Chapter 4: The Agreement

Warning: Seductive Nobunaga and flirty Shingen

"What are you doing here? What do you want from me?" Her throat was dry and tight, she didn't understand why she felt so intimidated all of a sudden. The girl didn't usually get fearful in front of people. But the man in front of her was unreadable -- except for the huge smirk he wore constantly.

Who were these people? What did they want? If they had any kind of power how come she didn't know anything about them?

There were so many questions she had and so few were answered.

"You don't wanna know how we are first?" He chuckled.

"No, I wanna know what's your business here is first and if I'm remotely interested, then I'll ask," She mentally praised herself for still having her tough exterior.

"Smart move," Nobunaga nodded, comfortably laying on her bed, he stretched his arms, placing his hands behind his head and crossing his legs, "in a nutshell, we want you on our side,"

"What do you mean?" He took a deep breath before continuing

"The people you work for are bad people, and granted, we aren't the best of people either but we aren't as disturbingly bad as they are,"

"What makes you think I'm not one of them?" She dared, not wanting to seem desperate for an exit.

"Because we've had our eyes on you," he licked his lips, savouring the anticipation that he knew she was feeling, "you see, we know you're a high level mercenary that had been loyal to that company for a while now, and because of that, you're on the higher class so you can choose you are not inside the company,"

"Yeah, so I'm an independent mercenary, what's your point," She snapped, not liking the bad memories flooding back.

"My point is, clearly you are trying to get yourself out of this situation, which is why you work on that in parallel-"

"What, how would you know that?" She scoffed, terrified at the sheer volume of information they had on her.

"Going to a sketchy pub and being good friends with its owner when he's clearly interested in you and you don't do anything about his obvious advances doesn't leave much to the imagination," Nobunaga chuckled. Her heart nearly dropped out of her chest at his analysis.

"It could be he's just a friendly guy," (Y/N) tried to keep herself high.

"And what about going to the photobooth and then giving him a freshly printed passport photo huh? That doesn't seem very legal," He chuckled.

"I'm a mercenary, it's not legal!" The girl shook her head. The crimelord laughed loudly, the sound rumbling in his chest as his shoulders wavered.

"Very true," He shook his head amusingly, "anyway," his fit of laughter died down and his face found it's seriousness again, "we want you on our side, your company is a big enemy that's becominging really tricky with us and since you're on the inside, you can help us tear it apart."

"And why would I trust you?" Her eyes narrowed, he sat on the bed, moving closer to her. His fingers traced her collarbone. She tensed instantly. He was so close to her but (Y/N) didn't dare move, he was so mysterious and it frustrated her that she wasn't able to read him. The girl didn't realise how tense she had become as his fingers caressed up her neck to her jaw. His breath stroke her exposed skin as his lips ghosted over her ear.

"We have a common enemy, we want it to be destroyed, and," he smirked, biting his lip and eyeing her, "we don't want to harm more pretty women than we have to hmm," His nose nuzzled her hair.

"O-okay, that's enough!" She blushed profusely, pushing him off. He chuckled amusingly.

"Then we have a deal?" He outstretched his hand to her. She glanced down at it before reluctantly reaching for it. His hand squeezed hers firmly, grinning widely at her.

"Who are the other people here though?"

"One of our enemies, but also an enemy of the people you are working for, I guess we can become allies just for now to destroy our common enemy," He sighed disappointedly, letting go of her hand, "let's see what kind of chaos they have created in my absence."

The girl jumped as she felt her kitty at her foot, scratching at her foot.

"Oh baby," She cooed lowly, reaching down for the furball and pulling it up, placing him against her chest. Her eyes then followed Nobunaga's figure as he paced to the bedroom door and open the doors.

"Don't you dare touch Yuki!" A voice ordered.

"Everyone, stop this!" Nobunaga ordered. Silence immediately engulfed the room. The only sound she could hear was her cat's purring as she gently scratched it's neck.

"Sorry, my Lord," The man with hints of green on his suit bowed at Oda.

"Now, if this is going to work, we need to work together, as much as I don't want this to happen, we have an asset within their company." Nobunaga smirked, sliding his arm around the girl's shoulders. She released a squeak as her body was pulled against his.

"That's no way to treat a beautiful lady," The auburn man frowned, pacing up to the pair and pulling the girl out of the raven-haired man's grasp.

"Uh," The girl blushed as his second finger placed itself delicately under her chin and tilted it towards his smirking face.

How were there so many attractive men in one room? More importantly, her room?

"Let her go, you're making her uncomfortable," The green tux man stated firmly, frowning in their direction.

"He's right, you can clearly see her discomfort, let her go Lord Shingen," A man with glasses sighed.

"If we're going to work together, we'll need a plan!" Hideyoshi was it? informed.

"Do you have a plan? I don't want to be in the presence of this devil when I can't kill him longer than I have to be," A white-haired man with beautiful heterochromia eyes glared at Nobunaga.

Hideyoshi turned to his Lord, who was smirking mischievously.

"Well..."
