IF MUZAN WAS KIND (Muzan x Tamayo)

Chapter 13: Douma's Past/Pt.1.2

<>(Edo Period— Shiga)<>

They arrived at the cult shrine. "Welcome to the Eternal Paradise Faith.", Jiro welcomed Tamayo in.

The trees with hair-like leaves were inviting.

They entered inside the shrine house as Jiro guided Tamayo towards his son's room.

The child rested on his futon with alot of pillows surrounding him.
"Ah! You must be the doctor!", the woman sitting beside the futon turned towards Tamayo with a bright smile.
Tamayo smiled back at her.

Jiro frowned as he saw his wife as he curved up a fake smile.
"This is my wife— Ayame Hasegawa.", Jiro introduced his wife to Tamayo.
Tamayo bowed her head gently at Ayame "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hasegawa.", Tamayo greeted "Well, nice to meet you too, doctor. Can you check up my son?", Ayame asked and Tamayo nodded.

Tamayo sat beside the child's futon with her suitcase rested just near her.
The child was awake. The child weakly looked up at Tamayo. The child's vision was blurry.
Tamayo awed as the child had platinum blonde hair, rainbow eyes, and a fair white complexion that matches his angelic look.

"You must be the 'young master'. It's nice to meet you.", Tamayo spoke to the child with a gentle and motherly voice.
"Are you god's wife...?", the child asked out of breath "Unfortunately, no, my dear.", Tamayo told him.
"She's the doctor, young master.", Ayame chimed.
The child nodded as he sat up.
"It's time for my check up...", the child mumbled "Please leave us for a moment.", the child ordered as his parents nodded and obeyed their child as they left them alone inside the room.

The child looked at Tamayo weakly. "What is your name?", the child asked "My name is Tamayo Kibutsuji.", Tamayo answered.
"Do you have a name?", Tamayo asked the child but the child shook his head in response.
"I feel sad for you..", Tamayo said "Why would you feel sad about me?", the child asked curiously with his face remaining expressionless.
"Because you weren't given a name.", Tamayo answered "What's the use of a name?", the child asked "Well, If you don't have a name, then you have no identity.", Tamayo answered as she then opened her suitcase.

"They said to me that mere humans like them have no rights to name a child that is a incarnation of heaven. Only heaven could name me.", the child explained like an adult "You said that a name gives you identity, is this why I remain void of emotions? Because I don't have a name?", the child asked Tamayo "Void of emotions..?", Tamayo paused as she looked at the child.

"They taught me to behave and that I should always smile... it hurts my cheeks sometimes.", the child said as he gently rubbed his cheek.
The child then sighed with a saddened look.

Tamayo then checked the child's temperature. The child had a fever.
Tamayo then took out a small glass bottle and a small cup.
Tamayo poured an ounce.

"What is that?", the child asked in curiosity "It's a medicine. It will cure your illness.", Tamayo explained "Here. Drink it.", Tamayo handed the child the small cup.
The child stared at the honey-like substance within the cup before drinking it.
The child shivered and had a displeased face once he drank the medicine.
"Are you alright? Here, have some water.", Tamayo handed the child a cup of water which he quickly took and gulped it up.

The child huffed as he rested his head back on his pillow.
"It looked like honey but tasted bitter..", the child grumbled as Tamayo giggled and patted the child's head gently.
"Was that all it's going to take to get me well again?", the child asked "Yes. I will prescribe your mother to use this medicine.", Tamayo responded as she closed the cap of the glass bottle.
