Ninja Love One-shots

Ghoul Season - Ghoul! Kotaro x Reader

  The moon shone through the windows of the house, right into an unsuspecting (Y/n)'s face. She groaned in annoyance and rolled over to avoid the light. Unfortunately, her bed was only so wide, and she fell onto the floor.

Sleepily climbing to her feet, (Y/n) yawned and stretched. Now that she was awake, she knew her insomnia would never let her fall back asleep. So she though making a quick stop to the bathroom and then watching the sunrise would be the best way to spend her unwanted early awakening.

As she walked down the hall, wondering if she could be quiet enough to make a sandwich, she heard a strange, muffled noise.

Outside the bathroom, (Y/n) pressed her ear against the door. She could not hear anything. Very quietly, she pushed the door open. Kotaro was kneeling with his back to the door, his hands clutching the floor, his snowy white head bowed.

"You can't help me," said Kotaro. His whole body was shaking. "I can't do it...... I can't....."

And (Y/n) realized, with a shock so huge it seemed to root her to the spot, that Kotaro was crying — actually crying — tears streaming down his pale face onto the wooden floor. Kotaro gasped and gulped and then, with a great shudder, looked across the room at someone she couldn't see.

  "So what do you want to do? Kill yourself?" It was Hanzo.

  "No! I want to make it stop!!" He slammed his fist onto the floor, making his knuckles bleed.

  "You cannot make it stop."

  "You think I don't know that!? Aaargh!!" Kotaro grabbed his head again and screamed in agony.

  "You need to keep taking your medicine."

  "Medicine doesn't help, don't you get it! I still yearn, still crave the flesh of you humans!" He snarled.

  (Y/n) leaned against the wall and peered her head inside as much as she dared. What did he mean by 'you humans?' She looked back into the bathroom as Hanzo spoke.

  "So what do you want me to do?"

  "The princess....I cannot.....be her guard anymore...." His voice broke as he started to cry again.

  "Even if I do that, is there really a guarantee you will not have another breakdown like this?"

  Kotaro let out a ghastly shriek as blood red tentacles exploded from his back and tore his clothes. They flowed like water and curled around him like twitching spider legs. They slammed into the floor, shaking the room. Water splashed all over the floor, soaking (Y/n)'s socks, making her cringe. He had broken one of the bathing tubs.

  Kotaro stared at the floor, his kagune twitching. He raised his head, and (Y/n) saw his eyes had changed. The iris turned red and the sclera turned black with red veins cracked into his skin around his eyes. She gripped the rim of the door tighter.

  "I will not separate you and the princess. You are strong, and I would be unwise to let her out of your sight." Hanzo continued quickly, seeing Kotaro shake and open his mouth furiously. "And you will not object. You know well that you will be in danger if you leave this place."

  "You don't understand......It's her. She's got the perfect blood." Kotaro's voice shook with an obsessive longing mixed with repulsion. 

(Blah blah blood junk blah blah)

There was a long silence. (Y/n)'s fingers were numb, she had clenched the door frame so tightly. She didn't realize she was trembling from head to toe.

Kotaro lowered his head so it touched the damp floor. He closed his eyes and his kagune slowly drifted to the floor as he calmed.

"I never knew...."

Kotaro opened his eyes as Hanzo spoke, but didn't move his head from the floor. His eyes roamed the floor aimlessly. He then caught sight of (Y/n)'s reflection in the water, half concealed behind the door.

Kotaro quickly raised his head and stared right at (Y/n). He was so shocked she had been listening that his eyes reverted back to normal.

(Y/n) let out a scared squeak at being caught, and turned and ran down the hallway. Kotaro watched her run away before returning his head back to the floor.

Tears slipped down his closed eyes as he knew his love was now afraid of him.

Kotaro: Why did you write (Blah blah blood junk blah blah) in the story?

Kathryn: I was too lazy to come up with a paragraph about how you wanted to slice open (Y/n)'d skin and eat her guys and drink her blood like a cannibal ^-^;

Kotaro: Fair enough

Kathryn: I couldn't shake the feeling of how much Kotaro looked like Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. I just had to write something like this, it's been on my mind for the longest time XD

Kotaro: Doesn't that guy Hide die or something?

Kathryn: *GASP* HOW DARE YOU BRING UP THE SADDEST MOMENT IVE EVER WITNESSED!!!!! ;°^°

Kotaro: ...?

Kathryn: *cries*
