Sengoku Night Blood [Megumi] Drabbles

Ambushed?! [14]

Out of nowhere, an alarming amount of unknown enemies arrived.

Pointing swords and arrows at us.

Surrounding the Sanada Army as well as our group.

Despite the confusion, all of us knew one thing. The unknown enemies were here for something.

But for what reason?

While the Sanada Army as well as Shigezane were focused on the unknown enemies.

Masamune, Imari, and I were only focused on the bleeding retainer.

Struggling from the arrows he received in Masamune's place.

"Kojuro-san." My voice faltered as I tried to help Masamune lift Kojuro up.

I'm used to seeing all three of them coming back to Date Castle with injuries and bleeding near death's door, but now that I've actually seen them get hurt.

There was something familiar shooting within me.

Fear.

The fear of losing someone was overwhelming me.

But in the midst of my thoughts, the words of an unknown man dispelled whatever shock-like trance I was in.

"Capture her."

All of a sudden, one of the unknown soldiers tried to yank me by the arm.

"Hey?!" Not taking any chances, I gripped the unknown soldier's arm and pulled him towards me.

Allowing me enough room to kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

"Gack?!" Upon receiving that kick, it gave me enough time to escape the man's grip and let someone close by take care of the rest.

"Shigezane, now!" Going behind Shigezane, the said commander of the Date took charge.

"Take this!" As soon as he slashed the man that tried to take me, Shigezane stood close.

"Thanks."
