Chapter 2: Sleepless Night
After the exciting banquet Yukimura and Kunoichi walked back to their tent laughing because Katsuyori was drunk and kept on falling and knocking things over. The whole night was a blast. Once they got to the tent they got ready for bed, talked for a while, and had a great time before bed. Yukimura was teasing her by taking her hat and Kushinadas and started acting like her. She didn't like it at all so she tried to get her weapons and hat back ,but tripped over her own feet and fell………..on the bed on top of Yukimura!! "Owww! Sorry Lord Yukimura. You okay?" asked Kunoichi blushing "Yeah I'm fine." Yukimura said as he laid her Kushinadas on the floor and placed her hat on the daggers. "That was not funny, you know." added Kunoichi "Sorry. I just can't help myself; such is the way of the Sanada." "Really know." "It's the truth! I'm not lying!" "Okay Okay! Nothing to see here!" "……………..Kunoichi?" "Yeah?" "You can get off of me anytime now." "Oh!...heh heh……….Sorry." said Kunoichi as she rolled off of Yukimura and laid flat on the bed. As Yukimura and Kunoichi were trying to go to sleep, Yukimura remembered something that Masakage said to him at the banquet.
Flashback:
"Hey Yukimura. Sorry about what I did to Kunoichi. I do not know what came over me. You forgive me?" said Masakage "It's okay, but the one you should apologize to is Kunoichi." replied Yukimura "Yeah, okay. But something still bugs me. Why did you say 'You touch her again I swear I'll kill you……..'. What was that all about? Do you like her or something?" said Masakage suspiciously. "Wha?! No! She is my best friend. Like I would fall in love with her!" Yelled Yukimura "Right. Sure. Whatever." added Masakage

"Do I like her more as a friend?" thought Yukimura
Yukimura looked to his right to see if Kunoichi was asleep. She was. The sight of her sleeping made Yukimura smile and blush a little. So he pulled the blanket over her body and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Good night Moon Goddess" whispered Yukimura "Good night daddy" said Kunoichi in her sleep "Again with the word 'Daddy'!! How old does she think I am?!" said Yukimura as he drifted to sleep still thinking about the colors of Kunoichi's Necklace.
