EDIT: This chapter needed some more editing, so I've fixed that. Nothing has changed in this chapter, however I rewrote the ending of chapter two, if you want to check it out. ;)

Captivated

The unthinkable had happened.

She, the strongest smartest, and most talented of the Yorozuya, had been captured and dragged off to the enemies strong hold. Though she was still trying to figure out who these enemies were and what in the universe they wanted. And also, this place wasn't much of a strong hold. It was a restaurant, for Pete's sake! She did have to give them points for originality mind you. She had been expecting an old warehouse. But that is where their brains capability stopped. The place they had taken for their own was a lovely old restaurant named The Wild Rose, a fairly popular spot in Edo. They had charged right in, guns and other weapons in hand and taken over, locking the manager up in his office and herding the costumiers into the kitchen, seemingly satisfied that they would remain undiscovered. Kagura was of the opinion that it was only a matter of time until someone became suspicious of the broken windows and cracked OPEN sign, and put two and three together. She wasn't about to tell them that though.

The redhead was distracted from her thoughts when a tall woman in a gaudy kimono and far to much make up stepped in front of her. Her black hair was done up in an elaborate fashion, leaving only her bangs to frame her eyes which were currently filled with contempt and scorn as she looked down on her hostage who had been tied to the fridge with an impressive set of chains. "Well, girl? Still unable to comprehend that your strength was no match for ours? The ease in which we captured you was truly pathetic. I thought you would have had more fight in you."

"What strength? You poisoned my sukonbu! You conniving scum, you're lower then the bottom of the sea!" Kagura raged, twisting in an attempt to free herself of the chains and wring the woman's neck.

The woman merely wave off her shouts with a perfectly manicured hand. "Please, such small details hardly matter. We have you now, and there is nothing you can do about it. You might as well give in to despair."

Kagura spat in her face.

The resounding shriek was the best sound she'd heard all day. "You brat! How dare you! Just you wait, I'm gonna turn you into mince meat!"

Kagura snorted in a very unladylike manner. "I'd like to see you try."

The woman seethed in fury at the alien girl who wasn't acting at all like a hostage was supposed to. "I'll do more then that. Once he shows up I'm going to carve you out right before his eyes, and he will be unable to do anything but watch and fall to the depth of despair!"

"Oh, so you do have a goal other then to stand there and bore me to death with your shrieking about despair. Who are you trying to trap?

Gin-chan?" Kagura watched in satisfaction as the lady grit her teeth.

"Fool. I could care less about that idiot." The insane gleam had re-entered her eyes. "I am after the one most precious to you. Your boyfriend Okita Sougo."

A deathly silence filled the room as she waited with glee for the girl's reaction. Said girl blinked and opened her mouth. "Who's that?"

The poor revenge filled woman stared dumbfounded. Her gang of oversized men stared with her. It took their boss a good full minute to regain her speech. "What do you mean, who is that?!" She spluttered. "It's Okita Sougo of the Shinsengumi!"

"Shinsengumi…" Kagura mused. "You mean the Sadist? Now that I think about it I've heard someone call him that before…..Wait, who's boyfriend?!"

"Enough of this foolishness! You know very well who I am talking about. We have been watching him for weeks now." She smiled, baring her straight white teeth at Kagura. "We thought at first to take a friend, but then fate lead us to you, his little girlfriend.-"

Kagura gaged.

"He spends more time with you then any of his friends. It was obvious who was more important to him. And it is so very believable! A little hellion like you is the perfect match for him, the bastard."

Kagura tried not to throw up. "The only thing you got right was the bastard part-"

But her captor ignored her. "-So we moved our sights to you. Watching all of your dates and sweet nothings until we had you pegged.

Once he discovers you are gone he will be frantic! He will play right into our hands. And all you can do is watch!" The annoying woman finally stopped and gave the Yato an expectant look.

Kagura tilted her head to the side and put on her sweetest smile. "You poor, poor thing. You must have had such a traumatic childhood."

She cooed. "To have lost your mind at such a young age. How tragic. You should really try talking about it. You know as a Yorozuya I can be a very good listener when-"

The woman shrieked in indignation and threw herself at the tiny prisoner, intent on slapping some manners into her. A kerfuffle of hair-pulling, biting, kicking and screaming followed, with Kagura fairing surprisingly well despite being bound to a fridge. But before she could bite the infuriating woman's fingers off, they were interrupted by something which sounded suspiciously like the front of the restaurant being destroyed; with enough force to make the rest of the building shake. The evil sukonbu poisoning woman stumbled out of biting range, shouting orders at her minions. They rushed to obey, but were cut off by the door being knocked off it's hinges.

And lo and behold, there stood Okita Sougo, bazooka in hand and Shinsengumi at his back. His lips curved into an angelic smile. "Found you."

And all hell broke loose. The Shinsengumi threw themselves at the gang and the gang hid behind the forgotten costumers. The evil leader lady proved to have quite nimble fingers as she unwound Kagura's chains from the fridge, (shame she didn't take them completely off,) and pulled her kicking and screaming out of the room. She staggered up the stairs to the second floor and Kagura had to wonder how her day had turned into such a mess. Not to say her days were usually normal, but hey! She had just as much right to complain as the next girl!

The Evil Leader Lady, (as Kagura had dubbed her,) reached the top of the flight of stairs and yanked her to a conveniently placed balcony. She shot the girl a victorious look. "What did I tell you brat, he came like a fly to honey. And it's all because of you."

Kagura stuck her tongue out at her. "You have mental issues lady! He's just here to beat people up and say it was for a good cause!"

"Shut up brat." The woman grabbed a megaphone sitting beside her and fiddled with the power button. The redhead was starting to wonder if even the hasty kitchen escape had been planed. With a triumphant cry, The Evil Leader Lady got her megaphone to work. Clearing her throat, she brought the device to her lips. "Okita Sougo, step outside if you want to see your little girlfriend again."

"I'm telling ya, I'm not the Sadist's anything!

"Okita-san!" One of his underlings shouted over the cacophony, while attempting to make his ways through chaos. "Okita-san, there's someone on the balcony demanding you come out! They said something about a girlfriend…." The man paused, then continued in a puzzled voice. "I didn't know you had a girlfriend sir."

Okita shrugged. "It's the first I've heard of it. I'd better go see who the lucky girl is, hmm?" He shouldered his bazooka and strode back through The Wild Rose, ignoring the groaning bodies he stepped over on his way out.

"I said; Okita Sougo, step outside if-"

"I heard you already, you noisy woman." He shouted as he marched over what was left of the shop's front door. Looking up he saw that there were indeed two people standing on the balcony above him. One was the obnoxious woman who had been yelling, ( she must have stollen the megaphone idea from him, ) and the other- "China, what are you doing there?"

"What does it look like, you idiot?!"

The Obnoxious Woman cut off any further conversation. "I knew you would come Okita! You had no choice after all! The letter I left you must have struck fear into your heart!"

"Oh, that? I burned it."

"You what?!"

Okita watched with amusement as The Obnoxious Woman floundered about, China's shouts not helping the situation at all. Composing herself, the woman straightened and pulled a gun from her kimono. "Well it doesn't matter. If you don't want this girl to-"

Okita took aim and fired.

Of course he shot that thing before The Evil Leader Lady was even finished talking! And now she was plummeting through the air as the second level exploded. When she got her hands on him, she was gonna feed him to Sadaharu! Her beautiful plans of vengeance were interrupted by not crashing into the ground. "You alive, China?"

And of course he just had to catch her, didn't he? She cracked her eyes open to glower at him. "Let me go of me you Super Sadist! What is this, a shoujo manga?"

"That's impossible with you as the protagonist, China girl."

Kagura tried to kick him and failed. "Shut up Sadist! And get these chains off of me!"

When Okita grinned his sadistic nature clearly shown through. "And why on earth would I do that?"

"Oh, ha ha, genius."

Just then a shrieking voice was heard from the rubble. The Evil Leader Lady stood on what was left of the roof, her once perfect hair singe, and her cloths black. "Don't you think this is over Okita, I'll-!"

The bazooka of boom destroyed the rest of the roof.

"Oops."

"Won't you get in trouble for that? And what did that lady want anyway?"

Okita shrugged. "No idea."

"Well that's great. Can you let me go now?"

The Shinsengumi Captain smiled innocently. "What are you talking about China? As a victim in this case I need to take you back to headquarters for questioning."

Kagura groaned. Straight into the Shinsengumi Officer's clutches. Maybe she could steal a leaf from The Evil Leader Lady's book and poison his food?

A/N: Well, there you have it. I am considering making this a two-shot; maybe Captivated from Okita's perspective?

Let me know what you think and if you would like another chapter!
