Tokugawa Manor
3rd person POV
Inside one of the many rooms of the large traditional Japanese castle there was a man walking around in circles. His walking frantic but regal with a worried expression on his face. His regal black hair with a few blue and purple strands becoming a mess with worry. This was Tokugawa Ryuusuke the next shogun of Japan. One may ask why he was so worried? Why for his wife was giving birth to his first born in the next room.
Suddenly the door slammed open. Stepped in a imposing figure. He seemed to be in his late fifties with graying hairs along with a few wrinkles yet his heterochromatic eyes and the that had hair yet to become gray showing an obvious relationship with Ryuusuke, for this was Tokugawa Akira, Ryuusukes father and the current shogun of Japan.
Ryuusuke was surprised by his appearance. Thus he asked "Why are you here now? Didn't you have a important meeting?" Hearing his question Akira couldn't help but Laugh "HA HA HAH! There's nothing more important than the birth of my grandchild!" He practically shouted. Ryuusuke sighed at his father's antics, he said "Please DON'T shout when Makoto is giving birth in the room beside us" as if to confirm this, his wife's scream of pain could be heard right then. "Fine let's just wait"replied Akira. And wait they did.
Around half an hour later the door opened to reveal the midwife. She said " Ryuusuke-sama. Makoto-sama has given birth to twins" . Ryuusukes worry was obvious when he asked if his wife and children were fine. " They are fine if a bit exhausted Ryuusuke-sama" Relieved at her response he asked "Should I go see them now?" "Of course Ryuusuke-sama"replied the midwife. Hearing this he practically rushed into the room. There he saw his wife cradling the two newborns and he asked "Can I hold them,dear?" "Of course,Ryuu-kun". As always he was embarrassed by the childish yet old nickname, still he took hold of his twin boys. "And what should we name them? I may good at many thing, naming isn't one of them" . Hearing Ryuusukes question Makoto couldn't help but chuckle. " Satori and Sora" "huh" "Satori for the elder and Sora for the younger one" clarified Makoto. " Tokugawa Satori and Tokugawa Sora. Those are good names"
