Chapter Three: Yukimura's Dilemma and The Kokumi Clan

Yuya handed Miyuki some more bandages and as well as some cream. Miyuki took it and applied on to her arm first and then started to bandage it.

"So you're feeling better?"

"Yeah, how are Kyo and your wounds?"

Yuya looked at her hand, and just shrugged.

"I suppose I'm all right. But Kyo's back to his mighty self again."

Miyuki knew that even though Yuya just said that in a sarcastic tone, she cared about him.

"So why don't you go check up on him?"

"Are you kidding me? He treats me like a slave or servant or something like that."

Miyuki laughed and then smiled.

"And yet, he always saves you."

Yuya looked up and then sighs.

"You have a point. Fine, I'll go check up on him."

She stood up and walked toward the door.

"You'll be fine right?"

"I can manage. Just go talk to him."

"Okay, bye!"

Yuya left and Miyuki looked at her arm. She knew that the gash ran up her arm and she was going to need to bandage there as well. She took off the left side of the kimono and then started to apply the medicine up her arm.

Yukimura was walking down the hall and arrived at Miyuki's room. He opened the door quietly and was about to say something when he saw Miyuki's back to him.

She was done applying the medicine and was placing bandages on. Yukimura saw her back and her skin and he felt his legs get wobbly. He closed the door and sat down against the door. His heart was pounding and he didn't know what to do.

Miyuki inside the room was aware that Yukimura had opened the door, but didn't say anything. She blushed at the thought that he would walk in at any moment.

Man, he really needs to learn to knock!


That night Yukimura was in his room drinking sake like his usual self. But this time, he was wrapped up in his thoughts about Miyuki. He took numerous gulps and then sighed. He still wasn't faint or drunk at all.

Miyuki was walking down the hallway and arrived at Yukimura's room. She wanted to thank him for saving her yesterday, but wasn't quite sure of how to say it. She knocked and waited. She could hear his footsteps as he approached the door.

When he slid open the door he was delighted to see Miyuki standing there.

"Miyuki, what are you doing here so late?"

Miyuki gave him a small smile and looked at him.

"I wanted to talk to you."

Yukimura's face lit up with happiness and humbly allowed her to enter. Once inside, Miyuki spots the sake bottle and turns to him. To her surprise, he was taking off his shirt.

Miyuki blushed and then turned away. Yukimura tossed his shirt to the side and walked over to Miyuki.

"You know you really shouldn't be drinking so much sake. I know you don't get drunk and all, but you still sho-"

Yukimura cut her off by grabbing her hand suddenly and pulling her close. She was surprised but then Yukimura brought her even closer. She touched his bare chest and blushes. Yukimura lifts her chin up and leans in.

Miyuki could feel his hot breath and the faint smell of sake. But she didn't do anything. Yukimura pause as he closes in on her lips. He breathes on her lips and then lightly licks them as well.

What's going on? Why is he doing this?

Miyuki began to panic slightly, but she still couldn't do anything. Hey body was in shock and couldn't move.

Yukimura kissed Miyuki and held her tight. He pressed his lips against her and periodically would lift up but then would kiss again. Yukimura ran his hands down her waist and back up. He continued to kiss her and eventually pinned her against the wall.

Miyuki still wasn't able to move. Yukimura ran his hand through her hair and continued to kiss her. He was finally living in the moment, and he loved it. He kissed her passionately and took in deep breaths. He pressed his body up against hers and touched her cheek.

He stopped kissing her and paused and breathed on to her lips. Miyuki was breathing hard too, but she didn't know why. He licked her lips again and then when there was chance, he slipped his tongue in.

Miyuki couldn't stop this, she knew Yukimura overpowered her and she couldn't do anything. But what was worse was that she was enjoying this. She liked how Yukimura was kissing her, how he was touching her, breathing on her…but she knew she had to stop him before it got any further.

Yukimura continued to kiss Miyuki and ran his hand up and down her body. He moved his hand to her waist and stopped kissing her. But he moved down to her neck and breathed on it. He licked it once and took in deep breaths. And then he licked it again.

Yukimura thought that this was the best way to express his love and frankly, he loved it. It made him closer to Miyuki than anything ever has. He truly loved her and at the moment, realized that he must have her. He had to have her, no matter what. And this was his chance to do it.

He kissed her again and then licked her neck again. He stopped for a moment and felt her breathing hard. He lifted up a hand and lightly touched her kimono. He pulled it down a little bit and revealed the shoulder and then kissed her again.

Miyuki still couldn't do anything. She couldn't stop him at this point. He licked her neck again, but before he could do anything else, someone knocked on the outside of the room. Yukimura stood up and turned to the door.

"What is it Saizo?"

Miyuki took in deep breaths and tried to move away. But Yukimura held on to her. He pressed her against the wall and leaned up against her. He gently placed a hand on her face and lifted a finger up to his lips, telling her to be quiet.

She didn't deny the fact that she liked Yukimura's chest. It was muscular and smooth, but she still needed to get away.

"My lord, it seems that Ieyasu had left Edo and headed toward the Sea of Trees."

"I see…we're leave first thing tomorrow. Tell Kyo and Yuya."

"Hai."

Saizo's shadow jumped and disappeared. Yukimura released Miyuki and looked at her. Miyuki avoided eye contact and turned to the door. She started to walk toward the door but Yukimura grabs her arm. She looked at him and knew that he was about to say something, but it didn't look like he was going to be able to.

Miyuki took her arm back and left the room. Yukimura was left standing there in the dark. He fell down to his bed and looked up at the ceiling. He smiled and felt good, at the same time felt as though he should probably tell Miyuki why he just reacted on impulse.

I think…I'm really in love…


Next morning, Yukimura decided to apologize for the night before. As he approached Miyuki's room, the hallway and almost the entire inn appeared to be inactive. When he reached Miyuki's room, he just slid the door open like all the other times and saw that she was still in bed.

He entered the room quietly and then sat down next to Miyuki. She appeared to be sound asleep. He leaned down to admire her closer.

"I wonder if she even knows…that I care this much for her…"

Yukimura started to stroke her hair, and then carefully touch her cheek. Suddenly, Yuya opened the door and Yukimura turned around. Yuya felt embarrassed and then gave him a wave. He stood up and smiled at her and then left the room.

Once he left, Miyuki sat up and glanced at the door. Yuya was surprised and then sat down next to her.

"Miyuki, you were awake?"

"Yeah…"

"Why was Yukimura in here?"

"I guess…he wanted to tell me something…"


Kyo, Yuya, Yukimura and Miyuki all departed the inn and headed on the path to the Sea of Trees. Along the way, Yuya and Miyuki decided to converse about their boy trouble while Yukimura and Kyo walked up ahead in silence.

"What do you think I should say to Kyo?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"You know, should I say something about us?"

"I don't know, do whatever you want…"

"Come on Miyuki! I'm in a crisis right now!"

"Just tell him whatever you want."

"Are you telling me I should just go up to him and tell him that I love him?"

"…Well, no. Not that exactly…"

"Then what?"

"Ehh…I don't know, give it some time."

Yuya sighed and then crossed her arms. Then she turned to Miyuki and asked about Yukimura.

"Is there something going on between you two?"

"Not that I would consider."

"Really?"

From then on, Yuya tried to get more information for Miyuki, but she refused. The decided to take a break in a nearby meadow in the afternoon. Yuya sat near Kyo and attempted to take Miyuki's advice, but didn't want to at the same time.

Yukimura and Miyuki sat back to back together on a rock, but didn't say anything. The four sat in silence and didn't dare say anything. Until Miyuki stood up and then started to walk off. Yuya also stood up and asked where she was going.

"Just for a drink of water. Don't worry."

Miyuki left and the rest of them were all still quiet, and even more awkward for Yukimura since Miyuki left.


In the forest, Miyuki reached a river and decided to take some back to refresh the others. In the trees nearby she heard some rustling, even though there wasn't any wind.

Miyuki sighed and bottled up the water.

"There's no used hiding, I know you guys are here."

Three figures emerged from the trees and landed next to Miyuki. She stood back up and then all bowed down to her.

"Lady Miyuki."

"What is it? Have you guys found anything related to Mibu clan?"

The three people remained on their knees and lowered their heads. Miyuki sighed and then took a seat on a rock.

"We apologize. But the Mibu clan seems to be quite discrete and cover their tracks very well. All we have collected so far is that they seem be gathering or rather creating something in the Sea of Trees."

"Well that's good! I'm headed that way anyway."

The three stood quiet and looked up.

"My lady, are you sure you'll be fine there?"

"Are you doubting me?"

"No. I would never dare."

"Don't worry, I have other's to help me with this task."

"Very well. We still follow though."

Miyuki stood back up and smiled.

"Do as you wish. You guys can take a break if you wish."

She started to walk back to the meadow, when the woman out of the three stood up and asked her a question.

"What about Sanada Yukimura? Is he your choice?"

Miyuki smiled again. Then turned back to the three of them.

"Do you really want me to get married so quickly?"

The three figures awkwardly looked down and didn't reply.

"I'm just kidding, I don't know if I should choose him yet. But I definitely feel something for him…"

Miyuki started to walk back and the three figures retreated back to the trees once again.

As she walked back, she thought was the night before.

I definitely feel something for him…but I'll just have to wait and see how far this can grow…
