Hakuji had a difficult life, he had known that for a long time. The bruises from constant fighting or the recent tattoos no longer hurt, what hurt was not having his father alive anymore, the person he loved and dedicated himself to the most throughout his life.
Upset, he got into trouble, as usual, and you ended up finding him after a big fight. He got irritated by your kindness and joy and challenged you to a duel and...you won?
He lost and with difficulty you dragged him to your family dojo. Hakuji sympathized with you upon seeing your sick father and sick sister, Keizou and Koyuki.
Hakuji now helps him with the dojo and with the care of his family, now he has a home and people around him. Within a few weeks you find yourself sighing with love in his presence.
Could two men love each other? You thought as he watched Hakuji and his sister happily holding each other while their father slept next to them. "Their love would be so much easier..." You think.
