Hi there, Ernestalice is back again! (yahho!)

I'm using one of my original Devil Fruit here, Neba Neba (Stick Stick) Fruit. If it's somehow been used already, then it's accident because I've checked it and I didn't find a similar one (peace).

So…enjoy (JAJANG)

Change of Fate

The snow had been falling everyday since we arrived at the town of Kyou. It's white all over the places. The cold began to attack through my deep crimson kimono to my skin. I even felt envious looking at Saitou's white scarf in front of me, while it made me wonder how Nagakura and Heisuke-kun could spend the time with their no-sleeve kimono. Maybe their skins were special.

As usual, we were taking our dinner in a wide room enough to hold more than 11 people inside. There were Kondou, the commander of Shinsengumi, five captains; Saitou, Okita, Nagakura, Heisuke-kun, and Sano; a middle-aged man called Gen-san, my stepsister Chizuru, and me. The vice-commander, Hijikata was not there at the moment. Together with a captain, Sannan-san, he was going out for a battle in Osaka. I heard that they would probably be coming back today.

As I put the fish into my mouth, I heard Heisuke-kun and Nagakura was fighting over their dishes again. I could see that it was their habit. I didn't forget that this morning they were doing a same thing, except for the one who took the other's dishes was the opposite. It didn't trouble me much. But, I could see that Chizuru's concerned with it as she couldn't move her eyes from them. The only one who cared to stop them was no other than Gen-san. I had this feeling of fatherhood from him since the first time we met, so I didn't surprise a little bit. And then I heard the door slid open.

Everyone was relieved and happy to see Hijikata back from the battle safely. But they changed their expressions looking at Sannan-san with the bandage over his hand tied up to his shoulder. It was told before in a letter that Sannan-san hurt his left arm during a battle, and thus it might cause him not to be able to wield a katana anymore. I thought he realized that everyone worried for him. So he smiled and left the room without any sign of trouble or pain.

Hijikata was about to continue his report, until he realized Chizuru and I were there and asked about this situation. We couldn't say anything, and fortunately everyone else was talking for us. For our persistence, Hijikata permitted us to eat together from now on at last. I was happy for Chizuru, too, though I never showed it on my face. And the dinner that day was one of my unforgettable memories in this world. That night after the dinner, Chizuru and I talked with Hijikata.

"…Umm…well, if you don't mind…could you please let us see Sannan-san's condition? …Maybe we…can fix his hand," I said nervously. He looked confused and didn't think we would be able to do it. But Chizuru convinced him that she had enough knowledge as a doctor and I would be able to help her, so Hijikata didn't have any other choice than to try to believe us this time. And that was the first time I let people other than Chizuru to know about my power.

Neba Neba Fruit, a strange fruit I found in another world full of pirates. I heard that there were many kinds of these strange fruits scattered all over that world and it was called Devil Fruits. The eater would be granted a power of devil, but would become a hopeless swimmer as they were cursed to die in the ocean. Of course, seawater was their weakness, too. Neba Neba Fruit or Stick Stick Fruit granted me the power to stick and connect anything together.

"It looks like the cut was too deep, so some of the nerves are broken," Chizuru said after she examined Sannan-san's wound. She let me to look, too, and waited my answer if I could or could not fix it. I closed my eyes and touched his wounded area. With my power, I could connect my sense of touch, through his skin and flesh, and found the broken nerves. My medical knowledge was zero. But I could reconnect based on the thing's memories. So it was a simple task for me to fix them and I just needed less than two minutes.

"Umm…it's over," I said after opening my eyes. Feeling unbelievable, Sannan-san tried to move his hand. Slowly, he began to regain the control. After another two minutes, he was looking speechless, as Kondou was happy and relieved for him putting his hand on Sannan-san's shoulder. Hijikata said nothing for he was making a similar face with Sannan-san. But soon, Sannan-san thanked Chizuru and me for helping him and Hijikata told us to rest because it was late in the night.

"Aah, it never failed to surprise me," Chizuru said cheerfully. We're walking to our room.

"…What're you saying? You've only seen it once before," I said calmly. Looking at the sky, the snow stopped falling. It might be sunny tomorrow. That's what I thought while following Chizuru entered our room. We said good night to each other.

"Good night, Sayuri."

My name is Sayuri Hanada, 15 years old. I had sharp brown eyes and a black long hair tied up to the back like Chizuru, because I was disguising as a boy, following Chizuru to search for his father in this town. I came to this world a month ago, accidentally bumped to Chizuru's house. Because she was alone, we became good friends soon. And not long after that, she called me as her sister. Ever since, I swore that I would protect her.
