Welcome to another chapter of Daffodils~. Sorry for not being able to update so often but it's better something rather than nothing right? I was actually thinking about posting this fic frequently like (maybe once a week or at worse once a month) but I can't write so consistently cause I can't write comfortably when I'm surrounded by my family members during day. Like I said, I'm quite shy writing all this and my family members tend to glance to my laptop whenever I do something. I definitely DON'T want them to see this fic so I could only type this during night. So I apologise for the lateness but I hope you guys are still enjoying this fic despite my laziness and lateness.

Oh! By the way, starting from this chapter, we get to see Ichi's pregnancy progress so get ready for a trip to the past yalls~ I am excited for your opinions about it cause I had so much fun writing this chapter~

Ichiro let out a tired sigh as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He looks at his little brothers, spotting both males getting even more and more fidgety as the time passes by.

"So you're telling me that you met Yumeno Gentaro's publisher but before you guys go he gave the kids something, offered to pay you guys and on your way back a shield appeared when a bunch of thugs decided to attack you guys? Did I get that right?"

A nod from Saburo

'So he knew about them, huh? It's better him than the other idiotic Alpha he knew..,' the omega thought to himself, suppressing a sigh from escaping his lips.

"Aniki, do we have to track this guy? I mean he-,"

"No need. You guys won't be able to find him anyway if he doesn't want to," Ichiro drawled, pushing off his younger brother's effort to find the said man. It's true though. Nobody can really track Rei unless he wants them to.

"I guess it's no use to keep it from you guys anyway...,"

"Keep what?"

"It's something about the past...it's a super long story and I'll tell you guys about later but for now... Can we just sleep? The kids will get pretty restless if I don't go to sleep by now," Ichiro explained, giving his brother a small, pensive smile. He reached out to give them a hug. He gave them a tender kiss on the forehead for each of them before bidding them goodnight.

The 2 Alphas could only look at him as he went to his bedroom before locking the door. They wanted to know more but they knew better than to push the elder and so they decided to keep their lips shut. For now at least.

Ichiro went towards his children, all were nicely tucked in bed and slept in peace. Well, all except one of them.

"Aren't you going to sleep, Isami?" the said boy jolted on the spot at his mom's voice, clearly shocked that his mom found out he didn't fall asleep yet.

"I...um...I can't sleep," the boy shyly said, his face scrunching cutely while he tried to hide his face with the blanket. Ichiro cooed internally at his son's cuteness. Gosh! He loves them so much and he wouldn't trade them for the world.

Ichiro lies down on the bed, right beside Aoi since the triplets tend to sleep with Isami in the middle while the younger ones cuddle close to their oldest siblings. Ichiro gave his children a kiss on the forehead each, leaving Isami to be the last one to receive the kiss so that he can leave a longer, lingering feeling. Isami felt the familiar warmth radiate through his body. How he loves his family. A giddy smile could be seen adorned his cute face. Ichiro let his scent fill the room, scenting his pups at the process while he patted them softly.

The smile on his face slowly dropped when he remembered what his little brother just told him. It seems that the pups' grandpa has found his ways and managed to find them. He couldn't care less really. He doesn't exactly resent that old man. Sure, he's mad that he isn't in their life to watch them grow but he understands the reasons. The underlying truth that only he knew. It's not like he doesn't want to be with his family. It's more like he can't , to be more precise.

As if on cue, his phone rang. Ichiro's eyes widened in shock at the sudden noise and quickly tapped the except button to avoid waking his children up. He quietly scooted out from the bed so that he could talk to his phone. Ichiro went to the corner of his room before picking up the call.

'Speaking of the devil,' Ichiro scoffed as he put his phone to his ear.

"What do you want?" Ichiro half growled at the phone since he's quite annoyed at the fact that the man called him just a few moments after Isami managed to fall asleep.

"Ouf! I'm hurt. Is that how you talk to your father?" Ichiro could hear the reply from the familiar deep voice from receiver.

"Dude. Cut it out already,"

"Fine, fine. I don't deserve that title anyway,"

"Uh huh," Ichiro scoffed tiredly. He's not in the mood to entertain this old man for the time being so the quicker this call ends, the better.

"So, do you like my present for my sweet grandchildren?" Ichiro can literally feel that the old man is wiggling his eyebrows right now.

"....That's thoughtful of you to give them that," the omega murmured softly. He won't lie, it WAS a good gift. A protection for his pups from those who held illegal mics and wish to harm them in the future.

"As much of an asshole I am, I won't put my grandchildren in the same danger as I put you in. Once is enough Ichiro," the silent remorse in Rei's tone is quite loud in Ichiro's ear but the younger male decided to not comment on any of it. So, Ichiro decide to change the topic instead.

"What does the thing do anyway?"

"Basically, it produces a soundproof barrier whenever someone turns on their hypnosis mic. The person inside won't be able to hear any raps but the only drawback is that one item can only produce one barrier for a person,"

"I can take care of myself. Jiro and Saburo too...," the omega cuts in.

Silence fills the room.

"I know. You guys grow up well," the other man said softly and Ichiro could almost feel the melancholy in his tone. The 'I'm so proud of you' was left unsaid. Not that Ichiro needs to hear that. He already knew. The silent messages Rei trying to tell him, to tell his bros but ended up didn't. Maybe it's because he is already a parent of 3 pups that he knew how parental instincts works (well, Ichiro has maternal instinct too so he got double instincts)

"Thanks I guess...,"

"Yeah...,"

Another paused silent.

"I guess that's it for now. Make sure your children keep those with them," the 'Be safe' are also left unsaid but Ichiro let out a soft hum nonetheless. There are so many things Rei wanted to say to him, to his family, to his children and grandchildren but he knew he couldn't. And so, he let them be, accepting the fact that he will never be able to live with them, be a presence in their lives and see them grow up.

"Ok..," with that, the call ended. Ichiro let out another sigh as he put his phone on the bedside table. He doesn't know how (nor does he care how the older man did it) that old man managed to get in contact with him but Ichiro isn't going to complain. Sure, it was quite annoying at the beginning but he later found out that it's actually the older Alpha's parental instinct kicking in. It was quite funny that Rei called Ichiro literally a week after he gave birth to the triplet. How he knows is still a mystery to Ichiro but the omega doesn't want to bother thinking about it. Even if Ichiro does send the old man some of the triplet pictures, he won't comment a thing about it.

The sole omega in the Yamada household went back to bed, tucking himself near his children. As his head hit the pillow, he gave his children another soft look while mouthing 'I love you' before rolling himself into the warmth of his nest and his pups. A small smile adorned his face as his mind trailed itself to the past.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Two red lines

.

Somehow, his brain decided to go on overdrive mode, he couldn't exactly remember what happened after that. He did hear a loud noise coming from the door and also a loud thudding sound like someone is running inside the house.

Someone was calling out for him but he couldn't hear it

His feet moved on their own and maybe in some odd way, he ran.

The test was long gone from his hand.

He ran out of the house.

'Why are you running? Where are you going?'

He doesn't know and yet Ichiro keeps on running away. He heard a scream from behind him but his body refused to listen to him and stopped him from running away. Ichiro finally stopped when he saw a bright light in front of him. He stood there. Rooted to the ground. The usual glimmer of joy is gone. Instead, the face filled with nothing but void. He couldn't feel it. Or could he? He doesn't know. His feet just wouldn't budge away.

'What is that in front of him?'

The last thing Ichiro remembered was a hand on his wrist.

Then, everything went dark.

It was already evening by the time Kuko decided to take a walk along Ikebukuro. He had been living here for a few years awhile back and he practically memories all the nook and crook of the roads when he was a Naughty Busters and Mad Comic Dialogue along with Ichiro.

'Ichiro...,' the redhead Alpha took a deep, strained breath. He let his mind reminisce about the old memories he shared with his best friend. He remembers how close they are. How they were literally attached to each other to the hips. How they call themselves soulmates. How they always all over each other. In a platonic way of course since Kuko isn't interested in his best friend romantically. But platonically, they are close to a family. Well, used to be at least.

Kuko let out a growl, alerting the passer-by not to come close to him. What the hell happened?! What the fuck happened 2 years ago that cost him his friendship with Ichiro? Every time Kuko tried to remember the accident, his mind went blank and accompanied by a sharp pain in the head. He couldn't remember what he said or did to his best friend but he is sure as hell that he hurt the latter before going back straight to Nagoya.

For the past one year, nothing significantly big happen in his life and Kuko pretty much live almost at peace. Well, aside from his father constant scolding. But what else is new?

Well that's that but like he said, nothing significantly big happened in his life. Well, not until last week that is.

Kuko is pretty much proud over his instinct. He doesn't need to use his brain to trust his instincts since his instincts are rarely wrong. And by rarely he meant by NEVER wrong.

With that being said, of course Kuko will be in an immediate alarmed once his instinct decided to scream (Yes. Scream. Not alert him in like it normally does) at him, telling him that he MUST go to Ikebukuro, MUST go to Ichiro and confront him at any cost. And that, that set the small Alpha into action. The young monk literally took out his luggage, packed some necessities, and proceeded to buy a plane ticket straight to Ikebukuro. Because hell, they may not be partners romantically but his inner Alpha acknowledges Ichiro as part of his own, like a pack of some sort and if any harm ever befall on the older male, he will surely make the person that causes the other misery will fall into hell and Kuko definitely won't be able to forgive himself if he let that happen.

After telling his parents that he NEEDS to go, they gave him their permission (and some pocket money) because they knew how Kuko's instinct work and there's nothing to convince him otherwise from following his instinct.

And that ladies and gentlemen on how Kuko ended up in the street of Ikebukuro, walking by himself through memory lane. Another groan left Kuko's lips when he saw the familiar neighbourhood. Why did his instinct telling him to go here of all place? Kuko looked around the familiar area, taking in the few different bits here and there. But what caught his attention wasn't the different addition in the neighbourhood. No. What caught his attention is when he saw 2 very familiar bodies running around frantically to reach for another tall brunette in front of them.

He was across the street when he saw them and at that very moment, right after he saw the 2 siblings trying to catch up to their oldest brother, his instinct screamed at him. Kuko froze for a mere second. His instinct literally screamed at him. Telling him that he needs to catch the oldest Yamada before anything bad even happen but somehow deep down, he knew that something bad has already happened and he need to run fast if he want to catch Ichiro. With that decision in mind, he ran, taking the quickest shortcut he knew available. He saw the older male stopped on his track right at the middle of the street. Kuko's eyes widen in horror.

"ICHIRO!!!!" Kuko screamed on top of his lungs. He can feel his lungs burning due to running and him screaming the other's name but he couldn't care less. He needs to be fast! He can't waste even a second if he wants to save his best friend. His eyes widened in horror when he saw the black haired omega stopped on his track, standing motionlessly in the middle of the road, and a car approaching him. Luckily for Kuko, he was merely a few inches from the older male and with the sudden burst of energy inside him, he lunged himself toward Ichiro, hands gripping hard on the other so that he can pull him over. Ichiro lose his balance and fell on Kuko. A loud 'Ouff!' could be heard as Kuko use all his strength to catch the taller male in front of while the other fell completely over Kuko.

'Damn! He grew taller and heavier!' Kuko thought to himself as he shifted their position so that he could see Ichiro's face, grunting at the extra weight he had to hold. Kuko's golden yellow, cat-like irises pierce into the red-green eyes. Kuko's eyes widen in horror.

'No! No no no no no no!!' Kuko Alpha literally screamed inside him, his scent turned bitter and sour as he saw the omega's unfocused, blank eyes while the colour of the eyes are the opposite of the usual green-red combination. The Alpha cursed inwardly when he saw the state of his best friend.

Ichiro is completely in his omega subspace if his unfocused, inverted eyes are not any obvious indicator. The raven haired omega rarely went to his Omega subspace. Kuko knew that much since he only see it once, back when Ichiro trying to hold back the pain and pressure for being hated by his siblings. Sure, he's strong and all but everyone has their breaking point and Kuko managed to witness his best friend breakdown at the very least unexpected moment. They vow not to tell a soul and as far as Kuko is concern, only he knew how to handle Ichiro when he's completely submitted to his omega headspace.

Kuko carefully caress the other's face. He looked pale. As if the other didn't have any decent meal for days. Did he skip meals again? No. he shouldn't be. Kuko already knocked some senses into this idiot on how important for his body to not skip meal or heats anymore. While the redhead continued to check on Ichiro, his enhance nose catch on the scent of a distress, worried and (scared?) Alpha rushed toward him. 'Must be Jiro' he thought since you usually presented during high school and Kuko pretty much remember the Yamada siblings' ages by heart anyway.

"Nii-chan!! What did yo- Kuko-san?" he heard the younger male yelled at him before startled out his name. He turned his head to face the young Alpha, giving him a look that says 'I'll tell you later' in which the younger nod slowly. Kuko saw another blob of black hair behind Jiro, catching up to his breath due to his running earlier. Jiro tried to come a little closer towards Ichiro so that he can carry him but the omega let out a distress whine instead, startling his siblings. Kuko look at Ichiro in concern. 'I guess he won't even let Jiro carrying him, huh?'

"Will you let me go to your house? He won't let me go anytime soon," Kuko stated as he adjust their position a little bit more, allowing the tall omega to shove his nose on the crook of his neck, near his scent gland before proceeding to scent the small Alpha. 'He's seeking comfort trough my scent, huh?'. Kuko spare Ichiro another glance before looking at Jiro straight in the eyes. The younger male looked at the older with a mixed expression before finally nodding.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

It took them quite a while to get back to the Yamada residence. A few minutes to coax the tall omega so that Kuko can walk better, and another few minutes to convince the omega that he won't be leaving. Seriously, what the heck is going on? He knew that Ichiro are pretty much touch starve and rarely voice out his needs but this? Being so clingy, touchy, whiny and even slight aggression in public? This isn't the usual Ichiro he knew. The whole trip was on feet and silent. Too silent from their usual noisy-banters filled trip. Kuko didn't comment on it. Even when he saw how Saburo hold onto Jiro's hand tightly as if the other would disappear if he ever let go. Kuko didn't comment on it. Even when he heard the soft sniffle coming from the youngest. He didn't comment on it. He simply just kept his mouth shut as he carries Ichiro on his side. It took him quite a while to coax the omega to listen to him and thankfully the omega can still walk albeit he needs someone to lean on. With the omega refuse to go to Jiro, Kuko has let himself being the substitute to carry the tall male omega back to his home.

Once arrived, Jiro pointed the way to Ichiro's room while accompany him until they reached the front door. The redhead noticed the uneasiness that the younger radiate through his scent. Kuko twist his head to face Jiro and gave him a look and a small smile that says 'It's fine. You know I won't hurt him, right?'. Jiro spare look at Kuko for another second before he finally decided to leave Ichiro in Kuko's arm.

"Hey, you're home now. I need to put you on the bed, yeah?" Kuko whispered toward Ichiro. The omega beside him raised his head slightly from the crook of Kuko's neck earning a chuckle from the Alpha. The said omega just gave him a nod, a silent permission to let the Alpha into his space. His personal territory. The red head continue to hold his best friend until they reached the bed. Kuko felt a strong surge of pain coursing through when his foot stepped on something hard. He cursed hard but decided to settle Ichiro on the bed first before he picked up the offending piece of shit. Once Ichiro are finally tucked in comfortably in bed, Kuko proceed to pick up the offending piece of shit on the floor.

What the Alpha might have expected is a pen or any long, small object but he definitely did not expect a freaking pregnancy test. He saw the small 2 lines on the test. It didn't take a genius to put the two and two together. Kuko felt his stomach dropped to the ground. 'No it can't be...,' the small Alpha thought in horror as his eyes turned from golden yellow to bloody red in an instant, scent turning sour in a matter of seconds.

'Who?! Who the fuck impregnate his best friend and leave him alone?!'

'Who the fuck is this asshole?!!'

'How dare he?!'

'How dare he impregnate an unmated omega and left him all alone?!!'

'At top of that the said omega is YAMADA ICHIRO!!! WHO THE FUCK DARE TO DO THIS TO HIM?!!!'

Just before Kuko could continue his inward monologue, he heard the soft rustling coming from the bed and he can hear the soft whimper coming out from the omega. The other male must have noticed the sudden change of smell from Kuko. The other calmed himself and toned down his scent before he literally sprints toward Ichiro so that he can comfort the other.

"Hey, you're alright now. You're at your house, in your room. You're safe," Kuko whispered softly as he caresses the black lock softly. The omega went tense for a mere second before leaning into the touch. Kuko chuckled at his friend's action. Even in this kind of state, his friend is still on high alert, huh? The redhead frowned for a moment. That shouldn't be it. The omega is inside his home. His own territory. The place where he should feel the safest to be at. But then again, it might be due to his confusion. And maybe because the older male finally wakes up from his omega headspace since Kuko saw the change on the other's eyes. Their eyes locked and yes, Kuko can feel that his friend is conscious from his headspace. Albeit a little weakly but it's better than being completely submerge into his omega headspace again.

"Kuko?" Ichiro's voice sounded ragged. A weak, hurtful laugh escaped his lips.

"I guess my brain really messed up bad, huh? First Kuko appeared in my dream... what next? That damn Alpha will come over?" Ichiro started to ramble out.

"Hey... can I tell you something? I mean... if you're just my dream, you won't tell anyone right?" always the cautious type. Even in his dream.

"I'm pregnant," Kuko froze. Knowing and listening those words coming out from his friend's mouth felt so different. Maybe because of the heartbroken tone coming from his lips that makes the news sounded worse.

"It was an accident really," a chocked sobs left the omega's lips. He can see the clear tears forming at the corner of the omega's eyes before the other bawling his heart out, lifting his arms to cover his eyes and Kuko could only look at him with an uptight expression.

"I was careless...or just unlucky... I bet that idiot didn't even realised it... which is fine cause we already broke up anyway...and I don't have any intention of telling him anyway," it doesn't need a genius to understand who Ichiro is referring to. Aohitsugi Samatoki. It's not a secret that the 2 of them are attached to each other back when Kuko was still around. He saw how they look at each other. Hell! He even thought that the albino is worthy enough for Ichiro! Guess that was a mistake.

Seeing his friend so broken in front of him has only made his inner wolf to whine. The Alpha grabs the other's hand gently with one hand while the other wipes the tears that escaped his eyes.

Kuko look in awe when his friend's pair of green-red eyes switched position, turning slightly lighter as his Luna took over his body. Ichiro's Luna looks at Kuko before giving him a small smile.

'Ah, he remembers me...,' Kuko just nodded back while his mind wondering why the Luna didn't resent him in any ways. He might have to ask Ichi later.

"Do you want to nest?" the redhead asked after a long awkward silent. The omega looked at him in shock before nodding excitedly.

Kuko barked out a laugh. Seriously, how can anybody reject this friend of his? But then again, it's the other personal problem. He shouldn't delve into it unless the other wants him too. Kuko helped the omega to take the extra pillows he had and maybe some clothes from the wardrobe. Kuko sat far away from the bed, giving the Luna some space to build his nest and once the omega are fully satisfied with his own creation, he plopped himself in the middle of the nest, snuggling contently into the sheets.

All omegas love to nest. It's their way of coping and finding comfort. The first year of knowing Ichiro had taught Kuko that the older doesn't have the luxury to nest. It's not like he DOESN'T want to. It's just that he can't. He can't because he's busy working, putting a front as a beta so that he can get a job. So that he can protect his siblings. So that he can continue to provide for them. Even though he was an omega.

It's hard living as an omega. It's even harder if you are a male omega. Male omegas are rare. Very rare. And it makes them some sort of a high price exhibition if they are caught by the wrong kind of people. Especially before H era. Omegas are looked down upon. They are only seen just as a slave, sex toys and something that be disposed of so easily. Kuko hated it. By all means, he tried to protect Ichiro in all possible ways he could. And he succeeded. Well, until THAT happened. After their fateful fight, they no longer in contact with each other and he pretty sure their bond are severely broken as well. But looking at their current situation, maybe the bond they share wasn't as broken as he thought it was.

Ichiro's omega side. Not many get the privilege to talk to his Luna. Ichiro's Luna is like him in a way. Very cautious towards stranger but very protective towards the one he loves. So far, aside from himself, he doesn't know any other person who ever get to meet his Luna. Luna will only appeared when the omega are too into their headspace as a way to protect the body but looking at Ichiro now... it's safe to say that his Luna are trying his best to comfort the confuse human.

Kuko let out a hum as he makes his way towards the bedroom door. Guess he already knew why his instinct was screaming at him earlier. It was for Kuko to come here. To protect this specific omega during his hardest and most vulnerable time.

Kuko may be an Alpha but he knew how hard pregnancy is for omegas. Especially if they are unmated. Pregnancy is already hard enough for the omega but with the presence of their Alpha, it can be bearable. Without their alpha, the pregnancy itself will take a toll on the omega's mental health if they are not taken care of properly. Or worse, they might die alongside the pup they are carrying.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Jiro bit his nails. It not a good habit but he couldn't help it. He was just a mere seconds from losing their brother again if it wasn't for Kuko to save Ichiro. He saw. He saw how the fucking car almost hit Ichiro. At that moment, Jiro was so glad that he ran faster than Saburo. He hoped that the younger didn't see how close their oldest from being hit by a freaking car. The second Yamada couldn't bear to see anguish in Saburo's face. Not again. Not ever. Once was enough. More than enough. He wished that he would never see that expression on his precious little brother ever again.

If it wasn't for Kuko, Nii-chan would... Jiro shake his head harshly. NO! He shouldn't be thinking about this!! He should be glad. Be grateful that someone is quick enough to save their beloved older brother. Jiro heard the click from Ichiro's bedroom door, signalling that someone just opened the door. He saw the shorter male closing the door with another soft click before running towards the elder. Before Jiro could opened his mouth to ask something, Kuko quickly put a finger on his lips, telling the younger to tone down his voice. Jiro did but his eyes silently ask Kuko on Ichiro's condition and if his eyes isn't enough, his sourly, orange scent would be a dead giveaway on how worried. 'If only Ichiro knew, how much his family loves and treasure him' Kuko thought solemnly.

"Is- Is Nii-chan-,"

"He's alright.. for now,"

"Now tell me, how long has he been looking like that?" 

"You mean, all sickly, pale and all?"

"Almost a week now. He's been throwing up everything he ate and he almost didn't eat anything at all" Jiro summed up to Kuko while the other just nod his head.

'That bad, huh'

"You have school tomorrow right? Go to sleep,"

"But Nii-cha-," Kuko can see the hesitation in Jiro's eyes and he understood the reason very well. It's not that he doesn't want to trust Kuko on taking care of Ichiro but after everything that had happened, it's very hard to put their trust on anyone right now. Since everyone they're close to will eventually leave them or backstab them. And since he just presented not so long ago, his Alpha tended to get very protective towards his family.

"It's alright. I'll make sure to take care of him. And if anything happen, you can punch me. I give you the permission," he continues to coax the younger Alpha to sleep, ruffling the younger's hair fondly, just like how he used to do back in the days. Jiro opened his mouth to say something but decided not to and instead he went straight to his bedroom.

Kuko waited until the young Alpha to finally go into his bedroom door and until he heard a soft clicked of the door before fished out Ichiro's phone from his own pocket. Okay. This didn't count as stealing alright? He saw the phone on the floor of the other's bedroom and he was just going to pick it up and put on the bedside table when an idea popped in his brain. He plopped himself on the sofa in the living room and saw a pillow and a blanket on the coffee table. It must be from Jiro. 'How considerate of him,' the redhead thought with a small, soft smile adorned his face

Ichiro would probably hate him again for doing this but his health is their top priority for now so any scolding he's going to get later will be fucking worth it. He switched on Ichiro's cell phone and type his password. 'SERIOUSLY?!! He didn't even bother changing his password?!!' Kuko thought in disbelieve as his finger swipe on Ichiro's contact info and quickly find the contact he's been searching for.

'Jakurai Sensei'

The redhead clicked the call button. He waited for the older Alpha to pick up the call. He doesn't have to wait long though since the doctor on the other side of the line took only 2 dials until he picked it up.

"Hello? Ichiro-kun?"

Well surprise everyone~ Kuko is here to save pregnant Ichi~ because logically thinking, I would NEVER let Ichi and his bros bear the burden alone. Sure he might have some support from Jaku but I don't think that would be enough. He needs someone closer to keep an eye on both him and the pups so I added Kuko cause why not? I love that guy! And they are soulmates (platonically) and you can't change my mind about it! Who says that soulmates can only be romantically?!! I don't believe in that. In my opinion, anyone can be each other's soulmates (if they meet the right person that is). So yes, these 2 bros are platonic soulmates and will always protect each other.

Ok, hear me out when I said this. This is an AU. And I discreetly have told you guys that I will change a lot of things and this is one of it, personally, I quite like this AU I created so yeah. For those who hate Rei, this isn't your fic. I kinda like that man but I changed some of his personality to fit in for this fic. So, he isn't that creepy and asshole man you knew in Hypmic universe. And he actually cares for BB. More than they know. It just that he can't be with them. That's all. He tried his best to protect them from the shadow but that is the best he could. He can't directly help them.

Both me and my little sister have this theory where the effect of True Hypnosis Mic on Kuko and Sasara are just temporary and took effect ONLY at that time where they fought with Sama and Ichi. Since True Hypnosis Mic abilities can vary depends on what you want to do, I just make them brainwashed for just a short amount of time because logically, if they are under the influence of True Hypnosis Mic in a longer duration (like Nemu) they won't be able to use their abilities but I think both of them can still use it with no problem. It just that they don't remember anything that happened on that particular day. And so, based on that theory, we decided to add Kuko here~

Feel free to ask any questions if you are confused about this fic. Truthfully, I actually enjoys the interactions between authors and readers cause it gives me more motivations to write this fics. For those who left comments and kudos, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I can't thank you guys enough.
