Sanitary Pad Gone Wrong?

Kagura is experiencing every girl's enemy-- dysmenorrhea.

"Dammit." A certain vermilion head cursed under her breath. Her porcelain face is twisted in pain and a light coat of sweat is visible in her face.

Kagura is experiencing dysmenorrhea.

You know what sucks though? Gin-chan and Shinpachi are out for a boy's out and they deliberately left her to fend on herself for three days. Talk about bastards.

It's not like she is dependent on the two men but her dysmenorrhea is such a bitch and she can't even move an inch if it's her first day. It's just so happens that she run out of pads and now she's struggling to get one. If the two Yorozuya men were present, she would have make them get her sanitary pads but now that she's alone, it proves to be a challenge even to a girl with monstrous strength.

"What are you doing bending over here, China?"

"Huh?" Suddenly, all the pain she's feeling had vanished for a moment before she realized that she's in an embarrassing situation with the last person she wanted to see.

Oh, talk about her lucky day. She thought sarcastically before turning her body behind to face her eternal rival-- Shinsengumi's First Division Captain, Okita Sougo.

AKA her policeman boyfriend.

"Sadist..."

The sandy haired man looked at her weirdly. Who wouldn't look at someone bending at a department store aisle? Especially if the said person is your girl.

Kagura noticed that he is dressed as a civilian today and then remembered that it's his day off.

What a great timing to see him.

You must be wondering why she's so bitter after seeing the policeman. Well, to explain things, they had an argument last two days ago that ended up with them not talking to each other the next day and the day after it. She even blocked his phone number from her phone. That's how vexed she is at him. She's not going to elaborate the reason of their fight word by word but it's about their less time together.

She said something about it, he said something about what she said, she got annoyed, he got annoyed, they started arguing. The next thing they knew, they were walking away from each other.

Now that she thought about it, she realized it is mostly her fault for being overbearing sometimes and the Sadist is finally fed up with her behavior that's why he finally snapped at her. Being a person with a high pride than the Edo terminal, she refused to apologize to him and even an idiot can guess that the Sadist is still pissed at her.

And now she's in an embarrassing moment with him. She cursed Shinpachi and Gin-chan inside her head. If only they're around, she's not in this situation. She's not ready to face the flaxen head yet.

Yeah, totally Patsuan and Gin-chan's fault.

"You look like you're about to faint. What's wrong, China?" Although Okita looked like he is annoyed at seeing her in his free time, the concern in his question could still be heard in his voice. Or she's just being delusional.

She saw the subtle movement of his fingers tightening their grip on the handle of his sword. He usually does that when he is ready to attack someone or when he is trying to control himself.

She swallowed a groan when she felt her stomach cramp is getting worse. She turned away from him and used her last strength to reach the pack of sanitary napkin from the display. After successfully getting the product in her hands, she turned her head and replied to him: "None of your business." Then turned to walk away. Clutching her stomach.

She thank the heavens that the department store has less population at this hour or else someone will surely see her little drama. Other customers give her questioning looks as to why she's walking while grimacing and clutching her stomach. She must be a sight.

Well, you can't blame a girl for having a period because it's part of being a female. You can't blame a girl when she's in pain from her period. She can grimace if she wants to and people have no right to judge her. Who wants to experience a dysmenorrhea? No one.

She's almost at the cash register when she felt a strong arm snaked its way around her waist. Her eyes widen and her heart starts beating fast.

"What the--"

The next thing she knew, her back is against an almost empty aisle of detergent products and her arms were on a certain policeman's neck and the said policeman is busy kissing her lips like the bill is due tomorrow.

Before she managed to say something about what the hell is going on, his tongue slipped inside her mouth, deepening their kiss. Her eyes widened. The kiss is slow and... airtight (A/N: I'm blushing, I could feel it. ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ) . Their noses would brush against each other when they would angle their heads for better access to each other's lips. They're so close. His body heat makes her calm down. She could feel her stomach cramp changes into an elephant stomping cramp. Her fingers found its way to his collar, subconsciously pulling him more to her. (A/N: *flips table and runs away* ( -_-)—) She moaned when he slipped his free hand inside her dress and started rubbing her stomach. Each rub felt hot on her skin and her pain gradually subsided until she could only feel a slight ache.

When their kiss is finished, Sougo put his forehead against her. "Feel better?" He asked softly, his voice is full of doting. A total contrast of his sharp crimson eyes that is staring at her shocked, cerulean ones. He leaned his head away from her face before swiping his hand on her forehead that is coated with sweat and then put his forehead against her again.

Heat started to spread on her face when she realized they just kissed. She's sure as hell she's blushing furiously right now. She looked away shyly but replied "Un." Her voice is barely a whisper.

"Look at me." He said and she slowly turns her head at him. Reconnecting their foreheads against each other. His arms locked her waist against his torso (poor girl had to tiptoe coz of their height difference) and he shifted his body so the petite woman was trapped in his body. What's the use of avoiding him any longer?

"You're not overbearing." He stated firmly. His eyes are searching for hers. Kagura's eyes felt watery all of a sudden. Dammit, she's not ready for this. Why do this Chihuahua have to confront her in a department store of all places?

"You hear me, China doll? You're not overbearing. I'm sorry for snapping at you like that the other day. Sorry." He insisted when his girl still refused to look at him properly. He could feel the rapid beat of his heart. He really screwed up big time. Okita is used to her confident self. This Kagura in his arms right now is a silent and vulnerable.

Kagura blinks the tears that wants to escape from her eyes. This sadist is apologizing that caught her off guard and she didn't know what to do. The emotions she bottled up is starting to crack and she doesn't want to cry in a place like this. Maybe if she's not in this ridiculous girl's day, she'll have enough strength to push this policeman and runaway from here.

"I..." she tried to talk but found that she's speechless at the moment.

"I never meant anything I said to you that day. I was just burnout from work. Sorry, okay?"

Finally recovering from her stupor, the girl said: "No, you're right. I am overbearing. You don't have to apologize for stating the obvious." She looked down, feeling ashamed and hurt at the same time. Ashamed because of her attitude and hurt because of the memory of how he snapped at her. Either way, she's at fault. He won't snap if she had just shut up that day.

"China..." Okita sounded frustrated. He badly wants to take back what he said to her that made her feel insecure. He is still not finished kicking himself because of it. He wants his old, cheerful, and noisy girlfriend back.

"You should not force yourself to deal with me. I understand that you're annoyed with me." She grumbled. Her arms loosens from his neck.

Okita sighed and hugged her tightly and mutters in her ear: "I was calling you but you never picked my calls. That's why I was so annoyed. If anything, I was afraid you'd dumped me by now. I never see you at the regular places but I don't have the guts to go at your house so I gave Danna and Megane a trip tickets so we can talk privately."

Heh.

She can't help but chuckle at his admission. Kagura lifted her head and looked at him knowingly. "No wonder the tickets specifically said 'boy's out'."

The sandy haired policeman looked at her face with a guilty smirk. "Yamazaki's idea. I'm sure Danna won't suspect anything."

Finally feeling relief, Kagura returned his tight hug and whispered in him too "I was wrong too. I should have apologize after bitching at you. Sorry, Sadist." Her cerulean eyes twinkled in an unshed tears.

"You don't have to. It's your right to bitch at this incompetent policeman. Don't hold back." He shook his head. Kagura looked at him with a small smile on her face. She shook her head mutely while staring at the handsome face of her boyfriend.

"I'll unblock you now." She blushes after hearing how childish she sounded.

It's Sougo's turn to chuckle now. "Hai, hai."

"I miss you." She admitted, kissing the exposed skin of his hard chest.

"I miss you more." These four words are accompanied by four, hard kisses on her left temple, left cheek, lips and neck. She can't help but giggle when his stubble brush against her skin. He needs to shave.

The couple stayed like that until they had to break away. People are starting to come at the isolated part where they've been, much to their chagrin. But then again, who told them to reconcile romantically in a department store?

Kagura is feeling a little better after their short confrontation scene. Walking hand in hand, they left the department store after paying for her pads. The officer never let her go even when he insisted that he'll pay and when he was looking for his wallet in his pocket. Some of the women gave Kagura looks of envy and she avoided their eyes, feeling embarrassed.

Blushing, she glared at the flaxen head when she felt his big hand slipped inside her clothes again to rub her aching stomach. How can he put on a poker face while his hands are busy doing something? They are now outside and the chances of people seeing their PDA is 101%.

"Why you-- Sougo, we're in public!" She whisper yelled. She tried to remove his arm around her but he tighten his hold on her.

"They won't notice." Okita argued. Still rubbing his hand on her smooth stomach.

"Stop it. I'm fine now." She reassured the man but all she got is a light tap on her stomach under her dress.

"Anyway, what were you doing at the department store just now?" She asked curiously, trying to forget the fact that his hand is on her stomach. In public.

"I was on my way to the Yorozuya house when I saw your pale face grimacing on your way to the department store."

A secret smile tugged at her rosy lips.

The end.

A/N: Don't you love it when you read an OOC OkiKagu? Hihihihi. I don't know what's gotten into me with "okikagu and department stores reconciliation" (I'm looking at you "Lip Gloss Gone Wrong") hahaha it's just that one day I got inspired by writing a story showing Kagura is just like any other girl out there. She suffers from a dysmenorrhea too.

This was supposed to be a funny reconciliation but the moment I wrote the "none of your business" part, I can't control myself and had to give in with the potential fluffiness lmao. I decided right there and then that I'll show a childish but insecure girlfriend and a yearning boyfriend. Charot!

Anyway, I hope someday I can find a doting man that cares for me when I have dysmenorrhea too because ghorl, it hurts like hell. We need an emotional support to get through it. Ahahaha.

Thank you for always reading my stories even though it has multiple issues with grammar, typos, and misspellings.
