Minna I'm updating! Yup I'm updating earlier than I expected too. Actually i was about to post this yesterday, but when i was about to publish it, the internet went -. There was no internet after that so I needed to wait for it. Thank God that the internet came back! Phew~ Oh I also forgot to mention in the last chapter that this chap is an OkiKagu chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 9

'It has been two days since we have been staying here in Yoshiwara to work as temporary Hyakka members. Things are going pretty smoothly on our respective assignments, even though Gin-chan and Tsukky still frequently argue on different matters. Speaking of assignments, it's almost call time for my shift.' "Ne, Seita, tell Gin-chan and Tsukky that I'll just be buying some sukonbu and will be back-aru."

"Hai, Kagura-chan!"

'I've been silently making pushier move for Gin-chan and Tsukky to become closer with each other; some of it fail because of unexpected reasons. For example, I accidentally tripped Tsukky without her noticing so that Gin-chan may catch her, but the Hyakka members caught her instead. Other times, I will push Gin-chan accidentally to Tsukky, but they react fast and prevent the bump.'Kagura continued to talk to herself in her thoughts as she headed to buy sukonbu in a store in Yoshiwara. "Sigh, I'm running out of ideas but I need to make a move soon."

'What move, China?"

"It's another move to get Gin-chan and-are, sadist? What are you doing here? I didn't know you were so dirty to come here in Yoshiwara to play some dirty games. Oh well as expected from tax robbers, like you."

"Be careful with your words China, I can arrest you for roaming in the streets of Yoshiwara beyond your curfew. And be thankful because I went all the way here to see you."

"Ssee me?" Kagura replied a bit flustered inside on Okita's words. "Did you miss me that much huh Sadist? Are you falling in love with me? Bleh!" Kagura ridiculed.

"In your dreams China, I wouldn't fall for a gluttonous monster like you."

"KONOYAROU!" Kagura shouted as she began punching and kicking Okita who simply dodged the attacks.

"I came here because Kondo-san asked me to."

"Che, what does he want?" Kagura asked as she abruptly stopped on her assault.

"He wants to know the developments on the jobs he gave you."

"Ah! I completely forgot about it-aru! I was too focused on Gin-chan and Tsukky."

"Danna and who? Oh, you're matchmaking him with someone too?"

'Oh no, my tongue slipped, what explanation should I give?'

"Speaking of matchmaking, Kondo-san also told me to collaborate on you on matchmaking Hijibaka."

"WHAAT?! I do not need your help and I do not want to team-up with you!" 'Phew, good thing he changed the topic.'

"The feeling is mutual, China. As much as I do not want to team-up with you, Kondo-san personally asked me to and I wouldn't miss an opportunity to kill Hijikata-san and earn more money. Besides, I know more about him than you do.

"Our job is to matchmake Mayora so that he can live and be happy, not to kill him baka."

"Our? Wow, I didn't know you miss me that much to accept the tandem immediately China."

"Tch, stop copying my ridicules and I still don't want to team-up with you, but as you said, you know a lot more about Mayora than I do."

"Are, I didn't know you were smart, China."

"TEME!" Kagura faked her kick to cover-up her punch which Okita received.

"Ow, be careful with my face, China. A lot of fangirls will cry if my face gets distorted.

"Who cares?!"

"Anyways, why are you her in Yoshiwara? Was Danna so desperate to get money that he sold you here?"

"Gin-chan would never do that! We're here on a job and serve as temporary Hyakka members due to the flu that is keeping a lot of people from working."

"So the flu is spreading here too, huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"This strange viral flu is also starting to spread in Kabuki-cho and other places in Edo. Anyways, shouldn't you get back on matchmaking Danna?"

"Huh? Ah….ah. 'Why did he suddenly brought up that topic again? Now what shall I do, wait maybe I can use him too.' Say, ccan yyou give me some iideas on matchmaking Ggin-chan?"

"Eh, what's this? China is asking help from me? Are you sick or what?" Okita teased with his still deadpanned face as he brought his hand on Kagura's forehead. 'She does seem a bit too warm.'

"Sshut up! It just happened that I was running out of ideas and you are now my matchmaker partner!'

"Yeah, yeah, well who do you want to matchmake Danna with?"

"With Tsu-ACHOO!" Kagura replied as she sneezed suddenly.

"Who's Tsuachoo?"

"It's not Tsuachoo! It's Tsu-MICHAEL JACKSON!"Kagura replied as she sneezed again.

"Tsu Michael Jackson? I think I heard that name somewhere before."

"Uggh, It's Tsukky!" Kagura finally said as she rubbed her nose. "There I finally said it, now will you help me with my next mo-PERCY JACKSON!"

"What a pain, well whatever, for the sake of torturing Hijibaka, fine I'll help you. It's a great tiing that you have colds because we will be needing that." Okita replied with a smirk curving in his lips.

-END of Chapter 9-

Honestly, I don't feel satisfied with this chapter and my motivation to write is degrading also -_- That's another reason why I'm updating later than I should, even if I finished the plots of all the chapters of this fic (which is about 20-21 chapters btw). So will you please help me get motivated by reviewing? ^w^ Thanks! Oh and if you are wondering why the spoiler I gave in the last chapter is not here, it is actually a spoiler for chapter 10. See you in the next chapter!
