Two sisters who have been abandoned and as a result they have lived in the streets for years. That is until they were accepted into a dojo and taught how to fight and fend for themselves. Not knowing that the men who taught them accused them of bein...
I was on patrol... as usual and I felt the wind blow through my hair. Yup... spring was on it's way. Although it was still cold I knew spring would come. "OI HAKU" shouted a voice, as I turned my head and smirked seeing Sano, my division's captain. His full name Sanosuke Harada. I smirked and walked towards them. "Yo" I said standing in front of him. I was inspired by Sano years ago when we first met. I have devoted my skills and strength to the Shinsengumi ever since I had a sword in my hands and I became the vice-captain of the tenth division. "We're headed to Shimabara tonight you coming?" he asked, as I stopped and smirked. "Y-yeah, sure" I said, as he smirked. Normally I hated even going there but at least I knew some of the geisha so it wasn't all bad... but still. A night of watching those three drink themselves silly and doing who knows what. Ah... sorry by those three I mean my captain, the second divisions captain Shinpachi Nagakura and the eight divisions captain Heisuke Touddou. "Ah don't worry men it's on me tonight" said Shinpachi, as him and his men met up with us on patrol. I smiled feeling like the good times would never end. When we were finished the patrol we were on our way to Shimabara with division eight as well. "Oi, oi, where are you all going?" said a voice, as we froze. "Damn caught in the act" mumbled Shinpachi, as we all turned and looked at him: Vice-Commander Toshizo Hijikata. "Well got to go look into that" said Sanosuke "Ah I'll help" said Shinpachi, as they ran off before they could face "the demon". "Well?" asked the voice, as we turned around seeing the commander. "We were just doing some late night training... right Haku?" asked Heisuke, as I smiled nervously. "R-right" I said, as he glared towards us. "Eh, well if your so into training Gen-san said something about a partner tonight Heisuke" said Toshizo, as Heisuke gulped and lowered his head. "Haku" said Toshizo, as I stood there in silence waiting for my punishment. "Easy, I need you to do extra patrol some of the vice-captains have gotten sick again" he said, as I paused but nodded my head. "Yes sir"I said, as I ran to my room getting my coat. I walked in my room and saw Genji, my... brother.

"What are you doing?" I asked getting my blue coat and putting it on. "I was bored. Besides patrols are so boring" whined Genji, as I sighed. "You know if you keep faking your illness Toshi is going to have it in for you" I said, as Genji shrugged. "So? It's not like anything fun happens anyway" said Genji, as I rolled my eyes and ignored Genji's comments. I walked out and started making my rounds. I soon paused and narrowed my eyes... it was quiet... too quiet. I soon stopped hearing the screams of men dying. I clicked my tongue and started running. I ran and then stopped seeing the vice-commander, as well as Captain Okita of the first division and captain Saitou of the third division. Then I stopped seeing a small girl passed out of the streets. "Eh a little slow Haku" said Okita, as I ignored him and narrowed my eyes at the girl. "See Haku wants to kill the kid too" said Okita, as I turned my head and looked at the scene laid before me. I can pretty much guess what happened. "Let's take him back" said Toshizo, as they all looked at me. "Let me guess I'm carrying the extra weight?" I guessed, as Okita smirked and Toshizo and Saitou walked in front of me. I tisked my head and glared down at the girl. "I'll carry you, but I'll be damned if I have to kill you" I mumbled, as I carried the girl over my shoulder. I placed her in the room tied up and gagged as Captain Okita's orders and I walked out. I narrowed my eyes at the room and started slowly walked away to my room.
The next day I woke up and made my way to the common room. There I saw all the captains meeting up. "Ah Haku" said Vice-Commander Sannan, as I looked at him seriously. "You were there, what do you think happened?" he asked, as everyone looked at me including the girl from last night. I could sense fear in her eyes from my answer. Fear I left behind long ago. I closed my eyes and crossed my arms. "Looking at all the evidence brought before me last night. The kid was running from disgraced ronin and then found somewhere to hide, as a result they were killed by our men who "refused" to follow orders and in the process the kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time" I said, as Sannan growled and Toshizo smirked. "You asked Haku yourself Sannan and we all know Haku's skills of prediction" said Toshizo, as Sannan stayed quiet. Yes my skills were unmatched when it came to predicting our winnings for battle and for predicting events like this as well. "Please wait, let me explain" she pleaded, as they all glanced at each other. "Saitou take him to his room" said Toshizo, as he nodded. "I think we should just kill him and get it over with" said Okita, as I sighed. "Eh, you don't sound to thrilled Haku" said Sannan, as I glared at him. "Do whatever you want, just don't expect me to do the killing" I said walking out and headed to my room. I entered my room seeing Genji laying down and sighing while looking at the ceiling. "So it's true... a woman in the Shinsengumi" said Genji, as I narrowed my eyes at Genji. "More like a little girl who got stuck in our business" I said, as Genji stopped and smirked at me. "Eh, sounds like someones jealous" chuckled Genji, as I glared at Genji. "Enough out of you" I said, as Genji chuckled. I then paused and saw a shadow walking passed. "What's up?" asked Genji, as I left my room and walked on the patio seeing the girl. I grabbed the back of her collar and she looked at me shocked. "L-let me go" she said moving about trying to break from my grip. "Come with me" I said, as she stopped and looked at me a few times. "W-what?" she asked, as I glared back at her. "You have a reason for leaving don't you? Tell the commander and you'll be able to leave depending on your answer of course" I saidletting her go, as she smiled a bit. "T-thank you" she said, as I ignored her and continued to walk. I opened the door to the common room seeing the captains, Toshizo, Sannan, and Kondou the chief of the Shinsengumi. "Oi Haku, what do you think your doing?" asked Toshi angrily, as I closed my eyes. "Sorry for interrupting, but the kid has something to say" I said moving to the side, as I did she jumped a bit and gulped from nervousness. "Go on" I said, as she nodded her head. The girl told us her story how she came to Kyoto to find her father... Kodo Yukimura. Her name: Chizuru Yukimura. At that moment I closed my eyes and sighed deeply in thought. Now I knew she was not going to leave any time soon.
