Here's the 2nd chapter! Its short because I really dont know how to make things dramatic okay? So if you want to point out to me stuff or rather give suggestions then please :)
A year had passed, Kagura is 16 and Sogou is 20, and the couple was still intact or so they said. They bicker frequently which was normal but this time was different. It wasnt an argument, they just couldn't keep secrets from each other.
They went to visit Mitsuba's grave that afternoon since it was her death anniversary, Sogou was bummed the whole day and didn't want to talk at all not even to the person closest to him. When they had said their prayers before her grave Kagura decided to confront her troubled boyfriend. "Hey Sogou, are you alright?" she was worried about him but she really didn't know how to be a comforting girlfriend. Sougo looked down as if he didn't want to answer but his girlfriend had a right to know why he was feeling down the whole day. "C-can we just talk about this later?" She felt more worried now that maybe something really bad happened. "Sure" She kissed him on the cheek and gave him space.
They headed back to Okita's house to discuss the matter. Kagura made her way to the couch and Sogou followed. He dropped down and rested his head on her shoulder. She embraced him and kissed his forehead "Whats wrong?" placing her chin on top of his head. "Im sorry..I've been lying to you all this time." She could really tell that he was depressed today, she stared into space looking confused to what he said. "What do you mean Sogou?" this time fear was lingering into her mind as to what he was talking about, had he been cheating on her? Did he pull a trick on her or was their relationship a bet or something? All these questions were bombarding in her brain, she was afraid of the situation right now though she was still determined to find the reason why Sougo has been so down today.
"Im sorry, I really dont want you to be hurt." He straightened up and looked her into her eyes with deep sorrow.
"Sogou, I dont understand what you're saying. You've never hurt me excluding our physical fights but I-"
"I only wanted to make my sister happy. You see, she really liked you and she was begging me to date you and..and" when he glanced at Kagura, he had found her overlfowing with tears and her hands covering her mouth.
"Go on Sogou, just tell me everything already." Surprisingly, she had still remained her cool.
"Everyone wanted us to be together, so I played along." He had to pause for he could feel the tears coming up. "Kagura, my sister's been dead for a year now and I don't know why we have to keep this relationship going." He had felt a tear trickle down his face then unto his hands.
Kagura had a hard time to find the right words, her mind was just filled with all the supposed happy memories they had together. She cherished her time with Sogou, but did he cherish them as much as she did? Did he love as much as she did?
"Sogou, its alright if it was for your sister but" *hic* "After all this time, Im going to ask you." She had gulped down the pain and clear her throat, her swollen eyes focused on his. "Do you love me?"
His heart throbbed for a second, he was speechless and lost in his world. His tears kept flowing and he eventually broke down. He couldn't keep this up anymore, Kagura was the one keeping their relationship alive and if it wasn't for her genuine love then they wouldn't even last a year nor a week. And for him to act like he was in love was the harshest thing he can do to her, she had been so kind and so understanding to him yet..."Do you love her?"
It had been a long silence that Kagura eventually stopped trying. "Alright, I understand. You only dated me just for your sister but even after she died we kept this..this "act" going on. Actually that was your act, I did my best in everything just to keep you happy, I did my best just for you. I really had thought it was a give and take relationship that everyone kept talking about. But all along it was just me, Im the only one who was stupid enough to give you everything, even my life."
She stood up and gave him weak smile despite of him breaking her heart "Alright sadist, you win. The one who falls in love first loses right? We finally settled a score and you dont even have to bother seeing me again because...because everything is over. Okita Sogou, we're done."
She walked towards the door and before she had exit she said "Goodbye" and left. Sogou at that time had just realized his feelings "How did I not notice that I did fall for you Kagura?" He cried more than he did when his sister died, had never felt this bad in his whole life for he had just shattered someone, not just someone, but a loved one.
And the saddest thing was that's the last time they had seen each other.
Later that day she had gone to Gintoki and told everything that happened. Her eyes were gouging out with tears and he was in the brink of murdering Sogou. "Gin-chan, Im leaving" And no one else could stop her from making that decision. No one knew why and no one knew if she'll ever come back.
At the time of her flight, her spaceship crashed. No one knew if she was alive.
I know that this one is pretty sad but I swear the next one would be fluffy and stuff and it will be up in awhile so yeah :) I thank those who gave reviews I really appreciate it!
