Finding the Light - Chapter 10
Fandom: Ikemen Sengoku
Pairing: Mitsuhide X OC ( Evelyn)
Genre: Fluff
TW : None in this chapter
The sun filtered in, and Mitsuhide blinked, opening his eyes to a fresh new day. His head was pounding, and he lifted his hand to rub his head. When he saw Evelyn next to him in bed, with her bare back exposed. He had forgotten what they had done, and seeing her bare skin reminded him. Had he really done it for her? Or did he make an excuse? He was starting to second-guess himself. She turned in her sleep, and Mitsuhide noticed the bite mark on her neck. He blushed, feeling ashamed for losing himself in her. He moved her hair to the side and started tracing her collarbones.
Evelyn opened her eyes slightly, seeing Mitsuhide next to her. He smiled, âGood morning, little mouse.â When her vision adjusted, she saw his bare chest and realized she was naked. Everything suddenly came back to her. âMorning,â She said, feeling embarrassed. âHow are you feeling?â Mitsuhide asked, âFine,â he cocked an eyebrow looking at her in surprise. âReally? You drank a lot, âshe laughed, âYeah, Iâm fine.â She looked over at him. âYou donât look like you feel well. Does my poor, big, bad warlord have a hangover?â She giggled. It was music to his ears, even at his expense.  He pushed her away. âLeave me alone.â She laughed again. Then looked at her solemnly, and the air in the room shifted. âAside from the alcohol, how are you? I didnât hurt you?â She blushed at the thought of their actions the night before but shook her head and sat up, holding the blanket over her chest.
She ran her fingers through his soft hair. âNo, you were very gentle. Thank you, Mitsuhide, for always caring for me.â His eyes met hers, and he took her hand, kissing the top. âOf course, little mouse. I will always be here when you need me.â She smiled awkwardly. Evelyn got up, taking the throw blanket from the bed, leaving Mitsuhide covered with just the bedspread. He snickered at her modesty. She looked for the house robe she had in his room. When she found it, she slipped it on and walked towards the door. âwhere are you going?â She smiled. âStay here, Iâll be right back.â She seemed to be in a good mood as she scurried off.Â
About twenty minutes later, she brought some tea and motioned for him to sit up. âDrink this. Ieyasu showed me, It helps with hangovers.â He sat up, blowing on the tea before taking a sip. âYou and Ieyasu seem close. You should pursue him.â She laughed, âI donât think so. Heâs just a close friend. I told you Iâm not interested in love or relationships.â He sighed. âYou will be when youâre ready.â She looked down. âNot likely.â he set the tea down. And she pushed him down. âGo back to sleep, mister.â He gave her a stern look.
âI have work to do, and we need to eat.â She gave him an irritated look. âMitsuhide work can wait until youâre feeling better. âHe glared at her. âEv-âShe put her finger over his lips to silence him. âLet me take care of you for once. Youâve taken care of me all this time.â He laughed, âIf this is how youâre going to be after sex, maybe weâll do it every night.â She hit him on the shoulder. âThat was a one time thing, thatâs not happening again.â He sighed, âI appreciate you trying to be helpful, but Iâm taking care of you, which entails getting you to eat.â She bounced up. âIâll get breakfast; weâll eat it here.âÂ
 A little while later, she entered the room and set down the food at the table they were drinking at last night. She began clearing the mess from the table so they could eat. He started getting up, and she noticed his shoulders and the nail-shaped scabs. He looked at her face. âWhat is it?â She blushed and he was confused, âYouâre shoulders.â He went over to the mirror, still naked. She watched his muscles flex as he walked. He saw the scabs. She turned red and adverted her eyes, so she wasnât oogling him. âDonât feel bad; thereâs a bite mark on your neck.â She dashed over to the mirror and moved her hair. âMitsuhide! Why, in such an obvious place, at least you can cover yours up, and even if you couldnât, youâre a man, no one would say anything.âÂ
He looked over at her. âItâs not that bad. Your hair covers it up.â He said as he moved her hair over her shoulders. He reached for his robe, slipping it on. âIâm glad youâre feeling better today. Itâs nice to see you in a good mood.â He walked over to where she had set the food down. She followed him sitting at the little round table. âThank you for being patient and gentle with me last night.â Mitsuhide cupped her cheek. âyouâre welcome.â She looked into his eyes. âYou donât get it. I think I would have lived my life without ever having sex again if it werenât for last night.â His thumb rubbed across her cheek.Â
âI care about you, little mouse, and want to help you.â He looked at the food and felt a little frustrated. He had an assortment of foods, all nutritious and good for the body, and she had soup. âEvelyn.â She knew exactly what that tone of voice was and why he was saying her name like that. âI was able to eat soup yesterday; I thought it was a good place to start.â He sighed, âI suppose youâre right.â  While Mitsuhide ate he watched Evelyn which had become something of a habit. âIf youâre going to only eat soup, we need to add more nutrients to it. Do you know how scared I was of breaking you last night?â She took a deep breath, âOkay,â He finished chewing, âAre you feeling alright? All youâre going to say is âokayâ you arenât going to argue?â She licked her lips. âIâm aware that I need to eat more. I know Iâm too thin. I want to talk with my friends without seeing the worry on their faces. Iâm going to try harder.â He put his hand on top of hers. âThatâs good to hear.âÂ
She guided him back to bed as soon as they were done eating. âGo back to bed to get rid of that hangover. Then you can work.â She closed the drapes so that just a tiny amount of light filtered in so she could work on her sewing. Mitsuhide fell into a deep sleep as she sewed quietly.Â
 A couple of hours later, Mitsuhide opened his eyes to see her cutting and measuring with a needle in her mouth. An involuntary smile crossed his lips as he watched her do her passion. How cute she looked with her hair done up in a clip. He saw the bite mark he had caused, and his heart felt light.
She looked over to Mitsuhide, catching him staring at her. âMitsuhide, how long have you been awake?âÂ
âI just now woke up.â She put her things down. âDo you feel better?â He hummed, âMmm..yes.âÂ
âIâm sorry I got you so drunk.â She said, feeling guilty. He laughed, âI think you put some extra alcohol in there; Iâm not known to be a lightweight.â She stood up to open the drapes, âIâm just glad youâre feeling better.â He stood up. âI have work to do. Why donât you go outside? This is the first time youâve been up before midday.â She looked outside, âI probably could use a break, but I want a bath firstâ the edge of Mitsuhideâs lip turned up in a small smile. âWell, take a nice long bath, then go on a walk.â
As she entered the water in the bathing room she felt the tension in her body release in the hot water. She was still sore from last night, but she was sure that was normal after everything she went through. Images of her and Mitsuhide making love floated through her head. She dunked her head in the water to try to stop thinking about it. It was a one time occurrence. She didnât want that kind of relationship with Mitsuhide. She had come to rely on him and didnât want this to ruin everything.Â
After her bath, she walked around a secluded part of the garden, sitting on a large decorative rock. She looked into the distance. As she felt the sun beating on her skin. Chimaki nuzzled her nose against Evelynâs leg, and she looked down. âChimaki, what have you been up to? It seems like ages since Iâve seen you.â She sighed as she picked up the white fox, âI suppose thatâs my fault. Iâm sorry I havenât come to visit. Iâve been in my head too much. Chimaki licked Evelynâs cheek, and she giggled. She got up and put Chimaki down. âIâm going to the field out there; you can come if you want.â Chimaki trotted next to Evelynâs feet.
 Evelyn sat down against a large tree overlooking the expanse of the field with wildflowers spouted all around. Chimaki curled up in her lap, and Evelyn stroked her soft fur. She formed a rare smile then looked into the distance pensively. âI sometimes wonder if I should go home; what do you think, Chimaki? Should I stay here or leave? She looked down at the slumbering fox. âYeah I donât know either, all I know is itâs time to start healing and to move forward.âÂ
Mitsuhide had gotten so focused on his work that he didnât realize how dark it had gotten. He hadnât seen Evelyn for a while. He took a lantern with him as he went to look for her. Finally, he found her sitting against the tree with Chimaki. He sat next to her, setting the lantern down. âWhat are you doing?â She didnât look at him but simply stared into the distance and spoke softly. âThe sky never looks like this where Iâm from. Itâs beautiful.â He nodded, âIt is, come itâs getting cold.â She blinked, taking herself out of her daze. She picked up Kimichi bringing her with her as they walked quietly to the manor.

Ikesen Boys React to a Tattooed MC pt 4
Thank you again to @otomedad for this fantastic idea ^_^ This one has Mitsuhide, Keiji, and Ieyasu! Approx. 2600 words of tattoo and MC appreciation!
Mitsuhide
Mitsuhideâs smile was infuriating. You wipe the sweat from your forehead and stretch your aching muscles. After five hours of practice, you were tired, your hair was a tangled mess, and your clothes looked even worse. And Akechi was just standing there, grinning, not a single hair out of place. Â
âThat was much better, little mouse. Almost passable.â His grin widens. âIn another week or two, you might be able to fend off, say, a small rabbit? Perhaps a squirrel?â
You throw a sweat-damp rag at him, which he dodges easily.Â
Mitsuhideâs eyebrows arch. âWhatâs this? Another match? I could never deny my little one.âÂ
âW-wai-ahhhh!â You hold up a hand to stop him, only for him to grab your hand and send you up and over his shoulder. He holds you there, your head flopping against his upper back, legs kicking uselessly in the air.
âHmm. I think youâve lost this round. You donât seem to be able to get down.â
You seriously consider biting him, but thereâs no easy spot to clamp down on. Besides, heâd probably just -Â
âIf you bite me, I will return the favor.â You hear the laughter in his voice, and feel his breath on your leg.
âPut me down!âÂ
Mitsuhide does laugh then, a low, wicked chuckle that sends feelings skittering through your frayed nerve endings. âI donât think I want to, though. Youâll have to convince me.â
You struggle some more, trying to grab hold of him so you can leverage your grip to wriggle out of his. Itâs impossible not to be aware of the flex of his muscle, covered by thin linen. The way he holds you, gentle, but implacable. Your pulse is racing and your face is red from more than exertion. Iâm just embarrassed, you think, knowing thatâs not quite true.Â
With some effort, you manage to grasp his clothes firmly enough to pull yourself down, but you feel the loose folds of your hakama slide away from your hips as you do. You freeze, held by the terrible image of Mitsuhide carrying a pantless you, your rear in the air, legs kicking.Â
âIt seems my little mouse has only further ensnared herself.â  Â
The low, smooth tone of his voice sends a little shiver over the newly bare skin of your hip, and you fancy that you can feel his hair tickling that sensitive spot. âYou - I - this - this is your fault!â Itâs hard to think, and you wonder if heâs distracting you on purpose. Teasing, as always.
Mitsuhide chuckles, the laugh more something you can feel than hear. âBut however will you escape? Perhaps you could persuade -â He pauses, holding very still.
âUmmm. Pretty please? Put me down?â You stop squirming, hopeful this means heâs done with his current game.
Instead, he shifts his grip on you, and you feel a cool, calloused finger drag against your hip.Â
The unexpected touch, featherlight, sends a jolt of heat through you, and you bite back a pleased sigh. There is no way youâre letting Akechi get to you. Nope. No. You refuse to give him the satisfaction of knowing his taunting touch got to you this time. âMitsuhide -â
âYou have been marked. What is this, my naughty little mouse?âÂ
For a moment, you have no idea what he means and then you realize. He must have glimpsed your tattoo. Your face, already hot, grows hotter still. This was something you hoped to keep to yourself. Especially given . . .
You feel his fingers catch the waist of your hakama and pull it a little further down. âWait! Stop!â
Mitsuhide pauses, though now you can feel the cool air and his warm breath teasing your low hip. âThis is no irezumi kei.â His voice has changed, the teasing replaced by strained curiosity.
âI told you Iâm from the future. People have all kinds of tattoos there.â You hope he hasnât realized what the design is. Please, please, you think, if there is any goodness in the world, he wonât see enough to -
âLittle one. This is a -â His voice is so low you donât catch the end of his sentence.Â
You let out a breath, realizing thereâs no escaping it now. âLook. I got that a long time ago. It was supposed to be the first part of a full leg sleeve.â
He sets you down gently, his hands lingering at your sides. His eyes are molten gold, and you find it hard to look away. âMay I see it?â
 It is tempting to tell him no. To return some of the frustration you feel with his obtuse answers, his hot and cold behavior. But you find that you want to show him. Afterall, who else would appreciate this particular design more? You carefully tug your hakama down to display your hip and upper thigh. There, etched in bright colors is a nine-tail fox. The kitsune leaps from cloud a cloud toward a flower that looks like a cloud - or perhaps itâs a cloud that looks like a flower - and below that, the first hint of a river that was meant to tie the leg sleeve together.Â
Mitsuhideâs smile widens and he kneels to get a closer look.Â
âGo ahead,â you sigh. âSay what youâre going to say.â
His breath is warm against your skin as he leans close, his hand not quite touching. He stares into the soulful eyes of the inked kitsune, one fox to another, as if it might hold answers for him. When he looks up at you, your heart stutters in your chest. âYou somehow manage to surprise me still, little one.âÂ
You arenât sure what to say, and honestly, you feel as if you can barely breathe much less speak. Itâs not just Mitsuhideâs closeness, or even your vulnerability in this position. It is the expression that haunts his eyes, a flicker of something hopeful, something raw beneath his usual smiling mask.Â
âWhy did you choose this? This . . . unworthy trickster?â His voice is almost inaudible, as if he too is having trouble breathing.
âUnworthy?â Your eyes go wide. âKitsune are wise. Tricksters, yeah, but that just means they didnât lose their sense of humor. They are noble and cunning and they pursue knowledge, even when itâs forbidden, and - and I wanted to be all those things too.â You fall silent, wondering why his comment upset you so much.
Mitsuhide stares at you, his brows arched high, his lips parted. Then he laughs, a paper thin, breathy sound that rises to a low chuckle. âTruly you are something . . . else.â He stands gracefully, his gaze still on your face.
âYou too,â you mutter and turn away, busying your hands with fixing your clothes. It isnât fair how he always tangles your feelings, you think. Looking at you like that, his voice, his eyes, his touch.
âYour tattoo is lovely. As lovely as you are.â He brushes a hand down your arm, a tender gesture.Â
You freeze, butterflies filling your chest. His compliment means so much to you, but you donât know what to say in return. Your throat feels parched and tight. After a shaky breath, you look up, determined to ask him why he teases you so, but he is already moving away, his back to you, the moment gone. Â
Keiji
âSometimes I donât know why I bother,â you murmur to yourself. The subject and cause of your annoyance crouches a few steps away, all but ignoring you, his gaze turned toward the street just beyond the mouth of this narrow alley. You think you might prefer his silence to his commentary.Â
He turns his head slightly to regard you, and you have the uncanny sense that he heard your whispered complaint. Chagrined, you offer him an apologetic smile, which earns you an eyeroll and a smirk.Â
You do your best to ignore his reaction, but you canât help the flush of embarrassment in your cheeks, or the way his regard makes your pulse pound.
A few short minutes later, he gestures you forward as he steps out into the clear street ahead. You follow, a nervous energy in your steps. In fact, you are so nervous that your feet tangle mid-step.Â
Keiji catches you before you hit the ground, his warm arms pulling you up in an unexpected embrace. âCareful,â he admonishes you sharply, but you see the genuine concern in his gaze.
âThanks.â You pull away, self conscious and even more embarrassed now. At this rate, Keiji will never ask you along to anymore of his clandestine missions. You try not to meet his gaze again as you straighten your clothes.
He reaches out, grabbing your hand before you manage to tug your sleeve back into place. âIs that - are you - princess . . .â The sharpness in his tone melts into surprise as he pulls your sleeve back up.Â
âEhehe, umm . . . itâs a tattoo?â The inked lines of three noh masks stare back at the two of you. âI did costuming for theater and I, I liked these designs.â You end on a defiant note, practically daring Keiji to say something snarky.
Surprisingly, he says nothing, just strokes your marked skin with the rough pad of his thumb. The touch sends a pleasant shiver through you, which you hope he doesnât notice.Â
âSo . . . can I have my arm back,â you venture after a few awkward moments.Â
Keiji nods, but doesnât let go of you. âDo you know what these mean?â His voice sounds distant, soft and surprisingly tender.Â
You nod. âI . . . yes.â Your gaze follows his thumb to the three faces. I got ZĆ because I feel like she represents the best in women. Divinity and beauty. Wisdom. And then, Namanari because hell hath no fury, right? Holding onto anger makes me a demon. So sheâs kind of a warning for me to let it go, but also, like, a reminder that itâs ok to be angry too.â
âAnd RĆjo?â He looks up, his warm amber eyes meeting yours.Â
âTo remind me that getting older is ok too.â You shrug uncomfortably, feeling oddly exposed by the confession.Â
Keiji studies you, tension in his shoulders and jaw. âItâs nice. Your tattoo.â
Your eyes widen a little at the compliment. âYou know you donât have to fake things around me,â you tell him, half hoping he means it and half sure he doesnât.
âI said I like it, ok? Itâs pretty.â He frowns, a little crease forming between his eyebrows.
For some reason, the all too familiar expression of disapproval combined with the kind words sends little butterflies spinning through your tummy, and makes your heart do a funny little flip in your chest. He has no right to look so cute, you think. Or to say such nice things while his thumb makes little circles on the inner side of your arm. âTh-thanks.â
One eyebrow lifts slightly along with the corners of his lips. âYouâre blushing.â
You jerk your arm away, trying to get ahold of your galloping heart. âI am not!âÂ
He laughs, a sound free of nega-Keijiâs bitterness, one full of a sudden, intoxicating joy.Â
This does nothing to help you rein in your reaction, but you find yourself joining in the laughter with him. âCome on, letâs just go meet your contacts,â you say through your giggles.Â
âYeah. Thatâs right.â He smiles and you feel another flush of heat in your cheeks. One that only grows as he reaches for your hand.
Ieyasu
âHold still.â Ieyasuâs crisp tone brooks no disobedience.Â
You stop squirming and take a deep breath. âSorry,â you mumble. âIt just hurts.â
A faint smile curls the edges of his mouth. âYes, well, tumbling down a gravel path usually does. You should be more careful. At this rate, Iâll have to accompany you everywhere just to ensure you donât hurt yourself.â
You feel a goofy happiness at the gentle expression on his face as he says it, though his tone stays sharp. âIâm not that clumsy,â you argue. âI donât need babysitting.âÂ
âThe evidence leaves that very much in doubt.â Ieyasu tugs your kimono aside, revealing your hip and thigh. There is an angry red patch of skin where the gravel scraped you badly, and his eyes flick over the wound with concern. Then his gaze travels up and you notice his brows rise.Â
âWhat? What is it?â You start to move again and stop as he rests a hand on you.Â
Ieyasu frowns, his fingertip tapping just above your injury. âYou have a mark. Like a painting but -â He drags his finger over the ink of your tattoo.Â
âOh, that.â You laugh self-consciously. You hadnât been thinking about the tattoo at all - especially not after your spectacularly embarrassing accident that morning. Tripping over a rock and sliding halfway down a gravel and sand path while out walking with Hideyoshi. And to make matters worse, heâd insisted on carrying you to see Ieyasu for treatment. Thankfully, he hadnât stayed. You could easily imagine his disapproving expression. Probably more so than the face Ieyasu was making now.Â
âYes. That.â He leaned closer to your leg, studying the colorful image there. âIt looks like an octopus. Holding a flower?â Ieyasuâs voice has lost some itâs usual coldness, thawing to an unexpected warmth with curiosity.
You feel another little flutter in your chest and tell yourself to calm down. âItâs supposed to be Akkorokamui holding an anemone. I got it after my parents passed away.â The memory of your intense grief is enough to make you pause. Itâs been so many years since you lost them, but it still hurts. A dull, distant ache you donât notice most of the time. Only on those lonely, long nights when there is nothing to distract you.Â
Ieyasu looks up, concern in his wide green eyes. âYou donât need to tell me if itâs too much.â
âNo, itâs ok. I can talk about it. That was several years ago and I - Iâm alright now.â You give him what you hope is a reassuring smile. âI read that the octopus was a symbol for adaptability. And that Akkorokamui meant healing and wisdom. So . . . I got it as a tattoo, so I would never forget I can handle everything life throws my way. That I will always heal, in time.â
His warm palm strokes your thigh, a gentle touch meant to be calming. The effect on you is less than, sending your pulse skyrocketing. âI see.â He continues the tender caress, though his brows furrow. âBut why is it holding a flower?â
âFragility and strength. Because Iâm fragile but I want to be strong.â You take a breath, trying to calm your heart and settle the ache in your soul. Surprisingly, your grief already feels less, as if Ieyasuâs closeness has chased it away.
He nods, looking back down with his thoughtful expression. âI think itâs nice.âÂ
You canât miss the flush of red in his cheeks, or his sudden shyness as he pulls his hand away.Â
âToo bad such a pretty picture canât stop you from being a danger to yourself. But I donât think this will leave a scar on your lov- er, your skin.â Ieyasuâs coldness returns in full force, his eyes as hard as jade.
âDo you really think itâs pretty? I like it but -â
âOf course it is,â he snaps back, already pulling out a tincture to clean your wound.
You bite your lip at the sting, eyes watering a little.Â
Ieyasu sighs, his shoulders losing some of their tension. âSorry. I should have warned you. This will hurt a little.â
âItâs fine. Iâm just glad you like me - ah - my tattoo.âÂ
His eyes widen at your slip in speech, his mouth open. The red in his cheeks spreads to his ears, and something in his gaze wavers. âWell. Even I can admit when someone-thing- is pretty. Iâm not blind.â
You feel a giggle rising up and clamp down. Laughing now would not be a good thing. âThanks.â
âSure,â he mutters, turning away. You can still see the red tips of his ears.

And may I also request touches #2 with Mitsuhide? I love doting on that man so much!!
Thank you for this request - sorry it took me so long to get to đ„ș
Blue Christmas - Mitsuhide Akechi x Reader (ikemen Sengoku)
A/N: Day 4 of my Twelve Days of Christmas. Also part of my New Year, New Celebration follower celebration.
Pairing: Mitsuhide Akechi x Reader
Prompt: running fingers through hair
Word Count: 562
Tags: fluff
It was a cold and blustery day in December as you strolled through the streets of Azuchi. Your hands were filled with bags brimming with gifts for all your friends, including an extra special one for Mitsuhide -- a small porcelain mouse.Â
Christmas was one of your favorite holidays â the lights and the trees and the family dinner of fried chicken were just some of the things that made this holiday so special to you. You had thought this year would be bittersweet, as it was your first away from home, but it had been anything but so far. Christmas might not have come to Japan yet, but there was nothing stopping you from bringing the spirit of the holidays here.
 You had planned to sneak out that afternoon under the ruse of needing to go to the markets in search of new fabric â it was the perfect excuse to go shopping alone to get everyoneâs gifts.Â
And then you ran into Mitsuhide.
âWhereâs this little mouse running off to this early?â
Close. So close to freedom.Â
After you informed him that you were going to the market to pick up some new fabrics, you were shocked when he asked if he could join you. Of course you said yes â who would say no to their boyfriend â but now you were in the unenviable position of trying to evade the kitsune somewhere in the market as you purchased the presents.
As it turned out, Mitsuhide was meeting someone in the markets, so it was easy for you to shop in secret. After spending an inordinate amount of time perusing various shops to find the perfect gifts â down to Nobunagaâs favorite konpeito, sorry Hideyoshi â it was finally time to return home to the castle.Â
One moment you were hurrying through the streets of the markets in Azuchi, and the next, you were lying flat on the ground. Cheeks warm with embarrassment, you sighed, your bags lying scattered on the ground around you. Your only saving grace was that no one you knew witnessed your fall.
Or so you thought.
Your stomach twisted in knots as you looked up into the crowd and spotted a familiar head of silver-white hair, suppressing a groan as he approached.
âLittle mouse,â he said, offering you his hand in assistance. You slipped your hand in his; he easily pulled you up to a standing position. His eyes flickered over your figure, assessing any injuries. He reached out a hand, tucking a stray lock of hair behind your ear. His hand lingered, his fingers grazing your still heated cheeks, his touch comforting.Â
âYou really do need to watch yourself,â he chided, his eyes fixed on a patch of ice on the ground. âIt certainly would have been a blue Christmas if you had hurt yourself.âÂ
You turned to him, your eyes wide with awe. How did he know about Christmas? You hadnât said a word about it as you were waiting until the 25th to surprise everyone. So who told him?
He gazed at you knowingly, his golden eyes twinkling like familiar Christmas lights. He huffed a small laugh, and as if he was reading your mind, he pulled you close to him in a warm embrace, his fingers running through your hair as he held your face close to his heart.
âLucky for you, I was here to help.â

Hi! đ€ Congratulations on 400 followersđ. I choose suitor as a dad from the fluff prompt list. Can I have Mitsuhide, Arthur and Clavis please?. I hope you have fun with this but no pressuređ©·
Thank you darling! I love this one and I hope you do too!
400 Follower Celebration
Fluff headcanon: Suitors as fathers
Suitors: ikesen Mitsuhide, ikevamp Arthur, and ikepri Clavis
Only warning, you may get cavities from how sweet this is.
Mitsuhide
Heâd never given much thought to becoming a father. Bringing a little one into this war torn world, adding another person who could be at risk of being pulled into his darkness? It didnât seem right to put a child through that. And yet once he met youâŠand then when you told him you were pregnantâŠhe was scared, but oh so happy.
Once your little one arrived, Mitsuhide fell in love instantly. He vowed that he would make the world a safer place for the little one your love had created. He would always protect and cherish your child. As your child grew, he made sure that they never wanted for anything. Never saw the horrors and hardships he, himself, had experienced.Â
Though he makes sure your child doesnât have to experience the same things he had, he still teaches them all the necessary skills they will need to surviveâŠmuch like he had done with you when you first arrived. He is gentle yet firm while teaching your child all the important skills theyâll need to surviveâŠthough he does his best to make sure they never have to actually use these skills.
Arthur
With as much as he had played around, Arthur hadnât really pictured himself settled down with a family. But then when you came into his lifeâŠinto his heart he couldnât help but to want those things. After months of trying, you finally tell him the good news that youâre pregnant, Arthur is over the moon with joy.

Chapter 26 - Time Warped (Again). While Okatsu deals with the emotional fallout of recent events, Mozumi hosts a badly timed banquet, and Mitsunari consults another book.
Mitsunari x OC; Nobunaga x Mai
Previous Chapter
Logline - In order to protect a political alliance, Katusko and Mitsunari must pretend an engagement. But this âall businessâ arrangement is threatened by a coup against Nobunaga⊠and by feelings.
From the Military Notes of Ishida MitsunariâŠ
It is over. We succeeded in preventing Iekaneâs forces from killing Nobunaga. Mitsuhide patted my shoulder and told me I had performed beyond his expectations. Iâve received word that Nobunaga plans to reward me for my service.
I should feel happy⊠We have won⊠and Okatsu kissed me. Perhaps as one might kiss a brother, however, her lips touched mine, which is the definition of a kiss.
But Okatsu still plans to leave.
No, that is a mischaracterization of the situation â Okatsu never planned to stay. This is something I knew. This is something I wanted. I no longer want this, but she will be with her family, she will return to a future that is peaceful and safer than here. I will be happy for her.
ButâŠ
âŠwaitâŠ
⊠Where is every--?
When Aki aimed his gun at the minion, I shut my eyes, waiting for images of my past to flash before me, as is foretold in popular fiction.
That didnât happen.
Either I wasnât going to die⊠or popular fiction was wrong. I had a bad feeling it was going to be the latter unless I took steps to avoid that fate. I opened my eyes again, knowing that as soon as Aki killed the minion, I would have to use that moment of distraction to act â
THWUMP!
With more power than grace, Mitsunari hauled himself over the edge of the tower and knocked the minion off his feet. As a distraction, it worked wonderfully. I grabbed the war fan out of my kimono, jammed it into Iekaneâs stomach, then flipped him over my body.
He landed right where Aki was waiting for him.
While Mitsunari was easily dispatching the minion, I grabbed Hikosane and yanked him out of the path of any stray bullet, sword, or â
THUNK.
Unconscious minions.
The second the minion hit the floor, Mitsunari had Hikosane and I in his arms, as far away from the Iekane and Akiâs fight as possible. At the moment, there wasnât much else we could do except let Aki have his chance at Iekane. The two of them were evenly matched. Aki discarded the musket for his sword, and they battled across the perimeter of the tower, grimly trading hits, swords clanging against each other. Then Iekane backed up a step and pulled out a small rectangular object ⊠was that a cell phone?
âNo, you canât itâs too-â Akiâs words were lost as he leaped at Iekane -
For a moment, out of the corner of my eye, I saw an odd aura â almost like the ones I used to get before a migraine headache. It felt like reality was rippling around me, almost as if the horizon was a curtain that was about to lift. Iâve⊠seen this beforeâŠ
Then Akiâs forward motion took both of them over the railing of the tower.
Holy fu-
Mitsunari, Hikosane, and I rushed to the railing, and I was hoping against fate that I would find Aki clinging to the edge of the tower, and not in a broken heap on the ground below. Of course, heâd be clinging to the edge. This was Aki. Slippery. Wily. AcrobaticâŠ
He was not clinging to the tower.
Nor was he â or Iekane â in a heap on the ground below.
In absence of their fight, the birdsong seemed unnaturally loud. None of us said anything to break the quiet. The three of us just stared over the edge, looking at⊠nothing.
We werenât that far off the ground⊠a fall from the tower platform would have been survivable, although neither Aki nor Iekane would have had time to drag themselves into the woods, nor was there any evidence of two adult sized bodies having thudded to the ground.
It was as if they had never been there at all.
Finally, I pulled myself out of the shock, and rushed down the ladder and through the tower to the outside, barely aware that Mitsunari and Hikosane were right behind me.
Aki?
Dad?
Even in my head âdadâ didnât sound right. Aki was⊠justâŠÂ Aki.
And he was gone.
Vanished somewhere between the tower platform and the soft, springy ground â a ground that clearly had not been crushed by two men thudding onto it.
âWhere did they go?â Hikosane looked through the brush around the tower.
âUm, ninja tricks,â was all that I could come up with on the fly. I might have been able to formulate a better lie, but my attention was caught by something on the ground. A few stray leaves. Normally, exactly what youâd expect to find on the ground in the middle of a forest.
But they were late Autumn leaves. Maple leaves. Brown and gold where all the trees around us had yet to change color. Nor were any of them maple. I picked one up to examine it. Aside from being out of season, it was just a leaf.
âThere may have been men waiting down here to help Iekane escape.â Mitsunariâs explanation to Hikosane sounded more plausible than mine. He glanced at the leaf I had in my hand and nodded.
Aki and Iekane had somehow, without a wormhole, gone elsewhere in time.
âWeâre going to go after them, right?â Hikosane tugged on my arm. âIekane and your father.â
Mitsunari sent a startled look my way â I guess he had missed that part of our drama. âYes, of course I want to go after them, but now isnât the time. Iâll need supplies and more arrows,â and a time machine. âBesides, right now we need to get you back to Genba, where I am sure your own father will be watching for you.â
We walked quietly back toward the castle, still alert to any remaining stragglers from Iekaneâs crew that would be lurking, ready to jump scare our party. But Masamune and Ieyasu had been quite thorough in the mop-up detail. Masamuneâs reputation alone might have been enough to send many those mercenaries running.
I felt a light touch on my shoulder and looked over to see Mitsunari looking at me steadily. âHow are you?â
âA few bruises, thatâs all.â Hopefully not another black eye. âNothing that needs medical attention.â
âThat was not what I was asking.â He glanced back over his shoulder, to where the tower was still visible in the distance.
Yes. I had been aware that he was really asking, âare you ok after watching your father apparently die?â I had no answer to that. I wasnât used to delving through my psyche. My motherâs emotions had strangled Toshiie and I for years â Iâd never seen any reason to inflict mine on anyone else. Mitsunari was asking me to access the sort of things that were usually packed neatly away. I was afraid if I unpacked them, I would discover feelings that I couldnât shove back into the suitcase.
ButâŠ
Akiâs disappearance⊠no, I wouldnât think of him as dead. The man had always seemed indestructible. He wasnât though. Aki was human. He aged. He could die.
He could die.
He might already be dead.
I couldnât cry now.
Not here.
Mitsunari took my hands, and gently pulled me into an embrace. Then, with my face pressed against his chest, I cried, while Mitsunari simply held on, his fingers soft across my back.
We returned to the last thing I was in the mood for⊠another banquet. If Mozumi was humiliated that his wife had not only been cheating on him, but had been treasonously plotting to kill Nobunaga, he chose to pretend otherwise. Or maybe this was banquet was more along the lines of a plea to Nobunaga, the old, âhey, Iâm sorry a member of the household tried to kill you, but look on the bright side, you didnât die, so letâs partyâ distraction technique.
The mood, at least, was far more subdued than the engagement banquet, and the âletâs entertain Nobunagaâ banquets. Most of Mozumiâs vassals were still on the coast, and the ones who had stayed behind, like Susumu, had lost friends and comrades in the struggle. While they were grateful enough to be fed, they (naturally) werenât in a celebratory mood. Mozumi himself was seated only with Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, all three with their heads together in an intense discussion.
Mozumi didnât look like he was pleading for his life, but his attitude was far more deferential than it had been a couple weeks ago. I wondered if they were trying to decide Lady Yoneâs fate. Normally, she would have been sentenced to death for her treasonous acts, in fact, I was surprised that she had not already been executed. But Mai had pleaded for leniency, for the sake of her daughters, all of whom were under the age of ten. Last I heard, her punishment had yet to be determined.
On the other hand, the happiest person at the banquet was Shohime, who was in her element, alternately â or, well actually simultaneously â flirting with Keiji and Masamune. Both seemed happy enough to reciprocate. I wondered if they were getting her âbeautiful, perfect, but dumbâ persona, or if now that Hikosane was safe from Lady Yone, Shohime was finally going to be able to allow her true self to emerge.
One person who had escaped the celebration was Mitsuhide, who had claimed that the sight of his injuries would put people off their food. Personally, I thought that unlikely â these men and women had seen far too much danger and battle to care. More likely, he didnât feel social, or had decided to keep his presence on the down low.
Hikosane had also been able to escape the âbanquetâ and was supposedly in his room â but I had a feeling heâd snuck out to the stables to hang out with Mitsuhide.
I would have like to have been able to get out of the feasting too â it would have been nice to be able to find a time and space in which to process the events of the few days. But since I was supposed to be an Oda Princess, I couldnât suddenly claim to be mourning my father (long-dead in my fake backstory). Additionally, to avoid confusion, Hideyoshi had (reluctantly) decided to let the false engagement stand until we returned to Azuchi.
But⊠I wouldnât be returning to Azuchi.
Travel in this century being what it was, I intended to part ways with the Oda and Mitsunari as soon as we left Genba. There wasnât time for me to go all the way to Azuchi and then travel back up to the Togakushi shrine â I would miss the wormhole if I did.
Until then I would pretend to be a happy, engaged Princess. As such, I looked over and smiled fondly at Mitsunari, who was happily catching up with Ieyasu (less than happy to be caught up with). DĂ©jĂ vu, Mitsunariâs hand came close to knocking a bowl of soup into Ieyasuâs lap.
Ieyasu braced himself, that familiar scowl descending his face. Mitsunari slowed down, moved his bowl out of the way, and continued the conversation.
Startled, Ieyasu blinked. Then he frowned again â must be disappointed not to have anything to complain about. If I had been in a better mood myself, I would have laughed at him.
Yes, Mitsunari had changed. Well. A little. He was less clumsy. More confident. Oh, under that he was still the too literal absent minded, sweet genius that I âŠ
âŠcouldnât possibly allow myself to think, to feel about in that way.
Suddenly, I could no longer stand to be in a room full of people and before I could think of any excuse, I jumped to my feet.
âAre you feeling alright, Okatsu?â Looking concerned, Mitsunari reached for my hand, but I was already backing away from the table.
âIâm fine. I thought Iâd steal some dessert and take it up to Hikosane.â It was a stupid excuse â Hikosane probably had been fed the same meal we had. But I realized I did want to check in on the kid. âOh, no stay put,â I added when Mitsunari moved to join me. âI know you havenât seen Ieyasu in a while, and you want to spend time with your friend.â
Ieyasu sighed the sigh of a man facing a long evening.
Without allowing either of them to say another word, I hurried out of the banquet hall.
Eventually, I tracked Hikosane to the stables â just as I expected, he was pestering Mitsuhide and Kyubei to tell him about their adventures.
âYoung man, you are one question away from becoming as annoying as â that one.â Mitsuhide indicated me with a nod of his head.
âTruly? I am honored by the comparison.â Hikosane gave a rather Mitsunari-esque response. Perhaps he had been spending too much time with both of us.
âThat was in no way intended to be a compliment.â Mitsuhide stood up, signaling to us all that whatever patience he had was at its end.
âHuh, actually, I took it as a compliment too.â I held out my hand for Hikosane. âIf I can annoy you, I must be doing something right.â
Kyubei hastily smothered a laugh, which earned him a look of doom from Mitsuhide.
âAnyway, I will be out of your ⊠wig⊠soon enough. And you can sooth yourself with the knowledge that Hideyoshi hates me even more than you do.â Every time that man looked at me, his jaw twitched as if he were biting his tongue.
âThere is that.â Mitsuhide then turned serious. âNeither I nor Hideyoshi hate you⊠far from it. Youâre simply too volatile for my peace of mind. Doing the work that I, and by association, you, do, requires a certain cold calculation that at this point, you do not yet possess.â I opened my mouth to protest that (which⊠might have proven his point), but he continued, âAnd I would regret it if someday you were to acquire that skill.â
He turned back toward Kyubei, who, I belatedly noticed, was sitting in front of a partially completed shogi game â I suppose Hikosane had interrupted them. I wondered if Mitsuhide and Aki would ever get the chance to complete their long-running game. Hopefully, wherever Aki was, he was still alive and would be able to return to this time.
My expression must have been unusually unguarded, because Kyubei said, âHikosane has told us what happened to Akihira. Do you think Iekane would take him prisoner?â Unspoken was the âor simply killed him elsewhere?â
âThatâs certainly a possibility.â Or they could both be chasing after each other in a different timeline, but that wasnât something I could bring up to this audience.
Reminded of his manners â or at least of macro-etiquette in this type of situation, Mitsuhide turned back to me. âI am truly sorry that you lost your mentor. I imagine you were close.â
âHeâs her father!â Hikosane had not yet fully learned the lesson of keeping information private, but this likely wasnât something that I would have been able to hide from Mitsuhide in the long run anyway. âOf course, they were close!â
That bombshell prompted mirror image raised single eyebrows from both Kyubei and Mitsuhide (yeesh, can everyone but me do that?). âFascinating. That was information that had escaped me.â
I considered telling him that it had been a surprise to me as well, but it would do him no harm to believe that I had always known and had managed to keep it a secret from him. I also imagined Iâd get some spy credit chips if he thought that I had grown up being trained by Aki. âWell. You canât know everything.â
That, in my opinion, was a perfect exit line, so I gave Mitsuhide a version of his own mocking bow, and a more polite one to Kyubei, before leading Hikosane back to the castle.
Hikosane looked back over his shoulder toward the stables as we padded through the corridors of Genba. âIâm looking forward to knowing him better.â
âI donât think anyone really knows him, aside from Kyubei.â The castle had quieted down for the night. Seemed like the banquet had ended earlier than usual, and people were heading off to bed.
âWhen Shohime and I are living at Azuchi, I will make it a point to learn as much as I can from and about him.â Hikosaneâs voice held a solemn vow, but I was more interested in what he said, and not how.
âYouâll be living at Azuchi?â I slid open the door to his room, and automatically scanned it for samurais and snakes. The page waiting for Hikosane flinched under my stare and stepped backward, nearly tripping over the futon.
âIt has not been formalized yet, but we went to Nobunaga and offered ourselves as hostages â no, itâs what I want â and Shohime too,â he added quickly before I could make a protest. âWhile you may not think itâs necessary, I wish to learn more about governing and Iâll learn more from Nobunaga than my own father.â
This was clearly true, and if his life was still in danger from Iekane, Azuchi was a safer place for him to be. âYouâre right, you probably will.â
âI can learn from you too. Iâve never known a kuinochi princess before.â He bowed to me.
Neither have I.
âHikosane, Iâm going on a long journey first â to spend time with my brother and look for my father. I donât know exactly when Iâll be returning to Azuchi.â Too many directions I wanted and needed to go. No matter where I ended up, part of my heart would be somewhere else.
He looked at me a long time, then ran to me and gave me a long hug. âI am certain I will see you again.â
âYouâll see me tomorrow.â I bowed to him. âGood night, Hiko.â
As he slid closed the door to his room, I wished I were not leaving. I would like to see this child grow up and become whatever it was he was to become. I even wanted to see what kind of damage Shohime would do to the Azuchi warlords.
Who knows⊠maybe she and Mitsunari would end up together after all. I wished that thought didnât hurt as much as it did.
I took a deep breath.
And then another.
By the time I got back to our room, I had composed myself⊠until I opened the door to discover that Mitsunari had lost his mind.
He was � I tilted my head to try and get a better perspective on what he was⊠he was⊠well, it looked like he was playing a game of invisible twister with an octopus.
When he saw me, he blushed, then lost his balance and collapsed in a heap, half on the cushion and half on the floor.
I rushed over to help him up. âAre you alright?â By which I meant both physically and mentally. He scrambled to toss something behind him. It, naturally, bounced off the wall. I put my hands up to avoid getting smacked in the face with it, and â
One of Mozumiâs pillow books?
I looked at the book.
I looked at Mitsunari.
He was still blushing.
For the first time in years, I could think of nothing to say. I might (possibly) have been blushing too. I simply handed the book back to him. My mind still blank, I considered whether I should just back out of the room, then re-enter and do a retake of the entire last five minutes.
Hey. Time travel. It could happen.

An Evening Snack
I started this fic for @lorei-writes and @wordycheeseblob wish upon an aide event with the passion prompt but I stalled half way through and just finished it recently. It's also different from the others I did for the event and not exactly what I wanted but close enough. I'm still not as comfortable with Ikesen yet but I'm getting there so it was good practice. Kyubei and Chimaki 'talk' about Mitsuhide and Mai over a snack. Pure fluff WC approx 865.
It was late at night and as always Kyubei was taking one last walk around the manor ensuring it was secure before retiring to his room for the day. As he completed the familiar routine he came to a pause at the entrance.
Is that-?
Hmm?
Is what what?
âŠNo, it's nothing.
In truth Kyubei wasn't all that surprised to see the hairpin adorning Lady Mai's hair, in fact he had been praying he was right. Kyubei continued on his rounds, unaware he had started humming to himself until he reached his final stop at the gardens. In this spot too he found himself pausing and remembering the events of the day.
I was the one who delivered it to Lord Mitsuhide while he was imprisoned.
What?
I asked if he needed anything before he left. He said there was only one thing he absolutely had to getâŠI believe it was his intent to give it to you upon your return to Azuchi.
âEven though I had just been in the dungeons my heart was uplifted as soon as I saw that hairpin, and knowing that was the most important thing to him at that momentâŠâ
Kyubei let out a long breath and was about to head back into the manor when he heard rustling in a nearby bush.
âChimaki, have you come to visit again already? I'm afraid I have to inform you that neither the Lord or future Lady of the manor are at home right now.â
Chimakiâs tail flicked at Kyubeiâs words.
âLady of the manor.â
Sighing, Kyubei sat down on the steps and looked up into the night sky.
âMy lord has always been alone in the shadows, never concerned with the consequences of the way he's chosen to live his life but nowâŠNow he has finally found someone.â
Chimaki moved slightly towards Kyubei and sat down, looking up at him with big eyes. He laughed knowing what that meant and began to rummage around in his pocket finally pulling out a hand towel that held some rice balls.
âIs this what you're looking for?â
Chimaki let out a small chatter and her tail swished elegantly around her.
âHehe I thought so, guess I know you pretty well now.â
Kyubei tossed one of the rice balls to Chimaki and she began to eat.
âI like to think I know Lord Mitsuhide well too, I've served him a long time after all. Heâs always been passionate about the things he does, giving everything of himself in the process. So much so he doesn't even usually bother to take care of himself beyond the bare minimum. Now there is finally something he truly wants for himself, that makes him happy and is a better use for all his passion.â
Kyubei bit into his own rice ball.
âAt first I wondered, just what it was he was planning with her. Never expected that it would be this, though I doubt he expected it either.â
Kyubei let out a soft chuckle and turned his attention up to the stars again.
âI worried about him, his way of life was going to end up killing him one way or another. I don't think he will be in such a hurry to sacrifice himself anymore. Did you know Chimaki, he has already declared his intent to marry her to Lord Nobunaga and Lord Hideyoshi?â
Chimaki looked up from her rice ball and blinked at Kyubei.
âI swear it's true, of course at the time he was using it as cover to keep his other deeds undiscovered or so he said anyways but as I said I know Lord Mitsuhide well.â
Kyubei gave Chimaki a cheeky smile and she seemed to smile back at him.
âHis passion and kindness always come through in the end, you just need to know what to look for. I suspect Lady Mai has figured that out as well by now.â
The smile left Kyubeis face replaced by a worried frown.
âShe is perfect for him, and the only one who is capable of saving Lord Mitsuhide from himself. I hate that she has to carry such a heavy burden aloneâŠâ
Kyubei sat silent for a moment then tossed his barely touched rice ball to Chimaki.
âHe's so close, she's right there and all he needs to do is not let go of her.â
Kyubei sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. He closed his eyes and sat in silence for a long moment as Chimaki watched him curiously. Finally he let out another sigh before standing.
âShe's survived him this long. All I need to do is have faith, right Chimaki?â
Chimaki stood stretching her front legs and letting out a small raspy bark.
âExactly, it will all work out.â
Kyubei gave a small nod to Chimaki before he walked away. Chimaki watched and waited until Kyubei was gone and then she laughed while shaking her head.
Of course it will all work out silly man!
A sadly sweet smile flashed across Chimaki's face brought on by something she left unspoken.
We kitsune take care of our own after all, even if this one does happen to be human.

A warrior kid
Part 2
Part 1:
Nobunaga Oda, the king of the sixth heaven, he was walking on the streets of Azushi trying to relax and take some fresh air.
It didn't took long for Nobunaga to stop, he saw a little girl with her mother sleeping between two houses and some people around them.
- What is going on? - Nobunaga got close.
- Lord Nobunaga? The mother died and the kid doesn't want to go away from the corps. - A neighbor spoke.
- I see... And the father?
- He left a day ago to look for medicine but hasn't come back.
Nobunaga tougtht for a moment and took the kid away from the corps
- Lord Nobunaga, what are you doing? - Another Neighbor asked
- We can't just let the little kid alone. I will look for a place for her to stay.
The kid started crying.
- I want my mama!!!
- I'm sorry but your mama isn't able to take care of you... - Nobunaga said as calm as he could.
- Why not? - The kid asked calming down.
- She... She is asleep forever...
The kid stayed silent looking at her mother but eventually nodded. Nobunaga started to walk away with the kid in his arms.
---------------------------------------------------
Hideyoshi was discussing with Masumane.
- It's so cold... - Masamune groaned.
- It's winter after all. - Hideyoshi answered. - Anyways, Lord Nobunaga hasn't come back.
- I guess he has...
In that moment Nobunaga arrived to the room with the child on his arms that was still sobbing while hugging Nobunaga.
- What is this? - Hideyoshi asked confused.
- Seems like a child to me. - Masamune answered mocking him.
- I know she is a child but what is he doing with a child?
- I fond her, and we are going to find a place for her to live. - Nobunaga said.
- Lord Nobunaga, we are in war, we aren't an orphanage. - Hideyoshi answered.
- Hear me out! - Masamune shout. - Let's raise her to be a warrior.
- Are you stu! - Hideyoshi stopped because Nobunaga spoke.
- What a greet idea!
- Nooo!!! - Hideyoshi stopped them.
- What is a warrior? - The kid asked.
- See, she doesn't even know what a warrior is. - Hideyoshi argumented. - And she is too small and weak, she won't be able to hold a sword much less attack, and in top of that she is a female, she should be getting ready to be a wife in the future.
Masamune and Nobunaga looked at Hideyoshi then at the kid.
- If we feed her she will recover and kids grow fast. - Masamune answered.
- She is a kid! She isn't going to be able to lift a sword even with proper nutrition. - Hideyoshi said annoyed
- Then let's teach her how to use small knifes and raise her to be a spy! - Masamune said. - No one would expect a woman to be a spy for us!
- SHE IS A KID!!!
Hideyoshi trued to make some sense but Nobunaga seemed to like the idea of Masamune more than what Hideyoshi had to say. Mitsuhide entered the room.
- I hear some yelling. - Mitsuhide said.
- Mitsuhide, we are gonna raise her to be a spy! - Nobunaga held the kid to him.
- Ah? She is a kid... - Mitsuhide answered.
- Kids grow fast with proper food. - Masamune argumented.
- Okay I'm in. - Mitsuhide smirk.
- Noooooo!!! - Hideyoshi made a last attempt.
---------------------------------------------------
Nobunaga ordered Ieyasu to look over her health. Once they made sure she was healthy Masamune cook her food to recover her strength.
- What should we name her? - Masamune asked
- She probably has a name. - Hideyoshi answered.
- But she is now mine. - Nobunaga said.
Mitsunari entered the room.
- What are you doing?
- Trying to find a name for this kid. - Mitsuhide answered.
- What about Nobuko? - Mitsunari suggested.
- Nobuko! Yes! - Nobunaga seemed to agree
- But you want her to be a spy, right? - Mitsuhide said with a confused look. - Won't it blow her cover?
- Then we can give her another name as a cover. - Masamune said.
- What about Kyo? - Ieyasu suggested.
- What a nice idea! - Nobunaga said with a big smile.
While the grill was eating Hideyoshi got close to her.
- Little one what's your name? - Hideyoshi asked.
- Mai... - She answered as Hideyoshi cleaned her mouth.
- Well, welcome to your new home Mai.

A symbiosis of Distrust and need
Characters: Nobunaga, Mitsuhide Writers: @evil-quartett @claviscollections @scorchieart Rating: all ages Warnings: none Notes: We played Frantic Fanfic in voice chat and decided it was too much fun not to share it. Strap in for the chaos! (5 minutes mode; we challenged ourselves to be serious)
Nobunaga found himself concerned. Where did Mitsuhide go? Rumor was that he'd been betrayed by the snake of Echigo. The Demon King had more and more trouble actually believing his vessel went for quests against the pirates a lot of times, but rarely brought back any treasure, weapons, or prisoners. Asking was pointless, though, for whenever he asked, the silver-tongued man would tell him an elaborate story about his fights. It's started feeling almost like the net of a spider, slowly entrapping him inside it, to be consumed by Mitsuhide. Truly, that man wasn't a snake, he was a spider who'd webbedn around the world.
---
Mitsuhide loved keeping secrets. He enjoyed it to a fault, and someday, if he wasn't careful it might come back to bite him in the backside. It wasn't that he was betraying Nobunaga per se, he was just⊠Twisting some truths, and finding favourable positions for himself. He wanted to be the only one who knew the full picture, and thus his master could never fully trust him. The dance went on and on. Nobunaga mistrusting but needing Mitsuhide, and Mitsuhide mistrusting and needing Nobunaga.
---
But how long could this dance last? Would it end as soon as the music ceased to play, or would the two prolong this waltz of deception until the weaker collapsed? It was a question neither knew the answer to, but could not deny the thrill of seeking it out to the final moment. And it seemed, at last, that moment was fast approaching. Nobunaga curled his fist around the hilt of his katana and took a battle stance. The port he followed Mitsuhide's lead to sat abandoned, and the quickly receding twilight gave the shore the air of a haunted cove. Wherever Mitsuhide was hiding, whatever he was planning, the truth was bound to reveal itself now. Nobunaga knew it as surely as he knew the range of his weapon. And as the final stars straggled to catch view of the upcoming confrontation, Mitsuhide emerged from the thicket of brush just beyond the bay armed and smiling. "Shall we?" he taunted. "Of course."

Witch of Penchant
Prologue:Â Part 1/4
Shingen x MC (Mai)
the thread of INSPIRATION | Next
Logline -Â A women in nuns clothes, with an unsettling resemblance to a fox, the witch of Honno-ji, has traveled back in time to an era she has already lived through. She accidentally saved the life of Nobunaga Oda, but now she wonders how else the past has changed.
2200-ish words
Nobunaga scolded him. âLet her be. Her name is Mizusaki Mai. Oh yes and she saved my life.â
Mitsuhide looked surprised, wide eyes, âYou saved Oda-samaâs lifeâŠ?â snakey smile, âAnd youâre such a slender thing. but it appears your courage makes up for it.â Mai rolled her eyes, returned an equally disturbing, but unusually toothy smile, scoffed, then continued scanning the scene.
This starts as you would expect it, a woman and man find themself at a lonely stone monument as the rain starts suddenly. Although, this is not an unusual spot for the woman to be; witches like her throughout time and space have been the protector of rifts, weak spots in the fabrics of reality. Mai sighed as the undergrad fell through the wormhole before she dived in after him. She would have liked to return him to his time more immediately, but he apparently distracted her enough that she appeared 4 years after him. Oh wellâŠ
Mai soon found her vision to be quickly obscured with streams of billowing hot smoke. The Honno-ji shrine came into view around her, currently in flames. An armor suited man sat asleep amidst the chaos. In the year 1582, betrayed by Akechi Mitsuhide, Oda Nobunaga committed seppuku amidst the fiery wreckage of Honno-ji. Or that was how the past played out when she successfully protected the rift from mortals. With the young man nowhere in sight, she infrured he fell into some time before, and the effects of such meant it was nothing like the first time she lived through it.Â
A man (presumably Oda Nomunaga) dressed in a suit of ancient Japanese armor was sitting on the floor, head tilted down in sleep. Another man holding some kind of walking stick approached the unconscious man. As Maiâs watery eyes squinted in the smoke, she recognised the gleam as that of a sword. Sparks from the flaming paper walls illuminated the sharp edge of the raised metal blade.
With a sharp intake of the oxygenless air, the witch bellowed a wordless cry at the armored man. Typhoon force winds suddenly blew from her mouth, and the man slammed through the paper walls out of sight. The sword clattered to the ground in a cruel imitation of church bells. Mai heard him scramble for the blade before fleeing.
She hurried over to and crouched beside the unconscious man and shook him urgently. He finally woke, eyelids lifting lazily, âWho are you?â he sputtered out into the smoke.
âNo time for introductions. Come on, letâs get you out of here!â Mai said with a chuckling tone. Mortals were always so confident in their self importance.
"Take my hand!â He obeyed, grabbing her hand. She shifted her weight before hauling him to his feet.
Concerning shapes flitted by in the edges of the pair's vision. They were ignored in favor of an exit. The wooden stairs wonât hold much longer.
The exit came into view! The pair burst through the door, into the refreshing, blessed cool night air and barreled down the path, far from the smoke and flames.
The temple was being engulfed by uncontrollable flames. The man glanced at the destruction before his eyes came to rest on the women in front of him. âSomeone tried to do away with me while I slept,â he began, âAudacious but foolish. Killing my guards and getting that close to me is another matter.âÂ
So those shapes had been guards-Mai sighed, she had been too distracted, if she didnât cut this chain of distractions from her mind or the rift would fall to desecration and mortals would fall to harm.
The samurai (presumably Oda Nomunaga) meets her eyes, âYou there. Woman. Let go of me.â
Mai chuckles, âOh sorry.â She let go and pulled back. The man looked over her thoughtfully. He stared at her rakusu overtop a brightly colored kimono, the religious garment indicating her servitude to Buddhism.Â
âYou saved my life. You may be some girl the monks snuck in for amusement but I owe you my thanks.â
âThe amusement of others is neither my intention nor my job, but you are welcome.â
Mai surveyed him for injury, but found none. His pale red eyes were unsettling, proud and brutal, hair a solid black. His clothes were finely made, he stood in black armor, with red tassels and a white under-haroi. As fine as the sword and as deadly as tanegashima hanging from his belt.
âWhat are you staring at? Surely you know who I am.â
âI really donât.â And Mai really didnât, it was best not to assume in this unfamiliar past.
âYou saved me without knowing who I am? Not expecting reward or favor? ⊠So be it I shall tell you my name. I am the man who rule all under the sun -â
Definitely Oda Nobunaga. âActually, you donât really need to tell me.â Mai started approaching the temple. She wanted to stabilize the rift before the fire watch came.
The samurai smirked, âYouâre a curious woman. No oneâs ever spoken so impudently to me before.â He let out a loud amused laugh that echoed far into the night before continuing, âYou intrigue me, which is almost as worthy of praise as saving my life. I am the lord of Azuchi Castle and Daimyo of Owari, Oda Nobunaga.â
Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, Nobunaga Oda-and he was just in the burning Honno-ji temple-meaningâŠ
âPardon me for asking something strange but what year is it?â
Oda Nobunaga looked confused at the question, âIt is 1582. Why?â Because in the year 1582 betrayed by Akechi Mitsuhide, Oda Nobunaga committed seppuku amidst the fiery wreckage of Honno-ji. Mai signed.
âIâve given my name; now itâs your turn.â
Oda Nobunaga took a full step forward and took her chin in his hand, forcing her to meet his eyes. âOof!â
That surprised her. Nobunagaâs face was almost touching Maiâs as he smirked.
âGive me your name.â
âMizusaki. Mizusaki Mai.â
âA good name.â
âGlad you approve. Now let go of me.â
Mai brushed off his hand and would have continued walking towards the burning temple if she hadn't heard a large group coming their way.
A finely dressed samurai, with grey hair in a white coat, a black chest piece and long lavender hakamas, ran to Nobunaga crying âOyakata-sama, youâre safe!â
The man arrived at the front of a unit of soldiers, rushing toward the two.
âMitsunari? Why are you here? Where is Hideyoshi?â Nobunaga said.
âHideyoshi-sama sent me ahead. He should be here shortly.â He took in the sight of the burning temple with a frown. âWe received information about an assassination attempt. It appears to have been true. I had my men search the grounds but whoever it was had already fled.â Mitsunari glanced at the women beside him, "If I may ask who is this? I saw the two of you leave the temple together.â
"Mai, present yourself to my subordinate." Nobunaga indicated Mitsunari with a nod and then waited.Â
âIâm sorry, did I miss the part where I became a subordinate too? I don't have to follow your orders."Â
Nobunaga glared, âThen youâre choosing to disobey me?â
âIt seems to be hard not too when one is so set on things going his way.â
Mitsunari coughed before chiming in, âPlease this is on me. It was rude of me not to introduce myself first. My name is Ishida Mitsunari. I serve at the side of Toyotomi Hideyoshi-sama, Oyakata-samaâs right hand man.â
"Nice to meet you. Iâm Mizusaki Mai."
Nobunaga gestured to Mai once again, "I donât know who she is, but she roused me and saw me to safety.â
âShe did! I canât thank you enough for protecting our lordâs life.â Mistunari bowed enthusiastically deep in a show of thanks.
âBut what brought you here tonight?â Mitunari continued his questions, âYou dress like a nun, but your attire is quite unusual. Are you from abroad?â
âIt was the godsâ lightning that guided me here. Now if youâll excuse me, I have a fire to be dealt with and a fox to strangle.â
âWhat?â âWhat?!â was the response from both men.
They stared in shock and then disbelief.
âYou poor thing. The smoke from the fire was very disorientating, I'm sure.â Mitsunari grabbed her shoulder and began guiding her away from the smokey temple grounds.
Nobunaga laughed, âAre you claiming it was a kitsune who tried to kill me?â
âI never implied that is what the kitsune was plotting, only that I know he is involved.â One of them is referring to a wily bastard of a man, the other is referring to an actual mythical being.
Mistunari interrupted, pushing the two further away, âSit down over there and get some fresh air. Someone will bring you a change of clothes.â Maiâs sleeves were black with soot, and the hemline was burned several inches higher.
âOnce youâre freshened up, youâll feel much better.â
âThank you.â Mai quickly bowed as a soldier approached with a bundle in his hands.
Mitsunari said, âNow letâs get you into these shall we, Ojou-sama? Prepare a tent!â before walking off to conduct the soldiers. Mai redressed in the yellow kimono, white obi, and orange haori. She changed into the clean white tabi before putting on her old geta again. Her hair clung to her back, the two braids at her temples not unwinding. Once she stepped out of the tent, Ishida-san guided her to the center of the hastily assembled camp.
âWait, right here.â he said, âIâll bring you a cup of good clean water to clear your throat. â With him gone the only other person nearby was Nobunaga.
"You clean up wellâ
Mai glared as his eyes lingered in return. She turned and kept her gaze on the entrance waiting for Ishida-san to return. The smoke from the Temple started to clear. Ishida-sanâs troops must have put out the fire. As she breathed the clearing air, someone parted the curtain and entered camp but it wasnât Ishida-san.
A fox-like man, and Mai knew fox-like, approached, âOyakata-sama. I see you are well.â
âMitsuhide?â Nobunaga questioned his surprise appearance.
Him? The person who started this whole incident, noâthe history is different this time, but how?
âI hurried when I heard about the attack,â Mitsuhide seemed not in the least bit hurried, âbut it seems there was nothing for me to worry about.â
âYou worry?â Nobunaga smirked, âDonât make me laugh. Iâve never even seen you sweat.â
Yet another person entered the camp. This, this was a man in a hurry. âOyakata-sama! Are you injured?â He cried!
âThe only injury I suffered is my pride in letting my assailant escape.â Nobunaga responded.
âI see.â
âAnd now Toyotomi Hideyoshi shows up!â Mai said offhandedly, she continued to study the temple ground from a distance.
âArenât we outspoken? Have we met?â the correctly assumed Hideyoshi said this pointedly.
Nobunaga scolded him. âLet her be. Her name is Mizusaki Mai. Oh yes and she saved my life.â
Mitsuhide looked surprised, wide eyes, âYou saved Oda-samaâs lifeâŠ?â snakey smile, âAnd youâre such a slender thing. but it appears your courage makes up for it.â Mai rolled her eyes, returned an equally disturbing, but unusually toothy smile, scoffed, then continued scanning the scene.
Hideyoshi asked, âAkechi-san, what are you doing here?â
And Mitsuhide returned a, â I was wondering the same thing. I didnât know you were in Kyoto. What about the campaign?â
âWhen I heard about the threat to our lordâs life I dropped everything to come here. But I never heard anything about you being in Kyoto.â
Mitsuhide frowned, âAre you implying something?â
âCan you swear before our daimyo that you werenât plotting anything?â Hideyoshi barked out.
Mitsuhide didnât answer him. The two locked eyes, tension filling the space between them. Hideyoshi is already suspicious that he is responsible for the attack.
Finally, Mitsuhide said, âAll men have secrets in chaotic times. Are you saying you act with no ambition of your own?â
âStop being evasive! Confess!â Hideyoshi said, his eyes flared. He gripped his sword, ready to draw. âIf I find that you played any part in this attack on our lord, Akechi-san, Iâll show you no mercy.â
âIt wasnât himâŠâ Mai said, still facing away, she began untangling her hair.
âWhat?â
Mai looked back and said, "I caught a glimpse of the man who attacked Nobuâum, Oda-sama, but the drape of his clothes was all wrong. And Mitsuhide is spotless.â The bells the man wore also reminded her of monks. âAnd we were both covered in soot.â He still smelled of soot actually.
"Mizusaki-san, was it? Stay out of this.â Hideyoshi said rudely, âWeâll settle things with you later and learn why youâve schemed to get so close to Oyakata-sama.â
âExcuse you,â Mai snarked,âIâm a nun with no interest in scheming-â A lie. Two actually, she hasnât been a nun in a long while.
Nobunaga said, âEnough, Hideyoshi. Regardless of what brings Mitsuhide here, I am alive and well.â
Hideyoshi bowed his head, "My apologies, Oyakata-sama.â He immediately let go of his sword, his hand relaxing somewhat.
Nobunaga turned to Mai, âHideyoshi, Mitsuhide. Leave us. I have something to discuss with Mai-gozen.â
"With me?â Gozen?
They stepped outside as Nobunaga approached. "Your discourteous manners aside, you saved my life. Iâm intrigued by you. Youâre a woman who carries fortuneâs favor of that Iâm certain.â
Maiâs eyes widened. Nobunaga had slipped one arm around her waist, pulling her possessively toward him, his voice close, âHow would you like to rule the world at my side?â
âApologies, but I really must go; I have my duties, and you have your nation to uniteâŠâ And with that prediction for the man, she fled towards the edges of camp. âWhat did you say to Me!â Nobunaga called after her. Toyotomi-san and Akechi-san called on her but she fled the small camp, racing into the forest.

|| I Enjoy Your PainÂ
[ Mitsuhide and Reader ]Â
âEndless amount of people isn't it, Lord Nobunaga?â
||Words : 555
You were in extreme amounts of pain, your eyes flowing with tears. It was a sight to behold after all, well at least for Misuhide who stood there and watched you suffer. You were on the floor, your legs spread out to make sure you would not be in pain again. But despite the efforts you felt the stinging pain from when you tripped and got yourself into this position.Â
When you thought that everything had calmed down a bit, you heard the low chuckle from Mitsuhide, whoâs chuckle made chills go down your spine. He was laughing at your pain, and that made your expression display displeasure all over it. âWhy are you laughing?â Your voice was shaky due to the tears from your pain, it was hard not to cry after all.Â
âWhat a show you put on, I am enjoying your painâŠhow sweet your cries soundâŠâ He chuckled, you see this look in his eyes, close to some kind of playfulness.Â
You felt your jaw drop at him calling your cries sweet, and your cheeks puff up âw-well thatâs just weird, you justâŠdonât laugh at someoneâs pain and think itâs ok!â You tried correcting him, but all you could really hear was his continued laughs.
He lended a hand out to you, and you take it without any question. He pulls you up to where youâre standing up straight again, giving you a second to allow you to rebalance yourself. âThank youâ You spoke quietly, and you felt in no mood to cry due to the aching pain.Â
âHonestly you will never understand how satisfying pain looks in my eyesâŠif you did you would be giggling like a baby. Watching someone struggle really gets me in a good mood~â He chuckled, and whispered into your ear, as if they werenât alone.Â
His eyes had become slits as he laughed, the wrinkles under his eyes became more present, and his smile marks were pushed up. You could just watch those cold eyes staring into yours and feel so targeted. To your credit, he wasâŠnon-human in many aspects, it could be as simple as how he talks as if he doesnât get common sense, how he loves seeing the pain in others eyes.Â
Sure, he helped you today, but that didnât mean that one day he might just take your moment of vulnerability to get a kill, and only for the fun of it. That is, at least how you see him, how he has been soaked in blood from head to toes, or how he speaks of harming others as eating.Â
Honestly you didnât get it, you really didnât, and you just stared into his eyes for so long that you did know you were spaced out in your thoughts. Like as if you had been staring into a void, and in his perspective you were just staring out into nothingness. He watches in amusement of how you did, but eventually he starts waving a hand in front of your face to get your attention. âHello~ Earth to [Your Name}~ Wakey Wakey~â He chuckled lightly, it was too amusing.
âWait huh?â You got back into reality to be met with a sly smile on Mitsuhideâs face, âOh hello.â You smile a little bit, as if you forgot what happened.
What a weird moment.Â

Ikemen Sengoku: What-If Collection Event - Warlord Pets
(Don't mind the photo) I wrote this fanfiction for fun where the warlords turn into their animal mascots. Since there wasnât much spotlight for their beloved pets I thought I would write about them in a What-If Collection Event for April Foolâs Day on April 1st. Since the increase of the IkeSen roster I decided to take the time to add the additional six characters. So a total of all seventeen men in the IkeSen roster.
THE HERD PART 1
It was a pleasant evening like any other evening. Tomorrow everyone from the Usugi-Takeda forces along with Kennyo, Motonari & Kicho were going to visit Azuchi. Sasuke already visited me two days ago since Kenshin wanted to visit me. I thought we would all try something that will get everyone working togetherâŠor at least trying to. I already had some ideas but Sasuke hasnât visited me to discuss it over with him. Maybe weâll talk tomorrow.
âAh the moon is so beautiful this evening; it would be nice to watch it with everyone. Time for bed.â
By the next morning I was the first in the war council room. Usually everyone would be here or I would be informed to show up but no one was here until the sliding door opened. I sat up straight but instead I got pounced.
âOof! What in the world?â
It was then I felt something wet on my face. When I lifted up whatever was on top of me and tried to see who or what it was.
A TIGER?! SHOGETSU?!
âYou were supposed to be at the manor with Masamune, what in the world are you doing here!? I better return you back to the manor as soon as possible or else Hideyoshi is going to blow a blood vessel.â
But the tiger was not the only animal that was in war council a whole colossal of animals flooded into the room. I didnât even realize there was a monkey trying to attack the tiger that I was holding.
OH NO! Please no fighting!
I decided to stand up and try to reach for the monkey that was clinging to the back side of my kimono. But then I felt a nudge almost making me fall over. The perpetrator was a deer.
âOH GREAT! NOW IEYASUâS DEER WASABI!â
Circling around my ankle was a cat meowing and purring as if the fiasco I was in the middle of didnât exist.
What is with all these animals? Something really isnât right. The monkey on my back let out a yelp as it let go of my back who was trying to reach for the tiger. Now the monkey was flicking his tail that was sadly bitten by a fox. When the fox let go the monkey started chasing the fox. I better stop them.
I was so distracted by the chase I tripped over the cat and planted face first on the floor. A heard a soft snort and a boop from my cheek from a pig snout. What a mess. All of the Azuchi warlord pets are running amuck. I wonder why. I then heard the pig squeal as he ran off into a different direction being chased by something.
When I realized what happened I noticed a wolf chasing the poor piggy. On the wolfâs back was a squirrel. And behind them was a bear with a bunny and a hamster on its back chasing the other animals across the room.
Just when the wolf and bear were chasing after the pig and cat they nearly knocked over a jar. The peacock that flashed its feathers blocked their direction to the beautiful jar as if protecting something precious spooking any nearby it away.
I decided to try and chase after the animals stopping them from chasing each other around the room but it only made matters worse as the wolf started to fly into the air by a wallaby. A parrot flying overhead was shaking his head as the wolf collapsed on the ground after being air born by the wallabyâs kick.
The war council was in such disarray as animals were fighting among each other until I heard a loud scream that stopped the infighting and set all the animals on alert. They looked up and saw a hawk that was swarming around a lot more higher then the parrot. The hawk seated itself where Nobunaga would sit. Soon the animals that were most likely warlords from Azuchi began to position themselves in their spots. Now if I didnât know better these were the warlords. How would they know to position themselves like their owners would sit. The parrot then landed just inches away from the hawk.
âFinallyâŠnow that they have settled down we can finally get down to business.â The parrot spoke.
I looked at the parrot who spoke and truly it sounded like Kicho and not Fuka. It was unbelievable. There was no way.
âN-no wayâŠKicho? Is that you?â I canât believe Iâm speaking to Kicho the parrot. Interesting ring to it if I do say so myself.
âYes. It seems Iâm the only one who can talk. Unlike the others. I donât know what or how this happened. From the looks of it we all woke up this way.â

Finiding the Light - Chapter 11
Fandom: Ikemen Sengoku
Pairing: Mitsuhide X OC ( Evelyn)
TW: Self doubt
It had been almost three weeks since she started sewing, but she had finally finished. They were sitting in the gardens having lunch, and Mitsuhide watched as Evelyn ate the fruit in front of her. He was glad she was trying so hard. "Do you Want to put those clothes you made to use and train?â She raised an eyebrow, âWhat kind of training are we talking about here?â He drank a sip of water and put the cup back on the table as he swallowed. âJust the basics for now, self-defense, so if you are ever in a position like that again, you can get out of it. Then weâll progress to weapons. Iâve even had Ieyasu agree to teach you how to use a bow.â She laughed, âI canât imagine Ieyasu teaching me that he gets frustrated with the medicinal stuff.â Mitsuhideâs lip drew up in a smirk. âHe cares about you and your safety, too. Iâm sure you can handle him.â She put her chopsticks down and popped a strawberry in her mouth. The flavor filled her mouth âItâs too bad you canât taste these strawberries are delicious.â Mitsuhide smiled. âIâm just happy that youâre enjoying them.âÂ
After they finished, Mitsuhide had her change; she came out wearing pants and a lightweight Kimono. There was no Obi, so she didnât need to worry about feeling constricted. Mitsuhide had his arms crossed and nodded his head in acceptance. âWeâre going outside.â They walked side by side to go outside. Once they were on the expanse of the outdoors, he faced her. âYouâre going to have to be able to free yourself if an attacker holds you from behind, and from the front, you need to know the weak spots and remember if youâre attacker is male there, itâs always good to hit them in the more sensitive areas.â For the next couple hours, he showed her how to escape if she were captured, where to hit them to take them down so she would have time to flee.Â
Training had become a new part of their daily routine, and he trained her hard, ensuring she got the moves down correctly. When she finally was proficient enough in self-defense, he moved on to weapons, starting with a sword and occasionally training with the gun. However, the sword required more training, so he primarily focused on that. Training made her hungry, so she ate more; she didnât ignore her hunger anymore. She was embracing it.
After her bath she joined Mitsuhide for dinner. He looked at her and smiled. âWhat?â She asked with a curious tone in her voice. âYou seem better, youâre eating, and youâve not only gained weight but muscle. You donât seem so miserable. She took a bite, then swallowed. âThe training is a good distraction from the pain, better than not eating.â He nodded. âItâs a healthy distraction.â She gave him a rare but small smile. âWas that a smile I just saw?â She shook her head. âYouâre imagining things, Mitsuhide.â He shook his head and laughed. âNo, it was definitely a smile. Iâm glad youâre feeling better, Evelyn.â They ate with light conversation.
Ieyasu had come before she woke up. âDoes she always sleep late?â Ieyasu asked Mitsuhide, âOn most days, yes, but sheâs been getting up earlier than she used to. Before, she wouldnât get up before lunch. Itâs better now.â Ieyasu raised a brow. âSheâs getting better, Ieyasu. It might not seem like it, but she is.â He frowned. âI believe you. I just worry about her, but Iâm glad youâre training her. It was a good idea.â Fully dressed, she walked out to the dining area. âLady Evelyn, I have your breakfast. You can sit down; Iâll bring it out.â Mitsuhide got up and motioned for Ieyasu to exit his study. âLetâs go see her shall we?â When Evelyn saw them, her food was being brought out. âGood morning, sleepy head,â Ieyasu said, then he looked her over. âYou look well. Much healthier than the last time I saw you.â Mitsuhide sat down across from her on the pillow that was seated there. âSheâs been working hard.â Ieyasu sat next to her. âI can tell.â A compliment from Ieyasu was rare so she would take it, but she wasnât going to make a big deal out of it.Â
âThank you Ieyasu.â After she finished her meal Ieyasu showed her how to use a bow and even brought one for her to use along with arrows. It gave Mitsuhide some much needed time to read some letters heâs been putting off. After hours of training with the bow, Ieyasu got the arrows from where they had fallen. She handed the bow back over to him. âNo, thatâs for you. I want you to keep it.â She looked at him surprised âYou do?â He nodded and smiled. âJust take it and practice; youâll get better in no time. Now that you know the basics, itâll only get easier. Letâs go inside.â She followed him inside and put the bow and the arrows next to her sewing supplies in the corner of the room that had somehow become the corner where she put her things.
When they found Mitsuhide in his study, he had a grim look on his face. âMitsuhide?â She questioned if he was alright; he looked her over and stood up. âNobunaga wants us to return to see him.â She turned white and could hear the blood pumping in her ears. Ieyasu squeezed her hand, âItâs just a meeting, but Evelyn, youâre better. Maybe itâs time to come home.â Mitsuhide walked towards her and put his hand on her shoulder. âLetâs just see what Nobunaga says, then weâll figure out the rest. You can stay as long as you want I already told you this.â He said as he narrowed his eyes at Ieyasu. âSheâs got to learn to stand on her own without you, or is it you holding onto her.â Ieyasu snapped. âForget it.â He hugged Evelyn with one arm. When he released her, he looked at her pale face. âIâll see you soon.â and he turned to leave. Evelyn followed him and watched him pack up his bow and mount his horse. âGet some rest, you did well today.â He trotted off towards AzuchiÂ
Mitsuhide slowly walked up to her side. âItâs going to be alright.â She looked over to him. âWill it? Iâm scared of you leaving me. What if you have to? What will I do then?â He turned to face her and grabbed her hands. âYouâre stronger than you think.âÂ
âIâm scared, Mitsuhide.â He lifted her chin with his finger, and she looked at him. âPromise me one thing.â She looked at him, curious about what he was going to say. âWhat?â He looked at her with that look he got when he was serious about something. âDonât reverse all the work youâve done. Donât hurt yourself.â She furrowed her brow. âI wonât.â He smiled and stroked her cheek. âGood, we would all be devastated. Me especially Iâve grown quite fond of you. Youâve become an important person in my life.â She threw herself against him, hugging him tight. He hugged her back just as tight. âYouâre important to me too, Mitsuhide.âÂ
After dinner, Evelyn settled into the bath, letting the water ease her sore muscles. Training was hard on the muscles. Forget about running and workout videos. All you need to do is wield a sword or bow, and youâre golden. She washed her long hair and exited the bath, getting dressed in her night clothes. Mitsuhide was at his desk and watched as she got tucked into the futon. He had several candles lit and decided to turn in himself; after he changed, he looked down at her, seeing that she was well on her way to falling asleep. He blew out the candles and settled in the futon next to her.
When Evelyn woke up, Mitsuhide was still in bed. She had a particularly hard night, and although she tried to deal with the wakefulness and cry quietly on her own, Mitsuhide woke up anyway and was there for her just like always. He was probably tired from consoling her. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, trying to wake up, and he blinked his eyes open. âMitsuhide, did I wake you?â He chuckled. âNo, I was already waking up.â In her wakefulness, she noticed their legs tangled together and blushed. She brought her legs away. âWhy are you getting flustered? I always wake up to us like that; Iâm sure it happens when weâre both asleep. Itâs not like you havenât been wrapped up in my body before.â She hit the side of his shoulder. âStop it! Why must you tease me?â Mitsuhide chuckled lowly. âBecause youâre fun to tease, little mouse. You get so worked up.â She rolled her eyes, âUgh, youâre insufferable.âÂ
Mitsuhuide got out of bed and looked down at her. âWeâve got to see Nobunaga; a little haste would be appreciated. â She stood up and looked in the mirror, studying herself while Mitsuhide dressed. She looked worn out, with dark circles under her eyes. Her face was thinner than it used to be, and she didnât like how it looked; her collarbones were defined and protruding. Why hadnât she noticed how sickly she looked before? Tears formed, but she picked up the hairbrush and brushed through the knots. As Mitsuhide excited the dressing screen, he looked at her and saw the tears, noticing her turmoil. âWhy the tears, little mouse?â She set the brush down once she was satisfied. âI donât look like myself.â
She hadnât realized how bad it had gotten; how could Mitsuhide and Ieyasu, even Sasuke, not be worried?! She ignored it, and she chose not to see it. â You look better than you did a month ago.â She looked at him with a flabbergasted expression as if what he said was so unbelievable. However, he considered that to her, it must be because the look she was giving him was telling him how disgusted she was with herself as if she had committed the worst crime imaginable. âHow could I look worse than this?â He grabbed her shoulder, making her turn to look at him. He wiped her tears away. âEvelyn, it shows how far youâve come. Perhaps you had to heal a bit before you saw the truth.â He paused. âNow that you are seeing more clearly, what will you do about it?âÂ
Determination flashed behind her eyes, and her face hardened as she stood up straighter. âIâm going to get over this, I am going to keep getting better and healthier.â More tears rolled down her cheeks. âI want to be okay, Mitsuhide. I want to be me again.â He wiped her tears away yet again. âYou are forever changed, my dear, but-âShe shook her head and cried harder. He lifted her chin so that she was looking into his golden eyes. âBut this is a new you, a stronger you. Just because you wonât be the same again does not mean you are weak and broken. You most certainly are not; you are a strong woman. I hope you know that.â She let a small smile grace her face. âThank you for believing in me.â He looked at her tenderly. âIâve always believed in you.â She wiped the rest of her tears away, and he looked at her. âLetâs go see what Nobunaga needs us for.â He said as he held out his hand for her to take and so they left his manor and made their way to the meeting hall where everyone waited.

Entwined, Ch 12
Part 12 of a multipart series. Mai has been reborn in the modern age after a full life in the Sengoku. The warlords as spirit animals find her again after 500 years of searching for her soul. Approx. 3300 words.
Chapter List
Mai struggled not to fall asleep. Exhaustion had her in its grip, but she wanted - needed - to see Mitsuhide before she let herself give in to it. The cold, sterile hospital air kept her alert as she sat waiting. The rabbit watched her with a disapproving gaze, its mismatched eyes flicked between her and the pillow on the other end of the bed.Â
âYou can stop looking at me like that. Iâll rest after I talk to Mitsuhide,â she told the rabbit. Somehow, it didnât feel silly talking to him.Â
The rabbit huffed and rubbed its face with a paw. Then it hopped over and snuggled onto her lap, placing its paws on top of her uninjured hand. It looked up at her with a serious expression, its nose twitching.Â
âIf I didnât know better, I would think youâre worried about me.â Mai stroked the bunnyâs long, soft ears. âI guess thatâs why youâre a good therapy rabbit, huh?â
âHe probably is. I know I am.âÂ
The unexpected voice made Mai do a little hop on the bed. She looked up to see a gorgeous, pink haired guy standing in the doorway. He held a bouquet of pink roses that nearly matched the color of his hair. âRanmaru?â
He smiled brightly. âYou remembered me! I am so glad!â The roses went onto the small table by the door as he stepped closer.
âUmm, of course. But . . .â
âWhat am I doing here?â He gave a slight shrug. âWell. I heard you were hurt. See, Kennyo - my agent - is old friends with Shingen and, anyway, itâs not important. What matters is, are you ok?â His gaze traveled over her, brows drawing together with worry.Â
Mai paused, not sure how to politely ask why a guy sheâd met once on the train was in her hospital room. The question felt both completely unnecessary and pretty damn important. There was part of her that felt like, of course Ranmaru was here! And another that found it bizarre.Â
âIâm doing ok,â she said after a pause. âBut, Ranmaru . . . who are you? Really?â
He smiled with wide, innocent eyes. It was the kind of expression that might completely derail someoneâs thoughts with just how adorable he was. âI am so happy youâre alright. When we heard what danger that - that kitsune put you in -â
âWait, we?â
Ranmaru blushed, and took a breath. âMm. My manager and I. Anyway, look! I brought you a treat!â He pulled out a candy box in a colorful furoshiki. He handed it to Mai.Â
She took it but didnât open it. âYou didnât answer my question.â
âI told you who I am on the train. And you remembered me. My last name is Mori, but donât tell anyone, âkay?â
She frowned. âThatâs not what I mean. I mean . . . who are you to me? How do you know me?â
Ranmaruâs mouth opened, then closed again. âUmm. Is it ok if I canât really talk to you about that just yet? Because I could never lie to you, Mai. But some things you have to be ready to hear.â
âIâm ready right now.â Mai crossed her arms and tried to hold onto her frown and her glare. It was hard because the sweet-faced Ranmaru looked as if he might start crying.Â
After a long, awkward pause, his shoulders fell. âAlright. Iâll tell you what I can. But you have to promise not to let Mitsuhi- ah!âÂ
The man appeared behind Ranmaru as if summoned by his name. Mitsuhideâs slender fingers curled around Ranmaruâs shoulder. There was an audible pop and suddenly, Ranmaru was gone. Mitsuhide held a struggling white stoat in his hand.
âIt seems youâve been plagued by visitors without a chance to rest, little mouse.âÂ
Mai was so shocked she couldnât speak.Â
Mitsuhideâs golden gaze settled on the rabbit in her lap beside the sweets Ranmaru brought. âYou should go. She is in my care now.â
The rabbit thumped its foot against the mattress, fur bristling.Â
âWe can discuss your accusations later, Uesugi.â Mitsuhideâs expression was cold and his tone one of icy disdain.Â
After a huff, the bunny leapt down from the bed and loped out of the room.Â
Mitsuhide set the stoat down after it and closed the door. âThere. Much better.â He smiled and sat down at the edge of Maiâs bed.Â
âD-did Ranmaru turn into a weasel? I saw him just - just -â She tried to make sense of it, but the only thing that came to mind were folktales. Stories that clearly werenât true. Except what sheâd just seen could have come from one of them.Â
âIs that what happened, little mouse? I think you may be more tired than you realize.â He set a warm hand on her leg, squeezing her calf gently.Â
Mai felt a knot of tension she hadnât even realized she was carrying release at his touch. âI-I am, but he - you -â
Mitsuhide smiled, though the expression looked strained. âAnd you are on something for the pain as well. Perhaps things are not quite as they seem.â
âNo. I want you to tell me now. What - what is going on? How do I know you? And - and the others? Shingen and Sasuke and Ranmaru and -â The stress and horror of her day fell on her all at once. She felt the most absurd urge to fling herself into Mitsuhideâs arms and burrow her face against his chest to cry until the tightness in her released. A tear rolled free from the corner of her eye and slid down her cheek.
He took her in his arms, careful of her injuries. His scent enfolded her as she pressed her face against his shoulder and let herself relax into his touch. Mitsuhideâs hand stroked her back, slow calming motions to ease her tired heart and mind.Â
âI want to - to be mad at you,â she confessed. âYou never answer my questions. And something IS happening. Something I - I donât understand but you,â she leaned back to look him in the eyes. âYou are right in the middle of it.â
Mitsuhideâs expression was unreadable. His eyes glinted with hidden secrets and stories, and his lips were pressed to a thin line. âYouâve been through enough for tonight, little one. Why are you looking for more trouble?â
She took a shaky breath. âIs that what you are?â
âTrouble?â He chuckled. âI have been called worse.â He brushed her hair back from her face, his fingertips trailing along the edge of her ear. âI suppose I am.â
Mai took his hand in hers. âI want to know, Mitsuhide. Everything.â
He sighed and stroked a finger along the back of her hand. The sensation was like a candle flame that raced up the nerves of her arm and set her heart on fire. âEverything? I wouldnât know where to start. And this is not the time for what questions you have.â
âBut -â
âYou will need to be focused when you speak to the police. They want your report of tonightâs events. I donât want you to worry about . . . other things.â His thumb was a warm, comforting pressure at her wrist. âTrust me.â
âI do. I donât know why but I do.â Mai didnât want to think too long on that statement. It was irrational, mad really. She knew very little about Mitsuhide. And though heâd saved her, he also put her in danger. âJust please, next time you set up a clever plot, can you just . . . I dunno. Warn me?â
Mitsuhide stroked his finger along the line of her jaw, stopping at her chin. âI will. I promise.â
She studied his face, hoping for some sign of his thoughts. After a moment, Mai gave up the effort. âAlright. Iâll take that, I guess.âÂ
âGood. Now, little mouse, you need to sleep.â His crescent moon smile returned as he brushed his thumb over her brows. âYour eyes are puffy.â
âYou are so -â Mai felt at a loss for words. But his teasing really did make her feel better. âJust grrrr.â
âMmm. Just?âÂ
A laugh escaped her still-parted lips. âYeah. Pretty much.âÂ
Mitsuhide ruffled her hair. âI shall endeavor to be more. Iâd hate to be relegated to a mere sound of frustration in your mind.âÂ
âI wouldnât say mere. Sometimes youâre practically a symphony.âÂ
âOf more than frustration, I hope?â His golden gaze was impossible to look away from. The playful glint, the soft vulnerability in them intoxicated her.Â
Mai swallowed. âA - a lot more.â
âThen I will be satisfied for now.â He moved to stand, relinquishing his hold on her.
âWait!â
Mitsuhide paused, an eyebrow raised.
âI - I donât want to be alone right now. I wonât sleep if - if you leave.â It was a bit of emotional blackmail, she knew. But it was true as well. She didnât want to be alone, and more than that, she wanted the company of one particular, infuriating man.
His thin smile stretched wide, a soft, resigned exhalation. âI have places to be, but there is a little time between. I will stay, just until you fall asleep. Is that acceptable?â
She nodded, feeling a little guilty.Â
Mitsuhide sat down again on the edge of the bed. âLie down. All the way.â He gently took hold of her shoulder and supported her as she laid back. Then he tugged the blanket up to her chin and made sure her arms were under it.Â
âIâm not a little kid,â Mai pouted, feeling exactly like a child.Â
âNo. You arenât.â He drew a hand over her face, his fingertips brushed lightly over her. The light touch caused her eyes to flutter shut.Â
Mai found it hard to open them again. The thin hospital blanket felt warm with Mitsuhide sitting so close. Her body gave in to the need to sleep. The world drifted away, all her questions, all her worries, sliding away into a comforting darkness. âThank you,â she murmured, âfor staying.â
The last words she heard before sleep took her, âI have never been able to deny you, little one.â
***
A hawk sat on a bare branch of an ancient cedar tree, staring down imperiously at the other animals gathered there. A one eyed tiger striped cat sat on a lower branch, cleaning its fur while a white rabbit chewed furiously at a clover blossom below it. A squirrel perched, half hidden in the foliage, while a pig snuffled around the roots, ridden by a small, grey hamster. There were other even stranger animals - a kangaroo, and a white weasel, a peacock, and a wolf. In the center, at the base of the vast trunk, sat a single white fox with golden eyes.
âShe could have died. Again. The kitsuneâs worse at this than I am.â The kangaroo spoke, his voice loud enough to carry through the odd gathering.Â
The fox sniffed. âI wouldnât have let that happen.â
âNo? Because if this is your protection, the angel might be better off without your interference,â the bear rumbled.
âA true tactician would have considered the possibility of her arrival, and planned for it,â piped the small, grey hamster with violet eyes. His fur bristled as he glared at the fox.
Several other voices rose then, a cacophony of worry and anger. The hawk cut it short with a harsh cry. âEnough!â His piercing, garnet gaze pinned each of the animals to where they stood, sat, or perched. âLet the kitsune speak.â
The fox swished its tail once, a grin spreading over his face, but with fangs bared it was anything but friendly. âThank you all for your . . . insights. The little mouse would be overwhelmed by your concern.â His red tongue lolled between his jaws as he turned his head to regard each animal with a hard, cold golden eye. âShe may not be so pleased that you all think her cowardly or incapable.â
âHey! We never said that,â growled a wolf, hackles raised. The bear beside him put a paw on the wolfâs back, smoothing the grey-brown fur.Â
âOh? Is it not implied?â The white fox widened one eye as if to arch his brow.
The gathering exploded again in a mix of voices and bestial growls. Surprisingly, it was the rabbit that brought them to order this time. The white bunny thumped its foot hard against a tree root until the rest of the beasts fell quiet. âMake your point, kitsune. I am bored of talking.â
âMy point? Hmmm.â The fox smiled again. âOnly that you have all discounted how very capable my little mouse is. I could not keep her out of harmâs way before, and I cannot now. None of you can, because she is not a bauble to be locked away. She is brave, assertive. Independent. And I am proud of her, even as I regret the pain she suffered.â
A low murmur spread out from the tree then, a mix of approval and consternation.Â
âThis was still your fault, Akechi,â the pig said, his voice laced with a sharp bitterness that seemed in opposition to his cheery demeanor.
âI do not deny that. I should have moved to secure Keiki more quickly.â The fox bowed his head.Â
Several animals spoke up then, all saying they could have protected her, kept her from harm. The hawk spoke over them in a tone that brooked no dissent. âUesugi, Kennyo, Takeda and I will speak privately on this. Until then, none shall interfere with our little fireball.â
âNone? What does that mean?â A small monkey poked its head from the leafy branch near the hawk, gentle brown eyes wide and unhappy.
âLeave her alone for now. She will need rest anyway, and that is best accomplished without company.â The hawkâs gimlet-eyed gaze touched every one of the host gathered there. They began to disperse, each to their own place. Some took man-shape as they left, while others stayed on four legs or kept their wings. Only the white fox stayed, head still bowed.
âAlone, hm,â the fox murmured. âAs if, after 500 long years, I could turn away from her, even for a moment.âÂ
***
Mai spent a few hours answering questions for the police the next day. They nodded and took notes, and left their cards for her questions. Once they were gone, the hospital discharged her. Asami and Kaiya came to take her home.Â
âI canât believe that guy! What was he even thinking,â Kaiya shook her head.Â
âProbably something stupid, like hey! Why stop at embezzlement when I could add assault to my crimes,â Asami chimed in.Â
Kaiya sighed. âIâm just glad youâre ok. Who knew costuming could be so dangerous?â
âRight?â Mai gave her friends a tired smile.Â
âI guess this means you didnât get to hook up with Mister Sexy from your past life, huh?â Asamiâs smile was sly, though her gentle gaze told Mai she was still worried about her.
âNope, but he rescued me so I guess that counts for something.â Mai shrugged, then regretted the motion. Her arm ached in the sling, and she wondered how long it would take to heal.
Kaiya gave them both an incredulous look. âWhat are you talking about? Past life?â
Mai and Asami filled their friend in on the way back to Maiâs flat. By the time they got there, Kaiya was shaking her head. âThat is so weird. All of it.â She frowned at Mai. âMaybe it would be a good idea to see a - a therapist or something. And stay away from this guy until you get your head sorted.â
âKaiya!â Asami looked surprised. âYou donât think itâs romantic? I mean think about it! They could have been lovers before, and now their souls are reaching for each other and -â
âStuff like that only happens in rom coms and romance novels.â Kaiya took a deep breath. âIâm just saying, it all sounds pretty wild. But what we know is that you got really hurt yesterday, and this guy youâre crushing on - Mitsuhide? He was definitely involved, even if he didnât hurt you. You might want to take a step back, just to make sure youâre ready for this, whatever it is.â
Mai didnât like the advice very much, but it did sound pretty sensible. âIâll think about it anyway,â she said after a moment. âItâs not like thereâs any rush.â
âRight?â Kaiya agreed, just as Asami said, âYouâre joking!â
The three of them looked at each other, and realized all at once how crazy their argument sounded. They burst into laughter.
Asami helped Mai upstairs, while Kaiya went to grab them lunch. It made Mai feel strange to be the center of so much concern, even with her close friends. Telling her family would be even worse.Â
âSo did our past-life love bring you the candy and flowers?â Asami asked as she helped Mai sit on her bed.
âNo. I got them from -â
âDonât tell me itâs the one you broke up with? Hideyoshi?âÂ
Mai shook her head.
âThe hot chef guy?â Asami tried again.
âNope.â
âOh. My. God. You have another secret admirer?â Asami laughed incredulously.Â
âI mean, I donât think so? It was kind of weird.â Mai told her about the hospital visits, though she left out the peacock and the way sheâd thought she saw Ranmaru turn into a white weasel. She wasnât ready for Asami to think she was that crazy.Â
Kaiya showed up about half-way through, so Mai had to start again while the three of them shared sandwiches and the box of chocolates from Ranmaru. Her two friends looked as confused as she felt.
âSo, let me get this straight. The chocolates are from some guy you ran into on the train. And a guy you met once while on a date with Hideyoshi came in, with friends, including someone whoâs invested in the theater program? And they brought you a support animal?â Kaiya sounded the most incredulous.
Mai nodded. âYeah. It was weird. But they were all so nice! It kind of, I dunno. Felt like I knew them? Like it sounds weird but it seemed natural while they were there?â
âI think you must have got a concussion,â Asami winked to take the sting from her teasing.
Kaiya laughed. âHonestly, I canât decide if youâre lucky or not. Iâd freak out if a bunch of cute guys I barely know showed up and I was in a hospital bed.â
âTrust me, I was freaking out.â Mai grinned.Â
âThis just makes me more sure you need to follow up with my hypnotherapist. I asked for you, and heâs got some openings this week.â Asami took out her phone and pulled up a text. âWhat are you doing Wednesday?â
âHey, hold on. Are you serious?â Kaiya gave Asami a sidelong glance. âHypnosis? Thatâs not even real!â
âHow would you know? Did you ever try it?â Asami shot back.
Mai cleared her throat. âUmm. Hey, it might be worth trying. And anyway, Kaiya, I have a favor to ask you.â She fiddled with the hem of her shirt. She hated, absolutely hated asking for favors. âWould you be willing to help me finish out my current orders? I just donât know - with my arm - how fast I can get them out? And I donât want to disappoint anyone. I can pay you too!â
Kaiya held up her hand. âMai. Of course Iâll help. Itâs not a big deal. I was actually going to ask you if you needed me. I wasnât sure how much work youâve got going on right now.â
âYou are my hero.â Mai gave her friend a one-armed hug.
âMmm. I thought that was the Mitsuhide guy. Didnât he save you from Mr. Theater-Stabbity-Stab?â Asami glanced up from her phone.
Mai giggled. âHe did! But I donât see him here offering to help stitch beads and finish seams.â
Asami grinned back. âYeah yeah. I see how it is. Anyway, I booked you for Wednesday afternoon. Iâll come get you.â
âThanks.â Mai tried to sound certain, though she felt anything but.Â
âAnd, Iâll come over and help with the sewing too. I canât do much, but I can run deliveries or something, right?â Asami put the phone away and picked up her drink.
âYou guys really are the best.â Mai finally relaxed and let herself imagine this wasnât the disaster it felt like.

Can you make a headcanon for the Ikemen Sengoku guys getting jealous due to the MC like flirting with another man? Mainly, Ieyasu, Nobunaga, Masamune, Mitsuhide, Shingen and Kennyo's reactions?
Thank you for this request, anon. Hope you're having a great weekend!
IKEMEN SENGOKU HEADCANONS - JEALOUS WARLORDS (Ieyasu, Nobunaga, Masamune, Mitsuhide, Shingen, Kennyo)
Ieyasu Tokagawa
Did he notice you spending a bit too long chatting with that merchant? No, of course not - Ieyasu does not know feelings of jealousy. He sternly calls your name, stealing your attention from the merchant, reminding you of the schedule you need to adhere to. For the remainder of the shopping trip, he demands that you stay by his side so he can keep a close eye on you - there is no time to waste with worthless chatter.
Nobunaga Oda
How dare that man engage your attention, even for a fraction of a moment, during a party in Nobu's honor! He immediately calls over another servant, and asks her to take over tea service for you. Nobu sees you frown when your replacement informs you of what's going on. He waits for you to make eye contact before waving you over. To his side. Where you belong.
Masamune Date
Is that another man talking to his lass? His hand is on his sword in a gut reaction, he slows his steps down the hallway so as to not scare you by surprise. Is that your laughter he hears? His fingers tighten around the hilt of his sword, ready to bare his fangs and show this other guy who owns your heart. Masamune's face falls when he overhears the man say goodbye, his chance to fight for you love slowly walking away.
Mitsuhide Akechi
Little mouse, are you trying to get my attention by flirting with the merchant? His golden eyes glitter as he watches you discuss the different fabrics, your eyes lighting with a passion he so rarely sees outside of the bedroom. He is filled with curiosity as to what he could do in the bedroom to elicit a similar, passionate reaction from you later tonight. As soon as you are done with your purchase, Mitsuhide whispers to you that this shopping excursion is over, and it is time to return home.
Shingen Takeda
Shingen's brows furrow, his eyes darken as he watches you talk to the guest at the party. He notices your bright smile as you touch this man's arm. Confident that this is just an accidental touch, he continues to watch you as this man doesn't take his eyes off of you. Nor you he. Shingen strides over to you, a smile on his face, ready to introduce himself - as your lover. From there, he will keep a tight arm around your waist, not just to show everyone in attendance that you are spoken for, but because he just can't keep his hands off of you.
Kennyo
His eyes flicker from the flowers he is looking at - is that another man you are speaking to? He listens to you and hears the lilt in your voice - that beautiful, sweet voice that has so often comforted and calmed him, now being spoken to another man. He watched calmly as you engaged this other man in what sounded like innocent chatter. Kennyo smiled as you finished your conversation. His turn would come later that evening in the bedroom when he would make you sing his name. Over and over again.

Envy Leads to Pleasure
I was doing some cleaning in the castle. I could feel my face fixed in frustration. âHey lass, whatâs going on?â Masamune asked.
âItâs nothing.â I replied.
âCould it have anything to do with a certain kitsune?â Masamune asked.
I sighed. âCan all of you tell what Iâm thinking just because of my face?â I asked in frustration.
Masamune just grinned. âHeâs been burying himself in work lately.â He said, stepping closer to me. âItâs a shame really. Should be a crime.â
âHuh?â I asked.
Masamune was getting very close. âNeglecting such a cute lover and letting her be lonely. The work weâre doing is important, but that doesnât change the fact that you need attention too, lass.â
âI canât complain.â I replied. âHe makes time for me when he can.â Yes, I wished we could have more time together.
Masamuneâs fingers soon found their way beneath my chin, turning my gaze to meet his one blue eye. A smirk came to his face. âYou know, you could always take me as a lover. I wouldnât let you be lonely like this.â
I felt my cheeks redden. âUhâŠMasamuneâŠâ What was he thinking?! I lifted my hands to push against his chest, but Masamune wasnât budging.
âI think that is quite enough from you.â
The next thing I knew, two familiar arms were wrapping around me from behind and pulling me out of Masamuneâs grip. I turned my head to look up at my love. âMitsuhideâŠâ
Masamune grinned. âAbout time you show up.â He said. He then looked at me, giving me a wink⊠though could a guy with one eye technically wink?
âYou touch her again and your eye wonât be the only thing youâre missing.â Mitsuhide warned, glaring at Masamune. He was then turning to me. âCome now little mouse, letâs go home.â
âHuhâŠoâŠkay.â I replied, feeling confused by what was going on.
Mitsuhide led me from Azuchi castle and to his own palace, his arm around my waist the entire time. His pace was hurried and his steps were clearly agitated. âMitsuhideâŠ?â
âIâll explain when we get home.â Mitsuhide replied.
We soon reached Mitsuhideâs palace and he made a beeline for our room. As soon as he shut the door behind him, Mitsuhide was pushing me up against the wall and his lips were on mine in a hungry kiss.
âMmmnhâŠMitsuâŠhideâŠâ I moaned between kisses.
âHave I been neglecting you?â Mitsuhide asked as he began to trail kisses down the side of my neck. His hands roaming over my curves and sending tingles of pleasure over my skin even through my clothes. âI have to make up for that.â
I was breathless as Mitsuhide began to delft undo the obi at my waist, my kimono spilling open. âHmm, MitsuâŠhide..â I moaned as I felt his tongue trace along the side of my neck. Slowly he began to kiss and lick along my collarbone. His long fingers roamed over my body, stroking me in my most sensitive of places.
He worked his way down the front of my body, his lips, teeth, and tongue leaving marks over my body. He reached my thighs, kissing over them before lifting and resting them on his shoulders and burying his face between my legs. That silver tongue stroked over my sensitive bud, sending shockwaves of pleasure through me.
âHahâŠMitsuhide!â I cried out as the waves of pleasure washed over me.
Mitsuhideâs tongue moved expertly over my heat, lapping at me before twisting and turning. I was sent over the edge as soon as he brought those long cool fingers into play, slipping two inside me and pumping and curling at the right moment, even as his tongue continued to twist over my clit.
I could feel my pleasure building with each stroke of his tongue and movement of his fingers. âHgnâŠMitsuhide!â I cried out as a powerful release hit me, my walls tightening around his fingers.
Mitsuhide continued his ministrations, drawing out my pleasure, until my body was coated in sweat. Slowly, he withdrew from me, licking his fingers clean before picking me up and carrying me over to our bed. Mitsuhide spent the next several hours, bringing me so much pleasure. He brought me to the pinnacle time after time, over and over again until I was a trembling mess in his arms.
I was panting as I came down from my pleasure high. âMitsuâŠhideâŠâ
Mitsuhide smiled at me, as he lifted a hand to stroke my cheek before peppering my face in kisses. âHow are you feeling little mouse?â He asked, a grin on his face.Â
My body was still trembling. âGoodâŠvery very good.â I replied.
âGood, now let me continue to make you feel even betterâŠâ He replied, slipping himself inside of me. âI know it seems like Iâve been neglecting you for work, but itâs only because I wanted to clear my schedule for you. I wanted to spend the next few days doing exactly this.â
I let out a moan, my body already dangerously close to overstimulation. âMitsuhideâŠIâŠI wasnâtâŠâ
âShh, I know.â Mitsuhide replied, pressing a kiss to my lips. âNow, let me love you, little mouse.â His hand came beneath my chin, bringing my gaze to his. âKeep those beautiful eyes on me and only me.â
It was then that it hit me. Even though he knew I didnât want anything from MasamuneâŠhe was still jealous. âJealousy seems to be a great motivator for you.â I said, grinning at him.
âI have to erase every trace of any man who dares touch you from you.â He replied.
I smiled. âNo one else matters to me.â I said, wrapping my arms around him. âI love you, MitsuhideâŠonly you.â
Mitsuhideâs cheeks seemed to be tinged pink. âAs I love you, little mouse.â He was then capturing my lips in a heated kiss and continuing to bring me the pleasure that only he could.

This is my flash exchange gift for @venulus
Character: Mitsuhide (& most of the Azuchi warlords)
Prompt: Cold Hands/Warm Touches
Title: Snow Daze
Word Count: 700
Warnings: None
Even in winter, it rarely snows in Azuchi. Too warm. Too dry. So when an unseasonable cold spell married the gales of Lake Biwa and they birthed a knee-high accumulation of snow, everyone went a little crazy.
Is it a surprise that a suggestion of a snowball fight was met with cheers?
Is it a surprise that Hideyoshi forbade that dangerous activity?
Is it a surprise that his edict was ignored?
Finally, is it a surprise that this minor rebellion was instigated by Mitsuhide? True, nobody could prove heâd fired the first snowball, the one that hit Ranmaru. Had Mitsuhide realized that Ranmaru would immediately seek revenge? Even if he couldnât predict what would happen next (and letâs be honest⊠he knew), he must have been aware that there would be snowballs lobbed in retaliation.
The next one hit Keiji.
Heâd whooped in appreciation and pitched a Keiji-sized snowball at MasamuneâŠ
By the end of the first day of what would go down in history as the Great Fluff Campaign of â83, everyone in Azuchi had been walloped at least once. Some more often than that. Some (Hideyoshi), after changing clothes three times in one afternoon, gave up on the idea of dryness entirely.
In this midst of these sneak attacks, Mitsuhide mysteriously avoided becoming a victim. It was almost unnatural, a maid remarked to Mai on Day Three of the siege, how he strode through the corridors, hair completely dry, crisp haori fluttering behind him, while everyone else (even Nobunaga) had telltale damp splotches on their clothes. âHe must be a yokai! He shapeshifts out of the way as soon as he senses danger. I wonder if he shapeshifts other times, too?â
That⊠was something that Mai was also curious about, but it was further down on the list after, âcan he really read minds?â âwhy does he tease me so much?â and âwhat would it be like to kiss-.â Never mind.
By the fifth day, when the storm showed no sign of stopping, she speculated that Mitsuhide was not only a yokai, but also one who could control the weather. What else would explain the fact that no matter how often the snow was trampled into the ground or hurled through the air, it always magically replenished itself overnight?
She might not have confronted him, had it not been for the fact that they lost Mitsunari in the snow for a day (Mitsunari was none the worse for his adventure, and hadnât realized he was lost, but even Ieyasu had been worried). Determined to put a stop to the madness, she wrapped herself in her warmest cloak, marched over to Mitsuhideâs manor and pounded on the door.
Though she had practiced many speeches on her way over, Mai lost her train of thought when he opened the door, then stood smirking down at her. âDear me, Mouse. To what do I owe the honor?â
Sheâd never seen him in his informal kimono before, and the sight of that deep v neck hovering open over his sculpted abs was ⊠donât go there. When she finally regained her voice, it was only to say, âStop it.â
âIâm afraid youâll need to be substantially less cryptic.â He stood aside as she stomped into his manor.
Mai waved her hand in the air. âThe snow. Make it stop.â
âIâm flattered that you think it, but I cannot control the weather. Had I that ability, Nobunaga would have already unified Japan twice over.â He set a kettle on the irori. âTea?â
She felt a bit silly as she watched him prepare tea like a perfectly normal human. Then he handed her a cup, his fingers touching hers. âWait! Your hand is cold.â She sandwiched his fingers between hers. âYouâve been inside, just made tea, and your hands are cold.â
âMy dear if you want to hold my hands, you only need to ask.â He picked up her other hand, and pressed both against his chest. âI am often cold. Would you be interested in warming me with your touch?â
She⊠was interested.

Later that afternoon, the snow turned to rain.
Everyone complained about the mud.
