"Yada" she shook her head,

If I  tell them im sure to get scolded, I’ve had this on my mind now, and seeing since you don’t care, its easyer to talk to you about it then I can with the others, besides I knew your secret about how you where really sick before you ended up here in this room , but I said nothing about it souji-san.. so you mite as well know mine.. though since I know you do care one way or another I thought it would just be best to talk to you about this” chizuru said as she looked at him and then to the side.

[lessthanworthy]

Know hers... really? Chizuru could be dense sometimes, but this was quite stupid of her. At least she was right in him not caring about any of this, it was a little annoying for her to come crying to him with her problems. More than annoying, actually, but whatever. 

"Well, talk all you want then. Just don't expect me to do anything about it or pay attention." Cold maybe, but he didn't care.

 “i-its not a joke .. souji-san “ she looked up at him, “if it wasn’t for you I would  be dead right now.. so I .. its” she sighed “n-never mind”. *he wouldn’t care if I did tell him* chizuru said in her head *would he?”

[lessthanworthy]

Right, well, she could keep those feelings of hers to herself, it did nothing but annoy him. He didn't owe her anything, hadn't done anything for her, and it was foolish for her to think so. Surely someone like Sano would be more receiving of her affections, so why didn't she bother him instead?

"You aren't thinking that you're alive because of me, are you? I haven't done anything, and if it weren't for everyone else I probably would have just killed you and be done with the whole thing."

 Wasn’t planning on telling him? now that made the Hatter a bit upset. Break is a fan of knowing things, especially if those things make others laugh. As blind as break may be (Both figuratively and literally), he saw no danger at the moment in this man. If he were to do something so drastic as to kill him, Break’s assumption was that he would of done it already.

 ”You know, you really are quite rude to your guests." Break knew he was intruding upon this mans building (If it was even his building.), but he could at least be a bit kind and give him directions out of this place, maybe even a map to help him on his way. When called a spy break couldn’t help but laugh once or twice. This mans stupidity was greater than his thread. "If I were a spy, don’t you think I would be a bit more sneaky in my approach? And I wouldn’t go about wearing this colorful outfit as well. So do you want to assume something else? Has it even crossed your mind that perhaps I’m just lost and that I accidentally wondered into somewhere that I should not have?”

[lessthanworthy]

Guest? What a joke, and Souji hated the way this guy was talking to him. It was derogatory, this creep should show people a little more respect, especially when they were intruding on his space and headquarters. Clearly this guy was just an idiot, saying anything else would be giving him too much credit. Was he looking to die as well? Must be, considering his behaviour. Were all foreigners this stupid? Probably.

Doing nothing to hide his annoyance, Souji gave the stranger a dangerous sort of smile, hand already on the hilt of his sword. "Do you take me for an idiot? Foreigner or not, you should know better than to wander into the headquarters of the Shinsengumi. I'm not that stupid." Honestly, he didn't want to put out any effort for this creep, so he might as well just get him out in the easiest way possible. He was smart enough to know that this guy probably did just wander in here, so whatever. "If you don't get out right now, I will kill you."

[lessthanworthy]

"You’re quite the bully, Hijikata-san. Hopeless isn’t the word I would use."

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"And what word would it be?"

[lessthanworthy]

"Genius maybe? Among other things."

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"My face is not scary."

The vice-commander Souji stared with harsh eyes. Even though he was reluctant, his features were even hard and intimidating. Everyone was afraid of him and no one never dared to question his authority.

"… Isn’t?"

[lessthanworthy]

Not scary? Ha, that was a joke. There was just something about Hijikata's cold set eyes and brooding features that seemed intimidating. Well, to anyone but Souji, that was. Certainly children would be terrified of such a face.

"Your personality is worse, I'll give you that. But your face is pretty bad too."

[tatami-flip-master]

"I hope that you are prepared for your medicine, Okita-san." Yamazaki spoke up as he helped himself into the room. When Okita was sick and mostly sleeping for the days, he thought he had a right to easy access. At least, till told he was stepping boundaries.  Tea and medicine in his hands, he assume there wouldn’t be too much of a complaint about it. Then again…this was Souji they were speaking of. He could complain about anything if he tried hard enough. 

Kneeling down, Susumu still had plans to take initiative before giving the chance for the captain to speak. It made things simpler for him. Thus, a hand sneaked below the captain’s bangs and came to press against his forehead to gauge the temperature himself. “How are you feeling today?” Lie to him and he would know. It was best to tread carefully. 

[lessthanworthy]

Right. Because as soon as he woke up he had to be hounded on by this shrimp. What an unfortunate life this was, apparently just being sick wasn't enough. There really was no breathing room with this guy, was there? No, just constant harassment. Yamazaki was always so stiff and annoying, and Souji really wasn't in the mood for it at the moment. What an absolute pain.

"Oh, how kind of you." Obvious sarcasm, because medicine was just so appealing. Bet he threw something in there just to make it taste worse. How nice. "I'm fine, don't strain yourself for my sake." No really, he shouldn't even be making an effort. That just made him feel worse.

[lessthanworthy]

Well, that was a good nap.

[lessthanworthy]

Souji laughed. “Always is a little harsh, don’t you think?”

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"No, I don’t think." The vice-commander’s eyes sharpened for Souji, but he just sighed wearily and smiling slightly. "You’re hopeless."

[lessthanworthy]

"You're quite the bully, Hijikata-san. Hopeless isn't the word I would use."

[lessthanworthy]

"There’s a reason they hang around me so often."

"I would just think that a sensitive man like yourself who writes haikus all the time would be a little better with children~"

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"… I don’t write about children." 

"I just don’t know what to do when they start making too much noise. You can laugh and play with them and I… well…" He sighed. "Nevermind."

[lessthanworthy]

"Right. Because cherry blossoms and the moon are a lot more interesting."

"There's a reason they call you the demon vice-commander. But for someone with that title I would think you would be a little less useless. You probably scare them away with that terrifying face of yours."

[lessthanworthy]

Looks like that demon vice-commander was mad at him again. Geez.

[hogyoku-ume]

"Maybe If you did some work instead of goofing off all the time, you would be in less trouble."

[lessthanworthy]

"Hai, hai." Souji waved a hand in the air. "Whatever you say, Hijikata-san. an old lady like yourself would know all about that, after all."

[lessthanworthy]

"So Hijikata-san’s that bad with kids, hm?"

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"… This is not funny, Souji."

"You’re the one who should be in my place. Are you good with children."

[lessthanworthy]

"There's a reason they hang around me so often."

"I would just think that a sensitive man like yourself who writes haikus all the time would be a little better with children~"

[lessthanworthy]

"You don’t always have to assume that it’s me, I’m not the only one who does things."

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"You’re always up to something. That’s it."

[lessthanworthy]

Souji laughed. "Always is a little harsh, don't you think?"

[lessthanworthy]

"So Hijikata-san's that bad with kids, hm?"

[bravest-chief-deactivated201708]

Kondou Isami, captain of  the infamous Shinsengumi, walked in the headquarters’ courtyard with a confection of dango and the biggest smile on his face. Sometimes, on beautiful sunny days such as today, he felt in a particularly good mood, and liked to sneak off to buy some sweet rewards for his guys. As he headed towards Toshi’s room, he spotted a lone Souji sitting on the porch. He was staring ahead with a blank expression, and Isami couldn’t help but worry. So, he decided that a nice boy like Souji couldn’t be left alone like that, and approached him.

"Oh, Souji!"

"Look, I bought some dango! Care to join me for tea?"

[lessthanworthy]

Souji snapped out of his thoughts, turning to see Kondou smiling at him. Ah, he was back, was he? Smiling on like that, he looked too innocent. He really was nothing but an overgrown child, but Souji was glad to see him in such a good mood.

Returning Kondou's grin with one of his own, he stood to greet the commander. He felt happy to be wanted at the moment, without Hijikata or anyone else around to ruin his fun.

"I couldn't turn down an offer from the commander, now could I? Especially one that involves dango." Walking over to him, Souji snatched the box away from Kondou. Friendly teasing, of course. "How'd it go in town today?"

[firstdivisioncaptain-deactivate]

Like us? I hope you don’t mean the vice-commander status, do you? That sounds a little too tedious to me. Having to do all that paperwork, nag at so many people…I would much rather just be the trouble maker~

Entertainment, as always for them, came and went. Usually, it resulted in them having to amuse themselves. Which wasn’t all that hard…but Okita supposed that it could get lonely time to time. Especially when you wanted so bad to get reactions—that was a challenge when talking to yourself. But, with this new…temporary, improvement, he supposed things would be a little better, yes? They could get into some trouble, indeed they could~. 

"I think you are trying to persuade me into wrecking said havoc, Souji?" Okita replied in a bit of a playful manner as he leaned back. His face said it all, he was willing. Really, he hadn’t felt that bad today. He was up for a challenge of some sort. "How about we go find Hijikata-san’s haikus again? I heard that he wrote new ones to memorize anyways." Okay, so he didn’t hear, he found out himself. It was the idiot’s fault for always keeping it in his desk. You’d think he would take it with him for trips. 

[lessthanworthy]

No no, of course not. That would be a real pain. Nah, Kondou-san should just take us with him when he goes off to his meetings.

Yes, it was indeed quite a pain. Then again, sitting and having a conversation with himself came with certain perks as well, that was for sure. There was only so much fun you could have when you were alone on the compound, after all, but it seemed a new kind of opportunity had presented itself. This would be interesting, heh.

"Oh, righhtt." With a cheeky sort of smile, Souji matched the other Souji's position, also leaning back on his hands. "I've been meaning to do that. It's his fault for leaving them unguarded, it's like he's asking us to go through them. Ha, he's pretty bad, isn't he?" Actually, that sounded like a wonderful way to spend today. There was nothing better to do, and Hijikata's haikus always made him laugh.

[tenth-division-captain-blog]

"Oi! Souji!" said the auburn haired tenth division captain.

A crooked smile graced the man’s face as he strode over to the bedridden Souji, “Mah, seems like you need a little cheering up.” mused Sanosuke.

He knew Souji would have rather been out on patrol today than staying in his room. Then again he doesn’t blame Hijikata for putting Souji on bed rest. It seemed Souji’s health was deteriorating, not that it would have stopped the first division captain to prove his usefulness to Kondou-san. 

"Oi, Chizuru told me to pick you up some dango while I was on patrol." he said placing the bundle at the younger man’s side.

[lessthanworthy]

Hm? Oh, Sano, was it?

Souji gave the man a grin, sitting up in bed to greet him. While he wasn't exactly sure why Sano would be visiting him, at least it was something a little more interesting than just sitting there.

"Good afternoon, Sano-san." Actually, he was kinda thankful for the company. A least someone didn't seem to be pitying him, and being left on his own did get dreadfully dull.

"Chizuru-chan did? I guess I shouldn't be surprised." That was something else he appreciated, the fact that Sano had brought some dango with him. After all, it was something Souji greatly enjoyed, and he sure hadn't gotten a chance to get some himself. Hijikata saw to that.

Already digging into the sweets, Souji leaned back on his hands. "So how goes the patrols?"

[lessthanworthy]

Looks like that demon vice-commander was mad at him again. Geez.

[tasogarenoyaiba]

"What did you do this time, Souji?"

[lessthanworthy]

"You don't always have to assume that it's me, I'm not the only one who does things."
