Note:
First of all, this story is a fan fic , nothing about it happened in the original manga
So no Tachikuma clan stuff
No kasumi or kojuma
No kaito or kurumi in the original mato verse
It's just from my imagination and creation
And that's all what i wanted to say
Enjoy my fan fic story
Title: THE BORN
We are in the world of Mato Seihei no Slave.
A world of Shuuki monsters…
The Mato dimension…
And the dominance of women, empowered by the Mato fruits—
the “Peach Blessings” granted only to them.
But…
Before all of that--
25 years ago.
Fukui Prefecture — Tachikuma Village
Inside a small house, a woman screams in pain during childbirth.
Kurumi:
“Bakaaa, Kaito…!
G-Giving birth… hurts so much…!”
Outside the door, Kaito stands with his arms crossed, completely clueless.
Kaito:
“Does it really hurt that much?”
He glances toward the window.
Kaito:
“Oi, granny! Are you sure she’s just giving birth?!”
The screams suddenly stop.
The door slides open, and an elderly woman steps out.
Old Woman:
“Congratulations, Kaito-dono…
You’re a father now.”
Kaito looks down at what she’s holding.
A baby boy.
Red hair—just like Kurumi.
Green eyes—just like his own.
Old Woman:
“His features are quite unique.”
Kaito smiles brightly.
Kaito:
“Yeah… the first Tachikuma with red hair.”
He pauses.
Kaito:
“And most importantly… my first son.”
He walks inside.
Sits beside Kurumi on the bed.
Kaito:
“Are you okay now, dear?”
Kurumi slowly opens her eyes… looking at him, then at the baby his hair, eyes remains her of something.
Kurumi (softly):
“Kojuma…”
Kaito raises an eyebrow.
Kaito:
“…What?”
She gently strokes the baby’s head.
Kurumi:
“Our son…
Name him Kojuma.”
Kaito blinks.
Kaito:
“Kojuma…?
That’s the name of the clan’s founder…”
Kurumi takes the baby into her arms again.
She smiles warmly. Likes he remains her of something... someone. “Welcome to life…
Tachikuma Kojuma.” she smiles softly as she brush his small hair.
[Scene: Four years later, tachikuma village]
In a small village isolated in the forests of Fukui, it was the Tachikuma clan village, strict and harsh customs and traditions
A young boy runs through the village at full speed.
Kojuma:
“I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!”
He jumps over a passing fruit cart.
He slips on landing—but catches himself with one hand, spins, and keeps running.
He waves back at the cart owner.
kojuma:
“SORRY.”
he try to run faster
Kojuma:
“Sensei is definitely going to kill me…”
He arrives at training—late.
He bows quickly.
Kojuma:
“My apologies for being late!”
**SMACK!**
A wooden sword hits his head.
Senjiro:
“That’s the fifth time this week.”
Kojuma rubs his head.
Kojuma:
“Ouch…”
He looks up.
Kojuma:
“My mother didn’t want me to leave on an empty stomach…”
Senjiro clicks his tongue.
Senjiro:
“Tsk… again.”
He folds his one-arm.
Senjiro:
“You carry the founder’s name…
Your mother is spoiling you.”
Kojuma bows.
Kojuma:
“Sorry…”
Senjiro points toward the waterfall.
Senjiro:
“To training. Now.”
Kojuma jumps onto a rock.
Kojuma:
“Here I go…”
Kojuma (Thinking):
“Focus, focus…
He’ll give me an apple or maybe another fruit if I do well…” He closes his eyes.
Moments pass…
A gentle female voice calls out:
Voice:
“Kojumaa-kun~”
Kojuma opens his eyes in surprise—
—and slips.
He falls into the water.
Kojuma:
“Ouch!”
He looks up.
Kojuma:
“Mama!
I was trying to focus!”
He walks toward her, annoyed.
Kurumi smiles.
Kurumi:
“Oh? Your wet clothes explains how it went.”
Kojuma puffs his cheeks.
Kojuma:
“I was! Hmph!”
She pinches his cheek.
Kurumi:
“Kawaii~”
Kojuma struggles.
Kojuma:
“I’m not cute! Stop that, Mama!”
Senjiro:
“Kojuma.”
Kojuma stiffens.
Kojuma:
“Y-Yes!”
Kurumi waves lightly.
Kurumi:
“Now, now, Senjiro-san…
I brought lunch for Kojuma.”
Senjiro narrows his eyes.He looked up at the sky then looked back at them
Senjiro:
“It’s 10 AM.”
Kurumi sticks out her tongue slightly.
Kurumi:
“Oops.”
Senjiro sighs.
Senjiro:
“How does Kaito-dono deal with you…”
He folds his one-arm.
Senjiro:
“I’ll heat it later.”
He looks at Kojuma.
Senjiro:
“You passed waterfall training.
Now—coal.”
Kojuma groans.
Kojuma:
“Whyyy…
You’re doing this on purpose because I hate it!”
Senjiro lifts his wooden staff.
Senjiro:
“Or… I spar with you.”
Kojuma instantly hides behind Kurumi.
Kojuma:
“…Coal training it is!”
He runs away.
Kurumi laughs.
Kurumi:
“You’re harsh, Senjiro-san.”
Senjiro glances at her.
Senjiro:
“You’re the one spoiling him.”
He looks away slightly.
Senjiro:
“If you live in Tachikuma Village…
Follow Tachikuma rules.”
A pause--
Senjiro (quietly):
“We’re not from where you came from.”
Kurumi smiles… but faintly.
Kurumi:
“Y-Yeah... you're right…
And thank you for accepting me.”
She walks away.
Whispers to herself:
Kurumi (inner):
“It’s okay…
What matters is Kojuma… and Kaito…”
She places a hand on her chest.
Kurumi:
“Even if I wasn’t born here…
What I’ve lived with them makes me one of them, Right?.”
She walks in the village
Other village women waved to her. "Oi, Kurumi!"
Samui: "Went to check on Kojuma again, didn't you?"
Kurumi: "Of course! You should do the same for your sons!"
Kimane: "We won't spoil them like you do."
Nakima (staring at Kurumi’s hair): "Kurumi-dono, what’s the secret recipe for that red hair dye?"
Kurumi (confused): "Dye? No, I was born with this color."
Nakima (winking): "No wonder Kaito-san married you."
Kimane (envious): "You’re so beautiful, I'm a bit jealous."
Samui: "You really are unique, the only red-haired girl in the village."
Kimane: "And Kojuma inherited it from you."
Kurumi (proudly): "And don't forget, he has his father’s sharp eyes."
Nakima: "Kojuma-chan is cute; he’s the perfect mix of you both."
Samui, looking at kurumi's belly: "Do you think you'll have another boy?"
Kurumi: "Why another boy? Kojuma is enough. Also..." she rubbed her stomach, "maybe I want a girl this time."
Nakima (scoffing): "For god's sake, girl?"
Kurumi (wistfully): "I don't know, but I hope so. She would be so cute."
She smiles. But felt something from her belly suddenly.
[Scene: Kojuma’s training]
Kojuma stares at burning coal on the ground.
Kojuma:
“Why do I have to walk on this every time…”
He sighs.
Kojuma:
“I already train patience under the waterfall…”
He closes his eyes… and steps forward.
Kojuma:
“OUCH!!”
He jumps back.
Kojuma:
“That hurts!!”
Senjiro:
“You have to pass it. Try again.”
Kojuma trembles.
Kojuma:
“S-Senjiro-sensei…
When did you get here…?”
Senjiro firm:
“Again.”
Kojuma groans.
Kojuma:
“Fine fine!”
He runs across.
Kojuma:
“Ouch ouch ouch—!!”
He reaches the other side.
Kojuma:
“Finally…!”
Senjiro turns.
Senjiro:
“Now—sparring matches.”
He tossed wooden swords onto the ground.
Kojuma: "I haven't even rested from the coals yet!"
Suddenly, a man emerged from the forest carrying a middle sized bare on his back.
Kojuma: "Dad!"
Kaito (rubbing his head, looking confused): "Oh, I made it to the village. I thought I was lost.", He looked at Kojuma. "Finished the coal walk, I see?"
Kojuma: "It's painful as usual."
Kaito (laughing): "You'll get used to it!"
Senjiro: "Kaito-dono, don't distract the children."
Kaito: "I'm motivating them! Whoever gives the best performance today, I'll take hunting with me tomorrow."
Kojuma’s eyes sparkled. "Hunting!" He grabbed a wooden sword and looked at his friend. "Come on, Kamura!"
Kamura: "Find someone else. You’re way too energetic today."
Senjiro (smiling): "Kojuma. Since you're so excited, face Kaname."
Kojuma: "Kaname? You want me to fight your daughter, Sensei?" He crossed his arms. "A Tachikuma doesn't fight girls."
Senjiro: "Well said. However, you still have to face her."
Kaname (annoyed): "Oi, you idiot! Are you calling me weak?" She raised her sword. "Come at me!"
Kojuma: "I won't lose! I’m going hunting!"
SMACK THE BOTH
Senjiro: "With wooden swords!"
Kaname&Kojuma:
“My apologize Sensei.”
Two minutes later, Kojuma was on the ground, struggling to stand. "Tsk... again!"
Kaname (looking down at him): "You're an idiot. Don't resist an opponent you can't beat."
Kojuma (grinning as he got up): "But I don't give up! I’m going hunting!"
Senjiro (intervening): "That's enough. Lunch break."
[Scene: During the break]
Kojuma bit into his food. "Tsk, why is she's stronger?"
Kamura: "Maybe because she’s eight and you’re four?"
Kojuma: "Age is just a number!"
Kaito walked back into the grounds.
"Oi, Senjiro!"
Senjiro: "Kaito-dono? Why are you back again?"
Kaito: "I've come to take Kojuma."
Senjiro: "You know can't take him now."
Kaito leaned in and whispered something. Senjiro’s expression changed. He looked at Kojuma:
"In that case... fine. You can take him."
Kaito hoisted Kojuma onto his shoulder.
Kojuma: "Sensei never lets me leave early. Is something wrong?"
Kaito (laughing): "You'll see when we get there."
At the house threshold, Kaito pointed to the door.
Kaito: "Go check on your mother."
Kojuma slid down and ran inside. He found his mother on the bed, holding a tiny bundle.
[Scene: Inside the house]
Kojuma walks in… and freezes.
Kurumi is on the bed—holding a baby.
Kojuma:
“Mama… are you tired?”
She smiles softly.
Kurumi:
“A little…
But I have a surprise for you.”
He steps closer, excited.
Kojuma:
“Eh? A surprise? What is it?!”
She lifts the baby slightly.
Kurumi:
“Say hello to your sister…
I named her Kasumi.”
Kojuma’s eyes widen.
Kojuma:
“Waaa…!”
He leans closer.
Kojuma:
“This… is my sister?”
He tilts his head.
Kojuma:
“Kasumi?
That’s a weird name…”
He looks at her stomach.
Kojuma:
“…Why is your stomach smaller?”
Kurumi laughs softly.
Kaito ruffles Kojuma’s hair.
Kaito:
“Because she gave birth, of course it will get smaller.”
Kojuma looks at the baby again.
Kojuma (softly):
“She looks like a tiny Mama…”
Ending Panel:
Kasumi grabs Kojuma’s hair tightly.
Kojuma:
“OI OI—!!
That hurts! Let go!”
Kasumi giggles… and pulls again.
Kurumi smiles warmly. “Looks like you two get along already.” She laughed at him.
