Everyday Diary


Arrested


Prompt: "cop/person getting a speeding ticket au"


"Oi China, show me your license."

This guy was seriously into her.

It had been the third time since he had stopped her and asked for her license, and in all honestly, Kagura was getting tired of dealing with him. It was one thing to get stopped once, then twice, but thrice?

This tax robber was slowly getting corrupted by the system.

"You've stopped me three times this week. What the hell's your problem?!"

His blood-colored irises gave no indication of what he was thinking, but she knew how his mind worked: it always went sadism overload, especially when it came to her. "First, you're speeding—"

"… I was only going at 80!"

"—speed limit is at 40, but whatever, you probably bribed your way into getting a license."

"Why you…!" she was just about to grab her umbrella and whack him good until his next statement.

"And second of all, you're not wearing a helmet." he deadpanned. "It's against the law to drive the Boss' scooter around without any helmet, and you know it. Why do you think the Boss and the Glasses always wear helmets whenever they ride the scooter in the opening themes?"

Crap.

She had been in a rush this morning that she forgot the most important thing when she got on the scooter: her helmet. The goggles were now hanging around her neck after he had stopped her, but her helmet? Sitting prettily by the entrance of the Yorozuya office.

Hell, this was one last shot. "B-but bike riders don't need helmets—"

"You're confusing bicycle with motor bike, China. Cyclist may or may not need to wear helmets. You're riding a scooter, and the law states that you need to wear a helmet when you drive around." he chuckled mockingly at her priceless reaction. "Don't bother trying to get your way out of this. Speeding violation, and now, the helmet violation? This is the best day of the week so far."

Shit. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT…!

She knew Gin-chan would not have the money to pay for her fines; he never had enough money, that lazy bastard. Hell, he doesn't even pay her and Shinpachi their well-deserved allowance and—

"Oi, don't space out." he called out, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"… How much do I need to pay anyway…" she mumbled, defeated, knowing that she couldn't get out of this, even if she tried.. and evenif she tried to sweet talk her way out of her violations, the super sadistic policeman would just shoot her down.

"License first, China, then we'll talk." he said seriously.

Sighing, she retrieved the small plastic card from the front compartment of Gin-chan's scooter and handed it to him.

"… Looks like everything's in order." he shrugged. "You're twenty years old?"

"What's it to you?" she snapped.

"Oh, nothing. You look like an old hag right now, so I thought you were older." he dodged a kick that she aimed at him. "Tsk. Now you're assaulting an officer. Another violation."

"Just tell me how much I owe you so I can pay the damn the thing." she gritted out. She wouldn't be able to pay this instant, but she would at least save up for it, and that meant cutting back on her sukonbu. "And we can be off to wherever."

Two days of encountering the sadist was okay, but a third time?

It was not doing any good to her mental health.

"If you insist."

Kagura expected him to whip out a memo stack that listed all of the possible motorist violations and for him to start jotting down everything.

What she did notexpect was him suddenly pulling her close and kissing her on the lips.

The gesture rather shocked her; what the hell was he playing at?!

Just before she could push him away, he did, and he gave her a smirk.

A huge smirk, if she had to accurate describe it.

That stupid smug grin that she wanted to rip off his face.

"Don't forget your helmet next time, China. And slow down; you might get hurt. Next time, you won't be so lucky with the other police officers." he then turned around. "Consider that as my warning." were his final words before walking away.

Warning to what?!

The only thing that she managed to yell out after recovering from the shocking gesture that just occurred was, "He-he-health me! Police! Some sadist just sexually harassed me! Pervert! Arrest him!"

She was not in the position to complain after he had let her off with two major violations, but still…!

That stupid jerk…!

She was tempted to chuck her goggles at him, but knew it was going too far; the consequence of throwing things at him might actually lead to an arrest, and the female Yato was not going to surrender the opportunity he gave her.

With that, she made a vow.

He was so going to pay next time.

She'll make sure of it.


Notes:

Let's make this quick and as tolerable as possible, as this will deal with terminologies.

Speeding violations are taken seriously in Japan. Speed limits vary, but there are signs that indicate the speed limit for a city.

Not wearing a helmet while riding a scooter/motorbike = major violation.

Then this part:

"B-but bike riders don't need helmets—"

"You're confusing bicycle with motor bike, China."

The Yowamushi Pedal fans know this already (if there are any of you who watch that series), but in Japan, they call bicycles 'jitensha' 「自転車」. Calling a vehicle 'bike'
「バイク; baiku」 and saying it to a Japanese will make them assume that you're talking about motorbikes/motorcycles. Very complicated, this whole language thing, especially if you're familiar with English.

As said by Okita, you'll notice that in the anime openings of Gintama, Gintoki and Shinpachi are actually wearing helmets… and never without them. (If they did, I didn't notice it.)

Lastly:

A scooter license can actually be obtained as early as 16, but I made Kagura 20 years old here… just for the simple reason that it's the legal age in Japan. [if you know what I mean. Age of consent, however, is a different story altogether, and will require another fanfic].


Hopefully, that was better than the other one. Till next time!
