↬The Tengu I Once Loved↫Sara x Reader

Heads up: I've got a somewhat important announcement at the end of this oneshot.

--------

Ever since she had been taken in by the Kujou clan and joined the Tenryou Commission, Sara was rarely ever home. Sometimes it felt lonely in the house without your beloved girlfriend there to keep your company, but someway or another you managed to make do with it. Whenever Sara was home in the evenings, you always made an effort to savor every moment you had with her before she'd leave again the next day for work.

It'd been years since you started dating and only about a month since the Shogun enforced the Vision Hunt Decree, and Sara was as busy as ever. As General of the Tenryou Commission, your tengu girlfriend saw to it that the Shogun's orders were enforced and carried out. Day by day you watched and listened to news of people's visions being forcefully taken.

Before the decree had been made, you always took a stroll out in the city and spent your days exploring the beautiful nation of Inazuma. But with shogunate soldiers everywhere you didn't want to risk being caught and having your vision taken away. Staying at home as much as possible was the best option you had until the decree went away, if it ever would.

It was a miracle your vision hadn't been taken yet. Sara has known since the day you met her that you held a vision. And yet, she still hasn't made a move to attempt anything to take away your vision and you were hoping that it would stay that way for a while. You trusted her with all your life and you've known her longer than you've known anyone else. But knowing how much she glorified the Shogun, you feared for the day when Sara would confront you, though you prayed to the archons that that day would never come.

Whilst you stayed in the comfort of your shared home as you had always done since the beginning of the Vision Hunt Decree, the tengu warrior had taken her sixth vision. The owner had attempted retaliation against Sara, yet was unsuccessful as shogunate soldiers threatened and used brunt force to keep the vision holder victim back.

An unmoving, stern look of dispassion was apparent on Sara's face as she gripped the newly taken vision in her hands, her back turned as she led her soldiers back to Inazuma City. As her heels clicked against the concrete stone and the wooden planks leading up to the statue of the Omnipresent God, anyone in the vicinity who saw or heard the general cowered in fear.

The newly stolen vision was placed on the statue along with the other visions that had been taken earlier. Sara let out a sigh as she allowed her mind to wander back to you and she wondered how you were doing in the lonely comfort of your shared home. For a few seconds, her demeanor softened at the thought of her significant other.

"General Kujou, clan leader Kujou Takayuki has asked for you," one of the shogunate warriors abruptly brought Sara out of her thoughts. Standing as straight as he could, the soldier planted the end of his spear into the ground, standing at attention to respect his general.

The tengu let out a sigh and dismissed the soldier saying she would be there momentarily. Her golden eyes flickered back to the Omnipresent God and Sara looked at all the visions before spinning on her heel towards the Tenryou Commission. Though she somewhat enjoyed her work as general, she couldn't wait until it was over because then she'd be able to spend time with you, her one and only.

Sighing, Sara pushed away the idea of how she would eventually have to take your vision away. If the time came, the tengu herself would gladly give up her own vision if it would mean seeing the Shogun's orders of eternity continue onwards.

Pushing open the door to Takayuki, her adoptive father's office door, she was greeted by the sight of him sitting at his desk.

"Father, you called for me?" she stepped forward until she was merely a few feet away from his desk.
