The Head Lord and the Rat Thief {Kamisato Ayato FanFiction}

🌸Author's note🌸

🌸

Hello there, my little Genshin fans and Ayato fans and lovers.

Before we get to the story, I would like to give you guys a heads-up about this fanfiction.

1. English is not my first language and I've been struggling with some of the sentences which you may find hard to understand, but I made sure those phrases are some not-so-important aspects of the story.

2. These are some headcanons of my own that I thought it made sense for the fanfiction, and I will present some of them now so that I don't receive hate comments about them like: "This is not how it is, haven't you read the lore?!" I do read the lore, I just added some things up.

> The Kamisato Estate is bigger: bigger mansion, a lot of gardens, stables, training grounds for the guards and the horses and so on. And the Kamisato family also has an estate in the Inazuma city, but it's smaller.

> People with Visions (Allogenes) can teleport via the teleport waypoints (I'll just call them telepoints) and they also can teleport objects or people as long as they touch them or/and they are surrounded by the elemental power of the Vision bearer.

> Ayato and Ayaka have other family members, although they have different family/clan names, like cousins, aunts and so on. It was typical for noble clans back in ancient Japan to have at least two or three children, either because the parents could afford it or for political relationships.

> I added other villages and forests and so on. Since the estate is bigger, Inazuma is bigger too in my mind.

> I made up the clans that answer to the Kamisato clan and I also divided the Yashiro Comission in cultural branches, including visual arts, crafts and different industries. There are about 20 minor clans; Ayato's mother also comes from one of these 20 families.

> Speaking about backgrounds, I made up a historical background for the Shuumatsuban and established it's hierarchy, since we don't have many information about it in the game. I also established some details about the members following the feudal Japan ninja style, their clothes, weapons, training methods and so on.

> It is said that Ayato is not trained in the Shuumatsuban style, but he can find Sayu with ease, compering to the other Shuumatsuban members. In this fanfiction, he was trained as a Shuumatsuban, because it makes sense to me, since he is the leader. Also, considering his protective side towards Ayaka, Ayaka didn't learn the Shuumatsuban training, since it's very difficult and Ayato doesn't want his sister to have anything to do with the games behind the scenes. That being said, she is more trained and very knowledgeable in the samurai style of wielding weapons, as well as Ayato. She is not weaker, she just has another affinity for another fighting style, she takes the path of honorable and elegant samurais.

If I left something out regarding the headcanons that seems important, I will update it later.

3. I've tried to come up with political battles. If something doesn't make sense... please, just leave it be.

4. I made up a lot of things. A LOT. But that's why this is a fanfiction.

5. I've tried my best with the book cover, I am not an artist nor do I know how to photoshop a title.

6. The first chapters might be boring.

With that being said, it's a pretty long way with this one and, honestly, I have no idea where this is going. I'm just having fun and I hope you will enjoy it.^^
