Sanada Junko

[Yaoquizque]

Her mother wouldn't do anything to help her. Submissivly annoying woman.
The next day, Junko left home alone and headed to the Kitagaki house.

People there were quite surprised to see that young woman ordering them to announce her to Kitagaki Kiyomori at once...
And since they didn't seem to comply quickly enough, she forced her way in, ending in a training room where two men were practising ju-jutsu.

she stood near the door, assuming a bored expression while watching them finish their pass.

Finally, they deigned to notice her, and Kiyomori smiled to her in a kind way.
"Sanada-san? That's a surprise."

Junko had to admit he wasn't that disgusting. If one liked the neat and tidy men.
He nodded at the other man, and said :
"I thought you were too busy with the wedding preparations to see me."
She rolled her eyes "Right. I said that just to make you quit clinging on me like some silly parasite."

He laughed at that statement and gazed at her "Was i that annoying?"
She simply ignored the question "I need to talk to you."

Raising an eyebrow questionningly, he finally bowed at the other man.
"Please accept my apologies, teacher. We won't be long."
He then invited Junko to follow him.
"Let's have a walk in the garden."

It was indeed beautiful there, and she forgot during a few seconds why she made that visit.

They walked while exchanging banalities for a few and he finally proposed her to sit on a bench under a keyaki tree.
Junko mischievously remained standing instead, forcing him that way to not sit himself.

As Kiyomori appeared to understand her manoeuvre, a shadow of annoyance crossed his face.
He eventually looked at her with a half-smile.

"So, miss Sanada, why did you wish to see me so badly. Were you missing me already?"
She just stared at him coldly "I'm not going to marry you."
"Why is that, beloved one?" he asked with a reasonable amount of curiosity.

As she wasn't answering, he asked :
"Is it because you think i wouldn't be a good husband?"

The young lady didn't answer, appearing to be absorbed in the contemplation of the garden.

"Or is it because you dislike me?" pondered Kiyomori.
"Hm." She finally muttered "I don't don't like you, i guess."
"Hm." He muttered himself in reply. "You have such an odd way to express your feelings. Is it that hard to just say you like me?"

He extended his arm to pat her shoulder but she quickly moved away.
"Don't touch me."

As he was raising his arms in a reassuring way, she said in an annoyed tone :
"Listen, it's simple. I'm not going to marry you. Period. So you will do ask your father to cancel this thing or i will break your bones one by one"

Kiyomori laughed at this tirade.
"As wild as a tiger. I love this."
"Do you think i'm kidding?" she said angrily.

Kiyomoro thought while studying her during a few.
"Hm. Maybe you are indeed thinking what you say. But are you strong enough to break all my bones? I doubt that."
