Ryoma just faced Okita curiously, then smiled another big grin, giving his usual peace signs.
Ryoma: Hey there, Okie! Sorry, I don't plan on getting caught today...
Just then, the man noticed the unit surround the cell, and he just sighed dissapointedly, still smiling.
Ryoma: Though, I am dissapointed, taking a kid in jail...?
Ryoma just chuckled slightly, and jumped off the roof, landing on one of the samurai's head's. He plopped onto the ground, leaving the samurai all swirly eyed on the ground. Ryoma stood, seeing how he was immidiatly surrounded, then, he just smiled another thingyy grin, putting his hands behind his head.
Ryoma: ;D Still up on that offer, Okie?
Said the man, onviously referring to trying to scout Okita like he's always been. Meanwhile, Suzu was still in the cell, he was now standing, but he didn't go close to the window, he just watched the scene.
Suzu: 'This guy must be crazy...'

Okita looked more serious.
Okita: Capture Sakamoto!
Hearing that name all of the great members of the troop came running out. Hijikata and Kondo quickly equiped themselves after a game of shogi.
Kondo: It's Sakamoto!

Ryoma just scartched the back of his ear, with his eyes lazily closed, waiting for Okita's unti to come after him. Then, when they were close enough, Ryoma opened his eyes, smirking a horrifying, and compedable grin. He grabbed somthing from behind him, and pulled it out from behind his back as he pulled the trigger on the object. Letting three loud shots be heard that could almost break your eardrums. The bullets hit three men, Injuring them and making them callapse to the ground, in agony. Ryoma smirked again, aiming at the petrified men.
Ryoma: Is that all you got?? *Chuckles*

Sanosuke and Sanjuro came out of the dojo with their spears after a good match! They charged Sakamoto.

Seeing the two large men charge at him, Ryoma gulped childishly, not really expecting such a camotion. Well, he was a wanted man after all. Hehe...
First, Sanosuke made an attept to his Ryoma, but the man dogded. or barely, and then saw another attack come from the man, he dodged that one too. He didn't really try to shoot anymore, the other guys he shot weren't at the vital points, so they would live. But he didn't come here to kill. although, he may have to change that decision.
Ryoma:'Uh-oh!'
Thought Ryoma as he saw another attack come for him, the men were moving fast. Left up to no more desicions, the man decided to fire. He saw one of the men come behind him, so he turned and shot. But the man wasn't there anymore! and it hit somthing--no, someone else...
Meanwhile-
Suzu was still watching, inside the cell, keeping a distance, he watche the men fight, and it confused him. He still wanted to know who this man was. But, the boy's eyes went wide with shock as he flet unbelievable pain in his shoulder. An agony that seemed to come out of nowhere...
Suzu looked down at his right shoulder, his eyes shaking with how bad it felt. Ryoma's bullet had hit Suzu in the shoulder. The bullet had went passed the bars, into the cell. It was most unlikly, but it happened.'
The boy shut his eyes, gripping his shoulder as the blood fell. His bangs covered his eyes as he gritted his teeth togather, slowly sliding down, now sitting on the floor.
Outside-
Ryoma gasped at what he had done, stupidly going off-guard.
Ryoma: 'Kid!'

Yamazaki leapt to his feet when he heard the gunshots from the infirmary. Forgeting he is not a shinobi anymore, he tried to run into the fray but Dr Matsumoto stopped him.
Matsumoto: Yamazaki, wait. We'll need you here.
Yamazaki: ?
Matsumoto: I'll teach you how to treat gunshot wounds.
((Medic problem taken care of ;D))

Ryoma gulped stupdly as he put the gun back into his back pocket, putting on his cowboy hat. He turned, slightly in a rush, and gave the peace sign to Okita one last time.
Ryoma: Seeya Okie! Don't you go and let that kid die now!
With that, he ran off, jumping over the gate, and out of the quarters. Ryoma had escaped. Again. Okita's men, and a few of the others became alittle less tense, but still alert.
Inside the cell-
Sweat started to slowly role down Suzu's cheek as the pain was soon unabreable. Pretty soon, his whole arm ahd become numb. And when he went to slightly open his eyes, everything was blurry, from th amount of blood he was loosing.
Suzu: 'Dammit! What the hell did that guy do to me!?'
Thought the boy in rage, but agonized. What scared the boy even more was, that his fingers could feel a peice of metal stuck deep inside his wound. He shivered at the feeling. The boy hinched over even more, his head inbetween his legs as he tried to ease his pain somehow, and he wa salso trying to stop himelf from yelling in destress.

Matsumoto & Yamazaki arrived to treat the wounded men for their wounds...
Matsumoto: "Yamazaki, the pellet must be removed from the wound if it didn't pass through the body... Carefully, now..."
((Yep, hands-on training in field medicine. I assume that since muskets were used in Japan since the start of the Tokugawa era, Matsumoto will have had exprience with removing musket pellets. Sakamoto's pistols are a relatively new introduction. ))

Shinpachi, who was followed by Heisuke, saw this little inccident, and just blinked. Very confused at the moment. They both just looked forward, completely confused.
Shinpachi: Sakamoto, right? Heisuke: Yep. Shinpachi: He's wanted? Heisuke: Yep. Shinpachi:...And he got away? Heisuke: Yep. Shinpachi: So we lost?! Heisuke: Yep...
Shinpachi now had one eyebrow twitching, as he slolwy turned to face his friend, his fists clenched childishly.
Shinpachi: Is that all you can say?!
Heisuke looked down at his friend and smiled an awkward grin, sweatdropping.

No one was aware Suzu had been hit, not until one puppy-boy went to bring some food to the prisoner about mealtime & then burst yelling into the infirmary about someone being dead and all in the cell. The bleeding had slowed a bit by the time Dr Yamazaki came to take a look.

Suzu was still concious, or barely when Yamazaki had come into the cell. The boy was looking forward, his eyes crescent, and looking like they had no color. He was still holding onto his arm, though, since it had been open, and that the bullet had been in there for so long, it was quickly getting infected. Suzu's hand was covered with dry blood, but the new blood was becoming slower. It was like the page was in in a whole other world, pain numbing his body and his mind. Also, for some reason, the boy thought he was going crazy. Becuase he could see his brother a couple feet infront of him. Though, the figure was foggy looking. Suzu's expression still didn't change, but his breathing became slower. ' Brother...'Suzu'd 'brother' had a smile, and still looked young. He walked up to the boy, kneeling on the other side of him from wheer Yamazaki was, and put his 'real' hand on Suzu's shoulder. " Hey, don't worry...you'll be okay,whatever you do,just don't give into the darkness." By those echoing words, the spirit stood up, smiling once more before he turned, and dissapeared. Suzu still said nothing, now, not thinking that he was crazy, but that maybe he was just asleep? 'Big...big brother...' (( OMG......I'm gonna cry... ))

Yamazaki slowly & gently pried the boy's hand from the wound. The boy was barely conscious & did not resist. He is very weak from blood loss from the wound. Yamazaki cautiously felt around the wound. It needed cleaning & the bullet was still lodged there. Tetsu: Is he... Yamazaki: He's alive for now, but the bullet needs to be taken out. (To some guard outside) I need some help holding him while I take out that little devil. Guard: Yamazaki-san, he's just a prisoner. Yamazaki: Just take it that I'm getting in some practice for the next time Sakamoto pays us a visit. Yamazaki fumbled about in his medical kit for the tools needed to retrieve the bullet. Nothing like a little hands-on practice.

Suzu sort of came back to this world as he felt someone hold onto him. His eyes drifted slightly, confused. But still, it was all so blurry. Then, unbeliveable pain came over him. He felt something very sharp enter his arm. Yamzaki was starting to take the bullet out. The boy shut his eyes tight, his mouth tight shut as well as he gritted his teeth inside. It just hurt that bad...
He wanted to scream out, but he didn't. He really didn't know what was going on, and blood started to drip again. Suzu's silver bangs covered his eyes as sweat slid down his cheek again, trying so hard to deny the pain...
Meanwhile-
Shinpachi and Heisuke were watching outside from the door. They were also confused on why their friend was working on a prisoner. Weren't they planning on killing him anyway? Why save him? They question spun in their minds. But they also couldn't deny the fact that he was just a kid. Shinpachi elbowed Heisuke lightly on the side, still looking forward.
" Hey, you think that kid'll live?"
Whispered the short man. Heisuke also still looked forward, and shrugged, scratching the back of his ear. " Who knows..."

Yamazaki wiped sweat off his brow after what seemed like an eternity. It was the first time he actually did such a procedure without Dr Matsumoto's supervision. The bullet had been lodged in the bone, but he had got it out. The wound was another matter. It was showing clear signs of infection. He had bandaged the boy up the best he can under the circumstances. A filthy prison cell was no place for a patient, but it will have to do.
Tetsu tugged at his sleeve as he tidied up his kit.
Tetsu: Susumu... will he live?
Yamazaki: I dunno. It's all up to the gods now. I can only do so much.
Infection was a real danger, the boy was starting to show the first signs of wound-fever. Maybe gangrene will set in, maybe the body will fight off the infection... Even as a doctor-in-training, Yamazaki has no real answers for Puppy-kun.
((Medical facts of that era: No penicillin, no antibotics. If you don't die from the wound itself, you still run a high risk of dying from infection.))

When Yamazaki was finished, the gaurd let the boy go, walking back over to the door. Suzu still had a shadow covering his eyes, even after all this time. But, he was breathing uneven and heavily. He was leaning his back against the wall again, and he clenched his fists so tight, that his hands would prun red becuase his arm was really starting to feel like it was burning. Minutes passed by...feeling like hours...the seconds felt like decades...and still, the pain raged on through his viens. Still, for some reason, Szu refused to fall unconious and have the pain low a bit with the rest.
After a few more seconds, covered by his bangs, the boy's eyes suddenly widend as he felt the wound jolt everynow and then. He raised his knees up close to his chest, his face burried in them slightly, with his forhead rested on his knees as he tried his best not to yell in agony.
Meanwhile-
Shin and Heisuke still watched Susumu even if it did seem to take forever. When he was done, Shinpachi's shoulder's drooped, and sighed with slight despair. He turned around, not really wanting to see someone, even if it was prisnor, suffer when so young. He looked to the side as he slightly tugged his friend's sleeve. who was still faced forward.
Heisuke looked down at Shin with confusion. " C'mon, we should go, maybe Ayu is makin' some food.." Said the short man as he began to walk off. Heisuke just blinked once, looking back at the kid, then at his friend, following.
