It was peaceful that evening in Kyoto, possibly due to the frigid weather that arrived earlier that day. Though some people would also say, it was merely due to the existing presence of the men patrolling that night. These men were The Wolves of Mibu, or also known as The Shinsengumi. They were the protectors of this radiant city, but were more notorious as murderous ronin. The entirety of the Shinsengumi realized how jaded most people were, but still they repeatedly fought for them.
Though the Captains that were patrolling that night would rather be spending their time at a certain geisha establishment, that didn't stop them from conversing about it. They were talking about The Shimabara, the greatest geisha service in the red-light district. The civilians who were out that evening could overhear the Captains discussion. Some of them mumbled insults; others looked away or hid, while a few just glared. The two Wolves either chose to ignore the reactions, or were honestly too into their conversation to notice.
"Come on Sano! Just tell me your secret with the geishas. I know there is something that you haven't told me. Otherwise, the women would come to me. I mean, have you seen my muscles? So, there is some trick you're doing," said the Second Division Captain, Nagakura Shinpachi.
"Shin, I've already told you, I do NOT have a special trick. I just talk to them, and am myself. Just be yourself Shinpachi: toned, handsome, funny," responded the Tenth Division Captain, Harada Sanosuke.
Nagakura scoffed at Harada then said, "Toned? That's all you have to say about this body? It's like Kami himself crafted my wondrous muscles." Just as he had mentioned his muscles, Nagakura was now flexing them, while posing.
Harada didn't utter a word, and let Nagakura continue posing for a bit longer. Then without hesitation, Harada clocked Nagakura on the back of his head. "Stop posing already, I understand ok? How about this, we go to Shimabara soon, and test this theory of yours. If you spot this "trick" that I'm doing, I'll pay for the entire night. If you are not able to locate anything, you have to give Heisuke your fish for a week."
Nagakura's mouth was instantly agape and he froze in the street. Noticing that the patrol team had left him behind, Nagakura ran to catch-up. Harada chuckled a bit at Nagakura's shocked reaction, and waited patiently for a response. Meanwhile, Nagakura was trying to decide what he should do about the deal. He began to rub his head then hissed a bit when he felt a lump beginning to protrude. Nagakura turned and glared at Harada with a fury behind his blue eyes.
"You've got a deal Sano! I hope you know that I will win and you'll be paying for a lot that night,"stated Nagakura as he grinned. Harada grinned right back then retorted, "Or, you'll lose and have to give Heisuke all your precious fish for a week. I know that tears you up inside Shinpachi." Both men were so enveloped in their banter; they didn't even notice that they had arrived at Headquarters.
Thank you so much for reading my first chapter!
I will be adding more quickly so don't worry about waiting too long.
Also, please leave me a review, whether it's positive or something I can work on.
