Chizuru's POV

I was able to reach Kyoto after 2 days. It was already sunset yet I haven't able to search a inn to stay. The night has fallen, all inns that I asked for were all full, I had no place to stay. I wished that I could see my father in no time. As I walk, a group of samurais chased after me. I ran; and remembered what happened before. My mother, Misaka and I were being chased after. "I...don't want to run anymore", that's what went through my mind. I pulled out my kodachi and fought with them. I was able to defeat them easily, they weren't that strong. The people in my past life were stronger than them. As the crimson red blood drip on my sword, men in blue haori, with white hair and they were laughing as if they were enjoying a occasion and they went to the dead corpses. They were sucking the blood on them while smiling. I felt disgust and tried to escape. But I wasn't able to, one of them blocked my way and the others imitated. Thus I had no choice but to kill them. As I fought with them, every wounds they got were healing. I had no choice but to hit them on their organs and their vital points. After stabbing them on their heart I was able to defeat them. There I analyzed what happened, at first I thought they were the same as I but its not. The difference is that they drink blood and laugh merrily as they kill. My body is drenched with blood of the dead corpses.

As soon as I about leave two men wearing also a blue haori came. I did my stance. There a man with brown hair spoke "Oh, so some one came before us", he spoke as if he knew what was happening. "May I know who you are", the violet colored hair said. I remained silent because I was thinking they were fiends. It was because they were wearing the same outfit as the dead corpses. And I remembered that the Shinshengumi was said to be wearing a blue haori. The violet colored hair said "We aren't enemies, the truth is we tried to chase those men". "Saito-kun there's no need to explain", the brown haired guy said smiling. And as they talked, a man with raven colored hair came.
