    Summary

    Jiyuu (自由): Meaning freedom or liberty, representing the state of being free from constraints or restrictions.

    What if Akemi was married off to the new lord of Sendai (Mizu unknown to her) who had taken up that offer by Heiji at the pass and ended up engaged to Akemi to both keep up appearances and also in guilt of her actions against her, yet still hellbent on revenge all the while.

    ///

    In the garden Akemi's gaze lingers on the pair of cranes, watching as their heads bow together in greeting. The sight should be warming, an auspicious sighting particularly on a wedding day and yet Akemi finds herself suddenly rueful. Ash from the shrine lingers on her wedding kimono, the scent overpowering even now as they kneel for the banquet for their honour.

 Something shy of conflict had flickered across her betrothed face as they had recited the marriage rites. A haunted fear to his eye when he’d locked eyes with her briefly, those amber glasses on his face even now.

 For a man who had no doubt slaughtered many men, Akemi can’t help but ponder why a marriage ceremony would be the thing that weakened him.

    Summary

    I was supposed to be loyal to my husband.
    So why was I dreaming of a killer’s hands on my skin?
    --
    This fic is supposed to take place right after the finale of Blue Eye Samurai, but before Mizu leaves Japan.
    It’s from Akemi’s point of view, so I’ll be using he/him pronouns for Mizu, at least in the beginning.
    It’s a work in progress.
