Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Chapter one

Kagura hates Okita Sougo.

That guy is a lazy piece of trash who does nothing but steal tax money (according to her knowledgeable guardian, Gin-chan). He is also a sadistic bastard who makes girls into his slaves and always teases her about being an illegal immigrant. Honestly, except for his bi-Shoen face, Kagura found everything else about him detestable.

Kagura hates Kamui.

Her older brother is a psychopath who left her all alone back at her home planet when their mother died. He is the reason why she had to come to Earth. Because of him, she was tricked into working full time with a cheap pay. Her employer is a good-for-nothing perm head (of course, he's the same person she mentioned before, Gin-chan) who never pays her salary. Child labour, she'd like to call it. And even after she'd found her non-blood related family here on Earth, she is still penniless while Kamui gets to shower in money, being a big shot space pirate and all.

Simply put, she despite both Okita and Kamui.

Yet, here she is, hiding behind the bushes with Kamui on her left and Okita on her right. It is definitely an odd situation for all three of them.

For Kagura, because she hates them both.

For Okita, because this girl is his rival and the other guy is well known terrorist.

For Kamui, because he misunderstood that Okita was dating his sister and it gives him a weird feeling.

Kagura shifted uneasily behind the thick bushes. Kamui and Okita have been glaring at each other over her head for quite some time now, and she is feeling really uncomfortable about being in the middle of their mental sadist fight. If possible, by all means, she'd get up and just walk to the dango store across street right now.

But she can't.

They are supposed to be hiding out right now, waiting for their targets to appear.

Kagura rolled her sapphire blue eyes and look up at the cloudy sky, letting her mind wanders off somewhere faraway from these two creatures who just kept on glaring and snarling at each other.

Why am I even here?

She sighed.

Well, it all started 3 weeks ago…
