Gomen minna T^T Since I had been really busy with school (and got really lazy ^-^') I decided to hold off on the story until the summer. Hopefully now I can give you all more chapters, wether its writing them in the middle of the night or having a random burst of creativity. Remember: Favorite & Review The reviews really do help. (Also since it has been so long I have kinda forgotten what I had originally planned for this story so I will still try and make it as best as I can. If there are some points where Aki seems out of character that is because I am again trying to create her character and get into the mood of her character).
Finally Giving In: Chapter 5
'Should have bought more bandages earlier.' She thought as she got up to the door. She could hear their voices behind the door laughing and talking about who knows what.
'Might as well get this over with.' She thought as she used her bandaged hand to open the door and the other to keep the haori closed.
Aki slid the door open and all the voices stopped. When she looked up into the room all eyes were on her, it was very uncomfortable. She tightened Okita's over-sized haori on her even more, hoping to help her feel less revealed. She walked in the room with Okita close behind her.
"Aki, sit." Kondou said to her, a voice full of seriousness. She followed his orders immediately sitting in the spot in front of him and Hijikata. Okita left her side and took his normal spot against the wall with his legs lazily crossed.
"Tell us where you were." Hijikata said glaring at her. The glare was no surprise to Aki. He seemed like he was always uptight about any little thing.
"I was angry so I went out for a stroll to clear my head" Aki told them with her head facing the ground. It was really embarrassing being in a room full of men wearing an over-sized haori with nothing underneath. Aki had to be really careful not to let it open.
"That doesn't sound to ba-" Heisuke said but was interrupted by Hijikata.
"You are hear under our supervision meaning you must also follow our rules. Leaving, much less sneaking out, with no one having any idea where you are going is against the rules. You were lucky Okita followed you and was able to help you. Failure to comply will result in consequences that we deem fit." Hijikata ranted on to Aki. As soon as he was done he got up to leave, everyone was still silent.
"Please listen to him Aki-chan. He only has his best intentions for everyone at heart." Kondou said following Hijikata. Aki's eyes just followed him as he left the room.
"Good job, Okita. Saving the damsel in distress." Nagakura said flashing a toothy grin and Okita.
"Where's my reward, Aki-chan? A kiss perhaps~ After all, the hero needs something." Okita said playfully, teasing her.
"Yeah how about a punch in the face?" Aki told him while waving her fist at Okita. Waving her fist at him caused the haori to open but she didn't notice.
"Woah, Aki's not small at all!" Heiskue yelled with a little too much excitement. This cause everyone to stop and stare at her.
"What are you ta-" She began but looked down and noticed how open the haori was.
"Perverts!" Aki yelled with a big blush on her face, tightening the haori as much as she could. She stormed out of the room before anyone could say anything.
'Just great, I don't even have clothes to change into. I can't keep the haori on forever.' Aki thought to herself as she made her way into Okita's room. Once she was in the room she laid her sword down against the wall and started examining her body for any marks from the men from earlier. As she took off the hoari a little to get a better look. On her chest was a little line from the man's sword slicing her bandages, plus a few bruises on her arms from their grip being way too forceful.
As Aki sat there still looking for marks, loud footsteps rang through the halls. The door to Okita's room was busted right open.
"HEY AKI-CHAN!" Heisuke yelled to her and stopped right in his tracks. "Huh?" he said, all train of thought lost when seeing Aki there with the haori almost completely off.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Aki yelled pulling the haori up and grabbing her sword, ready to swing at him. "LEARN TO FUCKING KNOCK OR SOMETHING!" She continued to yell. Aki had enough embarrassment for one day.
"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!" Heisuke yelled dodging her swings. "Aki, stop freakin' swing that damn thing!" He yelled trying to calm her down. As Aki went for a wide swing that allowed Heisuke to grab her hand and stop it. "Geez Aki. I came here to say sorry." He said to her letting her hand go.
"A little too late for that.." She said turning away from him.
"Oh come onnnn. I didn't know you were… looking at yourself." He said keeping the last part quiet. "I even brought you something to change into." He said holding up a shirt that was like his but only a dark green.
"It's not much, but it's probably the closest we'll get. Everyone else here is too much bigger than you." He said handing it to her.
"Oh.. Thanks Heisuke." She said happily now that she could have something normal to wear.
"Here. I also got these since the others got kinda… ripped…" Heisuke said having a blush on his face remembering seeing there were no bandages under the haori earlier. Heisuke handed her the roll of bandages and made his way towards the door.
"Thank Harada for them when you see him, that's where the bandages came from." He said opening the door.
"Okay.. Again, thank you Heisuke." She told him as he shut the door. Quickly she changed into new bandages and the shirt he had brought her. It wasn't too bad, a little tight in the chest area but much better than Okita's hoari.
'I really owe Heisuke one.' She thought on her way to return Okita his haori.
