Foudu's pov:
It was still nighttime, as Y/n was putting on all of his clothes, while me, Tamaba and Kyo-bo waited behind the curtains for him to finish changing.
Fudou:"Oi, Tamaba" I called for the green haired girl.
Tamaba:"What is it?~" She said a bit playfully.
Fudou:"Although I hate you for nearly killing my brother. I have to thank you for carrying him all the way here." I thanked her.
Tamaba:"Your Weeelcome~" She replied.
Fudou:"By the way, what about the photo?" I asked her.
Tamaba:"Oh, the data? Y/n destroyed it~" She answered.
Hearing this, I flay my arms down in despair as I was probably about to be targeted by both Kikakujo and Onigawara again, but atleast Y/n is safe, that's what matters.
Tamaba:"Don't worry~ I've already told Rin and Mary the truth.~" She said as I let out a sigh.
Fudou:"*Sigh*Thank you." I thanked her.
Tamaba:"I told them that Y/n-chan attacked me in the bath, hit me, and nearly made blew out my right eardrum." She said as Y/n peeks out of the head with a mix of scared and angry face.
Fudou:"Oi! They'll take that the wrong way!" I yelled at her as Y/n nods in agreement.
Tamaba:"Let's play again, Y/n-chan!" She said as she walks over to the door and leaves
Fudou:"...She's the devil." I described her behavior.
Tamaba:"I get that alot~" She said a she opens the door again. "Anyway, you have another visitor~" She informed us.
As she closes the door, it opens right away as it was closed as it revealed Rin Onigawara, seemingly mad.
(Fudou's Expression)
Y/n&Fudou:'THE DEMON'S HERE!!' We both thought in our heads in fear.
And as the demon enters, she comes stomping in, making sure the thud of each step could be heard as both me and Y/n were in fear on what she was gonna do to us.
Fudou:"O-oi, wait! Onigawara! About yesterda-" He was cut off as she get's infront of me.
She then suddenly breathed it, which is mostly indicating she was gonna use her mirrored breathing technique as we get ready for a barrage of sword strikes.
But to our somewhat surprise, she suddenly bows down in a perfecr 90° angle towards both Y/n and I.
Rin:"I'm so sorry!" She yelled out an apology.
Y/n&Fudou:"...Eh?" We both said in unison.
Rin:"Tamaba-san told me that it was part of her plan." She said to us.
We then see Tamaba let out her upper body back into the infirmary as she pulls one of her eyelids and sticks her tongue out towards both Y/n and I.
Fudou:'That little...so she actually told them the truth, huh?' I said in my head as I hear Y/n letting out a breathe of relief.
Rin:"I know it's ridiculous to ask for both of your forgiveness, but I'll do anything to gain it!" She said to us as Tamaba finally leaves the infirmary for good.
Fudou:"*Sigh* Good grief."
Y/n's pov:
Me, Fudou and Onigawara-san were now sitting down on the couches as she sat infront of me, as Fudou sat on the couches back.
Fudou:"Look, me and Y/n have thought all about it now. It was all Tamaba's fault and yours, no need to worry about anymore." He said for the both of us as I nod in agreement.

Rin:"N-no...that's not all I wanted to apologize about." She said to us. "Those scars...on Y/n...and that big one...on his chest..." She suddenly brought them up.
The sound of someone mentioning my scars made me shiver a bit as I began to grip harder on my pants and tried to stop my shaking.
Apparently, Fudou noticed this as he puts his arm on my shoulder to comfort me.
Fudou:"You talk too much, Onigawara." He said to her to make her stop talking about.
Y/n:"...Thanks." I quietly thanked him as he ruffles my hair with a grin on his face.
Rin:"A-are you both angry?" She asked us.
Fudou:"No, not anymore atleast." He answered.
Rin:"Th-then, both of you, please hit as hard as you can!" She requested to us. "I know it's selfish of me, but I want to put an end to this. I'm not worthy of speaking to the two of you, without getting punished for what I've done. I feel like I'm losing myself." She explained.
As I thought about something, an idea finally came as I pull Fudou's ears near me as I whisper something.
Fudou:"You sure? I am curious too, y'know?" He asked me as I nod. "Well, looks lik Y/n is willing to take you up on your offer." He said to Onigawara.
Rin:"I'll whatever it is!" She responded.
Fudou""Okay then, close your eyes." He ordered her.
Rin:"O-okay." She said as she closes her eyes.
I then stood and tried to grab her mask, but it was rather hard to grab it without a certain angle. So, I grab her chin and pulled it upwards to me.
This made her blush as she suddenly opened her lips. She was expecting a kiss which made me blush a bit, but decided to just take the mask as I'm still not sure about getting a girlfriend.
Rin:"Eh?"
Fudou:"Okay, don't try to hide it now. Hand behind your back." Fudou said to Rin as she angrily complies.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting Rin to be this mad, I'm honestly feeling bad a bit.
Fudou:"Didn't you'd be this mad, what's this about?" Fudou asked in curiousity.
Rin:"I'd rather you see my naked body." She said as she looks at me briefly. "But I guess showing mg face is of equal price to what I've done to the both of you." She added.
Fudou:"We heard you were embarassed by with, but we don't really get it. Why do you go this far?" Fudou asked her as I also got curious.
And so, she looked down in reluctance as after while she finally spoke. She then started explaining how her parenrs apperently separated just from her face alone.
Apperently her face was quote on quote Ugly. So much so that her father fled and left her with her mother, which the latter blamed her for, calling her a devils daughter.
The reason she supposedly started wearing the Oni mask was that her mother ordered her to when she was around her and then after a while, she got used to it as it became her fake face from the outside.
Rin:"I've nevee told anyone this. I'd really appretiate it if you two didn't tell this to anyone." She said to us. "To be honest, only the two of you were the only people who said something nice about my face." She said remembering the time I snuck into her room in our 2nd meeting. "I was really happy you both said that. It felt like I was finally accepted by someone for who I was." She said to us.

I then took the mask from Fudou as I know he had other intentions with it as I look at it briefly and look back at Rin.
Rin:"This was the first time that I askes myself if I should take it off...I want to take it off." She said to us.
Hearing this, I stood up from the couch as I approach Rin, which caught her attention. I then grab her hand and placed her mask on her palm as I let go of it, took out my pencil and notepad and started writing....fast.
Y/n: I encouraged her as she puts it back on.
Rin:"Right!" She responded as I smile.
After that, I decided it was finally time to go as I walk to the door and open it, making Rin confused.
Rin:"Y/n? Where are you going?" She asked me.
Y/n: I greeted both of them goodbye.
Fudou:"...Yeah...I'll see you." He responded with a low tone.
And so, I closed the door behind me as I began to walk towards the exit as I began to think about Onigawara's story.
Y/n:'...A parent you love...I can't relate to her.' I said to myself.
Fudou's pov:
As Y/n left the infirmary, me and Rin were all left on the couches as I notice Y/n was now in deep though about Rin's story.
Fudou:"*Sigh* You really made Y/n think about parenthood, huh?" I said tk Onigawara as she looks confused.
Rin:"What do you mean, Fudou?" She asked me.
Fudou:"Your's was a quite a shitty story, but both me and Y/n can't relate to it. We can't understand the feeling of loving a parent...since were both orphans." I revealed as she widened her eyes in shock. "To be honest, between me and Y/n, I probably got the better life out of us two. I may not be able to remember who my parents our, but atleast I wasn't blamed for my own's mothers death...like Y/n's." I revealed.
Rin:"You mean..."
Fudou:"That's right. Y/n was blamed for his own mothers death and just like me, he also can't remember her and his parents" I said as Rin stayed quiet.
This was obvious. After all, who would expect the two of us, professional martial artist who just kicked the asses of 3 of the Supreme Five Sword's. Make that 4 since Y/n had already beat Tamaba.
Fudou:"The old man that brought us in was obssessed with swords. And thanks to my so-called talent for it, he abused and trained me and wether I like it or not, it shaped me for who I actually am today...but" I said as I tighten my fist. "If only that old man didn't just care for swords..." I said expressing regret for what happened to Y/n.
Rin:"Y/n..." She called his name.
Y/n's pov:
I was now currently looking myself as a mirror by one of the rooms as I see my reflection. My hair was a little bit messt as I see that I started to develop eyebags.
I decided to stop looking a I sat down on the stair infron of the Girl's dorm doors as I suddenly got tired, despite my slumber when I was in the infirmary.
Y/n:'Loving parents?...I wonder what that looks like.' I asked myself in the head as I began to imagine it.
No pov:
In the many houses in the city, we see a normal sized one as 2 childer were playing in the backyard. It was Fudou and Y/n.
Fudou:"I win! I win! Hahaha!" He said as he held on the flag with a space ship.
Fudou and Y/n were currently playing Astronauts vs aliens as Fudou was the astronaut and had already killed Y/n, who was the alien.
Y/n:"That's not fair! I want to be the austronaut too!" Y/n complained.
Fudou:"Well, if you were ju-"
???:"Fudou! Y/n! Lunch is ready!" A mysterious voice called out to them.
Fuodu&Y/n:"Coming ma!" They both responded in unison.
And so, they both stopped playin and ran towards the woman of the door as her face was...blank.
Mom??:"Come on dears, go to the table already." She said to them as they both nodded.
They then ran and climbed up the chairs of the table and sat down, to see the dad reading the new paper as his face was also...blank.
Dad??:"Oh, you two seem to be in a nice mood." He pointed out.
Fudou:"Yup! I won against Y/n again!" He proudly said.
Y/n:"Hey!" He retorted.
Mom:"Okay, okay, how about we stop the negatives in the tabel and focus on the food, okay?" She asked them
Fudou&Y/n:"Yes, ma!" They responded.
Mom:"Great! Now, everyone eat." She said as Y/n and Fudou grab a fork.
Fudou&Y/n:"Thanks for the food!" They said as they began to eat.
And so, theu ate like one perfect family. The imagination of a happy family was blissfull.
Back in the real world, the sun can be seem rising as Fudou can also be seen tucking in Y/n onto his bed as he accidently slept while waiting for him,making Fudou carry him to the dorms as Masuko, their roommate, who was in the same room, was also worried.
Masuko:"...Welcome back you two." He greeted them.
Fudou:"Yo!" He responded as he stops kneeling besides the bed Y/n was sleeping on.
Masuko:"...Don't you have anything to say to me?" He asked Fudou.
Fudou:"No, nothing." He responded.
Masuko:"Hey...what do you think of me?" He asked Fudou so suddenly.
Fudou:"Ew! Gross! What kind of a gross question is that!?" He said in a bit of disgust.
Masuko:"I'm a terrible person, aren't I?" He asked Fudou.
Fudou:"Yep, my roommate drugged my food and tried to seperate me and my brother. But if I bet he did it cause you had to protect the boys dorms. I guy like that ain't terrible. His my friend." He responded.
Masuko:"...By the way...some mail came in today. I hid under the pillow just incase." He said.
And so, Fudou slowly inserted his arm on the pillow Y/n was laying on as he takes out the permission slip, now having 4 out of the 5 permission stamps.
Fudou:"Hehehe, thanks. Now, both me and Y/n can sleep well today." He said happily. "This place really is something."

Summoning Shenanigans
Adding in [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Sean was a chemist on Earth with a lovely family life. Everything was going well, until a group of gods decide to summon him to their world. An unfortunate appearance by the trickster god derailed a normal summoning, and now Sean finds himself in a pickle. Content warning: There will be profanity and quite probably some gore, though the point of the story will not revovle around any gory scenes. I'm also including traumatising content as there will for sure be slavery and rape. The rape will be alluded to and not described, there are other places for that. I think this also explains the grimdark tag.
