Chapter 35! Yeah! This is the re-entrance of the Shisengumi! Let's gooooooo!

Two Shinsengumi officers and one red-haired Yato sat on one side of a steel table, their heads bowed. One man sat opposite them, his feet up on the table, shoving it under the one sitting in the middle, a black-haired man.

"I'm going to count to three, and if you don't say what you guys were doing destroying the Shinsengumi station before I even woke up, I'll shoot." He raised his gun. "One..." Blam!

The three of them didn't even flinch. "Two..." Blam!

Matsudaira gritted his teeth on his cigarette. "If you continue to stay silent I'll kill one of you."

"Kill this one! The sadist-o-aru!"

"Kill the vice-captain!"

"Hell no, you b*stard! Kill the captain of the first division!"

"Yeah, it's two against one! Kill the brown-blondie-aru!"

Matsudaira took out his replacement gun. It was twice as big as the he formerly held. "Shut up!"

Silence...

"Hijikata!" Hijikata jumped. "What were you doing?"

"I was training, sir."

"And how did you manage to blow a hole in the Shinsengumi, eh?"

"That was Okita Sougo, sir."

"Okita!" Okita sat up just the slightest bit straighter. "Why did you blow a hole the Shinsengumi station?"

"I thought I saw a fly, no, two of them. Breeding. And it was fairly disgusting so I just fired off a bit at them."

"I thought you were told to never touch a bazooka ever again."

"It was laying in the corner, sir."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Yes, sir."

"So why did you touch the bazooka after trying to slice Hijikata in half?"

"That was Kagura, sir."

"Kagura!" Kagura picked her nose and flicked it off. "Aru?" Matsudaira narrowed his eyes. "Why did you try to slice my vice-captain in half?"

"I was trying to slice Okita in half. It was an accident, sir."

"Why are you off creating these accidents before I even woke up? Why do you insist on making havoc before I even brushed my teeth, little girl?"

"I think that it would be on the terms on when you woke up. At the time of our fight, most would be already awake."

"Oh? And why would I be an exception, yato? Am I lazy? Slow? Old?" Matsudaira cocked his gun.

"No, I think it's because you were out partying last night and drank too much."

Hijikata and Okita held straight faces.

Blam! Blam! Blam!

Hijikata shut the door to the superintendent office and turned to his two companions. "I don't know how we managed to survive that."

Kagura raised her hand. "Oi, but I do. He shot one at each of our forehead, right? Well, Okita was at your left and was first, right? So he slipped his hand and edged you closer and used you as a shield. And then it was your turn, but then you weren't there 'cause you were at Okita's right, and then it was my turn, and he fired, but I slanted myself as I talked, and dodged the bullet seeming like I hadn't moved, but really he just shot with his instinct, where I used to be."

Hijikata's hand tightened on his katana. "Go back, repeat what you said, China."

"Eh? Uh... And then it was your turn..."

"No, before that..."

"Ano (um)... So he slipped his hand and edged you closer and used you as a shield..." Kagura suddenly noticed that one person was missing from the three that had left the office.

Hijikata's katana glinted as he threw off the sheath and for Okita's fast retreating back. "Where do you think you're going, you b*stard?!"

Hijikata raced after Okita, his hair flying up. Some hair dropped to the floor. The bullet just grazed him and burned off a few. Thank goodness... Actually, now that she thought about it, it may actually be that Okita saved his life when he pulled him down. Oh, well. She put her hand into her pocket. Three bullets clinked against each other gently.

She unfurled her umbrella and walked off towards the sunrise.

Kondou flipped open a newspaper. Okita sat to his left, biting into a bun viciously. Hijikata sat to his right, smearing his bun with excessive mayonnaise. There was a tense silence.

Kondou flipped to a page in the newspaper. Hijikata and Okita watched him. He isn't going to mention the suspension of his two best officers and the casualty of his top spy? They peeked over his shoulder, Okita still chewing his bun and Hijikata still smearing mayonnaise on his mayonnaise on his mayonnaise on his bun which was full of mayonnaise. (You get my point?)

It was rare to see Kondou interested in the news. What was he reading? Okita and Hijikata stared over the left and right shoulder, respectively. Okita took another bite of his breakfast and chewed. Hijikata's mayo on his mayo on his mayo on his mayo-filled bun spilled on his plate.

They looked at the article Kondou was reading. Best Strip Clubs of Kabuki-Chou... Hijikata shook his head, sweat sliding his neck. No, no, Kondou isn't that desperate. Surely he's reading something else. Hijikata looked over to the other contents of the page...

Hijikata put his bun down. Now, it could be barely seen under the mayonnaise. There goes his last bit of hope for his commander. Hijikata sighed. There goes his last bit of respect too... Snip snip...

Hijikata looked up. Who? What?

Okita's bun was half in his mouth and he was cutting coupons for whips and collars and chains off Kondou's newspaper. He chewed a bit and snipped off another piece. "Mmf, bhi wun ge' wun fhi." (Hm, buy one get one free.)

Hijikata's bangs fall over his eyes. He reached for his katana.

"Regulation XX; No blatantly inappropriate material, goddammit!"

Okita sat outside the Shinsengumi, watching as the trainees practiced. Yamazaki was playing badminton. Hijikata was chasing him with a bazooka.

Just a peaceful day at the Shinsengumi.

Kondou was stripping in the back of the lawn. My, that's a lot of hair down there.

Just a regular day at the Shinsengumi.

Some other trainees were playing ping-pong. Since when did they get that table? Hijikata was now chasing them around with a unsheathed katana.

Just a perfect day at the Shinsengumi.

Especially since Hijikata was completely out in the open on the lawn and his attention on the slacker.

Okita aimed his bazooka.

Just an average day at the Shinsengumi.
