Chapter 3

I asked for a day before being sent back to the past to change it. I needed Nonunaga alive to finish this. I need to find the strength needed to do what needs to be done.

Will I be able to do this? What will Nobunaga be like? Will he help me if I ask? Will any of them help me if I ask? I just spit question after question in my mind, not having any idea what the answers would be. I'm really nervous too. My dragon is impatient and pacing. I can't figure out why she's riled up, and she won't calm down. Am I doing the wrong thing by going to the past, and this is her way of trying to warn me?

My day is coming to an end. I've visited all the sites I needed to to gather information of the past. I even stopped and picked up some books on the history. I had to make a trade since I didnt have any money. The expensive jewels that black heart queen gave me made a good trade. I'm off to my final site. The monument made in Nobunaga's memory, also the monument that will give me the date in which I need to go to. Hideyoshi will meet me there, and open the pathway that will lead me to June 21, 1582.

"Hideyoshi!" I call out as I'm walking up. "Are you ready to open the pathway?" I look around and notice that he has someone else with him. Who is this guy? He looks familiar.As I'm trying to recall where I've seen the young man with Hideyoshi, he introduces himself. "I'm Sarutobi Sasuke and I'll be accompanying you on the travel. It's nice to meet you." The name clicked. "Kenshin's ninja right?"

"Yes." He smiled politely.

"Nice to meet you." I say back politely, but nervously. What if I get him hurt? Or worse, killed? I guess I should apologize for any trouble I might cause." I'm just gonna go ahead and apologize in advance. I'm sure to cause trouble that you'll more then likely get caught up in." I tried to be as poliet and cheer as I could.

"May I know what time it is we are traveling to? Or am I not allowed to know either?" I'm looking him in the eye and trying to decide if I should tell him.

I motion him closer and whispered "1582." His eyes grew to the size of saucers. "Shhh!" I could tell he was about to repeat it out loud.

"Nice try on information fishing, Hideyoshi." Should have known he'd try to get the information. I smiled and shook my head. "You'll know what time I land in soon enough."

As he opened the pathway, my dragon got more and more irritable. She's sturring inside, begging to be let out. She hasn't been released in years, and never tried to push for a release either like she is now. I wish I knew what was going on, but if I use my power now, Zira will know where I'm going. She wont be able to sense me in the past.

"Lets go Sasuke." we walked forward and into the pathway. The moment we did, I was like being violently ripped off a cliff. I was breathless.

A little heads up on what to expect would have been nice!"Aaaaaah!" I could hold the scream back any more. This isn't going to be a smooth landing at this rate. Better brace myself of a hard fall.

Just as I thought that, I let out a ear splitting screech as i was thrown from the pathway of time, and I did indeed fall hard. My landing had me laying in a heap on the ground. "OW! HIDEYOSHI YOU ASSHOLE! THAT WAS MEAN!" even though I knew he couldn't hear me, I yelled at him all the same. Or at least that what I thought.

I stiffen up as i hear someone behind me laughing. "Shit..." I didnt want to turn around. I didn't want to know who just heard me yelling at the air. I just stood up, brushed off my dress, and tried to walk away. Didn't get far before I heard the famar voice of Hideyoshi. "I don't recall doing anything to you seeing as I've never met you." Little did he know we have.

"Lets just forget you ever saw me, okay?" started to turn, but was stoppes mid way.

"I don't think so."

Great. Just great. Might as well take the plung.

"What if I said Hideyoshi and I have met before? What would you say?" I'm still beating around the bush, but I'm about to take the plung.

"I'd say you're lieing." Saw that one coming. Guess its time to use some magic. I pulled the last memory I had of my original time. Of course, that memory had Hideyoshi in it. I just played it then pauses it when I got a good image of his face. "Who's a liar now?"
