Narrated By Aki

I slowly opened my eyes and Kotaro was with me. I was so happy I smiled to him. 

Kotaro: ...Princess. 

Aki: Good Morning Kotaro! 

Kotaro: ... 

Aki: What's wrong? 

Kotaro smiled back to me. 

Kotaro: Nothing... It's been a while since I woke up in a good mood. 

Kotaro's words from last night echoed in my head, "I want to be in a world that has you in it." I feel the same way about him! I always want to be with Kotaro. 

There was a sudden knock at the door. Kotaro stood up and opened the door, and let in Jen Jen and Sasuke.  

Aki: Good Morning Jen, Sasuke! 

Jen Jen: A VERY Good Morning to you! 

Sasuke: So Kotaro, Goemon told us the good news. 

Kotaro: ... 

Jen Jen: Oh don't be modus Kotaro! Everyone but Hanzo has known you have the HUGE hot's for Aki! 

Kotaro: Princess, I'll prepare you something to eat. Please get dress. 

Kotaro leaves the room with Jen Jen and Sasuke...I feel like it is a bad idea. Jen Jen looks over to me and grins like no other. My face instantly goes red.  

Aki: What? 

Jen Jen: Oh you know! 

Aki: I have no idea what you are implying.  

Jen Jen: Oh Please! Give us all the details!  

I looked over to Sasuke that wants to know as much as Jen does and I sigh with a smile. 

Aki: Kotaro said he loved me! 

Jen Jen: NO WAY!  

Aki: Yes! 

Jen Jen: AH! I'm so happy for you! 

Jen Jen Suddenly gives me a huge hug. 

Aki: Thanks! 

Jen Jen: Did you tell him you loved him back?! 

Aki: Not yet.... 

She lets go of me and give me a look. 

Jen Jen: Well why not? 

Aki: I'm not sure why...I know how I feel about him but I think when I say it to him I want it to be special. 

Jen Jen: Whatever you say. I hope you and Kotaro the best! 

Sasuke: As do I! 

I looked to both of them and thank them. I then shooed Sasuke out of the room so I could change my clothes. Jen Jen stayed behind to help me. Goemon quickly came into the room with a new Kimono that Lynn had made for me. 

Aki: You mean Lynn does something other than drink Sake all day? 

Jen Jen: Yeah, no kidding! 

Goemon: I'm just as shocked as you are, but this is a very beautiful kimono. She put her all into making this for you. 

I loved the pattern on the Kimono Lynn made for me. It had Sakura flowers with beautiful butterflies all around it. Goemon handed Jen Jen the kimono and left the room. 

Jen Jen: This is crazy beautiful...I can't believe she made this! 

Aki: Same here, will you help me put it on?  

Jen Jen: Of course!  

Jen Jen helped me put the color full Kimono on. She then helped me put my hair up with the Hair pin Kotaro gave to me. I turned to Jen Jen and smiled. 

Aki: So how do I look? 

Jen Jen: Amazing! It really brings out your inner beauty! 

Aki: Thanks! 

Jen Jen stood up and walked to the door. As Jen Jen opened the door Kotaro was standing there with a plate of food. Kotaro walks passed Jen Jen as she winks at him. He looks up and his froze. 

Aki: How do I look... 

Kotaro: .... 

Aki: Does it look bad? 

Kotaro: ...No 

Aki: I should have just worn something I already have. 

Kotaro: What I meant was....you look beautiful! 

I blushed to him as I smiled. 

Kotaro: Princess please eat. Hanzo has asked to meet up for a meeting. 

Aki: Okay. I'll eat quickly then.

After I was done eating I met up with Hanzo, Goemon and all the other important ninjas. Hanzo starts the meeting. 

Hanzo: Goemon and I are going to go see the Nergoro people. They have been attacked by Nobunaga, and their leader killed. We plan to set up out next plan of action after allying with them. Kotaro and the Princess should go to Koga. 

Goemon: Nobunaga is gathering warriors more like Musashi. We are going to need plenty of weapons. 

Kotaro: You want us to go to Koga to secure a weapon supply? 

Saizo: Koga has always been famous for our weapons.  

Hanzo: Tell them we need guns to go up against Nobunaga. 

Jen Jen: Wouldn't Koga be out of weapons from the castle? 

Saizo: Koga always keeps a stock of ingredients to make the finest guns. 

Hanzo: They will be using weapons from foreign lands. We need something that will make a fair fight. 

Kotaro: How many guns do we need? 

Hanzo: At least twenty, once you have them train the local ninjas to use them. 

Kotaro: Yes sir. 

Hanzo: Saizo, Sasuke and Jen Jen will meet you up there. 

Goemon: I hear the gun maker doesn't like to take jobs, but Hanzo is right we are going to need though guns. 

Sasuke: You have to convince him to help us.

Hanzo ended the meeting and everyone went there way. Before Lynn went away to start training new ninjas I thanked her for the kimono. 

Aki: Lynn thanks for the Kimono! 

Lynn: Ah! I new though colors would look amazing on you! Don't you think so boss! 

Lynn elbowed Hanzo as he started to blush slightly. 

Hanzo: It looks great on you! 

Lynn: It looks more than great Hanzo! Geese, you really need to get laid or something cause you suck at talking to women! 

Kuma: Don't talk to Lord Hanzo like that! 

Lynn: It's only the truth Kuma! Chill! 

Hanzo: No its fine Kuma... Princess you look beautiful! 

Aki: Thank you Hanzo, now if you accuse me I'll take my leave. 

I walked to the stables with Kotaro as he helped me up onto his horse and hoped on with me.
