the hayakawa family is known for their studies with medicine and for coming up with treatments for various ailments, their father a military man who passed in battle leaves the siblings to keep his name going by continuing his work as medics. this eventually leads them under orders to assist with the shinsengumi for a brief period of time - that is until a certain someone gets attached.

hakuouki verse facts for plotting purposes:

shiku is a medical professional aiding when things get bad for the shinsengumi. 

aillah is more or less his assistant, helping with wrapping bandages and other more minor health / injury-related tasks. 

shiku is quite skilled with the bo staff. he can be found training and improving his skills whenever he’s not busy doing his primary tasks. 

aillah is more on the moderate skill level and uses war fans, tessen, she can do basic self-defense but the more skilled her opponent, the less likely she may be able to hold her own. depends on the circumstance. but she does know how to defend herself and keeps her fans concealed for the most part unless she absolutely needs them. 

their father was a military man who also specialized in medicine but passed in battle before shiku took over for the family name.

they weren’t supposed to stay long with the shinsengumi, shiku was brought in for one task and aillah got attached -- so they’re staying now. 

in the SSL Timeline ( REINCARNATION BABY ) shiku and aillah both enter hakuou academy around the same time after their father’s business has them move into town.

                              Just a few more minutes. It’s all that she’s asking for without actually speaking such. That was due to the current state of deep slumber she happened to be under. So long as her brother didn’t catch her napping on the job  ―  there would be nothing to worry about right? Right? That’s where she was wrong. There’s a light touch that she can’t quite make out. She’s not ready to return to the realm of reality just yet. It tickles enough to make her shift her position, head turning more to the side to try and avoid it. She mumbles something beneath her breath, body acting on its own trying to swat whatever it was a way. It wasn’t until the culprit messing with her pressed it against her nose and said something she couldn’t quite make out that she’d finally start to wake up.

Her vision was still hazed, the figure who had been crouched down next to her holding a weed, tickling her face with it, couldn’t even be made out. Before her full vision returned to her, the tip of the plant resembling a bug more than what it actually had been ― and that was all the wake up call she needed. Adrenalin surges through her veins, heart races hard as she screams out, falling over trying to scoot away from the item with a loud thud against the ground. Swatting away fast as though she could kill what didn’t even exist.

                      “  ITA-ITA-ITA-ITA-ITA  ―  KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME!  “

@hanahaken​ pressed that ♥ for a starter  !!

@hanahaken​ submitted: ❛It's just a little cough. My cold hasn't gone away, that's all.❜ And a loss of appetite. And more fatigue than usual. But he doesn't mention those. He lets out a huff of irritation as Shiku checks his pulse. ❛I have rounds to go on, can you hurry it up?❜

          It’s the same song and dance with the two of them. Souji has a reaction to his sickness, Shiku immediately starts his task with treating him despite his claims. It’d already gotten old within the first week of Hijikata-san asking him to take Yamazaki’s place stating their personal conflict when it came to him being around. It was a subtle chance at him trying to help him, to give him another who he might not loathe as much in comparison.

Hijikata never thought once about Shiku’s feelings in the same light. But he can hear Aillah’s encouragement, to do the right thing or something similar to the sort.

“ How useful will you be on your rounds if you faint? I’m sure someone can fill in for you while you take time to rest and let this medication try to take effect.  “

Fingers pinching around his wrist, not once would he budge from the first division captain’s attempts at getting out of what needed to be done. Shiku Hayakawa certainly was the last person to be even remotely considered a pushover and if his job needed to be done, he was going to complete his task. What Souji did with it after he’d take his leave? That would be his personal bed to crawl into. For now, he’d keep his focus on treating him while he did have him.

“  I noticed how much you ate during our last meal, how often is that happening?  “

The medical questions start, the treatment resumes and he’s already applying pressure to the male’s chest, pushing him down to his back to force him to lay. He might not have gone out as much in comparison and Souji could easily win out in an actual battle against him, but that wasn’t to say he wouldn’t place his personal training to the test and be considered weak himself. Someone had to look out for Aillah, someone had to endure his father’s teachings growing up before they’d arrive here with their assignment.

“  Your body needs rest and you need time to gain more nourishment, it’d be ill-advised for you to go out and look death straight in the eyes, unless that’s your goal.  “

His disease was spreading, he looked worse compared to the last time. Whatever he had going on, he’d need to look over Matsumoto’s notes to see what the next best course of action might be for the other male before it’d consume his being.

@applewished​ submitted: vision blurred , uncertain of their surroundings seemingly covered head to toe in blood. much of it is their own , additionally whatever victim who crossed them. hearing only her voice is when he stops. " . . . long time no see , what's with that look? like you've seen a ghost. " well , black cracks are visible all around your body. of course she'd be frightened anyone would. would it kill you to be serious for once , nao?

          Whatever she had in her hands certainly hadn’t been there anymore. The items dropping as she’s stuck in her current stance for a lot longer than she’d care to be. How did she know she wasn’t looking at a ghost now? When had she last heard from the other to begin with? Her heart ached for the sight, this isn’t how she last remember him after all. Finally she’s able to run over to him, a closer look meant she could see his body betraying him, this was something she knew she couldn’t fix.   “  JUST WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!  “  a balled up fist comes striking against his chest -- one right after the other until she stops, looking up at him and seeing him with such a look which really tested her patience it seemed like. 

The idiot. Testing her the way that he was. Waiting for some comment to get under her skin or something to say that this was just a prank. But the punchline didn’t seem to respond which only summoned tears of frustration. She wanted to shake him but thought against such seconds after. Blood now on her hands as she pulls back, granting him space again.  “  We need to get you washed up,  “  she attempts to wipe away what she had with no luck. She knew better. But that didn’t stop hope from entering her mind a time or two.

@hanahaken​​ submitted:  " come here. "

         She can almost still feel it. The way those hands felt against her neck. The way that it felt like all hope was slowly slipping from her body. The way that the spy had hold of her hair, pulling and tugging her around like some sort of doll that he could do anything with and probably would have had he not been stopped on time. Shiku’s warnings playing in the back of her mind like a broken record alongside the snide remarks the enemy had made simply to try and get reactions out of the very person currently standing in front of her, blood now stained his uniform as a result to the previous events she was still trying to convince herself had even happened in the first place. Maybe she should have stayed behind. Maybe she shouldn’t have insisted on going out in her brother’s place and just listened. Maybe then she wouldn’t be there, currently stuck on her knees next to one of her blades on the ground along with a huge chunk of her hair she had recently chopped off as a way to escape his hold. 

Her hair. Her long, beautiful hair. It’s the last thing she can remember her mother touching prior to her passing. It’s the one thing she remembered most about her, brushing and braiding her hair. Complimenting on how pretty it was and now it was gone -- just like that. It an instant. Maybe it’s the fact that so much worse could have happened to her adding to her emotions, but she doesn’t know how to be herself in the moment. Her brave move from moments ago meant nothing -- at least not now -- not while everything continued to flash before her eyes. 

Maybe it was pure shock and adrenaline which had kicked in which would lead her to do such? She couldn’t even feel her own hand pressed against her now bloodstained cheek as the fight played out in the back of her head again. She didn’t even make out whatever it was being said to her until the feeling of her being helped back up to her feet would snap her from her thoughts. Were there tears sliding down her cheeks? Was she crying? Why wouldn’t she be crying? Why was she trying to rationalize anything? The world was moving because the hand which helped her up was taking her away from the setting. 

                                                       COME HERE....................  

Those are the only words that she can make out when she suddenly feels herself being tugged by that same hand guiding her. She feels herself pressed up against the other body, arms moving around her to keep her held close. It was a hug. Okita Souji was hugging her. Her body froze for a moment, she tried so hard to fight off those streams of tears gliding down her face. Why was she trying to make a bigger deal over cutting her own hair if it meant she had freedom from the person who tried to use her for incentive? 

                                                                    “  You can scream if you need to,  “  

They’re in a secluded area now. Prior to the hug he had brought her away from everything and from anyone who could be around. For once, his tone didn’t come across as teasing or mischievous. It was....light. Was he trying to help her all this time? Her hands moved up, fingers digging into the top part of his uniform. It’s like a switch he knew how to turn on and off because the moment he said that while hugging Aillah? It was all she needed before giving in to the range of emotions, unleashing a loud sob while burying her face against his chest.
