Disclaimer: Hey everyone! I'm back with my new Samurai Warriors 3 story, Bitter Love. I'm sure you remember my "The Raven of Oda" one-shot, right? Well this is what happens after that one-shot. I do own any of the Samurai Warriors characters, as much as I wish I owned Motochika. I only own Kaya, the Raven of Oda.
Kaya was crouched beside Ranmuru in front of Lord Nobunaga and Lady No. She waited in anticipation for the battle at Kizugawa. Fortunately, Ranmuru broke her out of her thoughts.
"The Chosokabe Navy has arrived as reinforcements." Ranmuru said.
"This will enable us to appose the Mori." Kaya added.
Nobunaga chuckled before asking, "Something wrong?"
"No, my Lord." Ranmuru said immediately. "I just have a bad feeling about this."
Kaya looked down towards the Navy and quickly made a decision. She excuse herself before hurrying down to stand beside Mitsuhide. She then began to take in the sight of the man who was Motochika Chosokabe. The man himself was playing his shamisen. Motochika had black hair that was dyed white and blue in some places. He had quite a bit of muscle and looked to be an acceptable fighter.
"Lord Motochika!" Mitsuhide exclaimed as he ran forward.
Kaya simply walked behind him, wanting to see if Motochika was trustworthy. Motochika looked down at them and he stared at her before smirking. Mitsuhide exclaimed, "Thank you for coming!"
"Forget about it Mitsuhide." Motochika brushed off the thanks. "I would not let you down." He jumped off his boat and in to the water.
"I had faith that you would come." Mitsuhide said as he began to walk forward but stopped as water came close to touching his feet.
Kaya decided she wanted a part in this conversation and asked, "What's the matter Mitsuhide? Don't be alarmed. You'll only get your feet a little wet." Kaya stepped in to the water and was soon in front of Motochika.
Mitsuhide merely stared at her for a second before sighing and walking to stand beside her. Motochika flashed his signature smile and said, "That's it." He then turned to Kaya. "I presume you are Lady Kaya?"
"And I presume you are Lord Motochika?" Kaya responded.
"You would be correct." Motochika smirked. "It is an honor to meet you."
"The same to you. I hope you will be a great asset to the coming battle." Kaya said as a smirk formed on her face.
Motochika smirked and said, "That will not be a problem."
And that was the beginning of a friendship that would last through history.
Nobunaga Oda, mightiest of the eastern warlords, was well on his way of conquering Japan. With the east firmly in his grasp, he soon turned his attention to the west. A group of rebels had joined the forces of Motonari Mori in an uprising at Kizugawa. Nobunaga moved swiftly, dispatching his troops to crush the insurrection.
Among Nobunaga's forces was Lady Kaya, a general who earned herself the title Raven of Oda and Motochika Chosokabe, the renowned warrior of Shikoku.
Nobunaga's general, Mitsuhide Akechi, had specifically requested Motochika's aid in subduing the rebels and Motochika was more than happy to oblige. Kaya could only hope that Motochika was really fighting for the Oda cause, or simply waiting to stab Lord Nobunaga in the back.
"If Lord Nobunaga is betrayed, I will not hesitate to cut Motochika down."
"Chapter 1: The Battle of Kizugawa!"
"Well then, let's have a bit of fun, shall we?"
How was it? I did my best to keep everyone in character and try and make it seem good. We're following Motochika's story mode because at first I was doing Mitsuhide's but I remembered Motochika died in his story mode. Kami, why did that happen?! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. I'm out!
