Disclaimer: I do not own Hakuouki.

After Kazama's birthday banquet, Chizuru found that she was getting a lot of attention at school –even more than she was already getting. Not only was she the only known member of the main Yukimura family, but she was also Kazama Chikage's fiancée. It was big news for the whole school. Though other than that, her daily routine hasn't changed by much. Every day, it was go to school, then come back and work as Chikage's personal maid.

She still worked as the school council's secretary. The only thing different about the council now was that Shiranui's constantly going on about how his "husband" is cheating on him with his "daughter."

Chikage lets her eat with her friends now, so she spends every lunch break with Heisuke, Saitou, Okita, and Yamazaki. Though they've been through a lot, Chizuru feels that she's closer than ever with them.

She's been contacting Risa, her friend from middle school, again. They've been meeting up now and then, and she's been telling Risa all about her new life with Chikage. Thanks to the news, Risa's been pretty updated on everything that's happened at the banquet, so it didn't take very long to tell her the whole story. She also told Risa about Sen, and how she had helped her. Chizuru made a commitment to let the two meet one day. Surely, they would get along.

Sen visits every now and then, and just recently, she introduced her new fiancé to Chizuru. She could tell that Sen really loved this man. In fact, he was her original fiancé until the collapse of the Yukimura family, in which Chikage then had to be engaged to Sen.

And Chikage's mother? She's been nicer lately. A lot nicer. Although she isn't the nicest she can be, it was a big change from the attitude she had given her in the beginning. Now, his mother has accepted her, and she even entrusts some personal tasks to her once in a while. Of course, once Chikage figures this out, he would try to get her out of it. He hated having his personal maid obeying others.

And of course, Chikage's still Chikage. He's been a lot busier lately though, since it's been determined that he would be the next heir. Since he presented himself in front of everyone so early, his father decided to start getting him used to the work world. He disappears once in a while, but he would always come back, reassuring Chizuru that the work was easy. She worried whether he overworked himself sometimes, but he would always tell her that he was fine. Today was one of the days that Chikage came back after a short absence.

"Welcome back," Chizuru greeted warmly and bowed traditionally.

"I'm back."

"How was work?"

"I wasn't at work today," he replied mischievously, taking off his jacket. He handed it to Chizuru who took it accordingly.

"Then where were you? You weren't skipping, were you?"

"I didn't have work today. I went out."

"With who?"

One thing that Chikage figured out about Chizuru was that she got jealous really easily. If what happened with Shizuka wasn't enough proof, this would be.

"Are you jealous?"

"N-n-no," she stammered, turning her back on him.

And she was pretty darn stubborn about it too.

He chuckled in his deep voice and crept up behind her. "I went to buy you something." She spun around quickly.

"You bought me something? What is it?"

He smirked. One reason he loved buying her gifts was because he loved seeing her excitement. It was adorable, in his opinion. "This." He took out a package from the bag he was holding.

Whatever he had bought for her was wrapped in pink cherry blossom designed wrapping paper. It brought a tingling sense of nostalgia to Chizuru and she smiled. Tears were forming in her eyes, but her smile did not waver.

"Are you crying?" Chikage asked with a hint of panic barely audible in his voice. To any other person, this slight emotion would have passed by without being noticed, but to Chizuru, the emotion in his voice was recognized.

"Yeah, but they're tears of joy," she grinned. "I love it. Thank you."

"You didn't even open it yet," he said, half confused and half amused.

"It's the thought that counts," she said reassuringly. She stood on her tippy toes and pecked him lightly on the cheek. "Thank you."

Chikage was caught by surprise, but more than that, he was blushing. The Kazama Chikage was blushing –blushing! He looked away abruptly and hid his face with a hand. "Don't look," he muttered.

Chizuru giggled. "Sure, sure."

"Don't look," he demanded again, the blush on his face turning even redder.

Chizuru laughed again. She had a feeling that living with this demon from now on will be a lot of fun.

"What? They're engaged again?" a boy with brown hair and matching eyes asked hastily.

"Y-yes, I saw with my own t-two eyes. H-he proposed to her on stage," Shizuka replied, fear evident in her voice.

"You useless! What kind of sister are you?" the boy raged.

"Not your real one, that's for sure," she mumbled to herself.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" she shrieked.

"Whatever, you're useless to me now. You can't even do a single thing right. I'll take action from here on."

"W-what are you going to do?" Shizuka asked for fear of what he would do.

"I'm going to pay a little visit to my beloved, little sister. My real one, that is."

"But Kaoru! If you do that, your parents will-"

"Don't tell me what to do, Shizuka. You can't stop me."

"I…I'm sorry."

The boy, Kaoru, laughed maniacally. Then just as abruptly as he had started, he stopped, but his sinister sneer did not go away.

I have your parents …Now what are you going to do, dearest Chizuru?

Thank you for reading up until now! ^^
