Thank you Shadowpuppy for reviewing. And another thank you to the readers who put this story in their favourites. But I still want to know what you think, so...

Please read and review.

Enjoy.

When no one said anything Chizuru said in a desperate voice. "Please help me find my brother. I can smell blood everywhere. When we have found Kaoru you can take me in to custody. Please he is all I have left." Chizuru caught the leader's eyes and pleaded with him silently.

Isami stared at the girl for a minute and then said, "When we find your brother will you come quietly."

"No, just me." Chizuru argued. "Listen girl, you are in no position to argue." Hijikata growled taking a step towards her. Chizuru turned to face him and stared in to his eyes and her eyes changed colour from brown to white. "I could have your own swords stabbing you right now if I wanted to. But no I came to you because I thought you were kind. You treated me with respect. No one else besides Kaoru my brother has, not even a single person from my people treated me with respect.

"I'm the only female here who has magic and can shift. Come to think about it I'm the only person who can do both. Anyway strange people have tried to kidnap me and make me breed more powerful humans. I have been running from them for about three days. Listen, help me find Kaoru and I promise I will not try anything against you. Once I know that my brother is safe and sound I will give myself up. No hassle, no nothing."

Hijikata was freaked out by the sudden colour change in her eyes. He turned to Isami, waiting for his next command. Isami stared at the girl for a moment and then said, "Look around, we can start here. Hijikata, she is your responsibility. Don't let her out of your sight." Hijikata nodded and followed the girl outside.

"What is your name?" He asked her when he had her in his sights again. "Chizuru Yukimura." The girl replied and with that she changed in to a much bigger cat. A black Jaguar. Hijikata and Chizuru stared at each other for a moment and then Chizuru broke the eye contact and went to sniff the air. She did this by opening her mouth, showing the man watching her, a good view of her teeth.

When she didn't get anything she went around to the side of her house and did the same thing. Hijikata wondered what she was doing. "She is grimacing, cats have these senses in their mouth to help them sense what is happening around them or what has been happening around them. A cat's hearing and smell is twice as better as a dog's. And sometimes when they grimace it's because they don't a certain smell." Heisuke explained when he saw what she was doing and the look on Hijikata's face. That would explain why she chose a cat form. Hijikata thought to himself.

When Chizuru didn't get anything from outside she went in inside and upstairs in to her room and roared out her frustration. To Hijikata and the others it was the most frightening thing they have ever heard.

"Okay everyone, before we finish, I want half of you took look around the town. Be back for dinner. Remember he looks like Chizuru." Isami ordered and half of the men ran back to the town.

"Hijikata, take Chizuru back to HQ." Chizuru wanted to keep looking for her brother but she was too tired to argue so she shifted back in to her human form and followed Hijikata.

When they got back to the base food was ready for them. She didn't realise that she was hungry until she smelt the food. "Are you hungry?" Hijikata asked Chizuru nodded her head. "Eat. Eat before the others come back and eat it all." Hijikata suggested and she did.

When the others did come back they debated on what to do to Chizuru when they found Kaoru. They got nowhere. "We'll talk about this in the morning. Shinpachi you will take first shift." Isami said and with that he got up and went in to his room.

Chizuru wanted to escape and search for Kaoru but she knew that she will be guarded twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. She couldn't thinking that Kaoru might be laying in a ditch or gutter somewhere, bleeding to death. Or someone has him and they are torturing him, and Kaoru is begging for help. Chizuru burst out crying. She cried so hard and loud. Hours later she cried herself to sleep.

Shinpachi wanted to go in there and comfort her and hold her. He can't because she is a prisoner. When she finally went quiet he peaked in to see that she had fallen asleep. He sighed in relief. Sometime later Shouji took over.

Shinpachi went to Hijikata's door and knocked. "Come in" came a reply. Shinpachi entered and went straight to the point. "She suddenly burst our crying. She cried for hours. It must be because of her missing twin."

"Hmm..." Hijikata thought for a minute and then came up with an idea. "One of you, take her and help her search for him, starting tomorrow." He said. Shinpachi nodded and went to bed.

The next day she felt someone poking her. "Go away." She growled. "Wake up. Don't you want to find your brother?" Came a familiar voice. Chizuru opened her eyes to reveal Okita. Chizuru sprung out of bed and got changed.

Once breakfast was eaten, Chizuru went with this man called Saitou Hijime and Shinpachi. While they asked around town people kept on giving her strange looks and after an hour she had enough. She went in to an alley and came back out as a German Shepherd and Hijikata was walking next to her. Chizuru didn't look to happy. She had a collar and a lead on and Hijikata was holding it. "She is attracting too many people's attention, from now on she is a police dog when she is out in public. Saitou, I'll take over from here for you. I have another job for you. An elderly woman has been beaten, here is the address and other details." Saitou took the information and left without a single argument. "Come on, a body has been found." Hijikata said to Shinpachi.

When they got to the body, Chizuru recognised who it was immdently. It was her father's best friend. He was also a doctor, like her father. His name was Kenji Tsuki. Chizuru liked him. He was friendly and loved to crack jokes. Chizuru whimpered and nudged his face, wanting to make sure he was actually dead. When he didn't move she nudged him again this time a bit harder. Hijikata pulled her back and said. "He's dead." Chizuru ignored the tug and barked, Wake up, doc. This is not funny. A few minutes later a chuckle came from the body making the medical examiner jump. "Shit, he's alive." He said.

Kenji stared at Chizuru and smiled. "Hello little one" and opened his arms. Chizuru hesitated for a moment with her ears back then it was too hard to resist she jumped in to the open arms. She licked his face over and over again. When she pulled away she, growled at him. Don't do that again. "I'm sorry little one. It is my only defence, playing dead. You know that." The doctor replied.

"You can understand her?" Hijikata said. "Yeah, I can understand animals. I could do that since I was accidently bitten by this little one when she and her brother were young. I was playing with-" There is no time for this. Kaoru is missing. He could be injured. Chizuru interrupted. "What do you mean missing?" Kenji frowned at Chizuru. Missing, as in I can't find him anywhere. Down stairs has been turned upside down and there is blood everywhere. Kaoru's blood. Chizuru whimpered.

"We'll find him." Kenji stood up. "What are you doing with the police?" He asked her. I went to them for help... Chizuru couldn't finish that sentence.

"We are helping her search for her brother, in return she is in our custody." Hijikata said, tugging on the lead again, this time she didn't fight it, she sat down next to him. Kenji shook his head at her, "Chizuru." He whispered. They wouldn't help me otherwise, and I didn't have anyone else to help me. Chizuru told him.

Kenji sighed and looked up at Hijikata. "I will give your men free checkups if you work faster in finding my godson." Kenji Tsuki is Chizuru and Kaoru's godfather. "I'm their godfather." He explained when he saw a look on Shinpachi's face.

They searched everywhere but there has been no sign of Kaoru. Hijikata decided it to call it a night. When they got back to the base Kenji told Isami to gather his men for a check up. The men showed off their muscles and Chizuru couldn't help but giggle.

The next day Kenji and Chizuru went in to the dining room and everyone was there except Hijikata. "Hijikata-san is following up a lead on your brother. You can catch him if you run." Isami said to Chizuru who changed in to a Cheetah and ran for the hills.

His scent led her all the way to bear country. She found him leaning up against a tree, bleeding. His weapon was too and there was a bear standing on it back legs bearing its teeth. Chizuru changed in to grizzly and charged. She head butted the normal bear in the side, knocking him down. He quickly recovered and stood up and sounded out temper. Chizuru took a swipe at his face and ran off.

Hijikata knew that the second bear was Chizuru. What he didn't know is why she saved him by distracting the other bear.

Maybe these magical people aren't as bad as people say... Hijikata stood up, picked up his gun and went in to the direction of Chizuru and the bear.

Oh my, oh my.

What will happen next? You'll just have to wait and find out.

There are bears in Japan. We call them Grizzlies.
