"Now, should we talk a little bit more?", the shapeshifter came closer while Kamuis blood still dropped from their claws.

Okita couldn't believe what he saw.

The space criminal was dead.

There was no way that he had a hole this big in his chest and still be alive. What was that thing? He knew that Kamui was no easy opponent. They were fucked.

His gaze shifted to Kagura who just stood there with a shocked expression on her face.

"But do not worry, dear. It's still the two of us! You will be the new flower of Koan!", they smiled warmly.

The girl screamed. Then it happened.

It happened very fast but at the same time very slow.

The policeman watched as Kagura hunched over, on all fours like an animal and shot forward in a speed he never witnessed before. All he saw was a flash of red zooming towards the shapeshifter and the next thing was a fountain of blood and another deafening scream.

What the hell?

He tried to get on his feet but failed. His injuries made it almost impossible to move in the way he wanted. But everything in him screamed to get to the girl. He had a very bad feeling. This scream. It wasn't like it came from anything human.

The fight before him was a brutal blood fest. Even if he would get up he would only get in the way of the girl who just now ripped an arm off of her opponent.

He couldn't deny that on some weird level he thought that this was kinda hot.

Then he heard a soft hurtful moan. He turned his head and sighed.

Cockroaches really do die hard.

After a few more tries he got on his feet and walked towards the lifeless body of the pirate commander. He was in a rather bad state. Not to speak of the hole in his lower chest. He almost looked dead, only the whistling sound of his breathing indicated that he was still alive.

Unconsciously the policeman started grinning. That served him right. For a second he played with the thought to just leave him there but Kagura would later chew his ear off if he did so. So he kicked him in the face.

"Hey, space criminal. Still alive?", the Yato slowly opened his eyes slightly.

"Ugh… Is this heaven? Why is your face …the first thing I have …to see in the afterlife?"

"As if someone like you is going to heaven. Anyway seems like you got your ass beaten pretty bad, Mr. Pirate."

"Huh… This is nothing…", as he said this the Yato coughed up some blood.

He looked back to the other fighting Yato who literally turned the shapeshifter into minced meat. If he let her brother just bleed out here she would never forgive him.

How troublesome.

The earthling gritted his teeth and gathered all the strength left in his body and pulled the Yato on his back.

Every little hurtful moan from the other man was like ointment on his wound.

Even tough his own injury hurt like hell Okita only grinned brighter.

"What are… you doing?"

"Saving your ass."

"Why?"

"In the future I will ask you for a favor then you can repay this."

"Eat shit… and die…"

"No can do. There is something I have to do before that.", he stabilized the weight of Kamui on his back. He turned his head towards the girl again.

"Oi! Chi-", his voice died in his throat as the girl turned towards him.

Okita couldn't avert his eyes. It was like a traffic accident, he knew that this was horrible but could not bring himself to look away. Kagura looked like a complete different person. That smile send chills down his spine and his instinct yelled at him to grab either his sword or get the fuck away from her. Like in trance he tried to grab his sword only noticing that he was still carrying an immobilized Kamui on his back. With the Yato on his back his agility and fighting ability was heavily limited, not to mention his own wound. He played with the thought of just dropping the other man again and run off but figured that he may be his only way to snap the girl out of this state.

"Hey you bastard, what is wrong with her?", he growled.

Kamui made a sound that could be interpreted as a chuckle. The redhead slightly looked up.

"Run, you idiot. When she is like that... she is quite a handful and I'm not able to beat some sense into her... at the moment.", his voice was almost giving up.

Okita took a step back not leaving Kagura out of his sight. She still literally ripped apart her opponent, blood covered her face as she rammed her hand in the rip cage of the mutant, while giggling like a small child. He saw her fight many times, he fought her many times himself but he never saw her like that, that didn't made sense. Kagura was many things, but not a psychopathic, mass murdering bitch.

"What do you mean? Don't you Yato have some weird song you sing and everybody falls asleep?", he joked with a forced grin on his lips. He tried to calm himself, even if it is was trough some bad jokes.

"We're no Pokémon. We Yato are a warrior race, we fuel on war and bloodshed... my sister on the other hand continuously suppresses her true nature... I told you that she is always at war with the Yato blood inside her... and this is what it looks like when she loses... in this state she will only stop when everyone in her field of vision or she herself is dead... so I would consider running, when she is done with this thing... we're next."

Okita's eyes widened. He turned around and ran as fast as he could with Kamui on his back. He located a small kind of forest out of dry trees which was about six-hundred meters away. His heart ached when he thought about that he was leaving her behind but he wasn't planning on dying on this god forsaken rock in space, he still had to kill Hijikata and a girl to confess to. Even though said girl was the reason he was running away right now.

"You're saying this happened before? I never saw her like that!", he huffed, the wound on his stomach was widening again, he again repressed the urge to drop Kamui. But he knew that Kagura, if she ever became herself again, would scold him like an old hag if he did. No if, he thought. She would return to normal. She was just having a little tantrum, she was a teenager right? They were moody by nature. He gritted his teeth and continued running.

"Not personally ... but Abuto can share his experience... She wiped the floor with him once in Yoshiwara.", Kamui's voice became weaker.

"Hey Jigglypuff! Stay awake! I will threw you at your psychotic sister if you pass out on me!", Okita shouted at him.

Suddenly he felt the pressure of the air around him change.

An attack. Someone wad attacking him.

He tried to jump to the left but a jolt of pain mid air shook his body and caused him to lose his balance, making him fall on the ground and Kamui falling of his back. But it was enough to dodge the attack. About three meters next to him it looked like a small meteor just collided with the ground.

Kagura emerged from the crater while grinning at him. Up close he knew for sure, that this was not the China girl he knew. That was a wild beast. Her eyes were torn wide open and bloodshot, her grin looked like her baring her teeth at him, her blood sullied hands were bared to claws. Every muscle in her body was tensed, ready to attack him. There was no point reasoning with her. The only thing she thought about was to bathe in his blood and intestines.

"Run... you stupid policeman.", he heard Kamui, who was still laying on the ground

He knew that there was no point in running. If he would run Kagura would kill him. He stood up and drew his sword and pointed it at her. Okita felt his own blood wetting the shirt he wore. Here goes nothing, he thought. The Yato lunged at him and easily smacked the sword out of his hand. He grinned.

That's it.

Her true strength, without limiter. Deep down he knew that it would somehow end this way.

Getting killed by the Amanto girl.

He always noticed during their fights that she unconsciously held back, she chained herself. But now he would get the full package. Her smiling face, she showed him after telling she cared about him flashed before his eyes. Shit. And that right after he acknowledged his feelings for her. Time started to flow slower. He thought that now was the right moment for him to relive his life before his inner eyes and he grinned at the thought of being bored with it. It probably would only consist of a few faces. But he couldn't go without telling her. Her claws were only inches away from his face.

"Kagura, I lov-"

A wooden object collided with the girls forehead, the impact causing her to be pushed back several meters. Okita froze. A bokuto? Was that... He turned around. He would've recognized that head of silver permed hair everywhere.

"Dan-"

"RUN!", Gin yelled while running towards him.

He figured that later was a better time to wonder about how the silver haired samurai came here.

Okita turned around and saw how Kagura already got up on all fours, ready to attack again. Due to Gin's interference the girl was now far away enough for Okita to get to Kamui and grab him by the arm and and slung it over his own shoulder.

"Huh? Should I call you policeman-in-law now? I hope you can offer a dowry…", Kamui laughed weakly.

"Shut it! If you tell her I'm going to deny it.", the policeman growled as they escaped, just hoping that Kagura wouldn't remember a thing.

He looked forward and saw that the Yorozuya boss wasn't alone. The other two Yorozuya members, the glasses and the dog were there as well, together with Hijikata. A spaceship landed behind them. Did they jump out of that? He stumbled but caught himself, Gin was passing him, storming at the girl.

"Puberty, huh?"

"Tell me about it…"

Okita wondered what the samurai was going to do after throwing away his weapon. Was he going to fight her bare handed? A really, really bad idea. He looked back and saw an other man holding Kagura back with an umbrella. Abuto was clearly struggling.

"I'm getting some kind of weird flashbacks, little rabbit. Didn't you say that you had your Yato blood under control?"

The red haired girl laughed loud and snapped the umbrella in two. Just in time for Gin to reach his weapon and ram the handle of his bokuto in the girls stomach, hoping for her to pass out, but she only was pushed away from them.

Meanwhile Okita reached the rest of the unexpected reinforcement. He fell to his knees and Kamui fell of his back once again.

"Sougo, what is wrong with the girl? How did this happen?", Hijitaka pulled his subordinate on his feet again and noticed the bloodstained unfamiliar clothes the young man wore. Did he and the girl now were one of those disgusting couples that wore matching clothes?

"Long story.", Okita only replied while holding his wound.

"It's just like back then in Yoshiwara. We need to stop her! She is not only hurting others but herself too!", yelled Shinpachi while he tried to pull up Kamui.

Okita looked at the fighting trio. The glasses was right, her left arm was clearly broken, her face and hair was soaked in blood and her legs were also showing big bruises. But even with this injuries she didn't stop. She was going to break herself until there were no opponents left. He flinched. It was his fault, if only he was a little stronger…

"And how do we do that. China is in berserker mode right now, it's not like we simply can kindly ask her to stop.", he watched as Abuto somehow kicked away Kaguras legs making her fall back first to the ground. She hissed and got immediately up to launch another attack. Being stopped by Gins bokuto.

"And the only one who could've stopped her is kind of passed out over there.", he nodded at the unconscious Kamui, who Shinpachi was leaning at the wall of the space ship. Had this idiot to pass out now? He only hoped that his inhuman healing powers kicked in soon, so he could stop his sister. But even for a Yato he was heavily beaten up. Hole in his chest and all.

"Kagura, snap the hell out of it you stupid brat! I didn't come all the way here to fight with a moody teenager!", Gin yelled at the girl while holding her down with his wooden sword. She shot up and head-butted the samurai, making him fly several meters. Abuto caught him midair. Blood dropped from Gins head and he had to pull himself together to not pass out.

"There is no use in talking with her. The blood of the little miss is boiling right now and with the commander being out cold we can only hope that her body gives up before she will tear us to shreds. If only Umibozu was here, he could've beat some sense into his daughter.", the older Yato said grim.

"This baldy never had his children under control, as her earth father I'm taking over this responsibility."

Okita clenched his jaw. He had to do something. But without a weapon he stood no chance, Kagura would rip him in two pieces without a second thought.

"How did you stop her the last time?", Hijikata took the words right out of Okitas mouth.

"Er… I held her back and yelled at her?", Shinpachi answered.

The others went silent.

"Okay then off you go, but I won't be the one who tells your sister that she has to pick up your remains.", Hijikata said dumbfounded.

"I will go.", Okita said taking Hijikatas sword out of the sheath and stumbling towards the fighting ground.

"Sougo, don't be ridiculous. She will kill you. Look at her, she can't separate friend from foe. And don't make a habit out of stealing my sword!", he looked at the girl who just crushed the ground with a single hit right next to Gin, missing him only by an inch. She grinned like a maniac but even at this distance they could see that her other arm just broke as well. Okita flinched. He couldn't just watch anymore. He couldn't just sit there and watch her break herself apart. He run towards her.

"Stop it."

"I will make them all disappear."

"Stop it!"

"They won't take anything from me anymore."

"Stop it! Stop hurting them!"

"They took my family away."

"It wasn't them!"

"They will take something from me sooner or later."

"Stop, please. I don't want to do this."

"But I have to."

Kagura had to watch how her body smashed Gin to the ground.

"Gin-chan…. Please… stop it. I don't want him to disappear."

"What are you doing?"

"Stop it. Stop it please. Someone help me. I don't want this. I don't want this."

"….ina…"

What was that? An other voice.

"…..ting….ime… stupi…."

"Who is this?"

"It's him.", another voice spoke up.

She whirled around to look behind herself. Behind her, in a dark corner of her mind, stood a bed. A person was laying in it, showing their back and long red braided hair. Kagura walked closer.

"Mami. Am I dead?"

"I don't know, but some fool is coming to save you."

"Snap out of it, China!"

"Snap out of it! You good for nothing China girl!", he slashed her calve making her tumble to the right.

"What the hell are you doing? We are trying to stop her not to slice her leg off!", Gin yelled at Okita.

"This girl will only come back to her senses when she receives the beating of her lifetime! She is that kind of stupid blockhead!", the policeman twirled his sword and rammed it into her shoulder making her scream.

"And this is my job! So snap out of it, China!",he parried her hit and headbutted her.

She fell on her back. The Yato struggled to get up again. Okita took the chance to fixate her arms by holding them in place with his knees. He looked her in the face. Tears were welling in her eyes. But she still looked at him like a madman and tried to struggle free. The bones in her arms were crunching, the broken bones rubbing against each other. She screamed.

"I thought you were better than your criminal brother! But look at you! Only a fool would ever marry a crazy monster like you! You will die as a lonely virgin!", his breath was heavy but he grinned.

Abuto looked at them in silence, how in the living hell did he manage to hold down the girl? Meanwhile Gin was asking himself if he just witnessed a proposal? If Okita survived this he would have a long serious talk with him and Lake Toya.

Okita grunted. He felt that the blood loss was finally taking his toll, his vision went blurry. But he noticed that the girl was struggling less and less, tears were rolling down her cheeks. She didn't grin anymore. She looked at him shocked.

"Well, seems like I have to take you then…", he said before passing out. He heard her shouting his name.

"Sadist!", well almost.
