Disclaimer: I do not own Samurai Warriors, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
Forgive me if this fiction appears a little random, but if you give me insomnia and deny me of sleep for coming on forty-eight hours then you have to expect such things.
This is my songfic dedication to Mitsuhide and Ranmaru's love, seen from the jealous point of view of Nobunaga.
The song I have chosen is "Better" by Silent Dawn. It's been altered to fit the yaoi yumminess of the story. You won't have heard of the band as they're not yet professional (but they should be!), but if you want to hear this song for yourself I suggest you go to their website: www.silentdawn.tk
Anyway, I don't own the song or the characters in the story. I haven't the talent for either!
Unless It's Better For You:
The shock threatened to physically wind me when I saw you this morning, leant against the wall in his embrace. Why him, Ranmaru? Of all the people you could have given your heart, why Mitsuhide? I'd been angry at first, almost leaping forward and ripping you away from him, not caring if your hands pulled half his hair out. But I know that wouldn't change things, except that you would hate me even more than I know you secretly do already. But I step away into the shadows, so you don't know that I saw you in his arms.
I feel like
The sun might
Not ever rise after today
I'd been kidding myself a little, I suppose. Pretending against all sense and logic that you'd not spent the night with him. That you still cared enough to stop you from giving yourself to him as fully as you did for me once. My jealousy is driving me insane! Ironic isn't it? Not too long ago you were feeling the same way because of me. I loved you but refused to choose you over my wife, despite your pleas to treat you like a person, and lost you. I should have known that you would soon find another; anyone would want to call such a jewel as you their own.
No surprise
My cold eyes
Sift through his delicate delays
I sat at my throne, and called you to my side. What can I say? I missed your perfect presence near me and the image of you and him kept appearing at the front of my mind. I can't bear things like that Ranmaru, you know that from all the times you had to reassure me that you loved no other…
It felt like an eternity had passed before you finally appeared. You were only around the corner for heaven's sake! Did you have one final kiss with him? Did you not hear me and carry on with Mitsuhide as though you had all the time in the world? I wanted to shout at you, but you seemed even more beautiful than ever and I could barely bring myself to scowl. You were glowing with love and contentment, and the light appeared to dance within your deep blue eyes. Your lips naturally look as though you're smiling even when you're close to tears, but that morning and ever since you've looked ready to break into a grin. How could I shout at you when you were like that?
As time lies tonight
As I die tonight
If ever I come to list my past regrets, at the top of the list will be losing your love. At first you were to be just a pretty conquest, like Mitsuhide and indeed at least one of your brothers had been. But you were different. Your soft lips, your sweet mouth and your incredible body had me addicted as soon as I discovered them. That goes without mentioning your other natural talents that often kept me from going to sleep when you shared my bed.
I was falling for you, but I was already bound to Noh before I'd even met you. However, you had no other lover, and so what you offered me was everything you had. I greedily took it, giving you nowhere near as much in return. You deserved so much more, I always knew it and eventually you realized it too. You began to crave more than the occasional titbits of affection I offered you, and started demanding more. But I couldn't give you what you needed, and so I lost you. You fell from my arms almost straight into his, my best general, and possibly my greatest rival.
I realize that now, and I hate it.
I hate this
I hate this
And is it better for you?
I hope you're happy, Ranmaru! You aren't cheering me up, and it seems the heavens prefer to watch me suffer. As one of my generals your lover has to spend a lot of time with me and therefore with you. There's some kind of sparkle between you now. Brief moments where you look at each other for only a second, or briefly speak to one another. These moments are fleeting to everyone else, but for me the moment passes me after what seems like an agonizing wait. I find myself wondering, did you ever look at me like that? Did I ever make you blush ever so gently when I spoke to you in that soft tone, or touched you in that way? Did your eyes always follow me around so longingly?
Or is this all for him?
Don't take him
Don't take him
Unless he's better for you.
You've always been an innocent flirt with my officers, haven't you Ranmaru? Trouble is, you don't know you're doing it. People don't realize that your breathy sexy voice is natural, and that your beautiful womanly eyelashes naturally flutter shut. They honestly believe that you're beautiful just for them! But they don't know do they? When you're flirting with someone, you become a human jewel; the most magnificent creature to grace the land. Jewel…that was my nickname for you, wasn't it Ranmaru? You loved being called it, but does Mitsuhide give you a pet name that suits you so completely?
I feel him
The river
Sweeping currents through my day
Even when I've sent you on some errand, your memory still haunts me. Everywhere, from the scent of your hair beside me to this very throne. Do you still remember the time we made love here when you look at the throne, my jewel? Do you remember how nervous you were about getting caught until I made sure you couldn't think about anything other than me?
Memories like these dictate my life now. Only by leaving me could you have gained such an impressive hold on me, my jewel.
New pleaser
To tease him
Softly carries him away
On thinking I guess Mitsuhide is the obvious match for you. You've known him all your life as a samurai; I'm surprised that nothing had happened before. He's handsome…extremely so, in fact. He's intelligent too and charming to go with it. Plus he's a gentleman, most skilled in the arts of chivalry and he's a very skilled samurai. No wonder he makes me cringe so often! He must be a change from my rough and unfriendly affections. Someone to keep my jewel perfect and glittering on a night. He'd better make you happy…
As time lies tonight
As I die tonight
After an agonizing long day, I look forward to my comfortable bed. But on the way to my bedroom, I hear your voice, making noises I haven't heard for a long time. I know that I am being foolish to look, but I can't help myself as I turn to look through your slightly opened door.
He's making love to you, much to your vocal delight. You look so beautiful as the moon reflects off your smooth ivory skin; your eyes closed shut in ecstasy. He's taking you fast, just how you like, no, love it. I suspect you're enjoying it more than you did with me because he can give you more than I could…
Shaking my head, I leave you to your Mitsuhide, not wanting to make you hate me even more by interrupting you.
I hate this
I hate this
And is it better for you?
Why Mitsuhide? The question echoes in my mind like nothing I have ever known. I'd always believed that Ranmaru was so in love with me that he'd come back eventually. But Mitsuhide stepped between us and now Ranmaru's one treasure that I'll never be able to reclaim. My jewel is happy, at least. I don't want Ranmaru with him though. I'm the better man for him. I am!
Don't take him
Don't take him
Unless he's better for you.
There's something about Mitsuhide that I don't trust. His loyalty is becoming increasingly questionable, what with him making noises questioning my methods and constantly trying to argue with me. I think he has gained a lot of exaggerated confidence along with my jewel. Happily, Ranmaru still seems to be fiercely loyal to me, even disagreeing with his lover on several occasions in my defence. But I think Mitsuhide is planning something, probably defecting, and obviously wants to take my jewel with him. If he does, then it would be easy for Mitsuhide to make half my troops defect with him. Like I said, half my army loves Ranmaru and they aren't alone in that.
All of a sudden you're taken away
After you begged me to stay
If I lose Ranmaru, then I'll lose my current only weakness. But if Ranmaru stays with me instead, Mitsuhide will have lost his most effective weapon.
I find it strange, that I'm hoping Mitsuhide doesn't take my jewel away from me, when not too recently my jewel was begging me to stay with him.
I hate this
I hate this
And is it better for you?
Don't take him
Don't take him
Unless he's better for you.
That's it! If the story isn't to your liking, you know not to write without having a decent sleep! Pff!
Love to Vchan! ~* Mwah *~
