Congratz to me! My first fanfiction! Well I just hope you enjoy!
"Chizuru! Get out as fast as you can and don't turn back, just keep going!"
Chizuru heard the screams of her parents within the living room, she knew she had to save them, but she could not disobey the command of her loving father. Holding back tears she ran out the house to the dark streets of Kyoto. Chizuru ran until she fell to her knees. She finally let out her tears and quiet sobs filled the streets of Kyoto. "Why..? Mother... Father..." Why am I so stupid!? I should have helped them! I would do anything to get them back... But it's too late to change that. Chizuru wiped away her tears forcefully and stood. Maybe I still have time to help them! I just have to hope and believe I can make it on time! Chizuru ran as fast as she could back to her house filled with joy and wonderful memories. "Mother... Father... Please be okay!" The smell of blood got stronger and stronger as she ran towards her beloved home. She ran past the door and straight into the living room where she last saw her parents. "...! W-what..." Her parents were lying on the floor, lifeless. "No.. It can't be..." Chizuru didn't hold back the tears this time, she let them trickle down her red cheeks.
"Looks like I forgot someone..." Chizuru turned her head back and saw a tall man with mesmerizing red eyes. "W-who are you! Did you kill my parents?!" The cold glare of the man pierced her heart like a sword. "This is not the time for you to ask questions little human." He took a step towards Chizuru. "S-stay away from me!" He kept on moving towards her. But then someone appeared in front of the Chizuru. "Kazama, what are you doing in a place like this? The Satsuma clan requested to see you immediately." Chizuru was too shocked to move because of the other man who appeared out of thin air. "Those low life humans... Amagiri! We're going back now!" Then they disappeared. "W-what just happened...? Please tell me this is all just a nightmare!" Chizuru looked back at her parents. "Mother, father, I'll never forget you... Never.."
Chizuru walked around the house and was going to collect all her belongings that still held her memories. "Huh? What's this?" Something shiny was under the dining table. "A sword? But this one has weird markings on it..." She studied it for a long time and finally decided to take it along with her. She was done gathering her stuff and placed them in a pile. "Now.. To bury my parents..." she couldn't help but sob the rest of the day. She prayed and took her belongings and left.
Chizuru had little money but she had enough to stay at an inn for a couple of days. She unpacked her stuff and only carried with her the mysterious sword found at her home, she didn't know how to use one, but she thought of it as good luck charm since it had all those strange markings on it.
Chizuru decided to dress up as a boy because it would seem unlikely for a woman to carry around a strange-looking sword on her waist. "Let's see where I should go to today, maybe I should walk around town." The streets were busy as usual but sometimes there were crimes like stealing, fighting, or some other weird thing going on. "Hey kid! Nice sword you got there! Mind handing it over?!" You've got to be kidding me! What should I do know? I don't know how to fight or hold a sword... "HELP!" Chizuru screamed as loud as she could. "What are you doing! Seems we will take it by force!" The man grabbed both of Chizuru's wrists and held them in the air. "See, when we ask for something, you give it up." The rest of his "buddies" started to pull on the sword out of her waist. But for some reason, it wouldn't come out. "Umm the sword won't come out!" Chizuru looked down and noticed it too. "What! You guys are useless! You can't even pull out a sword out of a little boy's waist! Move over!" He let go of Chizuru's wrists. Now's my chance! Chizuru started to run for it. The man grabbed her fast enough to make her stop. "Stop! Let me go!" A man appeared behind him. "Ganging up on a little girl? That's even low for you people.." He unsheathed his sword and used the back side of his to sword to knock him out cold. "You okay?" The man had violet eyes and black flowing hair. Then suddenly Chizuru's sword started to glow uncontrollably. "What is this!?" Chizuru started to turn and run. "Wait!" he grabbed Chizuru's shoulder. "Hijikata-San. Your making a scene. And what are you doing here with this girl?" Hijikata looked around only to see a large crowd looking at them. He then let go of Chizuru's shoulder. "Souji, we're heading back." Chizuru looked confused but turned back to go to the place she was staying at.
"Neh Hijikata-San, did you see her sword glow?" Hijikata didn't answer. "Meeting a girl dressed as a man with an unusual sword..."
"Hijikata-San?"
He muttered a few last words. "What a strange day this has been..."
So, as you know, I deleted my second chapter because I didn't really like how it went on and on about random stuff that I came up with. So I will be doing a different chapter 2. Don't worry to all my readers. I will try to make it more interesting and better. Thanks again for reading!
