It had been...a tiring day.

He wasn't sure if Fujiko-san bursting into the meeting had made things better or worse, to be honest.

Kyousuke had been ready to give Oichi up for her own sake. To protect her. To make her happy.

But then Fujiko-san had stormed in and pointed out that they had no right, absolutely none to decide for Oichi what made her happy. And then she had asked such a loaded question ("If marrying him means never seeing Kyousuke again, would you be all right with that!?") and then, as they say, all hell had broken loose.

He grimaced.

"Um. Oichi-dono, are you sure you don't want to go back to your own room." Pause. "I promise I'm not going anywhere."

Maybe one day, she really would have forgotten him, if she had gone with Ieyasu. Maybe one day, all she would have left would be the dim memory of a smile, and the smell of pine and sunshine.

But even thinking of something like that, of forgetting him or worse, of him forgetting her, makes her impulsively tighten the grip she has on his arm. She buries her head against his shoulder as she shakes her head.

If Kyousuke were more self-centered or stubborn, he'd blame Fujiko for all this.

But he knew that, for once, more of the blame was on his shoulders than on his sister's.

Kyousuke smiled ruefully, before bringing a hand up to pat her head.

"...all right then. You can stay with me for as long as you want."

Oichi slowly lifts up her head to look at his face, as if searching for an answer. "Promise?"

He met her gaze without flinching and smiled. "...I promise." He left his hand on top of her head, "Whatever happens, I will never force you to leave my side unless it is what you wish."

No more going behind her back. No more lies or tricks. If what makes her happy is to remain with him even though there is precious little he could give her, then he will fight anyone who tries to take her away.

And maybe it's the smile, or the warmth of his hand, or the tiredness from the whole day catching up to her, but a tear rolls down Oichi's cheek. Followed by another and another, until she's bringing her hands up to cover her face because thank goodness.

Thank goodness she wasn't going to be abandoned. She could stay. He had promised.

At the sight of the first tear, Kyousuke panicked, afraid that he'd done something wrong yet again.

It passed soon enough, then he remembered Fujiko-san's lecture from before and felt guilty.

He froze for a moment, not entirely sure what he was supposed to do. After a moment his hand moved from the top of her head to behind her neck. He gently pulled her towards him.

"I'm sorry, Oichi-dono. You can stay for as long as you want. I won't let anyone take you away."

She doesn't resist, settling herself against him and holding onto the fabric of his kimono like her life depended on it. The crying is mostly tears more than anything else....there isn't any sobbing. Just tears.

He will hold onto her for as long as she wants, his arm curling protectively around her waist.

I really messed up this time...

Oichi cries until she's exhausted herself and all that's left in her is sniffles and a feeling of emptiness. She can feel her eyes drift closed as she buries her face against his neck.

'It is so...warm...'

He saw a few servants in the distance, but they all wisely steered clear of the hallway. No doubt, the debacle earlier was already all over the castle.

It didn't matter to him, though.

After a moment, there's a tentative, "Oichi-dono?" from him.

She looks up, acknowledging that she heard him. There are still tear tracks on her face.

He reached a hand up to brush the tears from her face.

"...I'm sorry."

Oichi leans into his touch, closing her eyes. An apology didn't matter. All that mattered was being here, being with him.

Somewhere deep down he had understood.

If he didn't let her go now, if he didn't muster every bit of determination he had and did what was best for her and send her away, he would never be able to bring himself to do it.

So he had tried hard to not be selfsih, to do the right thing and now it was too late. Even if he hadn't made that promise, Hyoubu was sure...he could never leave her now or let her leave.

His thumb brushed her cheek idly then he leaned over to kiss her.

She doesn't open her eyes at the gentle feeling of lips against her own, some part deep within her afraid of what she would see if she did. The other, more insistent part, liked the feeling of warmth, of his breath mingling with hers, of the darkness that did not reproach her for liking and wanting to be with him.

He keeps the kiss chaste and it wasn't long before he pulls back.

"Oichi-dono..." The hand on her cheek moves back, tucking some of her hair behind an ear. "I swear I will never hurt you, nor will I allow anyone else to hurt you. From now until the day I breathe my last, I will protect you so that you will never again shed a tear out of saddness."

When she opens her eyes again, it's to watch him as he talks with an expression of absolute trust on her face. He had promised. He had promised.

And with that, she leans into him again, burying her head against his chest and holding onto his clothes tightly.

He holds her close, knowing that, even if she doesn't remember this promise in the end, he will keep it anyway. Because he knows he made this promise so he had to keep it, no matter what.

"Is there anywhere you want to go right now, Oichi-dono? Whereever it is, I'll take you there."

She would remember. Or at the very least, she would remember a promise with a gentle person that loved her.

"Can Ichi stay here with Kyousuke?"

He laughed softly.

"Of course."
