-Taaa-daiiiiimaaa~
If Kamui had previously suspected his sister to hide something from him, her overly cheerful behavior wiped out his doubts. At least, she really seemed to have recovered from the last day and right now, that's all that mattered to him.
-Welcome back sis'~
After losing his mother from an illness, he didn't want to experience the same pain once again with his little sister, moreover when he had finally admitted to himself how important she was.
Even if in the meantime, Kamui had made a long way to reach a top rank amongst villains, when he was younger, the Yato had always deeply cared for his sister Kagura, taking care of her while their mother was stuck on bed.
Despite the new lust for blood awakened by his own weakness and anger toward their father always roaming in space, his real self was still here, well hidden within the darkness of his heart.
-Did something good happen? He asked.
Thinking back about the great idea she had earlier, she smiled up to her ears.
-Huhu~ I won at Uno~ she giggled.
-Earlier-
-You need me…? Had asked the Captain to her, narrowing his eyes. Really? And what someone like you could need from someone like me?
A mischievious smile appeared on the girl's face.
-Let's play Uno! She cheered.
Sougo blinked.
-Huh? U-Uno?
Taking advantage of his lowered guard, Kagura rolled on her side to be on top of him again.
-I challenge you to a Uno game!
He gave her a blank stare.
-Did you hit your head so hard when you fell that you lost the little brain you had?
-I' m serious, stupid!
-Oi! He grumbled. Who are you calling stupid?
Kagura didn't listen to the man's muttering and instead, sat cross-legged on the tatamis before to shuffle the cards.
Pushing himself away from the floor, Sougo watched the girl. Where did she even got those cards from?
-Did you come all the way up here just to play Uno?
-Yup~
One of his eyebrow rose.
-With me…?
-Yup.
His two eyebrows rose.
-For real?
-Huhu~
The hell was that? First she tried to emasculate him in his sleep, next she almost allowed him to fondle her breast and more, and now she wanted to play Uno with him?!
-There's definitely something wrong with you, he sighed.
She stopped her moves to glare at him.
-What? She launched. You don't wanna play?
-Of course, I don't! He sniffed. Why would I?
Kagura had expected this outcome before coming here and everything was going exactly as she had planned.
-Listen, Sadist.
He crossed his arms, waiting for another crazy explanation from another crazy alien.
-The loser will be at the winner's service for a whole week.
As expected, that revelation seemed to have caught his full interest.
-Means that if you win, I'll obey each and every little wishes of yours~
Of course, Sougo wasn't dumb. The prize seemed way too good to be true, all the more when added to the fact that she had come up to his own personal room especially to make that kind of bet...
-What is it that you want, China?
She averted her eyes.
-I-I don't know what you're talking about, she sweated.
He smirked.
-Heeeh... Are you such an M that you want me to toy with you for a whole week~?
Approaching his face closer to her, he whispered:
-Or perhaps you'd rather have me be your toy instead, huh? Which one is it?
-Don't think of your dreams as mine! She retorted, disgusted.
His eyes rolled.
-What I want is…
She cleared her throat.
-Different.
-Oh, really…?
-Absolutely, she replied with a quick and simple nod.
Now she had caught his interest. What did she want so much from him -that she obviously didn't want to say- for her to use such a low tactic that could end up being her utmost loss?
Well, whatever it could be, she didn't seem to be scheming something worse than he would have thought if he was in her place.
-Allowed. He announced. Let's play Uno! China~
~…~
-YESSSS!
Jumping on her feet, Kagura pointed her finger at him.
-You lo-ost~ and I W.O.N~
Sougo sighed. How annoying could be that girl?
At first, if he had agreed to play with her, it was more to discover her plans than to win. Besides, he had always been quite good at Uno and didn't even consider the possibilty to lose -moreover against her- but now... he was upset.
-What now? Did you really think that I would be your little dog for a whole damn week? He mocked.
Getting up on his feet, he added:
-I don't have the time for that.
-What?! You dare say that to me when you slept the whole day doing absolutely nothing?!
-It's one of my few days off and—
He sighed.
-…whatever.
As he was about to leave the room -and the girl at the same time- Kagura was boiling with rage.
-You didn't even listen to my conditions!
-Yeah and I won't, deadpanned Sougo.
-You-!
How dare that bastard turn her down after accepting the challenge? How dare he lie to her? How dare he crush her hopes with so much indifference?!
"No…!" As if she would let him!
Abruptly, she swept his legs away, making him fall backward.
His head and back hit the floor with a loud thump and he groaned in pain while checking his skull.
Pushing himself away from the floor, he glared at the Yato, but she quickly stepped on his chest and forced him to lie down.
-The hell are you doing?! He shouted.
-You're a fucking coward.
-Wha-?
Pissed off, she spat her words at him.
-You? ド S? Don't make me laugh! You're no Sadist, you're just afraid to lose your petty control!
She laughed nervously.
-What a man you are! A proud samurai from the Oh so famous Shinsengumi running away, the tail between the legs rather than facing a girl younger than him! HA HA! What a joke!
He didn't say anything, his expression unfazed while she resumed her speech.
-And here I thought you were a worthy opponent! I thought you were someone I could count on, someone I could give my trust to, but… How wrong of me!
He knew she was the kind of girl to bark easily, but somehow, her anger didn't seem like the previous ones...
Then, he noticed how her furious look became sowewhat hurt.
-You fled like the little coward that you are…
Staring down at him, Kagura gave him a wry smile.
-I'm… so disappointed… she whispered softly.
Lifting her foot from his chest, she turned away and stepped back.
As he watched her hair trailing her moves, he realized that she had never once looked at him with such eyes, as if he was the last hope on which she had bet everything she had.
Still lying on his back against the tatami floor, Sougo turned his head to watch her putting her boots. Seating at the edge of the porch, the Yato was turning her back to him. Seriously, what was wrong with her?
-What is it that you want? He asked.
She stood up with her back straight and, without even looking at him, she replied:
-Will you have 'time' on tomorrow evening?
Although she couldn't see his face, Sougo blinked incredulously.
-Huh?
-Tomorrow! At 6pm! You're free or not?!
-Um… yeah, I guess I'll be-
-Meet me at the Kabukicho Park, then! She ordered. And don't be late!
Without waiting for an answer, Kagura walked through the grass before to jump swiftly over the high stony fence as if it was child's play.
While Sougo was frowning, trying to understand what the hell had just happened, the Yato was back into the street, smiling up to her ears.
-The day after-
-You're already here?! She exclaimed, somewhat impressed.
-Yeah I'm here, he grumbled. So what now?
-Let's fight!~
He blinked.
-Huh?
-I said, 'Let's fight'
-I did hear, thanks! What I wanna know is why I should fight with you?
-Oooh~… You don't? She inquired.
-That's not the question, he muttered. I had a long day at work, but still managed to come at your little 'demand' and now you want to fight?
-Exactly.
He shook his head.
-I'm way too tired to play your games anymore…
Sougo turned away, about to go back to the compound when she called out to him.
-Wait!
-No, I won't, he answered without turning back.
He was going away and if she couldn't stop him now, Kagura knew her only hope would disappear along with him.
-Please! She begged. I really need you!
"Please? Really need you?" That was interesting for once...
He stopped and turned on his feet, waiting for her explanations.
-I want you to help me training, she confessed.
-Train? Me? What about Danna?
-Well, it's a bit complicated, but… I can't ask him right now… she voiced awkwardly.
-So, instead of asking me directly you planned this stupid Uno game yesterday so I would have no choice but to agree, right?
-Would you have agreed if I had asked you directly? She asked, hopeful.
-Hell no! He snorted.
-Tch! I knew it!
-So? Why me? And why would you need to train, anyway?
-I…
She hesitated. What to say? Knowing him, he wouldn't let it go until he'd be satisfied.
She needed to be stronger and that's all she would agree to give as an explanation.
-I once lost the control over my Yato blood, she explained. I was a real monster, back then…
Though he wanted to comment about her being a monster since the beginning, her serious face stopped him to do so.
-I was about to kill someone when Shinpachi held me back. The worst is that I didn't only want to kill that guy, I wanted to tear him apart, to bath in his blood…
He had no idea something like that happened... How funny, he thought. While she was an Amanto born to fight with enough strength to crush a man's skull, she had never wished to kill or even harm people, not once.
He, on the other hand was a mere human born with no strength at all, and among the two of them, Sougo felt like he was the only one being the real monster.
How many people had he killed by now? How many times did he shower under one's blood?
Unlike her, killing wasn't something that repulsive to him. Actually, he loved the thrill of the battle. Perhaps was it because he was a samurai? Or did he become a samurai especially to slice some fresh meat...?
Quietly, he listened to her.
-Lately, I felt… strange, she confessed.
-You are strange, he deadpanned.
-I'm serious! I'm… I'm afraid I might lose my mind… I can't let it happen ever again!
-When did it happen the first time? He asked, seriously interested.
-About four years ago… In Yoshiwara…
-Yoshiwara? He chimed. Did some geezer mistake you for a prostitute or what?
She gave him a look which clearly expressed her thoughts.
-Okay, he pursued, why did it happen, then?
-I coudln't keep up with another Yato... I was weak and powerless. It was so frustrating! And I felt it… the break of the chains, the call of blood…
-So, basically you want me to help you, by fighting, he pointed out, in order to control yourself?
-I need to get stronger.
-Don't you have plenty of friends to help you with that? He complained.
-I don't want to play, I want to fight. For real, she added. And I need someone able to beat me for that…
Really interesting. She was willingly acknowledging the fact that he was one of the few people able to compete with her strength?
Seems like she was growing, after all...
~…~
Kagura's blows kept coming at him. He managed to dodge her moves, but felt how strong and serious she was. The more he taunted her, the hardest it became for him to avoid being hit. She was quick.
He tried to stay focused on her powerful fists and destructive kicks, but if he admitted that she had grown into a rather beautiful woman, she was at her best when fighting.
Her gracious body jumping in the air like a pantera on a hunt, her legs and arms moving as if she was dancing with the wind, her long vermillion hair flowing like waves of fire and her vibrant blue eyes shining with fortitude... she was truly gorgeous. But that, he would never say it, not to her, not to anyone.
Despite her speed, the wide range of her legs allowed him to get a glimpse of her panty through the high slit of her dress. Because of that, she managed to land a hit on him, though he pared her attack. She grinned.
-You're lacking concentration, Sadist~
He clicked his tongue.
-Not my fault, you're wearing my favorite color of underwear~
She flushed red. Red like her panty.
-Shut up, you pervert!
-Heeeh… I am the pervert now? Why don't you try wearing leggings for once, huh?
Sougo assumed that the girl would be so upset that today might be his last one on earth. Yet, her embarrassment seemed to get the better of her and he didn't have to dodge as she simply missed.
Why did he feel kind of happy to know that he could shake her like this? Perhaps because he actually wanted to shake her heart? To appear in her eyes the way she was appearing into his?
She was way too disturbed and he felt it in her blows. She was hasty and too predictive. He loved to see her so troubled. That's why he waited for her obvious kick to come.
And it came. He blocked it and grabbed her ankle in the process.
Panicked, she tried to use his grabbing hand as a springboard to throw another kick with her free leg.
He guessed her next move and pulled at her joint, bringing her closer to him.
She expected him to shove her leg away, making her fall on the ground, but he did the exact opposite. Pulled strongly toward him, she hopped awkwardly as she couldn't step back and finally bumped his chest, ending into his arms.
Of course, she quickly pushed herself away from him and punched his face, but he caught her clenched fist and crushed the two of them against a tree.
She moaned in pain when her back hit the hard trunk and glared at his eyes shining with an unknown gleam. While her fist was trapped into his, she tried to free her thigh which he was firmly holding against his waist.
Both panting from the fight, their breaths were mixing together. He was thrilled to feel her body so close while she couldn't struggle.
She was both excited and frightened to lose against him. When did he gain such strength?
-Let go, she growled.
-Make me~ he smirked.
Pushing herself away from the tree, she wanted him to step back and lose his balance. Alas, he griped her thigh stronger and crushed themselves harder. She hissed.
-What stupid game are you playing, Sadist?! She scolded.
She was right. What was he doing? Somehow, he couldn't stop thinking that she, trying to break free from his grasp was... arousing.
-This is no game, China.
-Let go! I don't wanna dance Tango with you!
-Sorry, can't do~
-HAH?! And here I thought you were serious… You're the worst! She barked.
-Oi, oi… Is that how you learned to say 'thank you'? I am serious, you know?
-Let's fight, then!
-Actually, you just gave me a better idea…
She gulped. What kind of creepy scheme was he thinking about?
-W-what is it?
He tilted his head and whispered in her ear.
-When you'll win and beat my ass… I'll tell you.
Then, he let go of her and slowly began to walk away.
-Time's up for today! Try harder next time~
Kagura was speechless. What was that?
And also angry. What the hell was that?
As well as frustrated. What the fucking hell was that?!
But above all... she was... excited. Her body was burning and her heart beating like crazy.
Silently watching him going back, she waited a moment to regain her composure before to go back home in her turn.
Seriously, the hell was that?
ド S (Do S) japanese expression to call someone "an S"
Fufufu~
So? Did you enjoy it? Were you disappointed because nothing more steamy happened between those two?
MWAHAHAHA!
Sorry guys, it's still too soon for that~! Nyark nyark nyark!
What? U mad bro? XD
