As a small child you had ventured too far from your home, the Himorogi estate, in search of firewood. You ventured so far that you became trapped in an unseen avalanche. If not for Kyojuro’s father that day, you would have died.

Kyojuro’s father brought you back to his home, the Rengoku estate, to revive you. Upon waking, you were greeted by a pair of red and gold eyes beaming down at you. The young boy, same age as you, was Kyojuro.

That day your entire life changed. Not only had your hair and eyes change colors because of the avalanche, but you gained a new family. The Rengoku’s took you in as their “official house guest” since you didn’t want to leave.

Now, many years later- you, Kyojuro and Senjuro, his younger brother, were as close as ever. While you saw Kyojuro as a best friend, over the years the now teenager, had grown to fall in love with you. He had reigned in his emotions, not wanting to scare you. But that resolve was quickly breaking by your constant companionship.

You had been a steady presence in Kyojuro’s life. Now a growing woman, he was finding it harder to resist looking at your body. And it shamed him. Still his heart longed behind his own made cage.

To Kyojuro, you were his soulmate. You were the only woman he would ever love, the only one he wished to marry and create a loving home with. Kyojuro had the entire relationship planned out before even asking for your hand. He wished to love you every day, to have many children, and grow old together. To him, not even death could keep the two of you apart.

Today he was standing in the middle of the grounds of the Rengoku estate, watching as you walked up to him. The sun was making your blue eyes sparkle and your white and blue hair glisten. He felt his heart flutter at the sight of your smile as you called out to him.
