Author's Note: So, I'm baaaaaaack! It's been months since the last time I opened my account and update this book. Thank you so much for your patience!

(Y/N)'s POV

I opened my eyes and the skies were still dark and there were no stars. The things that I saw before I slept wasn't a dream. It's a horrible reality. Many people died because of jealously, anger and hunger for power. An era which were I was born. A violent one.

But in my room where I woke up in the arms of my beloved Leonardo, I found peace. Even though it's just temporary, love had brought me peace.

I stood up, trying my best not to wake him up and looked in front of the mirror. My eyes were swollen red, my face was pale, tiredness was written all over it.
But I don't want to show this weakness to other people.

I went to my study where I decided to read a book, hoping sleep would take over again. But there was one book that caught my attention. It was a big one and maroon-colored. It was Leo's.

He brought this book with him from the very first time he step forth in the temple. I wonder what kind of books does he read.

On the book's front page, a name "Hamato Yoshi" was written. Leo had mentioned before that this book originally belongs to his father. Out of my curiosity, I turned the pages and read.

"In the year 1502, there was a clan that was first established before Hamato. The Kazenami Clan. A lot of generals had passed their authority from generation to generation. Until they proclaimed their first female general, (L/N) (Y/N), the Kazenami clan changed."

I read the next pages of the book and it ALL tells about me and all of my works!

My thoughts had stopped for a while. When Leo and I went to a lake, he once told me that he and Tello were came from the future. Although his words were not that convincing, the book says it all.
I continued reading it and the contents of the pages had made me realized something:

"...on a cold night of September 15, 1502..."

"...cabin in flames..."

"Burned alive...."

So this means. On that fire,

"Take my hand!..."

That was that night.

"What year is this?"

"It's 1502. To be exact, today is September 15, 1502."

I was supposed to be dead on that time. And the rest didn't happen on its original history. So that means, Leo did time-traveled.

My hands began to shake as I ask myself how did this war end. I am sure that it was written here. And I found the answer I was looking for.

"And her death was also the end of the great war in Japan..."

My death.

I see... I know what I should do.

Now I understand, Leonardo. I know how to end this war once and for all.

(Leo's POV)

A few days after the fire, (Y/N) became very distant. She more often talked with Takeru in the library non-stop. And every night, she write a lot of scrolls as if she's writing letters. I kept on telling her to take a rest but she always insist that she's almost done with her works.

Soldiers were ready for war. Weaponry's were in a good condition, the Kazenami grounds were under a tight security.

I strolled alone one day in the marketplace and I saw women not wanting their husbands to go to war. Children not wanting their fathers to leave them. They were uncertain if their loved ones will return alive after this war.

It tore my heart into pieces. (Y/N) was right. This era is really insane. Two days left and we will be leaving for war.

"Leo?" snapping my thoughts away, (Y/N) is here in front of me, a smile formed on her face.

"You're done with your work with Lord Takeru?" I asked.

"Yes. We made a plan. For now, why not let's have a tea together?" (Y/N) asked. I noticed that her actions were quite unusual but I am happy that she finally have tea with me again.

We sat down on the table and she did a formal tea ceremony. I smell an aromatic smell of mint and I could feel the warmth of the tea she's making.

While watching, I noticed her guards closed the doors and windows of the temple. It is unusual that they close them during the day. A few seconds later, the tea was served by my wife herself.

"There is a war approaching, so I want to have tea with you before we go." she said as she poured the tea on my cup.

"Thanks. And I am happy that we here. I thought you're ignoring me already." I replied as I took a sip.

"Sorry about that. I made you feel that way."

"No, it's okay. I understand about your work."

Things are really unusual today. I was enjoying my tea but (Y/N) on the other hand is somehow melancholic. She doesn't ever touched her cup yet.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Leo..." she called my name on a whisper. She let out one scroll from her cloak and handed it to me.

I opened the scroll and it's content make my heart froze.

She had signed a letter that she and I were officially divorced.

"W-what is this?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, Leo." (Y/N) said and she stood up.

I tried to reach her but I felt nauseous. The tea, she had put something in it. Before I had realized, I lost conciousness.

"Take care of him." those were the last words I heard from my wife before darkness consumed me.

...


"Leo? Leo? Dude! Wake up!"

I opened my eyes and I found myself with Donnie beside me. I heard a sound of wagons and horses outside.

"Thank goodness you're awake!"

"Where are we?"

"Who knows?"

How did we end up in a small cramped cabin with no doors or windows?

"Leo, you've been out more than 24 hours." Donnie said. I've out that long?

"Donnie, tell me what happened!" I urged.

My younger brother let out a sigh and he told me the whole story.
