A/N: Okay, my first Samurai Warriors fic! It's a story about Oichi and her life, her story. Refers to real happenings and what happened in the game, the second game. Starts before she married Nagamasa though… my take on her story, OOCs could be because I chose what their characters should be like, mostly like the ones in the game though. Although I wanted her to not fight, I guess I have to do so or it won't be Samurai Warriors.
Disclaimer: I do not own Samurai Warriors and Oichi and the rest of the real figures.

Chapter One – My Brother
-
I sat there, in my room, alone, playing with my kendama toy. My brother, Oda Nobunaga, the 'Demon King' people claim him to be, is out on the battlefield, wanting to conquer the lands of Japan. I wonder why he sought to do so as he never told me why. After my marriage with Shibata Katsuie, I rarely go out of the castle. It is my brother's wish for me to not fight while I remain a wife of Katsuie, something I bet, will not last long. My faith in my brother is strong, yet, I do not trust him very much. I wonder why?
"Lady Oichi."
I removed myself from my train of thoughts and turned to see who interrupted me. It was one of the servants. I put down the toy I was holding and got up to face him. The servant bowed as I approached and talked after I nodded.
"Lord Nobunaga has won the battle!" he declared.
I only smiled and dismissed him. After he left the room, I walked to the nearest window and looked out of it. The lands were covered with a thick fog, or should I say smoke, coming from the fires done during the battles. It is good that I do not go out for this while. It would be terrible for my health. I only closed my eyes and sighed.
"Brother…I wish for this chaos to end as soon as possible…this…this is not Japan," I opened my eyes and saw that his army is approaching fast from faraway. From his direction, I saw a lot of smoke. The Oda flag hoisted proudly as they continued to march home. I turned to relieve myself of the image and went to fix myself for their arrival.
"Katsuie…I hope you are okay."
…
Lady Nou silently walked, approaching me as I came out of my room, sliding the door shut behind me. I turned to face her and smiled. She gave me a small smile too as she took out her right hand and handed me something. I readied my hands to receive whatever she was going to give me. Something plopped on my hand. I studied the thing that she gave me. It was a golden bell with the crest of the Oda engraved on it. I raised my eyes at her, "What for, Lady Nou?"
She laughed lightly. "The lord has won; this is something I wish for you to keep."
I raised my brow playfully. "Oh, and again, what for?"
"It's just a gift. It may be my last…so keep it safe," she turned around to leave and head for the hall where she'd always wait for brother's arrival. "And oh," she stopped and looked at me by the shoulder, "I hope you will always remember that you belong to the Oda with that, Lady Oichi."
As she went out of view, I dropped my gaze at the bell again. "The Oda…" I murmured and clutched it. I raised my head and walked hastily to follow her and meet my brother.
…
"I…am always of the Oda. I am Oichi, the sister of Nobunaga."

A/N: It's short…I forgot what some of the battles were so I made it short. I made up the bell thing but it'll add something into the story, I promise. I didn't know if I were to put Noh or No or Nou so I chose Nou. Now, if you support Oichi/Nagamasa pairing, please review. This story is too painful to write actually…I kinda wished their love wasn't disturbed by that damned Nobunaga…
