"ARGGHHH! ARGHHHH!"

Screams of pain echoed through the hallway. The once quiet mansion of the Yotsuba has now turned into a screaming attraction. If anyone foreign to the household visited, they would believe that someone was getting murdered. However, instead of taking a life, the Yotsuba was delivering a life today.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

This was no slaughter house, but an operation room built in the Yotsuba main house. In order to keep their activities a secret, the Yotsuba employed dozens of doctors and spent millions to build a medical facility superior to any hospital in existence. Being treated in a government facility would draw too much attention to the actions of the Yotusba. Moreover, if what happened in this room today was revealed to the public, the world will undoubtedly focus their attention on the Yotusba.

"No… AHHHHHHHHH!"

The screams originated from one person. The woman lying on the operation bed tended by 3 doctors and 12 nurses. One might wonder why there was a need for so many personnel next to her. But, she was no ordinary woman. All eyes were on her. Yotsuba Miya, the sister of the head. And today, she was giving birth to her first child.

"Check her blood pressure!"

"Administer painkillers!"

"Keep an eye on the baby's heart rate!"

Wallows of orders flew around and the room was no different than a stock broker's room on Black Tuesday. Everyone was frantic and panicking. Even though Miya was in her early 30s and was in an optimal condition for delivery, it was her first childbirth. The whole room could only pray nothing happens. Furthermore, the child being delivered was no mere child. He had the potential to become the heir apparent of the Yotsuba.

"Now Miya-sama, push!"

"Ummmmmm…"

Miya was trying her best to bring her child safe and sound to the world. Nine months ago when she found out she was pregnant, she became elated. Not because she was bearing a child of someone she loved but because the child she bore was going to become big. She could feel it. Miya wanted a child that she could love unconditionally and be filial to her. Finally, her wish was going to come true. She was going to raise her child to become the dragon of the Yotsuba.

"AHHHHHH!"

As the pain overcame her senses, she reflected back to the time she heard the child she bore was a son. Her first child was a son! Imagine her happiness. She knew that he would definitely become the head of the Yotsuba. It was then she decided on his name.

"ARGGHHHHH!"

The final leg of the race has been run. Miya's son was born. Nurses came to carry him away from the bloodied bed and baptized him in sanitary water. Wiping off all the blood, the nurse carried him to his mother.

Miya touched her son for the very first time. As he lay down next to her drained face, the child gave a cute smile.

Nothing could make her happier now. Miya looked at her son and gave a welcoming sentence.

"Welcome to this world, Tatsuya. (達也, 'to become the dragon')."

-.-

Hi! It's me again! As some of you may know I just finished writing the 3 year gap and I thank you for all the support I have gotten. Well so after writing on what happened after Okinawa, I was thinking maybe I should write about the 12 years before Okinawa. So I should give you guys a rundown on what is going to happen in 'Beginnings.' Firstly, it would be Tatsuya and Miyuki's birth. Also since Tatsuya still has his emotions intact, I will attempt to make him look more vulnerable and weak to discrimination, abuse etc. Next it would be the circumstances leading to the Artificial Magician project when he was 7 years old. If you don't know what it is I suggest reading the LN first lol. Lastly will be is training in the main house until Okinawa. Since there is not much information on it all I can do is supplement my own imagination so do correct me if my words don't fit the canon. Oh yes, there will be very little Miyuki here. I want to write this story according to Tatsuya's point of view and if I'm not wrong, Miyuki seldom interacted with him. Also do write a review! I love reading them be it good or bad! So please give me a penny of your thoughts!
