Mirage of Blaze… In my opinion, this anime has a lot of loop holes and I've watched it many times and still don't get it. All the names and history of Japan confused me. The anime doesn't really cover much truth of the history itself, but the characters that it has mentioned are indeed important people during those periods of times. I'm not a history geek, so I'm not going to dig up the Japanese History and write a book about it. Yet, to get a better understanding of the story, I will try to briefly summarize the historical events from the anime in the first chapter. I will fill in the gaps with my own interpretation of what happened, but keep in mind that I'm making things up here, so don't take them seriously. The story will be progress from chapter two.

Warning: Yaoi content. This story may include rape, torture and lots of fluffs provided by yours truly. It may also be subject to lemon (sex), so if you don't like the idea of boys on boy's relationship, then please don't read this story.

Disclaimer: Love Naoe! Love Takaya! But, Mirage of Blaze is not mine.

Summary: The relationship between Naoe and his master, Lord Kagetora will finally seek its ending.

DEMISE RESOLUTION

Chapter 1

Four hundred years of love and hate. Four hundred years of endurance, sacrifice and pain. When will they end? The relationship of Naoe and his master, Lord Kagetora had lingered on for that long, through many incarnations and endless cycles of life and death, and yet, they couldn't find a resolution.

This all began during the uprising and feudal era of war where endless battles were fought over dominions and territories. A well known battle of Kawanakajima fought between Shingen Takeda of Kai versus Kenshin Uesugi of Echigo took place from the year of 1553 to 1564.

During this period, in 1561, ordered by the shogunate, Kenshin invaded the Hojo's domain and took over the castle of Odawara. In an effort to stand on their ground, the Hojo made an alliance with Shingen Takeda. Here entered the seventh son of Ujiyasu Hojo, Saburo Hojo. At the age of ten, the boy was sent to the Takeda clan as a hostage to prove their alliance against the Uesugi army in 1562. Many battles were fought and thousands of lives were killed. The battle of Kawanakajima finally ended in 1564.

In 1569, troubles arose between the Hojo and the Takeda clans. Some time before these unfortunate events, Shingen had already released the captive Ujiyasu's son back to the Hojo clan. The Hojo quickly made peace with the Uesugi army and once again sent the seventeen year old Saburo to Echigo to be a hostage or in a prettier term to be adopted by Kenshin Uesugi. As an adopted son, Saburo Hojo ceased from existence and a Kagetora Uesugi was born.

In 1571, Ujiyasu died and his son, Ujimasa Hojo took leadership of the clan. Ujimasa entered an alliance with the Takeda to fulfill his evil scheme against Kenshin and the shogunate Tokugawa. Betrayed by his blood brother, Kagetora was defiled and lost. Here entered Nobutsuna Naoe, the vassal of his younger brother, Kagekatsu Uesugi who was also an adopted son of Kenshin Uesugi. He found the mystified Kagetora in the field of battle and brought him home safely to his Lord Kenshin. Kagetora was fond to his rescuer and soon found his place with the Uesugi army and gave Kenshin his total obedience.

In 1578, Lord Kenshin died and named both of his adopted sons, Kagetora and Kagekatsu as the heirs to the Uesugi army. The two fought over succession and who was to get total control. Kagetora was a great leader with skilled swordsmanship while Kagekatsu was more clever and scheming. The younger brother attacked Kagetora where it hurt the most, taking advantage of his wound and weaknesses. Leaving Kagetora with no choice, he committed suicide in the flames of Samegao Castle in Otate at the age of twenty-six in 1579.

Nobutsuna Naoe while served under the command of Kagekatsu was held captive during the scheme in Otate. By the time he reached Kagetora; Kagetora had already drawn his sword and positioned it over his left shoulder by his neck. He called to his lord, but he was too late; his Lord Kagetora had slain himself on the top floor of the burning castle. Naoe bitterly held his lord's body in his arms and died with it in the fire of Samegao Castle.

This marked the beginning of the 400 years relationship between his lord and his master. Both men died utterly in regrets and sorrow. Bitterness and hatred lingered and didn't allow them to pass over. Their souls wandered the plain until the great Lord Kenshin's spirit gathered them together and granted them exorcism powers, which were provided by the God of War and Warrior, Bishamonten.

At this point in time, they became possessors. Possessors were souls of people who died with much bitterness and hatred that they couldn't pass over. They could also be people who died but refused the cleaning process and lingered on the plain of life. These souls could possess other people's body and claimed as their own. They could also be reincarnated or reborn into a new human's life and still retained the memories of their past lives.

With the power of Bishamonten, Kenshin formed an underworld army call the Netherworld Uesugi. He appointed Kagetora in command with total control. Serving under Kagetora was Nobutsuna Naoe who Kenshin ordered to protect the body of whomever Kagetora possessed at all cost. The duty of the Netherworld army was to exorcise vengeful and wandering spirits and send them to the other side. For four hundred years, this was what the Netherworld army had been doing, exorcising vengeful sprits from the reign of war and angry warlords who wouldn't pass over.

In the most recent battle with Oda Nobunaga thirty years ago (1949), Kenshin spirit was destroyed. The Netherworld Uesugi was utterly defeated leaving only five members. Lord Kagetora and Naoe's spirits were also at the verge of annihilation. Their souls were once again scattered. Each went their separate way to possess and reincarnate.

For thirty long years, Naoe had been searching for his lord. Almost losing hope, he finally found his lord when the Takeda clan tried to resurrect the spirit of Shingen Takeda.

The year now was 1979 and Naoe found his lordship. Kagetora had reincarnated, but somehow he had sealed away his memories. Kagetora had no collection of his past lives. What was his purpose for sealing his memories? Naoe did not know, neither did his current master, Takaya Ougi who came to live seventeen years ago know anything about it. The one thing that his current master knew, but refused to accept was that he and Kagetora Uesugi were one.

Now an ending to the 400 years of history will begin.

End of Chapter

Smile: Yeah, I know this chapter is boring. The next chapter will start the real story, which will take place right after the anime. I've thought of some ideas for the plot, but I haven't had time to finalize it yet. Once I have it done, I'll start writing. Plus, I want to see if anyone out there is interested. If not enough people are interested, then I might just stop it here and call it a one shot history review.
