Hishashi and his family let me stay at their place.
They fed me, gave me new clothes to wear, allowed me to sleep in for as long as I'd like.
They didnt have any women in their family, so they were kind of confused on how to treat me.
But I didnt mind.
I could probably stay here until the year was over.
Then I could go look for my body myself.
Easy peasy haha
Plus, I felt like I was being treated like a queen.
Anything I wanted, the men would go fetch for it.
I even began to call them my royal guards.
I guess dreams do come true huh?
"Coco!" A voice whispered harshly into my ear.
"Yes?" I sighed and opened my eyes to see that It was Hishashi.
"There are some men outside, who want to see you"
"Cant you see Im busy napping?"
"But they said that It was urgent..."
"Fine!" I groaned, "Help me up"
Hisashi took hold of my arms and pulled me up.
"Thanks Guard, you are dismissed"
"Huh?"
I walked out of my room, and into the lobby.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"
Oh.
My.
God.
'Okita! What the hell are you doing here?!"
And It wasnt only Okita, the rest of the Shinsengumi were present as well.
All except for Kondou, and Sannan.
Okita snickered, "She seems perfectly fine to me"
Aww man...
Dreams coming true my ass...
"You dont look too happy to see us" Sanosuke chuckled.
Ehh!?
"Sanosuke!" I ran over to him and gave him a huge hug.
"Ofcourse I missed you guys! I just wasnt expecting you guys to return so soon.."
"Really?" Sanosuke smiled, "Looks like you were having a good time here. No chores to do..No Okita to call you names..No Hijikata to boss you around..."
"Ha ha, no I've been pretty busy"
"Sure" Hijikata mused. "We thought that you'd be dead some where In a ditch"
"What!? Really you guys? I can care for myself.."
"Yeah, yeah" Shinpachi laughed as he pulled me into a bear hug. "I would've missed you"
"Aww really?"
"Ofcourse! You are our friend Choo Choo"
Aww..maybe It would'nt be so bad to return to the Shinsengumi. I mean, I do like them. Even though they dont treat me like a princess.
"You guys sure did spoil her" Shinpachi told Hisashi's father, "Shes gotten plumper!"
"No I havent!"
"Yah, Shinpachi! You cant talk to girls like that" Heisuke slapped him on the back.
"Hey! Dont tell me what to do kid!" Shinpachi shoved him.
"Children, please stop it..." I groaned.
They idiots stopped, and turned their attention back to me.
"You're pretty independent Choo Choo" Heisuke said before giving me a quick hug.
"Yeah I'm pretty awesome. And its nice to see you again Saitou!"
Saitou was sitting besides Hijikata quietly. "Yes. Im glad that we are able to rejoice once again"
Saitou was glad!
I was going to give him a hug, but thought better of it, and patted his head.
"Uh..Hijikata"
"Coco."
"Its nice seeing you too" I gave him a quick hug, and walked back to my seat.
I dont know if I was imagining it, but I think I saw his face flush.
"So..you guys defeated Kazama and Kaede I see.."
"Yeah, were glad that you went to Suzu to ask for help" Sanosuke said "They dont know where you are, but its stil not safe here"
"So what do we do now? Go to another town?"
"No country"
"Country!?" I shouted jumping out of my seat, "Why?"
"Kaede and Kazama are working for a bigger power" Hijikata explained, "Very big. We have to find him, and defeat him. Once we do that, we can stop the demons and whover else is involved in this mess"
"Can i know more about this mess?"
"No, its better you dont know that much"
Thats what Suzu said, and look what happened!
"We are going to Shanghai"
"Shanghai! China!? Omigosh, do you guys know how huge that place is-"
"Coco, relax" Sanosuke gave me a reassuring smile, "You'll be with us, so you'll be safe. We have to go there and search for clues that will lead us to Kaede and Kazama's boss"
"Oh gosh"
"Were actually leaving right this instant" Hijikata added, "We have your bags and everything so say your good byes to Hishashi and the others, and well be on our way.
This is all happening so fast!
"Uh-Hisashi! Thanks for letting me stay with you guys, and you guys too (his dad and brothers), Im gonna miss you guys alot! Maybe I'll drop by sometimes"
"Yeah, it was nice having you here" He smiled and gave me a hug.
All these hugs today...
"Lets go Choo Choo!" Heisuke shouted from ontop of his horse.
Were on horses again!
"You get to ride with me this time" Okita snickered.
Here we go again...
Hey guys! Im writing a second Choo Choo book! Its going to be called Choo Choo 2 :D Are you guys excited?!
