Sengoku BASARA: Tensions Rising [DarkMudkip/Jikkah]

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime blushed softly and winced when she accidentally missed a note, "Kuso..."

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura looked over his shoulder at the troubled Akihime, stopping in mid swing. "Akihime-dono?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime looked up and blushed, "G-Gomen...! I-I hit the wrong note..." She said, embarrassed. She went back to playing, blushing more heavily

 

[Jikkah]

"N-No..! Your music is quite lovely! I didn't mean to disrespect you..!" He said and bowed lowly to her.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Disrespect? You didn't disrespect me, Sanada-san...!" She assured, "I-I'm just embarrassed..."

 

[Jikkah]

"Don't be embarrassed...!" Yukimura said and moved over, wiping sweat off of his forehead. "Would you like to join me in practice?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime blinked, "O-Oh, of course...!" She set her shamisen aside and stood, grabbing her tessen

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura smiled and moved back into the courtyard, returning to practice.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime became flustered, she felt all shy with Yukimura there to watch her practice. She gripped her tessen, trembling slightly

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura was completely oblivious to Akihime trembling, his mind set on his training.

 

[DarkMudkip]

She took a breath and snapped open her fan, the cloth making a loud and deep repeatative snapping sound. She closed her eyes and focused, movig slowly and fluidly with a defensive stance

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura stopped to watch Akihime for a moment, staring in awe at her movements.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime moved slowly and elegantly, as if preforming a dance instead of defensive stances

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura felt his cheeks heat up and he looked away, but looked back, his heart fluttering unexplanibly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime's movements soon picked up as she started moving into more offensive stances

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura continued to train, a faint blush on his cheeks as he did so, glancing at Akihime every so often.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime was lost in her practice, so immersed that she believed she was actually fighting

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura noticed that the sun was starting to go down and he slowly came to a stop with his training, letting out a breath and turning to Akihime. "Akihime-dono, should we head inside?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Huh?" Akihime stopped and looked, "Oh! Yes, of course!"

 

[Jikkah]

Yukimura nodded, moving aside and motioning for her to go ahead of him.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Akihime smiled and stepped inside, "I'll prepare us some tea..."

 

[Jikkah]

"Akihime-dono, you don't have too..!" Yukimura protested, sliding the door closed behind him.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Huh? But, Sanada-san, I insist...!" She said

 

[Jikkah]

"I would not like to put too much trouble on you." Yukimura said bashfully.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Oh, making tea isn't that difficult...! I made tea for Otou-sama and Mitsunari-sama all the time!" "Are you saying that Akihime-dono can't even make a simple cup of tea, Master?" Sasuke asked, throwing Yukimura under the bus
