She looked down with shock at her chest.

It was plunged deep into her torso.

"Shit! I-it-IT WA-WASN'T MY FAULT! OH GOD-"The man's curses were reduced to stupid mumblings and soft sobbing's "What have I done-"

The girl wasn't paying any attention; she clawed at her chest as she collapsed to the ground. Her hands came back wet and covered in thick warm liquid that was seeping out becoming a never ending flow of crimson.

"It's not my fault, it's not my fault, IT'S NOT MY FAULT" The man backed away slowly looking at his hands in horror.

The girl tried to deny the fact. She tried to deny how fatal the wound was.

"I can live. This can't stop me." were among her thoughts but she knew herself that this was something she could not survive. It was too late.

She wasn't scared. She wasn't angry. She just felt terrible regret and sorrow. Breathing heavily her eyes closed.

"Sorry for not being able to stay by your side like I promised, sadis-" Were her last thoughts.

"ITS NOT MT FAULT" The echoes bounced around as the crying fool raced of in a mad frenzy.

Leaving the girl lying on the empty street, in her own pool of blood.

Chapter 2: If only things went our way

The sun rose, the day begun, the birds were singing and the flowers were blooming. Now the sadist isn't a particarly corny guy, he rather burns all those crappy love comedy's that his sister made him watch with her. But that day Okita could understand why those (idiotic) men, in the movies, went all out of their way to impress the (slut of a) woman and gain there love. So, the Prince of Sadists, for once, was allowing himself to feel corny with love.

When he entered through the school gates everyone noticed what a good mood the Prince of Sadist's was in. Okita still had the straight monotone expression but there was something about him that the students could not quite place. There was a certain spring to his steps.

Okita had visited Mitsuba yesterday in the same fashion. She was surprised and happy at what a good mood he was in and even looked a bit better once Okita had to leave. (He stayed so long the nurses had to kick him out)

"Brother!" His sister had called. Okita turned his head as the gorilla nurse tried to pull him out of the room.

"Yes Sis!" He gave her that rare smile he shows to no one else.

"I don't know what happened but keep this girl whose making you so happy close by" Mitsuba winked knowingly. Okita spluttered as the gorilla nurse finally succeeded in throwing him out. He didn't even tell her anything about Kagura. Okita had walked home that day feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"OKITA SAN~!" A annoying shrill voice broke into his thoughts.

Said boy glanced towards a group of girls running his way. Okita groaned inwards and hurried his pace trying to escape them. "Them" meaning his fangirls. (Authors not: I would be one of them OTL)

"OKITA! OKITA! OKI~TAAA~!" Okita's good mood was beginning to trickle away and was being replaced with annoyance. This happened nearly every morning. Usually Okita would stop and make fun of the girls like the sadist he is, he has trained them well enough for them to enjoy the insults. But today he didn't have time to deal with his servants. He wanted to get to class as soon as possible, he has a certain person he was looking forward in seeing and torturing. (He will always still be a sadist no matter how lovesick he is)

Okita barged into the classroom, insults for his China girl at the tip of his tongue.

Everyone in the class gave him a glance before assuming what they were doing. Okita furrowed his brows as his eyes darted around searching for a certain red head but with no avail. Kagura would usually be sitting with that glasses kid or Otae discussing the latest episode of Gintaman, from what Okita could remember.

"Che. That kid decides to be late of all days" The boy couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed as he slid into his seat.

When Ginpachi entered the classroom everyone could see something was troubling the usually unmotivated man. He had dark bags under his eyes and his cigarette, I mean, his lollipop wasn't even lit yet. Shinpachi put up his hands up after Ginpachi finished calling the roll.

"Are you alright, Gin San?" Shinpachi asked.

"None of your business kid" Ginpachi sighed.

"Okay." The megane seemed to be satisfied with the answer.

"WAIT. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ASK SOME MORE UNTIL I ACTUALLY TELL YOU!" The teacher shot up looking angry.

"….." Shinpachi sighed heavily "Please, sir, tell me." He asks blankly and uninterested.

"…The way you said that breaks this old man's heart."

"God! Just tell me why you have bags under your eyes!" Shinpachi shouted impatiently nearly at the breaking point.

"I bet he was staying up doing indecent things" Catherine hid a giggle behind her veiny hands.

Suddenly a body drops from the ceiling squealing with excitement "KYAAAA WHATS THIS ABOUT GINPACHI DOING INDECENT THINGS? DO YOU MEAN HE DID **** AND ******! OH AND ALSO-"

*BAM*

Sa-chan found her head suddenly being embraced by the walls as Otae kicks her from behind.

"Please restrain yourself from talking like that around my brother." Otae dusted her skirt after she landed and gives her signature angelic smile.

"I would never say disgusting things like that." Kyubei said.

"I WOULD NEVER SAY THINGS LIKE THAT STALKER" Kondo screamed at the same moment.

"Don't talk over me, Gorilla. And you're also a stalker." Kyuabei gave the Gorilla an irritated look.

"TAKE THAT BACK! I'M NOT A STALKER….OR A GORILLA!"

"Oi stop bullying the Gorilla" Hijikata jumped to his friend's defense, not realizing what he just called Kondo.

"TOSHI! WHAT DID I JUST SAY" Kondo screams with frustration.

The whole class erupts in arguments. Ginpachi sighed; well this is expected of his dear little crazy class.

"Where's China?" One lone voice speaks up.

Everyone froze at Okita's question who for once was not joining in with the yelling and fighting. The classmates then turned their gaze to the teacher for the answer. Ginpachi must know since Kagura does live with him.

The teacher scratched his head noticing everyone staring at him. He sighs

"That's what I have been trying to tell you guys! Kagura has been missing since yesterday."

…..

….

..

..

…

….

"WHAT"

"Yer, that's why I'm so tired at the moment. I went looking for her everywhere but I couldn't find her in the end. This morning I finally reported it to the police" Though he didn't show it much Ginpachi was extremely worried.

"What! We should all be looking for her! Let's go!" Otae stood up wide eyed.

"You guys won't find her, I looked everywhere possible."

"Who needs to worry about that china girl? She can take care of herself. That monster could beat up a whole army" Everyone turned their eyes to Okita.

"….." The whole class gave each other glances uncertainly. Some began to laugh as they come to realize what Okita said was true.

"Yer, maybe we're worrying over nothing, Kagura would probably appear by the end of the day without a scratch on her" Shinpachi said smiling but he still felt a twinge of uncertainty inside of him.

"GINPACHI! THE PHONE FOR YOU! IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!" The door was slammed open by a teacher called Madoa, his face aghast.

It wasn't for another 20 mintues until Ginpachi returned. He was completely pale as he stood in front of his class who awaited whatever news that they knew he had.

"Kagura has been found." He managed to utter.

The whole class cheered with relief.

"But…But she was found uncosicous in a small street." The students froze in their celebration.

"Kagura has been stabbed twice in the chest by a knife…

….She is in the hospital at the moment and the doctors don't think she will survive."

Kagura stared.

Okita tried (but failed) to avert his eyes away from her gaze.

"BAHAHAHHAHA" Kagura cracked up laughing, clutching at her stomach. Okita has just walked through the classrooms door to be suddenly confronted by the red head. Kagura was originally going to yell at him for slipping in tobasco sauce in her lunch box yesterday but she stopped when she saw his face.

Okita's usually smooth face had a large purple bruise forming around his cheekbone area on the left. Now, any other normal girl would of course be concerned for Okita, asking if he was Ok or how he got hurt or what happened to his beautiful face or- just be damn annoying like all the squealing girls in the corridor he had walked by while making his way to the class. But Kagura wasn't a normal girl, with her tomboyish carefree attitude and unnatural strength; someone would think she could not even be categorized as a girl. She found his injury quite amusing and was wondering what beautiful genius gave it to him.

Okita scowled and tried to push past the girl, who was now gasping for air from laughing too much, he felt somewhat irritated for it should be him laughing at her not the other way round.

"Hey! Sadist! How did ya get that bruise? Did Hijikata finally snap?" asked the grinning girl. Okita ignored her questions and made his way to his seat.

"Do you really think I would let Hijikata get away alive if he did?" Okita said with his deadpanned face.

"Hey WHAT! I'll make you commit sepp-" Hijikata, who is in the seat right behind him, was interrupted by Kondo who flashed to Okita's side worried.

"WHAT HAPPENED? Oh my poor child is being bullied! Who would do such a thing? ARE YOU OK?" Kondo cried over his "baby" who was trying very hard to ignore him. Finally Okita sighed and said

"'I'm not getting bullied and I didn't get hit….I was just trying to get Mitsuba her favorite apples from the apple tree at the back of the school and I fell off." He mumbled the last part in embarrassment. Hijikata and Kondo stared at him frowning.

"Can you repeat that" They asked not quite believing their ears.

"No. Why should I repeat myself to deaf idiots." Okita turned to them with his deadpanned face. As his two friends complained Okita quickly glanced at the China girl to see what insults she was going to throw but none came. Kagura wasn't saying anything, no laughing, no scorning and no insults. Okita was pondering at why the loud mouth was so unnaturally quite when said girl abruptly stood up. Kagura walked briskly out of the classroom without a word. The last thing Okita saw was her determined expression she wore.

Kagura returned an hour later. The red head was covered in scratches and dirt. Her school uniform was slightly torn and she was panting. But what Okita noticed the most were the apples. In Kagura's arms she was carrying as many apples that her small arms could hold. She walked to her desk and set them down announcing that they were for her family. She even flicked her beloved Ginpachi's hand away when he tried to take one.

Funny thing was she didn't live with her family. (He doesn't know if she even has one)

Later that afternoon Okita was walking out the school gates yawning, his companies Hijikata and Kondo walking alongside him. The yard was empty for the three had just finished Kendo practice.

As they turned a corner they spotted a girl. The sunset lit up her red hair, her bangs slightly being lifted by the cool breeze. She still held the apples in her arms. When she heard their footsteps she looked up. Hijikata was the only one to notice her eyes flick towards him and Kondo in surprise. Obviously she wasn't expecting them to be there meaning she was there waiting for the Sadist.

"Yo China. What you doing here? Wanted a goodbye kiss from me" Okita ruined the mood smirking. Kagura face crinkled up in a scowl as she crushed Okita's precious toes. Okita yelped jumping back holding onto his now destroyed foot.

"OI What was that for you little bi-" Before he could finish his cursing something was shoved in front of his face. Okita looked down at the apples that she was offering him.

"I realized that a young lady like me couldn't possibly be able to carry these all the way home." The way she said it sounded quite rehearsed " So I may as well give some away, and you were saying something before about your sister liking them soo yer, here ya go!" Kagura let Okita take hold of all of them and she then stepped back picking at her jumper awkwardly.

"Wait. You said your giving 'some' away, not all" Okita raised his eyebrows.

"ER-Um of Course! Stupid Sadist I was just testing you HAHAHA!" and even thought she said that the girl hesitantly took only one apple back.

"Well I gotta go before Ginpachi gets eaten by Saduharu! Make sure you die on your way home Sadist! OH and if you ever need apples again you know who to get them from!" Kagura grinned and scampered off. Kondo waved goodbye to her and then began saying how generous it was of Kagura and how Okita can now give Mitsuba apples.

"Tch. So annoying. She's just leaving her burdens on us" Okita mumbled as usual. He didn't notice the smirk Hijikata gave when the mayo lover spotted Okita's red ears.

Okita woke up. He pulled his famous eye mask off.

It took him a few seconds to process where he was. He and the rest of his class were in the hospital. The hospital that supposedly had Kagura. Sighing Sougo wondered why he had a dream of something that happened ages ago. Okita gave another sigh, he didn't get why everyone was so concerned about Kagura. Him and China have always fought and have been injured countless of times. But though he thought that Okita's grip, on the seat he was on, told another story at how tense and corncerned he was.

Ginpachi jumped up, including many other students, when the sound of the operation room's door swung open.

" If you ever need apples again you know who to get them from!"

The doctor who had been operating on Kagura approached them his face grim. Okita recognized that face straight away. It was the same face the doctors had when there is something wrong with Mitsuba's health. It was the face of bad news.

Then and there Okita already knew.

He knew he wouldn't be getting anymore apples from Kagura again.

*SOB* I don't know what to think of this chapter OTL I have no idea where that apple story came from (I just begun writing it and it came out like that *sigh*)

Tell me if you think the characters are too ooc or if something doesn't make sense!
