Chapter 7 - Trouble Come In Twos

To deny one thing was to also deny another, Hijikata realized.

'I think I've already said that I won't do it.' Hijikata gruffly answered - his body language obviously screamed how bothersome this is for him.

'I'm sorry.' The girl in front of him almost in the brink of tears.

This troubled him greatly and as the students passing by were looking at them, he took her somewhere quieter.

'Listen, saying this out loud would make it seem like I have no tact, and it would also make it seem as if I'm overly self-conscious too but if you have a hidden motive like wanting to date me, I have no interest.' He blurted out.

'I'm sorry.' She once again muttered, this time tears flowed down her face.

Hijikata sighed, and took out the handkerchief in his pocket.

'Here, use this.' He offered.

She took it with a small 'Thank you.'

The bell then rang, and Hijikata made a move to head back to his own classroom.

'Um,… the handkerchief! I'll….I'll wash it and give it back-'

'-keep it.' Hijikata left without looking back.
