Hey guys. New Okikagu fic for you guys! Shit, I'm supposed to be studying for my exams tomorrow. What have I done! But anyway, I can never deny my inspiration, it's always been this way. This isn't going to be a oneshot! After the success (i like to think) of my other OkiKagu multi-chapter fic, Phases In Love, I thought i'd try to write another one. This is the same theme I used for my GinHiji Lies the Heart Tell, because I thought it's an awesome theme.

Just a one word stimulation as my title, and I'll write a drabble around 800-1000 words. I'm open to requests (: Give me an emotion, doesn't have to be stereotyped ones, just something that someone will be able to make you feel. even things like 'warmth' or 'confusion' is okay. Hope you guys like it!

Hatred

She had never hated anyone more.

The sight of the sandy haired, grinning boy standing in front of her annoyed Kagura so much she found it hard to breathe. It wasn't his smirk that got on her nerves. No of course, it also wasn't the fact that he looked hot that she felt murderous at the aspect of laying her eyes on him.

It was the fact that he lived.

His mere existence bothered her so much she felt like wiping the self-confident smile off his perfect face and destroying every bit of Okita Sougo.

'What's wrong, China?' Sougo raised his eyebrow as he watched Kagura repeatedly bang her head against the tree trunk. 'Have you finally snapped and gone mad? You're scaring the little children— I could arrest you for violating public peace.'

'Shove off, Sadist,' Kagura snarled, pointing her purple parasol at him. 'All I ever wanted was to take a peaceful walk in the park, and munch on some sukonbu, but you just had to turn up and piss me off.'

'Huh?' Sougo feigned hurt. 'What have I ever done to piss you off? I'm bringing you to the headquarters for hurting an innocent police officer's feelings.'

His voice pisses me off.

'Just shut up and leave me alone, bastard.'

'We're on to name calling now, aren't we?'

It took every ounce of self control not to slam her parasol over Sougo's head and leave him to die in the sandpit. Now that I remember, Gin-chan said I should ignore him the next time he tries to irritate me.

Gintoki had carefully sat Kagura down and explained to her how she could keep her cool by ignoring 'Souichirou-kun' the next time he attempted to upset the Yato's temper after having to pay for the mess made of the park after an argument between the Shinsengumi First Division captain and an enraged Kagura went out of control.

'Gin-san isn't made of money, you know,' Gintoki had grumbled, while Shinpachi yelled 'that's what you're worried about!' in the background.

Kagura faced away from Sougo, clenching her fists so hard they trembled. 'I'm going home. So, you know, perverted old men won't "do stuff" to me.'

'Did Danna tell you that?' there was a hint of amusement in Sougo's voice, Kagura noted.

'Yeah, he did. He said a cute girl like me should be careful when I'm out walking alone.' Hah. Take that.

'Are you kidding me? Even perverted old men have better taste than… than… you.'

Kagura's control snapped. 'THE SHIT, SADIST! I am trying to be nice and polite here!'

'Oh please, save your efforts. It doesn't suit you.'

'I don't care but you better apologize,' Kagura hissed.

'Apologize for what? Telling you the truth?'

'For insulting me!'

'That was no insult, and I'm not apologizing for telling you the truth.'

Calm down, Kagura. He must be too entranced by my beauty, so he's spitting out rubbish. Gin-chan said I'm cute. I need to calm down.

'Are your really a girl?'

Screw it. I'm cracking his goddamned skull open.

Kagura raised her parasol and with a battle cry, brought it down hard towards Sougo's head. The slightly surprised but still composed captain raised his katana to block the supposedly fatal blow.

'Oi oi, China,' Sougo flung her parasol away from him. 'What's your problem, picking a fight in broad daylight, and with a police officer. That's a crime.'

'Then isn't it a crime for police officers to disrupt the citizens' peace?'

'I was merely having a friendly conversation with you,' Sougo countered smoothly. 'We need to ensure that the human citizens are not having any problems in Edo, especially with stowaway aliens.'

'I am now a perfectly legal citizen! I even have a job!'

'Odd jobs worker,' Sougo stressed. 'It's not even a proper job.'

'Without Gin-chan, Shinpachi and me, the Shinsengumi would be a total failure.'

'Not if they have me.'

With every sentence spoken, another blow was exchanged.

'You?' Kagura scoffed, trying a roundhouse kick which Sougo avoided and in turn caught her ankle in midair. 'Damn.'

Kagura waited for her body to be slammed into the ground, instinctively shutting her eyes as tightly as they would go. Bye, Gin-chan, Shinpachi, Ane-go, Sadaharu… Kagura loves you all…

'Oi China,' Sougo's lazy voice drawled right next to her ear. He was still holding her leg in the air, and she was starting to lose balance. With a helpless flail of her arms, she topped over and fell on her back with an 'oomph'.

Sougo crouched down beside Kagura and brought his face close to hers. 'What were you doing, closing your eyes during a fight?'

'Eh?' Kagura's face heated up. Too close. 'Uhm, I thought you were going to bash me in so I didn't want to see it happen.'

'What if it wasn't me? You would have died,' Sougo deadpanned.

A streak of irritation ignited Kagura's temper. 'So? What about me dying?'

'Then you'd make the people who care about you all sad and they'll start mourning, and then you'll be increasing the workload of us Shinsengumi because we'll have to patrol your funeral.' His face was neutral, but there was something else brooding in his crimson eyes.

'Doesn't matter. No one would care.'

'They would.'

'Then who?' Kagura retorted.

'Danna, the Megane, your big alien monster dog,' Sougo listed.

Kagura just stared at him and flicked her eyes away from his face. It seems like he's for once not trying to make me feel completely worthless.

'…me.'

Kagura's attention immediately returned to Sougo. 'What?'

'I said, me.'

'You what?'

'I would care.'

There was a long stretch of awkward silence. Then Kagura forced a laugh to surface from her lips. 'Well what in the world—'

She never finished her sentence because a pair of warm lips was gently pressed to hers. As her face rapidly reddened and her breathing started to fail her, she could feel her heartbeat accelerating at full speed.

Sougo pulled back and threw her a careless, heart stopping smirk. 'You could have at least closed your eyes, China.' He stood up, sheathed his katana, have her a last glance and stalked away in the direction of Shinsengumi.

Kagura sprang up from the ground, her hand covering her mouth, her face the brightest shade of scarlet.

As Sougo got further away from the park, he heard a shout.

'…you bloody, idiotic bastard!'

He just snorted and continued walking.

She had never hated anyone more.
