xvi - companionable enemies

[okitactless]

(canon quote: "You're pretty good, despite denying the ordinary fencing styles.")

[Yamato spars with Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki. In the past, they were on opposing sides, with Yamato belonging to the Shinsengumi and Mutsu belonging to Sakamoto Ryoma. But now they're allies, and Yamato shows it by deciding to spar in Sakamoto's style "Hokushin Itto-ryu", rather than Okita's chosen style. Mutsu is pleasantly surprised by the spar, and Yamato acknowledges Mutsu's skill as well.]
