Intro to the love interests.
I love Hakuouki but I hate the fact that Hijikata was the only one to have a love interest and I decided to add some characters into the story so each of them could have a love interest. I DO NOT OWN HAKUOKI OR ANYTHING OF THE FRANCHISE I AM JUST AS MUCH OF A FAN AS EVERYONE ELSE. Keeping the other guys alive of course, their death/leaving made me cry. This may turn to RATED M not sure yet, it all depends how many reviews i get back on the potential love interests. I have decided to use Koudou's love for Chizuru to have him search for some other devil protections. Luckily he stumbled across a family of devils, and they had 5 daughters. These 5 female devils were used as Chizurus secret protectors ( like Kimikiku to Sen). Chizuru sees the 5 as her neighbors kids and often played with them as a child. Trained at a young age, they were taught to become ninjas to protect Chizuru. The older two knew the purpose for the training and knew of the exsistence of devils, but not the younger three. No one but Koudou knows of these 5 being devils, (Not even Kazama), they were kept secret since female devils were such a rarity. After the girls found out that Chizuru went to the capitol to find her father without telling them, the five set off to Kyoto in hope of finding Chizuru. Starting from the oldest daughter here are their bios and why i think they would be a perfect match.
1st pairing: Sanosuke Harada x Mizuna (Mizu) Kei
Mizuna is 21 and 5'9" and the strongest and tallest out of the five. She has a keen eye for detecting liars and has a kind heart when it comes to young upcoming fighters. She's stubborn and always wants to keep her sisters in line. She has black hair and bright yellow eyes and her body measurements are a 4-2-4. she also got a job as a geisha in Shimabara to make ends meet when they couldn't find Chizuru but her real occupation is being a spy for lords. She's crafty with a sword and loves any challenge that comes her way. Mizuna would be perfect for Sanosuke because she loves a man who's mature and yet playful and Sanosuke would love her since she can take anyone on in a fight.
2nd pairing: Souji Okita x Haruhi Kei
Haruhi is 19 5' 8" the second oldest but the smartest. She the brainiac when it comes to strategies and keeping a level head. Unlike her sister Mizuna, she would rather make fun of an upcoming fighter than praise them. She's ambitious, loves a good fight and doesn't believe in backing down. She also loves Chizuru with all her heart, and like Mizuna she works at Shimabara but only as a cook. Her body measurements are a 4-3-4 with hazel brown eyes and light brown hair. Her special weapon is daggers and anything she can throw. Haruhi is sadistic like Souji and Souji would love her sarcastic personality.
3rd pairing: Shinpachi Nagakura x Nina Kei
Nina is 18, 5'6" and she is talkative. She's very honest and the best cook out of all the siblings. Unlike her older sisters she doesn't know how valuable Chizuru really is, her identity as a devil is a secret even to her. She loves animals and tries to take them home every time she sees a stray. She has bright yellow eyes like Mizu but the darkest shade of black as her hair color. Her body measurements are 3-2-3 and her special weapon of choice are her knifes. Nina would be perfect for Shinpachi since her cooking skills are amazing and how else is Shinpachi going to feed those muscles?
4th pairing: Saito Hajime x Iya Kei
Iya is 5'5, the prettiest but the shortest of the sisters at the age 17. Her eyes are hazel brown eyes and light brown hair she's nickname 'the snake' because she can be the sneakiest one ever. She keeps an open mind and loves children with all her heart. She's an excellent hunter and can be a problem to calm down when she loses her temper. She doesn't know anything about the devils but it never stopped her from putting up a good fight, especially when her sisters are involved. Her body measurements are 3-2-3 and her special weapons are her sharp tongue and poison darts. She's perfect for Saito since her charm couldn't be fooled by him, so she'd have to be honest and win him over.
5th pairing: Heisuke Toudou x Tamaki (Tama) Kei
Tama is 5'6", the youngest of the 5 and younger than Chizuru at the age of 16. Her honey brown hair and yellow eyes give away the innocence and the shyness of her personality. She's brilliant when it comes to money and funding, but has a problem speaking her mind. She loves being a hard worker and although she has the same amount of training as her sisters, Tama would rather be a housewife then work as a ninja. Her body measurements are 3-2-2 and her special weapon is her sword. Tama is perfect for Heisuke because she's the total opposite and Heisuke could show her exactly how exciting the world really is.
Reunion
The setting will take place when the Shinsengumi protected the castle in end of the episode "The Fetters of Fate". When Kazama, Shiranui, and Kuyuji encounter Chizuru alone at the dead of night. As Kazama tells her about the devils, he tries to take her but instead of Hijikata coming to save her, Haruhi kicks the air between them causing Kazama to move back. Mizuna draws her sword and stands in front of Chizuru. Tamaki, and Nina stand beside Mizuna as Iya looks down ready to aim her poison darts.
Kazama stood there and looked at the five. "So, she isnt alone then." Just then Hijikata comes running over,"Chizuru!" Kuyuji looked at Kazama,"We should leave. We have no reason to come and fight, only to confirm." Kazama nodded, "You're right." He walks away as he snickered,"We will meet again. Female devils." Mizuna and Haruhi growl as the three leave. Chizuru looked around her and was in shocked,"You...guys…" The sisters sheathed her weapons and Tamaki hugs Chizuru,"We've missed you Chizu-chan!" Haijikata looked at the women as he arrived, in his demanding voice he asked,"Who are you all?"
Chizuru looked at him,"Hijikata-san, they're my friends from back in Edo." Mizuna nodded and bowed,"Forgive us, but we have been searching for Chizuru for quite sometime. We left on a mission and when we came home Chizuru was gone." Iya jumped down and added,"We're the Kei sisters of Edo, we've known Chizuru since we were kids and have become quite attached to her." Tamaki nuzzled into Chizuru's arms, happy to see her. Hijikata sighed,"I see...I am grateful that you protected her against that man, but please we are working now and you five could become a problem." Nina laughed,"Sorry, but do you see how we're dressed like your trusty Yamazaki? No one will find us once we hide, plus we'd worry. If that man comes again and tried to take Chizu then we may as well stay here again." Mizuna nodded,"We'll be in the shadows for tonight if you do not mind… Vice Commander Toshizo Hijikata." Hijikata raised a brow as Chizuru gasped,"How did you know-?" Tamaki answered,"We've known where you've been for weeks but we kept a close eye on you just in case things went bad."
Hijikata glared,"We have much to discuss but for tonight we have to be on patrol. Lets go Chizuru." Chizuru nodded,"Sir." She patted Tamaki and as she was free from the hug, Chizuru followed Hijikata. "Hey Mizu is it ok for us to let her go with him now that she knows about us?" Haruhi whispered, Mizuna nodded,"She knows and eventually our sisters will know." She whispered back,"Be prepared."
The next morning the girls followed in the shadows as Chizuru and the rest of the Shinsengumi went back to headquarters. Chizuru's expression was depressing to watch all day, until Kazama appeared in the garden again. Saito, Hijikata and Heisuke appeared to protect Chizuru. The girls jumped from their hiding spots and stayed behind Chizuru as a worried Heisuke kept an arm in front of Chizuru,"So, they are here as well." Kazama chuckled as he looked at Chizuru,"Female devil, we have Kodo on our side." Chizuru was shocked as the girls drew their weapons,"You lie!" Nina shouted,"You must have kidnapped him." Kazama shook his head,"Believe what you will but I tell the truth." With a chuckle he disappeared, Chizuru stood there shocked as the three ronin sheathed their weapons. Hijikata glared at the women,"You five have some explaining to do." The girls sheathed their weapons as well and prepared for some questioning.
The Kei sisters sat as Kondo and Hijikata faced them inside headquarters. Sanosuke, Shinpachi, Souji, and Saito leaned against the wall watching them. Heisuke kept guard outside the room, making sure Itou and his men didnt get suspicious. Kondo looked at the girls and smiled,"So you are all friends of Chizuru back from Edo am i correct?" The girls nodded as Mizuna begins the introductions,"I am the eldest daughter, Mizuna, but you may call me Mizu for short, i prefer it that way. Next is Haruhi, she is the brains when it comes to strategies. Nina, may be the middle child but she is our best cook. Next is Iya "the snake" do not be fooled by her charms, she's cunning like that. Last but not least is Tamaki, but we all call her Tama for short. We are the Kei sisters who have studied in the art of becoming ninjas by our father and grandfather. We may not look much but we are crafty."
Chizuru's eyes widened,"Ninjas? Really Mizu?" Mizuna turned and nodded at her,"We were trained to become this way ever since we were children. To protect you Chizu-chan." The men looked sternly as Souji asked,"Why Chizuru? Don't you think us here in the Shinsengumi protect her?" Haruhi glared at him,"Id rather have us protect her than a ghost looking ronin watch over our Chizu-chan."
Nina smacked Haruhi in the back of her head,"Watch your tongue, we are guests here." Mizuna looked at Souji,"What my sister means is it is because we are trained to do so, we'd feel better protecting her that yourselves and your furies." The captain and commanders eyes widen as Hijikata growled,"How do you know all of this?"
Mizuna began to explain the why and how of furies to them. How Chizuru is from one of the pure devil blood lines, how Kodo found the five and their family and asked them to watch over Chizuru from the shadows and in the light as friends. How they themselves were devils, Nina Iya and Tamaki widened their eyes, Tamaki whimpered," Mizu thats not true! We protect Chizu-chan because shes a secret princess right?"
Haruhi shook her head,"No Tama, we told you three that so you wouldnt know about the devils. We were going to tell you when Kodo-san came back from his trip here to the capitol but now it seems he's with the devil Kazama."
The guys looked at Chizuru and back at the girls. "Commander and Vice Commander, I beg you." She bowed her head,"Please allow my younger three sisters to stay here with Chizuru to protect her and allow Haruhi and I to serve as your spies like your Yamazaki." The girls looked at her sister and did the same as the four added,"Please we beg you." Kondo sighed and Hijikata made a face. Souji laughed as Shinpachi grinned,"Well Hijikata-san?" Kondo nodded,"Well if this devil is really aiming for Chizuru we have no choice but to allow this." Hijikata looked at him,"Kondo-san are you sure this is wise?" Kondo nodded.
The sisters raised their heads as they thanked them. Tamaki, Iya, and Nina are to stay at HQ as Haruhi and Mizuna go back to Shimabara to work for the night and keep their ears open for anything suspicous. Heisuke, Saito, and Shinpachi were in for a treat with these girls.
When Heisuke was told of what was going on, he went over to look at the girls, his eyes caught onto Tamakis which made him blush. Her honey brown hair and bright yellow eyes dazzled him and also telling him that this girl has innocence written all over. Iya whinned,"Maaan! I can't believe we are on kitchen duties. My beauty doesnt deserve this!" Nina glared and joked,"You could always go work at Shimabara." Tamaki could not stop looking at Heisuke and she kept blushing. Iya pouted at her sister,"Anything but that!" Heisuke walked over to her and smiled,"My name is Heisuke Toudou, whats yours?"
Tamaki looked down and said quietly,"Tamaki Kei. B-b-b-but call me Tama." Heisuke nodded,"Ok Tama. Would you like a tour of the castle so you wouldnt get lost?" Nina and Iya head this and grabbed onto each of his arms,"We would be delighted pretty boy!" Iya declared. Tamaki stood and Nina began to tug him,"Show us the way Heisuke-kun!" Heisuke groaned,"Hey wha-?" Tama giggled which made Heisuke blush. The four began to walk around as Heisuke gave them a tour.
