and sugary sweets unknown to the Archon. Ei stopped floating, sitting on the floor and patted the mat for Miko to come over and join.

Miko:I’m worried one day you’ll meet your end to a poison tart at this rate.

Ei:As if I’d go that easily? I’m surprised. I assumed Aether forgot.

Miko:Don’t tell me you were pouting all this time? Aww, waiting for a friend sure is hard isn’t it?

Ei:I don’t need this, I get it. Also I was not pouting. *bites doughnut* It just would’ve been nice to talk.

Miko:He’s been busy, but I’ve been told he plans to visit when he can.

Ei:I’m no stranger to waiting.

Miko:He also gave offerings to Makoto.

Ei:…

Miko:Twins don’t forget about other twins so simply. Aether keeps you in his prayers for sure.

Ei:Is that right? *smiles* Hmmm, it’s decided then. Miko, I shall have the finest blacksmiths make him a blade and armor for any situation.

Miko:Please just write him a heartfelt thank you letter.

Ei:How are messages sent these days? Are we still using the Kitsune?

Miko:*tired stare*….

Ei:*red* What!? Why would I know!? It’s a valid question!

xxxxx

Kuki:That’s everybody to my knowledge. Everyone else has already celebrated with him or because of him somehow.

Yanfei:I can’t thank you enough! No way I could’ve gotten to everyone.

Kuki:It’s nothing Senpai. I wouldn’t even be celebrating a birthday this year without the both of you. Tell Aether to get some rest. I’ll see him when I see him.

Yanfei: *yawns* Wiiiilllll doooo.

Kuki:He’s not the only one tired. Maybe you should stay until tomorrow? It’ll be night when you get back.

Yanfei:I’d love to, but I have my own civil affairs to look after. I’ll be fine.

xxxxx

It was well into the night and Yanfei was tired! However, she was also fulfilled. Not a regret to be have. All that was left was set aside a few files for tomorrow. She opened her office door and flicked on the light, gasping at the sight of a single cupcake in a box and Aether’s resting his head on his arms at her desk. He looked up, greeting a tired smile with another.

Yanfei:You’ve been busy.

Aether:So have you. I woke up to get some water and noticed several boxes and a list gone. I’m no detective but I figured you were up to something. Thanks.

Yanfei:No thanks needed and don’t feel guilty either! I had fun seeing Inazuma and my wonderful junior.

Aether:Better than fishing?

Yanfei:Definitely.

She walked over to the single red and white cupcake. Yanfei opened the box then put a single birthday on it before lightning it with her finger. A single breath blew it up and she giggled as he clapped.

Aether:Hope your wish comes true.

Yanfei:Let’s find out. Work can wait. Carry me to bed, please?

Aether laughed. A easy wish, even when tired. He got up and lifted Yanfei into his arms like a bride. Yanfei rested her head on him. She even got a kiss on the forehead.

Yanfei:*red* Will I wake up to you next to me tomorrow?

Aether:Who am I to deny a wish and good sleep? Happy Birthday Yanfei, and sweet dreams.

Yanfei:Zzzzz

My Baby.

Aron was getting tired of Nigel's relationship with his pig. He understood the relationship between therapy animals and their owners very well his parents almost talked him into getting one after the war. But denied it saying he just needs his badass lady. Which he did.

But to put the whole ship on lockdown? That was a bit too far in his book. He had woken up hours ago by blaring sirens and red lights telling them to evict the halls and areas to get to their rooms and stay there till further information was lead on.

Everyone obeyed thinking it was a serious manner. That was until one operative on a digital call told them Nigel had lost his stupid pig and that was the reason for the lockdown. Many had scoffed at it thinking it was a stupid idea for a lost animal who would be back in a few hours. While others just soaked up the free time.

"If he wants to waste time looking for a pig let him. He's wasting time."

Aron thought the same and went back to bed at Natalie's request. That was until Cherri called them.

"Guys, how long is this going to take? It's been a whole fucking day!" Her voice boomed from their communicator. She had always hated that pig.

"It's been a whole day since the lockdown?" While others used their newly found free time for catching up or relaxing they had used the time to catch up sleeping. To them, it was only a few hours.

"Yeah, thirty hours!" Nicole yelled off the screen from her right."People are getting tired of this and want to leave. Chubbs is never too far from him I don't see why he needs to be this excessive."

"Maybe it stuck in a vent again." Cherri laughs remembering the time Chubbs got suck trying to eat a crystal worm."Or maybe someone pranking him."

He knew better to make these jokes but at times they were funny. He'd let this pass. Like Cherri said this should be over soon Chubbs is never too far away.

~~~~~~~~~

Okay, he was wrong and that was it he was done with this lockdown. Chubbs must be dead if not missing for a week-long lockdown to be put up. Everyone was tired, hungry, and, bored. People were protesting on the bridge yelling. They wouldn't listen to Nigel or Leon when they trying to explain the situation so they were left to throw their tantrum.

So Sector V along with the teen leaders decided to show up asking for answers. When they were told to watch out for Nigel they thought he'd be in a bad mood like last time they didn't expect him to be sobbing his heart out.

"Nigel! Oh my, Zero what's wrong?!" He collected his little brother in his arms. He tears stained his shirt as he sobbed.

"My baby! Someone took my baby!" He sobs loudly."I can't find them anywhere I've searched the whole ship with Leon their not here!"

Steve made a face but said nothing about the stupidity of this situation. He instead nudged Abby who sighed realizing she had to step up.

"Come on am Sure there here somewhere are you sure you checked everything?" She rubbed his back.

"Of course I Have!" He yelled in her face.

"I've checked the cameras on all settings I checked their tracking device and even ripped apart this ship! What do you think I've been doing for a week?!"

Abby reeled back from him as his eyes glowed red and smoke left his mouth as he spoke. She backed up from him in fear.

"Come one there her somewhere." Kuki said with her shrill voice."It can't be that bad."

He shoved Aron off holding his head.

"They're dead. I know it."

They turned their heads seeing Leon. He looked frantically around at them. He came over to his distraught boyfriend you could tell he felt the same way.

"Please tell me you found something." He whispered brokenly lava tears pooling out. "Please don't me she's dead."

All he could do was look down. Nigel sobbed louder. It was a wonder he still had tears left to cry.

"Wait she?!" Wally inquired noticing the pronoun finally."Isn't Chubbs a boy?"

Aron felt something drop. Whether it was Nigel composure or his heart he didn't know first. He knew from seeing Leon flitch Nigel lost it.

"What?" He asked looking at them. "I didn't hear you correctly." His voice low and deep his face showing pure rage.

"You idiots think am looking for some pig?!!" His voice boomed so loud in broke windows. They held their ears not wanting to Los their hearing."You honestly think am doing this for a pig that hasn't left my side for days?!"

"Well-" Wally hid behind Kuki as he kept screaming Aron and Abby held on to him tightly so he wouldn't do something he'd regret later.

"Am not doing this for Chubbs am doing this for Victoria! She has been gone for over a week! My newborn has gone missing!" He snapped clawing at their hands.

"Hell, she might even be dead." He whispers he fell into Leon's arms again with grief in Leon's arms.

"Someone took Tori?!" Natalie jaw dropped at the realization that someone kidnapped her niece."How?! Who did it?!"

"We don't know she was gone for a few hours and we decided to check cameras in case one of you had her. There isn't even footage! She's in her crib one second and gone the next."

"Wait there a tracker in her clothes didn't you say you used that?" Nicole ask. She of all people should know she made it at Nigel's request it was foolproof.

"We did all we know is that she's on this ship somewhere. Her tracker blanked out on us. Her bottles and diapers go missing and there are claw marks along with laser reside on doors and windows."

"She's still alive I hear her crying on my late-night patrols. She's here but we don't know where and this person is crucial on taking her from us."

Their hearts dropped when they saw Chubbs come over and head butt Aron's legs. Little Tori was only two weeks old. Why in the world would someone want her? The war was over for years why would someone do this?

Was it payback? Ransome? What is about paying a price? Revenge?

They all felt the realization dawn on them someone actually took the baby. The giggling joyful baby girl that Nigel gave life to two weeks ago was gone.

It suddenly became quiet deathly quiet even the protester cries were quiet. The only thing for a few minutes was Nigel's whimpers and Leon's sniffles. Aron felt something ignite in him seeing Natalie's and Cherri's face they all had the same idea.

"Go rest we can take it over from here."
