Chapter Text
Yokan was still grieving Raj's death, she kept reading her therapy book she got from Santa.
She flipped through the pages, trying to find something helpful until she stumbled on a strange page, the page was completely black unlike the rest of the pages, and it had no written word on it, Yokan put her finger on it to inspect it further but suddenly it started sucking her like a black hole!
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH” Yokan screamed as she was falling through, IS THIS HOW I DIE?!? FUCK!!! Yokan thought to herself.
Going through this strange wormhole a light showed at the end and she fell on her feet thanks to her cat reflexes…but slowly her arms shrunk as she lost her extra joints, and cat features were now gone, she freaked out.
“AAAAAAAHHHHH FUCKING HELL FUCK SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!!!, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING AAAAAAA”
After screaming and panicking for almost half an hour, Yokan looked around her to see an unfamiliar scene, it was a very modern and far more normal, skyscrapers filled this city as well as many shops and houses.
Yokan was confused, she couldn't see her crew anywhere near her and she lost all her cool features, even got shorter but was still pretty tall, 6'1 ft tall.
There were also a lot of people walking around, and people who were sailing some strange wheeled vehicles, they looked nothing like boats and moved so fast.
People around Yokan looked at her like she's a crazy woman, which she was.
Yokan was so confused, she opened the book again “This book brought me here, it'll take me back” as she opened the book on the same page, white writings started to form saying “To go Back, you must help Taiga” and it made a map with a red X on it.
“Help Taiga?? Is he in trouble? I have to find him!”
Yokan rushed to the coordinates on the map drawn on the book. She moved as fast as she could, which was slower than how fast she was when she was a cat, but she was still very athletic and in shape.
Panting and breathing heavily, Yokan arrived at a bar filled with men and a sign that said “Duel Sword Bar”.
“Why would Taiga be here?” Yokan asked as she entered.
“Hello and welcome to the Duel Sword Bar” Taiga said as he was wearing a white buttoned shirt with an orange vest, he was working as a bartender and giving alcohol to men, there were also male pole dancers, one of the dancers looked alot like Pluto.
Yokan was even more confused now, “TAIGA YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A MARINE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!??”
Taiga was also confused “How do you know my name? And why are you telling me this?”
“B-But we are friends!” Yokan shouted.
“I have never seen you till now, you're weird, did you come here to just scream at the workers? You won't get anything for free” Taiga responded.
Yokan knew he was telling the truth, she knew how bad of a liar Taiga is, if he wasn't telling the truth she would know.
But then Yokan got reminded of something, an adventure she had on different universes, she thought it was a dream, and maybe it's still a dream, but this didn't feel like a dream, it felt real.
So Yokan sat down on a stool, “Y'know this is a gay bar right? If you want the lesbian experience then come back tomorrow, but you can stay here if you'd like, we're inclusive after all.” Taiga explained.
“Why are you working in a gay bar of all things?” Yokan asked.
“Need the money, and can I get you a drink?”
“Milk” Yokan asked with no luck of embarrassment.
“On it” Taiga poured milk into a glass and gave it to Yokan, not really questioning why an adult woman would ask for milk in a bar.
“I'll ask again, why a gay bar of all things?” Yokan's curiosity fluttered out of her mouth.
Taiga sighed and answered “Well I needed money, I saw a bar with a cool name, thought it would be easy to be a bartender, didn't know it was specifically a gay bar, but it was fun working here so I didn't mind, not that I'm gay myself”
“What seems to be the issue then?” Yokan bluntly asked out loud.
“There is no issue, don't worry about other people's problems” Taiga was saying something very true.
“But the book said I should help you!” Yokan shouted, all the men started looking at her.
“First of all lower your voice, secondly do you hear yourself? What the hell do you mean by saying a book told you to help me? I don't need any help, I'm good enough as I am.”
“You have tough skin even in this weird world? timeline? universe? I don't know, but I like that about you”
“You're weird” Taiga told her “But I'm obligated to be nice to customers, so thanks for visiting this establishment”
“Thanks for the milk”
I'm so confused, why was I sent here? What am I supposed to help Taiga with? How do I go back? Yokan was lost in thoughts, so she opened the book again hoping she would get an answer, and she did.
“To go back to your world, you must help your friends and yourself in this one.” The book then gave the names of everyone she needed to help.
“Okay at least this makes things easier, can you give me a hint on what I should help Taiga with?” Yokan asked the book.
On the book writings started to appear “You have to make sure he knows who he really is”
“Who Taiga is? That's so vague…” Yokan said as she noticed Taiga acting a little weird while serving Pluto a drink.
“Hey pretty boy, wanna kill anger with me?” Pluto said with a very sensual voice.
“I-I..I don't know what you m-mean by that” Taiga nervously said.
“it means Can I take you on a date?” Pluto explained.
“Ah..Eh..Ah..wha…” Taiga started to stutter and blush “I…I am s-straight sorry”
“Oh cut the bullshit, I see you eyeing me when I'm on stage, your eyes tells me everything”
“B-But I only started working here like a month ago and we only interacted eight times, we don't know each other…and even if I'm still not gay” Taiga said nervously and at a very fast pace.
“I see what I must do here, it's time for me to start matchmaking!” Yokan announced loud and proud.
