The King's Queen

Chapter 17

Purple hair that faded into blue at the ends looked on at his friend and brother with tired eyes, the same man who he shared his childhood and life with. "Are you really leaving Yoshimitsu?"

His orange eyes wavered in deep despair at the utterance of that sentence but he needed answers. His brother, Yoshimitsu looked at him with a bright smile as he answered yes. "Why Yoshi, why would you leave being a jujutsu sorcerer?!" The slightly tanned man exclaimed as his brother simply laughed at his pitiful display, "Onii-chan why would I stay here." The s/c individual asked still smiling even in such a tense atmosphere, the orange eyed man gritted his teeth at his brother's soft words as he didn't want to believe the truth in front of him at all.

"Because of Kenjaku! Uraume!.... Sukuna...and me..." his voice broke as he uttered out the last word as tears gathered in his eyes, "Sukuna is almost fifteen and Kenjaku sixteen, they can take care of Uraume by themselves just fine without me, as for you..." he paused before exclaiming, "Your bloody thirty-six years old!! Grow up!!" Yoshimitsu shouted at his childish older brother whilst still keeping his infectious smile.

"You know if you defect like this-" he was cut off by a purposely loud sigh from Yoshimitsu as the h/c haired man made a goofy face, "Eh I will still leave in the end, after all I don't care if I leave as long as I can keep them safe is all that matters." He said with a warm smile as his brother shared the same thoughts, 'It is too dangerous for them to be left alone.' Yoshimitsu with a hum spoke again, "If I am going to defect then at least I get to see my youngest daughter ninth birthday, as well as seeing my other daughters." He reasoned, "But what about the boys!?" "The boys will be fine, Toshihiro!" Yoshimitsu exclaimed getting tired of his brother's argument, his smile still remained but it was taking an annoyed edge now.

Seeing his brother clear disapproval he tried reasoning with him once more, "Kenjaku even though he is mischievous he is extremely mature and intelligent, he can handle himself quite well, Uraume is also very mature for his age and will have guidance from his senpai and you." Yoshimitsu explained more like pleaded with his brother to understand,

"You forgot about Sukuna, yes Kenjaku and Uraume will be more rational with you leaving, with your reasons, but have you thought about Sukuna?" Toshihiro crossed his arms in frustration and anger, "Sukuna won't be able to handle your resignation, he may act like he doesn't care about anything. However, if you leave pathetically like what you plan on doing. I don't think the jujutsu society will still be intact by the end of his rampage."

For once Yoshimitsu's smile went into a straight line as he is gaze fell on the lake beside the rock which he decided would be his seat. "Honestly yes I do think Sukuna will go into murderous rage, I even know for a fact that he will enlist Kenjaku and Uraume to go along with his craziness but... it's the only option I have." "BULLSHIT!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU YOSHI, YOU HAVE NEVER BACKED DOWN BEFORE SO WHY NOW!!?" Toshihiro shouted in rage at his brother and best friend, Yoshimitsu just smiled as his hand went to his yukata moving it to the side to show his brother what was underneath.

Toshihiro's eyes widened in shock as he staggered back in disbelief, "The general that did this to me wants to kill one of my daughters as payment for the death of his first born son at the hands of one of my students." There on his body laid a gruesome scar that travelled from his neck all the way to his hip with a width of ten centimetres or even more. "Though I can't say I didn't give him the worst scar imaginable, the jujutsu society, the same society that I have worked tirelessly for many years alongside you Onii-chan, have given me the option to discard my honour as a jujutsu sorcerer and shamelessly abandon the cause or to choose one of my girls to sacrifice." Yoshimitsu kept his smile up even though tears fell from his eyes in sadness, Toshihiro couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger at such a revelation.
