Ushio and Tora | Crackling Thunder | M |
Context: The fic is about Ushio turning into an Azafuse, (the same yokai "species" as Tora), Ushio and Tora go to the Nakamura ramen shop after fighting with eachother.
The place was about to close, as the last few clients came and went, once again, the bell rang, as Asako opened the door ready to attend to their last clients for the day.. Ushio.. and Tora… She stared at the two nervously, as she looked back to her parents. How was she going to explain THIS to them? The anxiety was even worse than last time in Ushio’s case. He spent a lot of time admiring how scary he looked. Yet the last thing he wanted was to scare off anyone.
“Ushio… Tora… can’t you guys turn invisible or something?” Asako asked.
“I don’t know how to! Tora was more busy teaching me how to fly!” Ushio whispered harshly as he looked at the orange azafuse.
“You think I look like a good mentor? Besides, flying is one of the easiest things he could learn right now!” Tora said in a condescending tone, this was the first time he taught another one of his kind, usually, they’d find out for themselves.
“Asako, what are you talking about?” The pressure her parents put on them only made things worse.
“Tora! can’t you at least just turn him invisible or something?” Asako asked, once again.
“Ptsss!… Why would I? I can’t eat while holding the brat! C’mon, just say hello or something!” Tora said as he pushed the two into their view. Asako was on the ground and Ushio was on top of her, it looked like he was about to eat her… just like in his nightmare… Crap! This was easily the worst impression he could make!
“Mo-Monster!” Asako’s dad shouts.
“Shit! You’re making the wrong impression here! I-It 's me! Ushio!” The white beast said with a noticeable tone of desperation in his voice, as he quickly stood up.
“You aren’t Ushio, you are a monster that wants to eat us! You're lying! Ushio’s dead!”
“But, Dad! He's serious! Ushio didn’t die, he turned into a beast!” Asako yelled, trying to do her best to help him, but to no avail.
“Sorry but I’m not willing to forgive a beast that attacked you! Go to your room and let me take care of it.” Mr Nakamura yelled as Asako backed off out of pure instinct, against her will.
“But I’m Not… lying,” Ushio cried, as Asako’s dad escorted him out with a broom, closing the door…
“Asako...” Ushio muttered quietly..
“Tch! Some ham-barkers would’ve tasted better than that noodle-soup stuff anyways,” Tora said
