Tetsu: When I was asking to join the Shinsengumi, they asked me if I was prepared to become a demon... I said yes. But I am not sure... if I can actually kill... Okita-san kills, so does Hijikata-san and everyone else... I've seen them... (looks away) I'm just the page. Hijikata-san still refuses to let me have a real sword. And Nagakura-san gave me a bokken instead! Man, they treat me like some kid...

Suzu looked at Tetsu for a bit, then, after a few moments, he smiled another weak smile, his expression becoming more friendlier.
Suzu: They're only trying to protect you...but still--...
The silver haired boy looked down again, covering half of his face with his sleeves.
Suzu: You have so much innocence...and yet so much modivation...to them, you are still a kid. And they don't want to ruin your life by making you kill. Revenge can be made many ways...
Suzu looked back up at Tetsu.
Suzu: You think you could really handle that kind of pressure?

Tetsu: The first time I actually saw Okita-san and the others kill, it kinda freaked me out. But they do it all the time... I guess I wouldn't know... I was so mad at the Choushu guys for killing my parents, I sorta thought I could get revenge for them by becoming stronger in the Shinsengumi. I was mad at Tatsu-nii for acting so cowardly and not becoming a swordsman. I thought it was up to me... That person killed my father and mother in front of me and then set our house on fire. I would've burnt to death if Tatsu-nii hadn't got back from school then...

Suzu smiled again.
Suzu: Well...just don't make the same mistake I made...I mean, look at where I am now...heh, who were to thought I'd die in a place like this...
With those words, he didn't really sound sad, just sort of basic, like he was acting like his normal teenage self. But dep down, he was hiding something.
Suzu: Heh.
Another shadow covered the boy's eyes as he looked down, coverhis face, yt again, with his black sleeves.
Suzu:...

Tetsu: Suzu? You haven't answered my question yet... What were you doing sneaking ... Tetsu stops as the final bits of the puzzle fell into place. Yes, he is slow that way Tetsu: Suzu, were you ordered by *them* to spy on us? (steps back from the window)

Suzu: Y-yea.
Said the boy, his voice slightly scuffed by his clothes.
Suzu: I always follow my orders...well...most of the time...
Suzu looked back up to face Tetsu again, this time smiling again curiously.
Suzu: What are you acting surprised for?

Tetsu: (in disbelief) How could you, you moron!? He sinks to a sitting position under the window to avoid looking at Suzu. Tetsu: (murmuring) Guess I'm the real moron here... I better go take in the laundry. (sniffles) looks like rain... (stands up & leaves) Actually, it is a bright sunny day with clear skies.

After Suzu saw that Tetsu had left, he looked foreward again, a shadow covering his eyes. Yet, he was still smiling.
Suzu: Heh.
He covered his face in his sleeves again, wondering what good this all would of been if he ever did get that document. Yoshida would probably just make him do it again. If Suzu wasn't thrown in this jail cell...then he would of hurt alot of ppl, even innocent ones.
Suzu: 'But...I wanted to hurt them...didn't I?'
The boy was now more confused now then ever. His forehead leaning on his knees, his eyes went wide, still smiling as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Suzu: What the hell...!
Whispered the boy, still shedding tears.
Suzu: Why am I...crying...I have no reason to...!!!
Continued Suzu, still whispering, but he couldn't go on. He shut his eyes tight, silently sobbing to himself, letting all his emotions out to the shadows.

- Night-
Tetsu wondered idly how their captive was doing. Hijikata had wanted to question him after lunch, until Okita-san stole his haiku book. Hijikata-san chased the poor postman way, way out of town & didn't get back till dinnertime. After which he simply wanted a nice long nap.
I should've seen THAT coming...
Tetsu fumed. Ayu-nee called out to him as he passed the kitchen & handed him a plate of onigiri. He was deep in thought when he found himself passing near the cell window holding a plate of onigiri.
Tetsu: Suzu! You still in there?
(Where do you expect him to be? ;D)

Suzu, who was still sitting in the dark cell with his knees up to his chest, had his arms rested on his knees, covering his mouth area, and only showing his blank, solid chestnut eyes. The boy still looked foreward, he wasn't crying anymore, but the tears stained his cheeks with marks. The boy was so silent, like he was in another world.
Suzu: Where else would I be...
Said Suzu densely, like he was dazed with sadness. His breathing was slightly uneven from the lack of proper nutriceints (Foods, water), but he chose it to be that way.

Tetsu: Ayu-nee told me you refused all food and drink. You aren't going on a hunger strike or anything, right? Or are you just too scared to eat cause you know you're gonna be in for it when Hijikata-san gets round to questioning you?

By Tetsu's question, Suzu lowered his face, burrying it into his sleeves as he spoke.
Suzu: I refuse to eat becuase I choose to live up to my dignity. In no circumstance am I ever going to be the Shinsengumi's...'pet'.
Said Suzu coldly, but in a calm tone.

Tetsu: (munching on an onigiri) Suit yourself. Anyhow, Demon Hijikata's gonna personally question you... you shoulda answered Okita-san's questions nicely when he asked. From what I hear from Sano, the Demon lives up to his name when he's questioning prisoners. (Remember that ep from the anime where we got Shin & Sano listening to Hijikata's interrogation session?) Tetsu: Good night then... (goes to leave) Er, it was nice knowing you...

Suzu didn't respond to what tetsu said, and frankly, he didn't really care. He wasn't afraid at all, and he wasn't scared of dying. The boy lifted his head up from his sleeves, and looked over at the window with solem eyes. He was looking out at the sky. The moon's light gracfully danced in his eyes and on his skin. The boy looked so innocent at that moment, and tho, he gazed endlessly. Probably becuase this would be the last time he ever got a chance to get to see the night sky. He remembered, whenever he was loenly when he was young, he would lookup to the sky for comfort.
The boy looked foreward again, knowing that the moon won't be able to comfort him. He blinked once slowly and lazily as he looked at his tan hands carefully, wonderin' what went wrong. He bent his fingers up and down slowly, looking spaced out. but then, he just clenched them, letting them lightly fall to ththe floor.
He looked up at the cieling, his eyes having dark circles around them as he again, dazed out into the darkness, waiting for the lonely night to end, and for the hell to begin.

-Morning, Kondo's Office- Yamanami: Nani? I thought Toshi- Kondo: Hijikata's taken ill from running in the rain yesterday. (From Hijikata's room came the sound of explosive sneezing & Okita fussing over, or rather ribbing the patient) Yamanami: I heard from Okita the prisoner is stubborn... Kondo: Sano & the others will be willing to assist... CRASH! (Tetsu drops the tea tray outside.)
