Shiranui Kyo POV

“Fuyumi-” I was surprised when I returned to our room, she wasn’t there anymore “Damn” I immediately ran outside of the inn and searched for her I found her eating in front of a sweet shop to my relief “Fuyumi, why the hell did you go out without any kind of message as to where you went?” I told her

“I went out to have some fresh air then return after” she plainly said

“I thought you were taken” I said to myself

“Taken by whom? I doubt that any kidnapper, ronin or thug would mess with me” she confidently says crossing her arms, I noticed that Taro was with her as well “I’ve gathered some information from the townspeople here, it seems like this place will become a battle field soon” she gathered information?

“How long were you out Fuyumi?’ I questioned

“I couldn’t sleep last night” She replies, I wanted to keep this from Fuyumi since I didn’t want her to meet Kodo but like what her mother said ‘Fuyumi is tied to her faith and you will be the one steering the wheels of what her end will Be’ “I want to go see Chizuru for a moment” she gets up and takes Taro towards the Shinsengumi headquarters, I went with her but when we got there we met a guy that was staring at the Hatamoto Mansion

“Looks like there’s no one here anymore” Fuyumi mentions

“It seems so” The guy suddenly spoke “Are you acquainted with the Shinsengumi?” Fuyumi tilts her head

“Somewhat, I came here to see Chizuru” I said

“You know Yukimura Chizuru?” he asks while she nods “How do you know that she’s with the Shinsengumi and who are you?” she furrows her brows

“Why don’t you introduce yourself first before you bombard me with questions?” she said annoyed

“I apologize, my name is Iba Hachiro” he says “and you are?”

“Kihara Fuyumi, Yukimura Chizuru’s childhood friend I’ve been with her when she got captured from the Shinsengumi, I became her bodyguard protecting her for a while but I’m not beside her now since I have a new objective” She explains in one go

“Kihara Fuyumi, Yukimura Chizuru’s childhood friend I’ve been with her when she got captured from the Shinsengumi, I became her bodyguard protecting her for a while but I’m not beside her now since I have a new objective” She explains in one go

“Chizuru never mentioned you” she raises her brow “Chizuru is also my Childhood friend but she never mentioned that she had another childhood friend” she now looked curious

“Do you mean to say that you are also a childhood friend?” she scoffs “If she never mentioned me, she never mentioned you either even when we were together in the Shinsengumi, you call her your childhood friend but how much do you know Yukimura Chizuru?” he was silent “She didn’t mention me because she has amnesia from her past and that’s understandable but I don’t know what’s your case though” she shrugs then turned around, that’s her saying I really don’t care about your story
