Hakuoki: An Unexpected Adventure
Hey everyone, While I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan, My friends got me hooked on Hakuoki, and I was just suddenly hit with the urge to write a fanfic with an OC.
I DO NOT OWN HAKUOKI! If I did I wouldn't have killed anyone off especially Yamazaki.
Chapter One
Hello, my name is Aryssa Tousani. I have black hair that reaches to the middle of my back that I usually have pulled up into either a high ponytail or a French twist, my eyes are a very unusual shade of purple that I have only honestly seen in some anime shows, and I stand at a whooping Five foot two. From the time I was a little girl I wanted to go on a grand adventure, but being your average Japanese American female I knew the chance of it ever happening in these technological times was slim to none. So imagine my surprise when on my 18th birthday I somehow managed to land smack dab in the middle of Kyoto, during the Warring States Era under the protection of the Wolves of Mibu, otherwise known as the Shinsengumi.
Though my family has lived in the United States for almost 4 generations I am as versed in the culture and history of Japan as I am with America. Because my great grandparents would tell me stories about when they lived in Japan I found myself very interested in the culture of Japan and somehow at the age of five I managed to talk my parents into allowing me to take Kendo and a few other ancient forms of Japanese martial arts. By the time I turned 15 I was ranked as one of the top Kendo and Kenjutsu students in the nation, As a reward for my efforts it was about this time when my parents decided to save up money enough to allow me to live in Japan for a year or two and as a result I ended up on a plane to Kyoto the day before I turned 18 unknowingly flying headlong into an unexpected but greatly welcomed adventure.
As my flight landed at Kansai International Airport and I collected my luggage I was met by a distant cousin whom I had only met once or twice as a little girl and taken to our family lands a few miles outside of Kyoto. Once we arrived I climbed out of the car and found myself looking at a huge Sakura Tree that was in full bloom and felt an almost physical pull towards it that I resisted after taking a few decent sized steps towards it. After watching it for several minutes I suddenly heard a voice speak up from behind me.
"That tree has been here for hundreds of years. It has stood as a silent witness to countless battles and still it stands strong. Though even I can feel its strength you seem to feel its pull as an almost physical thing. I believe you are destined for great things child." Turning around I found an older woman standing there and give her a deep bow out of respect.
"Thank you for the information and for opening your home to me." I say, "I am Aryssa Tousani."
"It is no problem child, you are after all part of this family." She says retuning my bow, "I am Hana and you look the spitting image of your great grandmother. I came to tell you that dinner will be ready in about thirty minutes."
"Thank you, Hana-Sama." I say and grabbing my bags I am shown to my room.
