Devil Chaos
Pairing: Souji x Bashou x Ashiya
Genre: Humor/Friendship
Disclaimer: I do not own Senran Kagura or any of its characters.
Author's Note: Since Ashiya's going to be in New Link, I thought I'd want to write about her. Nobody seems to write about her all that much. XD
Now, with her being a chunni, I may mess it up because the only chunni I know very well is Yoshiko/Yohane from Love Live Sunshine. Maybe chunnis have their own ways of doing things? Who knows? XD
Anyways, please enjoy!
Flowing red hair sways from the wind. A smile that brings happiness to all the girls of Hebijo that walk down the path toward the school. Many stop and turn toward the long haired redhead, who is walking casually with a confident smile.
"Isn't that…Ashiya-san?"
"Yeah, it's her. I haven't heard from her in ages."
"I wonder what made her return."
Ashiya opens her eyes and grins. This is perfect! Everyone notices me! She takes a few deep breaths and turns toward the few girls who were talking amongst themselves.
"Good morning, ladies~" she says.
"Oh…g-good morning!" the trio reply in unison.
Ashiya gives a nod, turns around and continues down the path toward Hebijo. Alright. This is the first step to being a normal girl. Thankfully I got all the help I need.
**Flashback**
"Eh!? Ashiya-san…you have returned!" Bashou exclaimed when she found her hiding inside the ladies restroom.
"Leave me be…Lucifer does not want me to reveal myself anymore. I might as well burn in Hell," Ashiya said, covering her face with her hands. "I failed him! The devil worshiper is no more!"
Souji sighed. "So what you're saying is…you want to change?"
"Yes!" Ashiya jolted her head up, having small tears in her eyes. "Please…! Help me out here! Or the devil shall come and torture me and burn me after that! Lucifer will be pissed if I disobey him!"
There was a bit of silence when Ashiya realized what she had said.
"NO! I did it again!" the redhead cried. "Don't listen to me! That's why I need your help!"
Bashou sweat dropped at this. "I-I don't know how are we able to be of assistance."
"Easy!" Ashiya jumped to her feet with a finger pointed up. "All you two have to do is monitor me. To make sure nothing goes wrong. It's high time for me to turn over a new leaf! My days as a devil worshipper are officially over!"
"Okay...and if that doesn't work?" Souji crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow.
"Uhhhh..." Ashiya sweat dropped at this, not able to think of any back up plans.
Bashou sighed. "You haven't thought this through...?"
"Ugh..." the red-head dropped to her knees, calves at her sides. "It's hopeless. I guess I deserve Lucifer's punishment. This was his plan all along. To keep me from being normal."
Bashou exchanged looks with Souji. The blonde shrugged and the artist walked over toward the slumped redhead.
"Okay...we'll help you," she said. "B-but...we'll do our best."
"I guess if she's doing it, I'll do it too," Souji said.
Ashiya brightened and jumped to her feet again. "Thanks so much! Alright, let's do this!"
Souji and Bashou nodded, but are still unsure whether or not this plan will work.
**End of Flashback**
Ashiya turns around to see her two teammates approach her. Bashou gives a soft smile and waves while Souji flips her hair with a confident smile, making the other girls faint.
"Bashou! Souji! Good morning!" the red-head greets.
"G-good morning to you, too, Ashiya-san," Bashou says.
"A pleasant morning indeed," Souji says.
The blonde and greenette catch up to the redhead, Souji on Ashiya's right, Bashou on her left. Seems that this plan is working great. The redhead wants to make sure it'll stay that way.
"So...have any of the girls said anything about me while I was, um...away?" Ashiya asks.
"No. All they were doing is wondering where you were," Bashou answers. "You've been gone for a while.
"R-really? They haven't said anything about my...you know what?"
Souji nods. "Honestly, they haven't said a word about it. After that stunt you did, you just ran away. That's it."
"Oh...then this is definitely my chance to redeem myself," Ashiya says.
"I-I hope it'll go well," Bashou says with a nervous smile.
"I'm sure it will!" Ashiya says with a confident smile. "Don't worry! In no time, I'll make lots of friends without any trouble!"
**Later**
"Ashiya-san, it's so good that you're back!" one girl says as she and the others gather around her after class.
"I wasn't sure if you were okay!"
"Hey, Ashiya-san! Is it alright if we can be friends?"
The redhead looks back and forth at the girls and smiles. "Of course. We can all be friends if you like."
"Hooray~!" the girls cheer happily.
Bashou gives a nod and smiles while Souji crosses her arms under her large bosom with a confident smile.
"I guess it did go well," Souji says.
"Mmhmm. Ashiya-san is having a good time with them," Bashou replies. "She's able to control herself so far."
"Yes, but for how long?" Souji asks.
"W-well, just as Ashiya-san told us: to monitor her," The greenette says. "F-for now I don't see anything that might trigger her...alter ego…"
"Hey, do you do anything for fun?" one girl asks.
"Well, no, not in particular," Ashiya begins to reply. Just then, an idea pops in her head. 'Wait a minute! I can't let this go to waste! Just when I have so many friends!' "Ummmm...maybe some rituals or something?"
"Oh? Are you a shrine maiden?" another girl asks.
"Perhaps you pray to the gods every day," another girl says.
"Not just many gods," Ashiya stands up and raises her arms high. "There is one and only one! And no, it's not a God!" She digs into her school bag and pulls out two strips of paper with strange yellow writing on them. She holds them in the air, laughing. "I am actually a devil worshipper! Hahahaha! I serve Lucifer himself! Only the devil can save me from my-EEK!"
She can feel intense stares from Bashou and Souji and the rest of the girls are dumbfounded by this act.
'Crap! I did it again...!' Ashiya thinks.
**Later**
"What...exactly is going on?" Rin asks with her eyebrow twitching.
"You were supposed to monitor me!" Ashiya whines. "Now everything is ruined!"
"How were we supposed to know you were sneaking that stuff in?" Souji says.
"Y-you really can't control yourself, can you?" Bashou says nervously.
The three of them are in the hidden common room of Hebijo where they are holding their meeting. And Ashiya isn't doing so well. Though Rin has other important matters to attend to.
"Ahem! If we can begin, there is some trouble near the city," Rin explains. "Apparently, some experiment has gone wrong and this plant creature is on the loose."
"Wh-what's the location?" Bashou asks.
Rin holds up the map on her phone. The red mark indicates the creature approaching the big city. "You have to kill it before it does harm to anyone."
"Y-you can count on us!" Bashou nods. "We'll take care of it!" She turns to her two teammates. "Ashiya-san! Souji-san!"
"Right!" Souji nods. "I'm ready! Uhhhh...Ashiya?"
"I'll stay behind." the red-head sighs. "I cannot control my personality no matter how hard I try. Being a devil worshipper is just some made up thing, right? Haha..."
"Th-there's no time to be sulking like this!" Bashou cries. "We HAVE to save the city!"
"I'm sorry, girls," Ashiya says. "But I'll just be in your way."
Rin frowns and then turns to Bashou and Souji. "Looks like it's up to you girls."
Souji dashes off while Bashou looks at the redhead worriedly and approaches her. "Listen...at times like this...m-maybe now is the moment where...the devil really can save you. The point is: you should be proud of who you are. It's you...being you. If you like it, that's fine."
"Bashou..." Ashiya turns to the artist, who smiles a soft smile.
"You're part of our team," the greenette says. "Don't forget that, okay?" With that, she dashes off to follow Souji.
There is a bit of silence. The red-head looks down at the floor. She can hear Rin say, "It's for you to decide what path you want to truly walk on. No one else should tell you otherwise."
Ashiya doesn't answer as she stares at the ground. Bashou and Rin's words flow in her head. She's part of the new Elite Hebijo. She's their teammate despite her chunni personality. She gets to her feet and turns toward her teacher with a confident smile.
"I'll be right back," she says. "I have to...help my teammates." She dashes off without another word.
Rin closes her eyes and smiles.
**The City**
Everyone runs and screams from a plant-like Yoma, spraying some kind of pink dust everywhere. Thankfully, it doesn't touch the people, but it dissolves the cars, lamp poles and even some buildings. Bashou and Souji, now in their Tenshin forms, speed toward it and stop right in front of it to block its path.
"It's big and huge!" Bashou says.
"Not my problem! I'll just wrap it up!" Souji spins her chain whip and thrusts it forward, but it gets blocked by a large leaf from the monster.
Bashou jumps in the air and tries to cut its arms down with her paintbrush disguised as a sword. However the plant Yoma smacks her away, sending her flying and hitting the ground.
"Ba-chan!" Souji cries.
Souji grits her teeth and charges straight on. SHe thrusts her whip again to try and hit it. It gets blocked again and the Yoma shoots out vines from its hand. It traps Souji and it pulls the blonde closer towards its face.
"Grrr! Let me go! You're disgusting! Get away!" Souji tries her hardest to struggle, but the vines squeeze tighter, preventing her to struggle even further. The yoma shoots out the pink dust at her face and throws her down on the ground.
"Sou-chan!" Bashou cries as she runs to her aid.
Souji pants heavily from being hit by that. However, instead of dissolving like the rest, the effects of it are somehow different. Bashou looks at her dear friend in concern.
"Sou-chan! Sou-chan, are you alright!? Speak to me!" she cries.
"I'm so...weak...so hot..." Souji lets out a soft moan. "Ba-chan...help me..."
"E-eh...!?"
It is then that she is silenced by a kiss by Souji.
"Mmmph! S-Sou-chan...what's wrong with you...mmmm...mmmchu...haaah...!" Bashou is pinnned down on the ground. Souji's Transformation wears off and so does Bashou's.
"I can't take it anymore...please...help me stop this feeling...!" Souji dives in for another kiss and she strips off her own clothing in the process.
"Wh-whaaaa?" Bashou looks back at the yoma who has sprayed the dust on other people who were unable to escape and they themselves are going at it as well. "Th-this Yoma...can do something like that…!?"
Ashiya arrives just in time, but she is shocked to see her two teammates making out. "Whaaaaa!? YOU TWO! STOP BEING ALL LOVEY DOVEY AND FIGHT!"
"W-we can't...!" Bashou says. "Th-this yoma has the power to make people...d-do lewd things! And Souji-san was affected by that dust! D-don't go near it...! Mmmmph!"
"Ba-chan...ohhh...Ba-chaaaan~!" Souji is sweating and panting heavily. She is now in her underwear and kissing Bashou like there's no tomorrow.
"Hurry!" Bashou cries. "Or we'll get consumed by...by..." And then, something comes over the greenette. There are hearts in her eyes and she turns to Souji. "My darling...Sou-chan~! I love you...please be mine!"
"OH, MY GOD!" Ashiya shrieks. "Souji must have affected you while she was kissing you!"
The redhead turns toward the yoma, readying her chakrams. "You're going down. And the devil himself...shall give me strength!"
She jumps in the air and heads toward the Yoma. It turns around and tries to trap her with its vines. She cuts them all down with ease and throws one at its arm. It cuts the arm off like knife through butter. The Yoma tries to shoot its pink dust at her, but she uses her ninja speed to evade it and get behind it. She cuts off the other arm and trips it with her leg. She jumps on top of it, raising both of her chakrams.
"This is the end!" she says. "Lucifer! Give me the power and finish this yoma off!"
Her chakrams glow red and she slashes its head off with red light trailing from the swings. She jumps off and the yoma dissolves. The Yoma's effects wear off as well, making the people, who are clearly in their undies wonder what's going on.
"EEEEK!" Bashou and Souji cry out. "WHY ARE WE NAKED!?"
"I-it's the effects of that yoma!" Ashiya quickly replies. "Hurry! We must help these people and get out of here!"
"R-right!" Bashou and Souji say.
**Later**
After a while, the people are saved and the trio are in the dorms. They quickly put their uniforms back on and helped the people who were also affected. Then, they made it back to Hebijo to give Rin the good news and she let them rest for the day. Bashou offered to invite Ashiya to their shared dorm room, which surprised the redhead.
A few minutes later, the trio are on the edge of the large bed that both Souji and Bashou share with Ashiya in the middle, the greenette on her left and the blonde on her right. There is a bit of silence before Bashou breaks the ice.
"Th-thanks for saving us," the shy greenette says.
"What made you change your mind?" Souji asks.
Ashiya closes her eyes and smiles. "Well…thanks to Bashou, I think I've realized something. Being myself isn't such a bad thing. I guess me acting a certain way can entertain some people, sometimes annoy others. But for me, I enjoy what I do. Being a devil worshipper? That's fine with me."
Bashou brightens. "That's great! I'm so glad you've accepted yourself!"
Souji closes her eyes and flips her hair. "Hmph! Accepting yourself is perfect. Just like how I~accept my perfect self!"
"Ummm…Sou-chan….this isn't about you." Bashou says and then turns toward the red-head. "A-anyways, Ashiya-san…no…Sh-Shiya-chan!"
"Wha!?" The redhead squeaks at the new pet name.
"Ohhhh, I see you are giving her a cute nickname~" Souji says. "I like it~"
"Wait, wait, wait! I shouldn't earn a nickname!" Ashiya says. "I'm a devil worshipper! In the name of Lucifer, I shan't be called such a cute name! He'll definitely punish me for not acting all high and mighty!"
"Hehe! D-don't worry. I think you deserve it because…you're our friend," Bashou says. "No…more than that. It's…nice having you around, Shiya-chan. Please…be by our side from now on?"
Souji scoots over and wraps an arm around the redhead, winking at her. "Both of us accepted you for who you are, girl. Now can you accept us? Be with us like girlfriends?"
"I-I'm sure this is a sin…!" Ashiya says. "Having three together isn't right! But…but…maybe doing something so sinful isn't so bad since I serve the devil."
"Hehe! Are you willing~?" Bashou asks, holding out her hand.
The redhead hesitates for a moment. She swallows hard and nods. "F-fine. I'll join you. But only if….only if you two will be my subordinates for the devil. Seems like I can't serve Lucifer alone."
The artist and narcissist nod.
"Of course~" Bashou says.
"We can be devil worshippers together," Souji adds, pumping a fist. "Teach us everything you know, Shiya-chan."
Ashiya blinks twice before closing her eyes and smiling. "I'm touched. You two have helped me a lot today."
Bashou scoots over and hugs her. "That's because we're teammates. We're supposed to help each other."
"Exactly," Souji also hugs the redhead from the other side. "We'll be doing that from now on, alright? Never forget you're part of the team."
"You two…" Ashiya smiles a small smile. And then…she can feel lips touch both sides of her cheeks, making her blush heavily. "EH!? Y-you two….!?"
"Hehe~! Together forever," Bashou giggles.
"As a reward for accepting us," Souji says.
The redhead blinks twice again. "M-mou…you two…"
Bashou and Souji exchange looks and share some giggles. Then, they embrace their teammate again.
"We love you, Shiya-chan~!" both of them say in unison.
Ashiya returns the embrace, smiling a small smile. Maybe it's not so bad to go out with the two of them. However, there is another matter that needs to be taken care of.
**Next Day**
Ashiya stands nervously in front of the door of the classroom. Bashou and Souji are right beside her.
"Y-you can do this!" the greenette encourages her.
"Take deep breaths," Souji says. "We're right with you if anything goes wrong."
"R-right." Ashiya says. She digs into her skirt pocket to take out her strip of paper with yellow writing on it and holds it close to her chest. "Oh, dear Lucifer. Please give me strength. And save me from this torment if this does not go well." She then shoves it back into her pocket and puts on a face of determination. "Okay. Here I go!"
She slides open the door and the girls draw their attention to the redhead, who walks in. They are staring at her, making her feel a bit nervous. Souji and Bashou walk alongside her, feeling those intense stares as well. But after taking their seats, the girls suddenly gather around Ashiya, surprising her.
"Ashiya-san!" one girl shouts.
"Y-yes…?" the redhead says, nervously.
"That thing you did? That was….SO COOL~!" the girl squeals.
"EEEEEHHHH!?" Ashiya, Bashou and Souji exclaim in unison.
"Yeah! I didn't know I could actually meet a real devil worshipper!" Another girl says.
"I thought they were just myths!" another girl adds.
"But we now can learn a thing or two about worshipping the devil! Ashiya-san, will you teach us sometime~?" a third girl pleads.
"Yeah, teach me too!" another girl pleads. "I wanna learn the rituals!"
"Everyone…" Ashiya looks back and forth at the crowd.
Then, she sees Bashou and Souji walks over by her side and hold up their own strips of paper with yellow writing.
"A devil worshipper cannot serve the devil alone without having some subordinates," Souji says.
"We are here to help her out, everyone," Bashou says. "We would like all of your support if you can."
Ashiya feels like crying from happiness. She cannot believe that all of the girls have accepted her true self, not just Bashou and Souji. As she watches the girls talk amongst themselves, Ashiya stands up from her chair and pulls out her two strips of paper.
"Alright, my subjects!" the redhead says and holds up the papers in the air. "Be prepared for an awesome ritual today! For I, Ashiya, the servant of Lucifer, summon all of you as my subordinates! We will worship him! We will bow down to him! Have him accept us as his pupils! Are you willing to walk down that path~?"
"YES, MA'AM!" everyone else shouts.
"Then, let the ritual…BEGIN!"
A/N: I tried my hardest on the chunni part for Ashiya. XD It's difficult to master, honestly. Hehe! And the battle itself…well…since it's Senran Kagura, I thought might as well. XD Something a little ecchi here and there. Haha. XD
A-anyways, hope you enjoyed this piece. To celebrate Ashiya's debut.
Have a nice day!
