Okita Souji, captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi of Kyoto, and assistant to Vice-Commander Hijikata Toshizou. I was born in Edo, though.

[...]

And I'm twenty-two. Funny how I never figured that out.

There are a lot of people who are important to me here, but there are a lot of people important to me at home, too. And promises I made - to my friends, to my superiors, to myself - that I can't break. So I'm going to go back, and I'm going to bring Digit with me. I hope he and Saizo don't fight. But I'll be back, I'll come to visit everyone. And if you want to come to Kyoto, there'll be rooms, and I'll show you around the city. I know where all the best sweets shops are, too ♥

Umm... probably tomorrow. Maybe the day after. I still have to say goodbye to everyone, and make sure the shop is taken care of.

[He pauses thoughtfully]

...Do you think it would be alright to bring Digit home, too?

[He nodded once again.] That's reasonable. [Yamazaki himself could have probably been ready to go within a couple hours; it was just a matter of collecting what possessions he wanted to take. There were only a small handful of people that he was at all concerned with saying goodbye to. But he'd wait for the other man.

At Okita's question he hesitated, then glanced away momentarily.] ...I'm taking Taichou.

[Souji grinned a little at that]

I'll take Digit too, then. We can tell Hijikata-san we found them as strays. I know he won't argue with me. And I'll keep them from fighting with Saizo.

[Yamazaki hmph-ed slightly in amusement.] I don't think he'd believe I willingly brought a stray home. Perhaps you should claim responsibility for both of them.

[...And if he and Okita ended up separated by three years again, well, he'd just have to tell the Vice Commander that a dog followed him home and wouldn't leave. Which would in fact be entirely true.]

[Souji laughed - it did seem a little unbelievable.]

I guess I could~ He'd probably kind of angry, though.

[...Not that... that thought particularly fazed him]

[He'd been half-teasing, but if Okita was willing to take on the brunt of the blame, Yamazaki wasn't going to argue. And the Vice Commander was normally kind of angry, but he didn't feel it was necessary to point that out.]

...Please let me know when you're ready to leave, then.

[...Teasing? From Yamazaki? Of course Souji didn't catch it. He nodded, though]

I will. And I'll get everything ready to give to you, too.
