Thank you for taking the time to come across my page. This will be a story a bit more detailed then the "Shall we Date" series that you can find on the App Store. (Mines Play Store).. I became addicted to the game, started doing research and trying to figure out how they originally wrote the story.. I was quite surprised that the named of the clans were in fact, real clans from Japanese history.

I am not here to educate others on the history.. Just wanted to add more flavor to the story. If you are looking for a completely different spin off, please stop now. :)

Without further ado. I shall try to write as best as possible! Please be aware that I will try to stick to the story that is in the game.

Italic words are thoughts. Anything in quotation marks is talking.. "Like this." Bold words are currently for chapters. ((Will update if nessacary.))

Since this game allows you to input your character name, and I don't know the default name at all, I will be using Lynvina (Lyn)Heartlily.. My gaming name of the moment.

Hyosuke's special move is called Thunder God Flying Hurricane.. However.. since it seems a bit clunky and awkward I have switched it to Hurricane of the Thunder God.

Based off the App "Shall we date? Ninja Destiny!"

Hyosuke
Chapter 1

Memories Gone.

I need to get away.. Get up and run! I have to... I hear the clash of metal in the distance.
Trying to move.. I realize my body's stiff. Why can't I move..? Eyes still closed, I feel a dull throbbing. Where am I.. what is going on..? Wiggling my hand I can feel the grass pressed against it. Am I on the ground?

I hear thumphing, and I can feel the ground trembling beneath me. Is the ground shaking because of running horses? Unable to understand what is going on, I try searching my thoughts. Where am I? I start regaining some of my senses, I can recognize voices crying out in anger. I hear more metal clashing, and it sends a cold chill down my spine. Is... this a battlefield? I try to move, but in the dazed state I am in, the only thing I can do is move my hand. How did I get here? If this truely is a battle, how can I get away if my body refuses to move..?

My eyes finally open, and i grimace at the bright sun falling through the tree's leaves.. Squinting my eyes until my vision cleared up. Air gets caught in my lungs as I confirmed the dreaded questions floating in my mind. I'm in a battlefield.. The last thing I want is to be caught in this.. Starting to panic and wanting to flee, I focused all my energy into my hand.. Only able to dig my fingers into the dirt and grass, looking around without moving my head.. I hope that I don't get caught.

I felt something cling to my wrist, barely able to move my head I looked over. Oh.. no..Who's that? My eyes focus on a mysterious person grabbing my wrist. My eyes widen and I twitched realzing that he's looking over my body.

The person, shocked lessens his grip slightly. "Holy- Wow! You're still alive!?" He blinked at me. Of course I'm still alive! How rude! "What are you doing here, laying down in the middle of a battlefield?" Releasing my wrist he slides his arms under my shoulders, he lifted me off the ground slightly. Still watching his face, I see the wind fluff his light brown hair. His eyes green innocent eyes looked into mine. "Hey.. are you alright?"

Using his free hand he checked my body.. What are you doing to me!? You cannot touch a young lady you just met like that! Attempting to speak, all that came out were murmuring noises. This is SO Disrespectful! Knock it off! No matter how hard I tried.. Not a word came out. ...What? I can't speak?

The sounds of fighting grew louder and louder. Whoever is fighting is getting close...The young man frowned, glaring off in the direction the sound was coming from.. "Ugh, this is not the spot to treat your wounds, is it?"

*RIBBIT* A frog? He looked down and said to it, "Wait a minute Kermit, please be patient!" Wow.. this little frog is kinda cute.. It has large eyes and smooth skin, the young man kept talking to it. "Please go inform Yoshitsune of what is going on. If you would do that.. I could tend to her wounds." The frog croaked in reply before hopping away.

He chuckled softly and looked back into my eyes. "Well, now I beg your indulgence." Wait.. WHAAA? Without any effort at all, he swept me into his arms. A feeling of unease started swelling in my chest. I'm nervous being held by this mysterious young man..P-Please.. Put me down..Sadly, no matter how I begged in my mind, I realized I had no voice or power at all to resist.. and thus gave up. "Alright, Let's go." ...where in the world could we possibly be going..? He started running, and the surrounding area became a blur. In no time at all the voices and swords clashing faded away in the distance.

He's.. so fast!...Have I been saved..? That was the last thought to cross my mind before i faded into unconsciousness.

That feels.. nice.. Coming back to my senses I realized there was something cold on my forehead. I open my eyes to see those beautiful green eyes watching me. "Oh hey, are you feeling any better?" Seeming relieved to see me awake, he smiled cheerfully. "I'm so glad.. I really thought you were a goner this time.. Phew, thank goodness." He laughed lightly, taking the towel off my forehead. He then flipped it inside-out and pressed it back against my face.

Is he helping me? I tried to speak again, and little sounds came out.. I need water.. I can't talk with my throat so dry.. I tried really hard, and the only sounds that came out of my lips were.. "...wa.. wat..."

He smiled at me and asks.. "Hm? What's that? Are you asking for some water to drink?" He reaches for a round bamboo container and slowly brought it to my lips. "Here, easy now.."

As soon as I felt the cool wetness of the water touch my lips, i let out a small sigh of relief. Thank goodness, my mouth and throat is completely parched! I slowly sipped the water at first, making sure to rehydrate before swallowing. As he lowered the container smiled bashfully. "Th-thank you.." Finally I could talk!

He giggled softly. "You're utmost welcome! I was able to save you as the outcome, but still.. I'm very glad."

The outcome..? I guess saving a life is not a motivation for him? "..Just because you rescued me, doesn't mean you won't die." I watched him carefully after saying this.

"Huh? What do you mean by that..?" A puzzled expression crosses his young features. "Still not going to die..?"

"You shouldn't run away." I explained.

"Run away..? From who?" He arched his eyebrows and watched me closely. I tilted my head.. Huh? From who? I don't understand..The more time that passed, the more I realized just how close he was watching me. In the silence, I could hear water bubbling and swishing somewhere nearby. I slowly sat up, looking around. "That's the lake over there," he said, seeming to read my thoughts and actions. I realized I can't hear any of the fighting sounds at all anymore. How far did he take me? Hearing him breathe in deeply, my attention was brought back to him. "Alrighty, I think its best I should explain your current situation.."

"Where are we?" I asked him, not recognizing the area at all.

"This is Ichinotani.. There was a battle that started here and it left ten villages abandoned." ...10 whole villages, up and abandoned just like that? The soft smile returns to his face. "My name is Hyosuke. What is your name?"

I nodded at him. "My name is Lynvina."

He smiled sweetly at my response. "Lynvina, that's a cute name." His eyes once again examined me for a quick moment, then his gaze returned to mine. "Where are you from?"

Where am I from...? Biting my lip and tilting my head.. I pondered that as well. A slight panic started creeping up on me as I soon realized nothing was being populated in my head. Why can't I remember? Where am I from, why was I collapsed on the ground of a battlefield..? No matter how many questions I tried asking mysself, no answers came. "I... don't know.."

His face shocked, he blinked at me. "Huh? You don't know?"

Flustered a bit, I look down to my lap. "When you asked me for my name, it just came out naturally.. However no matter what I ask myself, I can't seem to remember anything.."...Oh boy, I really hope he doesn't think I'm lying to him..

"...You can't remember anything?" He asked sounding concerned.

I was on the ground and I couldn't move at all.. "I'm not entirely certain.. but I might have been involved in this battle.." I look back into his eyes. "I probably hit my head.. but I don't remember it.." I look down at my clothes, the kimono I was wearing seemed very elegant. "I.. don't have any clues to rejog my memory.." Why.. why isn't anything coming back.. I touch the fabric, hoping that the feeling would stimulate something, anything. Nothing.. Still nothing..I don't have anything on me to try them out.. The panic started getting worse as I became more and more anxious. "I... I.."

Seeing my reaction as I spoke, he reached out and rubbed the top of my head. "You've lost all color in your face."

A necklace fell lose from my Kimono, making a soft sond. That's.. a... All of a sudden my head pulses with intense pain. The more I try to recall anything about this magatama necklace, there would be a wave of pain. This could be the key to my memories.. but I keep getting these headaches the moment I try.. It's no use though, I'm simply inflicting pain upon myself.

When I looked back into Hyosuke's face.. his smile completely vanished, and his eyes were cold and glaring at me. "Looking at that necklace and your clothing, they look expensive." There seemed to be hatred in his eyes. "You apear to be a Princess.. are you a member of the Taira clan?"

Taira..? The name did nothing for me, I blinked and pulled back from him a bit, starting to feel intimidated by his expression and body language. What's going on? He was just smiling and was a complete sweetheart a moment ago.. "I don't remember.. The name doesn't seem important to me."

His expression didn't change. "Uh-huh." Then a very menacing sime came to his lips. "Well, I am a Miyamoto General.. if you were a part of the Taira, I would be forced to kill you."

That emotionless statement made me flinch. "Wha.. What?!" The smile faced from his lips and his eyes, still holding that anger glittered coldly. K...Kill me..?! Suddenly the panic from before came back, and it was twisted with a dreadful fear as the next question came from his lips.

"Do you have any proof showing you are not a part of the Taira clan?"

"...No matter what I say.." Even I could hear the panic in my voice. All I have on my person is the clothes I am wearing and this necklace..Feeling lost and helpless, I lower my head and feel something cold pressed me. Wh-what?! A knife?! "Huh?!"

His voice was completely void of emotion. "Unfortunately.. Despite my efforts to save you from the battlefield and bring you somewhere safe.. I must kill you."

"S-stop.." No! This can't be!

"Heh well now. If you are going to kill her, hand her over to us. It would be a waste to destroy a cute girl before.. using her." Rustling from the brush nearby, a group of four Heishi soldiers came into view, disgusting smiles were plastered onto their faces. Oh no.. this is getting worse by the moment.. what a group of terrible people.. The hungry lust in their eyes sent a cold shiver down my spine, and my body jerked from the sensation. I looked at the knife, then back at the group of soldiers. I need to get away! This is my only chance..

With all my might, I shove Hyosuke away, taking him by surprise. "Huh, whaa?!" Taking the strength I had I get up and start running away. Keep going, his moment of surprise wont last long!

The men snicker and laugh. "Bwahaha, that girl has some spirit in her. Catch her before she gets away." The man barked at the three others.

Trying to run as fast as I can, my body started screaming in agony.. I could hear the sounds of someone chasing after me. Don't look back, whatever you do.. I can't die here.. However my legs were not working properly, and once I thought that I tripped and fell to the ground. The wind knocked out of my lungs, I cringed in pain as my body refused to move. Get up.. Please.. get away..

The grass was rustling behind me, and my heart lept into my throat. "Seriously, it's too dangerous out here.. Come on, we need to run." When I looked over toward the voice of Hyosuke, he was standing in front of me. I need to escape.. However the moment I moved my body off the ground, Hyosuke extended his hand out to help me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me up with a swift jerk. A smile came to his face, and I realized his eyes were not cold anymore, and looking at me with his kind gaze. "You are someone of high rank, nobility, aren't you Lyn? Those Taira idiots didn't recognize you.." He patted my head gently, and wiped the dirt off my cheek. "That alone is enough proof you are not a part of the Taira."

Still flusted in a panic from what was going on moments ago, I pulled away from him. "I am not of the Taira clan.."

His smile grew and he nodded at me. "Well then, since you aren't a part of the Taira clan, allow me to protect you this one time." He looked over from where we ran from.

My gaze followed his and I realized the group had caught up with us. The men were laughing mockingly, then one snarled. "Protecting a woman is one hell of a way to die.. ain't it boy?" They took out their lances and spears and pointed them in our direction.

Hyosuke gently moved me as he stepped forward, standing between me and those vulgar men. He then walked slowly towards them. His posture changed..The cold voice he used with me earlier returned. "Hah, you seem to think you will live after this moment? Every one of you are nothing compared to me."

The man, clearly agitated barked "Why you little punk!"

I couldnt see Hyosuke but from his backside.. He lifted his arms for a moment then shouted, "Hurricane of the Thunder God!" Is.. that Vapor coming from Hyosuke's body?! He swayed, changing his stance as the water vapor started forming a cloud. The cloud then turned black, and you could see lightning forking out of it as it became electrically charged. The cloud kept growing and stretched over the Taira soldiers.

The thunder rolled loud and the flashing of the flickering lightning luminated the area. The Taira men unter the cloud were then assaulted by the thunder and heavy rain. Crying out, "What the hell is this rain, ugh!" They then turned and tried to outrun the thunderstorm, however the winds then picked up and swirled around them, locking them inside the area of the cloud. I can barely see through it now..

Placing his hands on his hip, Hyosuke pulled his dagger out again. "Heh, now its time to finish you off.." He regained his posture and darted toward the soldiers.. his eyes shadowed over, full of loathing and disgust. His expression changed again.. He became so cold toward the Taira.. It's like he is a completely different person then the kind soul who saved me.. As he darted in closer, it was clear the men could not see through the storm either. However, Hyosuke's path did not change.. his movements flowed like that of water as he manipulated the knife against the soldiers.

"Oh.. Eek!" I darted my eyes away from the storm as a bright red color mixed amid the storm. Hyosuke standing in the direct center of the men, put his dagger away.. a soft metal sound can even be heard from where i was standing. The rain then ceased, the cloud disapating.. vapor returning to the atmosphere. Huh.. I guess that since he used the energy, it took form as vapor and released back into nature when it was complete..Thuds then followed as the men fall to the ground, lifeless.

He walked back over to me, I couldn't take my eyes off him, even though the scene was a terrible sight to behold. His face was cheerful as he smiled at me. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry." He laughed softly.

"No.. I'm okay.." It's odd.. He's smiling and kind.. it seems like the thought of killing someone would never plauge his mind. A feeling of unease and nervousness set in. How odd.. It's like he completely severs his feelings and personality from his combat and killing.

"Hrm.." He placed a hand on his chin in thought. "I'm guessing they were seperated from their army on the battlefield and wound up over here with us."

...That was quite the ordeal.. Hyosuke is a man who seems to have a completely different personality when it comes to the Taira.. Like killing is nothing at all.. Coming across men who were looking at me like I was a peice of meat.. What a horrifying experiece to have when I dont have any memories.. I shake me head to rid the images of the soldier bodies.

I wring my hands together, darting my glance away from Hyosuke. "Hey.. Hyosuke.." After hearing him make a sound acknowledging he heard me, I continue. "I was wondering.." I pause for a moment and think.. I dont know anyone, I dont know where I belong.. I really want my memories to come back.. I look back into his eyes."Is.. there something, anything, we can do to try and get my memories back?"

A troubled expression crosses his face. "I.." He pauses for a moment and rubs the back of his head. "I would love to try and help you regain your memories.. However.. I have other duties I must attend to." He bites the inside of his cheek.

I guess he wants to help.. but cant.. Ah well.. This is something I have to do alone. I knew that, but inside me I felt.. sad? "I see.. Thanks.."

"Well.." He paused. "I'm pretty sure there are certain people you are trying to avoid." Huh? I guess my face had a puzzled expression, he laughed softly and smiled at me. "Oh right, sorry. I forgot, don't worry about it." He stretches and then tilts his head to the sides, popping his neck. "Well, lets move. I need to go check up on my partner." Coming close, he then swooped me up in his arms and smiled. "Ready? Hang on." He started running back towards the direction we originally came from.

After a few moments, I once again realize how fast this guy is. We arrived at the spot where he found me on the ground, the middle of a battlefield under a tree. He gently put me down and began looking around. The battle was long over, and there were many bodies littered around the field. There was even a few corpses near the tree where Hyosuke found me. Oh my..heavens.. what a appalling sight.. If i was left here, I surely would be underneath them..Hyosuke saved me. I shudder after realizing that the only reason I'm alive is because of Hyosuke. I will need to repay him for saving my life.. I would have never survived on my own, especially in the condition I was in..

Hyosuke was still looking around, murmuring to himself. "Now where was.." He placed his hands on his hips and called out, "Kermit!" After a few moments the frog appears after hearing Hyosuke's voice. He crouches down and picks up the little guy. "Have any news from Yoshitsune's encampment?"

Kermit ribbits in response to the question, Hyosuke nodding his head. A smile smile came to my lips because it looks like they really understand each other. I tilt my head to the side. I wonder who Yoshitsune is..? Kermit then hops out of Hyosuke's hands and leads us away from the area. Huh, I would have never thought to follow a frog.. Interesting that he manages to guide us out when the grass is up to my knees here..

Seeming to hear my thoughts Hyosuke has a cute smile on his face. "That guy is my partner, his name is Kermit." He chuckles softly. "And man, he sure is one smart little guy!"

I giggle softly. "Yep, he sure is reliable too!"

Hyosuke was happy I noticed. "I've had countless encounters where I've been in a terrible situation.. thanks to him I got out of them." We stop and I hear Kermit ribbit. Hyosuke narrows his eyes, still looking cheerful but paying full attention to whatever is ahead of us.

I look down at Kermit and think of how it seems like they are a nice pairing. Suddenly, an eerie feeling of being watched runs down my spine. The rustling of the grass catches my attenion and I look ahead of Kermit. A important looking young man was watching us. He was wearing battle armor, and had the air of a nobleman. Kermit hops back towards us, in front of Hyosuke, who has fallen down to one knee. Behind the imposing man were three other men, standing as guards.

Huh.. this aura around him is not only Noble.. but intimidating. Figures he would have these men under his influence. upon thinking that, I felt as if his preseance was overwhelming. I too lowered my head and dropped to my knees.

"My Lord, please forgive my tardiness." His head was still bowed while speaking to the man. "For now I have returned."

"Thank you for your hard work Hyosuke." He glanced at me and asks, "Is this the person you helped?"

"It is so my Lord." His voice said adoringly.

"Raise your head." He gently commanded. I slowly raised my head and our gazes locked. A kind smile spread across his face. "You have gorgeous eyes, the eyes of one of noble birth."

His eyes showed compassion, and were a brilliant shade of blue, accented by his deep purple hair that was escaping his helmet. "Thank you... unfortunately I have lost my memory.." I looked down, I had a feeling of speaking directly to this man was way above my hertiage. "...I have no idea what my social status is." Very slowly I looked back at the man. He's.. really handsome.. I blushed slightly at such thoughts.

He chuckled softly as he looked at my clothing. "From what I can tell about your clothes and mannerisms, it wouldn't be wrong to assume nobility." He paused for a moment, thinking. "You say you have lost your memories.. That would mean you don't know where your home is.. In that case.. Shall we travel together?"

Shocked, my eyes widen. "What? Are you certain?"

He nods at me. "I believe there is a household missing a Miyamoto princess, but I can't imagine that this princess has been cast out." Pausing before continuing. "I am Yoshitsune of the Minamoto Clan, and you are?"

"My name is Lynvina, please call me Lyn." I bowed.

"What a beautiful name. I invite you to come with us as my guest." He looks around at his guards and Hyosuke. "Everyone, treat this princess with respect."

One of the guards, wearing armor as deep apple red as his hair, smirked. "Huh, so this girl has lost her memories? How clumsy of her."

The second one with shoulder length silver hair, wearing a blue cloth under his silver armor retorts, "Geez, just look at her face, it has 'stupis' written all over it." He laughs, "she probably dropped them somewhere."

The third man has green hair, a scar over his left eye, a yellow and green scarf around his neck, wearing a green and white Kimono, and a long katana strapped to his back. He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Enya, Hyuga... you two are not only clumsy and foolish, but rude.." He glanced at me and smiled. "Please forgive them, they are too honest to a fault.. they have no idea how to take other people's thoughts and feelings into consideration."

...When you say it like that, it sounds like you agree with them calling me clumsy and foolish.. Hyosuke then turned to me. "Lyn, those three are in Yoshitsune's command.. They are all Shinobi, just like me." They all are Shinobi?

Yoshitsune looked at Hyosuke. "Hyosuke, I am entrusting Lynvina's protection and care to you. Keep her safe."

Hyosuke nods. "As you wish, my lord." Turning his attention back at me, he smiles very sweetly. "Please look upon me favorably, Lyn!"

As we headed off toward the estate, Hyosuke walked slower so he could walk with me. An absolutely gleeful expression on his face. "Isn't Lord Yoshitsune great?" He smiles at me. "If he said you couldn't come along, I would have only been able to take you to the upcoming village.. buuut I'm sooo glad!" he reaches an arm around my shoulders and hugs me against his side softly. "Because now I can protect you Lyn. From now on, please feel safe with me!" I blushed a bit and nodded as we continued toward our destination.
