A/N: Hi! I'm back! Thank you to Gianti-Faith and beautifulorangetampon for reviewing my last chapter! I was thinking of having my OC and upcoming original characters drawn but my sister who is a good artist won't help me and I'm a horrible artist. Well, enjoy!

Having slept better, Mizuki woke up early, in a good mood, to prepare breakfast. During breakfast however, Hijikata vaguely mentioned 'Mizuki's flying ability', causing most people to choke on their food or gap in shock. The only people who didn't react were Mizuki, Hijikata, Saito and Yamazaki.

"What?!", exclaimed Okita, Kondou and the baka trio, as Chizuru gave a look of awe.

Once everything had settled down, Okita asked, "So can Yamazaki fly as well?".

"No. I was taken in by his family when my family died.", Mizuki said before leaving as Okita asked, "Why did they die?".

"She doesn't like to talk about her past.", Yamazaki clarified for Okita, whom was shocked at her reaction.

Yamazaki left shortly after finishing his meal to find Mizuki, leaving the rest to sit in silence. When they peeked out to see whether Mizuki and Yamazaki were outside, what they saw surprised them. Mizuki and Yamazaki were sitting on the cherry blossom tree talking and laughing about their life before he left to join the Shinsengumi. They never knew that Yamazaki could be like this. Chizuru slowly and silently slid the door shut, giving the two some privacy.

For the rest of the day Mizuki did not talk to Okita and during lunch, everyone sat in silence until Chizuru asked, "What is your real name?".

Mizuki placed down here bowl of rice, before handing Chizuru a beautiful gold locket, saying, "My real name is Mizumi Yukimura, I'm your cousin, Chizuru."

The news shocked everyone in the room, especially Chizuru. Mizuki told Chizuru to open the locket and inside, were two pictures. The first picture was of a family of four, a beautiful mother, handsome father and two cute twin children on a guy and the other a girl, everyone was smiling. The second picture was of three children, the same two children but, this time with another cute girl with light coloured hair.

"The first picture is of your real family and the second one is of you, Kaoru and I.", Mizuki explained, "Kodo is actually not your father but our uncle."

Tears formed in Chizuru's eyes, running down her face as she remembered. She remembered her childhood , the night her parents were killed and when she got separated from her brother. Everyone was once again shocked at the fact that Kodo wasn't Chizuru's actual father and felt bad for her, she had been deceived by the only person she had trusted.

Suddenly Heisuke blurted out, "So she can fly?".

"No, but she has an ability I don't have.", Mizuki said mentally face palming herself, "Even though we are from the same clan, doesn't mean we have the same all of the same abilities. In fact every clan and person has unique abilities.".

"Anyways, I would like to join the Shinsengumi.", announced Mizuki, earning looks of shock from everyone.

After some arguing from Yamazaki and pleading from Mizuki, it was decided that Mizuki would spar against Saito to determine whether she would join. When everyone finished their lunch, they gathered outside to watch Mizuki and Saito spar while Yamazaki left to clear his head.

"Don't hold back Saito.", Mizuki said, as they began.

Mizuki drew her katanas, she took a breath and sprinted towards Saito before she seemed to disappear. Shocked at her speed, Saito looked around in confusion and drew his katana. Suddenly, Saito's katana was knocked out of his hands and sent flying point first into the ground, surprising everyone. Then Mizuki appeared, holding one katana behind his neck and one pointed at his heart. Finally, she removed her katanas and placed them in their sheaths before turning towards Kondou. All of them at wide eyed and slack jawed, staring at Mizuki with new found respect, 'Never mess with her.' everyone thought to themselves. Once they got over their shock, everyone agreed that she would join the Shinsengumi.

Thanking them, Mizuki turned to Chizuru and said, "Let's start your training.", surprising everyone.

"The training is also private so I would appreciate if you guys could leave us alone.", Mizuki stated, when the rest just stood there.

At first, everyone peeked in on the training only to find that Mizuki was "teaching Chizuru how to use her short sword", but in fact Mizuki had set up an illusion to throw off the guys. Meanwhile, Mizuki taught Chizuru about oni and when she was finished the lesson, Mizuki thought of a great activity for Chizuru to do. Mizuki instructed Chizuru to lift her arm up until it was parallel to the ground. Mizuki then told Chizuru to close her eyes then say, I summon thee, then the name that pops in her mind.

"I summon thee, Moonlight!", exclaimed Chizuru, "!".

Suddenly, a cute blue and white wolf pup appeared from midair, landing on Chizuru's face catching her off balance. The wolf pup hugged and licked Chizuru's face, it's tail wagging like crazy, overjoyed at finally being let free! When Moonlight was done enjoying herself, she leaped to the ground exploring her new surroundings. Laughing Mizuki told Chizuru that Moonlight was her familiar, Chizuru's her protector and friend and even showed Chizuru one of her familiars, Lyra. Lyra was an adorable snow white kitten with gold patterns on her fur and had tiny wing as well! Both familiars played together as Mizuki explained to Chizuru, the proper care needed to keep the familiars happy.

As it neared dinnertime, Mizuki wrapped up the lesson and withdrew Lyra sending her to back to bed before instructing Chizuru how to do the same. When Moonlight heard her, she gave Mizuki and Chizuru the most adorable puppy eyes she could make, pleading to not go to bed. The look that Moonlight gave persuaded Chizuru and Mizuki to let her stay but Moonlight also had to be obedient. While Mizuki prepared dinner, she chuckled to herself as she thought of how desperately Moonlight wanted to stay with Chizuru. During dinner however, everyone stared at Mizuki, Chizuru and Moonlight.

"What is this madness?", shouted Hijikata angrily, he hated any animal that came into Shinsengumi headquarters.

"Moonlight is a very obedient wolf pup and will listen to Chizuru. I promise that Moonlight won't cause any trouble to you Hijikata.", Mizuki said, as Chizuru fed Moonlight some of her sardines.

"Fine, but if I catch it causing any trouble, it will return to where it came from.", Hijikata said sighing heavily.

A minute later, Hijikata announced that he and Sannan would be going to Osaka on a mission. Everyone wished them luck and by the next day, Hijikata and Sannan were leaving for Osaka, Mizuki felt a sense of unease in her gut as she watched them go.
