It was just like any other day. Quite often, you found yourself strolling through the surrounding towns of Echigo. Typically, it started with a cup of hot tea and some dumplings and other sweets at the finest cafés of Japan before you began your shopping journey.

Of course, during your "quite often" strolls, your lovely charismatic boyfriend would tag along. Today, you had made a longer trip. Your feet wandered through the market of Sakai Japan. That was until Shingen spotted the perfect treat.

.

.

"I like my tea with two sugars in it," you state matter-of-factly to the waiter.

Shingen has decided on a different tea shop for today's shopping date. One that is less populated and less flashy than the typical ones you would choose.

"What a lovely start to our date, wouldn't you think, princess?" Shingen smiles to you across the table.

"I would say so. Yes."

Leaning across, he steals a short lived kiss from your lips. Making you blush, slightly, at the public affection. A sight he longed to see, for some time.

"It was a long ride. Are you feeling sore anywhere? When we get back to the inn, I will massage you until you melt into my embrace, my love."

"Yes, that sounds perfect. As long as I, too, can massage you," you wink at him from behind your tea cup.

Although, you wouldn't call these "dates" per se. This really was an awfully common  activity for the two of you. You go out, he tags along. You want sweets, he does, too. A fine breakfast at a café and on to shopping where he refuses to let you spend a single coin.

You go out often, but when you set out on a a journey for your fashion work, you intend to bring home a lot. Still, your money bag remains full when the day is over. Anything your eyes land on. You want it. It is already yours.

The whole time he wears this smug smile. He feels as if he is providing for his girl, knowing everyone is staring at your beauty along the way. And it is only him, holding your hand.

It is quite rare for him to let you wander by yourself. You can take care of yourself quite fine. And you have learned a lot of self defense from your dearest friend, Sasuke.

Whether to protect you, spend time with you, or just waste time. Neither of you are sure the exact reason. But, Shingen is always with you. Like a good boyfriend, Shingen is there... 

But, he was eager than ever to attend this shopping spree. He even brough extra coin today, a whole bag full. His smile as sweet as the dumplings you are eating. Possibly, he doesn't want another fine man to swoop you up while he isn't around.

"So, my beloved. What is on today's agenda," Shingen asks, sipping his tea.

 "I want to find a new Cheongsam."

You have a very specific taste in your fabric and liked only certain colors and designs, dodging everything else. Lately, more oversees fabrics have been sold to Echigo's shopkeepers. But, there was no better fabric found for a fashion designer than in Sakai Japan.

Shingen was sitting comfortably, listening to the sound of your voice as you went on about some of the castle's drama. He too, put some input into the meaningless gossip you were on about.

Then, his love spoke up, excited. However, your next words weren't to him.

"Keiji?!"

Turning around was Shingen's enemy. Just as tall and handsome of a man. Equal charisma and a bright, honest smile. If anyone can swoop away his beauty, Shingen fears it would be the man before him.
