Chapter One:

Oda's Vengeance

Whimpers could be hear at the former castle Nagoya castle. The body of Nobunaga, headless, and nothing more than bones had laid there as a young person had bowed over it. The last person to be seen in this castle was Lady Oichi, someone Yukimura had met when he discovered that the grave had been tampered with. It appeared to be a young boy, obsidian-hair pulled into a ponytail, amber colored irises had been blocked off from the world. He was adorned with a red Hakama and pants and a black haiori top, seemingly burnt in some places. "Father, I have failed you." Was the only thing that he could muster to say, disappointed at himself that he could not save his father. How could he have not of known? Why did his father sent him off to Europe? Maybe because in someways the man knew that the end was near and he didn't want the boy around to witness it. Although his father was confident, more so arrogant, and believed that the world was in the palm of his hand, he could never be too sure. That's why he had not known for so long the death of his father, of his stepmother, and his missing aunt and dead uncle-in-law. Things have changed dramatically since he left and what was there left of him to do? To find his aunt and to restore the Oda clan, that had to be the only way.

"Amaterasu?" an eery sound voice had echoed around the roofless castle, causing the boy to jump back. The sound of armor had became closer as well as the voice steps, "Ama...terasu?" said the voice again, the moon now revealing a woman of pale skin and long, black hair.

"Oichi-sama?" the boy said, eyes wide before he ran towards toward the woman, embracing her.

"What are... you doing here?" Her soft voice had broke him out of his gaze and that's when he noticed that something wasn't right with the woman. She looked like a walking shell, completely devoid of life. Her voice and her eyes had revealed such a depression, such loneliness. What had happened since he had left?

"W - What happened to you, oba-san?" He asked, his eyes showing concerned and even fear.

"I wasn't able to save... onii-sama." Oichi cried, falling down to her knees as the dark aura continued to circle around her, "onii-sama..." she said softly, Amaterasu trying to help her up.

"Have you met other Oda followers?" Amaterasu asked her as she had nodded her head slowly, "Let's go back to them. Let's restore what chichi-ue has lost, oba-san." he said, his eyes showing much determination and hunger for revenge.

Oichi had looked up, a smile gracing her face and it was still a sad one. "Let's... do that."

And with that said, Oichi had groggily stood up and lead the young boy toward the large group of followers who were still grieving for the loss of their Damiyo. When they had saw her, they immediately gotten to their feet and before they could even greet him, he had raised his hand as a sign of no greeting.

"I have decided to pick up where my father has left off. For now, we'll remain a secret. I will work under the enemy and make a name for myself, but you all will be getting every castle that once belong to my father and say you are working under a new leader and his identity shall remain a secret. Have you understood my plan?" He asked, his eyes scanning over them all.

They all stood up and raised their arms in a fist pump, "Hai!"

"When... will you return, My Lord?" Oichi asked as the young lord as he took the sword from the rack and placed it in the sheath that rested on his left hip.

Amaterasu had turned to look back at her and gave her a small smile. "When you all have grown stronger, oba-san. We need a strong army, without a foundation, there is no path." He said as he walked toward the door but then stopped. "Tell me, who killed him."

"Sanada and Date, My Lord." Oichi answered, her eyes trying to reach what was on his face.

Amaterasu's hands clenched, her knuckles turning white as they shook. "So, it was them. I think Takeda would be more of an easy feat then Date."

"Be careful..." Oichi said as the door had slid close, leaving her all alone with the rest of the Oda supporters.

"We have an intruder, Lord Takeda." said the ninja as he had dragged the bound hand and legged boy across the wooden floors and into the meeting room before throwing him before Shingen, the body rolled and then came to a halt as the bound and gagged boy squirmed around.

"Who is he?" the Damiyo asked, his fist against his face and an eyebrow

Sasuke then scratched the back of his head, "Uh... I don't know." He took the cloth off the boy's mouth as he coughed.

He then looked back and forth at them, "My name is Kurosaki, Amaterasu."

"And why have you come to my lands?" Shingen asked, "More importantly, what are you doing coming to my castle late at night?"

Amaterasu narrowed his eyes and tried to contain her anger, "I requested an audience with you several times but it kept being denied!" He quickly thought up, looking the Damiyo straight in his eyes as he said so. The Tiger of Kai merely blinked twice, bewildered. "Also, I wanted to join the ranks of the samurai, I want to protect my family from the bandits that keep attacking."

Of course he was getting carried away with the lies after lies, but it was the only way he could show that he was genuine. He had his head toward the floor, slightly kneeling before the Damiyo. "That's a very bold move, young man." Shingen informed him before standing from his chair. The boy had clenched his teeth, nearly fearing what was to happen.

"He shall join our ranks, but he will be a student of young Yukimura-san." said Shingen as Sasuke folded his arms.

"Boy," Sasuke grinned, "Yukimura-kun is gonna love to hear this."

Amaterasu had grinned with his face down on the floor, his plan was working. All he needed to do was keep his real identity under wraps.

It was the next day when they had brought Amaterasu to Yukimura, allowing him to get a lot of rest so that he would be able to focus on training. It was quite easy, in his eyes; he had even gotten to this point. Why had Shingen believe him so easily? Did he have another plan up his sleeve? He was weary of this training session and he had kept his hand on the hilt of his Katana the whole time, thinking that someone or something was going to outright attack him. Maybe it was all paranoia, but who wouldn't be paranoid having such a straightforward act like this. When Yukimura was finally in view, waving and giving Amaterasu a friendly smile. The boy merely glared at him, fearing that his paranoia wasn't out of control. "So, you're going to be my student?" Yukimura asked as Amaterasu gave him a dull stare.

"Do I really have to answer?" He asked his voice flat and unenthused.

Yukimura had blinked twice out of confusion and then gave a nervous smile, wondering if he had made a mistake already. It was quite obvious that the younger male wasn't as excited as he was and he wasn't sure why. Still, maybe he should take this whole thing with a serious expression of he wanted to be able to teach his student. "Alright… Well, do you know how to wield a spear or fight well against one?"

Amaterasu shook his head, "Neither."

"Neither? Well, looks like you're going to learn Sojutsu!" Yukimura said excitedly, not really taking his idea into consideration now that he had managed to get a challenge.

"No. I want to only use my sword." Amaterasu fired back. Grabbing onto the hilt tightly as his eyes had glared at his new teacher.

"…B – But…" stammered the red-clanned samurai as the boy turned away and folded his arms.

A sigh escaped the student, "I don't even know why I have to go through all this. I want a different teacher."

A frown graced Yukimura's face, "We can work something out."

"I doubt it." Amaterasu said, starting to walk away and as he did so, Shingen had walked towards a frustrated Yukimura.

Shingen had placed his large hand on the younger samurai's shoulder, "You have to show your skill. How about we stage a fight between you and Sasuke? His respect for you will grow and then training should be less than a bumpy ride."

Yukimura had looked up at his lord, his brown eyes brimming with excitement. "That should work!"

"Of course it will!" Shingen then whistle, the ninja suddenly appearing before them.

"Yes, My Lord." Sasuke said, his head lowered and on one knee.

"We're going to fake a fight between you and Yukimura to make Amaterasu see that he a strong samurai that deserves his respect."

"Get away from me!" shouted Amaterasu, causing the three to disregard their plan and head toward the sound of the noise.

Amaterasu had his sword pointed towards the samurai's neck, his eyes burning with an intensity of hatred. "Why are you here?"

"I could ask you the same thing." The man replied with his arms akimbo and his one, iceberg blue eye boring into the boy before them.

When the three arrived, they had watched the scene before them in confusion. "M – Masamune?" Yukimura stammered in shock, "What are you doing here?"

"Came by to tell you some news personally." The one-eyed dragon said, releasing a sigh. "Who is this?"

"That's my new student, Amaterasu. Was he causing you some trouble?" Explained the fire samurai as he walked toward them, but Kojuro stopped him.

Amaterasu turned around hastily, glaring back at Yukimura. "How could I be causing him trouble? I didn't do anything to him! He bumped into me and didn't even apologize for it."

"I didn't want to." Masamune shrugged his shoulders, "You should have been watching where you was goin'."

The younger boy beamed with hatred, "How about we settle this man to man?"

"Ah," the one-eyed man grinned, "You wanna fight?"

"I sure do." Amaterasu answered, his tone as hot as fire.

This is my first Sengoku Basara story! Hope I didn't disappoint and it is short, but that's because there's much I want to do in the next chapter.

Also, this before Sengoku Basara II.
