Author's Note: First time writing a fanfic in a long time in a new fandom. Plus, I'm drunk, so don't expect anything correct.
Probably very OOC.
The majority of these challenges will be short and I don't know how much each of the fics will be related. But, I will put some type of note in the beginning. Thoughts, comments, flames, critiques are welcome.
This takes place when Kagura is 19 and Sogo is 23, around the time the last movie was set in and update after the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc.
The rolls of thunder clashed from one part of the sky, following a heavy downpour.
Both stubborn wanderers, exchanging blows just for the mere fact both were walking the same route.
Kagura and Sougo Okita called it quits once both were soaked head to toe from the rain, seeking shelter nearby an abandoned house.
The rivals sat across the irori1, watching the fire grow warming the area surrounding them.
The flaxen haired samurai stood up and began to untie his hakama.
"W-What are you doing?!" Kagura exclaimed, watching him remove articles of clothing little by little. Her face turned bright red seeing her longtime opponent down to his S patterned boxers.
"I'm not catching a cold because of you." Sougo replied. He wrung out his clothing, "You'll get sick too if you don't get out of those wet clothes."
"As if I will strip down for you, pervert."
"Do what you like." He said in his deadpan voice.
Kagura hated to admit it, he was right. "Turn around." She demanded.
"You have nothing special I haven't seen before." He snickered, sitting in front of the fire again.
The Yato no choice and began to remove her wet clothes.
She had a hard time removing her dress as clung to her skin. When it finally came off, she threw it next to her. She sat back down in her bra and panties looking at the crackling fire.
Both sat there looking at the fire in silence.
Kagura's eyes could not help to wonder to the samurai's chest. She was always intrigued with others' scars, as she was never able get battle marks with her healing abilities.
"What are you looking at?" Sougo broke her stare.
"N-Nothing… I just was admiring your scars." Looking away from him.
Sougo walked over to her side sat next to her addressing a particular scar.
He pointed to his inner right ankle, "You see this?"
The red head looked at the starburst shaped scar. "It's from you, remember?"
It didn't register in her head at that second, but all the memories came flooding back. Kagura smiled, "You deserved it."
She turned to face him, pointing to the deep scar on his right shoulder. "What about this one?" She questioned.
Sougo placed his left hand on the scar, "…That damn Crow." Fidgeting to show his back to her, touching just the tip of a deep scar from the left to the right shoulder. "This too."
Kagura felt compelled to touch such tissue. It was shallow, lighter than his normal skin color. She lightly traced it with her fingertips. Sougo instinctively straightened his back to her touch.
He raised both his own arms and led her left arm to his heart. She felt the raised scar. "A heinous space pirate got me here."
Her face saddened, realizing her own brother did this to someone like him, feeling guilty. Another toy Kamui just wanted to play with.
She placed her side of the cheek on his back, embracing him. The samurai was unsure how to respond.
He felt warm tears fall on his back.
Sougo placed his hand over Kagura's, hearing a soft sob behind him. The trail of wetness turning cold as it ran down his back.
