Author's note: This is my first Fic. I hope you like it. I am also going to mention that since I am not from Japan I am making up lands and towns. I am also not too familiar with the school system to be patient with me. The lands mentioned in my story will be lands from the original providences that the characters are from. This is an a A/U loosely based on the concept of XXXholic. I saw the anime for the first time and it gave me an Idea. This is not a cross over because I am not going to use clamps characters in this just like I will not use all of the characters of Sengoku Basara. I hope you will enjoy.

Chapter one:

"No! I've changed my mind Masayuki I am calling the whole thing off. Nobuyuki sweetie, take your baby brother's things back to his room. This isn't going to work. I am sure we can have him train here! He is safer with his mother." A petite woman with long auburn hair and large dark eyes wailed dramatically making sure the whole household knew her feelings. This had continued for three hours when finally, the man of the house stood up and make the choice in calling a cab after his beautiful wife of 22 years threw his car keys into their koi pond in the back of the home.

"I called a cab dearest he needs to get to the train…." Masayuki started.

"Don't start with that dearest line, have you no heart! He needs us. I am not going to let you take my baby away! It's unforgivable! My sweet Yuki-Chan, as long as air goes through these lungs, I Sanada Ayano will protect you." The woman continued to lament tightening her grip on her child.

"Mother really it's not that big of a deal, he's just going…" Nobuyuki tried to calm his mother, but his voice was unheard when she continued to weep over the injustices of the world.

"Mama I am confused, he isn't a baby, he older then me and you didn't cry like this when I went to camp last summer." 8 Year old Aya chimed in. Her mother did cry but not at this rate and it really scared her that her mommy was this upset. She looked at her other younger siblings who were wide eyed and confused. 'Why would mommy be so upset?' She pondered 'Unless….what if? What if her big brother was never coming back home! This is awful!' Almost as if all the younger siblings could read her mind, they all started to cry clinging to their older brother and mother pleading for him to stay.

"Oh for the love of…Yukimura please talk to them." His father pleaded. He couldn't understand how so many of his own children took after their mother in hysterics. Sure they all took after him in looks, all except Yukimura, who was a male version of his wife. But their temperament was all her. He live in a home full of people who needed to be heard. Only his oldest son seemed to inherit his calm demeanor.

Yukimura was in a dilemma Yes he needed to leave, he has a mission after all. However looking around at all the sad faces, a huge part of him wanted him to stay. there is no way he can leave with everyone in such a state of distress! His father and Older brother were helpless to all the crying that he too began to tear up.

"Now my boy, make the Sanada name Great. Follow Takeda's direction and you will be a great man!" Masayuki said to his son while untangling his son from the mass of limbs.

"I will father I Sanada Genjiro Yukimura will complete my assignment." The young man vowed trying to evade his mother's embrace, but proving once a gain unsuccessful., "Mother I know this is hard but could you trust me. I will be fine. With my training in meditation and martial arts I can defend myself."

"No…..you are too young, your my baby…I can't let you go. You don't know what is out there in the real world." the woman tightened her hold.

"Dearest, you are scaring all the children, let the boy go. We have spoken of this for months now." Masayuki Soothed Trying to placate the woman and children at the same time all the while his eldest child snorted. The father gave his eldest a disapproving glance.

The woman nodded slowly releasing her son and looking up to the youth's eyes. He too was in tears but had a determined look. Like his mother he is an exceptionally beautiful boy, with his heart on his sleeve. He was both emotional and with Bright passionate brown eyes and a naiveté that frightened the whole family time and time again. But that was what made Yukimura, well Yukimura.

"Alright everyone, it's not like the boy is going to war, he is going away to school, like most his age, and he his going to be trained to help him with his gift. Don't worry everyone, he is going to be taken care of. Now the cab is here Yukimura, it's time for you to go." His father firmly said to them. Masayuki reached his son and placed a red headband on the boys head. " Do your best. Son!" he firmly commanded.

"yes father I will. Goodbye everyone! I will write to everyone and will be home during break." Yukimura stated giving everyone individual farewells.

"Hey Yukimura, when you get to General Takeda's house do us all a favor and cut your hair. You look like a girl." Nobuyuki said to his brother. His mother screeched at the whole idea and decided to reprimand her oldest the best way she could. Yukimura smiled quickly hugged his brother and got into the cab while his mother was distracted.

As the taxi drive off, the woman let her prey go and sadly spoke to her husband eyes not leaving the vehicle. " Masayuki, are you sure this is the right decision? He is really too inexperienced in the outside world. He is never been around anyone but his sensei's at the dojo's and his family. He's so sensitive and too gentle. And what he gets those dreams, or if spirits try to.."

" Don't worry The head band will give some protection until he gets to Shingen's home. He needs to grow Dearest. I don't see any other options. He is getting stronger, and we can't keep him here, he is meant to do this mission, from birth." Masayuki said to his wife.

"Yuki-chan please be safe." His mother

Takeda Shingen was astounded by his newest charge. Never had he felt such a powerful aura from someone so young. Sure if you weren't careful you would think the boy was frail, but watching his walk and how he carried himself, you could tell he was strong in both body and spirit. He went over the young ones skills and hobbies and learned the boy excelled in Kendo, Karate and jujitsu. With approval Shingen gave Yukimura a schedule for him. The boy was excited to fight at his dojo. Though in his own opinion he thought the boy was too enthusiastic.

Whiled his talents impressed the formal general he was very disappointed in the boy's upbringing. The boy is due in school in a week and he had to teach him how to live in today's world. Did the kid live in a bubble his whole life? Did his family own a television? Sure the boy had excellent manners, but he spoke a little too formal for his taste. He felt like he was an Feudal Lord around the boy. But before he would discuss the boys mannerisms, he wanted to talk to him about his appearance.

"Yukimura, you don't have to wear your hair long, in fact if you like, we can take you shopping and get your hair cut and styled." He calmly said trying to make a hint, but at the same time making it sound like casual conversation.

" In all due respect Your Lordship, I have learned that Samurai grow their hair long. And they cut their hair only when they are either exiled or leaving to die in battle. And this suits me. Though I am not a Sammurai, I am on an important assignment, my hair is a constant reminder of my assignment. Besides it reminds my of my mother and home. No, I will keep my hair as is." Yukimura respectfully replied and bowed at his knew master but added. "I do have some money so getting new clothing would be ok." Shingen harrumphed and when on showing the boy the grounds of his future home

Later that evening, during dinner Shingen said "Yukimura, You can call me Shingen, you are in my home after all and I am your God father."

"I could never thing to do that Lordship, You are the Takeda Shingen, who retired from being a general in The armed forces, and now you own one of the grandest dojo's in all of Kai. Not only have my father served under you, but My brother was a student in your dojo. It is a grand honor and privilege to be here." was the boy's polite response and Shingen gave up.

The boy before him was a walking contradiction. He expected the boy to have the power build of his father Masayuki and his brother Nobuyuki, however this boy while average height, had a small compact build. He shrugged it off giving him a scheduled for him to It didn't help in the boy's favor that he had huge child like eyes or that he decided to wear his hair long with a low ponytail. All in all the one word describes the boy to a tea. Hopeless.

"So you want me to baby-sit some country kid? What's wrong with him? You know I have a lot of things I have going on." Saritobi Sasuke asked. Sasuke didn't meet the new addition to the family, for he was out with friends, so when he got home late, he was surprised to see that Shingen was up and waiting for him. He knew that Someone was staying with them, Shingen had a habit of opening his home to anyone, this was the first time that he had to do anything for them.

" Nothing is wrong with him. He is a little sheltered and this is a big city, he gets a little distracted, he could get lost. Sasuke he goes to the same school as you do. It would be convenient for you to walk him to school. That is all you have to do." Shingen asked his adopted son of 10 years.

"Great can't wait to meet this kid." He replied before yawning. Nodding goodnight to Shingen.

"Hmm I can tell things will not be the same. " Shingen said aloud to no on heading to bed himself.

I hope you enjoy this first Chapter.
