Summary: This story takes place after manga. Kyoshiro, Kyo alive. (Hm, well, may be Kyochiro would be resurrected, just maybe). And one more thing: in the beginning they're all together (the only exception Jyunishinshou (I guess, Ten Brave Warriors of Sanada spells like that)). It's going to be one more adventure, I guess. Well, so here we go…

Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own SDK.

Chapter 1. Good Morning for Yuya

'That's sooooo wonderful morning!' thought Yuya feeling a warm and gentle shaft of sunlight playing on her face…and dazzling her sleepy eyes. She stretched and yawned, it'd surely be a perfect day. Then she looked at her friends. Their sleep was peaceful and placatory. Who would imagine, that they had such a stormy night… Yes, after all it was Yukimura-san's idea, it couldn't be otherwise. She only wondered, how it came to that, that she had to pay all the bills! Even sake and girls from previous night! Those leechers have no shame at all! As a consequence, she was incredibly short of money, and that depressed her greatly. Well, though, she was quite happy, that Benitora, Bon-san, Akira, Kyo and Kyoshiro turned down girls: it saved her so much money! But she was even more pleased, that Kyo hadn't had a girl last night. Yes, she was aware of her own feelings, but hell she'll accept and show them to him!.. The time's passed. It's impossible to turn it back. But still… She unconsciously glanced at the subject of her last thoughts. He was near the window, at his favorite place, and he was sleeping. It's so rare to see the Manslayer of a Thousand sleeping and sleeping peacefully in particular. That's quite a fascinating view. She smiled genuinely. And regretted it the next moment.

-Hey, dogface, how long are you going to stare at me? Don't you see, that there's no sake left? Go and buy me one, woman.

-Ha? Gooooood morning, Kyo! Can't you tell me anything nicer, than that be damned greeting early in the morning? – hissed Yuya through gritted teeth. All her good peaceful mood was swept away. 'But I feel unease. I can't ignore it. Something is bound to change,' she thought, - But okay, you're such a jerk, that there's no other way to show you, that your way is wrong and that people should be kinder and friendlier. I'll go and buy you that damned sake," – she forced herself to speak in a moralizing tone.

-Moreover, Sakuya-san wanted me to buy her… Hm… seems I've forgot, what she wanted… but okay, I'll think of something, - added she in her more usual tone.

With that she went behind a screen and took her time dressing up. She tried to move as quiet as possible not to wake anybody up. And not to make him laugh at her clumsiness. She wondered once again, why on Earth she cared about his opinion, if she knew that it's impossible to change him. When she returned to the main room, she hesitated, should she wake Sakuya-san up to get to know, what she needed. As an answer to her thoughts Sakuya smiled and opened her eyes.

-Oh, Yuya-san… Good morning! You're an early bird, aren't you?

- Morning, Sakuya-san! I'm going out to buy sake. I'm sorry, Sakuya-san, I can't remember, what you wanted…

-Oh, don't worry about it! Would you mind, if I go with you?

Yuya hesitated. She surely didn't want to take Sakuya with her. Who knows, what could happen to her, but still, no matter what, Sakuya-san could be useful...

-The weather is so fine and pleasant, that I want to feel it…

-Um, sure, Sakuya-san!

-Then, may you wait a bit?

- Yeah, sure, take your time. I'm not the one, who wants sake after all, - smiled Yuya teasingly.

While Sakuya'd been changing her clothes, Yuya stayed in the main room and tried to avoid looking at Kyo, She didn't want to meet his crimson eyes right now. She knew that. She wanted Sakuya to come sooner, but… well, she also knew, it's impossible. Sakuya is quite a slow person... And she loves taking care of herself (not so much as she loves Kyoshiro though). So at that time poor Yuya didn't know where to get herself out of Kyo's view. She began as quiet as possible cleaning her gun: she felt that she would need it in a good shape pretty soon. And it always calmed her: reminding herself that it's her brother's gun and that it's not once saved her life, she was really grateful for that… But somehow her nervousness hasn't gone as usual. She would like to know, how he will react, when she… Well, the only thing that's mattered right now, was to get away from here. She wanted to breathe, breath freely… She wanted to forget loads and loads of things. But did she want to forget them? Him? No, that's untrue. She wanted not to get out of here, but out of that damned situation.

Finally, Sakuya stepped into the room and smiled. She was overwhelmed by depressing aura there, but her uneasiness disappeared as soon as she looked at her peacefully snoring beloved. Yuya smiled at her as freely and sincerely as she could. To be honest, she always managed to reassure everyone with her popular smile, even when she was unable to smile from the depth of her heart, it always worked. Everyone believed in her faint-hearted smile, everyone but him, her dear brother. And where is he now? He's gone taking her reason to live, her ever-happy heart with him. It's believed, that he's dead. She saw him dead and talked to him when Nobunaga possessed his body. But she could still believe and hope he's always going to be there with her, right next to her heart, guiding her lightly to the truth and happiness of life. She would always believe that his thoughts always being with her will keep her safe from herself, her nightmares and fears.

-So, shall we go, Yuya-san? – Sakuya whispered not to wake anyone.

-Um, yeah, sure! – Yuya murmured trailing off her thoughts.

She quickly took her gun and purse and went out never looking back. Sakuya was surprised and looked at Kyo, who only smirked. But he was no less astonished and wondered, what's gone into Yuya. Understanding that she could gain nothing from him, Sakuya hurried up and followed her friend.
