Don’t follow me
@dangodaifuku made great work with reverse universe:
https://dangodaifuku.tumblr.com/post/178975194814/stop-following-me-reverse-normal-guy-saizo-and Since she’s friend of mine, I decided to write something inspired by her amazing work. All of “world” is what @dangodaifuku invented. MC is ninja woman from Iga, and Saizo is man, living peacefully in Sengoku peroid. Everything is the same, except their gender. As always, sorry for mistakes, non logic in sentences and stuff. English is not my first language. There you go~
Mission. Only it was important in the life of the ninja. Mission and the chill, darkness that surrounds us. We were taught to be like ONI, demons devoid of feelings. The training was too heavy for those who survived to break away from the schemes that were instilled in us.
My feet barely touched the ground when I ran through the woods. I was not sure what was driving me. What moved my body so much forward. I almost failed and lost my life. It was not particularly expensive for me, but I was not someone who would give it up without much reason.
Especially now.
I met him without any major problems. He was still looking as cordial as he was a few years ago, under that cherry tree. He is grown up. His small arms turned into a strong one, and the inner strength he wielded displayed itself in every step of his life. Like when he accidentally found himself in the wrong place and the wrong time, unwittingly helping me get away with life.
Maybe that's why now, after another finished mission, I was in a hurry to the city? Maybe.
He sat on the porch, staring at the moon. I jumped silently to the tree nearby, watching him sigh and ripple his dark hair. Something was bothering him. I could see clearly how he frowned, and his distinctly deepening irritation was funny enough to made me laugh softly.
He looked up immediately, looking around.
„Huh? MC?” he said. I sighed and jumped off the tree, landing nearby. ”You came back!”
Radiant, he stood up and walked toward me. Why did he drag it to me? I was not good to him. I just wanted to make sure he was fine, and as usual, I ended up interacting with him. I should have been more careful, but the truth was that I wanted to be close. Although it was not possible, my interest in an ordinary civilian was to end with his death.
He froze, and I realized that I was all in blood. I never thought about why it did not bother me. That was my way of life, and wading in someone else's blood was part of it. But his eyes, full of terror, drilled into mine ... in mine what? Heart? I did not have it for a long time, and yet ... I felt pain when he saw me like that. He must have disgusted me.
"You should have slept for a long time," I growled, turning toward the well. Some part of me wanted to wash away my sins and came back... but the other one told me to stay and scare him enough to finally realize him what danger I was.
I could hear his footsteps too well, the rustling of clothes as he held out his hand to catch me.
„You're hurt!” only panic in his voice was able to keep me from escaping now. His warm fingers wrapped around my skin as he stopped me. However, one look on how his beautiful hands gets dirty with blood, that has not managed to dry up yet... so that I return to my senses.
" Let me go, Saizo” the cold in my voice was felt within a few miles. He froze.
His feelings were clearly visible. He never had to learn to hide them, so now the whole galaxy has passed in front of me - fear turning into a surprise, surprise, turning into pain, pain turning into ... I did not want to know what. I did not want to know what was meant by the look that his warm brown eyes were sending me. He was the sun that warmed my body and soul. He could not be my Sun.
I felt something squeezing my interior, so it was hard to breathe. In a fraction of a second I fought off what that feeling what was rises in me. What raised in him, I also had to kill. There was no room for his feelings for me. He was in too much danger.
Saizo did not blink. I hit him by wall with impetus, pushing him hard against it. Kunai was painfully pressed against his neck when I gave up my irritation ... though not enough to cut his skin. I jerked his kimono, forcing him to get closer to me. The pulse on his neck beat quickly, and the pupils widened. I felt the warmth of his body close to mine.
"Stop following me," I growled softly, looking into his eyes. His innocent look drilled into my soul. Now I injured him ... and I hated every second when I did it ... but there was no other option to give him a peaceful, safe life. I could not take it anymore. Using one of the techniques I made him freeze for a few seconds and disappeared, with two skilled moves disappearing on the roof.
