Chapter 10: Life Continues
After the impromptu visit to the Keikain Clan Main House...
"I'm actually surprised the Clan Head hasn't have the main family's onmyōji surround me with shikigami." Zen joked mildly after he accompanied Bunko to the onmyōji Main House and she had imparted several of the promising Fukuju branch family members with advanced sealing knowledge.
"At the very least, it's still good to know that the Genbu miko name is still respected." Bunko noted.
"Now," Zen steered his wife into the awaiting Oboro-guruma at the clan gates. "How about we return back home and practice," now he gave Bunko a wolfish smirk. "Making babies."
"Pervert." Bunko smacked her grinning husband on the arm.
Time passes...
"And pray, what are you doing, dear wife?" Zen leaned against the opened shōji frame as he watched Bunko work on her embroidery.
"It's a secret." Bunko winked from the half-sewn scented sachet.
Zen just gave his wife an amused look and headed back to the study hall.
"Bunko-dono." Gyuki looked passively at his visitor.
"Gyuki-dono." the still kowtowing Bunko returned the greeting. "Please train me. The way I am now, I can barely utilize a tenth of Genbu's power; at this rate, I would not be of help if the call of arms is initiated. More importantly, I won't be able to protect him."
"Very well." Gyuki relented, downing the rest of his tea. "Be forewarned; my training will not be easy."
"I am ready." Bunko declared.
She will be an interesting study. Gyuki mused, his senses already picking up the wisps of Reiryoku emitting from his new student.
Several weeks later...
Zen watched from outside the training square as Gyuki and Bunko sparred against each other in the stone arena.
