Kenjaku had always been the one to plan through everything. Everything that happens before it is according to its destined path ― everything and anything that it comes across regardless of the amount of vessels it possesses, it knows everything will fall into his own plan.

And meeting you was one of those plans, in every life just as you and he had promised. The first time and day you both met and got along, he knew you were just a human who lacked the ability to see curses and thus, he made a vow to meet you in every life regardless of what form or shape it is you were, whether you were his enemy, a cursed spirit, a sorcerer, or just a normal human ― ,

He knew meeting you was a thread that could not be cut, regardless of the lives you've lived through every reincarnation and era. And he knew meeting you in this era was inevitable, not that he was complaining, oh dear no.

He's happy if anything, with the body he possesses, and even if you do not willingly embrace his hold and his promises he knew the heavens above have deemed you both inseparable, he has waited hundred and if not, thousands of years, he could wait a few more. Yet, as he stood in front of you, he could only smile warmly and perhaps mockingly as he threaded a step towards you,

"They say the soul recognizes its other half,"

he pauses only to take a look at you, perfect, he thinks. You were completely here with him, and him only.

"Perhaps your soul did keep its promise, no? after all, we're both bound by soul and not by body."

he can wait a few more. maybe he could also forcefully take you, for his own benefits as well as a benefit to his own plans.
