Sheltered
Okuni huffed, her considerable bosom heaving, and dabbed moisture from her brow. It was pouring, leaving her stuck to wait until the rain stopped or ruin her kimono.
Benitora had come to her rescue, offering a wooden umbrella and babbling. She did not listen, save to put in a snide retort.
The idiot held no appeal to her; he was ridiculous and, compared to Kyo, possessed no mystery and lacked strength.
…Still, he secretly was Tokugawa's heir, and the duality was interesting, she guessed. What's more, if uninjured, he might have been able to slay Nobunaga, a no small feat.
Okuni sighed exasperatedly and allowed herself to be sheltered by the oaf.
I'm calling out a challenge to whoever would like to take up the theme. Pick a couple (as randomly as you wish), an element, and keep the drabble within 100-150 words.
