It had been around 4 to 6 years since I was born into this strange world, I soon found out that I was the sister of Kenshin, or as he's known at the moment.. Nagao Kagetora... I call him Kenshin though as it's just easier for me anyways, he was going to be took into the Uesugi clan soon, Or at least i had a feeling, they were also trying to take me as well, I didn't care to be honest whether they did or not since these people aren't even my family.. or at least they don't feel like my real family.

Suddenly my thoughts were disturbed as a harsh knocking came from the door, I jumped up with a sharp glare and grabbed my knife as a precaution, I slowly opened the door and in front of me was father, as soon as I opened the door he took my hand with not much notice causing me to hiss in pain, I was dragged out of my home and in front of me was Kenshin, some other men and a carriage/cart, I studied the scene in front of me before sighing and grabbing my bags and a umbrella that was placed beside it, my mother rushed out and was trying to get to us, she was held back by our father though, "You can't let them take my baby!" She hollered at her husband, tears streaming down her face "she's not made for war!" I scoffed slightly, I was slightly irritated at my mother who was underestimating me but I suppose it can't be helped since I'm a child at the moment, so instead I took another route, I decided to reassure my helpless mother, grabbing the umbrella I looked up at her, "Mom!" I shouted out causing her to turn my way, I forced a broad smile on my face "Don't worry about me.. I'll be just fine! I promise!" I said while slightly cringing, suddenly she broke down even more and ran into my arms, I decided not to say anything and let her pour it out, and a few minutes later she tore away and smiled slightly, her black hair shining in the sun, "Pinky promise, Alright?" I said, her eyes visibly tear up but she quickly brushes away the forming tears and wraps her pinky finger around mine, I gave her a small smile and then headed towards the cart, my brother quickly scooped me up and placed me on the cart as he noticed I was struggling, the cart then began to take off and I pouted childishly "I didn't need your help dummy." Kenshin laughed heartily "yeah, yeah whatever." He smiled and rubbed my hair causing it to mess up "Hey don't do that Kenshin!" I said trying to fix my hair "Kenshin? You're still using that name for me?" He said curiously "where'd you even find such a name anyways," I thought for a second on what to reply with before my eyes lit up and i pressed a finger to my light red lips "it's a secret!" I laughed, he groaned slightly and kept pestering me about it until it got dark,

I felt someone shake my side causing me to groan and shout "shut up!" The person who disturbed my sleep shushed me "don't shush me you bastard!" I shouted louder and the person covered my mouth abruptly "don't you dare use that language!" I opened my eyes to see Kenshin and I rolled my eyes, he took his hand off my mouth "or what?" I said in a sassy matter, crossing my arms "or I'll tell mom and dad." He said, this left me confused though as we were most likely never gonna see our parents ever again "what the hell are you talking about? We are being adopted by the Uesugi clan for god sa-" I went on until he interrupted me "I'm taking you back." He suddenly said "what?" I said

"You heard me." He cockily said, I began to get angry "what? do you think I'm not ready for battle? that I'm a weak little girl?" I shouted, his eyes widened and he covered my mouth "quiet! And no! Of course not you idiot!" He whisper-shouted, "then why?" I said my eyebrows scrunching in anger, he sighed and sat beside me "I saw the way you looked before we had to leave, you're strong I know that much but.. you were clearly hurt." He said causing my eyes to widen, I didn't know he was this observational, "and then with mom.. I could clearly see you were on the verge of breaking down, but you stayed strong right? you pursued this because you didn't want mother to be sad." my eyes had began to tear up slightly, I hadn't noticed though "I...i" I stammered trying to deny it, 'it's not true' was such a simple thing to say.. so why was I struggling so much? it felt as if my voice had been dragged to the bottom of the ocean and it hurt so.. I let it out.


My sobs had reduced to sniffing now, as my nose ran, Kenshin rubbed my back slightly as comfort, he knew I didn't like being touched too much so I felt thankful, "ready to go?" He asked and I nodded smiling as he held onto my small hand. We both stepped out of the cart and headed towards the path that took us back, sadly we didn't hear the soft footsteps from behind us and all of a sudden my brother was lying on the floor, as a pool of blood surrounded his small head, I turned around just in time and my head collided with something, I'm not sure what it is but all I knew now was that my brother was injured and everything was going black.

fun fact: nobunaga had a wife tho she was infertile so they had one of his concubines have a child with nobunaga but then dat kid died in the fire as well #rip #toobad #sorrynotsorry #idkifitstruecauseireadaboutitonwikipedia
