Just This Once

Pairing : IkeSen Nobunaga x Kicho

XxSmut + BLxX

------

Hideyoshi's scurried steps; the uneasiness, the scowl, the extreme panic expressions were mixed into one. Pacing back and forth, he eventually let out a loud groan. "We should send out the search party!! Right now! Anything can happen to him!!"

"Late night, with heavy rain, and thunder?" Mitsuhide answered nonchalantly, looking out the window as he said those words. "Our Lord must have taken an inn somewhere. He is not weak."

"That's obvious! But what if he-"

"He can manage, I believe he will return the next morning." Mitsuhide continued, a silent smile was on his face.

---

"Mm- Nnghh--"

Heavy breaths can be heard in that thunderstorm. A figure of two beings can be seen within that darkness, with the help of both of lightning, and the candles around the room. Raven hair soaked wet, and so does the jet black ones, not to be cared if their bodies wet the tatami beneath them.

"Nngh.." Nobunaga bucked his hips forward, causing the latter to gag slightly. There was a frown, but only for a second, and it was continued for another heavy breaths again. Nobunaga look down, his hand were still gripping on the raven hair locks, guiding it to move back and forth on his length, every now and then.

"I miss this.. Don't you?" He grinned, "..Kicho?"

Lightning illuminate the room once more, revealing a beauty of a man, none other than his former man that he had taken in 3 years back. Kicho pulled away, rubbing his cock to catch his breath, "I don't. Like I said few minutes ago, just this once." Kicho opened his mouth again, engulfing into Nobunaga's throbbing cock, taking it deep and down his throat, almost reaching to the back. It is big, and long enough to fill his mouth, and he bob his head, again and again, followed by series of groan and moans.

"You didn't? Even though this is what we always do back then? Getting an inn and having your mouth on my sex? Look at you.. Stretching your mouth desperately on my cock, bobbing your head eagerly.. What a naughty thing you are."

Kicho didn't give a comeback, only to pull away, and suck the tip, making Nobunaga to sigh heavily at it. "And you have gotten good. I have trained you well."

His cock were suck on the side, the sound of delicious slurps can be heard before Kicho lap his tongue on the tip of his cock. "Just cum already. The rain is ending soon, for sur- mmmf--!"

It was shoved deeply into his throat. Kicho almost gag himself when Nobunaga forcefully riding his mouth, groaning once he have reached his climax, filling his throat with thick liquid that he have to swallow immediately. "Haaah.. Nnghh.." The rest of it were sprayed onto his face, and he quivered from the way it trickled all over his mouth and cheeks.

...That was a lot. As always.

The thought makes his legs to squirm slightly. He grit his teeth, memories of the past, their heavy love making swim into his mind that instant. With a grunt, he clean himself and stood, "That's enough, I believe. Be greatful there's no bloodshed today, Nobunaga-"

His hand reach for the door, as his waist were circled from behind, causing his shaking legs to stumble backwards. His obi were swiftly opened, revealing his bare hole to Nobunaga. "You- what are you- ngh--"

There it is. He could feel the same big thing that were moving in and out of his mouth, is now rubbing in between of his ass. "Stop. I only agreed to relief you once. Just once-- Ngh-" He grunted, movement locked, his hole were already spread apart with Nobunaga's cock.

"I haven't said that I'm satisfied. Not yet."

Kicho's silent, and sharp gasp filled the room, each time his hole were spread further and further, until Nobunaga's cock were fully occupied inside. He wanted to get away, helplessly trying to get away, only to shiver uncontrollably because his body already give in to the thing that shaped him on the inside, many times, as per 3 years ago. Whenever he tried, it was pushed inside further, followed by the chuckle from the man behind him.

".....Just.. Just this once.. Make it quick."

----

"Lord Kicho, there you are. I was worried as we get separated last night. And.. You look exhausted. Why didn't you ride your horse?"

Kicho give a glance to his assistant, only to dismiss him with "It's fine. The wet ground make it hard to move for the horse."

"...It will leak out for sure."

"Pardon?"

"..It's nothing. Postpone any meeting with clients today, as I would like to take a rest." Kicho proceed to enter his mansion, almost carefully taking each steps that he could, as if preventing something from trickling down his legs.

---

"Another day, another secret rendezvous night. Though unfortunately it was raining heavily that Hideyoshi almost lose it." Mitsuhide chuckles, crossing his arms with a grin. "Satisfied, My Lord?"

Nobunaga smirks, rolling the konpeito in his fingers. "Worth for this month, as this morning, I continued to eat my luxurious food."

"Congratulations, My Lord." Mitsuhide chuckles, "Well, if we tell Hideyoshi that this is the annual thing you do every month to meet my cousin for your special night, he will end up fainting."

"Let him be." Nobunaga smirks, popping the konpeito in his mouth, anticipating for the next month to come,

...To make his raven beauty to sing for his name again.

[Nobunaga x Kicho] cause everything you heard is true

Fandom: Ikemen Sengoku

Characters: Kichou, Mitsunari, Nobunaga (mentioned)

Pairing: Nobunaga x Kichou (pre-slash)

Warning: crossdressing (reference), Nobunaga's past relationship with a female OC

Part of the Different Universe, Same Love challenge by @xxsycamore and @queengiuliettafirstlady

Day 1 - June 13th - Modern AU | Historical AU (it's the 60s!)

"I suppose that's all you need to know about the tenure. Now, let's take a look at the boy's schedule," Mitsunari paused, quickly glancing her way to see if she was following. "Um, Saitou-san?"

"I'm listening," the woman said, looking at the accountant with hawk-like eyes. Mitsunari wished she'd lower her sunglasses from their perch on her perfectly-coifed hair. Miss Saitou constantly looked like she was a second away from turning him into a stone or devouring him alive.

Mitsunari gulped under the scrutiny and turned his attention back to the timetable on the desk. "So, as you can see, Young Master Nobutada is quite the sportsman, partaking in rugby and kendo after school —not at the same time, definitely. Young Master Nobukatsu is the quieter one. He's part of the science club though he's more adept at taking care of lab rats than actual science-ing —wait, you didn't hear that from me— so they've got quite the busy schedule. I know they should be playing with other kids their age, that's what people often say, but I guess that's how it is with rich families."

"Tell me about it," the woman quipped.

"I beg your pardon?"

"I mean," Saitou smiled perfunctorily. "Despite the rumors, it's obvious that Oda-san thinks about the education of his sons a great deal. He may be a philanderer, but I guess most parents are the same. They want the best for their children, do they not?"

Mitsunari forced a nervous laugh. "I agree."

He could now see why his boss selected Kichou Saitou out of all the candidates to be his sons' private tutor. And not just because of her head-turning looks, either. The 'professional governess' was a statuesque stunner with skin as pale as bisque and midnight-dark hair that gave balance to her (unusually) broad shoulders. It could've perfectly framed her long neck if it weren't for the ivory brand-name vintage scarf wrapped around it. Her dress stopped at a length Mitsunari's folks at home would consider obscene, but that was the ensemble that only the most fashionable young women would walk around Ginza in. The lime dress perfectly accentuated the irresistible cinch of her lean waist, a trait irresistible to men (but especially Master Nobunaga).

"This is quite the timetable. The previous Madam Oda must have gone to great lengths to ensure their boys get to class from home and back. I've heard they're quite the, ahem, restless bunch, especially Young Master Nobutada," Kichou tucked her thick hair behind an ear. "I assume she had a personal assistant to help watch over the boys?"

"I'm afraid that's where you will come in, Saitou-san," Mitsunari smiled somewhat apologetically. "Master Nobunaga wanted someone to watch over the masters round the clock. Maybe not a babysitter, but a private tutor-slash-personal assistant for the boys, if that makes sense?"

And maybe just a companion, if asking for another mother figure is too much, Mitsunari thought. After all, the aftermath of the split was rough to deal with for the young masters, let alone for Master Nobunaga himself.

Saitou didn't seem fazed with all of the information, though. She must have heard about the divorce, too, Mitsunari guessed. It's all over the papers.

"Shall we move on, then?" he offered. "We should be able to wrap this up before lunch."

........

When it was over, Ishida offered Kichou a tall glass of iced tea, fumbling around like a butler instead of the family accountant. Kichou was initially supposed to be meeting with Oda's secretary, a strapping older man named Toyotomi. Kichou begrudgingly accepted the drink, wishing he was back home and taking a long drag on his cigarette. But a job was a job, and he's set to get it done come hell or high water.

At least it was cool out on the patio. Kichou had seen very few houses with private pools instead of the usual koi-pond with cedar trees and an arching lacquered bridge. After all, Oda had always been a rule-breaker —his philandering ways almost as notorious as his entrepreneurial successes. As he'd read from the files, the abode had felt a woman's touch not too long ago, that bimbo Ikuno or Ikoma. Really, Mizusaki was better suited for this mission. She had the long thick hair, the doe-eyes, and the schoolgirl smile that most men would die for. A seemingly sweet, pretty little thing that Oda would easily win over and protect in this fort of a mansion for a very, very long time. And not a challenge he'd stubbornly conquer and lose in a blink.

And still it wasn't enough for Oda to keep Nou around. Kicho frowned, away from view. A lesson learned for her, definitely. But one for him too, by the end of this.

Just then, a (real) butler came in to approach Mitsunari. "Ah, right on cue. Master Nobunaga has just arrived, and he's inviting you to come eat lunch with us, Saitou-san! Shall we?" The accountant called out.

Kichou smirked. Ah, speak of the devil. "Sure," she smiled sweetly, pearly teeth peeking between coral-painted lips.

This house of cards was about to fall down, king and all.

......

Coincidentally, it's also pride month, so....happy belated pride month?

Sorry for the late submission. And I didn't make it long because this was supposed to be a precursor to my bigger 60s AU.

Tagging @weird-konpeito and @ashavazesa

desmond would definitely be the type to accidentally woo the og fm/otome protagonist AND the harem + bg characters. with the ikemen sengoku, it would be funny if desmond’s route is only unlocked after the mc finishes the entire game and gets all the ending cue the twist of video game protagonist! desmond getting isekaied. His bad route is probably going to be desmond sacrificing himself again :/ …. normal route is desmond just booking it and never finding the truth of who he actually was, rip pov outsider.

Let’s add @artduringclasstime’s reply to the previous post

Those four or so years where I played the Ikemen series religiously just came out of the woodwork to smack me in the face. Sasuke renamed himself after a fictional ninja the moment he went back in time, the STARS he'll have in his eyes upon meeting Desmond. ... and I can definitely see Kenshin going after Desmond. Whether it's for a fight or otherwise, even he doesn't know

Desmond had no plans to do such a thing in the first place. He has no idea why the hell any of these was happening to him.

He doesn’t understand that, because he’s an unknown character, whatever system is in place in the world sees him as a ‘player character’ which means… people have easier time to fall in love with him because of his personality.

I like to imagine that Desmond was given a buff in their affection rating like in the normal mode of “Villains are Destined to Die” where the ‘player character’ gets a 30% affinity already to the possible love interests like a “we’re sorry you’re stuck in our world” kind of apology buff from the ‘gods’ of this world.

Of course, that additional affinity is just there to make sure Desmond doesn’t get on the bad sides of the powerful men from the get go and can still go down or up, depending on Desmond’s action.

Sasuke would be the one to talk about Multiverses and such and how Desmond’s existence could mean that they themselves are a work of fiction in a different world.

Desmond is like “yeah, I get what you’re talking about but that’s not really helpful to our current situation?” which would embarrass Sasuke because he got too fired up about it.

So in this one, they sorta know Desmond’s true identity because Sasuke played Assassin’s Creed (for the history) so Sasuke gives them the idea that maybe a POE is also somewhere here since Desmond’s here.

It’s a long shot but it’s a possibility that they can’t just dismiss.

And that is the start of Desmond’s route. Depending on the player’s actions, the player character would later switch to Desmond for the secret BL route! (Which has a harem ending because why not?)

(Kenshin’s route is more on the side of enemies-to-lovers route with Desmond actually getting a headache over how ‘devoted’ to fighting Kenshin is).

His bad ending is them finding the POE and learning that it can be used to bring them back to their proper time and dimension BUT they will come back to it at the exact time they left so Desmond will return to his world only to die from the device ‘again’. He still goes through with it though because he wants to get Mai and Sasuke back to their time and he believes he’s been living in borrowed time. The normal ending, I believe, is Desmond not using the POE and finally leaving everyone with the idea that, if he’s stuck in this world, he’ll build a Brotherhood somewhere he’s more familiar with: Italy. In other words, the normal ending has Desmond alive but alone in a whole other country with no idea what happens to him afterwards.

The part where Desmond books it and no one finds out who he truly is would work as the ‘failed’ event of unlocking Desmond’s route.

To even unlock Desmond’s route, there would be two conditions:

(1) Finished all the endings for each route.

(2) Start a new game and go to a specific event that lets Mai walk in town (this will show up as a new ‘option’ during one of the early parts of the game)

(3) Choose the “Don’t scream” when Mai wakes up one night with a shadow looming above her after the previous event on condition (2).

If all conditions are done, Desmond is unlocked as a possible route but to get to the Desmond’s route, the choices to develop his affection must be chosen.

The condition to change to Desmond as the main character and enter the BL route is to actually develop his affection up to 30% only but keep all affections to other characters at 29% or below before Sasuke appears and tells Mai and Desmond that Desmond is a character from the franchise Assassin’s Creed.

My otome game journey

Note: So, I’ve been thinking lately about my journey from playing otome games and I just wanted to put it out there. Mainly because I was so curious if anyone has done the same thing as me.

Let’s see, I started with Midnight Cinderella, and I remember the first route I ever did was Alyn’s, which was pretty chill. The ending in a way traumatized me because if I remember correctly, he actually went off to war instead of being with you. For Alyn it made sense because he’s a knight and all that but, I didn’t know at that time that sometimes it’s not always a happy ending.

After that I ventured into the world of wizardess hearts, I actually played several routes. Yet, I don’t remember much other than really liking the MC because I thought she looked cute. Yeah, I can't exactly say much about that one…

It was then that I found my forged wedding and started playing a bunch of voltage inc games. I absolutely love my forged wedding, it’s one of the few otome games where I recommended playing everyone’s route. Seeing as I loved my forged wedding, I continued playing a bunch of other games from them all the way to Irristable mistakes.

During that time, I heavily invested several hours into several different game titles and fell in love with many of the suitors. Some shoutouts would be Star crossed myths, My last first kiss, seduced in the sleepless city and many more. Of course, I came to find another game which was not mystic messenger. I actually was not involved in that because I had a sister who was too invested in that. Let’s just say, I didn’t want to wake up late at night because of their game events.

Anyway, I came to invest my time in Mr Love: Queen's Choice, but it was very short lived. Why, because during that time I was too far down the kpop rabbit hole. Even though I was a big kpop fan since 2011, I reached an all-time peak. I still do enjoy kpop now, just not to that level of extreme. When I say extreme, I mean following several groups and watching everything that they had. Anything they appeared in I felt like I needed to watch that, but more on my kpop journey later.

By now it was late 2018 and I rekindled the flame for Mr Love: Queen's Choice but it wasn’t just that. I fell down the rabbit hole of the Chinese media! I grew to love c-dramas and their music. I kid you not I was in a whole different league of my own. So next thing I knew I repeated my kpop trash days but with everything c-pop instead.

Then, for a very brief time period in 2019 I grew to love Thai series because my mother had a liking for Thai BL. Then I went back to watching C-dramas and watched the series called the Untamed with my mother since she really liked the actors.

Finally, we arrive at the year 2020, the pandemic and such made life crazy. I also started to hear about this game called Ikemen sengoku and I was like hey how interesting. However, I was busy and never got back to the game after finishing a couple chapters. Yet, I heard about twisted wonderland, and I became more consistent with that instead. I love twisted wonderland and thought that I should find another game to give my life to.

This is when I finally decided to try ikemen vampire, I thought it was a pretty crazy idea. I was like, did someone drunk come up with this idea because I want what they were drinking. Now, we are in our present timeline.

I have finished over half of the suitors, routes and I’m very happy I did. This game made me fall in love with otome games all over again. However, every now and then I get a craving for something crazy. That’s when I play games from voltage inc. I highly recommend Ikemen vampire for those that like angst.

Aside from ikemen vampire, I tried out ikemen prince and romance MD as well as Her love in the force. Out of those three I just named, I recommend the latter two rather than the first, especially for those who want a breath of fresh air. Well, that’s all for my progress so far, but it’s not the last!

Heart of the Warrior 2 Prologue

Fandom: Ikemen Sengoku (Cybird)

Disclaimer: Characters (other than Haruka for OC reasons) belong to Cybird, not me

Warnings: Blood, slight torture, death

Word Count: 3K

Summary: Just as Thai and Yukimura promised their lives to one another, Mai finally arrived in the Sengoku, prompting both Thai and Sasuke to keep her out of harm’s way until they can safely get her home. However, with the threat of war looming over their heads and loose ends starting to unravel more of his past, Thai is caught in a war on all fronts to keep his life from breaking all over again.

Prologue Blurred figures rushed past him like phantoms in the night. The torrential downpour of rain felt like ice-cold daggers across his skin. The sheer cold of the howling wind froze the blood coursing through his veins. He could barely see three feet past him, no matter how hard he tried to focus. If he remembered correctly, he was next to the Honnoji Memorial Site when a sudden storm brewed just above him. He remembered a bright flash of light. Maybe he was hit by lightning?

"Oh no!" Haruka shuddered.

His left hand bunched up his jacket while his right hand rubbed his eyes fiercely. The blurred figures began to bump into Haruka as they fled past him. Haruka yelped every time he was hit. It felt like he was being hit with massive chunks of metal. He scurried towards what felt like a stone wall, his hand gripping its smooth surface. He began to hear the muffled sounds of screaming and yelling through the rain. He swore he heard loud bangs and metal clanging all around him. Haruka was still blinded by the rain when suddenly he felt something splash him. Haruka gasped. It wasn't the cold rain that pelted him from above. The liquid was warm. His nostrils wrenched at the sickeningly iron-like scent. Fearing the worst, his shaking right hand slowly wiped the liquid from his face. All Haruka could see smeared across his palm was red.

"Bl-blood!?" Haruka gasped, horrified.

A shriek to his left caught his attention. A sudden flash illuminated the immediate area. Haruka whipped his head to the left just in time to see a figure shriek again and fall to the ground. Haruka quickly ran over to the figure, gasping at the gruesome sight at his feet.

It was a man dressed in old samurai armor. He didn't move, his hands clutching a hole in his breastplate. Haruka couldn't believe it. As the rain died down, the screams and yelling grew louder. Haruka looked around, finding himself between what looked like stone walls and wooden gates. The darkened sky glowed with the light of the raging fire past the walls. Men in armor clashed blades with one another. Arrows began to whizz past his head, forcing him to quickly duck under an overturned piece of debris. Shadows of samurai fighting and killing one another danced around the walls.

Haruka covered his ears and shut his eyes as he curled himself into a ball. What the hell was happening? First, he was returning home from visiting the cemetery, and now, he was stuck in a chaotic samurai war like the ones he watched on TV!

"Oi!"

Haruka opened his eyes, suddenly recoiling in fear. In front of him, blocking the raging light of the fire, was a massive samurai warrior. Covered head-to-toe in blue and black armor, it was the massive gold crescent moon adorned on his helmet that caught Haruka's attention. Beneath the helmet and illuminated by the glow of the nearby fire, a lone blue eye glared at him. The warrior's right eye was covered by a dark patch, the warrior's face eerily striking a familiar name within Haruka's mind. Yet, before he could come to any conclusion, his eyes were directed towards the pair of blood-stained swords the warrior held within his grasp. Haruka shuddered as the samurai stepped closer to him.

"Cowering from the fight?" growled the prominent samurai. "Don't tell me that the Ashina are hiring lowlifes to do their bidding!"

"Wh-what!?" Haruka cowered further away.

His eyes widened as the samurai rose his sword. Haruka instinctively jumped out of the incoming blade's way, barely dodging a strike that would indeed have decapitated him. Haruka screamed as the samurai charged at him. Haruka dove out of the way of another slash, nearly scraping his knee as he stood back up.

As he scrambled to his feet, he suddenly tripped over something. He fell to the ground, seeing the body of a dead samurai just under him. However, Haruka had no time to scream as he heard the samurai roar out to him. Thinking fast, his instincts forced his hands to grab the nearest object—the fallen samurai's sword—and draw it, quickly intercepting the maddened one-eyed samurai's swords. Haruka shouted as the samurai bore down at him, their edges mere inches away from his face.

Knowing that the samurai was far stronger than him, Haruka was forced to roll out of the way, narrowly dodging death once more. But, the fight was far from over as more samurai started to notice the fear-stricken Haruka. Haruka, barely registering what was happening, quickly deflected an incoming strike from another samurai. Instinct kicked in as he began to shakily fend off multiple attackers. His hands gripped his new sword tighter as he quickly moved around his opponents, his blade deflecting and parrying his attackers' blades. Haruka knew he was no match for these fearsome warriors of old, instead desperately looking for a way to escape.

Adrenaline coursing through his veins, Haruka fought off his attackers with everything he had. He pushed off one samurai before engaging with another. He quickly parried his attacker's sword before quickly striking downwards at the samurai's helmet. The blow wasn't enough to kill him, but it was powerful enough to send the man sprawling to the ground. Haruka ducked under a sword from a third attacker. He quickly locked swords with his attacker before hooking his leg around his attacker's leg. Haruka tripped the samurai, rolling downwards with him before effortlessly rolling onto his feet. He saw an opening to escape, quickly disengaging from the fight to make a break for it. There were only two others in front of him, Haruka already planning his counterattack.

He deflected one samurai's blade before the one-eyed samurai quickly jumped in and knocked Haruka's sword out of his hand with one blow. Before Haruka could recover, the samurai slashed at him. Haruka screamed in pain, blood spraying from his left cheek. Luckily, he turned his head away in time before the sword could cut him deeper, yet Haruka was thrown onto the ground in pain. Before the samurai could finish him off, Haruka's hands frantically grabbed a fallen banner. Haruka shrieked as he thrust the banner at the incoming samurai. The one-eyed madman roared in pain as he was sent flying back.

Haruka quickly stumbled back up, now surrounded by other samurai. His escape was cut off as half a dozen samurai began to bear down on him. "Shit! SHIT!!" Haruka swore as he desperately waved his new weapon around in a panicked frenzy. "PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

The samurai, with their swords drawn, cautiously circled the frantic Haruka. Haruka's heart raced, breathing fiercely and heavily as he tiredly fended off his would-be murderers. Death became closer with every inch the samurai advanced. He kept spinning the banner so frantically that he failed to see the one-eyed samurai ambush and kick him down to his belly. Haruka screamed in pain as he dropped onto the hard ground.

"Heh!" grunted the one-eyed samurai. "You managed to knock me off my feet. I'm impressed!"

Haruka could feel the fear inside him forcing tears out of his eyes. Haruka groveled on the ground as his eyes soon caught sight of the samurai's blade looming above him. Haruka yelped.

"Wait! PLEASE DON'T!" Haruka desperately pleaded.

Instinct shifted from fight to survive as he quickly began to bow to the samurai. Fresh tears flowed from his eyes as Haruka started to sob, constantly bowing at the samurai to the point where he was nearly head-butting the gravel-lined ground. "I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING! PLEASE, SIR! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

"Huh?" gawked the one-eyed samurai. Suddenly, Haruka heard the scampering of feet running towards the samurai between his tears and sobs.

"Lord Masamune," someone called out. "The enemy is fleeing the castle! Should we pursue them?"

"Masa...mune?" Haruka breathed.

The familiar name made Haruka slowly look back up. He barely got a glimpse at the taller man before the samurai looked back down, making Haruka quickly look back down onto the ground.

"Hmph." The one-eyed samurai snorted. "No. Capture any survivors. Kill anyone attempting to flee."

"Yes, my lord!" roared the surrounding samurai.

The one-eyed samurai, Masamune, peered back down at Haruka, the latter still groveling pitifully at his feet. Haruka awaited Masamune's blade to strike him down. He shut his eyes, waiting to feel the razor-sharp steel blade cut down at his neck. Haruka shrieked as Masamune's sword plunged into the earth just inches away from his face.

"Oi!" Masamune growled. "Get. Up!"

Haruka sniffed back the tears, cautiously stumbling back up onto his feet.

He knew he couldn't run—he tried that.

He couldn't fight again—he tried that, and he nearly got killed.

All he could do was hand his fate over to the samurai in front of him. His mind began to race, wondering how he got here just from walking back to his home from the cemetery. How and why was he in the middle of a period drama-turned nightmare!?

Masamune carefully scanned Haruka's odd appearance. He snorted, suddenly tearing his sword from the ground and pointing it at Haruka's throat. Haruka flinched in response, paralyzed in place by fear and shutting his eyes. He dared not breathe, the tip of Masamune's sword growing closer to the bulge in his throat.

"Hmph!" Masamune muttered. "You look...odd."

"P-please, sir," Haruka begged softly. "J-just...I don't..."

Haruka did not know what to say. Was all of this a dream? Was he going to wake up from this nightmare? But it all felt so real. His cut cheek stung like fire as it continued to bleed down his jaw.

"Who are you?" Masamune growled.

Haruka gulped, feeling the tip of Masamune's sword press against his throat.

"I-I'm Ha-Haruka Kuros-sawa," Haruka muttered.

"Haruka," repeated Masamune. "Consider yourself lucky tonight, Haruka Kurosawa!"

The sword dropped from his neck. Haruka let out a breath he never knew he held. He nearly threw up before he felt two men grab his arms on either side, forcefully kicking him down to his knees. Haruka shrieked in pain but was again met with the paralyzing stare of Masamune's single blue eye. Haruka gulped as Masamune gripped Haruka's chin with his calloused fingers, forcing the frightened man's gaze at him. Fear gripped Haruka again, unable to look away from the devilish gaze plastered on Masamune's war-like face.

"I don't know who you are, Haruka Kurosawa," Masamune said, saying Haruka's name as if venom dripped with each syllable. "But, I'll get the time to know you."

Masamune raised himself back up to his men. With a flick of his wrist, his men forcefully brought Haruka back up to his feet before dragging him away. Haruka could barely breathe; his eyes slowly shut as he fell unconscious. ======================

If it was a dream—or, instead, a nightmare—he would have woken up by now. Yet, no matter how often Haruka fell unconscious and woke back up again, he kept finding himself inside a small wooden cage. His arms were bound behind his back. He was forced to sit on his knees for what felt like days. He couldn't even stand up even if he wanted to; his head nearly hit the wooden top of the cage. His captors were at least kind enough to bandage his wounded cheek.

His cage was situated amongst other prisoners of war outside the castle walls, close to where Haruka had found himself during that fateful night. Most prisoners were on the verge of dying, their agonizing groans echoing inside his skull. Everyone, including Haruka, was starving and thirsty. They were only given enough water to sate their immediate thirst but were left to rot inside their cages for what seemed like days.

Haruka's head throbbed. His throat was dry, and each breath he took only temporarily soothed him. Was this that one samurai's plan? To make him suffer until he died? His head drooped, his eyes slowly fluttering closed.

Masamune...he had heard that name before. The eyepatch and that crescent moon adorned on his helmet were also familiar, but where did he see that before? A loud clanging on the wood awoke Haruka. He took in a sharp inhale, his eyes darting around. He was still inside the cage, but he noticed that he was asleep longer than he realized. It was daytime when he fell unconscious for the fourteenth time, but now it was dusk.

Haruka craned his neck up to see the one-eyed samurai from before finally standing in front of him.

"...I know you," Haruka grunted, his voice raspy.

"Heh!" Masamune guffawed in amusement. "You know me?" Haruka shook his head.

"W-well, I've heard of you," he groaned. "The One-Eyed Dragon, the Lord of Oshu, Masamune Date. One of the most ferocious warriors Japan has ever known..."

How ironic it must be, Haruka thought as his head drooped again, for his idol from the Past to be the one to kill him.

"Flattery will get you nowhere," Masamune growled. His eyebrow raised as he continued to observe Haruka. "Crying again?"

"Huh?" Haruka could feel warm tears start to trickle down his cheeks. He scoffed lightly, realizing he was crying again. "I-I didn't notice."

Masamune continued to stare silently at Haruka, who hid his face behind his bangs. "...you're Japanese," Masamune said. "But, you don't look like you're from around here."

Haruka sniffed back his tears as he noted his own clothing. He was still dressed in his modern-day clothes—a white t-shirt, light blue denim shirt, black hoodie jacket, dark grey trousers, and sneakers. His clothes were drenched in blood and dirt with some tears from dealing with the samurai. He looked back up at Masamune, seeing the battle-scarred dark blue and black armor Masamune was dressed in.

"Masa—Lord," Haruka corrected himself. "Lord Masamune, can I ask you a question, please?"

"Go on, lad," Masamune said.

Haruka cleared his throat. "Uh...what...what year is it?"

Masamune scoffed. He squatted down, trying to catch a glimpse of Haruka's amber eyes through his dark bangs.

"Oi, did you hit your head too hard? You don't know what year it is?" Masamune gawked. Haruka merely glared back at Masamune. The latter shrugged, deciding to entertain Haruka's question. "1580."

Haruka's eyes widened. "Fifteen eighty!" he gasped.

Masamune chuckled. "You are a weird guy, aren't ya'?"

Haruka sighed. He did not want to believe it but he slowly began to realize that he was not dreaming. He somehow found himself in the Past. His eyes shut as he wallowed in utter disbelief until he felt something insert itself between the hair covering his eyes.

He quickly opened his eyes to see Masamune's finger brushing his bangs aside. Both men finally got a good look at each other. Haruka felt a tightness in his chest as he stared at Masamune's face, unable to look away. He was younger than many of his favorite dramas' depictions. Masamune flashed a crescent smile at him, his eerily hypnotic glowing blue eye gazing directly at his own eyes.

"There we go," Masamune mused. "Now I have a better look at you, lad." Haruka huffed, turning his face away, much to Masamune's dismay.

"...are you going to kill me now?" Haruka muttered under his breath.

"I've thought about it," Masamune admitted, a devilish grin perking between his lips. "For a weirdo, you look like you know how to fight. Who was your master?"

Haruka looked back at Masamune. "I-I...don't have one," Haruka coughed up.

Masamune scrunched his brow in confusion. "You don't have one? Then, what were you doing here if not defending the castle? Are you telling me you aren't in service of the Ashina Clan?"

Haruka shook his head. "You might not believe this, but...I'm not from here," Haruka explained. "I'm not even from this time! I'm from 500 years in the future."

Masamune guffawed. "That's quite a story, lad. You're telling me that you're a visitor from 500 years in the future?"Haruka nodded. "Interesting," Masamune said with a grin. "Very interesting, indeed..."

Masamune suddenly rose to his feet. Haruka sighed, knowing that the One-Eyed Dragon of Oshu didn't believe him. Haruka closed his eyes, thinking that Masamune was going to walk away, but suddenly heard the samurai draw his sword.

Haruka's eyes shot wide open when he heard Masamune's sword cut effortlessly across the wooden cage bars. Before he could react, Masamune grabbed Haruka's lapel and yanked the younger man out of the cage. Haruka yelped as Masamune dragged him towards a nearby wall, shoving him against its stone surface. He was suddenly back to seeing Masamune's sword pointing at his throat. He tried to press himself against the wall, but the sword only drew closer.

"W-wait!" Haruka breathed.

"Okay," Masamune snarled. "Now, tell me the truth. Who. Are. You?"

Haruka held his hands up. "I-I told you," Haruka said, fear awakening his weakened body. "I swear! L-look, I have proof! Check my pockets!"

Masamune scoffed as he pressed the edge of his blade against Haruka's collar, his other hand patting down the side of his trousers. Haruka gasped as Masamune glared back at him.

"Forgetting something, lad?" Masamune asked. "There's nothing there."

Haruka felt helpless as he stared at the sword in front of him. He finally remembered that in his haste to visit an old friend, he must have forgotten his phone and wallet.

"I-I swear, Lord Masamune," Haruka begged. "I truly am from 500 years in the future." Masamune merely kept his sword and grin directed at Haruka, his single blue eye studying Haruka for a moment. Haruka sighed, shutting his eyes and waiting for Masamune to slice through him. Masamune erupted into laughter as he pulled his sword away, flawlessly twirling it back into its sheath. Haruka slowly opened one eye and looked at Masamune.

"Well then," Masamune chuckled, a grin forming between his lips. "Welcome to Japan of the Past, Haruka Kurosawa."

Haruka stared in awe at Masamune. "Y-you believe me?"

"Not really," Masamune admitted. "But, I do believe you're not from here."

"Y-you..." Haruka grimaced. "You were going to kill me."

"I was, but then, you told me the truth," Masamune said. "Anyone will tell the truth when a blade is at their throat."

Haruka gulped. "S-so, what now?" he asked before erupting into a frightened yelp when Masamune's heavy hand grabbed his shoulder and twirled him around. With one tug, Masamune unbound Haruka's hands before twirling him back around and throwing his arm around his shoulders. The One-Eyed Dragon chuckled as he brought the paralyzed Haruka closer.

"Where did you learn how to fight like that?" Masamune asked.

"H-huh?"

"I saw you back there," Masamune gleefully said. "You were pretty fast on your feet, and your swordplay isn't half bad. Any villager with a sword would be cut down instantly by my men, but you survived."

"Oh," Haruka murmured, remembering the events of that night. A minute ago, Masamune was going to kill him. Now, he was acting all buddy-buddy with him? His head was rattled, but he thought it would be best to answer him before Masamune changed his mind about not killing him. "W-well...I learned how to use a sword for a few years from my father, but then I stopped."

Masamune’s brow creased, pulling Haruka face-to-face. "You stopped? Did your father die?" Masamune asked in bewilderment.

"N-no!" Haruka answered. "He's very much alive! (I think? How does time travel work?) But, it was a long time ago, and...we parted ways."

"Parted ways?" Masamune slowly repeated. Haruka suddenly fell silent. He became pale, his eyes drooping. Masamune noticed his legs begin to wobble. Instinctively, he grabbed Haruka before he nearly fell.

"Whoa!" Masamune grunted, "Looks like I left you in that cage for too long."

Haruka groaned, his hands holding onto Masamune. "Urgh...my head."

His body began to give up on him. Days of hunger and thirst finally caught up to Haruka as the adrenaline in his body began to wear down. Masamune lifted Haruka up, throwing his arm over his shoulders.

"Okay, lad," Masamune said. "Let's get you fixed up."

"You...you're not going to kill me?" Haruka softly breathed. "Nope," Masamune answered, giving off a grin to Haruka. "You're a very interesting lad. I have an idea, but first, let's make sure you survive."
