Well, listen.

Don't make anything until we've figured out what we're doing. Frankly, seeing the direction this is heading, I've considered completely removing Sōka from Keshin's life. I know that literally destroys her character, but I'm having trouble fitting all this into his story for a few reasons.


 * Keshin doesn't just have kids with people and leave: he's a relatively nice guy.


 * He can't stay too long in Akuzura, he has a time limit to save Kusari.

So, lemme give you Keshin's ideal timeline:

, making him her alpha
 * Birth
 * Genin
 * Loses squad and develops Nindo
 * Chunin Exams
 * Defeats Kusari's sensei
 * Is taken by Daitengu after he kills someone for the first time
 * Meets back up with Kusari
 * Works under Kowaremashita
 * Kills Kowaremashita
 * Goes into stasis, angering/saddening Kusari, who leaves him and gets captured by Assei-sha
 * Awakens, daughter dies

This is where things happen with Sōka...I have a few routes in mind; let me know what you think.


 * Right before the Akuzura attack she births twins.
 * During the attack, she dies and Keshin takes them.
 * Keshin leaves them with Daitengu, who is excellent with kids, mind you. Consider him the grandpa.
 * Keshin becomes Tamagui and rescues Kusari.
 * Keshin and Kusari travel while Daitengu rears the children. All of them settle in the Amanojaku Village and from there the kids train under Keshin, Daitengu, and maybe Kusari.

After that, you can do your Mythical Beasts shizz.

Or...

What you said where they fight...though, this route seems better and more accurate for both of the characters. Keshin wouldn't flat-out leave Sōka, but to work for Nakuka, something has to happen. And Sōka hating Keshin is highly...out of personality. You said that she obsesses over him; he gave her something when she had nothing. To her, he's her everything and he literally defines her character. No Keshin, no Sōka.

I need a clear answer, don't be long-winded. When you are, you muddle up your phrases and it's really hard to understand.

Also, if you want her to survive the Akuzura attack, I can have Kumori Mayonaka kill her with the Tasogare organization.
