Even a samurai heart may change
  
Red leaves were trembling in the wind. The air was filled with the smell of
rain. The year came to a close end.

Inside the dojo, standing in between the trees, there were two persons who fight
each other.
"Ma, ma, You have become better, Hajime-kun."
"Not really. You just let your guard down."
"Huh? Do you think so?"
"It doesn't matter what I think. Just do what you like it."
"What about a real fight this time? Not using the bokken (wooden sword)?"
Saito looked at his opponent with sharp eyes.
"Fine. But do not blaming me for get you hurt."

Both of them went back to their start position. In a blink of an eye the battle
between those great swordsmen has started. Long time no one seems to be the
winner, but just then Saito used an opening from Okita to pin him at the wall
behind him.
"Won't you kill me, Hajime-k..." He stopped , cause there was something on his
lips that didn't let speak. Saitos scent was so intense, that Okita just close
his eyes. Not to be carried away by it. The moment Okita tried to reach Saitos
chest with his hands , Saito suddenly pushed him aside and left.
Souji back there blushed, because he was really surprised by Saitos sudden and
very shy kiss. 

'Why did he do that? And why is beating my heart so hard?'
His thoughts were interrupted by a knocking from the door.
"Okita-san, are you in there. I brought you some tea. I'm going inside."
At the moment Chizuru saw Okitas face, she were worried because she never saw
this kind of expression before.
"Are you alright? Okita-san?"
Instead of giving her an answer , he glared at her like he would take his words
(for killing her) for the first time seriously.
Icy blood ran down her back.
"Also … I left the cup of tea here. Excuse me." She went off.
Souji's feeling were unsettle so he thought about it again and again.
In the noon it's started raining. Okita went looking for Saito. He owed him an
explanation.
"Hey, Hajime-kun. What was this , what you did just before you leaving."
"Nothing." And he turned around and just opened the Shoji door , as Okita drawn
his kodachi and throw it next Saitos head. 
Saitos reacted immediately unshielded his katana. And leaned his blade at Okitas
throat. Souji gulped, but Saito stopped at the moment the bell for dinner began
to ring.
While the sun melt down in the ocean, the ten captains and the three commander
of the Shinsengumi have their dinner. 
Souji was really pissed off by Saito's behavior, so he glared at him with a
deadly sense of murderer lust. Saito answered his glance. Cold and very
distanced.
After dinner at the late evening Saitou went for a walk when he was found by
Okita.
"'Nee, Why you kissed me and than turned cold and left."
"Take it as an accident. It was nothing more."
"Even if it was an accident, no one would kiss some one he despise right?"
Instead of an answer he picked Okita's dagogi and nailed him with strong hands
at the tree behind Souji. 
"Ma, ma, Hajime-kun, don't get mad at me. I was just wondering! Does that mean
…"
Hajime release him and turned away.
"Think what you like." and ran off  again and left a completely surprised Okita
left.
Time skip - current time
Later at night while the stars are circling their way through the dark sky, a
single person walk on the footway. Only his green eyes are reflecting the light
of moon. Then he is stopping and opening a shoji door. Very quietly he enters. 
A person sleeping breath is hanging in the room. 
Souji kneels down and strokes the cheek of the sleeping one.
It doesn't take long until a hand stopp him and raise his hand.
"Stopp that if you just are here to provoke me."
Souji changes the position of handhold and pinned Saitou down on the futon.
"Oi, what are doing!?"
Souji's eyes become two small slots.
"Do you really think I make fun of you to just provoke you? Sorry, but I am very
seriously right now. Don't you think it's a little bit funny for us to be in
this position?"
Saitou blushed and couldn't face Souji. 
"You are the one who made my heart race like hell, also take the responsibility!
Won't you?" 
"Souji, cut it out and go at least off me!"
Okita couldn't stop smiling and pulled him very gentle close to his chest and
lift his chin. Saitou who finally gave up on fighting back felt a warming kiss
against his lips. His heart finally melt completely into the arms of the
swordman he felt for.
