Seventh Captain of the Shinsengumi

Sanzy Okisaki

It was just a normal day at the headquarters as usual Tetsu is going round doing errands since he's the Vice Commander Hijikata's page he'll have to get use to the grunt work. It was a nice summer day in.

Tetsu continued to carry the tea as he trotted down the hallway. As the petals of cherry blossoms drifted down onto the sandy floor causing little tiny sand particles to move a little. Tetsu stopped and looked up at the sky seeing the clouds making their funny shapes.

Tetsu continued down the hallway. The many men and women he walked past as the wind beats against his face.

A young boy who was older, with the Shinsengumi battle uniform walked up not noticing that Tetsu was in front of him. Bumped into him making Tetsu drop his tray as the tea spilt unto the floor. The young boy jumped.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" Tetsu yelled as he bended down to pick up the remains. The young boy looked at him as Tetsu begun to pick up the cups and place them on the tray. "Great now I'll have to go back and get a cloth not to mention more tea thanks to you" The boy bended down with a nervous expression on his face.

"Sorry I didn't see you in the way…please forgive me it's been along time since I came back" but the voice that the boy spoke in sounded feminine. Tetsu ignored him as he stood up. "Here let me take that for you" The young boy took the tray off Tetsu and begun to walk off with it. Tetsu watched as the boy walked off.

'Is he a soldier?" Tetsu wondered. The wind blew casting the boy's short silver hair in rhythm, his hair was a little bit like Shinpachi's but it was straighter and his ponytail was a little bit like Susumu's. His eyes were like a sunset colour but a little more crimson.

"Oh" The young boy went back to Tetsu. The young boy brought his face closer to Tetsu's ear. "Hey shorty you wouldn't know where the kitchen is would you?" Tetsu flinched. "I'M FIFTEEN YEARS OLD DAMMIT!" The young boy sweated "Okay, okay sorry" The young boy bowed down then accidentally dropped the tray as the sound of the cups breaking filled the area.

"Uh oh…" went the young boy, Tetsu dropped himself onto the floor and cried "My job suuuucks"

"I said I was sorry" said the young boy as they walked up the corridor. Luckily Tetsu had another tray with two other cups of tea. Tetsu glared at the young boy miserably. The young boy placed on hand on his sword and looked at Tetsu.

"Hey you wouldn't know where Hijikata is would you?" Tetsu looked at him and frowned. "Yeah I'm going to him right now why?" The young boy looked at him and smiled "Oh just wondering…" "Are you going to see him?" Tetsu asked. The young boy then smiled mischievously. "Nah I think I'll leave him hanging a little bit longer just for kicks"

"Sanzy Okisaki!" The young boy and Tetsu jumped and looked behind him. The boy closed his eyes thinking that the man was Hijikata by the sound of the voice.

"I'M SO SORRY MR HIJIKATA I WAS JUST GOING TO SEE YOU BUT…" There was a giggling sound. Tetsu looked it was Soji Okita standing there in his white robes holding his pet pig Saizo in his arms. Soji was smiling at them and the young boy opened his eyes. The young boy and Soji were exactly the same height.

"Oh it's just you…MAN Soji don't scare me like that I thought you were the vice commander" The boy scratched his head.

"I see you haven't changed a bit Sanzy but you should really reframe from testing Hijikata's patience he'll come after you again like last time…you remember last time don't you?" Sanzy opened his eyes again "Don't remind me Soji I almost got myself annihilated and I didn't mean by his harisen either"

"Oh Soji I heard Mr Hijikata has a new pageboy so tell me is he a cute little angel….I bet he's really talented to make Mr Hijikata change his mind" Soji opened his eyes and smiled "Why don't you ask him yourself right Tetsu?" Tetsu jumped as Soji looked at him. Sanzy looked at Tetsu and flinched. He looked at him for a moment then smiled.

"AWWW So this little guy is the new pageboy I knew you looked too short to be Mr Hijikata's Mistress" Sanzy grabbed hold of Tetsu and hugged him. There was a cracking sound. Soji looked down. "Oh dear looks like you need to get another tray not to mention cups of tea Tetsu" Sanzy and Tetsu looked down seeing the many shards that were spread out though out the floor again. Sanzy sweated and gently let go of Tetsu. Tetsu glared at him angrily. "Ooops sorry" Sanzy walked back nervously as he sweated.

"Well better get going" Sanzy ran off as his garments fluttered through the wind. Soji raised his hand to the side of his mouth so that Sanzy can hear him.

"Sanzy you will go to Mr Hijikata first won't you?" Sanzy looked back and replied to him "Nah might leave him hanging a little bit longer just to see what he does" Soji sighed "I wouldn't make him wait too long now if I were you Sanzy?"

"Don't worry I'll see him soon"

"Hopefully until Mr Hijikata realizes you dodging him and slices you into little ribbons again"

"Sanzy Okisaki…" Tetsu looked at Soji "Oh sorry I didn't tell you…Sanzy Okisaki is the seventh Shinsengumi captain of the seventh unit he's also very respected and is matching me and Saito he's currently third in sword skills and second to Sano in the spear. Also he and Shinpachi are old child hood friends" Tetsu stood there amazed "That clumsy idiot is a Shisengumi captain?" Soji nodded "Hard to believe isn't it…he may seem like a weak kind troublemaker but is really very skilled…but he can get on Mr Hijikata's nerves which kind a make them look related"

Tetsu ran in the direction that Sanzy went. Soji jumped "Wait Tetsu what about the tea?"
