-THE ARRIVAL-

The Shinsengumi

A special police force organized by the Bakufu, a military government, during Japan's Bakumatsu period during the 1864. It was active until the year 1869. It was founded to protect the Shogunate representatives in Kyoto at a time when a controversial imperial edict to exclude foreign trade from Japan had been made and the Choshu clan had been forced from the imperial court.

The men were drawn from the sword schools of Edo. Although the Shinsengumi are lauded as brave and determined heroes in popular culture, they have been described by historians as a 'ruthless murder squad'

The Shinsengumi submitted a letter to the Aizu clan, another powerful group who supported the Tokugawa regime, requesting their permission to police Kyoto. The request was granted.

And that's where everything begins

"So this is Kyoto" the boy that looks no older then 15 leaning against a tree in a forest and there, was a view that overlooks the city of Kyoto. "I wonder if my parents are here" he wondered aloud as he stood up. "Come on Rei. LET'S Kill or Something!" "I rather we stay in the shadows. This isn't our Time after all" Rei replied as he turned around. Smiling at the view he slowly walked downwards and slowly making his way into Kyoto.

The place was filled with people busy with their own lives. The Streets were filled with noises, children playing catch, dogs and cats making their way through the crowds, people buying items from the vendors.

"Isn't this peaceful" Rei uttered. It wasn't a scene he could see before he came into this time. "Haku, doesn't this peak your curiosity?" "Maybe, But...WHY AREN'T THERE ANY MADNESS!? Where Are Those Crazy White Haired Demons?!" Haku yelled in his mind. "I believe it's because the Ochimizu isn't that well known yet" Rei muttered. Taking his first step into the city.

Such carefree nature of this city, it leaves Rei to wonder if any crimes were even happening in this place.

"Rei, get to the Shinsengumi HQ. We need information on them fast" "Oh? Why the sudden useful advice?" Rei thought "Well my dear Bastard, I WANNA KNOW WHO'S THE STRONGEST!" Haku yelled loudly that it made Rei flinched. "Alright Alright. I'm going"

The headquarters of Shinsengumi wasn't exactly what Rei had in mind. It was a like a normal house but bigger and better. If I remembered correctly, there's one unit that finds information and acts almost like Ninjas...what's the name again? Rei thought as he entered the HQ with silence steps. No one noticed the boy walking through the front gates at all in broad daylight.

Rei wonders around until he came into a yard where he saw three people sparring against each other. Rei hid himself behind a pillar with the shadow as his companion.

"Haha! Shinpachi-San, you lost so just admit it!"

"I'm Hungry! Don't blame me for it!"

"That's your usual excuse Shin. You really need a new one"

"Haha, Mah it's a good fight"

"I'm hungry you guys! Let's go out and buy eat!"

"You want to see those Ladies don't cha?"

"That's not it Heisuke! Like said I'm Hungry!"

"I'm going to! I'm out of sake since Hijikata-San found where I hid them"

Rei stared at the three idiots, it seems that their the the Captains of Shinsengumi given their carefree attitudes. "Those Three can't be the strongest. Their just LazyAss warriors and a Kid" "But Captain's nonetheless" Rei left in search for the rest of the Captains. He later found a Girl dressed up as a boy struggling from holding 3 baskets of loaded clothing.

Should I help? Rei thought and decided Why not? I'm stuck here anyways. Rei approach the 'boy' with a gentle smile. "Hello there, need any help?" Rei asked but the 'boy' declined saying that it's alright. But Rei didn't buy that excuse, instead, Rei carried some baskets himself despite the disapproving looks the 'boy' was giving. Rei hold onto two while the 'boy' carried one.

"Ano...Thank you" the 'boy' said shyly

"No problem..erm.." "Chizuru! My name is Yukimura Chizuru" Chizuru said as her eyes met Rei's. There was a second before Chizuru looked away blushing. For Rei is was a different story,Yukimura..is she...Whatever, It doesn't concerns me Rei thought as he smiled at Chizuru.

"Then it's no problem Chizuru-Chan" Rei said as he followed Chizuru until they reach a small garden where Chizuru is to hang the clothings out to dry. Rei silently placed the baskets on the floor and left before Chizuru turned around to say thanks.

"Eh? Where did he go..." Chizuru muttered. Looking around the garden there wasn't anyone around. "What are you doing Chizuru-Chan?" A voice asked as two figures approached her. "Okita-San, Saito-San" Chizuru greeted as Souji eyed the three baskets filled with laundry. "Did you carry this by yourself?" Saito asked, he was thinking the same as Souji was.

"I didn't, someone helped me but..." Chizuru said as her eyes wondered around for the boy that helped her. "But?" Souji repeated "He was here a moment ago...I didn't get to thanked him.." She said upset by the fact that the boy disappeared on her. "Who did he looked like?" Souji asked

"He has short brownish hair, wearing something like a red kimono that looks kind of like how Okita-San is dressed in, And a weird pants with weird metal accessories things" Chizuru said with little hesitant since she didn't want to mess things up by giving a wrong information. After a moment of thinking, Saito and Souji nodded at each other before telling Chizuru that "Don't worry about anything Chizuru-Chan. We'll be going ahead first ok?. Ja Ne!" Souji said as the two men left.

"Seems like someone has been busy around our grounds" Souji said with a grin "It's best that we informed the Commander and Vice commander about this" Saito said as they went their way back to the common room.

"LOL First Day and Your Caught! What have you been doing!? Eating Meat!? Your slower then usual!" Haku mocked as Rei ignored his loud voice "It can't be helped. Sooner or later I'm bound to make contact with them" Rei thought. Leaning by the wall watching the two men, Saito and Souji, as they walked towards the common room. "Seriously? This place has a security worst then a damn convenience store!" Haku laughed again at his own jokes. "Don't blame them Haku, this is Edo. Nothing here is convenient"

Soon the girl caught his eyes, why is there a girls in a place full of Men? The Shinsengumi no less.

"Rei, that Girl is no ordinary~ Hehe, This is getting more interesting" Haku said as Rei gotten more worried. That Girl...not normal...I guess she is a Oni

No wonder Haku is getting excited Rei thought with a smile on his face. "A Female demon on Human grounds in this time and age. How rare" Rei uttered.

Where's my parents?

Oh yeah...they died

-In the common room-

"Nani? A intruder met Yukimaru?" Hijikata said. He hated more work and his two men just gave him a load stack of it. "Get everyone here. I don't want to repeat myself" Hijikata said as Saito nodded while Souji seems to be in a daze. In which Hijikata went mad. "SOUJI! Are you even listening?!" Hijikata yelled "Eh?...Oh. Hai~ you shouldn't disturb someone's daze like that Hijikata-San" Souji said as he went out the door.
