Okay another chapter up. This one is longer…hehehe. Please fav and review.

Again I do not own Sengoku Basara or any of their characters. Leo and all other no familiar characters are MINE though


Kojūrō was walking down the long hallway. It was a bit after dawn and time for him to wake his young lord. Carefully he knocked on the wooden frame and waited. There was no answer. He knocked again. "Lord Masamune are you there?" He paused for a moment before he slid open the door. The room was empty. Kojūrō did not panic at first, knowing that his Lord sometimes trained early in the morning. That theory was discarded as he noticed that all six of Masamune's swords were still laying carefully on the nearby stand. Another thing that was off was the fact that Masamune's armor was still carefully folded beside the Lord's unmade bedroll. He looked up and his face paled at what he saw. The paper door that linked Masamune's room to the outside had a large gash, like someone had ripped in open.

Acting quickly Kojūrō went to the gate. "Has anyone seen Lord Masamune?" He asked as he looked at the guards. Startled the all shook their heads, indicating that they had not. "Search the village…I cannot find him at the castle." He said sharply as he looked at them. The guards nodded and quickly started their search; looking for their missing Lord.

After an hour they all came back to the main gate with horrified faces. Kojūrō seen the looks of the guards and shook his head. Seeing as he was not in the castle or anywhere in the village the Right Eye of the Dragon could only surmise one thing; Masamune had been taken.

Masamune spit out blood as three men slammed the door to his cell shut. As promised, Masamune was in his own version of hell. He had been beaten at least five times within his short time here. He coughed drying, having not been given water since he arrived aboard the ship. Yes, a ship. He had been able to conclude that after he had been alone for a few hours to gather his thoughts. The rocking motion was a clear indication as well as the occasional yell from above about the sails.

The door opened again and, as Masamune had expected, the man from before came in. 'He must be the captain of the ship.' Masamune thought absently as he watched the man walk to the cell. After leaning down to the young Lord's level, the man gave him a sick smile.

"Ready to behave yet?" He asked, a smirk played on his lips.

"Ready to come out of the closet yet?" Masamune countered as he managed a small smirk. The man looked furious and opened the door to the cell.

"What did you say you little one eyed bastard?" He growled out grabbing Masamune's shirt and hauled him off of the floor.

"I asked if you were ready to tell the world about feminine tendencies. Are you deaf or are you just stupid?" Masamune stated a moment before he grunt at the man fist landing squarely in his gut.

"You're going to pay for your arrogance. I'll show you why you should never mess with me." He bellowed and he let go of Masamune's collar. Before Masamune hit the ground his captor's knee smashed him in the face, causing blood to spray from his mouth and nose.

Masamune hit the ground with a solid thug and then felt a cry come from his lungs as the man kicked him in the back, gut, and legs. As he managed to look up he saw a boot rise to stomp him in the face. Masamune closed his eye, waiting for the impact, but it never came. Before man could finish his work, a voice sounded from the door.

"Boss! We finally got that other guy…but were having trouble getting him below." A crew member called through the bars of Masamune's cage. The man turned and nodded.

"Alright…Now One Eyed Dragon…remember what I'm capable of otherwise your punishment will be worse than this was." He spat at Masamune before he walked out of the cell, locking the door behind him. As soon as he left Masamune managed to sit up and spit out the blood in his mouth. He knew that at this rate he wouldn't last a week. He didn't know how many bones were broken, or if there were any at all. He managed to wipe the guys spit from his face onto his shoulder; which was painful because it was bruised.

After a few minutes the door reopened and the captain walked back in the room. Behind him there were two of the crewmen carrying a bloody, but very much struggling, young man. Masamune looked a bit shocked as he watched other prisoner kick the captain in the back, sending the larger man into the bars of the other cage. The captain turned around and punched the man in the gut, before he grabbed him and threw him into the cage. "It seems we have another one that wants this trip rough…so be it." The captain said as he stalked out. As the crew left Masamune took the time to look at his new companion. Well as close to a companion as he was going to get.

The first thing that stuck Masamune was his rather odd colored hair. Being from the Land of the Rising Sun, Masamune was used to seeing people with dark colored hair, but this man was different. Though it was stained with blood, this guy's hair was a very light color, gold like the sun. As the man looked over at Masamune a small smirk played on the guy's lips.

"Well, it's nice to see that I'm not alone…you a prisoner too?" He asked, though the answer was obvious. Masamune nodded. "My name is Leo…what's yours?" he continued as he leaned against the wall.

"Masamune." The young Daimyo said as he groaned a bit. Okay, maybe it hadn't been such a good idea to joke to the captain about his sexual preferences, Masamune thought to himself.

"They got yah good didn't they?" Leo asked as he moved a bit closer. Masamune nodded. "Why did they beat yah so bad?" To Leo's second question Masamune had to smirk.

"I may or may not have asked the captain to admit that his male sexual preferences." Leo laughed quietly at the comment, shaking his head at the young Lord.

"Yeah, I could see him doing that to you after that." Leo admitted as he chuckled.

"So, do you know where we are right now…you probably have a better clue than I do." Masamune asked as he looked at Leo. He knew that the ship could have traveled a few miles or a few hundred and he wanted to know how far was his home.

Leo shrugged. "They caught me when I was taken shelter in a nearby cave…not more than a days ride from my village. I would say about a three days trip from the Land of Dragons." Masamune looked at Leo with utter confusion. Land of Dragons? He had never even heard of that before.

"Where is the Land of Dragons compare to say…the Land of the Rising Sun?" Leo's eyes bulged out for a moment.

"Is that where your from?" Masamune nodded in confirmation. "The Land of the Rising Sun…well that's across the Great sea." The information shocked Masamune to his core. Across the Sea? How was he going to get back if he was nowhere near his own home? 'If I make it off of this…then how am I going to be able to get back?'
