[P] = The Priest of Amaterasu

[H] = Hiruko

Narrator/[P]:

Twenty-years ago, Hashimura shrine was the last bastion against monsters long-since sealed away, including the powerful Onis. The family stationed there protected the world from these monsters, until the patriarch went mad and killed said family. One girl remained, and it was her that seal her father away and come to protect the shrine, making it a place to help and home monsters, not banish them

Long into her career, a new challenger appeared in Hiruko, named the Oni of the Morning Sun, the one fated to destroy her and free his people once more. But that never happened… because they fell in love

[BGM: Monk-like chanting, if desired to-]

[-Fade in on angry arguing]

[Scene opens back at Hashimura Temple]

[SFX: The angry arguing blending in with appropriate nighttime ambiance]

[P] “Priestess of Hashimura! You present an immense audacity and distasteful nature by standing there in wedding garb while you entertain the lust of an Oni!”

[Hiruko rumbles in displeasure… but behaves]

[H] “I’m standing right here…”

[P] “And it is DESPICABLE! How dare you call the Priests of Amaterasu to wed you when you attempt to wed in shame!”

[...]

[SFX: An ominous wind shaking the trees]

[P] “You will not be married here! Not in this land, not in this province, and certainly not under my watch! How dare you defile yourself by submitting to a monster!”

[Pause.]

[Hiruko finally moves, unfolding his arms and stepping forward with just enough conviction that the Priest backs off]

[H] “...We are already married by Oni standards, and have been for decades. You won’t offend me by calling me a beast… I know what I am.”

[P] “Then you should know you are not a man…”

[SFX: A blade being drawn]

[You grab your blade and step forward, but Hiruko stops you]

[H] “Priestess! It’s alright…”

[Pause.]

[The priests look warily at him but maintain their stances]

[P] “... He came here to kill you. To kill ALL of us. Instead, you take him in, same as the other abominations, and allow him to touch you like a lover! He is poison, and we will not approve of this marriage. Never ask again.”

[...]

[With that, they turn and march off, leaving you with your shrine and your Oni King]

[H, grumbling] “...Nice fellows, aren’t they?”

[Pause…]

[H, gentle] “Don’t apologize… It didn’t hurt to ask if a ceremony could be done. These are the same idiots that rant and rave about unmarried women, their opinions are worth the same gunk leftover after a wasp’s nest has been destroyed.”

[...]

[H] “...You really wanted a wedding, didn’t you?”

[Pause…]

[H] “It’s not stupid… You are not stupid for wanting to celebrate our love and feel special doing so. Maybe the ceremony doesn’t matter to me, or my kind, or even monster-kind, but YOU matter. What you want matters... Come here, let me hold you..."

[SFX: Oni cuddles]

[...]

[He snorts but keeps holding you]

[H] “Eugh, I am more emotionally mature, aren’t I? Feels like only three years have passed since I was challenging you to spar over doing stupid chores… Hmhm…”

[...]

[You hate that you’re hurting and, because he is who he is, he is hurting with you]

[H] “...Please don’t cry…I… I’m so sorry you can’t have a wedding because of what I am… Maybe I could find a witch to turn me human? Even if it’s just for a day, I’ll stomach it for you.”

[Pause <3]

[H] “Onis take their partnerships seriously… The females make certain we know how to anticipate our mate’s needs.”

[Pause?]

[He barks out a laugh]

[H] “The males? Argue, bluster, and inevitably get their asses beaten until they get it through their thick skulls that ego can never get in the way if they want to find their one. I used to be way more of a little shit, if you can believe it.”

[Pause <3]

[H] “Heh… You’d rather I be myself when we get married? Mmh… Just one of my many, many reasons I know you are mine… You have never forced me to be something that is not myself, but have pushed me to be a better version… Thank you.”

[Pause <3]

[You recline in his strong arms while you both let the calm of night wash over you]

[H] “...I kind of want to tear that wedding outfit off of you… One, to stick it to those priests. Two, you’re so beautiful in it that it’s making me want to do something reckless…”

[Pause?]

[H] “Like… nibble a shoulder~”.

[Pause!]

[He gives you a few nibbles as you squirm and laugh]

[H] “Maybe get a nip of an ear?”

[Pause !!]

[He laughs, easily gradually back into holding you]

[H] “...Priestess?”

[Pause?]

[When he speaks, he sounds small. Uncertain]

[H] “...Were you… going to tell me… you’re with child…?”

[...]

[He exhales deeply]

[H] “Oh, thank the gods… Love, no one is going to care if we parent out of wedlock, certainly not on my side. Most monster-folk think weddings are stupid.”

[...]

[H, the backpedal master] “Erm… B-But not me, obviously! Mmhm…”

[...]

[H, grumbling] “No, YOU’RE a butt…”

[Pause <3]

[He laughs]

[H] “And I’m going to be a father, yes…”

[Pause?]

[H] “What did I do when I realized? Ran into the garden, grabbed my father by the arms, screamed, ‘YOU’RE GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER’ and then he screamed and we fist fought for about five hours, then had some sake.”

[...]

[Another laugh]

[H] “It’s a huge deal! It’d be the first Oni son born to my family in hundreds of years. Practically a prince, by human standards… Oh, Kaito socked me in the tit, by the way.”

[Pause?]

[H] “For getting you pregnant, apparently. I told him I understood and then threw him into the springs. You understand, I hope.”

[...]

[Hiruko pouts and rolls his eyes]

[H] “I AM behaving! It’s not my fault Kaito still doesn’t like me… Why doesn’t he like me?!”

[Pause…]

[H, grumbling] “I AM giving him time… Rarlglhr… fine… No marriage is perfect. You tolerate my annoying family, I can tolerate Kaito… You best praise me a lot for that, I had to bite back my own grumpiness to where all I can taste is salt.”

[Pause <3]

[H] “Non-sarcastic praise, thank you!”

[...]

[He sighs deeply]

[H] “...I know… I wish it were easier for us, too… And I wish the world was one where our son could stride forward with less fear and prejudice. For now, all we can do is control what we can control, and that is ourselves and our growing family… Alright?”

[...]

[H] “Priestess… You have my word that we will have a human ceremony one day, and your beauty as a bride will shine so much that the goddesses themselves will be jealous. Alright?”

[...Pause <3]

[He kisses your nape, rumbling with a deep affection]

[H] “Good… C’mon, it’s getting cold out. I don’t need you getting sick.”

[He picks you up and carries you back in the shrine as the distant ocean roars. The life in you already burns with excitement for a world you know won’t be pleased to meet him…]

[SFX: Fade out on them returning to the temple together]

[To be continued]

Note: The mocking Hiruko gets from his family for being kind of a simp is ruthless and unending. He doesn’t mind :3
