Stories
5Troubled Heart
After her father was bedridden, Kichou became the favored head of the household because of her expert swordsmanship and mature decision-making.
Soon to become the youngest master of the house, there were two matters that bothered Kichou.
First, she had to take care of family affairs big and small piling up every day while bearing the gossips of people questioning her capability.
Second, her mischievous little sister Saya.
If intimidation and food don't work, what else can she do to make this troublemaker behave at home by herself?
Waiting For You to Come Home
"Hmph! You're finally back! Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you!?"
"Saya! I want you to come down from the table right now!"
Frankly, it's not so bad to have a sticky little sister welcoming you home from a long day of work settling family affairs.
"If you don't come down now, I'm going to finish all the yokan."
"Eh? Yokan!? I want to eat!"
But as the older sister, it pains me to keep my little sister waiting until so late every day. I should be the one waiting at home for her, even if only once in a while.
In the future, I'll be the one waiting for you...
The Name of Murasaki
Saya... In the name of Murasaki...live...
Warriors wearing the clothing of Tobunkai came to the village and massacred the people. The whole of Murasaki family's territory was engulfed in flames. Kichou swung her sword at the mindlessly attacking enemies without the slightest idea of the reason for their attack. Her hands soon became numb and the sword fell from her hands.
Before she collapsed, the last thing she saw was a pair of blood red lips.
"From now on, the sole reason for your existence is to be a vessel!"
Mitsuhide Akechi
Mitsuhide Akechi was Nobunaga Oda's right-hand man during the Sengoku period. Having followed Nobunaga on his journey in taking over the world, he was crowned "traitor" after the Honnoji incident.
Tensho 10, Nobunaga led a handful of loyal retainers into the Dream world to destroy the source of Nightmares, the Tree of Life. The entrance was set to be at Honnoji temple. Mitsuhide was tasked with guarding the temple grounds and burning the temple in order to keep the Dream's entrance open.
The fire lasted for three days. As it was about to go out, Mitsuhide's defense line was broken. Before he took his final breath, he became a Lens. A burning Dream was thus created, and using himself as fuel, he kept the road of victory illuminated.

Is this what death feels like? It's not as painful as I've imagined, but...I want to see you one last time, Saya...
For a long while, Kichou's life was hanging by a thread and her mind was in a blur. Suddenly, she seemed to hear a faint voice calling her in the darkness, saying, "Lend me your body and you shall live".
All Kichou wanted was to see her sister again, everything else didn't matter.
The fire of life that was about to go out started burning bright again.
My wish is to wait for the return of one.
