Hijikata was standing in the main door of the katsu family. Months has passed since the last time he was there but the place still gave him shivers. The emblish in the main door could only remind him the picture of yuki hanging froom the roof at the arena. This were morbid people and he wished to never see them again that day he rescued Yuki.

I can`t turn around now - he tough ligthtening a cigarrete - even if i dispise this people Yu chan wants me to ask her uncle

We have a visitor - announced a servant - The demo... The vice commander of the Shisengumi, Hijikata Toshiro is here

ok then - said Onibaba trying to act calmly - let him in

ohayo vice commander - greet Onibaba - what do i own this pleasure?

i need to see Katsu sama - replied Hijikata with a solemn voice

i am afraid you can`t - said Onibaba - but you can tell me all about it and i let him know

it`s about Yuki san - replied hijikata - she and ...

did she run away? - asked Onibaba - it`s not our fault if she run away from you. But she always does that. Have you tried calling her around the neighbour with her favorite food or posting sings around with her face so people know she is missing?

those are advice for a missing pet! - yelled Hijikata - why would you look for a person like that?

ok ok take it easy - said onibaba waving her hand - what`s wrong with her?

she wont marry me unless i asked her uncle - replies hijikata with dispair

i see - replied onibaba with surprised - you know you can force her into marrying you. You can gave her a treat if you does good and wet her with a water gun when she is bad

what`s up with you and pet`s advice? - yelled Hijikata - we are fine. Now you see why i need to talk to Katsu sama. She wont marry me if i dont talk to his uncle. I dont know what`s the big deal. she said even chichi from DB got asked and the same happened in shaman king

in shaman king? - said onibaba - i don`t remember that

she said it did but you need to read the manga - replied hijikata

so do i have to read the manga? - asked onibaba

what is going on here? - said a deep man voice from the door fraim

katsu sama - said Hijikata with surprised

what are YOU doing here? - asked katsu - did yuki run away? have you try to call her around the neighbour at least?

yuki is not missing - yelled hijikata - and if she were, why would i look for her like a missing pet? what is wrong with you?

then what you want? - yelled katsu back

i want to marry her - yelled hijikata - so give me your goddamn blessing so she would stop been a brat and marry me for once

katsu was in shock. For the first time in the years he had arrange the furawa ketto this was the first time someone have came to claim a proper marriage. now i wont be able to get rid of that brat - tought katsu

what`s your answer? - asked hijikata

you have my blessing - said katsu clearing his troath - and as this is a proper marriage you have the right to Yuki san`s earings, a full dowry and her household. You can take the Katsu name if it`s please you. I am sure it would help your career

the last part was a hit in hijikata`s pride but he swallowed his anger

plan the wedding - added katsu - as is the tradition we will pay most of the arrangements. Now leave, i don`t want to see until the wedding

katsu left the room in silence and hijikata was standing to leave as well

oi hijikata sama - called onibaba - you have just made an old woman the most happy. i will send the official mail

hijikata nodded as a good bye and left the katsu`s palace, hoping it was the last time he had to go there
