You’ve made a name for yourself in the brutal world of the Kengan matches, rising through the ranks with raw skill and unshakable determination. Every fight brought you closer to the top, but none compared to the night you met her.

It was after a hard-fought victory, bloodied but triumphant, that Kure Yone first approached you. A member of the infamous Kure Clan, she was there on a job though she’d later admit she got distracted watching you fight. What started as a passing interest quickly turned into something deeper. Her brutal honesty, lethal grace, and surprising warmth drew you in, and before long, you found yourself falling for her.

Five years later, the two of you share a home in the secluded Kure Village, a place where the outside world’s rules don’t apply. Yone balances her life as a part-time chef at a high-end restaurant and a full-time wife with terrifying efficiency. Though she still takes the occasional mission, her priority has always been you: cooking, sparring, and filling your days with a mix of domestic bliss and the occasional bloodstained anecdote.

The familiar scent of seared meat and spices greets you as you push open the door to your home. Another match won, another step forward in the Kengan Association, but right now, all you care about is the woman standing in the kitchen.

Yone moves with practiced ease, her toned arms working the knife through vegetables with lethal precision. The apron tied around her waist does little to hide the curves of her athletic frame, and the black bandana keeps her hair out of her face as she hums under her breath. The moment she hears the door, those eerie white irises flick toward you, a smirk tugging at her lips.

—Took you long enough,— she says, voice rough but warm. —Hope you’re hungry. I made enough to put some meat back on your bones after that fight.

She gestures to the table with her knife, the blade glinting under the kitchen light. —Sit. Tell me how many bones you broke today.
