- In the office-
Tatsu managed to catch his breath enough to...
Tatsu: "We're under attack!" (points in the direction of the attack)

Tetsu couldn't believe that his favorite person in this dojo, who was sweet, nice, carin' an' respectful towards him was in such shock.
Tetsu: Don't u worry 'bout a thing Ayu-san. Evrythin' is goin' to be ok! *flashin' her 1 of his best smiles*
-in the office-
Yamanami, Okita, an' Hijikata got to their feets an' ran towards the direction Tatsu was takin' them.
Hijikata: Oh can this be, is the choshu that stupid to strike on our HQ! Yamanami: They are pretty bold or just plain stupid. Okita:....*serious, he was ready to strike anythin' that he was not familiar with*...
As they approach they saw Ayu & Tetsu there. Tetsu was tryin' his best to comfort Ayu-san but it was a li' too much for him. He never ever been in such position. He hasn't been around women much an' don't really know what to. He saw Hijikata & party arrive.
Tetsu: the intruder is in Ayu-san's room. Susumu, Shinpachi & Sano r fightin' him but it seems that the intruder is way stronger than them....
Before Tetsu could speak another word a body flung out from Ayu's room it hit the floor like a rag doll. Layin' there motionless...Okita didn't hesitate to run towards the comotion. Hijikata did the same, Yamanami kneeled down to give comfortin' words an' tryin' to calm down Ayu.
Yamanami: Tetsu! Go help our friend over there! Tetsu: *ran towards the body, he couldn't believe it, it was Susumu*...Yamazaki!!

Blinded by the body that was laying only a few yards infront of her, she couldn't hear Yamanami's voice at all. Her eyes grew even more wide with tears. Time grew slower...and slower.
She saw the shinobi slowly walk out of the room, obviously, he had horribly wounded the ohter two captains inside since they weren't there. Before the other men ran up to the spy, the shinobi grabbed the collar of Susumu's hitori, roughly, aiming to stab him. Though, the shinobi himself had a few wounds here and there.
Ayumu unsteadily tried to stand, having to hold onto the wall, she sobbed even more, wanting to run over to her brother.
Ayumu: Susumu...Susumu...please wake up!!!
She pleaded, knowing that she was completely helpless.

Tetsu froze on his tracks...the shinobi...was 'bout to kill Susumu. He couldn't move, he wanted to move but his legs wouldn't give.
Shipachi came runnin' out of the room lungin' at him. He new he didn't have enough strength to kill the spy but at least he would drop susumu on the floor once again.
Sano came out of the room as well but he was fatally wounded that he collapse on the floor. Hijikata drew his sword an' lunged towards the spy. Before the spy could take a leave he stab Susumu on his chest. Makin' susumu yell in agony.
Hijikata: U BASTARD!!!
Hijikata's cold steal met its target. Piercing the shinobi from the back. Makin' the blade come infront of his torso.

Ayumu shook her head slowly, not believing that this was happening. Her tears came down even faster. Her one and only brother was going to die becuase of her...becuase...of her...
Flashback, 7 years ago-
Ayumu: Susumu!
Called out a girl, looking around the streets of town. She had lost her little brother while shopping. She searched alittle more until she found a boy on the ground, sitting, and holding his scarped knee. Ayu sighed with releif while walking over to him, kneeling down beside him.
Ayumu: Susumu, you scared me...
she blinked once as she saw how bad the wound was, she smiled, and ripped off part of her kimono, wrapping it around the boy's knee to stop it from bleeding. The boy gasped slightly, looking up at his older sister.
Susumu (little): But, that's your favorite kimono...!
Ayu smiled again, and patted her brother's head lightly, playfully.
Ayumu: Don't worry, I don't mind.
With those words, the boy too, smiled.
End flashback-
Ayu's eyes got even more watery. She was letting her brother get killed, and she was just standing here...!
With a few sniffles, Ayu made up her mind.
From the wound in the shinobi's back, he fell to the ground, since it also tore thru his heart. Just as this was happening, Ayu went to her brother's side, kneeling, almost like the whole thing was in slow motion.
Ayu now had Susumu in her arms, sort of, still crying. She saw that Susumu didn't open his eyes yet, and that blood was coming fast out of his wound.
Ayumu: Susumu...I'm so sorry...
As she awkwardly talked to her brother, she didn't even notice the other ppl around her.

Hijikata order other member to help their fallen comrades. He kneeled down to were Susumu was bein' cuddled by his precious sister.
Hijikata: Ayumu, let me take Susumu to one of the rooms. plz...we need to call Matsumoto-san over so he can take care of your wounds,an' everyone elses. Hey shorty...*lookin' at tetsu*...what r u waitin' for go get Matsumoto!
Tetsu snapped out of his frozen state: Yes Sir! Right Away Sir!
Tetsu ran as fast as his to li'feet can carry him.
Susumu was dreamin'...or was he...dead...he could hear voices. He heard many familiar voices but the one of them standed above the others...his sister's. Oh Ayumu don't cry...I did it to same you...is was a pay back for what u did whenever I was small, remember that. Talkin' in his unconscieness.

Ayumu ever so slowly saw her brother's breathing become smaller and smaller. She held him even closer (Like Tatsu did in episode 1 with Tetsu) She couldn't stop her tears from coming, even if she wanted them to.
Ayumu: You can't leave me...you can't die...not yet...not like this...*Sobs more* Oh,God...
Soon, her brother's blood was staining her kimono, but she didn't care, she just held him alittle tighter, almost trying to grab him back from death's spirit.
At that moment, a sahdow covered Ayu's eyes, as she hunched down, and started to whisper something in Susumu's ear painfully.
Ayumu: *Still crying* I'll never forget what you did...
She lifted her head up alittle and lightly planted a gentle kiss on her brother's forehead, after, slowly and carefully handing him to Hijikata's arms. Ayu, still looking down, rubbing her watery eyes.

Hijikata took Yamazaki's body an' stared at Ayu: Don't u dare do somethin' stupid. You hear me! ur brother hasn't left us yet so don't u Dare do somethin' u might regret! Its an order!
He slowly took the boy to one of the clean rooms. He placed him on the futon. as he looked around to see shinpachi & sano as well.
A few minutes later Matsumoto with one of his apprentice came runnin' into the room.
Matsumoto: Oh my! The hell's is goin' on!
Hijikata explained in a couple of sentences.
Hijikata went outside an' saw Ayumu starin' at the heaven: Ayumu, go inside an' get those wounds fixed...again.

As she was looking up, a gentle sweep of wind blowed her crytal like tears from her eyes. She slowly turned to Hijikata, her eyes very hollow.
Ayumu: Sir...*Her voice deep* This is all my fault...I led the...shinobi...here...
By the word, 'shinobi', it made Ayu wince slightly.
Ayumu: And now...my brother payed the conciquneces...
She sniffled, looking down as she slowly walked passed her V-commander, and into the room that he had just left out of, without saying another word.

Hijikata couldn't think or do anythin' at what she said, but there should be constant watch for the shinobi...or other type of intruder.
Matsumoto-san was done with all 3 of them. Sano what there yellin' 'bout that he had 9 lifes like a cat an' Shinpachi was gettin' out his li'hammer to quiet down his loud friend. Yamazaki was layin' on the floor, his neck was cover in bandages an' Matsumoto was just wrappin' the final bandages on his chest. His helper was holdin' Yamazaki.
Matsumoto turned towards the door to see Ayu come in: Hey there Ayu-san, don't fret any longer, ur brother is gonna make it...he has a fightin' spirit....hahaha *very loud, tryin' to ease up the mood*....well, if u don't mind please come here an' let me have a look to your wounds!

Ayu put a hand up to one of her eyes, wiping away a tear as she weakly smiled, relived.
Ayu: So...he's okay...
The young woman slowly walked over to the man, kneling down infront of him, another shadow covering her eyes.
Ayu: Thank-you so much...But, compared to these friends of mine...and my brother's...my wounds are really nothing...

Matsumoto saw her expression change.
Matsumoto: Ayu-san! Evry1 at this dojo is a very valuable character. So don't put ur self to the side. Evry1 at this dojo simple respect, adore, an' care 'bout u!
As Matsumoto finished his babblin' he was finish with her wounds. yes, this guy is like a god or somethin'. He's very skilled on this profession.
Matsumoto cleanin' his hands with a damp towel: Now, Ayu-san u need to rest an' please help this men get into better shape. Please clean their wounds for me. I'll be back in 4 days. So please take good care of them an' your self too! Bye!
He went out the door to go speak with Hijikata an' 'bout the bill! ^^ got to make a livin'!!

Ayumu was slightly surpirsed by how Matsumoto said about what her fellow comrades think of her. She always thought that she was just their cook, and maybe a friend,...but that much? When he stood up, she didn't even noyice him finish, she looked at her minor wounds and sighed slightly, still saddened.
She turned her head slightly, looking at the others, she looked down, her eyes getting slightly watery again, but she had a weak smile.
Ayu: I'm so sorry everyone...I let you get hurt...and nothing good came out of it...
She was talking in a whisper, but at that moment, she thought that she was a complete burdon.

Hijikata finally got out 'bout the bill with Matsumoto-san. Callin' out to Tetsu: Hey u, I want u, ur brother an' Heisuke to cook for the time being. While Shinpachi, Sano, Susumu, an' Ayu get better, an' if u see Ayumu get near the kitchen, push her out. Ok, its an' order.
Tetsu: *baffled, he was goin' to cook for the whole Dojo!?* N-nani!? R u mad Hijikata! There's like 'bout 100 an' somethin' members in here an' all of the sudden u want me to cook!
Hijikata: Look Tetsu, my page, I thought I should remind u of ur li'status if u have forgotten; just do it, ur not workin' on it only you did u hear who else!
Tetsu: yes sir...*mumblin'*...I'm goin'...
That night...evry1 ate food cooked from Tetsu, Tatsu, & Heisuke....
One of the members: Should we call doctor Matsumoto...we might get food poisonin'...
All the men who were listenin' were laughin' their butts of. ^^
