Hijikata woke up first, as expected. But he did not expect the first thing he saw to come up, or the second thing.

He was on the bed beside Kagura and this was already awkward to deal with. What was more awkward was that Okita was right there. Luckily, Kagura and the sandy-haired man were still asleep. Hijikata thought of this as a time to quietly slide out of the bed without making a sound.

"Oi oi, can you tell me what you're doing right now? Hi, fellow police officer that should just die." Okita opened his eyes slowly, he would go back to sleep if there wasn't anything eye-catching, but of course, this shit-uation would be more than just a simple eye-catch. Hijikata was still trying to remove himself from the bed quietly without waking up any of the two sleepers, but he wasn't successful as Okita just had to lift his shut-down eyelids.

Before Hijikata could explain his actions, Okita threw a pillow at him. It was as simple as that, but the throw was not as simple. It was the quickest throw of a pillow in the smallest distance ever, it was almost as if it caught on fire just like a meteorite flying towards the earth. Hijikata literally exploded. No chance of making no noises, as Kagura woke up.

"Good morni-?!" Kagura started off with a soft voice, but then as her eyes cleared up the blur, she was internally screaming at the top of her lungs. The guy she liked was in her room just about to kill Hijikata. She immediately woke up from the annoyances and had an intent to stop them. She tried to kick Okita in the guts of his stomach, but he noticed and dodged.

"Hey hey, you can't just hurt an innocent police officer trying to remain the peace here." A deadpanned voice was familiar, as it was, it was annoying as well. "Shut up, you damn sadistic freak, this is MY ROOM HERE!"

"Your room? Isn't this Hijikata-san's?" Okita replied with a chuckle that could be heard. Hijikata just nodded, not that anyone noticed.

"Oh yeah," Kagura responded with a confused expression. "How did I get here?" She was staying at a position to think, but someone stopped her process with his voice.

"This fellow pervert here was on the bed. With YOU. I'm just trying to stop a rape occur," The sandy-haired man was annoyed, too annoyed to give a proper explanation.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT. It's not what it looks like. You damn liar," Hijikata broke the sentence. The V-shaped haired man immediately explained everything in his point of view. Both had opposite reactions. Kagura didn't really care, but she was just awkward around Okita. She realized the whole reasoning of why she felt weird around Okita, and why she emphasized she was living with Hijikata. This girl, 4 years younger than this GUY, was in love with him. That was the only explanation for her feelings and actions. She felt more troubled than happy to realize this. The sadist was more of a rival to her, they always fought so how did her feelings surface? Maybe it was his own actions, his sadistic attributes affected her in a romantic way. At that point, Okita was still angry at Hijikata.

"How can I believe you, hmm..." The crimson-eyed man glared at the poor police officer explaining himself.

"Damn you Sougo, whatever," Hijikata didn't really have a care whatsoever. He knew he was probably trying to annoy him, and he glared back.

Kagura didn't know what to do in this situation, where the two men were basically having a staring contest, or more of a glaring contest. She thought of the best idea. Leaving was her "best idea".

"Well... See you guys later, I'm going to leave it to you guys," Kagura's hand waved out while jumping out of the window instead of leaving from the door. Of course, she landed perfectly, and decided to buy some sukonbu on the way, she didn't eat it for a few days so this was her chance.

Hijikata and Sougo remained dumbfounded as she left. "Well, I'm gonna leave to get a smoke, do your damn work Sougo," The larger sillouhette then left. It was cold, winter still remained. "Eh, I'll just go back to sleep," Sougo went back to the Shinsengumi, jumping out of the door, he landed well.

How does this gorilla jump out of the window in those revealing clothes in the freezing weather? Sougo thought as he ran to the Shinsengumi.

While Kagura was eating some store-bought sukonbu, she thought of a plan considering her feelings and Sougo's.

I should confess to him next week, before that, I must make a plan! This is going to be amazing! He would never reject me! Kagura thought, but she also realized that Sougo might as well reject her to begin with. And she didn't have a plan in the first place.

"How about I ask Anego?" The poor girl didn't know what she was getting herself into.

Kagura visited her closest "sister" and happily smiled. "Anego!" Otae was surprised to have her come in, and she greeted her politely, "Hi Kagura-chan, please take a seat". Her smile never changed.

"Okay, so what do you want to talk about? Is there something wrong?" Otae immediately asked Kagura since she never visited occasionally unless necessary after they both took their seats.

"Well... It's a bit complicated and weird... B-But I like the sadist..." Kagura blushed as she spoke but tried to keep her composure as she always had. "Oh my, Kagura-chan, you just realized?!" Otae screamed out her inner fangirl. "So, what do you need?" The woman cleaned out her throat and began. "I-I need a plan to make the sadist fall in love with me... I'm thinking of confessing next week or so but he's DEFINITELY gonna r-reject me."

"My my, that is a problem that does need to be solved... Hmm, let me think about a plan." The brown haired beauty need a moment to think. Kagura sat waiting nervously, she couldn't help but think she was pathetic for asking for help.

"If the sadist was here, he'd definitely despise me..." Kagura mumbled, and she thought Otae didn't hear. But Otae heard, and she was ready to slit the throat of the Sougo.

"ACHOO ACHOO ACHOO!"

"What's wrong Okita-san, did you catch a cold?" Yamazaki asked. Sougo had a cold face for a second, but then changed back to his usual expression.

"Nah. It's just sneezing."

Back to the conversation, where Otae finally made her firm decision. "How about we-" The brown hair was interrupted before she could announce her plan. A gorilla broke in from the walls. "OTAE-SAN! NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!" Kondo the gorilla went to hug Otae but she immediately punched him in the stomach where his guts almost popped out. They fought and fought, while Kagura was just watching.

"I'm gonna leave now, see you later! You can tell me the plan later. And Gori-san, you owe me." Kagura did her iconic wave while she was walking forward. "Oh wait! Then, I'll meet up later! See you Kagura-chan!" The female gorilla almost killed the male gorilla as Kagura paused to listen.

"Yeah yeah, bye Anego." After that, she left completely.

What should I do now, should I go to the sadist? Uh... Kagura was wondering what she would do now after everything. Eh, I'll just sit down. It'a a little cold. Kagura went to the nearest bench to rest, although it was winter and she was a lot more immune to it than others, she was still freezing with the revealing clothes she was wearing and her umbrella as usual. Kagura crossed her arms over her chest. As Kagura was only expecting a small five minute rest, she ended up dosing off to sleep. "Ugh. It's so cold..." As she woke up from the freezing weather, she recognized something, or... someone. "Toshi? What're you doing here?" Kagura received no response, she then realized he was taking a small nap. She also realized that there was a jacket over her, a Shinsengumi one, specifically. It was Hijikata's. She could tell that he was freezing in his sleep, while he was in an uncomfortable sleeping position that wasn't in contact with Kagura. Kagura moved closer to him and instinctively took Hijikata's jacket and put it both over them. She cuddled with Hijikata for more naps and she slowly dosed off from the warmth she received. (I really want to draw that, it would look really cute. If I have time to draw, then I'll try out the scene myself. Feel free to try drawing it yourself, send me the link if you want. c;)

Anyways, back to the story.

Kagura and Hijikata were in a comfortable sleeping position, so both of them slept generously. While they were still sleeping, a particular individual recognized them. "Oh wow. They're really a couple," The man mumbled...

(finished) who is the man?!

LOL JUST KIDDING I DIDNT CONTINUE FOR A WHILE SO LETS ENJOY SOME MORE SHALL WE?

Yamazaki muffled in his scarf, he decided to take a picture, and it was a nice scene that was pretty occasional. "I'll just leave now, I can't interrupt their comfort time," Yamazaki spoke quietly as he was just about to sleep. Until... A WOMAN APPEARED!

(now we're finished)

LOL JUST KIDDING PLS DON'T HURT ME I WAS KIDDING! NO CLIFFHANGING EVERYTIME!

"Oh my, are they sleeping? How picture-perfect." The brown haired woman took her camera (out of nowhere lol) out and took about 5,000 snaps. "Hehe. A certain someone will be jealous..." The woman chuckled as she left with her 5,000 photos. Yamazaki also wondered where she came from and what she was talking about but he had to leave and go to the Shinsengumi. Too bad Sougo didn't have a nice visual of the scene, but it was still better if he didn't, (or Hijikata-san would die) BUT he'll still see these photos. HEHEHE!" The brown haired woman giggled with her never-changing expression as she walked away.

Sougo was lazy as heck and was still sleeping. Luckily, he didn't go outside. "Eh... I'M SO BORED, WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO," The man shouted with his dead-inside voice. "EH. HOW ABOUT I GO OUTSIDE," he shouted in the same voice. He walked out of the door.

FLASHBACK - Luckily, he didn't go outside. HECK NO. HE DID GO OUTSIDE, oh no. - The author realized what she just did. oh no. oh no.

The sandy-haired man walked around outside where everything was covered in snow and frozen. He was going to go back, 'cause it was cold and all. BuT oH No. He JUST HAPPENED to see the two figures that captured his interest. Sougo, seeing Hijikata and Kagura cuddling together made him want to rule the world. Once he ruled the world, he would kill Hijikata. Too bad he didn't though. not. yet... The man went and got his hands together. He immediately moved closer screamed in Kagura's ear, she screamed back in surprise. She was shocked, and then she had to understand the situation first, but her head hurt from that scream... So she just had to...

"YOU BASTARD! YOU DON'T SCREAM IN SOMEONE'S EAR WHEN THEY'RE COMFORTABLY SLEEPING!" Kagura screamed back in anger.

"Hahhhh. Really." His apathetic face didn't seem to change one bit. But he was a lot more content when he was fighting Kagura instead of her sleeping HAPPILY with Hijikata. Unfortunately, Hijikata was awake. Anyways, he was already awake when Sougo screamed.

"Shut up! Both of you!" Hijikata shouted.

Kagura became frozen, while Sougo didn't change. "No, die first," Sougo used his dead voice to match his face. "HAH?!"

"I'll leave it to you Kagura, make sure you wreck his donkey," Hijikata patted Kagura on the head and left to do his work. Moreover, he didn't know that he was sleeping with Kagura, as he only woke up after the problem.

"Well. Sadist. What do you want. Leave or die," Kagura had her own killing voice to match her attitude.

"Ohoho? You think I could die? From a pig like you? Please, find another dream to come true."

"Oh really? My new dream that I want to come true is killing the you. Oh wait. It's going to come true right about... now."

Kagura didn't waste any time to fight. She got her trusty umbrella and shot some bullets away, to Kagura's expectation, he dodged them all.

"Sorry, in my nightmares China, I can't possibly die from a gorilla that stands on two legs."

A vein popped out from the vermillion-haired woman. The two fought for long. Almost two hours. It was a painful scene at the end. They both were still tied, and they fell to the ground due to their exhaustion. After a few minutes of silence while the duo lied down, Sougo lifted himself up first. Kagura went to say something on instinct instead of him leaving completely. "Wait!" Sougo paused and turned around. "What China," they both were in a complex situation. Kagura forgot about the conversation with Otae. She completely went full-offensive.

"Sadi- S-Sougo, I like you. P-please d-d-date me..." Kagura realized what she just said but she couldn't change what she said.

Sougo was surprised. For a second, his face went frozen, with a shocked expression, not that Kagura realized though due to her embarrassment. he just made up an answer quickly.

"HAH? That's disgusting China, no more joking. Why would I want to accept a confession from a sukonbu-glutton that is a gorilla that walks on two legs?! Really, ew. And you even said my name. L-O-L"

Sougo responded as quick as lightning with a reply that matched his personality. The sandy-haired man thought that since she was his rival, she would be joking. If he responded seriously, he might as well be humiliated. Anyways, Kagura never said his name which surprised him the most. But he internally clapped for her in the moment. She said it so seriously that he almost believed her. Well, Sougo thought that her taste in jokes and puns would kill him, but this one was just weird. It had a serious atmosphere... But he actually would be happy if- WAIT. HAPPY? IF IT WAS WHAT?

Before Sougo could think a little more, the girl spoke.

"HAHA! You really think that I would confess to you? Just kidding man, even saying your name wanted to make me vomit. Ugh, to believe you actually replied like that, thanks for the entertainment, well, my mouth still feels disgusting from saying your name so I need to fill it up with sukonbu! See ya Sadist." Kagura spoke a little fast but Sougo could still understand what she was saying. It really hurt him when she said saying his name made her want to vomit. But he didn't realize that it hurt her more than he could ever imagine...

TO BE CONTINUED

A/N: I am so sorry that I couldn't upload in a while. I had trouble with my laptop and had to get it fixed. I can understand your troubles as readers who like to read my fan-fiction.

Anyways, I'll try to upload normally. At least every week.

This was a longer chapter to make you guys feel content after all that waiting. Feel free to write reviews and comments, and criticism really does help me also with some advice. I enjoy being artist more than being a writer, but I totally am impressed in myself for typing this.

BTW- I tried to make the typing more stuck together instead of spaced because it seemed like some of you didn't like it. I already have a plan for everything, and Sougo's jealousy is a bit hard to work with lol. Nonetheless, I enjoy his jealousy, and YES! There will be more rivals in the future. But for who? I already gave you a hint anyways oof.

Throwing all that aside, thank you for reading. Now, what do you think will happen with Kagura? c:
