Chizuru POV
It was a quiet night in Kyoto, but to Chizuru, it was anything but a quiet night. She ran through the streets, running from outlaws. She hid before they could find her. She gasped for breath when she heard footsteps coming her way. "He's a fast little brat" complained one of the outlaws "We can't let him get too far... find him!" She heard one of the men coming her way, but a loud cry came not far down the street. Insane laughter could be heard. Chizuru quickly had a peak from where she was hiding and wished she hadn't. Two men with blue and white haori's with snow white hair and eyes the colour of bright red blood, one repeatedly stabbing the corpse of the outlaw that cried in pain earlier.
Chizuru couldn't look any more and hid again hoping that she wouldn't be killed, she had to find her dear father, that she lost contact with a few months ago, desperately hoping to find him. She heard the last surviving outlaw shout at the strange non-human men, but hearing Katana's clash and the sudden drops of blood that could be seen from where she was, was a hopeless feeling for survival.
She covered her ears and closed her eyes shut, waiting for the pain of death, she could hear more of the daunting laughter... that was cut off. She opened her eyes to see a Katana in her face, the man who held it was beautiful in a manly sort of way. The snow fall's like unseasonal cherry blossoms caught in the wind, was the last thought she had before darkness took over.
Chizuru woke up with her hands tied and her mouth gagged. 'Where am I?' she thought. She looked at her waist to find that her Kodachi wasn't there, she panicked and started to look around. "Looks like you've woken up" She looked at the opened door to find a middle-aged man, or maybe a bit older smiling at her. "my apologies for souji, he really does take things to far, tying you up to tightly." He stood up and knelt down next to her "I'll untie you... please wait". When he finally untied her, she immediately asked where she was and who is he. " My name is Inoue Genzaburou, and this is the Shinsengumi Head-Quarters..."
