Acidental Fate

My name is Kazuhi Hijikata.
Yes, that's right Hijikata.

Yes, you see my father is none other than Toshizo Hijikata, Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi. I should be proud of such a respectable father right?

Wrong.

That man had a fling with my mother when they were no older than sixteen years old, he didn't know she got pregnant and was disowned by her family, he didn't care as long as his desires were fulfilled.

My mother, while being pregnant with me, fled to Kyoto, opened her own small shop and made a life for us both. Although her giving birth to me damaged her health permanently she never once cursed my father's name, she said I was his greatest gift to her. I hate him. That selfish man only ever thought about himself, my mother never even got a goodbye from him. She woke up and he was gone.

19 years later, a year after my mother died, I have finally tracked him down and I will make him pay for abandoning us.

However, I didn't expect to meet a certain samurai along the way...

Will he change my vengeful thoughts? Cast away my hatred? Teach me how to love and forgive? Or break my already splintered heart?
