. . . . .After gathering. . . . .

"My name is Chizuru Yukimura, it was about six months ago."

*Chizuru tells story*

"My father sent words as promised,I received letters everyday, faster than I could reply, yet, suddenly word from my father ceased, and a month has passed.I could stand it no longer and travelled to the capital and yet, I couldn't find word on my father's whereabouts, I was almost at my wits end when I encountered these rogue samurai."Chizuru explains.

"I see, you can from far away in Edo in search of your father, that must've been tough for you,"Kondou-sama nods in thought.

"That's why a young girl like you would dress up to pretend to be a man, huh?That makes sense. "Toshi mutters, Kondou-sama nods in agreement.

"What's that? young girl?!"Kondou-sama exclaims.

"Huh?!"Shinpachi and Heisuke fall off their stance.I laugh rolling on the floor.

"Hahahah!I told you she was a girl!!!!" I burst out.

"What the hell!Your a girl?!"Shinpachi yells.

"That can't be!(Y/n)'s right?!"Heisuke shouts, I bonk him on the head.

"What the hell do you mean (Y/n)'s right?!I've always been right!"I shout.

"We all doubt that..."Heisuke mutters.

"Oh my days."I sit back down crossed legged.

"I Isami Kondou, committed a grave crime! I've never dreamed of you being a girl!"Kondou-sama sighs heavily.

"She's obviously a girl! Wouldn't you say?"Souji says.

"Hey! You were just disagreeing with me about this, this morning!" I yell and jump and land on Souji's stomach ready to punch his face off.

"Yeah, but still, you've got no proof!"Shinpaichi exclaims, I look up as I was about to land a hit on Souji's face.

"Then what do you expect her to do to prove to you guys she's a girl?!Make her strip or something?You pervs!"I shout pointing at Shinpachi.

"Well, I was going to say let's strip her and see."Sano states.

"No, Sano!Keep your dirty hands to your self!"I point at him.

"That is utterly forbidden!"Kondou-sama yells.

"Please calm yourself."Sannan comments.

"But...this....arggg!"Kondou-sama yells in frustration.

"You just said, your Chizuru Yukimura, could you be perhaps be Koudou Yukimura's little girl?"Sannan asks.

"Do you know where my father is?"Chizuru asks.

"So your Koudou-san's little girl."Kondou-sama concludes.

The air just got tense.

I climb off Souji who sits up straight.

"So, just how much do you know?"Toshi raises an eyebrow.

"How much?"Chizuru questions.

"Don't play dumb,Not about Koudou-san."

"What are you talking about? Has something happened to my father?"She starts to panic a little.

"A little over a month ago, a fire was spreaded near the clinic your father was working, ever since that, the doctor was no where to be found."Saitou explains.

"The fire was suspicious but no one was found after."Toshi continues.

"However, it is likely he was invovled in it."Sannan comments.

"We are currently looking for Koudou-san ourselves, so if you will forget about the events last night, we could take you under our protection."Toshi suggests.

"Huh?"Chizuru looks up in surprise.

"Don't worry child, the Shinsengumi will track down your father for sure."Kondou-sama assures her.

"Good thing you didn't have to die huh, I mean, for now that is."Souji smirks, I whip my head around to him and slap him face.

"Ow..." He cries.

"Ah, yes."Chizuru agrees with frowned brows.

"Hey! I want to do that too!" Heisuke yells as he sees the slap mark on Souji's face.

"Ah well, if your a girl, we gotta treat you properly then won't we?"Shinpachi says.

"Hey!How come I'm a girl and I don't get those words?!" I yell, highly irritated.

"Words like what?"Heisuke asks.

"Good morning, you first, all that lady stuff!"I shout.

"Well...you hold swords, kill like a maniac, doesn't wear girly stuff, keeps daggers under her pillow, doesn't sit properly, eats like a man and doesn't be polite like a girl half of the time."Kondou-sama lists.

"Kondou-sama?!Really, I do all those things?"I said pretending to think thoughtfully about my actions.

"Well, she's one of us, she didn't grow up around women much so, explains why she doesn't act like one."Shinpachi states.

"Would it be possible for her to act a like a woman if I asked you to act like one?"Toshi asks with a glare as Shinpachi shivered.

"No thanks, I'll pass." Shinpachi shivers.

"But still, we need to give some thought into letting a girl stay here, I mean a non-defensive woman."Sano corrects himself.

"We should make her somebody's servant.Kondou-san's or Sannan-san's."Toshi suggests.

"No way! Hijikata-san, it was your idea, so why don't take care of her?"Souji blurts out.

"Yeah, that makes sense, she'll be safe by your side,"Kondou-sama agrees.

"It's decided Hijikata-kun, take good care of the little lady will you?"Sannan grins.

"Alright!That's our reliable vice-commander alright!"Sano laughs , we laugh along with him.

"So, there's no dinner tonight?"I asked.

"How about it?we go out for the night for some hot sake?"Heisuke suggests.

"I don't drink much, but food sounds delicious!"Heisuke, Shinpachi, Sano and I go out together.

I ordered food while the men ordered 15 bottles of sake.

"Wow, can't you guy's drink a little less?"I asked them, they all had pink faces each with 2 bottles in their hand, Heisuke was drinking a lot too sitting next to me, urging me to drink.I pay the bill and made a mental note to get those three to treat me for lunch next time.I told the shopkeeper I would be back for Heisuke and Shinpachi.I carried heavy Sano back to the Shinsengumi and dump him onto the grass in the garden.I ran back and got Shinpachi. While I ran he said something.

"It's hot!"he breathes.

Hot, huh?Let's give you a dip!

I ran back to the Shinsengumi and chucked him into the pond, Shinpachi and Sano were both passed out.

One more to go!

I run back to the bar and pay the shopkeeper an extra fee for keeping the shop up late.I pull Heisuke's arm over my neck and my other arm around his waist, supporting him up.I dragged both of us back to headquaters.

I'm too tired to find a place outside to dump him, I headed for my room where I could sleep straight away.
