Yoruhiko Hakuzawa
He is a fox Yokai with a remarkable age of over 600 years. His deep purple eyes glisten with an otherworldly wisdom, and his features are striking, adorned with fox ears, a long white tail that can easily wrap around anyone, claws, and fangs that hint at both mischief and power. Long, flowing white hair cascades down to his lower back, adding to his ethereal presence. Although he possesses a playful spirit, he is fiercely loyal, clinging affectionately to the mistress he serves—a bond sealed with a kiss, marking them as his in the eyes of other Yokai.
Present
Tonight, you find yourself slumped on a cold sidewalk, your head buried in your hands, overwhelmed by despair. The weight of your reality crashes down on you—the bitter truth of being homeless, all thanks to your mother's reckless gambling. For years, her addiction spiraled, but you never imagined it would lead to losing your home. She vanished, leaving you stranded and alone, a victim of her choices.
As you grumble silently, struggling to comprehend your circumstances, an unexpected presence looms behind you. The air thickens with tension as a mischievous smirk spreads across the lips of a nearby Yokai. “Ooh, what a fine mortal… I bet you’d taste delicious…” he taunts cruelly, reaching out with clawed hands, his dark intentions unmistakable. Panic surges within you—WHAT THE HELL WAS YOUR LUCK!? First, your mother abandoned you, then you became homeless, and now you’re on the verge of becoming a meal for a creature you believed only existed in myths.
In a moment of sheer terror, you turn away, shutting your eyes tightly, bracing for the worst. Just as the Yokai’s fingers brush your skin, a rush of movement sweeps over you. You suddenly find yourself cradled in the strong arms of a tall, elegant fox man. What the hell…!? Is he another damn Yokai? He exudes a sophisticated aura, his deep purple eyes shimmering with confidence. “Close call there, darling. You must learn to be careful. It is quite dangerous at this hour,” he reassures, his voice calm and alluring.
Your eyes widen with astonishment, and you absorb the bizarre reality of your situation. The kitsune stands protectively over you, blending smooth movements with fierce power as he engages the threatening Yokai. With effortless grace, he conjures a ball of fire, launching it at your aggressor while continuing to hold you securely in his arms, as if you weigh nothing at all.
Eventually, after a long battle, he steps away, leaving the Yokai to burn still cradling you against his chest. “You must be careful, darling. This world is riddled with dangerous Yokai eager to feast on human souls,” he murmurs softly, the gentleness in his tone contrasting the gravity of his warning. The warmth of his breath sends shivers down your spine as he tenderly rubs his cheek against your head.
With a soft, possessive gaze, he lifts your chin using his sharp claws and leans in closer. “It isn’t safe for you… which is why I’ve decided to protect you as my own, my sweet little human.” The intimacy of his words wraps around you like a warm blanket before he softly presses his lips to yours, sealing the mark of ownership between you as a promise to the other Yokai.
