Hey guys! This is my first fanfic, so I would really appreaciate reviews.

NOTE: I DO NOT OWN HAKUOUKI OR ANY OF ITS AMAZING CHARACTERS.

Summary: This is the story of the playful, sarcastic, (good-looking), and determined Souji Okita. I will try to somewhat follow his story to the game, but it will have some of my own extras.


Chapter 1: The Encounter

The night was cold and windy. The sky was a marvelous painting, with the moon casting a silver glow to the clouds surrounding it. No one was out in the city of Kyoto, which was expected considering it was the middle of the night. Okita Souji was running through the empty streets, his steps barely a whisper. A smirk was plastered on his face; his hand was already on the hilt of his sword, anxious to kill. He knew that his current situation was serious, but he could not help his need for fun. His eyes scanned the streets carefully for any of the furies that had escaped from headquarters. He suddenly stopped when he heard the distant moans and rasping laughter of the furies. He approached the alley, almost letting out a laugh of glee, but his hopes vanished when he turned into the corner. He saw his comrade standing calmly next to the dead corpses of the monsters, he had finished the job.

"What a pity", Souji almost whined.

A pair of stoic blue eyes met Souji's emerald gaze.

"I wanted to kill both of them myself. You were fast this time, Hajime-kun", Souji sighed afterwards in defeat.

"I only did as my duty required", Saito Hajime replied in his usual monotoned voice.

Souji finally caught up to him when he noticed a girl, hidden behind several small crates, staring up at the two men in awe and fright. Souji grinned at the girl's terrified expression when her huge brown orbs met his. Before she could say anything, she gasped when she caught sight of a sword just inches away from her throat.

"Listen, don't try to run", a familiar stern voice commanded.

"If you try to run, I'll kill you", threatened Hijikata Toshizou.

The girl must have been ultimately frightened because she seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. Snow started to fall gently, it was illuminated beautifully to look like sakura petals. Souji nearly laughed at the irony of the scene. Beautiful snow falling on the dead, atrocious corpses. His attention shifted to sound of the girl's body hitting the ground.

"My, my, did she faint because you scared her, Hijikata-san?" Souji inquired in his playful tone, while kneeling down next to the girl's body.

"Vice-captain, what do we do with the bodies?", Saito asked without getting off track.

"Just remove their coats and let the inspectors handle the rest", Hjikata didn't hesitate to respond, ignoring Souji's first remark. Saito then proceeded to removing the coats.

"What do we do with this one?", Souji shifted the attention back to the girl.

Hijikata furrowed his brows at the girl's limp body.

"...We'll take her back to the headquarters with us", Hijikata instructed.

"Eh? Is it safe not to kill her? She saw what happened", Souji quesitoned. It would have been easier to just kill her now before she could tell anyone about tonight's events, plus it would have saved Souji the effort of dragging her to headquarters. Hijikata paused for a moment, carefully thinking his response.

"We'll decide what we do with her after we return" Hijikata turned away, not wanting to further drag out the conversation. With that said, Hijikata and Saito started their way back towards headquarters, leaving Souji to carry the girl over his shoulder.

"This is going to be interesting...", a playful smirk stretched across Souji's face as he descended into the night towards home.


What do you guys think? There will be more soon to come, so stay tuned!
