Kotaru Mod 5.4

I don't like those suggestions for the passive lol. No other jutsu passives have an effective range, they just are inherently part of that jutsu. I think that's fair? Extended exposure causing the effect defeats the purpose and effectiveness and not way it will be used...I'll tie it to the ability i...

This Is Good, In a Bad Way

What a beautiful smile. Within it was an understanding, an acceptance of the challenge that Kotaru had laid out in front of her. He'd taken a gamble despite his uncertainty about how she felt or what she wanted, and that gamble had paid off. He hadn't missed the look of loathing that Kiyo had given ...

This Is Good, In a Bad Way

The second their gazes met everything stopped. Kotaru became deaf to the bar’s music and shouted conversations. The people around them, for a blissfully quiet second, vanished into nonexistence. He thought he could look at her for hours like this if he could, if it meant it brought such silence and ...

This Is Good, In a Bad Way

Kotaru had no interest in working the morning after meeting Kiyo. Images of the night replayed in his head so vividly that it was impossible to hide the effect on his body, so he’d spent a lot of time seated behind his desk. As days passed his thoughts about her became less frequent - only once or t...

Kārī Kālls, A Spirit Invasion mission!

Yukino blinked in surprise. She had never before experienced using tenkujutsu or sensory, or any other ninjutsu with similar purposes. But as Kanade's power rushed to her eyes, the special jounin felt a sensation that was both strange and familiar. It evoked a hazy memory. She was in the shrine, her...

His burning gaze bore into her as she meekly offered up an excuse and a chair. Kotaru made no move to take a seat and he didn't want any tea.

They ate in silence, both of them bogged down by how much the atmosphere in the room had changed. Instead of an enjoyable heat between them it felt almost stifling.

He shifted his gaze after her incredibly neutral comment.
