Note: This chapter is pretty long compared to the other chapters.

I hope you aren't bored ♡

■3rd Person POV■
Y/N and her grandmother are going back from the market when the rain starts falling. They decided to stop by Osamu's shop.

When the two walks inside the shop, they are greeted by Osamu's usual "welcome to Miya Onigiri"

Then Y/N realize that there's an old lady sitting on one of a chair near the counter. Y/N bows her head a little, greeting the old lady when Osamu comes and stands next to the old lady.

Osamu: Y/N, (Y/N GM) san... this is my grandmother...

Y/N's GM: oh my, hello, I'm (Y/N's GM), my late husband and I love your grandson's onigiri so much...

Osamu's GM: oh my hello, I'm Osamu's Grandma... thank you for stopping by my grandson's shop... and how about this pretty young lady?

Osamu's grandmother smiles at Y/N, startling the girl but then bows her head.

Y/N: hello Osamu's grandma, good morning... my name is L/N Y/N... nice to meet you...

Y/N's GM: she's my granddaughter... she just moved here a couple of months ago... I asked Osamu to be her friend...

Osamu goes back to the counter and made some Onigiri ordered by Y/N's grandma, but it's not for taking away.

The rain pours heavily and doesn't like it'll stop anytime soon. So Y/N's Grandma decided to stay for a while until it died down.

Y/N sits with the old ladies, listening as they talk. Happy to hears as they share about how things were when they were younger. Osamu too listens from behind the counter.

Just then Osamu's Grandmother turns to Y/N and smiles. She reaches a hand and strokes the girl's hair gently.

Osamu's GM: such a pretty girl... and pretty name...

Y/N: uh ah... thank you

Y/N looks flustered and looks down at her knees. Face slightly red from the compliment, somehow seeing her current state made Osamu's lips curled into a smile.

Osamu's GM: your name... it makes me remember of a tale that has been passed down into our family... wanna hear a tale as it's still raining?

Y/N: okay...

Osamu's GM: hundred years ago, there's a prestigious family in this region. There are 5 children in that family, and their last child is the only girl as the other are male.

Osamu's grandmother smiles at Y/N

Osamu's GM: that daughter's name was Y/N... just like you...

Y/N could feel that her body shivers a little.

Osamu's GM: the father, deep down loved her daughter so much, but at the time, women aren't seen as equal to men. So she was strictly controlled by her family. On her fifteenth birthday, the father said that she would be introduced to a man from another well-off family from another region.

Y/N, Osamu, and Y/N's grandmother listen to the story.

Osamu's GM: Y/N was sad, even though she doesn't have much of a choice, she actually wants to be what we called a doctor at the time, she wants to help people but she knew she couldn't. But at least, she hopes she could meet the man that she chooses.

Osamu's GM: so that night, she walks into the family's back yard, and walks further into the woods, crying her heart out. When she's sad Y/N likes to cry in the woods, but never did it at night.

At this point of the story, both Osamu and Y/N feel something inside. Familiar feelings, as if they know where this story going.

Osamu's GM: Y/N runs further into the woods, not knowing that a pair of eyes are staring. Just then the owner of those eyes sees as Y/N about to fall into a small ravine. He leaps through the trees and caught her.

Dub dub

Both Osamu and Y/N's hearts beat faster.

~The Tale

Y/N looks up at the handsome young man in front of her. The young man let go of her body after steadying her. Y/N got flustered as she never been this close with a man other than her family members.

The man takes a step back, that's when Y/N realizes that man has blood on one of his arm sleeves.

Y/N: ah... are you alright?

The man tilts his head a little, but then he looks at where Y/N's eyes gaze in to.

Osamu: I'm fine...

But then Y/N takes a step forward and bows her head before gently rolls Osamu's sleeve.

Y/N: I... I'm sorry... please let me look at it...

Osamu's body stiffens at Y/N's gentle touch. Y/N then looks around and takes Osamu's hand in her, pulling him to the riverbank.

Osamu watches as Y/N rips the fabric of her sleeves. She rips it again and uses a part of the cloth to clean Osamu's wound.

Y/N: we have to clean this... and you could see a doctor... uh I'm sorry if it hurts.

Osamu stares at Y/N as she cleans his arm gently. When she finishes, she wraps his arm with another cloth.

Y/N: there... it's done...

Just then Y/N could hear a commotion. It's probably the guards and her attendant. Y/N pushes Osamu to go away from around here as it was part of her household. He would be considered trespassing.

Y/N: uh you... should leave, you can't be seen by them... I don't even know how did you get in in the first place... please

Osamu looks as Y/N stares worriedly at him.

Osamu: they can't catch me...

Suddenly, a pair of fox ears appeared on his head, along with some tails. Y/N was surprised, Osamu thought that the girl would end up running away and calling the guard, but he's wrong.

Y/N: no... it'll be dangerous, you can't be seen like that even more...

Osamu was surprised to see this young female human, worried about him, a yokai.

Seeing her eyes as she is genuinely worried, Osamu feels warm inside.

Y/N: please... go now... it's dange-

Osamu: what is your name?

Y/N was startled when he asked her that. But she answers him.

Y/N: I'm Y/N...

Osamu then turns around and about to leap through the trees when Y/N's hands caught his. Osamu looks back and sees the beautiful woman stares at him.

Y/N: what... about you?

Osamu looks at Y/N and about to answer, when a voice was heard from a deeper part of the woods. Both Y/N and Osamu look at the source of the voice and see someone who looks like Osamu. And Osamu pulls Y/N close to her, hiding her from the one who looks like him.

Atsumu: Osamu... let's get out of here...

From Atsumu's point of view, he couldn't see Y/N as her body was covered by Osamu's larger figure.

Osamu: okay...

Atsumu goes further into the woods and Osamu lets go of Y/N's body. When he looks down, he sees the woman's face turns red, and he found this alluring.

Osamu: that is... what I'm called...

With that, Osamu turns around and leap onto one of the trees.

Y/N: Osamu sama...

Osamu looks down at Y/N.

Y/N: can I... see you again?

Osamu just stares at her. Not answering, he turns around and vanishes into the woods.

The guards came and escort Y/N back into the house, while the girl always look back.

The following day, Y/N always waits in that river bank hoping that she will meet him again. But after a month of waiting, he never sees him. Until one night they finally meet again.

There's a rumor of a twin yokai around, a lot of people are sent to kill the yokai. Hearing this news, made Y/N worried. And then one night, Y/N finally see Osamu again near the river bank.

Osamu is injured, but it's worse than before. Y/N helps him up and brought him to a cave behind a waterfall. Y/N likes to hides here when she's sad, that night when she runs and about to fall, she was heading to that secret cave.

Y/N lay Osamu down and see the deep wound on his lower abdomen. Though, she never actually learn it formally, Y/N is a clever girl. She tends to watch as a doctor heals a soldier and know what to do.

For now she could only clean the wound and cover it with cloth. This time, she uses Osamu's clothes to avoid being suspicious.

Osamu watches as Y/N clean and tends his wound.

Y/N: I'm sorry... I can only do this much for now... please... stay strong... I'll be back tomorrow with some med... please... be okay...

Osamu watched as the girl is worried for him and nods his head.

The following days Y/N keep coming and tends to his wound, and even meet with Atsumu who track his sibling scent. But Osamu protect Y/N when Atsumu thinks Y/N is going to harm Osamu.

Y/N brought food, and medicine for the two sibling foxes and she eventually became comfortable around them, especially with Osamu. When Osamu is better, he leave the cave but sometimes come to meet Y/N, and eventually the two fell in love.

~End of tale

Y/N listens closely to whatever Osamu's GM says. Her heart feels warm hearing the story.

Osamu's GM: but... unfortunately, things doesn't go well for he two poor couple.

Y/N could feel her heart clenched at the mention of that. Osamu too became stiff and a tingling pain appears on his chest.

Y/N: what... happened to them?

Osamu's GM: one night, one of the guards sees that Y/N is talking with Osamu.... Osamu's gravely injured at the time. When he's hunting with Atsumu, a soldier spots them and launches an arrow, almost hitting Atsumu, but Osamu pushed him aside, getting hit instead.

Osamu's GM: Atsumu brought him there to meet Y/N hoping that she'll heal him. But then, the voice of a bunch of soldiers was heard... Osamu immediately told Atsumu to go away, but of course he refuses. But Osamu told him to leave again, telling Atsumu that he couldn't get away with his injured leg.

Osamu's GM: Atsumu with a broken heart, left his sibling and goes further, hiding inside the woods. But Y/N still stays Osamu told her to leave but Y/N doesn't want to... but then Osamu says

As Osamu's Grandmother says the words. Both Y/N and Osamu remember the scene from their dream.

"Osamu: I'll definitely find you... for now... you couldn't be seen with me..."

Both Y/N and Osamu's breath, hitched when they heard this.

Osamu's GM: they share one last kiss, and telling each other that they love them... and Y/N runs with tears on her face. Then, she stop when she hears the guard yelled "fire"... that night, both Y/N and Atsumu witness Osamu got killed with arrows.

Osamu's GM: Y/N was so brok- wait... Y/N my dear what's wrong?

Osamu turns his gaze at Y/N and feel a tug on his chest. Y/N has tears rolling down her cheeks.

Y/N's GM: oh my baby... what's wrong? Is it so sad because you have the same name?

Y/N's Grandmother wipes her tears away as Y/N keeps sobbing.

Y/N: I uh... (sob) I'm sorry... (sob) I just...

Osamu's GM: it's okay honey... it's a sad story after all, but... it's the first time I saw someone cry as much as this...

Osamu's grandmother also helps to wipes her tears away.

■Osamu's POV■

Seeing Y/N cries, somehow makes me feel guilty. Why did I have a feeling that I'm the one who made her cry?

But then, what happens to the Y/N in the story? I want to know, my heart is pounding.

Osamu: well... grandma... how about the woman?

Grandma looks at me a little surprised but then smiles sadly.

Y/N looks at grandma too, as she continues the stories.

Osamu's GM: the family found out that Y/N close to the yokai. They're enraged and decided to married her off soon... Y/N was so broken hearted... she doesn't want to eat... and never leave her room...

My heart clenched painfully hearing what happen to her.

Osamu's GM: then, on the day of her wedding... Y/N was escorted in the palanquin, where she'll be taken to the male house... they all rest on an open area near the sea. They're at the top of a cliff.... when Y/N gets off of her palanquin... she walks closer to the cliff... looking at the raging sea...

No...

Osamu's GM: one of her attendants sees this and approaches her, but not to close... saying "my lady, it's dangerous over there" but, Y/N doesn't bug... the attendant told the other attendant to call the guard and Y/N's father... but before they can get as close... Y/N jumps off the cliff...

No... why?

Osamu: why?

I could feel my voice is shaking.

Osamu's GM: because... she hoped she could meet the love of her life... well... this is just a story... a beautifully sad story... I don't think you too would be engrossed in this...

I look and Y/N, and she looks at me too. Seeing her crying face, I don't know. I feel guilty but sad knowing that woman killed herself. That man, wouldn't want that.
