"Looks like it's going to snow." His deep and powerful voice broke the silence in horse carriage.
"I don't get why we have to meet them for the holiday. You have problems with your brother."
"Stop your whining Noh for its already done and they have received a notice of our arrival. It would be very irresponsible of me to go back in my word." The daimyo still kept looking outside as they travel through the countryside. "Besides I think it would do you good to bond with my sister for she use to look up to you when she was younger."
"And yet she ended up with a helpless romantic who can't even lead his men to the kitchen to get a drink of sake."
Her husband chuckled. "Give them a break… it's the holiday."
"Are you feeling alright my love? You sound tired… don't tell me you didn't sleep last night."
"Mmm…"
"Is that a yes or no?"
"Mmm…" he closed the curtain that covered the window of the carriage and looked in the seat opposite to his and saw his loyal page/retainer asleep with his long sword that stretched from the floor to his adjacent side of the carriage resting his head on the sheath of his sword. Nobunaga's favorite Akita, Kyoji, rested his head on Ranmaru's lap. "Can you at least pretend you are enjoying this Noh?"
"What do I get out of this?"
"Don't I spoil you enough?" His voice became more tired and his eyes began to close slowly.
Noh pouted when she saw that her husband drifting to sleep. "Fine… you better attend to my next Noh Drama." She got right up to his face and open his eyelids and he struggled to closed them. "Okay?"
"Uh-Huh."

"What?! No castle!!"
Nobunaga and Ranmaru woke up by the sudden interruption.
"I thought we were going to stay in the castle!"
"Mmm…" He moved slowly to see what she was talking about and looked out the window. "It's called a Shoin."
"I know what's it called! I thought we were going to their castle."
"No… This is my house."
"What?!"
The carriage stopped and they could hear the horses from his army stop and footsteps. The door opened and Mitsuhide looked in and saw the mad expression on Lady Noh's face. "Is everything okay?" Ranmaru walked out first and saw the 1 story shoin structure before him and the small pond to the side. He saw Lady Oichi walking out of the house and followed by her husband. Noh got out of the carriage and then the now fully awake Kyoji. Nobunaga stepped out and had to support himself on the carriage after he was exposed to the sun light. Mitsuhide and Ranmaru quickly reacted by each grabbing his arm. "My Lord is everything alright?"
"My brother…" Oichi reached them and hugged him as Nagamasa hugged Noh. Then when Nagamasa approached Nobunaga was offered a handshake but Nagamasa pulled him in for a hug along with a hearty: "Brother!"
"You look well…" Nagamasa said as he stepped back.
"You lost some weight…" Oichi noticed as his purple and white kamishimo looked a bit loose than usual.
"Mitsuhide, Ranmaru I'm glad you guys are joining us for the holiday." Nagamasa shook their hands and saw that Noh was already wondering. "Is everything okay?"
Nobunaga noticed the direction his brother-in-law was looking at. "Mmm…she is just adapting."
I know it's short but it was just to let everyone know where I might stand and to introduce the idea. This recently just came to me so humor me with your reviews.
