Ayumu's day off

[Mibbie.]

(I'm not going to bother putting this in the rgistration, but in this forum, I'm Rping Ayumu k? You ppls can be anyone else)

A young woman with dark brown hair and dark eyes who looked slightly southern stood at the familiar brigde in Kyoto. She was looking down into the river with her elbows rested on the walk handle. She looked so dazed and concerned for something, but she didn't know what it was. She thought that maybe it was her brother that was making her worry, but why would it be that? Was she just tired? The women just sighed quietly to herself and tried to think of a different subject that she could relate to.

Ayumu: 'I wonder what I should make for the seniors tonight...I could make some curry...or rice...or maybe some fish? No,no...I made that last night...I know! I'll make them all three dishes! .....No....That just seems alittle too fancy....*sigh*'

The woman just found herself slightly stressed again, she just shut her eyes, her elbows supporting her as she kept her head low.

Ayumu: 'I guess I'm just not used to day's like this...I really don't know how to...exactly, relax...'

[Umeko]

A matronly female rushes along with her companion. She is the owner of a family restaurant in Kyoto. Her long-suffering companion is struggling under the weight of various purchases.

Umeko: Nami! Did we get the bandages? Will you believe the prices these days? And the soy sauce? Good! (she recognizes the Shinsengumi's cook on the bridge, having met her several times while shopping) Yamazaki-san?

(She signals to her assistant to take a rest while she greets a friend)

Umeko: Ohayo, Yamazaki-san, shopping?

[Mibbie.]

Umeko seemed to have broken her thoughts as she looked up at the other woman surpirsed. She blinked once and smiled awkwardly.

Ayumu: Miss Umeko, oh no, I'm not doing anything like that...

The woman looked to the side for a second then back at the other girl smiling again, wanting to change the subject.

Ayumu: Why, are there any good sale today?

She said in her well-known southern accent.

[Umeko]

Umeko: Well, there a great kimono sale at Momoko's. The prices are to die for. Quality silks too. The designs are divine... I really recommend checking it out.

Nami: Yamazaki-san, there's also a new store selling hairpins. Next to Momoko's.

[Mibbie.]

Ayumu smiled as she nodded once.

Ayu: Oh, that sounds lovely...maybe I'll go by there sometime today...

She blinks once as she noticed the girl behind Umeko.

Ayumu: Uhhh....heh.

She just smiled again, not really wanting to ask.

[Umeko]

Umeko: You know, you girls should really consider your future. Yamazaki-san, do you know any young man you can introduce to my little Nami here?

Nami: (turns red in the face) Umeko-dono!

Umeko: (drops voice by a few notchs) Yamazaki-san, do you have a special someone in there? (winks before raising voice again) Girls shouldn't be too shy, in these times. If you have that special someone, go for it. Right?

Nami: Umeko-dono, it really is getting late... (still blushing) I'm sure Yamazaki-san is busy too...

[Mibbie.]

Ayumu was dumbfounded by that question for a few seconds and just smiled slightly blushing herself, but not out of shyness.

Ayumu: Of course, there's a mighty fine lot of men at the HQ. Some even that I'm really familiar with too. I'm sure they would like to meet miss Nami.

Ayumu's grin got alittle bigger and placed one of her hands on her cheek of the thought of young love.

Ayumu: That is, if you can handle em'.

By that last comment, she giggled quietly, feeling kinda silly for bragging about the seniors.

[Umeko]

Nami blushed even more.

Nami: Umeko-dono, we really ought to be going...

Umeko: You're right, (to Ayu) See you then, Yamazaki-san.

The duo left.

[Mibbie.]

She smiled , watching the two leave, waving goodbye at the same time. After they were completely out of site, Ayu frowned again, turning back to the lake. Then, it hit her, she kne why she was acting so depressed. The woman wrapped up the sleeve to her kimono and looked at her wrist, she starred wide-eyed at what she saw.

There was a scar right across the middle of her left wrist.

She trembled, not even remembering doing something like that, she backed away, and started to feel light headed, her eyes swelled up with tears, she didn't even know why she was crying, did she do this herself? Or did someone do it to her...she didn't know anymore...

Ayumu: ......

[Otemba]

(I'll willl RP Susumu Yamazaki, yes I will be li'bro here =^_^=!!)

He walked thru the streets gettin' everythin' that Okita, Sano & Shinpachi wanted...he turn to the corner an' came to site of the brigde as he came closer he saw a figure there sobbin'. He got nearer an' saw his beloved sister there tremblin', cryin' in pain.

Yamazaki: Ayumu! Ayumu! *dropped everythin' he has bought into the river*...What's the matter? speak to me? Ayu!....

He saw that she wasn't her self at all...an' suddenly fainted. He was so scared an' worry that he didn't care if people saw him, but he had to do it. He lifted her into his arms an' dissappeared like a true ninja should do in moments of need.
He appeared in the dojo's door. screamin' with crystal clear streams coverin' his lovely face...

Yamazaki: Someone Plz Help me! Ayu! Is Ayu! Plz! HELP ME!

[Mibbie.]

By the loud shouts, a large man came running to the door, and opened it quickly. He gasped with shock, moving aside to let them in.

Sano: Yamazaki! What happened?! Why's Ayu unconcious??

Sano wanted to ask so many questions, but he tried to hold most of them back. Ayu, on the other hand, had her dark brown bangs covering her eyes, still in her younger brothers arms.

[Umeko]

Tatsu poked his head out of the accounts room at the commotion.

Tatsu: "What's going on? OH NO! Are we being attacked? TETSU!"

He trips over the steps and drops the account books.

[Mibbie.]

Byall of the loud camotions, the young women slowly and painfully opens her eyes. Feeling warmth all around her. She was too frightend from earliar to speak at all, tears just swelled up in her eyes again, so dissapointed in herself for being a burdon.

[Otemba]

Yamazaki notice how frighten his sister got...but why the tears, why such crystal clear dropplets has taken place on my sister beautiful face.

Yamazaki: Ayu, what's the matter? why were u alone? plz answer me?

He didn't wanted to cry infront of all his commrades, he had to be brave to not let his emotions get on his way...he should not be reactin' like Tetsu does...

Yamazaki: Sano! get Todo or Hijikata or anybody to get my sister's wounds clean? get a DOCTOR!!!
*he turned to face Ayu*
Sister...how did u get this? who did this to u?

[Mibbie.]

Ayu heard her brother's voice very clear, she looked up at him, her tears now rolling down her cheeks.

Ayumu: I...I don't know...I don't know what happened...I don't know how I...I...

She sobbed more, not being able to hold it in any longer. She was so confused, she didn't know where she got them, or if she had even done them herself. She was just so lost.

She didn't want to cry in front of her younger brother, she had always wanted to prove a good, and positive example, but today wasn't that day.

Sano ran out of the room without being told twice, leaving the two there alone for a few moments.
