Chapter 5: The Journey to Azuchi

The next day was beautiful, bright, and the grass was covered in a fresh coat of dew. The birds were singing, the swans were swimming in the lake, the…. "WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!!!" ………Loud, obnoxious voice of Katsuyori Takeda. Masakage Yamagata stuck his head out of his tent and yelled, "What the heck!? It's 6:00 AM!!" "Last night father told me to wake everybody up at six instead of nine." "Do you always do what daddy says?" "NO!" "Bet you do!" "Hmph!" and with that Katsuyori walked away and never talked to Masakage for the rest of the morning.

Go wake them up, please." Ordered Shingen "Yes, Sir!" said Masakage and Masatoyo as they went to wake up Yukimura and Kunoichi. When they got to Yukimura and Kunoichi's tent and opened the tent door they could not believe their eyes. Kunoichi was on top of Yukimura and his hands were around her waist, and to add to that Yukimura did not have a shirt on!!! "Agh!!!" screamed Masatoyo "Holy Sugar Honey Ice Tea!!!" yelled Masakage and with that Yukimura and Kunoichi woke up with a scream. "What's going on!?!?" asked Yukimura "Man Sanada, put your shirt on!!!" yelled Masakage "Forget about the shirt!! What the heck is going on here!!??"

Tell the Lord that we will be there shortly and that we are sorry for the delay." said Yukimura "Okay, but hurry up!" ordered Masatoyo

Another Time Skip

"Sorry we're late my Lord. Please forgive us." said Yukimura and Kunoichi as they bowed to Shingen "All is forgiven. Now let us go. We head for Azuchi to face against Nobunaga!" said Shingen After hearing Nobunaga's name send chills down Yukimura and Kunoichi's back. Both of them knew what was going to happen there, but they did not know that the other knew.
