🦌Ieyasu Tokugawa {Tourette's Syndrome} [IkeSen]

I looked around.

Ieyasu wasn't anywhere to be seen.

The room was unfamiliar, yet I felt like I'd been here a thousand times before.

And I have been here a thousand times.

I slowly got up and went to my bedroom window.

When I pulled apart the curtains and allowed light to flood and fill the room, I jumped back.

I..

I was in the present the whole time..?

W-what about Sasuke..?

Is Ieyasu alright?

Wait....

Where exactly am I..?

I went outside the room and found nurses and doctors wheeling away injured patients.

W-wait, was I-?

"Miss, please go back to your room."

Gingerly holding my shoulder, a nurse tenderly walked me back to my bedside.

"There you go. The doctor will be here shortly."

As she closed the door, I rolled my eyes.

It seems people still think I am a fragile porcelain doll..

I closed my eyes and clenched my hands, thinking about how Ieyasu treated me like a normal human, whilst also showing a side he wouldnt normally show to others.. To me..

Reminicing those little moments with him made tears form. I blinked them away, sniffing.

I need to stay strong...

When the door opened, I saw Sasuke walk in.

"Hey, Y/N. Nice to see you're awake."

"H-hey, Sasuke."

"Yeah. Nice to see you awake, as well.."

"So how'd we get here?"

"Precisely at 12:20 at night, the storm happened to pass by both Kasaugayama and Azuchi."

"And then we were sent back?"

Sasuke nodded.

"Yes. We're stuck here another 3 months at the least, so we could be stuck here at least a year, maybe."

I looked down as I reflected on that.

At least, I get to go to my new job to distract myself, right?

At least...

I used my job to distract me from my thoughts..

To stay strong..

..But..

Was I really being strong..?

Or was I running from my problems?

I guess only Time will tell.

--2 years later--

I stopped at the Honno-jī Temple, thinking about how Sasuke and I travelled back in time..

How I met everyone in Azuchi...

How I came to know Hideyoshi and his motherly side (Mamayoshi)...

And how I...

How I met and came to know the third of Japan's Three Great Unifiers...

Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Azuchi's prickly porcupine child..
