Warlords of Sengoku (Ikemen Segoku)

Part 20

Masamune POV

"You look beautiful, Princess." I said, eyeing her sky blue kimono lustfully; drinking in her swirling emerald eyes.

"Umm, thank you." Y/N said quietly, pursing her lips. "Masamune?"

I could already tell what she wanted to say, "Y/N, it's alright."

"Yeah, look, I'm so sorry for stabbing you in the shoulder. And stealing your horse. And leaving you without water. Or food."

I chuckled, amused by how genuinely guilty she looked "It's alright, I really am surprised you managed to escape me though, not many people can outride me."

"A couple more miles and I probably would've surrendered." She smiled as she tucked a strand of hair that fell over her gorgeous green eyes behind her ear.

Y/N POV

His greedy eye seemed to gobble me up as he closed the distance between us miraculously fast and tentatively picked up one of my many long strands of hair. Masamune traced the natural waves tht lay across his well built palms with a somewhat fascination.
Hey, I'm all for giving these warlords a try but this one in front of me definately looks like he's going to start sniffing my hair. Or maybe cut it off for more sniffing later.

Blood crept up the back of my next and drifted round to my ears, making me look and feel rather flustered. Masamune, the womanizer he clearly was, seemed to be able to sense my discomfort to our proximity and decided to edge his face even closer to mine; as if collecting my awkward and flustered reactions were a sport.

Just at that moment, Hamiko decided to leave my room which we hadn't even moved away from at that point.

I stepped back instantly, uncomfortable with the way I kinda missed his breath on my neck and the way his gorgeous lips lifted into an effortless smirk at the sight of me. Her light brown eyes flitted uncertainly between Masamune and I, but moments had past and still the three of us were just standing there. Why hasn't she left?

"Hamiko? Are you alright?" Her eyes stopped fidgeting and they fixated on me, swirling with emotions that I couldn't place.

"Is there something wrong?" Masamune cut in. Hamiko's eyes suddenly widened and she spun around to face him.

"Oh umm! M-M-Masamune-sama! I... umm..." She stuttered, letting her torso and head bend over in a bow of respect. She didn't come out of it until Massamune and I eyed eye other curiously and he told her to stand up straight, "Hamiko is it?"

"Yes! Masamune-sama, how kind and gracious of you to remember my name, even though you're probably too busy to and you probably know so many other people more worth your precious time."

He flashed an infinitely dashing smile, "How could I forget a name as beautiful as yours?"

I rolled my eyes at that because I had said her name only minutes ago. It was really weird how easy my maid was literally melting at the sight of Masamune and she seemed seconds away from professing her love for him. I cleared my throat awkwardly because I was pretty sure she was drooling at this point.

"Masamune, we should get to breakfast, I do have a job to do after all."

Hamiko spun round with fire in her eyes, "Lady Y/N, I forgot you were here, my apologies. Masamune-sama and I were just sharing a moment and I got carried away."

"Righttt." I replied with narrowed eyes, slightly alarmed by the hostile tone Hamiko was taking with me.

"Masamune?"

"Of course. I shouldn't keep you waiting after all." He smiled finally at Hamiko who I could feel staring daggers at my back as we left for breakfast.

"That was weird." I said when we were out of earshot.

"Why?"

"Did you not see how crazy Hamiko was acting towards me, or were you too busy staring dreamily into her eyes to notice?!"

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous Y/N"

"Jealous of what Masamune-sama?" I replied with the same timid voice as Hamiko when saying his name.

"Jealous of dear Hamiko and mine's apparent closeness of course."

"If anyone's jealous here, it's definitely her. I swear she looked like she was gonna murder me when I interrupted your little moment."

"Ahhh, she's just entranced by my endless charm, something that you seemed to be subjected to as well."

I rolled my eyes once more as we enter the large dining area through sliding wooden panelled doors.

A/N

What d'ya think? I feel like we got a yandere on our hands...
