Beast and Rain
Part: 02 –Taken as Takasugi's hostage-

"Don't you want to try dating with Gin-san?"
It is a fine day to go out somewhere today and this is what Gin-san says at the doorway of the Otose night bar, with a smirk.

"Oh, sorry. I got something on today."

"...now wasn't that a quick rejection," Gin-san slumps his shoulders and mutters as I push him outside.

It has been a week... since meeting Takasugi that day...

"Come visit me again"

These words given to me from him gives me the determination of wanting to go and see him again, but the bar had been so busy recently that there hadn't been any time to go back there.
But today, Otose-san had said I could take a day off.
Maybe Otose-san had sensed my recent restlessness.
Appreciating her for thinking about me, I had decided to do it today.

To go and see...Takasugi.

"Ok, I'll be off then," I say as I wave a hand.

"Be-care-ful-," I hear Gin-san's elongated dull from behind as I start running.

"I bet she definitely thought the date invitation was just a joke," Gin-san had muttered mixed with a sigh as he scratched the back of his head.

I go past, through the city which is under the gleaming sun, and the further I go, the less people are around.

When I enter a dusky alleyway where the sunlight doesn't reach and it is then when I start seeing the shi[ that I'm looking for.

" It's that ship..." I murmur to myself and then set my fee to go towards the direction of that ship.
At the entrance there are a few lookouts. Just as well, since it's Takasugi's ship.

It doesn't seem like I can enter quite so easily...

"Excuse me, I am Mina. Can you let me on board please?" I boldly introduce myself and ask straight out to one of the guys on lookout.
But the guy stares at me suspiciously.

"Never heard of that name. What business do you have with this ship?" He replies coldly, which makes me feel less confident.

Although you ask what business...
Now that I think about it, I don't have any.
Just the fact that I was told to come visit him again, and I wanted to, so just came...
I wasn't even summoned to come here...

"T-that's right..."

If I don't have a reason to be here, I can't be let in...

I slump my shoulders and had been about to bow to the lookout guy to apologise for the intrusion when the lookout guys stare behind me with widened eyes.
Cocking my head to one side in confusion, I slowly turn my head around behind me.

"Yo, at last you came."

Takasugi stands before my eyes.

"T-Takasugi...-san."
In shock I nearly called is name irrespectively without any suffix and immediately added the "-san".

Wow, that shocked me! How long had he been there for?
...but put that aside, I was able to see him again!

I feel so happy that I feel my lips start to curve upwards.
Takasugi then takes me by my hand and leads me abroad onto the ship.

"S-Sir!" the lookout guys straighten their backs even more than before and greet Takasugi who has a huge impact even with just standing alone.
The aura that tells no one to dare come near him or come into contact with him, whatsoever.

But that Takasugi is right at this moment, holding onto my hand and walking casually.
Just this makes my hear pound.
When we finally reach the Japanese-style room that I had once been in, Takasugi then finally opens his mouth to speak.

"Why did you come here?:
Slowly turning back to face me, he smirks.

"Why" you ask... but I can't really say "because I wanted to see you"...
Asides that, I wish he would let my hand go now...

My honest heart just pumps away fast and loud seeing Takasugi isn't letting go of my hand any time soon.

"So you came here without a reason," he interprets my reaction and pats my head.
He then tangles his fingers in my hair and starts playing with it as he stares into my eyes.
The stare is as piercing as usual, but there is a touch of warmness in it that makes me dazzled.

"Y-you said to come visit me again so I did. That's all," I say without much of an option and stare downwards, not being able to stand the nervousness and the thumping heart when I'm being stared at.
I then here a chuckle coming from him.

"Can't you say something like "I wanted to see you"?" his whisper like voice and his slightly curved lips to show that grin.
It's just that. But it makes my body heat rise.

The second he feather-touches my cheek, I feel my self freeze up.
He slips his arm around my waist and he is so close against my body.
My mind becomes blank and I can't see Takasugi's face anymore.

"I-I think I shall go home now!" I shout in panic.

I can't stand the atmosphere!

Ripping myself away from Takasugi, I try to open the fusuma door behind me...
But the hand that reaches out for the door gets gripped by Takasugi, stopping me.

"'Go home'...where?" he asks with a chuckle that sounds like he is making fun of me so I turn around in shock.

"'Where'..."
The second I say that, I hear a thump as Takasugi had put a hand right beside my face, disabling me from any escape, and my heart starts racing at this situation.

Oh no, I came here wanting to see him... but I can feel fear from Takasugi...

I try to prevent my legs from shaking as I stare into Takasugi's eyes.

"Your home is here."

After he says that, he slowly brings his face close to mine and whisper right in my ear.

"...now I'm never letting you go."
I feel my face starting to burn.
Takasugi is so close tome and the words he had said is beyond my understanding.

"B-but...um, Gin-san and the others are probably waiting for my return..."
As soon as I had said that, Takasugi's eyes dramatically changed.
A penetrating strong stare, so cold that makes my blood run cold.

"Gintoki...? ...more of a reason that I can never let you go now."
He chuckles darkly and then pulls me towards him.
Just like before, the distance between us becomes extremely close.

"Be by my side..." he whispers at a really close range before he sets his lips against mine.
Behind me is a fusuma and I can't escape.
He continuously gives me sweet, deep kisses.
Not being able to do anything, I just let him kiss me.
My body feels so hot, and my heart is drumming loud against my ears.

When his lips finally part mine, his smirk returns.
...and then he pulls me into a tight embrace.

Maybe I'm already Takasugi's prisoner...
And I may never... be able to leave this place again...


Ah, this is really bad~
What is that I'm trying to do! ←
This is going to keep continuing, no doubt about that...*sweat drop*
But thank you very much for reading!
If possible, I would like comments please! That will make me very happy

※To Sadaharu-sama
I'm very sorry, Sadaharu-sama!
Can I make this like the Kamui series!
I don't think I can finish this with a two-part oneshot(/TДT)/
So I am probably going to sort of steal the name and write a series fan-fic...;;
It's not entirely my fan-fic so I feel so bad~~*cries*
