Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan: Find Love in War (Hajime Saito)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15: You're My Partner

Haruka couldn't handle someone insulting the late young Shiba lord so she went out to drink to get her mind off the conversation she had with Saito. The barkeep was hesitant to give Haruka alcohol since she looks young for her age, but he gives in to her glare. She was just relaxing and enjoying her sake. Well, it wasn't so relaxing when there's a group of boisterous men at a table nearby. Haruka let out a long sigh and finish her drink before she paid then left. As she walks around town in a drunkard state, she didn't realize there was a group of men following her behind. She was drunk, but she's not that drunk.

Haruka reach for her sword, but it wasn't there. She wasn't thinking when she left HQ to go out for a drink. She curses under her breath for her not thinking before heading out. Before she knew it, the same group that drinking loudly before ambush her, a cloth with sleeping drug covering her mouth.

'Not good...' Haruka thought before her mind enters darkness.

The samurai and his comrades took Haruka and went to their hideout. Once they made it back to their hideout, they took Haruka to a bedroom and lay her on the ready futon. One of the samurai was about to take off her clothes when one of his comrades told him not to.

"Don't take off her clothes. It's nicer this way."

A few seconds later, Haruka gain conscious, but the drug still has effect on her. "Wha...Where...What are you doing?"

"Hey, she's awake!"

Haruka sit up, and place a hand on her head. "Did I...fell asleep...? My head...hurts..." She scans her surroundings, but her vision was blur that she can hardly make out what she's looking at. But she can make out about five to six figures in the room.

The samurais look at each other and the first one nod, signaling for the other samurai to do something. One of the samurais hold Haruka back and cover her as another samurai walk up to her and put an uncap bottle of pink substance under her nose. Aphrodisiac.

"Mm!"

Haruka was too weak to struggle. Her body begins to feel hot, her cheeks redden. The other samurai back away from Haruka as she lay on the futon and roll into a ball, with one of her hand clutching on the futon. Her breathing begins to grow shaky and heavy.

Saito walks into the common room only to see the others without Haruka.

"Haruka hasn't come home yet?" Saito asked.

"No," Okita replied.

"I see."

"She's probably still at the bar," Nagakura mentioned.

"The bar? Why would she?"

"That's what she told me when I ask," Chizuru said.

"Are you worried about her?" Heisuke asked curiously.

"I'm not; she can handle herself." Saito want to believe that, but the conversation before didn't help ease him. He turns around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going, Saito?" Chizuru asked.

"I'm going to find Haruka." Then Saito left.

"He definitely cares about Haruka," Heisuke said with a smug on his face.

Once Saito found the bar, he went in and talks with the owner.

"A woman with blonde hair and red eyes? Yes, I saw them take her away just as she went out of the entrance."
