Warlords React to Clumsy MC

anon: Headcannon request for Ikesen Nobunaga, Mitsuhide, Kenshin, Hideyoshi, Masamune with an MC who is super clumsy and oblivious. Kinda like the female version of Mitsunari. THANK YOU!!!! :3

anon: Hey!!! Can I get a HC for Nobunaga, Kenshin, Mitsuhide, Masamune & Hideyoshi reaction to an MC who is super clumsy and always endangers herself, like always tripping or something xDD Thanks!!!

Alright, so I’m combining these two HCs because they’re almost the exact same (even ask for the same warlords– maybe the same person requested twice?) Also it was a bit difficult because I felt like there would be a lot of overlap in some of the warlord’s behaviors, but I tried my best. Anywho, I hope you enjoy them!

Nobunaga

Nobunaga is going to have a difficult time understanding how this woman (of all the people in the world) saved him from the deadly assassin. She can barely walk without tripping over her two feet, so he’s confused as to how she protected the warlord in the fire. Nevertheless, her clumsiness and angelic behavior prove to Nobunaga that she can’t be much of a threat and genuinely has his best interests at heart.

The warlord has a hard time flirting with MC (or showing any other form of attraction) because Nobunaga’s flirting often goes over MC’s head. She interprets his flirting as friendly comments that come with his charismatic and authoritative personality. However, this doesn’t bother him too much. Instead, he makes his moves in a direct manner and clearly paints the correct image in MC’s head. Poor MC can’t hide the red flush on her cheeks, which only increase’s Nobunaga’s teasing.

This MC is not ready for Nobunaga’s games of strip go. When the warlord first mentioned the idea, she didn’t realize that she’d actually have to take off her clothes. She thought the warlord was joking around. A few rounds later and our poor girl is trying to salvage her purity by peeling off her socks instead of her undergarments. It doesn’t make it any better that Nobunaga can read her like a book, so he knows her next moves.

When Nobunaga takes her to the battlefield as his good luck charm, he’s aware that she can become a major liability. That’s why he always keeps her close when there’s no activity. When he’s out on the front lines, she is protected by special guards at all times.

He also uses MC’s clumsiness to keep his hands around her. He’ll tell everyone that he’s simply doing it to protect her, but the smirk on his face suggests otherwise. Nevertheless, MC has no issue with his overly-affectionate gestures because there’s no such thing as being “too loving” in her eyes.

Mitsuhide

Mitsuhide would have the TIME OF HIS LIFE messing around with MC. She’s clumsy, oblivious, and basically Mitsunari 2.0? If you ask him, she’s the perfect target for his shenanigans (of course he’ll deny his schemes with a questionable attitude).

When our residential snake corners poor MC for his tantalizing flirting, she’ll assume it’s for some friendly conversation. Although the look in Mitsuhide’s smirk literally screams DANGER, this MC will have no problem talking to him. In her eyes, there’s nothing romantic or cheeky about his approach– just typical Mitushide behavior.

She wouldn’t even realize that Mitsuhide was teasing her until the other warlords give her a detailed explanation with proof.

Despite all his teasing, Mitsuhide would most likely keep this MC at a distance (especially if there was a budding romance). He wouldn’t want to corrupt her childish innocence because it would only bring his misfortune and sadness. Mitsuhide wouldn’t want to be the reason that she returned back home in pieces.

However, this beloved MC would manage to grab his heart with all her kindness. She’s aware that he’s done some wrongs, but he can always turn a new leaf if he has the right intentions. She’ll go out of her way to help him fix his moral compass because it’s her duty as his friend. However, only Mitsuhide himself can bring about the change to his moral compass.

Throughout their journey, MC is bound to find herself in trouble. However, she won’t run into too many external problems because Mitsuhide tends to resolve the problem before it escalates. Whether it be with his sharp words or his accurate gunshots, there’s not much of an issue here. He’s always keeping an eye on her to ensure she doesn’t entangle herself in something dangerous.

Kenshin

When Kenshin first meets MC, he is surprised that she is the chatelaine of Nobunaga’s palace. He immediately notices her clumsy demeanor as she bumps into the corners of the market stall. She’s dropping fruits from her arms as her other bags fall from her arm. How could the leader of the Oda forces trust someone like that to take care of his palace?

However, he finds himself drawn (both voluntary and involuntarily) towards MC. There’s an undeniable charm in her sincere and innocent attitude. The god of war doesn’t have to worry about being attacked, betrayal, or other darker behavior. By talking to her, he can relax and let his guard drop once in a while.

As MC skips around, humming her favorite tune, Kenshin can’t help but watch with soft eyes. All the time he spent with her was chipping away at his frozen heart, revealing that there was something underneath. If you looked closely, you could even see the corners of his lips tugging upwards.

The cage era in Kenshin’s route is definitely going to last longer with this MC. Because she’s so trusting, oblivious, and unwilling to be rude to Kenshin, it takes her much longer to vocalize that this imprisonment is unfair to her. To make things worse, Kenshin feels the need to constantly keep MC under his watch because she’s a walking target.

With due time, she’ll find her way out of the cage without hurting Kenshin’s feelings. However, he’ll still feel responsible for keeping her safe. He constantly has his arm around her or will be walking behind her for safety reasons. Every time MC notes that someone was being rude or perverted towards her, Kenshin makes a mental note to pay them a lovely visit later.

His heart melts when he sees her playing with the soft bunnies! The two most adorable beings have somehow united under his roof and the only threat MC faces here is the barrage of bunnies that might topple her over. However, there’s nothing but a smile on her face as she’s swallowed by the crowd of bunnies.

Masamune

May the lord have mercy on this MC

Between Mitsuhide and Masamune, I feel like Masamune would be worse in terms of bugging MC. His attempts to hit on her are so direct that even oblivious MC cannot ignore his attempts. And whenever she tries to play dumb, Masamune sees through her and amps up his flirty attitude.

Don’t be surprised if she happened to trip over a stick in the middle of her conversation and he caught her perfectly in her arms. Our one-eyed dragon is ALWAYS looking for these convenient moments to swoop in and save MC. Plus, its a bonus to watch her cheeks flush as he holds her against his muscular chest.

However, its not all doom-and-gloom around this warlord. He’s always making mental notes about her favorite foods, especially sweets. Whenever he has free time or MC is feeling down, Masamune goes the extra mile to make her favorite dishes (down to the smallest details). If there’s less time, he’ll just make a bunch of sweets because they remind him of the sweetness of his lover.

You know how the sweet girl gets kidnapped by the evil bad guys, only to be saved by the oh-so-handsome lead male? That’s exactly what Masamune expects and tries to do every time that MC gets herself into hot water. For the first few times, MC is extremely grateful, but she soon realizes that she needs to learn to defend herself the next time someone tries to hurt her.

After lots of persuasion, Masamune agrees to teach her some self-defense techniques. Earnest MC tries her best to keep up with his moves, but she stumbles over from the force of her own kick. Masamune can’t help but laugh when she trips over her feet, but he’s always ready to help her get back up.

Not-so-earnest Masamune also uses these training as opportunities to get close and personal. He’ll grab her by the wrist and spin her to his chest. A soft smirk will rest on his lips, alluding to something more.

Hideyoshi

You know that period where Hideyoshi mistrusts MC because he thinks that she might be a threat to Nobunaga? Well, that probably doesn’t exist here. The longest it might last is about a few hours? Maybe a day? That’s because the moment he talks to MC, the warlord realizes that this MC wouldn’t be able to hurt a fly. In fact, he’s never met a female who literally embodies a cinnamon roll.

Hideyoshi has a heart attack every thirty seconds around this MC. There’s so much that could go wrong in such a short amount of time, so he always holds her hand whenever they go outside. Besides, the warmth in her hands only made it more tempting to keep his hand in her’s.

This man would shower MC with the cutest gifts on the planet. Whether it’s an ornate necklace or adorable little desserts, Hideyoshi would feel the need to constantly spoil MC. She could ask for almost anything and he’d rush to get it.

MC always wants to help out Hideyoshi because he can be quite swamped with work, but he’s a bit hesitant to let her around his stuff simply because she has the tendency to drop everything. Instead, he assigns her to duties that rely on her strengths, such as designing a new kimono for him.

When he’s out on the front lines, MC always lingers at the back of his mind. Is she alright? Have the warlords been bothering her or making any moves on her? While it stresses him out, it also provides the warlord with the motivation to return safely and soundly to his beloved.

Do you remember those women who constantly flirt with Hideyoshi? Well, they’d approach Hideyoshi and MC as the couple walk through the markets, fawning over the warlord. Poor MC sees them and immediately assumes they’re Hideyoshi’s good friends. Hideyoshi himself has to politely decline the invites of these thirsty brats, explaining to MC that they aren’t as friendly as they look.

Warlords & chronically ill MC

Featuring: Masamune, Kenshin, Hideyoshi (in that order).

Chronic illness: atopic dermatitis. Usually, it affects mostly children and by the time they reach puberty, it’s gone. However, it isn’t uncommon for it to come back in the adulthood and then it isn’t exactly certain when it could go away. There isn’t a single known cure, all treatments just work to get the symptoms under control. The symptoms include intense itching, red, inflamed skin, red rashes and skin dryness. The inflamed parts of the skin oftentimes become wounds if scratched (and they do itch like hell, so having some scabs is rather ordinary). It can be worsened by stress, contact with allergens, lack of moisturisers, sweat.

Masamune

It would probably start as a small rash on her forearm. She didn’t pay much mind to it, as it could easily be just some minor allergy or skin irritation.

However, when it spread to the inside of her elbow and started getting itchy, she knew what would happen.

In just a couple of weeks, the inflammation spread to her neck and the bottom of her face, marking them in red patches.

She was terrified - not only she didn’t have access to modern medicine, but the threat of being bullied again seemed just too real for her.

Masamune wanted to call for a doctor as soon as the inflammation started to spread, but she refused. She explained to him what was happening to her and what possibly could help.

For a brief time, Masamune cursed the lack of the access to modern medicine. However, he scolded himself for that, as worries wouldn’t help in easing her pain at all.

Masamune would ask Ieyasu for help in regards to finding some moisturizer. If MC scratched too much and the scabs started getting too big, almost wound-like, he’d help keep them clean, so she wouldn’t get an infection. He knew using cold water to ease the inflammation could be painful, so he wanted to be there for her. He’d also help her with things like washing her hair or putting moisturiser in places she couldn’t easily reach.

However, most of all, he’d remind her constantly why he loved her. He’d remind her that her physical beauty was just a part of a greater gorgeousness - her mind, her ideals, her way of thinking and everything that made her herself. And so what, if she got scarred? He had scars too.

“But yours come from the battles”. “From what you told me, isn’t your body fighting with itself? Kitten, I’d be damned if I thought that to be easier than battling against physical enemy”.

He would hold her tight and remind her of how precious she is to him with many, many kisses.

However, he knew MC’s concerns regarding the opinion of others weren’t unfounded. It was brought to his attention during the meeting that any heir bore by her could possibly inherit her condition and as such, she may not be a suitable match for marriage.

“As you say it, I understand you imply that the heir should be of perfect physical condition?” “Yes, my lord”. “Am I not suited to be the lord of Oshu, then?”, he replied, taking off his eyepatch. “ I need no fools for the advisors”.

Kenshin

He would notice it as soon as it started. However, he didn’t know exactly what was happening and just listened to MC saying it’s most probably nothing (though he did need to fight the urge to eradicate every possible cause).

As the inflammation spread, he got progressively more panicked and worried (to the point of looking for fault in himself), until it clicked for MC - she knew what was happening. She had the name for the disease, and although there was no cure, she could promise him it wasn’t deadly. She’d be extra careful to explain what she knew about the condition in as detailed and understandable way as possible.

That eased Kenshin’s worry a bit. Even if knowing he couldn’t eradicate the cause of her condition right away made him feel somewhat powerless, it was soothing to know it will get better with time. Having acknowledged he couldn’t solve it for her, he’d decide to at the very least make it more bearable.

He’d try to find more time for her, to take her mind off of her appearance and how itchy everything was - rides, drinking together, moon viewing and what not.

He’d made sure to prevent her from overworking, probably even asking Sasuke to keep an eye out for her, if he couldn’t do it himself.

He’d also remind her constantly that no matter what, he wouldn’t stop loving her just because of something so minor.

However, he did feel the panic set in once the scratching got too intensive and the scabs were more resembling of small wounds than anything else.

The fact that bandaging it properly just made the inflammation worse didn’t help him either. Once again, he felt powerless.

The itching would probably get worse during the evening and the night. Initially, Kenshin wouldn’t react to her scratching a bit, but once he saw her blood that was it. He’d hold her against himself in a way, that wouldn’t allow her to further damage her skin. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it would feel like going insane).

“I’ll protect you from anything and anybody, including yourself”.

He’d definitely seek help from others - Sasuke, physicians, maybe even write to Nobunaga. If he had to, he’d search the whole world to find something, anything.

If anything changed in the way he loved her, he would just become more tender, hoping that he could convey his feelings with action rather than words.

Nobody would be foolish and suicidal enough to suggest MC wasn’t a suitable match for him anymore. He wouldn’t kill them, noo. He’d just scare them to death (probably with glaring and spreading a murderous aura alone).

Hideyoshi

Mamayoshi mode activated.

If MC brushed it off as just a rash, he’d believe her, but remind her to be careful. He’d also ask Ieyasu for some medicine.

As it progressively got worse, he became more and more worried. Initially, neither of them knew what was going on and nothing seemed to work, which bothered him greatly. However, it all passed once she realised it was atopic dermatitis - even though it hadn’t troubled her for years, she still more or less remembered what to do.

She stressed that even in future, there was no known cure for it and all the treatments were focused on easing the symptoms. This would spring Hideyoshi into action.

As happy as he was for her commissions taking off, he’d encourage her to take at least a week off to rest.

Without a second thought, he’d scold Nobunaga for having her overwork herself. I suppose he’d request him to assist her some aide as well.

He’d also try to rush through his work. It would be hard for him to find a balance between his personal life and loyalty to his lord, but he would manage.

He’d make sure that nobody would tease MC about her condition.

Hideyoshi would definitely try to assist her through her struggle in every possible way - he’d make sure she ate well and rested, he’d try to help her sort out the workload, he’d remind her to moisturise her skin, he’d gently stop her from scratching absent-mindedly.

Not much would change in the way he treated her - he’d still be protective, caring and patient. Since she said the inflammation would go away with time, he trusted her with that. Though, seeing the scabs forming in the insides of her elbows and on her neck hurt him. If anything, seeing how she dealt with having her appearance change almost daily, made him even more aware of how strong she was. (To be forced to just look at your body wreaking itself, without any means of stopping it, and yet still continue living? That’s impressive).

He’d constantly remind her that no change to her appearance could ever sway his feelings. This, along with soft kisses, would really put her mind at ease during the days she especially loathed herself.

Even if her condition was to last, he had already accepted her and would only hope to be able to reduce her pain.

“No illness would make you less precious to me. No arguing”.

I’m almost certain he’d be so good at stopping her from scratching she wouldn’t cause herself any wounds.

HC #7

Hi everyone, here’s the next set of HC’s. One of our admins is currently unable to write for the blog so it’s just me :) Thanks for your patience while I try to balance my job, other blog, and these requests.

Best, T~

Request: Headcanon of MC telling Masamune and Mitsuhide and Nobunaga and Hideyoshi that she’s a ballerina and dancing ballet for them? Thank you!

Masamune

This is a man who’s always up for a challenge, so the moment you tell him about this thing you can do. That’s crazy awesome looking and from the future he insists you teach him.

Holy shit does that go so wrong

Sure he’s nible and swift but Masamune is by no means graceful and you catch yourself laughing every time he stomps around the gardens.

At first you thought it was because he was tripping over his haori, but no sort of adjustment seemed to help him. He would just clunk around.

Eventually he resolved to just watching you. Made sure to bring snacks for you to munch on after you are finished.

He had always been hungry after the lessons so this was the best solution to help you keep in shape.

Made one too many comments about how this explained your flexibility while others could hear and you may or may not have given him a swift kick in the butt.

Mitsuhide

Ballet? Why had he heard of that before? Mitsuhide blinked at you slowly a few times when you had explained what you were doing.

It wasn’t until he heard a conversation between two foreigners that realized where. So you knew how to do that new foreign dance.

He had to see what it was for himself.

Curiosity had lead him to seeking you out originally, but after the fourth dance he was enraptured.

You movements were fluid and smooth but told a story of sorts. It was no wonder then men in town had been enraptured by the prospect of seeing a dance such as this.

Asked too many questions disguised as teasing until you finally threatened to stop dancing for him.

He relented, now Mitsuhide sits quietly while you practice.

Nobunaga

It comes up after he does a dance of his own. Meant to bolster the troops spirits before battle.

You can do your own dance? Interesting, he has to see it.

Happily, you oblige, performing your favorite combinations from a performance you had done in college.

Nobunaga sat silently, eyes filled with adoration and pride.

It was beautiful, you were beautiful.

When everyone came back he made sure to have them gathered in the Great Hall. There both of you performed for his troops as a thank you for their service in battle.

From then on he learned from you and you from him. Working together to create your own dance together.

Hideyoshi

At first he’s confused, but as long as it’s not dangerous, he’s all for you using the room to practice. It was just dancing, how harmful could it be.

The moment you leg stretched all the way above your head his heart rate accelerated. Nobody should be able to bend like that

Though it did explain a little more in the bedroom. He watched in awe as you did the splits.

Eventually he couldn’t not say anything, asking you a question every time you did a new move. You smiled and explained them as you did them.

When you asked if he wanted to try he balked, he was surely not that flexible. He would hurt himself, then he wouldn’t be of use to you or Nobunaga.

Content to sit and watch you practice, he feels it’s a rather intimate thing to experience with the way your body seems to float and glide over the tatami so he doesn’t like to share.

Always makes sure you have enough wrap for your ankles and water to drink. He doesn’t want you to hurt or over-exert yourself.

Nobunaga, Mitsuhide, and Kenshin React to Their Toddler Being Protective of MC

AAAHHHHHHHH OUR FIRST REQUEST!!! We hope you like what we wrote anon, and thank you for the request! Yours truly, Vague and Buffy <3

Nobunaga

Nobunaga and MC’s son was at the bright age of 3 years old, and was becoming more like his father everyday. Apart from his hazel eyes, their little boy was Nobunaga’s spitting image. Not only in looks but in his overall demeanor.

MC absolutely adored her child. Similarly to his father, the little boy never hesitated in showing her his affection.

The day had begun normally, MC had woken up to see her beloved husband resting beside her. She giggled quietly as she saw him fast asleep with his arms wrapped around her. His mouth was slightly agape and hair all messed up from the night’s prior events.

She was admiring his beauty and his eyes slowly began to open.

“Were you watching me princess?” Nobunaga questioned with a smirk, his voice deep and scratchy.

“Maybe,” MC replied with a grin. And with that, the devil himself got up and pinned her against the futon.

“It looks like you’re not satisfied after last night” he growled playfully as he began kissing up her neck.

Soon he stopped and looked MC in the eyes, “I love you, Fireball.”

He leaned in to seal their lips when—— BAM!

“MAMA!!” the door had been dramatically slid open to reveal their toddler standing in the doorway.

MC jumped at the noise and slammed her head into Nobunaga’s leaving a bright red mark.

“Aaa-HHah, sweetie, what wrong?!!” MC scrambled to her feet blushing, and quickly ran up to her child.

“MAMA!” He stuffed his face into his mom’s stomach. She kneeled down, and comforted her child.

“What happened?” She was prepared for the classic “there’s a ghost next to my futon” or “Ieyasu’s in my closet again!”

But what she wasn’t expecting was her child to point at Nobunaga.

“What about your papa, son?”

“He’s hurting you!” Her son finally stepped back from his mother’s stomach, Nobunaga fell to his knees and started laughing hysterically.

“Oh, no honey papa’s not hurting me!” Her son carefully inspected her. She helped him by lifting her arms so he can check them, considering her son would probably break his spine attempting to lift them up.

“I guess you’re fine…” He concluded then said, “Papa!”

“Stop hurting her at night, papa!” her son stepped towards his dad, “I keep hearing her yelling because she’s in pain!” Nobunaga was officially deceased by how hard he was laughing.

“Daddy will not hurt me anymore, son,” Satisfied with the answer, her son nodded and left the room to go play with Ieyasu’s son.

As he left, Nobunaga recovered from his fit of laughter and said, “So I’m daddy now, huh?” MC gave him a sweet smile, and elbowed him in the stomach.

“Be a good daddy and do your work,” MC walked out the door, showing no mercy for her husband.

“Heh… that’s my family right there,” Nobunaga said before he passed from the pain. Apparently, his wife accidentally caused internal bleeding. What fun.

Kenshin

Similarly to Nobunaga, Kenshin’s little boy looked exactly like his father. Even down to the mismatched eyes.

However, MC’s son shared his personality with his mother, except for this particular day…

The morning began with MC making her usual trip to the market, this time bringing along her son instead of her husband. As they walked, MC repeated the events that had previously occurred.

“Listen, son.” Kenshin kneeled down and looked his child straight in the eyes.

“You may accompany your mother to town instead of me today” the little boy’s eyes began to gleam.

“BUT,” Kenshin’s eyes hardened, “you must protect her!”

The little boy nodded vigorously, “YES PAPA!!!”

MC sighed to herself and was brought back to the present time.

At the shops, her son was pulling her along and giving dirty stares to anyone who passed by him. His mom repeatedly apologizes to the offended people that went by them.

“Let’s see the fish is on sale today!” His mom scooped him up. Even though Kenshin was rich, MC still felt weird lashing out on various things since she didn’t have this much money when she was living in the future. She had always done the most on the cheapest.

“Put me down, I have to protect you!”

She nervously chuckled and said, “You can protect me up here from the pesky flies that hurt my face.”

His face lit up and determination filled his eyes, “Okay!” She laughed at her son’s antics and his willingness to help her, even though he’s afraid of bugs.

They walked to where they sold fish, and MC put her son down. She started looking for the cheapest fish, and the shopkeeper came out.

“I’m sorry sir, is there any sale for this?” She pointed at the already cheap fish. The shopkeeper eyed her up and down.

“No… but I can make an exception for you,” he winked at her.

He then quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.

“Let me go!” MC squeaked. Her son jumped to action, even if he was four feet shorter than the shopkeeper.

“Don’t hurt my mama!” He growled.

“What is a little runt going to do?” the shopkeeper smirked.

“STOP!” He started hitting the shopkeeper and when it didn’t work, he angrily looked at the shopkeeper.

“Don’t hurt my mama!” He said again, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, “really?! What are you going to do-”

He suddenly let go of MC and she ran and held her son close. She quickly left the store, and started walking back.

“See I protected you, mama!” She smiled and nodded, then looked back at the fish store. She noticed Kenshin coming out of the store and smiling, with blood all over his kimono.

“Yes, you did my child,” She lifted him up and started peppering his face with kisses. He started laughing as Kenshin came behind them and smiled.

“I got some expensive fish for us to feast tonight,” MC rolled her eyes and smiled while Kenshin continued, “Turns out the shopkeeper was just handing them out.”

Mitsuhide (Crackhead energy ahead :D)

MC had just finished the last of her work and headed back to her shared room to find Mitsuhide.

As she was about to turn into the room, she bumped into the sly fox himself.

“Well little mouse, it seems you have finally finished” he said with a grin as he slowly pushed her against the wall.

Mitsuhide and MC leaned toward each other and fell into a passionate kiss. Ever since their son was born, they couldn’t love each other as often since they both had responsibilities. Nothing could break this loving moment… until a small voice said:

“What the fuck guys?”

MC quickly pulled away from the kiss and whipped her head at her child. “SON!”

Her face turned dark pink as she slowly turned back to look at her, surprisingly petrified husband.

She looked him dead in the eyes and angrily whispered, “This is your teaching moment, papa,” she coldly walked away into their room down the hall. Mitsuhide was usually the one making people shiver in fear, so he found it strange when goosebumps covered his arm.

“What the fuck, man” Mitsuhide kneeled down to his son.

“Isn’t ‘fuck’ a good word? Everytime you tell mom that she gets super happy,” Mitsuhide felt his soul slither out of him. His son gave him a sly smirk. For a three year old, he was picking onto Mitsuhide’s personality everyday.

(A/n: we lowkey died laughing making this (〃＾▽＾〃)

Hi! Could you do HC’s for Ikesen (whichever warlords you choose) on a snowy day with mc?

Happily despite the fact that it is so late and out of season because of my procrastination habits!

Mitsuhide

He seems initially indifferent to the snow

He will finish his work early to spend the snow day with MC though because he would hate to miss out on the opportunity to see MC mess around in the snow

He’d be mindful of how much time MC spends out in the snow because he doesn’t want her to get sick

When MC pushes him to join in on the activities he’ll do so, but make it seem as though he’s reluctant to join

Mitsuhide would think it is funny if his snow creations came out perfect while MC’s came out a bit off the target from what MC had in mind

He would tease MC about it then remind them that things like this come easily to kitsunes

Once the temperature drops he’ll deem it time to go inside for tea which he makes as perfect as his snow angel, or snow warlord as MC would call it

He’d cuddle with MC and share a few old legends about winter and the snow.

Mitsuhide knows MC is from the future, so he’d be more apt to asking about future ideas and traditions

He’s interested in celebrating the holidays MC seems most excited for and makes a note to contact a certain ceiling ninja on the matter soon

Mitsuhide definitely wants to spend more snow days together with MC just like this

Kenshin

Snowball fight? Fight? MC was challenging Kenshin to a fight?

Kenshin would normally refrain from fighting his precious goddess of war, but he’d make an exception on this snowy day.

He eventually drags everyone else into the snowball fight and before MC realizes there are full on forts set up and it is her versus Kenshin and his vassals with Yukimura and Shingen on MC’s side

The snowball fight doesn’t end for a while because no one wants to admit defeat, but Sauske solves this problem by suggesting they go inside and change them drink to the first snow fall.

This wins over Kenshin immediately. MC gifted him a new yukata and haori recently that would be perfect for the occasion

Kenshin will seek out MC and sit down with her a bit before the impromptu drinking session, describing both the beauty and potential treachery of the snow and ice

MC didn’t want to demonstrate a snow angel in her new kimono, so she settled for drawing cute images in the snow

Kenshin would hum and watch attentively, even daring to put a few of his own designs in the snow, mostly of the rabbits.

At dinner MC would stick close to Kenshin and enjoy the crisp coldness of the room while Kenshin would periodically make sure she hasn’t gotten too cold

Overall, Kenshin enjoys the snow with MC but has taken to randomly ambushing people with snowballs (“thanks, MC” Yukimura says sarcastically at least twice a day)

MC is just happy to see Kenshin loosen up a bit, that is until he begins to bring his sword to snowball fights.

Mitsunari

Mitsunari is fascinated with MC’s excitement at the amount of snow on the ground from the previous night

When MC goes racing outside to throw herself into the snow, Mitsunari is right behind her

Hideyoshi hears the ruckus and gives a warning about catching colds and not getting carried away,

MC promises to heed his warning, but he doesn’t seem very trusting as MC was already in the process of explaining snowmen to Mitsunari

With Mitsunari’s help the perfect snowman was crafted, but was somehow missing something

What could it have been?

Ah, yes a pipe!

“Won’t Lord Hideyoshi mind?” Mitsunari asks

“I’m sure he’ll be fine.” MC lie

Once Hideyoshi realizes his pipe is missing he tracks down the culprits along with the ever amused Mitsuhide and Masamune

MC insists that the pipe is necessary because without it the snowman cannot come to life

They are all very confused and at this point, Ieyasu, who had only come to borrow a book from Mitsunari had gotten dragged into the chaos as MC told the story of Frosty the Snowman.

Mitsunari was zeroed in on this tale and at the end, the warlords challenged it and claimed there was no way such a thing had happened.

MC sang the song and insisted it was a big deal in her hometown.

Eventually this leads them to sharing the story with Lord Nobunaga who found it amusing

Mitsunari found himself a wee bit jealous of how much time MC had spent with the other warlords and claimed that he and MC had spent so much time in the snow it would we be best if they went back home to change

After changing Mitsunari asked if MC knew any other stories about winter from her hometown, and that was how Mitsunari learned the story of the Grinch, Rudolph, and Jack Skellington

Mitsunari enjoyed listening to MC tell stories and when more snow began to fall, despite his usual resistance to sleep he fell into a quiet slumber, draping himself over MC

Hi! Just found your blog! Can I perhaps request HCs of all IkeSen suitors reacting and interacting with their newly born daughter, who happens to look just like her father? If not all suitors, then Mitsuhide, Masamune, Iyeasu, Kenshin and Nobunaga! Thanks in advance! Have an amazing day!💖

This request is so cute ❤❤. Thank you for dropping by friend, hope you like the writing. Sorry for the wait honey, this ask has been in my inbox for ages!

Ikemen Sengoku spending time with their daughter

Mitsuhide Akechi:

After a long pregnancy, both you and Mitsuhide were eager to meet your daughter.

She had soft white hair and beautiful pale eyes just like her father.

Mitsuhide's eyes watered as he gazed at both of you affectionately, your small baby being the product of your love.

She was named Mira Akechi and had the cutest voice as a kid.

She absolutely adored Chimaki and loved how the fox snuggled up to her when it was bored or just wanted pets.

Mitsuhide was a very precious dad, be it just talking about the castle or braiding Mira's hair.

He even let her put flowers in his hair once which made her laugh and squeal with joy.

Her favourite moment of the day was when her dad would sit down beside her and polish his Tanegashima while he talked about the history of Japan.

Honestly speaking watching the father-daughter duo, was so heartwarming it even made Ieyasu soft.

Masamune Date :

Masamune clearly had the most energetic daughter one could ask for.

She had blue eyes and chestcut coloured hair just like her dad.

She was named Iraka Date and had the most mischievous grin you've seen.

She loved telling her dad all sorts of fairytales she came up with and Masamune listens to them with the curiosity of a cat.

Cuddling with her parents before bedtime is a must and anyone could see you three huddled up in blankets, listening to yet another one of Iraka's stories.

She fancied Hideyoshi among all her other uncles since he was so caring and sweet.

Scolded Masamune once for trying to prank Yoshi.

She asks her dad if she could marry Hideyoshi when she grew up, while the embarrassed warlord hid his face between his hands.

Blushes when Masamune jokingly calls Hideyoshi his son in law. *Cue smirking Mitsuhide*

Ieyasu Tokugawa :

People would have expected Ieyasu's daughter to have his attitude but she was the coolest kid one would ever know.

But she was also very curious.

She would often ask what would happen if the sun turned blue, or if she just ate one more dumpling-

She had fluffy blonde hair and a pair of green eyes like her father.

Ieyasu named her Lae Tokugawa.

She had shown interest in medicine from a very young age, but for now she just learnt the names of different herbs and how to use them.

Is very impressed on how her dad is the resident doctor, an excellent archer, a warlord and an ally of THE Nobunaga Oda.

She always compliments Ieyasu on his skills and his ears turn red immediately.

He teaches her everything he knows about medicine and lets her feed apples to wasabi.

Ieyasu always kisses her forehead as he closes the door to her room, retiring to his own.

Kenshin Uesugi:

It was easy to say that Kenshin's daughter was a carbon copy of the daimyo himself, but personality wise, she was more like her beautiful mother.

She had a blue and a green eye, just like Kenshin.

At first she thought that her heterochromia looked weird, but looking at her father she realized how beautiful they were, which meant she'd look beautiful too.

She was named Keil Uesugi.

Kenshin loves his daughter so much, but he is also very protective of her.

Got a small cut? Papa will bandage it. Tummy hearts? Lay down with Papa. Uncle Shingen is flirting with mom? REPORT TO PAPA IMMEDIATELY.

They had cute little inside jokes which they'd never let you on.

One thing that made Kenshin's heart swell with love would be how you two playfully fought for his attention.

At the end of the day, he called upon his bunnies to play with Keil, he just wants to see her happy. (What a cute dad uwu )

Nobunaga Oda :

The so called devil king was now blessed with an adorable, naughty baby.

She resembled her father, both in looks and attitude.

She had shiny black hair, and blood red eyes which almost symbolized the setting sun.

Nobunaga named her Nohae Oda but called her Haemi as a nickname.

As naughty as the little girl was, she was also very innocent.

Nobunaga held a feast celebrating an Oda warlord's marriage and Nohae beamed that she wanted to marry her father when she grew up.

There were awes all over the place and a smug Nobunaga could be seen sitting on the dais.

"If only I am available by that time, my little fireball".

They love konpeito so much, that Nobunaga bought foreign candy makers to create new recipes for it.

Hideyoshi is in constant pressure from hiding all that candy.

She loves admiring the garden with her father. All those pretty flowers and birds make her happy.

Nobunaga loves his little girl, he encourages her to dream big and promises that Japan will be a much nicer place by the time she has grown up.

Teen! MC request: MC gets ready to go on a date with a neighboring daimyo's son, only having to learn that he stood her up. To make things worse, the whole "date" was just a dare made by his friends.

How will the IkeSen guys react?

(I know that Kenshin will totally want to go to war with that said daimyo)

Hello! I am actually starting to love this type of hc! Thank you for requesting.

Teen!MC is stood up, warlords get revenge.

Oda forces.

Nobunaga Oda.

At first he was already suspicious of this sudden invitation for a date, but you seemed so excited that Nobunaga didn’t want to spoil your mood. However, he was very direct about telling you to be careful. If this boy made you uncomfortable or suffer in any possible way, he would pay for it. Still, he provided the best kimono for you to go on this date.

However, when you returned from your date earlier than expected, crying… all hell broke loose, he was ready to make this pest pay for making you cry. You will find the boy and his friends kneeling before you the next day. To comfort you, Nobunaga will give you his sweets jar.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

Oh, mamayoshi was worried, you are too young to date! What if this boy tries something with you? Hideyoshi will offer to go with you to protect you! Of course, you will immediately refuse this offer, you want to go to this date freely. After a lot of convincing, he will let you go. All dressed up like the beautiful princess you are.

His heart will break when he sees you crying because you were stood up, he will be filled with rage. “I knew that boy was bad news!” Will be his words as he readied himself to go and confront this boy (will drag his parents into this). Hideyoshi will spoil you rotten to comfort you.

Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Ieyasu isn’t sure about this particular date, he was frowning the whole time when you said this boy asked you out. He just couldn’t allow it, you are too innocent and young for these things. However, you eventually went to this date, Ieyasu would have warned you heavily that you should be careful.

Will be the annoying older brother who says “I told you so.” When you returned home disappointed, but that doesn’t mean he won’t make the boy suffer. He will be apologizing to you immediately after Ieyasu visited him. Ieyasu may not be that affectionate, but he will offer you many hugs. It’s just you who can have them, though.

Mitsuhide Akechi.

He will investigate this boy first, he will know everything he needs to know, just to make sure he is worth being with you. Mitsuhide will know about this bet right away, which he will tell you right away before you even go to this date. Naturally you will still cry and that will break his heart. He will pat your head gently, it will feel warm and comforting.

Mitsuhide will go visit this boy and his friends to give him a little “reminder” of never messing with you.

Mitsunari Ishida.

Oh, what fantastic news! Mitsunari will be happy that you were asked out and will congratulate you, he will be happy to see you excited for it. He will be the brother who will be very supportive of you. But when you get home, crying because you were tricked… he will snap. He will give you the biggest hug and try serving you tea (which you will refuse, he means well though).

It’s very rare to see Mitsunari angry or show signs of being mad, but this will be the moment he will use all of his intelligence to make sure this boy pays. Mitsunari will use his strategic mind to make him suffer.

Masamune Date.

Great! All of his advices about dating are working, Masamune will personally give you tips about what to do on your first date, including what to do if this boy tries anything that you are uncomfortable with, he will train you on self defense for that. Masamune will be surprised when you come back home sad.

Oh, there is no one who can hold this man back from going to this boy’s province to cause commotion. Call him crazy, because he will act like he is. The boy will be begging for your forgiveness after this. He will cook you your favorite food to comfort you.

Keiji.

That’s great! Keiji will be happy as well, he will make sure you are fully prepared as well. He will be suspicious about this boy but won’t try to interfere with your date, he just hopes everything goes well. However his suspicions will be proven right when you come back home with tears in your eyes, he will give you a big hug and comfort you right away.

He is a very strong man, no one can doubt that… he won’t be smiling or being his usual cheery self. This boy will be in big trouble. He will be whipped so hard by Keiji he will never mess with you again.

Ranmaru Mori.

Oh! How exciting. Ranmaru will want to dress you up personally for this date, you will be the prettiest princess there is. He will give you lots of encouragement for this date so that you can have fun.

Oh, Ranmaru will cry a bit if you start crying after returning, he will hug you and tell you how he doesn’t deserve you. Also, we should remember that he is a ninja, Ranmaru will keep messing with this boy and his friends for what he has done to you.

Uesugi-Takeda alliance.

Kenshin Uesugi.

No, he doesn’t trust this boy or any boys who approach you. You are his little sister, you are too young and innocent for these disgusting boys. Kenshin will insist that you stay at home, but will eventually accept that you go. Though he might follow you to see how this date will go.

His heart began to broke when he saw that the boy didn’t even show up. He knew it, he will go to war with this boy! When you get home, kenshin will give you all the comfort you want. He will even reassure you that he has already prepared to go to war against the boy.

Shingen Takeda.

Shingen will be excited for this, very proud too. You are his cute little sister, every boy should feel lucky to go to a date with you. He will teach you all you need to know about dates so that you can go confidently. He will be very supportive of you, though he couldn’t help but feel worry.

When you return home crying, shingen will make his life goal to make this vermin suffer for making you cry. He is a very smart man, he can think of many ways to create trouble for the boy’s province. He will give you a bear hug and his sweets.

Yukimura Sanada.

Yukimura isn’t sure about this, he dislikes dates and things related to them, he can be a bit overprotective of you. He can’t really stop you but will be constantly questioning you about the safety of this date. What if he tries something? What if he is a boring guy? Well, he won’t try to stop you from going.

When he sees you back home earlier than expected, he will be all like “I knew it.”. Yukimura will pat your head and think of this boy as trash for standing you up like that. He will punch him for you, just ask him and he will do it.

Yoshimoto Imagawa.

He will be thrilled, how wonderful that you were asked out on a date! Yoshimoto will be very proud of you and will hope you have a wonderful time. He will offer to dress you up, prepare your hair and make up. Just let him make you the most beautiful girl for this date. Though you already are beautiful. The most supportive big brother you will have.

Seeing you back, sad and crying from your date, will awaken something inside Yoshimoto. He will give you lots of comfort and hugs, telling you that you are too beautiful for an ignorant person like that boy. He will become much more aggressive towards the boy, which will be rare.

Sasuke.

He will be very happy to know that you are going out on a date, though Sasuke will try investigating about the boy. He won’t find out about the bet so he won’t stop you from going. He will feel extremely guilty when he sees you back home, feeling sad. Sasuke will cheer you up the best way he can. Besides, he can make you laugh easily.

He will spread ground spikes all over the boy’s bed as revenge.

Hello! Hope yur doin’ alright! If requests are still open, can you make headcanons for a deaf MC for Hideyoshi, Nobunaga and anyone else you want to add? Just another factor to add to her cluelessness and it’s hard sometimes for her express her feelings. Thank you and have a nice day!

Hello! I finally finished this! I added Yukimura because idk why but I kept picturing him being sweet and patient and holding her hand and that cute stuff. Hope you like it :)

Hideyoshi: When MC shoved Nobunaga away when he got in her comfort zone, Hideyoshi pointed his blade at her while saying a threat. She didn’t know what she did wrong and she couldn’t really say anything so she frantically pointed at her ears, making him more confused. “I think the little mouse is confused why you’re pointing a blade at her because she can’t hear you.” Mitsuhide slyly remarked to him, immediately making him feel bad and conflicted. He felt horrible for assuming the worst out of a girl who was scared, confused, and couldn’t understand what anybody was saying about her at the council. He went to her room later to apologize, writing a letter of apology and asking if there was any way to communicate with her besides having to write or point to things/acting out things for her to understand. She then began teaching him sign language by writing the different words on paper then signing them with her hands and helping him sign it out too. He would NEVER let her go out into the market alone or really walk out anywhere by herself due to dangers and the general Sengoku public not adapted to communicating very well with someone deaf. Would go everywhere with her and be the translator for her and makes sure she doesn’t get taken advantage of. Not on mama Hideyoshi’s watch.

Nobunaga: After she pulled him out of the fire, he asked her who she was but she kept using her hands and gestures, making him think she was still in a dazed shock. But later he realized she genuinely could not hear anything. He requested her to come to his room at night through a letter. When she went in she saw him sitting at his table with inkbrush and paper on his side and a brush with paper on the opposite side for her to sit at. ‘So you can read and write to communicate? Very good. You are my lucky charm and you may do as you wish here. You may write me with any questions you may have and I will write back right away. Are there any other methods of communication you know?’ he already wrote for her. She immediately wrote and showed him sign language, which fascinated him with its complex style of nonverbal conversation. Would probably keep some of the hand gestures in mind when giving secret code signals to allies around him. Would also create inside jokes with mc and bond with her since Hideyoshi can’t tell that Nobu is signing to meet mc in the kitchen at 11 pm for konpeito. Would want Mc to live as freely and independently as she can and admires her aspirations and work while accommodating for her impairment. Would be patient if she was having trouble expressing her thoughts and feelings, paying attention to her signing/writing.

Yukimura: Thought that she really was a crazy boar woman after almost running off a cliff and just staring at him dazed and confused at his scolding. Sasuke noticed her taking out her hearing aids and looking at them with despair. He figured that the hearing aids died beyond repair while going through the wormhole, leaving her almost completely deaf, causing him to consult Yuki and make him realize that she’s not crazy, she just physically cannot hear. He feels horrible about judging her and tries awkwardly to help her. “Just let me know if you need anything. It’s no trouble. I don’t want you to get hurt or do something dumb, dummy.” (Thank goodness she can read lips because boy kept forgetting a bit that she can’t hear him). Bashfully asks to learn sign language so he can communicate with her better because he wants to be there and understand the people he cares about as much as he can. Even Shingen is surprised how soft and sincerely patient/caring he is when communicating with mc and trying to understand whatever she’s trying to convey.

Random headcanon: How the warlords would react to you leaving cute notes for them.

Nobunaga: Would collect every single one of them and treat them like artistic artifacts, even if you just write “Went to the store. Be back soon” with a cute little smiley face on it. Would expect one daily, even if it just says “good morning 😊” or “I’ll be thinking about you all day! Love you!” with little winky faces or a little cute doodle of his hawk or of little konpeito. Will be grumpy if he doesn’t receive one since it’s now become his essential mood booster while you’re out.

Hideyoshi: Would always smile fondly at the notes because they reassure him that you’re okay, where you’re at, or even just reassuring that you love him. Would probably give you a hug in the hallway the next time he sees you saying that he read your note and wanted to say he loves you too. Whenever he’s stressed out those notes of “Don’t overwork yourself too hard! I’ll be thinking of you! Love you!”help him through immensely since their warmth and innocence would remind him of the warmth and genuine love in these warring times. Would probably spoil you more than he already does.

Masamune: “My kitten is also a master of poetry and the arts!” (calm down Masamune it just says ‘You’re the tiger of my heart, see you after work’ with a cute lil tiger doodle). Would probably tuck it in his kimono and look at it in a lil trance every once in a while to relieve his stress. If anybody asks he’ll gush and brag about it a lil bit. Would write cutesy, flirty notes too before he leaves for the day to make you as happy as the notes make him.

Ieyasu: Would blush and stare at the note while internally gushing and freaking out how cute and sweet it is. Like seriously, putting a little doodle of Wasabi in the corner and a little “Don’t work yourself too hard! See you at dinner! Love you! <3” would make his soul leave his body for a hot minute and would probably store the notes in a file in a secret shelf in the room that NOBODY knows about because he’d die of embarrassment if people found out how often he looks at those little notes that make him so happy. Reminds him how much he loves and appreciates you. Expect a tight hug without any explanation, just savor the moment.

Mitsuhide: “My little mouse sure knows how to make me wrapped around her finger.” Would smile fondly at every note you gave him. Would try to embarrass you in front of the others about it. “Why do I have such a big smile on my face? It’s only because I received the most lovely love note from the sweetest person in the world.” Would make all the warlords think you write a daily ballad for him. “I just said that you better eat something for lunch with a little doodle of a mouse.” Would seriously warm his heart. Would find you more precious than before because the gesture is so innocent and sweet, a huge contrast to the darkness and cruelty he’s been exposed to all his life.

Mitsunari: Would find the notes very sweet and would be like their own little book of just cute fluffy notes. Would probably use some as bookmarks so that he can immediately see the “I love you! I can’t wait to see you for lunch 😊” with a cute little cat doodle before he delves into the book of war strategies. Would pull you into a hug and kiss you the next time he sees you. “I read your note and I couldn’t wait to see you again. Even if its been three hours.”

Kenshin: Would treat the notes like sacred scriptures. A little “See you at dinner. Love you!” with a little bunny doodle would make him go into a trance thinking about nothing else but you. He would threaten anybody that would try getting their dirty mitts on the precious note soaking in pure love and affection. Probably almost broke Shingen’s fingers if he asked you to write cute notes for him. Would immediately embrace you next time he sees you, saying that the note reminded him how much he wanted to see you again.

Shingen : Would gush over the notes so hard. “Can’t wait to see you again, love 😉” with a little flower doodle would make him believe you were truly the goddess of love. Makes his day and reassures him how much you love him, even if it’s a short sentence and a cute face.“Oh you’re wondering why I’m in such a great mood? Well my goddess bestowed the most loving note that warms my ol heart. You’ll understand when you’re older but anyway (blah blah blah)” Yukimura and the others would learn to tune him out in his passionate love speech over a little note and doodle. Probably writes a whole love poem and showers you in love as return for the sweet note.

Yukimura: Would get blushy and embarrassed, heart racing over the cute little note of “Have a great day! Don’t overwork yourself! I’ll be thinking of you! 😊”. Would be thinking of the note all day, spacing out and leaving him open to teasing by Shingen and Sasuke. Next time he saw you he’d instinctively hug you with a big ol blush on his face. “Thanks for worrying about me, dummy. I’ve been thinking about you too.” Looks forward to every note you give him, even though he would probably never admit it.

Sasuke: Would probably laminate it and add it to a scrapbook collection he keeps in the ceiling. Would put a little smile on his stoic face seeing the note “You put meme-ing into my life 😉”. Stoked he finally gets to live the anime dream of receiving cute little love notes from your gf. Probably also leaves notes for you with cute little puns and memes to make you smile as well. It would become a mini competition where they’d judge which note of the day was the funniest and get a big ol laugh from it.

Hello!

Can i request again?

So... Fluff really fluffy. Old Mc with Old warlords.

Please don't kill them. 😭

IkeSen Boys + Growing Old With MC

Note: The children of the warlords are taken from historical record, but please know that not all scenarios are accurate as I had named some children to fill in the children who were unnamed.

To be honest with you this is probably the longest ask I've ever done, over a period of 4 days of editing and characters so I hope you enjoy the fluffy family content! It's cut for length. Also... I couldn't add so many tags so please share it if you can!

Nobunaga Oda

You were excited for this particular day, since your oldest son, Nobutada was finally coming home from a skirmish he had settled. The Owari province was long handed over to your sons, as you and Nobunaga lived peacefully in the edges of Azuchi, away from the city.

You had waited a long time to see your children once again, although not all were in Azuchi. With 21 children in total, both adopted and from birth, most were of similar age. The only few that lived with you were your youngest daughters, Oushin and Ofuri who were adopted at the same time. Youngest was a stretch, considering they were both 19.

Your other warlord friends were due to visit soon, including Hideyoshi. Throughout your years, you never comprehended why no one interested Hideyoshi as a romantic partner. Although, your heart eased, remembering how Hideyoshi would care for your sons as if he were their own.

Your thoughts were interrupted by your husband, as he plopped next to you, taking in the serene view of the empty field. In his hand were a bag of konpeito. Hideyoshi would be angry, but you weren't so as you managed to control his candy-loving instincts. You took a few to nibble on yourself, as you leaned against your husband.

"What were you thinking of, my fireball?"

You hummed, wondering how to respond. "About the future perhaps?"

"Good," he said. "I've been thinking... I wouldn't change a thing. But..."

You leaned into him, tickling the hairs of his neck. He flinched away, peppering you in kisses in retaliation as he continued his thought. "I want to travel once again, with you."

"I won't say no... But why not travel for longer?"

The moment your friends gathered, you and your husband announced your decision. Your children were surprised but the older warlords weren't. Masamune also teased Nobunaga, saying how he grew tired of a tranquil life. It wasn't long before you contacted Motonari, and the Oda couple were due to sail to Portugal.

"My years with you gave me the greatest life, YN."

Hideyoshi Toyotomi

It was not long before the day of your 20th marriage anniversary with Hideyoshi, but you woke up to a missing husband. Hideyoshi, being the way that he is, never stopped working for Nobunaga. Years went by, and you and Hideyoshi had a family of two sons, Hideyori and Tsurumatsu.

Your oldest son, Tsurumatsu, welcomed you instead in the morning. Your oldest was the spitting image of Hideyoshi, except that he took your eyes. It was as if you were looking at a younger Hideyoshi, and you commented on it, "With a sword like that, you remind me of your father..."

Your son's attitude however, resembled Ieyasu more than anything. Well... Ieyasu was his favourite warlord uncle when growing up. Tsurumatsu denied any of the sort, and insisted he accompanied you around Azuchi. You were internally grateful that your sons took after your husband's gentleman-like attitude, although at times when living in an estate with all three, it could get overbearing...

As you looked over the local fabrics, your hands traced over a fabric that you thought would suit all three of your boys.

"Princess YN?"

"Lord Mitsuhide!" Your son quickly bowed to the other warlord, but Mitsuhide gave him the respect to get up. The sudden appearance of the two bachelors, one older than the other, caused an uproar of the unmarried women of the market. It got you to think why Mitsuhide never settled down...

Your trip with your son ended in the front gates, where your younger son Hideyori and your husband Hideyoshi stood. Hideyoshi welcomed you wholeheartedly.

Hideyoshi escorted you around town, and you held onto his arm as you did before, and you two reminisced about the memories you had in the town together.

"20 years married..." You muttered. "Time flies huh? The boys have the townswomen swooning over them just like you did back then..."

"I only had eyes for you, YN..." He said. You huffed, teasing him about how he was in denial about his feelings the entire time. Hideyoshi grew red at your teasing, with you pulling him down to your level, kissing him on the cheek.

"For these 20 years with me YN... Thank you for telling me to live and staying with me."

Mitsunari Ishida

Your life never slowed down despite Mitsunari's calm approach to life. It was a joyous occasion for the Ishida clan throughout the years as you and Mitsunari had a wonderfully, large family of you both and 6 children.

Mitsunari still worked under Hideyoshi, with your third son Sakichi following in his footsteps. The week was busy, with you preparing for two weddings for your second and third daughter.

All your 6 children followed in the steps of Mitsunari in terms of worshipping Ieyasu. It was so much so, that one of your son-in-laws was Senchiyo Tokugawa. The warlords were long gone with their aggressions, so you were surprised when Mitsunari and Ieyasu arranged Kennyo to officiate the marriage.

Kennyo had been a neutral force after the birth of your first son Shigenari, as he even offered to bless your child. Kennyo himself never settled down, but he focused on rebuilding the temples instead. Mitsunari was quite the supporter, but Hideyoshi let an insight that it meant a lot to him since before Mitsunari studied in a temple.

You and Mitsunari returned home after a long shopping trip with the two oldest sons, Shigenari and Shigeie. Mitsunari nowadays forgot his things more and more, but his hatred for carrots continued. Your sons disappeared somewhere else to eat their carrot snacks, as you sat with Mitsunari in his study.

"You've never changed, Mitsunari..." You said, preparing some tea for him.

He reached out to your own hand, helping you pour. "I'm sure I'm improving on my tea manners!"

The silence never settled between you two, as no matter how much time had passed, you two never ran out of topics to run out of. You comforted Mitsunari as he confessed how sullen he felt about your daughters leaving.

"If anything... YN, in my time with you... Thank you for marrying me."

Mitsuhide Akechi

You moved to Tanba permanently, and you gave up your rank as Princess. With Mitsuhide gone for his missions, you'd answer to the other warlords. Somehow, it lead you to the title of 'Lady Akechi'.

It wasn't long before your first daughter, Tama, was to come of age. Mitsuhide was a private man, so it was only to be held with the other warlords and your entire family. You and Mitsuhide had a small family, but they were equally cherished by the others.

Yoshimoto arrived at Tanba earlier than expected. You had become fast friends with him, despite Mitsuhide's dislike. You had reassured him multiple times that Yoshimoto had no interest in you, but at times you had questioned why Yoshimoto never married...

"Tama! Yoshimoto is here!" You called out for your daughter. She was most likely with your youngest daughter... Yoshimoto had agreed to come and help Tama put together her hair, with the accessories he had collected.

It was not long before your daughter was finished, and by that time Mitsuhide with your eldest son, Mitsuyoshi, returned. No matter how many people were in the estate, your husband kissed you on the cheek, as it was customary to do.

Mitsuyoshi made faces, but was silenced by his much more mature, younger sister. Yoshimoto was quick to escort the three siblings outside, where Kyubei was waiting to bring his Lord's family to Nobunaga's Castle.

"Mou... Mitsuhide, the children are waiting... It's Tama's day today..." You muttered, as he continued to kiss you.

"Our children are adults, YN..." He said, holding you close. "Let your husband indulge in you for one more kiss... For now, and all our coming years..."

Ieyasu Tokugawa

In celebration, you decided to throw a banquet for Ieyasu as he announced he was stepping down from work. It was lively at home, with 16 children and a small army of rescued deer over the year helping you to decorate the house. You and Ieyasu, besides the deer, adopted children over your 20 years of marriage who soon became close with your 6 biological children.

You hurried to prepare the grand hall, but before you could fully lift the box full of tapestries, it was quickly carried away.

"Mama... You're not allowed to carry heavy things anymore," A blond man told you off, as two other men carried the vases away.

"Nobuyasu... Ogimaru... Hidetada..." You smiled at your three eldest sons. Ah, your heart warmed at how considerate they've become. It made you feel like a proud mother... "You three returned from Kenshin's lessons?"

The gap between the Oda and Uesugi-Takeda forces closed, and Kenshin grew close to your family. He never had children of his own, so you were enthusiastic when Kenshin treated your eleven sons as his own, even taking some to learn the sword by him.

"Mama! Don't be distracted! Let us fix you up!"

From behind you, your five daughters swarmed you, wrapping you up in a cloth you sure you bought this week... and it was untrimmed...

"Tokuhime! I haven't trimmed that cloth!" You turned to your other daughters, who were also holding makeup paints and hairpins. "Kamehime! Ichihime! You don't have to throw your jewellery to get my attention!"

"Mou... Mama, Father will be so happy to see you dressed up~" Your third daughter, Furihime chimed.

Matsuhime, the fourth daughter, joined in. "Without our help, your kimono might be too old fashioned Mama..."

Oh... Things were lively with all your children back at home... Your sons finished decorating the hall, and as a token you decided to do your daughters' hair to match them to your hairstyle.

You were last to enter the hall, as the boys wanted to greet their father first. Your daughters entered next, and all Ieyasu saw through them was you, and the way you raised them made them blossom into the people they were today. When you entered... he swore he stopped breathing.

"YN... My wife..." Not much was said after, but the blush on his face was enough to show how much he loved it, as well as his hand gripping onto yours tracing every finger of it.

Masamune Date

You would like to think that your life grew much more peaceful, but with a chaotic husband like Masamune, and four equally chaotic children like him. The Date forces as a whole were also chaotic. It was safe to say that Lady Date was one who took care of them all, no matter how big or small.

It gave your husband the great idea of planning a surprise birthday party for you with his children. As a warlord, he was not Ishida Mitsunari but he could still plan a well thought-out strategy...

"Irohahime, Muuhime, you are to distract your mother at the market. Kojuro will give the signal when we're ready."

They nodded. "Yes Dad."

"Hidemune, Tadamune. You know when to start the fight," He reiterated.

"Yes Da-"

Ieyasu, who came earlier as a guest, spoke up. "Why am I a part of this?"

"YN will only break a fight if it involves people outside our family," Masamune explained, flexing his arm. "She knows we're tough as nails..."

Ieyasu Tokugawa remained a bachelor, although he never explained why he didn't. Masamune had a little bit of a hunch, but he isn't one to pry. Ieyasu was an undeniable favourite of his daughter Muuhime, who gained an affinity for medicine.

"Tough as nails?"

Your family was dumbfounded that you stepped in the decorated hall, with your husband and children, with Ieyasu in the corner with a bowl of spicy soup. Kojuro had kindly lead Lady Date into the hall, despite of the plan as no one in the Date palace dared to defy YN LN.

For a room full of adults, your family at the moment were not acting like one. It was typical, but you had to wonder what the fuss was all about. Tadamune, the closest to you, was someone who couldn't lie to you, and told you the truth. It ended quite simply, as you insisted to help prepare.

In the kitchen with Masamune brought back memories. The whole time you and your husband were cooking, you played around with the ingredients as you did back then.

"My wife... you have a little flour on your face. Should I wipe it with my fingers or..." He wrapped his arms your waist, brushing his lips on your ear. "Kiss it away myself?"

Ranmaru Mori

You and Ranmaru decided to leave the Oda forces once you both got married. Ranmaru was mainly the reason, as he wanted to keep a neutral stance for your safety.

Ranmaru grew much taller over the years, but he wasn't as towering as the other warlords. You didn't mind as much except for the period of measuring out new kimonos for him. You both lead a quaint life, with Ranmaru working as your courier for your sewing work.

You and Ranmaru never had any children of your own, instead opting to become foster parents to other children whose parents were in war efforts or children that were orphaned from incidents.

Many children came and went, some of them leaving and never returning but there were the few that stayed. Ranmaru was still actively talking to the other warlords through letters, so you weren't surprised when he said that he intended to take you back to Azuchi for peach season.

It was no surprise that Hideyoshi gathered the entire town of Azuchi to welcome you both. It was nice to meet friends you had missed, as well as the daughters of the warlords you worked for. They awed at you, but to you it was as if you had adopted many, many girls resembling your friends.

"YN-hime! Etto... Do we call you YN-hime?" Tatsuhime, the oldest daughter of Mitsunari, asked.

"Of course! Even if she's not in Azuchi Castle, all our uncles say that she's the best princess!" Tokuhime, Nobunaga's oldest daughter, chimed in. "I may be Azuchi's princess but I can't fathom comparing myself to YN-hime!"

You shushed the girls, getting overwhelmed easily by the compliments and praises showered on you. You gave a peak to Ranmaru as a plea for help, but he added the cherry on top to the compliments instead.

"YN, YN... You know you're the best princess in my eyes!" He said, kissing your hand.

You were sure Ieyasu's daughters poked at their father with teasing of following Ranmaru's example. Others, like Mitsuhide's and Masamune's daughters, began to swoon that Ranmaru was more romantic than their fathers.

"I think that's enough Ranmaru... Let's save the romantic lines for our walk in the garden..."

Keiji Maeda

Oh what memories you had with Keiji over the years... For one, you were glad that the allegiance between the Oda and Uesugi-Takeda worked out, as you and Keiji decided to live together during that time.

You were shortly married after, with Keiji inviting Naoe as well, which lead to Kenshin being invited... plus Sasuke and Yukimura... not to mention Shingen as well... In the end it resulted in another gathering between the Oda and Uesugi-Takeda which you were glad didn't turn out violent.

Keiji was quite the family man himself, for after 20 years of marriage you had raised 10 children together, with 4 biological children and 6 adopted children. They had all grown up, married off to someone they love, leaving the once rowdy house now empty and quiet.

Keiji never stopped supporting Nobunaga, working almost as much as Hideyoshi on some days. You lived quietly, occasionally accompanying the wives of the other warlords as you never gave up your title as Azuchi's Princess, but it was obvious that you missed your entire family.

Keiji was always good with knowing your mood. Much to your surprise, you came back to an empty estate... but there were voices? One roaring voice sent you running to the main hall, where you opened the doors and there were your children, sitting around their father as he told more of his old war stories.

Overwhelmed with emotion, you shed a few tears as each of your children went up and hugged you.

"It's been so long my children..." You said as you hugged your two daughters.

"Mom, don't cry! If you cry... I'm gonna cry too!" Your first son, Keita wailed. He was taller than his father but it was quick to see that Keita, and much of the large boys of the family treasured you as their mother.

"Hoi hoi you rascals!" Keiji called out, getting up to walk to you. "Your monstrous heights would crush your mother!"

You moved into a hug with your husband, feeling Keiji lift you up. "My dear... they wouldn't," You grinned, finally laughing. "Keiji... Thank you for bringing our family together."

Kenshin Uesugi

Being crowned Lady Uesugi, you and Kenshin got busier and busier every year. It was an occurrence for the scribes of Kasugayama Castle to trail your relationship with Kenshin, as by the end of the day, it was a habit of his to take you on a stroll with your many, many bunnies.

There was not a soul in Echigo that did not hear of your marriage, Many were welcomed, but at the time no one thought that there would be a larger party than this. That was... until it was announced that you were pregnant.

It was an uproar, especially with Kenshin going around to everyone, saying how you were with child. To your surprise, your family of supposed three become a family of four as you were blessed with twins.

Kasugayama Castle was the home of your twins, Kagetora and Kagekatsu. Kenshin was proud of them, and they grew up to follow in their father's footsteps to take over the Uesugi clan... or that's what you thought until you realised how stubborn your husband was. He was making them work hard for it in their teen years when they expressed their interest in it.

Ah, but of course... Your three boys would always recharge with you, talking about their day. If one thing, they never learnt to share...

"What? You're drinking tea with Mama? But I wanted to show her the fabrics the merchants showed me!" Kagetora yelled at his older twin. Besides sword fighting, he grew up with an interest towards strategy, which was under Mitsunari's influence. He visited as often as he could, but you wonder if someone would ever catch Mitsunari's eye...

"An oaf like you wouldn't know how to brew tea like this for Mama..." Kagekatsu retorted, setting the pot down. He gained an interest for elegant arts similar to his father, and of course his favourite uncle is Yoshimoto.

Both glared at each other, but it was not long before the God of War entered the garden, with his many bunnies. "And why are you bothering my wife?"

"Father! Don't talk as if we're strangers! We're your sons and we wanna spend time with Mama too!" Kagetora retorted.

Kenshin drew his blade, challenging his sons that the winner gets to spend the afternoon with you.

"Ehem!" You coughed out, folding your kimono under you. "Boys, what's my number one rule in the garden?"

"No fighting and no swords..." Kagekatsu muttered.

"That's right," You said, taking a cup for yourself. "Now, why don't we all just sit down and have some tea?"

Sasuke Sarutobi

You and Sasuke didn't rush your lives in the Sengoku, since coming from the future meant a busy livelihood. You both agreed that when you both grew older, you would relax a little and not worry about the larger things in life.

Sasuke kept you in Echigo, as you stayed close to him and his other friends. You both had no intention of moving, but you did have an idea to own an estate to yourselves. There was no intention of children from both of you, so you decided to become foster parents to children with majority of their families at war.

You had only fostered about 3 children, but similarly, they too had extended families that they stayed with instead. The both of you learnt how to let go, ever since staying here, but that was something you both grew from. Finding out you both let go of the children you cared for, Yukimura had asked if you were interested in taking in his nephews and niece.

Yukimura himself never married, and you never asked, but he was a dear friend that you and Sasuke would sacrifice a lot for. Yukimura's orphaned nephews and niece were quickly known as your children, and Sasuke would always read them Physics Theorems as a bed time story...

It was a joyous occasion whenever those three would come back, and sooner by that time you realised you had gotten older. There was a small room where you and Sasuke kept your modern items, coincidentally was the room you would often have tea in.

You sighed, taking another bite of your bun. "Sasuke... I know we've lived quietly, but I've wanted to know if you ever wanted to return?"

"There's nothing I would've changed, YN... Not a single thing." He smiled, brushing his hand over yours. "Maybe... maybe there's another timeline, but you're in this one so it's where I am."

Kanetsugu Naoe

He continued to serve his years under Kenshin's reign, but then it was a moment of realisation of how time passed when you told him you were pregnant. It was a moment of stress for him, as he wasn't knowledgeable on the process.

It was recorded by the scribes of Kasugayama Castle that when Azuchi's Princess gave birth, Kanetsugu shed tears as if it were raining. That is to say, he cried a lot. You had a son, Kanetsuna. Much like his father, your son grew up to admire the line of Kenshin Uesugi, becoming close friends with Kagekatsu and Kagetora Uesugi.

Those three went off adventuring so much, it often worried you. Kanetsugu, with his curt self, would reassure you in his own way. It wouldn't help you much, since Kanetsugu would also talk about how helpful Kanetsuna was being towards the Uesugi family line.

You always busied yourself with your sewing, so you often used your son as a model to model your kimonos after. Kanetsuna never had an interest in fashion, but he would always walk up to women in the streets to go and buy your kimonos whenever you would open the shop.

Needless to say, most thought you were available for a marriage interview instead. Kanetsugu was surprised to see you carry home so many letters addressed to your son. Somehow, he was proud but wary.

"How did our son even resemble Shingen's charm? I'm aware he has my looks, but this is a bit much..." He adjusted the glasses he wore, taking more letters off your arms.

"Our son is of age, Kanetsugu and don't flatter yourself too much," You said, setting the letters aside. "You weren't a charmer but you steered clear of women..."

He turned red when you brought up his past self. His blush went away the moment you kissed him cheek, wrapping your arms around your husband. "It's alright, my husband... I certainly fell hard for you."

Shingen Takeda

How you lived in bliss with Shingen... It was not long before Kai was returned to Shingen, and he worked hard to build it up from the state that it was left in. Shingen created a loving community in Kai, and it was no question a homely place for you and him. Nobunaga claimed that the crops he gifted on your wedding were a gift, and you thanked him for that. Despite the time that passed, Nobunaga never took a spouse, so you wondered when he would marry too.

The whole community was in joy when you were with child, which prompted Shingen to throw an entire festival to bless your first born. Years went by, and you bore four sons for Shingen. Kai was now famous for its festivals, since Shingen insisted on one for every child you both had.

Kai, in turn, had a festival for every season and every son, with each having their birthdays in a particular season. Katsuyori was in the summer, Harukiyo was in the spring, Nobuchika was in Autumn and Yoshinobu was in Winter. The particular festival this time around was for Nobuchika, your second son and his 20th birthday.

You sighed, remembering the times the boys were younger. How they would run around, and how Shingen would swing them around hanging off his biceps. It was about 20 years of marriage, so you could still attest that he had the biceps, but your sons were far too tall to swing off their father's arm.

"Remember how they would swing on my arm?" Shingen said to you, taking a bite of a sweet bun.

"Mhm... Katsuyori would always fall off..." You replied, sipping your tea. The both of you watched as the new generation of the Kai people set up the tents, and raked the leaves off the walkways for the guests. "But Nobuchika was very stubborn..."

"It was always adorable how you'd panic, my Goddess..." He teased, pulling you close. "Not like I minded... Ah, and how Yoshinobu would sleep on Koro's back..."

The teasing was uncalled for, but Shingen couldn't stop swaddling you in his arms, relishing you in his kisses. You laughed, and your gleeful smile is one he'd always want to see on you.

Harukiyo, the youngest, nudge his other brothers. "Hey... Do they know that we're still here?"

The other three shook their heads.

Yukimura Sanada

Throughout the years, you and Yuki had 11 children together, with a mix of adopted and biological children. You were surprised that Yuki even had the confidence to take care of so many children with you, since Yuki wasn't exactly a paternal type either...

Another thing was, out of 11 children, you only had four sons... with very similar names that you can't help but give nicknames to them!

"Yuki! Dai! Help your sisters carry this heavy pot!" You yelled. In a rush, four young adults plus your husband came from their training, spears in hand, at your call to the garden.

You always wondered why Yuki insisted on naming two sons Yukichika and Yukinobu and the other two Daihachi and Daisuke. It always confused the others, especially Shingen when he couldn't tell them apart.

Besides that, all of your children had gained a love for some kind of weaponry. The only exception was your oldest, Kiku, who decided to become a healer instead. You fully supported their interests, but you still had to lay down some ground rules about weapons...

It wasn't long before three of your girls came back with Sasuke. Sasuke continued to be a favourite of the Sanada family, especially with the triplets, Okane, Oshobu and Oume, who had an affinity for throwing stars and knives. The last three girls, Ichi, Naho and Akuri were fans of archery instead, which their father taught them as well.

Speaking of Sasuke, you were glad that he treated the children as his own. You never asked why he never did adopt a few, or get married, but you were sure it wasn't right to pry.

It was always a big dinner with the Sanada family, but after dinner Yukimura would always take you somewhere else, be it the study or the garden, for his alone time with you.

"Time passes by huh..." You muttered, reaching in the tiny jar of fish snacks.

Yuki hummed, stroking Muramasa's coat as he listened to how your day went. No longer did he insult you as often as he did, but that boyish attitude of his never changed.

"Oh by the way... I arranged a marriage interview with Kiku and Katsuyori!"

Yuki spat out his drink. "T-Takeda Katsuyori?"

You hummed. "Kiku really likes him, and the feelings are mutual so-"

Not a word was to be said about what Yukimura screamed. Except for the fact that you replied with, "Kiku is 23 years old."

Yoshimoto Imagawa

Yoshimoto wasn't someone you'd imagine wanting a family, but then you realised that Yoshimoto really wanted to pamper any children you had. It was a slow process, but over the years, you both had 5 children, with 4 daughters and a son.

Your four daughters were well-known for their beauty, especially with mentions of their lineage as the phrase of 'Elegance of Imagawa and Beauty of Azuchi's Princess' was repeated several times over. Yoshimoto would not stop gushing over his own children, no matter how old they were.

Your only son, Ujizane was much more interested in becoming someone like Yukimura but he was also famous for his calligraphy works. It was an understatement how many pieces were commissioned by Kenshin and Masamune.

Yoshimoto however, has no concept of approaching romance when it came to his own child. He so happened to eavesdrop your conversation with your second daughter, Reishou.

"Ah! I can't look at him Mother! He's... He's very charming!" The usual stoic Reishou hid her face in her hands, her body swaying back and forth.

"Now... did you send him that letter I told you to do?" You said, patting her on the back. "Yoshinobu was it? He's a nice man..."

"But... But... the messenger accidentally sent it to Harukiyo Takeda! He mixed up the wrong brother..." Reishou told you, tears coming from her eyes. You wiped them away, hugging her close, and telling her it was going to be alright.

"Father? What are you doing in front Reishou's room?" His first daughter, Chotoku, asked, a hand to her hip in wonder. She wasn't as quiet as her father, her mannerisms and voice loud and clear. The 'eep' from the room was enough for him to bow down in shame as he saw you exit Reishou's room.

You ushered Chotoku to comfort her younger sister, as you dragged your husband somewhere else.

"Now Yoshimoto... you should apologise to your daughter," You said, finishing your lecture about why he shouldn't listen in. He pressed his head to floor as he listened, bowing to you as you went on about how he should be supportive.

"I... I understand my wife. Thank you..." He said.

"With that said... The five of you can come in now. I'm done with the scolding..."

Oh, the embarrassment he felt...

Kennyo

He was embarrassed to tell you that he had planned out his future with you when you found him pacing around about names for your future children. You and Kennyo lived in the reconstructed Honno-ji Temple as a wedding gift from the Oda forces.

There was no further issues between Kennyo and the others. After all, they were getting older and no one would want to make you upset. You were still friends with many of them, especially with Ranmaru. He was someone who would deliver the gifts from the warlords to you, especially when you were with child.

Kennyo was ecstatic when you were pregnant, but he was scared. Looking back then, Kennyo would get shy whenever you'd bring it up. You however, would tell him not to worry as he was a great father to your three sons.

Kyounyo, Junnyo and Kenson followed in their father's footsteps, specialising in several different aspects of the religion. Kenson, the youngest of all three however, was the most interested in travelling, most likely from the stories he'd hear from Ranmaru and Motonari.

Your three children easily mingled with Motonari's, but you always wondered why Ranmaru never settled down. He was still doing his own work, which worried you enough as he was almost a workaholic like Hideyoshi.

Kennyo's birthday rolled around, so you decided to make a special party for your husband. As you focused on the food, you tasked your three sons with work to distract their father as Kennyo's other subordinates helped with the preparation.

"Father! I wanted to ask you about this text!" Kenson carried papers about a sermon to his father, as he saw his father exit the main temple with a package in hand.

He held out his hand to his son's head, ruffling his hair. "I'm afraid not today, my son. I have to see your mother."

"Wait, but father-!"

One by one, they all failed and the surprise was ruined, but Kennyo wasn't aware of what he had done. He was so focused on giving you the said package. He only notice what he did when he saw the disappointed face of his wife, a face he was indeed weak to.

"YN-! Apologies my wife... I'll pretend as if nothing happened..."

"Father... Father has a one track mind huh..." The sons whispered amongst themselves.

Kichou

You never imagined finding a place where you and Kichou belonged. After all, your relationship in itself was out of place from your other friends. That was, until Motonari asked if you both wanted to travel around the world. You were on board, and after much prying, you and Kichou were travelling around Asia.

Most of your post-wedding years was spent with Kichou travelling to many places, although you would say that you both found a place in what you know today in modern Japan as Shikoku. The Island was not far off Motonari's reach, so you had some familiarity with it.

There was no rush to start a family straight away, especially considering that you moved away from the friends you were accustomed to. Kichou's work wasn't interrupted at all, but he did ask Motonari to help you out with finding what suited you. Somehow, someway, the assistance popularised your kimono work not to mention your fans from Azuchi and Echigo travelling to commission your work.

It was smooth sailing financially, and sooner down the line, Kichou asked if it were alright to adopt children. You agreed, and you found yourself raising a pair of twins with Kichou. They were fraternal twins, but they were quick to adapt to you and Kichou's home.

Kichou enjoyed the family life much more than he thought he would, and he realised it the moment you said your son expressed an interest in marriage to one of the village girls.

Your son, Yoshitatsu, bowed to his father as Kichou listened to his appeal. Kichou was loving but at the same time, he was strict with the twins.

"Father! Please let me marry this girl!" He bowed deeper, pressing his palms to the floor.

Your daughter, Myoinni wasn't around since she decided to be a part of the Uesugi army. Your son instead focused on business, which you assumed was where he met this girl.

Kichou was silent, but a soft nod was enough for your son to jump with glee. You rubbed your hand over his, giving him a kiss on the jaw. You felt him lean into you, so of course you praised your husband. "Kichou... You did well."

Motonari Mori

He was someone who you thought wouldn't be one to settle down, but Motonari was much more attentive than you thought. He knew that one day, he'd have to stop but he'd want to make sure that you were alright with whatever landing spot you chose to stay at.

After much deciding, you and him reached an end point of perhaps moving to the Aki province, his hometown. At first, he was uptight about it since he didn't want his family to meddle with you. He wanted to keep you away but the way you loved his hometown... He couldn't help it.

He had to gain control of his clan before he brought you in... Although it was a faster process than expected since you were pregnant... Which was not planned...

It took about a year for Motonari to accomplish it, but by his will he was going to make life comfortable for you and your first son, Takamoto. It was great for you and Motonari then on, and most in the Aki Province knew you as Lady Mori. You and Motonari may have also adopted a few children, totalling your children over the years to 12.

There wasn't much to complain about... except for the fact that Motonari had a naming gig... Which made things difficult...

"Moto! Help me with this-"

6 boys... and your husband... came running... Then you had to choose which one to help you and it wasn't even all of the children. "No no... I only wanted Motoaki to help me..." You said.

The other boys and your husband made protests about it, asking why you wanted that specific brother.

"What? Is it because Motoaki's good at arithmetic?" Motoharu asked.

"Like you could ever do arithmetic..."

"Shut up Motoyasu!"

"Oh yeah? Fight me Motomasa!"

"How undignified..."

"Don't try to be the proper one here Motokiyo!"

Motonari was the one who could break up the fight, but he didn't want to. You sighed, going back inside where your three daughters were as your nine sons and Motonari battled it out...

"Girls, let's go out to eat..."
