(I'm gonna RP as Tetsu, you ppl be whomever you want in the Shinsengumi)
It was morning, and the sun was shining brightly. But last night...something bad happened...To everyone's shock...Tetsunosuke Ichimura violated one of the rules to the code of the Shinsengumi. He went too far and let himself attend in 2 private conflicts, both bloody. Thus, the boy having to commit his own punishment.
It was schedualed to be around noon, three hours from now. Ever since that night, Tetsu hasn't said a word. He was sitting in the middle of the training hall, kneeling, his hands on his lap as his bangs covered his ashamed eyes. He was alone in there, the others off doing something else most likely.
The boy stayed silent, knowing that death for him was coming closer. But, he wasn't afraid. He wanted to live up to his honor, to live up to his clan.
His fists clenched, knowing that he made the biggest mistake of all time. One, that would cost him his very life.

Okita walked calmly and solemly toward Tetsunosuke.
Okita: Why did you do it Tetsu? In any case I am to be your second. I hope you don't mind.

Tetsu still sat their, staying silent alittle longer...almost destracted in a way...and so disant. But soon enough, he spoke up, quietly.
Tetsu: Okita...I--...
The boy stopped, and sighed silently. His fists clenched alittle harder, not really knowing what to say. He slowly looked up, his bangs still slightly covering his eyes, but you could still see them. They looked so hollow, and inquity.Yet, he had tears in the corners of his eyes, but only small ones, they refused to fall, like they weren't even there.
Tetsu: I've never amounted to anything in this clan...I was never wanted. Now...
As he continued, he looked down, his hair covering his face again.
Tetsu: Now I know that.

Outside, Tatsunosuke was pacing restlessly. Why? Testu, why? If only they hadn't come to Kyoto... If only he hadn't started working here... If only Tetsu hadn't joined the Shinsengumi... If only... If only... D*** He was the eldest son! He should have been the one to avenge their parents' death... Because he was a coward & a hopeless swordsman, Tetsu...

Still looking down, Tetsu sniffled once and slowly stood, a shadow still covering his shameful eyes as he gazed over to a nearby window. First, he looked down, then he looked back up at the sunlight that was ezcaping the the gap. He walked over to it without saying a word and stopped only a few inches away. He looked up at the sunny blue sky, amybe never seeing it again. While still looking forward, he started to speak.
Tetsu: Oki--Souji...will it...will it be painful?

Tatsu stopped pacing. He should say something to his brother. They haven't spoken since they brought him back that night. He knocked on the door.
Tatsu: Okita-san, may I say something to my brother, please?

By hearing his brother's voice, Tetsu gasped under his breath. Still looking forward he narrowed his eyes in a sad expression, his bangs covering his eyes again.
Tetsu: 'Tatsu...'
Tetsu thought with despair as he fell to his knees, one of his pawms rested on the wall, along with his forhead as his tears fell to the floor. He felt so bad for disobeying his brother, to make him worry so. And to make him feel guilt.

Tatsu fought to hold back his tears as he heard Tetsu's small voice. At least he wasn't too late to see him one last time...

Tatsu rushed in & stopped facing his brother. Then he got onto his knees & bowed low as his forehead was touching the floor.
Tatsu: "Tetsu, I'm sorry! I've failed you as a brother..."
The tears came freely, much too freely...

Tetsu was still shedding his tears himself, but then, he bit his lower lip tightly, as he heard what his brother said. He sniffled, putting his hand back onto the floor, and turning around, slowly crawling to his brother, he was now kneeling, trying to wipe the tears from his eyes, and trying to act really calm about it. It almmost broke his heart to see his brother like this, he forced a smile on his face, trying as hard as he could.
Tetsu: T-...Tatsu...what are y-you apoligyzing for...y-you didn't do anything wrong...
Choked out Tetsu. But as he was trying to make his tears stop, more just came down. Endlessly like his brother's.

Tatsu struggled to find the words, instead he hugged Tetsu.
Tatsu: "Sorry... if only I was a swordsman instead of a clerk... You wouldn't have to join the Shinsengumi & you wouldn't ... " (sniffles)

Tetsu paused for a minute, then his expression softened as he embraced his brother back, crying alittle more, but not too loud.
Tetsu:...Tatsu...
The younger brother sniffled as well as he tried to keep his blurry eyes open from the amount of tears he was now shedding.
Tetsu: I...I chose it to be this way...it's not your fault...it's not your fault...
During the last few words, Tetsu voice started to drop as his bangs covered his watery eyes again, sobbing alittle harder each second.

Suddenly conscious of the time, Tatsu reluctantly released his brother. What can he possibly say? Tatsu: "Arigato... Tetsu... Sayonara..." He choked on the last word he spoke to his brother. Half-blinded by his tears, he stumbled for the door. He paused as he passed Okita. Tatsu: "Okita-san, arigato... please... don't let him suffer too much..." With that, he left.

Surprisingly enough, Tetsu was smiling, still shedding tears though. He looked to the side, his grip on his pants getting tighter, as he checkled slightly.
Tetsu: This is all...This is all just happening too fast...
He rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, slightly and sniffling.
Tetsu: 'I wish it didn't have to be this way...for Tatsu's sake...'
Three hours later...
Hijikata walked into the room...
And he was holding a sword...
When the man made his appearence, he looked more than emotionless, his eyes looked so cold, so feirce...Three men followed behind him, Shinpachi, Heisuke, and Sanosuke...they were all standing in the room, tears in the corners of their eyes. Hijikata stepped back for a stricked minimum of only 5 minutes to have some last words with the puppy...Shinpachi was first...
The short man slowly walked over to tetsu, who was still kneeling down, and kneeled infront of him as well, rubbing his eyes while talking.
Shinpachi: Tetsu...*Luaghs slightly out of misery*Ya'know...it really won't be the same without ya'...
The man's smile was weak, but painful at the same time...
((Anyone want to play the other two?))
