Chapter 1: His Child
"Are you sure you can take care of her?" my beautiful wife asked me. With a smile I tell her "Of course I can. You can count on me Ayane." I said it with confidence as my little girl watched me through young excited eyes. She was simply happy to see her Otou-san and I could not help but feel guilty for it. Commanding the Shinsengumi meant that he had only seen his beautiful child a handful of times.
The amazing thing was that despite having not seen him often she remembered him and was always happy to see him. Ayane claimed that she was a daddy's girl. Yet here we stood with my daughter's arms wrapped around her mother's legs tightly while she stared at me intently. "Here are some of the things she will need during her stay." Ayane chuckled as she watched our daughter and handed a bag over to me. She continued "You will be surprised by how adventurous she is and is bound to climb trees and other things to get to higher places." I turned surprised eyes at her and then glanced between Ayane and our child.
With a motherly smile she patted our daughter's head which gained her attention. Ayane kneeled down and kissed her forehead "Be good for your daddy while I am away Hanae." Hanae nodded and hugged her mother around her neck before turning to me and slowly, almost questioningly, raising her arms. She wanted me to pick her up. Obliging I bended low and scooped her up easily and faced my wife once more. She smiled at the sight of us and kissed me chastely "I would not have asked you to do this if I did not have to go so far for business." She sighed but smiled again before waving and leaving the Shinsengumi headquarters.
