“No thanks. I’ve seen enough darkness and fear for a hundred lifetimes. But let me offer you this.” She hands over her business card for the Ghostbusters Tokyo Branch. “My base of operations is an old hotel. If you need a place to stay for a while, there’s a lot of empty rooms there.”

Yaguruma reached out for the card, quickly glanced over it and stored it in one pocket of his leather pants. His whole gesture and attitude made one assume that he was used to some higher style of living that what he was currently going through. With a deep sigh he lifted his gaze towards the woman once more. “I humbly appreciate the offer,” he started to decline, voice kept low and husky, “but I assure you that you wouldn’t want my darkness within your walls. And somehow it feels like you’re laughing at me.”

“You really have lost your way.” he comments.  Revenge is like a poison noxious and deadly.  Tendou wonders if he was any different could he have walked that treacherous path Sou was on. If he wasn’t the person he is he’d fall and would’ve fallen just as hard as Yaguruma did.  The persistence… honestly it was surprising but he wondered if his fervent belief on exterminating the Worms was borderlining the point of obsession one similar to the fallen soldier’s very own towards him. “If things were different would we have walked the same paths we’re on now?”

Those words were genuine and in an unsurprisingly Souji like manner rather thought provoking. “Take what I said  as you will but I do wonder that from time to times.”  He dared not say anything else.

Yaguruma scuffed away from him for about two steps before he turned on his heel once more. Slowly his body followed his eyes and he looked him deeply in the eyes, trying to make sense out of what he had just heard. This man was out of his mind it seems. “How dare you judge me and my ways, just because I am a child of darkness, not like yourself who is engulfed by so much light that it hurts my eyes to even faintly look at you.” Stressing his statement he narrowed his eyes to a slit, trying hard to not look away again. “You are better in everything you do. And you can be happy that I finally acknowledge your superiority...”So, why wasn’t the other man happy? He certainly didn’t seem to pleased with Yagurumas’ words.

She lets her own armor fall away, revealing a dark skinned American woman in a grey jumpsuit. “Ever since I first put on this armor, I’ve been offering aid to anyone else who wears one. It’s not pity or spite. I don’t even know you. What I saw was a fellow Rider, temporarily outnumbered, so I offered to help you.”

Yagurumas’ mimics couldn’t reveal his thoughts, and his eyes looked like they weren’t a mirror of his soul at all anymore, just emptiness could be found within them. “I haven’t seen your around...”, he struggled to keep a normal conversation going. It has been ages since the last time he properly talked to someone. “Could it be that you came here to join me in my darkness?” Just now he slowly raised his head to reveal more of his face to her.

She hasn’t heard a line like that since her best friend went through a goth phase at fourteen. Rolling her eyes under her helmet, she plugs in another Eyecon.

“Eye! Kaigan! Shackleton! Over Land, Over Sea, Death Won’t Take My Friends From Me!” The belt says as she switches her Parka power. Out comes the gun and she creates a wall of ice between two trees, just as the worms are trying to get away. This leaves them facing two riders with no easy way out.

“There. I’m sure you can handle it from here.”

The green rider sighed heavily, as if fighting was too much of a burden, and with a single kick eliminated both of the enemies. A swift movement of his hand then removed his zecter from his belt, which hopped away happily. Revealed was a rugged, homeless man in his twenties, ripped clothes clothes and black knee-high steel plated jump boots with spurs. His pitch black hair hung unkempt over his forehead.  Yaguruma turned around to the mysterious other person, his head still lowered and only his gaze raised to meet hers. “Are you pitying me?”, he spitted in his low and husky voice. “You killed some of these monsters to ensure the survival of this pitiful being that I am. You’re so cruel.”

A grunt escaped Tendou’s lips as he was face to face with the self-proclaimed hopeless husk.  He felt like he had his back against the wall but he knew he just knew he can’t do much without escalating an already delicate situation.  He felt like he was in a cage with a wounded and aggravated animal and it wasn’t too far from the truth either.

Once Yaguruma backed off he regained his composure. This was troublesome very troublesome indeed. How can one help someone so full of scorn he wondered.  If anything got too crazy he can call upon the Kabuto Zector.  His face showed he was dead serious in these very precarious moments. One more word out of him can probably set Sou off and where would that leave Souji at?

He waited for a couple of seconds to get a reply, but apparently he wasn’t worth enough for the other man to raise his voice at him. A deep sigh escaped Yagurumas’ lips as he averted his gaze yet again. Perhaps he was captured in an even worse situation than he had orginally expected.  “I remember our numerous duels, of which you won every single one.” It didn’t matter if it was about fighting or about cooking, Yaguruma never stood a slightest chance against the other man. He used to be a bad loser, but now he was nothing more than just a loser. “You won. Are you happy now? I won’t challenge you any further...” Finally, he turned around but didn’t walk away yet. “I would daresay that I hope you find happiness, but hope is not within reach for the shadow of a human that I am.”

Brows furrowing at the accusation the red Rider huffs. To say Souji was insulted was an understatement. “Answer me this do you think I’m the one to make light of one’s situation?” he asked showing the more caring side to him.  Yaguruma inadvertently slapped him in the face with saying such a thing. “I was taught better than to laugh at someone’s plights.” he adds firmly. Unwavering in his words and posture he shakes his head. “I am many things but remember this I am not cruel despite making harsh decisions.”

Souji Tendou was many things but he was nowhere heartless to laugh at someone who was clearly suffering.  No it wasn’t him if he did such things not at all. You can call him heartless for not sparing Worms any mercy but people know he doesn’t kill without reason.  Another huff and a few seconds after he relaxed out of his defensive stance. He may look the part of composed but he was still prickly.

Not cruel? This very man who dared to call himself a nice person was the very cause for Yaguruma’s loss of pride, faith and everything he had ever lived for. However, always walking in his shadows was something he had come to terms with. Now, it was part of his self and accompanied him in his thoughts wherever he went. “You have always laughed at me, Tendou Souji.”, he declared, head lowered and only his gaze raised to meet the other riders’ eyes. “You have always bestowed me with pitiful smiles and continued to walk in the light with your head held high.” For a brief moment the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was forcing a painful smile. Slowly, step by step, he started to walk towards him. As the distance between the men grew closer, he raised his head more and more to look at the slightly taller person. Yaguruma stopped right in front of him, reaching out to grab him by the collar and shake him awake - but stopping mid-motion before he could even touch him. “You’re too bright. A creation such as yourself would burn me if I ever dared to lay hand on you.” With these words he stepped beck again. He had tried hard to overcome his fight with neverending darkness, but in this very moment he embraced and fully accepted his pitiful self. “I bet even now you’re just laughing at this loser I am.”

It’s been a while since the ex shadow trooper leader had last shown his face to society. He stayed in the shadows, underground, and just sometimes had to give in to the burdern of being a so called hero for justice. How troublesome. Society was equally troublesome and so was the light emitted by many of his former colleagues. With a deep sigh Yaguruma released from his henshin, his zecter hopping away happily. For a brief moment his eyes followed the small mechanical being, before he slowly turned around to lay his gaze upon the other rider who had just fought with him against some worms. In his eyes, no joy or light or any reflection at all could be seen, and it felt as if his soul had completely left his body. He was just a shadow of his former self, but there was still one thing he utterly despised.  “Did you just come here to stare at me and laugh at me?”, he mourned with a dark and husk voice. “A loser like me doesn’t deserve to be stared at by a being of light such as yourself.”

From behind her ally, Kamen Rider Banshee, in her Scheherazade form appears, solidifying from a purple and gold smoke. 

“Is there anything I can do to help you out here?” She offers, projecting a  scimitar weapon from her belt.

[hellhopper]

With one last strong kick, Yaguruma finished off one of the worms he was currently fighting. There still were two enemies left when he heard a female voice of someone who had appeared behind him. What was she thinking, that he couldn’t handle these eyesores on his own? That he was weak? It was probably true that he was, an an eyesore himself on top of it, but that didn’t give anyone the right to act so lowly towards him.  Without canceling his henshin, the rider in green and black armor just moved his head a bit to look at her out of the corners of his eyes. “Did you come to pity a loser like me...?”, he questioned with a dark and pained voice, followed by a heavy sigh. “Do as you please. Your light shines too bright to take answers from my darkness seriously anyways.”

Tendou: My grandmother once said if you hunt something you have to catch it.

Yaguruma: your family is weird.

★ - sad headcanon

Light. What even does it mean when the hoppers talk about trying to search their light? Is it a straw in the darkness they can hold onto to not give in to despair completely? After Kageyama’s death, Yaguruma talked about seeking the light once more, for the both of them. Maybe he doesn’t want to escape his personal hell, not without his partner, but instead of having despair take him over, he clenched his light which is Kageyama. He is it who made him go on.

☆ - happy headcanon

There are rarely any happy moments concerning those two. Their most happy times are sharing a bowl of instant ramen after days of hunger. Only then there exists some kind of piece and understanding in between them not even darkness can disturb.

♡ - romantic headcanon

Yaguruma can be quite the romantic person… if he has the means to be, that is. Before falling to darkness he loved preparing extraordinary dinner all on his own, and after that only his amazing skills to juggle with words like nobody else are left.

∇ - old age/aging headcanon

As we all know, Kageyama won’t experience aging with his early death. For Yaguruma it depends wether he manages to find light once again. If not, he may be doomed to meet his ends for his own carelessness before his time comes.

————————

Don’t want to be

Sly and defile you

Desecrate my mind

And rely on you

————————  

In the darkness of the night my steps fade away. My insane laughter is devoured by the pouring rain.

What I laugh about I don’t know. Is it the world’s way of looking down on me - or is it my own gaze raised from mud and dirt towards the gleaming sunlight I abjured long ago?

Maybe I laugh about both; the despicable self of the eternal loser I am, and about the fate which turned me into that.
