Chapter 6: Siege of Azuchi Castle
After 5 days of traveling the Takeda finally made it to Azuchi. They settled in and began making camp. After building the camp all the officers had free time because the battle will not begin till the next day at dawn, Kunoichi wanted to survey the area so she vanished into thin air. As she surveyed the area she noticed a pond to her right. She walked over to it. There were two fish in the pond. They were koi fish, but not just any koi fish. These koi were the ones Nobunaga was going to kill! Kunoichi fall on her knees and began to cry. Tomorrow she was to die. Die and never see the light of morning again. Never to see. . . . . . "A lost cause." said a mysterious figure behind her who was standing against a tree. "Why do you say that, Lord Yukimura?" asked Kunoichi "Well…..let's just say that a little birdy told me about someone's little fate." explained Yukimura "Let me guess. Mitsunari told you, right?" said Kunoichi as she walked over and stood in front of Yukimura "Correctamoondo, my dear ninja!" said Yukimura with a smile Kunoichi fell silent. "What's wrong, Kunoichi?" "……….I do not want to die yet. Not know. It is too early to die. I'm only nineteen and you're like what? Your late twenties?" "Actually I'm only twenty-four." "Okay never mind then." "I don't want you to die either Kunoichi," said Yukimura as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to his body. He cupped her chin and tilted her head up so she was staring straight into his eyes. "You're my best and only friend besides Mitsunari, and I…" "Yes." "I…….love…" "Yukimura! Kunoichi! Lord Shingen wants you two back at camp. He wants us all to get plenty of rest before the battle tomorrow." Said Katsuyori "We will be there in a second!" said Yukimura "So what were you saying?" asked Kunoichi "Nothing. Let us go back to camp." "Okay! Last one there is a nasty Norc!" said Kunoichi with a smile as she ran back to camp. "Heh heh! Sweet girl, but I might have to tell Lord Shingen about the prophecy." Said Yukimura under his breath. Once Yukimura got back to camp he went into the tent. When he got in the tent Kunoichi was already asleep! Yukimura could not believe his eyes but he believes he knows the answer to the question Mitsunari asked him.

Yukimura smiled and walk over to the bed and laid down beside Kunoichi. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Then, he leaned closer to her ear and said. "I love you, Kunoichi..." and kissed her lips. A grunt came out of her mouth as she wrapped her arm around Yukimura without even relieving what she was doing. He just smiled. Yukimura fell into a peaceful sleep.
