Kazuha Whump In The Wizarding World

Kazuha Whump in the Wizarding World

Kazuha used the Killing Curse on Raiden Ei, the Lady Shogun of Japan's Magical Shogunate. Her discriminatory decree against half-bloods and muggle-born persons lead to Tomo, his lover w/ no magical ancestors, declaring a duel before her throne. The stipulations said that his victory meant the abolishment of the decree, but if the Lady Shogun won, he would accept death by her wand. To no one's surprise, Tomo lost.

As Raiden Ei prepared to cast the Killing Curse, Kazuha struck her w/ one of his own before she could even point her wand at Tomo. Everyone was in shock, esp. himself. He hadn't thought; he only moved and saved Tomo from death. Onlookers screamed in horror and fled the scene, others barked out orders to seize the lovers both, but the only thing that Kazuha cared about was Tomo's look of betrayal. He'd brought shame upon a duel of honor and murdered the Lady Shogun. The Kaedehara wizard was a gifted legilimens, but he didn't need the ability to mindread to understand the severity of his actions. As Shogunate officers closed in on them, Kazuha drug his dearest to the nearest fireplace and narrowly escaped the Magical Shogunate. Outside, Tomo condemned him and severed their relationship.

The consequences that followed this incident were the capture of both men; a trial overseen by the new Lord Shogun, Kamisato Ayato; and the absolution of Tomo on the grounds that the duel was sabotaged by a third party. Kazuha plead and was found guilty, but instead of the traditional punishment of seppuku for such a grievous crime, he was sentenced to eternity in Japan's version of Azkaban.

It was an underground facility guarded by baku, yokai that ate dreams and nightmares alike, but these specific ones were trained to eat only dreams. Thus, prisoners could only experience terrifying, horrifying things when they slept. You were very lucky if you didn't dream at all.

Kazuha was thrown into his cramped cell, stripped down and reclothed in a simple white kimono. You might've mistaken it for a pathetic excuse of a furisode, but this garment was enchanted; its long sleeves forced the wearer to have their arms crossed in front of them and bound them close to the body at all times except mealtimes. (You had to eat fast before they reset.) It was also rather heavy for what it appeared to be. On top of this standard wear, hwvr, Kazuha had a blindfold tied tightly around his head.

His guess was that it was a precaution. He was a known legilimens, one of the most talented of his generation, and it made sense that they wanted to protect the guards from his influence. If you asked him, tho, he'd tell you it was entirely unnecessary. If he escaped, where would he run off to? What sort of life could he live? More importantly, who would be waiting for him?

Oh, that's right: no one.

All's Fair in Love & War

Inspired by:

When I read about a Kazuha w virtually omnipresent eyes and ears, presumably thru his vision, I brimmed with inspiration.

Imagine that Kazuha (O) became known by the Shogunate for this amazing feat, and as this takes place years before the damning decrees, the Tenryou Commission didn't seek to confiscate his vision. Instead, they used him for their own ends in law enforcement and later the search for visions.

The Kaedehara clan was more than eager to give up their only child for the opportunity to reenter high society. The icing on the cake: "Baal" was so generous enough to grant a marriage between her own brother, Kunikuzushi, and Kazuha. (Yes, Scaramouche [A] is Ei's little brother.) This tightly secured the old samurai clan's place among the nobility.

Though they started out at odds thanks to Scara's abrasive personality, ScaraKazu built a love you'd probably only see in one of Yae's light novels.

The evidence: When the Raiden Shogun intended to punish her brother for some offense or failure, Kazuha didn't even blink before shielding his partner. Her lightning struck him square in the face, rendering him completely blind, hard-of-hearing, and without a good sense of smell. The top half of his face was branded with scars lightning strikes.

When she had no sympathy for his ruination at her hands, calling it a punishment for them both, Kunikuzushi vowed to revenge his partner and cast away his name in favor of the title, Scaramouche. He cared for Kazuha until he could adjust without three of his five senses and left without a goodbye to join the Fatui.

Fortunately, Kazuha didn't lose his unique ability in the incident. Were he useless to the Tenryou Commission, especially in their hunt for visions, "Baal" would've done away with him and sentenced him to death for association with a traitor. In the privacy of their home within the palace, he prayed for Kunikuzushi's safety and eventual return. Unbeknownst to him, his alpha had indeed planned to come back.

At the height of the Vision Hunt, the Sangonomiya Resistance sent Tomo (A), a stranger to Kazuha, to carry out an assassination attempt on the "Shogun's Eyes" to cripple the Shogunate's efficiency.

Tomo wasn't ninja, but the Resistance couldn't rely on anyone else at the time. Thus, he infiltrated his target's residence and prepared to strike Kazuha down as he sat peacefully on his porch. He noticed, however, that his target couldn't see, implied by the silk embroidered blindfold around his face.

The next thing he discovered was that the other man couldn't hear nor smell well. There was no reaction to any close proximity or when he knocked over a vase...which made his day.

He hated Shogunate dogs, but this was just unfair. Tomo had no desire to cut down someone so highly disadvantaged. (Even when he was finally caught, the tremendous fight Kaedehara put up didn't sway him differently.) Instead, he opted to kidnap him for the Resistance's use. He wasn't dead like they wanted him to be, but he wasn't at the Shogun's disposal either. Still a win, right?

Regardless, General Gorou was understandably upset with him for disobeying orders in the name of mercy. Yet, at the same time, he acknowledged the ethical dilemma Tomo was in. (He wasn't so sure he'd've made a different decision himself.) Punishment had to be dealt, though; so, the responsibility for the surprise prisoner was foisted onto Tomo. The bruises and cuts made by someone proficient with a blade made it apparent that Kazuha couldn't be left unsupervised.

Tomo: Why don't we just lock him up somewhere?!

Gorou: You're the one who thinks we can pry information out of him; so, why don't you make friends w him and learn everything you can?

Neither parties involved were happy with this arrangement, least of all Kazuha.

He needed to return home in case Kunikuzushi came back to him and thought he'd been left when Kazu wasn't there. He said as much to Tomo after he proved himself trustworthy, and the fondness only grew when he made a genuine offer to help find the omega's mate if he cooperated w the Resistance. Then started the downward spiral toward a romance.

From the shadows, Scaramouche seethed when these rebels dared to put their hands on his Kazuha, and his blood boiled as this "Tomo" began seducing him. Guilt for not telling him he'd been in Inazuma for a year already fought equally hard for room in his heart, but there was time for that later. The mission came first, and once it was finished, he'd go to Kazuha and make up for lost time. Tomo would also pay for his transgressions. A nobody trying to lure his partner from his marriage bed would not be overlooked.

It’s funny ‘cause, as a Pathfinder player, TDP dark magic just looks like regular arcane magic. 

Ya got your spell materials, gesticulations, incantations, etc. 

OFC, not all Pathfinder spells require materials like dark magic does. They also don’t necessarily lead to mental damage, gradual w/ usage or not, either. 

Other than that, though, Viren and Claudia are pretty much just regular wizards if ya tossed ‘em in Golarion.  

Maguu Kenki!TomoKazu

Together. TmKz are Maguu Kenki together. 🐱🍁>👹

They're tragically beautiful but equally terrifying, reminding you of some sorta Dark Souls boss since one is massive and fully-armored; and in one arm, he cradles the other who's fragile and nestles against him.

Even as husks of their former selves, TmKz still display overt affection for one another. Tomo is always careful to not jostle Kazu around too much, which remains true even in the heat of battle; and Kazuha speaks words of love and comfort, his quiet voice the only thing that keeps his dearest from entering a frenzy. When idle, you can catch Kazu planting little kisses against Tomo's helm and receive gentle strokes on his head from a large hand in return. They're a as pitiful as they are deadly.

Tomo's unhindered with Kazuha occupying a whole arm—he can wield his giant sword in one hand and mow down enemies with scary effectiveness. His unnatural command over cryo is abetted by Kazuha, whose anemo swirls and turns the battlefield into an icy-cold hell. He laments his lost ability to wield his own sword, however. In his crippled state, he adopted catalyst techniques. Not that the couple's captors gave him much choice.

I’m 92% sure Hashirama saw a doodle Madara thought he drew stealthily on his paperwork and said, “Yep, that’s the new symbol of the Leaf.” 

Anyone who’s perused my blog will know that I have very simple tastes, and that’s pretty gorgeous men and ABO dynamics. 

Now, I know next to nothing about Onmyoji, but I know a little something about the Douji duo, and there’s no way I can just let them be; so, imagine with me an omega!Ibaraki as the de facto Queen of the Demons. 

He and alpha!Shuten aren’t married, but since they’re often seen in each other’s company, and the ancient world can’t imagine an alpha-omega pair that spends that much time together and aren’t also married, everyone just kinda assumes they are. Shuten will protest when he’s asked, esp. when he’s flirting with other pretty things, but no one really believes him. His actions don’t match his words. (Some will whisper words of pity for Ibaraki when the Demon King has his back turned.) Ibaraki himself insists he’s simply his righthand man and best friend, but there’s a fine—and I mean really fine—line between queen and righthand in his case. 

A child between ShuIba is probably raised solely by their mother, while their father is off gallivanting and terrorizing the country of Japan. If he does bother to show his face, Shuten acts more like a friend of the family—happy to play around with them but not too keen on doing the hard stuff. “That’s an omega’s job,” he says, and Ibaraki isn’t going to correct him. If anything, he probably believes that, too, and imagines his unofficial husband has better things to do. (A progressive Ibaraki might chalk it up to Shuten’s declining dignity and increased drunken stupors post-resurrection; he doesn’t know what he’s saying.) 

Mt. Oe is in the de facto queen’s care following Shuten’s return to the living and subsequent neglect of the land. When he’s not chasing down his drunken, lecherous friend, he’s listening to the complaints and worries of the local spirits and resolving pressing matters. Honestly, Shuten probably didn’t have a knack for administrative work to begin with and just ran everything over with his brute strength, leaving Ibaraki to handle things with more finesse; so, it’s not like he hasn’t done this song and dance a thousand times before. He just wishes Shuten were half the king he used to be to make the maintenance worth it.
