To Hell and Back.

(Insert evil laughter here) Hehehe… It’s that time again! I’m on fire! I love writing chapters for those who are still reading. I’d like to thank my three loyal readers, Yuka-san, TripleMGurl and Airtomorrow. On my ADD account, I’d like to thank Starry Dreamer. Please keep reading!

Okay…. I’ll be putting some of my research to use here. Don’t yell at me too bad if I get it wrong. Like I said, I’ll be historically incorrect in this fic.

Warnings- (should I even bother writing this?) Swearing and dun, dun, dun, dun!!! Mansex.

P.S, I can’t wait for the new game to come out. I am dying inside from need. Thank you.

Chapter 11-Hide and seek.

For the next few days, Kanetsugu got used to Mitsunari’s home, Sawayama Castle. The place was huge and Kanetsugu got easily confused. His old family home wasn’t this big… It was nice when Mitsunari was there to show him around but soon his busy little lover was out trying to set up for the meetings before the other lords arrived. Leaving poor Kanetsugu to find his way around.

With his sharp memory, it didn’t take him long to memorize the halls. Plus, little Tatsuko would follow on his heels, wishing to play with him the moment he had free time. Kanetsugu didn’t mind playing with Tatsuko or any of the boys for that matter. Though the boys were more reserved and played with there toy models, rather than coming to bug Kanetsugu. Tatsuko, however was a raging tomboy but wanted to be treated like a princess. Just like Mitsunari. Those two were so much alike, it scared Kanetsugu.

Tatsuko had Mitsunari’s pretty chocolate colored eyes and made all the same facial expressions. She acted just like him too. If only her hair was auburn… If it was, she’d be a female Mitsunari clone. His sons looked like clones too. Tatsuko had her mothers, and apparently, Kanetsugu’s hair color.

Kanetsugu never wore his helmet in the house. He thought it would be disrespectful in Mitsunari’s home to keep it on. It didn’t really bother him too much when Shigeie and Sakichi stole it from his room once and started hiding there sweets and bug collections in it. Kanetsugu had caught them doing so and just let it go. He made a mental note, however, to wash that helmet out and to always check inside his helmet before putting it on.

He had found out that the elderly woman’s name, that seemed to take care of ……just about everything, was named Sakura. She was the main caretaker of the children and handmaid of the whole house. Kanetsugu made it perfectly clear that he intended to help out while he was here. Sakura had given him an odd look when he helped her with the dishes but didn’t complain. Kanetsugu needed something to occupy his time while he was here and Mitsunari was setting up for the meetings. So, He’d figured he’d clean. It’s what he used to do for his old master, Kenshin, when he got bored.

He was helping Sakura hang the wet laundry out to dry, when the elderly woman finally had the nerve to ask.

“Lord Naoe….. Shouldn’t these sort of household tasks be….beyond you? You are a mighty lord! Not a common house slave.”

Kanetsugu smiled at her. “I am a servant, though. I serve Mitsunari. Besides, I like cleaning. It keeps your mind off troubling things.”

“Do you not have a wife capable to clean for you?”

Kanetsugu paused. “No. I don’t have a wife at all. I’ve never been married.”

Sakura’s eyes widened in shock. “Never married? Oh my…. If you’ll forgive me for saying, Lord Naoe, you’re very handsome! You could have plenty of women at your disposal in an instant!”

‘And men too it seems…’

Kanetsugu laughed and shrugged. “You can just call me Kanetsugu, Sakura. And thank you for the compliment. However, I’m perfectly happy without a wife.”

‘Because I have Mitsunari….. And he’s all I’ll ever need.’

“Nonsense!” She persisted. “There are some pretty girls in the village below. I can always send for some….”

“No. That’s quite alright….” Kanetsugu thought for a moment. “Sakura…..How long have you been with The Ishida family?”

She smiled. “Since Master was just a young boy. I nursed him, you know. His mother passed away soon after he was born.”

“What about, Mitsunari’s wife? What was she like? What was her name?” For some reason, Kanetsugu couldn’t let the thought of her go, even though Mitsunari assured him that he never loved her.

Sakura gained a fond smile. “Ah… The Mistress. Lady Mika. She was beautiful… She was kind and gentle… and...” She looked up at Kanetsugu and her smile fell. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you two were related.”

Kanetsugu lifted an eyebrow. “How so?”

“You look…..almost identical. She had the same hair color as you, the same eye color, the same features and facial expressions. You look like a male version of her.”

Kanetsugu felt his heart stop. He looked like Mitsunari’s dead wife….. Was he just…. A replacement?

“The master was very unhappy however...” She continued. “He didn’t want to marry, Lady Mika and was forced into it by his father. I remember the night it happened. He came to me crying his little eyes out and screaming about how much he didn’t want to marry her. He told me, he wanted to fall in love first. He never so much as batted an eye at any other woman however…” She looked up at Kanetsugu again. “Can you keep a secret, Lord Kanetsugu?”

Kanetsugu rolled his eyes at the use of the word, Lord again. Then he smiled at the old lady. “Of coarse I can. Anything you say to me I shall hold in confidence.”

She sighed. “I think my master prefers the company of men.”

Kanetsugu held back laughter. How true that was.

“And….” She continued, “Please don’t get scared and run away when I say this, but…. I believe my Master is in love……with you.”

Kanetsugu’s hands paused on the cloth he was smoothing out on the line. He avoided eye contact. “Oh? Is he now?”

“He looks at you in a way that he’s never looked at anyone! I see love behind his eyes when he sees you…Oh! Please forgive me, Lord Kanetsugu…..”

Kanetsugu smiled at the old woman. He didn’t know if Mitsunari wanted the old woman knowing about there relationship. “Would it bother you, if he truly did love me?”

Sakura was silent for a moment. “No. You are a wonderful man. The kids love you, you can clean, and cook and I’m sure you’d be able to please my Master…. I couldn’t be happier if he loved you.”

“Can you keep a secret, Sakura?”

She nodded rapidly.

“I love him too.” He said with a smile. She beamed instantly and hugged Kanetsugu’s arm.

“Make my Master happy…”

“I already do.”

They laughed as they continued to hang the laundry. She told Kanetsugu about some very old stories, concerning Mitsunari. They were very embarrassing and Kanetsugu stored them in his ammo to use against Mitsunari, later. Tatsuko ran out to them and started to pull on Kanetsugu’s pant leg. He scooped the little girl up into his arms. He expected her to smile but all he got was a frown.

“What’s wrong, Tatsuko?”

“The scary men are here, Kane-sama.”

Both Sakura and Kanetsugu headed toward the entrance. Mitsunari was greeting them at the door. Kanetsugu instantly recognized them all. There was Otani Yoshitsugu, Mashita Nagamori, and Ankokuji Ekei.

“Ah…Mitsunari Ishida.” Ekei spoke coming forward to grasp his hand. “Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home.” He looked around and spotted Sakura, Kanetsugu and little Tatsuko who was still in Kanetsugu’s arms. “Oh….”

He walked past Mitsunari and neared them. “This must be your wife and daughter. There both very……beautiful.”

Kanetsugu blinked. Mitsunari’s eyes widened and suddenly looked like he had to laugh. Kanetsugu realized that that man, Ekei, just called him a woman.

“Wife?” he repeated with his masculine voice. Ekei looked startled for a moment.

“Oh…My… You’re… a man...”

Mitsunari couldn’t hold it any longer and burst out laughing. Nagamori and Yoshitsugu joined in. Ekei looked down right embarrassed.

“So sorry… What is you name?’

“My name is Kanetsugu Naoe.”

“Come on...” Mitsunari spoke, finally calming his laughter down. “Up stairs you old fart. Let’s get this meeting started.”

When all the old men had gone upstairs, Mitsunari lingered so he could talk to Kanetsugu. Sakura got the hint and left. Tatsuko was too young to understand anyway, so she left her in Kanetsugu’s arms.

“Stop smiling like that, Mitsunari.” Kanetsugu scowled, still not too happy that he was called a girl.

“Why? It’s funny, Kanetsugu. Lighten up. He’s old and his eye sight is terrible.” Mitsunari moved in close and put his arms around Kanetsugu’s neck. Tatsuko just looked up, curiously.

“Mitsunari….not in front of Tatsuko...” Kanetsugu warned as Mitsunari brought his face closer.

“Oh stop it… She’s too young to know anyway...” Mitsunari claimed his lips, silencing all protest. Tatsuko watched them with her large brown eyes.

“Daddy?”

Mitsunari broke the kiss to look down at his daughter. “Yes, sweetie?”

“Is Kane-sama going to be my mommy?”

Kanetsugu’s eyes widened and Mitsunari started laughing again. Kanetsugu gave him the look of, ‘say something!!’

Mitsunari calmed himself down again but still chuckled a bit. “Yep! So you better start calling him, mommy!”

Kanetsugu shoved his shoulder in disapproval. “Mitsunari….” He hissed through clenched teeth.

“Mommy! I wanna go play!” Tatsuko told Kanetsugu and wriggled a bit in his arms. Mitsunari burst out laughing again. Kanetsugu put her down on her own two feet, and then turned his attention back to Mitsunari.

“Look what you’ve done now. She’ll be calling me that forever.”

Mitsunari snickered. “You are my lover and I’m there father, so that makes you, my wife.”

Kanetsugu scowled. “Hey, I should be the father then. I don’t take it.”

Mitsunari didn’t loose his smile. “I told you before. I may take it in the ass, but I’m still the man of our relationship.”

Kanetsugu crossed his arms. “I suppose I will have to get used to this. After all… I do look just like your dead wife...”

Mitsunari’s eyes widened in horror. He opened his mouth to respond but closed it again real quick. An uneasy silence flowed over them. Kanetsugu waited for a response and Mitsunari looked completely lost for words. There was no way he could defend himself from this one.

Kanetsugu was vaguely aware of Tatsuko pulling on his pant leg again. He finally broke eye contact with Mitsunari to look down at the child. “Yes, Tatsuko?”

“Mommy. Come play with me.” She whined. Kanetsugu looked back at Mitsunari.

“Go to your meeting.” Kanetsugu sighed, picking the little girl up. “We’ll talk about this later.” He left a very bewildered Mitsunari in the entrance hall.

Tatsuko looked sadly up at Kanetsugu as He walked outside with her. “Mommy…are you and daddy in a fight?”

“Kanetsugu put her down in the grass and then bent on his knees to sit near her. “No… Don’t worry.

The name Mommy didn’t seem to bother Kanetsugu. He always wanted kids; he’d just never knew that he would be the one called Mommy… Plus when he fell in love with Mitsunari, he thought he’d never be a parent. For Mitsunari, he was willing to give up the chance to ever have children. Now he was a mother to Mitsunari’s and it all felt a bit surreal.

Before Kanetsugu could even blink, he was tackled to the ground by three rambunctious boys. “Kane-sama!!” All three yelled at the same time.

“He’s not Kane-sama anymore!” Tatsuko said with a smile.

‘Uh oh….’

“He’s our Mommy, now!”

The oldest, Shigeie blinked. “Men can’t be Mommies!”

“Yes they can! Daddy said that Kane-sama is our new Mommy!”

All three boys blinked that time. Shigeie got off Kanetsugu’s back and bent down level with his face. “Is it true? Are you are new Mommy?”

He saw hope in the boys eyes and couldn’t deny him the pleasure of having a mommy. “Yes…” He sighed reluctantly. All four children looked thrilled.

Sakichi pouted. “Will you play with us, Mommy?”

“Yea!” Shigenari added. “Come play Hide and seek with us!”

“You’re the seeker!” Shigeie said with a smile.

Kanetsugu sat up with a smile. “Okay.”

All four children ran off to find hiding places and Kanetsugu stood up completely. The kids were going to wear him out fast.

Kanetsugu spent most of the day looking for the kids. He had found Tatsuko right away. She was hiding behind a bush, not even a foot away from where they started. So she climbed on his back to help him seek her brothers. He’s found Shigeie in his room hiding under his blankets. He found Sakichi attempting to hide behind a houseplant. He found Shigenari last. Shigenari was hiding under a low table in the family alter room and was actually quite well hidden.

Tatsuko yawned and he knew it was getting late. Sakura came and helped him put all of the children to bed. Each one wanted a kiss goodnight from there new, ‘Mommy’.
When they had finished, they walked around the halls chatting a bit until Mitsunari rounded a corner and came face to face with them. Sakura immediately bowed and took her leave. They were alone now.

Mitsunari looked down at the floor trying to avoid eye contact. “Kanetsugu….”

“You don’t need to say anything, Mitsunari. You know that I’ve already forgiven you.”

Mitsunari walked forward and put his arms around Kanetsugu’s neck. “I love you. I swear to God, I do. It’s a coincidence that you resemble her.”

“I know you love me.” Kanetsugu wrapped his arms around Mitsunari’s thin waist. “I know I'm not her replacement. You never did like women, did you?”

Mitsunari shook his head. “No…. I’ve always liked men.”

“So why would I be mad at you? I belong to you and you belong to me. I have nothing to fear. That woman is in your past and I am here now and in your future. That is enough for me.”

They held each other in that hallway for a while. Suddenly Mitsunari broke there silence. “Hang on... I have an idea.”

“Uh oh.”

“No. It’s a good idea.” He playfully smacked Kanetsugu’s arm. “What game where you playing with the kids?”

“Hide and seek…. Why?”

Mitsunari smiled. “Those old geezers are asleep now, so I can come play with you. How about we play, hide and seek?”

Kanetsugu lifted an eyebrow. “Why?”

“Let me put it this way….” Mitsunari smirked and brought his lips up to Kanetsugu’s ear. “If you find me, you’ll get a reward.”

Kanetsugu swallowed the large lump that formed in his throat. “Ahhhh okay…”

“Good! That’s what I wanted to hear.” Mitsunari pulled away from him and immediately took off down the hall. Kanetsugu gave him a head start even though his body was tingling from there close contact only moments before.

He gave him a minute or two, and then took off looking for Mitsunari. He checked everywhere but to no avail. He was no where down stairs. He was sure of it… The only room upstairs that wasn’t a guest quarters was…..

He grinned and took off upstairs. Their room. Why hadn’t he though about it before?
He went inside and shut the door behind him. No one seemed to be in here… Then he heard rustling in the closet. He walked over to it and slid it open.

No one stood in the closet. He sighed. Where could Mitsunari be…? He felt sudden, wetness on the outside of his pants. It struck him quickly that he had neglected to look down. Mitsunari was on his knee’s licking the crotch part of Kanetsugu’s pants. Kanetsugu felt the blood rush quickly south at the erotic sight.

“Mitsunari…” He whispered.

Mitsunari smiled against the fabric. “You found me…” He nuzzled his face against the obviously growing bulge. “Would you like your reward?”

Kanetsugu swallowed the lump in his throat again. “Yes…”

Mitsunari snaked his way up Kanetsugu’s body and kissed his lips. He started to push Kanetsugu backward. Kanetsugu felt his knees hit there bed and then was shoved forcefully back onto it by Mitsunari. Mitsunari grinned wickedly, and then climbed in between Kanetsugu’s legs.

He began to pull the taller male’s pants down, agonizingly slow. He licked Kanetsugu’s hip bones, making him squirm. He finally freed Kanetsugu’s straining erection from his pants and gave the tip a small lick. Kanetsugu’s hips spazed at the feeling of a wet tongue. Mitsunari held his hips down, so he wouldn’t buck into his mouth. Mitsunari allowed his throat to relax so he could take Kanetsugu inside fully.

Kanetsugu wanted to cry out at his lover’s warm mouth but bit his lip. He didn’t know how thick the walls were and there were people sleeping a few doors down. Mitsunari began to bob his head slowly just to frustrate the other man. Kanetsugu gripped Mitsunari’s hair and gave it a tug. He needed this to go faster than it was. He tried to thrust but Mitsunari’s hands kept him down. He could feel his frustration filling up.

Thankfully, Mitsunari began to suck and bob his head faster. He felt warm pressure begin to build in his abdomen. Suddenly it ended and Mitsunari got off him. Kanetsugu growled in irritation. He reached down to pleasure himself, but Mitsunari slapped his hands away.

“Cut it out. I’m only getting undressed.”

Kanetsugu propped himself up on his elbows to watch. Mitsunari was so beautiful…

When he had finished he crawled back on the bed and straddled Kanetsugu’s waist.

“Mitsunari…?”

“I want you inside…” Mitsunari whispered and reached behind him to grab hold of Kanetsugu’s manhood. Then he lifted himself a bit and hovered over it. Without worry, he lowered himself fully onto it with a low moan. Kanetsugu’s hips spazed again. He wanted to thrust up into that tight heat, but wouldn’t until he was sure Mitsunari was ready for it.

Kanetsugu placed his hands on Mitsunari’s hips to steady him. Mitsunari let go of the breath he was holding and opened his eyes to look down into Kanetsugu’s golden orbs.
He reached down and touched Kanetsugu’s cheek with his finger tips. “God Damnit. I love you…”

“I love you too.” Kanetsugu smiled up at him.

Mitsunari lifted himself a bit and then lowered himself again. He kept going until he established a good rhythm. Kanetsugu rocked his hips in time with Mitsunari to double the pleasure they felt. Mitsunari’s fingers, clenched and unclenched on his lovers chest as he was pounded into.

Mitsunari felt Kanetsugu strike that place, which made him see stars. He let out a soft yelp that did not go unnoticed. Kanetsugu took control and hit that place over and over again. Mitsunari whined as they went faster. His body was coursing with pleasure and he felt his climax drawing near. He kept his brown eyes locked on Kanetsugu’s half-lidded gold ones. With a soft whimper, he came on both of their chests.

Kanetsugu felt his lovers walls tighten around him and with a groan, he buried himself deep inside before he came as well.

After Kanetsugu had gotten a rag and cleaned them both off, they lay together under the silk blankets. They stared lovingly at each other.

“How are the meetings?” Kanetsugu asked with a soft smile.

Mitsunari rolled his eyes and snuggled deeply into Kanetsugu’s arms. “Boring. Though I think we can get Mori Terumoto on our side. After that were going to press forward against the Tokugawa army and try to take over the Mino Province.”

‘The Mino Province…’

Kanetsugu thought carefully. What was in the Mino Province? Only one name stood out among the others. Sekigahara….. He didn’t know why, but the thought of that place filled him with dread. He couldn’t remember anything bad ever happening to him at Sekigahara before, so why was it bothering him?

“Kanetsugu?”

“Hum?” Mitsunari’s voice had broken him out of thought.

“Let’s get some sleep, okay?”

“Okay...”

He had stayed awake a while after Mitsunari had fallen asleep. Something wasn’t right. His instincts told him so, but he couldn’t put his finger on it….

Tehe… Chapter 11 is done.
Uhoh…..Sekigahara……eeps.
Review please.
