Chapter 7: Battle Begins
It was 6:00 and the Oda and Takeda forces were in position. Kunoichi was in front of Yukimura. He could not stop thinking about the prophecy that was supposed to occur today. He told Shingen about the prophecy. When Shingen heard this he could not believe what he was hearing.
Flashback
"My stars! I can not believe what I am hearing!" said Shingen (A/N: I told you!!) "I know my Lord! This is defiantly serious! We have to stop it at all cost!' yelled Yukimura "……..No……" "Excuse me my Lord." "Not we. You." "What?!" "Just as Mitsunari said. Only the Immortal Legend can, and that means you." "Yes my Lord." "But one other thing.." "Yes my lord?" 'Send one of your ten braves to the pond you saw last night. Send him there to watch Nobunaga's movements. If he sees anything suspicious have him report it to either you or me." "Got it!" Yukimura called for Saizo and informed him on the plan.
End Flashback
Yukimura walks up to Kunoichi. "You gonna be alright, Kunoichi?" asked Yukimura "Yeah I'll be fine and yes I'll try to stay away from Nobunaga and the pond.' Replied Kunoichi Yukimura wrapped his arms around her and said, "You be safe, okay." "Okay" Yukimura gave her a quick peck on the cheek and went back to his post near Saizou. "Yukimura and Kunoichi sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g…" teased Saizou "Would you shut up and go to the pond already!!!???" yelled Yukimura blushing "Ha Ha!! Yes my Lord, and I'm sorry. I could not resist!" as he vanished into the sky. "Whatever…." All of a sudden, Yukimura heard a sound that sounded like a horn. It was the signal to tell the Takeda that the Oda were ready. At that moment, Yukimura's heart sunk. Right now he dreaded that sound. To him it was a symbol that Kunoichi's fate was drawing nearer. He really wished that today would end and that Kunoichi did not have to die. Only he can stop this fate. "Yukimura? Yukimura? . . . . . . . . .YUKIMURA!!!!!" yelled Lord Shingen "Agh! Yes, My Lord?" "Mitsuhide is coming this way to set up a fire attack . I want you and Kunoichi to eliminate him immediately." "Yes, Sir!" said Yukimura and Kunoichi as they rushed off to stop Mitsuhide's fire attack. "Why do you think Nobunaga wants Mitsuhide to set up a fire attack?" Asked Kunoichi 'Don't you remember the old proverb? 'One must destroy in order to create.' I bet Nobunaga is planning on destroying his own castle." Explained Yukimura "Why would he want to destroy Azuchi castle?' "I dunno." said Yukimura as he shrugged his shoulders. "Well your smart!" "Look!! It's Mitsuhide!! Let's get him!!" "This'll be fun!" said Kunoichi "What?! How did the enemy know that I was preparing the fire attack!?" thought Mitsuhide "DIE MITSUHIDE!!!!!!!!" yelled Yukimura and Kunoichi as they attacked Mitsuhide. "Forget the fire attack! Let's retreat for now!" Yelled Mitsuhide as he and his men retreated "Well! That was fun!" said Kunoichi with a smile. "You just can't live without the thrill..." murmured Yukimura. "What was that?" asked Kunoichi. "Nothing! Nothing at all!" said Yukimura."Okay! Weird!" "What was that?" asked Yukimura "Nothing!" replied Kunoichi "Okay then! Lets us be going to the gate and find Nobunaga!" ordered Yukimura as he runs toward the gate. "Sure thing boss!!" said Kunoichi in a go happy voice Yukimura stops running and gives Kunoichi a weird look. "...What?" asked Kunoichi "Please, don't call me boss" asked Yukimura "Oh! Sorry. I won't" said Kunoichi. Yukimura grabbed Kunoichi's hand and said, "Come on we do not have much time!" Yukimura started to run, still holding Kunoichi's small hand. She blushed as she followed behind him. They soon arrived at the gate and were amazed at its size. "A clever contraption! This gate is indeed impressive! I suppose that is what the enemy would like to here." "Muhahahahahaha!. . . . . ." said an ominous figure. "Agh! What's that?!" screamed Kunoichi as she hid behind Yukimura. "Don't worry Kunoichi. I'll protect you. Just stay behind me, okay?" said Yukimura as he turned and smiled at her. Kunoichi's face turned many shades of pink and red. "Now, show yourself you fiend!!!!!" yelled Yukimura as he pointed his Susano at the ominous figure. "Hey calm down! I come in peace!" Said Keiji with a smile and doing the Alien hello symbol with his hand. "Okay..." said Kunoichi "Any who, I'm Keiji Maeda, servant of the Oda. Yet, I plan on not fighting you two." Said Keiji "Why?" asked Kunoichi "Well, during a meeting, Lord Nobunaga informed us on his plan I was in shock. I could not believe he would want to hurt the one and only Moon Goddess. I mean the moon is the one I turn to when I'm down in the dumps." said Keiji with a smile. "So does that mean you are betraying the Oda?" asked Yukimura "Yes, and I was hoping that Lord Shingen would let me join. Do you two know where I can find him?" "He's at the main camp." Said Yukimura, point to the direction of the Takeda main camp. "Thanks!!!" said Keiji as he ran towards the camp. "Okay, that was a total waste of time. . . . ." said Kunoichi staring at Yukimura "I know" said Yukimura rubbing his forehead. "My Lord..." said Saizo as he appeared right in front of Yukimura and Kunoichi "Saizo, don't scare us like that and I thought I told you to stay by the pond!" said Yukimura waving his arms around. "My deepest apologies, but there are barricades up ahead and the army can not get though. Lord Shingen would like it if Kunoichi would set up a fire attack to burn down the barricades." Informed Saizo "Got it!" said Kunoichi
"Now get back to your post and watch Nobunaga. We'll be there shortly." ordered Yukimura "Yes my Lord." Said Saizo and he vanished into thin air.
