“Why are you hiding there?”

Oh great! He found me. I’m done for. I should be cleaning the floors.

“I, uhm, well...I was just passing by and...hmm...uhm...” Brilliant and now I lost all my coherent speech as well, “and saw you training, fukuchou. Sorry, I’ll be on my way now” Better get away from here before he decides to come up with some punishment.

“Wait.”

AW! Not fast enough, apparently.

“You may stay and watch me train.”

HUH! I must be going crazy, did he just say I could stay?

“You might learn something.”

Figures! I haven’t learned something so far because you haven’t allowed me to, neh?! And if I tell him this he’ll kill me on the spot and I so wanna watch him exercise.

“Thank you, Hijikata-san.” Always play safe, with him you never know.

As he moves to restart his motions I can’t help notice how he moves so easily and lightly for a man so big, so effortlessly as if the blade weighs nothing.

I still remember when I couldn’t even get a katana out of the sheath, and for him it feels like he’s holding a sword made of air and he makes it so easy, like he’s dancing.

That strong body of a samurai; flexible like a tiny contortionist from the Continent, light like a dancer’s on a flying movement and deadly as hemlock poison.

He looks so powerful! I wish I could become as fearsome, strong and decisive as Hijikata Toshizo. Able to inspire men to follow and worship him...

Okay?! Where did that come from?! I wanna learn from the best but I don’t worship him. I mean he’s all strong, that lean, well-shaped body is...is...hmm what’s the word I’m looking for?

Gorgeous.

OH, NO!

To die for.

OH KAMISAMA1!

Am I... What is this?! He’s... he’s... I’m... and... and...

OH dear, this is so strange.

“Tetsu-kun?! TETSU-KUN!”

Is he talking to me? I can’t look, not now, he’ll know. He’ll notice that there’s something strange with me.

“Are you alright? You’re all flushed and red. Do you have a fever?”

Why are my cheeks so red? And why is he coming this way? I gotta get out of here.

“I’m okay, fukuchou. I...I...just forgot about something I gotta do.” Stupid Tetsu, stupid! “I gotta go, thanks for the sight...”

NO!

“I meant the fight, I mean...the...” Yes Tetsu dig your grave deeper. “I’m sorry but I have to go.”

As I bolt out of there all I can think is: What just happen to me?!
