Fly Away

Chapter 7: Serizawa is an asshole

Rin jumped up and latched onto Shinpachi's back:

"Guess who?"

"Rin!"

The big man turned sharply just to be met with Souji's shit-eating grin:

"What did you expect? If it was Rin, she's on your back."

"Damn you! Both you sons of bitches!"

"Well, sure, Souji's a son of a bitch, but me? Really? I'm a bona fide bitch from hell. And I think I'm a girl."

"So ... you're my mom?"

"I hope not."

-------------------------------------------

"Souji! Rin! It's good to you two. You look well Souji." Kondo-san being Kondo-san. The best thing in the world. And Toshi being Toshi, standing just behind Kondo-san, glaring at her. Sometimes, she thought it had to be painful for him to make any different expression. Although, the frown was a bit deeper than usual. Something was happening. She said as much.

"Still as perspective, I see, though no more polite."

"Why, thank you."

"Do you remember we told you that we would meet up with a man named Serizawa?".

"Yeah ..." Why must I have a bad feeling about this?

"Well, he's here." Fun.

A tall, gray haired man she could only assume was Serizawa, exited the door Kondo-san and Toshi had come from, followed by  a pair of snivelling, cowering idiots. With a proud, confident gait, Serizawa strode over.

"And who might this be?" He said, eyes sliding from Kondo-san, Toshi and Shin to Souji. Kondo smiled and answered:

"Ahh, Serizawa-dono, this is Okita Souji and ..." Cutting him off, Serizawa said:

"Okita, I've heard much of your skills with a sword, from Kondo and others." At this, Souji puffed out his chest a bit. "But, I cannot abide someone bringing their whore into headquarters." Don't loose your shit, don't loose your shit, don't loose your shit. Don't loose your shit. Souji went for his blade, Toshi did the same, Kondo-san looked appalled and Rin's spear was on the bastard's neck. Her eyes went cold and so did her voice:

"I'm no man's whore. Say it again, and your head will roll." The man smirked.

"I believe you."

-------------------------------------------

"I need a drink." Rin groaned. Her day hadn't exactly gone the way she had hoped. She hadn't seen Saito anywhere, she hadn't messed up Toshi's paperwork, she'd been called a whore by a maniacal fuck, but she could still hope that the baka-trio were up for a drink. Leaving her room she went to find them. She found Sano sharpening his spear, Heisuke getting bossed around by Gen-san and Shin already on the hunt for sake. As they left for the red light district, they ran into Souji:

"Already need to get drunk, do you?"

"Well, I've been way too sober over the last few days, thanks to you, and I did get called your whore by a maniacal asshole, so it's entirely your fault." Sano cut in:

"Who called you a whore? Do I need a spear?"

"I wish. He would already be skewered and stabbed twice, if it hadn't been that son of a bitch Serizawa." Sano scowled:

"Bastard"

"Agreed, now about that drink. Souji since it's entirely your fault, I think it's only appropriate that you come and you're buying."
