To the story..
***
Chikara had been always wanting to be a great samurai like his father. He did sword-training, showing to his father that he was determined to be a samurai. Yet, there was something in his father that Chikara couldn’t get, his father seemed reluctant to accept him as a samurai. His mother knew what Chikara wanted, she also didn’t understand why her husband hadn’t accept his son to be a samurai like him.
It was until something big happened in Ako, an incident that lead Ako to a different future. The death of Lord Asano of Ako which would also change Chikara’s destiny. His father was thrown into a deep and dark hole, Lady Mika was forced to marry Lord Kira, all samurais under Lord Asano’s leadership were turned into masterless samurais. Chikara and his mother lived outside of the castle since that day.
A year later, Chikara finally got his role when his father back and needed samurais to kill the enemy. The mission was accomplished. However, the 47 samurais must paid for what they did. They must committed seppuku. Lucky for Chikara though, the shogun let him live to continue Oishi’s family. He saw his father and other samurais died in honor. He felt a mixed feelings but when he saw his mother face, he was glad he was alive. He could protect his mother.
A day after the eventful day Chikara was summoned to the shogun chamber. When he arrived, he was surprised to see Lady Mika was there too. Then the shogun ordered them to tell him the truth behind what had happened. Both of them told the story, the true story including the witch, the dragon, everything.
The shogun stayed in silence after they finished telling the story. Chikara almost threw a question about the reason why the shogun decided to just let him live, but before he could utter what inside his mind, the shogun spoke to them.
“Chikara the son of Oishi, I appoint you to be the new leader of Ako. Together with Mika the daughter of Asano, both of you will rule Ako through the bond of marriage.” stated Shogun Tsunayoshi.
Both Chikara and Mika totally didn’t expect this. But knowing the power that the Shogun held, they perfectly understood that refusing was not a good option. Moreover, after what happened in Ako, Chikara and Mika clearly didn’t want to put more shame for their family.
Hearing no objection from both of them, The Shogun took it as an approval. “Preparation for your marriage in two days. You may leave if there’s no question.”
Two days was too soon, Chikara couldn’t believe of what he just heard. Mika was the same, but she recovered from the shock faster than him. She bowed to The Shogun before leaving the room without any words.
Finally registering of what had happened, Chikara followed her act. Bowing to The Shogun and left the room. He was still confused and felt the need to talk to Mika.
“Lady Mika.” Chikara said as he walked into Mika’s room followed by her two handmaiden.
“We can’t do anything other than following what The Shogun told us to do.” Mika rose to approach Chikara. “I’m sorry.”
If he was asked, Chikara honestly didn’t want to follow The Shogun’s order. He admired Mika for her beauty but never even once the thought of marrying her crossed his mind. He wanted to tell her that he didn’t want to, that there must be other way. He didn’t want to rule Ako, he just wanted to be a great samurai like his father.
Yet, it must be hard for Mika too, he thought. Losing her father, the only family she had, who left a huge land of Ako to be ruled wasn’t a small thing to deal with. And now with the arranged marriage. Thinking of his father loyalty to Asano’s family, Chikara suddenly didn’t have a heart to speak up his disapproval to Mika.
All he saw in Mika was a woman trying to be strong when he knew she could just broke down there and cry or something. But she was truly a daughter of Lord Asano after all.
Heaving a deep sigh, Chikara finally said a word. “Don’t apologize to me, Lady Mika. Following my father loyalty to your father. I will do what you think is right. If you decide to continue this marriage order, then I’ll do as your command.”
“Thank you. Your father must be proud of you. Ako is our main priority now, think about people in this land that still covered by deep grief because the lost of my father. Let this marriage be a thing to assure them that Ako will continue its life.” Mika’s expression showed gratefulness.
Chikara could feel that he had made the right decision.
“You don’t have to thank me for that, My Lady.” Chikara said. “It’s the only thing I can do to protect this land.” With that, he bowed to Mika and left her room.
Unsure feeling was still stay for both of them. No one knew what kind of future they were going to face. All they could do now was to prepare for the wedding, for Ako.
****
It was finally the day of Chikara and Mika’s wedding ceremony. Just like both of them, when everyone heard The Shogun announced that Lord Asano’s daughter would be marrying Oishi’s son, no one could hide their surprised. No one was expecting this turn of events. Even so, none dared to oppose The Shogun order. People could only pray that the marriage would bring good luck to the land.
The wedding ceremony wasn’t too grandiose. It’s Mika’s personal request to hold a modest wedding ceremony. She reasoned that it wasn’t appropriate to hold a fancy feast when people still mourned over the death of their leader and samurais. Chikara agreed with that and tried to focus on the ceremony while keeping his face straight throughout the ceremonial.
After hours of following the wedding ceremony, the time had finally come for Chikara and Mika to fulfill the reason of Chikara’s exemption from seppuku, to give a heir to continue the family. Chikara tried to think this as one of his duties and pray to Gods that he wouldn’t bring shame upon his family name.
It turned out to be an awkward situation for both of them though. In the room prepared for the newlywed, Chikara and Mika sat side by side, their futon lying beside them. Both of them seemed hesitate to make a first move. Chikara took his time to study Mika. Aspiring to be a samurai, Chikara spent his time learning about all the samurai codes and confucianism, he barely had time to meet girls. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to do, he just didn’t feel that way towards Mika.
As for Mika, she felt inappropriate for a lady to make a first move. But no one seemed gonna begin and the situation could last until sun rise. Thus, Mika decided to be bolder. She moved closer to Chikara, leaning her body to him and to Chikara’s surprised, Mika was kissing him.
Chikara kissed her back. He prayed in his heart that it would happen smoothly for both of them tonight. The kiss then turned to be more passionate it made them end up on futon with Chikara above Mika. Looking at Mika under him, Chikara noted that she was very pretty. She might be the prettiest woman in Ako, no wonder Kira tried so hard to get her. Yet, no matter how pretty she is, Chikara couldn’t put aside his thought that she was the daughter of his master.
However, he had gone too far to stop. He started kissing her lips again before moving lower to her neck. He heard a soft sigh escaping her lips and he could also feel her knee brushing his groin. He continued his ministration, trying to make himself hard. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t get it up. It started to frustrate him because every normal man would feel strong arousal when they had woman as pretty as Mika writhing under them. Probably Mika could feel that Chikara was thinking too hard because suddenly he felt a hand on his cheek, stopping him from what he was doing.
Chikara looked up when he heard what she said, “I think it would be better if we just sleep tonight.”
“I’m sorry My Lady.” That’s all Chikara could utter.
“You must be stressed and tired.” Mika smiled to him.
Chikara felt bad because it should had been him to comfort Mika, not the other way around. But seeing that there was no other option, he chose to lay beside Mika and gather her to his embrace. That was the least he could do for tonight.
Mika snuggled to him while his mind drifted to one day before their wedding ceremony.
Everyone in the castle was busy preparing for the wedding right after The Shogun made a public announcement. The Shogun only gave them not more than two days. For Chikara who was used to train himself with samurai-like education, wedding preparation suffocating him. Thus, he decided to take a walk. He really needed to refresh his mind. He planned to walk further, almost reaching the gate to get out of the land.
He was strolling down absentmindedly when something - or someone - catch his attention. Standing near the gate of Ako, this person wearing a kimono with colors that would catch every people attention. From the motive, ornaments, and color, Chikara was sure that the person was a woman. A sudden urge pushed him to approach her.
But before Chikara could move his legs, the person looked toward him. Giving him a complete view of her face. Her very beautiful face. Chikara was rooted on his feet. His heart beat faster when he saw the woman walked toward him.
As she came closer, Chikara smell the alluring scent of Jasmine mixed with something he couldn’t fathom radiating from the woman.
When she was already in front of him, Chikara couldn’t stop himself from checking out the pretty woman appearance. Her hair wasn’t too long, he noted. But she tied it into a small low ponytail, giving him a perfect view of her luscious milky neck. Then his eyes travelled to a pair of thin lips where he could see a small smile playing at the corner of those pink lips. He could see a glint of amusement in her soft brown eyes.
Chikara was captivated by her beauty. He heard a soft chuckled coming from those pair of pink lips, followed by a voice that awaken new feeling on him.
‘My Lord.’ She said with a husky voice.
His imagination stopped there and he felt himself getting hard. Mika opened her eyes because she felt something poking her from behind. She turned her body to face Chikara to find him already staring at her. She felt that maybe, something could happen tonight. She didn’t know what was actually on Chikara’s mind.
Suddenly overwhelmed with desire, Chikara began kissing the woman in his arms. On his mind, it was the woman he met yesterday that he was kissing right now. He kissed her harder, wanting to savour the taste of those pink lips. Then Chikara moved lower to her luscious neck, inhaling the scent imprinted on his mind. He didn’t know what had gotten into him, but he was full of lust to mark this woman as his. He bit her neck, wanting to hear that voice again.
“Chikara..” His eyes snapped open when he heard the soft moan of his name.
A totally different voice with what he expected to hear. Chikara stopped his ministration and looked up to see Mika, not the woman he met yesterday. He was hard now, perfect to continue what they were expected to do. Yet, he couldn’t stop himself from feeling guilty because it’s not Mika that he had on his mind right now, but a stranger he met yesterday.
“I’m so sorry My Lady.” Chikara looked at her apologetically before getting up and walking out of the room, leaving Mika who was too stunned to react.
Outside the room, Chikara was trying to calm himself down but everytime he closed his eyes, the image of the pretty woman he met appeared. Causing his arousal getting even harder. He couldn’t go back to Mika, he needed to take care of his problem because there was no use of trying to get rid the image anymore.
Then he remembered there was an empty room beside the room prepared for the newlywed. He immediately went to that room before anybody could see him leaving Mika alone in their room. The room was empty, there wasn’t even a futon laid on the tatami. It was obvious because no one would think that anyone would sleep there.
Chikara sat down and lean his body against the wall. When he closed his eyes, the woman came to his imagination again. Her sweet jasmine scent seduced him. He was still hard and the image at the back of his eyes made him even harder.
Without further ado, Chikara started rubbing his crotch with his right hand, trying to create friction to release him from the pain. But it wasn’t enough so he shoved his hand into his nemaki until his hand make a direct contact with his erection. He began pumping it with the image of the woman teasing him in his imagination.
The more he thought about the woman, the more he felt his arousal getting more rigid. Pumping his erection faster, he began to think that instead of his hand, it’s that woman tantalizing lips that engulfing him fully while looking at him with her pretty brown eyes. That thought only was enough to set him off, spurting his seeds to his hand.
Chikara didn’t bother to move. He stayed, trying to control his breath. He knew he was in a big trouble. He usually had a strong self-control so he wondered how a mere stranger, albeit a pretty one, could made him like this. He didn’t even know her name and only met her once. Moreover, the fact that he couldn’t do it with Mika. He felt a tinge of guilt when he thought about Mika. He didn’t mean to make her feel rejected, he hoped she understand. He would still apologize to her tomorrow though. For now, Chikara was too spent to move, he stayed there until he drifted to sleep.
***
The next morning, Chikara and Mika was having breakfast together. No one uttered a word, they ate their food in silence. Mika didn’t even lift her face when Chikara came in. Chikara planned to apologize after finishing his breakfast. But turned out, Mika finished her breakfast first and left immediately. Chikara wanted to follow her but he couldn’t because he hadn’t settled his feelings yet. He ruffled his hair and decided to take a walk outside of the castle.
Chikara changed his mind when he passed the stable. He checked on it and found his horse, he thought that it had been quite a while since he rode his horse. Besides, riding a horse would be faster than walking on his feet, it would save him time to check Ako’s situation.
Chikara pulled his horse out from the stable, brushing its fur before finally getting on the horse. He was about to mount his horse when he heard his two guards coming from him.
“My Lord, where are you going?” The shorter one asked him,
“Just want to see Ako’s condition.” Chikara answered.
“We will accompany you.” The other guard said.
Sighing, Chikara realized that now he wasn’t an ordinary samurai anymore. People saw him as the new lord of Ako. He got his own guards who would accompany him wherever he go. And because he was already too tired to argue, he nodded his head in agreement. Silently telling his two guards to get on their horses and follow him immediately.
****
Chikara was quite satisfied with Ako’s situation. Ako seemed to lose its spirit for a while but now it looked like, it had gained it back. Chikara could feel the new spirit radiating from people in Ako. The marriage wasn’t that bad after all. He only had one problem though, how to get a heir as soon as possible unless he wanted people to think weird about the newlywed. He wouldn’t want to put shame on Mika when it was clearly his fault that he couldn’t do his duty properly.
After looking around for an hour or so, Chikara decided to stop by near the riverbank. When he almost reached the riverbank, a familiar figure catched his attention. The same color of kimono and the enticing scent of jasmine that kept haunting him since the first time he breathed in. His heart started to pound faster.
Chikara then get off from his horse before walking toward her. He needed to keep his pace because he still hadn’t gotten used with his new outfit. Becoming the leader of one land not only meant power, but also meant to dress properly like a nobleman. And he didn’t want to trip on his own feet in front of that woman. He was determined to know her name today.
As he got closer to her, the woman turned her head to see him with the same small smile he saw playing on her lips like when he saw her for the first time. And when Chikara stood in front of her, the same feeling rushed through his body again.
“My lord..” She looked surprised to see Chikara approaching her and bowed her head a little to him. He heard that husky voice again. The voice that had helped him releasing the pain yesterday.
Chikara wouldn’t let this chance passed. “What are you doing here?” He asked.
She answered him with a low voice as she hung her head low as if not wanting to face Chikara directly.
“I can’t hear you. What is wrong with my face? Why don’t you talk while looking at my face?” Chikara wanted to see her face more clearly. “It’s okay to lift your face up.” He ordered in softer tone.
She finally lifted her face up and looking at Chikara. He could see her weird nose, moles under her right eye, her lips, her eyebrows, she was definitely a beauty. Chikara began to wonder why he didn’t see this woman before. Why did she have to appear like right now? Chikara asked on his mind.
Her beauty was captivating, all he needed to know was her name. When he was about to ask, Chikara was surprised to see the woman suddenly fell on her knees. He reacted immediately, holding her, preventing her to fall on the ground completely.
“Hey! Are you okay?” Chikara asked with a worried voice. But he got no response from the woman. He looked at her and noticed that she had fallen unconscious. He heard his guards rushing to him from his behind.
“Is there anything wrong, My Lord?” One of the guard asked, while the other guard had this confused expression on his face seeing his lord holding a stranger.
“Get my horse here!” Chikara demanded.
“Let me help you holding that woman, My Lord.” The guard stated that instead of getting his lord’s horse.
“I said, take my horse here!” Chikara ordered with an angry tone.
When his horse came near him, Chikara instructing his guards to help him to get the woman on the horse with him.
“But My Lord, we don’t know who she is. It’s not safe to take her to the castle.” The first guard reminded him.
However, Chikara didn’t care, he was the one to decide here. “Just do as I say.”
The two guards couldn’t oppose their master so they did his order after that. After Chikara felt that she was safe enough on the horse with him, he mounted and ride his horse not too fast even though he really wanted to reach the castle as soon as possible because he needed to make sure that this woman was safe.
Arriving at the castle with an unconscious woman certainly created a ruckus, especially when it was Chikara himself who was carrying her bridal style into the castle. He even ordered the servants to prepare the room immediately for the woman he brought in.
Chikara finally laid the unconscious woman on the futon in the room prepared for her. He was sitting beside her when he heard the door being slide open.
One of the servants asked, “My Lord, do you need a help?” She brought water and a cloth.
“No. I will call you again if I need a help.” Chikara kept his gaze on the unconscious woman, silently telling the servant to just leave the room.
The servant did as he told after putting the water and cloth on the tatami in case Chikara would need it. When there were only him and the unconscious woman again, Chikara couldn’t help but to lean closer to take a look of her face. He wondered why she stood alone near that riverbank and suddenly fainted. She didn’t even stir when Chikara laid her down. Sighing, Chikara still didn’t know her name. Nothing he could do for now other than waiting for her to wake up.
Meanwhile, inside of Mika’s chamber, she heard the ruckus from one of her handmaiden. She informed her that Lord Chikara had brought an unconscious woman from his short trip in town. No one knew who she was, not even the guard. Lord Chikara also seemed didn’t want to let anyone taking care of the woman.
Hearing the information, Mika felt the need to check by herself if it’s really like what her handmaiden told her. So she decided to visit Chikara in that room. She slide the door open quietly and saw Chikara sitting beside the unconscious woman.
Chikara noticed someone was sliding the door open so he turned his head to see who the person was. “My Lady..”
Mika knelt beside Chikara and asked him, “I heard the ruckus and my handmaiden informed me that you brought a woman here.” She casted a look to the unconscious woman.
“Who is she?” She gave Chikara a questioning look.
Chikara didn’t answer immediately because he didn’t know how to explain. But Mika’s inquiring look urged him to answer before it caused a misunderstanding. “I don’t know.”
“Then why is she here?” Mika tried to keep her face straight while asking that, even though inside she felt rather annoyed to Chikara who brought a woman just like that. But she had to hear his reason first.
“She fainted right in front of my eyes. I couldn’t just leave without helping her.” Chikara explained his reason.
“But you don’t even know who she is.” Mika told him as a matter of factly. “You don’t even know whether she is from Ako or other land, do you?” She asked again.
“You’re right, I don’t know about that too.” Chikara sighed. “But you know that she’s in our land, either she is from Ako or not, I obliged to help her, to protect her.”
Chikara was right but it still made Mika feeling peeved because Chikara could just ask to one of many servants they had to tend the woman, yet he chose to do it by himself. Mika felt neglected, but then again, their marriage was an order from the shogun not because of their own will. Despite being feeling rather annoyed, Mika didn’t really have the right to order Chikara around so she just kept her feeling to herself. She left the room without asking further question.
Chikara stayed in his position when Mika left the room. He knew that he hadn’t apologize and he needed to do that before his guilt started eating him up from inside. Yet, seeing this woman still lying unconsciously, Chikara was reluctant on leaving the room. He wanted to wait until this woman woke up.
She still looked as pretty as when Chikara saw her for the first time. Only this time, there was no smile on her lips. Chikara saw there was dirt on her face, maybe from when she fell down before she fainted. He remembered the water and cloth that was brought by the servant. He looked around and saw it not so far from the door. Chikara took it before kneeling beside the woman.
He wet the cloth and began to wipe the dirt from the woman’s cheek gently. Her white pale skin looked so smooth and flawless. Chikara was amazed of this woman’s beauty. He thought, Mika was the prettiest woman in Ako. But this woman was mesmerizing and she made Chikara felt unknown feelings and desire.
When Chikara finished wiping the dirt from the woman’s cheek, he brushed a strand of her bangs away from her face so that he stared at her beautiful face. He couldn’t stop himself from touching her face. Thus, he caressed her cheek gently. What happened after he touch her face was very surprising because she was stirred from her unconscious state. Then, she opened her eyes which suddenly widened in surprised upon seeing who was kneeling beside her.
Chikara held his breath when he saw those brown orbs staring at him in shock and she tried to rise from her lying position. He quickly held her shoulder to prevent her from sitting down.
“It’s okay, we are still not sure of your condition, you should lay down again.” Chikara told her in tender voice.
“My lord..” The woman tried to refuse, voice a bit shaking, when Chikara had successfully made her to lay down again. “My lord.. You shouldn’t be doing this.” She said in a weak voice.
“What is your name?” Chikara asked without any courtesy. He had waited for too long only to get to know her name.
“Kamenashi Kazuya, My Lord..” She answered still with small voice but loud enough for Chikara to hear.
“So.. I assume you’re not from Ako, are you?” Chikara asked again.
“No, My Lord.” She told him, shaking her head weakly.
“Then what are you doing in Ako?” He sounded really curious.
She looked worried and reluctance.
“Go on.. Tell me your stories.” Chikara urged.
“I was on my trip to the capital with my guards.” She peeked from under her bangs before looking down at her hands as she began telling him the story why she was in Ako.
“Then suddenly we were obstructed by a horde of bandit.” She sighed. “We were lucky that no one get hurt, but our supplies and gold were lost.”
Poor woman, Chikara thought.
“I was glad to find out that our location when that happened wasn’t too far from your land, My Lord.” She continued, “I couldn’t continue my trip so I thought spending a few days in Ako would be great. The rumour is right after all, Ako is still beautiful despite what had happened to this city. I didn’t expect I would meet the new Lord of Ako.”
“Why are you alone? I didn’t see your guards. Where are they?” Chikara wondered what kind of guards would leave the lady wandering alone like that.
“They went to the forest to look for food but hasn’t come back since then.” She looked troubled.
“So you haven’t eaten?” He asked her who then shook her head weakly as a response.
That was probably the reason of why she fainted, Chikara assumed. “Wait here..” He told her before walking out of the room to tell the servant to bring prepare food for his guest.
When he got back to the room again, he informed her, “Because your guards haven’t come back, you can stay here until they’re back. I will order my men to search for your guards.”
“Really My Lord, you shouldn’t be doing this for me.” She looked surprised by Chikara’s offer.
“Don’t worry, Kamenashi-san. Just make yourself comfortable here. You’re now our guest.” Chikara assured her.
“Just call me Kazuya, My Lord.”
Kazuya.. Chikara repeated her name on his mind, memorizing it. Then they heard the door sliding open as the servant came in with a bowl contained of soft food prepared for the guest.
The servant put the bowl beside Kazuya and she was about to help her to eat the food when Chikara stopped her. “I’ll take care of it.” He said to the servant then took the bowl from her.
With one of his hand, he helped Kazuya to sit. But Kazuya still looked dizzy and needed someone to lean her body on. It’s impossible for Chikara to lean her on his body while feeding her. So he handed the bowl back to the servant. After that he let Kazuya to lean on his shoulder so that she would kept steady to eat her food.
Chikara signaling the servant to feed Kazuya. The servant was about to do as Chikara told when Kazuya spoke, “My Lord, I can do it by myself.”
Chikara ignored that, instead he said, “No, you’re still too weak. Let me help you.”
Kazuya didn’t argue anymore. The servant was feeding her while she lean on Chikara. Occasionally, Chikara helped her to drink the water. When she finished her food, he wiped the corner of Kazuya’s mouth. Chikara’s gave his attention fully to Kazuya and completely forgot that there was also the servant in that room who looked weirdly at his behaviour towards the guest.
The servant looked like she was busy tidying up and preparing to go out from the room. No one knew that she noted in her mind to tell what she had seen to Lady Mika. She excused herself to Chikara who only nodded and giving his attention back to the guest.
“Thank you, My Lord. I don’t know how I can repay you for your kindness.” Kazuya said when Chikara proceed to help her again to lay down.
“You don’t have to. It’s my duty to keep everyone in this land safe.” Chikara reasoned. “You should rest more so that you can go out to enjoy Ako’s beauty, it would be such a waste if you just lay down in this small room.” He continued.
“Yes, My Lord.”
“Good. I’m going to leave you alone here.” Chikara said before leaving Kazuya alone to rest.
***
“Are you sure?” Mika’s voice was heard from her room.
“Yes, My Lady.” The servant said. “I saw it with my own eyes that the guest seems so important to Lord Chikara.”
Mika was reading a book peacefully when the servant came into her room and informed her about Chikara and the guest. She already felt everything was out of place since Chikara arrived with that woman. “What makes you think like that?” She asked the servant, feeling curious.
“Lord Chikara helped her to eat, even though I offered to help her. And….” The servant paused a second.
“And?” Mika arched her eyebrow.
The servant looked troubled but she finally said, “I’m really sorry, My Lady. Lord Chikara wiped her mouth attentively.”
Mika’s eyes widened in surprised after hearing that. “Are you telling me the truth?”
“I never dare to tell you a lie, My Lady.” The servant said as she bow deeply.
“I’ll have a small talk with our guest.” Mika said before getting up and walking outside.
Arriving in front of the room prepared specially for the guest, Chikara’s guest, Mika didn’t bother to knock or inform that she wanted to enter. She slide the door open without thinking about whether the occupant was awake or still sleeping.
Sensing that someone was coming in, Kazuya opened her eyes and saw the person who stood beside her futon, Lady Mika. Feigning to be surprised of Mika’s appearance, Kazuya rose from her position to bow down deeply.
“My Lady, I’m sorry for my tardiness but I think I haven’t greeted you properly. I’m Kamenashi Kazuya” Kazuya said. “Thank you for letting me staying here.”
“It’s Lord Chikara that you should be thankful to.” Mika spoke calmly, she didn’t want to know her name. “He’s the leader of this land after all.” She reminded her.
“Ah.. Forgive me, My Lady. I forgot that Lord Chikara and Lady Mika has gotten married under the shogun order.” Kazuya bowed deeply. “Forgive me for interrupting just a day after you marriage. I even haven’t congratulated you for your marriage. It must be hard to be forced to marry someone under an order.”
Something from this woman really irked Mika but she was trying to not showing that she was upset. She tried to keep her calm facade.
“I know what I’m doing and it’s my own choice to follow the order.” Mika didn’t like the courtesy that came from the woman. “Something you should keep in my mind that he’s still so young and impulsive. All he wants to do is to help and make everyone feel comfortable in Ako.” Implying that when Chikara helped people, it wasn’t something special.
“I know that, My Lady.” Kazuya said still in her position. “It’s a great honor and luck to be helped by Lord Chikara.”
“Lift up your face.” Mika ordered Kazuya.
Kazuya did as she was ordered. She lifted her face and staring straight back at Mika. All the shy attitude seemed gone and for that moment, Mika thought that this woman would ruin the relationship between her and Chikara that they were about to begin.
“I hope you have a nice rest.” Mika hastily said. “Tomorrow you have to go from here. I will assign my guard to bring you either back to your land or go to your destination. You have to go from Ako as soon as possible.”
Mika didn’t even wait for Kazuya’s response. Soon after she said that, she left the room. She didn’t see a little smirk forming on her face.
****
Chikara was exhausted. The meeting with his subordinates about Ako’s condition just finished. Reports about agriculture, trade, shogun policy, and many other things. He hadn’t gotten used with all of this because he wasn’t trained and educated for this matter. Moreover, the image of Kazuya adding more pressure to his already chaotic mind.
Actually, the meeting would last for a night if Chikara didn’t stop his subordinates and told them to come back again tomorrow. The thought of going to Mika’s room had crossed his mind before Kazuya appeared again. He decided to order the servants to bring him sake instead. He was sure that drink would help him to release the stress at least for tonight.
Five bottles of sake were enough to make Chikara feel lightheaded. He was right, getting drunk alone could help him forgetting about his duty of Ako. He was wrong for one thing though, instead of getting rid of Kazuya from his mind, being drunk made her image even more clearer on his mind. So he drank more to get rid of her image and it still didn’t work. Kazuya’s image floating on his mind. He giggled when he saw Kazuya again in his imagination after drinking more sake. Chikara was so drunk and completely wasn’t aware of Mika who slid the door a bit to see Chikara inside.
Mika wanted to invite Chikara to her room, that’s why when she heard that the meeting had finished she decided to go to the meeting room. But what she saw definitely far from she expected. She could only sighed though. She understand getting a role as a lord was not easy. So she left quietly, leaving Chikara drunk in that room. There was still tomorrow for them to talk.
Back to drunken Chikara, it as if his body was moving on its own will. Because there was no more sake left, Chikara with his clouded and drunken mind got up and walked wobbly to outside of the room. His drunken mind guided him to a room that wasn’t Mika’s room. Then he slid the door open rather harshly. Startling the occupant, Kazuya, who was undressing herself to change to nemaki. Giving drunken Chikara a view of smooth skin from her neck down to her back.
Pushed by his inner desire and drunken mind, Chikara moved closer to Kazuya and hug her from behind. Kazuya was startled when she heard Chikara whispered on her left ear, “Kazuya..”
“My Lord..” Chikara heard Kazuya startled voice.
“Sssshh..” Chikara shut her up and began to roam his hand on Kazuya’s body. Chikara was too drunk to realize that Kazuya’s body was far different from common woman.
“Aahh.. My Lord.. Stop it.” Kazuya tried to release her body Chikara’s hold.
But the more she struggled, the more Chikara roamed her body aggressively. “Kazuya, you smell so nice.” Chikara hummed as he sniff Kazuya’s neck.
“Somebody could come and catch us..” Kazuya tried to refuse.
“Lady Mika….” She uttered before Chikara shut her with his finger on her lips.
“Sshhh… I want you, not her.” Chikara said as he turned her body to face him.
Kazuya’s protest stopped when Chikara kissed her on the lips. Chikara hummed lowly when he felt Kazuya kissed him back. But the moment was too short for him to savor those luscious lips because Kazuya detached herself from him.
“My Lord, we shouldn’t be doing this..” Kazuya reminded him, face flushed.
“Kazuya..” Chikara was trying to grab Kazuya when she heard the door being opened, revealing a female servant holding a tray of dinner.
The servant eyes widened in shock seeing the view in front of her. Kazuya was topless so she could see the flat chest and realization hit her that the guest was a man. But why Lord Chikara was there? What were they doing? Questions were running on her mind.
The corner of Kazuya’s mouth twitched when she - he - realized that his disguised was uncovered by this servant. His eyes turned bloody red and the servant who was still staring at him couldn’t move her legs. Sweat started to form on her forehead and fear began to creep on her. Then everything was happen so fast, as if being hypnotized, the servant close the door and left.
Kazuya’s eyes color turned back to shade of soft brown when he felt Chikara approaching him again. Chikara’s mind was too blurry to understand what just happened, he didn’t even realize there was a servant on the door just a several second before because he was too focused on Kazuya.
He also didn’t realize that Kazuya was a man not a woman. Lust had taken over Chikara that he couldn’t differentiate woman and man body. All he wanted right at that moment was Kazuya. He trapped Kazuya on the floor with his body and started kissing her again. Savouring those lips a little bit longer this time before moving lower to kiss her neck.
Chikara was glad Kazuya didn’t struggle. Instead, her voice aroused him more. “My Lord..” He heard Kazuya’s murmur between her ragged breathing.
Kazuya rolled over their body so that Kazuya was on top of Chikara, taking over the job for giving pleasure. Kazuya landed a deep kiss on Chikara’s lips that soon enough turn to be a battle of tongue. Settling himself on Chikara’s crotch, a smirk forming on Kazuya’s lips after feeling that Chikara’s erection was poking him.
Kazuya then rolled his hips, getting a strangled moan out of Chikara’s mouth. He began to open Chikara’s outfit and run his finger on Chikara’s chest. “Hnnngg.. My Lord.”
“Ah.. ah.. Kazuya.” Followed by a lustful moan from Kazuya. “Kazuya.. I want you…” Chikara said as he rolled over their body to make him on top of Kazuya, couldn’t wait any longer to have her. Soon enough, only moan could be heard from the room.
Both of them were too engrossed on their activity, no one realized that Mika who was about to check Chikara on the meeting room walked pass Kazuya’s room. Weird noises from inside making her curious and decided to peek.
Mika covered her mouth, eyes widened in disbelief seeing what happened inside the room. She saw Chikara on top of Kazuya, both of them moan lustfully. The way their body rock in synchronized gave her enough explanation of what they were doing. The moans they produced showed how much they enjoy their activity.
Mika could feel anger began to bubble up on her. Just few days before, Chikara couldn’t do that with her and now he was doing it with a woman he met randomly on the street. Seeing enough, Mika closed the door. To her horror, what she heard after really made her lose her patience.
“Ah.. Kazuya!” That was Chikara’s moan.
Mika hurriedly walked away from there because she didn’t want to hear anymore. Missing out the strange happening inside the room when red smoke began to appear and engulfed Chikara and Kazuya love making session. Chikara didn’t realize because he was too focused on reaching his climax. And after he did, he collapsed on top of Kazuya before drifting to a deep slumber.
Another smirk bloomed on Kazuya’s face as he patted Chikara’s head without minding Chikara fast asleep on top of him.
***
Several days later
Chikara was in the meeting room, gathering reports from his subordinates. He looked like he was paying attention and concentrating on what his subordinates told him when he was actually found it hard to focus because his mind was full of Kazuya. Then his mind flew to that eventful morning.
He woke up in Kazuya’s room, half naked, and alone. He could remember a tiny bit of what happened the night before and he was sure Kazuya was there. But then again, all felt like a dream, it was like Kazuya vanished into a thin air without leaving any trace.
Chikara had sent his guards to search Kazuya but the result was still negative. He was frustrated and had a quarrel with Mika. It was when he asked her about Kazuya’s presence, Mika’s answer was that she had extruded Kazuya from the castle.
“Why?!” Chikara couldn’t believe what he heard. “You know that she doesn’t have a place to stay and guards who could protect her.”
“You’re too impulsive, My Lord.” Mika answered with a calm voice. “She is a bad influence for you. Her arrival here has created suspicions amongst the occupants of this castle. Rumors are easy to spread in this kind of place.”
He stopped recalling that day after a familiar voice called his name, awakening him from his reverie. It sounded so distant but clear enough for Chikara to make out that the voice was calling him.
“Shhhh.. Can you all hear that?” He hushed his subordinates.
“Hear what, My Lord?” One of his subordinates asked, looking confused because he didn’t hear anything.
“Sssshh..” Chikara put his index finger on his lips, ordering all of his subordinates to be quiet and listen to the voice.
“There’s no voice, My Lord. We don’t hear anything.” His other subordinate stated.
“I’m sure I hear something.” Chikara said as he got up and proceed to leave the room.
“My Lord..” He heard the whisper was getting louder when he was outside of the room.
Chikara then walked following the direction of the voice that kept resounding on his ear. He even ignored Mika who was standing near the door to greet him. He just walked pass her, walking out of the castle to the main road.
“My lord, where are you going?” Mika followed him suit, confused why Chikara suddenly went out the room and just walked like that. Chikara didn’t respond, instead he kept walking with Mika trailing behind him calling his name. Mika didn’t know that her voice was covered by the voice that kept playing on Chikara’s ear. Feeling curious, Mika decided to follow Chikara from the distance.
“My Lord..” The voice luring him to keep walking, ignoring the people who greeted him on the street. “My Lord Chikara..” The voice dragged him outside of Ako.
Chikara was too engrossed on searching for the source of the voice that he didn’t realize he was already quite far from Ako. The voice was getting clearer and when Chikara finally took a look at his surrounding, he was almost reached the forest.
“My Lord Chikara..” The voice was pretty clear now and Chikara was sure that it was Kazuya’s voice. Hearing once again, he was certain that it came from the forest. Thus, he walked into the forest.
“Kazuya!” Chikara shouted her name. “Where are you?” He shouted again as he went deeper inside of the forest.
The voice kept resounding and it was getting so much clearer the more he walked further inside the forest. He also starting to smell the unique scent of jasmine, Kazuya. His mind told him that he was so near with Kazuya.
Following the voice and his own desire to meet Kazuya again, Chikara strode down even the difficult path in the forest until he saw a cave. He was a bit reluctant to get into that cave but the familiar scent of Kazuya hit his nostrils again and getting stronger when he walked closer to the cave entrance. He contemplated whether to get in or not. He was worried of what he would face if he got in but then his thought Kazuya who might be in danger and needed his help beat his hesitation.
“My Lord.. Help me..” The voice alerted Chikara to get in soon because Kazuya needed help.
Not too far from Chikara stood, there was Mika who had been following Chikara and she was surprised to see him entering the cave just like that. What if he was killed inside that cave. Mika thought. Mika was hesitant to follow Chikara to that cave, she was thinking to go back and order the guards to find Chikara. But it would be too late if Chikara needed help. So, she entered the cave too.
Meanwhile, Chikara was walking deeper inside the cave guided by the familiar scent and voice that sounded so clear. And when he arrived deep enough in the cave, he heard Kazuya’s voice, now very clear and close. He walked a little bit more and found a part in that cave that looked like a chamber. He sneak a peek and he was taken aback to see Kazuya slumped on the nearest wall while holding her feet, face distorted showing that she was in pain.
Chikara immediately approached her. “Kazuya!” He shouted as he moved closer to her.
“My Lord..” Kazuya responded, trying to straighten her position but failed and ended up grimacing in pain.
“What happened?” Chikara sounded worried. He held Kazuya’s face and caressed her cheek.
“I think I hurt my feet.” Kazuya answered.
Chikara checked on her feet and measured how severe it was but it turned out there was no wound there so it probably just because Kazuya accidentally sprained her ankle. That was enough to ease Chikara’s worry.
“It’s fine. I think you just sprained your ankle.” Chikara informed her.
“Thank you, My Lord.” Kazuya bowed her head low. “It seems that I always trouble you.”
“It’s fine. I’m glad you’re safe.” Chikara looked at Kazuya and lifted her face to see it clearly.
It had been always like this. Kazuya seemed always to awaken feelings and desires inside of him. There was a longing feeling inside of him that seemed to be filled by Kazuya’s presence. They ended up staring at each other deeply before Kazuya moved to seal their lips together.
A groan of satisfaction left Chikara’s throat because he finally got to taste Kazuya’s lips again. Soon after, he was drown in that kiss he didn’t realize that there was a red smoke began to appear in their surrounding. He even seemed to forget that Kazuya’s leg was sprained because lust had taken over his senses.
Kazuya was also seemed eager to devour Chikara’s lips. She even managed to straddle Chikara. Now both of them were lying on the ground with Kazuya on top of Chikara, sucking on his neck eagerly.
“Kazuya..” Chikara moaned when he felt Kazuya sucked on his neck.
“Ssshh.. Just enjoy it, My Lord..” Kazuya started moving her hips to arouse Chikara which was not a difficult thing to do because she could feel that Chikara was getting hard fast.
Kazuya’s kiss moved lower to Chikara’s chest. Then she started playing with Chikara’s clothes, opening it slowly. Holding his hand to guide it to open her kimono. Her hips didn’t stop moving to pleasure him.
After she successfully opened the kimono with Chikara’s help, she guided Chikara’s hand to play with her nipples. Blinded by lust and the effect of the smoke, Chikara didn’t realize that Kazuya was actually a he not a she. His mind still telling him that it was woman he was currently molesting.
“Kazuya.. I want you.”
“Patience, My Lord.” Kazuya said between his pant.
Both of them now were half-naked and Kazuya still didn’t satisfied with that so he moved lower to open the remaining clothes off Chikara’s body. Chikara groaned loudly when Kazuya’s hand made a direct contact with his erection.
Satisfied with Chikara’s reaction, Kazuya pumped it a few times before putting it on his mouth and began sucking. It earned a loud growl from Chikara who kept chanting Kazuya’s name. Kazuya was deep-throating him.
Kazuya stopped it when he felt that Chikara could come soon. He released it and ended it with a kiss on the tip of Chikara’s erection. Then he climbed back to Chikara’s body to give him a kiss on his lips.
"Kazuya please..." Chikara pleaded.
"Not now My Lord, not now..." Kazuya whispered on Chikara’s ear as he guided Chikara’s hand to his own erection.
“Hnnggggg…” Kazuya moaned when he felt Chikara squeezing it.
With Chikara’s hand on his erection, Kazuya began to prepare himself. He inserted his middle finger to his hole and moan to himself because of the stimulation given to him. After several times moving his finger in and out, Kazuya added more finger and began the scissoring motion.
When Kazuya felt ready for what was going to happen next, he pulled out his fingers and swat Chikara’s hand from his erection. Then he grabbed Chikara’s erection, stroking it few times before aligning the tip of it with his hole. And Kazuya carefully lowered himself down to Chikara’s erected member.
Chikara couldn’t stop himself from moaning loudly from the overwhelming feeling surrounded his erection. Kazuya tried to adjust and finally moved himself up and down, impaling Chikara’s erection deep to his hole. They moved in synchronized to seek for their release.
Kazuya kept moving his hips in a slow pace until a smirk appeared on his lips. He knew it all along that they had an intruder who hid behind the shadow and was watching their activity. If the intruder wanted to watch then might as well Kazuya gave her a great show.
He turned his head to the entrance and caught the shocked face of Mika. With his ragged breathing, Kazuya locked his eyes with Mika’s eyes. Then his eyes turned bloody red causing Mika rooted to her place, couldn’t move and forced to see Chikara and Kazuya having sex.
“Uurghh.. Kazuya.” Chikara was near his climax, Kazuya knew that.
But Kazuya prolonged it by slowing down his moves. Simply because he wanted to torture Mika. He saw hurt and deep sadness in her eyes every time Kazuya claimed Chikara’s lips for a long kiss.
“Aah..ah..ah! My Lord.. Patience..” Kazuya waited for the right time to give Chikara his release.
“Hnngg.. Kazu..” Chikara gripped Kazuya’s waist, wanting to flip them over but Kazuya pinned him down.
Thinking that it was long enough for Mika to see, Kazuya fastening his moves, urging Chikara to reach his climax and giving him the release he had been denied. When Kazuya felt Chikara tensed body as a sign that he was about to climaxing, Kazuya threw a glance at Mika’s direction before kissing Chikara’s lips.
To Mika’s horror, she saw that Kazuya was pulling out a knife out of nowhere. Kazuya stabbed him with that knife when Chikara reached his climax. The sensation from his climax was too overwhelming he almost didn’t feel the pain from the knife.
“Kazuya.. I love you.” Chikara uttered before Kazuya stabbed the knife deeper to his stomach that taking his life right away.
A tear dropped on Mika’s cheek but she still couldn’t move. With a satisfied smile, he kissed Chikara’s dead lips and look at Mika with a small smirk before vanishing into a red smoke. When he vanished, Mika could move her body again. She ran to Chikara, trying to wake him up even though her effort was futile because Chikara already died.
The knife that sticking on Chikara’s stomach caught Mika’s attention. She recognized it because she had seen it before. She saw this knife from Lord Kira’s witch. She was about to pull that knife out of Chikara’s stomach when it was magically vanished into red smoke and a voice whispered into her ear.
“For Mizuki..”
Mika’s eyes widened in recognition hearing that name. It made sense now why she felt uneasy when first time seeing Kazuya, not only Kazuya was actually a man, Kazuya also had a relation with that green witch, the caused of her father’s death. “I’m sorry.” Mika cried as she burried her face on Chikara’s cold chest.

***
Chikara had been always wanting to be a great samurai like his father. He did sword-training, showing to his father that he was determined to be a samurai. Yet, there was something in his father that Chikara couldn’t get, his father seemed reluctant to accept him as a samurai. His mother knew what Chikara wanted, she also didn’t understand why her husband hadn’t accept his son to be a samurai like him.
It was until something big happened in Ako, an incident that lead Ako to a different future. The death of Lord Asano of Ako which would also change Chikara’s destiny. His father was thrown into a deep and dark hole, Lady Mika was forced to marry Lord Kira, all samurais under Lord Asano’s leadership were turned into masterless samurais. Chikara and his mother lived outside of the castle since that day.
A year later, Chikara finally got his role when his father back and needed samurais to kill the enemy. The mission was accomplished. However, the 47 samurais must paid for what they did. They must committed seppuku. Lucky for Chikara though, the shogun let him live to continue Oishi’s family. He saw his father and other samurais died in honor. He felt a mixed feelings but when he saw his mother face, he was glad he was alive. He could protect his mother.
A day after the eventful day Chikara was summoned to the shogun chamber. When he arrived, he was surprised to see Lady Mika was there too. Then the shogun ordered them to tell him the truth behind what had happened. Both of them told the story, the true story including the witch, the dragon, everything.
The shogun stayed in silence after they finished telling the story. Chikara almost threw a question about the reason why the shogun decided to just let him live, but before he could utter what inside his mind, the shogun spoke to them.
“Chikara the son of Oishi, I appoint you to be the new leader of Ako. Together with Mika the daughter of Asano, both of you will rule Ako through the bond of marriage.” stated Shogun Tsunayoshi.
Both Chikara and Mika totally didn’t expect this. But knowing the power that the Shogun held, they perfectly understood that refusing was not a good option. Moreover, after what happened in Ako, Chikara and Mika clearly didn’t want to put more shame for their family.
Hearing no objection from both of them, The Shogun took it as an approval. “Preparation for your marriage in two days. You may leave if there’s no question.”
Two days was too soon, Chikara couldn’t believe of what he just heard. Mika was the same, but she recovered from the shock faster than him. She bowed to The Shogun before leaving the room without any words.
Finally registering of what had happened, Chikara followed her act. Bowing to The Shogun and left the room. He was still confused and felt the need to talk to Mika.
“Lady Mika.” Chikara said as he walked into Mika’s room followed by her two handmaiden.
“We can’t do anything other than following what The Shogun told us to do.” Mika rose to approach Chikara. “I’m sorry.”
If he was asked, Chikara honestly didn’t want to follow The Shogun’s order. He admired Mika for her beauty but never even once the thought of marrying her crossed his mind. He wanted to tell her that he didn’t want to, that there must be other way. He didn’t want to rule Ako, he just wanted to be a great samurai like his father.
Yet, it must be hard for Mika too, he thought. Losing her father, the only family she had, who left a huge land of Ako to be ruled wasn’t a small thing to deal with. And now with the arranged marriage. Thinking of his father loyalty to Asano’s family, Chikara suddenly didn’t have a heart to speak up his disapproval to Mika.
All he saw in Mika was a woman trying to be strong when he knew she could just broke down there and cry or something. But she was truly a daughter of Lord Asano after all.
Heaving a deep sigh, Chikara finally said a word. “Don’t apologize to me, Lady Mika. Following my father loyalty to your father. I will do what you think is right. If you decide to continue this marriage order, then I’ll do as your command.”
“Thank you. Your father must be proud of you. Ako is our main priority now, think about people in this land that still covered by deep grief because the lost of my father. Let this marriage be a thing to assure them that Ako will continue its life.” Mika’s expression showed gratefulness.
Chikara could feel that he had made the right decision.
“You don’t have to thank me for that, My Lady.” Chikara said. “It’s the only thing I can do to protect this land.” With that, he bowed to Mika and left her room.
Unsure feeling was still stay for both of them. No one knew what kind of future they were going to face. All they could do now was to prepare for the wedding, for Ako.
****
It was finally the day of Chikara and Mika’s wedding ceremony. Just like both of them, when everyone heard The Shogun announced that Lord Asano’s daughter would be marrying Oishi’s son, no one could hide their surprised. No one was expecting this turn of events. Even so, none dared to oppose The Shogun order. People could only pray that the marriage would bring good luck to the land.
The wedding ceremony wasn’t too grandiose. It’s Mika’s personal request to hold a modest wedding ceremony. She reasoned that it wasn’t appropriate to hold a fancy feast when people still mourned over the death of their leader and samurais. Chikara agreed with that and tried to focus on the ceremony while keeping his face straight throughout the ceremonial.
After hours of following the wedding ceremony, the time had finally come for Chikara and Mika to fulfill the reason of Chikara’s exemption from seppuku, to give a heir to continue the family. Chikara tried to think this as one of his duties and pray to Gods that he wouldn’t bring shame upon his family name.
It turned out to be an awkward situation for both of them though. In the room prepared for the newlywed, Chikara and Mika sat side by side, their futon lying beside them. Both of them seemed hesitate to make a first move. Chikara took his time to study Mika. Aspiring to be a samurai, Chikara spent his time learning about all the samurai codes and confucianism, he barely had time to meet girls. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to do, he just didn’t feel that way towards Mika.
As for Mika, she felt inappropriate for a lady to make a first move. But no one seemed gonna begin and the situation could last until sun rise. Thus, Mika decided to be bolder. She moved closer to Chikara, leaning her body to him and to Chikara’s surprised, Mika was kissing him.
Chikara kissed her back. He prayed in his heart that it would happen smoothly for both of them tonight. The kiss then turned to be more passionate it made them end up on futon with Chikara above Mika. Looking at Mika under him, Chikara noted that she was very pretty. She might be the prettiest woman in Ako, no wonder Kira tried so hard to get her. Yet, no matter how pretty she is, Chikara couldn’t put aside his thought that she was the daughter of his master.
However, he had gone too far to stop. He started kissing her lips again before moving lower to her neck. He heard a soft sigh escaping her lips and he could also feel her knee brushing his groin. He continued his ministration, trying to make himself hard. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t get it up. It started to frustrate him because every normal man would feel strong arousal when they had woman as pretty as Mika writhing under them. Probably Mika could feel that Chikara was thinking too hard because suddenly he felt a hand on his cheek, stopping him from what he was doing.
Chikara looked up when he heard what she said, “I think it would be better if we just sleep tonight.”
“I’m sorry My Lady.” That’s all Chikara could utter.
“You must be stressed and tired.” Mika smiled to him.
Chikara felt bad because it should had been him to comfort Mika, not the other way around. But seeing that there was no other option, he chose to lay beside Mika and gather her to his embrace. That was the least he could do for tonight.
Mika snuggled to him while his mind drifted to one day before their wedding ceremony.
Everyone in the castle was busy preparing for the wedding right after The Shogun made a public announcement. The Shogun only gave them not more than two days. For Chikara who was used to train himself with samurai-like education, wedding preparation suffocating him. Thus, he decided to take a walk. He really needed to refresh his mind. He planned to walk further, almost reaching the gate to get out of the land.
He was strolling down absentmindedly when something - or someone - catch his attention. Standing near the gate of Ako, this person wearing a kimono with colors that would catch every people attention. From the motive, ornaments, and color, Chikara was sure that the person was a woman. A sudden urge pushed him to approach her.
But before Chikara could move his legs, the person looked toward him. Giving him a complete view of her face. Her very beautiful face. Chikara was rooted on his feet. His heart beat faster when he saw the woman walked toward him.
As she came closer, Chikara smell the alluring scent of Jasmine mixed with something he couldn’t fathom radiating from the woman.
When she was already in front of him, Chikara couldn’t stop himself from checking out the pretty woman appearance. Her hair wasn’t too long, he noted. But she tied it into a small low ponytail, giving him a perfect view of her luscious milky neck. Then his eyes travelled to a pair of thin lips where he could see a small smile playing at the corner of those pink lips. He could see a glint of amusement in her soft brown eyes.
Chikara was captivated by her beauty. He heard a soft chuckled coming from those pair of pink lips, followed by a voice that awaken new feeling on him.
‘My Lord.’ She said with a husky voice.
His imagination stopped there and he felt himself getting hard. Mika opened her eyes because she felt something poking her from behind. She turned her body to face Chikara to find him already staring at her. She felt that maybe, something could happen tonight. She didn’t know what was actually on Chikara’s mind.
Suddenly overwhelmed with desire, Chikara began kissing the woman in his arms. On his mind, it was the woman he met yesterday that he was kissing right now. He kissed her harder, wanting to savour the taste of those pink lips. Then Chikara moved lower to her luscious neck, inhaling the scent imprinted on his mind. He didn’t know what had gotten into him, but he was full of lust to mark this woman as his. He bit her neck, wanting to hear that voice again.
“Chikara..” His eyes snapped open when he heard the soft moan of his name.
A totally different voice with what he expected to hear. Chikara stopped his ministration and looked up to see Mika, not the woman he met yesterday. He was hard now, perfect to continue what they were expected to do. Yet, he couldn’t stop himself from feeling guilty because it’s not Mika that he had on his mind right now, but a stranger he met yesterday.
“I’m so sorry My Lady.” Chikara looked at her apologetically before getting up and walking out of the room, leaving Mika who was too stunned to react.
Outside the room, Chikara was trying to calm himself down but everytime he closed his eyes, the image of the pretty woman he met appeared. Causing his arousal getting even harder. He couldn’t go back to Mika, he needed to take care of his problem because there was no use of trying to get rid the image anymore.
Then he remembered there was an empty room beside the room prepared for the newlywed. He immediately went to that room before anybody could see him leaving Mika alone in their room. The room was empty, there wasn’t even a futon laid on the tatami. It was obvious because no one would think that anyone would sleep there.
Chikara sat down and lean his body against the wall. When he closed his eyes, the woman came to his imagination again. Her sweet jasmine scent seduced him. He was still hard and the image at the back of his eyes made him even harder.
Without further ado, Chikara started rubbing his crotch with his right hand, trying to create friction to release him from the pain. But it wasn’t enough so he shoved his hand into his nemaki until his hand make a direct contact with his erection. He began pumping it with the image of the woman teasing him in his imagination.
The more he thought about the woman, the more he felt his arousal getting more rigid. Pumping his erection faster, he began to think that instead of his hand, it’s that woman tantalizing lips that engulfing him fully while looking at him with her pretty brown eyes. That thought only was enough to set him off, spurting his seeds to his hand.
Chikara didn’t bother to move. He stayed, trying to control his breath. He knew he was in a big trouble. He usually had a strong self-control so he wondered how a mere stranger, albeit a pretty one, could made him like this. He didn’t even know her name and only met her once. Moreover, the fact that he couldn’t do it with Mika. He felt a tinge of guilt when he thought about Mika. He didn’t mean to make her feel rejected, he hoped she understand. He would still apologize to her tomorrow though. For now, Chikara was too spent to move, he stayed there until he drifted to sleep.
***
The next morning, Chikara and Mika was having breakfast together. No one uttered a word, they ate their food in silence. Mika didn’t even lift her face when Chikara came in. Chikara planned to apologize after finishing his breakfast. But turned out, Mika finished her breakfast first and left immediately. Chikara wanted to follow her but he couldn’t because he hadn’t settled his feelings yet. He ruffled his hair and decided to take a walk outside of the castle.
Chikara changed his mind when he passed the stable. He checked on it and found his horse, he thought that it had been quite a while since he rode his horse. Besides, riding a horse would be faster than walking on his feet, it would save him time to check Ako’s situation.
Chikara pulled his horse out from the stable, brushing its fur before finally getting on the horse. He was about to mount his horse when he heard his two guards coming from him.
“My Lord, where are you going?” The shorter one asked him,
“Just want to see Ako’s condition.” Chikara answered.
“We will accompany you.” The other guard said.
Sighing, Chikara realized that now he wasn’t an ordinary samurai anymore. People saw him as the new lord of Ako. He got his own guards who would accompany him wherever he go. And because he was already too tired to argue, he nodded his head in agreement. Silently telling his two guards to get on their horses and follow him immediately.
****
Chikara was quite satisfied with Ako’s situation. Ako seemed to lose its spirit for a while but now it looked like, it had gained it back. Chikara could feel the new spirit radiating from people in Ako. The marriage wasn’t that bad after all. He only had one problem though, how to get a heir as soon as possible unless he wanted people to think weird about the newlywed. He wouldn’t want to put shame on Mika when it was clearly his fault that he couldn’t do his duty properly.
After looking around for an hour or so, Chikara decided to stop by near the riverbank. When he almost reached the riverbank, a familiar figure catched his attention. The same color of kimono and the enticing scent of jasmine that kept haunting him since the first time he breathed in. His heart started to pound faster.
Chikara then get off from his horse before walking toward her. He needed to keep his pace because he still hadn’t gotten used with his new outfit. Becoming the leader of one land not only meant power, but also meant to dress properly like a nobleman. And he didn’t want to trip on his own feet in front of that woman. He was determined to know her name today.
As he got closer to her, the woman turned her head to see him with the same small smile he saw playing on her lips like when he saw her for the first time. And when Chikara stood in front of her, the same feeling rushed through his body again.
“My lord..” She looked surprised to see Chikara approaching her and bowed her head a little to him. He heard that husky voice again. The voice that had helped him releasing the pain yesterday.
Chikara wouldn’t let this chance passed. “What are you doing here?” He asked.
She answered him with a low voice as she hung her head low as if not wanting to face Chikara directly.
“I can’t hear you. What is wrong with my face? Why don’t you talk while looking at my face?” Chikara wanted to see her face more clearly. “It’s okay to lift your face up.” He ordered in softer tone.
She finally lifted her face up and looking at Chikara. He could see her weird nose, moles under her right eye, her lips, her eyebrows, she was definitely a beauty. Chikara began to wonder why he didn’t see this woman before. Why did she have to appear like right now? Chikara asked on his mind.
Her beauty was captivating, all he needed to know was her name. When he was about to ask, Chikara was surprised to see the woman suddenly fell on her knees. He reacted immediately, holding her, preventing her to fall on the ground completely.
“Hey! Are you okay?” Chikara asked with a worried voice. But he got no response from the woman. He looked at her and noticed that she had fallen unconscious. He heard his guards rushing to him from his behind.
“Is there anything wrong, My Lord?” One of the guard asked, while the other guard had this confused expression on his face seeing his lord holding a stranger.
“Get my horse here!” Chikara demanded.
“Let me help you holding that woman, My Lord.” The guard stated that instead of getting his lord’s horse.
“I said, take my horse here!” Chikara ordered with an angry tone.
When his horse came near him, Chikara instructing his guards to help him to get the woman on the horse with him.
“But My Lord, we don’t know who she is. It’s not safe to take her to the castle.” The first guard reminded him.
However, Chikara didn’t care, he was the one to decide here. “Just do as I say.”
The two guards couldn’t oppose their master so they did his order after that. After Chikara felt that she was safe enough on the horse with him, he mounted and ride his horse not too fast even though he really wanted to reach the castle as soon as possible because he needed to make sure that this woman was safe.
Arriving at the castle with an unconscious woman certainly created a ruckus, especially when it was Chikara himself who was carrying her bridal style into the castle. He even ordered the servants to prepare the room immediately for the woman he brought in.
Chikara finally laid the unconscious woman on the futon in the room prepared for her. He was sitting beside her when he heard the door being slide open.
One of the servants asked, “My Lord, do you need a help?” She brought water and a cloth.
“No. I will call you again if I need a help.” Chikara kept his gaze on the unconscious woman, silently telling the servant to just leave the room.
The servant did as he told after putting the water and cloth on the tatami in case Chikara would need it. When there were only him and the unconscious woman again, Chikara couldn’t help but to lean closer to take a look of her face. He wondered why she stood alone near that riverbank and suddenly fainted. She didn’t even stir when Chikara laid her down. Sighing, Chikara still didn’t know her name. Nothing he could do for now other than waiting for her to wake up.
Meanwhile, inside of Mika’s chamber, she heard the ruckus from one of her handmaiden. She informed her that Lord Chikara had brought an unconscious woman from his short trip in town. No one knew who she was, not even the guard. Lord Chikara also seemed didn’t want to let anyone taking care of the woman.
Hearing the information, Mika felt the need to check by herself if it’s really like what her handmaiden told her. So she decided to visit Chikara in that room. She slide the door open quietly and saw Chikara sitting beside the unconscious woman.
Chikara noticed someone was sliding the door open so he turned his head to see who the person was. “My Lady..”
Mika knelt beside Chikara and asked him, “I heard the ruckus and my handmaiden informed me that you brought a woman here.” She casted a look to the unconscious woman.
“Who is she?” She gave Chikara a questioning look.
Chikara didn’t answer immediately because he didn’t know how to explain. But Mika’s inquiring look urged him to answer before it caused a misunderstanding. “I don’t know.”
“Then why is she here?” Mika tried to keep her face straight while asking that, even though inside she felt rather annoyed to Chikara who brought a woman just like that. But she had to hear his reason first.
“She fainted right in front of my eyes. I couldn’t just leave without helping her.” Chikara explained his reason.
“But you don’t even know who she is.” Mika told him as a matter of factly. “You don’t even know whether she is from Ako or other land, do you?” She asked again.
“You’re right, I don’t know about that too.” Chikara sighed. “But you know that she’s in our land, either she is from Ako or not, I obliged to help her, to protect her.”
Chikara was right but it still made Mika feeling peeved because Chikara could just ask to one of many servants they had to tend the woman, yet he chose to do it by himself. Mika felt neglected, but then again, their marriage was an order from the shogun not because of their own will. Despite being feeling rather annoyed, Mika didn’t really have the right to order Chikara around so she just kept her feeling to herself. She left the room without asking further question.
Chikara stayed in his position when Mika left the room. He knew that he hadn’t apologize and he needed to do that before his guilt started eating him up from inside. Yet, seeing this woman still lying unconsciously, Chikara was reluctant on leaving the room. He wanted to wait until this woman woke up.
She still looked as pretty as when Chikara saw her for the first time. Only this time, there was no smile on her lips. Chikara saw there was dirt on her face, maybe from when she fell down before she fainted. He remembered the water and cloth that was brought by the servant. He looked around and saw it not so far from the door. Chikara took it before kneeling beside the woman.
He wet the cloth and began to wipe the dirt from the woman’s cheek gently. Her white pale skin looked so smooth and flawless. Chikara was amazed of this woman’s beauty. He thought, Mika was the prettiest woman in Ako. But this woman was mesmerizing and she made Chikara felt unknown feelings and desire.
When Chikara finished wiping the dirt from the woman’s cheek, he brushed a strand of her bangs away from her face so that he stared at her beautiful face. He couldn’t stop himself from touching her face. Thus, he caressed her cheek gently. What happened after he touch her face was very surprising because she was stirred from her unconscious state. Then, she opened her eyes which suddenly widened in surprised upon seeing who was kneeling beside her.
Chikara held his breath when he saw those brown orbs staring at him in shock and she tried to rise from her lying position. He quickly held her shoulder to prevent her from sitting down.
“It’s okay, we are still not sure of your condition, you should lay down again.” Chikara told her in tender voice.
“My lord..” The woman tried to refuse, voice a bit shaking, when Chikara had successfully made her to lay down again. “My lord.. You shouldn’t be doing this.” She said in a weak voice.
“What is your name?” Chikara asked without any courtesy. He had waited for too long only to get to know her name.
“Kamenashi Kazuya, My Lord..” She answered still with small voice but loud enough for Chikara to hear.
“So.. I assume you’re not from Ako, are you?” Chikara asked again.
“No, My Lord.” She told him, shaking her head weakly.
“Then what are you doing in Ako?” He sounded really curious.
She looked worried and reluctance.
“Go on.. Tell me your stories.” Chikara urged.
“I was on my trip to the capital with my guards.” She peeked from under her bangs before looking down at her hands as she began telling him the story why she was in Ako.
“Then suddenly we were obstructed by a horde of bandit.” She sighed. “We were lucky that no one get hurt, but our supplies and gold were lost.”
Poor woman, Chikara thought.
“I was glad to find out that our location when that happened wasn’t too far from your land, My Lord.” She continued, “I couldn’t continue my trip so I thought spending a few days in Ako would be great. The rumour is right after all, Ako is still beautiful despite what had happened to this city. I didn’t expect I would meet the new Lord of Ako.”
“Why are you alone? I didn’t see your guards. Where are they?” Chikara wondered what kind of guards would leave the lady wandering alone like that.
“They went to the forest to look for food but hasn’t come back since then.” She looked troubled.
“So you haven’t eaten?” He asked her who then shook her head weakly as a response.
That was probably the reason of why she fainted, Chikara assumed. “Wait here..” He told her before walking out of the room to tell the servant to bring prepare food for his guest.
When he got back to the room again, he informed her, “Because your guards haven’t come back, you can stay here until they’re back. I will order my men to search for your guards.”
“Really My Lord, you shouldn’t be doing this for me.” She looked surprised by Chikara’s offer.
“Don’t worry, Kamenashi-san. Just make yourself comfortable here. You’re now our guest.” Chikara assured her.
“Just call me Kazuya, My Lord.”
Kazuya.. Chikara repeated her name on his mind, memorizing it. Then they heard the door sliding open as the servant came in with a bowl contained of soft food prepared for the guest.
The servant put the bowl beside Kazuya and she was about to help her to eat the food when Chikara stopped her. “I’ll take care of it.” He said to the servant then took the bowl from her.
With one of his hand, he helped Kazuya to sit. But Kazuya still looked dizzy and needed someone to lean her body on. It’s impossible for Chikara to lean her on his body while feeding her. So he handed the bowl back to the servant. After that he let Kazuya to lean on his shoulder so that she would kept steady to eat her food.
Chikara signaling the servant to feed Kazuya. The servant was about to do as Chikara told when Kazuya spoke, “My Lord, I can do it by myself.”
Chikara ignored that, instead he said, “No, you’re still too weak. Let me help you.”
Kazuya didn’t argue anymore. The servant was feeding her while she lean on Chikara. Occasionally, Chikara helped her to drink the water. When she finished her food, he wiped the corner of Kazuya’s mouth. Chikara’s gave his attention fully to Kazuya and completely forgot that there was also the servant in that room who looked weirdly at his behaviour towards the guest.
The servant looked like she was busy tidying up and preparing to go out from the room. No one knew that she noted in her mind to tell what she had seen to Lady Mika. She excused herself to Chikara who only nodded and giving his attention back to the guest.
“Thank you, My Lord. I don’t know how I can repay you for your kindness.” Kazuya said when Chikara proceed to help her again to lay down.
“You don’t have to. It’s my duty to keep everyone in this land safe.” Chikara reasoned. “You should rest more so that you can go out to enjoy Ako’s beauty, it would be such a waste if you just lay down in this small room.” He continued.
“Yes, My Lord.”
“Good. I’m going to leave you alone here.” Chikara said before leaving Kazuya alone to rest.
***
“Are you sure?” Mika’s voice was heard from her room.
“Yes, My Lady.” The servant said. “I saw it with my own eyes that the guest seems so important to Lord Chikara.”
Mika was reading a book peacefully when the servant came into her room and informed her about Chikara and the guest. She already felt everything was out of place since Chikara arrived with that woman. “What makes you think like that?” She asked the servant, feeling curious.
“Lord Chikara helped her to eat, even though I offered to help her. And….” The servant paused a second.
“And?” Mika arched her eyebrow.
The servant looked troubled but she finally said, “I’m really sorry, My Lady. Lord Chikara wiped her mouth attentively.”
Mika’s eyes widened in surprised after hearing that. “Are you telling me the truth?”
“I never dare to tell you a lie, My Lady.” The servant said as she bow deeply.
“I’ll have a small talk with our guest.” Mika said before getting up and walking outside.
Arriving in front of the room prepared specially for the guest, Chikara’s guest, Mika didn’t bother to knock or inform that she wanted to enter. She slide the door open without thinking about whether the occupant was awake or still sleeping.
Sensing that someone was coming in, Kazuya opened her eyes and saw the person who stood beside her futon, Lady Mika. Feigning to be surprised of Mika’s appearance, Kazuya rose from her position to bow down deeply.
“My Lady, I’m sorry for my tardiness but I think I haven’t greeted you properly. I’m Kamenashi Kazuya” Kazuya said. “Thank you for letting me staying here.”
“It’s Lord Chikara that you should be thankful to.” Mika spoke calmly, she didn’t want to know her name. “He’s the leader of this land after all.” She reminded her.
“Ah.. Forgive me, My Lady. I forgot that Lord Chikara and Lady Mika has gotten married under the shogun order.” Kazuya bowed deeply. “Forgive me for interrupting just a day after you marriage. I even haven’t congratulated you for your marriage. It must be hard to be forced to marry someone under an order.”
Something from this woman really irked Mika but she was trying to not showing that she was upset. She tried to keep her calm facade.
“I know what I’m doing and it’s my own choice to follow the order.” Mika didn’t like the courtesy that came from the woman. “Something you should keep in my mind that he’s still so young and impulsive. All he wants to do is to help and make everyone feel comfortable in Ako.” Implying that when Chikara helped people, it wasn’t something special.
“I know that, My Lady.” Kazuya said still in her position. “It’s a great honor and luck to be helped by Lord Chikara.”
“Lift up your face.” Mika ordered Kazuya.
Kazuya did as she was ordered. She lifted her face and staring straight back at Mika. All the shy attitude seemed gone and for that moment, Mika thought that this woman would ruin the relationship between her and Chikara that they were about to begin.
“I hope you have a nice rest.” Mika hastily said. “Tomorrow you have to go from here. I will assign my guard to bring you either back to your land or go to your destination. You have to go from Ako as soon as possible.”
Mika didn’t even wait for Kazuya’s response. Soon after she said that, she left the room. She didn’t see a little smirk forming on her face.
****
Chikara was exhausted. The meeting with his subordinates about Ako’s condition just finished. Reports about agriculture, trade, shogun policy, and many other things. He hadn’t gotten used with all of this because he wasn’t trained and educated for this matter. Moreover, the image of Kazuya adding more pressure to his already chaotic mind.
Actually, the meeting would last for a night if Chikara didn’t stop his subordinates and told them to come back again tomorrow. The thought of going to Mika’s room had crossed his mind before Kazuya appeared again. He decided to order the servants to bring him sake instead. He was sure that drink would help him to release the stress at least for tonight.
Five bottles of sake were enough to make Chikara feel lightheaded. He was right, getting drunk alone could help him forgetting about his duty of Ako. He was wrong for one thing though, instead of getting rid of Kazuya from his mind, being drunk made her image even more clearer on his mind. So he drank more to get rid of her image and it still didn’t work. Kazuya’s image floating on his mind. He giggled when he saw Kazuya again in his imagination after drinking more sake. Chikara was so drunk and completely wasn’t aware of Mika who slid the door a bit to see Chikara inside.
Mika wanted to invite Chikara to her room, that’s why when she heard that the meeting had finished she decided to go to the meeting room. But what she saw definitely far from she expected. She could only sighed though. She understand getting a role as a lord was not easy. So she left quietly, leaving Chikara drunk in that room. There was still tomorrow for them to talk.
Back to drunken Chikara, it as if his body was moving on its own will. Because there was no more sake left, Chikara with his clouded and drunken mind got up and walked wobbly to outside of the room. His drunken mind guided him to a room that wasn’t Mika’s room. Then he slid the door open rather harshly. Startling the occupant, Kazuya, who was undressing herself to change to nemaki. Giving drunken Chikara a view of smooth skin from her neck down to her back.
Pushed by his inner desire and drunken mind, Chikara moved closer to Kazuya and hug her from behind. Kazuya was startled when she heard Chikara whispered on her left ear, “Kazuya..”
“My Lord..” Chikara heard Kazuya startled voice.
“Sssshh..” Chikara shut her up and began to roam his hand on Kazuya’s body. Chikara was too drunk to realize that Kazuya’s body was far different from common woman.
“Aahh.. My Lord.. Stop it.” Kazuya tried to release her body Chikara’s hold.
But the more she struggled, the more Chikara roamed her body aggressively. “Kazuya, you smell so nice.” Chikara hummed as he sniff Kazuya’s neck.
“Somebody could come and catch us..” Kazuya tried to refuse.
“Lady Mika….” She uttered before Chikara shut her with his finger on her lips.
“Sshhh… I want you, not her.” Chikara said as he turned her body to face him.
Kazuya’s protest stopped when Chikara kissed her on the lips. Chikara hummed lowly when he felt Kazuya kissed him back. But the moment was too short for him to savor those luscious lips because Kazuya detached herself from him.
“My Lord, we shouldn’t be doing this..” Kazuya reminded him, face flushed.
“Kazuya..” Chikara was trying to grab Kazuya when she heard the door being opened, revealing a female servant holding a tray of dinner.
The servant eyes widened in shock seeing the view in front of her. Kazuya was topless so she could see the flat chest and realization hit her that the guest was a man. But why Lord Chikara was there? What were they doing? Questions were running on her mind.
The corner of Kazuya’s mouth twitched when she - he - realized that his disguised was uncovered by this servant. His eyes turned bloody red and the servant who was still staring at him couldn’t move her legs. Sweat started to form on her forehead and fear began to creep on her. Then everything was happen so fast, as if being hypnotized, the servant close the door and left.
Kazuya’s eyes color turned back to shade of soft brown when he felt Chikara approaching him again. Chikara’s mind was too blurry to understand what just happened, he didn’t even realize there was a servant on the door just a several second before because he was too focused on Kazuya.
He also didn’t realize that Kazuya was a man not a woman. Lust had taken over Chikara that he couldn’t differentiate woman and man body. All he wanted right at that moment was Kazuya. He trapped Kazuya on the floor with his body and started kissing her again. Savouring those lips a little bit longer this time before moving lower to kiss her neck.
Chikara was glad Kazuya didn’t struggle. Instead, her voice aroused him more. “My Lord..” He heard Kazuya’s murmur between her ragged breathing.
Kazuya rolled over their body so that Kazuya was on top of Chikara, taking over the job for giving pleasure. Kazuya landed a deep kiss on Chikara’s lips that soon enough turn to be a battle of tongue. Settling himself on Chikara’s crotch, a smirk forming on Kazuya’s lips after feeling that Chikara’s erection was poking him.
Kazuya then rolled his hips, getting a strangled moan out of Chikara’s mouth. He began to open Chikara’s outfit and run his finger on Chikara’s chest. “Hnnngg.. My Lord.”
“Ah.. ah.. Kazuya.” Followed by a lustful moan from Kazuya. “Kazuya.. I want you…” Chikara said as he rolled over their body to make him on top of Kazuya, couldn’t wait any longer to have her. Soon enough, only moan could be heard from the room.
Both of them were too engrossed on their activity, no one realized that Mika who was about to check Chikara on the meeting room walked pass Kazuya’s room. Weird noises from inside making her curious and decided to peek.
Mika covered her mouth, eyes widened in disbelief seeing what happened inside the room. She saw Chikara on top of Kazuya, both of them moan lustfully. The way their body rock in synchronized gave her enough explanation of what they were doing. The moans they produced showed how much they enjoy their activity.
Mika could feel anger began to bubble up on her. Just few days before, Chikara couldn’t do that with her and now he was doing it with a woman he met randomly on the street. Seeing enough, Mika closed the door. To her horror, what she heard after really made her lose her patience.
“Ah.. Kazuya!” That was Chikara’s moan.
Mika hurriedly walked away from there because she didn’t want to hear anymore. Missing out the strange happening inside the room when red smoke began to appear and engulfed Chikara and Kazuya love making session. Chikara didn’t realize because he was too focused on reaching his climax. And after he did, he collapsed on top of Kazuya before drifting to a deep slumber.
Another smirk bloomed on Kazuya’s face as he patted Chikara’s head without minding Chikara fast asleep on top of him.
***
Several days later
Chikara was in the meeting room, gathering reports from his subordinates. He looked like he was paying attention and concentrating on what his subordinates told him when he was actually found it hard to focus because his mind was full of Kazuya. Then his mind flew to that eventful morning.
He woke up in Kazuya’s room, half naked, and alone. He could remember a tiny bit of what happened the night before and he was sure Kazuya was there. But then again, all felt like a dream, it was like Kazuya vanished into a thin air without leaving any trace.
Chikara had sent his guards to search Kazuya but the result was still negative. He was frustrated and had a quarrel with Mika. It was when he asked her about Kazuya’s presence, Mika’s answer was that she had extruded Kazuya from the castle.
“Why?!” Chikara couldn’t believe what he heard. “You know that she doesn’t have a place to stay and guards who could protect her.”
“You’re too impulsive, My Lord.” Mika answered with a calm voice. “She is a bad influence for you. Her arrival here has created suspicions amongst the occupants of this castle. Rumors are easy to spread in this kind of place.”
He stopped recalling that day after a familiar voice called his name, awakening him from his reverie. It sounded so distant but clear enough for Chikara to make out that the voice was calling him.
“Shhhh.. Can you all hear that?” He hushed his subordinates.
“Hear what, My Lord?” One of his subordinates asked, looking confused because he didn’t hear anything.
“Sssshh..” Chikara put his index finger on his lips, ordering all of his subordinates to be quiet and listen to the voice.
“There’s no voice, My Lord. We don’t hear anything.” His other subordinate stated.
“I’m sure I hear something.” Chikara said as he got up and proceed to leave the room.
“My Lord..” He heard the whisper was getting louder when he was outside of the room.
Chikara then walked following the direction of the voice that kept resounding on his ear. He even ignored Mika who was standing near the door to greet him. He just walked pass her, walking out of the castle to the main road.
“My lord, where are you going?” Mika followed him suit, confused why Chikara suddenly went out the room and just walked like that. Chikara didn’t respond, instead he kept walking with Mika trailing behind him calling his name. Mika didn’t know that her voice was covered by the voice that kept playing on Chikara’s ear. Feeling curious, Mika decided to follow Chikara from the distance.
“My Lord..” The voice luring him to keep walking, ignoring the people who greeted him on the street. “My Lord Chikara..” The voice dragged him outside of Ako.
Chikara was too engrossed on searching for the source of the voice that he didn’t realize he was already quite far from Ako. The voice was getting clearer and when Chikara finally took a look at his surrounding, he was almost reached the forest.
“My Lord Chikara..” The voice was pretty clear now and Chikara was sure that it was Kazuya’s voice. Hearing once again, he was certain that it came from the forest. Thus, he walked into the forest.
“Kazuya!” Chikara shouted her name. “Where are you?” He shouted again as he went deeper inside of the forest.
The voice kept resounding and it was getting so much clearer the more he walked further inside the forest. He also starting to smell the unique scent of jasmine, Kazuya. His mind told him that he was so near with Kazuya.
Following the voice and his own desire to meet Kazuya again, Chikara strode down even the difficult path in the forest until he saw a cave. He was a bit reluctant to get into that cave but the familiar scent of Kazuya hit his nostrils again and getting stronger when he walked closer to the cave entrance. He contemplated whether to get in or not. He was worried of what he would face if he got in but then his thought Kazuya who might be in danger and needed his help beat his hesitation.
“My Lord.. Help me..” The voice alerted Chikara to get in soon because Kazuya needed help.
Not too far from Chikara stood, there was Mika who had been following Chikara and she was surprised to see him entering the cave just like that. What if he was killed inside that cave. Mika thought. Mika was hesitant to follow Chikara to that cave, she was thinking to go back and order the guards to find Chikara. But it would be too late if Chikara needed help. So, she entered the cave too.
Meanwhile, Chikara was walking deeper inside the cave guided by the familiar scent and voice that sounded so clear. And when he arrived deep enough in the cave, he heard Kazuya’s voice, now very clear and close. He walked a little bit more and found a part in that cave that looked like a chamber. He sneak a peek and he was taken aback to see Kazuya slumped on the nearest wall while holding her feet, face distorted showing that she was in pain.
Chikara immediately approached her. “Kazuya!” He shouted as he moved closer to her.
“My Lord..” Kazuya responded, trying to straighten her position but failed and ended up grimacing in pain.
“What happened?” Chikara sounded worried. He held Kazuya’s face and caressed her cheek.
“I think I hurt my feet.” Kazuya answered.
Chikara checked on her feet and measured how severe it was but it turned out there was no wound there so it probably just because Kazuya accidentally sprained her ankle. That was enough to ease Chikara’s worry.
“It’s fine. I think you just sprained your ankle.” Chikara informed her.
“Thank you, My Lord.” Kazuya bowed her head low. “It seems that I always trouble you.”
“It’s fine. I’m glad you’re safe.” Chikara looked at Kazuya and lifted her face to see it clearly.
It had been always like this. Kazuya seemed always to awaken feelings and desires inside of him. There was a longing feeling inside of him that seemed to be filled by Kazuya’s presence. They ended up staring at each other deeply before Kazuya moved to seal their lips together.
A groan of satisfaction left Chikara’s throat because he finally got to taste Kazuya’s lips again. Soon after, he was drown in that kiss he didn’t realize that there was a red smoke began to appear in their surrounding. He even seemed to forget that Kazuya’s leg was sprained because lust had taken over his senses.
Kazuya was also seemed eager to devour Chikara’s lips. She even managed to straddle Chikara. Now both of them were lying on the ground with Kazuya on top of Chikara, sucking on his neck eagerly.
“Kazuya..” Chikara moaned when he felt Kazuya sucked on his neck.
“Ssshh.. Just enjoy it, My Lord..” Kazuya started moving her hips to arouse Chikara which was not a difficult thing to do because she could feel that Chikara was getting hard fast.
Kazuya’s kiss moved lower to Chikara’s chest. Then she started playing with Chikara’s clothes, opening it slowly. Holding his hand to guide it to open her kimono. Her hips didn’t stop moving to pleasure him.
After she successfully opened the kimono with Chikara’s help, she guided Chikara’s hand to play with her nipples. Blinded by lust and the effect of the smoke, Chikara didn’t realize that Kazuya was actually a he not a she. His mind still telling him that it was woman he was currently molesting.
“Kazuya.. I want you.”
“Patience, My Lord.” Kazuya said between his pant.
Both of them now were half-naked and Kazuya still didn’t satisfied with that so he moved lower to open the remaining clothes off Chikara’s body. Chikara groaned loudly when Kazuya’s hand made a direct contact with his erection.
Satisfied with Chikara’s reaction, Kazuya pumped it a few times before putting it on his mouth and began sucking. It earned a loud growl from Chikara who kept chanting Kazuya’s name. Kazuya was deep-throating him.
Kazuya stopped it when he felt that Chikara could come soon. He released it and ended it with a kiss on the tip of Chikara’s erection. Then he climbed back to Chikara’s body to give him a kiss on his lips.
"Kazuya please..." Chikara pleaded.
"Not now My Lord, not now..." Kazuya whispered on Chikara’s ear as he guided Chikara’s hand to his own erection.
“Hnnggggg…” Kazuya moaned when he felt Chikara squeezing it.
With Chikara’s hand on his erection, Kazuya began to prepare himself. He inserted his middle finger to his hole and moan to himself because of the stimulation given to him. After several times moving his finger in and out, Kazuya added more finger and began the scissoring motion.
When Kazuya felt ready for what was going to happen next, he pulled out his fingers and swat Chikara’s hand from his erection. Then he grabbed Chikara’s erection, stroking it few times before aligning the tip of it with his hole. And Kazuya carefully lowered himself down to Chikara’s erected member.
Chikara couldn’t stop himself from moaning loudly from the overwhelming feeling surrounded his erection. Kazuya tried to adjust and finally moved himself up and down, impaling Chikara’s erection deep to his hole. They moved in synchronized to seek for their release.
Kazuya kept moving his hips in a slow pace until a smirk appeared on his lips. He knew it all along that they had an intruder who hid behind the shadow and was watching their activity. If the intruder wanted to watch then might as well Kazuya gave her a great show.
He turned his head to the entrance and caught the shocked face of Mika. With his ragged breathing, Kazuya locked his eyes with Mika’s eyes. Then his eyes turned bloody red causing Mika rooted to her place, couldn’t move and forced to see Chikara and Kazuya having sex.
“Uurghh.. Kazuya.” Chikara was near his climax, Kazuya knew that.
But Kazuya prolonged it by slowing down his moves. Simply because he wanted to torture Mika. He saw hurt and deep sadness in her eyes every time Kazuya claimed Chikara’s lips for a long kiss.
“Aah..ah..ah! My Lord.. Patience..” Kazuya waited for the right time to give Chikara his release.
“Hnngg.. Kazu..” Chikara gripped Kazuya’s waist, wanting to flip them over but Kazuya pinned him down.
Thinking that it was long enough for Mika to see, Kazuya fastening his moves, urging Chikara to reach his climax and giving him the release he had been denied. When Kazuya felt Chikara tensed body as a sign that he was about to climaxing, Kazuya threw a glance at Mika’s direction before kissing Chikara’s lips.
To Mika’s horror, she saw that Kazuya was pulling out a knife out of nowhere. Kazuya stabbed him with that knife when Chikara reached his climax. The sensation from his climax was too overwhelming he almost didn’t feel the pain from the knife.
“Kazuya.. I love you.” Chikara uttered before Kazuya stabbed the knife deeper to his stomach that taking his life right away.
A tear dropped on Mika’s cheek but she still couldn’t move. With a satisfied smile, he kissed Chikara’s dead lips and look at Mika with a small smirk before vanishing into a red smoke. When he vanished, Mika could move her body again. She ran to Chikara, trying to wake him up even though her effort was futile because Chikara already died.
The knife that sticking on Chikara’s stomach caught Mika’s attention. She recognized it because she had seen it before. She saw this knife from Lord Kira’s witch. She was about to pull that knife out of Chikara’s stomach when it was magically vanished into red smoke and a voice whispered into her ear.
“For Mizuki..”
Mika’s eyes widened in recognition hearing that name. It made sense now why she felt uneasy when first time seeing Kazuya, not only Kazuya was actually a man, Kazuya also had a relation with that green witch, the caused of her father’s death. “I’m sorry.” Mika cried as she burried her face on Chikara’s cold chest.
