44 All you have to do was follow the damn Train
But before Kaguya could proceed with her plan, she heard a question from her warden.
"I have a question...not as a god to another....but as a....human. What forces you to be so? Your emotional state is a mess and your aura reeks of regret and depression."
Kaguya looks at Gilgamesh in shock, thinking how did he know about her feeling.
Gilgamesh who had seen her story from the Naruto show had always expressed interest and even sympathy towards what happens to Kaguya and her story.
"My chains, they told me of your feeling." Answered Gilgamesh, towards Kaguya.
Kaguya then remembered the question he asks of her...as a human.
Flashback.
Tenji walked towards Kaguya and hugged her tenderly.
"My princess, I could not wait for the day where our kingdom is at peace and I could finally marry you...make you my queen...my wife."
Tenji who was the Emperor of the Land of the Ancestors said to his love.
Kaguya then rests her face on his lover's shoulder.
She like Tenji wanted to bring peace towards the land, to allow the common villager to be safe and happy.
"Do not rush it, my king, I will also be there with you, accompanying you all the way."
"Indeed so, but I am afraid..peace will not be achieved so easily.
"No matter what, I am here with you, now and forever."
After a while, they separated from the hug albeit reluctantly.
Tenji then look at his lover's eye, her beautiful exotic face was not what made him fall in love with her, but her cause for peace and the idea similar to him was what made it so, they discuss about
their plan to bring peace even further and that is where Tenji knew that he had fallen for her.
"Indeed my love, no matter what, I will also love you. How is your day my love, do you need anything?"
Next scene.
"Ukita Sukemoro....*sign* sentence those who dare threaten the peace between us and the Land of That to death.
Ukita Sukemoro who was the prime minister and the caretaker of Emperor Tenji advised his lord once again.
"My king, such choice will result in a few dissatisfied lords and might endanger your rule."
Emperor Tenji who had a personal reason for rushing the peace between the two villages simply said.
"Then detain those who oppose it and after the peace treaty, we shall make further decision.
Ukita, seeing his lord had made up his mind obeyed his order.
"Dismiss."
"Long Live the Emperor."
After the various noble and official had paid their respect, quickly left.
Tenji then got up from his throne and quickly made his way towards his comfort.
"My love."
Tenji had directly entered the room and hug Kaguya as soon as he saw her.
Kaguya of course with her power that was unknown to Tenji knew of the conversation.
Kaguya knew that Tenji was rushing for peace so that he could finally marry in peace without worry that a war might break out any moment.
Kaguya simply hugs her lover back and comfort him lovingly, as it is hard on him to entertain so many schemes and plot with little to no one to fully trust.
Kaguya knew that Tenji and her vision for peace for not wholly approve as the other lord wishes for war.
She would accompany her lover and fight with him if need be.
She would keep the news of her pregnancy with his children a secret until their marriage where she would tell the good news.
She was not afraid that Tenji would reject their child as Tenji often spoke hopefully and lovingly about pampering their future princess and prince.
'This...is heaven...hopefully this will last forever.' Kaguya thought with a gentle smile on her face.
Next Scene.
"Kaguya-Sama!"
Kaguya used the last of her power to block the arrow that was raining down on her and her last loyal...friend..by the order of her..lov...enemy.
"Ughh" Kaguya, not having enough strength to block was then hit by some of the arrows.
"Kaguya-Sama!" Aino, the only one accompanying Kaguya exclaimed, she blocked the arrow for her a lowly maid.
'How could anyone who was considered a monster and a demon protect somehow as lowly as her? She was obviously ousted as a scapegoat, perhaps lord Tenji does not know about it...Yes, this is the case, after all, Kaguya-Sama bore the child of lord Tenji...this is all a plot to end the royal
bloodline...I must prevent this....to repay the kindness both Kaguya-Sama and lord Tenji had shown me.' In the moment of thinking, Ainon had forgotten the fact that the pregnancy was kept secret and know only between her and Kaguya.
Ainon then rushes towards the troop of the Land of the Ancestor waving her hand madly while trying to shout the top of her lung.
"LORD TENJI PLEASE WAIT...THIS MIGHT ALL BE A MISUNDERSTANDING.. KAGUYA-SAMA BORE YOUR-----"
Before Ainon could shout out the rest of it, she was mercilessly shot down by another rain of arrow.
"your....ch...child.."
Tenji who heard some of it consider it as a ploy to distract him and order his troop to march on and kill the monster.
Kaguya who saw all those knew that she had only one hope to survive...the chakra fruit.
She made a run for it towards the direction of the God Tree.
Next scene.
"I...was right...you were a monster...a monster...like you should not exist...you are not the one...I had loved."
"Why can't you understand...all I ever wanted was to BRING PEACE TO THE WORLD..THE SAME AS YOUR DREAM, WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!"
"No, you...a monster..could never understand...human."
"I...I...am pregnant with your child...why..this was supposed...to be....the day...you propose to me..and I will share the news with you..."
"A monster...could only..give birth to a monster...I would rather...kill the child that---"
Kaguya finally could not take it any longer and slice off her lover's head.
Kaguya for the first time in her entire life...broke down in tears.
End of Flashback.
Kaguya then reluctantly share her past with her warden.
________
After hearing her past, Gilgamesh did shed a few tears, albeit quickly wipes it away and Kaguya did not witness this due to her being too emotional right now for telling her past.
'It seems...even that she..and I do have some similarities.'
"Kaguya, have your dream changed? Or do you still seek to bring peace to the world?"
Kaguya shakes her head
"My dream had never changed...chakra was never supposed to be shared among human...even when I am imprisoned, I could guess of the terror it brought when human could use chakra..my dream was to take back all chakra and restore it...to what it was supposed to be."
Gilgamesh as if decided upon something, recall all of the chains binding Kaguya, thus making her regain her strength almost immediately.
Gilgamesh then stood in front of Kaguya and raise one of his hand up and said.
"Would you then help me to punish this world and teach them the consequences of their action and finally...to bring peace...to the world?"
