"Saizo!" A blue haired woman giggled then jumped onto the black haired ninja.

"Get off me woman!" He yelled trying to push her off however she continued to cling to him.

She giggled then wrapped her arms around his neck so that her face was against his cheek. The Iga ninja felt a light blush appear on his face and eventually he gave up the fight to get her off him. He sat down on his futon with the priestess sitting next to him and her arms still holding him in a headlock. He sighed and then watched as two figures walked into the room.

"Good morning Saizo, Isanami, I see you two are very lively this morning."

"Yukimura-sama! Rokuro-San! Good morning." Isanami jumped off Saizo and bounced over to the two men standing by the door.

Yukimura patted the girls head softly and she smiled then turned to the dark haired man standing next to the Uedea lord. Rokuro held his injured arm close to himself and his eye was still covered in bandages, the priestess looked at the injured scribe her eyes filled with worry.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better thanks…" Rokuro smiled at the worried girl.

Isanami's smile grew bigger and she began to chat with the two men. Saizo watched her continue to converse with the Uedea Lord and the scribe. He felt his muscles tense under his shirt and irritation starting to build.

"Why is she acting so friendly with Rokuro? I understand Yukimura-Sama but why the dumb scribe? She never talks much with him…" Saizo grumbled. "She always sticks to me anyway."

He quickly pushed himself onto his feet and stood up, he then turned towards the door to walk away however he was stopped by Yukimura.

"Saizo we need to talk… It is important," Yukimura put one hand on Rokuro's shoulder and nodded.

He then turned to Isanami and bent down, he whispered something in her ear and then she went rushing out the door into the hallway.

"Come Saizo," He said then walked towards his chambers

The three men slowly walked down the hallway towards Yukimura's room. Saizo felt the air something wasn't right, Rokuro had a strange look on his face and the ninja could tell that Yukimura was very tense. They arrived at the chambers and Rokuro opened the door. Saizo then followed the two in and walked over to the cushions that had been set out on the floor.

"Sit," Yukimura motion to one then sat down himself.

Saizo slowly sat down and looked towards the Uedea Lord.

"Something is really not right," He thought.

Then Yukimura handed Rokuro a letter and then scribe walked over to the ninja and placed the letter in his hands.

"Please read this please."

Saizo slowly opened the letter and began to read.

Dear Yukimura Sanaka,

I hear you have a very precious treasure living in your home. I remember that it is very powerful, very delicate and also as beautiful as a flower. I would like to see it again and maybe you could hand it over to me. I will take very good care of it, no I want the Kushi-mitama! Not that lovely little trinket that she wears, but the girl. Her power is wasted on a man like you.

Saizo's eyes grew wider and he could feel fear crawling into his heart.

I will give you two choices one to either hand her over without any conflict or two you can fight against me. However your castle will be burned to the ground in the process. Either way I win and she will be mine. You have sometime to think about it, I will give you a month to say your goodbyes and no more. I hope you choose wisely.

-Date Masamune

Saizo could feel his hands shaking, he crumpled up the letter and threw it across the room.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" He yelled "Are you kidding me! We just finished a battle and Isanami was just becoming herself again! Now this!"

Saizo felt pain in his chest grown when he thought of Isanami in that situation once again. Her crying in the darkness blaming herself for not being able to protect her friends. He didn't want to see that. She wasn't some god of darkness only human maybe an annoying, clinging, loud human but still human.

"She doesn't deserve this! That kind of power shouldn't be pushed onto someone like her! "

Saizo slammed his fist down onto the floor.

"DAMN IT! WHY HER?"

Yay chapter one is done! I will try and update when I can!
