~Colors~
1. Green
Kamui wasn't jealous of many things, but watching the silver-haired ex-samurai teach his sister how to use a katana made the unfamiliar feeling bubble up in his chest. That should be me.
2. Pink
It was the color of purity, of innocence, of childhood naivety—and as Shinpachi held the out-of-control Kagura back, he knew he would do anything to prevent the sweet pink of her clothes from being stained by the dark red of their opponent's life-bood.
3. Blue
The sky matched his mood, and then she popped into view, squealing "Onee-chan" and giving him a big hug. That was when Kamui first decided that he would protect his sister, no matter what—even if it meant leaving to protect her from himself.
4. Silver
Gintoki never realized how beautiful the stars were until he saw her dancing under them.
5. White
When he first realized that he loved her, Okita tried to force himself to stay away, because Kagura deserved someone unblemished by the stains of battle. Then, he realized that none of his competitors were lily-white either and decided that, if they thought they had a chance, who was he to tamely walk away?
6. Red
It was a subtle difference to the light pink she usually wore, but somehow the scarlet dress makes Kagura look far more a woman than her fourteen years. Almost enough that asking her to dance won't be considered taboo—Gintoki forced himself to stop staring and focused on his JUMP magazine. Damn that gorilla that Shinpachi calls sister.
7. Black
The blackberry jam was a rare treat, but watching Kagura gulp it up with pure bliss on her face was enough of a reward. Well—not quite. Okita leaned forward and licked off the stains the jam had left on her lips and grinned at her surprise. Now it was worth every penny.
8. Gold
Yato seldom wore the metal, so Shinpachi treasured the fact that she wore the golden bracelet he gave her for a full two months before it got broken during a tussle with a mad alien cat.
9. Purple
One day, when he becomes ruler of the Yato, he will claim her and deck her in all the royal colors that she deserves—and then Kamui wakes up and remembers that he doesn't want to be king of anything. He leaves a purple ribbon on her pillow anyway.
10. Clear
Sometimes they found it frustrating that she was so transparent—because though it meant she found it difficult to lie, it also meant she took them at their face value. On the other hand, they love her for her innocence anyway.
