A flash of lightning is all it took to turn Takeo Ruka's life upside-down. She is thrown 400 years into the past, into a world of war and bloodshed, but not quite the past she's familiar with from history class. The war is brutal and those a part of...
The only thing I could hear besides the frightening thunder was the pounding of my heart. My body trembled because of my fear of thunderstorms, my legs almost like jelly and barely aiding my escape from Tomoki. I was freezing cold too, my joints slowly going stiff and tears fell from my eyes uncontrollably. I winced every now and then as protruding stones and tree roots jabbed my feet.
The voices were closing in on me and I was very close to giving up on escaping and just accepting my fate of being with Tomoki. But my overwhelming yearning for Kichiro sama had me pushing forward somehow.
"Kyaahh!" I screamed when another loud thunder blasted through the skies, vibrating the ground with its strength.
I collapsed to my knees trembling, only to gasp and struggled when I felt a tight grip on my upper arm. Looking up, I saw one of Tomoki's men glaring at me. He looked frightening in the dark and with the flashes of lightning behind him. Yet, I struggled.
"Let go of me!" I tried to twist my arm out of his hold but he only gripped my harder.
"You wench! How dare you try to escape!"
I screamed and fell to my knees again at another crack of thunder, my body close to convulsing and my breathing close to hyperventilation. I was caught and I was going to be taken to Tomoki now, and then he would...no! I didn't want it to end this way for me!
The man soon yanked me up only to drag me behind him. In an attempt to escape, I bit his arm as hard as I could. He yelped in pain and shoved me away, giving me the chance to throw mud at his face and to run like my life depended on it...for it did.
Despite feeling exhausted, I pushed on, begging the heavens to give me enough strength to make it to Kichiro sama. Luck was on my side today and I spotted Kichiro sama when I stepped out of some bushes. He was standing with some soldiers, his expression livid as he was giving out instructions. The mere sight of him made me feel like everything was okay now.
I let my guitar fall to the ground with a loud clang that gained Kichiro sama's attention. He looked absolutely furious to see me but tears welled in my eyes more. I sprinted to him only to collide with his body in an embrace, wrapping my arms around his torso and pressing myself against his body that was warm despite being drenched in the rain like me.

I sobbed loudly, happy, relieved and scared all at the same time. "Kichiro sama!" I wailed, "Kichiro sama! Kichiro sama! I was so scared! Kichiro sama!"
He didn't react to my embrace or my words and I pulled out of the embrace to look at his face. He still looked incredibly angry but I didn't care at the moment. I could no longer suppress my emotions for him. Clutching the front of his clothes tightly in my fists, I raised myself to stand on my toes and pressed my lips against his in a kiss. He noticeably tensed at that and shoved me away but it wasn't hard enough to make me let go of his clothes. I was sobbing loudly but shrieked with a tremble at another loud thunder. I pressed myself against Kichiro sama, shuddering and feeling dizzy.
