Not Dating –Date

Kagura was spying a bald cook while she was eating with both hands.

A Client of the Yorozuya had asked if they could find out this bald guy´s backgrounds. This shady guy, her target, was a middle-aged dude who was working at a sushi restaurant.

Kagura couldn´t complain. Her client was paing well and the job was rather easy. On top of all, she got free sushi because the client gave her money for food. It would´ve looked weird if she didn´t order anything at the restaurant.

Gin-chan and Shinpachi were at home at the moment. Those lazy ahos.

Kagura finished her meal. She burped loudly.

´As sophisticated as ever, I see, miss pig´, a monotonous voice commented next to her.

Kagura turner her head and saw Okita Shougo standing next to her table.

´Go away, stupid police! ´

´If you´re done, go away yourself. I need to sit here, other tables are full´, Okita pointed out.

But Kagura didn´t leave. She wanted to stay longer (it´d mean more money).

´No !´ Kagura snapped.

´Then, I´ll join you, China pig´, Okita said and sat on the other side of the table.

Kagura looket at him angrily.

´Stop joking around ! This is my table ! ´

´Don´t be stupid, you don´t own this place nor this table. And furthermore, I´ve a job here. ´

´No, I have a job here! ´ Kagura remarked. ´And you can´t know if I brought this table here.´

´What, you count eating as a job? ´

Kagura tilted her head and whispered:

´I´m spying someone. Please don´t interfere. This is Yorozuya´s gig. ´

´You´re the worst spy ever, ´ Okita commented. ´You shouldn´t tell that you´re a spy. And those sunglasses... Pfft.

But… Actually, Shinsengumi is also interested in this place. There might be something criminal going on.´

Okita looked suspicious. But well, he looked always suspicious.

´We´ve a same target? ´ Kagura whispered. ´Are you joking? ´

But then a waitress came to their table. Okita ordered a large portion.

´Shinsengumi is paying´, Okita explained with a smile. ´Put the check on Vice-Commander. ´

´Understood. Have a nice date! ´ a waitress said happily.

Kagura looked after her with an embarrased face.

´a Date?!´ She yelled. ´With him ? NE-´

Okita slapped his hand in front of her mouth.

´Shut up, don´t draw attention for us´, Okita snapped. ´That´s actually quite an idea. We´re on a date. ´

Kagura was mumbling and looking at him with terrified eyes.

´Yes yes, I hate that as much as you do. I hate you, big. But that cook is leaving soon. We can follow him if we pretend to be lovers on our way. ´

Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lovers?!

Okita released her.

´Fine! But this is not an actual date! ´

´Yeah, I don´t date pigs. ´

´And I don´t date stupid sadists! AND…´

And she had only once been on a date, and that didn´t end well (that guy was an alien prince and their date destroyed almost the entire Edo).

´It´s decided, then´, Okita concluded, ´we´re on a date, but not dating. ´

A waitress brought his sushi on the table. Okita continued talking :

´This is a one night stand. ´

´Shut up ! ´
