35 Its a date (1/2)

Harumi could never have though that the doctors in this time and age were concerned about her mental health, but they did. She got some sleeping medicine and she talked a lot about what happend and the more time passed, the more she could deal with it and give the incident a place. Instead of consuming her she grew stronger and was able to give it a place. Not only Harumi was happy with the positive change, everybody around her was. Her maids finally had their sleep back and Nobunaga as well as Hidemasa could come over again without Harumi being scared to death.

”I have a surprise!” Nobunaga said while he came waltzing in the door in the early morning. Harumi gave him a grumpy look, due to just being up. She still wore her sleeping robes and didn't have any breakfast. Nobunaga walked past her to her bedroom. Harumi looked at her maids questionably but they had no clue either. Intrigued she stood and also walked to her bedroom, only to find Nobunaga rummaging trough her clothes.

”What are you doing?” She asked yawning.

”I'm looking for something for you to wear, something simple.” He said. He looked at all her kimono's one by one before putting them back in her closet.

”Don't you have anything simpeler?” He asked when he checked all her kimono's.

”No, I don't have much choice in what I wear.” Harumi said tired. She would prefer some simpeler clothes but this was all the castle tailor was willing to make for her. Nobunaga gave her maids a once over and decided that Lin-chan the most similar build as his wife had.

”Go get one of your kimono's for Nohime to wear, as simple as possible.” Nobunaga ordered while pointing at the maid in the middle.

”I could never, the shame of Nohime-sama wearing one of my kimono's.” Lin-chan said while dropping to the floor and making a deep bow for Nobunaga.

”It can for today, get up and go get it.” Nobunaga ordered.

”Don't talk to them like that!” Harumi budded in. This may be his castle, but these girls were her maids. They helped her with literally everything and the least he could do was treat them with some respect.

”Lin-chan, would you please get one of your kimono's?” Harumi asked while she helped the girl back up. Lin-chan bowed again and then quickly left the room. Harumi gave her two other maids a look as if to say that she wanted to be alone with Nobunaga. Rike-chan and Masa-kun left quickly after Lin-chan. Now Harumi was alone in her bedroom with Nobunaga. Slowly she turned around to face him.

”I don't want you to bark orders at my maids.” She said while staring him down.

”I'm the lord of this castle, I can do what I want.” Nobunaga said as if he were a small child.

”That may be so, but they are still people who deserve it to be treated as such. They help me every day, and god knows it I need it.” Harumi continued to scold him.

”And besides, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” Harumi crossed her arms over het chest and gave Nobunaga a stern look. This was probably a small thing for him but it was important to her.
