#kotsune

Crying. 

And imagining a what if for my au modern with Nagakura Shinpachi and Kotsune (his historical lover) from her point of view when she dies, becomes a soul and cant accept it because she leaves Shinpachi and their daughter alone.

And just after that. 

Imagining a what if with Coco where her ghost comes each O-Bon to watch her family, Oiso growing up, Sano helping Shinpachi, laughing with him, seeing all the new friends they meet (hullo Heisuke) and...enduring Shinpachi mourning her. And she cames each O-bon hoping that maybe one day he could totally be better. 

Just a little colored version of Kotsune and Isoko in my AU!Police/Hakuouki.  

Why are you lingering around me? What should I do? I keep thinking of you

I wanna tell you You’re the one in my heart

(Haa saisho ne) Iso de meisho wa Ooarai sama yo (Haa saisho ne) Matsu ga miemasu honobono to (Matsu ga ne) Miemasu iso honobono to (Haa saisho ne) Yurari yurari to yosete wa kaesu (Haa saisho ne) Nami no se ni noru aki no tsuki (Nami no ne) Se ni noru iso aki no tsuki (Haa saisho ne)

A quick doodle of Kotsune, the historical lover of Nagakura Shinpachi and a geisha of Shimabara. This is how I imagine her in Hakuouki. Version without her make-up and another with her geisha make-up :D

I imagine her as a jikata (a geisha who sings and playing an instrument). That’s why Umekichi is my main inspiration for her. The song is Iso Bushi and I like to imagine that this is where the name of Oiso comes from :D

Modern version of Kotsune.
