A Hero's Journey for the Shikon Jewel

At five, Higurashi Tamaki's ideal was to inherit his grandfather's shrine and become a priest who exorcised evil spirits and bestowed blessings. After turning fifteen, his life plan was still to inherit the shrine and become a priest who conned people just like his grandfather.

But that absolutely did not include:

Dropping out of a top high school to study jujutsu at a technical college;

Transmigrating to the Warring States era with his twin sister to gather the Shikon Jewel shards;

Collecting the Eight Dog Warriors in the Edo era to lay the vengeful spirit princess to rest;

Disguising himself as a demon in the Taisho era and infiltrating the Demon Slayer Corps to help kill the Demon King;

And, after finally making it back to the modern era, having to keep fighting Sukuna...

And could it be that, as the Shikon Jewel bound by a soul contract to Naraku, he isn't exactly a good person either?

[Reader's Notes]

1. A crossover of several series: Jujutsu Kaisen, Inuyasha, Hakkenden, Demon Slayer, and more... (Additional introductions to Hakkenden characters can be found in the chapter comments when they appear.)

2. OOC and loads of original settings. The protagonist isn't a good person. He's very strong and loves showing off, and his memories are sealed early on.

3. The worlds don't completely merge, but they influence one another. There are lots of original settings.

4. One-on-one pairing, happy ending, but with Naraku. (He's fighting Sukuna, please give him some room.)

5. If any of the above bothers you, feel free to leave. My abilities are limited, but I'll do my best. If you don't like it, there's no need to leave a special comment. Please don't give me writing advice, thank you for your cooperation.

Can a Cursed Spirit Manipulator and a Hand Knight Date Online?

Pairing: Geto Suguru x Akiyama Kai

Akiyama Kai is an exorcist prodigy who earned the titles of Upper First Hand Knight and Knight at seventeen. The Vatican headquarters of the True Cross Order raised him from childhood to be a human weapon.

On his first day at the True Cross Order's Japanese branch, after receiving a secret mission to assassinate the son of Satan and traveling there by key, he got lost.

Why was there a head shaped like a rotten orange behind the door that was supposed to connect to the Tokyo True Cross Academy principal's office, instead of Mephisto, that clown?

He couldn't get through to anyone in his contacts, so at last he called his online boyfriend: "Natsu (Summer), I'm in Japan. Can you come pick me up?"

For two years, Akiyama Kai had known a Japanese online friend called "Natsu" on a forum for trading vintage accessories. They often discussed all sorts of jewelry and styling, sent each other photos and gifts, and naturally ended up becoming a couple.

It was only on the day they met in person that they both remembered that someone with long hair might be a guy.

Jujutsu Sweetheart Satoru

Pairing: Gojo/Geto

After dying during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Suguru was reborn in sixth grade.

It was just after he had awakened his cursed technique. Remembering what Gojo Satoru had said before he died, he swore to train hard and become the strongest, so he could catch up to his best friend.

Then the next day, a blue gem egg, deeper than the ocean and clearer than the sky, appeared in his bed.

It looked like someone's eyes.

Jujutsu Sweetheart Satoru: The tiny me hatches from its shell.

The first time Suguru met Satoru in this life, he was ready to fight him. He didn't expect the other boy to look him up and down with brilliant blue eyes before saying:

Satoru: "Pervert. Even if you're secretly in love with me, you can't keep a doll like this around."

Suguru: "You look like you need a beating."

Some time later...

Satoru: "Stop playing with that little doll. You can do whatever you want to me~"
