Chapter Ten

Mitsunari's eyes grew wide when Kanbei began to float through the air.

Aimlessly, like a rag doll, and he came right in his face.

He jumped back and nearly fell into a growling Motonari.

Yoshitsugu laughed again, and said,"You kids shouldn't be here. You do know this prison is private property...you wouldn't want the police to catch you now, hmm?"

"So what are you doing here then?" Motochika asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm using Kanbei Kuroda as my puppet. Such deep misery lies within him..he'll do well for me.." Yoshitsugu replied.

His eyes suddenly landed on Mitsunari, and a wide smile came to his lips, as he began moving towards him.

Mitsunari gasped, and began walking backwards again.

"Stay back!" he yelled.

Yoshitsugu laughed once more, his sadistic laugh vibrating off the walls of the prison.

"Ah yes..a shy one..Ishida..Mitsunari.."

"H-how do you know my name?" he asked.

"I know all your names; Mitsunari, Motochika, Motonari, Masamune, and precious little Miya..ah yes...the Demon's Daughter.."

"And all your other friends; Keiji, Magoichi, Yukimura, Sasuke.."

Once again, another laugh left him, and he began to hack and cough.

Motonari put a protective arm around Miya's waist and held her tight, as Yoshitsugu's beady eyes pierced her.

"Such rich and privileged kids...so healthy...so beautiful..."

"I hate it!"

He began to float around the group in his palanquin, "You all have everything so perfect! And I..I am filled with such misery and sickness! I want you all to suffer like
me...suffer forever!"

Then he stopped, and looked at them calmly. He smiled and said,"Well...I suppose it won't do any good...no, no...that won't do."

"Leave." he added.

Everyone looked at Yoshitsugu in confusion.

"You kids heard me! Leave before I change my mind!"

And with that, they all left. As if they all didn't have enough to deal with; the Alliance, hiding Ieyasu and Mitsunari's affair, Hisahide Matsunaga, and now this psycho who is hellbent on making them suffer.

Masamune sat at the driver's seat, hands shaking as he gripped the wheel. He shuddered, hands shaking more when he tried to put the key in to start the car.

Everyone piled in the back, and tried to relax.

"I swear to god, it's always something new..." Motochika said.

"What do you think he'll do?" Mitsunari asked. "I don't know." Motonari said,"I've known that man briefly...he suffers from leprosy, and he's incredibly miserable.."

"He seems jealous of us, huh?" Masamune asked.

"We're the most powerful and rich families in the city...no wonder we'd be on top of his list." Mitsunari said.

"Well, you guys at least. Why you'd take someone like me into your life." Motochika said with a laugh.

"Relax, you're special to us regardless of your social status." Miya said with a smirk.

Masamune, finally calmed down, started the car, and said,"Alright, I'm taking everyone home now?"

"Take Motonari to my place." Motochika said, causing Motonari to squeak and blush wildly.

Motochika smiled and said,"Oh Mouri..you know you love it."

"Shut up.." he growled.

"Mitsunari?" Masamune asked.

"Home is fine." he replied.

"Miya?" Masamune asked.

"Home." she replied.

When everyone went home, Masamune sighed and turned off the lights, ready for bed.

Yoshitsugu's words rang deep in all their minds and hearts. It was terrifying.

Thanks to Miya's words, Nobunaga and the rest of the Oda were aware of him.

He told them that they needn't worry about it. That he was just bitter. But it didn't make them feel any better.

The subject was brought up again at the next counsel. And once again, everyone said the same thing, that Yoshitsugu Otani was harmless.

"Oh sure, he's harmless alright, Hideyoshi-sama! He used some kind of crazy ritual on Kanbei Kuroda, and now they're floating to god knows where!" Mitsunari yelled, when they walked into the house.

"Mitsunari, please keep your voice down..ok, so he's got some kind of witchcraft thing going on..no big deal. Have you forgotten my boss is a demon overlord?" Hideyoshi replied, looking out the window, in deep thought.

"Sir?" Mitsunari asked. Hideyoshi snapped out of it and said,"Oh..I'm sorry. My mind ran away for a second."

Mitsunari smirked and said,"Alright." And with that, he left, to go back to his room.

Hideyoshi wore a sad smile and watched Mitsunari go up the steps. He was quietly losing patience with everything...it was just happening far too slow. Beside him, Hanbei smirked, knowing exactly what was on Hideyoshi's mind.

They had thrown a party at Kojuro's house. To his surprise, Ieyasu, Keiji, Magoichi, and Motochika were there, too. They threw confetti in the room, brought banners, balloons, and a cake. "But...my birthday was two months ago.." Kojuro said in confusion. Miya dove into his arms, kissing him, and replied,"It's to celebrate your recovery, idiot."

A smile came across Kojuro's lips as returned the kiss, grabbing his crutches to walk across the room to the table where the vanilla cake was. "He'll be on those for a while.." Miya said with a frown,"hasn't Matsunaga put him through enough..?"

Magoichi approached Miya with a drink, and said,"Where is Motonari? I'd think that if Motochika is here, or if you're here, he'd show up." Miya took the drink and said,"What do you mean if I'm here?" "Isn't it obvious?" Magoichi said, when the two walked over to the snack table.

They dodged Masamune's swinging legs as Keiji swung him around, and she added,"Motonari is completely gaga over you..." "And you don't think I already know that? I've tried to ignore it, honestly." Miya snapped. She sighed and said,"He's showed signs, and I've seen the look in his eyes, but he knows about me and Kojuro. And he has Motochika...it just doesn't make sense. Don't you think he'd show signs of being jealous?"

"He IS jealous, Miya. He's very jealous of Kojuro." Magoichi replied. Miya stopped mid-speech. "He...he is?" she asked. "Honey...he told me everything. I went into his house and demanded he tell me. You needed to know..." Magoichi replied. "You don't think...that he'll do anything to Kojuro, do you?" Miya asked. Magoichi shook her head and replied,"Motonari is a pipsqueak compared to Kojuro, Kojuro would murder him in a fight."

"But...he's sneaky...he's-" Miya said,"he..he won't do anything to me, will he?" "Heavens no!" Magoichi replied, refilling Miya's drink,"he looks at you as a goddess, he'd never harm you."

"A goddess, huh?" Miya said quietly, shaking her head.

She quickly drank her drink, and went to the cooler to grab another one, when Kojuro raised his eyebrow and approached Magoichi. "Everything alright?" he asked. "She's fine. Just a little stressed maybe, but she's fine." she replied.

"Hey, come here for a second." Ieyasu said to Miya, pulling her aside, into Kojuro's room. He closed the door and sat on the bed, facing her. She finished her beer and said,"Ieyasu...there's a problem..." "What is it?" he asked. He watched her shake nervously, and wrapped his arms around her to steady her. "Motonari..." she replied. Ieyasu looked at her with a silly smile and said,"What about him?"

"He...apparently he likes me, and I'm afraid-" she replied, before Ieyasu chimed in,"That's it? I'm sorry to interrupt, but we all knew that. Silly girl." "What the fuck?! Everybody knows?!" she shouted. "Motonari makes it pretty obvious. I'm surprised Chosokabe hasn't figured it out yet..and I'm surprised it took you this long." he said.

"What, are you calling me stupid?! I already knew that..I didn't know that everyone else knew too..jesus fucking christ!"

Ieyasu laughed nervously and said,"Come here, you're drunk, sweetie." "I am no one's sweetie!" she shouted. "Alright...alright..just come here." he sighed. She sighed, and lay limp in Ieyasu's arms, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"To think...this is so odd...you're my...my uncle.." she giggled. "Indeed I am...Uncle Ieyasu...how does that sound?" he said nervously. "I hate it." she growled. "Yeah, I don't like it too much either...anyway, listen...I'm gonna go through with it." he said.

She looked at him and said,"Go..through with what?" "I'm going to div-" he was about to say, when Kojuro knocked on the door. "Hey, come on out, you guys, I'm going to bed.."

Ieyasu and Miya looked at each other, and walked out the room. He still kept his arm around her waist to hold her steady when they walked out to the living room. He sat Miya on the couch and gave her a piece of cake, when Masamune sat beside her. "You guys are more than welcome to stay, but keep the volume down, please?" Kojuro asked, swallowing his pain medication. He groaned and closed the door, hitting the bed.

Ieyasu came close to Miya and whispered in her ear,"I'll tell you later, ok?" She nodded, and curled into Magoichi, as the beautiful redhead took the seat beside her. Behind them, Motochika was pacing back and forth in the living room, his phone to his ear, sighing.

"Everything ok?" Ieyasu asked. "Motonari isn't answering his phone..it's going straight to voicemail." Motochika replied. "Hmm...that's not like him." Ieyasu said.

"Masamune...can you go check up on Kojuro? I don't think he's taking too well with his medication." Miya said. "Sure." Masamune replied, getting up from the couch. With the extra room, Miya sprawled out on Magoichi's lap, as Magoichi played with her violet hair. "It'll be ok, princess...I promise. And if it's not, then I'll make it ok." Miya curled into her hold, grateful for her.

"Of course, you're Mama Sayaka." Miya said. Magoichi smiled and said,"I like the sound of that."

"Yo! Someone help me with Kojuro! He just threw up all over the place!" Masamune yelled. Miya gasped and yelled out Kojuro's name, diving over the couch and into his room.

Masamune sat his best friend up against the bed post and gave him some water, after cleaning him up.

"Maaan. Wild party, Kojuro." he said with a smile. Kojuro rolled his eyes and drank more, when Miya lay in his arms.

Kojuro wrapped his arms around her, and that was everyone's cue to leave.

Once they were alone, Kojuro began to remove her clothing, doing the same to himself, when she began to kiss his leg wound. He moaned, watching her lips move up and down his body.

Despite his injury, he rolled on top of her, kissing her. She replied his kiss in kind, but began cringing in the middle of it. "Honey?" he asked. "Masamune didn't do that great of a job cleaning you up...lemme guess, you had a bad reaction to the pain pills?" she asked. "Yeah, they're disgusting." he replied, drinking from the glass of water she left for him.

Once he swallowed the water, he pulled her towards him and began to kiss her. "Now, where were we?" he said, his smile full of lust.

"I love you." she breathed tenderly. He smiled, kissing her lovingly. "I love you too." he replied, continuing with his delicate movement. She threw her body back, moaning with each thrust, running her hands through his hair that had quickly become undone. "I need you..." she moaned in his ear, her breathing quickening in his ear, further turning him on.

She needed to get Motonari off her mind. It was Kojuro she loved, while she adored and appreciated Motonari, she knew he could never be the man Kojuro was.

Meanwhile, at Motonari's house, Motochika managed to get a hold of him, and surprised him with flowers. Motonari blushed sweetly, and let Motochika in, the two of them quickly finding themselves in between his bedsheets.

Motochika wasn't going to ask why Motonari didn't answer his phone, he figured he was on the phone with Terumoto. None of that mattered anyway, as Motonari leaned back, moaning into each of Motochika's powerful thrusts.

"Oh Mouri.." he moaned, kissing his beautiful lover. Motonari dug his nails into Motochika's back, holding on with each thrust, screaming illegible curses and moans in his lover's shoulder.

He was pulled onto Chosokabe's lap, riding him, leaning back, as his neck was devoured by Motochika's lips.

Morning came slowly at the Katakura residence. A satisfied smile spread across Miya's lips as she rose, turning to Kojuro's side, as the blanket fell from her chest, exposing her breasts.

Kojuro's eyes went straight to her breasts and said,"Hmm..good morning to you too..."

They kissed tenderly, and he rolled on top of her, ready for another round.

Back at Ieyasu's home, Ieyasu lay comfortably and happily, with Mitsunari beside him.

Ichi had spent the night at Tsuru's house, and Ieyasu grew bold enough to have Mitsunari over.

"Ieyasu.." Mitsunari moaned, as the two kissed.

"Mitsu..nari.." Ieyasu replied, kissing him back. They didn't make love last night, as Ieyasu feared that Ichi would come back.

He was bold, but not that bold.

He pulled Mitsunari on his lap kissing him, as he began to pull his boxer shorts down. "Ichi isn't coming back.." he whispered against his lips. Mitsunari smiled and said,"Good..put your hands all over me."

"Mm..I was just getting to that." Ieyasu replied, watching as Mitsunari's boxers fell from his hips.

"Mitsunari...you are so sexy.." Ieyasu moaned. "Yeah.." Mitsunari moaned. Ieyasu wrapped his hand around Mitsunari's rapidly hardening cock, stroking delicately.

A laugh left Mitsunari's lips, looking down at Ieyasu's fist.

They kissed again, Ieyasu's fist moving faster, as Mitsunari moaned into his lips. "You're amazing.." he moaned. Mitsunari's hips moved with Ieyasu's fist, and he quickly found himself closer and closer to release.

"Ieyasu? I'm home!"

Mitsunari and Ieyasu's kiss grew deeper, tongues dancing, when they heard footsteps in the house. "Ieyasu?"

They stopped.

"Ieyasu?"

"Ichi is home!" Mitsunari whispered angrily. "Shit!" Ieyasu yelled. "Hurry up, Ieyasu! Hide me!" Mitsunari yelled. Quickly, the two got dressed, Mitsunari lay on the bed, faking sick, when Ichi walked in the bedroom.

"Hello, Ichi." Ieyasu said, hugging her. "Hello. Um...why is Mitsunari in here?" she asked, looking over Ieyasu's shoulder. "Hi, Ichi." Mitsunari said with a cough. "After Kojuro's party, I met up with Mitsunari and we went to Geno's. He got sick, and I decided to keep him here instead of taking him home." Ieyasu replied. "Oh. Well, that's nice of you, dear." Ichi said, still feeling odd about having Mitsunari on her side of the bed.

"So..how was Tsuru?" Ieyasu asked, wrapping an arm around Ichi's shoulder. He walked her out of the bedroom, when he cocked his head at Mitsunari, telling him to go.

Outside, Magoichi's red car waited.

Mitsunari jumped off the balcony, and into the car, driving away, as Ichi fainted in the living room.

"Jesus Christ.." Ieyasu muttered, tossing Ichi on the bed.

He was tempted to join Mitsunari in flying out the window, but he couldn't just leave Ichi alone like this. Sure, he didn't love her, but that didn't mean he didn't care to help her. A child of the Oda, Ichi didn't ask for this. And she didn't ask for whatever shit fate threw at her.

As he looked her up and down, looked at how peaceful she looked as she slept, he wondered. "Perhaps I should know more about you...why you're like this...what happened to Nagamasa..."

He sighed and walked out to the kitchen, getting dinner ready, and began to think. Maybe he'd like her better if he simply understood her.

Magoichi's red car sped through South Street, going towards Mitsunari's house. As she drove, Mitsunari could tell she was tense. She looked angrier than ever.

"Hey...Magoichi...is everything ok?" he asked. "Hmm? Yes. It's fine." she replied. When they made it to a red light, he watched as her shaking fingers fidgeted with the radio.

Mitsunari took her hand away, and said,"Stop it. Stop lying. Tell me what's wrong."

When they made it to Mitsunari's house, Magoichi sighed and stopped the car. "I'm upset about Motochika." "Motochika?" he asked. Magoichi nodded. "Motonari and Miya are really close. Like, really close. I get the feeling she's become closer to him since you started seeing Ieyasu...and she might be closer to him than to Kojuro. And I don't like it."

"They can be close, but I don't get what you're saying..." he said. She sighed and leaned back in her chair. "Motochika might be a bit dumb. Maybe even oblivious sometimes, but I think he's aware something's going on. Whatever it is, I know it's affecting Motochika. And it hurts me to see him hurt. Whatever is going on with Miya and Motonari, it damn well better stop. I will not let them hurt him."

"Wait..you seriously think Miya's fucking Motonari behind Kojuro and Motochika's backs?" Mitsunari asked. "What else is it?!" she yelled,"Motonari's been acting strange, and the way Miya acted when I brought it up at Kojuro's house.."

"You have to be blind, Magoichi. Have you seen Motonari?! He's a fucking doll compared to Kojuro." he said.

"I don't know...just the way I've seen them interact with each other. That little stunt he pulled at Gwar. Even before, pushing Motochika off the front seat so she could sit there, trying to protect her in the mosh pit, dancing all over her, then running to her side at Shampoo...I see the way he looks at her, too." she sighed,"you were with them at the Penitentiary, right? Did they look...odd to you?"

"No." Mitsunari replied,"just on one occasion when I saw her in Motonari's arms because she saw a rat. He actually seemed rather annoyed that she jumped on him."

Magoichi sighed and said,"I confronted Motonari on the whole thing. I drove all the way to his house and demanded he tell me everything. I don't know, I just freaked out. I mean...Motochika is my best friend.."

"What did he say?" he asked. Magoichi sighed. "He told me I had nothing to worry about. That Motochika was the only one for him. But I'm still not convinced..."

"So there's nothing going on, Magoichi, you're looking too much into this." he said. "She knew Motonari before Kojuro." she said. "But she never showed any implication or interest in him. She didn't even like Kojuro at first." he said.

Magoichi sighed.

"If there's anything, Motonari has a crush on her, but it's not reciprocated. We all know about Motonari's crush, it's really no big deal, listen, don't let it bother you. No one will betray anyone. If there's anything to worry about, worry about that psychopath Hisahide Matsunaga running around."

Magoichi shuddered and said,"Goodnight, Mitsunari.", dropping him off at the house.

Before Mitsunari could reply, she fled away. "...but it's the afternoon.."

He sighed, and walked back in the house, where he saw Hanbei sitting on the couch, watching the television. The channel was stuck to the local news, a sigh leaving Hanbei's lips. "Another day, another crisis.."

"Hanbei-sama?" he asked. Hanbei turned to Mitsunari and smiled, hugging him. Mitsunari returned the hug and Hanbei said,"Come on, we're about to start dinner.", leading him into the dining room.

He wanted to speak, wanted to scold Mitsunari on his whereabouts, but he didn't want to push him away either. He knew emotions were strained due to his relationship with Ieyasu.

"I'll have to thank that lovely Magoichi for dropping you off. She's a pretty girl, have you ever thought of dating her?" he asked. Mitsunari looked at him like he was crazy. "She is dating Keiji Maeda." he replied. Hanbei smiled and said,"Is she? That's nice to know. Keiji is a good boy. He'll treat her well. So what about that other girl, the one who was here the other night? Nobunaga's daughter is very pretty, you know."

"She's also head over heels in love with Kojuro Katakura." Mitsunari replied. Again, Hanbei giggled. "Of course. Sometimes I forget they were still together." "Hanbei-sama...he took a bullet for her last week..." Mitsunari said.

Hanbei froze with his salad fork in the air.

"My apologies." he said.

Mitsunari looked at him incredulously. After that incident at Shampoo, you just don't forget things like that. Still, he ignored it when Hanbei went into the kitchen to take out the dinner in the oven.

Hideyoshi was away at the Oda residence, playing cards in the basement with Nobunaga and Katsuie. Ranmaru was also at the house, keeping an eye on the dueling siblings.

The phone went off, and Hanbei rose to answer it, going into the kitchen, leaning on the wall. Mitsunari knew he shouldn't be curious, but he was.

A few moments later, Hanbei returned and asked,"Do you have plans for tonight, Mitsunari?" "No, why?" Mitsunari asked. "Nobunaga-sama wants to go to Atlantic City and overlook the progress on the Revel. Do you want to come with us?" Hanbei said,"actually, yes, come with us. Nobunaga-sama is bringing his daughter, bring your friends, make a night out of it."

"Uh..sure..yeah!" Mitsunari said, finishing his dinner.

Hanbei got off the phone with Hideyoshi and took Mitsunari's hand. "Ieyasu is coming, too. I'll be keeping my eye on you two. Don't do anything risky."

"O-of course, Hanbei-sama." Mitsunari said, going to his room.

"Mitsunari! I'm serious!" he yelled. He was only greeted with the sound of a door closing. "Of course...he knows. And here I am acting like an overprotective mother. It's only natural...the poor kid is being torn in half.."
