A Dragon's Lucky Charm: chp 3

Chapter 3 takes place during episode 3 of the Samurai kings anime. 

I know the Sengoku Basara fandom has gotten smaller so likes, kudos, and comments will be very appreciated and help keep this project of mine going. Thanks and enjoy!

Story summary: Experience the anime series at Masamune's side. A mysterious woman has joined Date Masamune's side. Experience the anime series through her eyes, even as the Dragon becomes infatuated and eventually falling in love with his Lucky Charm.

OC insert into the series.

Reader version will also be available.

Bold is actual dialogue from the anime, caps plus italics is Masamune’s signature English.

Chapter 3

Yume sat on a deck underneath an awning, watching as Masamune practiced with his sword alone in his hakama set. Ever since they returned home, he’s been acting weird. In fact, ever since that incident with Imagawa, he hasn’t been the same. He’s been so quiet.

After standing in that spot in the rain for some time, Masamune returned to Yume at the treeline. He was silent as he approached her and stayed silent as he noticed her pile of sick next to her. Quietly, he mounted his horse and began to make his way back to his army, causing Yume and Kojuro to scramble to their own horses to keep up.

Once reunited with his men, he answered no questions and just ordered them to make their way back to Oshu. He rode silently, Kojuro and Yume flanking him as usual.

“Lord Masamune! Lord Masamune!” Yume tried to get his attention but to no avail. Instead, she turned her attention to Kojuro. “Who was that man?”

“That man was the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga,” Kojuro answered, his voice serious.

“That was Oda Nobunaga?” Yume replied, surprised. Even before joining Masamune, she had heard horror stories about the man. She glanced back over to Masamune before turning her attention back to Kojuro. “What are we going to do?”

Silence fell over the three of them before Kojuro answered. “I don’t know.”

The 48th Kaga-Yuzen New Work Competition

First Prize : Visiting Kimono "Sanshuyu" by Hiromi Yabana

The colors of the space separated by branches appear to be slightly different, and a world of fun is likely to expand from there.

Depth?

So you guys…I dunno if it occurred to you, but….with only one eye, Masamune wouldn’t have had binocular depth perception. A long time ago someone who temporarily had to deal with only one working eye told me a bit about what he’d had to do to compensate. Just picture Masamune going around with his head slightly turned to the right, to compensate for the eye from which he couldn’t see.

On a related note, I’ve done some reading about the missing eye– and thanks to the forensic work that was done with his remains in the 1960s, there’s some measure of clarity about what really went on. I’ll post about it later. Suffice it to say…he was really, really self-conscious (even needlessly guilty) about it.

I might just have to get myself a Hotcook just to have Masamune’s voice yell at me in the kitchen.

The Famous Plum

During the fighting in Korea, Masamune saw a plum tree he particularly liked. In a Chinese poem I find to be painfully overstating the obvious, Masamune said: I went fighting in Korea. I brought back this plum, wrapped in my armor. I planted it in my garden. I think I’ll write a poem about it. By the way, you guys. The tree still exists, and it even survived the 2011 tsunami.
