Since I'm at work and can't draw anything I'm making a headcanon post to just spew shit about my gk ocs LOL

Kume Hijikata and Arata Hijikata are born 1885 in Kyoto. Their father the son of Toshizo with Okoto. (Historically they were arranged to be married, but Hijikata had already resigned himself to the Roshigumi, therefore making his son a bastard out of wedlock. In this lore it's implied Okoto and Hijikata loved each other, and had made love at least once.)

They are raised in Kyoto, only moving to Tokyo after Kume's acceptance to the peeress school. Kume and Arata live with a family friend, Mokutaro Kikuta. Arata joins the Military. Kume meets and befriends Kaeko.

Arata and Kume meet Sugimoto, Kikuta has them prepare Sugimoto for the wedding interview. After the plan goes awry, they go their separate ways. Kume has multiple wedding interviews that are ultimately fruitless due to her boyish appearance and as Tsurumi would note "her violent eyes would turn the fiercest away" Kume drops from the Peeress School in 1904 suddenly.

STILL WORKING SHIT OUT FOR HER BROTHER BUT YOU KNOW, subject to change!!

Arata serves in the 7th division during the war in 1904, but is killed in action shortly after enlistment. Prior to his death he reunited with Sugimoto, and lamented about a "golden curse" on his family.

It is unknown how Arata discovered the search for gold, but in his writings, he claims to have discovered the startings of a plot but had no evidence to present to the central government. Not realizing Tsurumi was the spearhead of this search, Arata confided in him with his findings.
