Two days had past since taking down the Kaminari Samurai camp, the result was a flawless victory for the Iguro clan with the help of Tatsuya and the rest of the Division 8. Without wasting much time, Division 8 and the Iguro clan pressed deeper into the Harima province entering the borders of Kaminari and Otouri Clan, and Harima and Iga Province. That is Mt Tencho
"So this is Mt Tencho? Funny enough I haven't been here" Ryujin looks huge mountain infront of him and looking behind and side ways was the vast plain land stretching as far as the eyes can see.
"I have to say, the land here is quite outstanding" Yasushi chuckles
"How can you tell Yasushi-san, I thought you are blind?" Ineyo asks.
"Don't underestimate a blind man's sense of smell, hearing and feeling" He chuckles again but this type in a creepy way
"Ehh...you are right" Ineyo laughs awkwardly
"Alright that's enough sight seeing, let's head deep into the mountains to take cover" Ryujin orders and the 400 men including Division 8 followed him
"Neh...Ineyo-chan why don't you go talk to him, he's been down for 2 days straight, and nobody knows what happened to him" Hamawari Whispers to Ineyo. Ineyo hesitates for a second before gathering her the mental strength to go approach him.
Tatsuya wore a piece of cloth covering his entire face down to his legs, he wore that cloth for 2 days straight with no form socialising what so ever.
"Tatsuya-kun...?" Ineyo called out to him and behold his dull bloodshot blue eyes with heavy bags beneath it stare at Ineyo, it frightened her to the very core, bead of sweats formed up all over her face, she became word short, but yet she conquered it and still spoke.
"You haven't been eaten well lately, when we take a break, I'll feed you nice and slowly alright?" Ineyo tries to cheer him up but he just stared at her for some seconds and looked away.
This continued for some hours before they arrived at a satisfactory place to make a camp. After some minutes, the camp were set, as usual Tatsuya went to his saperate camp to hide from humans and unwanted discussing, hut Ineyo didn't give him that chance. Immediately food was ready Ineyo brought his share to his tent and sat him to feed him like a baby.
"Now open your mouth..~Ahhmm~"
Tatsuya complied and opened his mouth and recieved the food.
After some time of eating Tatsuya decided to go back to airplane mode.
But Ineyo didn't quit, she pushed forward
"So Tatsuya, tell me why are you so down and depressed what happened that night?Tell me everything, I'll listen to you" She said. Tatsuya just kept quiet
"If you don't want too then I'll..."
*Sob *Sob
Ineyo heard a Sob cutting her sentence short, She immediately stretches out to him
"Tatsuya-kun I didn't mean to make you..."
"Why?..."
"Huh?"
" I said why?!!! Why me?!! why do i have to live this fucked up life, why me?" Tatsuya barks furiously as he wept
"Calm Tatsuya-kun, Crying won't solve anythi...."
"I've lost everything and everyone since I was born, I have nothing, I've got no one, I'm alone...."
Tatsuya furiously jumps up in rage, but still under his cloak
"...Baka" Ineyo says
"Huh..?"
"Baka! Baka!! Baka!!!" Ineyo was really pissed right now, she was really pissed she wanted to cry but held it in and ran out of the tent.
"...Ineyo-chan??"
She stomps on the ground furiously raging as she enters into the ladies tent
"How did it go..." Himawari sees the raging Ineyo's face
"Baka! Baka!! Baka!!!" Ineyo answered her question
"Tatsuya, is seriously annoying sometimes argghh" She bits the futon to ease her rage
"Calm down Ineyo-chan" Himawari tries to calm her down and surprisingly it worked.
"I know Tatsuya has lost so many family, friends, and many more, but still to say he has nothing, its just to selfish and painful, it hurts" Ineyo cries
"I know how you feel Ineyo-chan, but you have to understand Junior-kun's feelings too, it must be really bad for him to, understanding is one of the skills of becoming a great wife" Himawari winks at her. The imagination of becoming Tatsuya's wife made her pure red.
"I got everything you said Himawari senpai" Ineyo cheers up. Himawari smirks.
Later that day In the evening, Ryujin decided to go into Kaminari Clan to take a look for himself.
"Yasushi and Ineyo, You will follow me, Himawari watch over our baby boy, okay??" Ryujin says and turns to Yasushi and Ineyo, using a piece of cloth as a hood to cover his identity.
"We are well know, so we shall stay close to each other"
"Yes Captain" They both respond
"Well then, take care, we will be back by tomorrow morning" The three of them depart.
"Take care!!" Himawari waves her hands.
"Now then, where is our baby boy" Himawari heads over to his tents. After some minutes of going deep into the mountains she arrives at Tatsuya's tent
"Tatsuya-kun!! I'm coming in, so you better dress up, I don't want to end up seeing Ineyo's precious jewelleries" She didn't get any response, so she slid the tent open and was welcomed to an empty room.
"Haa??" Where did he wander off to now" She causes and began to look for Tatsuya
Meanwhile Tatsuya was just taking a walk round the forest, he wanted to clear his head for a while. everything has been happening slow but yet fast. As he walked past the Samurais they all trembled in fear, unlike the Kaminari Samurai who witnessed his onslaught and died, they witnessed it and were alive to tell his tale.
"kekeke, what a nice piece"
"A true merchandise"
A group of Samurais about to assault a young girl probably in her teens, she was all messed up and dirty, her cloths were torn partially done by the Samurais and partially seem like that, she had bruises all over her body, as the samurais tore through her cloths she couldn't do anything what so ever to resist them, she just looked at them with a numb expression and allow them to have their away.
Tatsuya saw this and pay no heed to their activity
"Um...please can you tell me where am I and what are you planning on doing with me" The girls asked. Her question got Tatsuya's attention. Tatsuya stopped and changed his direction heading towards them.
The Samurai noticed him and cheerfully urged him to join them in their sports activity
"Oii, shinobi-san I see you are also interested, well come join us you are more than welcome" One of the Samurais said to him. But Tatsuya ignored him and focuses on the one shredding her cloths
"Stop..." Tatsuya says with a cold glint on his eyes, the samurai shivered for a while, but yet joked about it and continued having his way and grooping her chest
"W-What do you me-mean shinobi-san, just take a look isn't she a pure merchandise....hareee"
*thud *thud
The head of the Samurai fellow falls on the floor and spins before coming to a stop. blood spews all over the place staining the girl and his mates.
"I was kind enough to give you two warning signs"
Tatsuya said to them and carried the girl up to his shoulder
"Screw that, you only told us to stop, once you were not even that serious" The Samurai fellow brags with him
"You noticing me was the first warning, if I had wanted to kill you, it would take at least 2 minutes before you noticed that you are dead" Tatsuya said
"Tck, What if she was an enemy spy" The Samurai asked
"Then I'll kill her immediately i see any little details"
Tatsuya said and carried the girl and left the place heading back to his tent
As he approached his tent he drops her on the floor and called for a Samurai
"Get me water" He said to the Samurai
"But Shinobi-san...."
"I'll give you 3 minutes" He said to the Shinobi, the unlucky fellow had no choice but to run the errand.
After waiting for a whole 5 minutes the shinobi got back with a wooden bucket full of water
"Here it is Shinobi-san" He drops the bucket of water ' I hope he doesn't notice I wasted time'
Tatsuya just carried the water and washes off the blood stain, dirt, and bruises of wounds. The Samurai seeing Tatsuya busy decided to leave
"I am not done with you yet" The Samurai stopped at a spot as cold sweat broke down through his spin
"You wasted 2 minutes..." Tatsuya said. At this moment the Samurai gave up hope on anything called living
"Go get food, and I'll let it slide"
"Yes sir!!!" The Samurai shouts and departs
After some minutes of feeding and eating, the young girl was back with full strength but not her memories
"So what's is you name" Tatsuya asks her
"Hmmm...." She swings her side ways like a baby
"I don't know" She says
"Can you remember what you were doing here"
"I don't, and why are you insisting on knowing who I am" The girl falls down and roll herself on the floor messing up her cloth and body once. Now the Samurai who suffered to get the water was extremely pissed
'Oi oi oi, I faces a life threatening challenge for you dammit'
"Ohh...? Junior-kun this is where you are" Himawari joins the group
"Ehhh, who is she...?"
*gasp
"Don't tell me...Junior-kun since when did you turn into a player" Himawari stare at Tatsuya in disgust
"That's not the case Senpai" Tatsuya points at her
"She was found here by some Samurais and the first thing that came to their minds was to satisfy themselves, and proving their act worthy buy saying she was an enemy spy" Tatsuya summarised everything
"Ohhh, I knew you where not a player, That's my Junior-kun" Hamawari cheers
"That's That for now, let me go and get a change of cloths for her" Tatsuya stands up to leave
"Let me do it sir!" The Samurai says
"Don't worry, you must be tired from the once I've sent you go get some rest, let me handle this" And Tatsuya left
After some minutes getting to an hour, it was now evening Tatsuya comes back and sees only Himawari and The Samurai staring at the camp fire heating up some food
"Where is she?" Tatsuya asks with the pair of cloths in his hands
"Apparently someone who seemed to be her partner came her, he knew her name and her age and many more" The Samurai summarised
"Excatly!!" Himawari shouts
"And how are you sure that he wasn't fake"
"Apparently..." Himawari places her hand on the Samurais chest
"Let me take it from here" She said and coughed
"He came and called her name like a charming Prince on a white horse, although her memories were lost, her emotions still remained, they both held hands and journeyed far away with the white horse" Ineyo says like a narrator
"So the partner came back, what did he look like?" Tatsuya asked once more
"Fufufu, I see you want me to give you some more descriptions" Ineyo smiles evilly
"I wasn't talking to you"
"Well he got this mixture of red and orange hair" The Samurai answered
"Did he say his name?"
"Hmm.... nope I don't think so"
"Oh. is that so, then that's good for her then
