A/N: The second Unlove story I wrote for Gintama, back when I was a fan of Hijikata/Okita.


The blood dripping from the wound caught my attention. Dripping slowly over the arm of my enemy and I could feel my tongue licking my lips. Then his sword almost caught my side and I jump back. With my sword drawn, I stared into the brownish eyes glaring coldly at me.

"I always knew you would betray us. You never cared for anyone but yourself, Okita!" I shouted, trying to keep my voice from showing the disappointment. Okita smirked at me and attacked me again.

"You are wrong about me. I only cared about my sister that you broke the heart of twice! Die Hijikata! Die!" He yelled, attacking me again. I tried to dodge but I slipped. I fall down to my butt, which cause the betrayer's sword to go above me. I shut my eyes as I stab up. I felt blood dripping on my face and I open my eyes to see my sword in his gut.

"Damn you Hijikata. I hate yo..." he mumbled slowly, dropping his sword to the ground. He cough out blood, which hit my face. I force myself to stand up and push him off my sword. Okita hit the ground, making a slight thudding noise. Out of the corner, I could see the fighting was going on strong. I knelt by my ex-friend.

Now that he was dying, I could admit it to myself. I loved my former friend, almost like a brother. He was still breathing but it was so slight. I started to put pressure against the wound, when his pale hand grab my wrist.

"Toshiro, promise me... that you... will... protected Kondou..." His voice was low and barely could be heard over the fighting. His eyes started to shut, for what was most likely the last time. I felt a tear slip from my face onto his. I lean down so our faces were almost touching. His face looked so much like Mitsuba.

I shut my eyes as I think of the woman I loved. Her smile as she watch over us. How she always laughed at our antics, the way her eyes sparkle when we were alone. Was I really about to let her brother die because I was an idiot?

The mere fact he asked me to protect Kondou made me realize he did not really betray us. How could he betray the man who basically raised him anyway?

"To... Toshiro..." he mumbled. I know what I had to do. He will kill me later but he would be alive.

"I promise, Suogo," I whispered, keeping my eyes shut so I could think it is Mitsuba below me. I push my lips into his. There was a brief tasted of something bitter, when I was punched. Next thing I know, I was on my back with an aching cheek. Sitting up, I smirked at Okita. Suogo was sitting up, with wide eyes. I reached over, but he tried to scoot back.

"Keep your hand pushing against your wound until a medic comes." I stood up, positive that Okita would be okay. Now where did Kondou wonder off to?
