Kaoru Hakaze/Kanata Shinkai

**Kaoru Hakaze/Kanata Shinkai** is a relationship between Kaoru Hakaze from UNDEAD and Kanata Shinkai from Ryuseitai.

## Relationship and notable canon moments

Kaoru and Kanata both met through the marine bio club even though Kaoru said he only joined because he could skip out on activities. He actually joined because the sea, and its creatures remind him of his mom. Both him and Kanata have a deep comfort and love towards the sea which they bond over. Kaoru and Kanata have a strong trust in one another, Kaoru has offered to help Kanata with his aquarium and home situation if it ever gets too bad, and Kanata has offered to listen to Kaoru whenever his home life gets too bad also. Kaoru takes Kanata up on that sometimes, despite stating he doesn't like talking to men. Though, Kaoru has stated it's ok as long as it's Kanata, even going so far as saying he'd only be good at taking care of someone if it's Kanata. Even though Kaoru actively avoids touching and being with men, but even so has said he feels happy when Kanata pets him and calls him a good boy. Kanata and Kaoru are both very lonely people and seem to find a lot of comfort in being lonely together.

.

In aquarium Kaoru comes off as not being worried about Kanata, but dispite that was actually pretty worried and tries to crack up jokes to make Anzu and Souma feel less stressed this ended up backfiring though, and they all got separated, due to this Kaoru ends up running into Kanata in a fish tank. Leading Kaoru to panic, when he gets out Kaoru scolds Kanata for making them worry, which Kanata apologizes for later. Kaoru tells Kanata that it's ok to talk about his problems with others and tells him that it's nothing to be embarrassed about and that he should rely on others even if he's strong.

.

In the other side of the tunnel, Kaoru worries about Kanata spending too much time in the water, so he convinces him to make an underwater tunnel with him. Kaoru said he would rather do this with a girl, but ended off by saying “well I guess it's alright, if it's with Kanata-kun.” When they finish making the tunnel, Kaoru says he had a pretty good time and asks if the tunnel looks ok to which Kanata replies yes since him and Kaoru made it.

.

In meteor impact Kaoru shows up briefly to complain about getting dumped to which Kanata tries to comfort him by petting him, however during this Kaoru gets angry and walks out.

.

Birthday stuff.

.

On Kanata's birthday, Kaoru and Kanata go for a walk on the beach.

On Kaoru's birthday, Kanata gave him a box full of things, such as a CD with the sounds of waves and a surf board cleaning kit.

In another one of Kaoru's birthdays, Kanata puts up a tuna cutting show with a tuna Souma caught, leading Kaoru to laugh so hard he started holding his stomach. Kanata says he was honoured that Kaoru was so interested in his tuna cutting show.

Qoutes list.

.

."ohhh? Kaoru! Ehehe, what a coincidence~♪" "um,no ,no! What are you doing, Kanata-kun?! Your're inside a fishtank you know?!"

."Now, now... Please calm down, Kaoru. It is not like you. you are usually much more calm, drifting through the waves... You are a surfer after all~♪"

."Guuuh...Okay, wait a sec. I'll take a deep breath, and go back to my usual self." "Okay. A confused Kaoru is also cute... But the usual Kaoru is more charming~♪"

."Uunini?! Kaoru Please do not pinch my cheeks~! Uuu... How cruel, i thought you were a kind boy. Please do not hurt me, i can feel pain too."

."Kaoru are you really sexy?"

."Hehe, long ago I had seen someone who looked a lot like you, Kaoru. You would walk around in the aquarium holding hands with a very pretty woman, yes?"

."Fufu. I am happy that I can "play in the sand" with you Kaoru~♪" "Ewww, not with a guy~ ...Well I guess it's alright, if it's with Kanata-kun."

."Oh, Kaoru, I think our "tunnels" have connected, see? I can see your face from "this side"~♪" "Oh you're right. Hey there, Kanata-kun~♪" "Hello~♪"

."Mhm. Thanks to you, I had a pretty good time, I think. Okay, how does it look? We've made a pretty good undersea tunnel, yeah?" "Yes♪ We could make a lovely "tunnel" that connects the "land" and "sea" because kaoru and I made it together...♪"

."Fufu, Kaoru is my "friend", I understand very well what you're thinking~♪" "Ahaha, Kanata-kun, you're really interesting, huh~? I'm relatively disliked by guys. But Kanata-kun, I think of you as a friend, y'know? Having a guy friend gives me the shivers, but strangely, Kanata-kun's okay, I guess?"

."I think you're like, too. I also think you're strong, and don't want to make people bare your burdens, so you forcibly distance yourself from others. That's why i'm here, by your side."

."You're always welcome, okay? I'd be good at taking care of someone if it's only you." "Hehe, for you of all people to be pushing yourself... But thank you." "you don't have to thank me. You're my friend, you know?"

."Fufu. Kaoru has also realised the "appeal" of "ducks". good~ boy, good~ boy......♪" "Eeeh? Was that something worth praising over? But you know, I don't dislike being called a "good boy" by you, Kanata-kun. Maybe I should be obedient and let you stroke my head."

."Hehe, good job, Kaoru. goood boy, goooood boy...~♪" "Ahaha, the only people who called me a good boy from beginning to end were... My mom and you, Kanata-kun. Thank you. To be honest, it made me pretty happy. Right then, bye bye. See you again, Kanata-kun."
