Chapter 1
The first time I saw him, I thought he was crazy running into battle thinking this war between my brother and I was fun and exciting. When fighting him I could have swore he had sympathy in his eyes when fighting, he wasn't even putting up a fight against my attacks merely blocking and not taking advantage that I left myself open many times. I feel angry at this mercy that is being shown, I know that I should be grateful at this mercy being shown but I feel myself not wanting it. I began swinging in blind rage not really paying attention on what I was hitting. My hand slipped from my weapon, I cursed in anger as his weapon was upon me. So this was the end I can't leave Oichi behind yet, maybe I should that would best for her. No more conflict between her and her brother, the last thing I heard before death welcomed me was "Sorry buddy."
Chapter 2
Darkness was all I could see, I can hear birds chirping and the silent howl of the wind. 'So I'm really dead...Wait a second there's light no I must be imagining this' I willed myself to open my eyes but shut them quickly from the sun rays. Suddenly it was dark I opened my eyes back open. "Finally you wake up, I was just thinking of leaving you and find a challenge for today." I looked up and saw him smiling at me "You must be hungry from traveling, so I'll be right back." When he left I looked around me 'I must be a prisoner, what happened to Lady Oichi?' I stood up feeling weird; I looked down at my attire. I was wearing only a hakama, my face heated up. "Umm are you feelin ok?" I looked up again and saw him carrying a bento box "I am starting to think I hit you too hard when I knocked you out." "Wait you knock me out and can you be ever so kindly to tell me where I am?" I tried my hardest not to yell and scream at him. He threw me the box telling me his name "The name's Keiji Maeda, you eat and I'll tell you what happen."
Chapter 3
"Ok here's what happened. I was fighting you I saw you didn't want to be there on the battlefield and you looked like you would be some fun to hang out with, so I knock you upside the head and took you off the battlefield, telling Lord Nobunaga that you're dead. That pretty much it." Keiji said scratching his head. I let go of the box dropping it on the woodened floor. "You took me away from the battlefield because I looked like I would be fun! Poor Lady Oichi having to hear such lies from you and the praising from the enemy army. I'm going to prove those lies wrong!" I vowed standing up looking for my clothes. He grabbed my hand "Did you just hear me I said I told Lord Nobunaga that you were dead." I froze at what he said to me 'That means that Lady Oichi thinks I am dead.'
"So Nagamasa Azai is dead and no longer walks on this earth." I muttered to myself. "Yup pretty much, you have to change your name." He said looking out the window. "And I am supposed to go along with this." I stared at him waiting patiently "Well uh yeah what else are you supposed to do besides travel with me?" "Fine I understand my name for now on shall be Kiyoshi Kishi and I shall travel with you." I took a look at my original attire and sighed 'I won't be able to wear this again or be able to use my weapon that would give me away.' "You don't have to look so depressed, it will be fun I promise." He laid a hand on my shoulder. "Welcome to your new life Naga- no Kiyoshi." I muttered to myself.
