β±β°β±Akaran stared down regretfully when he learned that Hikaru barely had any time with his mother as well. Seeing the young man struggling against these emotions of rage and sorrow was heart-wrenching for the oni. However, he did feel some hope for the kid when Akihiko made his strong suggestion that they find some of the more sentimental inheritance items from Keiko. When Akihiko asked if Hikaru could wait in the village, Akaran immediately shook his head. "No, I don't want him to be alone anymore." He returned Aki's squeeze of his hand as he looked at him and was referring to Hikaru. Aka wanted their wedding plans to go on as scheduled but he believed that they could get married and care for Aki's son at the same time. Akaran looked back at Hikaru and smiled kindly. "You can just live with us and then we'll go searching after the wedding. We travel a lot but we'll probably need to settle down for a little while for the wedding planning. After we find your mom's stuff you can choose your own path, but you should know that we're here for you, Aki junior." Akaran figured that the boy needed a lot of TLC and support after all he had been through. Maybe this would be an opportunity to help mend the father and son's relationship. Either way, he was not in favor of leaving Hikaru behind.

Akihiko didn't think Hikaru was going to go for what Akaran was saying since they were strangers, but the kid nodded emphatically at the offer. "I can stay? Really?" Akihiko's voice caught in his throat at the kid's excitement to be around him - them, he corrected - but he nodded in affirmation. "You can stay as long as you want. I was gonna get a formal summer home here in Arashigakure." He shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm not your keeper, but you're definitely welcome. Akaran is excited to see you."
He let the words hang for a second before clearing his throat and averting his eyes a little. "And... of course, I would like that, too." The kid looked like he was going to cry again, but then he got up with his superhuman quickness and tackled Akaran with a hug, squeezing him tightly. When he'd be released, he'd do the same to Akihiko, though his arms would come around the mercenary's neck and he had to fight his reflexes to throw the kid over his shoulder and onto the table. "Okay, okay, now make sure you eat. Can't have you scrawny. Especially not if you're gonna be around Akaran, he fools around really hard," Akihiko mused with a smile, remembering how the samurai liked to roughhouse even before it escalated to something more gratifying.
The kid sat back down with a pensive look on his face. "So you two are like, together? So I get to see both of you?" He looked hopeful. Then his face contorted a little. "I'm not gonna be forced to eat frog, am I?" Akihiko rolled his eyes dramatically. "You can eat what you want, despite your lack of taste. Just write down a list and we can secure it," he said easily, but the kid looked nervous. "So, um, I don't really know how to write."
β±β°β±Akaran was heartened that Akihiko agreed to his insistence that Hikaru stay with them. His heart sank at the idea of making Hikaru wait around for them by himself in the village. He laughed when Hikaru tackled him and he responded with a bear hug in kind. When Akihiko stated that Akaran "fools around hard" he winked at him. "Only with you." Aka flirted as he remembered the myriad of times that their playful wrestling turned to romance. When Hikaru asked if they were together he nodded affirmatively as he thought of times that they were not together. He came up short as they were basically never apart since they first met. "Yes, Aki and I are never apart." Akaran giggled and wrapped an arm around his partner's shoulders. However, he was forced to playfully punch him in the shoulder with his available hand for being mean about the frogs again. "You better be nice or I'm keeping your son for myself." Akaran joked but in all seriousness, he somewhat understood that he had an important part to play in bringing the estranged father and son together. They had an inherently complicated road ahead of them for establishing their relationship and Akaran wanted to help rather than hurt that process. However, Akaran thought that Hikaru was just precious and pleasant as the natural extension of the love of his life. "I can help you with that, Aki Junior." The oni smiled widely at his offer to help Hikaru with writing. He knew how to write even though spelling and grammar were not his strong suit. At the very least he knew how to write in such a way to convey simple messages. "So is marrying Aki gonna make me your stepmom? I don't think I could take Kei-ko's place. How's that work?" Akaran was actually serious but was likely to make Hikaru laugh with his typically stupid statements that were not well thought out.

Akaran's repetition was finally getting through to Akihiko, who was figuring out just how serious the samurai was about keeping Hikaru. The man had barely met the kid - and didn't even have any societal or blood obligations - but already felt some kind of allegiance to him. It was, well, a little indicative of the kindness that drove Akaran to a point of craziness. That unlimited compassion made him stupid in a lot of ways, but it also made him live a life that was hard to regret, so Akihiko figured it wasn't all bad. But Hikaru drew a weird face at Akaran's comment about replacing his mom. "I'm not calling you Mom. You can be Dad, and Akihiko can be Pops."
"POPS? You're already downgrading me to Pops? I'm not taking this disrespect." Akihiko grabbed the frog stick, which was survived by only two bites worth, and waved it in the air as he stuck his nose up. "I'm leaving," he announced dramatically in the face of Hikaru's bubbling laughter. However, he caught Akaran's eyes and gestured in the direction of their hotel before continuing his stomping out of the eating area. He had noticed, without a doubt, that the kid's deflation in front of them at the table a few minutes prior had been more than just sadness. It was also a kind of tired that came from grief and long travel. He was sure the kid would be in a small coma when they got back.
β±β°β±Akaran laughed heartily at Akihiko being playful with his son. He found the moment rather wholesome and was glad to see Aki having fun with this opportunity to develop new familial bonds. "Pops, pops, pops, pops." Akaran giggled out this repetition and got up from his seat to playfully skip up and down the street. "I like it! It's cute." He ruffled up Aki's hair and continued singing a simple song with only the lyric of "pops" over and over. As they checked into the hotel he loosely hugged Aki from behind with his arms over Aki's shoulders.

Akihiko relented in Akaran's touch, leaning into it even though the samurai was a traitorous b*****d for letting Hikaru even think about calling him pops. Hikaru followed them through the city and was even stifling yawns by the time they made it to their hotel room. Akihiko needed to buy another room but before he could explain that to Hikaru, the kid had already made himself comfortable on their large, plush bed and was already snoring. "Can you believe this kid?" He snorted, then let himself come to the kid's side to run a hand through his hair as he slept. "He's a lot like you, in that respect. Doing things without thinking too much about them. I'm glad he doesn't stress himself out about all the possible ways things can go wrong like I do."
As if in evidence of his point, his face fell a little and he could distantly see all the ways Hikaru would be unhappy being around Akihiko. Fatherhood was so suddenly thrust upon him and Akaran was already a natural at it, it seemed. Akihiko didn't know what he could do to fix things, or what he'd do if Hikaru didn't genuinely come around to him. His voice was traitorously hoarse when he whispered to Akaran, "Do you think the schism will keep aging him?"
β±β°β±Akaran tried to hold back laughter when he turned around and saw Hikaru snoozing right in the middle of their bed. He finally let loose a hearty chuckle when Akihiko asked if he could believe him. "Little dude is all tuckered up..." Akaran noted as he tried to withhold a loud "aww" that would surely wake the lad up while watching Aki run his hand through Hikaru's hair. Listening to Aki make a comparison was interesting and not a matter that Aka had the insight to pick up on himself. He approached Aki and snuggled into his neck again. "And just like me, he'll have a lot to learn from a man like you." Akaran stated affectionately. He always felt safe knowing that he had a smart guy on his arm like Akihiko who was going to worry and watch out for him. When Aki asked about the schism Aka responded immediately with his own worried uncertainty. "I-I don't know." Aka stammered as he looked down at him. He wondered if Hikaru was going to age up to be an old man and die next year. He tried to keep his mind from jumping to the worst-case scenario. "He said something about Zel-el and aging. Maybe if we talk to one of those Zelel religion people then they can help us fix the aging?" This was the best idea that Akaran could come up with for the time being. He figured that they would have time tomorrow to investigate.

Akaran's casual praise was something Akihiko was still adjusting to; something he initially wanted to shrug off, but it was a habit that was ill-suited for the mercenary. He let the compliment roll over him, though it brought a smile to his lips, and he listened to Akaran as the samurai considered the problem at hand. "What would I do without you?" He asked after Akaran suggested going to see a Zelelist. Thank the powers that be that brought Akaran to him, huh?
Akaran eventually fell asleep too, and Akihiko himself struggled to sleep as his mind raced over all of the possibilities. He rose to his feet once dawn entered the hotel room as chunks of sunlight through the window. His over-thinking gave him a plan of action, so he left the room quietly in order to seek out Zelelists in their place of worship.
He came back to a fully-illuminated hotel room; either he hadn't left the curtains partially closed or one of the boys had welcomed the day with open arms. He tried to wipe the frustration off of his face as he entered, but he was a little too slow and had an aura of anger about him until he closed and locked the door. By that point, his shoulders had fallen and his expression had softened, but Akaran would be able to recognize just how unhappy he was. "They know nothing," he said as answer before Akaran could ask how things went.
"On the subject of time, though, we still have an appointment at several florists in town today. It's time to commit to some flowers, because if I get forced to settle for baby's breath and carnations, I'll just burn everything down."
β±β°β±When Akaran woke up he found that Hikaru was cuddled up to him which brought a sleepy smile to his face. He gave his soon-to-be stepson a hug before tossing his hair to wake him up. Akaran looked around the hotel for Akihiko and opened the curtains. When he could not find Aki in the bathroom or the hallway he opened the drawers to check for him as well. He had the lost puppy dog look while Aki was temporarily apart from him. However, it was not long before Aki would return and ease Aka's worries. He was disappointed to learn that the Zelelists were clueless but he knew better than to press the issue while Aki was frustrated like this. When he started talking about flowers Aka smiled and finally had some input of his own. "Why don't we find some calla lilies for you and then my mom can bring the red orchids for me? You know that tons of 'em grow up there." Akaran was chipper as he got ready for the day. Calla Lillies tended to remind him of Aki because of their yellow center like his eyes and the white surrounding it like his hair.

Hikaru grumbled something at Akaran's touch, much like Akihiko in the sense that he was difficult to wake when he chose to sleep in. The kid turned his face into the pillow when the curtains were pulled open and tried to fall back asleep until Akihiko returned and the two spoke of flowers. "I've never seen red orchids." Hikaru sat up as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"They only grow in specific places," Akihiko explained as he considered the suggestions. "Well, how many oni are coming? I worry about the effects of the flowers if your mother tries to bring much of the tribe." He phrased it neutrally, but he did genuinely dread that she'd bring a large amount of them; the warriors were rowdy enough to threaten any event. "Not that I want to limit the amount of family you bring. I think it'd be nice, even if I have none of my own to fill out my side of the aisle."
It took him a moment to realize that that wasn't true anymore. "Um. Unless you'd like to come, Hikaru." He looked at his son with uncertainty, but the kid looked a little excited. "There's gonna be lots of oni? I heard they've all got super big horns!" The kid gestured from his forehead to show the size of the horns, and Akihiko wasn't sure if that was racist or not so he looked to Akaran, at a loss for words.
"If we had red orchids and calla lilies, the theme would likely be red-and-white primarily with a yellow accent. I guess that makes sense," he mused, looking between himself and Akaran pointedly. "The more linear shape of the lilies and the more rounded shape of the red orchids rules out hogarth, crescent, and round arrangements but taller ones like the L-shape would look nice... probably could do something more rigid if we incorporated imported bamboo but if we bring in traditional elements-""So are we looking at flowers or what?" Akihiko removed his hand from his chin as he was pulled from his thoughts, turning to Hikaru with mild surprise at the kid's continued enthusiasm. But then he laughed a little and shrugged. "I guess we are, huh?"
β±β°β±Akaran shrugged at Akihiko's concern as he thought about what the first fire mountain oni they met said. "Ma and the others said not to listen to what Ouma says. He's weird. The only thing he was right about was the herbal mix for hangovers but I learned about that from my ma already." He was referring to the "love brudduhs" oni named Ouma who was more or less the tribe outcast that they kept around because he always meant well. "Yeah, they only grow on the fire mountain. Where I was born. My name actually means red orchid." He shared the fun facts with Hikaru supporting what Akihiko was saying and hoping that they would sate the child's interest. He then laughed when Hikaru mentioned the horns despite finding it heartwarming that Akihiko would have at least someone on his side. "The biggest horns! Half of my family are oni from the fire mountain in the Land of Iron. The other half are samurai. Not many from the Zaishin half will be there but I do have some cousins that I like." Aka wanted to fill Hikaru in on his colorful family history without the sadder details. He hoped that the kid would just find it cool. Now that Musunde was improving samurai and yokai relations, Akaran felt that this was an opportunity to bring the cultures together in a joyous event.
Akaran stared blankly at Akihiko when he started talking about floral decorations in detail. As long as his clan flower was there and Akihiko got what he wanted then he did not care about these complex details. "Uh-huh." He nodded to pretend like he was listening but once it was time to go he hoisted Hikaru up on his back. Akaran gently held the lad's knees as he walked out of the room and allowed Akihiko to close and lock the door behind them. He hopped up and down as he walked to try to shake a giggle from Hikaru. "Y'know Aki, if you want to invite any of your friends from Rivers to fill out your side, you can." Akaran broached the subject awkwardly because he did not like the majority of the mercenary types. He did feel some benefit of the doubt that maybe there were at least some people from Akihiko's old life who were not so bad and that he would practice good judgment on who to invite.

Akihiko led Akaran and Hikaru into the streets of the village, considering the color elements of the red orchids and the lilies as they walked. Akaran's offer did catch him off-guard though. "I don't think there'd be anyone on my side, otherwise..." His voice was carefully neutral, but the quietness of it revealed how upset he really was. "The Yamaoka family would come without a doubt but they're all I have. I think... Akaran, I want to go all out. I want everyone to see us. To see you. What if we invited everyone?" He had the money for a huge wedding and damn it, he wanted one. He wanted it to be legendary. The event of the century. They could invite many of their allies in the Land of Iron, anyone in the village who wanted to come, and many from Konoha - especially vendors.
He stopped walking to look at Akaran to help betray just how serious he was, but he burst into laughter at the sight of Hikaru handling Akaran's horns with awe. "What? They're really cool!" Hikaru's defense only made Akihiko laugh harder. He wasn't sure what his son's obsession with oni/horns was coming from, but at least the kid had interests other than wanting to kill him. Before he'd enter the first of many flower shops, he turned to hear Akaran's answer.
β±β°β±The pea-brained Akaran scratched his head in confusion. "I guess as long as our loved ones are in the front row..." He had to shake away a blush when his partner said that he wanted to show him off to the world. Akaran then laughed when he looked up and noticed Hikaru's childish fixation on his horns. When they arrived at the florist he set Hikaru down and gave him a quick hug before pointing to a nearby arcade. He then placed an ample amount of money in the boy's hand. "Your dad and I are gonna do some boring adult stuff for a while like picking out flowers. Go to the arcade and we'll come get you in a couple hours when we're done." Akaran then ruffled the kid's hair and smiled before entering with Aki into the flower shop. They would browse for a few minutes after warding off the insistent florist's recommendations. While Akihiko was distracted Akaran would peel away to hide in a storage closet that was near the bathroom and outside of the main shopping area. If Akihiko went looking for him then Aka would suddenly swing the door open and grab him before pulling him into the plant supply closet. Once he did so he wrapped his arms tightly around his man's lower back before kissing him intensely. "It's finally just us." Aka muttered huskily between kisses with a lustful smile.

It was pleasing to see Akaran blush, though Akihiko was initially confused at Akaran sending Hikaru away. Didn't he want the kid to see all the pretty flowers? He had managed to listen to the hostess without distraction for a bit before he realized Akaran was no longer around them; he went off in search of his fiance only to be ambushed into a closet. Akihiko had squeaked at the sudden change, though he relaxed as Akaran wrapped his arms around him. "Well, if I had known this was your plan..." He took advantage of Akaran's mouth, no longer able to pay attention to the noises outside the closet as the blood rushed to his ears. "Sorry we didn't get to enjoy the hotel room as it was intended," he murmured against Akaran's lips as his hand traveled south. "Think you can keep quiet for me?" He kept one hand up to grasp Akaran's face, thumb stroking his jawline as they kissed. His other hand was firm in groping the samurai's sword, unrelenting despite the abrasive dryness between them.
β±β°β±He enjoyed hearing Aki's squeak when he plucked him out of the hallway. Akaran's hands pawed at Aki's abs and chest as he smiled deviously. "Not a bad plan to get you alone huh?" The samurai would take brief gulps of air as he intimately kissed Aki. When Aki lamented that they did not have much privacy at the hotel now Aka brushed it off. "This is more fun." There were few things that Akaran relished more than sneaking off with the love of his life. He found it to be more exciting although he was surprised that they had never been caught before. When asked if he could keep quiet Aka only responded by opening the mercenary's shirt and kissing his pecs. He bit his soft pale skin a bit in order to leave a massive mark as he enjoyed Aki's touch. When he separated his lips from his chest he looked into Aki's eyes and spoke again. "Don't these marks embarrass you? You're always so proud." Aka teased after poking the lovebite before diving in to mark the other side of his chest in an effort to shake loose a sound from Aki. When Aka's lips were freed again he looked over Aki's torso and blushed deeply. "God, I love your veins." His voice was heavy before he started softly kissing his chest.

Styles granted from rewards may be learned but do not carry the overwhelming property and the user is capped out at 5 styles. βΊ Kyotoryuu [ Signature Style ] | Kote Art | Eight Gates
Personal Attributes β±β°β± Swordless Swordsman | As a fastidious student of Kyotoryuu, he is able to use small and medium blade bukijutsu styles through his "knife hands" causing them to act as taijutsu techniques in effect while consuming bukijutsu slots. β±β°β± Wandering Warrior | The Soko Sento and Kote Art styles can be used with an unarmored body. β±β°β± Unyielding Willow | Grants [2] stat points rather than [1] for the mastery of stages three and six of the Dance of the Meadow style for a total of [4] stat points. The Endurance stat cap of the Kaguya increases by [1] to a maximum of [9]. Finally, if half the resource cost of a bone armor technique is spent then it gains the attributes of armor and this does not cost a combat action. If the bone armor technique is E-Rank then it is considered very light armor, D-C rank for light armor, B-A rank for medium armor, and S-S+ rank for heavy armor. β±β°β± Martial Paragon | The favored fighting styles of the Kaguya are Taijutsu and Bukijutsu and, as a result, the Kaguya is able to start off with 2 additional taijutsu or bukijutsu styles. Finally, all complex Dance of the Meadow techniques are treated as spiritual in collision with other complex techniques. β±β°β± Curse Born | Forbidden Seals, including Curse of the Blood Orchid, owned by this rpc have an additional 100 corrupted nature chakra stored in their seal. This increases their cap from 400 to 500. Also, the Kaguya is able to recover faster from the drawbacks of forbidden seals following the deactivation of the seal making the stat reductions last for three posts rather than five. β±β°β± Mountain Clan | Oni are able to korabo suiton and sake techniques without the sake being reduced in strength. These can be korabo'd for one activation every two posts. In this circumstance, sake creation techniques are unnecessary but an augment needs to be paid for to korabo with the suiton technique. The Oni starts with [2] additional taijutsu styles upon creation. β±β°β± Clever Brew Master | The Oni receives two additional customs per body rank to produce new brew types. They are able to cast bloodline techniques through somatic movements. Their saketon pool is increased by 100. The Oni receives [1] point of strength and endurance at D-Rank and a second point of strength and endurance at B-Rank. β±β°β± Ogrelord | The Oni's saketon pool is increased by 200. Sake used by the Oni remove or restore chakra from the target two ranks below the rank brewed for poisonous or medicinal brews respectively. The Oni restores an additional 50 saketon per post passively. The Oni's stamina is increased by 200 and taijutsu techniques cost 10 stamina less at a minimum of 5. β±β°β± It's All Ogre Now | Akaran's oni heritage allows him to add an additional 100 chakra to his saketon reserves and cannot be increased beyond this.
