Next day I got ready. I bind my chest tightly. Brushed my short hair and wore a baggy shirt with looses jeans. I took my bag and jumped out of the window. Then I ran to the graveyard.

I saw the time, I was an hour early. I'll just wait I guess. I sat in front of the grave and waited and waited. I looked at the watch and saw I already waited two hours but the bastard didn't came.

Of course he wouldn't. How much of an idiot I can be. I actually believed him. I scoffed. I stood and was about to walk away when I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw the old man.
"You're late." I stated.

"I know. I didn't thought you would come." He tilted his head like a bird.

"So ready to go?" I nodded.

He walked towards me flickered my forehead. I tried to scoot backwards but I lost my footing and fell. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact and opened my eyes. I saw was in some sort of black hole. I clutched the handle tightly and waited. I wasn't scared.

I don't know how long I was floating in this nothingness but then finally I saw a bright light and I fell.

I expect a rough landing but I landed on something soft and a small 'omph!' Came from below me. I looked down and saw a I was sitting on a person.

I shoot up and bowed my head in apologies but the person laid there motionless.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" I peeked through my bangs and saw the person more clearly. He has red hair. Holy shit! It's Sanosuke Harada. I just killed one of my favorite characters. What do I do!? Should I hide his body.

A groan snapped me out of my inner freak out.

I signed in relief as I saw the groan came from Sanosuke.

"You punk!" He lifted has head and glared at me furiously. I swallowed in fear and bowed my head in guilt.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry?! You almost broke my back and Where the hell did you even came from?!" He spat, "Now help me up!"

I quickly pulled myself together and gave him a hand. He took it and I pulled him up. He stood up. I was about to bolt then I felt him pulled my collar and lifted me in air.

"Did you think you could run?" I shook my head frantically.

"You are coming with me!" I felt him drag me.

"My bag!" I blurted. He stopped and lifted the bag on his other shoulder with his spear. I felt him drag me all the away and finally he stopped. I tried to see but his hand kept me still. We were in old Japanese compound. Must be Shinsengumi Quarters.

He stomped into the hallway and entered the room. He dropped me like a sack of potatoes. And threw my bag beside me too. I winced at the pain in my butt. I opened my eyes and saw the whole Shinsengumi sitting and staring at me.

"Who is that squirt, Sano?" A boy with a long ponytail, who I remembered is Toduo Heisuke, said.

"Hahaha. Look, whose talking!" Nagakura Shinpachi's laugh boomed. I saw keisuke Sannan and Hijikata Toshizo blanched at their antics.

Hijikata turned to Sanosuke, "Who is he?"

"That punk fell on me when I was returning from the patrol!" He growled, glaring at me.

"Fell on you?" Hijikata's eye twitched in irritation, "You brought a stranger, who could be a spy, in the headquarters of Shinsengumi because 'he fell on you'! Are you dumb!?"

Sanosuke now had 'uh-oh' written all over his face.

"What's the big deal? Just kill him and get over it." Souji smirked dangerously his hand grabbing his sword.

"Wait, Toshi." Isami Kondou stood up and walked over me. He sat down in front of me.

"Who are you?" He asked in a gentle tone as if talking to a scared kid.

"Mio. I'm sorry! I didn't meant to fall on him. It was totally unintentional and I'm not a Spy either!" I rambled on. But then I felt a hand pat my head.

I looked at him with shocked eyes, "It's alright. Everyone makes mistake." He smiled, "Do you have anywhere to go?" I shook my head 'no'.

"Ah! Then you can stay with us!" He beamed.

"Kondo-san, you can't just invite anyone to live with us." Hijikata nagged. I swear, he is my least favorite character.

"Ma..ma... Toshi, don't worry. He is just a kid." I'm 18, thank you very much.

"Still-" "it's decided. You can stay with us!" Kondo-san cut grandma Hijikata.

Well, it went well than I thought.
