Giyuu and Mitsuri never predicted their wedding's would be like this. Giyuu originally believed he would never find love, believing his duty to slaying would be all his life would dedicate to. Mitsuri joined the slayers to find the one she would love, but never thought it would be forced by the fear of loss. This was their life now however, and they would take on whatever consequences they would face together. One such consequence was underestimating just how long preparing for a wedding would be, even with the help of Sakonji and the Kanroji family. Giyuu in his responsibility to both demon slaying and his found family, was exhausted. Mitsuri continued to feel the symptoms of pregnancy, her stomach slowly protruding more as time passed.
With the majority of the help at the Love estate, Giyuu and Mitsuri resided there to help with communication for planning. "Giyuu, we may need to get Uzui-san for help." Mitsuri said as she sat upright on her bed. Giyuu sighed in almost a defeated tone, before nodding in agreement. "You're right, he's the only of the Hashira that is married at all. If we agree to let him plan, that means not just him, but his wives will be able to help as well. This may be our best opportunity to have our wedding in a timely manner." Giyuu laid his head on Mitsuri's thigh, looking up to her as he let out another sigh. "I'm sorry, we'll get this done as fast as we can." Mitsuri placed her hand on his cheek, rubbing it softly to calm him down. "Ssshhh, it's okay. We knew this wasn't going to be easy." She looked down to her stomach, noting she really will have to retire now.
"We also need to tell the master of this, I'm not going to fight when I have someone on the way. Before we really knew, I explained what symptoms I had and he gave me sick leave. Now we have the confirmation." Giyuu agreed as he sat up, holding Mitsuri from behind as he rested a hand on her growing stomach. "I'll call for a meeting between us, Uzui, and the master. We can request to meet at the master's estate and we can explain everything there." The two sat in silence, with Mitsuri leaning back into Giyuu's chest. "In all the excitement, we still haven't even come up with names." Giyuu stayed silent, as if attempting to think of a solution to only one of their problems. "We both come up with a boy name and a girl name, in case we ever have more than one."
"You say in case as if we would stop ourselves at one." Mitsuri whispered in his ear before kissing it and letting out a giggle. Giyuu felt his face turn a deep red before letting go of Mitsuri and getting up. "I'm cutting off your access from Shinobu, last thing I need is two people in my life to tease me." Mitsuri laughed as she grabbed Giyuu and pulled him back down. "We come up with names, then we request for the meeting." Giyuu nodded in defeat as now he was the one being held from behind. Looking up to the ceiling, he focused his thoughts on any names fitting their children.
"Mizuki for a girl. We confessed to each other under the full moon, it only seems sitting. Giichi for a boy. It's what Tsutako use to call me as a pet name." It was his turn to lean back against Mitsuri, resting his head on her shoulder behind him. "She would call me it any time I went out of my way to help someone, even if I couldn't solve the problem they had." Mitsuri held him close, a smile stretching over face. She remembered seeing Sabito at the training ground. He said they would always be with him, she wanted to add an extra step to that idea. "I love them, I have my choices narrowed down too. Tsutako for a girl, Sabito for a boy."
Giyuu quickly lifted his head and turned around, facing Mitsuri. "Are you sure? Mitsuri you don't need to do this for me, if you have any other names it's fine." She shook her head, never letting a smile leave her face. "Nope!" She ended the word with a popping noise, attempting to punctuate her answer. "Those are my choices, and I'm sticking to them." Giyuu felt a few tears run down his face as he focused on her. Wiping them away with his sleeves, he smiled at her as regained his composure. "You spoil me sometimes you know that?" She closed the distance between them and held a kiss for several seconds. "How much have you spoiled me? It's the least I can do." She gave him another kiss. "You send Kanzaburou to Uzui-san, I'll send Urara to the master. We still need their help."
Hours after the crows had been sent, everyone found themselves at the master's estate. Tengen looked around as he found it was only himself, the flamboyant couple, and the master. This couldn't be another emergency meeting with how few of them there were present. "Alright just what is going on you two? It wasn't the master that called me here, but Tomioka's crow saying it was still an important matter." Kagaya nodded in agreement, curious as to what it could be. "I actually do not the details as well. Giyuu, Mitsuri, just what is it you wish of us that does not require the others?" Mitsuri and Giyuu looked at each other before both had bowed to the others. Giyuu was the first to speak. "We are in need of assistance, only which you two can offer."
Kagaya tilted his head softly, wondering just what it could be. "Anything for my children, you need only be specific." Tengen smiled as it looked like his flashy expertise was being asked for. "How can this magnificent God of festivals help you two?" Mitsuri rose her head as she looked towards the master. "Master, Oyakata-sama, I need to retire from active demon slayer responsibilities. I'm not fit for duty anymore." The two took this as an immediate shock, focusing their eyes on her. Before Tengen could question what she was meaning, Giyuu stopped him with a raise of his hand. "Uzui, you always talk of having amazing hearing given your technique and shinobi training. See if you can pick up on anything."
Tengen wasn't so sure as to what Tomioka was on about, but did as he was requesting. Closing his eyes, he focused his senses and did his best. He could hear his own heartbeat, the rythmic beat of blood being pumped through his body. While every heart functioned the same, they always had a unique rythmic beat. He could hear the master's, sounding weak as his curse continued to plague him as time went on. He could hear Tomioka's, apparently because of the repeated use of his secret form, its caused his heartbeat to have a lower than average rate. Listening to Mitsuri's, in contrast was appearing to beat out of her very chest. There was another though. It seemed weak, as if the heart was underdeveloped. "There's five heartbeats in this room, but who's the fifth belong to?" Giyuu and Mitsuri pulled each other into a hug, a smile never leaving their faces. "They have their heart, they're really coming."
Kagaya smiled widely as he understood what this meant. "Mitsuri, this is amazing news. I pray to live long enough to witness your first child come to this world." Tengen looked to the two in awe, before getting up and wrapping an arm around both of them. "You flamboyant bastards! I can't belive you're having a kid, no wonder I could hear a heartbeat I couldn't recognize!" Giyuu and Mitsuri smiled as they learned the baby was coming along nicely, looking up to him. Giyuu spoke next, happy to see the man was excited for them. "We're also choosing to accept your offer." Tengen looked down to Tomioka as he tried to recall what offer he made them. "Wait a second... You want my help to plan your wedding..."The couple nodded as Giyuu continued. "We were wanting to keep this a secret and plan this ourselves, but we overstimated what us and our families could handle. We wish for your aid, hoping your wives will help as well. Our timeline was to have the wedding this month, with your help, we believe it can happen." Tengen let the couple go, returning to his seat as he bowed to them. "It would be my flamboyant honor, to help you both have the most amazing day of your lives." Mitsuri squealed in happiness before turning to the master. "Oyakata-sama, we have one favor we'd like to ask. We'd like you to officate the wedding. The only ones who'd be attending are the other hashira and those we see as family anyways, you can say no if you don't want to though there isn't any pressure." Kagaya shook his head, starting to feel sore from how much he was being made to smile. "It would be my honor, we will hold it here. I don't think I'd be able to provide any service if I were required to travel." With everything agreed upon, Tengen followed the couple to the Love estate and sent word to his wives to meet there. Love to him wasn't something that deserved to be unflashy.
Thanks to the help of the Sound Hashira and his wives, the preparations were able to be done by the end of the month. Not wanting to wait any longer, they agreed to get it done. Giyuu had returned to the Water estate, while Mitsuri stayed at the Love estate. They saw this as their personal opportunities to get ready for whatever outfits they would need. With their appreciation of Tengen's help, they couldn't believe how far he was going for them. He focused on what they would wear, the atmosphere for the ceremony, nearly every detail even down to the style of the invitations. While they were physically separated, they were still able to communicate through the crows. For what Tengen and his wives had done for them, the two agreed they deserved the roles of honorary aunts and uncle.
It was the last day of the month, still having enough time to what they wanted done. At dawn, a crow was sent to every estate, requesting for everyone's presence. Not wanting to cause an immediate panic for his children, Kagaya made sure to specify that the reasoning for the meeting was for a joyous celebration and a fond farewell. He had done his best to keep this moment a surprise for Giyuu and Mitsuri, but if he were to officate the wedding, he would need physical assistance. He hoped they would not be too upset he needed to tell someone, but then again they both told him and Tengen. He believed everything should be alright.
Slowly but surely, all capable hashira found themselves at the master's estate. The letters they recieved specified this was not meant to be treated as a regular meeting, and that they were allowed into the estate itself. Gyomei felt the presence of all but three hashira, and took charge of the group. "If everyone were to please follow me, I know where we must go for what we have been asked here for." The others followed suit, with some having a more knowing and anticipated look than others. Obanai looked around the estate, doubly so with Kaburamaru to help. He couldn't help but notice some people weren't with them.
"Rengoku, Kanroji, and Tomioka aren't here. The letter said we all were meant to arrive. I can understand Tomioka being late, but the others?" Shinobu was the first to speak up, feeling as lively as she has in a while. "Rengoku-san left last month, sent to investigate human disappearances on a seemingly haunted train. The master believed it might be one of the twelve moons." Everyone stopped in their tracks as they all focused on her. She waved her hand with ease as she continued forward. "It's Rengoku, we all know what he's capable of. Besides he already promised he'd return, there's someone very special that's wanting to meet him in the coming months anyways."
Tengen quickly caught up, bending over to whisper as they continued walking. "Wait you learned of this too?! I thought those two wanted it to be kept secret." Shinobu chuckled as she whispered back, almost finding this fun. "Giyuu told me of it months ago, it was the exact same time he asked me to be the godmother. I nearly choked on my food and nearly chased him out the butterfly estate when he asked me out of nowhere. Besides I'm head doctor, do you really think I wouldn't be told about a pregnancy to keep track of Mitsuri's health?" Tengen was surprised and couldn't focus on being quiet anymore. "They asked you to be a godmother?! Oh come on! My wives and I were only made aunts and uncle!" Sanemi groaned loudly as he charged in front of the two. "Just what the hell are we even here for?!" Gyomei stayed silent as he moved past everyone, opening a set of double doors. "It is as the master said, we are here for celebrations."
Everyone except for Tengen and Gyomei looked forward in awe. Tables were covered in food both Japanese and western, the walls and ceilings were covered in decorations, there were even paintings and tapestries put up that seemed important for blessings of fertility and prosperity. It was such a shock to the eyes for everyone, they didn't even notice the strangers that stood before them. Obanai was the first to acknowledge them. "Who are you people? None of you are anyone we recognize. Are you guests of the master? What business are you meant to have here?" Obanai walked to the side, standing away from everyone as he pointed to them questioningly. What he couldn't predict was the old man wearing a tengu mask coming out of thin air infront of him. "We are guests of the current master, as you all are. This is meant to be a day of celebration, not hostilities."
"Now now Sakonji, this is still a surprise after all. You cannot blame them for being curious or cautious." Kagaya walked forward greeting everyone, holding a hand up for everyone to not worry of bowing. "Thank you all for coming, today will be one worthy of remembrance. Please everyone, take a seat. Gyomei, I will be in need of your assistance soon." Gyomei nodded, as tears of joy began to flow from his eyes and followed the master. Tengen looked around, noting the couple hadn't shown up yet, and Mr. Kanroji and his flamboyant wives weren't with the group either. "This is certainly going to be the second flashiest wedding I've ever attended!" The three hashira that were not in the loop wanted to claim to be shocked, but soon realized who this was all for.So Tomioka and Kanroji huh? Certainly explains why they aren't here yet. At least she managed to be a good influence for him. Can't exactly call him a loner anymore." Sanemi walked over to inspect the food spread, noting that there was something for each of them as well, even finding a small plate of only ohagi he assumed was going to be his. "Certainly did something for this attitude." Obanai leaned against the wall, having eyes on the entire room. "She's... Good for him. He doesn't wear old face of his anymore. It's unsettling to see him lively, but it's better than before." It was almost hard to believe that the Tomioka that he knew of for this long was the same one that was going be married today. To think one person was enough of an influence to cause this, it was awe inspiring to him.
Shinobu walked up to Urokodaki-sama, keeping her eyes on the mask. It almost gave her a sense of new kinship to him and Giyuu, everyone seemed to have something to hide for one reason or another. "Ah so you're Shinobu Kocho, the insect hashira. Giyuu was right, you do smell of wisteria." She couldn't help but flinch that someone else had noticed, but continued to try and act normally. She was starting to dislike that she seemed to be surrounded by people with heightened senses. "Because my breathing technique revolving around thrusts rather than slashes, I've created carious poisons to help with demon slaying." Sakoni threw his head back in laughter, patting her shoulder softly. "He was right on something else, your intelligence is menacing."
Suki walked towards Tengen, smiling and giving a light hug before pulling away. "I wanted to thank you for your help Lord Tengen. Without you or your wives, I don't think we would've gotten things done as soon as we liked. I must ask about the decorations though, what was the motivation?" Tengen looked around as he understood the questioning. The room was a mix between Japanese traditional design, but also western European and American. It was odd to most people, but to Tengen, it gave a unique contrast to match how different the couple were. "It's flamboyantly standout, something even I haven't done! This was my first time helping with a wedding, I had to go big!"
With his amazing hearing, Tengen could hear the sound of multiple people approaching. "People are incoming, everyone find a spot to witness the magic!" Kagaya and Gyomei sat in the middle of the room, with Shinobu off to the side. Everyone else sat down in rowed seats on the floor, but looking back towards the doors in anticipation. The first to walk through the set of doors was Giyuu, with Tengen's wives right next to him to check over any last minute fixes with his outfit. Everyone looked towards him with curiosity. He was wearing an ultramarine blue business suit with a black vest underneath and black closed shoes to match. His hair was let loose, no longer a ponytail. It was almost as if he was a new person with how stark a change it was. He was standout as he slowly made his way to his own seat at the alter the master and Gyomei sat at.
"Master, Himejima, thank you both for helping us on this day." They nodded, happy to be a part of what was meant to be most people's happiest day. "Think nothing of it Tomioka, we are honored you and Kanroji had thought of us when planning this." "Himejima, if I may ask. Would you give a prayer for our child as well?" Himejima wore a shocked expression as the tears continued to flow. He lowered his head as his prayers became more focused. A small smile came to his face as he was joyed of a pure soul coming into this world. "I shall wait until they arrive with Mitsuri, I want them to hear it."
As if on cue, the doors opened once again, drawing everyone's attention. Everyone saw Mitsuri being walked by her father as he seemed to have just gotten done crying. Giyuu focused his eyes on only his bride to be, almost feeling them glaze over from witnessing her. She wore white and pink kimonos layered on top of one another, with the haori he gave her acting as the uchikake. She had altered it however, using silver thread to stitch a pattern of flowing waters across the red side. She wore a wataboshi hood, wearing it lower than normal, so her eyes were hidden even to Giyuu who had a direct sight of her. She seemed etheral. Kokoro guided her to her spot next to Giyuu, finally letting her go. "I entrust her to you Giyuu, I hope you will take care of her." "With every breath I have, father."
With both bride and groom here, Kagaya could begin his part. "Thank you everyone for arriving on this day. Today, we are here to celebrate the union of Giyuu Tomioka, and Mitsuri Kanroji. Mitsuri, may I announce the other topic as well?" "Yes Oyakata-sama, they deserve to know." He gave a small nod, looking forward once again. "We will also be celebrating the retirement of Mitsuri Kanroji as the Love Hashira. She is confirmed to be pregnant, and thus, cannot remain as an active slayer. However, we must not see this as a loss of a Hashira. This is a miracle in the making, a life being brought into the world."
Everyone stayed quiet at the news of Mitsuri's retirement. It was disappointing that they were losing a strong slayer, but the master was right. This was meant to be a moment of joy for them. They were experiencing happiness and joy that everyone craved, that everyone would have a chance to find in a world without demons. They wouldn't let their selfish wants stand in their way. "Gyomei, if you would, please purify the room and ask the spirits for blessings for the couple." Gyomei stood from his seat, towering over everyone in the room.Gyomei took in a slow breath before releasing it, and brought his hands together quickly, causing a loud echo across the room. Picking up several bowls and salt, he placed each bowl into the corner of the room and filled them each. As he returned to his spot, he closed his eyes as his hands tightened as they held one another. "Holy spirits that watch over us, please bless these souls as they share their lives with one another. Grant them the strength to fight off what evils that may try to disrupt the peace they seek. May their love be as strong as their steel, and may the soul they bring into this world be as pure as their love."
"Excellent Gyomei, may the spirits hear your words and bless us all on this day. Shinobu, please give them the cups and water. This may not be proper tradition, but we can't exactly give Mitsuri sake in her condition." Shinobu grabbed the three different sized cups and a jug of water, placing them in front of the couple. With the smallest cup filled first, Giyuu drank from it first before offering it to Mitsuri. Filling the second letter cup, Mitsuri would drink first before offering to Giyuu. With the final largest cup, they repeated the process of the first. "Now then you two, I belive it is time for the rings, and then the vows."
Shinobu pulled out a small box and handed it to Giyuu. He placed it down before turning his focus back towards Mitsuri, raising the wataboshi hood from over her eyes. They were red from what he assume was crying with her father earlier, but they were as warm and lively as the morning sun. She had been smiling the entire time, overjoyed by everything so far. He had to resist kissing her then and there, wanting to save it until the announcement. "I hope you like them, this idea came to me when I saw the boys get their new swords." He opened the box and revealed two rings, both made of nichirin metal.
Mitsuri looked down at them in a curious manner, wondering what it is Giyuu was planning. He placed the larger one in her hand, as he held the smaller. "Hold it tightly." She agreed and clenched her hand around it, focusing on it as she started to figure out what he was planning. After a minute, they both opened their hands, revealing a bright pink and a deep blue metal rings. Giyuu, taking the one from his hand, placed it onto her finger. She felt her eyes begin sting again as she tried her best to not cry in front of everyone. Grabbing the pink ring from her own hand, she placed it onto Giyuu's finger. "No matter how far apart we may be from each other, we'll always have a piece of the other with us."
"Now, will the lovely couple like to speak their vows? Giyuu, why don't you go first?" Giyuu agreed to the master's words, never taking his eyes off Mitsuri. "Before you, I only had my responsibility as a slayer to keep me going. All I ever did was wake up, preform my duties, and go back to sleep just to do the same thing the next day. Then I found you, and something about you just made it so easy to be around. To open up to, to feel cared about again. Even if the confession was an accident, it's still one of the best things that's happened to me. The only things that rival it is today, and the days we have to come with our family. No matter what happens, you will always have my heart."
Mitsuri couldn't hold her tears back anymore, resting her face on Giyuu's chest. He wrapped her arms around her, letting her cry as much as she needed. She cried for several minutes, before pulling away. "I'm sorry-" She sniffled as she wiped her face of her tears. "A part of me just still can't believe this is happening. That this, us, we're here making it happen." Giyuu placed a hand on her face, cupping her cheek. "We're here, and I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather be or whomever else I'd rather have than you. Take your time for what you need to say."
Mitsuri nodded before taking a few breathes to compose herself. She stared back up to him, trying to stay strong long enough to say what she needed to. "For years, I've dreamed of this day. When my first marriage was rejected, I felt myself shattered. I denied who I was to fit in with what others would want. It worked, but I just couldn't stand who I was then. I was playing a role, rather than being me. I joined the slayers, hoping to find someone who would accept me as I really am. Strength, hunger, energy, someone who would love me for who I am. When you found me, you immediately stood by me and supported me ever since. You learned of who I am and embraced it, even going as far as to defend me when others tried to shame me. You have strength in body, strength in character, and strength in heart Giyuu. No matter what happens, you'll always have my love."
Everyone watched as both bride and groom becoming more emotional as the ceremony progressed. They would even see Giyuu holding back his own tears to remain stoic. They were happy that this managed to get him to open up and be a real showing and caring person. No one could've expected this, but they weren't going to complain. Kagaya was as pleased as ever with the vows the two had for one another. He knew the one thing that was left to be done, and he did not want to dangle it in front of the happy couple.
"Splendid words, both of you. Now then, with the power that has been vested in me. I hereby decree Giyuu Tomioka and Mitsuri Kanroji, husband and wife. You may now kiss." Mitsuri did not need to be told twice as she tackled Giyuu, pulling him close and giving him a heated and passionate kiss. The room roared with applause from friend and family alike, happy for the newly weds. Mitsuri slowly pulled away from Giyuu, needing to catch her breath after holding the kiss. "Sorry sorry! I got too excited!" She apologized to Giyuu as she pulled the hood back over her eyes. Giyuu got up from the ground, laughing as gave her another kiss as she was blinded. "Mitsuri Tomioka really does have a nice ring to it though." She rested her face against his chest again, smiling as she nodded. "It really does."With the wedding officially completed, everyone got to properly celebrating. There was food and drink for everyone willing and wanting, seeing today as the opportunity to not hold back. Unexpectedly, Obanai made his way to Giyuu. With a tap on his shoulder, he saw as the newly made husband turned to face him. "Oh Iguro, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Obanai looked around, seeing as the bride was spending time with her family. He was glad that it seemed the person he wanted to speak about couldn't hear what he would say.
"I wanted to talk to you about Kanroji if you don't mind, it's nothing negative. Just a talk, after that, I'll leave you be." Giyuu looked to him with a questioning look, wondering just why it was her he wanted to converse about. Looking to an empty corner in the room, he gestured for Iguro to follow. "Here then. Tengen looks too distracted and there's too much noise for him to listen in. What is it you'd like to talk about Iguro?" Obanai took a solid look at Tomioka, almost unable to think this was the same man who showed next to no emotion years prior. He was like an entirely different person, all because of the change one woman brought.
"I will admit that because of... Past experiences, I have difficulties trusting women. Kocho I must trust because she's our doctor. Kanroji though, she is someone that gives me a feeling she is kind and trustworthy almost to a fault. Even with limited interactions, I can say she has never once given me reason to doubt her. You are lucky to have someone such as her. Take care of her, someone that pure does not come around often in life."
Giyuu was shocked to actually here words of encouragement from Iguro, but he was honestly correct. A woman like Mitsuri doesn't come around often, he was lucky to find first her that day. He wouldn't focus on how things would be different if he hadn't, he just wanted to focus on the life he had with her now. "I will, I'll make sure she never knows a day where I'm not grateful for her. Thank you for your words Iguro, we may not be on good terms, but your words are greatly appreciated." He focused on Iguro's eyes, almost looking as if they became unfocused. "Was there more you wanted to talk about?"
Obanai let out a sigh, tilting his head back. "Apparently all that time not being social made you good at reading people. I'm just thinking of if I'll ever find someone like that." Giyuu stayed silent, curious now what he was wanting to vent. "I believe I have an understanding of what you said earlier. I myself have gone through life unsure what to do, how to feel, how to... move on from the past. You found Mitsuri, and look as to what she's done for you. I am just thinking out loud, wondering if I can find someone that can help me."
Obanai was shocked to feel a hand on his shoulder, looking towards Tomioka. He didn't expect sympathy or support from him after all he did to speak negatively of him. "You will Obanai, there's someone out there for everyone. It just takes getting through life until you find them. When you do, know Mitsuri and I will help you however you need." Obanai could feel his eyes go wide and Kaburamaru even becoming confused. He felt touched honestly. He remembered the day Tomioka slashed his arms for the demon girl, saying he didn't want Shinazugawa to get hurt because of him. He wouldn't call Tomioka a friend after so long of hostilities but he couldn't say he hated him anymore.
"I don't remember allowing you to call me by my first name." Giyuu laughed as he let go of Iguro's shoulder. "The moment called for it, my apologies." They both left the corner, returning to the celebration that was going on. Everyone who desired to, acted as if it were their last day. Food was eaten, alcohol was drank, everyone remembered what it meant to live. They remembered this feeling, for it gave each of them a lesson that every life they defended deserved to know.
Hours later, the newly wed couple found themselves at Giyuu's estate like many times before. Giyuu wished to tear the suit apart just to be free of it, but Mitsuri had seemed to like it. He decided it could serve new purposes in the future and simply hid it away. The couple stripped themselves down, not due to a primal sexual desire, but to simply feel one another's bodies in an intimate loving manner. Giyuu held onto Mitsuri from behind, resting one hand on her stomach as he pulled a blanket over them in bed.
"Am I the only one glad to be out of those clothes?" Mitsuri shook her head as she back up to be closer against Giyuu. "You looked amazing in your suit, but you're right. I wasn't the biggest fan of all those layers I had to wear." Mitsuri placed a hand over the one Giyuu had on her stomach, intertwining her fingers with his. "Do you have any hopes of it's going to be a boy or a girl?" Giyuu sat up looking at her, slowly moving her onto her back. "Hm? Giyuu?" She watched as he lowered his head slowly to her stomach. With her clothes gone, the bump even in its early stages was apparent. Giyuu slowly kissed her stomach, causing her to give a slight hitch in her breath. He slowly kissed up her body until he finished to her lips, looking her in the eyes. "I already have more than I ever thought I could want. I'll be happy with boy or girl, multiple children or only one. I can't ask for anything else I would want." Mitsuri raised her hands up to hold his face, returning a kiss they held. "So you wouldn't be opposed for trying for two of each?" Giyuu laughed as he rested his head against hers. "We've followed the desires of our hearts for this long, let's see else will they take us."
