Warm.

Very warm.

I felt a hand touching my forehead.

Even my Okaa-san wasn't as warm as the hand.

Who are they?

Muzan-San? There's no way. Nobody wants a untalented child like me.

I can move my fingers now.

I want to see who is taking care of me so I could thank them.

Muzan Second POV:

You treating his wounds from all over. There was this big bruise on his left arm, probably from their father. No doubt.

"Ngh..." a weak voice came from Michikatsu, you quickly walked over to where he could see things and stared at him with a blank face.

"A- ah! Muzan-San?!" He asked with a surprise.

You crossed your arms and raised a brow.

"Hm?" You hummed.

"Uhhh..." he has no words to say, looking away sweatdropping.

"Sigh. You could've told me earlier that your having a hard time, but it's fine since your all better now." You said, patting his head again.

Michikatsu stared in daze and quickly his face flushed in all shades of red. Probably because of embarrassment.

"Listen Michikatsu. I'll give you two chooses now" you told him a after he calmed down. He looked at you with a serious expression.

"1. To go back to your Otou-san which would possibly lead you to death, or 2. Make your dad to disown you so I can adopt you" His eyes widen after you said you would adopt him.

Him? Really?

Not Yoriichi?

But he's horrible at swordsman and his education was only focusing on warfare's not leading people.

What if you becomes disappointed at him? The thought made him tremble.

You took a notice of his reaction.

"I told you to stop thinking negative about yourself Michikatsu. The people who has the confidence and determination can always get to their goals? It's kinda cheesy but it's true though" you said in embarrassment while scratching your head.

You suddenly felt something push against you.

You looked down and saw Michikatsu hugging you, as if he was holding onto you for dear life.

"I... don't want to be adopted by you.." He started to say, making you stop and listen.

"Because, I want to be someone who can fight Along side of you, not as father and son but as trusted comrades.. and I think there can only be one kibutsuji now, and it's you. So you can be special this way." He said while looking down.

You sighed, what a cute boy.

"I see. Then how about this, I'll take you under my wing and train you to become the best samurai? Then you can finally fight with me and possibly protect me" you laughed, knowing it's not going to happen because your very powerful and doesn't need protection.

"Yes! I will definitely protect Muzan-San! Arigato!!" Michikatsu said happily.

~~~

"You want to take him under your wing?" Michikatsu's father asked with a curious gaze at your hidden form. You were undercover.

"Yes. I wish for you to let him come under my wing and train as a samurai."

"There's no need. He is talentless, don't bother training him" The father said, making you grit your teeth but hid it with a smile.

"So it's fine right? He is less talented compared to your other son so I can train him to become a decent samurai that helps Yoriichi-San out, wouldn't that be great?" You asked, tilting your head.

He thought about it, you even added that you could train him for free. And finally he allowed it. Giving the guardian permission to you.

You thanked him and took Michikatsu to your house.

Michikatsu's POV:

Michikatsu looked back at his old home. Which is now not his anymore.

His home is with you now. Wherever you go, he will go with you. And promise to protect you, even with his life.

So he will work hard and become strong, stronger than his brother will ever be. Even if his brother and him is training under the same teacher Michikatsu has more advantage because he is going to live with teacher from now on.

But for now, let's settle down first. I'm his new home.
