Hi there! So this story was kind of based off a dream that I had regarding Hijikata and Kagura so I thought I'd expand it a little and make something out of it!
Enjoy for those who check this out! There will most likely be more chapters to come :)
Chapter 1: Don't go picking up girls that show up by your car
"Remind me where your boss is again?" Hijikata gruffly asked as he chewed on his cigarette. He had a fairly annoyed glare in his eyes, one that seemed to be ever present this week thanks to Sougo.
"Probably dead. He came back last night mumbling and groaning then collapsed on the floor only to start crawling towards his bedroom like some zom—"
"And why is it you he sent!?" Hijikata barked as he glared down at the red haired Yato that was picking her nose. He didn't like that she was here. Whenever any of the Yorozuya were around, something would somehow always happen.
"What are you saying, Toshi—"
"Don't call me that."
"—You don't want to be partnered with a beautiful woman like me?" Kagura posed to the side dramatically, laughing haughtily.
Hijikata pondered his situation for a moment. At least he wasn't constantly trying to get assassinated by Sougo. So maybe having the red head wouldn't be so bad after all. It's not like she was going to get him killed today.
Boy, was he wrong.
Half an hour later, the police car the two of them were just in was in flames, his hair had turned into an afro from the explosion, and Kagura was throwing shit everywhere.
"I should've just called Sougo. No, I should've just gone alone." Hijikata muttered as he dragged a hand down his face.

It was just a little check up on the Shogun and his sister. That's all the task asked for per Kondo-san, which knowing him shouldn't be too hard. Sougo had been sent on another task which allowed the Vice-Captain to breathe an audible sigh of relief, only to almost get killed for the 5th time that day by a bomb that the sadist planted himself.
But as he was heading to his car, he spotted a flash of red hair in his peripherals before getting tackled in the side.
"WHO THE—"
"MAYORA!"
Thanks to his instincts, he had blocked Kagura's kick with the scabbard of his katana from slamming him face first into the ground.
"What do you want, kid?" he growled as he relaxed his stance and watched her dust herself off.
He pulled out an unlit cigarette and slipped it in between his lips as he observed her. She seemed normal. Now what the heck did she want?
"I've been sent here by Gin-chan to pick up medicine for the 'massive son-of-a-bitch headache' he says he has." Kagura explained as she nodded to herself.
"Hey, just cause your boss says things like that doesn't mean you have to. Also, I'm not a pharmacy so scram." Hijikata said as he made a move to get to his car.
[flashfoward a couple seconds]
"What are you saying, Toshi—"
"Don't call me that."
"—You don't want to be partnered with a beautiful woman like me?" Kagura posed to the side dramatically, laughing haughtily.
Hijikata stood there thinking to himself for a moment, when he suddenly blinked out of his daze.
"Wait just a minute what do you think you're doing, hah?" The Vice-Captain said as he watched Kagura open the passenger door to his car and get in.
"You're gonna take me to the convenience store, right?" Kagura immediately replied, already buckling her seatbelt.
"OI! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'M GONNA DO THAT!? I've got duties of my own, so get out!" Hijikata yelled as he stomped to the passenger side and yanked open the door, grabbing a fistful of her shirt.
"HELP! HELP! THIS SHINSENGUMI OFFICER IS TRYING TO KIDNAP M—!"
Hijikata's hand had never moved so fast. He leaned in closer to Kagura's face with his hand over mouth with eyes narrowed into slits.
"What are you doing?" He hissed as he took his hand away.
"Take me to the convenience store! How can you let a poor innocent girl like me walk around the streets of night—"
"It's daytime."
"—all alone?" Kagura blinked up at Hijikata who was already gnawing on his cigarette irritably.
Sighing, Hijikata lifted his gaze to the bright blue sky and shut his eyes for a moment.
"Fine! But I'm leaving you there after!" He said as he sat in the driver's side, shutting the door.
"All right!" Kagura cheered as he pulled out of the lot and into the streets.
What had he gotten himself into?
