A different beat

*Normal P.O.V*

It was a fine afternoon in Edo, and the shinsengumi's 1st division captain, Okita Sougo, was forced out from his 'peaceful' sleep to buy a dozen of cakes for his commander, Kondo Isao and despised Vice commander, Hijikata Toshirou… While cursing along his way muttering some evil plans he'll soon do to his superior, he came across a shop that is new to his eyes,

"Potion shop..?" He raised an eyebrow,

"Young man…"

An old woman called out as she saw Okita paces back and forth in front of her shop,

"Do you have someone you dislike-?"

The old woman was cut off when Sougo showed a smug smirk,

"Nhe, Obaa-san, do you have any potions there that could kill someone I despise?" he asked,

The old woman stared at him for a couple of minutes then laughed,

"Of course, Of course I do, come in, Come in…"

She gestured, Sougo shrugged but came in the shop,

"Just wait there for a second; I'm just going to search for it…"

"Yeah, Yeah, just make it quick Baa-san…"

Sougo yawned as his eyes traveled around the shop,

"You sure got some weird stuffs here ain't ya Granny?"

He scratched his nape while his eyes deadpanned,

"Potions come in different colors, state and even forms, that explains why they're weird looking, But I highly demand that my potions were guaranteed to work successfully…"

"Hmm? Whatever…" he sat on the wooden chair just in front of the old woman's desk,

"What kind of way would you possibly want that person to die?"

Sougo was deep in his reverence after he heard her question; he stopped midway when he was complete in his thoughts,

"Let him choke for about 5 minutes, get hit by a lightning 4 times, run over by a truck 3 times, roll over the ground 2 times and beg to me for one last time."

The Old woman stared at him for a minute,

"….You really despise that person ain't you?"

He smirked and put his hands on the back of his neck, and shrugged,

"Well, Okay just give me a half an hour…"

And with that the lady disappeared on the curtains while Sougo was left there gazing at the skyscraper on the window of the little shop, whispering the words:

Sayonara, Hijikata-san…

With a triumphant grin on his lips,

*After 30 minutes and so*

"Oi! Young lad wake up!" The old lady shouted as she shakes Sougo,

"Mhhm? Huh?" Sougo replied with half lidded eyes,

"Tsk! Tsk!, Here…" The old woman handed the potion inside a vial,

"Gee, does this potion really works Obaa-san?" he yawned,

"Of course it does!"

Sougo looked at her, he opened the vial and reached it on the shop owner,

"…Would you try it the, Obaa-san?" he smirked, receiving a hit on the head by the old lady,

"Are you planning to kill me?" she exclaimed,

"I was just joking, ow…" Okita said while rubbing his bump, "So how much was it cost Granny?"

"That'll be 334 yen all in all."

"334 Yen? That's quite a price for a potion you have there Obaa san *sigh*"

Okita gave in and handed down the money,

"Thanks fot this Granny, see you later…"

"Goodluck to you Young lad!" the old lady waved,

"If this doesn't work out right Baa-san… I'll seriously hunt you down…" Sougo smiled before he left,

"That kid's crazy…"

While arranging the ingredients the old lady had notice something on her table,

"Hmmm? Ara? what's this?"

Her eyes widened when she recognized the foreign ingredient and quickly checked her potion book,

"…."

A round of silence filled the open air as she stood there frozen,

"Oooppps…."

She quickly packed her stuffs and rushed away from the shop,

Meanwhile…

"Does this potion really works?" Sougo muttered as he eyed the vial,

When a familiar figure caught his very eyes, it was his rival looking rather pale as she waddles with her parasol resting on her shoulders,

"If it isn't the idiotic China girl…"

He taunted, forming another lope-sided smile on his lips,

Teasing her was a habit of his, that's why seeing her in constant pain brings him pleasure, a born sadist inside, a benevolent looking bastard outside…

"Shut up you sick S! If I wasn't this tired because of working nonstop since yesterday;, I've definitely kick your sorry ass right now!" Kagura glared, "I'm thirsty, Give me a drink!"

"What do you think am I? Your babysitter? Dream on Stupid China!" he chuckled, seeing how Kagura arched her eyebrows,

"You rotten piece of sh-!"

Kagura didn't finish what she was saying when she saw the vial on Sougo's hand, she swiftly reached it but was stopped when Sougo raised his hand, being shorter than him, Kagura can't help but whine as she extends her arm,

"Spare me some sadist!" she exclaimed,

"Are you really dumb? This isn't for you, you idiot!" Sougo shouted back,

"Grrr!"

Kagura bit her rival's hand that was blocking her face and kick his abdomen, Sougo remained stoic ignoring the pain for a while as he gasped for air,

Kagura got down on her knees and kick Sougo's foot resulting to Sougo losing his balance and landed down the ground letting go of the vial which Kagura immediately picked up and didn't waste any second as she drank it right away,

"YOU F*CKIN IDIOT THAT'S-!"

Sougo's eyes got widened when Kagura kneels down the ground coughing with her face turning violet as she held her neck, her coughing lasted about 5 times, the sky became dark and a series of lightning struck Kagura,

With all the commotion going on, Sougo remembered his words:

"Let him choke for about 5 minutes, get hit by a lightning 4 times, run over by a truck 3 times, roll over the ground 2 times and beg to me for one last time."

He desperately searched for the truck and unsheathed his sword,

"This dumb woman! Ugh, where's that freakin truck?" he looked around, hoping he'll stop the phenomena happening to his rival,

When he averted his eyes, he heard a 'honk'; He quickly faced Kagura,

A toy truck was hitting her head for three times,

"That's… the… truck..?"

He murmured,

He came back to his senses when Kagura rolled over the ground for two times and after that she crawled through Sougo extending her palm, begging for help,

"Help… sadist!" She said before she finally collapsed,

Sougo remained there standing, looking at his rival's 'dead' body,

"T-T-T-That…. That potion really works?!" he shouted as he came close to Kagura and tilted her face facing his way,

"O-Oi, C-China?"

He stuttered,

"You're alive right? Haha?"

5 minutes have passed, but still no sign of pulse and breathing,

"OI! WAKE UP!" Sougo continuously slap Kagura's cheeks,

D-D-Did she seriously died?!

He was sucked into his delusions when Kagura's fingers twitched,

Sougo's eyes gets big when Kagura's cerulean orbs meets his crimson ones,

"You're… alive…?"

He deadpanned,

What a waste…

He sighed letting go of Kagura's head making it bumped unto the ground, he stood up and was about to leave when Kagura spoke,

"Ouch, that hurts Sou-chan…"

Sougo felt chills down unto his spine when he heard her say that name,

WTF? Sou-chan!?

He raised an eyebrow; he got completely insane when Kagura's arms snaked around his waist,

"I've been captured by your tantalizing eyes and physiques, don't live me alone my *Ouji..."

Kagura's teary half lidded eyes look at him,

"W-What the heck do you think you're doing China? Ouji!? I'm not your f*ckin prince! Let go of me!" He tried to sound calm as sweat flows down his forehead,

Kagura's hand runs up to his chest and the other to his waist, while her lips reached unto his ear,

"I'm completely yours now Sou-chan…"
