-- Priestly Matters --

[silk_in_ebony]

By the heavens, what is happening? I awoke this morning by... in a strange place, and now find myself trespassing in the home of a stranger.

Might someone explain what is happening? My name is Tenkai; I am but a simple priest. I would like to gather my bearings that I might not intrude upon my host any longer.

[The first thing that comes to mind as Megumi surfaces to consciousness is that her husband, who she is curled up to, is clothed. Pouting in her state of sleep and wakefulness that she can't feel his skin upon hers, she lets out a tiny moan and cuddles even closer to him, running a hand up his chest to curl in his clothing.]

Mitsuhide, anata, why are you wearing clothes?

[Her voice is a sleepy, warm murmur.]

Want to feel you, love . . .

[And her hand moves downwards to find the ties of the yukata that she thinks he is wearing . . .]

['Tenkai' gives a big gasp of shock, and in out of the bed and standing on the floor in seconds. Facing away, face mortified, embarassed and worried all at once, he clasps his hands together nervously.]

F-F-Forgive me, my lady, I do not know what has happened here, but I am neither 'Mitsuhide' nor your husband. My name is T-T-Tenkai, a simple priest.

[A moment of worried breathing.]

I must apologise profusely for what h-has happened.

[The moment Mitsuhide leaps out of bed and starts stammering an apology, Megumi fully opens her eyes, surprised into full wakefulness.]

[Shock and realization dawning on her features, she realizes that today must be a curse day. The legends of Mitsuhide had spoken about him living a new life as the priest, Tenkai . . .]

Tenkai-sama? And not my husband, Akechi Mitsuhide, with whom I am enjoying marital bliss and the pleasures of the marital bed?

[She gives a soft gasp, unable to help herself from teasing him.]

[Mitsuhide's eyes open wide. What is going on? Is some spirit playing some kind of trick on him, or has one of his old enemies found him out and sought to tease him?]

No, my Lady, of course not. I... forgive me, I shall give you time to don your clothing.

[Walking out of the room, he gives a little gasp and breathes deep. What is he to do now?]

[bright_shield]

Tenkai? It must just be a coincidence . . . . are you feeling all right, Mitsuhide?

[silk_in_ebony]

How... how do they know my real name? I must not confirm their suspicions...

Forgive me, but... that is not my name, sir.

[ooc: Strikes = gone]

[bright_shield]

. . . . . o-okay. And that hasn't been your name since... midnight? Are you with a pretty lady with long dark hair?

[silk_in_ebony]

It's never been my name... and yes, I am. She is very... ah, very much a tease...

You know, I actually woke in a strange place too! It was some abandoned room. I have no idea how I got there either! Last I knew I was going to visit my daughter and her husband in Kyoto.

This seems to be happening to a lot of people today.
