Chapter 2. Heehee
"U-uhm, gentlemen, here's your tea" Shinapachi offered the three men who were sitting across Kagura with their eyes fixed on her.
Kagura sipped her tea slowly and somehow in a childish manner. She stared at Gintoki, Hijikita, and Okita one after another and would once again take a small sip of her beverage.
"So her brain is completely reformatted, is that what happened? Huh?" Gin asked the two policemen.
"How do we suppose to know? I told you we were just passing by when we saw her" Hijikita answered.
"Hijikita-san, Okita-san, you said that there was this mushroom which was the last thing she ate, a-ano…do you really think that the mushroom itself caused her to act strange?" Shinpachi asked politely.
"Oi! Megane! You really think we should rely on that kind of story? A mushroom that causes a sudden abnormality? A kid in the third grade would have made a better lie than those idiots!" Gin sneered.
"Danna~ if I were you I would shut my mouth up and accept the truth that China would be like that for the rest of your useless lives"Okita at last spoke without any trace of emotion in his words.
"Besides, I think it would be better to have her act as a real girl at last don't you think?"He added.
Okita walked towards Kagura and sat in front of her. He stared at her with those lifeless eyes while she stared back with eyes full of sparkle.
She blinked and opened her mouth slowly, "A-ano…Okita-san, i-is there a problem?" she asked so cutely like any moe character would do.
This is gonna be fun Okita sadistically thought.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! L-l-l-l-l-oook at her! She's like M-mikuru Asahina! This is b-bad! What would happen next! Would h-her eye shoot K-kkkkkkkkagura beams also!" Gin panicked.
"Gin-san, panicking would not help about the situation you know" Shinpachi still acting calm and collected.
"S-shinpachi-san, is Gin-san alright?" Kagura went to Shinpachi with her arms wrapped around his.
Shinpachi turned red as a strawberry, "K-k-k-k-k-kagura-chaaaaaan! Please s-stop doing that!" he reacted.
"Shinpachi-san? Are you alright? Is there something wrong with you and Gin-san? I'm getting worried" she leaned closer to his face.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" he ran out of the door leaving the poor girl clueless about what's happening.
"Ah, I saw blood gushing out of his nose" Okita said.
"Oi, Sougo, we should be heading now, just leave them be, go play with her sometime" Hijikita reminded.
"Ah, you're right, I never thought that your brain is still processing after all the shock"
"Whaaaat? You looking down on me you brat?"
"Hijikita-san, Okita-san, are you leaving already?" asked the girl.
"U-uh, yeah, we already wasted a lot of time in this place, so, we'll be going, oh, take care of that perverted old man, and be careful of him" Hijikita answered.
"Y-yes….Take care" Kagura said in reply smiling.
Okita leaned close to her ear and whispered I'll visit you some other day to play.
Upon hearing the words, Kagura's face turned deep red.
Then she turned back to Gin who is still shivering…in fear. She sighed deeply and asked herself,
I don't understand this person at all…is there really something wrong with me?
The following morning, everything was such a chaos the moment Gin opened his eyes.
"Good morning Gin-chan~" Kagura greeted with such energy.
"AHHHH! W-what are you doing in front of my face this early! Get out!" he screamed at the top of his lungs trying to act cool.
"Mouuu~ Gin-chan you're such a meanie! I was kind enough to wake you up from your deep slumber" she replied with a very, very lazy (but cute) tone
"Stop using those words! Get out of my way! I'm taking a bath!" he replied. He stood up from his futon and scratched his head hard.
"Gin-chan! Here's your towel!"she suddenly came up to him.
"Wha! What are you doing with my towel? Give me that!" he grabbed his towel from her hands and started to walk towards the bathroom. Then she followed him and grabbed his arm.
"A-ano, Gin-chan, you're bath is already prepared! Take your time ne~" she added ignoring the yelling she received as an answer.
"HAAAA! You prepared my bath! What are you my mother or what?" he reached his limit. He doesn't know if he is grateful or irritated with his "daughter's" new behavior towards him.
Just then he realized that she was wearing a pink, frilly apron with a strawberry design on the chest.
"AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY APRON!" he shouted. Yes it was his. He can't remember when he used that, but he knows it's his.
"Well…I-I, cooked breakfast for us" she giggled. "It looks cute doesn't it?" she twirled around as if she's wearing a gown or something.
"S-STOP!" he was panting. "I'm begging you; I can't take your c-cu… I mean annoying behavior! No leave me alone! Will ya?" he once again shouted at her with droplets of sweat forming in his forehead.
Kagura's face turned red. Tears started forming in the corner of her eyes. She covered her face and ran to living room. A small sound of sniffing was heard across the room.
"Ughhhh! Now what! That damn kid! First I have to make her stop following and now I have to make her stop producing those annoying sounds!" he lazily dragged his feet towards the sofa where she is sitting with her hands covering her face.
He kneeled in front of her and started to talk, softly as he tried.
"O-oi Kagura-chan, stop sniffing and…and…stop that weird thing you are doing. I-I was just…I'm not used to this stuff." He face palmed himself.
"B-but, Gin-chan was a-angry at me" she started talking with a small voice that sounded like she cried for a thousand nights.
"Ehe, No I wasn't! I'm not mad! You know we can forget about this! I'll treat you a box of sukonbu! You want that right?" now he started answering her as if he was talking to a two-year old child.
"Really!" her face lit up with a noticeable sparkle in her eyes. She jumped into Gin's body and hugged him tightly.
"Y-yeah really, so if you can n-"
"SEE ANEGO! SEE!" there came running Shinpachi dragging his sister into the room.
Silence arose in the room. Shinpachi and Otae stared blankly at Gin hugging Kagura. (That's what they see but in fact it was Kagura who was hugging him)
A vein popped in Otae's forehead , she started cracking her knuckles going towards Gin.
"O-otae! This is not what you think of! K-kagura was! I-I was! Aaaaahhhhhhhh!"
A pretty loud sound was heard from the second floor.
"My, my Kagura-chan, you sure act strange, guess Shin-chan's stories of you being all moe and cuddly were true" Otae laughed with her hand resting on her cheeks.
"Onee-chan, is there something wrong with me? All of them were acting strangely since yesterday" she asked with her hand resting on her cheek. Pretty much she was imitating Otae.
Otae's eyes sparkled in delight. "Nothing's wrong! In fact everything is just fine" she started hugging Kagura. She was way too excited because now she can fully appreciate how is it to have a younger sister. And the best thing is, Kagura was imitating her, which she finds undeniably cute.
"Gin-san, Shin-chan, I'm gonna take Kagura-chan home. She needs some appropriate clothes." She turned to the two who were sitting in a corner, Shinpachi pressing a cold compress in Gin's forehead.
"Yeah go away you two, you've been bugging me, ruining my day early morning!" Gin mumbled.
"What was that Gin-san?" Otae asked him with a threatening tone.
"N-nothing! I said take care of yourselves!" Gin laughed hiding his shivering.
"That's what I thought I heard" She smiled.
The two ladies walked in the streets carrying their parasols. It wasn't that long when they reached the Shimura household.
"Come in Kagura-chan! We have lots of clothes to try on!" Otae smiled.
Kagura nodded in response excited about the dressing-up thing.
It was noon when Otae picked the best outfit for her. Her hair was not in buns. Otae took the effort to do it in short pigtails. She was wearing a pink cheongsam that reached to the young girl's knees. Kagura was also wearing a pair of thigh-high socks and a pair of red flats as footwear. And yes, she looks cuter than ever.
Then a gorilla-like sound was heard from the balcony.
"OTAE-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" the voice shouted.
"Oh my, looks like a wild gorilla appeared in our presence. Kagura-chan, why don't you take a walk outside while I take care of this wild creature?" Otae asked the girl sweetly while reaching out for her deadly weapons.
"A-ahm…okay" the young girl replied.
The moment she walked out of the house a horrifying sound was heard. To her ears it was like a gorilla being tortured to death, or maybe that was the real thing.
She sighed deeply with a sigh and started walking towards the streets of Kabukicho. She was planning on going back to the Yoruzuya when she decided to hang out in the park.
She walked happily and the passing by strangers can't help but adore her cuteness.
When she reached the park, she sat in a bench and started stretching her arms like a cat.
Then a group of young men approached her.
"Hey missy, wanna hang out with us? Huh?" one of them asked her with a rude tone.
"No, thank you" she answered frankly. She stood up and turned her back from them. But one of them grabbed her by her wrists.
"Oh come on sweetheart! This wont' take long hehehe" the man pulled the helpless girl towards his stinky chest. Not only has her attitude had changed but it seems like her strength was drained down to zero too.
"Get off me you pervert!" she struggled and managed to slap the man.
In return, the young man threw her into the ground and pulled out a small knife.
"You got me mad over that missy" he pointed the blade to her chin and was planning in stabbing her smooth face.
Then a familiar figure appeared. Okita Sougo.
"I'm sorry perverted freaks, but, this girl is my toy. And according to what my parents have thought me you can't take things from their owner without their permission." He smiled and began pulling out his sword.
The moment his blade was revealed the group was already halfway far away from them.
"Hey China! You alright?" he asked.
"T-t-t-thank you Okita-san!" she bowed her head and started blushing.
Okita? Dis this girl just called me by my name? d-directly?
"I-I thought it was t-the end for me…b-but you…Okita-san appeared and –s-saved m-"
"Hold it!, You know, don't accept "thank you" as a repay." He smirked the moment he thought of a plan. An evil plan.
"A-are?" she asked in confusion.
"Be-my-personal-slave-for-a-day-tomorrow" he spoke word per word, whispering to her ear. Close enough to make her feel ticklish.
"S-slave!" she blushed furiously.
