"But mumma.. I don't want to kiss a boy"

You pouted your lips whilst simultaneously frowning. Your fingers nervously laced together neatly on your lap as you finally drew your gaze back to the mirror in front of you.

"Honey you don't have to kiss him" she hummed, smiling softly as she continued to gently comb through your silky ivory locks. "But it's important that this meeting goes well. That means being polite and no funny business"

She stopped brushing and waved the comb authoritatively next to your head. "Y/n are you listening?"

You snapped back from your thoughts as the sound of the plastic instrument tapped against the vanity table in front of you. "Can you tell me the story again?" You looked up at your mother quizzically.

She was a striking woman, every hair on her body was as white as tundric snow, even her eyelashes look like they'd been bitten by frost. She was tall and lean, standing quite a height above the average female. You'd often wonder to yourself what she would look like dressed casual as she was always in formal attire.
Probably the most unnerving of all were her raging scarlet eyes, the crisp crimson engolfing the ebony iris' within.

Yes, to the majority of the world your mother was breathtaking in the most beautiful and unsettling way. Yet to your family and you, this was the look.
This was the way you all looked.

She sighed, sliding the comb through your bangs once more.
"I suppose so"

🀅

Thousands of years ago a young, poor, married couple gave birth to twin boys.
The twins were marvelled from the beginning due to their captivating appearance. Both boys had icy white hair. Illumi, the eldest twin, had fierce ruby orbs whilst Rin, the younger twin, had captivating azure eyes.

Both boys were inseperable and as the years went on their bond grew stronger and stronger. The young family became notorious for the two beautifully unique sons they'd created and soon the household had come into wealth and prosperity.

The months turned into years and the two boys were now men. Both were not only special due to their appearance but honed intense amounts of cursed energy and abilities in the Jujutsu world.

Illumi was able to use his cursed energy to create and manipulate any element.
Whilst training his technique he also became the first ever sorcerer to tame an infernal drake.
Infernal drakes, now called our dragons, are supernatural beings that have the power to destroy cursed spirits with minimal effort. Only special grade cursed objects have the potential to bring one down.

Rin was gifted the cursed ability of limitless, enabling him to destort and manipulate space. The intense aqua of his eyes was formed by his six eyes, allowing him to see the flow of cursed energy, read cursed techniques and apply his cursed energy effectively.
His limitless in combination with six eyes made him forbidible.

Fame, power and wealth immersed their lives and soon they became much to cocky. Each twin thought they could outmatch the other, and it would be to their demise.
The fighting at first was competitive sparring, nothing more than a bit of fun. Each time the battles became more intense and aggressive, the men sometimes walking about with almost mortal wounds.

Their bonds withered as they married away, had children and became more distant from one another. The last fight they ever had was almost the end of them both.

They vowed their families would never again be one.

"So that's why I have to marry this boy some day?" You leaned your head back to stare up at your mother. She gazed down at you and tapped the comb on the tip of your nose. "It's just a story y/n. But some elements are true... the two great sorcerer houses must unite."

"Come on, let's tidy up this kimono"

The next hour was spent ensuring you looked perfect for your future family.
Your seven year old brain still couldn't comprehend the gravity of the situation and how this meeting would change your life forever.
