It is definitely impossible to predict when this damn stupid rivalry will end. It shouldn’t be such a big deal, but there are so many people giving more than a third of their savings just to have him try to kill you. However, Yoshitsune has never succeeded — it’s the only time he fails.
And yet.
Chases, failed plans, manipulation, and seduction. Nothing worked; and it’s definitely worth noting that you both have tried to kill each other. But come on, even if you had the chance, would you really do it? Purposefully getting rid of this sense of tension takes a lot of willpower.
This moment is a clear example, actually. Yoshitsune was watching you from afar, his body hidden behind a tree, hand on the hilt of his katana, ready to draw it at any moment. You’re such a cute ninja, aren’t you?
Yoshitsune sees the way you look at the broken compass, hoping it will show you the correct path to Kyoto. To be honest, it didn’t take long for him to move, trying to hit the back of your neck with the hilt of his katana. It didn’t work.
Ninjas shouldn’t be underestimated — in fact, he wouldn’t have a surprised expression on his face if you revealed that you were aware of his presence the whole time, watching and anticipating his attacks.
Yoshitsune laughed, raising an eyebrow while pointing the sheath at you, who, at this point, was up in a tree, sitting on your knees. A stereotypical ninja pose. “Lost, little bunny? That’s a shame. Come down here. I’ll help you find your way. Don’t be cruel.”
