Finally Giving In: Chapter 3

'This will be interesting.' Okita thought as he smirked at the girl who was now sleeping peacefully in his room. 'I wonder how much I can play with her.'

Aki felt something soft yet hard against her. Still half asleep with her eyes closed she moved her hands around trying to figure out what it is she was feeling. She had to admit that even though she was in a strange place she slept amazingly well. Feeling the coldness of the room she huddled a little closer to the object she was pressed up against.. She didn't remember a wall being this warm. Slowly she opened her eyes. As she soon as she was able to make out what was in front of her, her eyes opened real wide, real fast.

"Ohayo Aki-chan~~~." She heard that playful tone from the bastard that got her here in the first place. "I didn't know you wanted to cuddle so badly, you clung to me all night~" Okita said with his tone playful and that signature smirk on his face. Aki couldn't believe that bastard was right there lying with her.

"O-Okita! What the hell are you doing?!" Aki yelled as she pushed him away and backed up against the wall. She had a little blush on her face hoping Okita wouldn't notice. She didn't need any more teasing from him. 'How dare he. Why was I on his futon in the first place? I was against the wall when I fell asleep.' Aki remembered while cursing herself for letting her guard down too much. She very much regretted thinking that the 'object' she was against was comfortable earlier.

"What did you do to me?" Aki spat at him, glaring the whole time.

Okita sat up a little with his kimono partly opened, his chest right in front of Aki's eyes. She glared at him harder when he didn't fix it.

"I didn't do anything at all Aki-chan. You looked cold last night so I simply put you on my futon. You were the one who got all comfy to me." He said winking at her playfully and getting up out of bed.

"There's no way." Aki said quietly to herself. She relaxed a little as Okita left the room to find the others. She sat there angry as she fixed her long red braid. Her hair wasn't bright red but more or a dark red. It was a shade she quite liked and was passed to her from her mother. It complimented her light green eyes very nicely. 'Stupid Okita. Stupid Shinsengumi. Stupid everything.' She thought as she finished fixing it and fixed her disheveled clothes as well. 'Thinking he can just get away with that…I'll kick his ass.' She thought.

Aki grabbed her sword and left the room and headed to where the other voices could be heard. Everyone was in the room enjoying breakfast together. It was like a big family, and it made her envy them a little. Aki couldn't remember what it was like to be together as a family. To share meals together and have fun was something she forgot long, long ago when she was a child.

"Ohayo Aki-chan" she heard from Heisuke across the room. There was a try set up next to him and he patted the space behind it. "Over here!" he said happily. She walked over with a little smile on her face. She finally was able to have a nice hot meal but was also happy that she wouldn't be alone. She would never tell anyone that though, it was her own little secret.

"Did you sleep well?" Shinpachi asked from the other side of her. That made her face go blank.

There was a little laughing from the corner and then she heard that damned voice.

"Oh trust me. She slept great~ I didn't know she was such a cuddl-"Okita said and laughed as he held a bowl and chopsticks in his hands. Before he could finished a chopstick hit him right in the forehead like an arrow hitting a dart board. As it fell it left a little red mark behind. "Nani?" Okita said as he looked at the chopstick and then up to see where he came from.

"Bulls eye." Aki said through her teeth making Heisuke and the others laugh at her actions. "You deserve much more than that you ass." Aki said as she went back to eating. She took one of Heisuke's chopsticks from next to her, ignoring his protests, so she could finish.

After breakfast Hijikata and Kondou held a meeting with the captain's so that gave Aki alone time from everyone. She was kind of glad. She walked to the courtyard where the flowers were blooming brightly in all different colors. For being the headquarters of a large group of men it was quite nice…. at least the outside was. She sat on the bench and just enjoyed the air. As a child she would always sit outside her home and tend to the garden with her mother. It made her mother so happy and the garden made the yard so pretty. Thinking of all the memories of her and her mother made a little tear fall down her cheek. She wiped it away quickly hoping no one was around to see.

'You can't hide it from me forever.' Okita thought as he silently watched the girl rub her eye with her head down, gazing at the ground.

The day went by fairly fast. After the meeting Hijikata told her that she would be receiving sword lessons from Saito to test her skills and see where she falls. She tried her hardest and was all warn out. Hijikata and Kondou were pleased with her skills and decided that it would be best if she kept training. Even Saito had praised her a little… that was after knocking her on her ass twenty times. It was past dinner time when Aki wondered to Okita's room for sleep. She opened the door and saw Okita wasn't in there. She took her sword off and laid it gently on the ground and crawled into his futon, too tired to think about her wall or that Okita would be coming later. All she cared about was sleep. Her eyes remained closed as she slipped into a deep sleep.

"Mama! Papa!" Her voice rang out among the flames. All she saw was orange. Everything was being engulfed; even the garden was being burnt to a crisp. All the hard work they had spent and the memories they made were charred in a matter of minutes. Aki awoke to the smell of smoke and immediately knew something was wrong. She left her room and flames surrounded every room in the house.

Down the hall she heard screaming from her parent's room. She tried rushing over there but there were too many pieces from the room falling.

"Mama! Papa! Nooo!" Her frail little voice rang through the house. Her tears felt like ice compared to all the heat from the flames. She began coughing as she tried to run out of the house. She grabbed her father's sword as she ran through the door to the street where a crowd gathered. She had burns all over at this point.

"I'm so sorry Mama and Papa! I'm so sorry!" She began to cry hysterically as the rest of the house was burned to the ground and others just watched. Neighbors and family friends were just standing there watching. She didn't understand why no one was helping. She was too weak to move as she just continued crying and crying clutching the sword.

"AKI-CHAN!" Okita's yelled his voice full of worry. He had just gotten in the room when he heard her yelling for her mother and father. He ran over to her and saw tears running down her cheek nonstop. He didn't know what to do, he never saw a girl this upset.

"DAMN IT AKI!" He regretted doing this but smacked her to wake her up. Her eyes flew right open from the contact. It took a few seconds for her to register what happened. Her cheek started stinging and she saw Okita staring at her wide eyed with his arm behind his back. She understood now and became furious.

"WHAT. THE. FUCK. OKITA!" Aki yelled getting up and punching him. "I should kill you!" She continued yelling.

"It's not my fault you wouldn't wake up! You seemed to respond quite well to being hit." Okita said the last part to himself, ignoring her glare. Aki knew she wouldn't get any more sleep so she left the room angrily hoping the night air would calm her. She needed to get out of headquarters, but there was no way they would just let her leave. She walked quietly to the back of the base and climbed up a big tree that had branches going over the wall. She climbed up and dropped down on the other side of the wall. Her hands got a few cuts from the branches on her way down.

'Gotta remember to cover those later.' She thought while walking away from the headquarters happily. All she was worried about was getting away for a little bit before anyone noticed she was missing. She knew she would come back. They would probably kill her if she didn't and she didn't want that right now.

Aki made her way to the river bank. She kind of missed staying out here at night and watching the stars. Yet she hated to admit it but a nice warm futon was much better.

Okita sat there in his room with a scowl on his face.

"She should have been grateful I woke her up from that." He said to himself as he laid down for the night.

'Maybe next time I won't be so generous. After all, for hitting me I should have killed her.' Okita thought laughing a little to himself as he closed his eyes and went to bed.
