23rd of Dec.
Saito read over the lines that his daughter had been successfully submitted and admitted to the top Girl school in Japan, presently at least. With all the blood and Bakumastu's devastation, the few girl institutions had been shut down. Japan was hard around this time-frame. Not many girls got education, in fact it was very much considered a crime to have education once you were a girl. The constitution, well what little of it was left, believed that it was considerably a man's world, so he should by all means, be given education, financing and hence the jobs. Most institutions were masculine-held and capacitated for. Considering women and girls were suppose to be kept at home to feed children, Japan consolidated the oppression around the females, having few ever foot inside a classroom. Very few held swords or ever spoke a wrong word to a male, but this was life, especially for the Bakumastu's people. Women and girls were stripped alive from their vulnerabilities to the insanities of men, and so, Saito didn't want to see his daughter being abuse to this nation's craziness…
Saito took to his heels when he received the letter early that morning. Kaoru must have been sleeping. Okita and Kaoru went to sleep late the night before, mainly because of some candy issue which she was caught red-handed in. They played-fight for what seem to be two hours until both fell asleep in Okita's room. Though Saito was somewhat strict with whom Kaoru slept with, or whom Okita slept with, he had to come to knowledgeable terms, both were best friends and nothing out of the ordinary was expected to happen.
Opening Okita's shoji, he saw the poor sleeping boy shivering on the floor, whilst on the other hand, a happily smiling female cuddled up in his warm sheets. She kicked a foot into his face, perhaps accidentally, yet with all the evilness across her face, he wondered if she was doing it for spite…
"Kaoru! Okita! Get up!!" he shouted. Okita who never over-slept shot up with red eyes and a sniffing nose. His half open eyes looked up at Saito in a defeated manner. Saito sighed. Peering at his daughter who had still been sleeping, he poked her but she didn't respond…
"Kaoru" he poked her
--She snores happily--
"Kaoru" he poked her yet another time
--She starts getting mad , "stop it Okita"--
"Kaoru" Saito poked his daughter again…
--She growls..--
"Kaoru" he poked her harder…
"I SAID STOP IT YOU PUNK" she pushed her father back. Her eyes were closed still, and with that she went back to sleep.
"KAORU HIJAME—GET UP" Saito shouted…
Kaoru's eyes immediately flew open, 'oh Kami—I hit my father…oh kami-sama…this can't be happening'
Kaoru perked up and looked up at her father innocently, "father, what are you doing there? Are you trying to be a puppy?" she laughed to herself, trying desperately to get herself out of this one…
"Ruff" was his only angry reply…
"Hhahaha!" she laughed, "it's like this daddy, ruff ruff…" she barked like a puppy…
"Joy…Kaoru, get up, we have some business to discuss"
"Okie dokie pokie cokie" she smiled…
He got up and began walking out, "then what are you waiting for?" he asked
"You're blocking the entrance dad, duhhhhhhhh" she stuck out her tongue…
He growled and walked out. Kaoru got up and with that she made her way to the bathroom. She saw Okita had been warming up his water, so what she did was…she bit her lips and began tip-toeing to his bath. Shutting the door loudly, she began laughing evilly.
"OH KAORU! GIMME BACK MY BATH…"
"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME MAN…SO BLAH!"
"KAORU—OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW OR I'M GONNA BREAK IT DOWN" he shouted
"Suck my fart" she made a fart sound with her mouth and with that she began laughing…
"Ewww" he whispered and with that he backed up from the door…
As usual it was the normal routine for her to be the first in the tub, but the longest in. It was already nine, late nine and she was still in the bathroom singing…
"I LOVE CANDYY---OH I LOVE CANDYYY—Sing it with me!!" she began snapping her fingers to drown out the Shinsen men groans. They had been waiting there so long and all she would do was sing and laugh. Sad really…
It was Okita in fact who came up with a clever little idea to get her out…
"Oh Kaoru baby, show me some legs" Okita howled making the Shinsen men whistle sensually.
"HENTAIS" she screamed. Not knowing they couldn't see anything…
Getting up, she placed on her kimono and ran out the door. "I'm going to tell my daddy on all of you, especially you Okita…I can't believe you all. Have you all, nothing to say about yourselves?" she asked angrily…
"You got hott legs girl" they grinned…
"Aggghhh"

"And that's the whole story dad…they watched me" she sniffed pretentiously in his face…
"And do you think I should punish them?" he asked knowing her reaction fully well
"Think? Oh I don't think you should think, I think you should know how to whoop their butts…" she spoke flatly…
"Hmm…well I will see what I can do. This came for you in the mail today…" he handed her the letter
She collected the envelope noting it was opened, "it's open, what sorta of privacy is that father?" she asked
"I have to do everything in my will to protect you kid, and if it means reading some juicy letters, then yes I'll read em…"
"Dad" she protested…
"Oh come now Kaoru, I wouldn't read the juicy stuff,----only unless if it's real juicy…" he hinted his brows…she growled…
She opened the letter and began reading, "Blah blah blah---blah-blah-blah, I'VE BEEN ACCEPTEDD!! WOHOO" she screamed out…
Letting the letter down, she spoke slowly, "what's this about?" she asked…
Saito face-faulted. "Well it's a school" he started
"Well duh, I figured that part already"
"And it's for girls."
"Wow, you can be so explanatory" Kaoru said grimly.
"Well Kaoru it's like this, I've realized since you have more time in Japan, you've become very idlesom" he paused seeing how she fumed. "so I decided to sign you up for a Girl institution where you'll learn about life, and commerce and martial arts" Kaoru puffed her cheeks cutely.
"But I'll be bored and I don't like boring places…trust your father to chose the most boring places to study" she sighed tiredly…
"Excuse me??" Saito blinked-back
"I didn't say anything, it must have been Okita" Kaoru blamed yet another time.
"You see Kaoru, there you go again…do you see why I want you in a school?"
"Um…no??"
"That's it---you're going to go weather you like it or not" Saito said firmly and aggressively.
"Okay okay, I'm sorry---I didn't mean to daddy. It's just…I really wanted to be with the Shinsen, see their lifestyles. Apparently I won't be getting to see much of that now will I? I better be packing, since I'll be going to the far beyond, please don't cry whilst I am there, remember I will always be in your heart" she over dramatized everything to the highest content.
"Lord Kaoru, I'm sending you to a learning institution not your early death" Saito addressed.
"Well it is death…to me at least" she sobbed, "oh please father…please don't let me go, I promise I'll be good, well I'll try at least, but I promise---I promise to try and be good, I swear I wouldn't steal candy, and stay in the bathroom for three-four hours, I swear I wouldn't put red-flowers to dye the Shinsen's clothing. I swear I wouldn't be bad---so please---please let me stay…please?" she looked up at him…
"No…" he said curtly. He stood to his hells and began walking out, Kaoru lunged forward on his feet, grabbing onto his legs, "oh please daddy---I'm begging you…please…sheesh don't you have a heart? Can't you see your only child is begging, are you listening to me, hello—are you alive?" Kaoru asked angrily…
"No…"
"Oh come on daddy…for you little angel—for your cutest angel in the whole wide world. For you bunny-angel-cutey-baby?" she begged and pouted.
"Erhhh…" he was starting to think, that was a sign, "No…" he finished… that was sign of no.
Kaoru let go of him, "then fine…if I kill somebody then don't blame me…" she went to her room quarreling her head off. Later on that day, Kaoru left the Shinsen compound to go buy some candy. She didn't understand it, but as soon as she came to Japan she became some wild lunatic who craves hot boys and delicious candy. She didn't understand herself. 'But then, mother isn't here, so I could do what I want, when I want it and how I want it…mwhahah!!' she laughed to herself for no absolute reason.
Kaoru counted the money she had gambled for with the Shinsen boys that morning, though she couldn't say she applied honesty by crying and pouting cutely, she had to admit she got the money regardless. She had enough to buy some tasty-funky candy, and then there was a remainder to just shop till she dropped. Kaoru watched as two little boys about six in age fought over a ball, "wow and I thought this country would be a leading democratic nation some day, wow, I expected too much." As Kaoru kept her stare fixated on the two small boys, she hadn't seen the person who was standing in front of her. And then to Kaoru's unknowing she slammed into the person. Kaoru immediately fell to the floor, "oh my aching head, whose the" Kaoru raised her head to see no other than a young man of her age with enlightening green eyes. White accented locks and a single watou at his side. He wore a black gi and hakama which burned his every feature alive.
'And hellooo good-looking'
The young man, let his hand out to help her up, Kaoru humbly took the gentleman's hand, not letting it go when she was up. He tried to let go, but she still wore a stupid grin holding his hand tightly.
"You can let go" his voice was as cold as a blizzard in the night. Her skin shivered from just the mere sentence he uttered. She nodded releasing his hand sadly.
"I'm very sorry for---clashing into you" Kaoru started humbly, 'yeah right, I actually planned it on purpose! Oh I'm so good!!'
He nodded his head leaving her to be. Kaoru's heart started to do flip-flops, 'oh man, why can't I just marry a man like you and call that life…?' she sighed stressfully to herself. 'Get a life Kaoru.'
That whole afternoon Kaoru had been in a grouchy mood, she wasn't glad that she was leaving her father or the Shinsen for that matter. The little time she had stayed with them, she had called it momentous and she treasured it. Yet, there was no way she could prove to her father that her intentions to stay were strong and not as mocked as she made it seem. Kaoru sighed biting down on another chocolate yet another time. It was getting late and yet she was still going in circles, seeing things she had seen before and was quite fedup of it. Sighing a last time, she got to her heels returning to her home, the Shinsen.
She chose to walk slow, unable to tell the world what she wanted, 'that I want to stay with my father back at the Shinsen.' She watched as the foliage fell and the trees shivered in the late afternoon's wind. Sakuras fell in small semi-circular patterns, just barely brushing Kaoru's face. The world felt a little colder to Kaoru, she frowned at the thought. Walking home to a home that didn't want her seem sad, but she deciphered, there was nothing she could do now, weather by who's will, there was no more of her to burden them.
She arrived in a solemn state, her sapphire eyes quite dull in hue whilst her entire aura, it was just so woeful and benign. Saito saw as his daughter walked pass him heading straight for her room, he heard noises that sounding like crying. Opening her shoji just a bit he could see she was already beginning to pack.
"When do I leave father?" she asked seriously…
He was shocked she had discovered him, but then she came from the wolf so he should have suspected this, "you leave tomorrow" he said silently.
She nodded, proceeding with her packing, everything she unpacked was packed once again for it's departure. Saito closed her shoji knowing she would want the time to be. He didn't like how his daughter's heart hurt so soundly, yet he acknowledged, he wasn't doing anything bad, all he was doing was giving her a reason not to be so idlesom. Though as much as he wanted to ignore her feelings and strange silence, there was something he himself felt, it was queer to explain and he so---all he could do was let things reside, even as so unclean as founded.
That night Kaoru and Okita ate in silence, there worlds becoming parallel. Her whimsical aesthetic creation had slowly died before them. She composed herself as if she was in England, and she hated it, all through. Excusing herself from the table, she went straight to bed, trying to sleep on her troubles. They still knocked on her head, but she still tried nevertheless.
"Kaoru-chan…" called a soft voice.
"Hai…" she answered softly.
"Can—we please speak?" he asked awkwardly.
He heard her sigh, then footsteps that came to the door, "hai Okita-san…" she came out her room to speak to him. He was somewhat startled she didn't attack him and that she had called him with an honorific.
"What has happened, why are you so sad?" he asked anew.
"I am not sad Okita. I am just tired" her answer was simple.
"That's a lie, the Kaoru I knew is much more vibrant than this. What has happened to you…?" he asked holding her hand in an affectionate gesture that she could tell him.
"Okita" she whispered sadly, "I leave the Shinsen tomorrow" she was trying to be so strong, "I am leaving you all for a while" she whispered fiercely turning her back to him.
"Why?" was his only question.
"Because my father thinks me very idle. So I guess this is my leave out." She whispered.
"When will I see you again?" he asked thorn…
"I don't know O-Okita. I can't answer that ques-tion" a tear fell from her chin. Okita turned her to him, just embracing her for being so honest with him. She cried, 'I don't want to go' she wrapped her arms around his neck, 'oh Okita…'
'Shh Kaoru…shh'

Crowded streets adorn the early morning, and one by one they saw the sight of the man dead on the floor. Playing in the boundaries of the innocents of Japan, was Hitokiri Battousai. Young immortal boy named from his comrades, gained a fame as lethal as that as most excellent swordsman. Enthralled by the blade that became the instrument that gained him his respect, Battousai walked with nothing but shadows and giggling faces that haunted him to his death. Already he was only sixteen gaining a title as most powerful but though his heart worked for the blood, his will was subdued. Quelled by being called murderer, he understood he was psychologically affected. Yet he walked the frames of life, cutting down those who needed to be terminated with.
In his black gi and hakama, his upright form, caught the mornings early sunlight. His tired eyes kept alert watching for any Shinsen that swept by. He stood in the shadows of an alley looking for the Wolf group. He hissed when he saw Izuika, couldn't that man leave him alone? Battousai mentally shook his head. Leaning back onto the wall, he saw the sight of a beautiful woman in a white kimono, purple obi and a blue sash waiting by the side of the road. Her hair blew in the wind sending her beautiful locks flying. Battousai gasped a bit at her revert yet her potent beauty. He leered his eyes off her being more alert of where the Shinsen could be.
Then in the distance he could see another pretty little female. She didn't wear a kimono but more preferably, an English gown. A huge hat was placed on her head as she walked with a luggage to what seem to be the train station.
"This bloody luggage, I'm perhaps looking like a complete idiot trudging this huge load" Kaoru sighed to herself, I mean the least the Shinsen could do was carry her luggage, but no, they weren't even man enough for that. So now she's playing SHE-HULK and carrying the load.
Battousai was fascinated by the little female as she carried her own luggage, a smirk formed on his cold features. Though he didn't see her face he had to admit he admired her strength. She too went her own way as him. Battousai returned after hours of scouting to have some lunch and that's about all he wanted right now.

Kaoru handed the train assistant her ticket whilst she entered the train. She was so into bowing her head that she hadn't read the sign saying 'Boy's'. Opening the door, she looked up at the many rows of boys who all sat quietly. A small blush of embarrassment danced across her face as she watched the boys. She began exiting the compartment knowing she was definitely in the wrong area. Opening the section which read girls, she entered. Kaoru sighed when she saw the different rows of girls. Each row was filled. And the girls, they all seem to have some attitude problem inscribed on their faces.
A girl called out to her and Kaoru smiled a bit. She went to the girl sitting comfortably next to the new girl, "hi I'm Lei-fang…who're you?" she asked
"I'm Kaoru…" Kaoru smiled…
"It's a pleasure…pleasure to meet you…"
Kaoru could see that this was going to be the beginning of a beautiful journey…
