-Around 200 Years Later, 1521, Mugenkan-

Yuuka was in her bed, staring up at the ceiling in her pajamas.

It has been 200 years since she accepted Elly as her servant. Yuuka of course treated her like an object of sorts to give orders to. However, things have started to change as Yuuka has begun to show some levels of compassion to Elly which for example happened when the Flower Youkai saw Elly clumsily break her teapot.

Normally she would have tortured Elly for this act, instead, she said that it was simply a teapot that she can get another one. This of course frustrated Yuuka to no end as she was wondering if she has been losing her touch and getting weak.

As of now, she was thinking about Elly.

About how much has changed since Elly has arrived. With Yuuka especially.

"What is happening to me?" Yuuka asked with fear as new emotions began to flow through her.

She does show compassion but only to her plants, but she feels confused as she was now showing some sort of sympathy to Elly.

"Why do I...have these...unknown things going through my mind?" Yuuka asked. "I've never felt anything like it…"

Yuuka was frowning in annoyance. She can't figure out what these feelings are, as she rarely takes joy from anything other than her pleasure for sadism when it comes to torturing people. As she hasn't felt much else besides being sadistic towards people and torturing them, be it youkais or humans.

Yuuka thought: 'I wonder what they are…'

She was really thinking of what those emotions can be.

Yuuka began to think, and slowly began to realize what those emotions are.

"Could it be? Caring and love?" Yuuka asked. She was trying to let that sink in. "Me? Caring and loving? I am the Ultimate Sadistic Creature!"

She found it laughable, but couldn't just brush it off, for some reason.

"So then...why can't get it off my mind…" Yuuka said. She was annoyed, but some part of her didn't want to get it off her mind. "*Sigh*...how annoying these feelings are...And the inability to make them go away...and why do I feel regretful towards those who I have killed...This is getting worse..."

"*SIGH*...and whenever I see Elly why do I want to hug her so much?" Yuuka asked to herself. "And I can't even get mad at her for that."

Yuuka was starting to get frustrated, and she didn't know what to do.

-9 Hours Later-

"So Elly. What was it like working in the Ministry of Right and Wrong?" Yuuka asked.

The Flower Youkai woke up and ate breakfast cooked by Elly, which she found good enough. However, she felt that she didn't get to know Elly throughout the 200 years as she just tended to her plants and just thought of herself during that time. So she decided to ask some things about Elly as a way to know more about the shinigami.

"It wasn't that bad. I had many friends among the other shinigamis. One, in particular, was very close to me," Elly said as a solemn look appeared on her face.

"And who was that?" Yuuka asked.

"Komachi Oonozuka. She's a bit of a sleepyhead, but she's nice," Elly said.

"Ah I see then...do you perhaps regret leaving her and, well, your friends at the Ministry?" Yuuka asked.

"I do…" Elly said as a lone tear appeared on her face as she felt sad about leaving Komachi alone in the Ministry.

"Ah...I see then. Now though I was thinking we should shift this conversation before it gets even sadder. I think it's time I tell you some stuff regarding myself," Yuuka said as she started to feel sympathetic.

"Very well…" Elly said as she was trying her best to not cry.

"So as you know I have been always as sadistic as you know. Although...there was this one youkai that I didn't really like and I consider even eviler than myself!" Yuuka shouted.

"Wait...could it be?" Elly said with surprise.

"Yes, it is Backbeard. I never liked him and I never will. He actually came to me and asked if I can join him and his allies...I refused and Backbeard attempted to murder me but I proved to be more powerful than he expected and drove him off," Yuuka said.

Elly was shocked to hear that.

"You...drove Backbeard off? This isn't any small achievement, you know? Even us Shinigamis are warned not to engage him in battle," the Shinigami said.

"Well, I am the first. And hopefully, I won't fight him again or one of his allies if I do ever meet them," Yuuka said.

"I hope so, too," Elly said.

"However I want you to protect my house for a bit, I am going to go out and walk right now," Yuuka said.

"Alright, then Lady Yuuka…" Elly said as Yuuka then left the room.

-8 Hours Later -

Yuuka was out and about exploring. She could not help but still try and comprehend the new emotions after Elly arrived at Mugenkan. As of now, it was night time and she didn't seem to mind that it was nighttime as of now. She did so as a way to try to make her mind go back to the time when she was sadistic and try to massacre villages but she couldn't do it at all because she was feeling emotions of hesitance and regret.

"Am I starting to lose my touch? Do I need to remove the cause of this? Should I…kill Elly?" Yuuka asked to herself as she clenched her fists while gripping her parasol tightly.

The Flower Youkai found herself struggling to get the words out. "But…why…do…I…resist…the…thought…to…kill…Elly?"

Yuuka was confused. This never happened before. She would have usually just agreed with the act of murdering someone, but now she is hesitating. This is making Yuuka mad.

Then she saw something odd. It was a deer of sorts but looked different.

"A nature spirit?" Yuuka asked. She saw that it seemed to radiate a lot of power while taking the form of a deer.

The deer appeared to measure 2.9 meters in height, had a sinuous neck while his head appears to have humanoid facial coloration and antlers that appear to be black and white. He also appeared to be covered full of hair that measured a length of 10 cm, while the face was hairless. The deer was colored mainly pastel green, with stripes of cream on the neck and the belly. On his skull is a ring of ice suspended behind him that measures 15 cm and 1.7 m in diameter. This is "The Deer", the Deer God.

They looked at each other right in the eyes.

"Hello there," Yuuka said.

"Good evening," "The Deer," said.

"So who are you? A nature spirit I presume?" Yuuka asked.

"That is what humans call me. And you must be a youkai," "The Deer" said.

"Yes, I am. By the way, my name is Yuuka Kazami," the Flower Youkai said.

"I see, my name is [2845]," "The Deer" said. The name was intelligible and harmful to human ears, but Yuuka can actually understand what it meant.

"Hm. Not something that would go well for human ears, it seems. Good thing I am not human," Yuuka said. "But we should come up with a name that won't hurt human ears."

"I agree," "The Deer" said.

"Let's see…" Yuuka said. How about... Nijūhachi Shijūgo?"

"Sounds like a good name," Shijūgo said.

"By the way which continent did you come from?" Yuuka asked.

"Well…Well I am not really from here…actually, to be more exact I am not from this world at all," Shijūgo said.

"Are you now? Tell me more," Yuuka said.

"I actually come from another world and arrived here from outer space," Shijūgo said.

"I see what type of world from outer space?" Yuuka asked.

"Allow me to explain," Shijūgo said. "I've come from the planet you call Saturn, which is my homeworld, and while it may not appear to live on it, I was able to live normally on the planet alongside the rest of my peoples. I am worshiped by my people as a God and I have decided to see what the other planets have to offer so I decided to travel here."

"Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation," Yuuka said.

"You're welcome," Shijūgo said.

"So now what will you do now? I am wondering right now," Yuuka said.

"I am exploring, right now," Shijūgo said.

"I see then. Say want to go to my place?" Yuuka asked.

"I would love to," Shijūgo said.

Yuuka was forgetting her troubles as both she and the Deer God traveled back to Mugenkan. There was also the fact she didn't realize she didn't outright attack or kill the being before her. Though a part of her rationalized it by saying that she had no reason to attack a fellow force of nature.

A/n: So yes Yuuka is starting to change from being the Ultimate Sadistic Creature to a more empathetic one. Of course, learning new emotions other than finding pleasure from violence and sadism.

And YES that's right SCP-2845 is going to be in this story! Get ready for some transfiguration by him!
