    Summary

    “If you wanted me against a tree, Tomioka, you could’ve just asked.”

    He coughed, casting a sidelong look her way. “I can still call Shinobu.”

    “You wouldn’t!”

    “I would.”

    “...coward.”
    -
    Because a world without mischief, doesn't sound like much fun.

    Summary

    “How much would you like to bleed tonight, my pet?” The cool honey like melody only he could produce met your dizzy mind, an intoxicating suffering only he could provide.

    Perhaps it was a sin but since your youth, you had grown in eternal paradise. Of course you knew his dirty little secret yet who were you to critique an angel?

     

    “I want you to stay forever. I want to be the only one you make cry.”

    Soft padded footsteps cross through the hall of his temple. Even with the light’s off you knew your way around. Master Douma had left his bed hours ago. Of course he had no need to sleep yet he humored you and slept beside you. It was normal for him to leave in the night to feed and you wished to welcome him home.

    “Mhmnn…”

    “Mmmvmnn..”

    Muffled speech met you through the walls.

    “Master Douma?”

    Your legs stung and ached from beneath the bandages your angel had oh so delicately dressed you in.

    Rows of eyes my yours yet they were not those of eternal paradise. These wore uniforms and carried swords.

    “Oh Shinobu…”

    “Master… master Douma?”

    Who were these people? Where was master Douma?

    Master Douma, how could you make me cry?

    Summary

    In her mind, Shinobu Kochou was two different people, two images overlapping in a way that blurred both and made her feel dizzy, if not a little ill.

    There was the Shinobu Kochou before Kanae Kochou's death. The determined, stern girl who'd brought home a slave girl with her sister. Who always seemed dissatisfied and wasn't afraid to show it on her face. The sharp-tongued girl who'd called Hiroyuki dumb for pulling out an arrow and risk bleeding out.

    And then there was the Shinobu Kochou after Kanae Kochou's death. The Shinobu Kochou whose eyes were cold and whose smile, most of the time, were hollow. Who would spew deadly poison with a sweet smile. The one who would always smile even though she's angry or frustrated.

    To her Shinobu Kochou was a precocious and frighteningly charming person. The one who would get away with anything, not because of her pure muscle strength and fighting capabilities, but because of her quick wits. If Hiroyuki were to describe her it'll be like that of a picture full of small errors, the kind you could only pick out by searching the image from every angle, and then after a long observation, a few always slipped by.

    Summary

    Your eyes swept across the dimly lit room, tongue flicking away the crimson that dripped down your chin. The fresh corpse of the Demon King laid before you.

    aka, you’ve awoken in a strange new world and have taken his place.

    Summary

    Her death suited her - quiet and bitter. But instead of simply moving on to nothing, she began to breathe again in a world where survival is far less guaranteed and strength is the ability to choose. She is in no way promised that strength, but she is at least allowed the memories of her past to possibly change the future - though she's not sold on that being a blessing or a curse. All she really wants is to be able to choose, but winter doesn't choose what dies and what can bloom in spring.
