Chapter 11:
Sakura falling bloom,Yuuhikaresu dawn of dusk.(Sakura series 0.5)
Horror.
That word does not accurately describe how devastated my love looks right now,if a word exists that could make sense of the look he carries on his beautiful brow it is one I do not know.
His katana falls to the ground,all the blood on it from the slain traitor and...
"What happened my love?"
His eyes,it is long moments maybe minutes before he even knows I am here then when he feels my slightest touch on his finger tip does he turn and look at me rather than through me.
I touch the part of his face visible from his helmet,his prickly chin and turn his face back to me away from the fallen beneath us.
"What happened my love?"
I repeat a few times until he takes his katana back from the ground and I start to hear a sound,like a snake in a way and as I run after Naga who is so tall his two steps take me six to catch up with while also I am distracted trying to find where this awful hissing is coming from.
"What son could be so eh?Chose a father that has no love for you and neglected to be a son to the one who raised you because you could not tolerate a slow life for nothing!You are nothing but the son of a no one,a daughter of misery she is and you chose to endure a life serving a death sword master not a father.You deserve this evil on your head boy...."
I look around,wondering if perhaps that very man has arisen yet the only time it sounds louder is when I am close enough to Naga,the sword, in particular.
"Stop Naga please and talk to me!"
We are near the camp now,I am trying to use his size to hide myself, not one member of this small army is willing to give me a moments chance to exist without so much as a harsh glance at best and a beating at most but I have taken more than my share of beatings,violations to not fear them anymore as I do this sight.
He is the only man I have ever loved.
All I had in my life was my father and my caretaker.
But this love I felt on the very first sighting of him and I even surprised myself having no reservation on him after men being the cause of more than a fewer injuries to my person but I felt nothing but safe with him,even giving my body for once willingly to him which he did not take instead choosing to just resting our heads together.
The best and most pure moment of my life.
Now that pure young man who only ever wanted to be the best son but knew he could never be to one father and a willing to do anything to honor an unknown father noble child that I have a bad sense cannot come to pass for my love.
"What are you doing?!"
My love,his scream is like a thunderbolt that shakes me deep.
Bodies are everywhere and the screams are like listening to a clinic after a battle where few had quick deaths rather what I hear is the roar of those that wrongfully died.
The spirit and the blood do not rest here,they will not let me either as I shove my fingers into my ears enough so that I can not hear at all and try to read the lips of my love and the man wearing a shadowed cloak who smiles with bloody teeth and wields a katana that hisses with fury.
"I did as commanded,I have no desire for anything from you except to honor you!Be your son!What have you done and why that you would have me MURDER MY FATHER!?"
I can not see the lips of Nobunaga but I see how the language of my loves body has shifted,what could he have possibly said that would make my love rush forward like a lightening bolt?
How are these men rising up again?
Who is the crimson cloaked woman weeping bleeding tears behind him?
"STOP!"
I cry out.
Those are the last words I am allowed to speak,When my love falls my tongue is taken by Nobunaga who takes my chin in hand,smiling.
"You are too interesting to die,I have a new vision for this traitorous country and you are going to be sure to help a friend of mine succeed.He needs a child and I value his loyalty very much,your power and his gullibility will be a salvation to my plans.Farewell Nichibotsu your fate will become....that is it your new name.He will know you as what I say you should be....Yuuhikaresu.Fitting eh?"
