That's not what you said when you posed for the last batch of merchandise.
[Surely there must be Hijikata volleyball merchandise somewhere? The lantern gently floats down towards them again, and Okita quickly tries to get it within his general reach again. This time, he lets it float down a bit farther so he can kick it and knee it, like playing hacky sack. What are you going to do about it?]
[How happy Sougo would be if you burst a vein! He's still gently kicking the lantern around, despite the fact that this lantern is neither hardy nor aerodynamic enough to survive this. While you're yelling at him, Sougo gives a final, forceful kick to the lantern in your direction.]
That's too bad. You were so desperate to light these things and--
Sougo flinches but only slightly; he didn't expect that coming at all. As the lantern was already filled with chroma, it had too much energy for Sougo to be toying with it like that. So while it was in the air coming towards you, it exploded!]
[He shields himself with his arms, then lowers them after a moment to take a look at the destruction. Glass shards are strewn about while the metal casing of the lantern is still largely intact (albeit bent). The chroma, though, briefly glows in the air before it's absorbed by the plants in the vicinity. Some of them visibly grow a little from the surge of energy.]
[He desperately wants to bicker again, to say that no, stupid Hijikata, you're the one who put weird feelings into our lantern because you ruin everything, but that takes too much effort.]
There's really no reasoning with a liar. But I don't think it's broken. There's still a use for it.
[And what is that use? Another object to hurl at your head right now.]
[He draws his sword in a flash and deflects the metal chuck, but even that pisses him off. The blade will need maintenance soon, all because of Sougo and his antics.]
Go home!! You've caused enough destruction for today, you hear me?
[UGH. Why does Sougo have to be such a pain in the ass?! Hijikata waits until he is properly gone - he doesn't need another spontaneous surprise attack -, then starts cleaning up and throwing the metal and glass into the nearest designated garbage bin. One of these days Sougo's bullshit will backfire on him, and Hijikata hopes he'll be there to witness that.]
Continued from above!
[God damn it, this little shit is killing his last nerve.]
Let the damn lantern come down!
no subject
[He doesn't have a good reason. Just that. Besides, shouldn't the lantern be able to stay up anyways?
Once gravity works on the lantern again, Sougo jumps and shoves it up into the air again with the palm of his hand.]
Maybe you'll get more popular if you tried volleyball. [What was that other JUMP series again? Gintoki would know.]
no subject
[This still sounds like such rubbish. There's no way it can actually reach distant stars from here.]
I don't want to play volleyball, and I don't need to be popular!

[He's really about to burst a vein here. Alas, he's still recovering from the gut punch and doesn't want to engage in a kerfuffle with the sadist.]
I've had it with you! Find someone else to finish this with!
[1/2]

Oh.

Wow.
no subject
I didn't see that coming.
[He bends down and picks up the bent metal remains of the lantern, examining it briefly in his hands.]
This is what happens when you lie.
[After all, it wasn't Sougo putting that red energy in. How much does he have to say that?]
no subject
Anyway, you broke it. I think we're done here.

[So as you see, it's all Hijikata's fault in the end. Nothing wrong with training your reflexes though, is there?
He nonchalantly waves and starts to walk off.]
See ya.

But surely Hijikata knows that any crap Sougo gets into will now reflect on him.]
