    Summary

    In all fairness, Sakura did not intend to let the kid stay at his house. It was just…. the kid was so pitiful and clearly didn’t have anywhere to go.

    Shit. Umemiya was going to give him crap about this, wasn't he?

     

    Or, Natsume finds a home and Sakura finally figures out what a family might be.

    Summary

    Two months.

     

    The God of Death’s divine voice rang in the abyss-like space, holding up two fingers. Cale’s eyes widened where he sat across from him.

     

    It had been roughly a few weeks or so since the White Star was defeated and the despair-crazed god was resealed. Cale thought he’d be done after that, and for a while, he was right, despite all the commotion about him being the ultimate hero— which was total nonsense in his opinion— but then the God of Death suddenly contacted him.

     

    You have two months or so left.

     

    He told him he was going to die.

     

    Or:

     

    Cale is sick and can't do anything about it. He doesn't tell his family. Well, he's got two months to slack, so he may as well make the most of it.

    Summary

    For as long as he could remember, Sakura Haruka was a monster.

    “Look at that hair and eyes,” they would whisper with spite. “Clearly, he’s been possessed by some kind of demon.”

    And in another breath, a voice not human: “Look at that hair and eyes,” filled with fear, “who is that boy acquainted with, and how has he incited so much of their interest?”

    Is he possessed by a demon? Or has he been marked by a spirit?

    (Neither side knows. And neither does Sakura Haruka himself.)

    - in which Sakura Haruka sees youkai.

    Summary

    The first time O’Malley saw the kid was in a low-level underground gambling ring, walls crawling with asbestos and next to every bastard inside armed with something sharp if not something packed with warped metal and gunpowder.

    He couldn’t have been more than thirteen, but he surveyed the crowd of the room with years more experience than he should have. There were scars cutting across exposed bits of skin, sick looking in the light of the place and stretching hotel-bible-page-thin over crooked bones.

    He was a wispy thing. Nothing more than a scrap of a boy stitched together. O’Malley was half-convinced a strong wind might blow him over, but the kid turned, those quick and clever eyes burning across the room and O’Malley could recognize that sort of fight instinct.

    He saw him again half a year later in Northern Florida.

    ~

    On the run with his mother, Neil (before he took the name) put his talents to use in underground gambling rings to make some quick cash. It's a past not half-so-easy to walk away from as Nathan's death was.
