yandere!blade, dan heng, & jing yuan x fem!reader

old friends meet again, but everything isn't as it seems. a decision is left on the horizon, but would you be able to make it when the time comes?

Blade felt a strange itch, an uncomfortable sensation that sent something odd crawling down his spine. It made him always look behind him, but instead of looking for the risen, he was actually looking for you. Though, he had to keep reminding himself that you were, in fact, not with him at the moment. You were safe, locked away, and sleeping peacefully.

Facing forward, Blade soon reached a clearing where he could easily see the outskirts of a small abandoned town. Pushing through the shrubbery, his shoes crunched against dead leaves and half broken twigs. Though, his minimal movement stopped dead in his tracks as he saw three vehicles in almost pristine condition parked just outside the town.

His eyes traveled to one of the doors of the vehicles where he spotted a lion’s head painted onto it. The sight made his brow furrow and his nose slightly crinkle. He didn’t want to chance a run-in with him, but … his mind drifted to you. You were weaker than before. Your limbs heavier and your breathing deepening. You were becoming sick. He didn’t know why he wouldn’t just leave you somewhere to deal with all of this on your own, but ever since he saved you he felt a small part of himself was liable for what happens to you.

“It isn’t like you to be lost in thought, Yingxing. Or is it Blade, now?”

His head turned, his eyes narrowed, and his hand itched to reach for his own gun.

“Jing Yuan.”

The man smiled as he flicked the safety on his pistol and holstered it, “sorry old friend. You were standing stock still that I thought you were dead.”

“And if I was?”

Blade already knew the answer, and Jing Yuan knew he didn’t have to answer.

“Nevermid that, it certainly has been awhile. The last I saw of you was when the world was still normal and we had just gotten back from a mission.”

Blade huffed as he turned his eyes back to the town, completely ignoring Jing Yuan, “did your people ransack the entire place?”

“Not yet, they are just scouting for now.”

“Good.”

Jing Yuan smiled as Blade set off towards the town, to which he decided to follow after. And as he followed he started to notice more peculiar things about his old friend. Mainly how he kept looking off behind him, not at Jing Yuan, but in the place that he had came from. Not to mention, that he seemed to pack a little extra when he would find something. It made Jing Yuan’s mind start to work as he slowly gathered the pieces together.

“You’re traveling with people…no, if it was multiple someone would be with you or you would have more packs. So, that would mean you are traveling with one person. Since they are not with you right now they are either injured or too weak to keep up with you.”

Despite his analysis, it was expected that Blade wouldn’t reveal anything.

“If they are weak, you should send them to the new capital. They’ll be safe there and not have to worry about keeping up with the lone blade of the xianzhou.

“She- they are fine with me.”

Jing Yuan grinned at his little slip up, “is that so? Have you asked her?”

Truth be told, Blade wasn’t even sure you knew about the new capital, it’s location, or the fact that people were thriving there.

“She … doesn’t need that life. Knowing your little system,” he spit out that word with venom laced in his voice, “she will be placed in a lower class and forced to work in the fields to grow food.”

Jing Yuan shrugged, “it’ll be better.”

Blade thought of you for a moment. He thought about the times you shared about your life (at least the little pieces that you were willing to share), how soft you were, how kind, and how much a pushover you could be. They would eat you alive in the new capital.

He could… pamper you, couldn’t he? Give you a better life?

His shoulders relaxed, “I’ll bring her if she gets a better life than what she is destined for.”

“Let me guess, a nice little job with little to no manual labor?”

Blade shook his head, “no job at all. Just comfortable living where she could do what she wants.”

Jing Yuan chuckled at that, “I’m afraid only house wives and house husbands can do that.”

And that made Blade pause for a moment as he stopped shoving supplies into his pack.

“What if I came to work for your new military?”

That got Jing Yuan’s attention, “you’ll do the one thing you have been avoiding since all of this went down?”

“Only for her…,” Blade said almost too quietly.

Jing Yuan thought for a moment as he regarded his old friend who now looked him in the eyes.

“Alright, I can agree to those terms, and if you go through with this than I expect you to rejoin me and become my right-hand man again.”

Blade turned to pack up the last bit of supplies before shouldering the pack again, “I’ll go ask her and if she agrees then I’ll meet you at the capital in one week. If she doesn’t…, well, then I guess you’ll be waiting another couple years until you run into me randomly again.”

“Of course, dear friend, it was nice seeing you.”

Blade didn’t offer the same goodbye as he left the building leaving Jing Yuan to his thoughts, until a creak sounded along the floor boards and a decayed hand reached out from the darkness.

Without even looking and with that same smile etched along his lips, he took a blade that was strapped to his side and flicked his wrist towards the risen, the blade sliced through the air with practiced ease as it imbedded itself into its head with a slight thud. To the untrained eye it almost looked like Jing Yuan had thrown a bolt of lightning at it, but that would be impossible, right?

“I wonder who she could be…, I can’t wait to meet her.”
