YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poll time!

So I am getting close to finishing up my All's Fair In Love and War Nobunaga fic. I am already planning a sequel (but that's still in the VERY early stages) and before I get to that I want to write warlord Ava with some other warlords. And once again dear readers, I am putting the choice in your hands for who I write next.

Right now, the following are the guys I have ideas for on their stories. So please vote and let me know who you think should be the next suitor to get to date Lord Ava!

“From the moment you have a dream, think about what you need to do, and start doing it. I’ll do it tomorrow, I’ll do it when… The moment you think that, your dream will remain a dream. You don’t have to do anything spectacular. If you take action that leads to your dream, even if it’s trivial…It all adds up and naturally, your dreams will come true.” ~Clavis Lelouch (3rd Anniversary Event)

All's Fair In Love & War- Nobunaga Ch. 29

When our next battle was underway, it was going smoothly. We had our enemy pinned in between our two forces. We were easily winning, Nobunaga and I neither one had taken to the field yet. We were each commanding our forces from our base camps. Of course, things could always change in battle. Unexpected things can always happen.

I had just sent another messenger off with a new order when, there was a commotion from the back of camp. “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

I quickly drew my sword and was up and running to the back of my camp, where the attack was happening. I was surprised when I saw smoke rising up and that was when I realized there were flaming arrows coming at my camp. “Oh hell…” I muttered.

One of my men was running towards me through the smoke, coughing and blood dripping from a wound in his head. “My…lord…run…”

It was then I saw a figure clad in black emerging from the smoke, a dagger raised and ready to strike my man down. I instantly ran forward, blocking the blow with my sword and then kicking the enemy back. I was then shouting to my men. “Get the wounded out of here! I need a group to stay and protect camp with me and another to get the wounded to safety!”

“My lord…I can fight…”

“No, you’re injured. Run and live to fight for me another day.” I commanded.

More figures began emerging from the smoke as my men rallied around me. I would protect those who were injured. Jiro was out in the battle leading the troops on the field in my stead. Sato was protecting the wounded as they retreated to safety.

I looked at the enemy as they came into my camp. They weren’t dressed in the colors of the army we were facing. They were dressed entirely in black robes, the only thing showing their eyes. “We are here for a woman named Ava! Just hand her over and no one else has to get hurt!”

“Oh, you came here for little old me?” I asked as I stood facing them, my sword drawn.

The men all looked surprised. “Y-you’re….Ava?”

“Yes, Lord Ava Yamada.” I replied. “So, I am sorry to disappoint you, but you won’t be leaving with me.”

“It’s no matter. We can overpower her! She’s just one woman! And she’s so tiny!”

“Yes! Our master needs her!”

There was a rallying cry that seemed to echo from all around. It would be unnerving to well…anyone, but I steeled myself. I wouldn’t let them intimidate me, nor would I let them take me. I wasn’t sure what they wanted…but something told me it wasn’t even about me at the moment. I had that feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach.

They began to swarm me, more emerging from the smoke and the shadows. They began to close in on me, but I remained calm. I held my out my sword and spun, forcing them back. One of them began to move towards me, but was struck down by a kunai in his leg.

“Sorry boys, but I can’t let you run off with my lord now.”

Sato was leaping into the middle of the circle with me, her back pressing to mine. “I thought I sent you to protect the wounded.”

“They’re in good hands with the others.” Sato replied. “Besides, I can’t let you have all the fun.”

“And it’s clear these guys are here for me.”

“Exactly.” Sato replied. “So, let’s take them down.”

Sato and I were moving then, fighting off the men who seemed to move with the shadows and taking them down. Though they seemed an almost endless number that kept coming for us.

“We have to…get her. She’s the key…to our master’s plan…to Nobunaga’s undoing.” One of the men declared as he looked to his comrades in arms.

“Yes…we have to for our master.”

“I knew it.” I muttered, gripping my sword tighter in frustration. “You came here for a damsel in distress…well that’s not me.” No one would use me. I had fought too hard to get to where I was… and more importantly I wouldn’t allow anyone to use me against the man I love.

“Don’t worry my lord, I have your back.” Sato told me.

I nodded. “Then let’s stop these idiots.”

I wouldn’t go down at least not without a fight. I wouldn’t be used against the man I love. Though it would be a hard fight because I wasn’t just fighting these men. I was fighting fate.

Nobunaga…

Nobunaga had been sending out orders as quickly as they came in. This battle had been going on for two days and was already almost over. Working with Ava to trap their foes worked well. Not to mention, getting to spend the nights between the battles together seemed to cure any weariness he experienced from battle.

As the messengers seemed to be slowing down, there was a commotion at the entrance of the camp. Nobunaga looked up and that was when he saw several of Ava’s men entering the camp. Some were wounded, but there were others who had clearly been protecting them.

Nobunaga was instantly on his feet, his heart racing. “What is going on?”

“There…there was an attack…on our camp…my lord.” One of the men answered between panting breaths.

“Where is Ava?” Nobunaga asked.

“Fighting off…the enemy.” The man answered. “She ordered us to get the wounded to safety.”

“Sato is with her.” Another of the men answered. “But those men…there were so many of them.”

Nobunaga was thinking quickly. He wrote a couple of missives on the table that had been setup as the center of his command. He looked at Ranmaru. “These are the orders you will need to hand out.” He instructed his young page.

Ranmaru’s eyes widened, but he nodded. “Yes, my lord.”

Nobunaga was then giving out a few more orders and mounting his horse. He raced towards Ava’s camp, his heart hammering in his chest. When he arrived, he found Ava and Sato in the middle of a circle of men in black, laying on the ground at their feet. Both of them were panting and covered in blood and sweat and soot from the smoke and fire surrounding the camp.

Nobunaga felt relief flood his chest as he brought his horse to a halt and dismounted. “Ava!”

She turned at the sound of her name. “Were you…worried?” She asked, wearing a smug smile.

“Ava, I think he had a right to be.” Sato said, her eyes looking pointedly at Ava’s side.

Nobunaga followed Sato’s vision and so did Ava. There was a wound on her side where there was a gap in her armor. It looked like a stab wound. “Oh…I thought…I felt a little…tickle…” She was beginning to sway on her feet.

Nobunaga rushed to Ava, his arms catching her as she began to pass out. “Ava…Ava!”

“We have to stop the bleeding.” Sato said. “We have to get her medical attention right away.”

Nobunaga nodded. He was pulling a cloth from a pocket and pressed it to the wound at her side. Sato was helping him to tie it off and then he was carrying her over to his horse. With Sato’s help he got on the horse and then had Ava on in front of him. 

“I’ll meet you back at camp. Just take care of my lord.” Sato told Nobunaga.

“I will.” Nobunaga replied, rushing back to his camp to get Ava’s wound tended to. “Ava…you have to live…I can’t lose you.”

Ava…

I was dragged from the thick black of unconsciousness by the feeling of something cool on my head and a horrible pain in my side. “Ugh…” I groaned as I worked hard to open my eyes, my mind struggling to remember what had happened.

“Ava…”

I turned my head towards the familiar voice. The voice I knew so well above all others. “N…Nobu-naga…”

I felt his hand on my cheek and slowly my eyes opened and my vision was slightly blurry, but I could just make out the shape of his handsome face. “Yes, I am here.” He said, breathing a sigh of relief. “I am glad to see you awake.”

My vision slowly came into focus in the dim light that surrounded us. “H-how long have I been…out?” I asked as I tried to figure out where we were…there were solid walls behind Nobunaga and ceiling above us. We weren’t in a tent.

“A few days.” Nobunaga answered.

“Where are we?” I asked. “This…doesn’t look like the medical tent.”

“The battle is finished…and your injury…it was too great…we needed to get you some place where you could be properly treated. The monks here have great medicine.” Nobunaga answered.

“Monks…where are we?”

“Hono-ji.”
