Rebirth

Calanthe Potter-Black had done her job as the chosen one, and she'd done it well, before dying in her sleep a week away from her four hundred and ninety-ninth birthday. So could someone please explain to her why she was waking back up as a baby? Or why there's a gun pointed at her? And what's with the disembodied male voice getting past her Occlumency?

AN: I couldn't find any direct female equivalent to the name Tatsuya (達 [tatsu] meaning "achieve" combined with 也 [ya] meaning "to be") online, so since I wasn't flipping Calanthe's gender to male to align to canon, I went with the name Toshiko (敏 [toshi] meaning "quick, clever, sharp" and 子 [ko] meaning "child") since Tatsuya basically means “achieving later” or something, aspiring to new heights when your an adult in other words, I figured a mention of intelligence combined with being a child, since it's generally expected that children will grow into something bigger, was a suitable replacement. Also, given that it Miyuki was always intended to marry Tatsuya as a way of shackling him to the Yotsuba, she has to be gender swapped as well, but that name is easier, since while Miyuki is a feminine name, that's entirely due to the “Mi” at the beginning which means beautiful. Just Yuki is a gender neutral name from what I saw online. So short version of name changes: Shiba Tatsuya into Shiba Toshiko, Shiba Miyuki into Shiba Yuki.With that out of the way, I can't help but find it a little funny that Muse Calanthe was like: Oh? Brand new world? Let me start breaking everything immediately. Also, I'm warning you all now, if you're a Tatsuya/Miyuki shipper, neither Misaki nor Hei were reborn as a version of Miyuki, so that ship, whatever it's called (Shibacest?), is not happening in this fic.Also, fair warning, there is a bit of an info dump as Calanthe finds her footing and familiarizes herself with this world, and experiments a little.Huge shout out to Merlenyn for beta reading this!
