“You look happy, your imperial highness” Nino remarked with a raised eyebrow his head tilted to one side as he looked at the almost flushed excited expression on his face. The royal guard had been doubtful when Nino had first suggested it but as he had expected Miura leapt at the chance dismissing their concerns with an airy wave of the hand. Ohno hadn’t been convinced that it would work and he had given him a low grunt of approval in his throat when he had seen they had walked into the dojo.

Ohno was pacing backwards and forwards in his grey and white outfit now. His eyes were focused and his face set in a fixed stare, showing no signs of the earlier softness from the stable, and Nino had to admit that Miura was right when he said that he looked a little surly looking. He blinked and had to force himself to refocus when he realised that the prince was speaking to him.

“Yes, I have been trained for my whole life in the way of the blade, but Lord Ohno…this is still exciting” Miura nodded enthusiastically looking around the dojo. Nino followed suit not having time to look at it properly last time. It looked like any other dojo, not that he had been in many. The wood was black and shiny as if it was washed and polished religiously and the walls were painted in a white. Expensive looking scrolls, with various sayings, were dotted around the room and in the far corner was a suit of dark blue armour that was speckled with some stains that Nino didn’t even want to think about and he just hoped that he would never have to see his lord dressed in it. He looked around until he rounded on the slender form of Matsumoto by his side and he smiled when he saw that he was almost rocking on the balls of his feet excitement shining in his eyes.

“Matsumoto-kun…You are looking very excited…” Nino told him reaching out and touching his shoulder. Matsumoto gave a nod his pencil moving over his paper quickly

>Yes, our lord has never allowed me to train with him before…But I have practiced when no-one is around…I am looking forward to today…<

“I do not believe that we have been introduced I am Miura Haruma….And you are?” Miura said with the easy going cheerfulness that had made him a firm favourite in the Garden and almost everybody else he had met. Selfishly Nino hoped that Matsumoto wouldn’t respond to it. After all the work that he had had to do to get him to even acknowledge him. There was a small sense of satisfaction when Matsumoto glared at him and his pencil just hesitantly moved over the paper taking the time to write one word

>Matsumoto<before turning away and leaving Miura to stare at Nino with one eyebrow lifted questioningly.
“Matsumoto is the son of our lord’s most trusted servant, your imperial highness…And my close friend since I have come here…” Nino lied with a smile knowing that without the misunderstanding he and Matsumoto could have been friends sooner. Miura still looked confused but thankfully Nino was spared from answering anymore probing questions by Ohno coughing and then announcing in a soft growl what they were going to be doing. Nino smiled reassuringly at his lord knowing that he was feeling uncomfortable; Ohno fixed him with a stare the corners of his mouth just tilting slightly.
“He does smile then…” Miura hissed in his ear and Nino shot him a glare gripping his practice sword as he walked a few steps away to practice his stances and the only move that he knew. Training with more people was less distracting then when it was them alone. Ohno moved around them all correcting their positions and reminding Matsumoto to breathe out with each thrust. Matsumoto had surprised both of them by actually being able to perform all of the basic moves with ease though Ohno did have to correct his stance just a little.

“That is very good” Ohno said to the boy now and Matsumoto beamed happily his whole face lighting up with the praise. Scowling, just slightly, Nino tried to keep his eyes away from the pair glad that Ohno wasn’t as hands on with his other ‘students’ as he had been with him yesterday. He couldn’t understand why but he didn’t like the way that his lord’s hands had lingered on Matsumoto’s, he knew that there was nothing between his lord and the boy but it didn’t stop the painful stabs in his heart. The former consort was almost overwhelmed by the intense unaccustomed emotions that were running through his body.

“Nino…Is everything okay?” Miura asked beside him, and Nino nodded practicing the move again glaring at the sword in his hands wondering why it was so hard for him. He glanced over at Matsumoto and Ohno jolting in surprise when he realised that his lord was staring directly at him. “You should try to relax” the prince told him, his hand and arm falling easily around his shoulders giving him the slightest of squeezes before coming up behind him in the same way his lord had and guiding his arms. “Breathe in then…thrust…”

“Kazunari…You are over reaching…” Ohno growled coming to his side and pulling him away from Miura who looked at him in surprise. Matsumoto had turned away to practice his own moves “You do that again with your injured hand you could severely hurt yourself…”

“Forgive me, my lord…” Nino muttered breathlessly catching sight of a bemused but concerned look on Miura’s face.
“Forgive me my lord Ohno, it was my fault…” The prince said gracefully “I had forgotten that Nino was injured…I will not allow it to happen again…”

“Be sure that you do not…” Ohno muttered his fingers just barely grazing over Nino’s jaw line and causing a pleasant tremble over his body.

“My lord…” He gasped and Ohno seemed to realise what he was doing his hand moved away brushing through his hair.
“Three more times…Practice the move three more times and then you will be ready to move on to the next…Kaeshi tsuki, the spiral thrust” He told him his cheeks tinged with a small trace of colour as he moved away going to Miura “Stance” He growled and the prince fell into the a stance quickly and accepted in good grace when Ohno set about correcting the way he was holding his arms. Nino half smiled to himself and it was more determination he carried out the three practice thrusts before his lord came back to him.  Like yesterday he held him flush against his body, mouth against his ear, as he manipulated him into doing the things that he said.  “This is actually a counter to a thrust from your opponent. You start in the same left posture as you did for the first Jo suburi. Grasp the top of the Jo with your right hand…No with your thumb downwards yes that is right…Well done” Ohno half breathed in his ear and Nino gave a shiver.

The white hot heat coiled in his stomach to almost burn at him. He wondered if Ohno what he was doing to him and wondering if that was why he was doing it. Nino allowed his eyes to flicker to Miura whose cheeks were flushed and his eyes weren’t focused on what he was doing with his sword. Ninomiya…Your attention on me…” Ohno growled roughly and Nino blinked pulling his attention that to what was doing “You have to bring the Jo up in a steady circular motion as you move to your left… with your left foot, bringing your right foot around to remain in hidari hanmi. As you move, thrust the Jo forwards to your opponents centre, your left hand on top of the Jo. Expel your breath explosively as you thrust before coming back to your starting position.”

“My lord Ohno, I understand if you will say it is not my place… might make a suggestion?” Miura said softly and Ohno inclined his head slowly even though Nino could feel that his lord had tensed.

“Of course your highness” His lord spat out but Miura took it in good grace as always a happy go lucky smile on his face.
“Nino has his own grace and his years of training in the Garden make him unsuited for the katana…Might I suggest that he learns with a Naginata and more along the lines of an Onna bugeisha?”

“No” Ohno said simply his fingers grazing over his cheek as Nino’s eyes narrowed at his friend unable to believe that he had suggested that.

“May I ask why not?” The prince asked stiffing just slightly and Ohno gave a growl

“That should be obvious…Kazunari is a man…” his lord spat out and Nino saw Matsumoto’s face paling as he came over to them. Miura’s own face had gone an ashen colour and his smile slipped away as he replied with

“Just barely…”

TBC

A/N: Okay an Onna bugeisha was a type of female samurai (here’s a link if you’d like to know more, Onna bugeisha)It’s not too bad these ladies were pretty cool but with Nino’s whole worry about his masculinity it wasn’t a very nice thing for the prince to say ne >.<

Was it intentional?? The prince saying those words? Since the prince has been friend with nino for a long time maybe the prince really wants to know how far the lord will defend nino's honor :)

Miura...is he saying awful things because he's upset seeing Ohno and Nino together?? In any case, I'm very mad at him, and I'm very happy that Ohno defends Nino's masculinity *nods* I also love that Nino wants Jun to like him the best, they're so cute together now, just like real brothers (are they???)
Thanks for another awesome update :D
