Rebirth-ChizuruxHijikata

This is a fanfiction, naturally, which consists of characters I do not own.
I will likely add oc's just to help the story along---but they will not interfere.

Hakuouki


Several years later, after the death of Hijikata, Chizuru had grown up to be an independent young woman. She made a role for herself in what could be her history......but in the end, her soul was not in rest-
-and neither of them had any idea about the reality of the concept of incarnations and resurrection.

Little did they know, they were both reborn in the future, many several years later.
Whether or not the other members had, indeed been incarnated, was yet for them to find out....but it was their bond that kept them strong-and their unfinished devotion to one another, that deep down inside, held regret in their passings-for even if they accomplished their life goals, their souls still ached.
It would be assumed, that, than the other men died more peacefully, because even they hadn't the age of  the samurai itself could not be brought back the way it was, so they had less reason to desire rebirth, and dreamed to never see the time the last sword was laid to rest.
May they rest in peace....



It is 2010, modern era. Chizuru Yukimura is 21 years old, and a college student attending a university in Kyoto. She is studying biology, the science of life and plantation. Given that her family knows medicine, she has some knowledge in the use of various vegetation-but it was her interest in nature that drove her to it, and, she really desired to give herself something to do. University seemed like a good idea-getting her foot in the door. Her father wanted her to succeed him, whether or not she does, wasn't quite the issue-but rather, he didn't want to see her waste herself away at home, or partying with the other young people-if anything, it was dishonorable.

Her younger brother is ill, and with him to take care of, she had been over-stressed, and their father felt it was wrong for both his children to fall-he wanted at least one of them to succeed, while he tried to cure his son at home. Even though their father at times was isolating, he worked very hard.

It was her first day in her new semester. She had taken a course at this university before, but this was the real deal. Given she had very little friends, Chizuru took her studies diligently.

She didn't quite understand some of the dreams she had some nights.
It was like she was in a different time-an age long-over. There were samurai, and war..and pain. It was an age of change, where her country was going through many difficult times, and everyone was struggling-not the same way they do now, for money and family honor, but for their lives as well. Sickness was common, and doctors were far too few. Many people died in what was now curable-it was a terrible time for those who had little money. Some nights, she woke up with a tear, feeling the pain of families she thought she had seen with her own eyes. She saw different beings, Oni...
it wasn't the same as this age-but some faces had vague familiarity.
But there was also someone else....
That feeling a person has-especially girls, where they feel like they will meet their "knight", or "prince"?.
She knew she was far too old for that, but it was something young woman believed, anyway....humans were considered foolish this way..but there was this feeling like she was searching for someone-or that someone was searching for her....
Oftentimes, she could put it aside-but there was the odd night, or day, where it seemed to bother her immensely, and not knowing why.
She felt a presence of someone in her dreams. Sometimes when she woke up, she felt like it was still there....
but anyone who is half asleep, and waking from bad dreams, would assume it was just them-and that they are merely too tired to think rationally.
So, again, she put it off..what ordinary girl wouldn't at some point?

Ordinary, she was not.


And so, she started this new school. Hoping to make new friends, she tried to open up to people, but they seemed too busy at times.
Little did she know either, that she'd find an answer to some of her long-asked questions-
"Who is it that is tormenting my dreams? That makes me want to search for them?"





This is my version of the "SSL" concept.
I wanted to make it more original, and yet, more true to the original story.
I also realized a few people are doing the school life thing, and I wanted to make mine different, and, concentrate more on the relationship than have all the characters involved...and thus, we have this story.

I think I will include Yamazaki, merely because I stated in my "new years and more" that ninja will live through the ages, and his family will still exist years to come.
For the rest, I will decide later if I will add any more of them.

Thanks for reading
