HIJIKATA`S OFFICE

don`t look at me like that - yelled yuki losing her calm

how do you want me to look at you? - yelled hijikata - my desk is full with paper that don`t belong to me

oi you wanted to get marry - said yuki taking some papers - you better start planning it

you are the woman, dammit - replied hijikata - you are supposed to know about food and flowers

i do know about that - yelled yuki - but i need you to do the courtship. Pick a yukata, send gifts to my family and prepare the altar for your ancesters and...

oi oi oi what is this? - asked a deep men voice - the lovers`s first fight?

matsudaira sama - said yuki with a low voice

you are marrying this bastard - said matsudaira - call me uncle. Oi baka - he added looking at hijikata - you are getting a marriage way out of your ligue, so be a gentleman to her. What are you fighting about? this is the first fight you had?

why i am out of mi ligue? - tought hijikata

Toshiro won`t help me with the wedding - whined yuki as she hugged matsudaira - and this is not our first fight- she added - we actually met each other fighting in a parking lot before he arrested me

you brat - yelled hijikata - why would you tell him that?

what you want me to say? - replied yuki - that we met when we were kids and you safe my father`s castle from burning and we get in the flying nimbus?

off again with DB - yelled hijikata - i get it i didn`t propose properly but you...

yamero you too - yelled matsudarai - i will help you with the wedding. Bring some tea!

i would never think of you as a romantic man matsudaira - mocked hijikata

shut up baka - replied matsudaira - this wedding is far more important than you think. A shisengumi officer marrying a bafuku heiress, not even I got a wedding this big. And i am sure kondo won`t get it either. This girl`s dowry pay off all our debts and we are getting more recruits than ever.

i knew you have a hidden agenda - sighed hijikata with anger

You are getting this girl her dream wedding - said matsu - or i will sepunkku myself. make her happy - he added with a grimm dark face

Hijikata felt all his muscle tensed up

uncle i got you some tea - said yuki entering hijikata`s office - what is wrong toshiro? are you ill?

he is fine - said matsu laughing - we just do some men`s talk

i see - said yuki with a smile looking at hijikata - you are shock because you didn´t know how to use your tamagos and miki

shut up brat... - yelled hijikata as his eyes met matsu`s threatening eyes -...i mean, yes aiko

have you decided a place? - asked matsu

we haven`t - replied yuki - women in family ussually married in the temple and the party is at the husband`s home but toshiro lives in the headquartes. And it would be impossible to do it at my family`s home

why is that? - wondered matsu

Toshiro gets the shiver near my home - replied yuki with a smile - plus he said he would only laid a foot there when my uncle die and only to check the old dirty man isn´t playing a joke

aiko please shut up - added hijikata losing his calm as a vain form in his cheeck

you will follow your family`s tradition - sentenced matsu - and be married in your husband`s home

how are we going to do that? - wondered hijikata

we can used the salon for the reception - said matsu - and you can go live to the east wing of the headquarters. I was saving that for kondo`s marriage but he won`t care if you used it first. If he gets married some day he can move in too.

Domo arigato gozaimas - screamed yuki with a huge smile turning to see hijikata - we even have a new home toshi

see how easy is to make a woman happy? - mocked matsu - now do everything you are told to. And that`s and order

yuki laugh very softly as matsu got up and left

i better pick a yukata before i have to commit sepunkku - sighed hijikata
