A/N: I planning to make it a shot one, but first wanted to explain the OC background a little bit. And of course the legal disclaim; I don't own Hakuouki, this story is a fanfiction only and unfortunately I gain no money out of this.

Hakuouki: Demon's Child

18 Years Ago

A woman in her mid 30's walked in the woods looking for herbs. The chirps of the birds and the slight sound of the leaf as the winds move them. Also can be seen the light passing thru the trees. While walking she heard a faint cry. Her curiosity gets the best of her and goes to the source of the noise and sees a small baby, not even a year old. Have a cloth covering the baby, but is full of blood. She panic and pick the baby and strip of the cloth. To her relief the baby is unharmed, but whose blood is? The baby is a girl, is cold to the touch, looked like she was out all night in the wood.

She takes the baby and goes to her house. On the way start listening to people talking about a village in the other side that was burn to the ground and start to think that there must be where the baby came from. Waited for her husband to return, during that time she starts making some baby clothes and make sure to feed the baby. Her husband arrives and the baby.

"Who's that baby?" The man gets close to see the small child sleeping next to his wife.

"Found her in the woods, in a rag full of blood." Start telling the tale of how she comes to find the baby.

"Well, is getting late, tomorrow we take her to the magistrate and report it." He has to do what its right and the baby need to go to the authority.

"Toru!" She walks to him and hold his hand. "Please can we just take care of her and raise her, please!?"

"Sawaka, you know is not our child, maybe someone is looking for her. . ."

"NO THERE ARE NOT!" Sawaka screams, she fear that something will happen to the child. She could be sent to a place that later sell her to the red light district or being a slave.

"Sawaka" Toru hug her and hear her rant.

"I heard that a village nearby was burn and that there were no survivor, I think that if we gave the baby to the magistrate something horrible will happen to her."

"Sawaka. . ."

"She could be from that village." Sawaka is letting all out. "Please Toru, let me have this selfish wish."

"I was afraid that you wanted to keep her, because I failed as a man to give you a child." Toru pain came to realized, he wanted to keep the baby away from his wife.

"Toru, yes, I wanted a child so much for a long time. But I love you more, that I gave up that. But this is different, she need us."

5 Years Ago

A young Chouka was playing and running close to a cliff with her school friends. They were trying to get to the cave that is in one of the side.

"Too slow, Uzi, too slow." One of the classmates scream at another that was behind.

Chouka is trying to catch up to them, until she lost one of her footing and fall down the cliff at a huge distance, one that can cause a lot of damages. The classmates ran down and called for help, a search party mobilized to look for 13 years old girl that fall and probably broke a bone of her body or worse died. Thankfully was her father that found her asleep at the bottom of the cliff and noticed that all the blood was dried, she was dirty and no broken bones, she was fine. Her clothes only show the extent of the damages that she endures in the fall.

He admits that at first was really scare of losing her, then happy to see her fine. But he is worried of what could happen to her. He did some quick thinking and wraps her in his cape and carried her sleeping body and pretended that she suffered some injury. No major to take her to a doctor or a clinic, but enough excuse to take her home.

While Chouka is home to "get" better he went to investigate the remains of the village that Sawaka mentioned many years ago, he never bother to look for answer because the least he knew how his daughter ended up with them, less the pain. He used to be a samurai for a daimyo before getting together with his wife. He heard stories of demons that could fight for the lords in the past. What he found out was the name of the clan that lived in the villages: Suzumori.

Later that month he moves his family to the country side of the town and instructed Chouka never to tell about that incident or the ability to heal. Sawaka and Toru wonder if she was a demon or the result of a demon and a human getting together. Chouka didn't show the trait that they thought was common of demons. She eat normal food, grew up at a normal rate and only for the fact that she was able to heal really quickly nothing out of the ordinary.

Present

There this small town that has a house in the outside, lives elderly couple that has a daughter. Chouka Seina, 18, like to read and the outdoor.

She have the ages that many in that time could considered a "getting" old and need to get married fast. Instead Chouka never looked at the idea of marriage, because that could mean leaving her parents alone.

Chikage POV's

Human are so pitiful creatures, greedy, treacherous and ignorant. I came to this filthy place after I heard some rumors about the Suzumori Clan, a legendary clan that mostly of their members where women demons, even the head of the family was female demon. A clan that went into complete hiding and no one were able to find. Since female demons are rare, that clan was so guarded as the only hope to the survival and existence of the demon kind.

Was a legend to me until I saw a pendant with their insignia in a stall in Kyoto, caught my interest, to even hunt down the people that "found" it. Wasn't easy, even I had to give up the chase of that foolish female that wants to be surrounded by those insects, the Shinsegumi.

Shiranui and Amagiri are working for the human. So is my time to check this myself. Amagiri continue to tell me that I have to fulfill the agreement with the human. That it's foolish to look for a clan that doesn't exist. I will continue to look for our kind, to find peace and live away from these insects that can only cause pain and death to us demons, the irony is that they cause so many manslaughter and bloodshed, and have the audacity of calling us monsters.

I walked to the place pointed by that the man that found the pendant. No surprise to find, ruins, abandoned and evidence of a battle. Like the Yukimura clan this one was probably attacked by the daimyo soldier and killed off. What a shame, really hoping to find indication to a secluded village and some fellow demons that really lived up to the rules and their pride. Killed for the greed of the human, sickening.
