Destiny Ninja: Hyosuke

Kurodayu Memories

Yoshitsune: "Why didn't your reinforcements arrive?"

Kajiwara: "Dear me, why indeed? The reinforcements did certainly depart. I expect towards Yashima..."

Yoshitsune: "And so I ask again, why didn't they arrive?"

Kajiwara: "Perhaps because the terrain was strange and they could not make their way?"

Yoshitsune: "They got... lost?!"

Kajiwara: "That's right. These are Taira lands. We Minamoto are not familiar with them."

Kurodayu was not normally aggressive, but when we saw Kajiwara we both had bad feelings. Why, I wonder, does hearing Kajiwara's voice make my head feel like it is going split in two?

I couldn't endure the pain in my head and squat right there. Kurodayu... Calm down. My head... it hurts.

Hyosuke: "[Name]! What is it?"

Hyosuke helped to lift me off the ground. He took Kurodayu's reins from my hands and began to soothe Kurodayu.

Hyosuke: "There, there, Kurodayu, calm down. What is it?"

Kuordayu: "Nee, bree."

Hyosuke: "For now, let's head to the stable."

Hyosuke: "You're always so well-behaved Kurodayu, what's wrong?"

"I don't know..."

Kurodayu reacted pretty strongly towards Kajiwara... Kuordayu, do you hate Kajiwara? I wonder where you met him? Perhaps, I was acquainted with Kajiwara before...?

Don don don. Damn it, it seems every time I start to remember something, my head starts pounding.

Hyosuke: "[Name], you should lay down and rest."

"I'm fine."

Hyosuke: "Your head still hurts, doesn't it? You should sleep more. This has to be just a passing sickness."

"Yes... This just has to be a passing sickness."

Hyosuke: "How do you know that?"

Ton. Hyosuke touched his forehead with mine.

"Agh!"

Close... Hyosuke, your face... is close! Thump-thump, thump-thump. I can feel his breath on my face. What should I do? I'm blushing!

Hyosuke: "You seem to have a slight temperature."

No, this is your fault!

"I don't have a fever. Really, I'm fine."

I gently pushed Hyosuke back.

Hyosuke: "You definitely have a fever. What's this? You're blushing?"

"I told you, I was fine!"

Hyosuke: "Hold on just a moment. I'll run and get you a cool towel."

He left the room. Kermit followed Hyosuke out the door. This pain in my head is not some kind of sickness. This is a pain inflicted by my memory. If the pain would just go away, I wonder if I could remember everything?

Pitter patter, pitter patter. Hyosuke came into the room carrying a bucket.

Hyosuke: "I went and drew up some cold water. Just one more moment..."

Hyosuke dipped a cloth he brought into the cold water. Then he laid the wet cloth on my forehead.

Hyosuke: "Does the coolness feel good?"
