Disclaimer: I do not own Hakuoki, just a single copy I love to just listen to. Isn't it awesome they kept the Japanese vocals?

Doppelganger - August 14, 2012

It was strange, looking into a mirror that didn't smile back. No that was wrong, it was stranger when she did smile back and it looked wrong. That was what bothered her when she first met Kaoru, Chizuru figured. She smiled, but it wasn't the same smile.

Chizuru had long since gotten used to boys clothes, but had sometimes wondered what it would be like if she returned to life as a girl. Now she knew; she would look like Kaoru, pretty and flirty and never worrying if everyone would come back from patrol injured.

Okita had said they looked so much alike, but Chizuru was more concerned by the other ways they were alike and the ways they were different. Working with criminals - had it been Kaoru on that bridge after all, Chizuru wondered - being enemies. Kaoru had never hurt her before, but she couldn't figure out her convictions either. Okita had told her she could have been walking into a trap just that morning. Was it possible they were on opposite sides?

Chizuru rubbed her head as she flopped to the floor. She needed to get some rest to figure this all out. Perhaps in the morning-

*Crash* Drops of my own blood fell to the floor.

Hakuoki:Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, set the night a fury (and later Sanan and most of the captains) break into her room, thus the ending.

BTW, Chizuru is the default name of the MC for those who've never played/set their own name.
