a/n: Right well. This is absolute crack.

I feel bad for spamming random drabbles and oneshots. I feel like I should apologize. :(

My brother was playing survival mode and, while he was not playing as Kanetsugu, I noticed that Yukimura was all of sudden king of bandits. Confused, I asked why he would ever be a master of bandits, and my brother replied, "Maybe he's Robin Hood?"

I lol'd, and I found it necessary to write out the scenario as it would most likely appear in game. >.>

And also Mitsunari is girlish, shuush. :x

Enjoy. :D

"Master, please help us!"

Kanetsugu had been marching through the infinite castle in an attempt to reach the mythical 'princess' of the tower. It did not surprise him that there were bandits here, much less that they would be cowards and demand their master save their hides. His great sense of justice and honor had protected him as he traveled up the floors, and he was sure that he could easily wipe out these heathens as well.

However, he did not expect him to be the master.

"…Yuki…mura?"

Sanada Yukimura was Kanetsugu's friend, and also admired justice, although perhaps to a lesser extent. He was loyal and prideful, and Naoe was not sure how to react to Sanada being the leader of the bandits. "What in the heavens—"

"Kanetsugu, I can explain." Yukimura assured him while signaling for any attacking bandits to halt.

"I would certainly hope so. Bandits, Yukimura?"

"But we're not just any bandits, Kanetsugu!" His ally looked hopeful, and his eyes were brimming with the determination that had moved him so far on the battlefield. "We're not scoundrels. We do good!"

"What good… can bandits do?"

Sanada turned around and paced for a brief moment before facing Kanetsugu again.

"Easy." He paused, and looked around at his fellow men. "We steal from the rich…" Kanetsugu's brows furrowed here. "…and give to the poor!" And here he chuckled, Yukimura grinning brilliantly.

"…you're strange, Yukimura. May I pass?"

"Certainly, Kanetsugu." Yukimura stood sideways, arm outstretched towards the stairs. "Just so you know, the princess is a prince," he called out as Kanetsugu ascended the stairs. "Whoever started that rumor must've mistaken him for a girl."

"Did Mitsunari get himself locked up here?"

A short laugh. "No, he's not that girlish."

Everything © koei. Although I certainly wish I owned SW. That would rokk.
