CHAPTER 3

"That stupid perm…..hic…..head. I will kill him next time I see him. How d-d-dare he ki-ii-sseddd me…." Hijikata was drunk and furious, and err…. Drunk. He swings his sword in the air… "take that ya permed bastard. Go to hell.

Flash back

" Big warm hands held his head in place and warm moist tongue licked him all over his lips and forcefully entered his mouth when he gasped. The kiss was hot, breath taking and Hijikata wasn't able to help but moan. The moan encouraged Gintoki more and he plunged his tongue more inside this throat. Hijikata's eyes begin to water and tears rolled down his cheeks. "What is happening to me?" he thought. " why am I feeling this good with this permed bastard's kiss? And why the hell is he kissing me? Is he drunk? Am I drunk? I have to get away. My senses.. he is taking control over my senses. Get away from him Toushiro. This is dangerous" Despite his thoughts Hijikata couldn't move and inch. "I think I am in love with you Hijikata" whispered a husky voice in Hijikat's ears. "What?... err…humph" and the mouth was onto his again. The confession seemed to woke Hijikata's sense up and he pushed Gintoki with his full might and ran away with a flustered face. He went to a bar and drank all he could trying to rationalize his brain (or the opposite). He wanted to take his mind away from Gintoki…. "What did he said? All I asked him why was he following me every night. His house is the other way as far as I remember. Why take the long route towards his house? Did he just said he l-l-likes me?! why would he fall for me? A man? How can I act that way?" was all he could think about.

End of theFlash back.

Which led him into this drunken state. Hijikata staggered along the walls on the street. It was late at night and streets were empty. 1 or 2 drunken old men were present lying on the road or puking their guts out. "That idiot white headed bastard…. I am to blame… It is my fault that…."

" I think so too Shinsengumi's vice commander Hijikata Toshiro kun" A sly voice sent shivers down Hijikata's spine. " It is all your fault for having such a pretty, defenseless face that people start kissing you… and your ah-so-bashful reaction leads other on. You should really take responsibility *snicker*."

"Who…who is there?!" Hijikata looked back towards the voice but he couldn't see anyone.

"I am here Hijikata kun" same sick voice came out. Only this time it was near him.

Hijikata felt a hand on his shoulder and his waist, removing his sword. "My sword"

"Who are you?" Hijikata felt himself becoming sober and rational.

"Who am I? Oh my Hijikata kun you have hurt me real bad. Here I will let you see me and then tell me who I am. Ok?" Saying this the man grabbed Hijikata's chin and yanked it backwards. Seeing the upside down image of a dangerous man sobered Hijikata up even more and he tried to get himself free of the dangerous man and despite his drunken attempts he succeeded (or may be other man let him go willingly)

"Takasugi Shinske. What the hell are you doing here?" Hijikata gritted his teeth, his 6th sense telling him to leave despite his pride. "Wait is he… no that cant be. Why would he have such interests in hosts? But if he really is involved then I should…"

"Hehehe don't be so uptight hijikata kun. I was just taking a walk. Then I saw you talking to your lovely self. I thought we should walk together. Kabukicho streets are getting dangerous these days. Who knows what might jump you if you walk alone. Let me protect you.'

"Who would want your protection." Hijikata aimed his fist at Takasugi's face to distract him while his other hand moved to snatch his sword from Takasugi. But his drunken state put him at disadvantage as Takasuki easily grabbed his hands.

"Let go of me you sick bastard." Hijikata tried to pull his hands but all in vain. "Tch this bastard is strong and I am drunk. Its all that perm head's fault that I let my guard down."

"Hehehe you hurt me Hijikata kun. Why do you hate me so much." Takasugi pouted. "Come on let me play with you. You let Gintoki play didn't you?" "he licked Hijikata's neck"

Hijikata's eyes got wider hearing that. He now was panicking. "I have to get out of here." "Let me go. I wasn't playing with anyone. Let me go you bastard." Hijikata kicked Takasugi's leg which earned him a wince and Takasugi's grip on Hijikata's hand got weaker. Hijikata took this opportunity to get his sword back from Takasugi and unsheathed it. "don't you dare move Takasugi Shinske. It was your mistake that you targeted me. I will arrest you today and this will be your last day as a free man."

"hehehe I like that look in your eyes Shinsengumi's demon vice commander. Lets see what you can do huh!"

…..

A groan escaped from Hijikata's mouth. "where am I? Argh my head is killing me." He tried to touch his fore head but a sharp pain shot through his arm. "ARRGHH what the hell…." Events of last night start flashing through his mind.

sword clashed with sword . "wooww vice commander kun you are getting slower and slower by minutes."

"damn it why the hell is he so strong" hijikata thought while blocking a hit from Takasugi's sword. "hehe don't get carried away you serial killer. I WILL defeat you." Grinning Hijikata retorted.

In reply Takasugi laughed. "oh and this is fun… I was getting bored being a good business man. Then I found you… The beautiful vice commander of Shinsengumi and my old comrade Gintoki. Hahahahha now show me what you have got here Hijikata kun!" Saying that he attacked Hijikata. Hijikata blocked it, but he didn't saw the dagger coming from the other side.

"argh…." Hijikata didn't drew back but only glanced at his wounded arm.

"Hahahah what lovely cries you have there. Cry more more and more. Call out for Gintoki."

"What does this guy want from Yorozoya?" Hijikata thought to himself.

"Argh" another blow on the same injured arm drew a cry out of Hijikata's mouth. This time he couldn't help but draw back to clutch his injured arm. "It hurts like hell" he thought. He tried to ignore the pain and lunged forward again, this time only to be knocked down by Takasugi's punch into his gut.

"Oomph"

"tch tch is that it Hijikata kun? I thought you were going to entertain me more"

"you..*pant* bastard… what.. what "

"Oh you mean it is working already? Oh my hahahah I just dipped the dagger in paralyzing poison. Never knew it work this fast" he pulled Hijikata by his good arm.

"Let ….*pant* go of me… Hijikata tried to struggle.

"how cute.. you stuggle like a girl. Now now stop struggling and be a good boy" he threw Hijikata over his shoulder.

Like Hijikata would let Takasugi take him away. Who knows what sort of miserable play that twisted guy is going to play with He struggled and pulled Takasugi's hair.

"Argh. Didn't I tell you to be a good boy?! Stop struggling you are making me angry" But Hijikata didn't stop. He kept on pulling Takasugi's hair with his remaining strength which earned him a growl from Takasugi. He threw Hijikata on hard ground ruthlessly and stomped on his injured arm. "Now look what you have done. I am mad now"

"…argh…." Hijikata Gritted his teeth and tried to move his leg to run.

"Na-a-a-aa! You can not run away Hijikata kun." He held Hijikata' foot and stabbed it.

"ARGH… you… baasttard"

"I told you to be good boy but you didn't listen. Now its your own fault." He picked up now lifeless Hijikata again. "let's get to know eachother well Hijikata kun."
