THE CASE CALLED LOVE. | ##shikanoinheizou

You were in the wild, you were just having some time for yourself, You weren't in the mood to search in the wild for some ingredients to bring home. You were in the Chinju Forest admiring the view as well as calming yourself. “Hm.”

“Is there a human there?” You jumped out of a sudden as you heard a voice say, It came from the statue. “What—?” You said as you took a peek at the surroundings. “Is the statue talking?” You said as you poked it on the side. “Hey, you rude human!” You jolted as you heard the voice again, The statue was indeed talking to you. “Ah, I'm sorry!” You said. “If you are sorry, then play with Kichiboushi.”

“Kichiboushi??” You asked a tanuki came in your direction. You giggled, you find them cute. Most people find tanuki annoying in Inazuma, because of their mischievous nature but that's how they usually are— mischievous but doesn't bring ill intention, You were not scared of them at all. Given that you grew up in an isolated place in tataratsuna, and lived practically in the wild.

Ayaka was with her brother going up to go home to the Kamisato Estate, She stopped as she heard a girl's laugh. “Ayaka? Is something the matter?” Her brother, Ayato asked. “I have something to do brother, You can go on without me. I'll go home later.” Ayaka said. Ayato pats his sister's head as he left to go home, at the same time Ayaka followed the owner of the voice.

She hid behind a big tree to see a person she wasn't expecting to see. Was it Irin? Or was it someone who was presumed dead all over the years? She covered her mouth, tears starting to form in her eyes.

No, even if the two of you were twins. Ayaka knew she couldn't have this wrong, she knows it was you. You were alive.

On the day of your Sixth birthday, Ayaka and Kazuha attended it but unfortunately, you were nowhere to be found and tomorrow next day, Irin— your sister called them crying saying that you died suddenly, which made their world apart.

Ayaka saw your smiling face, which made her tear up, even more, you were walking away saying bye to the tanuki. Ayaka wanted to approach you but was too afraid that you might be taken back so she decided not to, You were very happy as you waved your hands in the air to go home. As you got out of the Chinju Forest you saw someone fighting a Cryo Abyss Mage. It was the person you kept bumping into these past few days.

“It's you again Ms. Irin— or should I say, Ms. Thief?” You sighed. “Please do not call me by that name, I told you many times, You have mistaken me for someone.” You said, he brought his hands to his chin thus examining you closely he brought his face closer to you which made your cheeks flush. “What are you doing!? You perv—” You said. The man only smiled at you. “I'm not a pervert. My name is Shikanoin Heizou,” he said making you look away, he was very close to you. “Can you get away?—” You asked.

“Tell me your name first, then I might consider. Otherwise, if you don't I might hand you to the Tenryou Police Station.”

“Alright, Alright! My name is Y/N! Now can you get away?” You said still blushing. “My name is Y/N, not Ms. Thief.” You rolled your eyes at him. “And my name is Heizou.”, You scoff. “Nice to meet you, I hope we don't meet anymore.” You said as you walked passed him.

Heizou was lost in the thought. The other person is elegant and reserved, while the other person is carefree and more feisty. But how can a person look like someone so much? That only leads to something— They share the same blood.

Heizou remembers that the Yamashita family only has one daughter, is that the case? He returns to his office greeted by a certain general. “Oh? So you do have plans on returning in here?” She said. Heizou smiled at her. “Come on, Now General I was wandering around for clues!” Sara clicked her tongue as she slam the papers on Heizou's desk. This is information about the people that got their vision seized.

“The Vision hunt decree will have Its milestone soon, The Shogun will personally see come down from Tenshukaku to host the Vision Hunt Decree herself.” Heizou only gave the superior a nod.

You were again outside the wild, searching for something valuable out in the open. “I need to go home soon, Mom is alone in the house.” You mumbled carefully. Just then you again saw Heizou. You were tired at this point just why are you crossing paths with him so much.

“Oh? if it isn't Miss Y/N.” The red hair man said with a rather mocking tone, “Why are you here so late?” He questioned you, you looked at him. “Searching food in the wild.” You said at him with a serious look on your face.

“Then may I, join you?” You glared at him. “Suit yourself.” You two walked near the seashore, you saw much black back brass on the sea, Heizou looks at you. “What are you doing?” He says. “I'm fishing, quiet down.” You touched the sea water as you applied electro causing the fishes to die and float in an instant.

“You're a vision holder?” You gave him a nod. “Why are you revealing it so recklessly don't you think that's dangerous? What if I hand you to the Tenryou Police?” Heizou asked you which made you stop looking at him.

“I don't care. You would've done that the moment you caught me stealing, but you didn't.” You said bluntly. You were right, Heizou has the authority to arrest you but why didn't he do so. “Then, what do you think about the Vision Hunt Decree?”

“I don't understand it either why our Electro Archon suddenly decided to do so, but I believe she has her reasons it's just I don't agree with it.” You said.

“Some people longed for a vision because they are weak and vulnerable perhaps having one makes them feel secure and strong, and because of the decree implemented by your archon you lose everything don't you think that's too cruel?”

“Well, I don't blame the Raiden Shogun either. She is not someone but a God, She knows what she longs for if she thinks that the key to true eternity is this hunt then so be it, We are mere mortals we cannot surpass the ideals of the Gods.”

Truthfully, You crossed the word Archon in your dictionary. You never cared about the Gods. “Hm, I see,” Heizou said, in truth, he was shocked by your response. “Then, I'll go first Mr. Shikanoin. My mother is waiting for me at home.” You said, the man only smiled at you. “Goodnight Y/N~,” He said.

He can't help but get intrigued by you more and more. “The more I meet you the more you become more intriguing Y/N.”
