So I'm having trouble with ideas at the moment, sorry it took a while. There's not much romance in this chapter but I hope everyone still likes it. If anyone has any suggestions for this story it would help a lot. Thanks to everyone who had stuck with me on this story!
It has been a week since the last attack from Kiyohime and Yoshimoto-dono was now out of the hospital and feeling better. She was left with a permanent scar though. The gang was currently in Masamune and Hideyoshi's lounge room discussing what their next move should be. Oh, and the kitchen wall is currently being repaired.
"So...what next?" Mitsuhide asked.
"We need to somehow trace where Kiyohime is." Nobunaga was thinking seriously.
"I think I have an idea. I have this chip that I can use that will trace the location of her.
"Ummmm...what?" Nobunaga, Yoshimoto-dono, Mitsuhide, Ieyasu, Kenshin and Shingen had no idea what Masamune just said.
"Wait here."
Masamune got up and headed to her room. She opened her wardrobe and pulled out a shelf with equipment hidden in it. She grabbed a small chip out and returned to the lounge room.
"All you need to do is slip this into Kiyohime's clothes without her noticing." Masamune explained.
"I get it now." Everyone said.
"Good. I suggest we don't split up either."
"What about when we go to the bathroom?" Nobunaga asked.
Masamune face planted at this.
"I mean if someone wants to go out we all go together."
"Got it." Nobunaga nodded.
"Masamune I'm hungry...We're out of food..." Hideyoshi complained.
"Looks like we're all going shopping. Okay everyone up!" Masamune demanded.
Once again they walked. There wasn't enough room for all of them in Masamune's car.
"Remember always be on guard everyone!" Masamune reminded.
"Yes!" Everyone saluted.
This made Masamune look like the leader of some random bandit gang.
They went and did their shopping buying more then usually since there was more people now. It took about two hours until they finished their shopping and were through the checkout. They walked back home but when they arrived, they noticed something. The windows were smashed and the door was broken.
"That bitch!" Masamune yelled running towards the door.
"Wait Masamune! There's a strange force coming from your home don't!" Nobunaga tried to reach out to her but it was to late. Masamune had disappeared.
"Where is she!?" Hideyoshi demanded to know.
"Most likely some strange realm she was transported to. I bet Kiyohime's there too." Nobunaga explained.
"No...Masamune." A tear fell from Hideyoshi's eye.
Hideyoshi was worried that Masamune wouldn't come back or worse. She could die. Hideyoshi ran towards where Masamune disappeared to see if she could end up where Masamune was but nothing happened. Shingen pulled Hideyoshi back and embraced her trying to comfort her. They fell to the ground , Hideyoshi sobbing. All they could do now was wait.
Where Masamune is...
Masamune looked around the unfamiliar area. The sky was a dark, misty, purple color and there were huge buildings burning in a lighter blue flames. Masamune was in the middle of a road and it was pouring with rain. Masamune assumed that she was transported to some weird realm by Kiyohime.
"So your the one that came through the portal. Honestly, I was hoping for Nobunaga." Kiyohime appeared before her.
"You did this!" Masamune spat out.
"Not exactly. My mistress did." Kiyohime didn't like the way Masamune was talking to her.
"Mistress?" Masamune wondered.
"Yes, Mistress Kazumi. She's the one that I take orders from. Now, how about we start our duel?" Kiyohime suggested pulling out her duel katana swords.
Masamune didn't know what to do. It's not like she had a weapon on her. She was at loss and had a disadvantage.
"Fine." Masamune was drenched as she clenched her fists together. They were the only 'weapon' she had at the moment.
They suddenly charged at each other. The rain turned to hail and a storm let out. Thunder started crashing out. When they had reached each other Kiyohime swung her katana swords from both directions, aiming for Masamune's head. Masamune ducked down. This caused Kiyohime to miss. While Masamune had the chance she slamed her fist into Kiyohime's lower stomach. The strength of the hit was so strong that it lifted Kiyohime off of her feet, but something wasn't right. Masamune knew Kiyohime's power was stronger then this so why? Why wasn't she trying?
"Why aren't you trying!?" Masamune demanded to know the answer.
Masamune released her fist for Kiyohime's stomach. This caused Kiyohime to fall on her knees. But not for long, she got up straight.
"This realm is a part of me. No matter how hard you try, you can't defeat me." Kiyohime replied.
Masamune looked in horror as she knew it was impossible to beat the girl.
"Tell me one thing, why are you after Nobunaga?"
"You mean the eternal devil lord? I'm from the future and I must protect the timeline. She is the one at fault for destroying life on this world. Where I come from is a fiery broken world. Only two people lived in that timeline. That was mistress Kazumi and I. We don't want to go back to that lonely place so we plan to fix the world."
"...and you need to kill Nobunaga to do that." Masamune realized.
While Masamune was thinking, she didn't realize that she had let her guard down. Kiyohime thrusted her duel katana swords right through Masamune's gut.
"Hmm...You let your guard down girly." Kiyohime smirked.
Masamune fell to the ground with a loud thump, water splashing at the impact. Blood flowed out of Masamune into this already dark world. She clutched her stomach in pain. Her eyes started closing as she tried to resist.
"Hideyoshi..." Was the last name she said before blacking out.
Kiyohime started to walk away, leaving her there.
"Kiyohime!" Mistress Kazumi shouted from a top of a building.
Kazumi looked up and noticed her. Mistress Kazumi jumped from the building, but something unnatural happened. She wasn't falling down, she was floating down with a dark aura following her.
"Good job Kiyohime." Mistress Kazumi pat her head softly.
Kiyohime smiled at the gesture.
"But, are goal isn't to kill her. Send her back for me. If she's lucky her friends will save her."
"Yes mistress Kazumi." Kazumi clapped her hands together and Masamune disappeared from her current spot. Kiyohime and mistress Kazumi stayed in the wrecked realm.
Back to the gang...
Hideyoshi, Nobunaga, Yoshimoto-dono, Mitsuhide, Ieyasu, Shingen and Kenshin were just dazed in their spots useless. Suddenly Masamune appeared back, But this time she was on the verge of death.
"MASAMUNE!" Hideyoshi called out running to her.
She lent over Masamune's body knowing there was no time to call an ambulance. Suddenly a bright, white light emitted from Hideyoshi's hands.
"What is this?" Hideyoshi wondered in disbelief.
Hideyoshi put her hands on Masamune's wound. Somehow, It magically healed. Masamune was still just lying there but she was breathing perfectly fine. The other girls looked at Hideyoshi not able to say a word at what they had just witnessed. Suddenly, Masamune's eyes flashed open looking all dark and bloodshot as her chest pounded up and down hard.
