" I'm starting to think that peddler ment 3 mountains ahead."
I sighed agreeing.
Luckily my leg wasn't broken but Sprained so a few days I could walk on it again..still hurt a bit but..I had worse.
I looked around for Hyakkimaru.
" wait don't tell me.."
And their he was..rubbing his head on things again..ever since we returned he picked up a strange habit..
" Hyakkimaru..."
He looked at me and said.
" (y/n)...dororo...a horse."
I nodded like a mom would do to a toddler..
" yes..very good."
Dororo walked slowly and said.
" this is crazy!...if that blacksmith isn't there..I'm done..I'm not walking any further.."
Hyakkimaru pulled out his swords and said.
" no..I need these..if he's not there we're going to keep walking.."
I saw the horse tense up with the swords near him and I slowly put them down saying.
" she's only kidding.."
Hyakkimaru looked at me and said.
" good.."
He looked at me and brought his hands down and rubbed my stomach.
He glared.
I blushed and smacked his hands away.
He looked up at me and dororo said.
" alright you two let's go...we have to find munetsuna.."
I nodded and said.
" you ok..you been scaring me the past few days.. here, let's get your swords fixed.."
He watched me take his hand and we followed dororo...wherever we're going.
We made it to a village and dororo talked with a guy.
" oh munetsuna..yeah he lives on the outskirts of the village."
We got excited and the guy said
"You're not going to ask that guy to make those swords right?"
Dororo said.
" he's the best right?"
The guy laughed and looked at the knife that cuts wood saying.
" he forged that for me and I'm not impressed at all...and his daughter okowa is super ugly.."
I looked at the knife.
I walked over to it while dororo and the guy were talking. Hyakkimaru looked over at me wondering what I was doing.
I picked up a pice of wood to test it and chop it.
It went so smoothly I yelped, catching their attention..
This is a wonderful knife!!
So me, dororo and Hyakkimaru went to munetsuna.
Dororo knocked on the door and we waited.
Then a girl opened the door.. I guess that was the daughter.
I saw her and instantly was confused..she's not ugly at all!
I did noticed she stared to long at Hyakkimaru and I got jealous..
" uh..hello..is this munetsuna place?"
The girl got so happy and said.
" yes! That's my papa..he's the best blacksmith ever!"
Dororo smiled and said.
" can he fix these.."
Dororo showed the swords and she looked at them. At first she was shocked at the damage and said he probably could. I then watched Hyakkimaru raise his hands..
No wait..please don't..
Then he grabbed her face rubbing his head on hers.
I blushed outta jealousy and pushed him off.
Hyakkimaru looked at me shocked and I said.
" don't do that!!"
" why?"
" because I said not too!"
" I don't get it??"
The girl watched and blushed at Hyakkimaru..
I turned around and said
"let's just go in!"
I calmed down at bit but her stupid blushing face wasn't helping.
" just wait here for a bit..he might get mad..first impression are everything!"
Then she went to get him.
Dororo looked in and said.
" bro! Sis..look at these.."
Me and Hyakkimaru peeked our heads from the door and saw these funny masks.
Dororo gave Hyakkimaru and me a mask and we put them on.
I started to giggle..we looked up and I saw them looking at us.
I quickly pulled my mask down embarrassed.
" those swords.."
Munetsuna asked.
" have you killed with them?"
It was awkward silence for awhile but he instructed us to follow him to a temple to purify the swords. We made it to the temple and okowa talked about the gods that stay here.
I kinda ignored everything she said. I guess I need to work on my jealousy more..
But I noticed a flash of green and looked at Hyakkimaru.
He looked up in the sky.
" hey did you see that.."
He looked at me.
" no.."
I realized he can't see and I smacked my face.
I'm an idiot..
" sorry..it was nothing.."
Munetsuna told Hyakkimaru to put his swords on this rack.
I watched dororo pull Hyakkimaru to it. But..Hyakkimaru picked up dororo and placed him on it instead.
" what the...Hyakkimaru what are you doing?"
Dororo was confused and Hyakkimaru looked at his hands.
Dororo got up and placed the swords on for him.
And we all stood and prayed.
Now it's nighttime and we stayed at in inn.
" geez...I'm pooped.."
I nodded laying on my stomach so I can look at Hyakkimaru.
He looked depressed??
" Hyakkimaru don't worry...munetsuna said he'd bring the swords here when they're done...now..come lay down.."
He stayed and said.
" the swords..will come here?"
I nodded.
He looked up and said.
" I don't need them."
I looked confused at Hyakkimaru.
He looked up at me shocked.
Dororo sat up.
" ha..I must be tired cause I thought you said you didn't need them.."
"Don't..need..them.."
This time I sat up confused.
" Hyakkimaru! What?! You must be tired..."
Hyakkimaru covered his mouth.
Then we heard okowa..
" mr.hyaku, dororo...oh yes and (y/n)..it's me, okowa."
I glared at the door..
We clearly don't like each other.
Why is she calling him ' mr.hyaku...'
Dororo noticed my jealous aura and sweat dropped nervously.
She came in with food and sat beside dororo. I made my way closer to Hyakkimaru.
" wow I'm so hungry thanks!"
But she smacked dororos hand away saying.
"No..the master of the house eats first.."
She then looked at Hyakkimaru.
I snarled and crossed my arms.
Hyakkimaru looked at me confused.
" you know when we get the swords back we're leaving right?"
She nodded and said.
" I'm prepared to go with you.."
I growled and said.
" really! I'm so happy. Then make sure you stay close!"
I covered my mouth.
The hell?!!
Dororo looked at me shocked.
Hyakkimaru looked at me too.
Okowa smiled and said.
" really! I'm so happy too. We'll be amazing friends.."
I covered my face angry.. why did it come out the complete opposite way I wanted it too!!
Dororo groaned and said.
" tell her bro..tell her she can't come.."
Hyakkimaru then said.
" I will be with okowa."
I froze and looked at him.
What..
Dororo noticed me and said.
" h-hey you shouldn't joke around like that.."
" I'm not joking.."
I said hurt.
" you're not right.."
What again?!
Dororo then said.
" what?! The journey.."
" I quit."
" and the rest of your body?"
" don't want it. I'm fine like this."
" stop joking around I'm serious!!"
" I'm not joking.."
Dororo grabbed her hair annoyed and said.
" sis do you believe this.."
" what do you mean? I think he's totally telling the truth and I think Hyakkimaru and okowa should always be together.."
I covered my mouth.
Oh god why.
Hyakkimaru looked at me shocked.
I looked at him and he said.
" you look..happy.."
I held his hand and said.
" I don't need your help!"
He looked confused so did dororo.
" oh god you too sis?! Ok..then what about me."
Me and Hyakkimaru looked at her and said.
" don't have to be together anymore.."
Me and Hyakkimaru looked at dororo shocked.
Dororo looked hurt and said.
" so what about you?! Where would you go now sis?!"
I put my hand up and pointed to us three.
" far away from you two forever.."
What is happening I swear it's annoying..
" what?! Are you gonna marry tahomaru then?!! "
I shook my hand and said.
" yeah probably."
Omg shut up!
Hyakkimaru growled and grabbed my arm.
" you better be with him.."
He looked shocked and said again.
" you're not mine!"
okowa said.
" mr.hyaku I don't mind really..these two can stay.."
I glared at her.
I stood up and glared at Hyakkimaru.
" just to let you know I always hated you..."
And I walked out.
That came out so wrong and I said scared at the door.
" I ment hate..hate HATE."
I groaned and ran out.
Fine Hyakkimaru...take okowa..
So since I ran off I been ignoring Hyakkimaru .
I saw he was gonna marry okowa and thought it was strange..
But my heart can't watch it.
I sat in the same room with them while I watched people come in and say awful but at the same time nice things to them. Hyakkimaru kept looking at me and I rubbed my sprained leg.
Okowa explained what a wedding was and Hyakkimaru looked at me.
I looked at him confused. His future wife is right next to him..stop looking at me. Then I heard dororo slam open the door.
" wedding? hah! I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart!"
Dororo said some more nice things and I kinda sat there listening to them..dead inside..
Hyakkimaru stood up and said.
" (y/n)..dororo...it's ok..I will be okowa husband.."
After he said that dororo left. I stayed until the end outta pure shock. I finally walked out...
I stood outside and looked at the water..
Something is happening.. I don't know if it had to do with that green light but..who knows..maybe he wants this..I mean.. I'm no better..I'm Engaged with tahomaru..maybe this is for the best. I mean I can't always play two men..I need to marry one..maybe this is a sign..
I heard foot steps and saw Hyakkimaru.
" wait..Hyakk-"
He looked at me determined and forcefully grabbed my face kissing me.
I attempted to pull away but he just growled and said.
" why.."
I tried to stop him because if someone saw us they might think he's cheating..
But he only pressed harder.
I turned my head breaking free saying..
" do you hate okowa??"
I said..I ment love but..whatever at this point.
Hyakkimaru covered my lips again.
I pushed him away successfully but accidentally landed wrong on my sprained leg.
I fell and Hyakkimaru went to me.
" (y/n)..."
He held me up and frowned saying.
" you have tahomaru kid...right?"
I felt him hold my stomach.
I instantly stood up and said.
" w-what?! O-of course I do who told you that?!"
I covered my mouth forgetting that stupid thing..
Hyakkimaru looked shocked and said.
" how? "
I heard okowa call for him and he closed his eyes walking in.
I clenched my fist hating to remind myself of this.
" I can have babies! I always could!"
I frowned..
He looked at me and said.
" how?"
Does he want to know how to have babies??!! Cause I'm not telling him.
I watched Hyakkimaru go inside and I went off to find dororo.
Ok..this needs to stop!
____________
Hyakkimaru walked in and said.
" babies..how?"
Okowa blushed and said.
" you go so fast! But here I'll tell you~ but only after the wedding got it!"
Okowa told Hyakkimaru and Hyakkimaru blood begun to boil..
________
I found Dororo in the fields and I begun to speak normally again.
I sighed relieved. Dororo and I decided to leave this town and find another swordsmith elsewhere.
We snuck into the place munetsuna kept them but he stopped us. He convinced us to stay and wait until he was done but dororo fell asleep.
" what a day.."
" so tell me..was that man your boyfriend."
I Blushed and looked at munetsuna.
" what do you mean was...he still is.."
Munetsuna Smiled and I sat up.
" hey! I actually ment that!"
He sighed and said..
" get some sleep..I'll explain all this tomorrow.."
I nodded and held dororo close..I said some mean things back there..I'll apologize tomorrow..
The next morning we saw munetsuna finishing up Hyakkimaru swords and he explained there was this trickster demon that used to play with the villagers..
So I stormed out of the the temple to give that little crap a piece of my mind.
I found a rock and me and dororo threw it at him. Making him fall off.
While we did that Hyakkimaru and okowa came up.
" bro that's the ghoul that's been making us act weird!"
Hyakkimaru glared at it and ran.
Then the ghoul made him turn around and Hyakkimaru ran at dororo.
I noticed Hyakkimaru hands were up and I pushed dororo out of the way.
Hyakkimaru wrapped his hands around my throat.
I looked at him and realized just how strong his hands really are.
Hyakkimaru looked at me scared and shocked.
" (y/n).."
"Bro stop you'll kill her!!"
Okowa and dororo came over..
I was just about to close my eyes when he suddenly stopped.
I coughed and Hyakkimaru picked me up and hugged me sadly..
" (y/n).."
I patted his back and said.
" you're ok...I'm so sorry I doubted you...and those things I said...I never ment a word.."
He looked at me and gave you a kiss.
Okowa watched with red cheeks and understood..
She smiled knowing she lost him.
At the end okowa knew everyone was speaking the opposite and I apologize to Hyakkimaru and dororo. They did also. Okowa cut off the wedding and they apologized to the villagers.
Hyakkimaru got his swords back and we continued our journey..
But even if they talked the opposite..
There was still one question that didn't make sense either way..
" hey Hyakkimaru.."
He looked at me smiling.
" yeah.."
Dororo looked up and noticed the atmosphere shift. She stopped and looked at me.
" what did you mean by tahomaru and a baby?"
Hyakkimaru looked shocked then frowned..
" you have his child..he told me.."
Dororo eyes went wide and said.
" what?! Sis..you..and..what?!!"
I blushed and said.
" he's lying!!"
Hyakkimaru still didn't look convinced and said.
" sex.."
I looked shocked. Like a toddler just said a swear.
" h-how do you..know that word?!!"
" okowa told me..."
Of course she did..
Dororo put her head to my stomach and I backed off..
" there's no way!..because I...I'm..."
I looked down sad and held my stomach..
" I'm... sterile...I can't have kids even if I wanted too.."
I cried..all I wanted was to have a kid..I wanted to be a mom..so bad..
Dororo looked at me sad and held my hand..
" I'm sorry..hey it's alright..."
I nodded and Hyakkimaru looked at me.
He kissed my cheek and said.
" forgive me.."
I nodded and said.
" o-ok! Enough sadness..."
I picked dororo up and spun her in my arms.
I heard her laugh and I smiled.
I may not be able to have kids of my own...but I have a wonderful one right here.
Hyakkimaru smiled and saw our souls dance.
