Trinity Domains

Toshinori, Ken, and Shoya stood before the ancient shrine the following morning, the mysteries of the mark still lingering in their minds. As they approached the entrance, they couldn't help but notice the aura of enigma surrounding the place.

Toshinori: *(raising an eyebrow)* "This place feels different today, like there's something we missed yesterday."

Ken: *(nodding in agreement)* "Yeah, it's as if the shrine is revealing more of its secrets."

Shoya: *(studying the shrine carefully)* "Well, whatever it is, we need to be prepared."

The trio stepped inside, and to their astonishment, they found three distinct domains within the shrine, each emanating a unique energy.

Toshinori: *(in awe)* "Three domains? This is unexpected."

Ken: *(scratching his head)* "So, we've got three of us and three domains. Maybe we should split up?"

Shoya: *(considering the idea)* "That might be a good plan. We can cover more ground and gather information faster. Let's meet up on the other side of the domains."

As they decided to split up, they exchanged meaningful glances, knowing that they were stepping into another chapter of their journey—one that would challenge them individually and test their bond as friends.

As the night settled in, Kouko and Banari found themselves in the quiet comfort of their room, their newborn son Akihiro nestled in his crib nearby. The room was bathed in the soft, gentle glow of moonlight, creating a serene ambiance for the family to cherish.

Kouko: *(whispering while cradling Akihiro)* "He's so peaceful when he's asleep, just like his father."

Banari: *(smiling)* "And he's got your red eyes, Kouko. A perfect blend of us."

Both couples enjoyed playing with their son, their hearts brimming with love and warmth. Akihiro's innocent coos and giggles filled the room, making the moments even more precious.

Once their son finally drifted into a peaceful slumber, Banari and Kouko found themselves snuggled together, sharing their pasts and reflecting on how far they had come together.

Banari: *(tracing patterns on Kouko's hand)* "You know, Kouko, during my middle school years, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows."

Kouko: *(gently resting her head on his shoulder)* "Tell me, Banari."

Banari recounted his difficult past, the torment he endured from his brother Krun and the relentless bullying from his peers, all because of his lack of a quirk. He went on to explain how he had accepted his worthlessness and walked away from it all, seeking refuge in the military's demon hunters' ranks.

Banari: *(reflecting)* "I thought I didn't deserve happiness back then. But then... I met you."

Kouko listened intently, her heart aching for the pain he had gone through.

Banari: *(looking into her eyes)* "You were the only one who treated me like a human being. Not even my own family did that."

Kouko: *(caressing his cheek)* "Banari, I always saw the remarkable person you were, even when you couldn't see it in yourself."

Banari's eyes shimmered with gratitude as he continued his story, sharing how they had developed feelings for each other during those trying times, though neither had confessed.

Banari: *(smiling warmly)* "You were the reason I found the strength to face my past, Kouko."

Kouko: *(blushing)* "And you were the one who taught me that love could overcome any obstacle."

Their love story took a brighter turn when Kouko, as the school's queen, had caught the attention of Banari's brother Krun. He had decided to torment Banari further by using Kouko's feelings as a weapon.

Banari: *(remorseful)* "He saw you had a crush on me, and that's when he started to bully me even more. He told me I was worthless and didn't deserve someone like you."

Kouko: *(holding his hand tightly)* "Banari, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that because of me."

Banari: *(gentle smile)* "No need to be sorry, Kouko. Our love story has many chapters, and it's all led us to where we are now."

They recounted their journey together, their battles, their friends, and their final confrontation with Shigaraki, who had once been Deku's old enemy. The trio—Deku, Dark Demon (Toshinori Midoriya), and White Demon (Banari Tada)—had faced Shigaraki in an epic battle, a culmination of their collective strength, and had emerged victorious.

Banari: *(with a sense of triumph)* "We fought with everything we had, and we won."

Kouko: *(grinning)* "It was the battle that reunited us, Banari."

Their reflections took them to the present, and they marveled at their newborn son, Akihiro, the living testament of their love's journey.

Banari: *(softly)* "I wish those three were here to see this, Kouko. I wanted Toshinori and Yu to train our son someday."

Kouko: *(teary-eyed)* "They'll come back, Banari. I know they will."

Banari: *(nodding with hope)* "Yes, they will."

And in that quiet moment, as their newborn son slept soundly, Kouko and Banari found solace in each other's arms, knowing that their love and their family were worth every struggle and sacrifice they had endured. 

As they continued Banari hesitated for a moment, then decided it was time to share a story he had kept hidden deep within him for so long. Kouko had always been there for him, and he felt it was time to reveal one of the most challenging and harrowing experiences of his life.

Banari: *(pausing briefly)* "Kouko, there's something I've never told anyone. It's a story from my days in the military, something I've kept locked away for a long time."

Kouko: *(concerned)* "Banari, what happened?"

Banari: *(taking a deep breath)* "During one of my missions, I encountered something unexpected. Something that I had never faced before."

Kouko's eyes widened with worry as she listened intently.

Banari: *(continued)* "There was a horde of demons, Kouko. An entire army, numbering around 1200. It was a situation I never could have prepared for."

Kouko: *(shocked)* "1200 demons? All alone?"

Banari: *(nodding solemnly)* "Yes. I was alone and faced with overwhelming odds. It was a mission I was given, and I had no choice but to confront them."

Kouko: *(concerned)* "Banari, how did you survive? How did you defeat them?"

Banari: *(reflecting)* "It wasn't easy, Kouko. I had to rely on everything I had learned as a demon hunter. My training, my instincts, and my determination."

Banari went on to describe the grueling battle, how he had used his ultra instinct and demonic martial arts to outmaneuver and outfight the demons. He spoke of the countless sleepless nights, the injuries he had sustained, and the relentless determination that had kept him going.

Kouko's worry grew with each word, but she also felt an overwhelming sense of pride for the man she loved.

Kouko: *(whispering)* "Banari, you're incredible. I can't believe you went through something like that."

Banari: *(softly)* "I never told you because I didn't want you to worry, Kouko. But now, I want you to know everything about me, even the darkest parts of my past."

Kouko: *(teary-eyed)* "Banari, you don't have to face anything alone anymore. We're together, and we'll face whatever comes our way together."

As they held each other, Kouko realized that their bond was unbreakable. Banari had shared a part of himself that he had kept hidden for so long, and it only strengthened the love they had for each other. In that moment, they knew that they could face any challenge as long as they faced it together.
