Hakuoki (c) Otomate (Idea Factory)

Author's Note – It will follow the prologue and roughly the first chapters of the original game. The names will be placed in the Japanese format; last name, first name. Once after I pass a certain point of the game, everything that follows will not be historically accurate and will be fiction.

Okita Souji X Yukimura Chiaki (OC)
Hijikata Toshizo X Yukimura Chizuru

Summary: The sword pierced through her. Chizuru stood there, shocked. "Run...Chizuru..." Her blood was spilled. Chizuru wanted to stay and fight the attacker off...but she couldn't...so she ran. She ran back to the Shinsengumi to find Okita, who turned to look at her calmly. "Ch-Ch-Chiaki's been stabbed!" Okita was gone in an instant.

Impeccable
Chapter i

"Chizuru, are you tired?"

The person – Chizuru – shook her head. "No, I'm fine. How about you, One – I mean, Onii-san?"

The black-haired person smiled at their younger sibling. "I'm feeling fine too. We're nearing Kyoto now. I hope Dr. Matsumoto saw our letter."

"I hope so too...these clothes are still a bit uncomfortable for me." Chizuru said, shifting her body.

"I'm sorry for forcing you into them. But it was the only way that I knew of that would be safe for our travel."

Chizuru shook her head. "No, I understand completely. You must be feeling the same uncomfortable feeling...especially with the bandages around your chest. But, Chiaki-Onii-san..."

"Hm?"

"It feels weird to call you like a guy..." Chizuru mumbled.

Chiaki smiled. "Don't worry. It will only last until we get to Dr. Matsumoto's place."

Chizuru smiled at her older sibling. "I know. But it was a long travel. How far do you think we are from Kyoto?"

"Maybe a day or two. We haven't been stopped, which is good for us. Luck must be on our side right now." Chiaki said, looking up at the sky.

"Dr. Matsumoto isn't home...?" Chizuru read the note on the door.

Chiaki walked up next to her. "Hm...I guess luck only lasted until we got to Kyoto. We have enough money to stay at an inn, but it will only last us so long. We can only hope that Dr. Matsumoto will come back during our stay in the inns."

"But what if he doesn't come by then? It looks like he missed our letter. And we won't be able to just freely wander the streets of Kyoto either. Rumors say that it's dangerous."

"I know. Calm down, Chizuru. If we do find trouble, I'll defend us both. But I'd prefer not to get into any trouble at all."

Chizuru sighed. "I can fight too. Father taught me how to fight with this kodachi."

"Father also taught me how to fight with this katana." Chiaki told her. "I'm more experienced in sword fighting than you, Chizuru."

"I know..."

"Good." Chiaki smiled. "Let's go."

"Yes." Chizuru followed her older sister's lead.

The siblings were walking, looking for inns, but most were full, others were expensive. It was night, and they still could not find a place to stay.

"I guess it's harder to find a place to stay in Kyoto." Chizuru said.

"Yeah."

"Oi, kids."

Chiaki and Chizuru turned around to see three ronins.

"Can we help you...?" Chizuru asked the three, reaching down for her kodachi.

Chiaki placed her hand on Chizuru's, stopping her from touching her kodachi. Chizuru turned to look at her sister, only to see Chiaki shaking her head. Chizuru looked back the the three men, Chiaki moving forward to stand in front of Chizuru.

"Pretty nice blade you both got there." One of them eyed the katana on Chiaki's hip, another eyed Chizuru's kodachi.

"Looks like a bit much for a pup like this one, am I right?"

"Give it here, okay? We'll use it to defend our country."

Chiaki glared at them. She immediately took hold of Chizuru's hand and turned for a run. Chizuru quickly got the message and started to run with Chiaki's pace.

"Oi! Get back here! Bastards!"

The three ronin started to give chase.

"Gosh, they sure don't give up easily, do they?" Chizuru said.

"Be quiet, Chizuru. In here." Chiaki led Chizuru into an alley. "Get down..." Chiaki whispered to Chizuru, who complied silently.

"Ch-Chiaki, it's too quiet."

Chiaki turned to Chizuru and nodded in agreement. "Stay here..."

"Bu-"

"Shh." Chiaki told her as she crept out the alley.

As Chiaki stepped out and turned her head, the screams of the three ronin started up, startling Chizuru, who was in the alley, watching as her sister moved right, out of her sight. Chiaki had her hand on her katana, ready to pull it out as she looked at the men in blue coats ready to kill the three ronin. She knew something was wrong. One looked up and started to laugh maniacally.

Chiaki unsheathed her blade as the man in a blue coat moved towards her with speed. Chiaki blocked his attack, but with much strength than she would have expected.

Chizuru poked her head out and gasped. She ran out to her sister then suddenly stopped after seeing the three ronin's body on the street, dead. She slowly looked at the two approaching men as her sister was blocking attacks from another man with a blue coat.

Chiaki, as if sensing her younger sister was there, turned her head to see Chizuru, standing in shock. She quickly turned back to push the white-haired man off her. She ran back to Chizuru quickly.

"Chizuru. Chizuru!"

Chizuru looked at her sister. "Ch-Chiaki."

"Run! Run, Chizuru!"

"B-Bu-"

Chiaki turned around and blocked another incoming attack from the men.

Chizuru stared as the other two men were starting to move towards them closer.

"Run Chizuru!" Chiaki yelled as she kept on fighting the all-powerful opponent.

Chizuru laid her hand on her kodachi. "N-No!" She unsheathed her kodachi, and with uneasy breaths, moved forward slowly.

"Idiot! Stay away! They're more than you can handle!"

Chizuru shook her head. "N-Not if you're in danger."

Chiaki clenched her teeth and pushed the man back once more. She then heard two slashes and looked to see the other two men in blue coats dead. She took this oppurtunity to knock down the one that kept attacking her.

Two men stepped out from the shadows then, one held an amused expression, the other not so amused.

Chiaki looked at them as she stood up, she was awfully wary of them and slowly went back to Chizuru, who still held her kodachi out, but was slumped to the ground; her own legs unsteady from fear when fighting.

"Huh? Hajime, we have some onlookers." A man with brown hair said, a smile on his face as he went up to kill the last one.

Chiaki quickly sheathed her blade after wiping it and helped with Chizuru, never leaving her eye from the two men in the same blue coats.

"Souji, don't just point your sword at them without the commander knowing."

Chiaki stood next to Chizuru, ready to strike if they were enemy.

Saito watched Chiaki's movements, aware that she held some type of skill. Okita on the other hand, just felt like the two should die.

"But we might as well just kill them now. After all, isn't that what Hijikata's gonna do anyway?"

Saito closed his eyes for a bit, then re-opened them. "Perhaps. But that decision is not ours to make."

Chizuru looked up, and finally felt the strength to stand up, with the help of her sister of course. Then, just as Chizuru stood up, she was shifted rather quickly as Chiaki used her sword to block another sword. Chizuru saw another man in a blue coat hold a sword up to Chiaki's neck; Chiaki's sword pointed at his arm. Both held eye contact for a long time, Saito and Okita stood on the sidelines.

Chiaki sighed in defeat. She slumped her shoulders and sheathed her sword back in it's respective sheathe. She looked back at the black-haired man. "We will go with you, but only if you do not hurt my younger brother."

Chizuru stiffened in her position, trying to figure out what Chiaki was doing.

The black-haired man stared at the two, his eyes cold. "I can't promise you that." He said coldly, but he slowly sheathed his own sword.

"Wh-What?" Chizuru asked, clearly confused.

Chiaki looked back at Chizuru. "It should be okay now...they won't kill us so easily." She whispered to her younger sister.

Chizuru nodded her head reluctantly.

"Wait, Hijikata-san. Are you sure it's not easier to just kill them here?"

"So we just kill people to make them be quiet now? No, we're taking them back and I'll figure out how to deal with them."

"I agree with the commander." The blue-haired man said.

"Yes, yes." The brown-haired man said reluctantly and walked over to Chizuru.

He took hold of Chizuru's wrist. Chiaki was about to go stop him when the blue-haired man stopped her.

"We're going to have to hold you." He said quietly.

Chiaki watched as the brown-haired man led Chizuru down the road with the black-haired man. She was also led down the same path, but by the blue-haired man.

Chiaki woke up drowsily. After her mind cleared, she immediately looked around, only to find that she was bound up. She wondered where Chizuru was when a man entered the room. It was the same one from last night; the one who had to hold her wrists so she wouldn't run.

"Where's my brother?" Chiaki asked sternly.

Saito Hajime, as she recalled from last night, stared down at her. "You are in no position to ask us that."

The answer ticked Chiaki off, but she held her calm. "Then why are you here?" She asked him.

She figured later, that they were a part of the Shinsengumi.

Saito froze, then spoke. "I'm bringing you to the main room." Saito went over and carried her over his shoulder.

Chiaki knew why they were bringing her into the main room. It was to talk about her position.

"Well then, we need only determine if you are a threat. Will you tell us your side of the story?" A voice said. It seemed nice and sympathetic.

"Yes, please." It was Chizuru's voice.

When Saito opened the door, everyone looked over.

"Oh, Saito." A man with a smile greeted him.

Chizuru looked at Chiaki. "O-Onee-san!" She screamed, bewildered by her position.

"Eh? So that person is your sister?" A boy with long hair asked.

"Heh, so we had another girl." A man with red hair said.

"Amazing! I'm attracting all these girls now." A man with a green headband said.

Saito placed Chiaki next to Chizuru, but her legs were still bound.

"Now, now, Saito. Isn't it best if you release the bindings on her legs?"

Saito looked at a man in yellow, then nodded and released Chiaki's leg bindings. Chiaki sat up in a more comfortable position next to Chizuru.

"Uhm...Onee-san, I think it's best to tell you first that they found out we're really girls." Chizuru told her.

Chiaki nodded, finally knowing her current situation. She looked forward at a man. He seemed to be awfully generous about many things. His air and vibe just screamed, 'come to me for help'.

"Now then, shall we continue?" Another man said.

He wore glasses and held a polite tone.

"Ah, right. I'm Kondou Isami. This is..."

Kondou went on to explain who was who officially. For Chizuru, this would be his second attempt. For Chiaki, this was a first.

"So, will you both explain why you're here in Kyoto?"

Chizuru started. "Uhm, well, we came here looking for our father. He's said to be in Kyoto, but we lost contact with him six months ago. So we traveled from Edo to Kyoto." Chizuru looked at her sister, who nodded, then continued. "I'm Yukimura Chizuru. And this here is my older sister, Yukimura Chiaki."

"Oh, then your from Edo as well? And you came all the way to Kyoto to find your father!?"

Chiaki nodded in response.

"What business did your father have in Kyoto?" Kondou asked the two.

"Our father is a doctor. His name is Yukimura Kodo, and he specializes in western medicine-" Chiaki started, but was cut off.

"What!?" Hijikata interrupted.

Chiaki knew that the Shinsengumi knew something about her father now. The atmosphere had suddenly turned tense when she said their father's name. She looked at Chizuru, who had also felt the change.

"Oh my...So the good doctor Kodo had two daughters?" Sanan asked.

"You know our father...?" Chizuru asked.

Chiaki moved closer to Chizuru, feeling the atmosphere turn into a bit of a dreadful feeling. She looked at each and everyone of the Shinsengumi captains.

"The Shinsengumi is currently attempting to determine the whereabouts of Dr. Yukimura Kodo." Saito said.

"You're after my father!? Why!?" Chizuru yelled.

"Chizuru, calm down." Chiaki told her younger sister.

Chizuru clamped her mouth shut.

"Oh, no, you've got us all wrong. We're not, uh, after him." Okita spoke up.

Chizuru visibly relaxed.

"He's a fellow supporter of the Shogun but...Well, he kind of disappeared a little while ago." Okita finished.

Chiaki lifted her head up upon hearing that bit of information. She unconciously looked over at Chizuru. Saito noticed her movement, thinking that Chiaki, the older of the two, knew something, but dropped it and explained a possible position Kodo could have been put in.
