Tales of the Orimura: Tale of the heir
Hey guys! As I promised, here it is the back story of Ichika's dad, Izanagi, well mainly; I will include his sisters and parents in this too. This is a story focused mainly on Izanagi before the birth of Ichika and his sisters. This covers the events in the Orimura clan, the most powerful family before and in the present storyline of TbT.
Sorry that this took so long.

"Power is something no one can hold forever, it always slips their grasp just like time chips off of their lives, counting down to their eventual death and downfall… however that is only because they have no capacity to retain it… hence they are not worthy… but there are some in this world who can… and whoever they are… they hold the true power that controls the world."
-?
No one knows what they are, where they came from and how they came to be.
A family that lurks in the shadows of ancient Japan, hiding in the misty forest of the mountains from what the present would call as Kyoto.
They are a unique family, the most unique in this world.
Unique because they possess an arsenal of abilities and traits that are not natural.
Their bodies can exert strength no human can muster, their intellect progresses at a very boggling rate and their evolution unfathomable, propelling them to new heights humans are not supposed to achieve.
Power became their creed and soon as they learned to harness it… battle became their life.
Japan became their hunting ground, even before the bloody era of the samurai dawned; they are already stalking the earlier souls that walked the untapped soil of the land. Killing humans like cattle.
As the rest of humanity around them grew, they already grew far stronger.
When man held its first weapon, they were already warriors, when men became warriors they were already sophisticated killers.
They are always so far ahead from the world because of their extreme evolution.
As the Age of Samurai started, they entered the fray and joined the battle from the shadows or charged right ahead into its center, wielding and thrashing about their power to their enemies, cutting them down like weeds against a farmer's sickle.
Similar to how moving their power is, is their guile. Manipulation of people and events which ultimately shaped the future not just of Japan but of the whole world because they did not just remain in Japan, some of them migrated temporarily to other lands and there they caused havoc before returning home with their trophies.
But as awe-inspiring and downright terrifying their exploits were, no names were ever recorded in the pages of history, namely because no one managed to see them and lived to tell the tale, only legends of them persisted.
But as time passed by, their stature faded to nothing from a legend that scared men and warriors alike. When the first and second great war the engulfed the world, they ceased their actives and proceeded to move about the strings behind the curtain.
But never did it mean that they waned, in fact the said wars bolstered their power, wealth and influence, benefiting from the victories and defeats of the forces that played into their game.
As time pass by, the more they flourished.
They have created arts and techniques that utilized their astounding abilities to its maximum, pioneered technology that cannot be replicated and amassed wealth that could already be enough to buy the world itself.
There are 24 generations in this family that passed, all of it were successful and attained varying heights of power and dominance over the world through the shadows.
However all of those generations paled against the new one, the 25th generation of the family.
In this period, the family held the world by its throat and surpassed all the successes of the past generations of their family.
They became the most powerful force the world never knew.
This became possible because of its two leaders, the patriarch and the matriarch, the two most powerful beings in the entire history of the family.
The patriarch, the tyrant of unrivaled power and the matriarch, the benign queen of peerless beauty.
They are the complete opposite of the other, yet they attracted even other so strongly, no one could think they weren't meant for each other. They made a perfect couple, a perfect combination just like the harmony between the Yin and Yang.
Their union gave birth to a promising generation.
Four daughters who are very prodigious, possessing talents humans could only dream about, potential that even their family would be envious, beauty that is so superlative jealousy became ludicrous.
However there is another offspring to be born, he was already anticipated to be the strangest and the most prominent being in the family aside from his parents and sisters.
He is believed to be the one to tame his powerful and unruly sisters and inherit the throne from his parents.
He will lead the oldest and the most powerful family in the world like his father and mother did…
He is none other than…
The heir…
Prologue of the Tale: The heir was born
December 31st, 11:50pm.
Inside the hidden castle of the Northern Mountains of Kyoto, alongside the cusp of the New Year's arrival, is a mother that is about to give birth to a son.
The interior of the gigantic maternity ward of the castle was filled by the groans and screams of a very beautiful mother, trying her hardest to deliver her son out of her womb and into the world as a new life.
Sweat is pouring out of her milky white skin, drenching the white kimono she wears; strands of her long lustrous black hair shook as she convulses her body to push her child out of her.
Her teary eyes let loose glistening tears that bore no sadness yet filled with anticipation.
Her superlatively beautiful face looked to be in agony but her expression doesn't speak entirely because behind the mask of pain is a smile of happiness, happiness that a mother feels when she is about to give birth to her child.
"Mistress, one more push."
"Just one more mistress and you'll see your child."
The female attendants around her and the mid-wife who is helping her in delivering were also excited for the birth of the child. But they are very much careful with their mistress who is having an extremely hard pregnancy, taking great care that she and the child don't come into any danger.
Namely because the husband, the leader of the family is standing right beside his wife, lending his strong hand as something his wife can hold on to.
He is none other than the leader of the family and its most powerful warrior. A tall figure with short black hair, dressed in a black kimono draped over by a black haori.
He had very handsome features and a strong build. But as handsome as he is, his overwhelming malice was making him an existence no one could stomach to be with for a long time.
Especially his eyes, an empty black void with a tiny white dot in the center, a stare from these eyes alone is sufficient to drive anyone mad.
And the servants are very close to that grim scenario should they make the slightest mistake, they will get killed by him in the most gruesome way possible.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The mother screamed as she gave one last push, her cry filled the entire room as she gave it her hardest to give birth.
"That's it, mistress."
The doctor exclaimed, the baby was born successfully at exactly 12:00mn.
A newborn was being held by the female doctor in her arms.
The attendants lost their nervousness when the delivery became successful and neither the baby nor their mistress came to any sort of complication, even after 48 hours of labor.
The mother rested her head on the pillow, seemingly tired out from her delivery but she could not dare to lose consciousness just yet. She stubbornly looked in front of her and saw a glimpse of her child.
"… He's… here… I'm so happy…" Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks from her half-open eye too weak to open fully.
"Tatsuya… our son… he's finally born…"
She rested her head back on the pillow and turned to her husband who is standing beside her. She tightened her grip on his hand and gave him a warm, melting smile.
"…"
Her husband however, did not react as expected. Most fathers would be in tears in this situation. But he on the other hand, remained expressionless as if this meant very little to him.
He stroked the cheeks of his exhausted wife.
"Haaaa… Tatsuya…." She melted on his touch, a face of pure bliss passed before she lost consciousness. But in her sleep still a smile persisted.
"Rest for now Miyuki."
The husband, the tyrant leader of the family, gave her wife one last touch before he rested her hand that's gripping his hand on her chest, allowing her to rest herself after a hard delivery.
Then his eyes turned to the attendants excitedly looking at the newborn.
"Tatsuya-sama." The female doctor walked towards him and bowed before handing him his son.
The father's merciless eyes looked coldly at his son, viewing him as something akin to an object, not a person, not a son. It took him a while to stretch out his hand and grabbed his son like an inanimate object.
He totally ignored the concerned reactions of the attendants because of how he held the baby, only his right hand held the soft body of his son.
"…." He continued staring at him son with an empty stare.
However the cold look in his eyes faltered when he looked closely on his son and noticed something very intriguing.
"Strange…"
A mumble escaped the lips of the father.
When the eyes of his son opened, he made an evil smirk. It was exactly as he predicted.
The eyes of youngest child, was most unique.
The left is all-black while the right is all-white; showing that for a very young age, the inherent power of the family is strong in him.
There are two powers or what it came to be known today, [Reiki] running in the family, the benign one, the [Junsuina Reiki] and the evil one, the [Jaaku Reiki].
Those who wield either of these two powers can most certainly become one of the most powerful in the family, attaining physical prowess and develop potential that will successively enable them to surpass their own limits.
However the father, the tyrant leader of the family, Tatsuya Orimura and his wife, the queen Miyuki Orimura, they are a case that is different from the rest of the family and its whole history.
Namely because their mastery over two [Reikis] are so abnormal their powers and instances for evolution are completely unparalleled and completely unpredictable.
Their four daughters inherited these to its fullest, making them promising leaders in the very future.
However… their youngest, the baby in his hands, possessed something that is considered impossible in the family.
He possessed spectacular affinity to the two [Reikis], because both manifested in his eyes. The black is the malicious power of the [Jaaku Reiki], closely similar to his father's power, while the brilliant white is the benign [Junsuina Reiki] and it is almost identical to his mother's.
Mastery of the two [Reiki] was impossible because both cannot be merged due to their nature; any attempts to merge both results to instantaneous death.
But against all odds, his son is very much alive and possesses both of the [Reikis] inside him chucked together into one.
"He looks just like you… Tatsuya…"
He heard his love's voice, he turned around and saw her awake while looking at him with an expression of pure happiness and contentment.
"Naturally, he is my offspring after all… but not just me… he took after you too…"
He walked towards his wife gave her their son, who was still quite silent unlike most infants that cry out in their first moments in the world.
The mother, Miyuki Orimura, excitedly stretched out her arms and received her son from the uncaring grasp of his husband.
"He's… he is so…" Miyuki could not even finish her sentence and began sobbing in joy while she looked at her son.
"I can't describe how happy I am…" Miyuki gentle embraced his son, bringing closer to her warm bosom.
Tears of joy trickled down rosy white cheeks, she totally forgot her surroundings, to her it is just her and her son.
"Leave us." Tatsuya ordered the attendants, wanting privacy with his wife and their son.
The servants bowed respectfully and left the room, leaving only Tatsuya, Miyuki and their new child inside the room.
"My love… what shall we name him?" Miyuki who seem to be recovering quickly from the fatigue, sat up while holding her son gentle to her chest.
She was so attached to her new child she can't divert her eyes away from him.
Tatsuya walked towards her and sat on the bedside and slithered his arms around his wife's shoulders and slowly pulled her into an intimate position.
"You will to decide that for your own, you, his mother should have that right." Tatsuya was rather dismissive at the question. But his wife turned to him and nuzzled her face on his neck.
"Please, this time I want you to give him a name. I gave the names of our four daughters already, this time I want it to be you." Miyuki begged her husband with seductive voice.
"Really? You know how odd my naming sense is right?"
"It doesn't matter, I know that this time you'll choose something fitting… just look at him… I'm sure you'll be able to think of something." Miyuki rested herself on the strong chest of her husband with a peaceful smile.
Feeling that resisting her wife is fruitless so he opted to do as she said, that is to name his son.
"… A name that would fit him…"
Tatsuya looked at the eyes of his son and there something struck him, a name that would really do justice to his son.
"Izanagi…"
"Izanagi?"
Miyuki looked up to her husband with a slightly confused face; she did not expect in the slightest that a name like that would be thought of by her husband.
"Why my love?"
"Simple… look at him… he is the epitome of balance and benignity… both [Reikis] course together inside him in peace… that name that represents similar aspects should fit him quite well… and also as an opposite of our eldest daughter who is the prime example of chaos and maliciousness."
Tatsuya answered Miyuki with certainty and Miyuki did not go against it and merely nodded and returned to leaning on her husband's chest.
"So hence forth, he is Izanagi, the heir of the Orimura family." Tatsuya declared with such power no one would oppose him.
"… Ufufufufufu…"
Hearing that, Miyuki smiled and lightly stroked the soft flesh of her son.
She lightly pressed two of her finger on her son's eyes, taking great care so as to not puncture them and slowly closed them.
"What power he possesses… he certainly would be powerful enough to tame his sisters…" Miyuki loving whispered as she released her son's eyes.
As the young infant eyes of Izanagi opened, his eyes that were black and white changed into azure eyes identical to his mother's own eyes.
Suddenly Izanagi let out a cry, he was finally conscious of his surroundings and like all infants like him, he let out a cry.
Tatsuya and Miyuki looked at their son who was finally awake, both knew that whatever he will be, whatever he will do in the future, all of them will have impact so great, the world will be warped by it.
Outside of the maternity room, many who are eager there awaiting the birth heard the cry of the newborn.
It echoed in their ears like thunder.
To them, the child who is bawling inside the maternity room is not any mere child in their family; they had the same view as its parents.
They knew that the is none other than the heir of the Orimura.
Many of the strongest warriors of the family gathered outside and 15 of the promising youths also came here to see it.
A flood of untamed killing intent filled the surrounding as many of the talented warriors of the family gathered in one place. It was like they were all drawn here like flies to the light.
Also arrived the daughters of the patriarch and the matriarch.
They stand above the upper echelons among the youth of the family namely because of their parents' gene and their own talents.
The eldest had long black hair with bangs obscuring her eyes a little; she wore a night black yukata contrasting her pale white skin. Her red eyes glowed ominously like jewels in the middle of an inferno highlighting her superlative beauty that is only rivaled by the peerless malice she is exuding, enough to scare to life out of the vilest beings in the world.
The second daughter had lustrous green hair that was considered as messy, she wears a similar black yukata but with stitching of white flowers. She a drowsy look on her face and her deep green eyes were barely open, however it did not at all made her look feeble in the slightest, rather it made her look like a demon that if awakened from her sleep, would rampage around, killing whatever came in her reach.
The third one had bowl cut crimson hair extending to her shoulders, her emerald eyes was narrowing in the most menacing way. Her pale skin was contrasting with her dark purple yukata. She also was a beauty but that beauty of hers was being undermined by her devilish maleficence and untrustworthy grin.
And the youngest of the sisters, a beautiful girl with shining golden hair matched by equally golden yukata. She has dark blue orbs that don't release any form of malice like her sisters, while also not making her look weak in comparison.
These four are the daughters of the patriarch and the matriarch, entities inside the family that had the potential to achieve total dominance over the family.
They came here to see their youngest sibling just like everyone member of their family crowded outside the maternity room.
But unlike the rest, the four could not just hear the haunting cries of their brother but they can feel his power.
"For an infant he sure has a strong [Reiki]… what kind of monster is he?" Izanami, the eldest grinned with unkind intentions in mind.
"Monster? That is quite an erroneous way of putting it… what kind of monster that has an aura this pure and benign?" Minazuki the third eldest, flicked her fluttering crimson hair to the side.
"Maybe a sleepy monster?" Shizuka the second eldest, said with a yawn.
"No nee-san… but if anything he could be something just like mom… this is no doubt [Junsuina Reiki] in the air." Shiori the youngest, smiled with great anticipation to meet her brother.
"Just like mother… I wouldn't count on that too much… I'm no fool to not detect this hint of a very pernicious [Jaaku Reiki] mixed in it… the resemblance is close to that of our father…"
Izanami sneered as she looked around her, looking at the faces of every family member.
All of them also detected the evil hidden within the benign aura of the child and they are wary of it, very wary of it.
The son of Orimura Tatsuya and Orimura Miyuki, the one who inherited the power of both his parents unlike his sisters who only had their father's power and little of their mother's.
No one had a doubt that this child is going to cause unprecedented changes in the family.
But while everyone was so focused on the perception of the newborn, they did not notice the patriarch had already taken his wife and their son out of the maternity ward and into a secret place, a place that only he knows where Miyuki would take care of their son until he comes to the age of 4, the age where he will be brought back to the family and to be introduced as its newest member.
A month later…
Ever since the birth of the youngest offspring of the leaders, the family has not seen glimpses of the newborn. They have been very curious about it but were too afraid to bring it up to the patriarch.
Even the most powerful fighters in the clan did not dare question Tatsuya on the whereabouts of his son or his wife who were both never seen since then.
The demands only turned into whispers when Tatsuya was around and this continued until the eve of the convening of the family's most powerful warriors that comprises its fighting force or the Mokushiroku loomed in.
Inside the war council room of the castle situated inside the 34th floor of the castle.
A long table where 5 of the family elders, 25 of the families strongest warriors, 15 of the youngest promising youth of the family and the four daughters of the patriarch sat.
Tatsuya sat on the end of the table as the presiders of the meeting.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
The meeting as gravely quiet in the presence of the patriarch, if he did not speak, no one dared to. They were too afraid to contemplate what Tatsuya would do should he find it displeasing.
But while everyone was tense, his three daughters were doing about whatever they wanted.
Izanami is leaning on her seat with a lazy expression, Shizuka is plain asleep, Minazuki is busy reading a book.
Only the youngest, Shiori, is concentrating in the meeting among her sisters.
The nerve-wracking silence, continued for several minutes and was only broken when Tatsuya spoke for the first time in the whole meeting.
"It's really annoying…"
Three words, simple three words gave seasoned warriors who have killed so many souls, a scare they don't normally feel.
Izanami, Shizuka, Shiori and Minazuki turned to their father with wary gazes; they fear their father's ire and look for signs on his impending tantrum.
"What annoys you great patriarch?"
One of the warriors asked with utmost respect.
He was a man in his late 20's, long green hair and wears a black overcoat that exposes his muscular body and black leather pants and black boots. He is considered to be good looking but also a bit frightening because of the aura he is emanating; especially because of his indigo colored eyes that resembles that of a dragon.
Still he bows in respect to Tatsuya; in fact he too was afraid of what the patriarch might do, just like everyone else is.
"What is it you ask? Ask yourselves what it is because you all know the answer."
The eyes of the patriarch grew sharper than before.
Gathering enough courage, one of the elders with shaggy white hair, wearing white and black robe spoke to Tatsuya as he raised his cane.
"Well you can hardly blame us… we also wanted to see your son… the one many of us consider as the new heir of the family."
Following the elder's words is the other warriors raising their own points but still maintaining the respect in their tone as a precaution.
"Certainly we should have some right to see him."
"Yes, if possible we would like a glimpse of the heir."
Tatsuya responded to their words with a snap of his finger that produced a sound akin to a bomb detonating. Not just loud sound but also forced was created from the simple gesture.
A strong gust swept through everyone, silencing the chatter.
"You will see him when I see fit, anyone who doesn't agree will meet a gruesome end."
Tatsuya's threat silenced everyone. No one dared to speak anymore.
Meanwhile inside the covert place or rather a mansion where Tatsuya placed his wife and son.
Miyuki is sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, busily breast-feeding Izanagi.
Happiness was overflowing from Miyuki's very being.
Seeing her son suckling on her bosom, his feebleness that makes him depend on her for everything, it made Miyuki's heart flutter in joy.
"That's it Izanagi, take your time in growing up… Oh... I really want to pamper you…" She cooed at her son again, unable to resist on how adorable Izanagi is.
"I wonder how powerful you will be when you grow up Izanagi… your mother is really excited… oh also I should have your personal sword made, then your own attendants and then… oh there is so much to do… and there is even your own clothes..."
Miyuki giggled as she thought of a lot of things that would happen to her son soon.
"Hmmm?"
She noticed that her son was already full and stopped suckling.
"Full already? Ohhh!" Miyuki again hugs him gently.
She stood up and fixed her yukata, covering her body that she revealed when she was feeding Izanagi. She walked towards the large bed and laid there with Izanagi.
"Oh? What is it? Do you want something to play with?" As they lie on the bed, Miyuki noticed her son was moving his hands about in the air, trying to reach something.
"Hold on, mommy will give you something."
Miyuki opened her right hand, there in her palm a white ball made of energy was created, it was roughly in the size of a baseball.
"Here play with this…" Izanagi slowly grabbed the ball of light that her mother made and began nibbling on it like it was food.
"Silly that's not food." Miyuki could contain the laughter in her face when she saw how innocent her son is. She was blushing so red while cooing at Izanagi who is still trying to chew the ball of light.
"I wish Tatsuya was here…" Miyuki made a slight frown to express her displeasure because Tatsuya chose to go back to the family territory instead of remaining here with her and Izanagi.
"Oh and I wish your big sisters could see you too… I think they will be thrilled seeing how coy and clueless they are with their own feelings."
In the meeting, Izanami, Shizuka, Shiori and Minazuki sneezed at the same time.
"Pa…"
"Huh!?" Miyuki suddenly turned to Izanagi when she heard him say something not gibberish that a normal infant says but close to a real word.
"Repeat that dear…" Miyuki became so excited she leered over her son with a bright smile filled with anticipation.
"Pa… pa…hugh… pa… pa… hughmm… fuffggd… ma… fugggh… ma… ma…"
In between his incoherent sounds Miyuki detected something that was clear to be the words papa and mama.
"Oh my! This is… I must tell this to Tatsuya!"
Miyuki suddenly took out the communicator in her breast pocket and established a call towards her husband.
In the meeting.
Suddenly in front of Tatsuya a holographic screen showing Miyuki appeared while he was still talking, everyone was surprised at the sudden called from the matriarch.
"Tatsuya, Izanagi said his first words, mama and papa… you should have heard it he's so cute! And also I made him a toy out of my [Reiki] and he began to chew on it, thinking of it as food, he is so adorable!"
No could make any words at the squealing and giggles of the matriarch, Tatsuya on the other hand were listening to his wife's rambling with a small smile on his face.
If it was his own genuine feelings or something he made out of consideration for his wife, can't be determined, but it was certain that the patriarch of the family smiled.
A year later…
"That's it Izanagi, you can do it!"
At 1 year old, Izanagi could already walk well though still stumbling here and there while walking.
Miyuki was really happy as she guided her son through the long hallway of the mansion they are temporarily living in.
"There Izanagi you did it! You walk 15 meters straight without falling down. Come here!"
Miyuki grabbed Izanagi and lifted him up. She was so proud of her son that she could just scream it to the whole world.
As Miyuki laughed, Izanagi also laughed.
"Oh? You're happy too?"
She held her laughing close to her chest.
"You seem really happy Miyuki." Tatsuya voice caused Miyuki to turn around.
"Tatsuya, my love." Miyuki ran to Tatsuya who suddenly appeared beside her but then she walked away for a short distance from his husband and then placed Izanagi down on the floor.
"Go walk towards papa!"
Miyuki urged the young Izanagi to go to his father, to which Izanagi did. With his little legs he walked towards his father that is standing 6 feet away from him.
When Izanagi reached him, he clung to the kimono of his father and looked up with his azure to his father's face.
"Hmmm…" Tatsuya looked on his son and bent over.
"You seem to developing faster… if so… they how about this…" Tatsuya held out his hand and condensed his [Jaaku Reiki] into a ball of dark light.
"T-Tatsuya!"
Miyuki was surprised at what her husband did.
He gave Izanagi a ball of condensed [Jaaku Reiki] which is a very deadly thing for anyone to hold, because it may cause intense burning on the skin and can explode with the force akin to the force released by a few blocks of C4.
But against the expected outcome, Izanagi merely held it and began to toy with it without any inkling of how dangerous it is.
He even gnawed on it, thinking of it as food, similar to what she did to the condensed ball of [Reiki] his mother gave him.
One difference about the ball his mother gave him from the one from his father, Miyuki's harbor no danger because it was made of passive [Junsuina Reiki], but Tatsuya's were composed of active and the most powerful [Jaaku Reiki]. Just holding it is grave danger already.
However in the small hands of Izanagi the volatile sphere of destruction was nothing but a ball to be played with.
"Careful dear." Miyuki immediately went over and gentle took the ball off of Izanagi's hands and harmlessly dispersed it with her own aura.
"Why would you do that? You know that it could hurt him." Miyuki confronted her husband regarding his action earlier.
Tatsuya however did not even flinch and merely caressed the cheek of his wife, causing her to melt in his touch.
"No need to worry… I knew he wouldn't be hurt… after all he touched it and was not hurt at all…" Tatsuya stated with confidence however Miyuki still did not calm down even then.
She grabbed her hand of her husband with both her hands and she looked at him straight with small amounts of concern in her azure eyes.
"Still he is our son… you shouldn't expose him to this…" Miyuki did not look at her husband when she said that and opted to look away. But her face was turned back by Tatsuya and stared at her straight in the eyes.
"It is pointless to try and prevent him from discovering his own power… look…" Tatsuya looked down on Izanagi on the floor, Miyuki followed and she was surprised to see what her son was doing.
"!"
She saw her son kneeling on the floor with two glowing balls of light on his hands; one was white while the other was black.
"See… he's this young and already knows how to manifest his [Reiki]."
"I…"
Grabbing the hair on the back of Miyuki's head, Tatsuya yanked her head to face him directly and pulled her body up close, causing Miyuki to let out a helpless whimper.
"Don't hope that you'll be able to prevent him from becoming what he is meant to be… Miyuki…"
Miyuki's eyes began to water and threatening to turn into crying. But before it could Tatsuya forcefully claims her lips, causing Miyuki to weaken in his arms.
Unbeknownst to the two Izanagi was looking at them while they wildly kissed each other.
"Uuuu…"
Izanagi dispersed the balls of light in his arms and he joins the embrace by clinging on both his father and mother's kimono.
Both Tatsuya and Miyuki stopped kissing and looked down on their son, gripping on their kimonos.
Tatsuya released Miyuki and lifted up Izanagi in his arms.
"Look at him Miyuki… if you are afraid he will fall to darkness for having [Jaaku Reiki], rest assured… be he has your [Junsuina Reiki], he is close to incorruptible that much I can tell you."
Miyuki sighed; she then wiped the worried look on her face and smiled at her husband.
"Yes… my love…"
Miyuki nodded but then shifted her eyes to her son.
His eyes suddenly flickered, the left turned black and the right turned white for a brief instance. She saw it but elected not to react.
She knew from the very beginning that no matter how powerful she is, she has no right to try and decide things for Izanagi.
