hakuouki[chapter 27]

When you woke up during the morning you found your self in your room and realized that Hijikata must have brought you here since you fell asleep. You left your room and went to the room where everyone was sitting down and eating breakfest. "Morning everyone.'' You said as you sat inbetween Shinpachi and Sanosuke. "Good morning sis.'' Chizuru said as she put your breakfest in front of you then went over and sat next to Saito who smiled warmly at her and then held her hand making her blush. You looked over at Hijikata. "Hijikata sorry that I fell asleep while I kept an eye on you and that you had to carrying me to my room.'' "Its ok I didnt mind and thank you for your kindness last night.'' "Huh what did Sayori do for you Hijikata?'' "I ended up having one of those blood lust attacks last night and Sayori was kind enough to help me pass it as she comforted me and cleaned the sweat off me.'' Hijikata said to Kondo. "Well that was nice of you to do Sayori.'' You smiled at Kondo. Seijuro soon entered the room while holding his head with his right hand as he sat down once he got some breakfest. "Good morning Hiko how are you feeling this mornng?'' Heisuke asked him. Hearing Seijuro moan as he still held his head answered Heisuke's question. Seijuro was not having a good morning at all. "Thats what you get for drinking to much last night Master I warned you that you were going to have a bad headache the next day but you didnt listen and now your paying for it.'' Your Master gave you a dirty look but didnt say anything since he knew you were right. Once you finished eating you stood up. "Im going to be out in the training area practing my sword so none of you bother me.'' You left the room after saying that. "Sayori must still be upset from seeing her ex lover and is trying to take her mind off of it by practing her skills.'' "Your probably right Heisuke so why dont you go and talk to her, cheer her up.'' "I want to but you heard her she dont want anyone to bother her Shinpachi.'' "Just leave her be if any of you try and comfort her you will just make her more upset about the situation with her ex lover.'' Seijuro said to your friends. "My sister does she still love him?'' "Yes she does that is why she couldnt kill him when she came face to face with him she does have strength when it comes to her fighting but when it comes to strength of heart she dont have it, as long as she still harbors those feelings towards that man then she will never be able to kill him.'' "Then we will protect her.'' Saito said. "None of you stand a chance against that demon called Kazama hes more stronger then any of you could ever be even if some of you are now what they call furies you still wont be able to beat him with that strength only demons who are full blooded demons can kill each other.'' Seijuro showed a serious look. "There is something that I want to tell you all, last night I asked Sayori to come back with me to where I live and begin her training again until shes strong in heart to face Kazama and compared to you all she is more safe with me then any of you.'' Hearing that shocked everyone. "You cant take Sayori-chan she belongs here.'' "It is not my choice to make Souji its Sayori's choice.'' Souji gave Seijuro a dirty look but didnt say anymore instead he left the room to find you. He went to where you were. You saw him walking towards you. "Okita I thought I told you and the others not to bother me as I train.'' Souji didnt say anything at first until he was standing right in front of you. "Your Master told us about what he asked you last night.'' "He did huh I kinda figured he did from the look you had on your face when I saw you.'' "Tell me Sayori-chan will you really leave dont you have enough trust in me and the others to protect you against Kazama.'' "I do trust all of you how ever none of you can fight him hes to strong for any of you to take on, I am the only one who can face him hes my problem not yours or the others.'' "He is my problem.'' Souji touched your hand and held it in his. "He is my problem because you and me are together in this dont you remember what we said to each other that we would always stay by each others side and what ever problems we face, we face it together thats what it means for us to stay with one another.'' "I havent forgotten that Okita but I cant bear the thought of you dying, if he ever killed you then that is something that I could never except I would never be able to get over that.'' Souji smiled. "You really care about me alot dont you Sayori-chan.'' You blushed. "Dont get the wrong idea Okita I only care about you as a friend ok so dont try and jump to conclusions.'' Souji chuckled at your reaction but in a small part of his heart he felt kinda hurt from you saying that. "Um Okita there has also been something else bothering me besides the thingwith Kazama.'' "Whats that?'' You looked around. "Its not really good to talk out here others might be listening so lets go to my room.'' Souji followed you to your room. "So what else is on your mind?'' "The night when we had that mission before I met Kazama I met a guy who went by the name Karou and much to my suprise he had the same face as Chizuru, as he talked to me I found out that hes actually Chizuru's twin brother and in truth me and Chizuru are not sisters nor is the man we called father our real father, Kaoru told me I come from another clan that is supposly more powerful then the Yukimura clan.'' "Do you belive anything he told you?'' You smiled a sad smile. "I really dont know its alot to take in but if what he said is true then what demon clan am im from?''
