Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan fanfic
A Secret Revealed
femSaitoj/Okita
Hey its Ani here! this is my first Hakuouki fanfic and i noticed that there actually weren't any gender bender in this story (is there any?) so this is my take on a femSaito x Okita fic! This is sort of an AU so the characters may be a bit out of character! i know i should be working on my other stories, but i just recently had this idea and i just have to get it out! i hope you guys will like it!
Saito: ...
Okita: ... hmmnn
Ani: *sweatdrops*
Chizuru: is something wrong?
Saito: ~sigh~
Okita: *smirks*
Ani: ok they're creeping me out now! so on with the story!
Disclaimer: Hakuouki does not belong to me if it did i would be in heaven to know how to create such handsome guys!
Chapter 1
It has been raining everyday for the past week and it had been at least a full two weeks since Saito Hajime had left for his requested mission from Kondou. The Shinsengumi were not worried for their captain, but it is starting to worry Kondou because he knew the reason behind Saito's sudden request. It was to settle family business that no one, but Kondou knows. 'I hope everything is all right. Maybe this is for the best…' Kondou looked out his window at the full moon shining so brightly through the clouds.
In the midst of the heavy rain, if one were to go out, they would see a lone man dressed in black with two katanas at his side walking in the rain. This man was Saito Hajime from the Shinsengumi. He had just come back from his mission and it was a success, but if one looks closely, he was limping. He had finally reached headquarters and it was dinnertime for them. However, he was not in the mood.
"Ah! Saito-san, welcome back! Would you like some dinner?" Chizuru came up to him with a smile.
"No thank you, Chizuru. I'll just report to Kondou-san and go back to my room to rest." Saito gave a small smile to the girl and walked towards Kondou's room. He bumped into Kondou in the hallway and reported his mission a success.
"Ok, glad to see you back, Saito." Kondou smiled, "You coming to dinner or going to rest?"
"I'll be going back to rest, sir." Saito replied and bowed before he left to his room.
Saito's POV
I heaved a sigh and continued my way to my room. I really need to change out of my wet clothes and rest. "Ugh…haa…haa…" Great, now I have a fever. I tried to quicken my pace, but the gash on my right leg reopened and started bleeding again. "Haa…haa…haa…" Now I'm losing blood. I felt dizzy and steadied myself by leaning on the wall. I urged my body to go, I was almost there, just need to pass Okita's room. I was struggling to keep my body from collapsing, but halfway to my room my vision turned black.
Okita's POV
I decided not to eat dinner today to just sit by the garden to do some moon watching. Despite the wet grounds from the rain, the garden was still beautiful. I smiled wistfully, thinking back to my childhood when I was still so young.
~Flashback~
"Hey, girly, want to come play with me?" a burly man grabbed the wrist of a beautiful fifteen year old girl with long glistening violet hair and big sparkling azure eyes.
"L-Let go!" she struggled to get her hand back.
"C'mon, I promise you'll have fun." He towered over the poor girl. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"N-No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed.
SMACK!
I kicked the guy in the head quickly grabbed the girl and fled.
"Souji…thank you for saving me… but I –"
I cut her off and smirked, "Chidori, you should be more careful next time. I won't always be there to save you." Teasing her was so much fun because it always made her blush and it just so adorable. 'Cute!' I thought to myself.
"Souji, I know how to fight!" Chidori pouted cutely.
"Then why didn't you fight him?" I know she is really good with the sword since her father, the vice captain of the Shinsengumi, taught her.
"I-I was scared of that guy, ok?" her face turned red and I knew it took a lot of courage from her to admit that.
I smiled softly, "Don't worry, I'll always be there to protect you, Chidori-chan."
She smiled and gave me a peck on the cheek, "Thank you."
I blushed and turned my head away, "N-No problem. Chidori-chan."
"Hmm?" she smiled.
"Umm… You look good in you summer kimono today."
"T-Thank you."
We walked around town in silence and window shopped a bit. I noticed her staring at a beautiful hair ornament and decided to buy it for her.
"Please wrap this up for me." I handed the money to the merchant.
"Ehh?" Chidori was shocked.
"Here, let me put it on for you." I placed it nicely on her hair.
"T-Thank you, but you didn't have to." She tried to reason.
I know that in a few years she will have to marry and even if I never learned her family name, I know for a fact that she will have to marry the man her parents choose. It hurts to think that because I love her. We knew each other since we were ten and we promised not to reveal our last names. I only knew her father as the vice captain of the Shinsengumi and never his name. This girl in front of me melted my heart and I want to be with her.
"Chidori-chan, I have something important to tell you." I looked her in the eyes seriously, "I love you."
"Ehhh! You're serious, right?" her face was all red and her eyes wide.
"Of course! I swear I will only love you and no one else and I want to marry you!" I confessed wholeheartedly.
Her face was so red it resembled a cherry and I could feel mine heating up, too.
"I-I love you, too, Souji! I always did, but marriage, um… we are a bit young for that." I was so happy she loved me too!
"Chidori, if your parents won't let me marry you, I will take you away with me or I will prove to them my worthiness." I was determined because I really am deeply in love with this beautiful girl.
"Ok, this will be a promise then." She smiled at me and gave me a big hug.
However, the next day, I never saw her again. I thought she lied to me, but then the news of the vice captain of the Shinsengumi died in battle protecting citizens hit the town, it made me realize that it was her father who died. I asked around town and they told me Chidori and her mother moved away from Kyoto to somewhere else. I knew Chidori had no choice in this and I vowed to get stronger to find Chidori. In order to do that, I trained hard with my sword and joined the Shinsengumi.
~Flashback End~
"Where are you now, Chidori?" I just stared at the moon and sighed. She must have grown into a beautiful woman now. I wondered if she remembered her promise.
"Okita-san would you like some tea?" Chizuru asked holding a tray with a teapot and two teacups.
"Ahh…thank you, Chizuru-chan." I smiled.
"You seem to have a lot on your mind."
"As observant as always, Chizuru-chan."
"I won't pry. Why don't you bring this to Saito-san, Okita-san? He didn't eat dinner, so maybe some tea. I have to go help out in the kitchen for preparing some of tomorrow's breakfast, so if you can, please do so." She smiled.
"Ok, I'm gonna go back now, since my room is beside Saito's I'll take it to him." I picked up the tray and walked away.
I was walking down the hall and I noticed a trail of blood on the ground. 'Whose blood is this?' I followed it slowly and prepared for the worst. When I turned the corner I dropped the tray. On the ground in a pool of blood was Saito Hajime.
"Saito!"
