'One Way Or Another' - Blondie. Is responsible for this...
First proper story on here! I hope you enjoy it! Summing it up it's a modern day Sengoku Basara romance fanfic with multiple pairings! ...what else would it be...xD Yah, I know it says humor but everyone's different in the sense of the word...besides it wasn't meant to be too funny anyway...
I should warn you that I'm slightly strange and half of what I write probably won't make sense...AH WELL! Enjoy! Btw...contains mild yaoi...not much in this chapter...but I guess you have to put a warning?
Chapter One
"Come on Yukimura! Gimme your best shot!" yelled the one-eyed boy taking up a fighting stance.
"I will give you no less than my very best!" the brown haired boy shouted back, before dashing forwards towards the other.
Sasuke smiled, resting his head in his hands as he watched his best friends once again engage in a fight. It happened almost every day that they walked back through the park, it was becoming routine. He watched as Masamune flew at Yukimura with his fist, which he parried and landed a roundhouse kick on his rival, sending him skidding backwards ruining the clean cut grass. Undeterred he simply jumped back up again and was already moving, with a focussed glare on his face. Yukimura took their fights so seriously…to Sasuke it seemed really cute.
But honestly he really didn't see the point, it was always roughly the same result. They would always call a tie or take it too far and have to be split up by himself or Kojuro.
Sasuke smiled to himself leaning back on the bench looking up into the blue sky wondering when Kojuro was going to show up. The guy seemed to have a built in GPS that would always bring him to Masamune whenever he got into any street fights, so he would probably be here soon…not that Sasuke would mind…the truth was that Sasuke just couldn't get enough of the guy. He didn't try to hide it, in fact he was quite forward about his feelings, trouble was that Kojuro never truly accepted them. He would just get a sarcastic comment if he said anything and a sharp punch if he dared try to do anything with him…however Sasuke had long since decided that it was worth it.
He blinked suddenly in shock as a butterfly flew directly in front of his eyes, day dreaming he held out his hand and the butterfly slowly fluttered down and landed on his finger. Fascinated by the winged insect on his hand, he started to day dream…
Yukimura staggered back out of breath panting causing Date to grin smugly, "That all?" he added mockingly between breaths. The younger looked up determined before rushing in one last time throwing a punch aimed for his rivals jaw, which was deflected and returned with an ankle kick, that too was dodged with a small jump from Yukimura. Growling under his breath he aimed another fist for Date's face, which was caught in mid-air as the one-eyed boy leaned in still grinning. Using his second hand he once more threw a punch for it's mark one last time, which was caught once again by the same opponent.
A heated glare was returned by an amused smile, frowning in frustration Yukimura tried to move his fists which were securely held in place. "…give in?" Masamune questioned raising an eyebrow, "Never!" he pouted struggling to move his fists again. Suddenly Yukimura felt a pair of lips on his own, he froze in shock at the actions of the other, then the soft lips vanished as quickly as they'd appeared, using the others confusion to his advantage Masamune grabbed hold of Yukimuras arm twisting it behind his back and forcing him to the floor. "Looks like I win…" Date whispered softly, warm breath tickling his ear. Still confused about the kiss Yukimura's face was dusted slightly pink, "Y-you cheated!" he protested, getting up once Masamune had let go of his arm. Date shrugged, "I didn't know there were any rules" he stated, Yukimura looked to the ground wondering why the hell his rival had just kissed him…after going through a short deduction process he decided the most likely reason was so that he could gain victory over him and meant nothing more… "Still…I'm not done just yet!" and with that he pounced on the one-eyed rule-breaker once more.
"Sasuke!", Sasuke's head snapped round at the sound of Kasuga's voice as the butterfly spread it's wings and took off. She was walking towards the bench hanging onto Kotaro's arm, the two were like brother and sister and in fact Sasuke felt the same way about them too. "What're you doing here?" she asked looking suspicious. "Just some training…" he said nodding towards the other two. "Tch, will those two ever grow out of that?" she sighed shrugging, Sasuke laughed, "About as likely as you giving up on Kenshin I should imagine".
Kasuga got bored of standing up, dragging Kotaro to the bench and moving to sit next to Sasuke, leaning her head against his shoulder. "Those two really are something…" she said watching a small crowd of kids from school form around the two who were still fighting. "Mmhmm…I keep wondering when Date's finally going to ask him out…" said Sasuke smiling, "I mean it's so obvious, everyone can tell…apart from that dim-witted fighter over there" he finished nodding towards a tree which Yukimura had just been knocked into. Kasuga giggled, "Well I think that it's really cute", Sasuke rolled his eyes "Everything involving Yukimura is bound to be cute, he's just like a giant puppy…"
"Hmm?" said Kasuga noticing someone out of the corner of her eye, "Oh my! It's Kenshin!" she said her face already melting into dreamy happiness as she saw Kenshin walking down the path alongside Keiji. Noticing his 'sisters' reaction Kotaro silently looked up too, seeing Keiji he smiled too.
"Quick! Do I look OK?" hissed Kasuga running a hand through her short fringe, "You always look beautiful…you know that" Sasuke replied sticking his tongue out. Kasuga frowned with a small smile on her face, before standing up and walking over, with a slight bounce in her step, to Kenshin and Keiji dragging Kotaro with her.
Left alone again Sasuke looked up as a shadow fell on him, "It's not fair…" muttered Yukimura, picking up his shoulder bag off the bench.
Sasuke tilted his head confused, "He cheated…again!" replied Yukimura clenching his fist causing Sasuke to chuckle, "What did he do this time?" he asked amused.
"Well he-" his explanation was cut off when Masamune approached from behind and put his hands over his mouth, "Didn't cheat at all. I won fair and square!" he finished for him, as Yukimura tore his hands off his face. "Liar!" he pouted again, punching Date in the arm before turning round and walking alongside each other down the park path.
Sasuke grinned as he heard footsteps approaching behind him, he leaned his head back over the bench and looked up at Kojuro "Took you long enough". Kojuro smiled slightly at the upside down face of Sasuke, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I see you managed to solve it on your own…" he replied referring to the friendly match between the other two.
"Yeah, good job I'm here to look after our kids, huh honey?" he replied still smiling, "…so now they're our children?" Kojuro said slowly. Sasuke nodded, "Shame they're adopted…one day I think we should try for some of our own…" he said running his tongue over his upper lip. Kojuro mesmerised by the others lips for a second, shook his head and frowned, "You're one messed up guy Sasuke…"
Sasuke grinned before jumping up off the bench and linking arms with Kojuro following after their 'Children'.
"Ah, hello Kasuga!" Kenshin smiled warmly, seeing her approach with Kotaro, "And Kotaro too…" he said nodded to him. "Hey Kotaro!" Keiji said giving him a small wave which was returned by an innocent smile, Keiji grinned back and put an arm round his shoulder. "Come on, let's give these two some privacy" he said winking to Kasuga, Kotaro just nodded and followed him towards the swings with the same smile still on his face.
Kenshin moved over to Kasuga, linking arms with her even with this tiny amount of contact Kasuga found herself blushing. "Is there something you wished to talk about Kasuga?" he asked calmly. "Actually there was something…" she said as they walked side by side along the gravel path, "…I was wondering if you could help tutor me in maths…if it's not too much to ask! I'm just struggling a lot lately and you're one of the best mathematicians I know…it's okay if you don't want to…" she said admiring him out of the corner of her eye.
"You know I'm always more than happy to help you Kasuga, I will assist you in passing your maths exam as I have some free time on my hands. You're free to come round to my house whenever you choose!" he replied happily. Butterflies exploded in her stomach 'Yay~! My plan worked! FREE ACCESS to his house~!' she said to herself happily grinning to herself. "Thank you so much, I promise I will repay you for this someday!" she said delighted, Kenshin turned and smiled at her "That is a day I shall look forward to Kasuga…" he said softly causing her to blush again and turn away as his hand wound down and locked fingers with hers.
"So Kotaro, how's life been lately?" Keiji asked pushing Kotaro on the swings. He didn't get a reply…not that it mattered, he knew he wouldn't get one in the first place. But something about talking Kotaro made him feel more relaxed.
"I know, not been much to do lately…Oh! Have you heard about the new student transferring into our year?" he said pausing to think, "I've heard that she's coming from a private school, that she got kicked out for bad behaviour…surprisingly though her grades are incredibly high!" he reasoned, waiting for the impossible response from Kotaro.
"I wonder what she'll be like…a snob probably, judging from the school she's coming from?" Keiji stopped pushing Kotaro and went to sit on the swing next to him. "Maybe we should ask Chosokabe about her…apparently they have connections with each other…" he said, looking up into the sky, but was distracted when Kotaro jumped off the swing and into that certain section of sky. Keiji blinked a few times, "…I could've sworn you just flew…" he said looking at Kotaro unsure of himself, Kotaro smiled again, a rare emotion to anybody else but to Keiji his smiles were the things he used to communicate. Keiji chuckled, "I know…I need to get my eyes checked…"
"Oi Kojuro!" Masamune yelled back to his brotherly figure, "We're crashing at Yukimura's tonight!" he declared, this was quickly followed up by a complaint from Yukimura; "Only if Oyatakasama says it's okay!"
"Ooh, slumber party…sounds like fun!" said Sasuke amused at the fact Kojuro would be sleeping under the same roof as him. "What you just said was incredibly camp…" Kojuro rolled his eyes looking away. Sasuke stuck his tongue out ignoring the others comment, "Wanna sleep in my room? You can even share my bed if you want…" he trailed off smiling, mainly to himself.
"Tch, maybe….maybe not…." Was the reply, "I'd feel slightly uneasy being in an enclosed space with only you for company" he retorted. "You know you'd love it really Kojuro…sharing the same bed….same sheets…..and I'm pretty sure we could share lots of other things too…" he said putting his hands behind his head. Kojuro rolled his eyes, "It won't work monkey…give it up…".
"Ahh, don't worry Kojuro, one way or another…" he said ramming his hands into his pockets, seeing how Kojuro kept his eyes on him from the corner of his eye. 'One way or another Kojuro…you'll see…'.
