Chapter 4

 

Mitsuhide and Nohime walked onto the training field and went to a private field where they wouldn't be distracted.

 

“Would you like to practice before we battle my Lady?”

 

Nohime turned to look up at Mitsuhide, “What did I say to call me Lord Mitsuhide?” He chuckled, “Forgive my... Nohime.” Nohime laughed, “I do not need practice Lord Mitsuhide, I am well versed with my weapon.”

 

Mitsuhide frowned, “Where is your weapon by the way,” he gripped the hilt of his sword where it rested in its sheath at his hip.

 

Nohime grinned, “You shall see Lord Mitsuhide, you shall see.” Mitsuhide gave her a quizzical look and then shrugged, “Alright then Nohime, take your place and let me have a taste of your prowess.” His voice hissed on the word `prowess' and it made Nohime shiver.

 

She recovered with a battle taunt of her own, “Are you sure want to get,” she flung out her arms and Delicious Venom made a hissing, slicing sound of metal on metal as it appeared from inside her sleeves, “this close to me?”

 

Mitsuhide's eyes narrowed approvingly, “My, my Lady Nohime. You are as deadly as you are innocent looking.” Nohime laughed, “And even more so than you know.” Her weapons retracted as she rushed at him, making the first move.

 

When she was half way to Mitsuhide she jumped and flipped into the air. Her weapons flung back out and she sliced his armored chest, but not inuring him.

 

“Going easy on me?” Nohime smiled evilly, “Well if you want a real battle, with the chance of new battle scars, you should have told me.”

 

Mitsuhide laughed, “I don't think we should injure each other. It would not be wise.”

 

“I agree,” she did a series of front flips that hit Mitsuhide in the chest, pushing him back. Then she swung out her arms the claws shot out and sent him into the air. He rebounded and flipped. He landed on one knee then got to his feet. He crouched low and drew his sword, Gilded Talon, and ran at Nohime.

 

He gave a quick forward slash that caught her off guard. She fell to the ground and kicked her feet under Mitsuhide, knocking him to the ground as well. Mitsuhide jumped up simultaneously with Nohime. On his descent he turned in midair and cut Nohime down again. She made an `uff'ing sound as she hit the ground.

 

Nohime got up and did two more front flips then something Mitsuhide had never seen before. She turned as if she were dancing. Her arms were out wide and her claws ready to strike. She turned and turned and turned. He was so busy just watching her `dance' he didn't notice until it was to late. Her claws sliced him again, this time with the force of her many turns. It hurdled him into the air and back at least ten feet.

 

Nohime giggled sexily and winked at him when he looked up from his sitting position on the ground. Mitsuhide chuckled, “Never have I seen something like that before. Well done. You distracted and conquered,” Mitsuhide stood up and ran at her again, he delivered six slashes to her then crouched and did a jump/turn of his own. This move threw Nohime into the air and back twenty feet.

 

Mitsuhide sheathed his sword as Nohime got up, “Very nice Lord Mitsuhide. That was exquisite,” Mitsuhide smiled and walked over to her. He helped her off the ground, “Glad you enjoyed yourself.”

 

“I'd say we are evenly matched, what say you Mitsuhide?”

 

“I agree. I was not expecting that weapon to hurt as much as it did. I will not underestimate you again.” Nohime smirked, “You were also much better than the rumors stated. I will not underestimate you either.”

 

Mitsuhide offered his arm, “Shall I escort you back to your room? If you are tired I mean.”

 

“I would like that Lord Mitsuhide.”

 

“Where you told that there is a feast tonight in your honor?”

 

“Yes I was, I had almost forgotten in all this fun,” they laughed on their way out of the training field.

“Lord Nobunaga, are you aware that my daughter and one of your retainers are leaving one of the private fields?”

 

“Ah, yes. Mitsuhide had told me that Nohime had requested a mock battle with him.”

 

“Are you sure he can be trusted with my daughter?”

 

“Yorshikaga, how dare you accuse him of such a thing. Mitsuhide is my most trusted retainer and friend. I would give my life for him and he would do the same for me.”

 

“As you say Lord Nobunaga.”

 

“Trust me on this Yorshikaga. Mitsuhide has not even looked at another woman in a lustful way. Let alone a romantic way. Mitsuhide still is in love with his late wife. Although I never met her myself, Gracia, Mitsuhide's daughter, has told me much about her. Mitsuhide doesn't talk about her. Even now, after eight years, her death is still to much for him.”

 

“I wasn't aware that he had any children. But I will trust your judgment on him. I just fear for my daughter. We all know how easily women can be manipulated.”

 

“I do not think your daughter is one that could be overcome so easily. I could tell by her face and movements that she will not easily give her heart or body to anyone. I may get her body as her husband. But I would have her heart as well. I will have to work for that, I know. But that will be fun. Her heart and all of Japan, is what I desire.”
