光 — And so the pleasantries began.

❝Yoake, simply and plainly. Unfortunately I have no family name to give you. I apologize for that.❞

He couldn’t be sure whether or not this particular shrine kept registries on Hoshidan families, knowing the country to be very strict of keeping their family names “clean” and under tight watch. He thought of a particular ninja clan and their heads, where their first born sons were given the family name in order to uphold lineage. The fact that he had no family name to give her might deter her from interacting with him further, but Yoake could care less. After all, she was but a small shrine maiden in this massive land called Hoshido.

❝I hope we can get along well, Cho.❞

This HC is inspired by @magewielded from here: [x]. I suggest reading that before reading this.

光 — ❝Ah, no worries.❞

Was he always this apologetic? The swordsman wondered to himself if it was simply out of politeness for straying from the conversation at hand or if the ninja was genuinely apologizing for his lack of attention. Regardless, it didn’t really matter to Yoake as he watched the squirrel scamper back off into the woods.

❝I’ll be honest with you since you seem to hold your tongue well.❞

He paused, allowing himself time to collect his thoughts.

❝I cannot say whether or not I recognize the name as I have... No memories to recall. Maybe my past self had recognized the location, perhaps even visiting the area often. However, my current self has no recollections of any kind - therefore everything is new to me. So you could say I’m kind of stuck between knowing and unknowing many things I come across.❞

He took a small breath in before continuing on.

❝I’d prefer if you didn’t tell anyone as I don’t wish to be treated as an unfortunate passerby who remembers nothing but his name.❞

光 — ❝Well, aren’t you just optimistic.❞

Her statement wasn’t wrong. As Yoake glanced at the smile on the maiden’s face he couldn’t help the feeling that creeped up on his conscious, there was something here.

But being the stubborn man he was, he refused to ask the woman for advice.

❝Perhaps I do have a purpose in being here, but I’m not planning on telling you, despite your status. I have my own reasons for privacy and I won’t reveal them to anybody, much less to someone whose name I do not yet know.❞

光 — ❝Well, that’s a little disappointing.❞

Of course, Yoake cared not whether the head priest was available or out on business. The main reason he had come here was to investigate the place himself. He didn’t need guidance from people of the cloth as his problems could not be easily solved, but he decided to amuse the maiden before him.

❝Ah, if only things were that simple.❞

Were his problem something as miniscule as money or relationships, then he would have had no problem dealing with the issue himself. The issue lay in the fact that Yoake had no recollection of who he was and that he was searching for somebody. He was almost certain that any guidance that he had previously followed must have failed miserably if he couldn’t remember his own self.

The man lost himself in his thoughts before turning his attention again to the maiden, a little surprised by her bold statement. A smirk befell his lips at the little game she created. Oh, this was definitely a game Yoake could partake in.

❝Hmm, getting bold are we? And what if I said that were the case?❞

kazealous :

光 — ❝Huh, I guess you’re the real deal then if you were raised in a ninja village.❞

Raising his hands in a defensive manner, he quickly looked to the ninja’s face, studying it for any signs of aggression.

❝Oh, I didn’t mean that in any way to offend you. Ha ha, sometimes my tongue slips and I say the first thing that comes to mind.❞

Igasato.

For some reason the name sounded familiar to him, as if it were a memory of an age long past. Strange.

Putting a smile back on his face, Yoake turned to the ninja.

❝Hm, would it be odd if I said I don’t know if I am?❞

A faint chuckle escaped his lips before he looked out to the path before them. What better way to raise the ninja’s suspicion than to give a vague answer? Well, it was too late to take back his words now. So he thought to himself as he continued along with his partner.
