    Summary

    Keizo took Hakuji home, introducing him to an unfamiliar kind of innocence and something resembling a childhood. Subsequently, came the oddball of a boy from the neighboring dojo to his life.

    (Or: AU where the dojo neighboring Keizo’s is owned by the Rengoku family, and Hakuji finds a friend within someone he would've ripped apart, should his life turned out differently.)

    (Discontinued.)

    Summary

    During Akaza's fight with Kyojuro, he manages to bleed into his wounds. However, it's such a small amount, neither of them notice. Weeks later, Shinobu is surprised and concerned by how quickly Kyojuro is recovering, and Akaza is confused by the new mental connection he seems to have.

    It doesn't take him long to realize that not only did he accidentally turn Kyojuro, but for inexplicable reasons, the transformation is so agonizingly slow, the slayer hasn't even realized it's happening yet, leaving Akaza torn between telling him the truth to brace him for it... Or letting him live the human life he so desperately wants for as long as he still can.

    Summary

    Ink dipped fingers curled into a fist as excruciating, burning pain cut through every fiber of his being. He shoved his fist forward, pounding first against flesh and then through it completely. As blood poured down his forearm, he found himself looking up, up, up, and staring into —

    -

    Nearly every time Hakuji bumps into his new neighbor, he finds himself dreaming of inky blue fingers and blood. Yet as doubt creeps in about the man he is, as he begins to fear the creature he used to be, a blazing presence seems maddeningly determined to fight back against the darkness.

    Summary

    "Say," Akaza eventually says. He leans forward, "How ill are you?

    Rengoku barks out a dry laugh and he refocuses on the demon. Akaza cocks his head and Rengoku's slurred mind cannot help but think he looks like a confused dog. There's an innocence to his dumbfounded ignorance that is almost charming. "I am not sick, demon," He says, "I am cold. Humans can only survive these temperatures for so long."

    Akaza's eyes go wide as understanding greets his face. And then his gaze wanders down Rengoku, taking him in. "You're going to die."

    "Most likely, yes."

    Akaza's reaction is immediate. With a wisp of wind, he is suddenly kneeling next to Rengoku, back to the fire and leaning in close to his face. "Become a demon," He says quickly, quietly.

    Summary

    "Don't you dare say that," Akaza warns him, trying to keep his voice down, completely overwhelmed by his feelings. "Promise me, Kyojuro. Promise me that you will never shield me again." There’s urgency in his voice, and he will never take no for an answer. He has to promise him — right here, and now. “I’m a demon, Kyojuro — I know you sometimes seem to forget about that, but that doesn’t change the truth. I’m a demon, few things can really hurt me. Only two things can kill me.”

     

    They stare at each other for a moment, and Akaza feels his eyes sting and wonders if he's crying or not. He can feel a strange pain at the back of his throat, and taste the bitter tang of agony. If Kyojuro were to die, Akaza would lose himself once again.
