Takeo woke up sweating,
He was in his room and he placed a hand on his chest, trying to calm down his speeding heart.
Despite of the cold air, sweat began dripping down his face and body. He panted as he remembered the quite hellish experience and the sudden nightmare that occurred.
"Why the hell did I dream such thing..." He muttered before looking out onto the window.
'And out of all people he had to be in my dream now?' He sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose in stress.
(Y/n) who was standing in the kitchen, preparing food for breakfast, was lost in her mind.
Her shoulders were a bit sore and she didn't managed to get enough sleep, due to her sleeping in the living room couch.
'Yesterday was pretty hectic...I wonder, just who you are Toji-san? Also it seems like father knows something about him....a shaman huh?' (Y/n) thought before resuming back onto her preparing foods.
Toji, laid in the futon with a small chest pain and arm pain, his wounds bled out last night.
e.....u.....j......j
Toji, sat straight up as he felt something, he looked outside the window and noticed the sunny blue skies, turn into dark red.
Toji felt the chills into his body, his eyes grew a bit wide before grinning.
Back to (Y/n) who was now serving the food, tensed up too and looked at the window from the kitchen.
The sky went grey.
It was weird since there was no news or broadcast about raining, was it a miscalculation? (Y/n) thought so and just resumed back to serving food.
"I should probably make a separate serving for Otou-sama..." she muttered and as if it was coincidence, Takeo slammed door open making (Y/n) jump in surprise.
"O-Otou-sama!" (Y/n) exclaimed as she see her father walking towards the window looking very worried and scared.
Then there was a knock in the door, Takeo felt shivers go through his body and (Y/n) watch in concern as her father acted so strangely.
Takeo walked to the door and opened it, revealing one of their neighbor, Kikuyo Fuguechi. She was older than Takeo and was the sweet grandma of the village who was always traveling. She wore a violet Kimono with a lavender cardigan.
"Kikuyo-san...!" Takeo exclaimed before bowing in greeting at the elder woman.
"Hello Fushiguro-san...and Oh! (Y/n)-chan hello!" Kikuyo greeted with a smile on her face as she nodded towards the Fushiguros.
"It's been sometime Fuguechi-san!" (Y/n) greeted with a bow and smile as she helped the elderly woman sit on the couch.
"W-What are you doing here Kikuyo-san...?" Takeo asked as the elderly woman and his daughter sit together on the couch.
"Ah... well I just came back from a trip to Chugoku and I bought everyone some gifts" She pulled out a small box with some fancy decorations on it.
What was unique about it was there was no opening and the strong scent coming out of it.
"Hmm? What's this?" (Y/n) asked as she looked at the box with curiosity.
"You see, I went to this festival in Chugoku and I saw this beautiful looking box...though I admit the smell from this is a bit...weird" She chuckled before pulling out a handkerchief and wiped the sides of the box.
Takeo felt his head spin as he looked at the box, his shoulders and arms felt so heavy...it was like, someone was on his back.
"Then I asked the merchant about the box and he said, it was supposed to be a holy item and brings great blessings towards young girls" Kikuyo, then turned towards (Y/n) with a soft smile and grabbed her hand, placing the box on her palm.
"For many years, since a young age, you have been helping around this town and have done so many things for us. (Y/n)-chan...you have a great future ahead of you, do more great things in life" Kikuyo said with a warm smile and retracted her hands.
As the box made contact with her hand, (Y/n) felt her chest light. Like every problem and negative thoughts suddenly vanished. She also felt tremendous happiness, hearing the words from Kikuyo alone.
"Kikuyo-san..." She whispered and looked at the elderly woman with a grateful smile. She nodded and clutched the box.
Meanwhile, Takeo felt like his life was about to end any moment like something was about to kill him. He looked around carefully and suddenly, he stopped.
His blood went cold and sweat started running down his face and body. There was something sharp pointing at him.
Kikuyo then stood up with (Y/n)'s assistance as she guided her to the door. Kikuyo paused and looked at (Y/n).
"Now, I have to get going now...oh and (Y/n)-chan" She grinned at her and playfully winking at the younger woman.
"I hope you can finally find someone and if you haven't remember my foolish grandson is still single" She said making (Y/n) awkwardly laugh and sweat.
"A-Ah...I'm good Kikuyo-san plus I heard he likes Kunime"
"Oya? That's a shame. I would've liked it if you became my granddaughter-in-law" She pouted.
"Oba-chan!"
"Well speak of the devil" Kikuyo sighed and turned around seeing his grandson.
"Well then farewell (Y/n)-chan" The elderly woman nodded at her with a smile.
"Please do visit us again" She nodded back and waited for them to be out of her sight before going back inside.
'Kikuyo-san is as nice as ever' She thought with a smile before it faded as she felt something wrong.
"Otou-sama...?" (Y/n) called out for her father who was in the living room earlier, now missing.
T H U D
T H U D
T H U D
Loud footsteps were heard in the house, echoing before a sudden sound of the sliding door, slamming.
"T-Toji-san...!?" (Y/n) gasped out seeing the older male suddenly emerging from her father's bedroom.
"Oi...where's my dagger?" He approached her, getting awfully near her.
"Err...what...?" (Y/n) was confused as to the sudden question. She took a step back, resulting Toji to sighed and look around the room.
"My blade woman, the one I had last time" He said and his eyes stopped on the small wooden box.
He approached the coffee table and picked up the small box. In (Y/n)'s eyes, it was a normal box. But for Toji, the box had a purple aura omitting from it.
"This shit stinks...why do you have this thing?" He said and (Y/n) explained as she opened a cabinet.
"Kikuyo-san came by earlier and gave me that box from her trip and— oh! Here it is" (Y/n) pulled out a plastic and removed it, revealing the blade.
Toji immediately went over to (Y/n) and snatched the blade out of her hands.
"He-Hey!" (Y/n) called out.
Toji went over at the table again and brought his blade up before slamming it harshly.
Though the blade never touched the box
~ Jujutsu Stroll ~
"Toji-saaan~!" (Y/n) called out and Toji who was on the floor doing push ups, looked on the side to see (Y/n) with a cheerful expression.
"Let's go watch some movies!" She squealed and brought out 7 VHS movies, most of them are kinda foreign movies.
"Huh? No" He said and resumed to doing his push ups. Making (Y/n) drop her smile and comically went into a corner, with her face burried in her arms and knees.
"Dad recently bought them and he said they were really good movies" (Y/n) mumbled. Toji, stopped doing his push ups and sighed, he stood up and grabbed one of the VHS titled in Japanese;
'The Little Mermaid'
Toji's eyebrow twitched, it was a cartoon movie. He approached and tapped (Y/n) on the shoulders, making her turn her head slowly.
"H-Hai...?" She sobbed and Toji raised the VHS up, looking away with a small blush on his face.
(Y/n) immediately cheered up and tackled Toji onto the ground, hugging him. Toji froze at the interaction and just laid there in the floor confused with (Y/n) on too of him, embracing him.
"Thank you so much Toji-kun!" She said and stood up, pulling Toji along with her.
In the living room, (Y/n) watched with pure amazement while Toji watched it with boredom.
'What the hell...is she a child?' He thought and looked at (Y/n). He couldn't help but smile at the pure and honest emotions that she was showing.
Soon, (Y/n) suddenly fell asleep. Toji noticed she was about to fall forward, but managed to catch her with ease and pull her into his chest.
"O-Oi...!" He grunted and sighed before repositioning himself, allowing the woman to sleep comfortably on his chest.
Toji looked away with a small blush, not used into this intimate action. His heart started beating faster and his breath hitched. He looked back at (Y/n)'s face and watched her sleeping expression.
Her cute plump lips,
That pure expression like nothing bad is gonna happen.
He didn't noticed, but he was leaning towards (Y/n) slowly and near—
"(Y/n)! Toji-kun! I'm home—" Takeo paused as he saw the position of Toji and his daughter were in.
"...."
"...."
They were both silent until Takeo dropped the basket on his back and grabbed the pickaxe from the basket.
"TEMEEEEEE!! THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!"
