Accidental Fate

Chapter 1

The blue coats passed my shop for the first time one month ago, the Shinsengumi. They easily stand out because of those bloody blue and white coats, chasing any customers in my store running for fear of a random fight caused by those wolves.

He is never on patrol.

Standing in the doorway of my shop, I glared at the passing warriors. A man with a green bandana double took when he locked eyes with. Immediately he whispered to his comrade, a red-haired man who also looked in my direction. "Shes looks exactly like him!" The blue eyes one said. I'm guessing he's the second division captain, Nagakura Shinpathi. His brutish stature and flirtatious tendencies are well known even here.

I continued to glare at the pair as their divisions circled the area, one of them even stopping at my shop, "Good morning Miss." The auburn haired one said. "Are you buying or wasting my time?" I said coldly, "Hey now I was just saying hello, that's not really an attitude you should adopt while serving customers now is it?" He smiled crookedly at me. "Its none of your concern how I run my business Shinsengumi."

He chuckled softly to himself, "Sanosuke Harada." He bowed his head to me. "Kazuhi," I said sharply. "What no last name?" He asked gently while looking at my vegetables and fish produce. "Not one you need to know, yet." I went to my money box as he followed me in, his large carrying basket full. Well, at least I'll make something today. After telling him the price, he paid me still grinning crookedly. "You wouldn't happen to sell sake too?" He asked but I shook my head. "No, I do not sell alcohol. Although I do sell medicines I make myself." I informed him. I may hate my father and his damn Shinsengumi but I still need to eat.

"What kind of medicines?" Harada asked, "Pain relief, infection-fighting, and ones to stop swelling." I said, "Oh and also to clean wounds, perhaps made by a sword or spear." I nodded towards his spear and he looked towards my sword.

"It's rare to see a young lady such as yourself with a pair of swords like that." He smirked approvingly at my blades, "Thank you for your business please come again." I said shortly and turned my back to restock some of my shelves. "Your last name wouldn't be Hijikata by any chance?" He asked while stepping out the door. Pretending I didn't hear him, I continued to refill my shelves.

Harada pov back at HQ

"It was terrifying! She had the exact same glare as Hijikata-San! His eyes and everything! She even looked like him! Except with boobs and slightly more feminine features!" Shinpatchi exclaimed to the captains at dinner as Hjikata-San was in Osaka.

"I doubt she looked as close to Hijikata san as you say," Saito said quietly.  Shinpatchi scoffed, "Tell 'em Sano!" He elbowed me in the ribs. All eyes went to me, "She has his purple eyes and black hair exactly. The cold mask he wears? She wore. She could have been his daughter for all we know."

"Pfft Hijikata San having a daughter? The only woman he lets anywhere near him is Chizuru chan." Souji scoffed. "Well, Hijikata San did have a past before the Shinsengumi," Heisuke said while chewing on his fish, the fish I bought at Kazuhi's stall.
"Yeah, but he was with Kondo San before the Shinsengumi! There's no way this girl is his daughter! What age was she?" Souji asked me.

"19 or 20 oldest," I said and his face froze.

"Shit, that sounds about considering his age..." Souji mumbled as the door opened. "KONDO SAN DOES HIJIKATA SAN HAVE A SECRET DAUGHTER!?" All the captains screamed as soon as the commander came through the door.

"EEEHH!?"

I decided to publish the first chapter as one of my other books will be ending soon. Thank you for reading!
