CHAPTER 10.
The best way to learn about someone is his past, so if you don't have pictures just go back in time.
For the first time in her life Kagura was sitting formally, her legs bend under her, back straight and hands on her knees as she looked at the four people sitting beside and in front of her in the same room. One of them was someone she has never met before, but apparently this woman, with gentle smile and same features as Sadist, was her rival's sister.
But what bothered her was not that, it was the other three men sitting in front of her and looking at her. She knew who they are, China knows it pretty well, but she's just not able to cope with their past looks, yet.
Apparently the present that Gengai send to Aoi work well and now Yato girl was in the past. But it was not just any past; it was Mayora, Gorilla and Sadist's past. Sadistic Captain is actually younger than her right now, which is good, Mayora has a long hair, well he is still frowning though and Gorilla… well Gorilla is… Gorilla is a Gorilla, like always.
"Oh, I see, so you came from the future Kagura-chan, how exciting." Mitsuba smiled at Kagura gently.
"Haha…" Kondo laughed hands crossed over his chest. "Isn't this great Mitsuba-dono, maybe we should ask her to tell us something?
"I'M NOT A FORTUNETELLER YOU *beep* FOR A BRAIN GORILLA." China shouted.
"No, we shouldn't trust this brat, she doesn't look like someone from the future. More likely she is a trouble maker." Hijikata said with calm, but somehow annoyed face at Yato girl.
Toushi was sitting on the furthest corner and relying on the wall while holding his sword put vertically, his frown as always on his face.
Kagura's left brow twitched as she jumped up shouting. "SHUT UP YOU DAMN MAYORA! WHAT'S WITH THAT DAMN LOOK? WHY DO YOU HAVE A LONG HAIR? ARE YOU A GIRL? WERE YOU A WOMAN BEFORE? DID YOU DO AN OPERATION? YOU SHOULD TELL KYUUBEI ABOUT IT SHE WILL BE HAPPY!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BLABBERING ABOUT, BASTARD? I'LL KILL YOU!" Toushi shouted jumping up with more anger marks on his face.
"Now, now Toushi calm down. She is a kid and she is probably a little scared for suddenly being here." Kondo smiled troubled trying to calm his friend down.
"You're not the one to talk Gorilla." She looked at him with annoyance. "WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT LOOK? YOU'RE ALREADY IDIOT, STALKER AND UGLY LOOKING IN THE FUTURE, BUT RIGHT NOW… You're… You're…. YOU LOOK MORE LIKE A GORILLA THAN EVER!"
Gloomy aura fell upon past Gori as he was trying to hold back his tears while mumbling. "I'm sure she is just scared… I know she didn't want to say those words… She is just a kid…"
"Oi, China girl is that how you talk with someone who's trying to be nice to you." Little Sougo said with poker face looking up at her.
"YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON TO TALK, SADIST!" China shouted at the guy. "WHY DO YOU LOOK SO CUTE? WHY DO YOU ACT CUTE? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR CHARACTER? WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS BOY THAT HE BECAME THE IDIOT PRINCE SADIST IN THE FUTURE?" Kagura finished with frustration, but then glared at them as she said. "Honestly, did you suddenly go through a genetic change as soon as you reached Edo or something? What the hell happened to you?"
Mitsuba chuckled. "You're so lively Kagura-chan, but I think you should calm down and explain to us something, right?"
Kagura stopped looking at the sand haired girl and sit down somehow not having any intention to argue.
"Now then since Kagura-chan will be our guest for a while, we should treat her well, ok?"
"Leave it to us Mitsuba-dono, right Toushi?"
Hijikata rubbed his neck. "Whatever."
"I'll treat her well, Aneue." Sougo smiled at his sister.
Mitsuba smiled back at her younger brother and stood up. "Good then, I'll go make some tea, so we can have a long nice chat."
As soon as the said girl left, Kagura slapped her hands against the table coming face to face with Sougo and glaring at him. "Who the hell are you, bastard? Who are you trying to fool? What the hell did you do to my rival?"
Sadist returned the stare. "Is your head ok, idiot? I don't know what you mean by calling me a Sadist or telling that I'm acting, but do that again in front of my sister and I'll kill you."
Kagura showed trolls smile. "Oh, so you have a sister complex, huh Sadist? And here I thought why you remind me of my baka-nii."
Sougo jumped over table trying to hit her, but she just dodged it like he always does when she gets angry and attacks. "Don't even try Sadist, you're a weakling. In the future I always beat you up and you run home crying. Now I'm older than you and way cooler."
"In your dreams, dumbass!" He grabbed a wooden sword jumping her and Kagura pulled out her parasol starting a battle.
Well, it was not their usual battle, since she was holding back, because he was a brat. But it kind of made her happy, not only the fact that they would end up as rivals be it the past or the future, but the simple fact that she is able to break that poker face of his so easily right now. Whatever happened to him in the future made him the way she knows him, King of Planet Sadist, but right now he is a "Sadist in Development", so she might as well use it.
In a second they were in the garden, this battle was childish, since there weren't any high kicks, bazookas or bullets, but it was a simple sword… well, more like sword and parasol battle.
"Haha… they get along pretty well…" Kondo laughed as he and Toushi watched the battle.
"What part of it looks like they get along. With them like this I'm sure that future is hell… for me." Hijikata bites down his lip glaring at them.
Gorilla patted his friend on the shoulder. "Oh, Toushi, don't tell me you're jealous because Sougo is now more interested in her than fighting you."
"Like hell! Let them just kill each other."
Sougo tripped Kagura jumping on her to hit, but she quickly shifted changing their positions. She crashed little Sadist down and pointed her umbrella at him when he tried to stand up. "I win!"
Okita smirked. "Of course, since you can only defeat me when I'm younger than you. I'm sure in the future it's you who's always under me, ne China?"
Vein popping out on her forehead she wanted to shoot, but suddenly realizing that he won't be able to dodge, she instead swing her umbrella trying to hit him, but he reflected her attack with his wooden sword and jumped back preparing to attack.
"Not bad for a brat. Well, I would expect no less from my rival." China smirked.
He arched a brow. "I don't understand why you keep calling me your rival. You're so weak that there is no way I'll ever recognize you as one. Are you a stalker of some kind?" This time it was the little Sadist smirking.
"I'll kill you, Sadist!" Getting more annoyed she jumped attacking. Honestly, how in the world does he always manage to piss her off?
"Sou-chan? Kagura-chan?" Mitsuba called from inside the room and in a minute both kids stopped their fight instead both standing straight beside each other facing the house like two soldiers standing in front of their general with their weapons hidden behind them.
Mitsuba came out to the garden. "Oh, what are you doing in there?"
"I was showing her around, Aneue." Sougo smiled throwing his sword to the pool and running to his sister.
Kagura shook her head and approached the two as well. "Did you need something Mitsuba-nee?"
"Oh, right, I was going to go shopping, so I wanted to ask if you two would like to keep me a company? Besides, it a good chance to show you around, right Kagura-chan?" Sand haired girl smiled.
Both nodded, but as soon as Mitsuba turned around, they glared at each other. "Get off China, it's my time alone with Aneue, don't drag along, idiot!"
"Go to hell Sadist! She wants to show me around, it means you're on the way." Kagura stick her tongue out running after the Okita female, Sougo following.
Market place.
"So Kagura-chan, tell me a little about the future." Mitsuba asked smiling as the trio was walking in the market place.
Kagura looked up at the sky considering. "Well, I pretty much said everything. I'm the Queen of Kabuki-cho, everyone love and respect me. I'm strong and cute, so I'm the main heroine of Gintama. Plus, I have an Anego who keeps all the men around her, especially Shinsengumi in fear."
"Boss Lady? What an interesting person?" Sand haired girl ask.
"Yeah, Anego is really cool and strong. And she is really number one Boss Lady. I want to be as strong as her when I grow up." China's eyes shined with enthusiasm.
Mitsuba chuckled. "I would like to meet that Anego of yours once. She seems like an interesting person."
"Don't believe her Aneue." Sougo cut in. "She is obviously lying. How can an annoying brat be the queen of something and beside's there is no way that kind of woman even exists, no one can keep Shinsengumi in fear especially if I will be in it in the future."
Kagura glared at her young rival. "But she does exist Sadist and you fear her no less than others. That idiot Gorilla commander of yours is in love with her and is stalking her, you're always trying to kill Mayora to take his place, so if not for those time killing traits of Shinsengumi that Gorilla-sensei puts on only because yorozuya is finished with cool stuff and there is some remaining pages, you guys won't appear for almost 15 episodes and no one even notice."
Vein popped on Sougo's face. "It's just that sick imagination of your working China bastard! There is no way those kinds of things are possible. Kondo-san is not a stalker and I don't try to kill Hijibaka, yet."
"YOU JUST CALLED HIM HIJIBAKA! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'YET', SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY PLANING IT? Who are you trying to fool bastard? As soon as your sister turns her back, you take out a bazooka and shoot." Kagura shouted.
"I don't have a bazooka, dumbass." Okita retorted back.
"You will!"
"Kagura-chan, Sou-chan, you're too loud." Mitsuba said from way behind them standing in front of the stand with fruits.
"Sorry." China sticks out her tongue to her little rival and run towards the Okita female. "Do you need help, Mitsuba-nee?"
"Tch." Sougo clicks his tongue with annoyance as he scratches his head. "I need to teach her a lesson she will never forget."
As Okita Sougo jr. was thinking that, three men catch his eye. They were obviously some punks from the gang that's been going around their town and scaring everyone, well there was nothing for him to fear since these guys are just scum and weakling, but he could think of a good way to use them.
As a little brat who has yet to actually meet Kagura and learn of her Yato side then become her rival, he didn't know what he was doing. Well, revenge is sweet, so who cares.
Okita smirked and approached the said men. The punks glared at him as Sougo looked at them with innocent, curious eyes.
"Ne, nii-chan, that girl with orange hair…" He pointed towards Kagura who was standing in front of another stand away from Mitsuba. "She said that you good and cool onii-chan's are jerks, idiots, morons, pedo's and that if she had a dog who gave birth to ugly hybrid and who also gave birth to even more ugly hybrid and then she gave birth to one eye, one leg, one ear puppy, she would not let you even close to it. And that you smell bad, oh and most important your dressing style, is disgusting."
"Huh?" The three leaned over him with fake gangster faces.
"It's all her, I like you. I think I will be a gang member like you onii-chan, too." Sougo said deadpanned with fake smile of excitement.
His plan was a success he realized when those three idiot punks walked towards Kagura. They surround her smirking. "Ne, Ojou-chan, we heard you have been saying some pretty nasty things about us."
"Who the hell are you, brat, to badmouth us, huh?" One of the men made a gangster face coming onto China girl.
Kagura arched a brow at them wanting so bad to beat them up, but decided not to bother with this weaklings, since it will cause trouble for Mitsuba. She waved her hand in dismissal as she said with bored voice, just like Gin-chan.
"Go away, punks. I don't have time for you. Go play somewhere else." Yato girl looked at their hairstyle and snickered. "Or kill your barber."
"What did you say?" The young girl's arrogance annoys the three as one of them grabbed her collar. "Want to die, bitch? Do you know who we are?"
China looked at them with dead fish eyes; she was imitating Gintoki and pretty good too. "Don't know, don't care. But is picking on innocent little girls is a hobby of yours? Disgusting." She raised her hand to her mouth and fake shouts. "Help~, help~ this perverts are kidnapping me."
"Shut up!" They shouted realizing the deadly stares of the people.
"You shouldn't get involved with people like that Kagura-chan, it's wrong for a lady." Mitsuba smiled at her as she was now standing beside the Yato girl.
"You're right, Mitsuba-nee. This guys are not even worth my attention."
Getting more annoyed one of them shouted. "Don't you dare to look down at us!?" And the three charged.
"Damn it! Aneue!" Sougo shouted, not expecting his sister for his sister to be involved. He wanted to run towards them to interfere, but before he even moved the punks were already beaten up by one and only Kagura.
Kagura put her umbrella over her shoulder looking down and unconscious bodies. "Don't underestimate the Queen of Kabuki-cho, bastards!"
"Kagura-chan you're really strong." The sand haired girl smiled.
"Of course, Anego says that women has to take care of themselves. Men are useless and we don't need them." China smiled superior.
"I hope I meet your Anego one day, she is quite an interesting person." Then the older sister looked at her brother who was looking at them with a little surprised face. "Why are you standing there Sou-chan? Lets go."
The two girls walked away, with China sticking her tongue out to Sadist as she passed by.
Damn it! That bastard knew it was I! The young boy thought.
"If you want to defeat her, you'll need a better plan than that." Someone with a deadpanned voice, that reminded his own spoke from behind.
Little Sougo turned around to see a young man with sand hair and crimson eyes, same as his, wearing a Shinsengumi uniform standing behind him. The guy scratched his head looking down at the boy with poker face. "I can't believe I was such an idiot when I was a brat. Is this what Bakaiser feels when he sees me?" Sadist said looking at his younger image, which was staring at him with pissed eyes.
"Who the hell are you?" Sougo demanded.
Sadist smirked. "I'm you fairy God mother, and I'll help you to defeat that girl."
"Why?" Okita asked suspicious.
Another grin came from Sadistic captain. "Because I can't let an idiot like you to ruin my reputation as her rival and as a King of Sadists."
Back to present.
Bakaiser was sitting in some café eating his Udon, when someone sat on the table behind him. Feeling the kill intend from that person, Sougo grabbed his sword ready to draw when man said while smirking.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Sougo Okita. If we start our little battle here, those innocent children celebrating their birthday or that couple, everyone in here might get hurt. You wouldn't want that right?" Fox smirked when he realized that Sougo actually did look around the café realizing that it was full.
Putting his sword back he returned to eating his Udon. "You have some guts to show up like this behind me. I can kill you right now."
Fox smirked. "But you won't right, Sougo Okita? First of all you want to know what I'm planning, as a man who's past, present and future I have learned, I know that you're not going to do anything unless that gives you a benefit. Second, being a good guy character, in your own twisted way, you wouldn't dare to fight in here and hurt innocent people, so that it will ruin your reputation."
"What do you want?" Okita asked with annoyance.
"I want to play a game with you. Same game that you played on me."
Sougo smirked looking from the side of his eye towards the man. "A game? Are you really that stupid to challenge me again or did you forget what happened the last time?"
Fox grinned. "I'm just as much stupid as you're since you left me alive even after everything that I did." Sougo twitched in his place and the man continued.
"Everything is different now Fox."
"I know, I know." The masked man shrugs. "That's why I want to play this little game with you. If you win, I'll disappear, but if you lose…" He smiled like a devil. "Look under your table."
Frowning with suspicion Bakaiser searched under the table with his hand not moving from his spot and being on guard against his enemy sitting right behind him. Spotting a convert stuck on his table he tear it off and opened it. There was a picture as he set his sight on the image Bakaiser's eyes grew wide and he turned around fast with fury drawing his sword and ready to cut the man in two.
"Are you going to risk her life by doing this?" Fox smiled stopping Sougo by raising his finger in "wait" sign. After taking another sip from his coffee the man stood up and turned to his enemy with an evil smile. "If you so much as touch me, I'll order my men to kill her for sure this time and then the bomb in this café will go off. I will escape, but you and those children, I don't think so."
Okita gripped his sword tighter hardly holding himself from cutting the man as he glared at Fox with mask with fury. "I'll kill you, bastard! Let her go!"
"I will, if you win. I'm giving you exactly 36 hours, that will start…" Masked man looked at his watch. "In 15 minutes. If you're able to find and kill me by then, then all is good, you're a hero. You, your wife and little sadist daughter will live happily ever after together, but if not… History will repeat itself."
Fox started to walk away. "Back then it was you who took away everything that was important to me, this time I'll destroy everything that you love, Sougo. I'll show you what hell really looks like." The said villain left the café.
As the door closed behind the Fox, in fury Sougo swing his sword with some much anger that he cut the table and the seats in one slash. "DAMN JACKASS! I should have killed him when I had a chance!" Bakaiser gritted his teeth.
His phone ring, Okita sigh calming down a little and sheathing his sword, since people all around him were so scared they were ready to call the police and he so much didn't wanted to deal with any more idiots right now. He took out his phone from his pocket and answered already knowing whom it was.
"Nii-chan, you're just on time. Looks like we have a problem in our hands, the kind that you will enjoy."
Kamui talked smiling. "The kind with lots of killing and blood, sounds fun. So what is the problem?"
