Special Chapter 1: The child of light.

Earth [Gaia] 2007

"Long before it is said," a man said to his young daughter, "long before there was a queen who took powers from her faith, she ruled with an iron fist." He continued but was cut off by the girl, "Was the queen bad—Daddy?".

"No," the man said, chuckling, The queen was kind, but she really had it, making her who she became."

"Was her life sad?" the daughter said, as the father closed the storybook for a while. Yes, "sweetie, it was," he said, opening the book again. "One day, a voice came into her dreams as she slept on her throne, "the voice foretold, that she will get a sweet little baby that will fill her life with happiness." He continued, "And that he will be her child of light.".

"That her son will save her.".

But before he can continue his story, the voice of his wife cuts him off, "Hashirama, it's time for Miyoko's sleep."

Hashirama smiled warmly in an approving way as he nodded, "It is, Himawari." looking down at Miyoko, he said, "suspense is a great appetiser, dear, let's continue the story tommorw".

Miyo pouted for a while as she settled in her blankets; she innocently asked, "Daddy, did the hero save his mother?" Hashirama stopped for a while; he didn't want to spoil the ending, so he just rubbed her head & said, "You will find out tomorrow, but be sure that the hero kept moving forward.".

Saying that, he left the room. To his own wife, he held her hand as they moved to their room. He entered the bathroom, and as he washed his face with water, wetting his brush, he began to rub his teeth with it; he said mentally, "Time for a daily recap. Hashirama Mugyiwara, age 35, physical age 16. I was born on 19-3-73; I live in Hokkaido, in a mansion near the coastline. I am the chairman of Mugyiwara Co. I haven't awakened my specialty yet, but that's not shameless at all, though I had a wife, Amelia Lawswurt, a German scientist, whom I fell in love with during our shared college at Berlin University, who died giving birth to my third daughter with her; I have no son, just three beautiful daughters, for whom I can give my life," he said, spitting the toothpaste liquid out of his mouth into the sink, as he turned on the shower. He continued mentally "My daughters are all spitting images of their mother in a way. My oldest daughter, Satsuya Mugyiwara, inherited her kindness & compassion side; my middle daughter, Nishoku Mugyiwara, inherited her intelligence; & my youngest daughter, Miyoko Mugyiwara, inherited her fieriness. Despite the latter being the reason for their mother's demise, the sisters love each other very much, while I love them more than ever. Months after Amelia's death, I found myself trying to crawl out of despair for them. Being the sole heir of one of the 7 great houses & the chairman of the world's biggest company, I was presented with many suitors; one of them was Himawari Shimura. I learned to love her for a while; we haven't gotten intimate yet; the furthest we went was an occasional handjob in a while, a blowjob if we're feeling a bit too much".

He came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist; he was greeted with a sight of his wife puking all over the bed, feeling nauseous.

felt with trauma of losing his first love, he ran to her, grabbing her in his arms; he screamed & screamed, "GUNTHER, COME HERE, GUNTHER!!", Suddenly the vampire appeared in a flash. "Worry not, good sir," he said, checking Himawari's health. He expected many things: food poisoning, sick stomach, even tuberculosis, god forbid, but the age-old vampire's eyes were widened when he realized what's wrong with his lord's wife.

"Good lord's eternal bliss," he said, turning towards Hashirama.

"Good sir, Lady Hima's pregnant.".

Hashirama's world was shaken; he expected many things, even stomach cancer, but not that. A storm of shock, betrayal, & even anger surged into his often happy mind, and as said, they decided to give each other some time in this arranged marriage before having real sex, so how is his wife pregnant? Did she cheat on him? Grief jumped into that storm as Gunther, ever the loyal butler, warmly held his master's shoulder.

"Good sir, fear not, Lady Hima's womanhood hasn't been breached, for my vampire senses can still detect purity from her loins," he said.

Hashirama's face was contorted, not in anger, but in confusion. "How can a virgin be pregnant?".

Gunther looked at Hashirama for a while before saying, "I have lived for more than 6 centuries, my lord, & I have seen many things—I have done many things, but lord, I myself am not sure," he said in his thick Romanian accent. "When I was a man, I had great faith in the great lord's stories about the messiah born from a virgin maiden," he said, putting a hand over the cross on his neck, "but is this the same case? I don't know.".

Hashirama was perplexed, flabbergasted even; he wasn't getting it, but he didn't have time to understand, as Satsuya had been awakened by his previous scream and came in the room. "Dad, what's wrong?" she asked, still in her weird penguin pajamas, sounding worried & concerned.

"Lady Suya," Gunther said, not losing his thick Romanian accent, "You are about to be an older sister again.".

Satsuya's world flipped as she began to shriek in happiness; she ran & hugged her parents, even the step one. She said, "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?".

Seeing her excitement, Hashirama can't reveal the circumstances of the foetus inside his wife's chambers, so he hugged her back "I know, right? Go tell your sisters," he said, kissing her on the forehead, looking at Gunther, who gave him the. Months passed by, as the sisters were kept oblivious to the fact that the child wasn't conceived by any kind of touch. One fine night, Hashirama walked out as he saw the birthmark of the Mugiwara clan as a constellation. He heard it—his wife's sudden screams as she entered labor. Many female workers of the mansion appeared on notice to help her. Satsuya helped, Nishoku prayed, and Miyoko wished, as they don't want to lose another mother to child birth, little to their knowledge. Hima's hymen was torn as the infant made his way out of her, her hip bone fractured & her insides messed up, as the baby came out willingly without any help; Hashirama can see it; it was a boy, his first boy, future of the Mugiwara clan, one born with the Mugiwara birthmark on his shoulder. The child had silver hair, unlike any of his forefathers; he had eyes redder than The only thing mugyiwara about him, other than the mark, is that he can see it, it's his blood through & through, and he gave the child to Gunther, "You get to name it, just like you named me & my forefathers before.".

Gunther looked at the newborn infant, who looked surprisingly big & intelligent for someone seconds after birth; he wasn't crying & his eyes were open. He had held many children of mugyiwaras before, but this child... it's something, in his thick Romanian accent, the vampire butler said.

"From now on, this little lord, who will be my future master, for whom I will lay down my life if needed, of whom I serve, the next heir of the Mugyiwara clan, the child born from a virgin, & my good master's first son, will be known as Shotaro Mugyiwara."
