The next day, Mizuki, wearing a blue kimono, was walking on the busy streets of Kyoto, when she saw Saito and Okita whom were starting their patrol. While eavesdropping on their conversation, Mizuki finally got to know their names, as she had referred to them by their hair colour last night. Worrying that they had seen her, Mizuki quickly turned around and walked away from them, her fear building when she realized that Saito was patrolling the street she was on. Mizuki felt his eyes on her back following her as she tried to escape, walking into a large crowd and slipping into a network of alley ways. Thinking about her situation, Mizuki decided to turn herself in if Saito caught her,' It would be nice to see onii- san again.' she thought. Something didn't feel right to her as she kept walking, because she couldn't feel his eyes on her back anymore. Suddenly, Saito ran out from an alley to her right, catching her off guard. Before Saito could say anything, Mizuki asked whether she could see her brother, he nodded, stunned by what she had said. Leading her to headquarters, Saito thought of the events of last night.
Saito's Flashback
" What shall we do with the other witness?", Saito asked Hijikata as they were discussing about the night's incident.
" WHAT?!", exclaimed the baka trio (aka. Heisuke, Sano and Shinpachi).
" Yes, there was another person there, whom had saved the boy.", said Okita, leaning against the wall.
" The person also seems to know Yamazaki.", Hijikata added, pulling out the unopened letter, and handing it to Yamazaki.
Yamazaki accepted the letter and opened it, a look of worry appearing on his face as he read the letter. When he finished reading the letter, Yamazaki sighed as he put down the letter.
Clearing his throat, Yamazaki began to speak, "The person you met was my little sister Mizuki. The letter is about our parents, they had gone missing a few days ago when a fire burnt down our entire village. Luckily no one was hurt."
Everyone fell silent as they thought about what he had said. Finally, Hijikata broke the silence by inquiring about her whereabouts, but Yamazaki didn't know.
End of Saito's Flashback
After much discussion, it was decided that Mizuki had to be found a brought back to headquarters to be questioned. Saitowas surprised that bringing her to headquarters would be this easy. They finally reached the Shinsengumi's headquarters and were about to enter the meeting room. Mizuki tensed up, wondering what would happen next.
