Sagara was relieved to see both boys pass by the Miburo without being challenged. The man was by all appearances already badly wounded. Those were his last thoughts before a sword caught him in the heart.
-Somewhere in the fighting-
Tetsu: Okita-san!!! (heading towards the fray having escaped his brother's grasp)
Tatsu: Tetsu! Get out of there! (desperately running after him)
Ryouma recognized both lads.
Ryouma: Yo! Dragon Boy! Iron Boy!
Tatsu face faults as Tetsu picked up a sword from the ground & dashed into the fray, in Okita's direction.
Tetsu: Okita-san! You're hurt! Oh no!

Okita: Tetsu!!! Get away from here! DO YOU WANT TO DIE?
Okita senced an enemy behind him. It was Kogoro!
Kogoro: HEAVENS REVENGE!!!

Tetsu continued running towards Okita. Tatsu was being restrained by Ryouma, who though hurt was still conscious enough to know that Tatsu wouldn't last 5 minutes on the battlefield.
Tetsu: Okita-san! Watch out!
Tetsu reacted instinctively from his constant sparring matches in the dojo. He slid in swiftly and stabbed Kogoro in the vitals. Watching the rebel expire, the full impact of his deed struck home. Tetsu dropped the sword...
Tetsu: I... I... just... killed....
Crying, he simply sank to the bloody ground in shock...

(Sayonara~ Okita-san. *sniffles*)
Tatsu: Tetsu!
Having broken free of Ryouma, Tatsu grabbed a stunned Tetsu by the collar & ran for safety. Ryouma, mortally wounded by this time, aided their flight by holding off several would-be attackers. After all, the boys' father was a dear friend of his.
Tatsu did not stop or look back till he & Tetsu were safely away from Kyoto.
(That was fun! clap-clap)

(Insert sound of one Ichimura Tatsunosuke, brother of the new fifth capt of the Shinsengumi banging head against a convinient tree after he hears the above news.) Tatsu: Tetsu! How could you! I thought we were gonna leave this war behind us & go to Kobe to start a new life! ( Eh, sorry Tatsu-nii)
