She blinked a couple of times...she couldn't believe she acted so irrationaly.
Ayu:...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...I'm not feelin' so hot...
She saw that he was givin' her a helpin' hand to get out. She held up her hand to get the aid. She stepped out slowly...the bath was kind of slippery...cuz she wasn't finish cleanin' the bath. She slipped...landin' on his arms.
Ayu:*blushin of the embarrasin' moment an' the way she acted a while a go*....sorry...*givin' him a smile*...I didn't mean to act in such manners. I don't know what came over me...I...I thought I was under attack...I'm very sorry....

Slightly surprised by the woman's actions, he blinked once, then just smiled a comforting smile.
Souji: Miss Ayu, don't worry about it. You had a long day...it's to be expected. You should really rest for now, it'll make you feel better.

He was right, it was a long day. She need to rest. Her wound is not gonna get well over the night. She needs to rest.
Ayu: But the bath...is not clean yet. Plz the girls went to their homes already. They don't live here with me...I'm the only one here.*she didn't notice at first but they were a couple of inches away from each other's face. she slightly blushed an' pushed her self away. Makin' feel a li'dizzy.*
She recover her strength for a bit, but it wasn't enough...she landed on her knees. The world was spinnin', she lost her sense of direction. She looked at the man..infront of her.
Ayu: I know I shouldn't ask you this..an' is not the time...but ur not curious...why I work for the shinsengumi...or did Hijikata-dono told already?

With surprised eyes, Souji too kneeled down next to Ayu, slightly shocked.
Souji: Y-you work for us? No...
Souji started to continue as his words got softer.
Souji: Mr. Hijikata told me nothing of this...
Before getting too much into the subject, he looked back up at her, smiling kindly again.
Souji: Don't wory about the bath----I'll clean it. For now, you just get some rest, or you'll pass out again, and we don't want that

She couldn't believe it...he would finish for her...she couldn't an' she won't allow him. She stood up way to fast, that her head started to spin once again...
Ayu: *lookin' at him with stern face* No Sir! Ur my guest...plus is not proper for u to do it. Just leave it, I'll tell one of the girls to clean it up for me tomorrow in the mornin' before I open the Inn....plus I need to write a report to Hijikata...this is not the 1st or the last fight on this district.
She looked at him an' smile assurin' him that it was alright he doesn't need to do such things.
Ayu: Look Okita...just go to ur room an' rest...forget what happen today...there's nothin' more to do...just go to sleep...an' don't worry, I'll answer any question u have, whenever the time comes...but right now...I need to go clean this wound...oh wait..do u know how to stich a wound? if u do would u help me?

He looked up at her for a few seconds, soulessly and with dense eyes, until he returned to his normal, kind self and smiled, standing all the way up.
Souji: I've done it a couple times before, well, during combat. Plus, Mr. Matsumoto showed me sort of

Ayu: is something wrong? is anythi' bothering you?....U seem so much in thouhgt...well, anyways...0.o....umn..yeah, well if u know a li'bit then thats fine...I come from a family of doctors...I just need assistance.
He helped her get up...once again. He help her as her support. She guided him to her room. It was the very last one on the second floor. As she open her door. She had a very neat place. with a shinobi sword hangin' from the wall an' a couple of kunai on the floor. She was sharpin' them before the whole incident happen.
Ayu: sorry for the mess...I guess I should of clean it...^^; umn...hehaha...oh anyways, just sit there I'm goin' to get my medicine box.
She walked towards her closet an' she took out a medium size box. She heaved it...an' dropped it on the floor.
Ayu: ^^;....*phew*....heavy....
She walk with it to where Okita was sittin'. She prepare a few needles, bandages, an' oilment too.
Ayu: I'll be back...I'll go get hot water.
A few moments later she was back in her room. Okita lookin' at the kunai...he had one on his hand he was 'bout to touch the edge of it...
Ayu: O.O...Okita!!! Drop it! It has poison!
The man got startled an' he dropped it as soon as he heard her.
Ayu: ^^ sorry, I didn't mean to scare u but a cut or a simple scratch with those an' ur dead in a couple of minutes....oh, I brought the water. I guess is time for my pain to start.
She set the bowl of hot water near him. She soaked a couple of cloths so they could u them to clean the utinsils an' their hands. She then loosen her yukata...she let it drop down to her waist. (of course she had wrappin' coverin' her.) She had a couple of scars over her body. They were reminders of her past deeds.
Ayu:...anytime ur ready...to start....umn...Okita..*she snapped her fingers at him*...What's the matter, never seen a woman like this...*lookin' at him playfully an' smilin' at him...at how he was actin'*...yep, what Hijikata says 'bout you...is pretty much right...demon with the heart of a child....hehehe...

The man blinked once dumbfoundedly at first, then he just smiled, his cheeks getting a childish pink color. (=^-^=)
Souji: Well, in some ways, I suppose you could say that's true...
He looked at her wounded arm, he still smiled, but then he became alittle more serious, almost normal, you could say.
Souji: Okay, I'm ready. First, it needs to get completely clean before anything...
Noticing that she still had the bandages on her arm, he lightly and gently held her arm with one hand, and unwrapped then with the other. Then, when that was done, he took a small, spare cloth, and got just alittle bit hot water on it, the carefully started to clean the wound, when the fabric touched her wound, it made Ayu flinch slightly. Souji looked back up at her, still slightly smiling.
Souji: Sorry...
Said Souji kinda awkwardly.
((I'm not really sure if that was the right story line or what, but I did my best...^^;; heh,heh...))

He worked gently but the hotness of the clothes were stingin' her a bit. She flinch a couple of times. She wanted to yell, scream...but she didn't want to make a rackus.
Ayu: T__T......umn...Okita....ouch!? * she covered he mouth as fast as she could*....sorry....
Okita saw her reaction...he quickly grabed one of the needles an' started to stitch her up. If he doesn't do it fast...the procedure could an' would be painful to his patience. She turned her head to the side, not wantin' to see the needles. She never was fond of needles. Why? who know.
He was quick with his hands. He was indeed very skillful. It took 10 minutes to finish. Of course she couldn't keep her screams in. She yelled here in there, she was cryin' as he was finishin'. She couldn't bare the pulsatin' sensation she was gettin' from her left arm.
Ayu: *fixin' her yukata*...T-thank...*gaspin' for air an' at the same time cleanin' her tears*...Y-you...

Souji looked up at her with concern and pity as he finished washin' his hands.
Souji: It's no problem...I am sorry though that you had to go thru that pain, but it was for the best...
He narrowed his eyes with suspicioun, and they looked dense and deep in thought, like they did before, tho, he spoke as his thoughts traced thru his mind.
Souji: Miss Ayu, you sure you'll be alright?

( Oi Rika-san, I love ur Avi! I think is really cute! ^__^! )
She was just glad that he was finish. She thought that she was goin' to die. C'mon she had wounds before an' probably bigger ones than this. But this one really hurted. I guess her natural pain killers aren't workin' properly.
She nodded to Okita that she was goin' to be fine. But she kind of got startle by his face expression. Call it a woman's intuation but his aura was different... Almost demonic. His narrowed eyes, his deep change tone of voice, an' he sounded suspicious.
Ayu: Okita-sama, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, the pain will stay but I'm sure its goin' to fade away pretty soon. *she narrowed her eyes* Soujiro Okita, Captain to the 1st unit, answer me this an' no but or tomorrow cr*p. Why are so suspicious, I understand that ur surprised 'bout my status in the Shinsengumi, but why do u look at me suspicious like...did I do somethin' wrong? Do I remind u of someone precious on ur past?...please answer me...I can't command u but atleast do me the honor to tell me. Ever since u set a foot here...I'm not complainin' bout the incident...which by the way...I kind of scr*w it up...that's not the point...oh never mind...I'm lettin' my emotions get on the way....just forget what I just said, Sir, I stepped a li'too far from my status, for disrespectin' you like this. Please if u see Hijikata-dono , tell him that I have disrespected u an' I deserve a punishment....for gettin' into ur business an' ur private life. An' if u don't mind please, can I be alone on my room....Thank you. *bowin' down, since she's sittin' on the floor she bowed 'til her forehead touched it*
The next mornin' was buzzlin' with busy bees at the Inn, the girls came to the Inn pretty early. Food was being cook, the place was being clean, the hotspring was spotless. One of the girls came up stairs an' knocked on Okita's room.
Nami: Umn....Good Mornin' Sir, the food is ready, the bath is hot, an' the day is beautiful. Oh an' I have ur clothin' washed an' clean as well. I'll leave it here infront of your door. Umn...by the way, not to be noisy but, have u seen Ayu-san...she's not in her room.
=HQ, Hijikata's Office, time around noon=
Hijikata was smokin' an' listenin' to the report that Susumu was givin' him. He was finish in 30 minutes. Hijikata like his reports very detailed. As soon as Susumu left. A figure came in so fast that it made a gentle breeze...the smell it gave was water lilys...
Hijikata lookin' at the report that Susumu gave him: So, what do u bring me this time Ayumu? *Lookin' at her..* Please take off your head cover.
Ayu: *doin' as she was told*...Yes Sir...before I start...I would like to~~
Hijikata stared at her in amazement: Ayu was have u been doin'?...u look Pale.
Ayu: Yes, I know, I had a run in with some ronins...near my Inn.
Hijikata: So did u get wounded or somethin'? After our meetin' today, I want u to go to Matsumoto-san. He'll help u recover your strength...I can't have one of my best spies down...U & Yamazaki r the best ones I got...but anyways, please continued.
She took an' hour to explain everythin'. 'bout the incident, the trades being made a couple of blocks away from her Inn, an' how Okita was there.
Hijikata: *-__-;...Okita...why, that wasn't his area...why did he go there. *very mad now*
Ayu: Oh Sir, plz don't punish him he help me...remember my report...
Hijikata: an' that's why ur injured...*slamin' his fist on his table*
Ayu: *startled...I'm sorry Okita, I believe I got u in trouble...^^;*....Hijikata-dono, he helped me...I was just careless that's all....
Hijikata just looked at her, it seems that the rumors are true, he is a demon: U can go now.
Ayu: Yes Sir...I'll be back in a couple of wks for the next report. *bowin' down, then she stood up an' put her cover again. an' disappeared before he could blink.
Hijikata: Oh...Souji....why did u get in the way this time...*sigh*...

Souji heard the girl outside, he stood, he was already awake, he was acting very stern like he was last night, deep in thought as usual. He was smiling just as he was about to slid open the door, but just as his hand was about to reach out to do so, he stopped, his eyes going slightly wide, then back to the suspicious self. He narrowed his eyes calmly. Then, he slid open the door, looking at the girl.
Souji: She's not here? Well, then, I haven't seen her...
As he said that, he gently took his uniform from the girl, since it was still in her hands, and turned to go back in his room to change, but then he stopped, facing her slightly.
Souji: I'll be going out, thank-you for everything.
With that, he went back into his room to change. 10 minutes passed by since he had so much to put on. Then, he started with the finishing touches. He put on his gloves, and his headband, since it was close to patrol time for him, and he put his hair up in a high pony tail. When he was done, he grabbed his sword, and put it thru his belt loop. (Thru their pants...I have no idea, but you know what I mean...^^;
He exited his room, leaving it clean (Heh,heh) and went out into the streets of Kyoto. He was walking thru the crowds, though, many ppl were avoiding him becuase of his uniform, since they were all afraid. Souji was just not minding as he still looked calm, and deep in thought. Slowly heading his way torward his quarters, tho, before he could...
Man: Hey--! It's that guy! It's Okita, we found him!!
Yelled a ronin from behind. Souji turned around, his expression not changing as he saw many men behind the one that just yelled. Obviously, it was reanforcments from last night, they wanted revenge. The crows panicked from all the swords that the men drew (Not including Okita) and backed away, leaving a large circle around the men, and Souji.
Man: Heh, prepare to die, Okita!
Souji just narrowed his eyes, wind blowing his bangs gently.
Souji: I suggest you all put your swords down before anyone gets hurt. If you refuse to do so, I'll have to arrest you.
Though the men did not listen, the big one who was talking just smirked and charged at Okita. Souji, still not moving.
(Heh, thanks for the compliment =^^=)

Nami: He left without payin'...oh gosh darnit! What will I say to Ayu-san whenever she returns...oh yeah...heads will be flyin' today.
The Inn was doin't pretty good today. There was many customers wantin' to eat, stay, or just clean up. The day was beautiful indeed...
Shinpachi was mumblin' to him self: Why do I have to go on patrol right now...its not my time...plus where in all hades is Soujiro...oh his goin' to pay for this....I bet his in a brothel...eeww....*shivers*...they're pretty but...c'mon okita...
He was goin' out already gettin' his unit ready. As he an' his unit were walkin' towards the gate to enter the busy streets of kyoto he saw a quarrel from a far...He order his unit to go see whats happenin'.
The crowd was thickenin'. But they saw that more Shinsengumi members where comin' this way so they decided to leave. Its best not to mess with them. One of Shinpachi's member saw that it was Okita in the center of this. As he hurried to tell his captain...the fight inside that circle started.
2 Unit member: Sir! Its Capt. Soujiro...he's in danger...*gaspin' for air* Shinpachi: Nani?! Really, great the man I'm lookin' for...
They both ran towards the fight...Soujiro had a big advantage for his lean body compare to the bulky dude. Shinpachi order his unit to push away the other ronin. But it wasn't goin' to be easy...the ronin weren't goin' to go that easily.
So they fight started...
Blood shed... Sweat.... Swords....
After the fight the remainin' ronin took some of their still alive fallen comrades...seein' around the street looked like a painters room...with the beautiful crimson colour coverin' the walls, the streets an' our faces.
Shinpachi: O-o-kita...*gaspin' for air*...Hijik-a-ta..is lookin' for u an'...an'...he doesn't look happy...
=HQ's roof=
From far away...she saw the quarrel goin' infront of the dojo...she was goin' to go help but...it wasn't her duty... She hurried down once again...to go report the incident to Hijikata.
=Hijikata's Office=
Ayu: Sir, there was a quarrel infront of the dojo. Hijikata: What?! *gettin' up* Ayu: Sir, don't worry, it was takin' care of by Nagakura an' Okita...an'~~*got interrupted by him* Hijikata: *-_-; 'til now he show's his face... Ayu: Please sir...don't do somethin' irrational before hearin' the other side...^^; Hijikata:.....
Before he could speak once again...his door open...Okita stepped inside...still wearin' his uniform stained with blood. He had to report to Hijikata as soon as possible...that's what Shinpachi said.
Ayu:*gasped*.... Hijikata: 'bout time u showed up...so what's goin?

Okita himself was breathing slightly hard, but you could barely tell. His eyes were demonish in a way, but not as bad as he was in battle. He bowed quickly and slightly as he looked back up at his v-commander.
Okita: Mr. Hijikata, Please forgive me,...but--!
As Okita was about to continue, he just noticed Ayu sittin' there and his eyes went slightly wide, but he just shook his head slightly, turning back to his serious self.
Okita: Well, like I was saying, Recently, some Choshu have been wandering around Shimabara, and planned an ambush on me, they didn't prevail, but today, more came, but Mr. Nagakura assissted me with them, succesfully. We had no choice but to fight them...
Okita looked down, knowing that in some way, he had disobeyed Hijikata's orders.
Okita: Sir, I will take any reasonable punishment you have in mind.

Hijikata wasn't a happy go lucky person right at this moment. He wanted to murder his most trusted Capt. right there an' then! But it was way to much...he knows that Okita would somehow win this bout. He noticed how his eyes went wide at the site of the shinobi...
Hijikata: Take a sit Okita we have a lot to talk 'bout...got it! *then he turned his stare towards Ayu*...U can leave now...come back in 3 days. Tell me everythin' u can get out of that Inn near yours...
Ayu: *coverin' her face* Yes Sir. I shall be back in 3 days, with the information request.
She stood up an turned towards the door, she didn't want to meet Okita's eyes so she kept her stern face without any emotion. He eyes where not of the happy Ayu but the eyes of an assasin. She left with the most quietest way possible. Leavin' not trace behind whatsoever.
Hijikata just lit up his favorite pipe an' took in a couple of puffs. Then he rubbed his tempals, then he turned towards Okita.
Hijikata: Ok, Ok...I'm not goin' to go over board with this...this was a request of Ayumu...So for once I'll let it pass...no words 'bout this Okita around the dojo, got it. Just give me the report right now...an' the reasons why u where on that district...an' why u didn't report to me yesterday....*now he was jokin' to clear the heavy silence that it was takin' over*...where u lookin' for a broad to spent the night?....we do have a favorite place to go...or u could of just gone an' ask Ayu-san...hahaha...huh?....hahahaMwhahhaha...Oh Okita u should see ur face...its priceless...oh god i'm cryin' tears....or is it that u were eyein' her from a long time ago an' I didn't know...hehehehahhahaha......C'mon answer me....
Hijikata was takin' way too much advantage of the situation..he may have humor but sometimes he would take it to an extreme...no wander his Haiku reeks...
