Haunted By Past… Chapter 3
……………………………..
"Come back safe, Yukimura-san!"
"I will… thanks! Sakura-Chan" Yukimura answered the child who waved and smiled
"Let's go, danna"
"Hai!"
Sasuke ran after Yukimura not having any trouble in following the boy who rode the horse. Yukimura was riding fast with an excited smile on his face. Sasuke couldn't help but feel jealous and envy the one eyed dragon for the attention he gets from his little tiger. Yes his. He loved him and WILL find a way to confess that love
'Without scarring him for life of course' he chuckled and sighed "danna! You think you will be able to work without getting in trouble with the one eyed dragon?"
"What are you saying Sasuke? I and Masamune-duno understand each other perfectly. We don't fight because of trouble. We fight because…" he didn't continue. Just his face blushed and he looked straight
"Because what, danna?" his voice was calm… full of something dark just like his eyes at that moment
The horse stopped and Yukimura looked down. His fist came gently to his chest "because when I fight with him, I feel something strange. My heart beats fast. I feel then a happiness that I don't usually do. It's like-"
"Let's go danna" Sasuke said hiding the frown with flat expression. He walked past Yukimura who looked at him with confused expression
"Sasuke?"
"I'm fine danna!" he replied with a bored voice "just want to get this over with"
The walk to Oshu wasn't fun… or that's what Sasuke thought. He sighed… only if Yukimura could stop mentioning Masamune's name every fifteen minutes!
"WHO ARE YOU?" a blue armored soldier spoke
"Sanada Yukimura." Yukimura said then pointed at Sasuke "this is Sasuke. We came from Kai to help you. Takeda Shingen sent us here."
The blue armored man looked at him, and then at his friend "tell Masamune-sama about them!"
A minute passed and the guy came back "Masamune-sama ordered to let them in" the other nodded and stepped out of the way.
"Danna! I'd be grateful if you were careful"
Yukimura nodded and looked around "what is happening here?" everything was not in place. The soldiers who used to be full of life were quiet and worried. The way they looked at him and Sasuke… that 'un-trust' look… it made him wonder what happened to let these people become that way.
Kojuurou smiled when he saw Yukimura "Masamune-sama has been waiting for you"
Yukimura looked at Sasuke "let's get in!"
"No thanks! I prefer to stay here outside" Sasuke answered. He wanted to say outside and investigate. He himself was shocked when he saw the condition the blue army was in.
…….
(Inside)
Masamune smirked when he saw Yukimura's hesitant face as he slowly got in "get in… Sanada Yukimura" he said encouraging him.
"Masamune-dono" he got in and sat, folding his legs and looking straight with respectful manners that amused Masamune "what is going on Masamune dono?"
Now, Masamune lost his smile "I have no idea. Sanada Yukimura. Suddenly the soldiers are attacked and injured. We have no idea who's doing it or from where." He put his hand on his chin, his finger covering his lips in thinking way "they think some of the solders are betraying us… but I'm sure it's far beyond that"
Yukimura looked at him with worry before he looked down "Masamune-dono… what do you predict?"
"With you guys here, the attacks will be less, or that's what I hope." He sighed and Yukimura nodded. Masamune's smile returned "well.. I believe since you came to help, we should give you a proper welcome"
"ha?"
Masamune left and looked at his soldiers "EVERYONE! We've had enough. It's a time to get a break. These guys came here to help. NO PROBLEM! Everything will be in hand. For now, forget your pain… "He smirked and raised his arms shouting "LET'S PARTY!"
Yukimura smiled when he saw the soldiers cheering and laughing. It was obvious they believed in their lord. They did forget what's happening for the rest of the day.
When night came, the soldiers started drinking. Sasuke was resting on a tree and Yukimura was chatting with Masamune.
"Sanada! I didn't see you drink"
"I can't. Oyakata-sama forbade me from drinking"
"Just how old are you, Sanada Yukimura!?" Masamune asked and Yukimura shrugged
"Oyakata-sama says I'm 19"
"HAA?! He says that?" he took a sip from his drink "and what do YOU say?"
"I… I don't say. What oyakata-sama says is right."
Masamune raised an eye borrow "what he says. Huh? YOU FOOL Sanada Yukimura" he said smirking "things like this have no relation with your Takeda Shingen. It's you who decide that. YOU SEE?"
"How can I decide them?" Yukimura asked making Masamune look at him with wide eye
'che! He's naïve. Different from the samurai I fight with' he stared at Yukimura "where are your real family, Sanada Yukimura?"
"eeeh?" Yukimura was taken back by the question. He was silent for a second before he answers "I don't know. All I remember is that I was living with Oyakata-sama for all my life"
Masamune just stared.
"DANNA!" Sasuke jumped down "it's late. You should sleep. Tomorrow we'll have to work"
"And what are you? His babysitter?" Masamune asked with smug expressions making Sasuke glare
"I'm his body guard"
Yukimura who predicted a fight hurried to Sasuke's side "I understand. I'll sleep in a short while"
Kojuurou smiled at Sasuke "we've prepared a place for you to sleep. Please follow me"
Sasuke nodded and followed leaving Yukimura and Masamune alone
"You don't remember your fami… eh?" Masamune was interrupted by the sight of Yukimura drooling while watching a guy eating some dango. He smirked "want some? Sanada Yukimura?"
Yukimura nodded and Masamune ordered a plate of dango. Yukimura smiled with pure happiness and slowly inserted on into his mouth… chewing slowly then swallowing then licking his lips.
Masamune watched those eyes shine with happiness, and ping lips open to get the dango in. then that tongue… "you sure are something… Sanada Yukimura."
"Huh?" Yukimura looked at him with confused eyes
"You love to MAKE A SHOW while eating. DON'T YOU?" Masamune asked smirking
"Show?" just was Masamune-dono talking about?
Masamune couldn't believe it… this guy… this samurai was only a kid. "FORGET IT!" he said "you were saying that you don't know your age"
"Hai!" Yukimura said "because I remember nothing of my childhood"
"Is that bothering you?" he asked, not really minding what Yukimura was saying. He was more watching Yukimura as he inserted another dango into his mouth
"Sometimes" he said after he swallowed. He licked his lips "I'd like to know about my family" he looked at the plate to find that there's no more dango. His eyes saddened then widened
"More?" Masamune asked in an amused tone. Then smirked "you can come to my place tomorrow night. You'll have as much as you want"
"Masamune-sama?"
"Kojuurou? When did you come here?" Masamune asked shocked
"Masamune-sama. I can't believe what you just…"
"WHAAA!" Yukimura stood "Sasuke must be waiting for me."He bowed to them and left
Masamune smirked "he IS something, Kojuurou. I told him to come… but he can't be that naïve. If he wanted me he'll come. YOU SEE?"
Kojuurou just looked at him
………….
"Give me that last report" asked a man wearing a very expensive yukata sat drinking his tea
"He's there. He arrived to Oshu with a ninja"
"Good! Now, I want you to stop attacking from inside of Oshu. I want you to focus more about him."
"He looks the same like the painting, But older. And he remember nothing of his past before he went to Takeda Shingen" answered the soldier.
"He doesn't?" the man smiled "you're dismissed
"Yes, Takatori-sama" the soldier answered and left his lord
Takatori lifted his brush to paint the last detail of his picture… a brown haired and eyed child appeared in the painting.
"You're finally coming back to me, son of Masayuki. You're finally coming back to where you belong" his fingers ran on the painting as he admired the big eyes of the 3 years old child
"Just a little more… Sanada Yukimura"
