After the Utsuro Incident
-3 year's ago-

After what happened with Utsuro, people on Edo started to develop more knowledge and discoveries that they made a lot of progress. Otose's shop gained more customers, Tama and the others took care of little tama and named her Tamako, Kondo resigned and married Otae as well, Yoshiwara was doing constructions, Madao is still a madao, while Yorozuya stayed the same. The rest of the Shinsengumi found a planet with more advanced training gear for them to come back stronger. Chief Nobume allowed them to go but not for too long since they are still Edo's policemen.

A year later
Police Building

A man with short vermillion hair wearing a grey hood, beside him is another man with green-ish hair holding two parasols.
"Hey, pst! Isn't that-" whispered a cop to his comrade. "How did they get in here?"
The cops starred at the two Yatos down the hallway while both Yatos were approaching the chief's office.

*The door opens*
"Hello miss police!" Waved Kamui while smiling at Nobume, "calm down, you're too loud, Kamui" complained Abuto. Nobume was sitting on her chair, surprised to see the two yato men. "...Aren't you Umibozu's son? What brings you here, pirate", Nobume holds her katana on her seat just in case, "and how did you manage to get in?" 

"Hm" Kamui sat down on a chair in front of the chief's desk, giving her an intrigued look, "well that's not the problem here, miss, we're here for business," said Kamui. "What foreign business are you addressing?" questioned Nobume, not letting her guard down,

"Well, we heard that the police chief wants to investigate something outside earth, and we want to offer you a hand, and we are "former" space pirates after all and you'll need our proficiency and guidance towards an unknown path" explained Kamui. Nobume raised her eyebrow and adjusted her seat: "Kamui, is it? I heard that you've been staying here on earth for quite a while and there are no bad records in the past few days about your crew, harusame. You two also assisted earth back then-"
"To get straight to the point, miss, we're broke, and harusame is kind of gone but since Kamui and I, the captain and the vice-captain, are still here. We just want to set a new pace by working with earth's cops and sweat... For money." Abuto almost didn't hold back for the last word.
Nobume looked at them both. "I understand, but you are still criminals, what makes you think that I entirely trust the both of you?"
Kamui and Abuto looked at each other. "Then if we did betray the cooperation then we'll leave earth for good," Kamui told Nobume. Both of them gave each other an intense look, although Nobume gave a slight assurance in her gaze. Abuto was a bit shocked, though they weren't planning anything mischievous, he was surprised to hear that Kamui is willing to offer that kind of punishment for himself knowing that Kamui grew attached to earth, but deep down, they need to do something. 

Nobume doesn't like the idea of working with pirates, she was about to reject their offer but she was... Worried? The things that happened 2 years ago, the events that she never imagined to occur happened in front of her face. She wanted to learn more about it by going out of the earth by herself since she's strong enough to handle it but this sudden hesitation hits her if she rejects Kamui's offer. She talked about this to Kagura and Princess Soyo before, and both kagura and soyo suggested to bring someone with her. Nobume was thinking hard. "Okay!" Kamui and Abuto looked at her, hoping for her to say yes.

"I will cooperate with you, but if you break your promise- then I'll catch you myself" Kamui smiled and offered her a handshake, "deal!". They all sighed in relief, but Nobume doesn't trust them that much.

"Nobume-sama, your donut- Oh-, did I enter an important meeting?" A woman with a big box of donuts entered the office. "I'll just put it here beside you, Nobume-sama" "thank you..." the woman left. Kamui saw the box of donuts and didn't hesitate to open eat one. Nobume was shocked and got annoyed. "I didn't offer you any," Nobume said as she takes the box away from Kamui. Kamui was annoyed and tried taking the box from her, "isn't it quite rude of you for not offering your guests food?", " I never invited you guys here anyway now let go of the box!"
Kamui took 3 pondering donuts and Nobume got angrier "GIVE THOSE BACK!" she exclaimed but it was too late, Kamui ate all three at once. Nobume pushed him on the floor and tried to choke him but Kamui immediately got up dodged her, "you still have at least 9 more in the box" Kamui was confused. "SPIT IT OUT!" They both fought while Abuto just realized that he's going to be looking out for these kids. "I knew this wasn't going to be easy... for me" he sighed.

Another 1 year later...

Tsukuyo raised her head and looked through the window to know whose's footprints she was hearing.
"Long time no see, Aimi" greeted Tsukuyo at the woman.
