Chapter 4
Saito's POV
I just sat in the room emotionlessly, so no one will notice my surprise of this sudden event. The whole Shinsengumi was going and it's a hot springs resort! 'Is Kondou-san crazy? I can't go, people will find out!' I was in an inner turmoil until I heard everyone start cheering loudly. I guess I have no choice. Everyone dispersed from the meeting hall to prepare and I stood up to leave too. This is going to be a long trip.
~The next day~
We finally arrived at Yama Onsen after half a day of walking. Everyone was literally running to the door to get settled and hit the hot springs. We were sharing rooms and I, lucky or not, got roomed with Okita.
"Aahh~ so tired. I can't wait to hit the hot springs!" he smiled happily.
"Well, have fun. I'm not going." I stated my point.
"Why not – oh, right. You can wait until everyone else leave."
"No. That will take too long."
"Fine." He grabbed his towel and clothes and we left to the hot springs.
Everyone met up at the entrance and they all went in except me. Heisuke and Sano stayed back. I looked at them bored and they stared back curiously.
I twitched. "What?" I glared, making the two flinch.
"A-Aren't you going in, Saito-san?" Heisuke asked, looking ready to bolt.
"No." was my short reply.
"Why not?" Sano asked.
"Nothing you need to know." I turned to leave, but Sano grabbed my arm, "What?"
He paled a bit at my glare and let go of my arm, "Umm… never mind! Let's go Heisuke!" he grabbed Heisuke and ran into the men's change room. I decided to walk around the hot spring resort.
Sano's POV
I was so sure he was going to pull his katana out at me! His behavior is suspicious… then, an idea came into my mind.
"Hey, Heisuke, you up for some snooping?" I asked with a smirk.
"Eh? Why meeee?" he whined, "Can we do that after we soak?" I looked at him and thought about the idea for a bit, "Good idea! Let's go!"
Okita's POV
"Aaah~" I sighed, relaxing into the hot springs. It was definitely a good change in environment. I wonder where Saito went? Hijikata came up to me and sat down.
"Where's Saito?" he asked in a monotone voice.
"He said he's going for a walk first and will come later maybe." I replied. He nodded, accepting my explanation and relaxed. There's going to be a festival tonight and I think Kondou-san would make us all go together. The town's festival activities are said to be very lively and fun. I wish I could take Chidori here to enjoy the sights and festivities. I soaked for another few minutes and got out.
After getting dressed, I walked back to my room to see Chizuru and Saito talking about something. They were arguing about something until they noticed my presence in the room. Chizuru's eyes brightened up when she saw me.
"Okita-san! Please help me with something!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me over to them.
"H-Hey whey do you need his opinion?" Saito asked with a blush on her face. After I found out Saito was a girl, I started to notices the soft features of her face. The long eyelashes that curls up naturally… "Okita-san!" you listening?" Chizuru huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Ahaha… sorry. What did you say again?" I focused my attention on her.
"I was asking you to persuade Saito-san to wear this kimono to the festival tonight! It will look so pretty on her!" She literally squealed.
I nodded and went to look at the kimono Chizuru had laid out for Saito. It was a beautiful deep purple summer kimono accentuated with patterns of sakura petals. I wonder how she would look like wearing this?
"…Um…" Saito was blushing even more when I looked up to see her face.
"!" I covered my mouth, "Uh… did I say that out loud?" Chizuru nodded. I can't believe I just said that!
"Anyways, since Okita-san wants to see it you should wear it, Saito-san! Please?"
Saito melted at Chizuru's puppy dog eyes and sighed, "Fine…"
"Yay! Ok now out you go, Okita-san." Chizuru pushed me out grinning all the way.
I waited by the door and just started to ponder some things. 'Saito in a kimono… I wonder how Chidori would look wearing one. She'd be beautiful for sure and we could go to festivals together too…' My trail of thought was brought to a stop when I heard the door open.
"You can come in now, Okita-san!" Chizuru said in a singsong voice.
I walked into the room and the sight of Saito made me freeze mid-step. She looked elegant in the deep purple kimono. "Wow… beautiful…" I murmured and thought, 'Chidori…? No, it can't be… can it?' Shaking the thoughts out of my head I walked up to her, "Why don't you keep that on and come to the festival with us?"
Saito's face turned even redder than from his earlier comments, "Eh?"
