October 1866, a few new people had joined the Shinsengumi during the summer. Among them was Kazue Souma and Risaburo Nomura, they are to became Kondou’s pages. Another young man had also joined, Tetsunosuke Ichimura, who has become Hijikata’s page. Along him was Tatsunosuke, his older brother. The brothers were both taken in, though with how young Tetsunosuke was, there was a bit of resistance until Tatsunosuke convinced Kondou and Hijikata.

Chizuru was to be in charge of teaching them how to do their job, being she’s Haruka’s page. Of course, none them knew she was a woman as her pretending to be a male.

“Yukimura-senpai?” Souma said. “Is this tea alright?”

“Ah, well..It might be a bit too hot.” Chizuru said.

“Oh. I guess it is hot today..” Souma looked down at the tea.

“So what do we do? Water it down? ” Nomura asked.

"I-It will lose flavor that way, Nomura.." Chizuru pointed out

"Ah, right..." Nomura tilted his head back thinking.

“What about cooling it down with well water?” Tetsunosuke said.

“Oh! That’s smart!” Nomura looked at the younger boy in delight.

“Ah! Wait!” Chizuru said. “It doesn't have to be that cold, just a little warmer than room temperature.”

“Oh, yeah, you’re right. Hmm…” Tetsunosuke crossed his arms to think.

That’s when they heard footsteps. “I see we have new members.” The four of them turned to see Haruka.

“Haruka-san! You’re back!” Chizuru said. “Did things go well?”

Haruka sighed. “It bared no fruit, I’m afraid. I thought it was worth the trip but it seems it really was too good to be true. Sorry, Chizuru.”

“Oh..I see.” Chizuru then put her hands together. “Ah, I should introduce you!” At each them, Chizuru introduced the boys to Haruka. “These are new pages. Kazue Souma, Risaburo Nomura, and Tetsunosuke Ichimura. Souma and Nomura are Kondo-San’s page. Tetsunksuke is Hijikata’s.”

Haruka put a hand on her hip. “Oh? Didn’t think Hijikata would take a page for himself.” She then smiled at the three. “I’m Haruka Shinomi. And Chizuru is my page.”

“Sorry but I wasn’t aware the Shinsengumi let women joined.” Souma said.

“Yeah, thought it was just men.” Nomura said.

“I’m not part of the Shinsengumi. I’m an Okuzume working with them.”

“O-Okuzume!” Nomura said.

“Shinomi…” Tetsunosuke thought for a second. “Ah! The Icy Okuzume!? Then you are Shinomi-sama!” The three boys then stepped back.

Haruka caught on to the young boys words and kept them for later. “No need to be so formal.”

“W-We don’t?” Souma asked.

Haruka shook her head. “No. Not at all.” She then looked at Chizuru. “Did Shigeru give you any trouble?”

“Not at all.”

“Wait..that baby is yours?” Nomura blinked at Haruka.

Haruka just nodded her head. “He is. I’m married to the 10th division captain, Sanosuke Harada.”

“This…is a lot of information to take in.” Souma said.

Haruka chuckled. "Well, you'll get used to it. Along with other surprises the Shinsengumi can come up with.... Anyway, Chizuru, how do you think their doing?"

Chizuru smiled. "They're eager to learn and get along well. I've been teaching them what I know, like serving tea and how to attend to Hijikata-san and Kondo-san."

"That's good." Haruka said. "Guess you're actually a good teacher. And for you three," she turned to Souma, Nomura, and Tetsunosuke, "I'm available for advice if Chizuru can't help you with something."

"Thank you, Haruka-senpai," Souma said, expressing gratitude.

Haruka nodded. "Alright, I'll let you continue what you were doing." She then walked away, off to find her husband and son. But when she found a moment, she was able to pull Tetsunosuke alone in a room.

“Tetsunosuke…Why did you call me Shinomi-sama?”

“B-Because the Shinomi clan protects us..”

“Who told you this? And what do you mean by us?”

Tetaunosuke looked down. “My father told me that we could rely on the Shinomi clan if we ever ran into one. Tatsunosuke and I are..well..”

“Ichimura…You were a small demon clan right?”

Tetsunosuke nodded his head. “We were..basically ran out of our home by humans. And not a lot of us found a place to live. My older brother and I are the only ones left.”

Haruka sighed. “Ah. I guess I need to update that...Tetsu-kun..If you want to call me Shinomi-sama, it’s okay. But do not reveal what you are, okay? The only people who now about demons at the moment are myself, Miko, Shota, and My husband, Harada.”

“Not even Hijikata-san knows?”

“No. There may be a time where that comes but not soon. If anything, I will reveal it when the time is right. Understood?”

Tetsunosuke nodded his head. "T-Thank you, Haruka-sama." "Thank me?" "Yeah. Tatsu-nii and I have a home again. Even if it is with the Shinsengumi, we feel we belong. And with you here, it feels even better! We owe you!"

Haruka gave a soft smile. "Just don't get in trouble, Tetsu-kun. Tell you're brother the same thing I just told you, Okay?" Tetsunosuke just nodded his head gratefully.

Very random headcanon, I like to think that in his early Shinsengumi days Tetsunosuke was refered as "the pup" of the Wolves of Mibu. Yet, as he grew up and became stronger and shown his ability in battle (could be during the Boshin War) he was nicknamed "the red wolf of the Shinsengumi" because his red hair.

Ok the other one's looking a little too decisive so only vote on this one if you know what a wakashuu is/ understand the cultural reasons why a samurai and his page might get frisky

(Again, speaking strictly about the historical figures)

As I previously stated, I can't unsee the images of Yamamoto Yae running around in a single loincloth like a female counterpart of Harada Sanosuke but at least there are a decent amount of happy moments for Saya and Tetsu!! (Too bad they get some serious reality check at the end of volume 17 lol)

Here’s the original listing for this artwork, that I’ve since cleaned up.  It looks to be promo art for the first movie--but all I can think is “what if we had a happy modern PMK AU?” The official Twitter account has tweeted out other modern AU images before, and now I want a whole spin-off series...
