To Hell and Back.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! This is fun!
After playing Samurai warriors 2 Empires, for four hours strait, I relized how much I like the Kanetsugu X Mitsunari couple. If you have it, get the 'true friends' cutscene. It's soooo cute!^^ I will probably make Mitsunari say the famous quote to Kanetsugu somewhere in this story. Also I made Kanetsugu have a new Nickname for Mitsunari that will carry over into my other stories. I edited this chapter today. Yay for insominia! it's two in the morning and I can't sleep!

Kay. Enough talk. Story time.

Chapter 4- If you cant stand the heat, get out of the bath.

Kanetsugu awoke in another cold sweat. He had had another dream. This one had started out to be very interesting.

It started with Mitsunari showing up and wanting to cuddle with him. As much as Kantesugu had protested, Mitsunari snuck his way into a cuddle session anyway. It started with cuddling and somehow turned into a groupe session. There was kissing and touching everywhere.....

Kanetsugu swore it all felt so real. He could recal the scent of Mitsunari's hair, the feel of his body moving with his own and the light and satisfying presure of Mitsunari's lips on his neck.

He sat up in bed and let his fingers ghost over where dream Mitsunari had nuzzled his neck. He admited that it had turned him on and now he had to deal with that problem later.

He was suprised when he saw no one in this room.

'Where is everyone? What time is it?'

He looked out the window and saw that the sun had rose a long time ago and everyone was off doing there duitys for the day. Kanetsugu cursed to himself. Why hadn't Yukimura tried to wake him? He'd ask the boy later. Fow now, all he wanted was a bath. He need to relive his problem and he felt dirty. He'd been dreaming these things for almost a week now and need a bath after everyone one of them.

He smiled slightly to himself as he put on his robe and headed for the bath house. At least no one would be in there to watch him take care of his problem.

When he opened the bath house door, his eyes widened. Sitting in the large bath, was the tormentor from his dreams. Mitsunari sat against the edge, eyes closed in relaxation. Kanetsugu was going to back out and leave, but Mitsunari opened his eyes and spotted him.

"Hi, Kanetsugu."

"Uh.... Hello, Mitsunari...."

"Come on in, the water is nice and warm."

"I-er-uh....I'll wait."

"Don't be stupid. Were both men, now get in."

Kanetsugu saw no escape. He couldn't just leave because he'd get a lot of questions that he couldn't answer later. So he walked over to the opposite end of the bath and sat on the edge while his feet dangled in.

He needed to get rid of his problem before he steped into the bath, so he tried to think of something gross.

'....Lets see here.... Ieyasu Tokugawa.... gross... fat pig.... okay, what else..."

"Kanetsugu.....?"

'uh........Ieyasu Tokugawa and Tadakatsu Honda.........getting closer...'

"Kanetsugu...."

'Um! Ieyasu and Tadakatsu having sex while Hanzo watches! EWWWWWW!!! Okay. That worked....' He sighed in relief.

"Kanetsugu!"

"Hum? Wha?"

Mitsunari had moved closer and he was within arms reach.

"I've been calling you, stupid. Stop daydreaming and get in or I'll force you in."

Kanetsugu laughed, relived that his problem had been solved for the momment and he wasn't worried about sharing the bath with Mitsunari now.

"Why?" He joked playfully. "Are you that eagar to see me naked, Mitsunari?"

To his surprise, he thought he saw Mitsunari blush. The smaller man looked away and began to wash his hair.

Kanetsugu shrugged to himself and dis-robed. He was faintly aware of Mitsunari watching him. He took the tie out of his hair and let it hang loose around his sholders. He got in the tub and began to scrub himself witha rag.

He let his eyes linger on Mitsunari for a momment. After being around a bunch of ugly sweaty guys all day, Mitsunari was very easy on the eyes. Kanetsugu admited to himself that Mitsunari was pretty. Beautiful even. But that didn't mean he wanted him.

"Kanetsugu?"

"Yes?"

"Will you scrub my back for me?"

"What? You can't do it yourself?"

Mitsunari pouted. "Well, I always miss a part of my back that I can't reach..."

Kanetsugu sighed with a smile. "Fine."

Mitsunari smiled happly and went to the edge on the bath. He leaned against the sides with his back facing Kanetsugu. Kanetsugu came over with the rag and started to scrub his back.

'What a little brat he is...' Kanetsugu smiled to himself. "though I do allow him to be that way...'

"That feels nice." Mitsunari spoke with a sigh.

"Hum?"

"Despite the fact, that you use a sword, you're hands are surprisingly gentle."

"Oh?"

"Yes.... Do you think you could just use your hands and not the rag?"

Kanetsugu blinked at bit confused. "Why?"

Mitsunari huffed. "Just do it."

Kanetsugu rolled his eyes and put the rag down. He placed his hands on Mitsunari's sholders and began to rub them.

"Happy now, Princess?"

"Yes, but don't call me princess."

Kanetsugu grinned. He thought Princess suited Mitsunari perfectly.

He kept rubbing that pale skin, marvling slightly at the softness to it. His hands started to rub lower on there own accord and he stoped only when he heard Mistaunari let out a soft, "ooh."

Kanetsugu blushed instantly and felt himself wake up again. Shit, shit, shit, shit!!

Mitsunari smiled lazily back at him. "What's wrong? It felt nice...."

"I- uh....."

"Keep going."

Kanetsugu was thankful that Mitsunari couldn't see the blush on his face right now. He complied to the 'princesses' wishes and keep rubbing the middle of his back. Kanetsugu huffed at his own foolishness. He could never say no to Mitsunari. Mitsunari, he was sure, he knew fact and used it to his advantage. That made Kanetsugu wonder to himself. Why couldn't he say no? It's just when he looked into Mitsunari's chocolate colored doe eyes, he lost the ability to argue. Who could say no to that beautiful and seemingly innocent face?

Mitsunari purred like a happy kitten. "I should have you do this more often for me. It feels so nice."

"Really? I've never done this before...."

"Well... You're good at it."

Kanetsugu smiled and kept rubbing. He wanted to make Mitsunari happy. As much as he hated admiting it, He'd do anything just to see that smile put back on Mitsunari's face.

"You want a turn?" Mitsunari asked, out of the blue.

"Uh......."

"Turn around. I'll return the favor."

Kanetsugu turned around, too stunned and confused to not do what he was told. He rested up against the side now and Mitsunari placed his hands on Kanetsugu's back. The taller man gasped slightly. His fingers felt nice.....just like in his dream.

"Your back is all tense. You should relax more." Mitsunari teased rubbing his sholders softly.

"Oh? This comming from the man who worries about everything?"

"I do not." Mitsunari laughed, running his thumbs in small circles along Kanetsugu's spine. Kanetsugu almost arched into his touch. Mitsunari's fingers felt like heaven.

"Yes you do, Princess."

Mitsunari gave him a playful smack on the back. "Stop calling me Princess!"

Kanetsugu turned around and laughed. "Why, Princess?"

He got splashed for the comment. So he splashed Mitsunari back.

Soon water was everywhere and their laughter filled the room. Even though both men were entering there thirties, they splashed at eachother like little boys. Mitsunari had Kanetsugu pressed flat against the side by a series of rapid splashes. Kanetsugu reached out blindly and grabbed Mitsunari's wrists to stop the splashing in his direction.

Kanetsugu's dark hair stuck to his neck and sholders. It was almost as long as Mitsunari's hair when it was down. Mitsunari smiled gently, to signal that he'd stop splashing. Kanetsugu let go of his wrists and let his arms rest against the side of the bath. He watched as Mitsunari's facial expression changed from playful, to semi-serious. Mitsunari came a bit closer and reached out to touch Kanetsugu's dark hair.

Kanetsugu shut his eyes briefly. He liked the feel of Mitsunari's fingers in his hair. Just like that day at the shore, Kanetsugu felt himself melt at the plesureable feel of Mitsunari's fingers runing gently along his scalp. He hadn't relised how close they had got. They were so close now, that there noses where touching.

"You're handsome, Kanetsugu...." Mitsunari sighed.

Kanetsugu kept his eyes shut and focused on the feeling of Mitsunari's fingers.

"Thanks. I think you're pretty, princess."

He heard Mitsunari scoff. "Though, Im not found of the nickname, I'll allow you to call me that when we are alone like this...."

Mitsunari buried his hands in Kanetsugu's dark hair and placed his head under Kanetsugu's chin. They were pratically embracing. naked skin had met naked skin and it took all of Kanetsugu's will power not to make any noise.

Kanetsugu shuttered when he felt Mitsunari's breath so close to his neck, like in his dream.

"Kanetsugu?"

"Unhun?"

"Does.....this bother you?"

Right now, no. It didn't. He couldn't understand why.

"No." he confurmed, almost wispering. He let his arms leave the side of the tub and instead wrapped them around Mitsunari's thin waist. He knew that Mitsunari could probably feel his erection but at the momment, he didn't care. He simply enjoyed the silence and the feel of Mitsunari's skin against his own.

Then he felt it. Mitsunari's lips on his neck. Mitsunari nipped his flesh gently so he wouldn't leave a mark. Then licked the spot softly.

Kanetsugu couldn't stop the strangled "Ah!" that came out of his mouth. His neck had always been sensitive... He felt Mitsunari smile against his neck.

"Your hard." Mitsunari grinned.

Kanetsugu swallowed the lump in this throat and found his voice.

"So are you, Princess."

Mitsunari pulled his head back and looked deeply ineo Kanetsugu's eyes. He opened his mouth to respond, but the bath house door was flung open.

Sakon Shima entered and looked around. When he spotted the pair, he smiled almost.....knowingly.

"Come on, Mitsunari. Lord Hideyoshi wants to see you."

Mitsunari nodded and Kanetsugu had to regretfully let go of him. He moved away from Kanetsugu then he got out of the tub, slung his robe on and followed Sakon out without a word.

Kanetsugu watched them go, then touched his neck. He once again had to relive himself in the bath.

He couldn't lie to himself any longer. He knew it would hurt Yukimura but he wanted Mitsunari too. Now that he had a sample of Mitsunari, he wanted the whole thing.

*********************************************

Later Kanetsugu sat with Yukimura in the mess hall. They decussed random topics and Kantesugu was happy that the subject of Mitsunari wasn't brought up. He did wonder vagly how long he could hide his feelings from Yukimura. He felt the guilt of keeping such a terrible secret from one of his best friends. He didn't want to lose Yukimura as a friend, just becuse of their mutual love for Mitsunari.

When they were both heading back to there quarters, they spotted Mitsunari and Sakon heading in there direction.

"Hello boys." Mitsunari smiled coyly.

"Hello, Lord Mitsunari!" Yukimura bowed respectfully. It made Mitsunari laugh.

Kanetsugu nodded a greeting.

"Get lots of sleep boys...." Mitsunari sighed. "Because tomorrow, I doubt anyone will be able to..."

"What do you mean, Lord Mitsunari?" Yukimura questioned with a tilt of his head.

"Don't you mind." He smiled warmly enough. "Goodnight boys."

"Goodnight." Both called after him.

Sakon lingered a moment. An errie grin on his normaly, handsome face.

"I wont allow you to claim, Mitsunari's heart..... I'll be watching you..." He wispered to them.

Yukimura took the message as if it were directed at him, But Kanetsugu knew that Sakon was talking directly to him. He had seen how close they had gotten in the bath.

"Sakon!" Mitsunari called over his sholder. "Lets go!"

"Comming!" He smirked at them and ran to catch up with Mitsunari.

"Did you hear that Kanetsugu!? He knows I like Lord Mitsunari!"

'Not that that wasn't painfully obvious anyway.....' Kanetsugu thought quickly.

"Don't worry Yukimura. He cant do anything about it."

He watched there retreating figures and sighed to himself.

'At least, I hope he can't.......'


There we go! Yay for Kanetsugu finally getting it! I like his nickname for Mitsunari. Mitsunari is so difficult to handle, so he acts just like a princess. Sakons a bit scary in this. I know he isn't normally mean and posessive, but he needed to be for the sake of the story.^^;;
