STARS AND BUTTERFLIES - Saito x OC / Chapter 1
Kuze residence in Edo 1864 Japan
The prince of Kuze died on an autumn night. The red maple covered the courtyard of the Kuze residence and here and there a gust of wind whirled up the foliage, making it look as if the leaves were dancing in circles around each other. They spun around in a swirl of red and orange, only to flutter to the ground shortly afterwards.
Six Hatamoto banner-bearers were watching over the big gate, which demarcated the domicile of the Kuze from the rest of the world. The voices rose louder and then went quiet again, a murmur that swelled like the humming of an alarmed swarm of bees.
The leafy ground was suddenly lit

STARS AND BUTTERFLIES - Saito x OC / Chapter 2
In Mibu the Shinsengumi were hated. A stinking, herb sniffing, pack of upstarts. Yes, one hardly dared to whisper, and yet in the evenings one crowded into the brothels to revolt with so much sake.
How far should it go, when legalized gangs have taken over your completely intrepid city? Yes, they were despised. The men in the pale blue haori were always secretly observed as they made their rounds.
They should stay away, these no-better-than-Ronin-dogs. Not all of them were even samurai of high birth. Farmers, artisans and worse - traitors.
And how blatantly they wielded their power, these bunglers… What a presumption to walk ar

By the time she passed the courtyard, she could already make out a large group of people gathering at the gate of the headquarters. They were all dressed in the same pale blue Haori that Akabara now wore. As she approached, she tried to ignore the prying eyes and scouted for Daisuke in the crowd. He was not visible.
Wait ... Akabara recalled the conversation that she had had with him after yesterday's meal. He was supposed to join another group, and this was the third unit. The soldiers spun over the day to divide the troops appropriately. Timidly, she approached the men. The men of the third division didn't dare speak to her. Some shyly shu

Power. Kazama x Reader
The last couple of weeks had been odd to say the least. Not only had Kazama been treating you completely differently than he had before, but everyone else that spoke to you had been as well. You had a sneaking suspicion as to why this was, but no one had bothered confirming these suspicions yet. The only thing you knew for sure was that Kazama had some use for you, and whatever that use was, had something to due with the fact that you had Oni blood running through your veins. While you did prefer the way Kazama was treating you now to how he once had, you now had no chores or tasks to keep you busy. This meant that the days you spent

Annoyed by how things had taken a turn, Souji stood in the doorway with his back to the group. Though it wasn't at all practical, he had resolved to keep watch while still hosting the game. “Alright, now that we all know nothing bad's going to happen, why don't we start this game up again? Since I can't see anyone, you all will just have to volunteer yourselves to play.”
The small, crowded room went silent for almost a full moment before someone finally decided to speak up. “I suppose if no one else is going to say anything, I'll go.” Sannan stood to his feet with a gentle smile on his face. As if he'd chose

“Look, we really have to pay attention this time. I'm not trying to put a damper on the mood, but someone could seriously get hurt.” Serious for once, Souji let out a sigh. “Anyway, let's try this again. Hopefully we won't run into any more problems.”
The moment the words had left Souji's mouth, someone unwanted, and very unexpected entered the room. He was tall, tanned, thin and had long flowing hair pulled away from his face in a high ponytail. The man wore a ridiculously confident, cooky look on his face as he strutted into the room. This confidence might have stemmed from the fact that he was holding a gun

“Once again we had a pretty good turn last time. Who knew the commander was such a lady killer? He hides it so well.” Chuckling under his breath, Souji stood in front of the dwindling crowd of people and looked for the next player. After a second or two, he spotted Susumu, sitting near the open door. “Hey, I didn't even notice you were here. Why don't you go ahead and take a turn before you get sent off to do something again?”
“Sure, I don't mind.” Though he really didn't all that look interested in participating, Susumu nodded, accepting Souji's invitation. The process of picking out a partner ha

“Looks like we're finally down to the last few players. I'm not complaining or anything, but this lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, and all this hosting has left me really thirsty.” After releasing a happy sounding sigh, Souji looked around the room for someone who hadn't already taken their turn. A second or two later, he gave Iba the signal to join him. “You've been so quiet I almost forgot that you were over there. Come pick someone before I actually do forget about you.”
“Alright.” With a gentle nod, Iba left his seat and started towards Souji. On the way, he stopped directly in fro

“Man, this game went down hill fast didn't it? First, there was that kidnapping, and then someone ran away. I'm starting to think you all might be right.” Souji grinned sarcastically. “Just kidding. Shinpachi get up here and play before you overdo it with the sake, again.”
Shinpachi stood to his feet, already looking like he might have had just a little too much. The fact that he was drunk became completely obvious when he tried to walk. “Man, they're all so pretty. I wish I could take all of them with me.” Knowing he couldn't do that even in his current state, he attempted to choose a partner. &l

Souji stood in front of the group, looking a little run down and tired from the last turn. Despite the majority of the group wanting to shut things down, he remained convinced that this was a good idea. “That last turn was a little dangerous, but I'm sure this one will be just fine. Some of us, just need to pay better attention to the things going on around us.” He smiled. “Now that that's all settled, let's resume playing, shall we? Who should be next?"
A quiet, gentle voice interrupted Souji. The moment it was heard, everyone became unusually tense. “Excuse me, I hate to interrupt, but I'd like to join you i
