Ch. 5

The world slowly came to focus as Yukimura finally woke up. He stared at the dark ceiling, trying to remember what happened. The sound of a door opening and footsteps interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head and saw a dark haired girl coming towards him with a bundle of bandages in her arms. She knelt next to him and smiled.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Kikyo," the girl said. "And I know who you are, Young Tiger of Kai."

Yukimura was confused. He sat up, with Kikyo's help, and watched her unwrap the bandage around his chest.

"Where am I?" he asked.

"You're in Toyotomi's compound in Osaka," Kikyo answered. "This is going to sting a little."

Yukimura was really confused. The last thing he remembered was fighting Date Masamune. He let out a sudden hiss when Kikyo put salve on his wound.

"Sorry," she mumbled, but Yukimura didn't hear her. He was thinking about Lord Shingen reacting to the news of his capture. Would he come after him? Of course he would! There's no way he'll leave him here. Sasuke wouldn't like that, but then again he might. The sound Kikyo's voice brought Yukimura back to reality. He looked at her and saw worry etched on her face, but her eyes portrayed sorrow.

"You okay?" she asked. "I'm fine," he replied.

She nodded. "Okay, I'll go get you some food. I bet you're hungry." She stood up and walked out, but not before taking one last glance at warrior.


Kikyo walked down the hallway in a daze. She remembered when the soldiers brought the warrior from Kai to the compound. He was unconscious and bleeding from a wound on his chest. She knew Ishida Mitsunari was involved in some way, but didn't know how. Them she thought about her little brother, alone and hiding in Tokugawa territory. I'll find you soon, little brother. I promise. Then a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
