The Banana Split Formation
Ch. 3: Even if the road home is short, it takes a shitload of time to get there
Okita didn't like this. It was way too quiet, not to mention the tense silence surrounding them like a plague. Nothing was going on, and he didn't like that. No at all. Zero. Nada. No talking, no screaming, no fighting, no nuclear bomb attacks. No nothing. He didn't understand. Why would the China girl walking next to him hate her brother so much? It was pretty much explained in chapter two but wouldn't those things usually be resolved by now? If it were a normal pair of siblings like him and his sister, yes it would. But this was about two very complex yatos. One who adores his little sister, and one who hates her older brother. Sougo was very curious. He figured he might as well take his time asking questions since the road to "Yorozuya Gin-chan" seems to be extremely long.
"Oi Chinaa."
Kagura responded with a grunt. Still thinking about the previous situation.
Why did I say that? This is so unlike my character uh-huh. But Baka-aniki did deserve it.
She ended her thoughts by concluding the fact that her Baka-aniki was still an asshole, despite the fact that she knew she wanted to help him from his bloodlust as a yato.
"-naaa. Chinaa, are you listening?" Okita was starting to get impatient.
"What, Sadist?"
"Why do you hate your brother so much?" He questioned, interested in what her reply would be. Kagura, on the other hand, thought that he would he quiet after the scene at the shinsengumi compound. Although, it was possible that he was curious about their relationship. She just never considered it. But either way, she was still somewhat surprised.
"It's none of your business Sadist." Kagura said immediately.
"Since we are facing up against powerful enemies in two days that even your nii-chan regarded as powerful, we might as well share about our pasts."
"Hah, I know that you will never let down your guard against anyone Sadist. You just want me to talk about my relationship about Kamui don't you uh-huh?" Kagura retorted.
"Tch, she found out huh." Okita murmured. He let out a sigh. "I guess your brain surprisingly got smarter despite how impossible that is."
"MY BRAIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SMARTER THAN YOURS, YOU SHITHEAD!" Kagura fumed and clicked her tongue. "Besides, what about you? I doubt that you talked about your family relationships with me."
Although it was covered up quickly, there was a little flicker of sadness in her rival's eyes. There was a slight chance that they had similar situations. She was curious this time. After a few minutes, Okita sprouted a thoughtful look.
"Then China, courtesy of our probable soon to be deaths, how about an exchange? You talk about what happened between you and Kamui, and I'll talk about mine with my sister." Sougo proposed.
Kagura was surprised, "You have a sister?"
Okita nodded, "She's not here anymore." He said nonchalantly, but Kagura knew better. Any other person would've thought he didn't cared, but she saw the look in his eye again that was barely visible to others. She felt guilt for asking and muttered and apology, which took Okita by surprise because he thought that the China Girl wasn't ever going to apologize to anyone. Even though Kagura was stubborn, she knew when she needed to apologize if she ever thought she went over the line.
"Alright Sadist, I accept your proposal." Kagura said while picking her nose, wanting to know more about the Sadist, and also wanting to vent her own feelings out. Her history with her brother wasn't even told to Gin-chan or Shinpachi in full detail. So why did she feel comfortable speaking with the sadist? Was it because they were rivals? Or was it because they shared many things in common? Either way all she wanted to do now was to vent.
Okita smirked, "Well then, I guess we should start now."
Meanwhile…..a sneak peak at the Shinsengumi headquarters
A broken vase. Shattered tables, and several Shinsengumi fridges obliterated of their food.
"Oh. My. God. ABUTO WHAT DO I DO! MY LITTLE SISTER IS STUCK WITH THAT ASSHOLE! OH THE THINGS THAT THAT POLICE OFFICER COULD DO TO HER! WHAT IF HE RAPES HER AND SHE GETS PREGNANT?! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A NEPHEW THAT'S RELATED TO THAT HUMAN! WAIT, WHAT IF I JUST FOLLOW THEM?! NONONO SHE'LL HATE ME EVEN MORE THEN!" He paused, and his thoughts trailed back to the conversation in chapter two.
If only she knew more of what happened, Kamui thought. He brought up a sour look and continued to obliterate more prized shinsengumi artifacts.
Abuto sweat dropped at his captain's actions. Hijikata and Kondo already retired to their rooms. The other shinsengumi men were out on the night patrol, which left Kamui to do what he was best at doing when angered, or when he's in any mood.
Destroying, killing, and eating.
Abuto wasn't really a big fan of his captain's bad habits. 'Why didn't he just tell his sister what really happened?' he thought. Sigh, why is my baka danchou so stupid? He could've explained it from the start. But then, he would also have to explain that his actions in the Yoshiwara arc…this is so troublesome…
Meanwhile, chairs were flying everywhere, more tables were being broken, and several tatami doors were being violently ripped from the walls.
It's a wonder that no one heard him.
Kamui then started blasting the shinsengumi training spots while eating their sausages (A/N: Epic multitasker! Haha lolz XD). Millions of thoughts about how he should kill the human named Okita Sougo entered his head.
Should I do it secretly by knife? Nonono that's too nice…. Then what about if I hide a bomb in his clothes then feed him to the dogs? Nah. Rip him apart with my bare hands? Shoot him with my umbrella?
The list went on forever.
Back to the two rivals
Even though they said they would talk about their pasts, no one was talking. Since Okita didn't want another silence between the two of them, he decided to start on his.
"My sister," He started, "She was the one who was pretty much raising me since I was born."
Kagura was listening intently, watching him as he spoke. "And?" she asked curiously.
"My parents died a few years after I was born. They were drug dealers who didn't give a shit about my sister. Hell, I would've killed them if they were still alive. They were barely home, and all they did was pay for my sister's medicine which was barely helping her." Okita smiled bitterly. His tone clearly stated to Kagura that he cared a lot about his sister, and despised his parents.
"Your parents sound like assholes." She said, being able to relate only by her papi. The only difference was that her parents loved her, and they weren't drug dealers.
"They were," he whispered. Realizing he was getting off track, he continues his story. "As I was saying, Aneue was usually the one who was taking care of me. Even when we left the country, she still supported our decision." He paused. Oi oi, why am I getting emotional now? Especially in front of China. He has always wondered why he shared his thoughts with her, just like in the arc with Kirie (A/N: Look in the Rokkaku Arc). He felt comfortable talking around her, seeing as they were in similar situations. "She visited once before, and it just started happening. Her tuberculosis suddenly got worse, and she died."
Kagura couldn't tell what he was thinking, his eyes were overshadowed by his bangs. "Her last words, what were they?"
Okita looked up at her. He wondered, why was she so curious as to know that? Either way, if he wasn't going to share her story, she wasn't going to share hers. "Her lasts words was to never look back, and that she was proud of her own little brother." He paused again. Man, I feel so oc now. You damn author, why did you make me like this? (A/N: Excuse me Sougo?!)
Kagura sighed in relief, much to Sougo's curiosity. "She really loved you," she whispered. At least he got his final words from her. Mami never gave me mine. She only gave hers to Kamui.
"naaaa, Chinaaa, you still there? Stop going into your little world now. I told my story, now you tell me yours."
Kagura picked her nose, "Alright, alright, Sadist, don't rush me. A lady likes to take her time."
Okita looked confused, "Strange, I don't see a lady around here anywhere."
The Yato girl fumed. "KORAA, SADIST YOU BASTARD!" She took out her umbrella and pointed it at him. Okita unsheathed his sword, but stopped halfway.
"Oi China," he said.
"WHAT!" Kagura said, still fuming.
"Weren't we supposed to hear your story?"
"Ah."
. . . .
The two rivals reluctantly put away their weapons. Sougo was more curious to know about his rival, and Kagura wanted to keep her end of the proposal. The China girl and the Sadist continued to walk.
"My brother abandoned me with my mother while Papi was away."
"I already heard that part from chapter two." Okita deadpanned.
"Wait until I finish you jackass!" Kagura retorted. "Baka-aniki wasn't always like this. He never really liked our bloodline. Then suddenly, he started coming home late at night with blood on his hands. Every now and then there was a new look in his eyes. After that, the days got worse, and then, he decided to challenge papi." She paused and grinded her teeth together at the memory of her brother entering the house. The usual smile plastered onto his face, and her obliviousness to the blood on his clothes as he tucked her into bed. She didn't realized the walls he had been building up behind that smile ever since her childhood.
"He challenged Umibouzu? Your bald dad?" Okita questioned.
"Yeah. He ended up ripping of papi's arm. Papi would've killed him if I didn't grab onto his leg." She paused. "Then everything just happened. Mami's condition worsened, papi started his long travels, and Baka-aniki left the house to go train with Housen." Kagura sighed as she remembered his words, I have no use for weaklings.
"Your brother sounds like and asshole." Okita said. He felt strange because he couldn't relate to that with his sister.
"He is." Kagura responded. To her surprise, she sensed a bit of hate coming from the Sadist when he said that.
They continued walking. Okita was surprised that he didn't know how dysfunctional her family was. Despite the fact that he could relate to her, he thought that she was an open book that everyone could read into. Obviously, because this was Sougo, he didn't outwardly show his surprise.
Then, Kagura looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'm happy that I left the planet. I got to meet Gin-chan, Shinpachi, Anego, Soyo-chan, baa-chan, Catherine, Tama," She paused for a second, and the tax robbers, "I'm happy with my Earth family uh-huh." She turned around and smiled at Okita, which was a rare occurrence to him. However, neither of them knew that when they fight, they fail to notice the small curve that lined their mouths. Either way, Okita wanted to know more about her.
"Hey China desaa."
"Yeah, Sadist?"
"What do you think about your brother?"
"He's a shithead smiling turd who needs to get kicked in the crotch." Kagura deadpanned, and then paused for a long time. She looked up at the rival. "But I want to help him." She whispered.
Okita looked startled for a second, and then looked up, "Ah, we're here," he said. The China girl looked up at the shop that had the sign "Yorozuya Gin-chan" on it, and reluctantly left his side. Before she went into the apartment, she spun her head around at the Shinsengumi Sadist.
"OI GAKI!"
Sougo looked up.
"If you tell this to anyone your dead you shithead!" Kagura grabbed the sliding door. Before she closed it, she craned her head around to Sougo again. "And...thanks, Sadist." Courtesy of the dark, Kagura was lucky that the Sadist didn't see the tint of pink lining her cheeks. Okita was too surprised to utter a word to what he just heard. Either way, they were both thankful to have talked with eachother.
Once the China girl went into the apartment, Okita turned around, and walked away from Yorozuya Gin-chan. He could hear the glasses guy lecturing the female yato while Danna was surprisingly yelling at her too. "Ah," he remembered something, "I forgot to say thanks to her…"
Both of them seemed to want to know about each other more than before.
