Chapter 2,
Learn To Love Life.
Shinpachi tried to keep his mind on the garden and not the fact he had four really hot guys trailing behind him
Gintoki, however, was more focused on the cute brunette in front of him. He couldn't help but think how nice it would be to hold the smaller teen in his arms. He smiled slightly at the thought.
Hijikata was focused on the mental picture of the prince's older brother glaring at him. He thought of how nice it would be to break through that glare.
Katsura wasn't really thinking of much. All his thoughts focused on Shinpachi. He Thought that what if he was just lucky enough to have his love. Would he be able to make the boy happy or hurt him like all the others. He looked down and counted the panels as he went along.
Okita kept thinking back to the beautiful young girl that was sitting next to his father. He wished that he could lay eyes on her one more time. Unfortunately he was only here to try and win the young prince's heart. Then again, he could just leave that to his brothers and get close to the future queen.
Shinpachi looked back to make sure he hadn't lost any of his followers and noticed he was being stared at by the natural perm freak, and the long black haired gentleman. He noticed the other two siblings were daydreaming. He figured it was probably about some one other then him. He smiled at the two brothers then looked forward before stopping abruptly causing Katsura to knock into him. The older teen quickly apologized.
"Ahaha no need to apologize Katsura-san." Shinpachi gave Katsura his best smile and pointed to a large space with bare cherry blossom trees in every corner, "I should've warned you, but we've reached the garden. It looks much more beautiful in the spring when the flowers are blooming."
The four Brothers looked around at the silent and yet majestic landscape. Three of them stepped forward and dissapeared among the leafless trees. Katsura stayed by Shinapachi's side.
"Um, Katsura-san, do you want to go look around like the others?"
Katsura look down at the smaller boy, "One such as me should not be allowed to see something a beautiful as a garden."
Shinpachi smiled and took a few steps away from Katsura before speaking, "A garden is meant to take away your worries and make you feel comfort. It cares not for your actions as a person and only wants you to come and keep it company. In the eyes of the flowers you have done nothing wrong and never will." With that said Shinpachi left Katsura standing alone and wondered off.
Katsura blinked a few times and stood still until Shinpachi was well out of veiw. Then he stepped down from the wood landing surrounding the garden and followed a random path to where he saw something extremely beautiful. It was a woman with golden hair that seemed to shine even in the dark of the night. He couldn't help but stare.
The girl felt eyes laying upon her and she turned and noticed a handsome young man starring at her as if lost. She smiled, "Hello there. You must be one of Shinpachi-sama's guest."
_-_-_-_-_-_-_
With Gintoki (A/N: More KatsuraXMystery woman later!)
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Gintoki stood starring at a dead cherry blossom. Its silent beauty drawing him in.
Shinpachi walked up behind him and looked at the old tree before him. "It was the first tree planted here. This year was supposed to be it's last year to bloom."
Gintoki looked over at the young brunette and noticed the pained look the occupied his face.
"Its lucky it was able to escape this horrible place in peace. Unlike me, I am trapped here until my parents say otherwise and ship me off to get married. Then I'll just be trapped somewhere else."
Gintoki fixed his sight back on the tree."The world isn't a bad place. Its the people who occupy it that make it bad. Some people never see the good of it because they are always musing over the bad." He looked back at Shinpachi. "Be glad you have a life to live."
Shinpachi grew serious and said in an eerie calm voice "Life is good for those of poor houses. Life is miserable for those of riches. Life is death for those of the royal family." Shinapchi looked at Gintoki, " Do not speak to me of loving my life. For as long as I am here on this forsaken earth I will never learn to love it."
Gintoki pulled Shinpachi close, and whispered gently in his ear "I will give you something to love about this world. Then you will learn to love your life."
Shinpachi's eyes were wide with shock and Gintoki held him in his arms. He wasn't sure what to do. He felt like pushing Gintoki away but then again the feeling of the other man's warmth was comforting. He pulled himself away from the other man regardless of how nice it felt. "You should leave here. No good comes from those who try to do the impossible." Shinpachi didn't mean to sound so harsh but he thought it would be best for Gintoki to stay far away from him as possible.
With that the brunette left Gintoki standing by the old withered cherry tree.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_
With Kagura
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Kagura sat upon her windowsill and looked out at the garden being attacked by the cold weather of late fall, when out of nowhere a young sir appeared. The two stared at each other, eye to eye, "Who the heck are you?"
"I could ask you the same thing." Okita thought she was a pain in the ass already. He forgot that this very girl was the one he was daydreaming about earlier in the chapter.
"Well this is my house you should introduce yourself first." Kagura didn't like this guy to much, though she hardly liked anyone in the first place.
"Fine I'm Okita. Now tell me who you are."
"I'm Kagura, wife of the heir to the Shimura throne. You're one of my little brother's choices aren't you? Why the heck are you here and not there with him?"
"Believe it or not he's not my type. Also shouldn't you be a little nicer to your guest?"
"You're not a guest you're just nascence. "
"Are you trying to pick a fight or something?"
"Yes, Yes I am." Kagura jumped down to stand eye level with Okita.
If looks could kill both Okita and Kagura would be dead right now but i need them in the story so they'll stay alive for now.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
With Yamazaki
_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Yamamzaki was bored and decided to go outside and watch the stars. When he opened his window side door he was surpirsed to see Shinpachi sitting beside it. "Shinpachi...."
Shinpachi jolted back to life at the mention of his name. "Ah Yamazaki. Sorry I didn't mean to come here my feet just kinda walked here on their own....I can leave if you want me to...."
Yamazaki sat down by his little brother, "It's okay you can stay here. You know I love your company."
Shinpachi smiled and leaned against his brother."Yamazaki can I ask you something?"
"Yeah you know you can ask me anything." Yamazaki ran a hand through Shinpachi's hair comfortingly.
"Would you hate me if I ended up picking one of them?"
"Them... no Shinpachi even if you choose one of them I will still love you, but will you still love me?"
"Yamazaki, you have to focus on Kagura more then me. She's your wife and I have no right to interfere with you two. I love you Yamazaki but now a days its only as a brother." Shinpachi looked down at the earth infront of him.
Yamazaki smiled at his little brother and knew he was right. "Well than you better bring home a good man who can make you happier than I can."
Shinpachi chuckled, "No one can cheer me up like you can Yamazaki." He grinned at his big brother and Yamazaki swore he could've died happy than.
"I wish you happiness in all that you do for you are my most important person and when you smile I find myself smiling back." Yamazaki repeated the same words his brother used on the day of his wedding.
Shinpachi had a shocked looked for a split second before smilling again. He stod up and bowed to his brother, "I shall make you happy with my choice Yamazaki."
With that said Yamazaki smiled, sttod up, and went back inside to finish his work while pouting about how fast his little brother was growing up.
Shinpachi looked up at the stars and thought back on what Gintoki had said, could he really learn to love life?
