Chapter 2: A Maiden's Purity
"HEY, KAEDE!!!" Kagura yelled in the morning while they were getting ready.
"Owowowowow loud!!!" Gin yowled in pain.
"Yeah, Kagura?" she popped her head around the door.
"We're destroying some monster mud wasp eggs this morning. You wanna help?"
"Oh, HELL YEAH!!!" she laughed.f
"Is your sister… All right?" he asked, scared.
"She loves to train her martial arts. She might be even stronger than me."
"Oh… Crap…"
"All right Kaede, jump on Sadaharu!" Kagura smiled as she jumped on the barking dog. Kaede nodded and tried to hop, but the dog was too big.
"Here, ready? I'll give you a leg up." Gin placed out his knee for her to use as a stepstool.
"Are you stupid?! I can get on a horse! This is…!" she tried to squirm up, but fell back down, "No…! Problem!" she fell down on the ground panting.
"Come on. Kagura sometimes has to use my leg too, even though she's tall." He put out his knee, and she hesitantly placed her foot on it. As she lifted onto the dog, it made her feel good to be supported by someone. There was someone to catch her when she fell down. There was someone to watch her.
"Thanks…" she blushed out of embarrassment and shame. Gin was an OK person, she figured that out. But OK wasn't good enough for her "goddess" of a sister, Kagura.
"Well, I'll take my bike there." He pulled the strap on his helmet snug, and kicked his leg onto the silver bike. Sadaharu started to run through the streets with Gin on his bike next to them.
"Onee-chan…" she whispered to Kagura.
"Hm? What's wrong, Kaede?"
"I'll try… To accept you and Gintoki…" she sighed.
"Thanks Kaede," Kagura smiled, "You know I still love you so much. You're my only sister. Our bond might be stronger than that towards mom and dad."
"Thanks, Onee-chan…" she hugged tighter against her back, feeling the warmth of her sister that was still the same from their childhood.

"Wow…" Kaede gasped, "That's a lot of mud wasps…" It was true, all the wall dimensions had at least one cocoon on them, and the headquarters was pretty big. Also, the trees outside also had some.
"It's gonna take a while." Kagura sighed, "Mud wasps are dangerous and hard to remove. You have to do it just-"
"Haah!!!" Kaede smashed her fist into one. It shattered into little shards, and the wasp died as well, saving Kaede from any kind of sting.
"-right." Kagura finished her sentence.f
"The Shinsengumi's gonna help out too!" Toushi told them.
"Ah. How rare." Gin said calmly.
"IT AIN'T RARE, DUMBASS! WE ALWAYS HELP OUT!!!"
"Ah, Hijikata-san." Okita's voice said.
"What?!"
"I let a wasp escape." He said plainly, and an ugly bug chased after the vice-captain.
"Now I'll get to be vice-captain." He said calmly.
"Oh my god!" Kaede laughed at his sadist attitude. He looked over at her strange reaction. She should be freaking out or yelling, he thought.
"Well, now that I've removed the WASP from this planet, OKITA! …Who's the new girl, Gintoki?"
"Ah, she's here to visit me for my wedding. She's my sister, Kaede."
"Very nice to meet you." Kaede bowed politely.
"She's cute!" Yamazaki smiled, and all the other cadets looked at her pervertedly.
"Where's the next mud wasp?" Gin looked around and saw a few on trees outside, "Kagura, Kaede, since I'm a regular human, I think I'll work outside where there's less, but could you guys handle the inside?"
"Roger!" Kagura smiled and ran to get to work.
"Stupid Gintoki, ordering people around… Sougou!" Toushi yelled at Okita, "Be partners with Kaede and take out mud wasps in the first sector."
"You mean the showers."
"YES! YES I MEAN THE SHOWERS! NOW GET GOING!!!"
Kaede and Okita walked into the showers room, which was FILLED with mud wasps, about one on every shower. Kaede took off her sandals and went into the first shower.
"Haah!!!" she slammed her fist against the mud cocoon again, and another wasp died. Okita, on the other hand, took out his secret weapon. A bazooka. He blasted it on the wall, and the wasp died. Since the Shinsengumi knew Okita did this a lot, they had strengthened the walls so they wouldn't be damaged. Okita's sadist instincts kicked in. He wanted the girl to be hurt, but instead…
"Hahahahaha! That's so cool!!!" she laughed. He felt a twitch in his head. She wasn't annoyed?! He was pissed. He had to find a way to make her cry. Kaede kept slamming her fist against the wasps, and the died one by one. Finally, she reached the last one curled up in a bath tub.
"All right!" she smirked, "Take this!!!" she pounded her fist once, and it was gone.
"Watch out." Okita lifted up the bazooka and shot it at the bathtub.
"Kya!" she peeped as she jumped into the bath to avoid the bazooka. A ring of victory went off in his head, but before the last echo sounded from the bell…
"Hahaha! What the hell?!" she laughed, "That was so cool!" In irritation that she wouldn't get mad or cry, he turned on the water in the tub. The lukewarm liquid spilled down her skin and clothes. Down her royal tube top with Rairai Chinese swirls on the top border, soaking her Chinese Capri pants of the same color, and through her raven black hair.
"The water feels nice." She smiled and told him softly.
"Why won't you cry?" he put his hand at her chin.
"I have lots of sadist friends back home. I'm used to it."
"Oh?"
"Yup." She nodded, and Okita smirked.
"What if I steal something from you?"
"Like wh-" she was silenced by his lips muffling hers.
"Mmph…!" she pushed his lips off hers as quick as she could, "What the hell are you doing, you bastard?!" she yelled and tried punching him in the face, only to be grabbed again.
"I stole your first kiss, didn't I?" he pressed his lips against hers again, "And that's the second."
"Get off me!!!" her face went red as she punched him again.
"I found the way to annoy you~" he stuck out his tongue.
"Stealing a maidens purity isn't teasing anymore!!!"
"Purity? But…" he put his hand to her back and plucked the strap at the back of her clothes. She peeped a little at the pain of her bra strap coming back at her skin, "I haven't done THAT yet."
"YET?!" she blushed and started to freak out, "Get off!!!"
"Geez, don't kill someone. I was kidding." He chuckled.
"I don't like you!" she yelled at him.
"Oh? That's too bad," he licked his lips, "I like you very much."
"Eh?!" she blushed furiously.
"I think I'll be following you for a long time." Even though Kaede was going back to her home planet soon and she could shake him off, the thought made her shiver.
"Hey," Gin talked to Okita out on the porch, "What's up with your perverted attitude towards Kaede?"
"You saw?"
"I was passing by," he felt the wind through his hair, "Is it because she looks like Kagura?"
"She's fun to play with."
"If you're actually going to fall in love with her," Gin stood up to go to Kagura, "Then think of her as only Kaede, not someone else." Okita thought to himself about the matter, but could only think of how he wanted to tease Kaede even more.
"Let's have some lunch." Kagura smiled and put out picnic blankets for all the Shinesengumi, "I made lots of food!" Everyone, no matter if they were against the government or not, took a seat and ate.
"Ah, she's becoming more wife-like now!" Toushi laughed and took a bite of chicken.
"By the way," Kagura looked at him, "Did something happen between you and Otae? She seems depressed." Toushi put his beer down on the ground and thought to himself.
"So, Gintoki, you've gotta invite me to your wedding!" Toushi smiled at Gin.
"You won't arrest anyone, will you?"
"Who do you think I am." Toushi glared.
"If you won't, then sure, come, you're invited."
"I'll make sure to bring a present." He laughed and patted the groom-to-be on the back.
"Hey, Kaede, what's wrong?" Kagura patted her sister as she looked down.
"Oh, it's nothing." Kaede shook her hands, "I'm just a bit tired. Mr. Kondo?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you mind if I took a bath in that big tub? I'm a bit cold."
"O-Oh sure! Go ahead!!!" he thought his nose would explode.
"Thanks. I'll see you in a sec!"
"You wanna go take a look?" some of the Shinsengumi whispered, and many of them walked off, saying they were tired or needed to do something. Okita looked up and snuck away without anyone seeing.
"What is he doing?!" Kagura whispered to her fiancée.
"Maybe he's taking a peek?" Gin took a sip of beer, "But probably not. I think he's got something else in mind.
Oh my God… Okita's so out of character… Oh well. How else would I make him fit? Otae and Toushi?! What are you thinking, Ameyoke?! …Lots. XD I think a lot. It's in my nature. But so… What do you guys think of Kaede? I like her. I think if she ever entered the anime… She'd be voiced by Nana Mizuki. Hands down. Speaking of which, I wish Elemental Gerad went on longer. What a great anime… Too short, though. They needed to follow the main storyline. Although the ending was cute… Sorry, off topic. AND YES, THIS CHAPTER IS CORNY!
