[@xAlter][@Gerlando][@Lewascan2][@King Kindred][@Kpopknower][@Taka][@Thanatos 7][@13org][@The Jest] [/Sub][/sub][/sub] [sup]_______________________________________________________________________________[/sup] Takaya accepted his fated cognition, admitting the dirty secrets of the Tokugawa Files, moving forward as time gradually push in place, at least he told them briefly what's needed alongside addressing sentiments. [sup]Cont. from the Mangalized images[/sup] Takaya genuinely smiled at the Hashira, Tsuguko & Monk, all participants in the meeting even at DS Team Korea. [color=blueviolet]"If my predecessors have taken the grievances that everyone had mutually felt for so long, then perhaps Guen would still be with us and I wouldn't have to keep lying and piling up more secrets, and standing before you now as a failure."[/color] [sup]Takaya had so much to tell and he's aware of the gains and losses that will direct and ripple the path he has chosen while he thought too late, his precognition told him otherwise. As an Ubuyashiki, Takaya is a man of few words, shy from expressing his emotions, which also means that he has difficulty conveying it directly. The exception to this rule is Himari and their child, Hinahi, and those that knows the heart of Takaya. [/sup] [color=blueviolet]"I get that all of us hardened our hearts for needless tears to never pour again. Which is why I have sent the context of our meeting in advanced, etched into your [i]hearts[/i]. Blood Demon Art: Rippling Memory Ravines."[/color] [sup]By virtue of Takaya's Kiji-blood through demonic ancestry, his Kekkijutsu: Hamon Omoide Keikoku is a BDA that shares the sensational emotions, thoughts, feelings and visions between those he views as allies. A mass-linking of inherited memories. [/sup] Envisualized as a domain of endless ravines, each and everyone is guided by a copy of Takaya, who is rowing the boat upon the sea of memories. Whether they like it or not, the memories they see is not just from their own pasts, but also, those that Takaya chose to share and cultivated. In this BDA, Takaya has raw emotions, it allows participants to be themselves privately, should they desire. [sub]Yoshihide[/sub] [hider=Lane 1][i]I know it must've been too shitty and numbing for you, my sibling and you were right, the Corps is dogmatic to their cause, blinded by tradition, this time, I chose to face things head on, please Jae-Eun, let us combine our strength to make a better Corps, so that the futures of adults and kids alike need not be cut short by the problems of those in Political Power. If this is all of a sudden and too intrusive for you, then pardon me, because there isn't a time like this, where I can feel every part of you, your humanity, being your fragility and powr, I will share your burdens and yes that includes how you want to confront Guen. I have seen your fate. It is a premonition and you will have nothing but hardships till 1995. The Dalnim household is in shambles, I know not your further relation with them but keep Dalnim Suga as close as possible. You have met Muragarasu. She is a fine ally. Moreover, someone who has broken free from the chains of fate. It is not because I cannot read her future but I can only believe that whatever deal you had with her opens up the floodgates of heaven to wash away our guilt and sins. I sometimes wonder if the future can be changed. Dalnim..Gin...Guen...Blood Moon 1. I reacted to your memories earlier for some reason, perhaps you and I have a connection that transcends blood. Stay close to me and Himeno. After all, Yamazaki Akira is Guen's Tsuguko, I am lifting that burden from you and pass it unto Himeno. In 4 days time, you will face Guen. Make your own present to determine the future.[/i] [/hider][sub]Daikaku[/sub] [hider=Lane 2][i]My friend, you're so oblivious.[/i] Takaya laughed and poked Kōshin's forehead, affectionately. [i]This is only the safespace where I can tell you everything, I don't want you to die, my brother in arms. The higher-ups have warranted your trial and eventual execution, based on what Uzui Kairi found. Listen, I don't want the Daikaku Shrine as a pawn to this war and I'm sorry for acting the other way around. So please, can you for once, set aside your yes-man mentality, I know it's hypocritical coming from me, who is enchained as the vessel of seeing the absolute future.[/i] Takaya cried in the arms of Koshin. [i]You've been there when my father was gone. You've taught me how to handle all this leadership, it's stressful and I cannot cry out, it's numbing...it's suffocating and it hurts to open up and find reprieve. In 4 days time, you will go to Kyoto and face Ryoshu.[/i][/hider][sub]Kirizanten[/sub][hider=Lane 3][i]Stupid Cousin. You didn't have to call me with that embarrassing nickname.[/i] Takaya judo-locked Kumori and let her go. [i]How are things in Kyoto? I heard you're assignment in Osaka is eventful, you'll be reassigned there by Haruka. Kuku...why don't we go to this mission together, with you and I together, we're the dynamic duo.[/i][/hider][sub]Yamazaki & Sagamiya[/sub][hider=Lane 4][i]I know that Guen sent you, Akira. Don't need to be afraid of it. I know what it's like when a parent expects much from their child. I'm leaving you to your Grandmother, Himeno and in 4 days time, you will face Guen, the both of you. Please stop her. Himeno, I know Jae is bound to do something stupid, so make sure he doesn't and do it as a mother.[/i][/hider][sub]Agatsuma[/sub][hider=Lane 5][i] Muragarasu seems to have taken a liking on you, more than Jae-Eun. Is it your responsibility as a man so women don't have to be worried? I wonder. You will be heading to Kyoto in 4 days and it's not gonna be a fun ride. I will be with you because I have seen your future. I have so made it that you succeed Kamado Ryunosuke as the Sun Hashira, you're not replacing him by bond, your cousin is still out there but something tells me, the skies are gray. Be careful of Yuwaku Reiha. You'd be literally playing a prominent role in Taihoku. Aka Taiwan, you will face a Demon King like no other and women that are monsters. I sometimes wonder if the future is set but for many years, my visions have been consistent and never wrong. So buddy, this is awkward, I'm getting married to Himari next month, got any advice on dealing with the one? My Elders kept tell me to pursue 2 more wives, just because Japan traditionally allows 3 wives for those who got cash in bag. The thing is, as simple as the answer, my emotions are going wild, whenever it's Himari. I just want her but my Elders at the same time come to mind, by force of natural obligation, I don't wanna fail them either yet I don't wanna have 2 more wives. How can I be free...[/i] For the first time, Takaya is vulnerably acting as a 15 year old.[/hider][sub]Himari-pookie-pie, saving her for last because if I do her first, I'll be biased![/sub][hider=Lane 6][i]Tsugikuni Himari, will you marry me?[/i] Takaya knelt down and brought out an engagement ring to his fiance. After the matter has been served... [i]You know the drill, bad news first then good news. We're always so dutiful. I long for the day that we're just normal people, but I wouldn't have it any other way.[/i] They're in a tree. [i]The bad news is, Kairi told me that the higher-ups are going to kill you and everyone involved in the Daikaku Incident and Torigoya Ordeal. Yours is more personal, the DS-HQ wants you dead because we took in Hinahi, I won't let them. You'll meet Guen in 4 days too. I know you don't have the best relationship with her but surely, it's not always like that, there must be times when everything was just right, especially with Hikaru around at that time, I don't want his memory to be tarnished, so keep Jae close.[/i] Takaya held Himari's hand tight and intimately. [i]You told me that by making Hinahi, the Demon King, that dream of co-existence between lion and lamb comes close. So I'm going to kill the higher-ups when the time comes, let alone use our political power as I arise to the chrysanthemums throne as the Emperor of Japan. Funny how we have ancestors for a Demon King. It's so romantic that we're kinda star-crossed lovers or soulmates, damn, I am so bad with romantic words but at least I try. So tell me, for all my pragmatic approach and red ledger, is it right? I try to uphold Hikaru's treaty with the Yatsuchizuki but even he knew full well that peace is temporary. I wish I could be as idealistic as him and you. I've killed many people both human and demon yet you're always by my side.[/i] Takaya leaned on Himari's shoulder, recollecting the sins he committed against bad guys like the Yakuza Humans and Demons. [i]Can the future be truly changed? Is it set in stone? I got so many things in my mind right now and with you, I feel vulnerable and all that guilt eats me.[/i] [/hider] Memory Lane ends. Takaya showed them the founding of the Demon Slayer Corps of Tokyo and its corruption, you name it. [color=blueviolet]"And last but not least, it's up to you on how you wanna go from here, it is my responsibility as leader to tell you this; the three founders of Tokyo Corps al descended from Demon Kings. A fault that the Tokugawa Files have been hiding. Sagamiya, Tokito and Muramasa clans. Anyways, it doesn't matter now and it's way overdue. Make your own future. So before we go to the Beach, where the cram class will be held. I ask you this... Is your future absolute because it's the fate or is fate absolute because it is the future?"[/color] 3 hour timeskip: 11am — Tan'nowa Tokimeki Beach, Osaka.[hr] [/cell][/row][/table] [/Indent][/indent]
