Chapter 1:The Revival
One spring day, when the cherry blossoms were blooming, Chizuru visited the graveyard. She didn't go alone though. Saitou was there and Hijikata was on his way.
"So, what was so important that all three of us are here? I paid my respects today already." Saitou said, trying not to show that he was sad that the men who he considered brothers were dead.
"One, don't try acting tough and two I used the Elixir-"
"You used the Elixir! Why? You know you are going to die." Saitou said worriedly.
"Don't worry; I didn't use it on myself. I fixed the Elixir so it could bring the dead back to life. I found a dead animal and put a drop of the Elixir on it and it came back to life. So I know it works." Chizuru replied.
She put a flower on each grave and poured a drop of Elixir on the grave. She waited five minutes, but nothing happened. She ran to Saitou, whom left her stay there and cry.
"I-i-it didn't work. They aren't coming back to life. What did I do wrong?" Chizuru said crying on Saitou's jacket.
"Chizuru it's okay. This was a 40/60 chance. You tried everything you could." Saitou said soothingly.
"No I didn't." *sniffle* "I should have been able to bring them back to life." Chizuru said. Chizuru looked up and saw that she had cried all over Saitou's jacket. "I-I'm sorry. I cried all over you jacket." She said.
At that moment Kazama and Hijikata came. Heisuke was coming out of his grave as they were arriving.
"What's wrong, Chizuru?" Hijikata asked.
"Is there a party I wasn't invited to?" Kazama asked.
"No. You guys can go back home. What I was doing didn't work." She answered.
"Are you sure?" Hijikata asked.
"Oh stop trying to be a big hero, Hakuouki, you two broke up a while ago." Kazama said.
Hijikata looked mad. Chizuru buried her face deeper into Saitou's jacket and cried.
"You jerk! Did you make Chizuru cry?" Heisuke yelled swinging at Kazama.
"Ch-Ch-Chizuru look." Saitou was saying. Chizuru shook her head.
"I really think you should turn around Chizuru."Hijikata said.
At that very moment all of the others came back to life.
"Whoa, what's going on?" Okita asked.
Hey, what's wrong with Chizuru?" Harada asked.
"She is crying. It means something is upsetting her." San'nan-san answered.
"Chizuru turn around." Saitou commanded. Chizuru turned around and gasped.
"It worked, Hajime. It worked!" Chizuru yelled.
"Well, I'll see you next time Chizuru." Kazama said and disappeared. Hijikata and Heisuke were panting.
"Are you two okay?" Chizuru said running over and throwing Heisuke into a huge hug. "I missed you." She said crying.
"I missed you and your smile." Heisuke said. "Can you show me one?" So she smiled for him.
"Let's go back to the dojo," Harada said," I need to wash. I'm covered in dirt." he said. So, they went back to the dojo. Chizuru's left arm wrapped around Saitou's arm, and her right arm around Heisuke's. All the guys surrounded her. They were back, and this time she was going to make sure that they would stay.
*Swoosh*
A katana came flying at Chizuru, but Saitou caught it just in time.
"You shouldn't have brought them back. They died for a reason. They should have stayed down there. This is a warning." A mysterious voice said from above them.
