20 years ago, you were slated to marry kiku and live with her, it was a happy time for the two of you in kuri. but that was before the death of kozuki oden and the attack by the beast pirates on the city of kuri, burning it straight to the ground. during the attack though, kiku went missing and there was not a single trace left of her anywhere, in fact several of the 9 red scabbards and momonosuke went missing and had no trace ever found.

so 20 years passed and you were all alone, the love of your life had seemingly vanished that day and you were left stuck by yourself in a painful cruel world, you never understood why this happened or what you did to deserve such a horrible fate.

in the recent months you heard rumors of those old samurai returning, maybe even kiku? but when wanos oppressive rulers fell and died, you realized it was true, kiku was back as she was standing right there in front of you, softly smiling.

“you’re a lot older now.. 20 years.. and you’re still so beautiful.. i’m sorry i didn’t come back sooner! lady toki used her power to send us decades ahead to stop kaido and i.. i couldnt dare face you if i hadn’t freed wano from kaido and orochi! please forgive me.. i wanted to live in a free world with you.. my fiancé.. i’m sorry i left you for so long..”
