Tennis Shinsengumi's Blood Dance Sakura

It's useless to say more, Sanada didn't care about Echizen's idealism, and led the soldiers to leave.

Tezuka, who kept silent all the time, finally couldn't bear it and knelt down on the ground, his bloodthirsty desire clamored to turn him into a beast.No, absolutely not!His rationality still maintained a sliver of clarity, sticking to the last line of defense, but Tezuka knew that if he did not abandon this body, sooner or later he would become a blood-sucking monster.

"Minister, if you want to suck blood, there are fresh corpses all over the floor, I won't mind!" Echizen stood leaning on the flagpole with his back to him, thinking that Tezuka might not want to see him having a seizure look.Hearing that the other party did not move, Echizen said again, "If it must be the blood of a living person, I can also..."

"Shut up!" Tezuka made a suppressed voice, "Echizen, don't tell anyone about this..."

Echizen smiled slightly, he could tell that Tezuka had passed the difficult time, "Minister, I'm not good at keeping secrets!" Even though he said this, Echizen could understand Tezuka's feelings, if the members of the Shinsengumi They knew that the deputy chief they admired had turned into a ghost, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to them.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Echizen heard rustling sounds behind him, turned his head, and Tezuka had returned to normal.He tidied up Haitang's clothes, then raised the torch and set the whole village on fire.The two stood outside watching the flames slowly engulfing Haitang's body, and the flames rose up and engulfed the night sky.

"Let's go." Tezuka said sadly.Life will turn into dust in the end, and the choice of funeral method does not actually mean much to the deceased. Let Haitang rest in peace here.

"Minister, in fact, the length of life is not important. Senior Kaitang seeks benevolence, and there is nothing to be sad about." Echizen said when he walked out of the garrison.But Tezuka couldn't help it.

Known as the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, the battle was only the prologue to the long Boshin War, and here they lost Kaidou, who will go down in history as Tsusumi Yamazaki.Seeing the leader of the group, Sasaki, also known as Huadi, died in order to save the Jibu, and seeing that the group has existed in name only.

Echizen and Tezuka returned to Osaka Castle with a heavy heart.The ancient city is very well preserved, the city is high and the river is deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you concentrate your forces here to defend Sa Chang's army, it is also a strategy. Although passive, at least there is still a chance to counterattack.Sa Chang's army, which was short of troops and lacked food and pay, encountered setbacks, and it was difficult to persist in a protracted war.

Dashi and others who had already been waiting at the top of the city took Tezuka into the city, and it was only then that Tezuka knew that Sa Changjun had a different name-the new government army.The initial victory of the Saga Alliance made the courtiers who were still on the sidelines determined to designate them as the new government army, and the shogunate, which had maintained its rule for hundreds of years, turned into a rebel army overnight and became the object of condemnation by the people of the whole country.

Tezuka didn't take the issue of these titles to heart. No matter how others define them, their position will not change, because history is always written by the winners.But the news that worried him even more was that the general, the lord of the Aizu Domain, and the lord of the Kuwana Domain all sneaked out of Osaka Castle.

"They escaped together?" Tezuka frowned. This was an unbelievable battle. The top leader of the shogunate fled. How can this battle be fought?

"I don't know." Oishi said, "This is a gossip circulating in the city. I have tested the relevant dignitaries of the shogunate, and it should be conclusive. The moment the emperor announced that the shogunate was a traitor, Tokugawa Yoshiki was shaken."

"Forget it." Tezuka said, "You can't count on him anyway." Atobe was worried, and Atobe and Shinobu should be chasing Tokugawa Yoshiki. He only hoped that Atobe would not do anything impulsively. Things that can be redeemed.

Tezuka glanced at the crowd sitting together, Kikumaru was almost healed, but he probably was about the same as himself, needing blood to sustain life, and the others had not lost their fighting spirit even though they had gone through the war.The Shinsengumi wouldn't be complete without Kaido and Fuji, but as long as their flag is flying, everyone will fight until the end.

Tezuka said, "Has Fuji's body not recovered yet?"

"Buer? We didn't see him at all." Dashi shook his head suspiciously.

"What? Didn't he come back?" Tezuka didn't tell them that Fuji was used by Kirihara Akaya to ambush Atobe because he was afraid that Fuji would have a knot in his heart. Now he explained the whole thing in detail. Everyone Looking at each other, Huadi had already been buried, but no one saw the figure of Fuji.

"Tezuka, rest first, I'll send someone to look for it." Dashi said.Tezuka nodded, it was not so easy to find someone in the huge city of Osaka, he secretly prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to him.He then asked Echizen to leave together, "Please don't let anyone in." Tezuka said before entering his room.

"Anyone?" Echizen asked. Were there two people in Tezuka's life who were special?Think ahead.When you think of Buer, you can't help but think of the self-righteous Monkey Mountain King Jibu.

"Anyone." Tezuka said firmly.

The night was thick, and Echizen was sitting on a branch outside Tezuka's room. The crescent moon in the sky looked particularly bleak, and even the moonlight seemed to have a cold feeling.There was no sound in Tezuka's room for a long time, which was even more worrying. It can only be said that Tezuka is doing everything he can to suppress the urge to suck blood.Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Atobe barging in, his arrogance couldn't hide his arrogance of wanting to fight with someone.

Echizen smiled, which showed that he didn't do anything to Tokugawa Yoshiki, and ran to Tezuka to talk to Tezuka after holding back his anger.

"Hey, if you want to get through this, leave the road money!" Echizen said and jumped off the tree.

Atobe didn't expect that there was someone here, so he was startled. He was already pressing his hand on the knife and was waiting to release it, but Echizen gently pushed him back. "My uncle is in a bad mood and doesn't want to talk to you." Atobe pushed him away and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Echizen.

"Why?" Atobe said displeased. He had already inquired that Tezuka lived here, and he had been worrying about what would happen after Tezuka became an oni. rushed back.

"He said he didn't want to see anyone." Echizen said lightly.

"My uncle is not anyone."

"Oh, so that's the case. Then may I ask what is the difference between Mr. Atobe and us, and why is he close to the minister?" Echizen said calmly.

"I..." Atobe was at a loss for words for a while, and wanted to say that it was because I liked Tezuka, but if Tezuka didn't have that kind of affection for him, then I would be nothing special to him, and finally said helplessly, "Kids don't care about my uncle's business."

Echizen curled his lips and murmured, "At first I wanted to show you a clear path, but since you are so ignorant of compliments, I'm sorry, I can only ask you to stop."

Seeing that Echizen turned around to leave, Atobe reached out and grabbed his scarf, pulled back hard, wrapped his arms around Echizen's neck, and said with a smile, "Will you still pull it?"

"Who is pulling?" Echizen was so angry that he wanted to get away, but Atobe grabbed the scarf tightly.

"My uncle is the king of the Ice Emperor, so naturally I want to pull a little bit, is it not Huadi?" Feiyang's tone immediately cooled down, and after he said it, Atobe realized that Huadi who followed him like a shadow was no longer , let go of his hand resentfully.Echizen took a few breaths and rearranged the scarf. Atobe couldn't help but sigh when he saw the moonlight shining on his sad face.

"Then I won't disturb his rest." Atobe glanced at Tezuka's dark window, "Give him a greeting for me."

"Wait." Echizen called Atobe who was already walking, and whispered in his ear, "He needs you."

"Ok?"

Looking into Atobe's puzzled eyes, Echizen explained, "Minister worked hard, don't be fooled by his appearance."

☆、Reunion in the middle of the night ([-])

"Uh!" Seeing that Echizen had turned and left, Atobe chewed on his words, and couldn't help becoming more worried about Tezuka's physical condition. Echizen was undoubtedly implying that Tezuka had already had a seizure.Slowly walking to Tezuka's door, Atobe knocked softly on the door, but no one answered, stretched out his hand and pushed, but the door was not locked.Atobe walked into the room, and the moonlight followed him, passing over him and shining on Tezuka who was sitting leaning against the wall, his long drooping hair covered his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.Closing the door behind his back, Atobe walked towards Tezuka.

"Tezuka?" he called out.

"I'm fine." Tezuka said suddenly, "I'm just too tired, let's talk tomorrow."

Because he got a hint from Echizen before, Atobe would not be fooled by him so easily. He bent down and lifted the hair on his forehead, his blood-red pupils flashed with painful light, and Tezuka, who had experienced the battle, urgently needed Blood to replenish the energy he consumed, but he pushed himself to the brink of collapse.His hair has also turned white, but it was not so clear in the moonlight just now.

"It's okay, Tezuka." Atobe sat in front of him, gently hugging his trembling body.

"Don't do this, Atobe." Tezuka struggled, at this moment he smelled the aroma of blood on Atobe, and he couldn't bear any temptation.

"You became like this because of me, so let me use my own blood to support you? At least it can reduce my guilt." Atobe said softly.

"The Department of Traces!"

"You're not a monster, Tezuka. Don't force yourself. You won't be able to take on the duties of the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi. Let's get through this difficulty together, shall we?" Under Atobe's persuasion, he could no longer bear the suffering Tezuka finally broke Atobe's skin with his teeth.The unique stench of blood has now turned into a sweet fragrance. The moment it flows through the throat, the dry throat seems to be moistened by rain and dew.

Wiping off the blood left on his lips, Tezuka buried his head deeply between his hands, and finally succumbed to the temptation of desire. What a shameful thing this is!

Gently smoothing out Tezuka's messy long hair, Atobu sat down beside him leaning against the wall, the moonlight gently sprinkled on the two of them, Atobu felt a touch of romance.Touching the solidified wound, he murmured, "Tezuka, will I also turn into a ghost after being bitten by you?"

"No such thing." Hearing Atobe's childish imagination, Tezuka reprimanded softly.

"Really? That's disappointing." Atobe laughed.

Tezuka turned to look at him strangely, and Atobe couldn't help laughing, "I just hope that people who have been sucked blood will become vampires like in the vampire story! In this way, I can be with you. You are the same."

Hearing Atobe's naive thoughts, Tezuka scolded a fool softly, and buried his head on his knees again.

"Well, Tezuka, don't talk, just listen to me, okay?"

"What?" Tezuka didn't look up.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree with what I said, as long as you don't refuse." Atobe looked at him and continued, "You know that every time I think of having you by my side, having love for you, and caring for me , How happy I am to live in this world! Maybe I will lose my current status and my so-called family, but our relationship is the only thing that no one can take away. It is something I really have, so I cherish it very much. "

Tezuka, who could no longer ignore the existence of Atobe, raised his head and looked at him. At this moment, the proud king's eyes flashed with longing light, and the handsome face bathed in the moonlight was full of innocent expressions. Tezuka couldn't help being moved.

"You don't need to give me equal affection, I just hope you don't reject my affection. I know you don't belong to me alone, just like in my kingdom there are Ice Empress and everyone besides you. As long as you have Then it’s fine to like me a little bit, and give me a status that is different from that of the Seigaku players.” Atobe smiled, “In this case, it doesn’t matter even if tomorrow is the end of the world. I know that it’s impossible for me to be by your side , but there is someone who is more suitable for such a thing, isn't it? Then I can rest assured."

"What did you say?" Tezuka asked.

"I'm telling the truth, Tezuka. After experiencing life and death, you will understand that love doesn't need possession. You just need to see the person you love is alive and well. In that case, no matter the ends of the world, there is still a place to put your thoughts."

Atobe's words deeply moved Tezuka. Their lives are fleeting, and no one knows whether there will be a tomorrow.Atobe can let go of his obsession with love for his own happiness, but what is he still hesitating about? Maybe it's time to fulfill his deep affection, and don't wait until the irretrievable day to feel guilty about today's restraint.

Looking at Tezuka's staring eyes, he seemed to feel the affection conveyed. Atobe felt the frequency of his heart change, and blurted out almost without brain thinking, "Can I kiss you?"

Without promise or rejection, Tezuka still looked at him intently, Atobe slowly leaned over and pressed a light kiss on his lips.Seeing Tezuka gently closed his eyelids, Atobe seemed to be encouraged, turned around, and stroked the back of his head with one hand, deepening the love in this kiss.After traveling through time and space, after five years of longing, this kiss made Atobe a little ecstatic.

As the night deepened, the moonlight became clearer.The two sat side by side on the floor and fell asleep.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on Atobe's face in the morning, Atobe opened his eyes, only to find that Tezuka was staring at him, and said with some embarrassment, "Even if you are a king, there is nothing good about sleeping, right? "

Tezuka didn't say anything to the contact department, but said, "Is Yoshiki Tokugawa really gone?"

Discussing political issues early in the morning is really disappointing, Atobe thought to himself, and nodded, "There is no way, Tokugawa Yoshiki lost the desire to fight when he knew that he had become a traitor."

"how about you?"

Atobe stood up, stretched, and said with a smile, "Of course I will fight to the end."

"Think you'll be downcast?"

"Depressed? Just because they declared us traitors? This uncle will not be discouraged by such a thing! This is why there is a reason to fight! Since you dare to define this uncle as a traitor, you must be mentally prepared accordingly Is that okay? My uncle will give full play to the role of traitors and won’t let them down. Besides, heroes who make history don’t start out as traitors.”

Tezuka smiled, "Seeing how energetic you are, I don't need to cheer you up."

"Hehe!" Atobe smiled and patted him on the shoulder, thinking, after such a wonderful night, an idiot would be depressed because of that kind of thing. "Wait for us to fight to the death in Aizu Domain!"

"Aizu Fan?" Tezuka was taken aback, "Is Osaka going to give up like this?"

Atobe sighed and said, "Tokugawa Yoshiki is now urging everyone to surrender. Osaka will definitely not be able to keep it. Natsumoto Takehiro's fleet is transporting troops out of Osaka and withdrawing to Edo, but if the situation continues like this, Edo It is estimated that there will be no good turning point. But the Aizu domain is different, it is my territory, everything is up to me, and then we can have a good fight."

Against the entire government army with a single force, will they have a chance of winning?Tezuka couldn't help thinking.

"This is just the worst plan. First of all, you should retreat to Edo, depending on the situation."

Tezuka nodded, and now that's all there is to it, "But before I leave, I have to find Fuji, I didn't expect him to come back at all."

"Tezuka, I actually saw Fuji when I came here yesterday."

"Did you see him? Where is it?" Tezuka asked anxiously.

"I'm talking about Yuta. He was going to come to you, but he didn't come in after seeing me. He asked me to bring you a message."

"Oh?"

"Fuer is in Xizhaoan, although Yuta didn't say anything, but I think he wants you to meet his brother."

Tezuka nodded, and Atobe said again, "No matter what happens to Tezuka, protect yourself. Can we make an agreement? You must come to Aizu Domain to see me!" With a smile on his face, Atobe said to Tezuka stretched out his hand, and the image of Tezuka in his wet eyes was a bit blurred. "

"It's agreed." Tezuka solemnly took his hand.Such a promise is not so easy to realize in such troubled times!
