Disclaimer: I do not own Gintama, but Kamui is mine. *runs away*


His feet kept swinging. His antenna kept twitching. He'd been waiting on that tree for quite some time already without uttering a word.

He had nothing to do but observe the Kabukicho town from that elevated place. He's been there for hours and now, he's getting bored. Maybe he should try killing anyone he sees from there? It was the only idea he had to pass time and besides, it's his hobby, care freely killing anyone with that great big smile filled with enjoyment when his emotions overwhelm him.

But no, he can't. He had to control his boredom. He just couldn't cause any more troubles for Abuto when he just ran away from an important meeting of Harusame Captains and he forced him to cover for himself, or rather he just left a note saying, "Ganbaree! Abuto! ^v^". And well, yesterday he did the same.

"Then, how about a date tomorrow? "

It was then scenes of yesterday came flashing back to his mind; when he met her, Nobume Imai. She's one interesting girl for him; someone that he would bother to try remembering even just her face. She's strong and there's some kind of similarity between the two of them. He's craving to know more about her.

"But she didn't say she agreed with that date." He said to himself.

Then what was the long wait for? What was the point of sitting there for such a lengthy time, doing nothing but wait for her? He even endured the boredom it caused him.

With that, his antenna stopped twitching and fell down like it just reacted on his current emotions. Even his feet halted from his movements.

"And I even bought donuts." He continued as he chomped a piece of donut.

Someone suddenly popped in front of him, jumping from below.

Azure and long flowing locks that moved smoothly in the air, scarlet eyes ever so dull which revealed the coldness and emptiness in her stare, and that white uniform akin to the Shinsengumi's with the bottom part of her coat moving together with the wind.

It was none other than Nobume Imai; the girl he'd been waiting for.

He just smirked at the sight of her. So she agreed, huh? He thought.

"I knew you'd come-" he started.

But she had already swung her swords attempting to slash his whole body. He immediately took out his umbrella to defend himself from that attack.

"So you wanted to continue yesterday's fight, huh?" he said.

She ignored him and just jumped; doing a somersault before she landed on the branch of that tree. She had already stolen the box of donuts he was holding. She squatted and ate the donuts the moment she had gotten hold of them.

He just stared at her. She ate the donuts without any delicacy in mind. She was like a hungry wolf who only thinks about of eating her prey ignoring her surroundings; though this was a normal sight to him, being a big eater himself, he enjoyed watching her. Her cheeks puffing like it would explode anytime while her lips pouted like an octopus reminding him of her sister when she's eating. Cute he thought that he wanted to pinch her cheeks so badly. It surprised him how he was able to control himself not to get even just one piece of donut from her.

She stopped; swallowed the bolus of food and stared at him. In just a couple of minutes she finished that whole box.

"Kamui." He called.

That caught him off guard, to think she was able to remember his name. He just smiled, "What?"

She licked her fingers for the crumbs of the donuts; she kept on searching for traces of that confectionery and used her tongue to clean them.

Damn, it was too tempting for him; he wanted to help her 'clean' herself.

She's just like a cat, eh? He thought.

She tilted her head, "What do we do on a date?" she asked as she saw another crumb of donut besides her lips with the corner of her eye. She licked it.

[The girl who only cared about two things, killing and donuts.]

He looked up to think of an answer, "Now that you think about it..." he faced her, "I don't know."

[The boy who only loves strong enemies and eating.]

Nobume may be surrounded by boys in the Mimawarigumi but she's been trained to be an assassin, a killing machine for that group. So there's no necessity for her to learn anything other than killing; thus earning zero experience and knowledge with this kind of thing.

Kamui on the other hand, had long abandoned his emotions. He lived his life searching for strong enemies that he would fight with, not caring about anyone else. He only cared about fulfilling the desires of his Yato blood. Well there's Matako; being an obvious admirer of Takasugi; who could teach him a bit of these things, but he doesn't give a damn about it.

"Eat donuts?" she said, though unsure of her statement.

"Isn't that what we're doing right now?" he answered back.

"Then, let's cut each other." Said she as she slightly unsheathed her sword.

"Are we supposed to kill each other on a date? ",he replied as he titled his head.

"Kill anyone who passes here." She was serious with this answer.

"Sorry but Abuto would get mad at me."

"Oh. I think Isaburo too."

That's when he remembered when he accidentally peeked on what Henpeita Takechi; the lolicon strategist of the Kihetai group; was secretly reading.

"Let's go to a Love hotel." He said.

At that instant, the tip of her sword was already aiming for his neck. It was too close about a centimetre away from his flesh; but her face still showed no emotion at all.

"Ohhhh...Then you're the pure and innocent type of girl." He said as he raised him hand to surrender.

She calmed down and returned her sword to its sheath.

"I think we should really just cut each other." She said.

"It's hard to wash these clothes and I hate that spinning machine in our space ship. I always end up breaking them." He replied.

SILENCE.

They just stared at each other. Kamui's antenna kept twitching together with his feet that began moving, it was synchronized. He held the branch they were sitting with his two hands. He was still smiling as stupidly as ever.

Nobume with her impassive expression and dead panned eyes, kept staring at the guy in front of her. His antenna catches her attention too much, her eyes moved together with his antenna. She also held the branch of that tree.

Their hands were only about 1foot away from each other.

Seconds have gone by and it just continued that way.

She continued staring at his antenna then decided to lower the focus of her vision. She saw his braids, this is the first time she noticed the length of his hair. She began to examine him. He had big round eyes with a colour similar to the sky, a long hair silkier and smoother than the hair of a normal girl then that soft and pale skin of him; just like a new born baby.

She began to doubt his gender, Is he really a boy? Or a girl? She thought, Should I just kill him to check it? But she gave up on that thought.

She stared at her hair and compared it with him.

SILENCE.

Out of the blue, she grabbed Kamui's locks, specifically his braids.

"You really wanted to fight, huh?" Kamui said.

She looked straight at him, "Do this to me." She said.

He looked at the part of his hair she was holding, "You mean braids?"

"Yeah." She answered.

"Okay." He replied still smiling.

Nobume's back was facing Kamui, she sat like before. Since they had almost the same height; Kamui had to kneel to reach her hair.

It may not look like it, but he gives importance to his braids. Every day of his life, he would bother to face the mirror and do his braids by himself after he had dried his hair from taking a bath. He did them carefully and neatly.

Nobume suddenly raised her hand, "Donuts." She said not looking at him.

She knew that Kamui was hiding another box of donuts. Her senses were just too sharp with it. He had no choice but to give it to her.

He began braiding her hair. None of them was talking once again, he just focused on her hair. It was just as soft as his that it didn't take long to finish doing braids on her.

Nobume broke the silence.

"Are you a girl or a boy?" she asked, while eating.

The puzzlement just won't leave her thoughts.

"I am a guy." He answered.

"But you're too girly for a guy."

He gave a grin, "Then..."

He had finally finished braiding her, he stood up. Sensing his actions, Nobume looked back.

"Shall I prove it to you?" he said as he began taking off his pants showing some skin in his legs. It also revealed the boxers he was wearing.

She had sheathed both her swords right away and cross slashed him. He backed away while putting on his pants again before it could damage him severely, though it slightly tore his clothes.

"Heeehhhhh...What a Cherry Girl. (the female counter part of Cherry Boy?)" He commented.

Hearing his words, she thrust her word towards him while he just sat down to avoid it.

And so, they have fought once again. It was just like yesterday. Kamui kept on dodging and deflecting her attacks with his bare hands while Nobume used her swords attempting to cut him together with her legs to back her up when her swords fail her.

But this time; it was more violent. Nobume's swordplay was faster; she just kept swinging them without any thought of stopping. Left, right; up, down; she was spinning and flipping her body. Even with that narrow branch she moved freely. She had cut some of the branches of the tree. Kamui; well he just dodged all her attacks; still teasing her with his smile. He moved like a professional martial artist but this fight had no rules. His movements were smooth; jumping in the air, flipping his body doing somersaults and continuously tumbling in a fashionable way with his hands to support him.

As the fight got more intense, they had fallen down to the ground. Now they are fighting under that big, shady tree. Nobume had cut most of the bushes around them, even the trunk of the tree had several scratches created by her sword.

She continued with her slashes, Kamui continued with his dodging. She spun around like she was dancing together with her swords. She looked so amazing; attacking with so much grace. Kamui just smiled with that thought in mind. He speedily moved back until he reached the trunk of the tree, her sharp blades approaching him. She was just about one foot away, his clothes were slightly getting torn probably because of the wind that her attack produces.

Getting nearer and nearer, he was still smiling. She continued spinning then he suddenly grabbed her wrist halting the movements in her right hand. She attacked him with her other hand, he just grabbed it once again. With the strength of his grip, Nobume unknowingly loosened her hands that her swords fell down to the ground. He gave a smirk. He switched places with her, now she's the one leaning her back on the trunk of that tree.

Kamui had her cornered. He held her hands using only his right hand; and pinned them above her head. He cupped his left hand on her cheek. He was grinning from ear to ear; but Nobume remained poker faced. His sight was locked onto her lips. Using his thumb, he traced them gently. He tilted his head and came nearer her face. She didn't resist at all. She just stared at him while the distance of their faces continued to minimize.

Just a bit and he'll kiss her. Nobume just closed her eyes.

*splart*

It was the box of donuts that fell on the ground from Kamui's clothes. He was hiding it the whole time. Now it was crushed by his feet.

They both got distracted and stared at the damaged donuts.

"MY DONUTS!" Nobume shouted.

Her face changed at that instant. She looked really mad. (Yeah like that expression she had when Sougo ate donuts in front of her)

"Ohhh..I'm sorry." Kamui said.

But his voice didn't reach her, the only thing she could think about is the wasted donuts that she didn't have the chance to eat. All of the donuts are hers. She then faced him.

"So even you could get mad." Then he chuckled, "Donuts are-"

BULL'S EYE. She hit him with her boots; the pointed part of her boots; to his most sensitive part of the body.

KO, he fell on the ground.

She walked out with her braids swinging from side to side.

"It suits you." Kamui said, though his face was already on the ground.

She looked back and saw just his hand raising; she stared at her braids. She held her hair then faced him once again.

"See you tomorrow." Said she, and finally left the place.


Somehow, they've become like OkiKagu who fights whenever they see each other; though they don't hate each other; they just love fighting. And why is it always that branch of the tree?

Errr...I'm so sorry. I realized how hard it is to make this fanfic that I almost tried abandoning it. I bravely made this even with the little information about Nobume then Kamui who only appears in Op and Ed songs of Gintama. I don't even know a thing about Nobume's past. Then the real relationship of Isaburo to Takasugi who is Kamui's ally; what if they are still allies? What if Mimawarigumi works with Harusame? I need to know!

I might finish the current arc of Gintama (read it now! It's friggin EPIC!) before updating. To gather more infos about Nobume. Sorachi~sensei! Even just a hint of her past will do!But don't worry, the whole plot's already complete in my head. (I'm such a noisy author. Blah blah blah)

And btw, thanks for all the reviews. I didn't expect to have a lot of reviews for Chapter 1 and thanks for supporting this pairing! Please review for suggestions, comments, requests etc! Thanks again!
