Episode 2- Something we will never forgive Part 2
The Shinsengumi halted their horses and their a young delicate man dismounted. It was Okita. He saw Susumu and slowly drew closer to him worried it he was hurt.
"Susumu are you okay" Okita asked with a worried look on his face
"Yes I'm fine, Master Okita" Susumu said looking at Okita
"Who was that young man who had fought with you" Okita asked curious
"Master Okita it was Tetsu! Tetsunosuke Ichimura" Susumu said sadly
"It was" Okita said as he looked at the pedals of cherry blossoms as more continued to fall and looked at the path that Tetsu took with his horse.
"I haven't seen Tetsu since last year" Okita said sadly as his eyes showed grief.
"I wonder how he is doing in the enemy's camp." Okita said as he slowly helped Susumu up and mounted along with the rest of his group.
Tetsu watched from the top of the hill as his horse fidgeted. He slowly pulled on the reins and turned his horse. He felt something that
he never had. He felt grief and sadness. He missed being with Todo, Shinipachi, Sanosuke and Okita too. He saw Okita's face for the
first time in a year. He just felt as though he was broken in two his friends on one side and that side was where he could never reach. That
one thing that he'd felt since the day he betrayed the Shinsengumi and now he knew how it felt to lose something that he loved especially
the promise he had made to get revenge for his parents death were all lost. Even after his experience in Ike-daya he believed that this will
be his home forever, but was mistaken and he left it forever. He had nothing, but his knowledge and his sword. He had no path, future
and love to show him the way. And he knew that he could never turn back to the past.
