Shall We Date Ninja Love

Chapter Seventeen - Preparations

Narrated By Aki

The next morning I slowly sat up looking around the room. By My Futon were breakfast and a not

 “Princess I hope you feel better today than last night. I will be back soon to protect you. –Kotaro”

 I sighed after reading the note knowing Kotaro had already left for Koga. I hope everything will go well for everyone. I began to eat my breakfast when Jen Jen flew open the door.

 Jen Jen: DO YOU SEE WHAT KIND OF KIMONO GOEMON GOT US? I HATE WEARING THE COLOR PINK! IT MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A GEISHA!

 I laughed as I looked at her.

 Aki: I think it looks good on you Jen!

 Jen Jen: Well I do not like being called princess. It’s way too…strange.

 Aki: What do you mean?”

 Jen Jen: Well every time someone say “Princess” I look around for you.

 Aki: Haha I wouldn’t be surprised if you had a dumb look on your face while you looked around for me.

 Jen Jen: I did thanks…

 Aki: Hehe you will get used to it Jen. I know you will be able to pull it off. Just think of it as another challenge.

 Jen Jen: Yeah, you’re right! I guess it will just take some time.

 I finished my breakfast as I talked with Jen, and then we started thinking of ways Jen Jen could act like me. The best way we could come up with is the way she walked and greeted people. So we spent the next week showing her how I walked and moved. My little gestures as I talked to people. One evening Jen Jen and I were in the garden sitting by the Sakura tree enjoying some night time tea when out of nowhere Sasuke jumped down from the tree.

 Sasuke: Jen Jen! I missed you so much!

 Sasuke suddenly hugged me tightly. I patted him on the back and smiled.

 Aki: A….Thanks Sasuke I missed you too.

 He looked at me and I could see he had mistaken me for Jen Jen. He looked over to Jen Jen and kneeled down to her. He grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes as he kissed her hand.

 Sasuke: It’s nice to see you again princess.

Jen Jen: Thank you Sasuke. It’s good to see you too! How was your trip?

 Sasuke smiled then stood up.

 Sasuke: It was wonderful thank you for asking.

 Aki: Well it’s getting late I should head to my room.

 Kotaro: I’ll accompany you.

 I turned to try to find where Kotaro’s voice was coming from, but I couldn’t find him. I turned forward and he was in front of me. I looked forward and he was right in front of me.

 Aki: Kotaro!

 Kotaro: If you please follow me I’ll take you to your room.

 Aki: Alright…Well Good night Sasuke, Princess!

 I waved back to them as we walked into the mansion. As soon as Kotaro and I were in my room together and the door was closed I gave him a hug.

 Kotaro: Princess…

 Aki: I missed you Kotaro. All I could think about was if you were okay.

 Kotaro looked down to me smiled, but it quickly dispersed.

 Kotaro: I’ll set your futon up for you.

 Kotaro started to set up my futon. I was shocked…being away from each other and all her could say was “princess” and “I’ll set up your futon for you?” I sighed then threw myself into the blankets. I was beginning to feel like Kotaro wanted nothing to do with me at all, and I was acting like a lost dog to him. So I quickly fell asleep.

 After sometime I was awaken by a warm touch to my cheek. I wanted to look to see what it was but I kept my eyes closed. After sometime I sat up and looked over to find Kotaro futon was about two yards from my bed. Did Kotaro touch my cheek? I was trying to figure out so many thing that I found myself fast asleep once again.

 The morning sun glimmered onto my face waking me up. I look over and Kotaro was up putting away his futon. I looked to the side of me and breakfast was beside me like once before. I smiled then looked up to Kotaro.

 Aki: Thanks for bring me breakfast.

 Kotaro: You’re welcome.

 I began to eat the warm portage with honey and sugar while drinking some cold morning milk. I looked up to Kotaro as he was looking out the window.

 Aki: How’s the view?

 Kotaro: Sasuke and Jen Jen are leaving now as we speak.

 Aki: Oh…

 Kotaro looked over to me as he could see I was upset about something.

 Kotaro: Is something the matter?

 Aki: I just thought that I would be able to tell Jen Jen good luck.

 Kotaro walked over and handed me a note. I took it into my hands and began to read it.

 “Aki, stay safe from this Munenori Yagyu! I don’t like the stuff I hear about him, and also good bye and I love you! I’ll see you soon. – Jen Jen”

 Tears started to welt up in my eyes I quickly brushed them away and finished my food.

 Kotaro: I will be taking you to Munenori Yagyu along with Kuma.

 I looked up to him and smiled.

 Aki: Aright! Let’s go.
