Trigger warning: Sachime is pinned by a strange man in the corridor
Sachime sighed softly, her arms aching after beating down the rugs that were currently hanging on the washing lines in the early spring air. She had taken the chance of some good weather to try and get a head start on the spring cleaning of Echigo Castle. She was the head maid after all, though she was glad that she was allowed to employ some of the women in the town to deal with the laundry. She also wasn't letting the fact that she didn't have to face the laundry any more slow her pace down. She still felt a little bit of a need to prove herself after originally disguising herself as her little brother, who was sent to Echigo to be Lord Kenshin's poison taster in response to Sachime spurring the local magistrator for his hand in marriage. She knew that Lord Kenshin said he had forgiven her for the deception, especially once Yoshici had explained why she had done so. It didn't stop her being keen to be the best Head maid that she could, as she turned towards the main hall after coming in from the private courtyard out the back. Until she was physically picked up by a retainer, and then kabedoned to pin her to a spot in the hall.
“Is there something you need me to do?” She asked, tilting her head. She didn't know the man, she had only seen him at meetings called by Lord Kenshin. She certainly didn't know his name, as he tilted her chin up, making it feel like he was studying her appearance. The silence was making her more and more nervous, but she didn't have the moves to slip out under him. She wanted to make her escape, especially as the daily noises from around the castle filtered through to them. It dawned on her that no one would need to come down this corridor, they would all be using other ones to come into the main hall from training as her stomach began to lurch in fear.
“Hey,” her heart soared to hear Kageie, her lighting up instantly to see her other half. The strange man leapt back as though he had been burned by the woman, and ran off before Sachime could do or say anything. Her chest sank in disappointment that she couldn't protect herself, until she felt a pair of arms slip around her torso and bringing her into his familiar warmth. “Don't look so glum,” he chuckled, kissing her softly to distract her.
“Mm, I just feel like I'm reliant on you and the other retainers to protect myself,” she pouted softly, relaxing into his hold regardless.
“You'd struggle against most of the men here, even Yoshici wouldn't have a problem,” Kageie continued to tease her while walking her towards the main hall for dinner time. Kenshin had insisted that Sachime always join them at meal times, and she certainly had missed lunch as her stomach growled loudly in complaint.
It was fun, as per the usual. She was sat next to Kenshin, at his insistence, and it meant that she was normally watched by most of the room. Her laughter was light and airy, and a welcomed relief from talk of war, instead focusing on ensuring they all had a home to come back to. Sometimes it made a man feel the lack of a woman's touch when they saw her around the castle. She didn't realise that Kageie wasn't in his usual seat with Yoshici and Kagetsugu when the stranger who had pinned her in the corridor had his face slammed hard into the tatami matting. The room fell silent in an instant, everyone hyper focused on what the Lord of the Castle was going to do or say.
“Kageie?” Lord Kenshin asked, his gaze merely curious rather than upset. It was almost as though he knew what his retainer had been planning.
“He was sizing up Sachime just before dinner, and he was going to hurt her,” the man replied dutifully, though his tone was nearly as brutal as his blade.
“I see,” the Lord of the Castle nodded, before turning to the woman in question with a warm smile. “Sachime, would you mind please leaving us? Take your dinner with you to your room, so there's no rush to finish. Yoshici, could you accompany her please? Kageie will come and find you both afterwards.”
She nodded, before gathering herself together to leave as the mentioned man mirrored her actions. When she began to cross the room to leave, the stranger who was pinned to the matting by her lover decided to break the silence.
“She'll just spread her legs for any damn man in the town I bet.”
Sachime had no idea what happened. She saw red as she ploughed forward across the room, and when she came back to her senses she was in Kageie's arms and her tray was bent in half. The stranger had food slapped across his head, so she could only surmise that she had slammed the tray food first into him. The kind look that had been in Lord Kenshin's eyes was gone as Kageie kept the woman tight in his arms while Yoshici was taking over to pin the perpetrator.
“What happened, little one?” Lord Kenshin spoke gently, his focus on the shaking woman.
“He cornered me,” she stuttered, rage and fury dancing on her features. “He physically picked me up, and stopped me from going anywhere. He knew I couldn't overpower him!” Tears were starting to flow, she was so angry. She felt weak and powerless, a vulnerable woman in a castle full of men. A target on her back as Kageie kept a tight hold on her.
She felt her lover begin to move after a nod from their Lord. She had to fight him to try and get him to put her down, not that she ever had a chance of winning against him. He kept her close, taking the opportunity to walk out of the Castle and carried her down into the town where their home was. She struggled the entire way, kicking her feet and smacking Kageie on the chest many times to the point that some of the women of the town who knew them gave some worried looks. She was a sobbing mess, sniffing and wailing as Kageie dropped her onto their shared futon.
He cradled her to his chest, his fingers stroking through her lilac locks as she finally started to calm down. The silence was heavy as he didn't let go of her. He knew it was best sometimes to just let Sachime cry it out before talking to her.
“I never felt so weak as I did then,” she sniffed, her hands scrunched in his clothes as she nuzzled into his chest. “Being physically picked up by someone I didn't know, and then he was stopping me from getting to safety… He knew what he was doing.”
Kageie felt his chest tighten at the thought of someone hurting Sachime, or taking her away from him. She sighed, trying to cuddle more into him before she caught on his obi.
“Oh! I'm sorry,” she blushed, as his kimono began to loosen after her efforts to undo it.
He smirked, and caught hold of her hands swiftly to stop her from being able to correctly dress him again. “Why, if you wanted me naked, then you should have just said so,” he teased, before slowly kissing her.
She was lost to their feelings, letting him free them both of their kimonos, his hands stroking over her back as though rediscovering how she felt. His kisses were making it hard for her to think as he picked her up by the hips, and had her straddle his lap. She was gasping for air as his cock teasingly brushed against her slit, his mouth beginning to work its way down her throat, taking the time to mark his territory to other males who had any ideas. A whine escaped from her, pulling sharply on his hair as his tongue teased at her nipple, making sure to lavish it in attention as his shaft and hips rutted up against her. She tugged harder on his silvery locks, making her impatience known to him before he chuckled darkly and lifted his head back up to kiss her again. Her moans were swallowed by him, before he was laying her flat on the futon, her ass resting just in front of him and his chestnut eyes burning into hers. It felt like she couldn't close hers, as he slid two fingers deep into her.
She moaned, clinging to the bed sheets as he was smirking over her. She writhed, bucking and thrusting her hips against his fingers, trying to get him to move faster.
“Kageie,” she begged, her desperation in her gaze. “Please, it's not enough.”
He chuckled softly, watching her with lust. “You say you feel weak, but you have no idea. You are so alluring right now, and you always have so many men watching you when you're at meals,” he purred, starting to rotate his hand as he set a steady thrusting pace. “You have such power over men,” his teeth grazed her neck as he murmured the words. Her cries of pleasure only encouraged his debauchery as he smirked against her skin.
“Please, Kageie!” She mewled, her hips bucking up recklessly to try and chase his touch that she wanted.
“Seeing you with him,” Kageie groaned, refusing to speed up his hand, as his gaze continued to undress her further still. “It made me realise how much I want our family to grow.”
“Kaegie,” Sachime sighed happily, her face lighting up. It was a sharp contrast from how they had entered their home for sure.
One of his hands were splayed over her stomach, as he continued to send her higher with his teasing strokes inside of her. His thumb finally stopped ghosting her clit, and ground down on the nub as her climax finally claimed her. His gaze only grew hungrier as he watched the way she bucked and writhed under him and against his fingers as he let her ride out her orgasm. He loved the faint sheen of sweat on her, and that look she always gave him, begging him to take her, only this time he had no intention of finishing anywhere but inside of her. He grabbed Sachime by the hips, and pulled her up his thighs. His cock was throbbing at the possibility of impregnating his lover as his head brushed against her folds. A needy mewl from Sachime was the icing on the cake before he plunged into her waiting pussy.
He had all the intentions of taking it slow and steady, but it had taken so much of his self control to hold off on his climax at that point. Their hips were flush together before she began to impatiently wriggle her hips for some stimulation. It was cute how she knitted her brows together when she wasn't getting her way, as he grinned at her and then wrapped her legs around his hips. He tipped his torso forward so that his body was framing hers, kissing her softly as they began to rock back and forth.
It didn't need to be fast, they just needed each other in that moment. His fingers were switching between her nipples and clit until Sachime started to buck a little faster against him.
“Kageie,” she whined, before her orgasm slammed into her. She spasmed furiously around his shaft, begging him to cum and fill her needy pussy in that instant. He couldn't hold off any longer, his hands gripping her thighs and hips to hold her in place as he felt his cum flood into her.
He was panting heavily, his forehead against her shoulder as their hips were glued together along with a variety of bodily fluids. She was purring softly, her fingers carding through his sweaty hair while their legs were still tangled together.
“You didn't pull out,” she murmured, sounding lost in thought.
“Mhm,” he agreed, before slowly untangling their limbs and then flopping onto his back. He pulled her over to him, tucking her into his side with ease. “Go to sleep, I can hear your tiredness. Besides, you know I won't stop until I succeed,” he grinned, knowing that she would know what he was doing despite the darkness of the room.
Several months later, Kageie was smirking broadly, watching as Sachime tried to haul some rugs around for cleaning. Not that she was having a lot of success as the rugs wouldn't go up to her head with her new method.
“Sachime!” Yoshici was scolding her before he was even in view, which made Kageie smirk. “Lord Kenshin told us your news!”
She was promptly relieved of her attempts to do her jobs, as Kagetsugu took the rug out of her hands followed swiftly by Yoshici picking her up and spinning her around joyously. Kageie heard the footsteps of his Lord echoing from the corridor leading out to the private courtyard, and turned his head back to find that Kenshin was being accompanied by Kanetsugu who was wearing a rare smile.
“Yoshici!” She exclaimed, clinging to his shoulders for safety, “You can't do that to me-”
“You'll hurt Kakki's baby,” Kagetsugu frowned. “As you will by overexerting yourself with chores like this. Lord Kenshin and you agreed to light duties.”
“Which I am doing-” she began.
“Little one,” Lord Kenshin smiled, making her blush as she realised that Kageie had been watching her the whole time. “Beating rugs does not constitute light duties when you are hauling the rugs around the castle yourself. I have plenty of retainers and vassals around who are to assist you.”
Her pout was cute. Kageie wanted to kiss it off her, but not while they were in front of everyone. Yoshici lowered her down with vast amounts more care than he had picked her up with. The vassals were being liberal in their congratulations to her, as Sachime seemed to glow in the middle.
“So, how long before little Kakki gets here?” Yoshici was the most excited one of them all, bouncing on his feet with the news.
“Late winter to early spring,” Sachime's laughter was calling to Kageie, as he pushed his way to her side, and then wrapped her up in his arms.
“Mm, nap time,” he announced with a grin.
“I'm sure it's meant to be just the mother resting,” she teased, nuzzling back into him.
“Well, you need to rest, so I am taking our head maid for nap time duties,” Kageie smirked, picking her up in his arms before turning them around to head back into the castle.
“Such a child,” she laughed, wrapping her arms around his chest to stay close to him.
A crack headcanon, because I CAN. By which I mean, I can’t seem to write anything lately, but I can go down weird rabbit holes still, so, why not drag an unwitting tumblr audience down one with me.
OKAY. SO. IT IS DRESS REHEARSAL NIGHT for Ai’s first ever ballet recital.
Kenshin et. all have been expressly forbidden by Kanetsugu from attending the actual recital, but have been begrudgingly allowed to come to the final rehearsal on the condition that they behave
Kanetsugu is not actually optimistic regarding odds of success but it’s better than them trying (TRYING being the operative word) to be sneaky and inadvertently destroying opening night
So anyway he is engaged in the age old struggle of First Time Ballet Parent versus the Bobby Pin Bun, doing his best to put Ai’s hair in a bun that can withstand ballet mistress inspection
Ai is stoically and heroically Enduring
(Father doesn’t mean to stab her skull with bobby pins, she knows)
Kanetsugu runs out of bobby pins
With Immense Trepidation, he sends Yoshichi out for more
He would send Kagetsugu, but Kagetsugu is doing Ai’s stage makeup
(Kanetsugu can't he just can't he would cry, mascara is a Bad Word)
Ai thinks it's super cool that Tsugutsugu knows how to do makeup
His sister taught him, and please stop fidgeting unless you want crooked eyeliner
(Kanetsugu grumbles about eyeliner)
Ai sniffs and insists even if it IS crooked she will rock it - but it had better not be, okay? Please?
(Is that a hint of nerves in her voice?)
(NO NEVER but before Kanetsugu can comfort her)
WHOOSH
OH NO
OH YES
A PERFUMED TORNADO OF FLOWER PETALS
(run, run for your lives!)
(no one does, of course, they are either too busy being Confused, or they know exactly what it is and that there is no escape)
Kagetsugu has to stop applying blush because he's sneezing from pollen allergies
Kanetsugu is considering alternate places to stab bobby pins
You were expressly forbidden from coming back stage, Kenshin
(Yoshichi, off on the Great Bobby Pin Quest, is woefully and completely lost)
Ai looks wonderful! Like a princess!
She raises her eyebrow
He amends, a princess that can strike fear into the conquered hearts of her battered foes
Ai smiles
Kageie is still flinging flower petals as he was instructed to do
Please stop flinging flower petals Kageie
He shrugs and wanders off
(Yoshichi has started leaving a trail of bobby pins in hopes he will find his way back)
Kenshin begins unloading presents
A bouquet of roses!
A bouquet of daisies!
A bouquet of roses AND daisies!
A music box!
(Where did Kageie go, anyway?)
A bracelet with ballet slippers!
A wheel of cheese!
A bolt of la--oh my gosh Kenshin stop she hasn't even danced yet
Kenshin wilts
Ai pats his arm and puts a flower in his hair. There, there, don't be sad
Kenshin blooms, clasps her hands, what a wise, kind young soul she is, what grace, what--
Kanetsugu whaps him with a daisy because he is CAUSING TROUBLE go sit in the audience geeze Kenshin
(Yoshichi doesn't know where he is but it smells like hairspray and tulle)
(He nervously tosses more bobby pins in his wake. Someone will find him)
Kenshin floats away
(Flower petals float in his wake)
(Speaking of, seriously where has Kageie gone)
(Kanetsugu thinks maybe he sees a flash of silver hair by the prima ballerina but surely not)
Kagetsugu shrugs and packs up his makeup, except suddenly there is a line waiting for his assistance because oh god have you tried putting on liquid eyeliner on a preteen it's impossible
Kagetsugu looks pained
There are puppy dog eyes
Kagetsugu sighs and unpacks makeup again
Relieved looks all around
(Hotaru has been dutifully following a trail of scattered bobby pins, politely picking them up as he comes across them)
Kagetsugu and Ai are having a (mercifully Kenshin free) pep talk
She is going to do wonderfully
Omg I know father
He loves her and he's so proud
Omg I know father
If she wants to throw her ballet slippers at Kenshin mid performance he fully supports her
OMG DAD
but awww it's very effective
She's proud of him too
After all her bun is ALMOST passable and only slightly crooked
Gestures for him to lean down
He gets a proud pat on the head
Good job, Papa
WEEP WITH HAPPY TEARS
but no time to linger on lovely emotion PLACES ARE BEING CALLED
Ballerinas slipping on flower petals right and left who covered the place in flower petals
Kagetsugu is like WAIT I HAVE THREE MORE BALLERINAS HERE UGH fine I’ll do it while they’re in line stop fidgeting do you know how hard it is to get a good wing when you’re fidgeting sheesh
(Seriously where did Kageie get off to? Kageie? Hello?)
Hotaru and Yoshichi have about a thousand bobby pins
What were they supposed to do with them again?
Pick locks maybe?
Where would they find locks?
They go look for locks
Kanetsugu debates sitting on the opposite side of the auditorium lest people deduce he knows the crazy man already wiping away tears in the front row
But he realizes he'll probably have to restrain Kenshin from standing ovations or leaping on stage so with a sigh he takes the seat to Kenshin’s left
Kageie slides into the seat on Kenshin’s right
Where have you been bro
He shrugs
“Fixing things”
(Well that's totally not concerning at all)
...where is Yoshichi?
(still lost)
THE LIGHTS DIM
THE CURTAIN OPENS
delicate strains of piano and violins lilt through the air!
A line of ballerinas flutter onto the stage!
(A few stray flower petals follow them)
Kenshin is crying
Kanetsugu is crying
Kageie is yawning
THE STORY UNFOLDS
A queen has been cursed by an evil magician to turn into a swan, returning to human form only during the night - GASP
A prince sees her and falls in love! - GASP
They decide to get married, but first, a ball where he must pick her out of a crowd! - GASP
But what's this, another woman who looks like the first appears and seduces the prince! - GASP
DESPAIR! Now the queen shall forever remain a swan, and--
Wait, wait what's happening
Kageie smiles
OH GOD
THE SWANS
THE SWAAAANS
THE SWANS ARE SWARMING!
They've built an army!
THEY ARE GOING TO FIGHT!
They're descending on the magician, on the ball, on the prince!
With great wallops of their wings, and powerful kicks from their swan legs, they surround the magician!
This is not how this story goes Kageie what did you do
Kageie shrugs.
He fixed it
Get on with your swanself, queenie.
You don’t need a man you’ve known for one night you’re better than that. You just need to find someone noble and good and strong to follow.
Like Kenshin
There is no Kenshin in the ballet story tho
But before they got that figured out Kageie wandered away
ANYWAY THE SWANS WIN
THE QUEEN STANDS TRIUMPHANTLY CENTER STAGE, WINGS SPREAD
Ai is dancing dutifully with the other young swans
the piano sounds a lil uncertain
like what do I do now?
BANG! CRASH!
Yoshichi and Hotaru stumble on stage
Startled by the bright lights, Hotaru stops
Yoshichi smacks into him
Bobby pins scatter everywhere
That magician gets up, trying to get the story back on track
He slips on the bobby pins
He falls, arms flailing as he pinwheels offstage and smacks into a set piece
It topples
Domino effect
Sets down everywhere
The castle crashes!
The lake teeters!
The forest trees are tumbling!
Feathers are flying!
Swans are leaping!
Princes are panicking!
OH THE HUMANITY
OH GOD, MAKE IT STOP!
Panicked, the stage manager yanks the curtain
FLOWER PETALS EXPLODE FROM THE CEILING
Kenshin pouts
Those were for AI’S dance
Omg Kenshin, please don't embarrass me in front of my swan army comrades
Sets are ruined
Story is derailed
Everyone’s eyeliner is on point
Stage is a hazard zone of petals and pins and scattered sequins
Silence
.
.
.
Too tired to sigh, Kanetsugu stands up
He gives his little girl a bouquet of pink flowers wrapped in a pretty ribbon
