Yukimura (SLBP PART 2)

Chapter One

"Lina chan..." Yukimura called in a soft voice as he pulled his wife into him. "Come on you know my father didn't mean what he said..."

Lina pouted as she allowed her husband to hug her from the back while they're both laying down on the bed...

"He didn't have to be so mean..."

"Lina chan... it's just the way of the samurai..."

"No!" Lina pouted even more, refusing to turn around and face Yukimura. "I just want my husband safe and sound but there your father goes trying to convince you dying a noble death is the way of the samurai..."

"But it is!"

"There you go again! Why do you always side your fa-..."

"Lina chan..." Yukimura sighed again. "I don't always side my father..."

"But you do!"

"No I don't..."

"Yes!"

"No..." Yukimura suddenly growled playfully as he climbed on top of his wife.

Lina squeaked in surprise as she looked up to look into baby blue eyes...

"Come on... don't be angry with me Hime sama..."

Lina pursed her lips in disapproval...

"You know how much I don't fancy that title..."

"Oh is it? Why not?"

"Because I feel I don't earn it..."

"But you do fit the title! You're beautiful, you're kind, you're smart..."

Lina frowned as she smacked her husband's shoulders alternately.

"Don't try to sugar coat me! I know what you're doing! You're just trying to change the subject!"

"Tsk, am not!"

Lina was about to protest when Yukimura suddenly kissed her and she felt his tongue snaking into her mouth...

"Mmmm..." Lina heard Yukimura moaned as she sucked gently onto his tongue...

Yukimura's hands began wandering as he explored his wife's body...

Needless to say, they made up by spending a passionate night together...

*~*

It was two nights later when a maid entered Lina's and Yukimura's chamber...

"Lady Sanada, Lord Masayuki wants to speak to you." a maid bowed to Lina as she held the peach in her hand inches from her mouth, never getting the chance to bite into it...

"What does he want..." she muttered under her breath, not really asking the maid but she answered it anyway.

"Erm... Erm... I'm-I'm not-not sure Lady Sana-..."

Lina waved her hands at the maid.

"I wasn't asking you... I was technically asking myself..." she answered with a soft smile at the maid. "Sorry if I made you nervous."

The maid smiled back gratefully and nodded before leaving Lina's and Yukimura's room...

"Yukimura kun..." Lina called out as she turned around at her husband who was wearing his armour... "Do you really have to go to war tonight?"

Yukimura frowned at his wife's reflection from the mirror.

"You know I have to..."

"No you don't have to... You can technically take a day off..."

Yukimura chuckled at his wife's idea.

"Samurai don't have days off hime sama..."

"Then don't be one."

Yukimura's eyes turned serious as he turned around to face his wife.

"You know that's not an option right?"

"Yukimura kun... I married you thinking that you will be family-oriented even though you're a samurai. That's because I thought it's a peace era so there would be no more wars..."

"I can't help it if there are rebels and rogue samurai Lina chan..." Yukimura told her gently as Lina stared at the peach in her hand...

"I'm not hungry anymore..." Lina said coldly as she placed the peach back in its bowl, along with the rest of the peaches...

"I thought you said you're hungry? You've been craving for peaches that's why I ordered the maids to prepare a bowl of peaches for you twice a day..."

"I already told you I'm not hungry!" Lina snapped as she stood up and opened the sliding door to their room.

"Where are you going?" Yukimura took a few steps as he followed his wife.

"To see your father where else?!" Lina huffed before stomping away.

"Is it me or is she extra cranky nowadays???" Yukimura wondered to himself as he turned to the bowl of peaches and stared at it...

"Or is she cranky because she's feeling...peachy?"
