I created a little fiction that the characters in Gintama altered and they are after all of the happenings from the plot, but the world is with no changes from last arcs (so there is Shinsengumi and shogun - although he doesn't appear, Yorozuya is doing its jobs). I just wanted Kagura and Sougo to be a little older (18 and 22) and everyone has their bonds, but I felt the most comfortable with writing in this well-known, crazy world without Tendoshuu, Utsuro, and other mindblowing stuff. And I didn't want to create the continuation. Please COMMENT and tell me if there is anything I can improve. I'm also NOT a native, so please excuse all my mistakes.

There is more and more M stuff in each chapter (if anyone wondered why it's rated M after chapter 1)

Enjoy :)

It was quite a casual Yorozuya job. The daughter of some shady man got captured by a hostile fraction as a hostage to pressure the man about withdrawing from the crucial Kabuki district part. Obvious enough, the underworld couldn't just turn to a legal protection service. And Yorozuya was so small that it wouldn't catch unwanted sight. What's more, the man offered an impressive amount of money for that task. Gintoki considered it a worthy job. After getting the necessary information they started their work. Unbeatable turned out to be, as always in such cases, Sadaharu's nose. He found the scent, so they went after the dog.

Apparently, Shinsengumi wasn't easy to deceive. It happened that they had found out the hideout of the underworld fraction. Unfortunately, they weren't informed about the kidnapped girl. Unfortunately because they had quite a damaging plan to get rid of the criminals, sent from higher up - radical enough to be Matsudaira's one. The disaster was hanging in the air.

Again, the Yorozuya's dog was irreplaceable. His instincts told him that rush is important. The owners had known their pet, so they trusted that there had to be a reason for his mad run and simply followed him, barely catching their breaths. When black uniforms appeared in their field of sight they only started to run faster. And it got worse at the moment they saw policemen with big guns directed to an old building. There was no time to stop and talk, the danger appeared to be double. Fraction members could do anything to the customer's daughter in amok if they had noticed the police. But on the other hand, Shinsengumi should be confused enough to wait if they see Gintoki and the rest. So all four, with the dog leading, rushed through the police officers crowd, jumped over the devastated fence and entered the building.

As expected police were shocked. Everybody froze for a moment, but the commander quickly understood the situation, they were familiar with silver-haired samurai long enough.

'Toushi, Sougo - go, chase them and see what's happening, get them back here!' ordered Kondou.

'Yes!' replied both men, moving immediately, not needing better motivation than just seeing this group around.

''And there I was thinking nothing interesting would happen today'' the captain of the 1st Division laughed to himself.

In the meantime, Yorozuya rushed further. All attacking men were knocked out in the blink of an eye on the way of this fearsome marathon. Shinsengumi members quickly reached the group, guided to the destination by the path of opponents bodies.

'What the hell are you doing here?!' screamed Hijikata to the back of not-stopping Gintoki.

'We're in hurry, you're interrupting our job' snarled silver-perm man.'Huh?! It's you who are interrupting our job, asshole!' yelled back Vice-commander. They were insulting each other for a little longer.

'Oi, China, explain' commanded Okita catching up with Kagura on the run.

'I'm not your subordinate to listen to your commands, sadist' she replied and punched perfectly and hard the opponent jumping on her, so that he flew the whole corridor in front of them and broke through the door, meanwhile kicking another one on Okita.

''Aaahh, strong as always'' thought excited sadist, avoiding the body heading towards him. He stopped nagging her, of course he loved fighting with her as much as against her, so he was just cutting the attackers with his sword for now. His mood had just strongly improved, like typically with her annoying presence around him. But the time when she was only annoying him was already in distant past. He couldn't say it, obviously, but he cared about her honestly (which didn't disturb him from taking serious and not serious fights with her all the time). She knew it, she felt the same and he knew it as well. Their rivalry was so casual for them as breathing, just like this careness hidden deep inside.

Sadaharu barked and run into a room with no door (destroyed by the opponent of Kagura falling on them). There were a bunch of men in the room, that was the first thing Kagura saw entering it right after the dog. And the next thing, or rather person, was a girl, her age probably, tied, half undressed and with tears in her eyes, kneeling in front of those men. This sight made her no hesitate - she started firing to all of them from her umbrella, kicking and punching the hardest she could the nearest oppressors. The bodies flew around the room, actually out of the room as well (through the walls), so far that she couldn't see them. People entering the room after her didn't have anything more to do, because it took Yato girl just a few seconds to lay everyone down. Gintoki, Shinpachi and Shinsengumi officers stopped for a moment to see what happened that Kagura acted so wild. Before they all grasped the situation, she was already with the girl, untying her and helping her to put the clothes back on, wiping her face with the ripped piece of her qipao. Gintoki came to the girl slowly. He understood it the second he saw the girl.

'That bastards...' muttered angrily.

'It's good you gave them what they deserved Kagura' he praised Yato and patted her head, kneeling in front of those pricks' victim.'It's ok now, we are taking you back to your father' he said gently. Meanwhile, Shinpachi explained to the Shinsengumi members that they were asked to bring this kidnapped girl to her father (of course omitting the shady details). Hijikata looked around the room, or what was left of it, and went back to Kondou to explain him the incident.

Sougo looked around as well, with a bit of impression. He noticed the girl, of course, and, the same as Gintoki, realized what made Kagura mad. He stared at his rival for a moment. She had a really serious face, her blue eyes showed worry, but there still glowed a little rage in them. Her dress was torn and showed nearly whole her right leg. She seemed really mature at that moment, taking care of the girl. He spotted this attribute of her some time ago - if it was about protecting people important to her or taking care of them, she was damn serious about it, which she showed again knocking out about 20 men in just a few blinks of eyes, making them disabled for a very long time. He liked this in her. She wasn't just a little girl anymore, the same as she wasn't just annoying to him. He knew he had some deeper feelings towards her.

''Eh, you could have thought about not exposing this slim, white leg to the public view, it's too tempting for people'' he turned his eyes off her, sighing. There was a little lust in this sigh. He couldn't ignore her physicality after all, again - she wasn't a little girl anymore, regardless of what he was thinking. Not satisfied entirely with either fight and the fact he couldn't look at her for a little longer, followed Hijikata.

Shinsengumi was surprised with the sudden turn of events. In the end, they didn't need to do anything, because there were no fraction members able to move. Yorozuya came out of the ruined building. Gintoki was carrying the client's daughter covered with his yukata on a piggyback. He stopped by Kondou and Hijikata to explain some things.

'Ah, I suppose there would be bigger problems if we had killed the innocent citizens. Anyway, they are defeated so we will manage with all of this' reassured the silver-haired samurai Shinsengumi commander. Hijikata stood next to him, smoking a cigarette. Kagura went a little further not noticing it even since she was sunk in her thoughts. Capitan Okita saw her after he gave orders to his division. He appeared in front of her unexpectedly – at least for her.

'Aren't you ashamed of walking around in such slutty clothes?' he pointed at her ripped dress and exposed leg with his typical smirk. Then continued. 'Is it your true nature coming out?' He had a real urge to tease her badly. She looked at him with madness, grabbed him by his collar and punched directly in the face. He was already pissed off by the fact that she was able to hold him by that collar, however her expression of rage and seriousness kind of attracted him, so he didn't react in time to avoid his punishment for dirty teasing. It was surely painful.

'Stupid bastard, don't you dare to say anything to me with that filthy mouth of yours!' she panted grinding her teeth with anger. He pulled too sensitive string, it wasn't typical behavior. She turned back from him and went away. He looked after her a little shocked and only after a few seconds got up from the ground, massaging his face.

He was getting on her nerves with nearly every meeting. But this time he really made her indescribably mad. ''He has no tact, fucking sadist'' she insulted him in her head. She thought that this one time he could show some maturity and leave her alone. It was enough for her that those fuckers dared to do something so cruel to this girl, she couldn't stand it, seeing the face of the girl in tears full of fear. She came to Sadaharu and looked into his understanding eyes.

'At least you get it how it is for women to be done something like this' she hugged the big, fluffy dog. He laid his head on hers and wagged his tail.

Then they both joined Gintoki and Shinpachi on the way to Mr client. Gintoki put the girl on Sadaharu's back. They delivered her and told the man about what she went through. Her father got furious, certainly, but there wasn't anything else to do than just to take proper care of the poor girl for the time being. He paid and thanked Yorozuya solemnly. Happy after getting their payment, they couldn't really celebrate, tough. It wasn't appropriate. They just felt like going home.

Kagura took Sadaharu on a walk later that evening, because she couldn't sit in one place or rather snap out of the happenings. Despite the late hour, the sun didn't fully hide behind the horizon yet.

'China.'

She heard while sitting on a bench. She gave an instant response.

'Did you come to piss me off again?' she growled and scowled at the blond-haired man. She wasn't actually so mad anymore but just wanted to pretend she was.

'Good. You calmed down a bit.' He saw right through her. ''Damn, I can't hide anything from him'' she resigned.

So she sighed and asked: 'Do you want something, sadist?'

'Sorry' Okita stated quietly.

'What? Are you out of your mind? You're apologizing?' Kagura laughed loudly and look into his eyes. He was looking into her eyes as well, unmoved. She became serious.

'Well, I should have told you those compliments on a different occasion, I must say I picked the wrong time, that's the only mistake' He turned his sight away. He didn't mean it actually.

'Ah, I see. As befits sadist, no regrets for insulting a lady' ginger-haired replied half-annoyed.

'I don't see any lady around, just one sickening girl pretending to be one' he smirked as usual.

'Do you want to fight, damn sadist? I will gladly correct my previous punch' she implied contentedly. She felt slightly better with this casual conversation and understood that he was sorry for what he said. They were both stubborn and didn't want to tell each other their feelings. So they indeed understood each other perfectly.

'You know, I'd be happy to pay you back double, but I'm tired' he responded and sat next to her, tilting his head back and closing his eyes. That lack of fight spirit surely was something new for her.

'Why are you tired? Most likely, as always, you did nothing the whole day, getting away from your work to nap… Not mentioning that you couldn't get tired with the fight today because it was mainly me who knocked out the majority of those fuckers. No bullshit, sadist' she tilted her head back similarly to him and gave him a light punch in the arm.

'You're hurting Mr policeman's heart. Of course I worked hard. I thought about you today a lot, that's tiring' he glanced at her, sighing.

'Oh, don't sigh at me. So that's it, Mr policeman? Thinking tires you, huh?' Kagura smirked provokingly. He got annoyed, but only superficially.

'It's not thinking, but thinking about you - big difference' he rapidly grabbed her chin in his hand and looked with irritation in her face. She broke herself free of his grip with force and gave back the irritated gaze.

The atmosphere between those two could seem like the usual. But they knew that something is off. Or rather - abnormal. With this irritation, there was something else in the air. They wouldn't ever say it, but they felt it clearly enough. When they were looking at each other with this supposed irritation, the desire started to overflow. Their eyes became a little darker and they started to breathe deeper. Those few seconds were enough. At the same time they looked at each other's lips. Perfectly synchronized. And there was no coming back, the tension reached its limit.

They got caught up in a wild kiss, not controlling anything. Sougo's one hand grabbed Kagura's neck from the back, pressing her harder to him and with the second he strongly caught her waist. She was equally offensive by pulling his hair, making him get even closer to her. For a moment she pulled stronger and make him tilt his head a little back, breaking the kiss. She used it in one go to bite his lower lip and then lick it. He shivered and got slightly angry, in the end, he was the S, so he grabbed strongly her thigh instead of the waist and with the other hand he grabbed her neck from the front, making her feel trapped. She panted heavily, letting out a quiet moan. He looked on her face, red from arousal and his pupils widened. Kagura saw his thirsty, lustful gaze through the half-opened eyelids. She smiled and bit her lip. Sougo growled like a predator who just started the chase after his prey and kissed her roughly. Indeed it was a chase. Their tongues rolled around each other, dancing the wild dance of desire. They were biting their lips, their hands tried to push them even closer together.

Suddenly Sadaharu barked from somewhere behind them, running towards them and they became conscious again. They also heard some human steps getting closer. Kagura pushed Okita away with the rest what she had left from her common sense. She stood up breathing heavily and looked one more time at the sadist. Their gaze was full of questions when their eyes met. But she turned back from him one more time today and rushed away. He hid his head in his hands, trying to calm down.

''What the fuck just happened?!'' This question crossed their minds.
