Miss Tennyo, do you have any plans or intentions on continuing this story? Pretty please? C:>
I'm very curious to see where you were going to go with it; the character interactions (like between Hostage Saburo and the various Takeda clan members), and how a courting of that time period between people in their positions would go - of course (/heehee/).
(I'm starting to become intrigued about this rare-pair. Although, I am kinda based in regards to Kagetora whisperwhisper).
Seeing as Saburo still became Uesugi Kagetora, I'm guessing events went on semi-canonically. But what happens next? D:
I keep coming back and re-reading the two chapters, getting the same daydream where Kousaka and Saburo are -ahem- alone, and Saburo realizes the kind of relationship Kousaka is offering it become and Saburo is worried that if he refuses it might offend Kousaka and thus Shingen and somehow make him inclined to break off the alliance to "avenge" Kousaka (because of their relationship). Saying as much or not, Saburo's like "wellshit" and haltingly undoes his robe to lie back on a futon to wait for whatever Kousaka decides on since he wants to be as useful to his father as he can, being the "most expendable" and feeling not of much worth as a seventh son, seeing doing everything he can to preserve his father's alliance on his end to be the best option in making him proud.
(Sorry for unloading that on you, btw.)
How does the rest of your story go?? >whine< Does Hojo break the alliance and Takeda sends Saburo back unharmed, as per canon? How do they part? Do the Matsuda Brothers & Co still take revenge on Ujimasa through Saburo? I'M A' DYIN' HERE!!
