A/N: I'm once again back to give you another chapter! Sorry for updating so late! Thank you to Gianti-Faith whom had reviewed every chapter so far! Please enjoy and review this chapter!
Over the next couple of days, Mizuki taught Chizuru to use her short sword. Mizuki showed Chizuru how to handle and swing her sword to defend herself. After a few times of practicing the moves, and Mizuki corrected Chizuru's mistakes, Mizuki tested Chizuru's defensive skill. To test Chizuru, Mizuki attacked Chizuru multiple times, first slowly and softly then gradually attacking faster and using more force. It took three days to individually teach attack and defense, the rest of the time was used to play with Mizuki and Chizuru's familiars. Mizuki had thought of teaching the captains and commanders how to summon their spirit animal, but quickly shot down the idea because she knew that they could take care of themselves.
The next day after lunch, Mizuki instructed Chizuru on how to transform Moonlight into her temporary battle form, by concentrating on Moonlight's seal, which were the two dots over its eyes. After failing twice, Chizuru finally was able to temporarily remove Moonlight's seal and a purple light enveloped Moonlight, disappearing to show a large adult wolf with cloud patterns on its fur and cloud formations on its ankles. Knowing that Moonlight could fly, Mizuki told Chizuru to climb on Moonlights back, then Mizuki took off into the sky with Moonlight and Chizuru behind her. During dinner that night, the Shinsengumi received a letter from Hijikata, stating that Sannan had injured his left arm in an incident, but it was healing and that they were on their way back.
"That's good.", said Chizuru, making everyone gloomy and tense.
"No it's not. If Sannan can't use his left arm, then he won't be able to use his katana." said Mizuki and Saitou at the same time, looking at each other before turning their heads and blushing in embarrassment.
"Oh." said Chizuru and the conversation ended.
The next night during dinnertime, Hijikata and Sannan arrived back at Headquarters and entered the dining room. Relief was written on everyone's faces, but it was quickly replaced with worry when Sannan excused himself, claiming that he wasn't hungry. Everyone was so sad, that Mizuki had to do something. to help, so at night when everyone was asleep, Mizuki sneaked into Sannan's room. Then, Mizuki summoned her book of spells and flipped to the page on healing spells for broken bones. After ensuring that Sannan was sound asleep, Mizuki started chanting the quietly while waving her hand over him, sending ripples of blue light over him. When the spell was over, Mizuki felt drained of her power, but placed a note on his desk before leaving the room. The note read, 'I have healed your arm to the best of my abilities. Make sure to exercise and train your arm so it can regain it's strength.'
While making her way back to her room, Saitou saw Mizuki come from the commanders quarters and once Mizuki had gone back to her room, Saitou went to Hijikata's room to talk to him. When Saitou asked about Mizuki being in the commanders quarters, Hijikata became suspicious of her and told Saitou to keep an eye on her. No one knew why she was in the commanders quarters until the next day.
