Ok but hear me out...THE COLORS OF THE LIGHTS SYMBOLIZE THE GUYS AROUND THEM ! I'm sobbing, this is too beautiful and a perfect ending. Edit : Yes at first it symbolizes a rainbow as they sing a song about rain before in the play. But I really like how the colors match also the one associated with them (blue = Saito / purple = Hijikata / yellow = Heisuke...).

Hakuoki Drama CD - Hijikata Biyori Track 19 Eng translation
For some reason, I had the part of that song with Kodo and Kazama's final confrontation from Kazama-hen in my head today despite not having listened to it in quite a while... guess something's telling me that I should go watch Kazama-hen instead of Shinkai Hijikata-hen, which I've only seen the switching camera version of? 😂
Anyway, this is this week's translation!
Hakuoki Drama CD - Hijikata Biyori Track 19 - Various Problems
Translation by KumoriYami
(sound of door opening)
Toudou: Hey, Sano-san, Shinpach-san, if you want to head out, go now... Uh, Hijikata-san and Sannan-san?
Hijikata: What is it, Heisuke.
Sannan: What are you trying to do in such a hurry?
Toudou: Ah, no, um...
Hijikata: That's right, Heisuke, come sit down over here.
Toudou: Eh? Um, I… have something urgent to do with Sano-san and Shinpach-san...
Hijikata: Harada and Shinpachi went out earlier. They were probably going to Shimabara anyway. There even enjoying themselves/fooling around during the day.
Toudou: No... damn it... those two left me behind!
Hijikata: Oh? What's wrong?
Toudou: No, it, it's nothing!
Hijikata: Is that so. Hey, Heisuke, quickly sit down.
Toudou: Ah! Right! Let me bring those two back.
Sannan: Bring back... is it?
Toudou: Seriously, Sano-san and Shinpach-san, they're really troublesome. Going to Shimabara in the middle of the day.
Hijikata: I guess you're going to go with them too.
Toudou: No way! How could that be! After all, I'm the one always stopping those two.
Sannan: Toudou-kun?
Toudou: That's right, but no matter how much I try to stop them, they still won't listen.
Sannan: I see, that's quite a problem.
Hijikata: It's amazing that you, who usually likes to mess around, would actually stop them.
Toudou: That's right. I mean, those two get drunk and cause commotions in broad daylight.
Sannna: What do you mean by commotions?
Toudou: It's something they always do. Things like Sano-san boasting about the scar on his stomach and Shinpach-san bragging about his arm muscles. Ah, the other day/a few days ago, they were arm wrestling and the loser had to drink sake! It was really terrible.
Hijikata: What, you must been drinking with them too.
Toudou: Ah...
Sannan: Although I understand how you feel, it really is not commendable for a Shinsengumi executive to get drunk and then cause trouble in broad daylight.
Toudou: Ah, how should I put it, those two people insisted…
Sannan: If they insisted, then you should have refused even more. Rejecting other is a type of strength, Toudou-kun.
Hijikata: Be a bit more mature. Heisuke.
Toudou: What, why are you're saying that just to me! Are those two much better/Aren't those two more outrageous? Anyway, I have to bring Sano-san and Shinpach-san back!
Hijikata: In that case, there's no problem. The two of them didn't go out. T
Toudou: Huh?
Sannan: Thanks to Todou-kun, we now have a good idea of what Harada-kun and Nagakura-kun were secretly doing behind our backs.
Toudou: How could that be――what the hell were Sano-san, Shinpach-san doing!
Hijikata: Those guys went to that person's room. Harada brought tangerines.
Sannan: It's not right for two guys to barge into a girl's room.
Hijikta: Isn’t that better than going out to drink during the day?
Toudou: Huh? That's not better, that's a much bigger problem than going to Shimabara! What's with that excuse! Those two…!
(Heisuke rushes outside)
Hijikata: Seriously. When will he start behaving like an adult/he grow up/get more mature? I can't help but think he's entirely driven by his emotions.
Sannan: Yes, that's true. But, isn't that Toudou-kun's strength?
Hijikata: Ah, yeah. There's no difference.

And a little heartfelt message...
Welp! This past Sunday was the Hakuouki Festival + Cafe event! I was fortunate to be able to attend considering the location was not too far away from me, and I was even more fortunate to be able to get a ticket to the Cafe portion of the event. I took a ton of photos, and my blog post about the event will follow this post!
As cheesy as it is, I wanted to talk about how the localization of Kyoto Winds is really big news for me, as I’m sure it is for many of you. I’ve loved this series since I was first introduced to it in 2009. (Oddly enough through some Japanese Cosplayers while browsing cosplay magazines) There wasn’t much translated content at this point and I really didn’t have much had no hope of the game ever coming out in english. Regardless, I loved the artwork and somehow started falling for Sannan. Especially the one CG of him going nuts after drinking Ochimizu. That was the one CG that did it for me and sent me in a quick descent into Hakuouki hell.  It broke my heart to find out he wasn’t a playable route.
A couple years later the anime came out! I was finally able to fully understand the story and that was honestly enough for me. I thought that was going to be the end for Hakuouki in the west... THEN THE FIRST GAME GOT LOCALIZED FOR PSP! Man did I lose it. Poor college student me had to scrounge up enough money to buy a half broken PSP so I could play it. Heisuke’s route sealed the deal for me with Sannan. He doesn’t have his own route, but seeing so much of him in that route (and his crazy) made me fall for him even more. After the game came out, and various other ports of it... most of us thought that it was the end. There were no news of SSL or any other games being localized so I went on... For a couple years, I fell out of the fandom, until I discovered the Hakumyu.
Hakumyu dragged me back into Hakuouki with full force and here I am. It’s like the fandom I could never leave. This rekindled my love for the characters (and Sannan LOL) and the story. That was when I decided to make a Sannan blog here in tumblr! In the Summer of 2015... I heard news of Hakuouki Shinkai. It was time. SANNAN WAS FINALLY GETTING HIS OWN ROUTE. I literally almost cried. Again, I had no hope this was ever going to be localized... but I was happy enough that he was able to get his own route... and now HERE WE ARE.
When Idea Factory International announced that they were localizing Kaze no Shou as Kyoto Winds. This time actually did cried. After years of waiting... YEARS YEARS OF WAITING... IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING... BETTER YET THEY PLANNED AN EVENT IN THE STATES? What a time to be a live. WHAT A TIME TO BE A HAKUOUKI FAN. GUYS THIS IS IT, WE’VE DONE IT. I’M JUST SO HAPPY I FEEL LIKE ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS HAVE FINALLY COME TRUE.
(Now the only thing that can top this is if Hakumyu ends up making a Sannan-hen. The hope of manifestation has worked before so I’m hoping it works again this time 8D)
But yes, I don’t really expect anyone to read this. Honestly it’s kind of embarrassing but that’s my story~ I hope Hakuouki continues to do well in the west, but I honestly can’t thank the Aksys and Idea Factory International for bringing these games over. I still feel like I’m living in some sort of crazy dream. Hahahaha, okay enough of my rambling, time to start the event coverage!

Could you pls rank your fav to least fav for all the hakumyus up to now? From Saito hen to Hakumyu Live 2. I'm curious on your thoughts and opinions >
Oh man, so this isn’t an easy ask. I’m kind of the worst at ranking things and sticking to it, especially when it comes to these musicals. I’m going to rank these basically by how re-watchable I’ve found most of the musicals to be. I tend to watch certain musicals more than others and I guess that’s probably the most natural way to realize that you’ve started forming preferences. 
So here’s where I stand at the moment (please forgive the rambling word-vomit in advance):
1. Toudou Heisuke-hen - It’s honestly a toss between Heisuke-hen and Kazama-hen for which musical I’ve watched the most at this point, but Heisuke-hen instantly had me in love from the get-go. Maybe it’s because it’s Junya and he just nails Heisuke so well but I have very little to complain about in this musical. It was as true to the in-game route as you can get in 2ish hours and the music was pretty fantastic, especially considering I’m not big on salsa-type music, which took a little getting used to, but it was very Heisuke. I’m always torn on this one cast-wise because that’s the only area I feel that Heisuke-hen lacks. Junya and Marina are perfect in the title roles and their chemistry still slays me but it’s a shame we had to lose Ryo and Hiroshi. Though I’ve always felt Izawa Yuki might’ve improved with time. He’s an amazing singer and I think he could’ve done pretty well as Hijikata if he really had a chance to settle in, but at least by act two he seems to have gotten into it a bit more. His singing is A+. You also have Kazama being the most likeable he can possibly get in this series and I just... I’m so happy to have Sen-hime. Having two girls on stage was such a long time in coming. I dunno, Heisuke-hen managed to be enjoyable, funny and emotional--it really as like Heisuke himself. I laughed, I cried, it was just such a good time. 
2. Kazama Chikage-hen - Anyone who would’ve known me when I first saw this knows that initially Kazama-hen left me SO angry. There was a lot to process at the end of that 2.5 hours and at first I honestly was just so angry I couldn’t bring myself to watch it again for at least a week. But when I finally did go back to it, it was compelling. It’s really weird because until Reimeiroku I honestly think Kazama-hen was probably the worst story and character wise. Kazama is supposed to be the lead role and yet he fails to redeem himself whatsoever. It’s almost tragic really. Even in his own musical Kazama can’t be the good guy and I mean, you don’t go killing Hijikata like that and NOT piss me off in the process. Maybe it’s because I spent countless hours subtitling it but cast-wise and music-wise Kazama-hen is hands down my favorite. The music is fantastic and there was just so much in the details to process but what kills me every time is Kazama. I don’t know what was going on with the direction in the musical but the fire that Shougo usually puts in Kazama wasn’t there. He just seemed so bored the entire musical and it was just so disappointing, imo. It’s hard to put into words but when you see how Shougo has handled the role in every other musical and then you watch this one it’s like was out of it or something. The one thing I’m happiest about in this is Chizuru. I’m so glad in the end that she stood her ground and refused to go with him. I remember people being so upset at that but he killed Hijikata, brutally, in front of her. Chizuru has more self-respect than that. I guess Kazama having a grudging respect and being by Chizuru’s side as she follows the Shinsengumi’s demise was too boring. I dunno, Kazama/Chizuru is my least favorite ship in Hakuouki in general so in all the moments Kazama was supposed to be even grudging caring he just felt distant and cold, I couldn’t get behind that. I watch this musical over a lot though. I think it’s mostly bias because of how hard I worked to translate it, heh ^^;;; 
3. HakuMyu Live (the first) - There is never a bad time for rewatching HakuMyu Live. I don’t think I need to elaborate on how much I love this, it’s kind of it’s own thing though so I feel bad comparing it to the other storied musicals, but this is what I put on when I just need a pick me up. 
4. Hijikata Toshizou-hen - You would think, with Hijikata being my favorite, that I would have put this higher up and maybe before Heisuke-hen this would’ve been my favorite but Heisuke-hen was just that good. Hah, if I think about it, it’s like the game for me. Heisuke’s route is my favorite in-game, at least with the original game it was, don’t ask me to rank game routes yet, I need to finish Shinkai first XD ANYWAY! I love Hijikata-hen but when I think about which musicals I tend to rewatch more, the others come first. As with Hijikata’s route in the game, I feel like this musical gets a bad wrap for being boring? Which I honestly don’t understand, but there’s really only so much you can do to “spice up�� the poster boy’s route, heh XD I love that it was Hijikata rehashing everything that had happened to Ootori, their dynamic was so much fun to see on stage. I think what really kills me in this though is the lack of real chemistry between Hijikata and Chizuru. That’s my series OTP, I really had much higher expectations so seeing it fall flat was kind of a bummer :/ 
5. Shinsengumi Kitan - I haven’t watched this one as much but I honestly have nothing but fondness for it. This musical really warmed me to the new cast and while the music itself was still kind of... a mess? (No, seriously, I really don’t like a lot of the newer songs.)  It was starting to kind of get back to feeling like the previous musicals more. Maybe because it was back with Chizuru and familiar storylines but what made this musical for me was the unrequited element between Sano and Chizuru, with Sano being in love with an somewhat oblivious Chizuru. I honestly can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone play that angle but it was done so masterfully that when Sano died (basically sacrificing himself for Chizuru) it was emotionally brutal. I walked away from that musical thinking if they didn’t announce Sano-hen after all of that, I was going to have to have a talk with someone. Thankfully they did though, so we’re good ;)
6. HakuMyu Live II - My newest addition and honestly I’m not sure where I’d fit it in yet but I feel like this is as good a spot as any. It was fun, yes, but I don’t know that it’s quite up there for me yet. We’ll see where this goes with time though.
7. Reimeiroku - As much as this musical is a mess as far as the actual songs are concerned, the story of the musical itself is a good one. Reimeiroku I feel will be a harder one for Western audiences since the game itself hasn’t been localized and the anime is incredibly lacking but the musical itself was good. It wasn’t outstanding but it wasn’t bad either. 
8. Okita Souji-hen 
9. Saitou Hajime-hen 
Don’t really know how to elaborate on why Okita-hen and Saitou-hen are the least faves but I think it just comes down the fact that I’ve barely rewatched them. They’re both good musicals and the music is lovely but all I can do is just shrug when I think about them. I don’t find either to be particularly engaging and honestly I usually end up fast forwarding through them at points, which is kind of sad when you think about it, but... someone had to be at the bottom and unfortunately it’s these two.
So, there you have it Anon! I hope this helps satisfy your curiosity a bit n_n

Cry under the Moonlight Chapter 2: Enemy or Ally..?
Fandom: Hakuouki Summary: [AU/Canon]: When two enemies met such an unexpected fate, that’s how they’re starting to fall in love in oblivious. Characters: [Kazama Chikage & Saitou Hajime], [Hijikata Toshizou & Okita Souji] Pairings: Harem!Saitou(Kazama/Hijikata/onesided!Okita x Saitou) but eventually KazaSai & HijiOki Genres: Romance, angst & hurt/comfort Rated: M rated Words: 13, 659 Warnings: Grammar error, AU, OOC-ness, BL, yaoi, boyxboy, and yandere!Souji
A/N: Hello everyone. So, it’s been such a long time I haven’t posting any of my writings. I do apologize for this. Just a very popular writer’s problem; having an artist’s block and all. But, after listening my fav Saitou-hen album and osts, my mood for this trash OTP is coming once more. I call my OTP trash cuz pretty sure that this pairing is impossible to ship unless you have a kink sadistic seme x masochist uke like I am.
However, just because my mood for this pairing is back, that doesn’t mean I’ll be posting pretty often. My college life has finally over. But I’m taking a practical training this time, which is, it’s pretty much keeps me away Tumblr even more OTL But hey, I decided to continue on writing this story once more as I find this plot pretty interesting despite the summary pretty suck.
Disclaimer: Obviously I don’t own Hakuouki nor the characters especially Kazama and Saitou. But I do love Kazama’s character in Saitou route of Shinkai. His expression looks quite… exciting and sadistic-er than the previous Hakuouki.
Preview: 
"I understand." Saitou said, stood up from his place as he started to leave then. "I'll be leaving at the dusk then."
"Saitou."
The indigo-haired man stopped from mid-walking when the Vice-Commander called his name. His ocean-blue orbs took a glanced into the beautiful onyx one
"Sorry about this." Hijikata said with a regretful tone. "I always dump the nasty work on you."
"Not at all." Saitou faced away then. "Do not dwell upon it."
"Ehhh~ Don't ya think he's been relying on ya too much?"
"Why does it matter?"
There was a quiet moment between them until Souji broke a silent moment with another grin on his face.
"In that case, that would make this place feeling lonely without ya, Hajime-kun." Souji said, crossing his arms behind his head.
"I don't see any different whether my presence here or not."
"Hmm... Ya may be right.."
"I'm impressed." Kazama began. "For a bakufu dog such as you are, you have such a good manner."
"Eh...?" Blinked in confusion at the sudden of... maybe a compliment? Saitou lowered his face then, not knowing what to do anymore being alone with a demon in the isolate room.
This is an AU fic where the event of the Shinsengumi meeting the Yukimura girl were never happen,
instead it merely focus between Saitou and Kazama
If you’re against Kazama and Saitou pairing, I suggest not to read it.
One night, he's starting to dream.
Saitou Hajime walked to the hallway as silent as he is. Arriving at the destination, the indigo stood there in front of the vice-commander's room like a statue before readying himself to see the Vice-Commander.
Exhaled quietly, Saitou began to speak from outside and the indigo has to make sure that his voice could reach to the Vice-Commander’s room despite he has a quiet and stoic attitude.
"Fukuchou, it's me, Saitou Hajime."
It took several seconds then the left-handed man waiting patiently to hear the Vice-Commander's answer as if he was like a loyal dog who's waiting his master to have a permission to sit on his lap.
"Ah. You can come in, Saitou."
Hijikata finally replied inside his room, his tone was cold like an iceberg that could not melt very easily, however to Saitou's view, his voice was calm and gentle like a soft breeze at the peaceful hill. Oh how Saitou had desired of so much to hear his voiced next to his ear, whispering him of how much he loves him, wanting to kiss him and do stuff like—
..wait, where's that thoughts coming from?!
Shaking his head to leave those thoughts out from his head, Saitou begin to open the shoji door and closed it back once he had entered the raven-haired Vice-Commander's room. The first thing he saw is the strong, broad-back of Hijikata's. It look likes there are more of paperwork he has to finish, as usual. The indigo wondered when would Hijikata takes a break then..?
After he satisfied taking a secretly gazed on the Vice-Commander's back, Saitou took a very polite sit on the purple cushion that Hijikata has been prepared of despite he hasn't looked at the indigo in the eyes yet.
He is one a workaholic Oni no Fukuchou as expected.
..Well, talk about himself..
Even Saitou can be a workaholic especially if it’s an order by Hijikata.
Taking a glanced around the room, the indigo-haired man had noticed that Hijikata hasn't finished eating the sakura mochis that the indigo had prepared before he taking a day off.
He probably should lecture for not taking care of his health.. then again, would that helps him knowing that he has no place to lecture him since he's just a mere Captain of the 3rd Division.. 
For several moments neither of them starts a conversation nor trying to break of this quiet moment.
Of course, as silent as Saitou is, he has always enjoyed this quiet peacefulness. He'd never sense of awkwardness whoever he's being with. He especially enjoyed spending this atmosphere with Hijikata. Despite the raven-haired ronin can be hot-tempered, yet he does enjoy this quiet peacefulness as well.
Compared stucking with the Baka Trio for a whole day..
Just thinking about it, Hijikata would have prepared to dig his grave by now.. 
And now back to Hijikata’s perspective about the quiet atmosphere.. well, the raven-haired man was too focus on his paperwork that he even almost forget of Saitou's presence no matter how much important that indigo-haired man for him.
Knowing that this would take forever, Saitou has finally decided to break this silent moment. It's very unlike him, of course. 
Saitou began to speak first, but knowing that Hijikata was still busy.. he shouldn't stays here longer as he doesn't want to bother the Vice-Commander. "Fukuchou, I've heard from Kondou-san that you've come to see me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
After Saitou had spoken, Hijikata put down his brush on the table and faced to his captain.
Despite being a workaholic.
Ahh... Fukuchou.. Saitou still finds this man so fascinating one. Those beautiful, soft, raven strands of hair of Hijikata's. Eyes were cold like an iceberg, but behind of those orbs, there was a warmth feeling like a ray of sunlight. And those strong and muscular arms that Hijikata was born. He wondered if Saitou would've been safe if he had been embraced by those strong arms of Hijikata's.
Oh how he wished he could be with him every night, snuggling behind his broad-back, believing that everything's would be alright. As long as he could sleep next to him, everything would be—
..Ack! Those thoughts again!
Since when had he started to think this way about him..?!!
..Actually it’s been this way since he’d first joined the Roshigumi.
And yes, ladies and gentlemen, Saitou Hajime has a biggest crush on none other than the Vice-Commander.
Thankfully those thoughts didn't last longer as Hijikata's voice returned him back to reality.
"Yeah.. I've got a new mission for you, Saitou."
Saitou nodded in understanding, waiting for the raven-haired man continued to speak so that he could explain what mission should the indigo man should finish of."You've already heard the rumors about the abandon shop, right?"
That's right. Rumors had been spreading around the Kyoto that the abandon house next to the sweet shop has been haunted night after night. But from what the Shinsengumi found out from Yamazaki, it looks like it has become the members of Satsuma-han secret hideout for a meeting.
Either one of a member of Satsuma-han gave a false rumor to keep everyone away from abandon house, or there's a definitely a ghost in the abandon house.
..Of course to Hijikata, there's no such thing as a ghost. ...Unless he's the ghost.
"According from Yamazaki-san, the abandon house has become the Satsuma-han's meeting base although none of their meeting were scheming onto something dangerous, from what I've heard."
Hijikata nodded.
"Yeah, I've heard that too. However, I don't like this feeling." the Vice-Commander muttered under his breathed as he started to mumble in worriedly. "Whatever they're meeting all about, I want you to spy on them and see what's going on."
"So you want me to arrest them once we've found something like that?"
Hijikata nodded. "Ah. This way we're pretty sure we could find Kodou's whereabouts."
"I understand." Saitou said, stood up from his place as he started to leave then. "I'll be leaving at the dusk then."
"Saitou."
The indigo-haired man stopped from mid-walking when the Vice-Commander called his name. His ocean-blue orbs took a glanced into the beautiful onyx one
"Sorry about this." Hijikata said with a regretful tone. "I always dump the nasty work on you."
"Not at all." Saitou faced away then. "Do not dwell upon it."
With that, the indigo-haired closed the shoji door and walked to the hallway to find his men whom they're taking a break from their morning training.
Upon of walking on a long hallway, Saitou met a familiar captain whom leaning against a wall as if he was waiting for someone to tease.
"Yo, Hajime-kun." There was a wide playful smirk on the Captain of the First Division.
"Souji."
Saitou greeted with calling his friend's name only.
"So what does the mother hen wants from you?" Souji asked curiously, following the indigo-haired man as he tried to search his men at the backyard.
"Just another mission."
"Ehhh~ Don't ya think he's been relying on ya too much?"
"Why does it matter?"
There was a quiet moment between them until Souji broke a silent moment with another grin on his face.
"In that case, that would make this place feeling lonely without ya, Hajime-kun." Souji said, crossing his arms behind his head.
"I don't see any different whether my presence here or not."
"Hmm... Ya may be right.."
Whether Saitou's presence is exists in their dinner time or not, but the Baka Trio would almost do their stupid things as usual, while Souji would drive Hijikata crazy. Mostly in dinner, lunch or breakfast time, Saitou eating his food very quietly and disappeared his presence in the dining room as if he was a dandelion who won't stay one place too long.
Upon of continuing walked all the way to the backyard, when there's no one beside two men, Souji entrapped Saitou on the wall with his muscular arms so that the indigo won't go anywhere else. There was a happily grin on Souji's face. Emerald orbs gazed into the ocean-blue ones in a hidden of lust thankfully Saitou didn't noticed how much Souji loves this quiet man so much.
"What are you doing, Souji?" Saitou said, using his usual monotone voice as he had no time to play around with the playful captain, knowing that it's almost dusk already. But at the same time however, Saitou feels himself feeling uncomfortable entrapping by his friend.
"Mmm.... no way." Souji widen his grin then, in which, brings Saitou gazed on him in puzzled.
"What are you—"
"Hajime-kun," the mischievous captain stopped him from mid-sentence, and there was still a cat-like smirk on his face. Souji leaned to Saitou closer so that their nose were dancing together, and whispered very softly to make sure only the indigo-haired man hears his voiced: "I like you."
"What?" Saitou said stupidily, raising his left eyebrow in confused.
"Like I said," Souji whispered once more. "I like ya. I like ya for along time now." The Captain of the First Division was expecting that his friend would stunned upon of a sudden confession.
However...
Saitou replied with a sigh of... was that disgustingly Souji could sense? When their eyes gazed onto each other, Saitou put his palm of hand on Souji's chest, gesturing to move away as if that's his answer.
"I'm sorry Souji, but I do not quite understand of your words very well." Saitou spoke straightforward. "If you excuse me, I have to leave—"
Before Souji let this happening, the not-so-playful-captain-anymore gripped Saitou's wrist tightly, gesturing his friend that he wasn't joking around about it.
When Saitou noticed how unlike Souji is, Souji began to grip his friend's chin and make sure their eyes didn't turned away on elsewhere. It was very unlike to see Souji this way. His eyes were cold, similar as Hijikata's but way colder than the Vice-Commander's one. His playfully grin disappeared on his face as if he has a split personality.
"Well maybe this could make you understand."
The Captain of 1st Division began to lean to Saitou's face very closely. The indigo was still too dumb to know what does Souji intending to do.
When their lips were about inches away by now, Kami was such a cruel toward to the poor Souji.
A familiar gentle male voice brings Saitou back to himself:
"Oh there you are, Saitou."
The indigo-haired man faced to the gorgeous Vice-Commander quickly that he even forget the presence of Souji.
"I almost forgot that I need you for a moment." Hijikata said with a hidden of smile, not wanting to show his gentle side in front of other men. "Souji, I need to borrow Saitou right now. Shouldn't you suppose to train your men already?"
Souji didn't spoke anything, only groaned with filled of anger and maybe jealously as well? It took quite moment then Souji moved backward from the indigo and started to leave without any words.
Once the indigo began to walk next to Hijikata, Saitou took a glanced on the back of Souji who's still looks in a bad mood.
He wondered what he's trying to do..?
I like ya, Hajime-kun
He doesn't get of Souji's words so well..
Shaking his thoughts from his head then, Saitou began to follow the Vice-Commander and do whatever he can to be a very useful person for Hijikata
...and Hijikata only.
.
.
.
When his dream had finally starting to end, Saitou Hajime had finally regained his conscious back. Eyes fluttering opened like a butterfly, the indigo-haired man sat up and tried to take a looked around the room.
This is...
Eyes wandering the room once more, the left-handed ronin realized he wasn't in the abandon house anymore.
What.. happened to him last night..?
Trying to remember whatever happened to him before he fell into a deep unconscious, it wasn't taking longer after then his memory about yesterday have finally regain back.
Ah.. that's right.
He and his men were suppose to spy on the Satsuma-han who's intending a meeting at the abandon house next to the sweet shop. When they had failed to chase the dark figure, possibly one of a member of Satsuma-han, a certain member of Satsuma-han gave a strange medicine that brings him fall into unconscious. And after then.. he's been... r-rape by a group of Satsuma-han. Thankfully, they're not as many as Saitou has thought to be.
They're quite brutal for an enemy of Shinsengumi...
Not to mention it, he couldn't quite remember for how many rounds they've done so far but it almost look likes to be more than 5 times.
"Urrgh..." Saitou muttered under his breathed as he finds his lower body feeling sore. Untie his clothes, Saitou finds himself a little frightened to see his naked body by now. There are many deep scratches and bit all over the places; arms, hands, chest, and legs.
He wondered what does Hijikata thought once he finds out about this...
The thought of him makes him feel an urged to disappear in Kyoto by now.
Trying to caress some bruises he received on his right arm then. The next thing he knew, he could felt there's a wrapped-cloth on his upperarm.
"Eh...?"
Saitou eyed on it in confusion, didn't noticed until now that several of it it has been bandaging perfectly.
"Who did this..?"
Saitou questioned to the lonely wind.
His eyes then taking a glanced around the room once more, he finally realized that the room was filled with a sweet, and fresh scent that could make Saitou easily to breathe compared to the abandon house one. The room was so quiet that he couldn't even hear a sound of the crickets were singing anymore as if he was the only one that living in this world.
Where could he be—
Not long after then, the shoji door opened automatically, and revealed a familiar presence in the room.
"It's about time for you to awake already."
A male voiced spoke in a deep tone one that could brings Saitou shivered down in all over spine.
He couldn't helped but feels an urged to wide his eyes like a saucer, and gaped like a fish.
Of all the person he met, why here...?
The presence at the shoji door was none other than
Kazama Chikage.
A mysterious, yet powerful ronin whom is also a member of Satsuma-han, an enemy of Shinsengumi. It was revealed that he is also an Oni of the West along with Amagiri and the gunslinger, Shiranui(except he’s not a demon from the West). Kazama’s also the strongest demon in the West clan, if he wasn't mistaking hear it from him. It's already been the third times they've encountered him. The first is in Ikeda Inn, second ones at the Mount Ten'nou, and lastly, at the Nishi Hongwanji Temple.
Whatever reason he'd encountered the Shinsengumi for several times by now it was a little mysterious. However, the Demon does once warned them not to become a fake demon. And by meaning of fake demon, of course, he must have meant by the Rasetsu then...
Trying to be very cautious toward his enemy, Saitou used a defensive stance so that he wouldn't let his guard off.
He won't make a mistake this time..
Kazama gazed the indigo-haired man deeper, wondering what made him changed a posture like that."What are you doing? You do realize you've been very rude to someone who had saved you. You should be grateful."
"Eh...?"
Saitou's cold orbs soon melted away into confusion. Now that the Demon had mentioned it his injured from the last night had been aided by now. But still, don’t tell him that the Demon was the who bandaging his injuries…
Feeling guilty for being quite rude, just as the Demon had describe him of, Saitou lowered his head in apologetically, and speaking in a soft tone, to make sure the Demon accept his apologize.
"I-I'm sorry for being rude just now and... thank you.. for saving me and… aiding me as well."
As he waiting for an answer, Saitou could hear a deep chuckled on the Demon's lips. When the indigo-haired man began to raise his head, he could see just how attractive the Demon is with that wide smirk like a Cheshire cat.
Can a demon such as Kazama Chikage could make this kind expression toward his own enemy..?
"I'm impressed." Kazama began. "For a bakufu dog such as you are, you have such a good manner."
"Eh...?" Blinked in confusion at the sudden of... maybe a compliment? Saitou lowered his face then, not knowing what to do anymore being alone with a demon in the isolate room.
As he let his mind drift off on elsewhere, he hadn't realized until now that the Demon's presence had appeared just inches away of him. Before Saitou could make any movement, the Demon of the West instantly gripped the indigo's wrist very firmly, putting them above the other man's head in which, brings the stoic captain fell on the futon.
Eyes gazed into each other like a human world colliding into a demon world. Either of them hadn't faced on elsewhere as if they were having a staring competition.
The 3rd Captain of the Shinsengumi couldn't helped but to admire those beautiful, ruby orbs of Kazama’s. It reminds him of so much watching a beautiful sunset reaching down onto the horizon with the amazing and attractive Hijikata. It was one of the most cherish day he had ever have. But those eyes looked even more breathtaking than watching the sunset before night's coming.
Despite being an enemy of Shinsengumi, it's funny how Saitou amazed this man's beauty no matter how dangerous the demon is. But at the same time, the indigo couldn't sense any malevolent aura around the other man whether he's a member of Satsuma-han or not.
"I see that humans are quite sensitive one." The Demon began to whisper quietly, eyes went down to the younger man's long and curvy hips. The golden-haired man's hand started to untie Saitou’s obi, half-stripping off his black kimono, in which, the blonde-haired man could see Saitou’s naked hips even better.
Eyes widening opened because of getting stripped by his own enemy, Saitou began to struggle himself to stop at whatever the Demon is scheming of.
“W-Wait. What are you doing—?!”
Kazama ignored Saitou’s exclaimed as he put Saitou’s left hip on his shoulder while the other leave it on the futon. Pulling Saitou’s white fundoshi with his long and callous fingers, the indigo’s manhood began to react a little.
“I haven’t touching you yet but you’ve already reacting. Does getting rape really aroused you?”
The indigo-haired man didn’t spoke anything, too humiliated to think about that night as he buried his face with his muscular arms. Willing rather not to see his enemy’s expression/face.
“Well, whatever..” Kazama muttered quietly, leaning to Saitou’s pre-cum manhood, putting his cavern into it, and sucked in satisfiedly.
“A—Ahhh..!” Saitou moaned in erotically, not knowing where’s that voice coming from. Has he always had that kind of voice…?
What is this..? He had never experienced something like this before.. it’s different than how the members of the Satsuma-han treating him. It wasn’t disgusting he could felt this time. It felt so good. So good that he almost felt like he’s in heaven by now. Could it be..? Can he really say this word—
—pleasure?
“U-Ummmpgh..!” Saitou whined quietly, burying his fingers into Kazama’s gorgeous blonde hair as it doesn’t matter who’s taking a blowjob. Enemy or no, this is too much.
“C-Coming..” Saitou muttered, in which, the Demon’s eyes laid above to the lusty ocean-blue ones. “Something’s.. coming…!”
Understanding Saitou’s words, Kazama continued on taking a blowjob with a fast pace this time, while hearing the indigo’s sweet moaned close to him. When Saitou has finally reached its climax, white liquid released into the Demon’s cavern, in which, he gladly drink it all.
“You came a lot.” The Demon commented, wiping his chin to make sure he drank every last drop from his face.
“M-My deepest apologize.”
“No need. It’s natural for humans to ejaculation.”
While Saitou’s mind was filled with haze in pleasure, he hadn’t realized until now that the Demon was carrying him like a princess-like styled and started to leave the isolate room.
Where is he taking to..?
When the Demon entered to the unknown room, the room was dyed in a white colored like a radiant light. The room was also engulf with a white mist.
Is this.. bathroom…?
Kazama putting Saitou down on the floor and make sure he could stand despite his mind was still hazy. While waiting for his mind back to reality, the indigo noticed that the Demon of the West was pouring a bucket of water.
“What are you—?“
Before Saitou could finished his sentence, Kazama answered his question without hesitated while his eyes were still eyeing on the pipe.
“Cleaning you.”
“Eh..?” Saitou said stupidly, too puzzled of whatever the Demon spoke about.
Kazama sighed.
Humans are quite stupid, huh?
“What? You don’t want to clean yourself after all what happened that night. You’re reek”
…Oh. So that’s what is.
“Then.. take off your clothes.”
“Wh-what?!”
Once again, being slightly stupid, Saitou asked another stupid question. Then again, the indigo was quite surprised at the sudden of command.
“What? You want to take a bath while wearing your clothes? Is that how humans hygiene themselves?”
At that, Saitou remained quiet, not knowing what to say anymore.
Why would the demon treated him this way?
Shouldn’t they suppose to be an enemy?
“I can take a bath on my own, thank you.”
“Don’t be stubborn. With that many rounds you’ve got rape, I doubt that you can hygiene yourself.”
“Shut up…” Saitou hissed. “I’ll be fine. So just leave me—“
Before Saitou could finished it, knowing that he’s been standing up for much longer, his hips starting to shake like a leaf, without realizing it, his body was about to collapse on the floor.
Before his body could landed on the cold floor, Saitou realized that someone had held his body safely. The next thing he knew, his body were enwrapping by a very strong and muscular arms. His chest crashed into the other man’s broad chest that makes him feel an urged to flush in red already.
He eyed on whoever saved him from falling on the cold floor and it was obviously the Demon of the West.
Kazama sighed in annoyingly once again.
“See? Can’t you, human, stop being a stubborn and at least be grateful for this.”
Saitou whined quietly and finally given up himself by letting the Demon taking care of him.
The indigo started to untie his obi, letting his black kimono sliding down on his body to the floor. Still didn’t trusted his enemy, Saitou moved his hand to his private so that the Demon won’t gazed on him in hungrily.
Following the Demon’s demand by sitting on the stool, Saitou began to shiver at the touches of the Demon’s drench, callous palm of hands. He started to clean Saitou by pouring a bucket of cold water above Saitou’s indigo hair before caressing his warm hands on the younger man’s pale and pure-ish naked body.
The golden-haired man had to admit it, this was his very first time touching human’s body before, especially man. Of course, he wouldn’t dare to touch woman’s body except once he and the woman/demoness’ body had court by now.
The human’s body was so soft and fragile that the noble demon had the greatest urged in need to leave some bite marks on his body or even give some scratch marks with his long and sharp fingers. He wondered what kind of sounds would the human make once he pinch his broad back harder until a bead of red liquid started to form…
The Demon’s thought soon went away as he heard a soft whine echoed around the elegant bathroom. The next thing Kazama knew, it was none other than the younger man’s.
I see. So he’s quite sensitive despite being a stoic ronin.
Kazama couldn’t helped but to chuckle at that.
Letting the younger man’s head rested on the Demon’s broad shoulder. Putting a soap liquid on his palm hands and make sure the Demon rubbed his hands together to form a big foam, he caressed the human’s body with his coated-filled palm of hands like an ice rink.
Each reaction the indigo-haired man made brings Kazama’s smirk turned into wider than the Cheshire cat from those nonsense humans fairy-tale. Satisfiedly, the Demon stopped his long and tender fingers on the other man’s attractive right nipple, starting to pinch and rub in teasingly in which, the Shinsengumi ronin released a very sweet moan from his soft lips.
“I see that you’re quite enjoying that.” Kazama chuckled sadistically-ish, licking and biting the human’s cute earlobe.
While continuing on torturing the human’s adorable nipple bud, the other man started to mutter something.
“Y-You’re—“
“Hm? Is there anything you wanted to say?” the Demon teased him, moving on playing his other nipple.
“Y-you’re—“ panted harder. “You’re wrong.”
Slightly stunned at the human’s word. But instead of continuing on gapping like a fish, Kazama’s smug began to twist in wider one, finding amusing to see this kind of side from the member of the Shinsengumi.
“Oh? Is that so? Then, how about if I do this,” Kazama said, stopped his work on the other man’s nipples, instead, moving his hand down on the indigo’s private part, bringing the human flushed in red upon of feeling a hard grip on his manhood.
Each moan the younger man let out made even erotically than ever.
“It looks like your body is being honest to me.” Kazama whispered next to the younger’s red ear, chuckled once more. Continuing on grasping the other man’s private part once more, bobbing it up and down until the other man’s reached its climax.
It wasn’t took last long that a white liquid began to spurt out from the tip of human’s erection, releasing another loud and lewd whine from his lips.
Too hazy to think of anymore, his world started to fall into a pitch of darkness as Saitou realized that he fell into a deep unconscious once again.
Fluttering his eyes opened once he’d regained back, Saitou sat up on the soft futon and tried remember everything’s how did he ended up fainting—
“So you’re finally wake up. I was expecting you won’t be until tomorrow.” A deep male voice spoke with a chuckle.
Searching for the familiar man’s voice, Saitou found him at the windowsill with his right hip and broad-chested exposed that the younger man felt an urged to move his eyes from elsewhere, while cheeks starting to flush in a deep scarlet.
Eyeing on his body, Saitou realized he didn’t wear his usual plain and black kimono. Instead, it was a white and thin yukata.
The Demon must have changed him while he was fall into unconscious a while ago…
“Where is this?” Saitou asked when his cheeks finally turned back to normal, his blue-ocean orbs laid into the crimson’s one while the Demon took out a puff of smoke from his kiseru in elegantly.
“My manor.” Kazama replied shortly. “To put it simply, the Hidden Demon Village.”
When silent falls between Saitou felt an urged to get out of here.
No..
He shouldn’t be here. He shouldn’t be in his own enemy’s… whatever places it is, headquarter, so-called-demon world and all. There’s a higher chance that the Demon might kill without the Shisengumi known.
I have to get out of here. I can’t stay here longer.
Determined to leave this place as soon as possible, Saitou began to break their silent moment.
“Thank you for everything but I must leave now.”
“Why?”
The Demon’s simple question drivin’ the indigo crazy already. Just stuck with an enemy of the Shinsengumi brings atmosphere around here awkward and cold as well. He could felt some dark stares pierced him deep inside of his chest as if they’re watching his every little move.
“I don’t see any point living here longer when it’s obviously that I’m not welcoming here.” Saitou explained. “In fact, I need to report to the Commander and Vice-Commander about whatever news I’ve got at the abandon shop.”
…wait. Why did the indigo told his enemy everything about this? Damn… the younger man bet that the Demon was definitely going to end his life by now. …Well, it’s too late to take it back.
With a long paused, after the Demon had puffed out another smoke from his lips, eyes wandered on the night scenery of Demon Village, replying with a very unlikely quiet tone.
“There’s no point to report whatever last night to the Shinsengumi now.”
“What do you.. mean?”
Saitou narrowed his eyes deeper on the Demon’s gorgeous figure.
What does he meant by that? True that he couldn’t find Kodou’s whereabouts from them and all. The least he knew that the abandon shop was several members of Satsuma-han’s secret meeting.
“I’ve already take care everything of them. They won’t come anymore.”
“What are you trying to—“
Before the younger man could speak more, the longer he stared into the Demon’s crimson orbs, the more he understood of his words.
He killed them all.
Every single member in that place.
Why…?
Saitou wondered.
How could the blonde-haired man managed to kill them all..?
No.
For a powerful ronin such as Kazama Chikage, killing those ronins were like stepping on a thousand of small ants with a boot.
But more importantly is
How could he do this…?
How could he—an enemy of Shinsengumi, killed his own allies?
Wasn’t he siding along with Satsuma-han?
“Why…?” Saitou murmured quietly.
Took out another smoke from his elegant lips, Kazama spoke with a very bored and dull tone:
“Stupid humans such as them aren’t worthy to exist here.”
Stupid, huh…?
Was he included in ‘stupid human’ as well…?
“If I’m one of this ‘stupid human’, why won’t you kill me as well?”
“Hmm… who knows.” Kazama’s smirk began to form on his lips as he continuedly put the kiseru back on his lips.
When Saitou lets his head down on the floor, it took a moments then the Demon had started to leave from the windowsill then. The Demon’s figure began to come closer to the younger man. Letting the indigo’s guard down, Saitou didn’t expected received a kiss from the Demon. The indigo was expected that his lips were rough like a bark of wood. Instead, it was very soft like sakura petals that were dancing around him. His enemy’s strong arms enwrapped around Saitou’s small body very slowly as if he wants to give a permission to let his body closed to his. When the Demon licked the younger man’s lower lip, not knowing what he’s doing; Saitou opened his cavern wider and lets the Demon devoured him everything.
“U-Ummmpgh…”
The indigo jumped slightly at a strange liquid poured deep into his cavern from Kazama’s.
Since when he—
Swallowing at whatever his enemy gave him into his throat, the blonde-haired man parting his lips away from Saitou’s. Their saliva began to create a bridge between Saitou’s to the Demon’s.
His mind and vision began to blur before he could let his slumber take his control him, the indigo murmured:
“Wh-what was..”
“Medicine.” Kazama answered. “Now sleep.”
Before Saitou could reached him to ask more, the Demon’s figure started to lay down on the futon next to Saitou.
His vision has finally fell into a pitch of darkness then.
Morning came, Saitou fluttering his eyes opened upon of hearing birds tweeting in early morning in sweetly. The wind breeze his soft hair like a dancing tree.
The indigo sat up on his futon and took a glanced around the room to find the Demon’s presence. Not long after taking several glanced around the room, Saitou found him at the corner. He was wearing his usual white kimono with red and blue obi. The Demon wouldn’t forget on wearing his favourite dark-brown haori with his family crest.
When the Demon noticed the younger man has finally woke up, there was a smug on his face as if he was intending to tease the indigo in early morning such as this.
“Having a good sleep?”
“…Something like that.” Saitou murmured at that.
Kazama replied with a nod and started to speak when he lets his eyes wandered off to the door.
“The servant will prepare food for you. Try to be a good Bakufu dog.”
Before the noble demon intended to leave, the younger man stopped him.
“Where are you going?”
“To the Satsuma-han headquarter.” Kazama answered. “You might as well stay here for a few days until your injured heals.”
“Why are you.. doing this to me?”
Kazama didn’t hesitated answer while there was still his usual arrogant smirk on his face.
“Just a… demon’s instinct.”
“Wh…”
Before Saitou speak more, Kazama had already leaves the room.
The younger man sighed.
Just what the Demon is trying to scheme of anyway..? Why would he treated him as if the younger man is… some kind of special guest?
His thought soon drifted away as the servant entered the room with a knock. Despite being a servant, he’s still young, but maybe a bit older than Heisuke. He brought a tray of food with a cup of tea.
“Here’s your food ordered by Lord Kazama.”
“Ah… thank you.” Saitou nodded in politely.
It wasn’t that long after then that the servant jumped slightly at the strange smell he felt around the room. As he lets his eyes laid into Saitou’s, the indigo haired man tilted his head in confused when the servant looked at him in suspicious and maybe… feared as well?
What’s wrong with him—
Once he had finished putting the food down on the tatami, the servant bowed before taking a leave in nervously.
What was that all about…?
Gazing his eyes down on his food, Saitou couldn’t helped but having a bad feeling when the servant looked into his eyes just now.
Could it be…
He’s a bit shocked to see a human’s presence in the Demon’s World?
The younger man knew that staying a stranger place was a very bad idea. Just what the Demon’s thinking anyway?
Well.. it wouldn’t hurt to stay here a little bit longer until the Demon returning home.
Once the sun had almost reached to the horizon, the sky has turned into red-orange colored. Several demons in the village were having their usual peaceful life where they didn’t give any care about what’s gonna happened to the Human’s world.
After taking a warm bath, Saitou wears a light-green kimono with a pattern of sunflower on his lower-right part. The clothes was a little big for him, but at least it didn’t slipped off his body that easily.
Most of his time for a whole day while waiting Kazama, Saitou took a walk around the big manor so that he could remember which rooms he should go and all. The Kazama Mansion was pretty big, he has to say. It’s even bigger than the one he and the Shinsengumi stayed before Nishi Hongwanji Temple. There are several rooms in there. Some of them are guests room, dining, living and even a study room as well.
Well, he must be a noble demon or something.
Also, Saitou has to make sure to avoid from getting closer to the servants’ presence so that he won’t make the mansion turned into chaos just because the Demon of the West brought a human here.
After satisfied walking around the mansion, Saitou returned back to the chamber room where he and the Demon slept on the same futon that night. The room around here was pretty wide he has to say. At the corner of this room, there was a small table with papers and brush along with ink-bottle. Next to the Demon’s table, there’s also a bookshelf. Taking a peek on the bookshelf, most books were about history, swordsmanship and some folklore as well.
Saitou blinked. Somehow, he couldn’t really imagined to see the Demon is the kind of person who enjoyed reading especially folklore before.
Shaking his head out of those thought, Saitou intended to return back to where he usually sit. However, as his eyes laid on Kazama’s table, he noticed how the table was full of mess with papers. He couldn’t helped but reminded him of so much who’d forgot to tidy his table up after finishing his work.
He wondered why the servant didn’t clean his table up? …Or maybe the Demon wouldn’t let any servant enter his room whether they’re dusty or not…
Without realizing it, Saitou began to tidy the small table. Wiping some stain of black ink with a cloth on the table until there isn’t any single black spot on the table.
Done.
Wiping his sweat on his forehead with his back of hand, the clothes that the servant preparing him already dirty. Well, he should take another bath then..
Once he took a second time of bath, Saitou changed into a new clothes, this time, a blue yukata with a wave pattern. Entering to the Demon of the West’s chamber room, Saitou sat on the tatami very quietly while meditating.
It’s a good way to wait the Demon return in patiently then.
“Oh? What’s this?”
The Demon’s words bring Saitou back to the reality.
The indigo eyed on the man behind him as he took a glanced around the room with a hidden of amazed behind on those crimson orbs.
“I never expected you’re quite capable on cleaning up my study room. I’m impressed.”
“It’s just normal.” Saitou stated. “Since we don’t have servants compared to you, each of us has a turn to clean the headquarter.”
“So that’s how it is.” Kazama murmured softly. With that, the noble demon began to take off his dark-brown haori, and grabbed his kiseru.
The indigo was expecting that the Demon was intending to smoke on his favourite spot. However, this time, he sat next to Saitou while the younger man took a short meditating to empty his mind. It was very quiet between them. There isn’t any awkward this time as Saitou has gotten used to be next to the Demon’s presence for the second day by now. Neither Kazama intending to give an ambush attack nor trying to kill him. As for the Demon, he pretty quite enjoyed getting closer to the indigo’s presence little by little. Usually, he would like to experiment the human’s heart by being sarcastic until Saitou snapped and sometimes shows him a little interest and kind toward him.
Once Saitou decided to stop meditating, he let his eyes opened slowly and gazed to the Demon, who’s enjoying staring at the younger man in full of interested. Whatever kind of expression Kazama giving, he had no intention malice on him.
Moving his eyes on elsewhere, Saitou could hear the Demon chuckled lightly and whispered of ‘looks like he won’ from the staring competition.
When he realized he’s been fooling around in this manor, the indigo-haired man had decided it’s almost about time to leave in this village by now.
He shouldn’t be here any longer.
He’s a human.
There’s no such thing as human living in a different world except his own.
He had just break the Kami’s rule where there’s no such thing as humans and demons could live together.
Gripping his hands on his hips tightly, Saitou took out a soft sigh from his lips.
“I need to leave.” Saitou’s words were short, yet his tone was cold and hard like his blade that he often wield. Eyes were cold like an iceberg as well, but a little gentle behind on it.
As Saitou finally laid his eyes into the Demon, Kazama continuedly smoking with his kiseru for a few moments. When more than seconds had passed, the younger man was thought the noble demon didn’t heard it very well so he intended to repeat once more. But before he could open his lips, the Demon finally answered:
“Haven’t I told you that morning?” Kazama said. “You might as well stay here for a few days until your injured heals.”
“My injured already healed since yesterday. I don’t see any point someone like you to worry—“
“And what about that below part?”
“…”
The indigo-haired didn’t reply anything at that in which, brings the Demon chuckled in amusing but soon his usual sarcastic smile disappeared.
“While your body hasn’t… pure yet, you might as well stay here for a few days. I’ll take a responsible for cleaning you after all those worthless insects done to you that night.”
“Why would you do that?”
Kazama curled his lips upward, his usual sarcastic smug is back on his face again.
“Just a… demon’s instinct.”
Saitou blinked at those words. When he tried to speak, his chin getting cupped by a very strong and callous fingers.
It was Kazama’s.
Eyes gazing into each other as if those are the only thing both men could only do in this world. Moving closer to Saitou’s personal space, Kazama gave him a hungry as he dropped his kiseru on elsewhere while pinned the other man down on the futon. The Demon had always a greatest desire to devour Saitou’s lips already. It were so cute and soft that he needed to torture it until it turned red.
While busying himself with kissing the other man, Kazama used his free hand to strip Saitou’s clothes slightly so that he could give a caressed on his muscular arms in tenderly. He admired how strong and hard Saitou’s muscles are. It’s  just shows him how hardworking this man with training in non-stop. Also, he had heard rumors from all over members of Satsuma-han that a certain member of the Shinsengumi was training on waterfall while spending himself fighting a bear if he had encounter. Whoever person that training there must be Saitou then.
When the Demon noticed the indigo was about to fall into conscious, he finally parted his lips away, letting their saliva connected to each of their tongue. Gazing down on him, the younger man’s eyes filled nothing except hazy. Cheeks and ears tinted with a deep scarlet colored. Catching his breathed in erotically, the Demon of the West has the deepest urged to pawn him down on the futon by now. But not wanting to do something without the indigo’s will, Kazama gave his forehead a kiss on Saitou’s small forehead as well. The noble demon whispered quietly:
“Today, I won’t do anything that against your will.” With that, Kazama moved his body next to Saitou, as he intended to go to sleep.
As soon as the noble demon could sense a stare from the younger man, it took several moments then Saitou finally spoke with a hoarse tone.
“…Alright.”
Kazama glanced on Saitou, raising his eyebrow in confusion, in which, Saitou continued once more, “I’ll stay here.. just as you’ve asked for. But I won’t be here longer.”
He didn’t know why did he accept Kazama’s offer. Maybe it’s an opportunity to get to know of his enemy very closely. Maybe if he’d observes him, he would find out at whatever the Satsuma-han is scheming of.
With an unexpected answer, the Demon widen his eyes opened in shock. But it takes more than seconds then he replied with widening his smug.
Moving his strong hand on Saitou’s cheeks, Kazama caressed the other man’s cheek in tenderly, as Saitou looked quite pleasant getting a soft caress on his cheek. And the next thing he knew, he finally falls asleep in comfortably.
.
.
.
Ever since then, the indigo-haired man accepted the Demon’s offer and started to stay in the manor of the Demon of the West for 5 days by now as a… guest. Saitou mostly spends most of his life by following the blonde-hiared demon’s broad back as if he was one of Oni Trio group. After observing the mysteries demon of the West who was supposed to be a threat for the Shinsengumi, the indigo-haired man realized that he’s so-called enemy had no malice intention to destroy the Shinsengumi nor killing them. For 5 days in a row together with the Demon, Saitou would often sees Kazama lazing at the porch of his manor while enjoyed at the peaceful of quiet in the Demon Village despite they can still hear the sound of maniacally laughter from the abominations, that’s what Kazama described of Rasetsu. But at the same time, the blonde-haired Oni would also on continuedly on aiding the indigo like a patient and… ‘clean’ him after a horrible event happened that night at the abandon house.
Funny how the noble demon didn’t relied on his servants to clean him. But it probably because the demon didn’t want his servants to feel suspicious as to why the Demon of the West would bring a mere human such as Saitou in the Hidden Demon Village of the West. That could ruin his reputation as the Head of the Pureblooded Demon of the West by now.
When the moonlight had starting to reach at the above night sky, the indigo wondered deeper. Having living here like a home, Saitou still hasn’t found any answer as to why an enemy of the Shinsengumi such as Kazama Chikage, himself would rescue someone like him; didn’t he finds them all disgusting when they would drink the Ochimizu whether they would lose their sanity or not? So why would the noble demon becomes a savior to him?
He sighed, feeling slightly exhausting just thinking about that. When his eyes wandered to the beautiful full moon, his thought about Kazama soon changed to none other than the Vice-Commander, the gorgeous and charming Hijikata Toshizou.
The indigo-haired man couldn’t helped but to admire his beauty very truly. Everything’s about Hijikata always fascinating one. His soft and gorgeous raven hair like a streaming river. Gentle onyx orbs. And those soft lips like a sakura petal in a spring season. Oh how Saitou wished he wanted to see the Demon Vice-Commander again. Then again, he doubted that the noble demon would let him leave without a permission. But just what does he think he is, anyway? Did he thinks that the indigo is his some kind of prisoner or something? …Well, calling himself as a prisoner looks quite a bit harsh. Then again, Kazama does often see almost all humans as an insect which is, the Demon’s word was pretty much harsher than the indigo’s.
I wonder how’s Fukuchou and the others are…,Saitou thought to himself, wondered how everyone’s in the Nishi Hongwaji Temple are.
It’s already 5 days he hadn’t returned to the headquarter by now. It’s obvious that everyone in the Nishi Hongwaji Temple noticed of his disappearance by now. Especially Hijikata.
What kind of expression would Hijikata makes when he realized that the indigo had disappeared? Would he feels frustrated like a worrywart mother hen? Angry? Irritated? Or what’s worse, disappointing?
The thought of seeing Hijikata disappointing face is one of the biggest fear Saitou has ever had. He had always tried his very best to make the raven so proud so that he won’t see or hear the Vice-Commander upsetting or disappointing mumbling or groaning. Whether it’s his selfishness or not, he had always wanted Hijikata to see him a better captain compared to other captains. Until the very end, he would follow to where Hijikata go and died along next to his body, as long as what he believes is right.
“How long should I stay here?”
He questioned to the lonely wind in frustrated, sighed as loud as he could.
It’s drivin’ him crazy already!
He can’t just stay here for like forever by now.
Sitting on the tatami while waiting the Demon of the West returned back from the Satsuma-han headquarter wouldn’t helped him anything at all. Standing up from his place then, Saitou grabbed his swords at the corner of the Demon’s chamber bedroom and putting on his hips before take on his heels to leave the room.
Coincidently, as Saitou opened the shoji door, the presence of the Lord Demon of the West had appeared in front of him. That’s great.
Kazama eyed on Saitou’s swords on his hips and back to the ocean-blue orbs one, his eyes narrowed deeper onto the younger man’s eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“I need to leave.”
“Why?”
“Obviously I can’t stay here longer. Neither I want any other demons beside you finding out that there’s a living human here.”
With that, Kazama remained quiet while he’s still gazing into Saitou’s cold like an icicle orbs. Both men gazing into each other as they are too stubborn to turn away until the Demon of the West finally opened his lips with a sigh.
“Fine.” He mumbled. “You’ll be leaving by early dawn.” With that, Kazama grabbed his kiseru on the table and sat on the windowsill while watching other demons living in peaceful.
“I have a question for you.”
“And, what is?”
“Why did you saved me?” Saitou asked desperately. If the members of the Satsuma-han that raped him had been killed by the demon’s hand, why wouldn’t he ended his life as well? Wouldn’t it be easier?
“Who knows?” Kazama chuckled lightly as if he was playing the indigo’s heart. He noticed the other man began to turn his knuckle into fist, didn’t cared if Saitou had dug his nails deeper into his fragile skin until a bead of blood started to form. Kazama finds the human amusing seeing him looks frustrated and confused.
“Those kind of humans were pretty worthless and weak. Such as them shouldn’t be in an amazing human world.”
“So why won’t you end of me as well?!” Saitou didn’t realized until now that he had just raised his voice to the demon. Tears slowly began to form on his eyes by now but he tried so much not to show his weakness to his own enemy.
Kazama had been watching him since the indigo accidently raised his voice. There was an expressionless on his face as if he had starting to find the toy that he recently found is bored. Eyes wandered to the elegant window, the Demon spoke:
“Do you describe yourself as a worthless and weak insect then?”
“What..?”
When the younger man murmured that, Kazama’s eyes returned back to the indigo.
“Do you describe the Shinsengumi along with you as a worthless and weak insect, then?” Kazama repeated, but this time, adding with the Shinsengumi.
Saitou couldn’t helped but finding his heart completely shattered just hearing the Shinsengumi is worthless and weak as well.
No..
He wasn’t meant by that..
Stop..!
“I’ve heard a few rumors that you, along with Shinsengumi are one of the most strong and fearful samurai around in the Kyoto. ..I guess the rumors are fake huh?”
Stop that..!
“Who ordered you to come to those pathetic house, Hijikata? He sure has some guts despite having a title as this-so-called Oni no Fukuchou.”
D-Don’t blame Hijikata….!
“Just what is the Shinsengumi is fighting for? Money? Power? Reputation? You do realized those kind of wish are one of the most selfish desire they’ve ever had.” Smoking with his kiseru, Kazama blew out of the smoke on his lips and began to speak once more, “I don’t see a point for the Shinsengumi to spy on Satsuma-han like that. Trying to find a news by eavesdropping at the isolate room is one of the stupidiest thing has human ever done. Doesn’t they have given a better task than this?”
“Don’t blame the Shinsengumi for this! I’m the one to be at fault! I’ll let my guard down!”
At that, the indigo finds himself hard to breathe upon for raising his voice for the second times toward the Demon.
The noble demon hasn’t spoke any word yet. His eyes gazed into the the younger man who looked quite pathetic in the Shinsengumi’s point of view. But to Kazama, he finds this kind of side from Saitou is actually… cute.
“Why do you think of the Shinsengumi and Hijikata so highly?”
The indigo didn’t spoke anything, letting his cold eyes pierced deep into the crimson as he still hasn’t enough oxygen. His cheeks were in a deep scarlet colored. Sweats began to form all over his face, neck, hands and body as well.
“Don’t you think you’ve actually been fooled of yourself?” The Demon started. “You’ve been fooled by those wild dogs. Fooled by the-so-called Oni no Fukuchou. You’re just a dog who’s needs a food to survive. But once you’ve slowly die, they’re no longer needs you and you’ll get thrown away like piece of trash. Like a dying puppy who’ll slowly become a stench corpse on the street. Is that how you want your fate to be?”
“You’re wrong!” Saitou exclaimed unexpectedly. “The Shinsengumi had never wanted any of this. Neither have they fought for money or power. They’re all fighting and protecting everyone for honor.”
“Ho..? I never imagined you could speak that way before. I was expecting you’re the kind of ronin who remained silent and let people insult something terrible from the back.” Kazama said in amusing as he put his callous fingers on his chin, there was his usual smug on his face.
Saitou bit his lower lip to keep his usual stoic and quiet attitude on his mask. He can’t let himself getting so-called-exploding like Hijikata just because of the Demon’s insult and sarcastic.
“I believed the Shinsengumi.” The indigo began. “I believed of whatever they lead to me. They acknowledge of my ability and strength.” Saitou has to say, he isn’t the kind of person who would tell his past to anyone, not even Souji, Hijikata or even his trustful captains. And definitely not his own enemy. Especially Kazama Chikage. However, maybe if he told the Demon about this, he might changed his mind of how he seeing his own enemies, especially the Shinsengumi. “I wield using my left hand. I’ve trained a few dojos but either of them had accepted me for who I am or my ability. But when I met them, they never think of me cheated. Instead, they admired of my ability. They saved me, so… the only I can do to for now is to follow them wherever they go and fight for until the very end. even if it means to throw me away if I dying.”
Even if it has to die as well.
And dying like a bakufu dog just as Kazama had stated a moment ago.
As long as he’d choose the right path of bushido way,
then, he’ll willing to be with them.
“Ho… as I thought.”
Saitou laid his eyes into the Demon when he started to murmur something.
“As I thought the bakufu dogs from Shinsengumi can be quite… intriguing.”
His cold and bored expression had disappeared and soon changed into interesting and amusing back.
Saitou blinked at that part, not knowing what the heck is the Demon mumbled about. Possibly he had known the Shisengumi weren’t an ordinary ronin that the Demon often encountered.. maybe?
“As I expected, examining a quiet, yet obedient bakufu dog is… worthful.”
“What are.. you trying to say…?”
Widening his smug on his face then, Kazama moved closer to the indigo’s figure while leaving his kiseru on the windowsill.
When his enemy started to move slow, yet elegantly, Saitou felt an urged to move backward and so he did, until his back began to lean against the wall, letting himself getting entrapped by Kazama’s gorgeous figure. His strong and hard arm pinned on the wall as well as if the Demon wouldn’t let the younger man leaves him from somewhere else beside the chamber room.
There was a dark smug on the blonde-haired man’s face. But it wasn’t in malice or dangerous way actually. It was most likely to be… taken a deep interested on the younger man more and more. Using his free hand with raising Saitou’s chin to make sure their eyes collided into each other, Saitou finds his body paralyzed upon of seeing a dark expression from his enemy’s face. As if, the Demon had already put him a curse the moment he let the younger man’s eyes laid into the blonde-haired man.
When none of them make any move or speak a word, Kazama started first with tilting his head closer to Saitou so that he could taste the indigo’s soft lips once more. The Demon finds himself quite addicted on the younger man’s lips by now. The first thing Kazama ever wanted to do is obviously devoured the other man’s lips with non-stop. When Saitou finally gave the Demon a permission to deepen their kisses by opening his mouth wider, the blonde-haired man began to put his tongue into Saitou’s cavern then, tasting everything inside of the younger man’s small mouth. While he’s been focusing on kissing Saitou deeper, the indigo’s small hands began to move on his broad while the other was playing his gorgeous golden hair.
To think, a human such as Saitou would dare touch his gorgeous hair..
Parting his lips away from Saitou, hot breathes caressed on their faces each other, eyes filled with desire and lust. Once the Demon got enough air to move, he tilted his face to Saitou’s sensitive ear; lick, nibble, bite, and doing everything he can to torture Saitou’s cute and fragile ear. Each moan and whine that Saitou released often brings the Demon’s quite horny. He doesn’t usual get excited on anyone, not even a mere human or a demon woman. Though it usually depends on how deep interested the Demon of the West has toward to other person.
“K-Kazama…”
The way how the younger man moaned his name really brings Kazama excited even more. He growled under the indigo’s chin. Damn… stop seducing by whining his name as if he wants the Demon to pawn him on the tatami by now.. Reaching his limits, Kazama brings Saitou down on the futon and started to strip his yukata and so as himself. It was big enough for them to sleep together.
While watching the other man giving him a sweet pleasure, the indigo’s eyes wandered on Kazama’s free hand as he searched something in the drawer. After he finally found what he was looking for, Saitou’s eyes still gazed on a small bottle.
..Is that lubricate?
Moving down on Saitou’s private part, the Demon started licking and biting on Saitou’s curvy and attractive hip on seductively. Kissing on the bite mark that he left, in which, brings Saitou felt an urged to flush in red already. Once he has done another work on the other hip, Kazama opened the bottle to coating his fingers with jasmine-flavoured lubricate.
Putting his first finger on Saitou’s cute hole, his eyes gazed on the indigo’s lust face.
“Bakufu dog,” The Demon called. “Do you want to go a little further or not? We can stop right now.”
Stop? Now?
Is that Demon freakin crazy or something? Why at a time like this he has to stop? He should’ve stop before he stripped his clothes already..
Saitou’s answered was nothing except giving the Demon a glared of ‘Stop talking, just do it already’.
Once the blonde-haired man understood the other man’s answer, his smirk began to wide in amusing as he started to insert first finger inside Saitou’s deep hole.
The indigo replied with a soft, yet erotic moan. Not wanting to release more weird sound on his lips, Saitou put his palm of hands on his lips.
Crawling deep inside Saitou’s, Kazama began to add more when the other man has getting used to it until 3. The more fingers the Demon adding, the lewder Saitou’s voice has gotten become. As he continuedly thrusting Saitou’s inside deeper and deeper to find his prostate, not longer after then, the younger man’s mind turned white like a radiant of light, he let his voice slipped from his lips at that.
Feeling slightly confused, Saitou’s lusty eyes gazed on Kazama’s filled with curiousity.
“Wha.. what was…”
“So that’s where your prostate is.” Kazama replied with a wide smirk.
“Pro-prostate…?”
Too hazy to think of, the Demon started to thrust Saitou’s sensitive spot over and over until he can no longer moaned out anymore.
Once Kazama has taken out his fingers, he turned the indigo’s body around to make the position felt better. Exchanging his fingers to his manhood, the Demon began to insert it with a full-speed thrust.
Hearing Saitou’s half-pain and half-pleasure moaned, the Demon played his lips to distract from the pain, make sure the indigo focused on his lips only. As Saitou’s pain started to disappear slowly, Kazama started to pull out and entered it once more in a fast pace. Each thrusted gave Saitou released such a cute and sweet whine and moan.
The indigo wasn’t sure how did it happened between them. They’re meant to be enemies. And yet, this isn’t something kind of angry sex that Saitou has thought of. Instead, it was one of the most sweet and awesome sex that he’d experienced of compared to that night… he was expecting that the Demon was pretty aggressive and brutal in sex as well. But he was wrong. He was quite good on this kind of thing. He’s even a little gentle despite siding along with Satsuma-han.. …Or maybe he had slept with women that’s why he’s quite capable on it.
After several thrusted then, Saitou has finally reached his climax, giving a very last moaned on his lips, white liquid finally released. As soon as everything calmed down, he finds his body getting exhausted and not so long after this, he finds his head rested on the Demon’s muscular arm, in which, it took a right time for the Demon to put the indigo’s head on his.
Dawn’s coming. It took some times Saitou managed to wake himself up. Getting up from the futon, the indigo could hear a soft snore somewhere in the room. Taking a glanced on it, he finally found whoever snoring and it was none other than the Demon. The noble demon was having a good sleep. And Saitou couldn’t helped but finds the Demon’s sleeping look pleasant.
He still can’t believed how it turned out between them that night. There are many Demon’s words that he couldn’t figured out. Either of them doesn’t has to do with being enemies or their hatred to each other.
What could it be he wondered..?
Standing up from the futon, Saitou grabbed the yukata to warp around on his naked body before readying himself to get ready to take a shower and leave the Hidden Demon Village just as they promised.
-/-
And so, Saitou had finally changed himself into his usual black and plain kimono. Thanks to the servants from the Demon of the West’s manor, his clothes had a pleasant fragrance that reminds him of taking a break in the deep forest with a very soft breeze around him. Not wanting to cause the village in chaos, Saitou didn’t wear the Shinsengumi light-blue haori. Instead, he held it along with his headgear.
Once everything’s ready, Saitou searched the noble demon whom still enjoying a peace and quiet atmosphere at the porch while taking a sip a very strong Sake, although Kazama is not lightheaded as Hijikata is.
But still, since when had Kazama taken a shower actually..?
Ah… that’s right. This is a manor of course. The Demon probably own 3 or maybe 5 bathrooms actually.
While leaving those thought away, Saitou couldn’t helped but finding the Demon’s strong back quite attractive one. The longer he gazed on the other man’s back, he started realized he’s been wasting his time although he was suppose to return back to the Shinsengumi headquarter as soon as possible.
“I’m done.” Saitou spoke with his usual monotone voiced.
It took a moment then Kazama replied with muttering over something about… maybe the Sake wasn’t strong enough to drunk him? The Demon stood up from the porch and started to wear a haori with a family crest on the back.
“Should we go?”
The indigo replied with a nod as he started to walk at the back of the Demon’s in which, it reminded him of so much of following at the back of the Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi.
The thought of that man makes him eagerly to see the raven-haired man again.
Then again, what’s gonna happened to this man then…?
As the two men walked all the way to the gate of the Demon’s World, Saitou noticed how the Hidden Demon Village is a very peaceful one despite there’s going to have a war sooner or later. According from Kazama, he has to make sure the demons from the West lived in peaceful and make sure to avoid from joining a war, whether they’re warriors or no.
Beside from that, every time the Demon of the West passed to the other demons, the villagers gave him a bow in full of respected. By looking of it, there are a few villagers were quite admired the Demon, while several of them feared him as well.
So this is how being the Head of the Demon is like…
Almost like forever then, two men had finally arrived at the gate of the Demon World. A familiar red-headed man, Amagiri had been stood there since yesterday, taking a guess that it was his turn to keep an eyed on the village.
“Amagiri, I’m sending him off from this village. Keep an eyed on the village while I’m gone.”
Amagiri didn’t hesitated bowed him in full of respected as well, spoke with a very gentle that Saitou used to hear back when both of them were Hamaguri Gate.
“Of course, Kazama-sama. Saitou-kun, it’s good to see you here.”
“Ah yes… it’s good to see you as well.”
Saitou replied with his usual quiet tone, didn’t expected to speak with the red-headed man once more.
With that, Amagiri leaves the two men alone as they finally arrived at the gate of the Demon World that could reach to the Human’s World.
"Well, I think this is where we should part away by now. Times sure does flies very quickly between us," Kazama chuckled deeply at that.
Saitou nodded quietly, lowering his body slightly to show some manner, despite he is one of the most dangerous enemy in the Shinsengumi. After all, the Demon does saved him from that night. He should be grateful to have a savior such as him. Despite he can be a totally asshole and sarcastic Oni.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Kazama. I owe you for everything."
Despite the indigo spoke that, they eventually greet each other between swords rather than returning the Demon's kindness back.
Would he ever sees this kind of side from his enemy's again the next time?
...No.
There won't be next time anymore.
As much as he had a great desire to stay with the Demon longer, he knew that being someone like him is impossible. He’s a member of Satsuma-han, while the indigo’s belonged to the Shinsengumi. There’s no such thing as getting along with someone who’s from an enemy’s group.
"Your name?"
Saitou raised his face in perplexed at the sudden of question in which the noble Demon repeated once more.
"I suppose that it would be better if we introduce properly. ...Or maybe you won't mind me calling you Bakufu Dog then."
Kazama chuckled at that part. Being a sarcastic Oni as ever.
Saitou remained quiet then, tried to stand properly like an exotic statue, while his eyes were still gazed into the Demon's gorgeous figure. The indigo finally replied the Demon's question with his usual monotone voice yet hidden of gentle and determine one.
"Captain of the 3rd Division from Shinsengumi, Saitou Hajime."
"Saitou, huh?" Kazama whispered the indigo-haired man's name very softly. He couldn't helped but finds himself pleasing just whispering the younger man's name. He wondered what made him feels this way knowing that he had never take an interest on any human before.
But Saitou..
Saitou is different.
"My name is Kazama Chikage. As you may already know, I'm also a Pureblooded Demon from the West."
"You've already told me that."
Kazama replied with a smug on his face. Taking a few stepped in front of the indigo's figure and let his fingers played around Saitou's gorgeous indigo hair.
The quiet ronin couldn't helped but slightly shivered at the feeling of other man's fingers combing down his hair. None of man would ever dare played it before except
Hijikata.
And maybe Souji as well.
"The next time," Kazama began, fingers were still buried on the younger man's hair. "when our swords clash with each other, we won't be enemies from now on."
Slightly perplexed at the Demon's words, Saitou grabbed the Demon's wrist gesturing him to stop playing it, hesitatedly bowed in respectful once again before turning on his heel to leave the Demon's World.
Several steps later, his foot then stopped in stubbornly. It was as if, his selfish thought doesn’t want to leave this world yet. He wanted so much to stay with the Demon’s kind side a little longer. …or maybe forever. How could a strong enemy such as Kazama Chikage could treat him this way as if he was so special? Is there any reason why he would do that to the indigo’s
It wasn’t last long after then the Demon noticed how the younger man suddenly stopped in mid-walking.
"What's wrong?"
Saitou replied with a little hesitate and quite
"…Nothing.”
"That doesn't looks like nothing at all."
With that, the indigo remained quiet, didn't spoke anything else nor answering the Demon's question.
When the Demon’s footstep getting closer to Saitou’s, the indigo jumped slightly when the noble demon held his hand. It was as if his hand had a static.
The blonde-haired man gave his usual smug on his face as if he had read whatever behind on Saitou’s cold mask.
“I’ll take you back to the Shinsengumi headquarter.”
“Eh..?”
“What? This is what you wanted right? You’re going to miss me so much so the least you would like to see for the very last moment is bringing you to the headquarter, yes?”
“…I never said I’m going to miss you.”
“True. But what about your selfish thought?”
“…”
When Saitou didn’t replied anything, remaining silent as usual, Kazama gave a deep chuckled on his elegant lips.
“You know, you should try to be honest every once in a while, especially to me. After all, if our swords we won’t be enemies anymore.”
Being honest, huh…?
“How can you tell? You’re an ally of Satsuma-han, right? Why would you be friendly to your own enemy?”
“I have a certain reason why I’m siding with them. I won’t help the Satsuma-han that longer, however.”
At that, Saitou couldn’t helped but to blink at those words.
What..?
Does he meant, he never wanted to side Satsuma-han all this time?
Then why is he—
“Well, should we go?”
Saitou let his eyes wandered down on their feet. Biting his lower lips, he finally spoke:
“…I can’t.”
Kazama sighed. But before the noble demon could speak, Saitou began first.
“My legs are still sore from last night.”
There was a very long quiet moment between. It wasn’t awkward one actually. But the Demon was gapped like a fish to hear those words from the younger man’s soft lips. It wasn’t long after then, his shock and surprise expression on his face changed into half-wicked and amusing smirk on his gorgeous face.
“Oh? So that’s how it is.” Kazama gave a soft chuckled. “In that case, I have to carry you all the way to the Shinsengumi headquarter huh?”
Saitou replied with a nod. No words he needed to speak.
The Demon continued on smirking. Ah… so this is how Saitou’s being honest, huh?
The blonde-haired man started to carry the younger man in a bridal-styled, Kazama began to turn on his heels with his demon ability of superspeed. Despite how fast and quick the Demon is, to Saitou, it’s almost like the time between them was stop. As if the world was trying to let the indigo stays with him for a little longer whether he eventually kills him and vice versa. Snuggling his head closer on his broad-chested, Saitou couldn’t help but felt envy on him as to how the Demon had such a gorgeous body. Arms were strong and hard like a katana blade. His chest was broad and more muscular compare to himself. If the only he was born to have a same body as Kazama’s… would Hijikata ever finds him attractive by now. The thought of it it brings Saitou flushed in red from thinking the amazing Vice-Commander in his head.
It wasn’t last long after then they finally arrived at the Shinsengumi headquarter. Knowing that several members of the Shinsengumi mostly Fury Corps were taking a night shift, Kazama jumped off of the roof until they found the indigo’s room.
Putting the younger man’s body down on the wooden floor, Saitou could had a greatest desire to be closer with the Demon more and more. However, it’s impossible.
It’s unfair how both of them were meant to be enemies.
But…
“I have a certain reason why I’m siding with them”
Those words bothered Saitou slightly.
It wasn’t that long then the Demon’s voice snapped him back to the reality.
“Well then, this is our last time to see each other for today.”
“What do you mean by.. today?”
Does he meant he’s going to see him again? Here?
Kazama replied with a smirk as if Saitou asked one of a hilarious question he ever hears.
“Sort of..”
When no words express to each other then Saitou let his face gazed down on the floor, willing rather not to see the Demon disappeared in a thin of air in front of his face.
His expectation, however, was wrong. Instead of the Demon disappeared like a wind, Kazama lifted Saitou’s chin up so that their eyes could clashed each other and the next moment, their lips landed on each others.
His kisses were like a poison to him. Each kisses, nibbles and bites he received, he could felt his body, arms and legs are starting to numb. It was as if, the Demon has a special saliva that could make a human’s body weaken for several moments. It’s funny how the indigo loved how dominating the Demon is. Despite getting dominated by a sadistic demon, he enjoyed his lips getting tortured by the Demon’s aggressive lips.
There’s no doubt that Saitou’s definitely a masochist huh?
Each small whine and moan Saitou made brings Kazama excited even more as his kisses began turned into rougher and deeper than usually. His lips moved to Saitou’s sensitive ear, then sucking his chin, reached to adam’s apple. Before Kazama could untie the indigo’s obi, footsteps coming this way.
Kazama gave a growled in threatening to whoever the intruder is. But he let it be as he had satisfied devour Saitou’s fragile lips, and hearing his sweet and erotic moan.
“This world can be quite cruel, huh?” Kazama sighed. “Now then, I should take a leave by now. Let’s meet each other later and… have a sweet dream, Saitou.”
With that, the Demon presence has finally disappeared along with the winds. Although he was no longer here, Saitou could still felt the warmth feeling on his red and swollen lips. Caressed on his lips for the last time, he entered to his room and ignored other members of the Shinsengumi presence whom they gapped like a fish to see Saitou right there after all he had disappeared for almost like a week.
What matters him the most now about none other than Kazama Chikage.
Putting his head down on his pillow, his eyes gazed on the wooden ceiling above. To think, Saitou eventually no longer sees that man as an enemy anymore. Neither ally as well. He was more like… maybe between them? What might happened if Kazama hadn’t been the one that saved him? Would those members of Satsuma-han would locked him into the abandon shop for eternity? The thought of stuck with them brings Saitou’s true nightmare begins already.
“When our swords clashed into each other, we won’t be enemies anymore.”
What are those sentences meant?
Does the Demon doesn’t want to be his enemy as well? Wasn’t he despised of humans and their selfish goal? So why of all the person he chose, why him? Despite he is a mastery of iai, that doesn’t mean he’s one of an amazing soldier in Shinsengumi. The one that meant to be is none other than between Kondou and Hijikata of course. No one is better in samurai beside those two men.
Too tired of thinking too much about this, his eyes slowly fluttering closed as he started to fall into a deep sleep.
The last thing he saw before his slumber taking over him is a beautiful full moon at the night scenery with thousands of stars.

Alright! This is my first post of the month, so I’ll start by asking you to please support me if you can through my ko-fi, and paypal or patreon! Finally got my patreon back in order almost until the start of October though I now have a headache from translating so much lol! Sorry it took so long! Not sure what I’ll do for December yet as I’m considering translating just the 2020 CxM X-mas story and the only other Café Enchante content I have, and then subtitling the rest of the month... as I really would like to get a head-start on my 2023 queue (aka yuugiroku) and want time to get my video stuff out of the way. 
Also, I’m 100% certain that I’ll be shipping the Hakumyu Shinkai Saito-hen Blu-ray I’ve ordered this month since my proxy address has received the Morimyu CDs along with some other things that I was looking for, and I am getting super impatient... plus I helped my brother pre-order two FE3H figurines from Japan so anything else is going to be consolidated when shipping those.
Anyway. I ended up going with deciding to translate all of these Character Dramas... mainly because of Saito’s (obviously due to bias and bias>all :P), but most of them did make me smile while reading them... Slight angst warning for this one though cuz it’s souji hahaha. 
enjoy!
Hakuoki Character Drama CD Book Volume 1  Okita Souji-hen - Autumn Leaves Sentiments (not 100% bout the title name again)
Translation by KumoriYami
Act 1
Time: morning
Location: Bedroom
SE: the sound of sparrows
Yukimura:.....Nn.
【The sunlight stung me when I opened my eyes. The rain/storm windows [literally rain window] opened as they swayed, and chilling feeling from the autumn wind coming in,  reminded me that summer had passed.】
Yukimura: Huh? Why is the window open...
【I looked over to Souji-san, who should have been sleeping beside me.】
Yukimura; Eh? Souji-san, where did you go?
【I used my hand to check where Souji-san had slept in bed, but I wasn't able to feel any heat [word I have is 'temperature'], so it seems like he hadn't just left. As I hurriedly got up, someone from behind suddenly stopped me. 】
Okita: Ah, you're already up. You could have slept a while longer.
【Hearing that familiar voice, I turned my head and saw Souji-san, who was apparently in a good mood.】
Yukimura: Souji-san! Where did you go in your night clothes [alt: pajamas, but given the time period 'night clothes' felt more appropriate...]?
Okita: I woke up too early. After seeing your cute sleeping face, I thought of this..... here, for you.
【As he spoke, Souji-san decorated my hair with something.】
Yukimura: ? What is this...?
Okita: They're Momiji leaves [the tl i use translates to "red autumnal leaves", but since "紅葉 " is in the JP title, I'll be using that term, “momiji”, which are Japanese maple trees.]. The last time I picked wild vegetables with you, I found a maple tree. Afterwards, I realized that it was almost time for the maple leaves to be in season. Actually I originally wanted to come home before you got up to scare you, but that unfortunately failed.
【Once he said that, Souji-san stuck out his tongue with a mischievous expression. Seeing that expression, I couldn't say that I felt uneasy because he had left me by myself...】
Yukimura: Really.... in that case, shouldn't you have left a note?
【Souji-san showed an apologetic expression to me, who was a little angry.】
Okita: Sorry, I was only thinking about making you happy when I went out. As an apology, after finishing breakfast, I'll bring you to see the maple tree.
【With that, Okita-san pressed his index finger over his mouth, as if he were he were keeping a secret.】
Yukimura: hehe, I understand. Then let's go after eating breakfast, and once I finish drying our wet clothes [I'm assuming this is supposed to be "laundry"].
Okita: Eh, if you want to dry the laundry, you can do it tomorrow. I want to show you right away. It really is very pretty. The tree is dyed in red and yellow, it really resembles a dessert/almost like a snack.
Yukimura: I'm looking forward to it, but I must hang my clothes well before going. More importantly, isn't it cold outside? You'll catch a cold when you go in your night clothes.
Okita: Ah, speaking of which, it did seem a bit cold. Because all I was thinking about was the momiji leaves, I didn't notice it that much. But you don't need to worry, I'm fine.
Yukimura: The next time you go out, you must remember to change your clothes.
Okita: Nn, I'll change my clothes then. I don't want to make you worry.... Haaah [this is a yawn. i don't know what's the best sfx text to use], maybe I got up too early this morning, Maybe I got up too early in the morning, I'm still sleepy.
Yukimura: Then go to sleep for a bit, alright? I'll go prepare breakfast, I'll wake you up once it's ready.
Okita: Nn, that so. But, it's fine to have breakfast a little later, come and sleep with me.
【With that, Souji-san pulled my hand and tried to pull me back under the covers.】
Yukimura: But, I'm already awake...
Okita; If you can't sleep, just stay with me until I fall asleep before leaving.
Yukimura: In that case, won't we be too late to see the momiji leaves?
Okita: Oh, how bothersome. Then I'd better get up and get changed.
Yukimura: Then I'll go change and go prepare breakfast.
Okita: Ah, wait.
【With that, Okita-san put his hand on my head.】
Okita: Good morning.
【He smiled at me.】
--------
Act 2
Time: Noon
Location: Outside
SE: footsteps
Okita: Autumn is coming. You're right, wind is getting colder outside. Aah, I won't be able to take a nap in the sun soon.
【As Souji-san walked, he expressed his regret that summer was coming to an end.】
Yukimura: Ah, Souji-san truly loves taking naps on the grass.
Okita: Nn. It's fine now, but it's not doable in the winter. Although sleeping in a room isn't bad, it's more comfortable to sleep outside [when/where] the wind is blowing.
Yukimura: Speaking of which, while we were still in Kyoto, you would often take naps /
Okita: Indeed. At the time I often took naps on the roof to hide from the annoying HIjikata-san. Ahaha, I haven't fallen down even once.
Yukimura: Sleeping on the roof... Don't do that sort of danger thing in the future again.
Okita: I won't. Because I don't need to sneakily hide around like that anymore, and rather want you to take more care of me.
Yukimura: Really... Souji-san is always like this...
【As I spoke, I stared at Souji-san. There was something I always wanted to say to him... so I might as well take the opportunity...】
Okita: Since you're staring at me, is there something wrong?
Yukimura: Well, I find taking it's very comfortable to take a nap, but if you take too many naps, won't you be unable to sleep at night?
Okita: I'm glad that you're worrying about me, but I'll still be able to fall asleep. Because as long as you're lying down next to me, I can fall asleep immediately if I hold onto you. Don't you think so?
Yukimura: That's right.
Okita: As long as I'm holding you as you sleep/If I sleep with you in my arms, I will always fall asleep immediately. That way, even when it comes time for us to part, I feel that I'll always be with you... such a thing is obviously impossible.
【With that, Souji-san held my hand that he was tightly holding even tighter. His hand was gentle and soft, and I grasped his hand.】
Okita: I'm so happy that I'm able to walk with hand in hand with you like this, it's terrifying. We'll be there soon, so don't let go of my hand.
Yukimura: Yes!
-time lapse-
【After a while, we reached the momiji trees.】
Yukimura; Wow, how beautiful!
【The entire tree was adorned with red maple leaves, and looked truly unreal.】
Okita: Rights, it's really beautiful.
【Souji-san wasn't looking at the momiji leaves, but rather at me, and his expression seemed very satisfied. [reword later. the sentence structure is screwed up... but im lazy and have a tendency to follow what the tl does until i need to worry about subtitling]】
Okita: That's great. I just wanted to see you with that expression.
Yukimura: Thank you, Souji-san. You brought me to see such beautiful momiji.
【After expressing my thanks, Souji-san revealed a smile, and he finally looked towards the maple trees.】
Okita:....Ah, you may not remember, but this isn't the first time we've gone together to enjoy momiji. A long time ago... although I don't remember the exact time, but on the way back from a patrol, I brought you to mountains in Kyoto. At the time, while it was only the two of us, the feeling was completely different from now.
Yukimura;....I remember. It was quite windy that day, but the maple leaves were also very beautiful.
【Okita-san seemed to be startled by what I said. It seems that he didn't think I would have remembered. Then, Souji-san sat beneath a huge momiji tree and waved to me, so I sat down next to him. 】
Okita: I'm certain, that during that time, I started paying attention to you because you were the first person to listen to my jokes... No, it was just Kondou-san and you.
Yukimura:........
Okita: I didn't expect to recall that upon seeing these momiji, and how I would always say mean things to you. I hope you can forget that, at look at how I am now.
Yukimura: No, I won't forget that. Because that's an important memory from before I met Souji-san and when we lived here together.
Okita: That's really amazing, since you put it that way, it seems that it's become a very important memory.... Well, it's not that there are no memories that you want to forget. But the time we spent together with everyone is still firmly kept in my mind [reword later?].
【With that, Souji-san placed a hand over his chest, and I put my hand over his.】
Yukimura: Please don't forget any of your memories. Because we've been able to live together like this today, all of those memories have accumulated.
Okita:....Well, yeah. No that won't do, I always let you see how weak I am. In fact, I want you to depend on me a bit more.
Yukimura: I am always depending on Souji-san. I'm able to live peacefully in my hometown now because Souji-san is here.
Okita; I'm happy that you're able to say that.
【With that, Souji-san lifted his head and looked at the momiji.】
Okita: Let's go back after looking at these for a while. I really like looking at stuff together with you like this.
Yukimura: Nn, I like that too.
【Thus, the two of us snuggled up together and looked up at the momiji.】
--------
Act 3:
Time: Evening
Location: Bedroom
【After making the bed, I used one of the momiji leaves I had picked as a bookmark. At that moment, Souji-san came in from behind. 】
SE: Footsteps
Okita; What are you doing?
Yukimura: I want to make something out of the momiji leaves we brought back today as a souvenir/memento...
【As I said this, I put the maple leaf into the book that was in my hands. As a result, in order to not interfere [tl is 'disturb' or 'bother'] Souji-san hugged me from behind...】
Okita: As a souvenir from today, is it. If only we could ? I wish we could commemorate more [things like this] for just the two of us in the future/["I wish we could create more memories for the two of us in the future".... i suppose would work?].
【As he spoke, Souji-san gazed sleepily at the book that the leaf had been put into it. Seeing him like this, I knew what he was thinking.】
Yukimura:  We'll be together in the future, won't we?
【To alleviate my uneasiness, I said something like that.】
Okita: Nn, we'll always be together.
【Souji-san only said one sentence, and smiled.】
Okita: Okay, let's go to sleep. [I/We. got no subject in this sentence..] walked a lot today, and seem to be quite tired.
Yukimura: Okay.
【With that, we laid down together. After putting out the light, I closed eyes, but drowsiness didn't come... just then, Souji-san suddenly spoke. 】
Okita: Hey, are you asleep?
【Hearing Souji-san's words, I opened my eyes.】
Yukimura: No
Okita; Before falling asleep, I want to ask you something. Getting up in the morning... going for a walk together after eating breakfast, eating together, and then falling asleep like this...
What do you think of such an ordinary day?
【In the face of Souj-san's slightly impatient question, I thought of my response for a moment. 】
Yukimura: I think it's just because it's so normal, that's why its a very important day. I'm very happy to be able to live peacefully with Souji-san like this.
Okita: hehe, it's great that you can say that. But I think differently.
【With that, Souji-san patted my head.】
Okita:  Being able to spend my days peacefully with my lover/spouse, is already extraordinary for me. Every day when I wake up, you're right beside me, eating the meals you've cooked together, walking with you while holding your hand, and sleeping with you... For me, everything is already a miracle.
I want to spend every day with you together like this.
【Perhaps seeing the unease in my heart, Souji-san deliberately spoke in a gentle words to reassure me. 】
Yukimura: I love you, Souji-san.
Okita: Nn, I love you too
【After that, he gently kissed my forehead. Listening to Souji-san's words, my mind was at ease, and I finally closed my eyes. I could vaguely hear Souji-san's voice.... 】
Okita: Good night, see you tomorrow.
【I fell fast asleep】
Starring: Okita Souji.... Morikubo Showtaro  
-----------------------------
Like the Hijika one I translated for last week, I put in the -san suffix everywhere I though it would likely go. This is also going to be the last time I mention this... cuz I’m lazy.

Hakuoki Yuugiroku 2 - Sanosuke Sakura Epilogue
hrm... im debating looking at buying some of the Shinkai Reimeiroku drama cds when they come out... but if I do that, it’ll push back when my BD order of Souma-hen arrives (i refuse to pay for shipping twice when their release dates are so close together)... and i know i’m a bit interested in kazama being in a reimeiroku drama because of the timeline tho id definitely choose to do that in a heartbeat if there was a drama with both Serizawa and Kazama on it. lol. decisions, decisions.
anyway, this is my 2nd translation from this game this month and this is the Sanosuke version of the 『 恋染めし日』 story which im fairly certain happens before his last Edo Blossoms chapter... images used in this post were snips from my vita capture vids.
Tumblr media
Hakuoki Yuugiroku 2 - Sanosuke Sakura Epilogue
Translation by KumoriYami
Tumblr media
The sakura were no longer in full bloom, and would now vividly scatter as they were carried away by the wind. 
The light red petals [tl i have is for red] from the above branches spread across/formed a thin layer on the ground.......
We were admiring this blanket of sakura that had scattered about.
Chizuru: Sanosuke-san, the sakura season will soon be over/is coming to its end.
Tumblr media
Harada: That’s right. From the looks of it/At this rate, in about two or three days/in a few days, these sakura will begin to sprout leaves.
Ever since the snow melted, and when/once we could feel the warmth of spring from the sun/sunlight/shine, we've been visiting here everyday.
We found the first buds today. 
Today we saw a perched cuckoo.
These buds are starting to bloom/about to bloom..
The first flower finally blossomed——.
Each/Every time we came here, Sanosuke-san and I would talk about these subjects, and it was just the other day/a few days ago when the sakura finally bloomed.
Tumblr media
Harada: We waited so long for them to blossom, but they don't stay in bloom for long.
Chizuru: Yes/That’s true......
As I gently touched a (nearby)/the (nearby) trunk, I could feel the slight heat from where the tree had been exposed to the sunlight.
Then, as if to ascertain my thoughts/grab my attention /check on me, Sanosuke-san's hand was holding mine.
Tumblr media
Harada: Is something wrong/What’s wrong, Chizuru?
Chizuru: No. When Sanosuke-san and I came here today, earlier you said...... That you were thinking about how the beauty of sakura has remained unchanged even though we’ve left our homeland and had come to this foreign country [i give up rewording this so that its more condensed for now]. 
Tumblr media
Harada: That’s right....... but, I feel that I've profited quite a bit. 
Chizuru: Profited?
Tumblr media
Harada: Yeah. The sakura blooming season would have already ended in Kyo or Edo/Edo by now....... So don't you think it's great that we're able to see sakura at this time, even while this far north/even while we're this far up north?
Chizuru: Fufu. 
Hearing Sanosuke-san's childish words, I couldn't but help but smile.
Unlike Japan, sakura are not seen everywhere in this northern land.
While I felt a sense of nostalgia as I looked towards the southern skies, Sanosuke-san suddenly got down onto the ground.
Harada: Hei...... yo [basically allez-oop, mais, je ne peux pas penser à un équivalent]. 
(he lies down)
Tumblr media
Chizuru: Sa-Sanosuke-san? What are you doing?
Harada: Ah, this is more comfortable than I thought. You should try lying down too. 
Chizuru: Ex-Excuse me then......
Tumblr media
As I boldly lay on the on the ground that was covered in sakura, I could see how the petals accumulated as they fluttered together. 
After lying down like Sanosuke-san said, I looked up towards the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim/marvel at this beautiful view.
Chizuru: Wow...... Look, Sanosuke-san. It's like a rain of sakura......
Harada: Although we come here to see the sakura whenever we have time these days... It’s quite refreshing to see them from a different perspective/angle. You get to see what you normally wouldn’t see.
The were sakura that had fallen onto the ground around me, and there were sakura dancing in the sky.
The petals falling from the sky made the sakura feel like snow as they began piling up over me......
The moment I was buried/covered in this snow of sakura, just as I was about to close my eyes, a shadow suddenly fell over me.
Tumblr media
Chizuru:!?
(he kisses Chizuru. i think. i clipped the pics for this when vlc was muted on account of recording sound)
Tumblr media
Harada: You're too/so defenseless, Chizuru.
Chizuru:......Surprise attacks are unfair. 
I hadn’t even realized when he had gotten up. 
Sanosuke-san, who was supposed to be lying down next to me, showed a proud expression, as I protested with my stolen lips. 
Harada: Didn't I tell you before that I would kiss you if I ever caught you off-guard?
Chizuru: Did you ever say that......?
I tried to remember those words, but I didn't think it mattered anymore.
Sanosuke-san smiled and continued to speak. 
Harada: "Well, it's because you look like that, that I want to kiss you/you're showing such an expression makes me want to kiss you. If you don't want that, shouldn't you not be showing me such an adorable expression/shouldn't you stop showing such an adorable expression to me?
Seeing how Sanosuke-san had a childish/mischievous expression, I whispered softly.
Chizuru:......I can't do that/That's impossible.
Harada:......?
Chizuru: Because I want Sanosuke-san to love me even more/more and more.
Ever since I started living with Sanosuke-san, I have probably become more selfish/willful.
As if to embrace the sky and sakura, I laid down and spread my arms.
Harada: If you say something like that, how can I not cherish you even more?
While taking Sanosuke-san into my outstretched arms, I sighed happily.
continued chatting
bring this to an end <-
——A moment later.
After getting off the blanket of sakura, we faced one another again beneath the sakura. [reword later? i can’t figure out to make this less wordy].
Tumblr media
Harada: So, what now? Do you want to continue talking/chatting here?
Chizuru: N-No, let's go home now!
I spoke quickly as I desperately tried to hide the redness of my face.
Although I would have loved to continue watching the sakura, I was/felt too embarrassed to now......
While I didn't expect anyone to come here, if someone really did, I wouldn’t be able to go outside/wouldn't dare to leave the house ever again.
Tumblr media
Harada: Then, let's/we'll continue this next time.
Chizuru: When will that next time be?
Tumblr media
Harada: Hm? If you want, it can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Chizuru: Yes. Let’s come again before the sakura have completely scattered.
Tumblr media
In the days to come, how many times will be able to talk beneath the sakura trees before the sakura fall/scatter...
As I pondered this question, we left this place.
---End---

Hakuoki Hana no Shou Yamazaki After Story Translation
My attempt at translating the 「薄桜鬼 真改 華ノ章」ステラワース早期予約特典 ブロマイド  山崎烝 - Hakuoki Shinkai Hana no Shou Stellaworth Early Reservation Bonus Yamazaki Susumu short story from Chinese to English. 
Finally got around to finishing this... and honestly, after Saito, I like Yamazaki the most (for me, hijikata is 3rd for the feels trip, kazama is 4th for the lore and angst while harada is 5th). He’s just so adorable.... and I think his route is very sweet. Also I love how Shimada is when watching Yamazaki and Chizuru lol. 
Tumblr media
^pic is me wanting to post this for no real reason aside from it being cute.
Anyway here’s my last post of the month so if you can, support me on ko-fi here plz~ https://ko-fi.com/V7V2W0HO also check out my “stuff i’m looking for list” if you own any cds since i am missing audio for a number of dramas i have Chinese translations for....
oh, and happy labour day weekend (well, to those that it applies to). Still really busy rn btw....
enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hakuoki Shinkai Hana no Shou Stellaworth Early Reservation Bonus Yamazaki Susumu After Story
Translation by KumoriYami
Yamazaki Susumu who had served as a member of the Shinsengumi's Watch/been a member of the Watch as part of the Shinsengumi for a long period of time, had been a doctor at the Yukimura clinic for half a year. And during one night——
Yamazaki, who was left alone in the clinic, heard/sensed a door open behind him.
"Susumu-san."
Looking back, standing there was his beloved wife —— Yukimura Chizuru.
"Do you want to take a break? Last night you were also reading late....
Her large eyes were full of anxiety. She looked very worried about Yamazaki.
Although he was very grateful for her taking care of him...
"Now isn't the time to sleep, I still need to remember the basics of LanXue/Western studies as quickly as possible, and I won't feel sleep at night.
[I left the term Lan Xue "蘭學” here since I'm not entirely sure of my interpretation of the phrase and put in "Western studies" since I recall that term from the game... which kinda seems to fit? Anyway, according to Wikipedia that was put through google translate, Lan Xue "refers to the Japanese Edo period by the Dutch incoming general term for Japanese academic, cultural, technological, academic literally Netherlands, the idea could be interpreted as the Western academic (referred to as oceanography ). Lanxue is a kind of learning developed by the Japanese through exchanges with the people of the island. Lanxue allowed the Japanese to understand Western technology and medicine during the period of the Edo Shogunate policy (1641-1853)." This was taken directly from from https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/蘭學.]
Yamazaki knows well that the books/studies he needs for the future will not be about Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but rather Western medicine based on LanXue/Western studies.
That said, it's not easy to understand the literature/words of a foreign country, so it is necessary to decrease [the time spent] resting to learn/study.
Chizuru, she should understand his way of thinking——.
"Please rest today."
Her admonishing tone in her speech left Yamazaki at a loss/ perplexed Yamazaki..
".....What’s going on? You wouldn't normally say that, would you?"
".............."
Her expression sank for a bit. Finally, she spoke....
"I think Susumu-san is as if he were back in the past, and I can't help but feel uneasy."
"In the past... like that?"
"Yes. Not only do you stay awake at night and give me the feeling that you were always fighting for the Shinsengumi... [it] felt that [you] were eager to die."
Hearing such an accusation without warning, Yamazaki could not say a second sentence.
However ——.
(Since I was watching my Chizuru all the time, there shouldn't be anything wrong/things should be okay) [says 我的千鶴 which is my Chizuru]
Looking back at his actions in the past months, Yamazaki deeply reflected on himself/his actions.
“Sorry, I worried you. However I'm definitely not in a hurry to die...."
His words stopped half-way. Chizuru (then) urged/pressed him [to continue] as she tilted her head.
What he said afterwards was really embarrassing, but if he didn't speak, he wouldn't be able to eliminate/dispel her worries/concerns.
"Do you remember the other day when Ibuki's wife brought their child over to play?"
"Yes, I remember it well. That child is very like his mother, truly cute/adorable."
"Seeing that child, I though: I can't allow these children to die before they grow up."
Although not all Western culture was good, he believed that Western medicine at least could help many people suffering from diseases.
"Susumu-san...."
Chizuru's eyes were full of admiration.
Then, she squinted her eyes and smiled.
"I think it's a very good idea. I also want to help my husband Susumu-san."
"Ye, yes...."
She spoke so bluntly, Yamazaki couldn't help but be confused and realized he could not remain calm.
When he heard this sentence (alt: these words) from Chizuru's lips [says mouth but I think it sounds better this way], he thought - it's truly wonderful that I chose her (alt: this might say - it's truly wonderful that she chose him) [this part of the sentence lacks pronouns... so it can be technically can be interpreted 2 ways].  
"But today please rest. It's not easy to get used to getting up in the morning and sleeping at night.... and lack of sleep can cause a misdiagnosis.
In actuality, he wanted to read more tonight....
“I know, today I will listen to you.  After all, when it comes to Western medicine, you are (my) senpai/predecessor.”
Yamazaki said that as he looked [alt: gestured, though i’m not entirely sure here] over the books.
"No, how can I be your senpai/predecessor...! I have nothing to teach Susumu-san."
"Don't be so humble. I was helped a lot by you when studying/learning Western studies.”
It's the truth, but to Chizuru, it was a very embarrassing compliment.
When he cleaned up his disk, Yamazaki thought of something.
“Speaking of which/by the way, we were just talking about Ibuki's child...”
"Yes. He is a very lovely child."
"Ah, yes.... ah. But, uh...."
Yamazaki was unable to truthfully speak about what he wanted to talk about, thus he hesitated.
Confused by his appearance, Chizuru blinked and asked.
"What's wrong? Is there something that you're worried/concerned about?"
"No, it's not...."
If spoken, would she misunderstand? This doubt kept Yamazaki quiet.
"If you want to say something, please speak. I want to know what you are thinking."
Having been urged by her, Yamazaki made up his mind to speak his thoughts.
"That.... I want/think (that) we should really consider it....."
"Consider, yes —— "
Because there wasn't an immediate indication of understanding what it meant, Chizuru looked/seemed lost for a while, then....
"Well..."
When she understood what Yamazaki wanted to say, her face was flushed. . “Oh, no! I don't mean to force you! Because it's an important time, and it's not too late to think about it before the clinic is developed.....!”
As he explained  in a panic, Chizuru spoke up.
".......I will think about it."
Her ears were red. After that, she stood up and left the study.
Only Yamazaki was left in the room.
(She said 【will consider】 does that mean....)
She is willing? Or does that mean she doesn't agree?
After that, no matter how he asked again, he did not get a clear response causing Yamazaki to spend countless nights in anguish. [:3 fufufu lol]
-fini- 
————
cyar all next month... still busy rn.... only 3 (harada, souji, heisuke) of these short stories are left from what I have been able to find... 
anyvey, i had to go and bawl my eyes out (not really, but i mean it figuratively, lol) since I finally got around to watching the Shitan Kazama-hen musical.... As a result of that, I’m now super motivated to work on my song transpositions from the original one.... as my motivation for doing arrangements was more than  dead once i lost my work since timing is seriously my bane when working on any music stuff... so hopefully i’ll be able to finish something within the next month.
再见!

Hey can I ask you something? This been in my mind for a long time since Hakuouki SSL Live Action released. Do you really think there's a chance to have SSL stage play in musical ver(like Hiji-hen, Hei-hen, Sano-hen, etc). At first, I used to thought it won't be. But I really looking forward to see it if they ever make it. Also, do you think Shinkai guys(Yamazaki, Sannan, etc) get a musical stage as well? Sorry if I ask too much, but thanks for answering my curious questions~
Maybe? They seem to be keeping SSL stage-only though, which is fine. I think they’re trying not to compete with the Hakuouki musicals already existence and make their own productions. I’ll be seeing the new Saitou route SSL play in April so hopefully if it does well they’ll do more of the other routes ^^
As for the musicals, I would love for them to continue and bring in the Shinkai routes as well, but I dunno, I can’t see them continuing after Sano-hen but I hope that’s just me being pessimistic. Ticket sales seem to be doing well, but Marvelous may want to move onto other things given their sloppy handling of things with HakuMyu over the past year or so. 
There is always hope though! So don’t give up. As long as the fans support it, I’m sure they will make more productions.
