Warlords of Sengoku (Ikemen Segoku)

Part 4

Edited

Kiren POV

Two words. He just apologised. Kenshin just apologied, to me! They looked like the hardest thing to say in the world to him, I kinda felt bad. Sasuke's eyes were so wide with shock, I thought his eyeballs were gonna fall out of their sockets. I quickly realised I didn't really know what to say to him. My mouth didn't really work anymore. Those to words had cut through me so hard, all I could muster was, "I... Uhhhh... It's... Uhhhhhhhh..." I cleared my through awkwardly.

Way to go me. Meet a deadly warlord. Insult a deadly warlord. Now I will be killed by a deadly warlord.

Kenshin grunted and gave a distasteful look but he didn't seem like he was gonna kill me so... that's good. I pursed my lips. Sasuke, trying to clear the tention asked, "do you have any medical supplies." I reluctantly tore my eyes from Kenshin's beautiful face.

"Ummm. No, sorry. All I've got is some food, clothes, a blanket and a knife-"

Shit. I no longer had a knife because I stupidly left it buried in Masamune's shoulder.

"Wait, scratch that last one."

"Why? Did you somehow misplace a knife?" Kenshin said provokingly.

"No." I replied flatly. "I left it in Date Masamune's arm, for your information!" My voice rising slightly. Kenshin's lips twisted into a mixture between a smirk and shock. Usually that would look weird on most most people. But he just looked even more angelic.

"Why? Was he trying to hurt you?" Sasuke asked, obviously concerned- which I found quite cute.

"Ummm. No. He. Was... Ummm... Making unwanted advantages." Both men narrowed their eyes at me.

Wow, I really suck at making things up on the spot.

"Well, earlier that day he went into the shop I work at. I work at a seamstress. I made him a Haori that he liked a lot, and he decided as extra payment, he wanted to take me to Azuchi castle to Nobunaga. But I refused and, he decided to chase me through town. To escape, I jumped on a horse. He caught up to me, tried to take me with him again, so I stabbed him in the shoulder." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at me like, "that's the story you're going with?" I shrugged my shoulders apologetically.

Hey. It's the best I could come up with!

Kenshin POV

What a strange woman... Not many would actually have the guts to stab Date Masamune, I thought silently.

"And this all happened very quickly you say?" I said, ready to catch her out.

"Ummm, yeah I guess..." She said trailing off, swallowing nervously.

"So, how did you have the time to pack your bag? Hmmmm?" Her eyes, darted round nervously.

"Well, uhhh, you see. I always have a travel bag, just in case business comes up and I need to travel."

"And that bag always has a knife in it?" I questioned.

"It's quite dangerous to be a woman alone in this time." She replied.

Hmmmm, 'this time'... What an odd thing to say. But I'm not really bothered with why she's here. I shrugged. In seeing that I dropped the subject she let out a big sigh. I eyed Asuna suspiciously.

Sasuke POV

I watched Kiren and Kenshin talk for the past few minutes. Her weird backstory was terrible but somehow Kenshin seemed to buy it. He's one of the started people I knew but when it came to women, he doesn't give enough of a shit about them to look into her unbelievable backstory.

"Hey! I have some spare cloth in my bag we could use to temporarily patch up Kenshin's leg." Kiren said quickly, handing me a long square of cloth. I accepted it gratefully, and began to bandage up Kenshin's leg until he could stand.
