酒は呑んでも呑まれるな

Don't Let Alcohol Consume You

Kasane x Nobunaga

Part Three

"Wakya!"

After carried off to his room, Kasane was thrown on top of his bed. He pinned down her arms so she couldn't escape.

"To-tono,sama...Hya…"

With his large hand, Nobunaga traced her body. She shrank away.

"U-um…! Tono-sama I believe you have an important meeting with your vassals early tomorrow morning-"

Kasane started throwing out questions to find a chance to escape.

But as expected, Nobunaga took no interest at the question and answered it right away.

"You only need to think about me."

Saying that, Nobunaga kissed her.

It was just a gentle peck on the lips, but it was enough for Kasane's heart to throb violently.

After that, Nobunaga continued on, raining light kisses on her head, cheek, and collar bone.

"T-the sake…?! Y-you don't need to drink any?!"

In dire haste, Kasane tried to change this mood.

"...I only need you."

With just one sentence, Kasane reached the pinnacle of anxiety.

"...Ah."

Feeling his hands under her clothes, Kasane hurriedly grabbed onto his arms to stop him from advancing any further.

"Impossible! Impossible, impossible! This is totally impossible for me! ! I'msosorryI'lldoanykindoftorturousandirrationalworkyouthrowatme,justanythingwilldosopleaseforgivemethistime~."*

Wildly disoriented and creating a big fuss, Nobunaga frowned at Kasane.

"Anything?"

Kasane stiffly nodded with tears in her eyes.

As long as it wasn't what Nobunaga was planning to do with her now, she was fine with anything.

"...Then give me a kiss."

"...What?"

"If you do that, I'll let you off this time."

As he disconsolately said that, Kasane blushed as she looked up at him.

"T-that's… impossible…"

"I see."

His hands, that were still under her clothes, continued upwards.

"Wah~! Wait! I-I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Hearing her words, Nobunaga's hands halted. He faced her.

With his face close to hers, she could see herself reflected in his crimson eyes.

She somehow felt embarrassed by that and averted her eyes.

"Hurry up."

"...~! ! C-could you at least close your eyes…"

"...Would this suffice."

Though in an annoyed tone, he obediently closed his eyes.

She stared at his handsome face.

(...Eeei! Be prepared like you're going to get bitten by a dog, Kusanagi Kasane…!)

She braced herself and forcibly came closer to Nobunaga.

"!"

Kasane softly kissed his cheek and quickly separated from him.

He opened his eyes and stared at her.

"I-it's just the cheek, b-but it should be fine right?"

"..."

Kasane speedily said with a bright red face as she looked up at him.

"..."

With this weird silence coming from him, somehow everything felt uncomfortable.

If there was a hole she would like to bury herself into it. That was the exact state of mind she was in.

"Wah…!?"

At the same time Nobunaga, who kept quiet all this time, suddenly embraced her and buried his face him her hair.

Unable to resist with her thin body, she found herself drawn to him.

"To-tono...sama?"

She fearfully called out to him in his arms.

However, with no answer she felt him collapse over her, pushing her down again. Kasane's eyes widened.

"W-wait, you promised me that you wouldn't…!"

"There's no reason to withdraw now…"

Bringing his face into the crook of her neck, he left traces of his kisses.

"Wait! P-please…!"

With all her might she tried to push him off; his body did not move an inch.

"I'm seriously sorry, please forgive…!"

"..."

Kasane, now crying, began to implore him.

At the same time, she noticed that he suddenly stopped moving.

Though doubtful, when she pushed her hands towards his chest, she could feel the regular breathing pattern of a sleeping person.

"H-he's asleep…"

It seems that the sake took its course over him.

Kasane became dumbfounded at this.

After doing all that self-indulgence, he just falls asleep!?

She cursed at this inconceivable event, but for the time being she managed to escape that crisis. She heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

She really couldn't stay calm in this position with Nobunaga, so she tried to take this chance to escape from him… but Nobunaga showed no signs of letting his tight grip around her loosen, which led her trapped.

(I, I can't get out…)

Giving up on her escape, she managed to calm herself down. Still within the embrace of Nobunaga, she glanced up at him.

(I can hear his heartbeat…)

With her head just near his chest, she placed her ear closer to him and heard the thumps of his heart.

(Somehow it's calming...)

Now that there's no chance of her escaping from him, Kasane defiantly drew closer to him.

"His sleeping face isn't that scary though…"

Kasane quietly muttered.

Just when she wondered when Nobunaga ever rests, she discovers this defenseless expression. It's as if she could almost forgive everything he did just moments before. She's just too good natured isn't she.

Could it mean that he feels relaxed enough to fall asleep with her?

When she thought it that way, it made her a bit happy; Kasane faintly blushed and shook her head.

...His face right now is a bit cute… maybe.

As if he were some big child.

Somehow she managed to crawl up to his face.

His eyebrows were still slanted, but it was still somewhat a calm expression,

(I'll never be able to say that to Tono-sama though…)

She gave him a light kiss on the forehead.

She felt incredibly embarrassed of her actions a second later and crawled back down at her original position.

Grabbing his clothes, she hid her face into his chest.

(Somehow, I'm now getting sleepy here…)

Nobunaga's warmth, his faint heartbeat at her ear strangely beckoned drowsiness to her.

"Good night, Tono-sama…"

Although she expected no answer, she still said it to him.

As expected, no answer came from him. Gazing up at his defenseless face, she amusedly chuckled and closed her eyes.

Next Morning

"...Hnn~..."

"... (...Why is this girl sleeping beside me in my room?)."

Cradling his head from a hangover, he glanced down at Kasane, who was still comfortably deep asleep. He frowned as he tilted his head with uncertainty.

*I'm so sorry I'll do any kind of torturous and irrational work you throw at me, just anything will do so please forgive me this time~
