He woke up feeling a bit heavier than usual, as if a rock was placed on his head. It doesn't help when that bastard hijikata's voice blaring throughout the compound for an urgent meeting.

He just stare at the wall in front of him, his katana is neatly placed beside the futon. Pondering to himself, He finally rise up from his bed after being yelled at for the upteenth time.

He didn't feel like going but the thought of it being an urgent meeting, and the fact that all members need to be present picked his curiousity. It's usually the captains who participate in meetings. Well, that includes him as the first squad captain.

He's been frustrated for a while now, fumbling over the buttons as he put on their official uniform. He's probably late by now. His head was throbbing as he make way to the meeting room. He may or may not be staggering after a few members greet him while eyeing him. He paid no mind and enter the room.

Most of them were already in place, with kondo and hijikata at the center of the room. He walked towards his squad and sat in front of them.

Hijikata eyed all of them, confirming that all of them had assembled. He clear his throat before holding out a piece of paper.

"All of you must be wondering why I assembled all of you. Well, we've got an information regarding a radical group named Seiryu. It turns out that they planned on bombing the terminal by the end of the week. I've sent yamazaki for stakeout and he already confirmed their hideout."

He fiddled his finger on the paper. Kondo looked at his subordinates sternly, not uttering a single word. "So our job is to eliminate this threat that threaten the peace of Edo. We need all manpower we can get since it's gonna be a hella fight. This group is known among other jouis in terms of their members and... they may be more dangerous than katsura's group."

All members gulped in anticipation. Everyone knows about Katsura, one of the famous rebel who fought the war against the amanto. He's been in their list for a long time and not once they succeed to catch the group. The meeting become hectic as the members started whispering among themselves about the outcome of the battle they're about to face.

"SILENCE." Hearing his loud voice, all of them immediately stopped and listen, or they're gonna get bazookad in the face. "I'm gonna assign each squad at different positions so captains need to lead their subordinate to these locations. First squad, you'll be in charged on the front lines, with kondo-san and me, understand?" Hijikata looked at Sougo before noticing that he was asleep.

"What the hell you're doing, Sougo? I told you this is important!" He yelled as the captain slowly opened his eye. "You bastard, don't you understand our situation here?"

Sougo sigh in annoyance, another reason to kill this guy. His eyes is still droopy and the headache is still present and it's been getting worst. "Yeah.. Yeah I get it. Seriously, why do you even need to shout? I'll kill you."

"WHAT YOU SAY, YOU DAMN... " before he could finish his sentence, Kondo finally stepped in, "Toshi, cut some slacks. He must have his reason. He won't usually slept on meetings no matter how laid back he is."

Kondo moved towards Sougo, resulting everyone glancing with interest. He placed his palm on top of his forehead before noting the warmness of his hand. "I thought so."

Hijikata looked at his superior, confused. "What is?"

"I think Sougo has a fever."

"Ehhhhhh!" Everyone was in shock, making overreacting gestures at the news. How they completely forget that this guy is merely a human. Well, you tend to forgot about it when the said person is the super sadistic prodigy in the shinsengumi.
