Welcome back everyone, yes I am stretching my imagination to great lengths for this fan fiction. Remember, this is only written for the sake of craziness! I'm even questioning my own sanity!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY HAKUOUKI CHARACTERS NOR JUNEBUG.

*DONNN*

Everyone's head was stuck close as they gawked at the creature standing in front of them. Chizuru's fingers itched to pet the miniature horse, so cute! Junebug was the name; she was munching on the flowers now.

"Oi, Harada... what Demon do you think this horse is from?" Nagakura whispered.

"Hmm.. Horse Demon."

"I'm not a horse but a pony," Junebug smiled.

They inhaled sharply.

"C-can.. I touch you?" Chizuru lost the battle.

"Sure you can!"

Chizuru beamed at the rest before stepping forward, Heisuke gripped
her wide sleeve.

"Chizuru, stay here."

"Don't worry Heisuke, she looks harmless."

Cautiously Chizuru stretched her hand and caresses her soft brown hair.

"Why are you here?" Chizuru asked softly.

"I have no idea.. Chizuru san. But these kind gentlemen brought me here."

Hajime flushed at the compliment while Souji stood behind Hijikata the latter not knowing that his other captain had inserted one of the fallen flower from Junebug's basket on his ponytail.

"Now what, vice commander?" Sannan adjusted his round spectacle.

"Huh? Uhh," Hijikata cleared his throat before continuing. "Well.. Junebug. How uh.. do you plan to go home?"

Junebug felt a pang of forlorn, that was a very good question. How?

Chizuru offered her room for the pony to sleep in while they sought an answer for to return.

Heisuke was still wary of the brown pony even after it left with a excited Chizuru. Those bug eyes scared him, now he sat around the table with his drinking partners.

The next morning, Junebug was busy plucking flowers while singing a song.
Of a sudden she was snatched away and she kicked her hoofs to escape.

"Help Hajime san! Heeeeelp!"

Hajime rushes from his training and skids to a stop. Hime san, Chizuru's friend was holding onto the little pony.

"HAJIME SAN!"

Chizuru came running to stop her friend.

"Hime san! Let Junebug go!"

"Junebug?" Hime san was cooing over the pony.

When she put Junebug down, the pony turned around with a smile.

"Hello! My name is Junebug and what is yours?"

Chizuru and Hime san both clasped their hands against their bosom and sighed.
"Wah! You are so cute!"

Junebug blushed and kicked a pebble with her hoof, giggling.

"May I know why you have baskets of flowers?" Hime san pointed.

"Because I'm poor and flowers are all that I can eat."

Both Chizuru and Hime san exchanged glances and nodded with determination before looking down.

"You don't have to eat flowers here, I will cook something for you."
Junebug felt her vision turned blurry with tears.

"This is delicious!" Junebug was munching her meal, she sat between two burly men.

Nagakura watched the odd creature from his side vision as he chewed slowly.

"So... Junebug? What do you for pass time?" He asked.

"Me? Well, apart from visiting my other pony friends, I go collect more flowers to eat."

At the memory she had a whimsical smile.

Harada had his one hand on his thigh while he ate with his other hand.

Hajime was passing by when Junebug scurried to meet her best friend.

"Hello! Where are you going off to?"

"I'm off to my patrol." Hajime step aside but Junebug blocked his way.

"Can I follow you?"

"No."

"Please...?"

Hajime frowned but of a sudden an image of Chizuru with wide eyes flitted in his mind, he blushed slightly.

"We will ask vice commander's permission."

"YEAH!"

Junebug's request to follow her best friend was denied. To her this was a new adventure something she would relate to her friends back home.

"But..." Junebug tries again.

"I'm sorry but the answer is no, Junebug. You will garner more attention than necessary."

Kondou tried to soften up the reject by explaining the situation.

"The locals are not fond of us.."

"How so?"

Hijikata and Kondou exchanged glances before briefly explaining.

Junebug was horrified by the story but felt anger rose up within her. And so, she stood at the gate watching the men off to their duty.

I tried my best! Please do not judge me! I'm not on drugs too, LOL.
