The child is born screaming. The midwife stares for a while between its legs, shakes her head, and flips a coin.
Had it landed tails, this would be a different story altogether.
It landed heads.
And thus, the third child of the Kyoraku Clan head was born.
A girl.
Too bad the name was already registered.
The retainers gossiped, but unanimously decided to called the child Kyo-chan.
And thus, Shunsui Kyoraku slept on, unaware and innocent.
She wouldn't be innocent for long.
