This isn't the Bakamatsu
Rei!!! I woke up. I'm in a politians house. I crawl over to the bed. That must be him. I draw my sword and strike.I...can't bring myself to do it. Why? He wakes up and looks at me. "Oka." I hear a small voice. "Ochita" the man says. Soujiro! I'm shaking. I can't stop the tremors coursing threw my body.
I drop my longsword. "Se-Seta-san" I murmer dropping my longsword on the marble floor with a clink. I look at my hands and for a second I see them covered in blood. "Iie! This is not the Bakamatsu!" I shout as I stumble backwards into the corner, holding my head and praying to the Kami that I didn't just loose his trust.
Soujiro's POV~~~~~~~~~
I woke up as soon as I heard a sword being unsheathed. I tried to sit up but I felt cool steel against my throat. Opening my eyes I saw Ochita staring at me only her eyes...they were so different. They were no longer the dazed moonstone eyes that looked upon me the same way they look upon a tree.
They were silver. A molten mercury silver color that made me shiver against my will. Why? Did she always want to kill me? "Oka." Kasoku says. He's right next to me in the bed. "Ochita" I said timidly.
I see her eyes turn back to their normal color. She starts to shake and drops the long sword. "Se-Seta-san" she whimpers. All of a sudden she throws her hands on her head and it reminds me of the way I did when I lost it during the battle with Himura. "Iie!" she shouts. "this is not the Bakamatsu!".
What? What's wrong with her? Stumbling backwards she hits the wall and slids down looking horrified. I get up and run to her and tried to put my hand on her shoulder but she smacked it away. "Stay away." She said terrified. No I wouldn't let her sit there and suffer.
"Iie." I growled. I began to wrestle her. It was almost pathetic. Ochita wiggled and wriggled but she absolutely sucked at wrestling. I believe I made her even more afraid because she kept on looking at me like I was going to eat her alive.
I rolled over, sat up, and held her to my chest. She trembled in my arms and put her face in her hands. "Gomen nasai." She whispered. Kasoku got out of bed and crawled over to Ochita. "Oka?" he asked her. "Aa." She murmered back. The little boy came up and hugged her. We all sat on the floor for a while
I picked her up and moved her to the bed, Kasoku running behind us. I sat on the edge and smiled at her. "Are you okay?" "Aa.". I got off but she caught my hakama leg. "Seta-san your spot is here very muchly so." She said softly and sat up. I pushed her back down and smiled again. "It's okay. I'll sleep where you were." "Iie." She growled grabbed me and threw me next to her. She then tried to roll off the bed. I caught her gi. She held onto my arm. "Seta-san let go." "Iie. Not if you'er going to have bad dreams while you sit on a cold stone floor." "The floor isn't cold." She snapped back.
I stared at her a moment. We both had the same idea. If we didn't let go of each other the other wouldn't make a move towards the ground. Kasoku jumped in between us and giggled. We lay there for a moment and sighed. I tried to stay up but I couldn't. I was so tired and Ochita has a comforting air around her dispite the fact that she tried to kill me two minutes ago.
In the morning I woke up and Ochita was gone. I looked in the corner and she was sitting there with her head in her hands. "How long have you been awake?" I asked her. "An hour or so." She spoke softly. "I told you not to move" I attempted to frown. "And I didn't listen very muchly so." There was a bite in her voice. She must have been in a very bad mood.
Ran came in and looked at me then at Ochita. "Breakfast will be served in an hour." He said curtly. I nodded and he left looking at all three of us strangely. Ochita's lips twitched in amusment or the closest thing she feels to that. "He thinks we are crazy very muchly so." I looked at her. Kasoku grabbed her hat and put it on. He walked toe to heel like Ochita did.
I stifled my laughter. He was imitating her and she just looked down on him as though she didn't mind in the slightest. Ochita got up and so did I. we both wanted to leave before breakfast. We walked downstairs and made our way to the door.
"Leaving so soon?" we both jumped thinking no one else besides Ran was up at this hour.
"Ohayogosimasu Yamada-san" Ochita said in a slightly daydreamy voice.
"Why are you two leaving?" the man asked.
"Well we just wanted to leave before it gets to hot in the day to walk." I cursed myself knowing it was autumn. The man gave me a quizzical look.
"Okayyy." He nodded. "Then take this token of my appritiantion." He smiled and gave us a large sum of money.
"Iie it's okay." I said handing it back to him only to get it shoved into my hands again.
"Do not insult my hospitality or my gratitude." He scowled.
Ha....well if he puts it that way.
"Domo Arigato gosaimasu." Ochita and I say simultaneously. Then we turn and look at each other. A thought passes through my mind. Are all ruroni this polite or is it just me, her and Himura?
"Doitashimashitte." He nods and ushures us towards the door.
We step outside and turn around. "Ja matte ne." Ochita says and I repeat. Kasoku just giggles and waves. She plucks her gray battered old rice hat from Kasoku with her gloves-with-the-fingers-cut-off-of-them hands, and sets it on her head. Ochita pulls out her compass and we are on our way.
