No. I mean, some are but they're generally either defending their territory or corrupted by the yakou?

Onmyoji are humans that are trained in fighting ayakashi. Some of them even capture ayakashi and use them to fight against their will.
[Now you see why he was mad about pokemon.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ oh. yea that makes sense now. ]

That's... not cool. Shouldn't they just focus on the ones being controlled? On helping them?

[branches]

They don't care. They think all ayakashi are a threat.


Or well, that's what I thought. And maybe that was the case for most of them. Because we never tried talking.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ sounds like lux's world. ]

Well. That's one way to handle things, I guess. Can't say I wouldn't fight back if someone just attacked me out of nowhere, either.

[branches]

[Nodding.]

Most of them still suck but... There was one I met that... well she had an overprotective big brother too.
[So they bonded.]

[commandertoolbelt]

Was that Lili?

[ trying to keep all these threads straight jeez ]

You must be pretty good at this protector thing to handle all that stuff. Big strong tree vibes, huh?

[branches]

No, her name was Benitobi. She gave me some advice that... it made me angry at the time, but. In the end, she was right.

[Anyway, he huffs.]

Of course. Byakuroku told me I had to grow into a big strong tree so the little bird could rest in my branches. My brother, I mean.

[commandertoolbelt]

Right, right. But only if you stay shorter than me, got it?

[branches]

[Indignant.]

Why should I do that!?

[commandertoolbelt]

Because I like being taller than someone.

[branches]

Settle for being taller than the girls! Mabel and Maya and Rita are all still shorter!

[commandertoolbelt]

Mm, no. I like being taller than you, too.

[branches]

[TCH!!!]

That just makes it all the easier to kick you in the shins.

[commandertoolbelt]

You could do that no matter what!

[branches]

Yeah and the taller you get the more likely it is to take you down!

[commandertoolbelt]

[




this is so aggressive and dumb that leo is just laughing, god ]

[branches]

[There’s nothing romantic or special about this moment. Or even unusual, really. Leo laughing at something he said, that wasn’t a joke, and yet not feeling mean spirited really.

But still, he’s a bit amped up from his shinkicking threats, a bit indignant, and mostly fond. And it’s that weird concoction of emotions that prompts him to finally act on something that’s been lurking at the back of his head, and he leans over to grab Leo’s face and kiss him.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ well, that's one way to shut him up. he stops laughing immediately, thoughts going completely blank with shock. when tsuyu pulls away, leo stares at him in stunned silence, for once no joke or a way to tease on the tip of his tongue. ]

[branches]

... H-heh, I thought that would shut you up.

[HE SAYS, TRYING TO ACT COOL AS IF HE ISN’T MASSIVELY RED IN THE FACE WITH EMBARRASSMENT.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ sdlkfjlsdjg HE PUSHES TSUYU but it's like a weak push ]

D-Don't act like you planned it when your face is that red!

[ and leo's face is red too, so. ]

[branches]

What's me planning anything have to do with it!? What I said is still right??

[commandertoolbelt]

Because you surprised me!

[branches]

In a good or a bad way?

[commandertoolbelt]

Um. [ give him a second for his brain to catch up again. ] Good...?

[ his first kiss... ]

[branches]

You don't sound very sure?

[You can almost see his tsundere hackles raising.]
