Thoughts of Rice

Soo sorry I noticed a lot of errors please forgive me, I know I am sometimes forgetful so if something doesn't seem right then tell me of course I don't own this anime and never will but will not change events I will put in my own words how I perceived it and if it is not to your liking I am sorry. Again this anime is not mine.

They had come back and I saw that Chizuru had a bandage on her arm, I didn't think and before I knew it, I was hugging Chizuru and freaking out over the bandage, of course they had already seen my cat ears and weren't as freaked out about it as last time.

FLASHBACK*&^%$#$%^&*

"Calling a girl pathetic is sexist you bastard." I looked over at Okita and Shinpachi to see they had WTF faces on and couldn't help but to laugh.

As we got back to the compound we had a meeting in the meeting room.

"Chizuru, Yuki we need you to be honest what are you two?" I looked over at Chizuru and she looked at me and her eyes widened.

"YUKI,"

"WHAT,"

"YOU HAT IS OFF!"

"AHHHH oh and so I mean come on we were supposed to of told them by now and we forgot to because they kept us locked up it's their fault, Hmph, if they wanted to know what was under my hat they could have asked." I moved to go out and to my room.

"Yuki wait, come back we can talk about it." I kept walking and was glad no one followed.

END OF FLASHBACK*&^%$#$*&^%$#$%^&

I started to purr as she stroked my head and then these urges started to come so I grabbed Chizuru's hand and we went off to my room.

No it wasn't sexual urges; of course it was close to it. I flew into the room and was all over Chizuru who seemed to understand the situation and calmly as always scratched where she thought would be a good place. My mews and purrs could be heard and soon I saw shadows outside the door.

"Hmmm over aww ooh CHIIIIIIZZZY CHAN, more over." I moved so I was rubbing my head to hers.

"AH Yuki I don't think that is where I should scratch you." I giggled and snorted.

"Hehe still shy of scratching me, its okay I get it, just a little over and ooh right go to the right." My leg twitched and my toes curled as she scratched my ears, of course it was then that the door was opened to reveal a decent flustered Chizuru and a very pleased cat girl.

TIME SKIP*&^%$# ! #$%^&*

"Your actions are scandalous we thought you two were doing something bad." I wanted to laugh, but tried really hard not to. I looked over at Okita and saw he held in a snicker and some laughs. The flustered faces of the Shinsengumi were hilarious, I knew none of them were virgins I don't know why they were freaking out I mean come on they are men they're perverts.

"I know she doesn't get like that usually I don't know what came over her." I looked up and stood and went over to the captain.

"Do you want to know how it works?" He stiffened and blushed, he then shook his head viciously, and of course there was other protest so I showed them. I went over to Shinpachi and grabbed his hand.

"It starts in the ears, and then travels down to just below where the ear starts." I moved his hand so that it was caressing my whole ear. He blushed about the contact, but kept the action I showed him. I then moved away and went to Sano.

"Then when that pleasure displeases me, I make Chizuru go to the middle." I grabbed his hand and moved it so it was like a reassuring pat on the head; I moved his fingers so it was deep in my hair. It was then that there was a poof and my tail came out. It swished back and forth and wrapped around Saitou's arm and then tangled in his hair, of course I soon pulled away from him and over Heisuke.

"Then if my tail pops out, I have Chizuru scratch . . . Right . . . Here," It was then that Okita whistled and moved so that he was right behind me, he grabbed me and sat me on his lap back at his spot.

"Ehh Yuki, I don't think that is a good idea, I mean you should get some sleep you had too much fun." With that she lifted me up and we were off to our room. She then presided to scold me on how bad that was and how embarrassed I should be.

CHIZURU'S POV&^%$# #$%^&*

I had forgot that we didn't get to finish her little moment because Kondou came in and was flustered beyond belief, I sighed and made my way back to the meeting room when she went to sleep. I knocked and then entered.

"I am so sorry about that display we didn't know how to handle the urges for her when we were home so we just treated her like a cat during that phase. Please when she wakes up don't remind her, she won't remember and will be flustered."

TIME SKIP YUKI'S POV (*&^ %$# #$%^&*(

I had learned that a man named Itou was coming and was to be some recruitment or something like that.

"Chizuru, Yuki- Chan,"

"We looked over to see Heisuke dressed like he was leaving. I walked over first and poked his cheek.

"H-hey what was that for, it hurts stop, sheesh if I would have known you were going to poke me then I wouldn't have came."

"Where are you going Heisuke, you aren't leaving us are you?" I giggled and he laughed, he then explained that he was going to look for a man that would help us out. Chizuru gave him a letter and asked him to ask around for our father.

He was gone and we wished him a safe trip.

TIME SKIP*&^%$# #$%^&*

I looked at Chizuru who decided that it was a good time to serve tea.

"Hey, Yuki how come you never serve us tea, it is always Chizuru."

"That's because you would die if I made tea." They chuckled and then went back to eating, I looked over and didn't see Sanan san anywhere.

"Oh Sanan san must not want to eat with us, I guess I made too much tea."

"Leave it someone will drink it." I looked over and saw that they had gotten uncomfortable.

"ICK this taste horrible did you make it Souji?"

"Yes and I don't see anything wrong with it, eh where are you going Saitou?"

"To wash the food, too much salt is bad for you." One by one they followed leaving Chizuru and I alone, I giggled and told her to get ready for bed. Of course she went somewhere else.

TIME SKIP (*&^ %$# #$%^&*(

Chizuru and I were in the kitchen preparing rice wine, which sounds gross if you ask me, I moved so that I can get the little vases when I burned myself on the glass.

"Ouch that freaking hurt." I looked at Chizuru who seemed worried and I smiled and grabbed them again, and carefully put them on the serving tray.

"Chizuru, Yuki I have gotten word from Heisuke, he said it doesn't seem like he came anywhere near the place, other than that come and bring the rice wine to the meeting room when you can." With that he was gone and I was irritated.

"I swear that man if I ever see him again he is going to have an ear full."

"Ehh don't do that then we could get in trouble."

"I aint talking about Hijikata Chizz I am talking about your old man."

TIME SKIP&^%$#$%^&*

We entered the room where they were having their little celebration of new members. I made sure none of them hurt or saw through Chizuru's disguise, it was then that I saw a man with black hair half tied looked at her. I glared and grabbed the tray.

"Ahh Chizz I seemed to have some of the others food on the stove it maybe burning can you go get it?"

"Oh you are so careless sometimes yeah just make sure to get all the empty bottles." I quickly got all the bottles and then looked at Hijikata who seemed to get my hint.

"Yuki you did-," before she could finish her sentence I made sure to push her out the door.

TIME SKIP&^%$# $%^&*

Hurry up so we can bathe I stink like rice wine, and it isn't attractive." We were on the last bottle when we heard the man named Itou come out.

"Hey you two,"

"Yeah how can we help you?" I made sure to sound rude and irritated.

He moved closer and I was about to ask Chizuru for her sword when I heard a swish and saw Okita. I was surprised to say the least when he pulled three roses from the bushes.

"AHH I just watered those, Imma kill you." Before I could get anywhere near him Chizuru grabbed the hem of my shirt.

"Okita san that was very violent you shouldn't treat a fragile flower as such."

"Ahh but controlled violence is the art of your teaching is it not?" With that we were ordered to take care of the dirty dishes.

TIME SKIP*&^ %$# #$%^&*(

I yawned and drank some tea with Inoue, I laugh at him and then he thanks us.

"What are you thanking us for?"

"It has been two years and you two are still patient with us, so I thank you."

I moved and went to the room; before I rounded the corner I stopped and looked at Chizuru and the man.

"If anything we should be thanking everyone here for taking care of us." With that I left to do something productive.

TIME SKIP*&^ %$#$%^&*(

I sat on the railing next to Shinpachi and the others all excluding Sanan san and Heisuke. I had my back against a pole and was leaning on it for support, the guys were talking about Sanan san and how cold he is to the other members, and of course it turned to jokes.

"It's not funny, you know, having a disability it sucks, and then having people looking down on you. I bet he is stressed." I sighed and looked at the fiery red sky. I got down from the pole and went in front of where Saitou was training; he swiftly cut down a hay dummy and sheathed his sword.

"Chizuru I am heading in early, if you want to join then come along if not its fine."

"I think I will stay a little longer."

"Suite yourself," With that I moved away and felt their eyes on me.

TIME SKI*&^%$#$%^&*

I heard Chizuru get up and was out the door, I soon followed worried. We had followed Sanan san to an abandoned building where the Shinsengumi never told us about, I watch Chizuru enter and was soon in the building too.

I pulled on Chizuru and she let out a gasp turning around and glared at me. I managed to let her go and entered the room Sanan san went in.

"What are you doing Sanan san, let's go back, I don't like it here." He seemed surprised and looked at Chizuru and me. He then produced a red clear vial out of his sleeves.

"Isn't it beautiful? The Ochimizu it means the blood of life, of course it has its side effects." He seemed to hesitate, but then he turned to us and drank the medicine.

"NO DON'T DO IT!"

"Stupid we're too late, so don't go yelling." His hair turned white and he looked at us his red eyes burning holes through us. I grabbed the sword from Chizuru and moved in front of her.

"Sanan san I won't hesitate to fight you, so hurry and grab a hold of your senses." He moved forward towards me and I held firm, he didn't seemed phased.

"Hehe"

" . . . . Chizuru time to move he went mad." It was then that the door flew open and I looked to see all the captains there.

"Sanan san," Hijikata flew forward and chopped him in the throat and then Saitou and Okita held him back. I still stood guard between Chizuru and Sanan san, I didn't let anyone close to us, it wasn't till Chizuru put her arms around my torso did I give her sword back.

"Stop trying to travel by yourself, baka." With that she passed out.

"Saitou go to the courtyard. Shinpachi make sure no one comes to this room, Yuki take Chizuru back to your room."

"I think I will stay here if that is alright Hijikata." I looked at Souji and then Hijikata and he agreed to it, I picked Chizuru up and went on my way.

TIME SKIP*&^%$#$%^&

Sanan san died and it was announced to the others that it happened of course we all knew he wasn't it was a month later that we moved from our locations to Nishi Honganji temple.

I ran with Chizuru and we met Sanan san under a stairway, I giggle slightly and patted his shoulder.

"San san it is time for food get up lets go eat."

"You seem cheerful today." I smiled at him again and laughed.

Chizuru was staring at him and I had to move my hand in front of her.

"Ne, you aint falling for Sanan san now are you?" She blushed and looked away.

"No I was hoping he was okay."

It was today that Heisuke returned and he looked serious.

"Hey Heisuke what's up you don't seem like yourself." I moved so that I was on the other side of him, of course he just smiled and said that the streets looked different. I saw Souji and waved to him along with Heisuke and Chizuru.

We started to patrol together we got halfway down two roads when Okita had a coughing fit. Chizuru ran to him trying to calm the coughs down, but it seemed it wasn't working, his cough finally subsided and we then heard a commotion beside us.

"Come on just this once; make it worth your wild."

"No, now stop it."

"Ehh but look at how perfect you are."

"Let me go," it was then Okita stepped in, I was behind him and made sure to give him back up if needed.

"Ne how about we take it from here men, that means go away." I laughed at them as they scurried back to the pit they called home. I looked at the girl who had a mix of mine and Chizuru's hair, I felt someone push me over towards the girl and the same with Chizuru.

"Just as I thought I knew you three looked the same. Chizuru you should start dressing as a girl." I moved away from them and then over to the rest of the squad.

"Tsk Chizuru and I will dress how we want." With that I waited with the rest of the men and watched as the woman hit on Okita.

TIME SKIP (*&^ %$# #$%^&

We had been patrolling a lot around the area Chizuru and I have been in charge of telling the men when the next switch would be and telling the third squad to guard the courtyard, we had came to a secluded area when Chizuru almost tripped.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, everyone is working so hard I just want to make sure everyone gets everything done."

"Don't over. . ." I felt this horrible feeling I guessed Chizuru felt it too because we both turned at the same time, I saw three figures two standing on the left and one standing on the right.

"H-how did you people get through here?" I moved for Chizuru's sword which she didn't hesitate to give me.

"Chizuru don't talk to them, move that way now." I slowly moved her around the corner and when we were near them anymore I turned only to see the big man blocking our path. I moved Chizuru away from him and felt her jump I looked back to see that the wall was behind us.

"We don't need your consent to kidnap both of you, you are both oni demon and we want you to come with us." I was ready and was not letting them get Chizuru.

"Eww no who would wanna go with pervy old men that's just gross." They were not happy with my response and moved in quick, I cut one of them on the hand and then without warning had a bullet shoot passed mine and Chizuru's head. I turned and made sure she was alright.

The sword clamored to the floor as the blonde man with red eyes grabbed me; I struggled and felt my tail pop out in frustration.

"AW how cute, she turns into a neko when she gets angry."

"Tsk, Chizuru run get out of here."

"Y-Yuki, I can't I'm too scared, I don't want to be alone." I felt my rage bubble as she started to cry. It was then that I felt something wet glide across my neck, I shivered and tried to pull away.

I was then let go and was caught in someone's arms, I saw Shinpachi and Saitou and then Hijikata coming out the shadows.

"We can take it from here." With that ensued the fighting, Hijikata with Kazama, Saitou with Armigiri and Shinpachi with Kyo. I stayed close to Chizuru and made sure that I had a good grip on the recovered sword.

"You should all stop playing the fake warriors, and just give those girls up." I moved so that I was still protecting Chizuru, but also listening to what the man had to say.

They had been going at it for a while and the other soldiers had heard the commotion, I saw that Yamazaki had a hold of Chizuru, and had his body as her shield. It was then that the three oni retreated with the promises of being back.

We stayed still waiting for another attack, but none came, it was then that Chizuru decided to faint again.

"Yuki this is important do you know why those men are after you two?" I looked up and took Chizuru from Yamazaki.

"Not really they said we were a part of some great thing whatever that is."

TIME SKIP (*&^%$# $%^&*

I made sure Chizuru was tucked in safely and went to go get some fresh air.

This girl is goin to be the death of me. I thought as I looked up at the half moon, I heard coughing and moved to see Okita standing there, I ran towards him in time for him to disappear somewhere. I looked down and saw blood; of course I forgot that he was sick.

TIME SKIP*&^ %$#$%^&*(

"What a sickly sight messing with boy, how dare you."

"What was that woman I swear you got a lot of nerve, how about we show you how to use it?"

"Disgusting, you sick individuals." I saw Saitou sigh and then without a thought Chizuru went and protected the woman.

"You three stop picking on the woman and child you're supposed to protect them not bully." I sighed and went over grabbing the sword from Chizuru in time for them to draw theirs; of course as I was about to attack Saitou cut in and they were on the ground in moments.

"You shouldn't be so reckless."

"I had it under control you didn't need to step in." I looked at the woman giving the child back to the mother.

"Anyways I thank you it was very brave."

"No it was nothing Saitou san was the one that actually saved you."

"Ah so modest, let's be friends since this is fate meeting anyway and you are a girl and all." I smiled and moved to where Saitou was.

"How did you know?"

"Was it supposed to be a secret?"

"Yes, but I guess it is alright, this is Yuki, we don't know her last name so we just call her Yuki, that is Saitou and I am Chizuru Yukimura." I watched the girl as her eyes widened with each introduction, after though she invited us to eat with her, her name is Osen and she was looking for someone of course we had to go and she did too as the day was getting darker.

TIME SKIP&^%$# #$%^&*

It was so warm and loci were so loud I couldn't think properly, Chizuru was washing the vegetables and watching the birds, I sighed and then to ruin it we heard someone whining.

"I can't believe he wanted me to take my clothes off in front of all those men." I looked over to see Itou-san holding himself like he had been a rape victim.

"Itou-san is you alright?"

"No, that Dr. Matsumoto what a pervert he tried to violate me."

"As in Dr. Matsumoto sensei? I wonder if that is the same man, alright I am off." I quickly ran after Chizuru only to hear the man behind us whine about something again.

We had made it to the examination room, I had my head down and was panting heavily, and Chizuru didn't seem fazed by the run and only smiled. I looked up to see all shirtless men.

"EEEEK CHIZURU COVERS YOUR EYES!" The men didn't seem to hear me and Chizuru just smiled at me. I heard Shinpachi throwing a fit so I looked over and saw that soon he and Sano were posing; I couldn't help but to laugh.

TIME SKIP&^%$# #$%^&

Chizuru and I were standing in the back as we watched the men groan about cleaning. I couldn't help it as I was on my back rolling with laughter.

Chizuru had cleaned most of the dishes and I was helping Shinpachi with I don't know what. I saw that she went somewhere but didn't really mind we needed time away from each other.

"Yuki, what, umm how should I word this, man this is a pain."

"Shinpachi what's wrong do you need help with something?" I was so confused of course before he could finished I was called over by Chizuru and we retired we said goodnight to everyone and were soon asleep.

We watch Matsumoto and Okita go behind one of the temple buildings, we soon found that Okita had tuberculosis. I felt this dread come on and wanted to take away his pain.

"You two can come out now." He sat on the beam in the middle, he patted his hands on either side of him, and I sat on the right and Chizuru on the left.

"Okita san I,"

"Don't worry about it,"

"No we have to worry, what if, what if we needed to get you out of here?" I felt that I had to convince him to go somewhere calm and relaxing.

"Don't worry, I will still be a part of the Shinsengumi I wouldn't give that up, if you tell anyone I will kill you."

"You always say that,"

"Hai I guess I do,"

TIME SKIP*&^%$# #$%^&

We had finished most of the chores all that was left was clearing out the pond of leaves. I fed the fish and took the broom away from Chizuru.

"You should chill for a bit, I can clean."

I was so deep in thought that when I heard Kazama's voice I jumped and threw the broom at him; of course he dodged it and smirked.

"What horrible aim and you two are doing chores, how lonely."

"It is none of your business what we do so go away."

"I have a question are you related to that Koudou san man?" I looked at Chizuru and then at the man and protected her from his gaze.

"I don't find how that is you business but if you must know he is our father, well her's not mine." It was then that Heisuke came and shielded us.

"What does a man like you want in enemy territory?" I looked over to see Hijikata.

"It can't only be to kidnap these lovely ladies is it?" I looked over and saw Sano they had spread out and were blocking us in the process.

"Tsk no it wasn't I just came to tell those two that they're father switched sides." With that he was soon gone.

"Don't listen to what he says."

"Yeah it's not important we know what's up."

"We have men looking out for Koudou san so if they find him we will know."

TIME SKIP*&^%$# #$%^

I had left Chizuru to relax and sleep, I knew it had been rough, so I went to take a bath; I waited till everyone was asleep before going.

I had made it past the courtyard and was halfway across when I was stopped by Yamazaki.

"Where are you headed at this time Yuki-Chan?" I looked at him and held my bundle of close closer to me.

"To bath I stink and need a bath."

"Where is Chizuru?"

"I put her to sleep she has been stressed all day." I felt this sudden predator mode creep up from his aura. I backed away, and felt a tree behind me, I moved so that I wasn't as close to the tree, only to have my body pinned and the clothes fall.

"You aren't lying; I should escort you to the bath house." He didn't move and I wondered if he was going to move away from me. He nuzzled his cheek against mine gently and then pulled me to the bath house.

"Be quick," I didn't take long and was soon out, he then led me to Chizuru, and I's room and left. I soon fell asleep without a care in the world.
