Again, i dont own Samurai Warriors etc, i just own the storyline and Kitami.
Enjoy!

Chapter 9 – Forgiveness

We were at Kuzegawa, and Mitsunari was the leader. We were fighting Ieyasu. He used Hideyoshi's sickness as an advantage. Hideyoshi stayed at Odawara. I was at the main camp with Kushiro, and I didn't want to move. My Kill Count was at zero. I didn't think that I was needed. Kushiro neighed.
"I'm sorry Kushiro, I just don't think I need to fight," I patted his neck, stroking his jet black mane.
He snorted.
"Sorry," I said.
He neighed again, forgiving me.

I was lifeless. I thought about that time in my room. Every time I played back the good bit, it made me cry. I hid the book, refusing to get it out in case I would burn it. I didn't want to. It reminded me too much of him.

"What's up Kitami?"

I looked to my side. Sakon was on his horse, and he looked at me.
"Nothing," I replied grimly.
"Something's up," he said.
"Never mind."
"I know that look. You can tell me," he said.
"Mitsunari doesn't want me anymore," I admitted. I might as well tell someone than keep it to myself.
"Why is that?" he asked. He didn't sound surprised. It almost sounded like he knew what was going on. There better not had been anyone spying on us that night. I thought.
"Well, I told him that I existed 409 years after this time."
He was speechless.
"That's what he did," I mumbled.
"Are you telling me you came from the future?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Seriously?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Do you know what happens here?" he asked.
"I know what happens here, and what happens after this. I know everyone's story, including yours. That's why I know a lot. Remember Yamazaki?" I looked at him.
"No wonder. That's a good gift. Does anybody in your time miss you?" he asked.
"No…I belong here," I said.
"I think so too. So, what happens to Ieyasu?" he asked.
"If you guys work hard enough, Ieyasu will be dead, and Japan will be yours," I replied.
He grinned.
"That's good. You're going to help us with that ok? I don't want to die," he joked.
"You're taking it better than he did," I said.
"Am I?" he asked.
"Yep. He walked away."
"That's harsh. Why did he walk away?"
"I wish I knew."
"Well, are you serious about him?"
"Yes. I am. Very serious,"
"Well, if I was Mitsunari, I would stay,"
"Why is that Sakon?" I looked at him.
"Well, you have a bonus on how everything would turn out. Like battles and whatnot,"
"Are you saying that he'll just use me?" I asked. I thought about that. It was slightly scary, but Mitsunari could pull it off. All he had to do was order me to see what happens next. No polite asking, no smile, no touch, no kiss….
"No of course not!" he interjected.
My daydreaming stopped to a halt.
"You're not convincing me," I said quietly.
"I mean, you would be the type for him. He's even lucky to like a girl in the first place. And from what I'm seeing, he did something didn't he?" he looked at me curiously as a little blood rushed to my cheeks. There wasn't even any blushing left in me anymore. I guess when he decided to ditch me it made its mark.
"Yeah he did something," I replied, swallowing. The battle wasn't going very well. We were on the verge of losing.
"And that was?" he asked.
"He kissed me."
"Well, well, well, the man made a move," he laughed.
"You know this?" I asked.
"Yeah, I know him Kitami. I know him. And you know what? You can do anything. I'm sure he loves you enough to get you back. I bet he's kicking himself right now."
I started to laugh.
"That sounds just about right. I think I should go out shouldn't I? We don't want to lose now do we?" I asked.
"Finally, the old Kitami rises from the dead! Go get 'em kid!" he smiled.
I dug my heels in, and Kushiro ran forward.
I charged out of the camp, leaving my battered emotional wreck behind.

Once I got out, I fixed up everything.
The battle turned in our favour, and I changed everything.
My Kill Count:

1000.

Mitsunari Ishida
We were about to lose. I could see it now.
"This is the last thing I need," I muttered to myself.
"Need help?"
I looked to the entrance of my tent.
"Sakon? What do you want?" I asked.
He smiled, and I didn't know what to think. I was annoyed. And angry. I needed to hit something. But I couldn't leave the camp.
"You have a problem?" asked Sakon.
"No, I don't have a problem Sakon...Of course I have a problem. What do you want?" I asked again, getting irritated.
"Hey, Mitsunari, calm down, I only wanted to talk to you," he held his hands up in a friendly gesture.
"About what?" I asked. I couldn't control my impulses to be rude anymore.
And I felt like that Kitami was being stupid.
Whatever she told me was a lie. I knew it was.
She angered me. Even after I nearly confessed to her that she was the only thing on my mind….
"About Kitami," he replied.
"…What?" I asked. This was a surprise.
"I talked to her," he said.
"Of course you did or you wouldn't have said that you were going to talk to me about Kitami in the first place."
"I guess the old 'I hate everyone and the world' Mitsunari is back huh? Kitami told me about that," he said.

I was silent.
"What did she say about me?" I asked, my voice quivering.
"She said…."
"Hurry up! I haven't got all day!" I said, clenching and unclenching my fists.
"She said that she was serious about you. Very serious. I could hear it too. You shouldn't have ditched her Mitsunari," he crossed his arms.
I was speechless. She was telling the truth after all. I felt a sting of regret.
She cared about me after all. I felt guilty. Slowly, my anger and irritation faded.
"I'm confused," I said.
"About?" he asked.
"I'm not even sure if she loves me or not. I just thought that she told me the truth because she wanted me to go away," I murmured. I suddenly felt stupid.
"You really need to look at yourself Mitsunari. Haven't you even noticed that she changed you so much?"
I stared ahead. I needed to go to her. I needed to apologize. I needed to touch her again.

"I'm going," I said.
"But you can't go out of the camp," he replied.
"Who cares? I'm good enough to survive. And Kitami is good too. I need to tell her I'm sorry," I walked out of the tent, and got on my horse.
"Ok, I'll look after the camp then," he sighed.
"Thank you Sakon, I owe you," I said, smiling lightly.
"No worries catch her before she kills everyone. The battle's in our favour now."

I grinned at the news, and rode off.

Kitami
I was sitting on the ground, Kushiro standing beside me. I was tired, and I looked at the field. All of the troops were going towards the main camp now so I just stared at the ground.
All of a sudden I heard galloping. And it was coming closer.
I looked behind me to see Mitsunari on his horse.
"Mitsunari? What are you doing here?" I asked, slightly surprised and happy at the same time.
"I needed to see you," he said.
"See me? Why?" I asked.
"Because. I was an idiot for leaving you that night. I was an idiot all together. And Sakon told me what you said about being serious. I just wanted to say I'm sorry," he got down, and looked at me.
I couldn't take him as seriously. When I looked at him I could still see the black and white that he wore that night.
"Sorry?" I asked, standing up.
Kushiro neighed, and it sounded unsure.
"Really. I shouldn't have treated you like that," he murmured.
"…Alright, Take that thing off," I said, smiling. I couldn't be depressed now.
"Wh-what?" he asked.
I grinned.
"Take your hat off," I said.
He took it off, showing his brown hair.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"It's ok. Don't be," I replied.
"Are you that easy?" he asked.
"Yes I am. Don't judge me. I really like you Mitsunari," I said, sheathing my sword.
He smiled and walked forward.
I waited until he was a foot away from me.
"You like me?" he asked, smiling again. I could see the 'other' Mitsunari come back.
"More than like, but I'm not ready to say love yet," I replied.
"I'm ready to," he said.
He stepped forward.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes. Can you forgive me for what I did?" he asked.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Yes I can." I murmured.
He smiled.
"Thank you. I've done enough already with leaving the camp," he said.
"Oh you'll be fine, I'm here to protect you if you chicken out," I joked.
He raised his eyebrow.
"Don't look at me like that," I said, getting on Kushiro.
"Why not?" he asked, going on his own horse.
"It makes me self-conscious. Come on, let's go," I said.

He went ahead of me, putting his hat back on.
I looked at him as he rode towards the enemies' main camp.

We won.
And guess who did all the work?
I did.
He stared at me with adoring eyes.
"Sometime I wonder why you're so shy sometimes," he said as his arm wrapped around me.
"I'm shy? When did you notice that?" I asked. He had been doing a lot more observing than I thought he was.
"I notice a lot of things. Especially how beautiful you are," he smiled at me.
I blushed a deep red.
"I love that rush of colour," he laughed.

He decided to be public with our 'relationship'. The soldiers and generals looked at us in astonishment.
"Men, can I have your attention please?" he asked.
He stepped onto a platform, and gave me a kiss.
I wanted him to stay there, but he let himself go.
"I know that I've been a real pain, but I want to change that. I want to earn your respect. I will try to be the best commander that I can be for you! I will use all my energy to help you, and I ask that you will do the same for me! Men, it's time to celebrate!" he smiled in triumph.
Did I really change him that much?
All the men cheered, and the Sake appeared.
"Let's go home boys!" he said.
He sounded…happy. Really happy.
And that happiness rolled off onto me too.
We made our way back to Odawara.

"Noooo!!! I don't do that!" I laughed.
I was drunk. I knew it.
"Of course you do Kitami!" they all replied.
"Noooo! Don't make me do that!" I hiccupped.
And that was the last thing I remembered.
