Chapter 1 – Pride

Kagura was walking around the Kabuki District absentmindedly like she usually did, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Kids played and people ran their shops, every now and again she'd see a member of the Shinsengumi walk past on their patrols.

She made her way to the park, sitting on her regular bench and relaxing, her umbrella resting in her shoulder.

As she sat there she began to think, think about how long she's spent on earth, how great her life has been since coming to the planet.

It's amazing how fast four years can go by, Kagura, now eighteen, has grown into a rather beautiful young lady… if only her personality and habits matched it.

A few peaceful minutes passed as she stared at the leaves in the tree that loomed over her, small rays of light shimmering down giving a relaxing atmosphere.

This peacefulness was broken however when a certain Shinsengumi officer walked over "What are you doing China?" a condescending voice asked. Kagura ignored them, knowing that they'd just end up fighting each other.

"Oi I'm talking to you" they said with clear annoyance in their voice. Suddenly the bench Kagura was relaxing on was tipped backwards causing her to hit her head on the ground behind her "What the hell Sadist!" she yelled as she sprung up, umbrella ready to shoot.

Standing in front of Kagura with a sadistic smirk was Okita Sougo, the 1st division captain of the Shinsengumi and her rival, the closest she's ever came to beating him ended in a draw, right before he and his buddy's ran off to get stronger.

Kagura sighed and brushed the dirt off her dress before placing a hand on her hip "What's up your ass?" she asked with a glare and spat to the side. Sougo looked at her blankly "And here I thought a lady would be more respectful in the way she talks" he sighs while shaking his head.

Kagura made a grumbling noise "Oh yea? What would you know? All the girls you go out with are just masochists who do whatever you say" she mumbles just loud enough for him to hear "At least I can get someone, unlike you, you're just a china doll, a crazy gorilla woman" he comments as she grumbled again, this time cracking her knuckles "That's quite the mouth you've got on yourself sadist, maybe I should tear it off!" she yelled as she ran at him, fists up and ready to strike.

Sougo wasn't about to let her beat him "What's wrong china? Can't handle the fact that you'll be forever alone?" he asks condescendingly as he casually dodges, barely breaking a sweat.

"AH! SHUT UP YOU ASS!" she yells as she finally lands a blow to his face, sending him flying into a tree across the park.

As soon as Sougo shot across the park, people knew that their best option was to run, they knew their queen and they knew that when she fights the Shinsengumi's 1st division captain… nothing will stop her.

By the time everybody had cleared out, the two of them had already landed a few blows and destruction of public property was evident everywhere. "Just give up China, you can't prove me wrong" he teased, despite his head bleeding and blood blinding one of his eyes. Kagura in turn wiped a bit of blood from her lip and chuckled "Never" she announced before charging again.

Several minutes of bickering ended in more yelling than fighting "What about you? I bet women flock to you for your looks but run once you open your damn mouth!" she accused as he smirked "My looks huh? Are you attracted to me China?" he asked stepping towards her, Kagura reacting with a step back "W-w-what? Like hell you stupid sadist! Unlike you I actually have some looks!" she yells back, standing her ground now.

Sougo chuckled "Who are you kidding? With your looks, men would go running" he commented calmly. "Why you!" she yells, storming towards him, Sougo this time was the one holding his ground "Wanna say that again?" she threatened as he smirked "You heard me China, men take one look at you and run in the other direction" he said smugly as he and Kagura were mere inches away from each other "My papa has said that I look just like mami! And she was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!" she retorted "Looks aren't everything China, take your love life into consideration, you've never even kissed anyone before, no matter what you look like that will be a huge turn off" he informed as she just glared "What? Are you saying I wouldn't be a good kisser?" she almost yelled, she would have but she was too curious as to what he would say.

Sougo's smirk grew larger as he leaned in "You bet China, I'll bet you anything that if you ever kissed a guy he'd just break up with you then and there, not giving a damn how you felt" he said calmly.

Kagura looked down "What's wrong China? Scared that your lack of femininity has screwed you over?" he teased.

Suddenly her hand grabbed his collar, dragging him down and locking their lips together with no hesitation at all.

Sougo was so shocked at the bold move that he just stood there.

A few seconds went past before Kagura let him go and separated from him "Now who was it that you said was a bad kisser?" she asked smugly and confidently.

The two just stared at each other, Kagura looking triumphant while Sougo was standing there with wide eyes and mouth slightly handing open.

After a very short time, the realisation of what she had just done kicked in and Kagura's face turned red. She backed away several meters "W-well that was a fun fight… wasn't it?" she stuttered nervously, glancing around for her umbrella only to see it a few steps behind the sadist. Deciding it was best to just leave him be for now she ran off yelling "Don't think this counts as you winning!" before disappearing into the streets of Edo, leaving a still shocked Sougo standing there in the middle of a ring of destruction.

Kagura ran into Odd Jobs and ran right for her cupboard "Oi Kagura! It's the middle of the day, don't go to sleep already" Gintoki mumbled lazily as he opened the sliding door to her cupboard only to see Kagura lying in a ball, a black aura coming off her and bloodshot eyes. To top it off she was mumbling things like "Why did I do that?" and "What's happening after this?" over and over, giving off a creepy look.

Gintoki toughed her shoulder "Hey what happened?" he asked, but as soon as he made contact with her shoulder, she stopped mumbling and her bloodshot eyes darted to him. Without another word, she threw him into one of the couches and slammed the door closed yelling "Nothing!" before going back to her constant mumbling.
