A/N: Hey, I'm back! The Savior is updating for sure this month, sorry for the huge delay! Well, here's the chapter! ^-^

"SAITOU!"

All of the Shinsengumi and Chizuru had horrified looks on their face, while the guards had surprised looks on their faces, however Mizuki had sank to the ground, crying silently with a hand covering her mouth.

"What's going on?", Hijikata asked but with no avail as no one answered.

"Could it be?", Mizuki muttered softly a dazed look on her face.

"Mizuki?", Hijikata asked shaking her lightly snapping her out of her daze.

"!", Mizuki looked at Hijikata.

"What's happening?", Hijikata asked again wording it differently this time.

"Oh. Well It's really hard to explain to you, but I'll try my best", Mizuki stood up, telling Tsubasa and Sakura to put Saitou in the room before gesturing everyone to enter the room.

Everyone seated themselves facing Mizuki, who was seated at the front of the room, lovingly stroking Saitou's head which was resting in her lap.

'Eh!', most of the Shinsengumi and Chizuru were shocked speechless, while Yamazaki glared disapprovingly at the scene.

"Do you believe in reincarnation and in fate?", Mizuki asked suddenly out of the blue.

"Um... Well...", the Shinsengumi and Chizuru racked their heads trying to find an answer.

"It's okay. Everyone has the same reaction when they are asked this question.", Mizuki said.

"What does the question have to do with this situation?", Souji asked.

"It has everything to do with this situation. Now let me tell you the an ancient legend. This legend that is only known to the Yukimiura clan and has been passed down from generation to generation of the Yukimiura clan since millennia ago. This legend has everything to do with my and Saitou's past selves.", Mizuki then transformed into her oni form, she had white-blue hair and silvery gold eyes and was wearing a white, gold and silver kimono.

"Well...", Mizuki started telling them the legend.

- Legend of the Fated Lovers -

In ancient times, our ancestor, the female heir to the Yukimiura clan, meet a human man when she was venturing in the forests around her hidden village. Intrigued by the human, they promised to meet each other at the same spot every day. Over time, they gradually fell deeply for each other and so the she tells the man that she is an oni, but the man didn't care. One day, the man doesn't appear to meet her, so the female oni uses her senses to find him at a secluded house at the edge of the forest, and discovers that he has caught a deadly virus that is slowly killing him. She goes to visit him everyday and takes care of him, but a week later she goes to his house to find that he had taken a turn for the worst overnight and had died, leaving behind a ring clutched in his fist, the word "Eternity" carved in it. The woman morning the loss of her beloved, would rather die with the man than live her entire life knowing that the person she loves is is dead. The fates so moved from her cries, appears in front of her and gives her a single wish. The woman knew that she couldn't bring him back, so she wishes for her to be able to be with her lover once again in the future, no matter who they are, what they are/look like or how long it takes for them to meet again. The fates were so impressed with how dearly the female oni regarded the human, granted her wish but, told her that although she will be reborn as an oni, since she is an oni, with her memories, her lover, as a human will be reborn as a human without his memories. They then gave her a coloured flame in a glass jar, telling her that when they are reborn again and when the time is right, the coloured flame will restore his memories and make him an oni, so that they will never be separated again. However in the wrong hands, the coloured flame will cause destruction and misery, so the fates warn the woman to keep the coloured flame safe and hide it until the time is right. It is said that when the two lovers are reincarnated and reunited, all those on their side will be prosperous and have good fortune.

"So?", Souji asked with a bored expression.

"Wait, so Mizuki you're the reincarnation of your ancestor, right?", Chizuru suddenly asked.

"Correct.", Mizuki nodded her head.

"Ehhh!?", the baka trio and Souji yelled in shock.

"T-Then...", they looked at Saitou.

"Yes.", Mizuki already knew their question.

Suddenly an intense aura filled the room and a light burst from Saitou's chest as he floated in the air.

"!", everyone stared at Saitou's body and a couple minutes later he floated back down to the ground as the light vanished.

Everyone slowly approached Saitou, wary of what might happen next.

"What's happening?", Hijikata asked Mizuki.

"He is merging with the coloured flame. He will wake up soon.", Mizuki replied.

Seconds after she said that, Saitou moved a little and slowly opened his eyes.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter! I have to focus on my academics as my Math mark is not so great and my mom has high expectations for my Math mark. However The Savior will start updating again, but I'm also going to start an Inuyasha story. I don't know what it's going to be called, so yeah. Bye!
