The next day, the wedding preparations were being made while Lady Kaihime and Lady Kunoichi were fixing my hair for the wedding.
I was wearing white cheongsam dress that was short on the front but longer on the back. The front part went up to my mid thighs while the back went up to my mid shins. My shoes were a pair of white sparkly flats. The hairstyle they gave me was a nice bun with braids on it decorated with light pink flowers.
I can't believe that I'm gonna get married. More importantly, it's with Lord Yukimura! And I don't even know him well enough. Oh, what to do? How do Lady Kaihime and Lady Kunoichi feel about this? Surely Lady Kunoichi must have had a crush on Lord Yukimura. She must be so sad deep inside. I feel so bad for her. Tears came down my face as I looked down.
"Okay, I'm done with your hair. You look very lovely, Kabanuna." Lady Kaihime said. I could hear the sadness in her voice, which made me feel worse. Lady Kunoichi turned to me and saw my tears.
"Kabanuna, what's the matter? You should be happy because it's your wedding today." Lady Kunoichi said, surprised. I wiped my tears away and turned to her.
"Lady Kunoichi, I'm so sorry about this. I know how you feel about Lord Yukimura… And now I'm about to be married with him. Oh, I'm such a terrible friend!" I said, covering my face. Lady Kaihime and Lady Kunoichi sat down next to me on the bed.
"Don't cry, Kabanuna. You're supposed to be happy on wedding days." Lady Kaihime said, patting my back gently.
"It's not your fault, Kabanuna. I know that you didn't know about the marriage. I also know that you don't want to marry Lord Yukimura either. But I can tell you that he will treat you well and he will love you and protect you with his life." Lady Kunoichi said. It still doesn't feel right. Am I really destined to be with him or is it a forced destiny that shouldn't happen? I really should try asking Lord Yukimura to reconsider marrying me. It's not too late.
"I'm sorry but I have to go somewhere right now." I told them and got up from the bed. I went out of the room before they could ask me anything. I went out of the tent and there were quite a few people at the camp. They turned to me and smiled.
"It's Lord Yukimura's wife! I didn't know she would turn out to be such a beautiful young woman," A man said. He came to me, along with a scary looking man and a girl. "Hello. I am Ujiyasu Hojo. This is my daughter, Hayakawa and Kotaro Fuma."
"Congrats to your marriage." Lady Hayakawa said to me, smiling. I smiled back.
"I'm Kabanuna. Uh… Um… Do you know where I can find Lord Yukimura? It's an emergency," I asked. They both shook their heads. Where could Lord Yukimura be? "Thanks anyways. I must find Lord Yukimura now." They smiled and I quickly went off in search of Lord Yukimura again.
As I was running, a man stopped me. I turned to him and he smiled out to me. Who is this man? I wonder if he knows where Lord Yukimura is.
"Sorry for my impoliteness. I am Nobuyuki Sanada, Yukimura's older brother. I wanted to meet the lucky lady who would be marrying my little brother." Lord Nobuyuki said to me. My eyes widened and I gasped. This man is Lord Yukimura's older brother? Then that means he should know where Lord Yukimura is, right?
"Nice to meet you, Lord Nobuyuki. I'm Kabanuna. Um… You know where Lord Yukimura is, do you?" I asked and he looked down, thinking to himself.
"Uh, I haven't seen him at all today. Sorry about that." Lord Nobuyuki said to me. I looked down in disappointment. Aww, I guess he doesn't know either.
"Well there you are. I was looking for you," a woman said from behind. I turned and there was a woman and a man. They smiled out to me. "Hello, dear. I am Aya, Kenshin's sister and this is my son Kagekatsu."
"Nice to meet you two. My name is Kabanuna. Do you know where Lord Yukimura is?" I asked them and they shook their heads. Is there no one who knows of Lord Yukimura's presence? I smiled. "It was nice meeting you 3 but I must find Lord Yukimura now."
"See you at the wedding." Lord Nobuyuki said and I went off to find Lord Yukimura again. While I was running to find Lord Yukimura, I saw a woman with an umbrella.
"What's the rush, miss? It's your wedding day. Do you want to see Yukimura already?" she said, smiling. I nodded my head. Maybe she knows where he is. Please know where he is. I've been looking everywhere for him. She giggled to herself. "Come on, I know where Yukimura is. I'll take you to him." I sighed. Yes, she knows where he is! I am so glad.
"Thank you so much! I'm Kabanuna. Um, what is your name?" I said happily.
"I am Okuni. You must be dying to see how your soon to be husband looks like." Lady Okuni said. I smiled and she took me to where Lord Yukimura was. When I saw him, he was really handsome. He turned to me and smiled. "Yukimura, your bride has been looking all over for you. Must you make her wait this long to begin the wedding ceremony?"
"Kabanuna, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were looking for me. We will begin the wedding ceremony now. Oh, before that though, this is Yoshitsugu Otani, one of Mitsunari's friends." Lord Yukimura said, smiling. I turned and it was a man wearing white. He smiled at me.
"Wow, Kabanuna, you look very stunning." Lord Kiyomasa said. I smiled and turned to Lord Yukimura.
"Yukimura, you beginning the wedding now?" Lord Keiji asked and Lord Yukimura nodded his head and smiled.
"Yes, begin the ceremony." Lord Yukimura said.
"N… No, wait!" I said, but they paid no attention to me. Everyone began going off and Lord Yukimura took my hand and began walking. "Lord Yukimura… Please, I have something to tell you." Lord Yukimura smiled and turned to me.
"You can tell me after the wedding, okay?" Lord Yukimura said to me. He pulled me and no matter what I said, he continued forth…
Lord Yukimura knew that Kabanuna was trying to persuade him to not do the wedding or something like that. He wanted to marry her so he kept making the excuse that she could tell him later because he wanted to do the marriage first. I'm sorry, Kabanuna. I really wish to marry you so I have to make this excuse.
"B… But Lord Yukimura, I…" Kabanuna started again but they reached the area where the wedding ceremony should be at. He let go of her hand as everyone turned to them. Lord Yukimura smiled out handsomely as everyone gathered around.
"Thank you all for being here today. It's a special day for me. Today is the day that I, Yukimura Sanada, am getting married to the one and only Kabanuna. Let's start the wedding now, shall we?" Lord Yukimura said, being happy.
That lucky Yukimura. I really wanted Kabanuna too. Lord Kiyomasa thought to himself as he watched Lord Yukimura and Kabanuna at the middle.
Everything will be okay. I'll be okay. Kabanuna is meant to be with Yukimura, not me. Soon, I won't feel this pain in my chest. Lord Keiji told himself, forcing a smile on his face.
I love weddings! What a beautiful day for Yukimura and Kabanuna to be together. Lord Masanori thought.
I guess they are marrying after all. Lord Mitsunari thought.
Kabanuna is so beautiful today. Poor Kunoichi though. She must be sad but there really is nothing she could do. Hopefully everything turns out okay. Lord Sakon thought to himself.
I can't cry right now. Lord Yukimura looks so happy. I have to stay strong and support his decisions, even though we won't be together. Lady Kunoichi said, trying hard not to cry.
Poor Kunoichi. She has to be here. I just wish there was something I could do to make her feel better. Lady Kaihime thought to herself as she watched Lord Yukimura and Kabanuna together. Does Kabanuna even want to marry Lord Yukimura? Will she accept it or deny it in front of everyone?
Lord Kanetsugu went to the middle. He was gonna be doing the marriage for Lord Yukimura and Kabanuna. Yukimura is very happy today. I too, feel happy for him. He deserves a good rest from the war.
"Yukimura, do you promise to love, protect, and care for Kabanuna for the rest of your life, no matter what obstacles may come across your path?" Kanetsugu asked Lord Yukimura. Lord Yukimura turned to Kabanuna and she was looking down. This is the only way I would get to be with her. I really hope this is successful and she accepts.
"I do." Lord Yukimura said, smiling. He can hear Kabanuna's heart racing fast.
"Kabanuna, do you promise to love, protect, and care for Yukimura for the rest of your life, no matter what obstacles may come across your path?" Kanetsugu asked Kabanuna. She was quiet for 5 seconds. Everyone began looking at each other…
Oh no, what should I do? I didn't get to tell him to reconsider marrying me. He should be with Lady Kunoichi, not me.
"Um… I… I… I…," I began, as we heard a loud bang, which sent everyone flinching. We all turned and I gasped. There were my Chinese friends. Lord Lu Bu was in the very front and I assume he was the one who broke down the gate. My eyes widened and a rush of happiness swarmed over me. "Guys!" I tried to run to them but Lord Yukimura pulled me back…
What the hell is this? Those stupid Japanese peons think they are gonna get to keep Kabanuna in Japan? No fucking way!
"You rotten maggot vermins! You dare force Kabanuna to marry one of you?" Lord Lu Bu thundered at everyone.
These stupid bitches! How dare they break through the gates and then yell at us? Kabanuna was about to give her answer too! There's a chance she might have said yes. They just had to come and ruin it for me.
"How dare you interrupt my marriage ceremony?" Lord Yukimura said, madly.
"Kabanuna belongs to us! You better hand her over to us right now or there will be trouble!" Lord Gan Ning yelled. The Japanese people were confused.
I was afraid something like this would happen. Now if we don't give her to them, there will be war between us. Of course, since they were fighting for Kabanuna, they would come after Keiji for taking her away from them. It's not like they're gonna let Keiji get away with it. Lord Mitsunari thought to himself.
"There's the stupid fag that stole her away from us while we were competing for Kabanuna at Chang Ban!" yelled Lord Zhang Bao. That stupid guy may be buff, but that doesn't mean I'll be afraid to fight him.
"We are not giving her to you! Can't you see Kabanuna is about to be Yukimura's wife?" Lord Masanori yelled back at the Chinese forces. The Chinese people got very angry.
About to be Yukimura's wife, my ass. They probably forced her to do the wedding. Lord Gan Ning thought to himself.
"This is your final warning. Give Kabanuna back and you can live to see another daylight. If not, suffer the consequences." Warned Lord Cao Cao.
"I won the competition for Kabanuna already so why don't you just go back to China and try unifying the land?" Lord Keiji said. Lord Sun Jian scoffed and half smiled.
"Very well. You leave us no choice." Lord Sun Jian said.
"Attack!" shouted Lord Liu Bei, Lord Cao Cao, and Lord Sun Jian, raising their swords in the air.
"Yah!" the Chinese forces yelled, raising their weapons in the air. They dashed towards the Japanese people and they began fighting.
Lord Yukimura grabbed Kabanuna's arm and took her into Lady Kaihime and Lady Kunoichi's tent.
"Stay in here. I'll come get you afterwards." Lord Yukimura said, running out of the tent and into his own tent. He grabbed his Crimson spear and charged at the Chinese forces to repel them back.
"You! Don't think that Kabanuna is in love with you. She is too good for you!" Lord Gan Ning yelled at Lord Yukimura. Lord Yukimura turned and Lord Gan Ning swings his chain and sickle at him. He blocked the attack and striked back at Lord Gan Ning as he dodged the attack as well.
"Don't think Kabanuna is in love with me? More like don't think Kabanuna is in love with you! I'm better looking than you and she's too pretty for you!" Lord Yukimura said and it got Lord Gan Ning very mad.
"High jump kick!" Lord Ling Tong shouted, kicking Lord Yukimura on the side and he fell down. Lord Ling Tong turned to Lord Gan Ning. "You look like you could use some help, buddy. Let's take this fool down!"
"You stupid ponytail bitch!" Lord Yukimura said, getting back up. He posed to fight the both of them as they did the same.
Lord Sakon and Lord Zhao Yun were fighting one another. Lord Zhao Yun was beating Lord Sakon though.
Damn, this guy is too strong. Regardless, Lord Sakon continued fighting Lord Yukimura.
"You look like a man with a sense of dignity. How could you let that guy take an innocent girl like Kabanuna away from us? This is all your friend Keiji's fault why you guys are going down!" Lord Zhao Yun yelled, striking Lord Sakon one time and Lord Sakon fell down. Shit, I hate running away but if I don't, I'll die here by this Chinese man's hands! Lord Zhao Yun striked at Lord Sakon but he rolled away, grabbed his weapon, and ran away from Lord Zhao Yun. "Hey! Get back here!" Lord Zhao Yun chased after Lord Sakon.
Lord Keiji and Lord Lu Bu were fighting each other and they were evenly matched. This peon may prove to be mighty like me but I will never respect him. He stole Kabanuna away and I couldn't get her from him. Not only that but this stupid guy waved goodbye to me to taunt me. I will kill him at all costs.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Lord Lu Bu shouted angrily at Lord Keiji. This man is serious about killing me. I'd better try to kill him first.
"Bite me, like the others will stand a chance!" Lord Keiji replied as it pissed Lord Lu Bu off some more. Lord Lu Bu striked his Halberd at Lord Keiji but he blocked the attack and kicked Lord Lu Bu on the stomach but Lord Lu Bu did a back flip and pushed Lady Kaihime away from him because she was in his way. Lord Lu Bu's foot also hit Lord Keiji's chin too. Lady Kaihime fell down.
"Ow! Bitch!" Lord Keiji and Lady Kaihime yelled in unison. Lady Kaihime was about to hit Lord Lu Bu but Lady Lu Lingqi tackled Lady Kaihime from the side they both landed on the ground.
Lord Kiyomasa, along with Lord Masanori, went inside Lady Kaihime and Lady Kunoichi's tent. There they saw Kabanuna holding her bow and carrying her bag of arrows along with the bag of clothes.
"Lord Kiyomasa! Lord Masanori!" shouted Kabanuna, surprised. Lord Kiyomasa rushed to her. Since Yukimura and Keiji are busy, I'll take her away from here. Besides, the Chinese people are here to take her away from us. We can't let that happen.
"Come on, I'll take you away from here." Lord Kiyomasa said, grabbing her hands and taking her out of the tent.
"W… Wait, Lord Kiyomasa. I'd really rather…" Kabanuna began as he put her on his horse and climbed on the horse after her. He kicked the horse on the side and it began running off. Lord Masanori's horse ran after Lord Kiyomasa's horse. They began to flee the camp.
While Lord Sima Zhao was still fighting Lord Mitsunari, he saw Kabanuna on Lord Kiyomasa's horse and they were fleeing. Oh hell no, this fag is gonna try to take Kabanuna out of the camp! Who knows where they'll land?
"They're taking Kabanuna away!" shouted Lord Sima Zhao as loud as he could as he kicked Lord Mitsunari on the stomach and he fell down. The Chinese people saw Lord Kiyomasa having Kabanuna on his horse.
"After them!" shouted the 3 Chinese lords. The Chinese people began fleeing out of the camp but the Japanese people tried their best to keep them company and fight them. Most of the Chinese people left the camp while a few stayed behind and fought the Japanese people.
Oh fuck, they're after us. We're gonna need someone else to keep her away from the Chinese bitches. I hate to do this but we have to go to another force for now. We'll head to the Tokugawa forces, because Nobuyuki is fighting with the Chinese and because Kabanuna is supposed to be Yukimura's wife.
"Masanori, let's head on to the Tokugawa forces." Lord Kiyomasa said and Lord Masanori agreed. They began riding all the way to the Tokugawa forces.
Ieyasu Tokugawa's men saw Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori arriving. They knew that they were their enemies.
"Intruder alert!" the men shouted, as they readied their bow and arrows from the top of the castle. From the bottom, many of the Tokugawa men readied their swords and spears.
Lord Tadakatsu and Lady Ina, along with Lady Naotora and Lord Hanzo were on the front line, waiting for Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori in case they made it through the rain of arrows they were about to witness.
"Aim and fire!" shouted the captain of the archery unit. The men began shooting arrows at Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori…
When I saw the rain of arrows coming towards us, I felt so scared and I thought I was gonna die. I began screaming. Lord Kiyomasa's horse was dodging the arrows. I looked up and saw an arrow flying towards me. My eyes widened with fear.
Before I knew it, I took out an arrow from the armor bag and shot the arrow coming towards me and Lord Kiyomasa…
Lord Tadakatsu watched in amazement how the girl riding the horse with Lord Kiyomasa repelled the arrow shot towards them. Only his daughter, Ina, would be able to do something like that. Hmph, impressive, but not as talented as my daughter. Surely if they duel, Ina would win. That girl just got lucky.
Hm, there appears to be a woman with Lord Kiyomasa and she is good with archery as I am. I can't wait to duel against her. Let's see who is better. Ina thought to herself, smiling and readying her bow and arrows.
What business do Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori have with us? Who is that lady with them? Surely they don't expect to win with just 3 people, right? Could it be that they are being used as a decoy and the main army is attacking us from behind? Lady Naotora thought to herself, as she watched them approach them.
When Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori approached Lord Tadakatsu, Lady Ina, Lord Hanzo, and Lady Naotora, they got off their horses and went to them. The 4 of them posed to fight them both.
"I'm not here to fight you guys. I came to tell you important news." Lord Kiyomasa said. The 4 warriors looked at each other.
"What news?" asked Lord Tadakatsu. Lord Kiyomasa turned to Kabanuna, who was still on the horse.
"This lady here. She is the one who is getting married to Yukimura. When the wedding was still ongoing, the Chinese forces arrived, demanding for her. We refused to give her to them and they attacked us. Nobuyuki is getting attacked. The Chinese forces were following behind us too but I think we lost them for now. I didn't know where else to go for her to be safe. I know I can trust you guys to protect her, because she is gonna be Nobuyuki's sister in law and Nobuyuki is your boyfriend and she is Yukimura's bride to be." Lord Kiyomasa explained to them.
"What? Nobuyuki! How can we trust you? You could be lying to us." Ina said. Lord Masanori shook his head.
"No, we're actually telling you the truth. Lord Kiyomasa and I will lead the Chinese forces to a different path and you guys keep her safe. Good enough for you?" Lord Masanori said. Lord Tadakatsu knows that Lord Kiyomasa isn't a liar and he is smart enough to bring a large force number if he is gonna attack them.
"Very well, we'll keep her safe but I cannot promise you that we'll be able to keep her safe if the Chinese people find out she is here and we engage in combat." Lord Tadakatsu said to them. Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori nodded their heads. Lord Kiyomasa then went to the girl the 4 of them didn't know. He helped her get down and took her to them.
This is Yukimura's bride? She is very beautiful. Lord Tadakatsu thought.
Wow, I wonder how Yukimura found such a lovely and beautiful girl here in Japan. Lady Ina thought to herself.
Oh, she is simply perfect! She is pretty. Lady Naotora thought to herself.
Yukimura getting married to this girl? Hmph, he would. Lord Hanzo thought.
"Kabanuna, this is Tadakatsu, Ina, Naotora, and Hanzo. You guys, this is Kabanuna. They'll take care of you for now. Masanori and I have to lead the Chinese people away so you'll be safe." Lord Kiyomasa said to her.
"But I don't need…" Kabanuna began, as Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori got on their horses and began galloping away…
I watched Lord Kiyomasa and Lord Masanori gallop away. I sighed. Do they not realize that I am originally from China? Those Chinese people they are talking about are my friends and they came all the way to Japan to take me back. Why would they take me further away from my Chinese friends? Do they want to make me Japanese or something?
"Come on, Kabanuna. Let's get in the gates before the Chinese people spot you here. We'll take you to meet everyone."Lady Ina said, taking me inside.
We went inside the gates and they closed it behind us. There were tents around and many armies were training.
"Ina and Naotora, I will leave you in charge of Kabanuna. I will inform Ieyasu of what is happening." Lord Tadakatsu said. Lady Ina and Lady Naotora nodded their heads. Lord Tadakatsu turned to me. I smiled out to him and he smiled back. He left with Lord Hanzo while Lady Naotora and Lady Ina took me off deeper in the camp.
We went towards the training grounds and saw 2 guys fighting each other. Lady Naotora cleared her throat and they stopped fighting each other and turned our way.
"Guys, this is Kabanuna. Kabanuna, this is Takatora Todo and Munenori Yagyu." Lady Naotora said happily. They both turned to me and smiled. I did the same too.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you 2." I said to them.
"It's nice to meet you too." They replied. Lady Naotora gasped and grabbed my arm. She began running to a man walking by. Lady Ina followed behind.
"Naomasa, meet Kabanuna. This is my cousin." Lady Naotora said. The guy turned and we exchanged smiles. Then we heard someone running to us. We turned and it was a man with a white powdered face.
"Lady Naotora, would you like to play kemari with me? Oh, hello there. I am Yoshimoto Imagawa. What is your name, beautiful?" he said to me. I blushed when he gave me that compliment.
"Hello there, Lord Yoshimoto. I'm Kabanuna." I replied to him.
"Okay, that sounds great, Yoshimoto," Lady Naotora said to him. She turned to me and Lady Ina. "Well I'm gonna go play kemari for a while. Come join us when you finish meeting everyone and still full of energy." I nodded my head and she went off with Lord Yoshimoto to play kemari. I wonder what kemari is.
"Come on, you just have to meet Ieyasu and that should conclude everyone." Lady Ina said and I nodded my head.
We went inside a tent where Lord Tadakatsu was at with another man sitting down. They turned to us when we approached.
"Ah, you must be the bride of Yukimura. I am Ieyasu Tokugawa. It is a pleasure to meet you." The man said to me. I haven't married Lord Yukimura yet so it's not necessary to say that I am his bride. Lady Kunoichi should be his bride, not me.
"Um, well… I'm not exactly Lord Yukimura's wife." I said to them.
"I heard that the Chinese forces are here to try and take you away. Do you know why they are doing so?" asked Lord Ieyasu. I looked down.
"To be honest, yes I know why they are trying to take me away. It's because I belong with them. I'm Chinese. I was taken from them and landed in Japan. The next thing I know, Lord Keiji said that I was gonna get married to Lord Yukimura." I replied to them. Lord Ieyasu nodded his head.
"I see… But you still are supposed to be marrying Lord Yukimura, right?" he asked. I looked down.
"To be honest, I…" I began as an army dashed inside the room.
"My lord, the Chinese people are closening!" he said, as Lord Ieyasu flinched one time. He grabbed his weapon.
"Tell everyone to prepare for battle! We must not let them take Kabanuna!" Lord Ieyasu shouted as everyone began running. Hm, couldn't I just go back with the Chinese? What's the point of all this fighting? I don't want anyone to get hurt. I ran out of the tent and to where Lady Ina and Lord Tadakatsu awaited my friends…
Wu forces approached the Tokugawa forces. There were lots of Tokugawa archery men waiting for permission to fire their arrows at them.
"I bet these bitches fucken have Kabanuna. That's why they have so many men waiting for us." Lord Gan Ning said, as they were getting near.
"Aim and fire!" Lord Ieyasu shouted. The armies began shooting arrows at them. All of Wu's officers were dodging the arrows. Most of them made it through the rain of arrows. Lord Gan Ning was the first to reach and he jumped off his horse and landed on top of Lord Takatora.
"Get the hell off me, you Chinese peon!" Lord Takatora shouted, pushing Lord Gan Ning off him. Lord Gan Ning fell down and kicked Lord Yoshimoto on the butthole really hard and Lord Yoshimoto arched his back harshly and made a painful face.
"Attack! Find Kabanuna at all costs! Destroy this camp if you have to!" Lord Sun Jian shouted, as he and Lord Ieyasu engaged in combat together.
"Yah!" Lord Ling Tong shouted, high jump kicking Lord Naomasa and he fell down and ate some sand. He spit it out and kicked Lord Ling Tong's butt hard and Lord Ling Tong swung on a Tokugawa army and threw him to Lord Munenori.
"Give us Kabanuna! We know you have her!" Lord Zhu Ran shouted, on his horse and killing the Tokugawa armies as his horse ran past them. Lord Hanzo wrapped his weapon around Lord Zhu Ran's body and pulled him off his horse. "Ow you fucken bitch!" The two of them began fighting one another.
"Give us Kabanuna or we will put an end to all of you!" Lord Ding Feng shouted, fighting against Lord Tadakatsu.
"Fuck you ugly!" replied Lord Tadakatsu.
"Bring it! You Japanese people got nothing on us!" Lord Sun Ce shouted, killing so many of the Tokugawa armies. He and Lord Taishi Ci were taking the armies down one by one.
Lady Sun Shang Xiang grabbed an army's bow and arrows. She and Lady Ina began shooting at each other while dodging arrows. Lady Xiao Qiao came behind Lady Ina and tackled her to the ground. Lady Naotora kicked Lady Xiao Qiao away from Lady Ina and helped her up.
"Ina, are you alright?" Lady Naotora asked, as she got pushed by Lady Lian Shi. She also fell down next to Lady Ina. The both of them began engaging combat with Lady Sun Shang Xiang, Lady Da Qiao, Lady Xiao Qiao, and Lady Lian Shi.
Lord Gan Ning and Lord Ling Tong entered the camp and saw Kabanuna standing up. They ran to her and she gasped and smiled. She met them halfway.
"Kabanuna! Are you alright?" asked Lord Gan Ning. Kabanuna nodded her head.
"I'm fine." She replied. Lord Gan Ning and Lord Ling Tong took her on their horse and they began galloping off.
"We have Kabanuna! Let's get out of here!" shouted Lord Gan Ning, killing every army that came by. The young Wu officers began fleeing after Lord Gan Ning and Lord Ling Tong on their horses as well.
It was night time and they needed to rest up their horses. They were in Shizugatake and under the beautiful blossoming trees.
"We'll rest up for a bit and then head off again when daylight comes." Lord Lu Xun told them and they agreed. They all slept together, with Kabanuna being in the middle. They made sure she fell asleep first before sleeping.
Lord Magoichi Saika was taking a walk in Shizugatake late at night after Lady Gracia was sleeping. He remembered how she told him she wanted a friend that's a girl so she wouldn't be so lonely. He sighed.
"Where am I gonna find a girl that will agree to come with me? Most women don't trust me anymore." Lord Magoichi told himself as he turned and saw a group of people fast asleep. There were 5 girls but only one caught his eyes. He squat down and looked at her. "Well hello there, beautiful. You are the perfect companion for Gracia. Who says the woman has to agree to come? She's asleep. She'll have fun with us."
Lord Magoichi crept over to the people wearing red as carefully as possible. He made his way to the girl. She was so beautiful. My god, you are a thing of beauty. He carefully picked her up so she wouldn't wake up. He successfully did so and began taking her back to where his Saika Renegades were at.
Sleeping was uncomfortable for Lord Gan Ning so he opened his eyes and turned over to Kabanuna but she was gone! Lord Gan Ning flinched. What the hell? Where did Kabanuna go? Don't tell me those fucken Japanese bitches took her again! Lord Gan Ning quickly got up.
"Guys, wake up! Kabanuna's gone!" he shouted, as everyone woke up. They searched around for her but they didn't find her.
"Gracia, I have a surprise for you." Lord Magoichi said, gently shaking Lady Gracia after putting the beautiful girl on the ground. Lady Gracia woke up sleepily. She rubbed her eyes a few times and yawned.
"What is it, Mago?" Lady Gracia asked and Lord Magoichi smiled. He turned to the girl sleeping soundly. Lady Gracia turned and saw another girl sleeping. Lady Gracia gasped and smiled. Hooray, a new friend that's a girl! "Mago, this is the best surprise ever! I can't wait to meet her when she wakes up!"
"I knew you'd like her." Lord Magoichi said, smiling…
I opened my eyes to a pair of cute round eyes staring at me. I gasped and sat up. Where am I? How did I end up here? Where are Lord Gan Ning and the others?
"Hello there! My name is Gracia Akechi. What's your name? You're really pretty!" she exclaimed happily. I saw a man holding a gun and it looked scary. He turned to me and I quickly looked away.
"Uh… I… I'm Kabanuna." I replied.
"Magoichi Saika's the name," the guy said getting up from sitting down. He walked towards Lady Gracia and I. "Sorry about last night that I just took you. Gracia wanted a friend that's a girl and I saw you and I thought you guys would be great friends."
"I don't understand, why do I keep getting taken from people?" I asked, looking down and thinking about all those times where I was taken away many times, even before I was in Japan. Now the Chinese and the Japanese seem to be taking me away from each other as well. I hugged my arms.
"It's okay, Kabanuna. Mago will protect you from danger and we'll get to go on wonderful adventures and everything! I promise you'll like it!" Lady Gracia said happily, clasping her hands together.
"Come on ladies, we gotta get going. We have a long way to go." Lord Magoichi said. Am I just supposed to leave with them? What about my friends that are still here? Lady Gracia got up happily.
"But… What about my friends you took me away from? I can't just leave them behind." I said, getting up. Lord Magoichi turned to me.
"I'm sure you'll find them again. Until then, I'll keep you safe. We're your friends for now." Lord Magoichi said to me. I looked down. Lady Gracia took my arm and made me walk with them.
"Kabanuna, we're gonna be best friends forever!" Lady Gracia shouted happily. We walked after Lord Magoichi while his men were behind us…
The young Wei officers were in Shizugatake in search of Kabanuna. They were walking when they spotted some Japanese people not too far away from them. In front of the army was a man and 2 girls, one which looked kind of like Kabanuna.
Is that Kabanuna with them? Lord Zhong Hui thought to himself as he looked closely. She had silver iris eyes and that was enough to know it was Kabanuna. Lord Zhong Hui mugged the guy before turning to his friends.
"Those bitches have Kabanuna under custody. We have to save her." Lord Zhong Hui said as they all looked closely and really did see Kabanuna with them. The girl with her looks like she is holding on to Kabanuna's arm so she can't escape.
That dirty skank whore. How dare she hold Kabanuna under custody? She is even smaller than Kabanuna! Lord Yue Jin thought as they ambushed Lord Magoichi and Lady Gracia.
"Give us Kabanuna, you no good Japanese thief!" Lord Xiahou Ba shouted to them, as Lord Goemon Ishikawa popped out of nowhere and threw a treasure to him.
"Okay, sorry! Take it back. Man, just when I thought I was hella slick." Lord Goemon said to himself. Everyone was confused.
"Who the hell are you?" Lord Li Dian said.
"I am Goemon Ishikawa, the number one thief in all of Japan!" he shouted, as Lord Yue Jin striked at Lord Magoichi.
"Sorry big boy, she's gonna be sticking with us for a while." Replied Lord Magoichi, blocking his attack as Lord Sima Zhao smacked his head from behind and Lord Sima Shi kicked his side and he fell down. Lady Gracia got mad and pushed Lord Sima Zhao but he didn't even move.
Oh shit, I gotta get out of here before I end up being in the fight. Lord Goemon thought to himself, as he quickly dashed off but no one noticed that he left.
"How dare you hurt my friend Mago? You'll pay for that!" Lady Gracia said, as Lady Wang Yuanji pushed Lady Gracia and she fell down. Lord Zhong Hui grabbed Kabanuna away from them. Lord Magoichi's men aimed their rifles at the young Wei people.
"Kabanuna, get out of here. This battle is between us. You might get hurt." Lord Wen Yang said to her and she got in between them and shook her head.
"No, please don't fight! It's not worth it!" Kabanuna said but everyone got ready to fight.
"It is worth it, Kabanuna. We'll make the stupid Japanese people regret taking you away here in the first place. So please, leave this place. We'll find you whenever we finish them off." Lord Zhong Hui said.
"But…" she began.
"We'll find you, Kabanuna. Leave this place." Lord Magoichi said. Kabanuna shook her head again.
"I…" Kabanuna began again.
"Go!" Lord Xun Yu shouted, startling her as she began running off…
I don't know how long I have been running but I was so tired that I fell down. I was panting hard and felt exhausted. Where am I now? I'm lost and alone. What should I do? I forced myself to get up and start walking.
As I was walking, I saw a man leaning on a tree. He looked like he was hurt. He had 2 swords with him and had ropes tied as a headband on his forehead. Did he fall off the tree or did he get hurt from battle? Either way, he's hurt. I should go tend to his wounds. I began walking slowly towards the man, careful not to wake him up…
Lord Musashi Miyamoto was resting when he heard light footsteps approaching. He had been injured for the last few days from helping a village repel the bandits. Hm, an enemy trying to sneak on me. Whatever, I'll pretend to stay asleep until he comes near me. Then I'll strike at him.
Right when the footsteps got super close to him, he opened his eyes and knocked that person to the ground and put his 2 swords to their necks. It was then that he heard a tiny and cute girl scream. He looked at the person and fell in love. Whoa, this girl. Who is she? She is so beautiful! Lord Musashi quickly got off her.
"Don't sneak on me like that. I almost killed you!" Lord Musashi said to her. He doesn't harm women and he almost did because of her. The girl sat up and looked down.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to sneak on you like that. I saw you were injured and I just wanted to heal you. I thought you were sleeping so I was trying to be careful so I don't wake you up." The girl explained to him. She sounds so cute.
"Oh, well in that case, it's alright. I'm a very cautious person so be careful tip toeing around me. I could have done some serious damage to you," Lord Musashi said. The girl smiled and he smiled too. Wow, her smile is warming. I've never met anyone like her before. "So, what's your name? I'm Musashi Miyamoto."
"Hello Lord Musashi. My name is Kabanuna… Um, you're hurt, right? Let me heal you." Kabanuna said to him. Lord Musashi nodded this head and she smiled. Kabanuna closed her eyes and put her hands out in front of her slowly. As she was doing so, white stream lights came flowing from her arms down to her palms and rose up from her hands. It took the form of a teardrop and she let it flow gently to his left thigh and entered in his thighs. It then healed completely. He was amazed.
"Wow Kabanuna… You have healing abilities. You're one of a kind. Thank you," Lord Musashi said, as he got up. Kabanuna smiled and got up as well. Where is a girl like her headed off to? "Where are you headed, Kabanuna?" right then, she stopped smiling and looked down.
"I… I don't know. I'm kinda lost." She explained.
"You're lost? It's okay. I'll protect you from danger. It's the least I can do to repay you for healing me. Come on, I'll take you somewhere safe. There's a village nearby." Lord Musashi said to her and she nodded her head. Lord Musashi smiled and they began walking towards the village…
As Lord Musashi and I were walking, a man wearing red suddenly popped out from the tree and landed on top of Lord Musashi. It scared me and I screamed. Lord Musashi pushed the man off him.
"Kojiro… What the hell do you want? I just fought you not too long ago." Lord Musashi said, getting up. Lord Kojiro smiled and turned to me. He looked very deadly and scary. I got scared so I hid behind Lord Musashi and held on to his shirt. Who is this man? Why does he have such an evil vibe?
"Haha, I see. You now have a girlfriend. Maybe I can play with her since you refuse to fight me. But what's the fun in that? Killing some innocent girl who is weak would bore me. I want someone strong like you to fight me, Musashi. My sword craves your blood stain on it. Fight me, or I will end you girlfriend right here right now." Lord Kojiro said and I gasped. He… He's going to kill me!
"Fine, I'll fight you," Lord Musashi said and I looked at him as he turned to me, "I know I said I'd protect you but it's not safe right now. He's dangerous. The village isn't too far away from here. Just keep going straight and you'll arrive there in no time." Not again. I hate being alone. It's a scary feeling. I shook my head.
"What about you?" I asked.
"I'll be fine. Once I beat him, I'll come find you in the village. Now go on." Lord Musashi said. I didn't want to leave but I decided to, because he said he'd look for me. I turned around and began running straight like Lord Musashi said…
Lord Masamune Date and his buddy Kojuro Katakura were walking in town, buying some food. They bought some sushi and smoked salmon. They had the plate of food and were walking out of the town when a girl bumped into Lord Masamune and caused his food to fly out of his hand and into the dirt. The girl also fell down. Tsk! This stupid girl! Couldn't she see me walking here? Why would she bump into me? This girl is gonna buy me more food.
"Hey! Watch where you're going! You stupid little girl! You made me drop my food! You better buy me some food to make up for it!" Lord Masamune yelled at the girl as she turned and his eyes grew wide. Oh shit! That girl is hella pretty! Oh, what the hell am I thinking? She made me drop my food and I didn't even get to eat it! The girl got up and turned to him.
"I… I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" She said, leaning over to him. Her eyes were twinkling and so irresistible. He quickly turned away from her eyes.
"You made me drop my food." He managed to tell her, out of his state of falling hard for her. She looked down at his sushi and gasped, covering her mouth. She then turned back to him.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know I made you drop you food. You must be hungry and oh, how could I have bumped into you and make you drop your food? I'm such a terrible person!" she said, covering her face. Lord Masamune then began to feel bad for her. He scratched the back of his head. Gee, this girl is so innocent. I just can't be cruel to her! "Hey, it's alright. It was just a little bit anyways." The girl stopped covering her face.
"Um… I don't have any Japanese money with me right now. Oh, I know! I'll get you some money, okay? Just wait right here and don't move an inch okay?" the girl said, running towards town. Lord Masamune and Lord Kojuro watched her go off.
"She… Sure is something, isn't she?" his friend said. Lord Masamune chuckled. She really is an odd girl. They saw her stopping and setting her bag out in front of her. Then to their surprise, she began singing a song! Her voice was so angelic and beautiful! Many people gave her money and when she finished, she thanked everyone and ran back to him. She took his hand and gave him the money she received.
"Here, I got you some money." She said, giving the money to him. It was more than what he owned currently. Lord Masamune couldn't help but smile.
"You didn't have to but thanks. I'm Masamune Date and this is my pal Kojuro Katakura. What's your name? How come you were in a rush?" Lord Masamune asked.
"I'm Kabanuna. Lord Musashi told me to run into town while he fights Lord Kojiro." She told him. Since when did Musashi begin traveling with such a beautiful girl? How did he even meet her? I think she'd be safer with us. Besides, being the one eyed dragon's girl is an honor. Lord Masamune quickly thought of an idea.
"You were with Musashi? Didn't you know? He's a monster. That's why he's always alone. He likes to eat humans, especially young girls like you. Good thing you're here. Otherwise he would have eaten you. You should come with us. We'll protect you from him." Lord Masamune lied, as Kabanuna got scared and held his arm really tight.
"L… Lord Musashi's a monster? He wants to eat me? Oh no, this is terrible! There's a monster in Japan!" Kabanuna said, being so scared. Lord Kojuro wanted to laugh so much. She would believe such a thing. I guess once you like a girl, you'll say whatever to get her to follow you. Masamune really is a genius.
"We'll protect you from Musashi. For now, we need to leave here before he finds you." Lord Kojuro said to Kabanuna and she nodded her head. They began walking off quickly and left the town.
The young Shu officers were looking for Kabanuna in Osaka in hopes that they could find her. Their horses were tired of running so they decided to rest under a giant tree with lots of shades. They were all pretty exhausted too. Lord Zhang Bao was tempted to keep going and searching for her but the others persuaded him to stay.
"We're gonna need our strength when we find her. If we find her while we're exhausted, we might not be able to prevent the Japanese from taking her further away." His sister Lady Xing Cai told him. Lord Zhang Bao groaned and slumped down on the grass and crossed his arms together. Everyone wanted to keep searching but they would need to preserve their energy to fight.
Kabanuna, I hope you're alright. I'll find you no matter what. I promise you that. Lord Jiang Wei thought to himself as he turned and saw a girl with 2 guys walking down the grassy area a bit far from them. He turned away but quickly turned back when he noticed she had long hair that was purplish red. Lord Jiang Wei squinted his eyes and saw that the girl looked a lot like Kabanuna.
"Hey you guys, doesn't that girl resemble Kabanuna?" Lord Jiang Wei questioned his friends. They all turned. Lady Xing Cai had really good eye sight and looked carefully. She remembers how Kabanuna's weapon looks like. There was no doubt, it was Kabanuna.
"No, it is her. I remember how her weapon looks like." Lady Xing Cai said as they all got up. Lord Guan Xing was the first to get on his horse and make it run towards Kabanuna. Everyone got on their horses and made their horses run after his…
I was walking with Lord Masamune and Lord Kojuro, along with their men. I looked up and saw people on horses coming our way. I wonder who they are. They are wearing cool green armor outfits. I wish I had a cool armor outfit as well. Wait a minute, green armor outfits? Could they be? It's my Shu friends! They're coming for me. Wow, I am so happy they are here! I need to warn them of a monster in Japan.
"Kabanuna!" I heard Lord Guan Xing say. Lord Masamune and Lord Kojuro turned my Shu friends.
"Who the hell are they?" Lord Masamune asked.
"They're my Shu friends! I have to warn them of a monster Lord Musashi in case he tries to eat them!" I replied, beginning to run off but Lord Kojuro pulled me back. I tried to pull away. Do they not want me to warn them? Perhaps they want them to be eaten by monster Lord Musashi? This is terrible. "Lord Kojuro, please let me go. I need to warn them of the danger in Japan!" Lord Kojuro didn't listen to me. I watched as my Shu friends approached.
"Hey! Let her go!" shouted Lord Zhang Bao furiously. They all got off their horse and went to them.
"She belongs to the Date Clan. She is the one eyed dragon's girlfriend! What business do you have with her?" Lord Masamune asked meanly. Kabanuna had a shocked face and turned to Lord Masamune. Lord Jiang Wei, Lord Guan Xing, Lord Zhang Bao, Lord Ma Dai, and Lord Zhao Yun got very mad and jealous.
"Girlfriend? Why you!" Lord Zhao Yun said angrily and pulled Kabanuna's right arm as Lord Kojuro held her right arm. They began to play tug a war with her arms.
"Guys, please stop! You're hurting me!" Kabanuna said, being pulled by each arm. The Shu officers pulled harder so Lord Kojuro and Lord Masamune ended up letting go of her left arm as she flew and landed in Lord Ma Dai's arms. He caught her.
"Are you alright?" he asked her and she nodded her head.
"That's it! Men, attack!" Lord Masamune ordered his men as they took out their shotguns and began shooting at the Shu officers. The Shu officer's horses began running away in fear of the bullets.
"Guys, this is no time to be fighting! There's a monster in Japan!" Kabanuna said, as they continued fighting anyways. Lord Zhao Yun rushed to Kabanuna and used his spear to deflect the bullets that come near her. They all didn't want Kabanuna to get hurt.
"Kabanuna, get out of here! This is not a place for you to be at right now! Go! We'll find you as soon as we can." Lord Zhao Yun said. Kabanuna shook her head.
"What about you guys?" she asked.
"Don't worry about us! Get out of here while you can!" Lady Guan Yinping said, using her weapon and smacking one of Lord Masamune's men on the head. Lady Xing Cai picked up the man's shotgun and began shooting at them too.
"We'll be fine, Kabanuna. Please, get to safety!" Lord Jiang Wei shouted as a bullet almost hit him. He quickly moved and it scanned him. Kabanuna then began running off as they were fighting with Lord Masamune and his men…
I ran as fast as I could anywhere. I was lost again and didn't know where I was going. I saw a ship and decided to hide there. I went inside one of the wheel barrels and hid in there. This is a good hiding spot for now. Pretty soon, I heard footsteps approaching. Then, the wheel barrel I was in got lifted up and I was being taken away. Oh no, what now? What's happening? Where am I being taken? Just when I was about to pound on the wheel barrel, I felt the wheel barrel being thrown and I hit the ground hard and passed out.
"Which one did you say you wanted, Lord Motochika?" I heard as I began waking up. I felt a pain on my head and it was dark where I was. Where am I? Oh yeah, I'm still in the barrel! And it's so dark in here! I need to get out of here! I began pounding on the wheel barrel.
"Someone, please get me out of here!" I shouted, as I pounded on the wheel barrel and I felt it tip over. I managed a small scream and tried to push the lid off but it wouldn't budge. I began pounding on it again. "Please, get me out!" I continued pounding on the lid…
Lord Toyohisa Shimazu was down the ship basement where there was the Sake's in wheel barrels. He was a bit tipsy and he thought he heard a girl's voice but it was kind of low. He thought his mind was playing tricks on him but then a wheel barrel fell down and scared the wits out of him. He flinched back and fell down on the empty wheel barrels.
"Man, if my father even had to keep giving me drinks." Lord Toyohisa told himself, getting back up. He walked to a wheel barrel.
"Please, get me out of here!" he heard the girl's voice again. It sounded like it was coming from the wheel barrel that fell down. He then snapped out of being tipsy and knew that a girl really was trapped in a wheel barrel. He went to it and lifted the wheel barrel back up. He opened the lid and out came the most beautiful girl he's ever seen! Whoa, am I really seeing her or is this my mind playing tricks on me again?
"Oh, thank you so much for getting me out!" she said. Lord Toyohisa helped her out of the wheel barrel and wondered how she even got in.
"How did you get in there without us knowing?" he asked.
"I thought it was a good hiding spot. My friends were battling and they told me to go to safety so I saw one of this and decided to get in until a while but then I was carried and I felt it being thrown and then I passed out. I woke up when I heard you and then you helped me." She explained. He couldn't help but smile and laugh. Man, she is so cute! This is no place to be chit chatting.
"Oh, okay then. Come on, let's not stay in the basement." Lord Toyohisa said, leading her out of the basement and to where everyone was at.
"What took you so long, son? Where's the sake you were supposed to bring us?" Lord Yoshihiro said, turning and seeing his son with a girl. Who is she? Did she secretly come with my son here? Is that Toyohisa's girlfriend?
"Um… Well, to tell you the truth, I was getting sake for us but then I heard someone calling for help so I opened a barrel and she came out of it." Lord Toyohisa said. Everyone turned to her. Lord Motochika turned and thought that she was very pretty. Lady Koshosho thought that she was pretty and cute. She got up and went to the girl.
"Hello there. I am Kososho. What's your name, little girl? How did you ever land in one of those sake barrels? You must have been in there for hours. Are you hungry?" Lady Koshosho asked her. She was happy that there was another girl with them. Lady Koshosho was usually the only girl around.
"I'm Kabanuna. To be honest, I am hungry." Kabanuna replied to her. Kabanuna then explained to them why she landed there. Lady Koshosho got her some teriyaki chicken on a stick with some rice. "Thank you so much Lady Koshosho!" Everyone ate in happiness.
"I'm Toyohisa Shimazu and this is my father, Yoshihiro Shimazu." Lord Toyohisa said to Kabanuna.
"I'm Motochika Chosokabe." Lord Motochika added in. Kabanuna smiled.
"It's nice to meet all of you." Kabanuna said, as a chain wrapped around her and she screamed. They were all shocked. Lord Toyohisa tried to grab her but she was pulled by the chain out of the ship and disappeared into the dark.
"Kabanuna!" they shouted as they stopped the boat and looked around but they didn't see her anymore.
Lord Takakage Kobayakawa was riding away from the ship with the girl he took. He thought he had grabbed Lady Koshosho. The girl was struggling but he held on to her tightly.
"Staying like this hurts my tummy a lot. Can you please undo the chains? It really hurts me," The girl said innocently. He paid no attention to her and she was trying to escape the chains. He stopped the horse and put her down. Lord Takakage then put her in a bag and tied it. "Hey! Get me out of here!" You sure can fake your voice, Koshosho, but I won't fall for it. He got back on the horse and held the bag and returned to the Mori/Tachibana camp.
He arrived and his father, Lord Motonari smiled. He was sitting down next to Lady Ginchiyo Tachibana and Lord Muneshige Tachibana. They can hear "Koshosho" using a fake voice, telling Lord Takakage to get her out. Lord Takakage set the bag on the ground.
"Please, let me out of here!" she said.
"Quiet you! We are not stupid as to fall for your tricks again!" Lady Ginchiyo yelled, getting up as Lord Muneshige took her hand and made her sit down again.
"We got you now. We won't fall for your tricks again, Koshosho. You may have pulled it off the last time we met but this time, things are different. I know you'll do whatever it takes so that we can't have Shikoku. Now that we got you, we're gonna use you to make Motochika surrender and give up Shikoku." Lord Motonari said.
"You… You're misunderstanding! I'm not Lady Koshosho! I'm Kabanuna! You have the wrong person!" she said, as they didn't believe her.
"Right. And that's what you said last time. You say you're not Koshosho and say you are whatever name you think of. Nice try, Koshosho." Lord Muneshige said.
"No, really! I'm not Lady Koshosho! My name is Kabanuna." She said again. Lord Motonari shook his head. That Koshosho can really change her voice when necessary. This time, we have to be prepared for her.
"Haha, if you say so, Koshosho. Takakage, open the bag." Lord Motonari said, as their men readied their weapons close to the bag. Lord Takakage opened the bag and out came a girl they've never seen before! It shocked Lord Takakage the most. What? I could've sworn she was Koshosho!
"Who the hell are you? Why aren't you Koshosho?" asked Lord Takakage, confused. She got out of the bag.
"I told you. I'm not Lady Koshosho. I'm Kabanuna." She said again. They were really frustrated that the girl really wasn't Koshosho and she was telling the truth. Well, regardless, she still was with the Chosokabe and Shimazu.
"She still was with them though, meaning that even though we don't have Koshosho as planned, we could still get him to surrender using this Kabanuna girl." Lord Muneshige said and they thought that it was a brilliant idea. Kabanuna shook her head.
"I'm not with them. I barely knew them for a short while until you guys took me away. Honest!" Kabanuna said. She seemed like she was telling the truth. "You have to believe me. I went inside one of their barrels for sake and I was taken away by accident. I just recently got rescued from being in there and I barely got to know their names before you wrapped the chains around me as I ended up here."
"No matter how you look at it, she's just not fit to be in war. Release her." Lord Motonari said as Lord Takakage unchained her.
"She could be lying. You have to think things through first, Motonari! It will be your fault if she escapes and is a part of their people." Lady Ginchiyo said angrily. How can he be so stupid and just unchain her like that? What if she is a part of their clan?
"Ginchiyo, calm down. I don't think she belongs here. She's wearing a Chinese dress. She doesn't look Japanese either. We apologize about this, Kabanuna. I am Muneshige Tachibana and this is my wife Ginchiyo." Lord Muneshige said to Kabanuna.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Muneshige and Lady Tachibana." She said.
"I'm Motonari Mori and this is my son, Takakage Kobayakawa." Lord Motonari said and she smiled out. Lord Takakage felt so stupid for getting the wrong person. He was so sure that he got her that it got the best of him.
"I'm sorry about chaining you up and putting you in a bag. I really thought you were Koshosho." Lord Takakage said, feeling ashamed.
"It's okay. It was just an accident. I'm sure you didn't mean any harm to me." Kabanuna replied to him, looking up at him and his heart skipped a beat. He then grew kind of shy of her. She is so cute and pretty and I'm gonna be heir to the Mori clan soon. I'm single and I think she is too. I wonder if she'll accept my marriage proposal.
"Yeah." He replied, before going off. Lady Ginchiyo had to take her to a tent. She was still suspicious of Kabanuna no matter what. She gave Kabanuna the tent in between her and Lord Muneshige's.
"Here is where you'll be staying. I still don't trust you so your tent will be in between me and my husbands. Got that?" Lady Ginchiyo said, putting her hands on her hips. She expected Kabanuna to make a fuss out of it but instead she just smiled and nodded her head.
"Okay then. Thank you so much, Lady Ginchiyo. Good night and sweet dreams. Don't let the bad bugs bite. Dream of the good bugs tonight, okay?" Kabanuna said to her and it made Lady Ginchiyo feel kind of weird. What kind of girl is she? Never mind that. It's late and we need some rest. Lady Ginchiyo watched the girl go in the tent and begin sleeping before going into hers.
Lord Ling Tong waited with the rest of his Wu friends before going into the camp to get Kabanuna. His friends surrounded the camp area to make sure there were no Japanese people nearby.
He crept quietly and reached the front. He jumped and side curled across the gate. He laid down after side curling past the gate. He looked over to his friends, who would guide his way and signal if there's a Japanese person present. Lord Gan Ning did 2 thumbs up as a sign for him that it was okay to proceed. Lord Ling Tong got up and quietly crept towards Kabanuna's tent. While he was walking, Lady Sun Shang Xiang spotted a Japanese person coming out of the tent. She then did 2 thumbs down and Lord Ling Tong saw. He quickly went behind the closest tent and ducked. Lord Lu Xun saw that Lord Ling Tong was close to a Japanese person but his back was facing Lord Ling Tong. Lord Lu Xun waved to get Lord Ling Tong's attention. Lord Ling Tong saw and turned to him. Lord Lu Xun pointed to him and Lord Ling Tong turned and saw a Japanese person about to turn and see him. Lord Ling Tong then somersaulted to the next tent and hid on the side as the Japanese person turned but didn't see anyone.
"Shit, that was too close." Lord Ling Tong told himself quietly. That person was the only Japanese person they saw that was still awake. Lord Ling Tong was able to make it to Kabanuna's tent without waking anyone up.
He crept inside her tent and gently shook her awake. Kabanuna opened her eyes and saw him. She gasped quietly and he put his index finger to his lips. Kabanuna got up and they left the tent. They began walking out quietly past Lord Muneshige's tent. Right when they passed it, they heard him getting up. Lord Ling Tong quickly took her behind his tent and they sat down and held their breaths.
Lord Muneshige came out of his tent and looked around. He walked over to Lady Ginchiyo's tent and entered inside.
Lord Ling Tong and Kabanuna heard some whispering and then all of a sudden, they began hearing some soft moaning. Kabanuna's eyes widened in shock and she turned to Lord Ling Tong. He took her hand and they quickly left. What the fuck? Couldn't they have waited for that moment? Horny bastard.
Lord Gan Ning waited at the front for them and when he saw Kabanuna with Lord Ling Tong, he was so relieved to see her. Lord Ling Tong helped her up and Lord Gan Ning took her. They met up with the Wu youngsters. When Lord Zhu Ran saw her, he was so happy that he gave her a hug quickly. They then left the place…
The next day came and I woke up sleeping on Lady Sun Shang Xiang's shoulders. No one was awake yet but I heard a few guys' stomach's growling. I smiled to myself. They must be hungry. I'll quickly get something for us to eat. Oh, that tree over there has apples! Maybe I'll quickly get some.
I got up quietly and headed for the tree. When I arrived, I looked back and had no idea that it was further than it looked. When I reached the tree, I got an arrow and readied my bow to shoot when I got tackled by a wolf. I fell down and dropped my bow. I got up quickly and the wolf was growling at me. Oh no, this wolf doesn't look very friendly. I think it wants to eat me. Okay, maybe I can just run back to Lord Gan Ning them. I turned and saw 3 wolves walking towards me slowly. I was so frightened.
"Uh… Nice wolfies?" I said as it growled at me meanly, making me flinch and I began running off further away from Lord Gan Ning them. I was running for my life while the wolves were chasing me. I was so scared that I was gonna be eaten alive. Oh, someone please help me! I didn't know where I was going but I continued running while screaming…
Lord Toshiie Maeda, Lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Lady Nene, and Lord Katsuie Shibata were outside the gates, making sure no enemy were near. While they were being quiet, they were startled by a girl's scream.
"Nice wolfies! Please don't eat me! Get away from me! Ouch!" they heard.
"A woman is in danger! I must rush to her aid immediately!" Lord Hideyoshi said, beginning to run off. Lady Nene rolled her eyes. She hated how he was always talking about girls.
"No, Hideyoshi. You are to stay here. No one is to leave. It's that girl's fault for being in trouble." Lord Katsuie said. Lord Hideyoshi really wanted to help the girl out and Lady Nene did too but Lord Nobunaga placed Lord Katsuie in charge and they have to listen to him.
"Please stay away from me! Ouch! Stop it! That hurts me!" they heard again. Lord Toshiie couldn't take it anymore.
"Forgive me, Lord Katsuie but I cannot ignore those who need help." Lord Toshiie said and began running off into the woods where they heard the girl's voice.
Lord Toshiie was deep in the woods, following the voice when he approached 4 wolves attacking such an innocent and cute girl. He saw that she got 3 small slashes on her arm consecutively and a bite mark on her hand. She had a large bow weapon with her. How is it that this girl has a weapon but fails to use it?
"Hey! Back off now if you value your life!" he shouted to the wolves as they stopped attacking her and charged at him. He took out his sword.
"No, don't kill them!" the girl said. Lord Toshiie was confused. This girl could have died from those wolves, yet she doesn't want them dead? What kind of stupid girl is she? Lord Toshiie put the sword away and punched the wolves one time as they whimpered really loud and retreated. The girl sat down and leaned against the tree, panting. Her arm and hand was bleeding. Lord Toshiie walked to her.
"Are you alright?" he asked her. She nodded her head and he helped her up. She needed medical help. She looked at him in the eye and his heart began pounding. What's this I'm feeling? Could it be that I have fallen for her already? I guess it can't be helped. She is beautiful and cute.
"Thank you for saving me. You're one of my heroes. I'm Kabanuna. What is your name?" She told him and he smiled. He began taking her to the Oda camp.
"I'm Toshiie. Toshiie Maeda." He replied to her and she stopped walking.
"Are you a family member of Lord Keiji Maeda?" she asked. Keiji? She already met Keiji? He laughed a bit.
"He's my step cousin." Lord Toshiie replied.
"Oh, okay. Well it was nice meeting you. I have to get back to my friends now. They must be worried about me." She told him. He didn't want her to leave yet. He wanted a reason to talk to her.
"You're hurt. Let me band you up first and then I'll take you back to your friends, okay?" Lord Toshiie said.
"Okay then. Thank you so much." She replied. Lord Toshiie took her to where Lord Katsuie, Lord Hideyoshi, and Lady Nene waited for him. They went to him and Kabanuna. Aw, poor girl. She was attacked. Lady Nene thought.
"Guys, this is Kabanuna. She was attacked by 4 wolves. Kabanuna, this is Nene, Hideyoshi, and Lord Katsuie." Lord Toshiie said.
"Aw, are you okay sweetie? We'll get you fixed up," Lady Nene said, taking her inside the gates while the guys had to guard the gates. She began taking Kabanuna to her tent. "We'll get you fixed and then you can meet everyone here."
After Lady Nene put a band around Kabanuna's hand and arm, she took her out of the tent and took her to meet everyone. She saw Lady Oichi and Lord Nagamasa sitting down under the trees. She took Kabanuna to them. Lady Oichi and Lord Nagamasa turned when they came. "Hello, children. This is Kabanuna. Kabanuna, this is Oichi and Nagamasa."
"Hello." Lady Oichi and Lord Nagamasa said. Kabanuna smiled.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." She replied. Lady Nene saw Lord Hanbei Takenaka, Lord Kanbei Kuroda, and Lord Hisahide Matsunaga up ahead. She took Kabanuna to meet them too. They turned to her.
"Hey you guys. Meet Kabanuna. Kabanuna, meet Hanbei, Kanbei, and Hisahide." Lady Nene said, smiling. The 3 of them turned to Kabanuna. Wow, she's beautiful. Lord Hanbei thought to himself. He smiled.
"Hello there, Kabanuna. You are very beautiful." Lord Hanbei told her and she blushed. She smiled shyly.
"Thank you, Lord Hanbei. It's nice to meet you all." Kabanuna replied to them. Lady Nene took her to meet the last of the Oda clan. She went inside the tent where Lord Nobunaga, Lord Mitsuhide Akechi, Lord Ranmaru Mori, and Lady No were at…
I went inside the tent that Lady Nene took me and I saw Lord Cao Cao. I was confused. What? Why is Lord Cao Cao here? Does he know these people? I tilted my head to the right.
"Lord Cao Cao? What are you doing here?" I asked him and he looked confused. The other 3 strangers began laughing so hard.
"I think you have me mistaken for someone else. I am Nobunaga Oda." He told me and I felt so stupid. I gasped and covered my mouth. I can't believe I thought he was Lord Cao Cao! How embarrassing for me!
"I'm so sorry, Lord Nobunaga. I thought you were Lord Cao Cao." I told him. I turned to the man who was laughing the most. He cleared his throat.
"Sorry about that. I'm Mitsuhide Akechi." He said to me. He's an Akechi? Could he be related to Gracia?
"Excuse me, Lord Mitsuhide, are you related to Lady Gracia?" I asked. He nodded his head. Oh, so this man is related to her.
"She's my daughter." Lord Mitsuhide said to me and I was shocked. Wow, this man is Gracia's father?
"I'm Ranmaru Mori." The pretty girl said.
"Nice to meet you Lady Ranmaru. Are you related to Motonari Mori?" I asked and everyone laughed again. I didn't understand what was so funny. What's so funny?
"Um, I'm a guy, not a girl." She told me. I gasped again.
"You're not? Oh, I am terribly sorry Lord Ranmaru. Forgive me." I replied to him.
"I'm No." the deadly looking woman said.
"It's nice to meet you all. My name is Kabanuna." I told them.
"Is everything ready for Wuhang Mountains?" Lord Nobunaga asked. Lady Nene nodded her head. We went out of the tent and I saw that almost everything was packed up already. Lord Toshiie came to me with a horse.
"Hey Kabanuna. As promised, I'll take you back to your friends." Lord Toshiie said. I smiled and nodded my head. He helped me on his horse and got on after me. We began riding back and I told him which way to go.
When we arrived back where Lord Gan Ning and the others should be, there was no one. They already left. They must have thought that I left and are in search of me.
"I don't think there's anyone here. Why don't you come with us to Wuhang Mountains? Maybe you might see your friends there too." Lord Toshiie said and I nodded my head. I might not see my Wu friends there but I might see the others. They are all split up in Japan by now.
"You're right. I might see them there." I replied, agreeing to go with them. Lord Toshiie took us back to the camp and along with the Oda army, we marched forth to Wuhang Mountains…
