Disclaimer: I do not own Samurai warriors or any of the characters. If I did, Mitsunari wouldn't die.

I warn you all... Dirty mind at work. I am so not history accurate. Don't care really. My fic is simply to satisfy my mind...and possibly yours, if you enjoy it.

Chapter 6- Did he just say, what I think he said!?

True to his word, Mitsunari tried to seize control in order to carry out his late masters' dreams. He was obviously opposed from the start by Ieyasu Tokugawa. Kiyomasa Kato and Masanori Fukushima sided with Lord Ieyasu, or as Kanetsugu liked to call him, Villainous swine that shall perish for his dishonor. (1)
Mitsunari managed to hold his ground and gather few supporters. Among them, obviously was Kanetsugu. Yukimura, Kejji and Sakon were also close allies.

Both sides were waiting. Waiting for someone to make a move... to mess up...

The Ishida forces were few, but gaining power and troops. It seemed to be down time. The calm before the storm. It did pain Kanetsugu to see his new lover under so much stress so he'd make sure to 'help' with that during the night.

Mitsunari would show up late but Kanetsugu always waited for him. They didn't always have sex. Sometimes they just held on to each other. Touching softly and sharing sweet kisses. Whether it was making love or just cuddling, Kanetsugu could put a smile back on Mitsunari's face. During the day, Mitsunari was busy and catered to everyone else but at night, he was Kanetsugu's.

Kanetsugu always toped, despite the fact he was naturally a gentle lover. At first, he'd usually handle Mitsunari like he would break. He believed that love was a gentle feeling, so love making should be as well. It took Mitsunari's whines and reassurance that he wouldn't break into a thousand pieces, before Kanetsugu would turn aggressive. He could be when he wanted to, though Mitsunari doubted that anyone other than himself had seen that side of Kanetsugu. The student of the late Lord Kenshin was all about love and honor. He was sure no one knew what a beast Kanetsugu could be in bed. He could be gentle or harsh, strong and charming, protective and loving... He'd alter himself just to see a smile on Mitsunari's beautiful face.

It was getting harder to hide there relationship. Not because anyone approached them about it. Oh no. It was because they were finding it hard to keep there hands off of each other. They tended to stand too close and stare at each other too long. They always sat next to one another so they could secretly hold hands under the table.
If the situation caused for both of them to have their hands on top of the table, their legs would brush under the table. With each touch, however, made them both grow hot. If something was forbidden, it made you want to do it more.

That's when the sneak attacks began.

One day, Kanetsugu was minding his own business when suddenly he was grabbed and pulled into a dark corner by Mitsunari. They'd kiss and touch each other quickly before they broke apart. It was enough to last them at least a little while. The sneak attacks where a quick excuse to make out before they went on with the rest of the day, as if it had never happened. There was always the risk of getting caught and the thrill of doing something taboo.
For a little while, It was enough, until they met each other at night. But sweet kisses could only go so far for a pair of, very much in love, horny men.

Kanetsugu didn't mind the switch up from sneak attacks to full on grope sessions. Doing it in a new place was a major turn-on. However getting caught was not.

One time, Kanetsugu had allowed Mitsunari to give him a blow job in a dark supply closet. The old man who was half blind, cleaned the floors and swept outside had open the supply closet door and nearly grabbed Mitsunari's hair while searching for his broom. Lucky for the pair, he'd found it without seeing them and left to go about his chores. Mitsunari was willing to continue, but the shock of having the old man walk in, had utterly destroyed Kanetsugu's erection. Mitsunari was a little brat for the rest of the day and sulked at night, until Kanetsugu managed to put that smile back on his face.

Yukimura was becoming distant. He didn't question where Kanetsugu was every night. He figured it wasn't any of his business. He spent most of his time with Kejji now and hardly any time with Mitsunari and Kanetsugu. He still spoke to them, of course. When he saw Mitsunari, he'd smile and give an obvious longing look. It seemed his feelings for Mitsunari were still going strong. However when he saw Kanetsugu, he got slightly miffed. He'd talk to him, friendly enough, but Kanetsugu could hear the jealousy in Yukimura's voice. He didn't believe that Yukimura knew a thing about them yet. The boy was probably just upset because Kanetsugu seemed to be spending all his free time with Mitsunari. Kanetsugu hoped that when Yukimura found out, he wouldn't take it too hard. He panned to tell him and due time and prayed that he didn't find out some other way.

Sakon Shima worried him, however. He had warned both Kanetsugu and Yukimura not to set claim on Mitsunari's heart. Not only had he set claim to Mitsunari's heart but his soul as well. Kanetsugu tended to eye that gigantic sword that Sakon handled and wondered how easily it could hack him to pieces. It was no secret to him that Sakon could over power him physically, but he was willing to fight and die for Mitsunari. If it be on the battlefield or in love, he'd always fight for him.

He knew Sakon was smart, brilliant even. Had he found out yet and what would he do about it if he had? He seemed unusually smug when he caught Kanetsugu's eyes and it was making him paranoid. If Sakon was a dumb as a stump about the situation, then Kanetsugu was being paranoid for no good reason. Kanetsugu didn't tell Mitsunari of his worries. He knew his lover had enough to worry about.

Late one afternoon, Kanetsugu was going about his duties, when he was suddenly grabbed by the forearm and dragged into a dark corner. He vaguely thought at first that it was one of Mitsunari's sneak attacks. Then he got a good look at who was dragging him and his breath caught in his throat.

Sakon grinned at the stunned man. Instead of letting go of Kanetsugu's forearm, his grip tightened.

"I warned you Naoe." Sakon said with a smug smile. "I told you not to lay claim on Mitsunari."

"Who said I did?" Kanetsugu shot back and managed to rip his arm away from Sakon's grip.

"Come on...I'm not stupid, Naoe." Sakon hissed angrily. "I see the way he looks at you and how you look at him. He loves you."

"And I love him." Kanetsugu finished.

"You'll mess up eventually Naoe. I'll be there to scoop up Mitsunari when you do."

"We'll see." Kanetsugu held eye contact steady. "Mitsunari trusts me. I'd never hurt him."

Sakon laughed. "After this silly little war is over, I'm going to direct all my efforts to getting Mitsunari from you. So enjoy him while you have him, Naoe, because I'll take him." Sakon turned his back but didn't leave immediately. "You're a handsome man Kanetsugu."

Kanetsugu blinked. Was he just complemented by his rival? "Uh...Thank you?"

Sakon looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Perhaps When I take Mitsunari, I'll take you as well."
Then he left a very bewildered Kanetsugu behind him.

Kanetsugu stood dumbly with his mouth slightly open, staring at Sakon's retreating figure. He found his voice and said out loud to himself, "Did he just say, what I think he said?!"

Hehe. Plot twist. Kind of.
