Prologue
I never imagine I would feel the pain I was feeling at that moment as I read the letter a man had handed to me from Hijikata, who was suppose to meet me at the diner for lunch.
Chizuru
Forgive me for having to do this in this manner but I have departed.
I fear the war will be too much to have you come along and so I want you to live your life to the fullest and leave Edo while you still can.
Your safety means a great deal to me and hope you have a wonderful long life.
No words can describe how much your presence with us has affected us and for that we will always cherish you.
Sincerely
Vice Commanser of the Shinsengumi
Toshizo Hijikata
I stared at the letter, blinking severely times making sure I was reading every word exactly.
"I should be with you..." I murmured as I suddenly felt dread.
Surly he hasn't...
Without wasting any time, I ran toward the direction of the headquarters with all my might as I prayed it wasn't what i was thinking.
As I came across the entrance my heart contstrited.
The once filled place which I called my home was now empty and deserted.
They were all gone...he was gone...
Feeling tears form in my eyes I collapsed and began to cry.
