Keychain, anybody?
So, for some not entirely inexplicable reasons, while being idle I ended up making clay charms of the names and favorite desserts of the SLBP lords... and turned them into keychain sets.
Now I plan to sell them.
I have almost all of them, apart from Nobu (unfinished), Yasu (unfinished), and Shige bc how do you make a fish asvbjpfcsr
Lookie here!

(Special thanks to @shiranata who helped putting watermarks on them 'cause I'm a caveman when it comes to digital mods lmao)
The size of the charms are 2 to 3.5 cm, teeny tiny things made of airdry clay, handpainted afterward.
Price-wise, they're US$7.5/each and US$14/pair**
The full set of 12 lords counts as 6 pairs.
** You can order whichever you want, like...you want four Masamune keychain? I'll make em for you if you're willing to wait a bit (gimme 8 to 10 days). But if you want the ones ready to be sent today, for now I only have one each.
If anybody wants any of these, send me a message!
Paypal only (idk what else can be used since I'm not from the US) but Imma ship them worldwide via tracked airmail/EMS.
Yeee that's all ٩(。・ω・。)و

Decided to make some home made Strawberry Daifuku, with home made Anko paste. Honestly, my first time making this. The Anko paste took 2 days to make.. but I’m ready to dig in! Do you think Ieyasu would be proud? 😁💕
Here is the link to the recipe if you want to give it a shot! Also, use a cup of the flour (3/4 cup was too little for my huge strawberries!)

“It is an onigiri with seasoned flakes of tuna inside. The flavors are exceptional, of course, but one bite will melt your exhaustion away. It is a comforting, energizing food.”
From “The Ultimate Dessert” Well, Mitsu said it was energizing food but here again I drew him sleeping ;_;

So I just started playing SLBP and I’m loving it. Though, I cannot really join events in SLBP like what I do with my other games because I feel like my wallet will complain.  😞 I might be a free player in SLBP, but if there are items that I really want then I guess there’s always room for adjustments.  😏😏😏 I plan on signing up to Love365′s monthly access pass, since the two new stories Voltage introduced are really tempting to read.  😏😏😏

He was born March 22, an Aries. His age late 20's.  I havent properly introduced him yet but here's a little bio of him: He was born in our humble slbp group in fb by a "let's make an OC art challenge" XD and technically the members participated were all his parents haha! Nine of his features were decided per member and they are the following:
♥is a ninja - by Patricia Montenegro ♥eye colors -gray and aqua by Ieyasu(rp) ♥hair -long and aqua by Shingen(rp) ♥skin color - tan by Melanie Xiong ♥likes sunbathing/napping out in the sun and has a habit of talking out loud to themselves by Sherna Varayath ♥is very afraid of spiders and his name Shujinko Kumo by Brittany Boothe ♥chocolate cake for fave dessert by Isla Maree ♥an introvert and doesn't want to get out as much as possible but has to if it's a mission or if his oblige by Cindell Kwong ♥outfits and accessories by dangodaifuku! 😃 ♥his familiar are black butterflies, perfect for camouflage during night!
also his backstory is tailored by members as well. He is originally from Danming (since Nobu's Act III got released) and he was a slave there as a child(due to their clan's skin color), he then got adopted or saved by someone and later became a ninja.

This is by far the most intense event in ieyasu route. I genuinely need to pause several times because im to scared to proceed the story. Genuinely thought that mc hana would be kill just like in the real history of sengoku era. Im not gonna spoiled too much because i want to let people experience the intense and angsty feeling of this story.
What i can say is this is the first time seeing ieyasu mad like real mad to oda nobunaga it caught me off guard(but we didnt get that ieyasu shriek sprite like in yukimura route 😔 cry) . He is also so sweet to mc, he still have that tsundere self of him but he tone it down a bit and he seems to be more honest to mc Hana. you can see that he is more mature as well. Now about the Mc... i do think mc in this story is okay... But the moment she agree to prepare a dessert to oda i was like " nu uh girl dont do that" bad decision. Yeah but once again im not the one to talk because i would be scare to defy Lord Nobunaga's order too if i were her and i guess its needed for the plot progression.
Overall i like this story event. I live how slbp try to adapt the real event of what happen to Lady Tsukiyama. This story makes me happy, sad angst and other feeling i cant explain. And the humor of the oda clan when they relize that they have been played is funny. Also a pluss for showing us the childhood friend reunion scene, i always happy to see mc hana and toshiee interact( but its to short in my opinion, i also would like to see toshiee reaction to mc hana "execution" but oh well)
Overall 9/10

More Jinpachi stuff!  I started this when I was on vacation back in August, but once I got to the end of where I had handwritten it on the plane, it just stopped.
Fast forward six months (holy crap!), it’s done!  Goes along with the other ficlets I was writing for Jinpachi before that unintentional hiatus.
Jinpachi x Asayumi (slbp mc)
@all-my-cuffs-have-buttons @thanatosbanshee @calicocrest @saizoswifey (if the tag pops up for you XD)
~*~
Had it all been a dream?  Asayumi had traveled to the home of the Sanada to be with Jinpachi, but weeks had passed with little to no interaction with her illusive ninja.
Lord Nobuyuki had placed her in the kitchens to work feeding the voracious clan. She had learned much about the local flavors and spices, as well as food preferences, in the short time since she had arrived.
One day while presenting lunch, Lord Nobuyuki stopped her as she set his tray before him. “I’ve noticed some changes in our usual fare.  Is that your doing?”
“Yes, milord.  I hope it is to your liking.”
Asayumi was nervous because he had asked his question with a deadpan look.  It reminded her of Jinpachi. When she replied, however, a smile lit up his and Lord Yukimura’s faces.
“It’s delicious, my dear.  I thought I caught some familiar flavors.  The tastes from the capitol are more subtle than here, but they certainly add dimension to the heavier flavors of Ueda.”
Asayumi felt pride at his praise and smiled.  “Thank you, milord!  I’m honored you enjoy the food I made.”
“Might I ask you to meet me outside my chambers tonight.  I have a proposition for you.”
She felt the smile on her face fade slightly at the vagueness of his words. “Of course, milord.”
~*~
‘What could this be about?’ Asayumi thought to herself, carrying a bowl of armitsu with her to Lord Nobuyuki’s chambers after dinner service was cleaned up. He hadn’t asked to the treat, but she thought bringing him something sweet would help in case she had done something wrong.
When she reached Lord Nobuyuki’s chambers, she knocked and announced herself.  When she heard his voice from beyond bidding her entry, she excused herself and moved into the room, dessert in hand.
“Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Asayumi.”
“How may I serve you, milord?”
“How would you like to be the Sanada head chef?”
Asayumi paused, her eyes wide. This was definitely the last thing she had expected when he had asked that she meet him here.  At first, Asayumi had thought he was going to ask her to warm his bed. Could she have refused him?  then, she assumed she had done something to get herself in trouble.  He wanted to make her the clan’s head chef?!
“Milord, I’m honored you would offer such a position to me.  But are you sure?  I’m newly arrived in Ueda - surely there is someone more qualified who has lived here longer?”
“How can we progress as a clan if we are unwilling to change? No, I believe you are the best choice for this position.”
The feeling in her chest at his praise during their meal returned. “Then I shall perform my duties to the best of my abilities so as to ensure your faith in my abilities isn’t misplaced!”
“Very good.  Now, I do believe there is somewhere you would rather be?”
She felt her cheeks flush at his implications, knowing exactly what he was talking about. “Yes milord, but I have not seen him in a number of days. I am still new to this castle, to this relationship.  I have yet to pick up on all of his quirks and tendencies.”
“Then you’re in luck.  I have known him since we were children.  You will find him in his room. Two doors down to the left of here.”
“Thank you, milord!” She exclaimed, rushing to the door.  Before exiting, however, she turned back to Nobuyuki. “Milord, I have a question if I might ask.”
Nobuyuki nodded and Asayumi continued. “Where has Jinpachi been?  He didn’t tell me before leaving, which is normal.  I just...”
“.....Miss him.”
“Yes.”
Nobuyuki was silent for a few moments before he replied, “He was in another province.”
Such vague words caused her imagination to run wild.  Anything, from battle to pleasuring another person with his body in the name of gathering information for Lord Nobuyuki, flit past her minds eye. It left a hollow feeling in her stomach that she didn’t like. She quickly offered him a deep bow of respect before hurrying out the door and following his instructions, putting distance between her and the imagery his words caused.
Try as she might, however, the images of Jinpachi with his long limbs wrapped around the body of a woman that wasn’t her, formed as she walked. Of course, they were lithe, beautiful, and experienced.  All the things she wasn’t.   All the things she had seen men fawn over in the capitol. Except Jinpachi. But he had also been off on multiple missions that he never spoke of when he returned. For all she knew the thoughts her mind had conjured were accurate.  The life of a ninja was not their own, from what she had greened - If Lord Nobuyuki ordered him to seduce a woman who had information he wanted, Jinpachi would have to do it.
Asayumi signed at the thoughts running amok in her head. She needed to have faith in Jinpachi.  She couldn’t let her jealousy scare him away. Refocusing on searching for her destination, she was about to knock on a door she assumed was his when a dark shadow jumped out towards her and lifted her off her feet. Asayumi was inhaling to scream when she caught his scent from the person who had their arms around her.  She felt her body immediately relax.
Moments later, the wind rushing past her face stopped and she felt something firm at her back and her front.  When she looked up, it was Jinpachi’s dark gaze she felt ensnared by as he pressed against her, his knee moving between her legs to pin her to the tree at her back.
“You are home!  I’m so glad.” Asayumi maneuvered her arms to embrace him, but he pressed harder against her and propped both of his large hands on either side of her head on the tree. When she looked deeper into his eyes, she saw passion there, but also something else.
But before she could ask him about it, he leaned in and covered her lips in a punishing kiss, taking her breath away. Bruising nips and nibbles, he sucked on her lower lip until she could feel it become puffy and red.  New to kissing she may be, but Asayumi could feel something was going on with him and she wanted to know what. This one felt like he was laying claim to something that was already his.
Reluctantly, she brought her hands to his chest to push him away gently. “Jinpachi, what’s the matter?”
His eyes wavered as he looked at her, his voice a deep rumble when he finally took a breath to speak. “I...you are popular among the retainers. They speak of you often, friendly and otherwise. On my return, I looked for you, but you were gone. I found you coming from my Lords chambers. A darkness came over me. I apologize for how I treated you.”
Jinpachi backed away from Asayumi, unable to meet her eyes. His reaction and words clicked in her head, spelling out a single word she realized she felt directed towards him, too.
Just as he was tensing as if to disappear, Asayumi gripped his dark kimono. “I think what you felt was jealousy.”
“Jealousy?”
Asayumi nodded, not relinquishing her grip on his clothes.  “I was just feeling the same when I thought of Lord Nobuyuki sending you out on missions and I hear rumors that they involve other women.” She hears him inhale to reply and looks up, shaking her head to silence him.  “I know. I need not worry about you - you have proved it a number of times before we left the capitol. But I cannot help what I feel.”
Jinpachi hooked one of his long fingers under her chin to pull her close, placing  a chaste kiss on her passion-bruised lips as if to apologize. Asayumi smiled and nodded, wrapping her arms around his sturdy waist, feeling his heart beating as fast as her own. She silently basked in the fact that someone as amazing as the man in her arms would feel an emotion such as that in regards to her.
She nearly jumped when she heard a deep growl in his chest before she felt him move and push her back against the tree, lifting her up with his powerful powerful arms to wrap her legs around his waist. “I should not have kissed you without permission before. I apologize. May I, now?”
Love for him warmed her chest and she nodded again as he leaned back in to drink from her lips like a man dying of thirst as he pressed her against the tree for support.

Event: Happy Holidays!!
It’s almost December so I want to begin collecting requests for the holiday season! Note that I’ll finish Skool Luv Affair requests when I’m more motivated.
This time (as you can prolly guess), is based around Christmas and the winter spirit!
For this event, please choose one of the following topics along with one character of your choosing (PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP OR TAKING CARE OF THE YOUNGINS IS A OKAY TOO THEY DONT NEED TO BE ALL ROMANTIC)
Warmer with You: The holidays are exhausting. That’s why you and your chosen one have decided to just relax with each other and cuddle up next to the fire place. Sure, Christmas is meant to be spent with others, but there’s something rather nice about it just being spent in each other’s arms.
Havoc at the Mall: There’s absolutely NO REASON WHY YOU TWO SHOULDVE STARTED PICKING OUT GIFTS THIS LATE BUT HERE YALL ARE.
Gingerbread House (cough cough LIKE FOR FUTURE PARENT AUS COUGH COUGH): Decorating and baking with each other is... interesting... to say the least. Does your dessert end up a disaster? Or are the little kiddos master chefs in training?
Sledding on the Snow-Top Hills: A cute trip to the nearby hills ends up with you two deciding to sled down them.
Egg’knockin at the Office Party: it’s your annual Christmas party at your office, and maybe after one too many eggnogs you and your partner are a bit tipsy. Hilarity ensues in only the most embarrassing of ways.
Holidays with the In-Laws: After finally being able to catch a plane to your partner’s hometown, they decide it’s time for you to meet their family. It’s the holidays after all, and it’s a time to be surrounded by family!
Sugar Plum Fairies: Your kid’s (or little kid character of your choosing’s) Christmas recital is going on, and you can’t help but be the proud parent of an eventual star. Whether your partner would agree is up to them, but your shining star is up on stage and you’re so happy!!
Secret Santa: A mysterious “Santa” has been leaving gifts for you on the days leading up to Christmas. Cute little notes are always there, and you can’t help but wish to figure out who is possibly the culprit behind these well-thought out gifts!
Don’t be a Scrooge: you may not be too into the holidays (or your partner, please choose) but that won’t stop them (or you) from making it the best Christmas yet!
Under the Mistletoe: You and your crush are under the mistletoe! And at a party with all of your friends who know about your dumb crush and are watching you intently hoping you finally make the move! What could possibly happen!!
Santa’s little Spies: Your kids (or little kid character of your choosing) is hellbent on seeing Santa. No ifs, ands, or buts! Santa better show his face and they WILL catch him eating those cookies they made for him earlier!
Christmas Morning: OPENING THE GIFTS!!!!!!
For this event, please choose a character from the following series:
Record of Ragnarok (please request I’m dying over here)
GBF
FEH
SLBP
Ikesen
Mystic Messenger
Danganronpa
Hypnosis Mic
JJBA

Gift Hunting – An SLBP Fic
Summary: A certain man's birthday is coming up, so Nobunaga drags Akane to find a gift.  
Characters: Nobunaga and Mitsuhide!MC
Word count: Approx. 2600 words  
Genre: Friendship and humor
Rating: T
A/N: This fic has been in WIP hell for 6 goddamn months!! Part fic, part character study, part extensive headcanon. I saw this post and it cemented my ideal dynamics forever. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is mid-afternoon when Akane runs into him; a tall man made taller by his geta and conical hat, pulled low over his eyes. He holds her steady by the shoulder, and for a second she is close enough to smell him.  
"I apologise for bumping into you," she says as she bows her thanks when she's let go.
"It's alright," he murmurs. The lower half of his face is covered by a scarf even though the weather isn't cold at all.
There is an inkling in the back of her mind that she knows this man, like the pieces of a puzzle she is so close to putting together. The man wears a traveller's robe, but it looks far too clean and new for it to have been used even a day on the road. His steps, while smooth and confident, are also very careful in the way someone inexperienced with geta is.
Akane jogs to catch up to him before he can get too far. "Excuse me, are you perhaps Lord No–" She can barely get his name out before the man grabs her by the arm to pull her into nearest alleyway away from the crowds.
"How did you figure out it was me," Nobunaga hisses. He's kept his hat on, but Akane can see his face now.  
There was a lot she could point out that led to her suspicions, from the robes, to the shoes, to the outright suspicious scarf covering his face, so instead she says, "You smell like castella."
"What."
"You smell like castella," Akane repeats. "I noticed you pacing back and forth outside the kitchen as it was baking, Milord." She leans forward a bit to discretely sniff at his crossed arms. "I believe you're carrying some in your sleeves."  
"So the Puppy's friend is a puppy herself, is she?" Nobunaga says. "Should I have kept you as my poison taster? I’ll have you sniffing out poisons instead of cakes."
Akane very carefully ignores Lord Nobunaga's red cheeks and dropped arms. "I'd rather you didn't, Milord. I'm much more useful to you alive and cooking." She thinks about it for a second, then adds, "Also if I had died, I wouldn't be with Mitsuhide, and we both know how you feel about that."
There is an unspoken understanding between them that Nobunaga finds their relationship, and its subsequent effect on Mitsuhide, very, very amusing. He feels that Akane has, in his words, "loosened the stick up his butt". In practice, all that means for Akane is that Nobunaga is about as supportive as a Lord of a clan is expected to be and then some, and every so often makes complaints that she isn't making Mitsuhide relaxed enough for him to skip work. For her part, Akane makes his desserts extra sweet and drops hints at him whenever Mitsuhide is too busy to take care of himself properly.  
"Anyway, what are you doing in town?" Akane asks. She frowns as she recalls his plans for the day. "No, more importantly, don't you have an important meeting to attend?" That was the impression she got from Mitsuhide, who had spent better part of the morning running around the castle preparing for it.
"Not so important that Mitsuhide can't handle it without me," Nobunaga says. Mitsuhide must be back at the castle now, handling it. It's no wonder Nobunaga is in town without a care in the world; only Mitsuhide can drag him back. Akane glances at his smirk and knows instantly that it is part of his plan.
And she wants nothing to do with it.
I'll just tell Mitsuhide I saw him in town and he can come get him, Akane decides. "Then, if you'll excuse me, Milord."
"And let you tattle to that mother hen? You're coming with me." Nobunaga turns with a swish of his cloak, marching out of the alley and onto the main road without so much as looking back.
May the gods give me strength, she prays.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Their first destination is a familiar bookshop, so Akane heads straight for the cookbooks while Nobunaga interrogates the bookseller for the how-to guides.
She flips through a book of illustrated dessert recipes: a new publication containing recipes for desserts from all over the country, and even a few European ones. Nobunaga would love these, she thinks.
Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Nobunaga pull out several books and flip through them before angrily shoving them back onto the shelf. When he finds one he deems suitable, he stalks over to shove it in her face.
"This looks like this would help in that inane quest of his," Nobunaga says.
Nobunaga had explained, on the way to the shop, that he was looking for a gift for Mitsuhide. He did not necessarily use those words, but Akane had nodded and agreed in all the right places and seen underneath the underneath. Personally, Akane thought Mitsuhide would be happier if Nobunaga wouldn't try to escape his meetings so often.
101 Skits: The Complete Guide to Comedy! says the cover in bold and bright kanji once it's at a reasonable distance from her face. It looks effective enough, considering the smile on Nobunaga's face as he reads a passage.  
There is but one problem.
"I'm sorry, Milord, but Lord Mitsuhide already has that book," Akane says.
"You can't be serious," Nobunaga says incredulously. "It was only published a couple weeks ago."
"It's a recent purchase. I caught him practicing to the garden cats once or twice." And to Inuchiyo and Hideyoshi, but Nobunaga doesn’t need to know that.
Nobunaga's look of absolute disgust is a sight to behold as he returns the book to its original spot. "It's amazing he managed that without any disgusting baby talk."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that." Mitsuhide had made valiant effort to deliver his performances seriously at first, only for his speech to devolve into baby talk the more the cats curled around him. When he got his bearings back, he arranged the cats before him to act as an audience, but even they were unimpressed. Akane witnessed the entire spectacle from behind a corner and redirected passing retainers so he could have his precious moments of practice.
Akane goes back to studying her recipe book, while Nobunaga ignores the  guides in favour of perusing books of poetry. He bribes the shopkeeper's child with castella to bring him his favourites.  
Nobunaga comes back with a deeply unsatisfied look on his face.  
"Nothing caught your attention?" Akane asks, not looking up from the book. She's trying to commit as many recipes to memory as she can.
"Nothing's good enough," he says decisively. Then, noticing the book, "What have you been looking at this whole time?"
She hands him the book opened to a recipe for a European cake with honey. "It's a recipe book for desserts."
"Are you going to buy it?"
"It's a little out of my budget," Akane confesses, "and the ingredients aren't easy to get so I won't have much use for it anytime soon."
Nobunaga flips through the book a little more, stopping whenever a particularly tasty looking dessert captures his attention. He slaps the book shut as if he's made a decision.
"Shopkeeper!" Nobunaga calls out as he waves the book in the air. "I will be making a purchase!."
"Wait, what? You don't have to– I mean, that's not necessary–"
"Don't be mistaken," says Nobunaga, cutting off her protests. "This is for my benefit, not yours. You're just the one making them for me." He grins haughtily at her. "Do you doubt my power? I can get any ingredients in the land."  
Stunned, Akane watches as Nobunaga hands over the money. Is this a gift? Can she accept it as a gift? She didn't consider herself as particularly irreplaceable (especially not to Nobunaga, who could get any chef he wanted), but there is a quiet thrill in her heart at the thought of being important enough to warrant a personal gift, even if he said otherwise.
"Thank you, Milord," she says, only it comes out softer than she intended.  
"Right," he says and –are his ears red? Can't be; that's just his hair– shoves his purchase into her chest before striding out of the store.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They continue hunting for a gift.
"Does this look like him?" Nobunaga asks, holding something that resembles a plate.
"In what way?" Akane asks back. It is a hideous plate. Akane is insulted on Mitsuhide's behalf, but also afraid to hear the answer on the off chance she ends up seeing the resemblance.  
Akane has come to the conclusion that Nobunaga's taste in gift can be summarized in three words: rare, expensive, and if possible, foreign. It's not necessarily bad taste; things that are rare and expensive tend to look aesthetically pleasing, though this plate-like thing is an exception.  
It's just that Nobunaga has rejected each and every item out of hand.  
"Are you sure you didn't want to get him that nice tea set?" Akane asks as they exit the store. Rather than a gift for Mitsuhide, the result of their outing is a recipe book, a new obi pin, and a crate of fresh fruit to be delivered first thing in the morning.  
"Mitsuhide doesn't need another tea set," Nobunaga says. "He's got too many tea cups as it is."
He is, unfortunately, right.
"That doesn't change the fact that you're still without a gift, Lord Nobunaga," Akane points out. "Shall we try one more time before returning to the castle?"
It's nice that Nobunaga is going at it so earnestly. It means he values Mitsuhide too. It makes her want to help him, even when she really needs to get back to prepare for dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Predictably, Nobunaga doesn't find anything that fulfills his mysterious requirements. Too boring, he says. It's ugly, he says. He aims a long contemplative look at a strange jar, before returning it to the shelf with a sigh.  
Now they're sitting across from each other in an expensive tea house where Nobunaga is spoiling his dinner and his dessert. There is a plate of colourful mochi between them to share. They look delicious, but Akane is having mixed feelings about this entire thing.  
While Akane has always been aware of the difference in their stations, and has acted accordingly, she's never been wary of spending time with him, the few times he's asked her to. It's not that Akane is unafraid of Nobunaga, because he inspires a healthy amount of fear in anyone. If she's allowed to be honest, she'd say she doesn't see Nobunaga the same way Mitsuhide and Inuchiyo and HIdeyoshi do.  
And therein lies the difference.  
No one's ever asked, but Akane doesn't care for unification. It's Mitsuhide's dream, and Mitsuhide's dream is her dream, but Akane has never desired anything but a peaceful life without war. It's just that they seem to think unification is the only way. So to her, Nobunaga is less the lord of her clan and more of an employer, and occasionally something like a friend who can kill her at any time without remorse. Does Nobunaga know of her potentially treasonous thoughts? She hopes not, although she likes to think he's a bit more relaxed around her.  
It's a moot point now though, because Akane has decided that she'd follow Mitsuhide into hell if that's what his heart decided to do. And if following Mitsuhide means following Nobunaga as well, so be it.  
That being said, the mochi has nothing to do with her loyalty, but rather...
"If you wanted mochi, Lord Nobunaga, you could have just told me so. I would have made them for you," she says, pouting. She's retained as his personal dessert chef, damn it!
"What are you upset about; I eat everything else you make, don’t I?" He pushes the plate towards her. "Eat the green one; the owner says they flavoured it with something foreign." There are two of each flavour, and sure enough there is a green one left for her. "If you can recognise the flavour, you can ask for the ingredient the next time the foreign traders come. That is what I keep you for, after all."
As expected, the mochi is delicious, and Akane relaxes despite herself. Nobunaga is being unusually kind to her today. Now that she thinks about it, hasn't everything he bought today been for her? The recipe book she was reading, the obi pin she was eyeing, even the rare fruits she's always wanted to try.  
"Thank you for today, Lord Nobunaga. I'm very grateful." And she really is. Not just for the day, either. For Mitsuhide. For Inuchiyo. He is as necessary to them as they are to her. And maybe she's only realized this now, but Akane does like him. Perhaps not in the way Nobunaga expects from his retainers, but she does.
"Hmph. I reward all my retainers who serve me well." He takes a sip of his tea. "You're too easily satisfied, besides."
"Maybe I am," Akane laughs.  
Nobunaga orders another round of tea and sweets, and tells her to choose as she likes, so Akane lets herself enjoy his company, and pretend for a moment that they are simply a pair of friends.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the end, Mitsuhide catches them on the road to the castle, the Hand of Judgement bearing down on Nobunaga's shoulder as he sneaks up on them without a sound. Akane leaps an embarrassing three feet into the air, while Nobunaga shifts into an attack stance.  
"And just what was so important than you ran away from your meeting, Milord?" Mitsuhide asks with only a hint of anger. "We are quite lucky the meeting went well even without you."
"As if I'd expect anything less from my Right Hand," Nobunaga says, rolling his eyes.
It's cute how happy he looks at the praise. "Right, well, did you at least find what you were looking for?"
Akane and Nobunaga share a glance, an unspoken conversation in the split second of eye contact. "I'm not going to tell you," he declares.  
"Lord Nobunaga!" Mitsuhide starts, scolding his liege lord all the way back to the castle while they walk together.  
As their shadows stretch in the setting sun, Akane feels content.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Epilogue
Akane snuggles into Mitsuhide's chest on their shared futon, seeking his warmth. She missed him. Mitsuhide tucks her head under his chin and holds her tight.  
"I'm sorry I went out with Lord Nobunaga without telling you," she begins.  
Mitsuhide squeezes her tighter. "Knowing him, I'm sure he didn't give you much of a choice. And you don't have to apologize; I don't want to be the kind of man who doesn't let you live your own life." He chuckles self-consciously. "But I will admit that I feel terribly jealous."
Akane maneuvers herself until she is on top of him. Now it is Mitsuhide who is looking up at her. "Then, my darling, would you like some reassurance that you're the only one in my heart?"  
"If you please," he breaths as their mouths meet for a kiss, and sets the tone for the rest of the night.
(The next morning, Nobunaga announces Mitsuhide's gift: a week-long vacation, to be accompanied by Akane.)
