Haruka na kuchibue

The sun was setting over an unusually quiet Kyoto.

The Choshu rebels, posted in alleyways and abandoned buildings, awaited with infinite patience the darkness, from which their movements would be hard to tell.

A figure lay on a stone wall, his back resting against the hard surface. The wind caressed his relaxed features, and his lips painted a smile. "Ich..." he whispered, the playfulness not absent from his voice. Next to him, a small, wrapped package had been momentarily forgotten.

The afternoon breeze carried away the peaceful sound of his words. "Nii" Some spectacularly-colored clouds flew by.

"San..." The noises were already dead by that time when only the rebels were out. Dusk.

Lazily, he opened one clear eye, then the other. The sky reflected on them. "Shi"

His lips moved mechanically to whisper the final "Go"

He lazily sat up, and opened the package next to him. Among the folds of the paper, a light-blue coat made its appearance.

Okita Souji, again, smiled.

A potent whistle crossed like lightning the deserted streets of an unusually quiet Kyoto.

Woo! An almost-200 words drabble:D! And it has a small trace of PLOT! Hehe XD.

Just in case; Haruka: distant; kuchibue: whistle. Ohh, I'm so creative XD (sarcastic Q-Q)
