"Soji come get Emi" told Hijikata

Soji stood up and went to get his daughter. She was curled in a ball around Hijikata`s poetry book. He bent down and picked her up to take her for a walk. As they passed the pig pen Saizo ran up to join them on the walk. As they left the headquarters they passed the bridge where he sat down Emi to throw a bone for Saizo. As Saizo ran to catch the bone he hit a red haired kid in the face and they both fell in the river. Papa went to help the boy get up while I got Saizo and ran off to get the bone. After we came back I saw Papa and the men seating down to get food as a apology. I set Saizo down to run to Papa. I as I got to Papa I saw Saizo and the boy glaring at each other. I giggled and they both turned to me. Then Saizo turned to bit the boys foot. After the tea and the food was out we turned to leave them. I walked off and left Papa.

I was walking down the street and turned a corner. As I continued walking I ended up at the river again. I looked at my reflection in the river what I saw was my baby blue kimono with a pale purple obi and my hair color was the same as Papa was cut with bangs with my long hair in two buns tied with baby blue ribbons. My purple colored eyes the same as Papa but a little brighter looked at the sky. I then turned around to walk back home. As I entered I heard a commotion at the training hall. As I walked to it I passed Hijikata-oji room.

"Hijikata-oji whats going on" I asked

He looked at me then said "Yamazaki whats going on"

"Shinsengumi hopful it appears" he continued "some boy Tetsunosuke Ichimura"

"I know the boy Papa was talking to" I interuppted

"He is sparring with Okita-sensei"

With that said Oji-san got up and bargged out of the room with me trailing behind. As we got close to the training hall Tetsu broke through one of the walls. Soon people came out and so did Papa.

"It's over" stated Kondo-ojii

Papa then walked out and said "No, not yet"

Tetsu then stood up and walked forward as did Papa. When Papa walked down he had that look. I saw Oji-san move to block Papa's blow. As Papa said sorry I ran up to hug his leg. As the adults continued talking Papa put a hand on my head. Oji-san then walked away. Then everyone slowly left then me and Papa as well. Later that dad as Papa was tucking me in bed left to talk to Oji-san. After he left I slowly drifted off to sleep. Later that night I heard Papa getting ready for the ambush. After he was done he kissed my head then left. I went back to sleep after I heard him lay down for bed on the futon next to me.

When I woke up Papa was grabbing my Kimono. I went to put my futon away. Papa then helped me change into my kimono and put up my hair. I then went to the kitchen to help Ayu-nee.

"Ayu-nee do you need help" I asked

"Yep would you wash the rice" she answered

I got up to the rice and took her spot so she could finish the other things. After I was done washing the rice she helped me put them on to cook. After that she had me go wake up the guys. After I woke them up I went to get the others. As I continued to look for the others I realized I was next to Hijikata-oji's room. I knocked and waited for a reply.

"Yes" he said

"Oji-san the food is almost ready" I stated

"Ok I will be out soon I am talking to Soji" he stated

"Ok" I said as I ran off to find the rest

After I was done I went back to Ayu-nee. She then asked me to carry some things to the dinning hall. After we finished bringing things in the guys seated. After they were served me and Ayu-nee went to take our seats as well. Ayu-nee sat next to her brother and I sat next to Papa. After that we all started to eat. After that Ayu-nee and me cleaned up. As soon as I finished I ran to look for Papa. I saw him around the cornor I jumped into his arms.

"Hi, Emi-chan would you like to come with us" asked Papa

I nodded my head excitedly. Papa continued to hold me till we got in front of Tetsu. He put me down to hold onto his hand as he looked at Tetsu. I noticed Oji-san opened the umbrella. Then I looked back at Tetsu.

"I will fear nothing, not even demons" Tetsu randomly stated
