Sengoku BASARA: Tensions Rising [DarkMudkip/Jikkah]

[Jikkah]

"Otou-sama, he passed the test, I am to be his wife." Irohahime said, holding the rosary cross that hung around her neck.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Masamune made a noise, "Now he has to pass my tests." "Suman?" "Masamune-sama?" Kojurou and Koji both looked confused

 

[Jikkah]

Irohahime blinked. "Nani..!?" She looked nervous. "Otou-sama, what kind of tests?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Sure, he can defeat you, but can he best me and your mother?" "Did Megohime-dono agree to this?" Kojurou muttered

 

[Jikkah]

"Of course I agreed to it, she is my only daughter after all, her husband better be more than capable of defending her." Megohime said, approaching them.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Koji felt nervous, "Very well." He said, "If that's what it takes."

 

[Jikkah]

Irohahime frowned and moved out of the way, going to sit on the porch. Megohime drew her sword and took a stance. "Ready?" She asked her husband.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Masamune smirked and unsheathed his katana, Koji taking a breath before doing the same, "Put your guns on!" Masamune stated, excited for a fight

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime stuck first, attacking his right side with a quick slash before swinging upwards, then jumping back to let Masamune attack.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Koji deflected her swing and narrowly dodged Masamune's strike

 

[Jikkah]

While Koji was busy deflecting Masamune's attack, she swung low, moving in sync with her husband.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Koji gasped and fell back, grunting in slight pain, "Itai." "That's it?" Masamune looked disappointed

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime sheathed her blade and smirked softly at her husbands disappointment. "Give him some slack, he did take on the One Eyed Dragon and his Hag without backing down. I think he has my blessing."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"A-Arigatou..." Koji said. Masamune made a noise, "One screw up and I'm calling it off."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime nodded, nudging Masamune. "Come, I'll make some tea and you can watch me drink it." She said, heading back into the house. Irohahime sat beside Kojurou, looking down at her hands, stomach doing flips. "Kojurou." She whispered. "I-I can't do this.."

 

[DarkMudkip]

Masamune chuckled and followed her. Kojurou looked to Irohahime, "Can't do what?"

 

[Jikkah]

"This marriage." She replied, gripping her rosary tightly. "I... I have to go." She stood quickly and hurried to her room.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Irohahime-dono!" Kojurou called. Koji watched her run off for a brief moment before giving chase

 

[Jikkah]

Irohahime sat in her room, wiping her eyes on her sleeve, sniffling softly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

There was a gentle knock on her door, "Irohahime-dono?" Koji asked gently

 

[Jikkah]

Irohahime stiffened, then turned to face the door. "I'm fine... I-I just need to rest for a while."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Very well...I'll be returning to my home to inform my father of our marriage. I'll return in a few days." He informed her gently

 

[Jikkah]

There was silence before the door opened, Irohahime standing there with tears in her eyes. "I wish you a safe travel, Koji-sama."

 

[DarkMudkip]

Koji frowned and gently touched her cheek, "Why areyou crying...?"

 

[Jikkah]

Irohahime quickly rubbed her tears away. "I'm not crying." She murmured, staring at his feet.
