Rumi Emiko, also known as Emi, has a tendency to fight and because of that she is always getting in trouble with the Shinsengumi. And today is like any other day, right now she is getting scolded by the one and only Demon Vice Chief, Hijikata Toshiro. "Look he went for the first punch! What else was I supposed to do?" Hijikata rubs his temples, "I don't know but you didn't have throw him into a vending machine!" Emi sighs as she rests her head against the cool metal table, "Fine, I'm sorry for breaking the guy's arm." "That's not what you should be sorry for! You know you have to pay for breaking that vending machine!" "Yeah yeah, I know... I know...." Hijikata lights his cigarette and takes a deep inhale. Blowing the smoke out, he looks at her and sighs, "Are you ever going to stop getting into trouble? I can't keep scolding you like this and protect my life against Sougo at the same time. That's to many brats to handle." "Then put a leash on him." Suddenly the door burst open and Sougo walks in, "I don't think so. I put the leashes on people. I wouldn't mind putting one on you." Emi makes a face of disgust, "Don't touch me, Sadistic Prince." Emi stands up and heads toward the door, "Is my daily scolding finished? I have some errands to run." "Don't forget to pay for that vending machine!" "Yeah yeah, I won't forget. Bye Hijikata, Sadistic Prince!" Before she walks out, Emi bends over and sets up a tripwire. ~Kehehe! One of them will trip and I will be the victor this time!~ "Oi! What are you doing?" "Uh um tying my shoe... But I'm finished so bye!" Emi steps over the wire and hides behind one of the walls. Suddenly there is a huge thud, Emi peeks around the wall and sees Sougo face planted on the floor. She holds in her laughter as tears fill her eyes. Sougo pushes himself up, a look of anger spreads across his face. Emi giggles, "Score one for Emi! Zero for Okita!" "Ohoho, she's definitely asking for it!" Sougo pulls out his bazooka and aims it towards her. She immediately stops laughing and starts running away, "Where the hell did you pull that out from?!" "Everyone has a bazooka in their heart." He pulls the trigger and the rocket comes flying towards her. She jumps into an empty room, avoiding the explosion that occurred outside the door. "SOUGO! Stop making a mess!!!" While Hijikata scolded Sougo, she took this chance to escape. She runs until the building is no longer in sight. Emi stops running and throws her arms up in victory, "Haha! Escaped again! No one can defeat me!! Ugh I feel really dizzy..." She puts her hand against her forehead and gasps, "Do I have a fever?! When the hell did that happen!!" ~Ugh I have to get home and take something... Hehe I can't believe he fell for the tying my shoe lie... I was obviously wearing boots!~ Emi happily walks back to her small little home, but on her way there she finds someone passed out on the ground. "Oh snap... Someone totally laid this guy out. Hey, are you okay?" She gets no answer. She gently nudges the person with her foot, he lets out a small groan. "Well he's still alive, that's for sure. Umm buddy do you need help?" He only lets out a small moan. "I'll take that as a yes.... Come on, Braid Boy." Emi bends down and lifts him up.  She puts his arm over her shoulder and continues walking home. When she got home, she laid the man onto her futon. "Man you're a heavy one... Let's see if you have a fever." She puts a hand against his forehead, "Hmm you don't have a fever, but you do have a pretty good looking face." ~I guess I'll let him sleep for a little and then I'll kick him out when he wakes up!~ She walks into her kitchen and ponders what she should eat. ~Maybe I could make some fish... Mmm, fried or grilled.... Which would taste better with rice? If I make grilled I could squeeze some lemon juice on it and the rice could be a perfect match! It's decided, grilled fish it is!~ Twenty minutes later and the food was done. A delicious aroma fills the tiny house. ~Soooo much food!! I always do this. I always make too much food.... Who am I kidding! There's no such thing as too much food!~ Emi sets up the table. While she was setting up the table, the man she "saved" quickly sat up. "Where am I?" "Oh you woke up?" "Is that food!" "Umm yeah... Don't tell me that the smell of food woke you up." He stands up and excitedly walks over to the table. "Eh? Who the--- You know whatever, take a seat and enjoy the meal. I made too much anyways." He takes a seat and starts eating. "Ah! You should slow down! You could choke!!" Then there is a loud growling sound, "Was that your stomach?" "I haven't eaten this good in forever! Seconds please!" He holds out his bowl with a smile on his face. Emi lets out a chuckle, "Alright! Give me a second." She serves him and grabs a bowl herself. She sits across from him and starts eating. ~This is kinda weird... I haven't had anyone over in awhile... The last person who came to my house was Hijikata and that was to arrest me... Wow that sounds bad!~ "Is there more?" "Um there isn't anymore fish but there is still a lot more rice if you want that." He puffs out his left cheek and sighs, "I'll take it if you have soy sauce." ~Is he pushing me around in my own house!~ "I'll give you some soy sauce if you tell me your name." "Kamui! Now hand over the soy sauce!!" Emi grabs the soy sauce out of the fridge and tosses it to him, but the moment he catches it, the bottle broke in his hand.
