Chapter 10.1 *extra* (UNEDITED)
Kaneha Hijikata stared at her reflection in the hand mirror. She observed her flawless, glowing skin. She gave birth to her eldest son; Gorou Hijikata six months ago. Despite underwent an intense labour; she felt waves of energy surged into her body right after giving birth. Must have been because of the power she gained at final weeks of pregnancy. Her mother's words years ago echoed at the back of her head. Every word felt surreal. Being Fated Woman made her power-hunger and in complete control.
"One day, you'll feel the significance and beauty of being a Fated Woman. You'll strive to protect your family and remember all the hard works of our mother, Suzume-san. You won't disappoint me, my only child. Make me proud, Kaneha."
She smiled. Indeed her mother spoke solely truths. After Kaneha realised she was the Fated Woman, the katana possessed by Suzume-san – was hers finally. The legendary katana had killed many enemies, became invincible with each drop of blood. Whoever owns it, will be placed at the highest rank in the demon realm and have greatest influence among them. She has been waiting for this moment to come since the first day her grandmother told her stories of Fated Woman. She now can make almost anybody bow to her every whim, that including her husband; Isamu Hijikata.
"Kaneha, how are you today?" Isamu snaked his strong arms around her waist. He kissed at the exposed skin of her throat. Kaneha titled back her head to give more access.
"I'm feeling stupendous. Gorou is healthy, you love me back and I become the greatest influence." She studied his reflection with a smug smile.
"What influence are you talking about?" He asked; keep kissing her baby-like fair skin. He nudged the loose fabric down her arms. His hands roamed to the inside of her robe. She moaned lightly when his palm connected to her sensitive spot below her left ribcage.
"Uh…nothing." She closed her eyes to savour each sensation.
He gave butterfly kisses from the crook of her neck to along her spine. "How about we make any other baby?" He nipped lightly on her shoulder blade.
"Yes…" Kaneha brought his head down and crashed their lips together.
A/N = Hello readers! This is an extra chapter about Kaneha (Toshi's grandmother) during her early years of marriage. Note that she only gained power during her final weeks of pregnancy whilst Chizuru felt hers when she went to Kyoto (a month after got married). 'Our mother' in this context is not their birth mother. More like 'the founder' of Fated Woman.
Next chapter will continue from where we left before in Chapter 10. Enjoy! Please rate & review.
