Yū Watanabe POV

I can't let myself embarass, since its been this way.

"Yū! Please wait a minute!!" Riko pulled me to stop running away. I looked at her with a confuse look.

"You can't go down yet... you will be punished if you do" She said slowly.

I stopped by her grasped, her straw hat fell evidently.

"In the first place.. I shouldn't be evolve in this.. I was just a villager.." I said shaking my body while I clenched my fist.

"No.. Yū, you really don't understand! I.. don't want you to go!" Her grasp tightened on my sleeve. My heart thump when she says that.

"What do you.. mean?" I asked hesitantly, confused when she didn't want me to go.

"The Princess wasn't suppise to go out.. if he see us, it's too late.. I will be the one to talk my father..! So..." I believe her words right now, and I think its still not enough.

"I see.. hey, Hime-sama I'll take you somewhere!" I smiled.

"Somewhere..?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure you will be surprised!" I hold her wrist gently as we went down the other way which is the city.

I made her wowed at the people, and the facilities.

"A-awesome!!" She was surprised, extremely happy.

"Isn't it? Oh, we'll go back to the shrine and we'll get some food here first! I'm sure you haven't taste here..right?" I smirked.

"I-I guess not.." She smiles fakely.

"Well, you'll try one! They are extremely delicious you won't believe!" I said, I tagged her everywhere, because our hands are in sync just now.

The Princess noticed her feelings towards the samurai as she smiles, her cheeks blushed onwards.

After that, we arrived back in the shrine temple and sat on the laying log.

"That was fun" she reply, I wasn't expecting that she would enjoy. I literally thought I was the only one enjoying.

"R-really..?" I asked.

She wrapped around my arms, clinging on them as her head leans on my shoulder.

"Can I.. be honest here?" She said.
And I nodded afterwards. Focuing not to miss any words from her.

"I am have this sensitive heart that always thumps whenever I'm with you" Her voice shakes me.

D-does that mean... sh-she's in love?!

"H-how come?! Your father told me to protect you so I have to do it" I scratched my cheek embarassedly.

"I hated samurai.. but you are different, nobody can make me happy.. and smile. And talk!" She added.

"To me.. I think its a miracle, Hime-sama. I'm also glad that I've met you" I smile as well, telling her my feelings again.

"Geez.. you shouldn't say that!" She pinched my cheek, afterwards we giggle at the same time.

We just noticed that our face were closer than I thought. So we stared our eyes.

"H-hime-sama?" I flustered, I couldn't control my expression, and my body paralyzed.

She doesn't not reply, hesitantly, all of a sudden she move her head closer.

A soft kiss within their lips, locked romantically and satifying. None of them even hated their mood.

Mari Ohara POV

It's been an hour since Yū and Riko is out. Shugon is extremely worried about her daughter right now.

"Shogun..!" I couldn't finished my line when some other samurai's kneeled down towards the shogun.

"The 1st prince has arrived!!" I was surprised unexpectedly informed. I couldn't believe that as my eyebrows furrrowed.

"Is that true?" The shogun wasn't surprised at all, I am excited to see him.

He's back?

Most people in this district went out to see the 1st prince.
Timingly, Riko and Yū arrived, just not going near to the crowd.

"1st Prince.." i muttered, it was really him. Arrived with an exhausted look. He got off from the horse once he arrived.

"1st prince..!" The 1st princess strongly tighten Yū's hand.

His appearance were different, it looks like he joined a force with another district.

"Where's Shogun?" His voice surprised me. The shogun hesitantly walks showing himself.

"1st Prince, you had a very long vacation from Edo Period" The shogun said. The 1st prince didn't response to that, he bit his lip and eyes shakingly.

"I apologize, and pledged that I won't leave this place any longer!" He said boldly, and he entiredly ignore me.

No..

"Quick! You must hide!" Riko whispered to Yū.

"May I see Princess sakura?" His favor is always been accepted, people cleared the way, Riko was awfully terrified.

"Y-yes?!" Perfectly timing that Yū was able to hide.

He slowly kneel down on the floor to greet the Sakura Princess, and bowed.
The Princess flusteredly bowed her head as well.

"We'll gladly have you to join us with our dinner" The Shogun said.

Why won't you face me, Kanan?

Kanan nodded, as the family went back inside the temple, I am still contacting Kanan.

"Mari?" He muttered.

"I thought you were dead.. so my expectation from you is different." I turned around.

"Right now, its still not the time for me to be with you" Kanan said.

"Your attitude is still the same.. why won't you show me your passion?" I said that, with a teary eyes, not letting him see my desperate pity faced.

"We'll talk later" He walks towards me, his hand in touched of mine. I wasn't even expecting that.

"I am not going to leave you again" His eyes contacted mine, we looked each other as I feel myself unpleasant.

"You're still my wife" He smiles, firmly moving my hand closer to him. He literally kissed my palm and I gasped, insanely blushed.

I never thought this would happen again..

Dia Kurosawa POV

I saw Yū standing looking down, and realized.

"Hey, why were you here? Yoy were suppose to meet the 1st prince" I poke him from behind.

"..I'm not suppose to be here" I saw him crying passionately. It seems hurt for his feelings but I couldn't reach him with that.

"Who am I?"

Someome threw a shuriken from us, but it was missed.

"Shuriken?!" Dia shocked.

"You think you can say that, Nii-san" Ichika came from the rooftoop.

"Takatsuki!!" Kanan's voice can be overheard.

"1st Prince..?" Dia muttered.

Yū turned around and faced the 1st prince finally.

"Who are you?" Kanan asked.

Yū couldn't answer, it was making a scary atmosphere.

"That's my brother, 1st prince" Ichika landed down the ground.

"Hey! You're not suppose to be here-"

"Stop, he is obviously in this district." Kanan said, Yū and I gasped, we were entirely confused.

"Dia, tell me this person"

"You Watanabe, is a samurai.." I hear Kanan gasped when I mentioned the surname.

"Watanabe..?" He muttered.

"I will be a succesful samurai to protect the princess!" Somehow, Kanan was pissed

"..join us with our dinner, Ichika too. Dia you guard" Kanan said, as he went back inside the temple again.

Yū wasn't sure on what to do, Ichika and Yū went inside the castle.

Yū.. is in trouble!
The war will begin later..
If he couldn't protect the princess... he is good as dead..
