Hi guys~

Thanks for the many lovely reviews!

I really enjoy reading your opinions, and it makes me happy that you guys have thoughts about this!

It proves that I'm not writing some empty meaningless fanfic :P

Haha. Anyway, last time couple of people messaged me and asked what the five year ago incident in this story was.

Well, do not fear. I did not forget it! I actually planned it all out, so truth will come out soon 3

Dont worry!

Ciao~


"The. Hell." Kagura managed to spit out her words. "You better be joking, sadist!"
Okita shrugged at her bitter words and simply shrugged. "Nope. I'm being deadly serious."

"Why the hell would I help you? Go rot in the corners of Hell, you-" The female Yato continued to curse out the nonchalant Shinsengumi officer until he took out a thick envelope from his pocket. He held it out in front of the Yorozuya trio and dropped it on top of their coffee table.

"I think this should help, no?" Okita observed their reaction.

"I-" Kagura began to speak up but before she could say anymore, she got interrupted by a serious voice.

"No." Gintoki spoke up in a firm tone. "There's no way I'm sending her."

"Yeah, Okita-san." Shinpachi quietly shook his head. "There is no way we can send her to a dangerous place! I mean I understand that she is a Yato and all, but- she's still a girl!"

"Guys." Kagura rolled her eyes. "I don't think this is your decision to make."

"No way, Kagura. I can't send you to a sketchy place with a person like him." The silver haired samurai made a gesture to the silent Shinsengumi Officer.

"But Gin-chan." The vermillion haired girl spoke up. "I'm pretty sure I will be okay."

"Kagura." Gintoki shook his head without a word.

"You know that we need this money, right?" Kagura let out a sigh. "Plus, you shouldn't worry about me. I'm not a fourteen year old girl anymore. I'm an adult now, and I am positive that my Yato power grew. A lot. I mean, after all, I did break your arm two months ago with a simple poke." She let out a nervous laugh and hoped that her friends will give approval for her actions.

"I…" Gintoki looked at Shinpachi to Kagura to Okita. Gintoki knew that he didn't want to send a little girl out to one of the most dangerous place with a male. Especially a male. However, he knew that she was right. She was physically a lot stronger than the humans, and she was also a lot more capable than anyone else. His feelings continued to violently battle each other inside of him. But he knew what he could do and what he couldn't do.

Then, he let out a long sigh and scratched his head in frustration. "It's not like I can stop you anyway." He lightly flicked his finger at her forehead and gently smiled. "You better stay safe, Kagura." His eyes averted to the silent officer, and he went back to his usual, carefree self. "Well, Souchirou-kun. Take care of her or baldy would kill me for sure."

"Sure, danna." Okita replied in an indifferent tone and smiled. His crimson eyes turned to the fuming girl next to him, and he felt a rush of triumph as he watched her angrily glare at him. "Welcome to my team, China."


It has been hours since they roamed around the Southern part of Kabukicho. Hours since they left the Yorozuya Office.

A certain girl in a bright red Chinese dress was stomping down the street with the laid back Shinsengumi Officer trailing behind her.

"Oi, China." Okita finally decided to speak up. "We can't just walk around like this for hours. Just choose a damn place to stay."

Kagura turned around with a fierce look in her eyes. "There is no way I'm staying in those-" she pointed to couple of the Love Hotels nearby. "Those shameless places!"

"China." Okita Sougo could not believe her mentality. Is she really that pure? "Just choose a damn place. It's not like I'm going to do anything to you!"

"Shut up!" She violently turned around and pressed on.

"Damn it, China." Before she could storm far away from him, Okita grabbed her wrist and began walking towards the nearest hotel. "Just calm down, okay?" He rolled his eyes and pointed towards the building. "That's the most normal one we can find here. Obviously, we are in South Kabukicho. It's all going to be Love Hotels and whatnot. Stop being so annoying and let's just go there." He tugged at her arm and managed to drag her towards the lobby.

"Hmph!" She loosened his grip from her wrist when he reached the front counter.

"Don't be so angry with me. You agreed on this, remember?"

"Whatever." Kagura mumbled in her breath and stood next to him as they waited for someone to rent out a room.

"You guys staying for the night?" A middle aged woman appeared through the back door and smiled. "Such a cute couple."

"W-we're not a couple!" The shocked young girl yelled out.

"Oh?" The woman raised her eyebrows and giggled. "You guys have that…aura."

"Really?" Okita finally spoke up and smirked.

Kagura frantically looked at Okita for help, but she noticed that evil smirk that was spreading across his face. What the hell is he up to?

"Well, she is a bit shy, you know." Okita slyly wrapped his arm around her waist and his smirk lingered on his face.

"What the hell-" Kagura strugged against his grip and tried to escape.

"Oh my." The woman handed Okita the key and smiled. "I guess you both needsto go to the room!" With one last look, she gave both of them a short bow and let out a giggle as she disappeared from their sight. "Have a fun night!" A trail of high pitched voice could be heard behind the door.

When everything became quiet, Okita awkwardly coughed and pointed towards the hall. "Let's just go before someone else comes." Kagura 's blue eyes looked up at him in bewilderment and slowly, her face nodded in agreement. He still had his arms around her waist, so he lead her down the hall towards their room. "Well, here we are." He quietly whispered under his breath and opened the door. No matter how calm he tried to remain, it seemed impossible due to his flailing emotions. Then, as soon as they made walked through the door, they jumped away from each other and suffocating atmosphere was forming again.

"What the hell?" Kagura yelled out as if she snapped out from her silent mode. Quickly, she grabbed his collar and snarled. "A couple? Really. A couple?"

"China, at a place like this, that's the best disguise. I mean, I can't say that you're my sister or something." Okita tried to shake her grip off of him but she was way too strong. She did get stronger. A lot stronger.

"Why? Why would I want to be lovers with you?" She still had a tight iron grip on him and now, she was only an inch away from his face as she violently shook him.

"China. Just grow up."

"Oh yeah? You want to talk about growing up now?" Kagura's eyes narrowed into a slit. "Since when were you so mature?"

"What?" Okita had no idea where this was going. "I was always mature!"

"Yeah, right." The Yato released her grasp and pushed him back couple of feet away from her. "You were always such a coward. A wimp! Always running away from your own petty little emotions."

"What?" He still had no idea what was boiling her up this much. "I really don't know what nonsense-"

"Oh yeah? Five years ago. You don't remember that?" Kagura folded her arms across her chest. "You don't remember five years ago?"

"What? Five years ago? Are you seriously still talking about that?" Okita threw down his jacket to the floor. "You're telling me that I'm immature? Aren't you the one that's being annoyingly persistent about this?"

Kagura blankly stared at his in silence.

"Y-you don't know anything."

"What?

"I said-" Kagura flung a punch towards his face, but before it could make an impact, Okita managed to block her assault. "You don't know anything at all!"

"What's wrong with you? Are you on your period or something?" Okita swiftly dodged her constant attack; however, he was still alert for he knew that her attacks shouldn't be taken lightly.

"You little piece of shit!" Her attacks were becoming faster and faster. "You have no idea. No idea how much your little act actually hurt me!"

"Hurt you? Why would that-"Before he could finish his sentence, Okita stumbled on something on the floor and backed up to the door. Oh shit. He placed his arms in front of his head to reduce the damage; however, he didn't feel any pain.

"You actually hurt me, you know." Kagura had stopped her attack and gloomily stood in front of him. "I still can't believe you did that." Okita's eyes looked at her in worry as he caught her bare whispers.

"Wait…are you being serious?" Okita lowered his arms and looked into her sad aqua eyes.

"Whatever." She bit the bottom of her quivering lips and turned around.

"Wait-"He quietly stared at her shaking shoulders. Is she…crying? He extended his arm to grab onto her, but before he could even get close to her, she ran out of the room without any word. "I actually hurt her …" Okita could not believe it. He could not believe that the one person he thought he was always protecting got hurt from no one else other than him.
