The Samurai Drabble Series
Number 8: Is That So? starring Nobunaga Oda
Nobunaga was staring out across the fields of Owari, his home province in a daze. He barely registered the messenger approaching his solitary position underneath some cherry-blossom trees.
The messenger bowed as he got close enough to deliver his message.
"Lord, the generals request your presence at the council" announced the messenger.
"Is that so…?" asked Nobunaga calmly.
"Yes sir" answered the messenger slowly.
"Shut up fool!" snapped Nobunaga irritably "That was rhetorical!"
Later that day…
Nobunaga was sitting waiting for the evening feast to be laid out, again staring into his own little world. As the feast was served, chatter broke out on all sides.
Ieyasu picked up a bowl of rice and offered it to his lord.
"Rice my lord?"
"Is that so…?" answered Nobunaga, not paying attention.
Ieyasu blinked bemusedly, and shrugged off his lord's odd response.
"Hey, boss man!" Keiji shouted "What you doing tomorrow?"
"Is that so…?" Nobunaga replied.
Keiji too just shrugged off his lord's response, thinking Nobunaga really was as crazy as people said he was.
Later that evening…
Nobunaga was preparing himself for bed and had just climbed under the rich sheets when his wife, Mitsuhide and Ranmaru entered his room, all clad in the barest minimum of clothing.
No spoke first "We are here to please you, my lord"
Mitsuhide continued "Use us as you see fit"
Ranmaru opened his mouth to speak, but promptly forgot his line.
"Is that so…?" said Nobunaga, smirking evilly, lust burning in his eyes.
"Is that so, indeed" He said gesturing his wife and retainers to join him in bed.
Next Time: Why Keiji Loves Horses starring Keiji Maeda (Obviously).
Nobunaga that perv! Nah we all love him anyway, even with his evil and yaoi tendencies. (Note: Yaoi isn't evil, Nobunaga is, and he can be a bit yaoi too so.. don't say i'm against slash or anything :)) R&R like usual!
