Author's note:The following one shot is from a Chinese drama called eternal love, now for those of you who don't know anything about it, I'll just give a summary of the scene. It's kind of like a test of love with the guy aiming for the girl who is holding a flower with her mouth( btw it's a time travel series and the main character shares a body with another native soul)

The Eternal Love: Okikagu
It was needless to say that Kagura was bored out of her mind, the past was horrible, the clothes too stuffy, the toilets disgusting, a sadistic loser prince for a husband and the worst of all... there was no sunoboku.
Kagura had spent days bemoaning the loss of her favourite snack (there was also her job as an assassin but her pachinko loving boss had yet to pay her the last two month's salary).
Kagura was especially annoyed today as she had been invited (forced) to watch the sadist shoot arrows at targets with Hijikata's face painted on it.
The redhead arrived in a swirl of blue along with her haindmaiden Otae, the woman all smiles and charms as she subtly dumped a Gorilla's body behind one of those ridiculously large pillars.
Kagura groaned as she saw all the machochistic concubines, internally wishing that she found out what the switch for the other girl to come out was. She would really like to leave all this annoying stuff to her.
Instead Kagura put on an extremely fake smile, one which was just enough to annoy everyone around you, it had taken years of schooling ( courtesy of her brother).
The redhead greeted the prince," Good morning sadist", she said sweetly as Otae bowed.
" Ah China", red eyes sparkled in mirth, " I think you forgot to bow to your husband, the seventh prince".
The redhead scowled, somehow the damn sadist always managed to push her buttons. She looked at the corner of her eye, Otae gave her a pleading look and Kagura relented.
She bowed but the action felt so sickening to her that she puked her guts out...all over the sadist's pretty clothes.
After a few minutes of panic and Yamazaki running to find a new shawl for the prince, the archery continued albeit with a new shawl and a more annoyed prince.
All the concubines oohed and aahed at the right time. Kagura yawned.
Yamazaki who had also been watching took notice of that and asked with empathy," Are you bored Consort? ".
Kagura turned her deadpanned blue eyes at Yamazaki, " Oh didn't see you there...Jimmy".
" Seriously we've met countless times before this, how do you still not know my name", Yamazaki screeched.
Urara one of the consorts, on hearing this said, " Hey why don't we make this entertaining'.
" How? ", Kagura asked, she really needed a distraction, if she had to watch this any longer she was going to start digging her nose and using the booger to throw the sadist off balance and she didn't want to spend time in the gallows ( well she'd still prefer it to seeing him shoot arrow after arrow).
" The consort can hold a flower between her lips and the prince can aim at it, it will be a true test of love",Urara suggested, a gleam in her eyes.
Everyone was shocked ( save for Otae who had disappeared behind the pillar once again and Sougo who had just stopped shooting), the main rreason for the shock being that a hardcore machochist could suggest such a sadistic thing.
" Are you questioning the bond between the prince and I", Kagura said in rage, " Because if you are then I'll give you an answer, it's already rotten and ready to break".
Kagura knew that Okita was a good archer, twenty minutes of watching him play was enough to know, but from the way he was now sadistically smiling Kagura knew that he was going to do something fishy.
" Don't worry China,my skills are second to none here", Sougo said,Kagura felt the urge to kick that smirk off so badly.
" It is tru-", a masculine voice behind the pillar said but his words morphed into screams.
Seeing that she was in a bind with no boss lady to save her Kagura said shakily, " How about another day? "
" Why is there something inconvenient about today?", Sougo asked, his eyes wide in fake innocence.
Kagura cursed mentally. " There are no flowers here though, save for the ones in Princess Mitsuba's garden aru", she said weakly.
" Here", Sougo said, handing her a single pink flower, " Hijikata San was going to give this to the princess, basically it doesn't matter if it gets pierced or sprayed with blood".
" You totally indicated that you're going to kill me aru", Kagura said, her left eye twitching slightly as she took the flower and walked towards the target.
" Relax China", Sougo said with an uncharacteristically gentle smile. Kagura almost trusted him, almost.
Kagura ducked just as the arrow whizzed past the place where her face had been earlier.
" The hell are you trying to do sadist! ", Kagura screamed in such rage that she forgot to add her character's 'cute' speech defect.
" Oops", Okita said innocently, " My hand slipped".
A Hijikata target board almost hit Okita in the head but he managed to block it with his bow at the last second. The prince winced, his wound had reopened and his hand was a little bruised up too.
" Oops", Kagura said not so innocently, " My hand slipped".
Despite the pain Okita smirked,oh it's on now.
The End*
Btw Urara is an actual character from Gintama, she's the younger sister from the correspondence arc.
