What We Should Desire
Chaper one: Sadness At Honnoji, A Vow To Keep
Kyoji was scared as he saw his father's army clash with the alliance to destroy Nobunaga. He was frightened but not for himself but for everyone who was fighting. A gunshot shook Kyoji out of his mind as he saw his father standing over an enemy soldier "Kyoji what do you desire?" Nobunaga, Kyoji's father said, his presence was always so awe inspiring. Kyoji thought a moment, as a young boy he desired many things, but he always loved seeing people smile and said with out even thinking "a world of Smiles and Happiness." Nobunaga seemed to frown at this answer "what folly." He mumbled, Kyoji cocked his head to the side even as the battle raged Nobunaga appeared calm, even with death finally finding him "Kyoji! If that is what you truly desire then you must fight for it, live for it, and die for it! My son, you must leave and find your own way in the world. Make what you desire a reality no matter the cost. "
"But I can't just…." Kyoji was cut off by another shot this time barely missing him. "That was not a request! I will not have my son die before my time!" Kyoji nodded and reluctantly ran; grabbing his twin swords along the way dubbed The Blade of Heaven and The Blade of Hell, Koyji gathered his guards and they left Honnoji.
Kyoji vowed saying "Father, I will make this land, a land of smiles. Just you watch" as he ran, tears filling his eyes he couldn't bare to look back as his guards and him rode from the sadness that was happening at Honnoji
Many years later
Ieyasu Tokugawa had achieved victory and killed his lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi, as he left the battlefield atop Tadakatsu Honda, hearing Mitsunari vow that he would kill him. Ieyasu sigh when suddenly Tadakatsu stopped and almost caused Ieyasu to fall, then the lord of the Tokugawa clan saw what made Tadakatsu stop, a man dressed in all black with a white demonic looking mask was floating in midair. "Lord Ieyasu." The man said his voice sounding eerily similar to lord Nobunaga's "what do you desire?" Ieyasu could sense this man was very different from Nobunaga but he was intimidating none the less "I desire to untie this country with the bonds of brotherhood so that we may never fight again." The man shook his head at Ieyasu's answer as he removed his mask "your desire… will be filled with pain and sadness. My desire shall best yours, Iyeasu, I shall be waiting for you." the man locked eyes with Ieyasu, his green piercing eyes freezing him in place before the man started to slowly descend to the ground his eyes never leaving Ieaysu.
The man landed on the ground safely, when his army approached him "how'd it go, Lord Kyoji?" said Mifune who looked at his lord with worry
"Tokugawa's desire while benevolent is not what I desire" Kyoji shook his head, he ran his hand through his long shoulder length black hair. "How troublesome, we need a base of operations. Have any ideas Mifune?" Kyoji's second in command thought for a moment then said "there are Oda remnants in Kanagasaki led by Oichi, sir" his face appeared troubled though "is there a problem?" Mifune slowly nodded "The Demon queen, Oichi, she has lost her sanity I hear since Honnoji" Kyoji's face hardened "I am going to Kangasaki." His men nodded "alone sir?" one of them asked.
"Yes, we must not alarm them." Kyoji said and took off fly to Kanagasaki, to reunite with his aunt, Oichi and with her create a world of smiles
