Just a note: I read the book Kouga Ninja Scrolls before I ever heard anything about Basilisk, so by chance these are more based on that instead of the animation or manga. Please also note that Tenzen's character appearence in the book is much more like his appearence in Shinobi Heart Under Blade, and that's what I use more often.
Any case, please enjoy the fiction!

Weapon fell short of it's target. The master clicked his tongue at his able student before yelling at the boy to try again. Raising the scythe once more Koshirou aimed, but absently murmured, “Someday, I would like to have a wife, Tenzen-sama; what do you say to that?”
His master's reply was bitter and devoid of hope; it crushed him to the core. “We are shinobi, a normal life is beyond our reach.”
Title: The Accident (Moving a Corpse)

“That was an unfortunate accident...”
“What should we do now, Nenki!”
“Either way, we'll be in for hell when he comes back to life...”
“That's true.”
And they decided to move the corpse of Yakushiji Tenzen underneath a tree, so the sun wouldn't take its toll on such fair skin.

Characters: Tenzen and chibi!Oboro
Table/Theme: Table 5, #6 "Lost and Alone"
Rating: General Audience

His ebony hair poked from underneath the blankets, making it a specified target of the wide-eyed toddler. With a great tug the young Oboro awoke the shinobi from a dead sleep, and cried out his name.
Tenzen's eyes blazed wildly as he searched the darkness of the bedroom for the source of disturbance. “Oboro-san, what are you doing in here at this hour!”
Her eyes swelled with tears as she meekly said, “I wanted a drink an' Ogen-san is sleeping!”
Title: Weakness
Author: Freekmijnliefje
Fandom: Kouga Ninja Scrolls
Characters: Tenzen and Kagerou
Table/Theme: Table 5, #18 "Achilles' Heel"
Rating: Mature Audience
Warnings: It's Tenzen being mean to Kagerou again. It's sort of lime, I guess. Not really, just not as general as the last couple ficlets.
Disclaimer: I'm not making money from this, it all belongs to Futaro Tamada - so go buy his book everyone! (See, I'm even trying to make HIM money).
The blade pressed against bare throat until the tender pulse was beating onto the sword's metal. His violet lips curled into a hideous smile as he whispered down into her ear, “If you want you can call me 'Gennosuke'.”
At that moment she wished for the strength to tear away from him but his grip was merciless and he seemed to know her one true weakness. “G-Gennosuke?”

Characters: Tenzen and young!Gennosuke
Table/Theme: Table 5, #16 "Blue Ribbon"
Rating: General Audiences

Hatori Hanzo's meetings between the Iga of Tsubagakure and Kouga of Majindani were pointless, as was the proposed marriage between the young future leaders of the clans. At least that's what Tenzen kept telling himself and trying to convey to the others, even when Ogen-san silenced him with nothing more than a subtle glance.
Tenzen by chance met the young Kouga in Hatori's garden. The dark-haired youth held an azure ribbon in his hand and when Tenzen's bored gaze fell upon it the boy replied to the unspoken question, “It's for the princess of Tsubagakure, I've heard it will go nicely with her eyes...”
Title: A Masterpiece

Rating: Parental Guidence Suggested
Warning: It's just blood...
Disclaimer: I don't own it, just fandom it.
A message was written there.. Neither pen or paper needed but only the heart's blood of a writhing and dying victim at the end of a sword's blade.
These Kouga will learn their place. He thought with a flick of his sword a body was cleaved in half and it was covered in a crimson vine of flowers. A language all could read-
-carnage on a silk-screen wall.

“Ogen-san is dead,” He told the group that surrounded him as he read the scroll.
He resisted the urge to run his tongue across his violet lips. No more would he be held back from the urges that plagued him by that old woman. Inwardly he quivered with the delight of being able to fight and spill Kouga blood once more.
His companions knew nothing of his thoughts and all the more because they would no doubt misunderstand the lust that captured his soul.

The husky ninja glanced at the ebony-haired Tenzen, “After such a long trip I would except you guys to be starving and yet you eat like it's a bother!”
Tenzen didn't even both to reply to the obese Jousuke as he continued gnawing at his food like a grazing cow.
“Tenzen starve? That's a good one!” No sooner had the words left Rousai's lips than did he realize his mistake; Tenzen was staring at him wide-eyed and violently so the old man returned to eating with his head bowed like a beaten dog.
That's all I have right now. Also, I'm sorry if I had to do a formal sign-up for this fandom, like a claims, because I didn't see a claims listing on the site.
