I don't have the best spelling.

But no flaming please.

How did I get in this situation again. One moment I was being chased and the next I had a sword pointed at my throat. The sent coming from these two no three people they smell like blood. The next thing I saw was darkness. I woke up tied up in a room an old man that kind of looked like an uncle came in and started untieing the ropes and lead me to a room full of men who all smelled of blood. I recognized the three of the men and their smells the one with dark purple hair; who smelled of blood and sweat. Then there was the red haired one who smelled of blood and sweets. And the last one she remembered from last night he had jet black hair that is tied up in a high pony tail; he smelled of blood and paper and ink. Then there was three other men that smelled of blood and sake.

The smallest of the three piped up and said "this kid is the witness he's tiny."

I was about to say something when the tallest on with red hair tied up in a ponytail said in a teasing voice "you're one to talk Heisuke your about the same size as him."

The boy named Heisuke snapped back "shut up old man!"

The red haired man looked at the smaller boy and said "old man? Me not so much but Shinpachi is another story."

The muscle one stared at his friend and said "Sano you basterd!"

Then the one that smelled of blood and paper and ink yelled "hay shut up! Your being loud." Then he looked at me with narrowed eyes and said "now how about you tell us what you were doing there so late at night?"

I replied with a truthful answer. "I was looking for my father Kodo Yukimura. But as I was fallowing his sent I ran into those men with red eyes and white hair and after that I ran into you three and by the way you knocking me out was not nesasary if you wanted me to go with you for something I would have."

After I told them my answer they looked at me astonished. The first one to snap out of the surprise he was in shot me with another question. "So you're the doctors douter what is your name? and what do you mean when you say that you're fallowing his sent? You mean it as a fier of speech right?"

I shook my head and said "No I mean it literally my sense of smell is as good as a wolfs sense of smell I can find anyone or any thing as long as I know the sent. And my name is Chizuru Yukimura and you the one who has the longest pony tail I'm a girl so don't call me a he."

Heisuke looked a little saprised. The man who had the black hair spoke up again. "Anyways I have decided that you should stay with us you would be of good use to us in finding stuff. You will stay with us under the pretext of being someone's page like Kondou San or Sanan san's."

Then the man that smelled of blood and sweets said; "No way Hijikata San you brought her back you should be the one to take care of her. And follow up question Chizuru chan what do we smell like to you?"

I thought for a second wether I should answer his question or not but then decided to humor him and tell him. I pointed to hijikata and said "you smell like blood and paper and ink." Then I pointed to the guy who asked me the question and said "you smell like blood and sweets. What's your name by the way?"

He replied with a laugh and said " I am Okita Souji and this is Hajimae Siato." He pointed to the person with the perpole hair tied in a low pony tail. "Then there's Hijikata San and Sanan San and the Baka treo Sanoske Harada, Shinpachi Nagakura, and Heisuke and finally there's Kondou San. Ok can you continue with the whole smell thing."

I complied with telling each of them there sent. After everyone looked at me like I was some foreign binging. Then he sighed

Hijikata spoke up again. "That aside you will stay with us until you find your father. In the meantime you will work to help us got that?!"

I stiffened and nodded. Hijikata gave a "humph!"

Okita San turned twored me and said in a tesing vice "Isn't it great you get to live for now that is.."
