Ok 1st story here so it wont be great!

Chapter one: Stranger!

It was a stormy night when it happened, two years ago to this very day. mother, my two brothers and myself were sitting in total silence, waiting and praying that our father would return safely. The night past, then the next day, then the next. I gave up, so did my brothers, we knew that he had died. The Shinsengumi would have found my father, he couldn't hide forever. But my mother, my mother wouldn't eat, nor sleep, she was slowly fading away. Two weeks had past, I had returned home from shopping with my younger brother when we found my mother had committed…I cant even bring myself to say it. That was the final straw for my older brother, he left and followed in our father's footsteps. He joined the Choshu. My younger brother was so proud of him. I guess I was too. But alas, all good things must come to an end. My brother was finally allowed to come home, but only for a visit. He never made it. He was struck down by the 1st unit of the Shinsengumi, he had no chance. My poor younger brother, I had no way to stop him. He ran and ran, I don't think that he even looked back. I was alone, terrified and broke. Not even enough money to buy pickled radish. I went to Mibu, to find some work, any work. That was when i met him. His long black hair swayed in the soft breeze, his body long and slender. I thought I had met an angel. He saw me, I wept as his gaze turned to pity. As he looked at me, the girl with the dirty black hair, dirty skin and torn clothes. All I could see was him looking at my eyes, those big blue things that had helped me scrape enough money for food. And that was when I thought, he must only want me for… just like the other disgusting men I have met. He said to me, "miss are you alright? You look terrified. When was the last time you ate? Come I will take you to get some food, before you waste away to nothing."

He led me to a small shop where he brought me small dumplings, the taste exploded in my mouth such great food! And then I realised…

"oh by the way, I don't think I asked you your name."

"my name? Oh it's Okita, Souji Okita."

"hmm that name sounds familier…"

to that statement he just laughed.

"Miss I do not believe that you have told my your name either!"

"hahaha, I believe i haven't. my name is Akita Kitamura."

"well miss Akita, I must take you home to get you all cleaned up, and some new clothes might be in order too don't you think?"

here it comes the whole, ill make you nice and tender before I …

"err… ok, I must thank you very much!"

"it's no problem, no problem at all!"

I kept my head down all the way to wherever it was we were going. Mr. Okita stoped at some big wooden gates, as I looked at the sign next to the door, my whole body froze at that one word. Shinsengumi.
