Title: Letter Series Chapter 4

Author: Fuji S. Yuki

September 16: Older ghosts

Toshi,

The reason for the letters sent to you is to express that you have a family over on this side of Japan. I have felt that it would be in your best interest to keep you up to date with letters. However, as you requested letters are being packaged into one to be sent to your area of location.

This is why you possibly are wondering why there has not been an over flooding of letters to you. As for my comment regarding Okita-kun you are courting him. You have been courting him since he was seven when he first laid eyes on your broad back you subconsciously raised your figure and try to intimidate him.

Yet you cannot fool me Toshi. When Souji scraped his knee, you had taken care of him and with your gentle hand wooed him into submission and adoration for you. Okita-kun recently since the arrival of your letter has fallen into a cold docile state. He no longer complains when taking the medicine and the liveliness that we see him display been anything but falsified to cover the pain.

I must confess Toshi I had secretly read that letter and felt the burden that Okita-kun must be feeling at the pain you are facing in your travels. Okita-kun loves you like no other I am certain he wants to leave the Shinsengumi headquarters to be with you to walk with you. Even though it pains you, Toshi that child at age nine picked up that sword to learn the arts because of you. If that is not love then I am uncertain as to what it is then.

I never wanted to send you out there my friend. I never wanted you to face those older ghosts that you had butchered let alone gain new ghosts as you travel.

September 17: Scenes from the life of a double monster

Hijikata-san,

Your travels sound harsh and it may be horrible for you to face those cruel things in your wake. It sadly grieves me that you are facing these things without my presence by your side. However, Hijikata-san, I can no longer keep my eyes closed for just like you I've been stamped as a demon.

Perhaps it is the will of fate that I am given these scenes from the life of a double monster. You being one monster, myself being the other, and to be truthful I have no regrets in that certain fashion for I am beside you.

Would you really be concern for me Hijikata-san if I were not a demon? Would you turn your eyes upon the vessel that I possessed if I remain nothing but an innocent? I think not. A demon is only attracted to its own, and even though it hungers to consume another lesser then itself, I am afraid my dear Hijikata-san I am anything less then yourself.

For monsters are monsters and can only remain beside one another. You never see an innocent child remain beside a monster without being gobbled up. Therefore, in the end I have no regrets Hijikata-san for I am a demon just like you, I am a monster just like you, and even though you hate that fact. I have no regrets what so ever for I can be your bride if nothing else.

That is all that matters being by your side. You may call it foolish but I think it is the fool that cannot learn to accept things as easily as I have.

Your Bride,

Okita Souji

P.S. Do you want me to change my last name to your own? Hijikata-san how does Toshizou Souji sound? Maybe I should change it to Hijikata Souji but I feel that perhaps it would be a cutie if you change your name to Okita Hijikata ne! 3

September 18: Arrangement in black and gold

Vice Commander,

As ordered by Okita-san I have purchased a uniform for you in arrangement in black and gold since your older outfit in black and white is lying in tatters in the pigpen. If you are wondering sir Okita-san has miraculous made a recover from his injuries. He has declared himself fit for duty and has taken all the medication and fed it to the local sick.

Sir if you do not mind me asking but since when did you decided, you would marry Okita-san? If you are, can I request a day off to attend such a celebration? It would be nice to see some liveliness in the hallways and it has been a while since Sake has been distribute among our ranks.

Okita-san also informed me that when you come back that preparations are to be started for the wedding. However, until it is confirmed I'll continued my duties and wait on your reply. If there is no such wedding I do so hope you would not hurt Okita-san since he seems perky then usual and has made the morale of the soldiers around us go up.

September 19: Dante in hell

V.C.,

We've heard about your marriage and just wanted to ask this question. If you are getting married to Okita-san and he is a male does that mean you will be having your honeymoon in Dante's Inferno?

If you are, we like you to send us some of the hot embers in hopes to help warm us up in winter. Surely all those women would be unhappy with your sudden nuptials. Nevertheless, hey it is wonderful you get to be with such a happy go lucky individual as your bride.

September 20: Chinatown fiction

Souji,

When did you come up with such a Chinatown fiction of us getting married? For goodness sakes your antics is going to be the death of me. We have not even partaken past kissing so what makes you think we are going to get hitched you brat!

However, it is good to see you being energetic to pull such a prank like this with my absence. Just do not over do things!

In addition, your not a monster do not start being an ass going off about things like that when we know you are not there. (Author: Denial) So get off that bratty rear of yours and fix this prank of yours since everyone expects for us to tie the knot.

-Hijikata
