The silver haired boy stood still, and standing behind Yoshida, preparring for anything of how his master was going to react. His eyes were still narrowed, looking heartless.
Yoshida stayed quiet for a few moments, until he just shut his eyes calmly.
Yoshida: Suzu. Wait outside. I'll be out there soon.
By those demands the boy did what he was told, and turned around, walking out of the resturant, and standing outside, leaning his back against the wall, and by deafalt, listening to the conversation inside.
Yoshida looked up at Umeko, still glaring, he began to speak up, slightly louder, but still a calm tone.
Yoshida: So they're gone then. Tell me something, how many men were at the incident?
Meanwhile-
The boy outside slightly gasped now looking up at the sky.
Suzu: I knew it...

Umeko: (calmly) Capts Harada, Todo and Nagakura were here when that Aizu man raised the alarm. Okita did the arresting. He brought his patrol... I can't be sure of the exact numbers.

Yoshida thought about this for a few seconds until he was able to find words.
Yoshida: I see...
Yoshida lowered his eyes to the table, getting deep into thought.
Meanwhile-
The page who was waiting outisde was still looking up at the night sky, but then he slowly hovered his hand over his katana's handle, holding it firmly, but not want to take it out.
Suzu: 'I know what he's planning...I just hope I'm ready...'
Back-
Yoshida soon got out of his deep thoughts and looked back up at Umeko, smirking a devish grin with his eyes being fixed within hers.
Yoshida: You've been helpful...
His smirk getting alittle bigger.
Yoshida: Since you've been so nice...I'll let you in on something...
He continued on.
Yoshida: By midnight tonight, the Shinsengumi will fall in vein, and so will those rebals.
With that he stood, facing her before he walked out.
Yoshida: If you don't get in my way, I can promise you that you, nor anyone else in this resturant now will be harmed.

Umeko: Hmph. I sincerely hope you've discussed this matter with my brother and the others. And what do you propose to do about the kitchen help...
Before she could continue, she hears someone whistling Yankee Doodle Dandy
-Outside the room-
Nami: Sir! You can't go in there! SIR!
(Guess who?) ;D ;D

( Oh,god..unfortunatly, I think I have an idea of who it is... )
The man smirked an even more horrifying smirk as he eyes looked greedy, then, he just turned, walking out of the resturant. Entering the outside world.
The boy was still looking up at the sky, but blinked once, turning his gaze to the door, where he now saw his master stand. Yoshida still had the grin on his face as he slowly turned to the boy.
Yoshida: Heh. Suzu...are you ready to shed blood once again?
The mans voice was slow, and at the few last words, his voice got deeper. The boy narrowed his eyes in a expression of sadness slightly, then, his face just turned almost emotionless, then he nodded a yes.
Yet again, he would have to kill more people, even if he didn't want to, but all that his master told him was that it was for the better. And Suzu believed him.

Umeya backroom
If Ryouma was surprised to see Yoshida and his page at Umeya, he decided to ignore them.
Ryouma: Umeko-san! Your best red bean pancakes! Sugar plum?
Umeko's face was very serious and thoughtful. Ryouma surveyed the chaos in the restaurant. He looked around at the girls trying to tidy up the place before realizing one of her staff was missing.
Ryouma: Don't tell me... they got him.
A nod.

Yoshida began to walk torward the Shinsengumi HQ, for some reason being very confident. With Suzu looking up and following, his hand holding his sword in the same process. This was nothing different for him, his master would always sometimes snap like this and want to kill as much as he can. But to the boy, it still felt wrong. it made the page remember back about a year or 2 ago, and how he was in the same exact situation.
Flashback-
Suzu: 'Master!!'
Thought a slightly younger Suzu as he watched his beloved gardian slice a man in to, the blood falling on Yoshida. The man had a smirk, the kind that made Suzu want to run, but he didn't. Then, the man jerked his head behind him, seeing a wounded Shinsengumi member on the ground, his arm was completely gone.
Yoshida:...
The crazed man walked up to that man and picked him up roughy by his uniform, and dropped him right infront of the boy's feet, the man on the ground said nothing, knowing he was going to die.
Yoshida: Do it.
The copper eyed boy stared horrifyingly at the body, petrified of fear, he looked up at the man standing with tears in his eyes, almost begging him not to.
Yoshida; You do want revenge don't you?? So do it!
After that, the boy looked back down at the man, tears rolling down his cheeks, he shut his eyes tight, drawing out his sword, and with both hands, he cleaned the man's head right off his shoulders. Letting blood fall on his own cloths and face.
end flashback-
Still walking, the boy lowered his head, his bangs covering his eyes. But something overwhelmed in him, remembering that memory woke something in the boy, his eyes turned wide, looking up, his pupils small. It was almost like he was possessed. (Big thing happening here!) he slowly took out his sword, and gritted his teeth as he ran up all the way to the man and stabbed it straight thru the man's back. When he saw what he did, the boys became emotionless, again. almost what Souji looks like when he kills.

-Umeya-
Umeko: So long as that loose cannon Yoshida doesn't burn down Kyoto or antagonize the local wolf pack... Ryouma?
Ryouma: I better go check on them. (He just realized the direction in which Yoshida and his page were heading was that of the Shinsengumi HQ) I'm watch out for Kenshin as well. (Goes to the door)
Umeko: Be careful. I'll save you your red bean pancakes.

The boy was now panting slightly as he roughly pulled out his sword, taking a step back. He saw his Master wince in pain as he did this. Blood was pouring from his wound. The slowly turned his head to face Suzu, it was an expression the boy had never seen before, it was so insane, anxious.
Yoshida: You've...you've finally...become a killer!
Since the blade also went straight thru his haert, blood dripped down the side of Yoshida's jaw. He first fell to his knees, then all the way to the ground, his eyes rolled all the way in the back of his head.
As the boy's little episode passed, he stood there wide eyed. Not at all believing what he had done. His hands trembled as he dropped his sword, his eyes shaking with confusion as well.
Suzu: What have I done...What have I done...!!!

Ryouma just caught up with the duo. He made the wrong assumption that they were the victims of some random attack by those ronins running wild in the city recently. He knew from the blood on the street that Yoshida was gone.
Ryouma: Boy! Get out of there! Hurry!
Then he spots the local patrol unit and makes a bolt for it away from Yoshida's body and the shocked page.
The local patrol unit, coincidentally happened to be the one escorting Battousai to the jail. Kenshin made use of this distraction Ryouma posed to hit the guards on either side of him hard in the gut and flee down an alleyway.
The men looked around in bewilderment. Who should they chase?

Suzu stood there, only focused on his surroundings, not even hearing what Ryoma had said. Tears came down and he fell to his knees, he crwaled to the corpse of Yoshida, putting his tan hand on his wound gently. He just sobbed more, completwly broken hearted.
Suzu: Master...Master...
He looked down, his silvery bangs covering his copper eyes, his tears fell onto his arms, slding down.
Suzu: I'm sorry...Master...*sobs even more* Please wake up, I'm so sorry...
Pleaded the boy desperatly. He was all lone again, he had lost his only companion, his grip on the man's cloth got tighter, as his eyes were now tight shut, even more sad.
Suzu: Why! Why did this happen, why did any of it...*Sniffles* Master!!!
Screamed the boy, competley resting his forhead on the man's dead shoulder, begging for him to come back.

Of course, Ryoma and Battousai were way too preoccupied to notice. Kenshin ran and shook off his pursuers in a maze of back alleys before creeping back to a certain Kohagi Inn. Sakamoto led his on a merry chase through town before losing them. Then he went back to Umeya for his red bean pancakes.
In short, it wasn't Gentatsu or Okita's day. Having lost 2 of the most wanted men in Japan.

After a few moments, the boy lifted his head, but now, his expression was so angry, so frustrated, and so crazed, and yet, the tears still came.
Suzu: damn this hell hole...and everyone in it!
Still enraged, the boy graped his sword, and gripped it with shaking hands, he stood up, his insane and wide eyes looking over at the baffled captains. With his eyes still looking hellsih, he saw one of the men run over to him, a short one. The man looked concerned.
Shinpachi: Hey, are you alright?!
The boy never answered, but instead, he took his blade, and it was almost like slow motion as he stabbed the 2 unit captain straight through Shinpachi's abdomen. Looking still as mad as ever.
The short man went wide-eyed and fell to hsi knees, grasping his sromach, blood swepping thru his fingers, and choking out blood, hunched all the way down in agony.
And all the while, Suzu looked down at the man, not having one ounce of pity.

(Mou, poor Shinpachi ) -Kohagi Inn- Kenshin just made it back by the skin of his teeth and he was very surprised when Tomoe brought a basin of water for washing up. "Tomoe-san?" Tomoe: "Umeko-dono asked Chidori and me to return to the inn..." Kenshin: "You shouldn't be about on that sprained ankle." Tomoe was limping. Tomoe: "And you're bleeding..." Kenshin realized his cut cheek had started bleeding again. He awkwardly allowed the girl to dab at the wound. He thought back to what Gentatsu had said with a rush of guilt. It can't be this Tomoe...- Umeya kitchen- Ryoma, very out of breath but still cheerful, strode into the kitchen. "Howdy, Sugar-plum!" Umeko was waiting with the pancakes and a pitcher of cool water. Ryoma: "Great news. Himura got away." Umeko let out a small squeal of joy. Ryoma: "But Yoshida-san's dead. Has his page been here?" Umeko looked puzzled. "Yoshida d-dead? I haven't seen his boy... maybe he went to the other place... What happened?"

Another man, accept this time a skinny one, ran up to Shinpachi, totally shocked. He knelt down beside the short man, in some way try to help him, but as time still grew slow, Todo looked up at Suzu, who was still looking down at them emotionlessly. He gave the kind of look that made Todo's heartbeat grow faster with fear.
Todo: 'W-who is this boy!?'
but before he could even get his answer, Suzu had struck Todo in the shoulder, still, without any regrets. The skinny man gasped with pain as he shut his eyes right,with the bone from his shoulder now showing, and blood pouring freely. Suzu held the now bloody sword still, as his eyes had almost no pupils, and as if he were completely possesed.
Sano: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS KID'S PROBLEM!!!?
Yelled Sano as he ran over to the boy, grasping him tightly by the shoulders, angry that Suzu had hurt his friends badly when they were only concerned. Looking at the angry sano, Suzu still looked like a walking shell, he didn't say anything, he was just going to kill, and kill, and kill, until he finally gets enough.
