Volume 1: Chapter 2: My New Life

Location: Gojo Clan Compound

POV: Third Person

???1: "IT HURTS!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!

???2: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

In one of the rooms of the Gojo Clan Compound, a raven-haired woman and a white-haired woman are inside screaming in pain as they are in the process of labor.

Helping them both are the clan midwife and maids who were helping during the process.

Midwife: "Don't worry Satsuki-sama, Satomi-sama. You're almost there. Just one more push."

11:59 PM.

Midwife: "Okay, at the count of 3, the both of you push as hard as you can. 1... 2... 3... Push!"

Satsuki: "GGRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Satomi: "GOJO YAMATO!!! I AM GONNA KILL YOU!!!"

12:00 AM.

*Babies Crying*

The Midwife sighed in relief as the other maids carried the babies.

They did the basic procedures and after a while, she said.

Midwife: "Date of Birth: December 7, 1989. Congratulations Satsuki-sama, Satomi-sama. They are both healthy baby boys."

Satsuki and Satomi, while extremely exhausted, smiled happily as she raised her arms.

Satsuki: "C-Can we... hold... our babies?"

The Midwife nodded as they gently gave the infants to their respective mothers.

Midwife: "I'll give you both some alone time. Call us if there's any issue."

She left along with the maids.

Satsuki looked at her child with tears of joy while Satomi looked at her son with love and happiness.

A couple of minutes later, Satomi first spoke.

Satomi: "They're so cute~ Don't you think so, Sa-chan?"

...

Satomi: "Sa-chan?"

She looked at her fellow mother as Satsuki was lost in thought.

Satsuki then used her free hand to caress her baby's head.

Satsuki: "Our baby... Roshi... If only you were here... We would've... Just why did they have to take you from us?"

The mother just wept silently as she cried in sadness.

Satomi frowned as she looked at her grieving friend.

Satomi: "Satsuki..."

Satomi's tears fall on her newborn's forehead as he opens his eyes.

As she was crying, she felt a small hand on her cheek, as if it was wiping her tears.

Satsuki stared in surprise as she looked at her baby.

Jet black hair like hers, but Crimson red eyes just like his father's.

But what surprised her was his eyes.

It was filled with curiosity and intelligence as he looked at her.

Satsuki: 'It's like... he's comforting me. And the look in his eyes... it's just like... I'm with Roshi again...'

Satsuki finally sorted out her emotions as she smiled and kissed the baby's forehead.

Satsuki: "Don't cry over a bitter past, but smile at a better future... That's what your father's last words before he sent me away. I didn't know what his words meant... but now I know. You are a part of him... His living legacy... A proof that he lived through you."

She then started cradling her child.

Satsuki: "The world will resent you... But know that when life is cruel to you... I and your father will always be there to support you, even if we aren't there. No matter what, we will always love you... our little Kokketsu Satoshi."

Satomi finally spoke.

Satomi: "Kokketsu Satoshi... What a beautiful name. He and Satoru would make great friends."

Satsuki looked at her friend as she asked.

Satsuki: "Gojo Satoru. The name fits him perfectly. Also, do you think so?"

Satomi chuckled as she caressed her son.

Satomi: "I know so. Now, wanna talk about-"

Both mothers then started talking as one of the babies was resting.

POV: Kokketsu Satoshi

Kokketsu: 'Well... I guess that happened. And it looks like I'm the same age as Gojo. I guess this is God's wish for me to get me a good start.'

I looked at my side to see my new mother as she happily talked to what I assume is Gojo's Mom.

I have to admit, she looked like a gender-bent Gojo, but my new mom somewhat rivals her beauty.

And here I thought I'd get the cliche treatment of losing my mom on the same day of my birth.

Kokketsu: 'I have to thank God for that later. Kokketsu Satoshi huh... Not bad.'

I yawned cutely as I started feeling sleepy.

Kokketsu: 'Wow. Just a few minutes of being awake and I'm already exhausted? No wonder babies sleep a lot.'

I closed my eyes as I let sleep take over.

Timeskip: 6 Years Later

Location: Tagara Umebayashi Park

December 27, 1995.

Six years since my reincarnation.

I was at the park admiring the beautiful view with a maid next to me holding a wagasa.

Kokketsu: "This is pretty nice. I like the Zen vibes this place gives. I can relax in this place with no problems."

Just as I said that I heard a yawn behind me as I looked around to see a white-haired youth wearing a white kimono, the opposite color of my black one.

Gojo: "What's so cool about some boring scenery? If I wanted to relax, I'd just go to bed and play video games."

There he was, Gojo Satoru, sole heir to the Gojo Clan and my best friend/rival.

Not only did God decide to make me the same age as Gojo, but made it so that my parents and Gojo's parents are good friends to the point where they let us live with them.

And under their protection, the Zenins and Kamos can't do anything to us, and this also let me befriend Gojo easily... sort of.

I mean, the guy has op eyeballs that let him see the world differently from even the most elite Sorcerers & Curses.

It took me a while, but I managed to become equal to him when our other Innate Techniques unlocked on our fifth birthday.

I just smiled as I shook my head.

Kokkestu: "I guess even your eyes can't perceive and appreciate such a simple scenery. But I guess that's to be expected. Don't worry, I'll still hang out with you, Six Eyes."

I continued walking to the path while leaving Gojo with a visible tick mark on his forehead.

Gojo: "Did you just call me blind, Gothboy?"

I stopped as I looked back and smirked.

Kokkestu: "Your words, not mine."

Gojo was now visibly annoyed and sighed.

A couple of minutes later, we both continued walking the path together.

But as we walked to our next destination, we both stopped in our tracks.

Gojo: "Satoshi."

I spoke.

Kokketsu: "I know."

We both turned around to see a black-haired man with a scar on his lip.

Kokketsu: 'Fushiguro Toji, aka the Sorcerer Killer. The man who changed the fate of Gojo and Geto in the plot. How can someone who has a wife and kid become one of Gojo's greatest adversaries?'

As we started at him, he looked visibly surprised, as if he wasn't expected to be caught.

After a one-minute starting contest, we turned around and continued our way.

Gojo: "That was weird. He had zero Cursed Energy on him."

I nodded.

Kokketsu: "I know right? I only sensed him when I detected a human-shaped shadow behind us. A Heavenly Restriction perhaps?"

He shrugged.

Gojo: "Possibly. But if that's the case, I wonder what he gets in exchange?"

Toji: 'They can see me...'

Location: Gojo Clan Compound

POV: Kokketsu Satoshi

An hour of sightseeing later, we finally arrived back at the Gojo Clan Compound.

Waiting for us at the entrance are our mothers, Gojo Satomi & Kokketsu Satsuki.

Satsuki: "Welcome back Sato-kun. How's the trip?"

She opened her arms for a hug, to which I reciprocated with my face buried in between her huge... personality.

Kokketsu: "Mama, it was cool. I get to see some cool-looking stuff around Tokyo. But Satoru said it was super boring."

As we both let go of the hug, Satomi raised her eyebrow as she looked at her son.

Satomi: "Sato-kun, if you didn't wanna go, why did you insist on joining him?"

That's right, our moms decided to give us the same nicknames, just like them.

Satoru just shrugged and said.

Gojo: "Hey, it was even more boring being by myself and I had nothing better to do. I might as well join Satoshi if anything is interesting to see."

Satomi just smiled as she crossed her arms.

Satomi: "Is that so? Are you sure it's not because you wanna hang out with your "One & Only Bestie" and you are too embarrassed to ask him?"

Gojo just walked past her mother as his maid followed him.

Gojo: "Whatever Kaa-san. I don't know what you're talking about."

Unfortunately for him, we saw a glimpse of him blushing a bit from his ears as he walked away.

Satomi/Satsuki/Kokketsu: 'Heh, Tsundere~.'

A while later, I excused myself as I followed to where Gojo was going.

Kokketsu: 'Knowing Gojo, he's probably at the Training Grounds, waiting for me.'

And as I expected, Gojo was there, resting on a nearby Sakura tree.

I walked towards him and sat next to the tree.

Gojo: "Took you long enough. Busy cuddling with Satsuki Obaa-san?"

I just rolled my eyes in response.

Kokketsu: "It's called loving your mother. Try it sometime, Six Eyes. Anyway, same as before?"

He nodded as I bit on my right thumb and thought.

Kokketsu: 'Blood Manipulation: Convergence.'
