A/N: Okay, I see no one is a fan of those too…how sad. Whatever! I shall do whatever I think is necessary and I will keep updating…maybe. If not for my love of this couple, I wouldn't even do this. Enjoy the shortness which is intended.
Disclaimer: I do not own Samurai Warriors and Oichi and the rest of the real figures.

Chapter Two – My Fate
-
I was stunned to hear the news that my brother brought to my ears. Katsuie fell on his knees and continued to shake his head, although I knew how badly he didn't want to defy my brother. I only looked down at my hands as my brother called out to me.
"Oichi, you are to marry the young Lord of Bizen, Azai Nagamasa. It is for the sake of the Oda…understood?" his voice drowned as my eyes began to sting from the tears I held back. I will lose a love and a life.
"Lady Oichi…" Lady Nou voiced. "You are of the Oda and what you are to do is for the good of the Oda."
"With you marrying the Azai, we will be sure to make the terms between them as strong as my powers…" my brother said to convince me. I wasn't convinced at all.
"For that, Lady Oichi…" Hideyoshi interrupted, "You have to divorce Katsuie…" he said in a near whisper as I fell on my knees and cried.
"But…but I…" my words came out with sobs. "I…I…what about…what about what I have now?!" I cried out. My brother gave a deep annoyed sigh. "…brother…I love Katsuie."
"And you will love another, and that other is that Azai…" he stated. I looked up at him with my tears and he just deepened his glare at me. "It is for the Oda."
I looked down at the wetted floor. I looked at myself in the small puddle of my tears. I have cried a lot over something that I could not change. I took my sleeve and wiped it and wiped my tears and faced my brother again. "…I…" I started and looked at Katsuie. He just nodded.
"For the Oda…" he said, trembling.
I looked at my brother again and got up to my feet. I brushed off the dirt that was on my clothes and pulled a straight face and nodded to everyone present. "I…" I took a deep breath.
"I shall do it."
My brother formed a smirk on his face and Lady Nou smiled at me, although quite sadly. Hideyoshi was too…and Katsuie…he forced a smile and gave me an understanding nod. Could it be that his love for the Oda clan was much too stronger than his love for me?
"We will carry out the marriage as soon as possible!" brother declared to everyone. Everyone hurrahed at my fate. I could only hold back whatever I was hiding in me. No one should know of my thought. I will keep it as long as I live.
…
"I am Oichi who hates Oda Nobunaga, my brother."
