Yukio translates to- gets what he wants, God will nourish.

Chapter twenty nine:

The remaining band of seven members lived up at the castle and Bankotsu took his place as king, intending to one day pass the throne to his son, once he became of age.

Jakotsu was made head of Bankotsu’s army, and lived happily helping to whip new soldiers into shape.

Bankotsu remained the ‘leader’ and always rode with his men into battle keeping the lands safe and ensuring their people were provided for.

Suikotsu became the region’s most respected doctor and lived happily with his ‘brothers’ tending to his King and Queen personally. In his free time, he went with the kids to gather herbs for his medicines.

Genkotsu was the model used to help design newer weapons and tanks for the royal army and was charged with leading the tanks into battle, when needed. In his free time, he continued watching butterflies float in the air.

Once they had gotten to know him a bit, Kyokotsu was loved instead of feared by all of the children and the villagers. He found that he liked being accepted and enjoyed being able to play like a big kid.

Airikotsu gave birth to strong nine pound baby boy, whom they named Yukio. He grew up training under the strict eye of his powerful father and inherited his father’s inhuman strength, as well as his mother’s fierce and passionate temper. He also had his father’s tanned complexion, his mother’s soft eyes, and black silky hair, sprinkled with brown looking like it was covered with a thin layer of dry dirt, whenever it caught the sunlight just right. He chose to wear it in a braid much like his honorable father.

Over the years Bankotsu and Airi had another son and two daughters. The girls looked much like their mother, but had their father’s temper and eyes. The youngest son favored more of his mother’s complexion with his father’s fierce temper.

Each of the kids was trained by their parents as warriors, and as royalty. Each child was showered with love and grew to respect and admire their parents. The younger three were groomed to serve their eldest brother should the need arise, but none resented the fact that Yukio would one day take the throne.

--

When he became of age, Yukio took a wife and rose to the throne, as his father and mother stepped down, to spend the rest of their lives together in peace and happiness.

His parent’s moved into a quite little cabin on the back of the lands behind the castle were there would be no more fighting and spent the remainder of their days living every day to the fullest,, being deeply in love with one another.

Yukio went on the rule much as his father did, leading his men, with his siblings by his side, into battle. Eventually the wars in the territory died down, as the word spread that the Shinano region was filled with a plethora of formidable warriors who could easily defeat a nation’s army.

Finally peace reigned throughout the lands of the Shinano region and the surrounding regions, began to take notice of the power growing in their neighbors.

Each generation grew strong, with more fearsome warriors, who strangely kept good hearts, despite being warriors, and always battled with honor.

Many generations after Bankotsu and Airi’s deaths from old age, peace finally spread throughout all of Japan and the Feudal times, finally came to an end, ushering in a new era for the people of the lands, who no longer fought amongst themselves, and turned their attentions to maintaining the peace of their lands.

A/N: Sadly in the Feudal days, the first born male was recognized as the ‘true heir’ and usually inherited everything. I know I didn’t mention much about Yukio’s siblings or wife, but compared to what Yukio had spearheaded into bringing peace to the land, they were pretty much just his siblings and helpers.

Although it isn’t fair to them, the ‘history books’ would have only acknowledged them as I did. I was trying to keep things true to for of the time where these events would have taken place.

A/N 2: Short I know, but there it is, the final piece of ‘Unexpected Encounters’ I’d like to thank all of my readers, and everyone who took the time to review. Without you {my readers} none of this would be as rewarding as it has been.

I hope that everyone enjoyed this story, and will continue enjoying the rest of my stories. XD

Until next time,

Ja ne.
