"The fact that you are able to keep up with me is amazing." Sogo Okita panted as he jumped away from the kick that almost took his head off. Damn China, always picking a fight with him. He was just an innocent police officer who just enjoys others pain and suffering.

"Oh please I'm just going easy on you," China or Kagura said. The fact he could tell she was lying was proof to how much they knew each other.

"Fighting again?" Hijikata-san asked as he stumbled the two in the Shinsengumi yard.

"What does it look like idiot?" Kagura yelled, alert to any movements that Okita makes.

"Yeah, Idiot." Okita agreed.

"Why the hell are you agreeing?" Hijikata scowled at the pair before taking out his millionth cigarette of the day, placing it between his lips and lighting it up with his mayonnaise lighter. He inhaled then exhaled the smoke. "No wonder you two are getting married. You're meant to be." He mentioned.

Kagura froze. The only thing that was able to move was her head. It went from Hijikata's impassive face to Sogo's angered one.

"You told him!" she yelled.

"Oh, Sogo," Kondo, the stalker and chief to the Shisengumi, called out. "And future Mrs. Okita." He sneered.

The roof of the Shisengumi headquarters rose up an inch from the building when Kagura tried blasting her "fiancée," from the face of the earth, through her purple umbrella.


"Oi, china." He called out from behind her. His face was covered in bandages and scratches with a black eye on the left side of his face.

She ignored him as she walked faster to the odd jobs office.

"China," he called a bit louder.

She sped walked.

"China, china, china," he continuously called out as she ran and he after her.

Finally reaching her job/home, she slammed the shoji door on his face before leaning against it. Kagura never huffed and puffed this much before. She composed herself before facing Gin and Shinpachi.

"I'm here." She announced.

"Oh, Kagura-san." Shinpachi gave her a weird look. "Didn't I hear Okita-san's voice?"

"No," she vastly replied.

"Yeah, you did. I'm here." Okita said as he entered the office. "Morning, boss, four-eyes."

"Why are you calling me four-eyes?" Shinpachi exclaimed.

"Seriously?" Gin-chan said as he picked his nose. "Why are you here?"

"I don't know either. Gin-chan kick him out." Kagura instructed. She flopped down on the couch, took her pickled seaweed packet and chew on one.

"No, I'm talking about you. Aren't you two married yet? Where are you honeymooning? The Yato, home planet?" Gin teased.

"Huh? You and Okita-san…engaged. How come I didn't know about this?" Shinpachi asked.

"Because I'm her papa on earth while baldy is battling monsters, so he naturally had to come and ask me for permission."

"No, I asked if you could give her some days off." Okita revealed.

"Shhhhhh, let me look good!" Gin told Okita.

"Sogo, can I speak to you?" Kagura said.

Now it was known that when Kagura uses his actual name without insulting him afterwards, it was big troubled.


"You want to tell the whole world? It's bad enough that they found out we were dating." She argued. She took him to the alley way in the back of odd jobs.

"What? They were going to find out eventually."

"And I'm guessing you told them the reason why we are getting married."

"No, I didn't tell them that we are getting married because I-" he was interrupted by her hand covering his mouth.

"Shhhhhh, you know they are nosy."

"No we are not!" Catherine said, before she was silenced by the rest of the group.

"Oh lord, now I know how mommy felt." She recalled. "My poor mother had to suffer like this and before marriage."

"You're pregnant!?" Big sister Otae yelled out of nowhere.

Kagura placed her other hand over her face, dying in embarrassment.


"You're only nineteen years old!" Otae lectured.

Okita rolled his eyes. Otae was hostess at her age. And China was the appropriate age to get married and pregnant. Hell, girls younger than her were on their third kid.

"We are okay with marriage, but the fact that you are getting married because of a baby, it's unbelievable." Shinpachi joined in.

Brother-sister tag team.

"And the fact you were fighting back in the yard, didn't help either." Kondo said, appearing with Hijikata.

Damn chief, you had to open your big mouth.

"You fought!" Otae and Shinpachi tagged team again.

"I held back my full strength, I can't hurt the fetus." Sogo spoke.

"Fetus? It's a baby you ass." Hijikata lectured.

"At this stage, it's a fetus." What a smartass.

"I charge for babysitting," Catherine said.

"No one is talking to you," Otose-san mentioned.

Gin stared at Kagura, who stood quiet the whole time.

"Have anything to say?" Gin asked Kagura.

She shook her head. She rose from her chair, grabbed her umbrella by the entrance and left.

Everyone stood stunned, even Okita. This was not the Kagura that they knew. She would have caused some kind of ruckus already or cursed everyone out, but no she was as quiet as a mouse.

"I'll go talk to her." Sogo said standing up from the chair.

"What's eating her panties?" Gin said.

"Maybe the way that we were ridiculing her about her actions and the fact that her fiancée completely ignored her presence and well-being." Shinpachi stated.

Everyone agreed, especially on the Okita ignoring her part, while the said male was imagining of the ways to kill everyone in there except for boss and Kondo-san.


Kagura strolled the rural side of Edo along the coast of a river. Staring at the purple and orange looking water, with a somber look on her face. She sat on the green grass as the sun went down. She began to think about her mother and the stories she told her.

"Your daddy was a jerk when I first met him." Kagura began to speak to her belly.

"When we met, it was hate at first sight. But then again, hate and love are divided by a single line. Well, that's what Gin-chan told me. Ah, speaking of him, Gin-chan, he's going to be like your uncle or grandpa. Make him feel old, so call him grandpa." She joked. "And Shinpachi, you can do whatever you want to him, he's just there for comic relief. Um, his older sister, big sis, she's good. Always respect her. From daddy's friends, Kondo is a perverted stalker and if you're a girl I'll keep you away from him. The Mayo/nicotine maniac is cool except for that weird obsession. Yamazaki is the same as Shinpachi, you can do whatever you want to him. Your uncle Kamui, I don't know if he'll be happy for me or can't wait till you are born to fight you. Poppy might hate daddy for a while, but he'll love you and Sadaharu is going to be your guardian. He's the best. Mommy loves her Sadaharu." Kagura choked up a bit before saying, "Mommy loves you too. Mommy loved you from the first moment she found out about you."

"And daddy loves you too. Like he loves mommy." Okita said towards the belly.

Kagura jumped as Okita was about to place his hand on her belly.

"Oi, I'm talking to junior."

"What if it's a girl? And I will never name my child after you." Kagura sneered at her fiancée. What the hell he was doing here?

Okita ignored her comment. He grabbed her arm to bring him closer to him. She refused until he threatened to make a law to discontinue pickled seaweed. Reluctantly she sat in front of him. He wrapped his arms around her stomach, while she leaned back against his chest.

"You're heavy." He said.

She laughed. "Imagine in a few more months."

She could feel him smile.

"I can't believe Hasegawa was the one who mentioned that you look like you're glowing. That MADAO figured out you were pregnant, before me. I mean I was the one who was sticki-"

"Can you not?" she said sighing. She tilted her head back to see his face, that smug face of his that she hated and now loved more than anything. "Do you actually want to marry me?"

He looked down to see her blue eyes brighten with hope.

"Damn girl, I did ask you to date me didn't I? I don't date without marriage to consider. If it was any one, I wouldn't give them my attention like I do with you, Kagura."

Her eyes widened when he used her name. Tears threatened to spill out.

"Damn, pregnancy hormones." She blamed, wiping her unshed tears away. "Making me so emotional. I blame you. Getting me pregnant. I bet you planned this too."

"Yes, I planned to get you pregnant because it's not like I was planning on asking you to marry me anyways." He said sarcastically.

"Ohhh, so you do love me that much huh?" she teased.

Okita didn't say anything. He lifted her left hand, her delicate hand that also can pack quite a punch.

"What are you doing?"

He did not reply to her question as he took out a small box from his pocket. Opening it to reveal a white gold princess style ring. He removed the ring from the box and placed it on her left ring finger. He brought it closer to his lips. Kissing it lightly, he made a promise that he would make her and the baby happy as long as he lived.

"Until death do us part?" Kagura asked.

He smirked. "Until death," he said before kissing his fiancée.
