[Troubled]
The unsettling crit crit of the night crickets was occasionally joined by a lazy cicada laying concealed somewhere in the garden trees. Hijikata Toshizo sat in his room lost in troubling thoughts, unlit pipe in one hand and staring at the garden stillness, the other hand leisurely soothing Souji’s sleeping form. Fingers playing absently with smooth, dark strands. Souji’s back rising calmly in long breaths. Toshizo inhaled the night’s warm air deeply, staring at the darkness covered grounds.
He believed to be the one person that better knew Souji, but still Souji was a riddle. He could be gentle and caring or craving and needy or forceful and demanding. But Toshizo rarely ever knew how the calm, sweet looking and animal loving man was going to react after being pushed close to the limit. Toshizo knew that crossing the limit turned Souji into a remorseless killing machine, but what of the Souji close to the limit, would he lose the kindness in his eyes? Would the sweetness he loved be lost forever replaced by a cold deadly stare?
Souji stirred awake and looked up through sleepy eyes at Toshizo. “What’s on your mind, Hijikata-san? You mustn’t think so hard your forehead will get all wrinkled.”
