BLURRED KALEIDOSCOPE
CHAPTER 6: NIGHTMARE
"All samurai are the same..."
"Do you want to kill us?"
"..."
"Just kill us..."
"We can't stand this pain any longer..."
"..."
"Kill us..."
"...please."
Saito's eyes sprang open. In a rapid and rough movement, he got up from the bed and needed several seconds to realize that he was still in his own room. Exhaustion from the mission that had drifted him to peaceful sleep before had gone, replaced with mixture of emotions which people wouldn't expect Saito Hajime could feel.
"Hajime-san?"
Hadn't fully sober yet, now another heart attack hit Saito mercilessly as Chizuru called his name and pushed herself up. The young girl's sleepy eyes blinked in innocent manner while looking at her husband, who didn't seem like his usual self at the moment. Saito was sweating heavily, trembling as he slowly turned his azure irises on Chizuru—even those eyes wasn't as penetrating as usual.
"...Did I...disturb your sleep?" Saito asked in a hoarse voice, his chest heaving roughly as though the whole air was taken away from his lungs. Cold sweat drenched his thin white sleeping yukata, revealing the perfect contour of his muscles.
Chizuru shook her head, "No...Don't worry about that. By the way, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
It was a shame for the Shinsengumi captain to admit that he did have a nightmare. However, it was not a common one—something like being chased by a rasetsu or whatever. There was no way such thing could make Saito even shiver. Instead, it was...
"I'm alright." Saito stated, attempting to look tough, yet his throat just produced a weak voice. "Maybe I'm just tired..."
Saito was about to lie down back, but this time, he refused to face Chizuru. He was taking a sleeping position where his back would face her like in their first time of marriage life. But before his still shaking back touched the futon, a sudden pair of hands had pulled his body back to sitting position and gave him a warm embrace.
"What are you—?!" Saito's eyes widened in surprise as Chizuru circled her hands around his figure tightly. Such thing was unpredictable, and who on earth dared to embrace the fearsome Saito Hajime? Even if she was his wife?
Chizuru glanced up at him in concern. The young male's violet locks fell to her face, dripping off some pearls of sweat. Yet they looked like tears at the same time. Something wasn't right.
Smiling slightly, Chizuru said, "My mother used to hug me whenever I had a nightmare...and it worked like charm." As she remembered the good old times, she continued, "That's why, you don't need to feel ashamed to admit it. It's normal and I will just hold you like this if you're feeling afraid."
"I never feel afraid." Saito spoke coldly, struggling a bit to release himself but Chizuru didn't want to free him. "I only woke up in the midnight. You don't need to sweat the small stuff. I just need to sleep again then I will feel better."
Expected. Someone like Saito would say such words. But Chizuru refused to be small-minded again. Now she had known Saito for a longer time, and found a fact that he wasn't as heartless as she thought before, the maiden somehow knew that her spouse had a hidden warm side within.
"Then..." Chizuru's fingertips lingered on Saito's shoulder blades, giving him a calming touch. "I will hold you like this until you fall asleep."
"Who do you think you—"
"I'm your wife. And it's wife's duty to calm her husband down when he's afraid after having a nightmare."
"...How many times should I tell you that I'm not scared? And don't use the word 'duty' so easily. It's more serious than—"
"Hajime-san..." Chizuru murmured as she placed her head on Saito's well-toned chest and listened to his fast, unsteady heartbeat. "Just let me do it. You will feel better. I promise."
After some moments, Saito gave up. He let Chizuru embrace him for a little longer and treat him like a kid. It was a good thing that she didn't do any additional silly stuff like singing a lullaby for him. Other than that, somehow Saito knew that his wife was remembering her mother as she did this.
Speaking of which, how did it feel to have a kind mother? Even as a young boy, he was already rejected by his family due to his left-handedness. And not too long after he was exiled from the village, he heard his parents had passed away. The cause? Maybe they were being killed, or because of some disease. He didn't know, and he didn't want to know since the man himself didn't feel like having parents to begin with.
However this time, a young woman who had been his wife for just a month gave him the first embrace he ever felt in his life. And although Saito hated to admit it...yes, it gave a peaceful, serene sensation.
This maiden...she was just too positive, cheerful, and innocent, even after something or someone took her happiness away in such a cruel way.
"Chizuru..." Unconsciously, Saito buried his face in Chizuru's chesnut hair which had the aroma of fresh-bloomed cherry blossoms. But as he secretly enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere, Chizuru's arms fell to the side all of a sudden before he voiced out any other words.
Widening his eyes in great shock, Saito caught the girl's frail form, "Chizuru!" There was no response, but after some seconds that seemed like eternity, Saito realized that Chizuru had accidentally fallen asleep while holding his body.
Really, this girl kept giving him a headache. Just a few minutes before, she said that she would wait until he fell asleep first...But now, she threw another heart attack at him, made him think that something bad had occured again...
Gently, Saito laid Chizuru's body down onto the bed. As he looked at her angelic sleeping face, he knew that he almost lost himself because of that nightmare...Oh, didn't he say that it wasn't a nightmare? And although Chizuru insisted that it was, Saito didn't tell a lie actually...
...Because it was not a mere dream. It was an old memory, which really happened before. A reality that Saito wanted to forget as he slowly took a sleeping position beside Chizuru, and turned his back on her as if he didn't have a courage to face his own wife.
She was just too pure. She forgave him easily even though he had scared her so much. She attempted to care about him after all the bad things he had done. She wanted to be a good wife, a spouse for lifetime to a cold man who didn't even care about her existence before.
That was why, she didn't need to know about it, the fact that she had guessed wrongly...What made Saito acting weird before was not fear. Ah, how could you expect the top-ranked samurai named Saito Hajime quivering in fear? It was absolutely not fear. Perhaps it was something else...What was it called again?
Oh, guilt.
"The Satcho has tried our patience again!"
Emergency meeting right after breakfast was not a pleasant thing. But lately, it had been Shinsengumi's morning routine. It looked like the rivalry between Aizu, the Shogunate side and Satcho, the supporters of Emperor was getting worse in every second.
Last night, Heisuke's division captured some Satcho samurai who were making a plan to kill the Shogun directly. Crazy idea, yes, but sadly it was not impossible. It was great that the most talented spy of Shinsengumi, Yamazaki, managed to eavesdrop their dirty plan and tell the Shinsengumi executives before anything became too late.
Hijikata clenched his fist in anger, "They've gone too far...I always thought they would prefer to fight us first as honorable samurai. I never expected they're just a bunch of cowards who's seeking for alternative instant way."
"Maybe they're just bored with this never-ending war, Hijikata-san," Heisuke retorted seriously as the captain who was in charge in this case. "After all, they are longing to see the Emperor as this country's single ruler. And with us standing in their way, probably Satcho has been tired and finally decided to quicken their steps, even though it means using stupid way as well."
"Stupid...and careless," Hijikata stood up and voiced out his anger. "They have underestimated us! Did they think it's an easy matter to kill the Shogun?! Did they know who the elite force, Shinsengumi is?!"
Silence filled the room, and Chizuru felt her body shiver as she placed the tea cups in front of the captains. If she could choose, she would rather not listen to this conversation. In her heart, she had silently wished to exit the room after serving the tea.
"Heisuke," Hijikata broke the uncomfortable silence. "Take care of those bastards."
Like he was choked by his own spit, the youngest captain of Shinsengumi widened his eyes in disagreement, "Eh? By 'take care', you mean 'it'?! They're still in the warehouse, aren't they? No way! I don't want to witness such scary transformation!"
"Heisuke!" Harada grabbed Heisuke's long ponytail and covered his mouth. At first the others didn't understand, they just thought maybe Harada was angry because Heisuke talked like a loser, yet after some moments they knew it wasn't the case as Harada glanced at the trembling Chizuru in concern.
Rasetsu. It was a nightmare for Chizuru. Yet by Heisuke's words, she knew that Hijikata wanted those captured men to be turned into rasetsu. She liked the Shinsengumi's men, but she hated this dark secret so much.
"Chizuru..." A familiar flat voice brought her back from the trance. "You may leave now."
Saito didn't need to ask her to do so. She gave a quick bow to the captains and stepped out of the meeting room. But before she closed the door, Chizuru remembered something and smiled between the gap, "Hajime-san, don't push yourself too hard today, okay?"
With those words, the door was closed. Trying to ignore Okita who was starting to dig any hot news, or Kondou and Inoue who glanced at each other while chuckling suspiciously, Saito stood up and turned his eyes at Hijikata, "Vice-Commander, if Heisuke doesn't want it. Let me be the one who takes care of this matter."
"Yeah, of course," Okita smirked teasingly. "We have this 'Hajime-san' who's always there to take the dirtiest work."
Gazing at his most loyal subordinate, Hijikata let out a sigh, "Saito...I always give nasty jobs to you."
"That's alright...I will do anything for Shinsengumi's sake," Saito declared in determination and bowed politely to the Vice-Commander. After that, he walked out of the room, ready to take care of Shinsengumi's secret mission.
As the door slowly slid shut, Shinpachi muttered quietly, "That Saito...I can't tell what's on his mind. He should've spent more time with Chizuru-chan rather than taking care of something like this forever."
"Ah, but it looks like their relationship is getting better!" Heisuke exclaimed in enthusiasm. "Yesterday I saw Chizuru washing Hajime-kun's clothes, which never happened before!"
"Shut up Heisuke, it's your fault that Saito must take care of your duty."
"Sano-san! If you were me, would you gladly go to that mad place?!"
"I..."
Harada couldn't say anything to object. That particular warehouse was not only a scary place where living people were treated like experimental animals. It was not a big case if they were the captured enemies...but many friends-turned-into-traitors had died there as well while losing their sanity. Now Sannan had gone, only one person who was brave enough to go there without being overwhelmed in emotions. Even the strict Hijikata who made the Shinsengumi rules could just curse his hidden weakness within.
The willowy wind played with his hair, somehow wanted to chase away the lavender curtain which hiding his handsome face beneath. One by one, the flower petal fell onto his figure graciously and let the spring nature become a perfect backdrop. If there were a painter passing by, he would rejoice and eternalize that rare, beautiful moment into a masterpiece.
However, now he was walking towards a place which looked like the hell on earth. His fingertips found their place on the thick wooden door—it was not locked, meaning there was another person in there already.
With unpleasant creak, the door was opened. In contrast with the morning spring landscape outside, this place was nothing but a dark area, with only some small candles brightened up the room.
"You're here, Saito."
Tilting his head to the source of the voice, Saito narrowed his blue eyes and walked forward to the old man who was mixing some fishy potion into glass bottles, "Yukimura-dono, you come here more often recently."
Kodo let out a tiny chuckle, "Yes...thanks to Lord Katamori who provides me with some guardians everytime I need to come here, although it's kinda difficult to sneak in from the back door..." He laughed a bit and continued, "After all, Chizuru doesn't need to know that I often come as a mad scientist of Aizu. If she were to see me, I want her to look at me as a normal father...Speaking of which, how is she?"
"She's fine. You don't need to worry," Saito replied emotionlessly. But abruptly their conversation was disturbed by a terrifying, yet weak howl.
Immediately, Saito fixed his gaze on the white-haired, red-eyed creature chained onto the wall. Not only one, but there were three...or four of them. At least four at this time, and they were all Satcho men. That Heisuke brat was just brave enough to throw them in here last night, but not having more guts to see their inhuman transformation.
Saito couldn't blame him, though. But someone must take care of this problem or else the Ochimizu project wouldn't be finished. With one swift motion, Saito unsheathed his katana and pointed it towards the neck of a rasetsu. Unlike the usual case, where the creature would laugh maniacally or move uncontrollably, this time he shivered in fear upon looking at the young captain before him.
"Kill me...," He gulped, suddenly shouted as if he lost his sanity, and regained it back after some seconds. "I can't stand this pain anymore..."
A flash of memories was playing in Saito's mind upon hearing that—the one that had become a nightmare. But don't call him as the captain of Shinsengumi's third division if he couldn't act professionally.
Turning his body around to face Kodo once again, he whispered, "I will report this to Kondou-san and Hijikata-san. Looks like you've succeeded in improving the Ochimizu, Yukimura-dono."
A smile of satisfaction found its way to Kodo's lips, "My son-in-law is really smart. Yes, as you can see...the possibility of them being crazy has been successfully reduced. We're just one step closer to make a group of perfect and obedient rasetsu warriors."
"Kodo...you're traitor!" One of other rasetsu shouted all of a sudden, struggling to free himself from the bound but it didn't give any positive result, "Don't think that Satcho leaders will let you out so easily! On top of that, Kazama-sama will definitely kill you for betraying the demon clan and taking away his bride!"
It was all he could speak out before a metal blade pierced his heart. The rasetsu's eyes rolled in agony while letting out a frightening scream. Just seconds after that, Saito took his katana off of the poor man's body and sheathed it back into its scabbard.
"I hope you don't mind losing one of your rasetsu, Yukimura-dono," said Saito quietly while wiping off the fresh crimson blood from his stoic face. "As always, I will tell the others about the progress of Ochimizu project. Please excuse me."
As Saito prepared to walk out of the room, he took a quick glance at the sparkling small bottle on the table. The crimson liquid inside resembled blood so much, and the dim candlelight added the horror impression. Nobody would think that such amount of water had frightening effect.
Upon looking at Saito who stared at the Ochimizu seriously, Kodo questioned in joking tone, "What is it, Saito? Do you want to drink it too? It can multiply your power although of course there's a great risk behind it...As far as I'm concerned, it will shorten your lifespan if you use—"
"If..." Saito cut the doctor's long speech. "If Shinsengumi orders me to take in this potion, I'm going to do it. I wouldn't have any complaint..."
There was no doubt in his words upon saying such scary determination. Even Kodo couldn't say anything else as he saw Saito's back that somehow seemed lonely. But nevertheless, he didn't see that Saito's sharp gaze softened as he murmured soundlessly more to himself, continuing his previous words.
"...or if I need it to protect someone. The one that I'm supposed to protect in the first place."
Going back to the main mansion, Saito felt a bit relieved by leaving that place. Nobody knew—or maybe some older ones like Inoue or Kondou could guess that there was a great suffering beneath his expressionless mask. People might call him heartless or whatever they wanted, but they wouldn't care that he had taken all the burdens on his shoulder, acting like a criminal by doing most of dirty jobs for the sake of Shinsengumi's glory.
But he was glad that he could be useful for Shinsengumi, the only place worth to be called his home. While thinking about this, a tiny smile was formed on his lips. Yes, it was true. He just needed to live like this. It was enough. It made him proud of being the Shinsengumi captain and he couldn't ask for more. Other people didn't need to understand him. Just live by missions and—
"Hajime-san! Hajime-san!"
Oh gosh, her again. Sighing in slight annoyance, Saito placed his gaze on Chizuru who was running to him in cheerful steps. What else this time?
"Kondou-san asked me to buy some vegetables. Would you please accompany me? He told me to ask you out as well." The girl moved her head a bit while a happy smile lined her lips.
Saito wasn't sure whether Kondou did this on purpose, but if it was the Commander's order, he had nothing to object—even though it was just an unimportant stuff like going shopping in the market.
Saito exhaled nonchalantly then said, "Alright. I will change my clothes first—and don't make such face." He added as he saw Chizuru seem scared upon noticing the Satcho man's bloodstain on his white scarf. "You must get used to this...Just wait here, okay?"
Chizuru nodded. It was right, she must get used of being a Shinsengumi captain's wife. And she must really do that if she wanted to understand her partner life in a better way.
Walking to the main gate, Chizuru enjoyed the spring breeze while silently recalling their first good moments. The pink blush graced her cheeks when she unconsciously imagined her and Saito being a normal family, with adorable children running around happily...No way, the girl told herself. It was still a long journey in her case...or wasn't it?
"I've found you."
While daydreaming, you wouldn't want anyone else to ruin your imagination, right? Hence Chizuru glared in reflect at the whoever dared to disturb her. But as soon as it appeared, her glare dropped as the stranger in front of her returned her gaze by a pair of piercing ruby eyes.
"Who are you...?" Chizuru asked weakly. She never saw this man before, and judging by a sly smirk on his face, he was definitely not a good guy. Wait...other than that, Chizuru was sure he was not a member of Shinsengumi. Then how did he manage to enter this manor?
However, the mysterious man answered her question with a forceful grasp on her wrist. Chizuru squeezed her eyes shut in pain and almost shouted when suddenly the stranger's face went closer to hers until their noses were touching.
"Finally..." His blonde hair mingled with Chizuru's brown locks. "I'm going to take what's mine back."
Gathering her courage, Chizuru screamed, "No! Let go of me!" But the man's grip was too strong, she couldn't release herself. To make it worse, it looked like there was nobody could hear her since most of warriors were going on morning patrol, while the some left were training on the other side of the mansion.
"Come with me," the blonde man pulled Chizuru's hand harshly, paying no mind to the clueless maiden who had started crying. Just why the nightmare began to show itself again?
"No..." Chizuru had no power to cry out nor unsheathe her short sword as her heart was dominated by fear. "Help me...Hajime-san..."
"Could you please release her? You're hurting an innocent young woman."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Chizuru turned around in relief and placed her teary irises on the person whose name she called before. For unknown reason, his name was the only thing crossed her mind in this intimidating moment.
Saito positioned his deadly left hand on the hilt of his sword, with his sapphire eyes never left that stranger and Chizuru. "I give you ten seconds. Tell me who you are and the reason you came here...Are you a spy from Satcho?"
Unexpectedly, the mysterious guy laughed loudly as though Saito had said something funny, "A spy? Such low profession wouldn't suit me! I'm just here to take this woman!"
"You can't." Saito closed his eyes in solemnity and took a battle stance. Chizuru knew it was the stance for his powerful iai strike, which never failed to slice the enemy. "If you want to take her away, you must defeat me first!"
With those words, Saito moved his katana in swift movement while in the same time, his other hand pulled Chizuru's body into his chest. The blonde man seemed surprised due to this rapid attack that he let Chizuru go just that way...Here it was, he would end up the same like a lot of people who dared to try Saito Hajime's patience...
Clash!
Saito's blue eyes opened wide as he found out that his infamous strike had been blocked by the stranger's katana—a well-crafted one, with crimson hilt and so was its scabbard. Tightening his right arm around Chizuru's figure protectively, Saito leapt forward and prepared to give the second attack to the now smirking guy...
...But that man was nowhere to be found. All of a sudden, Saito's samurai instict felt a motion of blade from behind, and the captain managed to block his enemy's sword before it hit him. Again, their swords clashed.
"Who are you to her, trash? Are you his personal guardian or what?" The stranger pressed his blade against Saito's, and it seemed he was at advantage since he used two arms, while Saito just used one because the other arm was still circling around Chizuru's body.
But nevertheless, Saito refused to give up. Gritting his teeth while maintaining his sword's position, he answered, "She's my wife...and it's my duty to protect her!"
Upon listening to this, the mysterious man's strength somehow got weaker. Saito didn't waste this opportunity and used all his power to throw his enemy back. In roughly the same time, the Shinsengumi executives who stayed in the headquarters finally came to give him a hand after hearing that ruckus.
Still, the blonde man didn't give a crap about the late newcomers. He sent a death glare to Saito, "You married her?! Do you know how precious she is?!"
Saito returned his glare, and gently stroked Chizuru's wavering back, "Yes, we've been married. Do you have any problem with th—" Abruptly, a flash of recognition crossed Saito's mind. He was silent for some seconds until he voiced out a low whisper, "You...have we met somewhere before?"
"How am I supposed to remember every shit I saw on the street?!" The mysterious guy shouted in pure hatred and turned his blazing eyes to Chizuru afterwards. Suddenly his eyes narrowed, as if he scanned through the girl's body. After some moments that seemed like forever, that malevolent smirk found its way back to his face.
"...Ah, I see...Okay, I think I will join your little marriage game for a while."
"What do you mean?!" Saito growled. "Besides, you haven't answered my question yet."
With a 'tch', the man raised his eyebrows in arrogance, "You know what I mean. Don't think you can deceive me with such silly lie..." Then he stared at Saito for a long time before his scarlet eyes opened wide in disbelief.
"You...could it be that you're the one who—"
"I know it's you!" Saito threw Chizuru to Hijikata—now he could fight with full power, ran towards the man and swung his blade, cutting some of the blonde strands. "You're NOT human!"
But the stranger vanished and re-appreared in the place outside Saito's sword range. As ruby met sapphire, both were burning with killing intent, the stranger whispered with a tiny malicious smile lined his lips, "Now I remember you, trash. Be proud..."
The other Shinsengumi members didn't understand about what was happening right now as they witnessed Saito and the blonde guy talked in such familiar manner. Trying to get her courage back, Chizuru asked shakily, "Hajime-san...do you know him?"
However, Saito didn't give any answer. He ran towards the mysterious man once again, yet before he could touch even a strand of his hair, the crimson-eyed guy had jumped and landed on the headquarter's roof—which was impossible for any human to do.
He stared down at Saito, then Chizuru, completely ignoring the others. Although he had failed at his mission—kidnapping someone else's wife, Chizuru swore she saw a glimpse of satisfaction, but not in a good way, gracing his face.
"Don't you dare run away!" Saito shouted and took a fighting stance. "Come down and face me here!"
This situation was confusing. Even Kondou and Hijikata didn't know what to do while looking at their subordinate which seemed like losing his usual calmness. But they knew Saito didn't intend to explain anything right now as the young captain kept glaring at the invader.
All of a sudden, the weird man sheathed his red katana back to the scabbard as though he had lost interest. In her still dizzy mind, Chizuru barely heard Saito shouting something else, about his enemy had underestimated him. She wasn't sure, but the next thing she knew was, she had run forward and wrapped her small arms around Saito's waist.
"Hajime-san, don't! Just let him go!" Using the little strength left, Chizuru managed to hold Saito in place. Within her heart, something told her that Saito...couldn't win against that stranger.
Saito gasped, and slowly he realized that he had acted strange upon meeting this invader. It was definitely not good, because he didn't want anyone else to know about it...especially...her.
Looking down nonchalantly at the couple, the blonde male sighed a bit. Obviously he didn't like watching the drama scene before him. Yet he decided to have fun a bit as he said, "It's quite unexpected reunion with you...But don't worry, if you want to fight me so much, we will meet again..."
While saying those words, he jumped down from the roof and somewhat seemed like flying, slowly disappeared from the sight. Chizuru could just freeze in place, confused of what he meant with 'reunion.' And also, she knew it was only the beginning of something bad.
"...soon."
Pheww it was a pretty long chapter I made, but I hope it could pay off my late update...Kyaaa don't hate me D:
Now I wish...just wish...to post the next chapter faster...I don't like making you guys wait for too long and I hate abandoning my own story T_T But for now, just wish me luck for the upcoming midterms *pray and study hard*
To make my day, how about leaving a REVIEW? XD
