A/N: Here is chapter one! There is a descendant for each person except for Inoue. Chizuru is also included but I'm not including her in the pairings Kondou's descendant isn't in it either. Warning: This chapter might not be too long. Hope you enjoy!


"Ah... I'm finally in Kyoto! It feels so refreshing here!", a girl with piercing purple eyes and long black hair stretched her limbs.

"The others will be here tomorrow, so I must get the job done by tonight! Meanwhile, I'll have some fun with them.", with a smile, the girl clad in black disappeared as her first target appeared, it was Okita Souji.

"I can't test him now, so I'll skip him.", the girl spied on Souji for a while longer before flashing towards Saitou Hajime's location.

'Was someone watching me?', Souji questioned himself when she left, 'Maybe.', he thought.

The girl was now watching Hajime however, she had to switch her spot a couple times to evade Hajime's line of sight. 'He's really perceptive, but when comparing him to her, his perception is a little better than her's.', she thought. The girl had timed how long it took for him to notice her and as a trick even threw a couple small pebbles at him, giggling a little every time it hit him. (A/N: Poor Hajime.)

She continued harassing the captains and commanders except for Inoue and Kondou... and then for dinner, the girl poured more salt in their bowls and plates of food from the ceiling when the ones who were cooking, Sano and Shinpachi, weren't looking. The end result was when the captains and commanders went to eat, they cringed and shuddered at how salty the food was. Souji was the only one who was more or less fine with eating the salty food. Meanwhile, the girl was dying of laughter from looking at their facial expressions and their actions when they bit the food.

"Hey, Shinpachi, Sano! Have your taste buds died? This tastes horrible!", Heisuke exclaimed.

"It wasn't us, We swear! The food tasted fine when we tried it!", Shinpachi and Sano yelped in unison, the girl was rolling around on the roof bursting with laughter at this point.

"Did anyone have something weird happen to them today?", Hijikata inquired, the girl instantly stopped laughing and focused on their conversation.

A chorus of six "yes's" and two "no's" were said, Inoue and Kondou were lucky... until dinner happened. Hijikata had his papers so messed up that he didn't know how they had, previously, been arranged, Souji got kicked into a lake when he was playing a game of Kagome Kagome* with some children, Shinpachi fell into a random hole in the ground, Heisuke had a flour smeared on him which caused Sano to faint when he saw him, Saitou got small pebbles thrown at him and finally Sannan's glasses were stolen so he was constantly bumping into walls until he found his glasses in the exact spot he had lost them. (A/N: It was seriously hard to try to find a prank for Sannan, he's just so smart. *sigh*)

The girl was smiling when she was thinking about her pranks on them while looking at the sunset. She dozed off for a while before she was suddenly woken up to the sounds of the captains and commanders yelling, two rasetsu have broken out! The girl followed Souji, Hijikata and Saitou as they chased after the escapees. When she arrived at the location of the rasetsu, the first thing she noticed was Chizuru in the alley way. The girl was so absorbed by watching how the events played out that she made a mistake by lingering too long and thus Saitou caught sight of her and contacted Hijikata who notified Yamazaki to capture her.

"I give.", the girl stepped out of the shadows, holding up her hands before Yamazaki reached her.

The four men were surprised, the person who was behind the tricks was a girl! However, they didn't know what she looked like because she had a mask on, but above all they noticed the form fitting black clothing.

"*cough cough* Tie her up.", Hijikata turned away to focus at the task at hand.

"Souji and Saitou, take the kid back to headquarters, Yamazaki, clean up. I'll take her back.", Hijikata took the rope binding the girl and lead her back to headquarters.


Back at headquarters, the captains and commanders of the Shinsengumi started a meeting about the mysterious girl.

"So this is the person who pranked us?", Heisuke asked.

"Yes, I'm the one who did it because I was bored.", the masked girl said, for some weird reason when they tried to take of the mask, it couldn't be taken off.

"So what did you see? Are you an assassin?", Hijikata asked.

"I saw everything because I followed you, you can figure out the rest yourself. Just keep in mind that I am not here to kill you guys.", the mysterious girl said calmly.

"Then who are you and what is your purpose here?", Hijikata questioned.

The girl stood up to face everyone.

"My name is Tamaki... Hijikata Tamaki. Nice to meet you!", she took of her mask, revealing a very feminine version of... Hijikata's face.

Everyone stared at her in shock, Shinpachi, Sano and Heisuke fainted, the rest just sat there twitching until Tamaki put the mask back on.

"I didn't know that you had a daughter, Toshi!", Kondou exclaimed, Souji laughed at his comment.

"Wh-What! I don't have a daughter, I don't even know her!", Hijikata yelled, at this point he was close to becoming hysterical.

"Ahem.", all eyes turned to Tamaki.

"Sorry to interrupt your little session, but I am merely the advance party. In fact, eight more people should arrive by the end of tomorrow. Sorry for informing you on such short notice. *laughing*"

"Ehhhhhh!", everyone shouted out.
