"Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know that I was crying so loudly." she apologized quickly as she wiped her tears away with her rosy sleeve.

"It's ok. But if I may say so, you're much to pretty to be so sad."

The girl gasped as she smiled involuntary, giggling.

"See, that's better!" he laughed, the girl joining him.

"My name is Aimi Kitamura.. And who are you, my mysterious bringer of joy?"

She saw him hesitate as he turned his serene and happy face from hers, looking out into the setting sun.

"I am Souji Okita." he said happily as he smiled, closing his eyes softly.

Her eyes widened as she smiled, Souji meeting her expression with one of question.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My friend Hotaru told me about you."

"Oh, I hope it was good what she said of me." he said, smirking down at her as they nodded at a couple who passed them. Aimi blushed again, something Souji noticed, finding it endearing.

"Oh, everything was...nice she told me." she said as she giggled softly.

"She told me you were cute, but..."

Aimi covered her mouth with her hands as she gasped, Souji laughing loudly.

"Oh, I am so sorry!"

"It's no big deal, Aimi. Really."

He snickered, glancing at her. "You're just honest. No one can fault you for that. Besides," he finshied."I think you're kinda cute too."Aimi found herself lost in his eyes as they stared at one another,both not wanting to speak.

Not wanting to ruin the moment.

"He's so cute," she thought as she tore her gaze from his, looking down at the the little sliver fish that swam in the water under the bridge. Souji smiled as he looked around, noticing how dark it had gotten.

"Well, Miss Aimi, it's getting late. Can I walk you home?" He offered as he held out his shoulder, Aimi smiling at him.

"Sure," she said softly, taking his arm.

"Is that HIM?" asked Sano incredulously as he, Shinpachi, Todo and Tetsu spied on Souji from behind a building, Tetsu sighing.

How'd he get tied up in this mess?

"Of course, dork!" Shinpachi snapped as he smiled sneakily, rolling his eyes at him.

"Dang, and I always thought that he and Mr. Hijikata were-" Todo started, Shinpachi and Sano shushing him as Tetsu watched them.

Dorks.

"You guys are wrong for spying!" he said harshly, the others snickering.

"Well, if Okita can talk to women, then so can we!" exclaimed Sano excitedly.

"Huh!" Tetsu yelled as Shinpachi smiled happily.

"You know what this means!"Todo said loudly, Tetsu turning from the Three Stooges, watching Souji walk away, the girl on his arm. They'd been watching him, the group dragging Tetsu along with them. They were so annoying.

And yet...

Tetsu turned back to see the group smiling at him, groaning.

"But can puppy boy come?" Sano asked Tetsu's eyebrows knitting together with anger.

"Go where? AND STOP CALLING ME THAT!" he yelled, Todo grabbing him, hugging him closely.

"Awwwww! He's angry! He's so cute!"

"We're going to Shimbabra!" exclaimed Shinpachi as they took off behind Souji, the three jokers laughing as Tetsu sighed.

"So, you like brown sugar candy too?" Aimi asked as they walked, Souji pulling out a handful of small marble like brown candies, smiling happily.

"I love all sweets. I brought some to give to the children at the temple when I pass." he said, Aimi smiling softly. "Would you like some?"

"Oh thanks!" she said as they passed a group of men, reaching out to take one from him. As she reached for it, the men stepped rudely in front of them, knocking the candies out of his hand.

"Oh!" she yelled as the men sneered, Souji staring at them, his eyes now serious, his serene face now scowling.

"Souji Okita!" You Shinsengumi dog! How dare you show your face around here!" A tall, blond man yelled, turning his gaze on Aimi as Souji stared at him, Aimi shrinking back from the man's glare. Her eyes darted from him to Souji, shocked.

"Shin-Shinsengumi?"

"I'll ask you not to address me in that way, sir." Souji said breezily, now holding Aimi's hand.

"I didn't know you were into girl's now, Okita." the man said smugly, as one of the man's friends reached out for Aimi .In a movement too swift for her to notice Souji slapped the man's hand away, before it could even reach her, still holding her hand.

She didn't even feel him move.

The man grunted madly, glaring at them.

"You just sealed your fate, Okita!" he yelled as he lunged for them, Aimi backing into Souji's back for protection.

They were boxed in.

There was no way them could escape.

Or survive.
