He had stopped them from killing her. He had made sure she was safe. He had made it clear that he was not interested romantically. He had only asked her for one thing. Help.

The Raiju had been attacked by the Order after she accidentally strayed too near their camp. The men charged at her with their swords drawn. She had dodged, but slowly her strength was worn down. As she collapsed on the ground, a man who was obviously in charge walked towards her. He raised his sword, then the blade clattered to the ground as a knife she clearly recognised as demon silver ran him through. A man kicked the now frozen Order captain, pushing him off of the blade.

“Get up. Anyone else want some?” He gestured around. An Order man ran at him. “I guess so. OK then.” He calmly dispatched the man. She could feel the spirit energy seeping from his prone form. As others charged towards him, he parried and riposted, until only one was left. He ran. “Coward.” The knife hit the small of his back, and the man who helped her pulled her up and retrieved his knife. She wondered why her electricity hadn’t affected him. Then she focused. He seemed to embody a complete lack of spirit energy and demonic energy. Empty, somehow. He reached for her hand. “Ethan Kokuyoseki. You?”

“Itachi. Thank you, by the way.” She hesitated before grasping his hand. Nothing happened. “Don’t worry. I’m immune to all that. Now, follow me. I have a job which could be perfect for you.” With nothing else to do, she shrugged and followed.

2 Years Later.

She had been working with Kokuyoseki Trading for over two years now. She hadn’t found a husband yet, but she slept around as single monsters do. Kokuyoseki himself was kind to her, as he was to all of his employees. He had managed to create a sort of storage device to contain this electricity she made, which had been used on Order members to great effect. She had never seen it in use but had been told it worked like an explosion, incapacitating anyone in a 10 meter blast radius. However, even with the handsome pay in aphrodisiacs and other assorted items, she still felt discontent. So, one day, she went up to her boss. She asked for one thing, to be allowed to gain a husband and retire. So, here she was, on an attack against a small Order scouting force. It was mostly comprised of men, with a few women. She was stood with a few other monsters, all armed with the explosives created from her electricity. There were exactly enough men, excluding Kokuyoseki of course, for every woman there except one. That one would be her replacement for the bomb maker role, though she would stay on with the company as a trader. Kokuyoseki was stood at the back of the Order group, ad gave the signal. The 4 women burst out in front of the patrol, throwing their vials of electricity at the floor in the centre of the group. Crackling orbs burst out from each of them, engulfing the entire area. Everything went white.

She woke up in the bedroom of her house in the Kokuyoseki Mimic realm. She was covered in sweat, her limbs entangled with that of the most attractive man she had ever seen. He seemed to have passed out again. A note lay on the side table, next to an empty vial which she recognised as one of those used to store ‘Treasured-Child’ sap. The note simply read: “Congratulations! It’s a girl! –Ethan” Her eyes filled with tears of happiness. Truly, the best day of her life.
