Looking around, she then got up, not seeing Sanosuke, Heisuke, or Shinpachi either, all she saw was Tetsu and Tatsu.
"Where are they?" she asked again, getting a glare kinda look from Tetsu. Tatsu looked down at his little brother then at Idril, "they are gone...they took Susumu's body and Shinpachi's and buried them..." Tatsu said in a very sad voice. Tetsu looked at his older brother then ran out, his face looked like it was crying.
"...no...they cant be dead...they just cant.." she said, wanting to cry, "take me to them..." sad eyes looked up at Tatsu.
"Okay..." He said, getting up, leading her to where they were.
-10 mins later-
Tetsu sat on the porch looking out at a cherry blossom tree. "She's coming" he whispered.
Coming around the corner was Idril, looking down at the ground, and Tatsu who looked at his little brother as everyone came up to Idril.
"SURPRISE!" Shinpachi, Sano, and Heisuke yelled out. Idril looked up and was shocked, very shocked. She didnt know what just happened but was glad they were all alive.
"You scared me!" she said, wanting to cry cause she didnt see Susumu. Shinpachi came up to her and smiled big, "thank you for everything Idril" he said then kissed her cheek. Sanosuke was next, he came up behind her and hugged her, "your a very special girl" he said then let go as Heisuke smiled at her, "very very special" he replied to Sano.
"Im not special..." she said, looking at the ground, "I couldnt save the one I love..." her saddened eyes were pulled up by a figure. The figure was wearing a black kimono with the figures hair down, the bangs over the figure's eyes.
"Yes you did" the figure said, and she automatically knew who it was.
"Susumu!" she cried then hugged him tight as he winced slightly.
"Yes, it's me...you did save me, you protected me..." he smiled down at her, then kissed her on the lips.
"Susumu being mushy! Oh my gosh! I think the world is about to end!" Shinpachi laughed, as well as Sano and Heisuke.
"Hey, I wouldnt be talking!" Susumu glared at Shinpachi as he smiled then looked up at Sano.
"Susumu, your bandages are bleeding through" Tetsu ran up to him with more bandages.
"It's okay Tetsu, im fine" He smiled at the gesture.
"Susumu you should get your bandages renewed, you'll hurt your body if you dont" Idril smiled at him, making him sit down on the porch. Tatsu helped Tetsu wrap up Susumu's new bandages and looked at Idril.
"You really are special to have gotten Susumu to love you" Tatsu smiled at Idril, then finished up the wrappings.
"Yea, no one could break through his barrier" Tetsu laughed.
"I guess.." Idril blushed then went over to the cherry blossom tree and looked up at it as some blossoms went into her hair.
"it's so pretty" she smiled. Susumu came up behind her and hugged her, swaying some as he did.
"Im glad it was you, i love you so much Idril" he said, then kissed her neck. Idril blushed again, seeing everyone look at them with big smiles. Tetsu was next to Tatsu, Sano next to Shinpachi and Heisuke, then Hijikata came up with Souji.
"You guys better remember you still work under me." Hijikata said coldly like always, but his little angel poked him in the gut which made him glare at him.
"Aww Hijikata, your being phooie!" Souji said childishly then laughed. Saizou was by his feet, snorting, then started to chase after Tetsu.
"NOT THE PIG! AHHHHHH SAIZOU STOP IT!" Tetsu screamed as he ran around the whole Shinsengumi, his voice fadding.
"TETSU!" Tatsu yelled at Tetsu following him.
"There goes puppy boy" Heisuke laughed, going after Tetsu, Sano and Shinpachi close behind.
"We'll see you guys later!" Shinpachi yelled.
"We best be off Souji, we have some "work" to do..." Hijikata coldly said again, heading back to his room where he stayed consealed in.
"Okay!" Souji smiled, his cheeks getting rosey. They then walked off, leaving Susumu alone with Idril.
"Susumu, never leave me..." Idril said quietly to her lover. Susumu rested his head ontop of her's, thier hair mixing together some as the wind started to blow by.
"I wont, I would never" He said, holding her tight, forgetting about his pain cause he was with her.
"Im sorry...for everything I did back there..." Idril sadly said, looking at the ground, her eyes almost filling into tears as she started to think of what she did.
"It just says how much you love me, and I guess that's alot" Susumu tried cheering her up with that little joke, he heard Idril sob slightly.
"No dont cry please...it was a joke" He reashured her.
"sob it...was funny little laugh" she smiled then turned around in his arms. "I guess that could be pay back for you teasing me" she smirked slightly.
"Yea, I guess it could be" Susumu smiled then looked into her eyes, "I love you Idril, now lets go..." He said, letting her go, then started to walk, sorta limping.
"Okay, I love you too Susumy" she smiled at her little nickname for him, then pulled one of his arms over her neck to help him from limping.
And so they walked, to Ayumu's grave, so they could pay thier respects. It was a good walk, they talked about things. Stuff they were going to do, now that they were together again, and things they werent going to do, like leave.
Love, it's a simple thing, it's enough to say you love someone, but it's even more to show your love.
Thanks for sticking with me and my story! I dedicate this story to Love. People should never neglect the one's they love, they should treat them kind, and caring, never hurt them. Susumu and Idril had to learn that the hard way.
I Hope you guyz liked my story!
