Never Gone
Chapter One: You Found Me
Okita, Saito, and Chizuru went out for their daily patrol. As they were walking Chizuru tripped and Okita caught her, "You should be more careful, we wouldn't want our dear little princess to get hurt now would we?" he said with his typical smile.
When Chizuru got her balance back she nodded as she began to walk. They heard people yelling and then an old man ran up to them, "Shinsengumi, they….." he said frantically, "those men took a young lady into that warehouse!" he shouted at Saito, "please, help her!" he shouted as Saito pushed through the crowd with his men following close behind him.
"Saito are you sure about this?" he heard Okita ask behind him.
Saito ignored him as he knocked on the door, "We are the Shinsengumi, open this door or we will take drastic measures." he shouted as the door made a pound.
Saito looked at Okita, who nodded as he brought people to the back. Saito gestured a man to kick the door down, as he did they heard men shout angrily. After his men entered the front, Okita's men entered the back and surrounded all the men who were inside.
The site was truly horrible, there were women who looked as though they were forced to do something they didn't want to. There were a few who looked as though they had been beaten and then some who didn't look like they were healthy.
Saito looked around and noticed a hallway, he looked at it carefully. There stood a man who looked frightened, at that moment he was just exiting a room and then tried to make a run for it. Before he could Saito had already knocked him unconscious.
He walked down the hall, and found the room that man had just exited out of. He cautiously opened the door, and saw a woman who was unconscious. She was tied up and looked at those she had been beaten but she didn't look as bad as she should have. Her brown hair ran along her body until it reached her lower back. She looked as though she was objecting to what the man wanted and was beaten for it.
He walked closer to her, and when he tried to touch her, her eyes opened wide and she quickly pulled away. "Its alright, I won't hurt you." he said trying to get closer to her.
"How many times do you think I've heard that?" she said as she stared at him, he saw her emerald eyes. She looked at him, with strong yet frightened eyes. He tried to get a hold of her arm, but she still pulled away. She tried to stand but she quickly fell, "Oh, so you found a little missy." they heard someone say, they turned to see Okita standing at the door, with his arms crossed.
"Okita, have you checked all the men?" Saito asked as he felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned to see the woman unconscious and leaning on him.
"Oh, now isn't that sweet?" Okita asked as Chizuru entered the room. "Be careful Chizuru, we just interrupted something." Okita said with a smile.
"Chizuru, come check her wounds." Saito ordered the woman still leaning on his shoulder.
"Yes." she answered and hurried towards him. She looked shocked as she quickly looked over the woman's body.
"Are the wounds severe?" Saito asked looking at her.
"There aren't any." Chizuru answered in a stunned voice. They all looked at the woman who was sleeping and then Chizuru showed them her shoulder which had blood all over it but when they looked closely there was no wound.
"Interesting." Okita said in a fascinated tone.
"We should tell Hijikata-san about this." Chizuru said as she looked at the unnamed woman, "Who is she?" she asked.
Saito stood as he asked himself the same question. He quickly exited and made his way back to the headquarters. He had a bunch of questions that needed answering but he'd have to wait to get each one answered.
