Our Multiverse Adventure as Gokaigers

...=pause for a few seconds while talking

----------------------------------------------------------

"As far as I can remember I've always been Shinobu. It's just that I've memories from my past life. To begin my story, we'll have to go back a long time."

"I was just an average girl you could find anywhere with rich parents. My parents were never home, and I had no real friends at school. I slowly got used to an empty house with no one in it except me. My parents and I never got along when they're home, I was never good enough for them."

"I became lonely, depressed, stressed and accepted myself to be alone forever. I stopped caring about other peoples and started watching anime and movies as a way for me to escape my reality. I mostly spend my free time listening to old songs on YouTube. "Fly me to the moon" was one of my favourite songs I listened to when I'm alone."

"On my seventeenth birthday me and my mother got into a fight over my grades at school, and it went... pretty bad. When I talked back to her, she slapped me, and she said that...she wishes she never had me as her child."

"After that, I ran into my bedroom and cried for so long it felt like forever... and suicidal thoughts slowly started to appear on my mind. My thoughts at the time were (No one is going to miss me if I die.) so I killed myself and when I woke up, I was a baby."

"I was happy in this new life. I abandoned my old name and took the one my parents in this world gave me. I had a loving and caring new family and an older sister whom I can rely on but one day a demon attacked our family. Our parents told me and my sister to hide in the closet and they confronted the demon."

"They were killed right before our eyes and me and my sister would've died too if it wasn't for Himejima-san; the stone Hashira. I was devastated. In my last life my parents never loved nor cared for me but in this life, when I finally have a family who cares deeply for me, it was taken away."

"I was sad, but I still had my sister to count on and we trained together. Both of us promised to become Demon Slayers to protect each other and we convinced Himejima-san to introduce us to a Demon Slayer Trainer."

"Not long after we became demon slayers, my sister became the Flower Hashira. We worked together to kill countless demons together. One day, when we were passing by a village, we saw a young child tied up in ropes walking along with a man."

"My sister took notice of the little girl and asked the man why she was tied up. The man told us that he purchased her from her parents. I didn't know what it was but listening to her story, her parents reminded me of mine from my past life. They never loved nor cared for us so, I wanted to help her."

"I asked my sister if we can take her in and she said yes. So, I punched the man in the face, cut the ropes and ran away carrying her. After that we bathed her, dressed her and named her Kanao Tsuyuri."

"She lived in the Butterfly Mansion with her adoptive sisters and four other girls who were also orphaned by demons Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo and Naho. Kanao couldn't decide anything on her own because of her past and so, my sister gave her a coin and instructed her to flip it if she ever needed help making decisions."

"She couldn't do anything without being told, but Kanao was gifted. She learned Flower Breathing just by watching me and my sister train together. We didn't agree at first, but when she didn't stop training in secret. We finally agreed... I didn't know how foolish it was at the time."

"Over the next few years, my sister often took Kanao out on missions to trained as her Tsuguko. My sister was a Hashira, and a very strong one at that. So, I wasn't worried about Kanao's safety but in the end, it became a mistake I regret till this day."

"One day, me Kanao and my sister went on a mission to investigate a demon. We split up to cover more ground, with Kanao and my sister going to the east side and me going to the west of the town. I searched the west side of the town thoroughly but didn't find anything unusual."

"Just then, my sister's crow arrived and informed me that my sister and Kanao were facing an upper rank demon. I rushed there at fast as I could but when I arrived there...Kanao was missing her head and my sister barely breathing."

"I ran to check on my sister, but her injuries were too severe to be heal. With her dying breaths she said "Shinobu, leave the Demon Slayer Corps. I know your training really hard without telling us but maybe you're better off *cough* *cough* I just want you to live like any normal girl would and live until you turn really old..." but I couldn't do that."

"In my past life, I didn't know familial love and in this life, when I finally had it, it was taken away from me. My parents, my sister and Kanao they were all taken away from me right before my eyes. I swore vengeance against the demon who kill my sister and have been searching for him ever since."

"I shut myself off from other people and pretended to fine in front of them with my cheerful demeanor but when I heard you singing that song it...it remined me of my past *Tearing up*and... and... *sniff* I finally found someone *sniff* whom I could talk freely. I... couldn't hold in anymore. *sobbing*"

Shinobu finished telling her story and started crying. I immediately released her arms and legs and embraced her, knowing that everything she just said was true because of my hearing ability. I've been listening to her heartbeats from the start to detect any lie but there were no lies in her words.

She continued crying in my embrace as I rub her head with my hand, and said "I'm sorry, for making you relive that experience. I'm sure it was hard, but you can let it out now." and we stayed like that. After a while she stopped crying but still didn't let me go and we sat there in silence until she broke the silence.

"Thank you... for listening. I guess... I needed this more than I thought. I felt a weight being lifted off my shoulders." Shinobu said while still in my embrace.

"You're welcome. I'll be glad to do this again whenever you need me." I replied back as I gently rub her back.

"Now that I've told you my story, can you... tell me yours?" Shinobu asked while wiping her eyes.

"Well, mine's not that interesting... I was just an average guy with parents who never got along with one another, When I turned twelve, they divorced, and I lived with my mom. At school I didn't have many friends I could count on, and I began to only see the negative side of things."

"Unlike you, I didn't have enough courage to commit suicide... so, I tried to escape reality watching anime, manga, tv-shows and movies. I slowly became a shut-in. There was one this one movie called 'Gokaiger vs Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle' that made me have hope again. Even though I know its childish to watch that kind of movie, I really liked it."

"In that movie's subplot, a salaryman was laid off from his job, and while going to an antique store to sell the toy he had as a child, he consider suicide on the street, but the heroes saved him and asked him what was wrong."

"The salaryman answered that he was fired and had lost his hopes and dreams. The only future he sees for himself is pitch black. That line really made me felt like the salaryman and I were the same person. I didn't know what to do for myself and just going with the flow day after day."

"The heroes didn't give up and encourage him not to lose hope and Ryo from Dairanger offered him a serving of his gyoza with a smile. They told the salaryman to pursue a future that's better than yesterday."

"Strating from that moment I admired Super Sentai, I admired their courage, to be able to face anything with a smile. But I couldn't do that with my point of view on life. I wasn't as kind nor as forgiving as them. I won't hesitate to kill even a child if he/she tried to kill me."

"You must think I'm crazy right? Not hesitating to kill even a child." I asked Shinobu as I released her from the embrace.

"Not at all... Believe it or not, Even I won't hesitate to kill a child either if he/she is trying to kill me." Shinobu said seriously while looking into my eyes.

I broke eye contact with her and continued talking "I died because of a grenade landing in front of me when I was about to leave home. I woke up into a white void and saw a being called R.O.B and he gave me 5 wishes. 1 for every 10 years of my life."

"What were your wishes?" Asked Shinobu curiously.

"That's a secret." I replied back, winking at her and she pouted.

After that we sat beside each other and continued talking about our current live in the demon slayer world.

"Wait, you said you watched anime, but you don't know demon slayer, one of the most popular anime?"

"Demon Slayer? You mean... the current world we're living in is an anime?" Shinobu asked surprise.

"Shinobu, what was the year when you died if you don't mind me asking?"

"If I remembered correctly, it was 2018. Why?" She asked looking puzzled.

"I died in 2022. We're 4 years apart when we died." She widened her eyes and yelled out in surprise.

"No way! Is the world better or more advance in 2022 than in 2018?" She widened her eyes and asked me as she moved her head close to mine.

I looked down and said, "*sigh* Shinobu, I'm sorry to tell you about the bad news but, you better prepare yourself for this."

"?" She cutely tilted her head.

"You see in 2019..." I told her about the state of the world starting from 2018 till 2022, and after I finished telling her, she lowered her head and became silent.

"*Heh*I don't know whether it's a blessing or not that I died in 2018."She gave a dejected smile.

"*clap* All right! That's enough with the depressing news." I clapped my hands loud enough for her to hear.

"How about we talk about other things instead of this."

"Such as?"

"Well how about wha... what about what you like as a gift." I asked her and scratched the back of my head, trying not to be obvious.

"A gift?"

"Well... I swore that I'm going to get stronger than you and go on a date with you remember?" I said while blushing.

"Oh... I wasn't sure... you would still be interested in me after I told you about my past." said Shinobu while twirling her hair with her finger as she slowly blushed.

"*smirk* If my feelings for you were that easy to remove then I wouldn't call myself a man." I said and gave her a thumb up.

"Pftt... hahahaha. You know that's kind of cheesy right?" Shinobu said after laughing and continued "But you know... its ok. I like cheesy." She said while smiling gently at me and hugging her knees.

"*ahem* Well, look at the time. The night's getting pretty late." I said to her, trying to get away without embarrassing myself.

"I should be going to bed." I said to her and walked toward the edge of the roof.

"Hey... when you asked me on a date the first time we met, I was really surprised...and happy." I heard Shinobu whispered, and I smiled and replied back to her.

"Yeah, I was really happy when you accepted it too... Good night." I said and jumped off the roof.
