Chapter 5 – Tragic tale of Imaan

*1 Month later* time skip brought to you by a very sexy dragon

The distances between Mitsuhide and Imaan shortened more and more to the point it was almost non-existent. Strangely enough for Imaan, she started to enjoy her time with Mitsuhide. The long hours they would just talk. Walk hand in hand while viewing the sakura. The way Mitsuhide would make love to her. Everything was getting better. And Imaan liked that change. Maybe she started to fall for Mitsuhide. Imaan was running down the hallway and into the moss garden, only to… throw up everything she just ate. Feeling woozy and weak from throwing up, Imaan places a hand on her stomach as her eyes widen in shock.

'Am I… pregnant?!... No. No. No!... but… my periods… they haven't come this month…' tears streamed down Imaan's face but a soft yet happy smile graced her lips, but disappeared as soon as it came.

"What if… Mitsuhide doesn't want this child? What should I do then?" Imaan starts to speak to herself but immediately decides she should tell Mitsuhide her past. Just like how he did. How she came to this era. Imaan made a hasty retreat to their bedroom and opened the door to the veranda as Imaan waited for the return for her husband.

*The main hall*

Mitsuhide, Nobunaga, Nohime and Ranmaru as the four gather together in the main hall to come up with strategies to complete the unification.

"What if we get rid of Imagawa Yoshimoto first then move towards the Takeda's then the Uesugi's and then the Date clan?" Mitsuhide advices as he moves the Oda piece around the map and makes dot in the order he had just explained

"Hmmm… I understand where you're going with this….Fine. Mitsuhide prepare for the unification" Nobunaga smirks as Mitsuhide bows.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, milord"

"Very well" with that Mitsuhide leaves the main hall and makes his way to his room where his wife was waiting for him. Once Mitsuhide had left the main hall Nohime places a hand on her husband's shoulder as Nobunaga gestures for Ranmaru to leave the main hall.

"My dear…" Nohime starts to speak but was immediately cut off by Nobunaga.

"We need to get rid of the Yuki-Onna" Nobunaga declares as a dangerous glint shone in Nohime's eyes.

"May I be the one to get rid of her, my dear?"

"Do what you like" with that Nobunaga and Nohime left the main hall and their room. Ranmaru comes out of the shadows with his eyes wide.

"I need to warn Lady Imaan" with that Ranmaru slipped back into the darkness.

*Mitsuhide's and Imaan's room* Imaan's POV

I don't know long I sat here and waited for Mitsuhide to come from the war council and now it's night time. Feeling that I have had enough I walk out into the garden and slowly change into my Yuki-Onna form as a cold and frigid wind dances around me. I spread my arms wide and a moment later I see snowflakes fall onto my hands as I start to twirl. The snowflakes and the icy all dance around me. Just then, the bedroom door opens only to reveal my darling husband walk in, as he smiles at me with a gentle smile and a soft look in his eye. Yes … I have fallen in love with my husband, Mitsuhide.

"Beautiful…"Mitsuhide compliments me as I feel a rosy blush gracing my cheeks as I walk towards Mitsuhide. I take Mitsuhide's hand and got him to sit down with me. "Something the matter, my dear?" Mistuhide asks as I take a deep breath and nod.

"Everything is fine, but I decided that I should tell you how I ended up in this era as well as my past" I start to explain as Mitsuhide nods for me to continue. "I was born in London and lived a very simple yet happy life with my family. I studied hard to come to Japan to work and managed to bring my whole family there so that they can live me. Everything was going good until my background family came and destroyed the happiness and peace we lived in." Mitsuhide squeezed my hand to reassure me and I did the same and continued with my story. "My grandmother hired some goons to kill my mother and my siblings in a freak accident but that day my father was them and I was at work. My mother and father and sisters and brother all died that day. When I found out, I ran to the hospital to see them but all them, lifeless." Tears streamed down my face as I remember that day I went there to confirm the worst. The day I had to bury my family 6 feet deep in the ground. How I went to graveyard to visit them every day and cry heart and soul out.

"Hospital?" Mitsuhide cocks his head to the side as I giggle softly through the tears. Of course he wouldn't know.

"A place where the sick and injured go to get treated by doctors" I explained as Mitsuhide nods to show he understands.

"Then my grandmother planned to kill me too and sent the same goons but save myself I ran into a really old bookshop and while I was hiding I found a book with a bellflower embossed on the cover and found a book mark and the next thing, I found myself in this era and I found… you…" I turned to face Mitsuhide as Mitsuhide does the same.

"And… how do you feel about me…" Mitsuhide asks as his face inches as our lips were only an inch away. My gaze falls on his full and plump lips then back to his eyes.

"I… I… love… you…" I finally answer as Mitsuhide presses his lips to mine engaging us into a passionate kiss as we slowly pull away as Mitsuhide gazes into my eyes.

"I feel the same way, my love. I love you, too." With that Mitsuhide makes love to me the whole. But I never got to tell him about my pregnancy.
