I'm sad that no one reviewed! I couldn't resist to update though, so lucky you! I do not own Sengeku Basara Samurai! Here's chapter 4!
"Hey, wake up." Sasuke said as he shook Takara with his foot.
"Ngh, leave me alone…" She groaned as she snuggled deeper in the covers. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night thanks to a certain ninja. "Come on, Lord Shingen wishes to see you."
"Go to hell." She moaned, now Sasuke was getting irritated.
"Get your lazy ass out of bed!" He growled as he pushed her with his foot harder. She smirked and rolled away from his foot, causing him to fall on top of her awkwardly. "Well, if you wanted me in your bed all you had to do was ask…" He whispered huskily.
Takara smirked at him, "Hey, Sasuke, I'm naked." She laughed as his face turned beat red. He coughed awkwardly trying to get control of his thoughts. He then realized what she was trying to do; she wants to get back at me, huh? Well, see about that… He sat up and flipped her on her back and straddled her waist. "Oh, really? Were you waiting long?"
Takara was taken back, she had been sure her plan was flawless. She gritted her teeth; she had never been in a situation like this before. She was raised in solitude and didn't have any friends. Her brain was kicking into over drive. What am I going to do?! She started to panic as he leaned closer to her face; Sasuke was hoping and praying that she was bluffing about being naked. "Are you ready?" He asked her huskily, she blushed and quickly shook her head.
"Get off of me! I was kidding!" She squealed as he moved closer yet. She turned her head and closed her eyes. Sasuke smirked, he'd won this round and she knew it. He quickly got off her and yanked the blanket off her. She sighed in relief glad to have finally gotten him off her. Sasuke, thank his lord, saw that she was in night clothes and was bluffing. "Get dressed." He said coldly and walked out of the room.
Takara laid there trying to catch her breath that was the scariest thing she had ever done in her life. Killing people is easier than dealing with him! "You've got five minutes before I drag you out." She groaned, "Fine, I'll be out in a minute…" She grumbled and got dressed. She put her clothes on and fixed her hair just as she was about to grab her swords she realized that they weren't there! What?! Where are they?! Wait, Damn ninja! She thrust open the door and it made a loud banging noise that echoed throughout the palace. "You damned ninja! Give me back my swords!" She yelled at the air. She looked around to find the ninja but he was hidden from her sight. "I know you're out here!" She yelled and was answered by silence.
"Fine! Be that way! I'm sick of your crap!" She yelled angrily and went back into her room. If he wants to play that way then so can I!
"Excuse me, miss may I come in?" Takara frowned it wasn't Sasuke, that much she could tell. "Uh, sure." The door slid open and Yukimura walked in and gave her an odd look. "I'm sorry, were you waiting for somebody?" She shook her head and gave him a half smile, "Nobody important."
Yukimura nodded his head, "Ah, I see. Well I'm sure Sasuke already told you, but my lord wished to speak with you. He has found some information about your family." Takara was too shocked to speak. He had?
"Uh, milady?" Takara shook her head, "Oh, uh right! Please take me to him."
When they entered the room Takara immediately glared at Sasuke who was kneeled in front of his lord. His head shot up as they entered and he smirked as she walked in. He winked at her as she glared.
"Takara, I'm glad to see you up. Did you sleep well?" Shingen asked her as she focused her attention back to Shingen. "Uh, sure… Did you find something about my family?" She asked excitedly as Yukimura sat by Sasuke. "Yes, I did but first take a seat." He gestures to the two boys.
She glared at Sasuke and sat by Yukimura. "So, about my family?" She asked growing impatient. "Yes, well, I wasn't able to find out much. But, from what I can figure, you are from the Oda clan." Sasuke and Yukimura both stared at Takara in shock as she frowned. "Uh, okay is that a bad thing?"
"Do you not know of the Oda clan?" Shingen asked worriedly. Takara shook her head, no she hadn't heard of the Oda clan before. "Well, the necklace you gave me has the symbol of the Oda clan on it. The Oda clan is made up of demons. But, I do not know if you are one or not." Takara frowned, okay…
"She probably is one…" She heard Sasuke mumble under his breath. "I'm sorry, what was that?" She asked innocently. "Nothing," he grumbled.
"If I may continue, I was unable to find out who your parents are. I have two guesses though; either you are the daughter of the Demon king, Nobunaga Oda and his wife, Nohime. Or you are the daughter of the Demon queen Oichi and her husband Nagamasa Azai. If your father is the Demon king then he and his wife are both dead. But, if it is Oichi, then she is alive and her husband is not. I have reason to believe that you are Nagamasa's daughter. You have his hair and the chances of Nobunaga and Nohime having a child are very slim." Shingen finished as he gauged for her reaction of this news.
Takara had a frown on her face, so she was probably the daughter of demons? How does one take that kind of news?
"Also, there's the matter of your eyes."
Takara tilted her head, "My eyes? What about them?"
Shingen sighed, "Well, I once heard a rumor about the Oda clan's vessel."
"The vessel?" Shingen nodded, "Yes it was a long time ago. The clan has a legend about a person being born of light and darkness. The person was to have multi-colored eyes of purple and gold. Purple for dark and gold for light. It was said that this person would often be sacrificed to the head of the clan. If the leader were to possess him or her he would have eternal life. But if they were to fall in love they would lose the life they were granted. If the head were to love him or her the clan would be blessed."
"And you think I'm this vessel?" Shingen nodded. Takara sat there and contemplated this new information.
"But, there's something else. Apparently the Vessel died a long time ago before he could have children so the Vessel was believed to have died out. So it's very odd that you are like you are. I am almost positive that you are the Vessel. You wield two swords one of life and death. You give life and take it, just like past Vessels. But, this was just a rumor. I have no way of getting a hold of the Oda clan's records, if they even exist anymore."
Takara frowned, how could she find out if she really was this Vessel? "What about Oichi? She might have some answers." She suggested, hoping that her mother or aunt could shed some light on the situation. But, if she was Oichi's daughter or Niece then why did she not raise her herself?
"I'm afraid not. From what I've heard Oichi has forgotten everything. She can't even remember that her brother is dead." Takara sighed in disappointment, well, now what?
She gasped as she saw a face flash across her eyes. She narrowed her eyes as she saw a man with a curly mustache and wearing green. She stood and bowed to Shingen, "Thank you for finding out this information for me. I am very grateful." Shingen nodded, "No problem, but where are you going?" Takara bit her lip and sighed, "I am going to kill a man." Sasuke tensed and glared at her. "Sasuke, will you please hand me my swords back?" Sasuke frowned and didn't move a muscle.
"Sasuke! Give them back now!" Shingen roared Sasuke flinched and threw the two swords at her. She easily turned and caught it.
"Sasuke, you will go with her and protect her, make sure she comes back safely." Sasuke began to protest, but when Shingen glared at him, he stopped. "Y-Yes , my lord." He mumbled as he followed Takara out. She whistled softly and the red bird landed gracefully on her shoulder. She gazed at the bird and stroked it gently. "Show me the way…" She whispered and the bird cawed and flew off. Takara and Sasuke followed in silence, both knowing this was going to be a long mission.
