In this story, Hijikata and Kagura live together in the same house, after a few years of being together, they have formed a strong bond and they deeply care for each other. Imagine that in this story, everyone looks like how they look in the time-arc, Kagura is beautiful, has long hair, Hijikata is "really" cool, and Okita has long hair in a ponytail. Characters like Kagura, Okita, and Hijikata sound more like themselves in the original Gintama series. (A little normally childish). (EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER ALREADY SO THERE WON'T BE "NEW" MEETINGS FULL OF MEANINGS)
OKITA DOESN'T KNOW THAT KAGURA AND HIJIKATA LIVE TOGETHER
On one sunny morning, Kagura and Hijikata walk side by side. It is Hijikata's day off so he decides to take a walk with Kagura.
"Hey. Toshi!" Kagura calls Hijikata in a mature, yet high-pitched voice.
"Oi, don't be so loud in public, you're not that far from me too!"
"Yes yes, but look. I kind of want some cotton candy. Can't we buy it?" Kagura glances at Hijikata.
"Not sukonbu? Fine, but don't eat so quick, you'll choke." Hijikata softly replies with a sigh.
"Oh yeah, and I think I'm the one paying. Hijikata adds.
"Spot on." Kagura blissfully chuckles with a smile.
After purchasing a stick of cotton candy, the two both decide to sit down on a bench conveniently near themselves.
"Oh yeah, I wasn't really paying attention, but what flavor is it?"
"Hmm... Try finding out." Kagura smirks with her long eyelashes swiftly floating from the wind making a beautiful scene.
"How would I found out? Do I just guess from the colour?" Although the colour of the cotton candy is so bland it's almost as it's fading away like a cloud, Hijikata realizes.
"Well... Actually! I got a good idea. You can try it if you want. Even though I know the flavour, it doesn't taste like it at all." Kagura takes the stick of cotton candy and lightly shoves it onto his face with a curious and innocent look.
While that scene continues, Okita recognizes two similar silhouettes sitting on a bench. He walks pass but then moves back again to check who they really are. Of course, it's Kagura and Hijikata. He then sees Kagura lending him a share of her cotton candy. Okita feels a weird ache in his heart.
Hijikata finally chooses to take a chomp on the cotton candy, after Kagura took a bite.
"Well, it's actually really good, although it needs some mayonnaise," Hijikata responds.
"Mayonnaise?! It doesn't need that Toshi! Now, guess the flavour." Kagura declares.
"Uh. It tastes kind of like... Blueberry."
...
A huge silence breaks out.
"Am I wrong?" Thinks Hijikata.
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" Kagura says urgently with a surprised and shocked tone.
"Maybe eating with mayonnaise the rest of your pitiful life gave you special senses! The cotton candy is blueberry-flavored but it doesn't taste like that even 1%! You're amazing Toshi!"
"Well, is that a compliment or insult?"
"You can think of it as the truth and a compliment!" Kagura replies with a smirk on her face.
"You smart child!" Hijikata glares and happily nudges Kagura's head.
"Haha! Stop! I'm not a child anymore huuh!" Kagura pinches Hijikata's cheeks with her two soft hands.
Hijikata slightly blushes but he nudges Kagura's head more to not show his expression.
"Hey! If you do that! I'll pinch your cheeks more!"
"Huh! Oh really?!"
They both laugh and smile together while fighting ferociously.
Meanwhile, Okita watches them.
"What the heck, don't they realize there are people watching them?!" Okita whispers angrily behind some bushes.
"People watching who?" Yamazaki comes out beside Okita hiding behind the same bushes.
...
"Nobody, Yamazaki," Okita responds glaring at him.
Yamazaki curiously looks in the direction Okita was looking in before he interrupted.
He sees two familiar people.
"Oh! Hijikata-san and Kagura-chan? They seem to be fighting! Are they a couple?!" Yamazaki makes use of his curiosity.
Sougo glares at Yamazaki. "No, they aren't. Why would they be."
Yamazaki wonders. He gets an idea that Okita likes Kagura. But that was just a thoughtless thought, as convincing as it seems.
Yamazaki still was "a bit curious" if Kagura and Hijikata were a couple, or at least had mutual feelings.
"Here, just take this bag and bring it to the Shinsengumi or something and leave." Okita flames up.
"Okay, it'll be at the Shinsengumi. Then... I'll leave now! See ya later Okita-san. Oh yeah, say hello to that couple for me!" Yamazaki runs as fast as lightning because he had a thought that Okita would beat him up or run after him.
He was right. Okita was about to run after him and literally kill him before he could see the rising sun of tomorrow. Luckily, Yamazaki ran fast enough and Okita got over it, but there was no doubt that he was still mad at the thought of "the couple".
Okita. had. just. about. enough. After seeing the two "flirty" couple fighting "ADORABLY," he decides to do some action of his own.
"Hey, idiots, you guys are childishly fighting in public. Don't you have any shame?" Okita smirks with his sadistic eyes.
Kagura notices him, "Shut up, sadist. It's Toshi's day off. BLEH."
"Haha, I will arrest you for hurting this police officer's feelings."
Okita actually felt a bit weird in the heart for what Kagura said.
"Hey, don't actually do it, Sougo," Hijikata says in a serious voice.
"Hmm... Should I?" Okita makes an evil chuckle while grabbing his handcuffs out of his pockets.
Okita grabs Kagura's arm firmly and he pulls. Okita forces Kagura to stand up from her seat, he opens his handcuffs and shuts one circle closed, he gets the other circle of the handcuffs, but before he shuts the circle through Kagura's hand...
Hijikata moves in to interfere in an attempt to stop the handcuffs, but...
Okita accidentally shuts the circle through Hijikata's hand.
"Oh." Everyone says it at the same time.
The situation seems that Kagura's right arm and Hijikata's left arm are stuck together by the handcuffs.
"SOUGO."
"SADIST."
"Wait, how will you guys sleep, and go to the washroom? Okita shamelessly speaks before he can get beat up.
"Actually, in the morning, we both went to the washroom because we knew we were going to have a walk," Kagura says with no shame.
Okita wondered why she knew that, but he didn't speak.
"But don't you have the key to it?" Hijikata asks and ignores what Kagura said.
"Nope. It's at the Shinsengumi. I gave it to Yamazaki, but he probably might forget where he put it." Okita happily smiles.
It's what he wanted, but he felt a bit of an ache in his heart with the thought of how Kagura and Hijikata would be like if they still were stuck together by the handcuffs. ESPECIALLY if they were still together by night... But he quickly shook off the thought and just convinced himself it was because they were the opposite sexes and something could happen... Although it still hurt in the heart anyway without Okita knowing why.
Kagura took a huge munch on the leftover cotton candy and started to speak.
"Well, if we can't get the key in time, we'll have to try to make this work."
By the time the three were talking, it was already night. They TOTALLY forgot about the time and decided to make a quick and easy plan.
"Toshi, let's go to the house, we can brush our teeth together fine, we don't have to go to the washroom, and we already ate," Kagura says with innocence.
"You're right, it'll be fine as long as we get the key tomorrow, in the afternoon at most. We'll probably have to sleep together." Hijikata responds with no reaction.
Okita glances at Kagura. She doesn't notice but Okita sees Kagura as a beautiful girl. When he first met her, he thought she was an annoying brat, but she was beautiful and somehow interesting to get along with. At this moment, Okita already knew, he just didn't want to admit it. He was in love with Kagura, but he didn't think it was a lasting crush, more like a temporary like, well, he was wrong.
Hijikata and Kagura forgot that Okita didn't know that they lived together. Well, it was a secret to everyone except for Kagura's family and the Yorozuya. They decided that they would tell the people who found out about their secret. But now, they made a decision to not tell Okita until he found out.
"Well, bye Sadist! Hopefully, you find the key" Kagura emphasizes.
"Yeah, see you later Sougo, find the key already." Hijikata follows.
They walk together side by side and move to where "they are going to live."
Okita doesn't understand, he gets a thought that the two are living together, but he destroys it in his mind. The way the two phrased what they would do while they were stuck with each other for a while, made Okita feel uneasy on how they would live together.
Author Note: How did you like the story so far. If you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, I wouldn't mind as long as they aren't rude. It'll be really fun to write this series, and also be sure to type in your thoughts so far throughout the story.
By the way, I like HijiKagu a lot but I like OkiKagu the same as well. I'd rather they all be in the same romance story because Okita gets jealous a lot and it's really interesting. Okita and Kagura were my first couple in Gintama that I shipped but after seeing a lot of fanfics and images of Hijikata and Kagura even though there was barely any screentime for them together, I started to ship them sometime. For some reason, I really like all the second male leads, but too bad they always get the second lead syndrome. ;-;
SUPPORT ME FURTHER INTO THE STORY! I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CHAPTERS BUT IT"LL BE LONG. THAT'S FOR SURE.
