12 Days of Sengoku Christmas

Word Count: 1554 Notes: Spoiler alert* This story takes place during Shingen’s route, while MC and Shingen are in the present.

It was a nice afternoon, enjoying a treat with Shingen. It was nice in this time period and with Shingen out of the hospital and healthy as ever, you had taken him out on the town. Currently, you were sitting in a small cafe, letting him enjoy some cake while you both had tea.

“Yukimura would yell at me about this cake,” Shingen said, taking another bite, frosting staining the corner of his lip until his quite distracting tongue moved to capture it, “It’s sweets, topped with sweets. Brilliant.” You had to work hard not to laugh as he took way too much delight in this endeavor of yours.

To keep from watching those sensuous lips work, you decided to glance around the cafe, instantly noticing that eyes were watching you. More to the point, they were watching the man with you. [He’ll attract attention anywhere he goes…] You thought, not for the first time. You looked back to the man before you. Even when his eyes did take in his surroundings, he didn’t seem to notice, or care, about the eyes on him. Your heart fluttered at that. This big, handsome man was yours and all yours. It was flattering, to say the least.

“I bet you miss Yuki, huh?” You rested your chin on your hand, remembering the friends you had made in the Sengoku era, “He’s probably missing you, too.” It was hard imagining Yukimura without his father-like friend. Not that he couldn’t manage, just, the two became inseparable in a way. It was sad that bringing Shingen here split that up. [They’ll be together again, soon. No biggie, right?]

“He’ll be alright,” Shingen said, looking at you, “He’ll be busy keeping Kenshin in check in Sasuke’s place. He won’t have time to miss me.” The image of poor Yukimura following Kenshin around like Sasuke had you giggling a little it. You almost felt bad for the hothead. If Kenshin hadn’t killed him by the time you returned, you made a promise to reward the hothead for his efforts.

It took a moment while you were lost in your thoughts, but soon you realized that there was a silence. Shingen wasn’t eating his cake, but watching the cafe customers. [Did he notice them looking at him? Does it bother him? I don’t see why it would...he’s popular even in his home.] Further inspection though led to the understanding that he was specifically watching something about the customers.

“Why…” he paused, as if reaffirming some assessment he just made, “are all the couples here exchanging gifts?” You glanced around, watching small presents being exchanged. You hadn’t told Shingen about the tradition, as you wanted to wait til you were home, so you could give him his in private. But it seemed the cat was out of the bag.

“It’s Christmas,” you started, your voice near wistful. Shingen looked at you, expecting further explanation, “While I’m sure the missionaries from the Sengoku era treat this differently…” you blushed a little, giddy at the knowledge that you would get to share this with Shingen, “At Christmas, here in Tokyo-Edo, couples exchange gifts with each other. It’s somewhat a romantic winter holiday.” Your voice had grown quiet as your described it, images of romantic overtures with Shingen filling your imagination.

“Gifts?” He mused, leaning forward a bit leaning his chin onto his hand, almost mimicking your pose, “And why am I just now hearing of how I could shower my goddess with gifts?” You laughed, then, your face fully red at that.

“I was going to tell you at home,” you explained. He continue to watch you with a face that could only be described as the face of the cat to the bowl of cream. “I wanted to give you a gift, but not in front of everyone.” He blinked, more a slow lowering of his lids and reopening his eyes, smiling. “And what about me? Do I get to venture to attempt to give a gift to such a beautiful woman?” You laughed a little, reaching for a cell phone. He couldn’t shop for gifts with you right there, after all, could he? It was time for reinforcement. Time for secrecy. Time for the skills of the ninja.

Time...for Sasuke.

“I’ll be right there,” came the reply on the phone. You told Shingen that he could venture with Sasuke and you’d see him at home. You stood, giving him a goodbye and left.

An hour or so later, Sasuke was adjusting his glasses, holding varying items, stuffed bears, chocolate boxes, fabric, sewing materials, and the like, stating, “Shingen-sama. I’m not sure I’m the best judge of what to gift a woman for this holiday.” He cleared his throat, as if emphasizing a point.

“Hmm,” Shingen seemed to be ignorant of Sasuke’s meaning, “I need something special for her. These are good, but they just don’t seem to do justice to the woman.” He pulled some more items off a shelf, stationary, a plant for “zen”, “I consider myself a connessier of women. You don’t get a special woman just any common gift.”

Sasuke nodded, sagely, his mind taking notes as Shingen shopped. They left, wandering the shopping center, peeking at different gift ideas, none that seemed to inspire the warlord of love. All around, Christmas lights twinkled, Shingen musing, “Shame that this isn’t a date with her. Ah, the way her eyes lit up taking me around the town today…” He rambled on, Sasuke listening with grave attention.

A jeweler was calling to the pair, Shingen’s attention eyeing the glittering jewels on display. “She will love this one..” the seller stated, holding up a bracelet studded in diamonds. Shingen considered, looking at rings, necklaces, other shiny things that would have most girls falling over themselves, but nothing seemed to satisfy.

Eventually, though, he did find something. “Oooh,” the shopkeep gushed, pulling the item out, “this can be customized with jewels of your choice. Something a little more…” a pause, and a wink at Shingen, “personable a gift.” Shingen nodded, citing this would be the perfect gift.

It was dark when Shingen returned. Stepping into the front door of their shared apartment and removing his shoes. “In here…” you called, Shingen following your voice to the room you shared.

You had changed your clothes, wearing a romantic, but comfortable red dress, two cups and a bottle of sake in front of you, your television had been turned on to a fireplace scene, a comfy looking fire burning on the display. Shingen sat down, taking the bottle to fill your cup before he allowed you to fill his.

You sat, just enjoying each other for a moment. Drinking and making small, quiet, comments here and there. Soon, though, it had come time. You pulled out your box, handing it quietly to him. “Normally you don’t open your gift in front of the giver…�� you started, feeling sheepish, “but I’d like to see your face when you open yours.”

Shingen smiled, handing you an oblong box. It was small, you wondered what he had found. You took it, setting it aside to open later. Shingen was unwrapping his gift, pulling out a stuffed bear. He smiled, noting the critter wore a very familiar kimono. He reached in the box again, finding another bear, also draped in a kimono. He glanced up, the knowing smirk already there as he stated, “They look familiar. I wonder who they are.”

“They’re us…” you smiled, your face heating, “I stitched them myself. The kimono was from old fabric I had left over from when…” you paused, remembering the handkerchief you had given him 500 years ago. You knew he still kept it in his pocket, and that it was as pristine as the day he received it.

“I’ll treasure them,” he said, gesturing to your box. You flushed, trembling hands taking your own gift. [I can’t believe I’m opening this in front of him..]. Under the wrapping, you found a velvety box, and in that…

A golden chain, hanging from it, a gleaming emerald, surrounded by two tanzanite gems, their blue winking up at you. You held the necklace, looking to Shingen in awe.

His face held a tinge of red as he explained, “I was told emerald was the birthstone of your month. And tanzinite,” he gestured to the blue stones, “are mine.” You looked back at the piece, tears pricking at your eyes. You heard him shift, feeling his arms wrap around you, pulling your to his chest, his heart beat against your ear, hearing air filling his lungs as he breathed, feeling his warmth and life. “As long as I can, I will guard…” he lifted the necklace, his thumb running over one tanzanite, as if indicating the stone’s meaning, “and cherish you,” finishing on the other stone.

“Oh…” was all you could say. Shingen’s fingers gently lifted your chin, bringing your lips to his for a kiss. The kiss was long and deep, filling your with warmth all the way to your toes. Warm tears flowed down your cheeks as he gently moved to stand, bringing your with him, the kiss never breaking. He gently pushed you, continuing to kiss you breathless, into the bedroom. You honestly couldn’t name a better Christmas than that.

On the third day of Christmas, my Sengoku gave to me Three jewels from Shingen A two sword wielding Masamune And a Sasuke hiding in the ceiling.

This mc, I put with a May birthday...I dunno...blue and green are pretty. Tanzinite and torquise being the birthstones of December, Shingen’s Ikesen birthday.

This is nobel, righteous warfare, for it is wonderfully useful to God to have such an evil race wiped from the face of the earth.""What giants?" Asked Sancho Panza."The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long.""Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone.""Obviously," replied Don Quijote, "you don't know much about adventures.” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote “
