54 Be safe (2/2)

”Are you okay?” Nobunaga asked worried. Harumi opened her eyes and saw Nobunaga's concerned face hovering over her. His long hair enclosing them in their own little world. The only thing that she wanted to do at that moment was to kiss the crap out of him. How could he be this beautiful she asked herself. She whit stood the urge to grab his face and pull him even closer to her. Instead she just nodded. Now the first shock was over Nobunaga remembered in what kind of position they were in. Now was it his turn for his face to turn in a deep maroon red colour.

”Sorry.” He stammered. He wanted to stand up but Harumi carefully got hold of his shoulder, signaling him to stay.

”Look, I don't want to begin by square one, I just want things to stay the same.” She said while looking at him.

”Okay, I understand.” Nobunaga said while a small smile came to his face.

”You are way to beautiful for your own good.” Harumi sighted while she put a strand of his hair behind his ear so she had a better view of the perfect facial features of her husband. After a while they detangled from each other and sat next to one and other. Harumi looked out of the window to the garden while she could feel the body heat of Nobunaga against her arm.

She had no idea how she would ever be able to continue her life once she got back to her own time. She already had missed so much. She had as of now no leads on how to get back to the future. It could take years before she would wind her way back. She could be in her twenties when she got back, and then still had to attend high school...

”I have to go soon...” Nobunaga said what made Harumi snap out of her own mind.

”Where do you have to go to?” She asked while still looking at the garden.

”I have to go to Honno-ji.” Nobunaga sighted.

”What for?” Harumi asked anxiously.

”There will be another war coming soon. I have to go and meet with some other clans.” He explained.

”Whatever you do, stay safe.” Harumi whispered while she let her head rest on his broad shoulder.

”Always, I promise I'll come back in once piece.” Nobunaga assured her. Harumi had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, but she couldn't really place the feeling. She could have sworn that she had heard the name of that castle before, but she had no idea from were. She had probably heard some of the officials talking about it or something...
