YAY I UPDATED IT! So you people probably want a fun story so I'm currently doing my best to make this fun and kinda long so that you guys wouldn't feel like bored or "something is missing" or "this is too short!"

I know you guys feel like Sougo is OOC but let me just clarify that Sougo may be a bit out of character in the inside but he still acts like the same Okita Sougo you know on the outside.

I hope you guys will enjoy this so...

I wake up feeling really good and refreshed, I still see China's head on my chest. Now this feels like Christmas morning, it's just perfect. I just wish I could feel her hair and-...I better take a walk on the beach. When I was about to stand up, a hand was pulling me down. Then I look behind me and see China holding me...but is still sleeping. "Where are you going my pillow-made-out-of-Sukonbu!?" When will she ever stop thinking about food? Then I take a look at her face, its so beautiful and mature now. "How did she grow up so fast?"

I placed her hand beside her and tuck her into the blanket so I let her sleep in peace again. Wait..peace? Thats not in my vocabulary... I found my bottle of tabasco sauce and spread it all over sukonbu. I left a tower of hot chili sukonbu on the table so that she could easily see it once she wakes up. Now I take my leave.

As I walk along the beach, I noticed that a lot of starfishes are on the sand, not breathing. Now this is what you call torture. Lovin it. But then I also notice another presence with me, a dark aura. I turn my head to see Kagura fuming mad at me. "Oi you bastard! I saw you put f*cking tabasco on my precious sukonbu!" I scratch my head and blandly said "I thought you were asleep.." But she wasn't paying attention to me anymore. She was looking at the starfishes. She bend down and threw starfishes back to the sea. I don't know why but I find it kinda cute.

"You know you can't throw them back all. They're too many." She pouts and goes back to looking angry. Cute. "Yeah I know...it still makes a difference though" now that had taken me aback. So simple yet such a grand act. "Fine..." I don't know why I'm helping her but there's just this spark in my stomach that pushed me to.

Just suddenly, my head involuntarily turned to look at her. She was also looking at me, then our eyes met. Just looking into her eyes felt like swimming in an ocean. I think my cheeks are turning red. She looked away immediately and set a small smile on her face. Then I realized the last starfish was right in front of me. I can't explain my actions and why Im doing them but I got the starfish and gently place onto Kagura's hands.

When our hands touched it was like I had a heart attack. Her hands were so warm and delicate. "Why are you giving it to me?" I stood up and stared at the ocean for awhile. "You started it. You end it" was the last thing I said before I headed back to the hotel. Is it just me or was that scene too cheesy?

Going back to my room I heard that damn Hijikata talking to Kondou-san "Ehh Kondou-san...you know the real reason why we're here right?"

"Its cause the shogun gave us a mission to make Kagura and Okita marry each other to improve earth's reputation!" he maniacally laughs

Then Hijikata sighs "No..Its cuz the frickin' shogun ships them! If he didn't turn into an otaku then none of this would happen!"

What? The shogun is playing matchmaker using me and china eh. I admit that I like the idea but I disagree to this because I care about china's feelings.

"Ne Toushi! Isn't there gonna be a bikini contest today?"

I should probably go now...

Kondou was right...there is a contest, might as well see how it goes. Ugh, old geezers everywhere. There are 7 contestants, girl no. 3 and 7 are flat chested, 4 and 5 are too young for my liking cause they're like 15 or 16. No. 2 is...a guy with breast implants. Girl no. 1 is Tsukuyo,... is that Danna having a nosebleed? And girl no. 6 is a flat chested gorilla..Kondou-san (being the stalker he is) is fangirling/gorilla-ing over her.

Contestand no. 8 walks in so awkwardly like its her first time walking in heels. Though she is pretty hot, curvy body, a dangerous dark blue bikini, long hair. Oh wait, its Kagura.

It was so difficult going to the front but I made it anyway. I have to stop china! She cannot expose her body to these perverts (which I am not included), "Oi china! Are you lost? Get down from there!" I shout-whisper enough for her to hear me "Im not lost! This is your fault anyway!" she tries to keep her voice down as possible but still audible.

"How is this my fault?!"

"You destroyed all of my sukonbu and I have to earn it back by winning this shit!"

"Why this?!" I gestured the stage

"Kamui-nee offered to buy me a whole bunch of sukonbu if I won"

*facepalms*

Of course she would do anything for food...that idiot didn't really change that much did she? That siscon is probably enjoying the moment right now and probably going to take her to dinner after she'd (obviously) win this. He'd *beep* her *toot* *boop* all night and *asdfghkl* until she'd *maryhadalittlelamb* and she'd lose her *bananas* to that guy!

Right now, they have to model and do all kinds of posing shit, as long as china is doing a decent pose then- Goddammit she's splitting!

"Chine what the f*ck are you doing!?" Men are cheering so loud that I can barely hear my own voice

"Shut up don't distract me sadist!"

She shifts her pose to a bridge and it somehow attracts men. It's so hard maintaining your position when everyone keeps bumping and pushing you, then I end up at the back losing my place on the front.

I dont even think she's modelling anymore, she's doing back hand springs and cartwheels and backflips..."Oh God.." but even so, she's giving herself a remarkable score to the judges. Next is the speech part, where they ask you questions like "What is your reason in participating this" or something. Actually, none of the contestants even have a brain.

Q & A :

Host: So Tsukuyo-san (No. 1), what would you do if you won the beach body title?

Tsukuyo: Uhmm, I guess I'd buy all the booze I want- TEME! Stop looking at my breasts dammit! *kicks Gintoki on the face*

Host: Ohh ok, we'll get back to you later. And how about you ehh Inari-chan (No.2) what would you do?

Inari: Inari-chan ja nai, Katszura desu.

Host: Oh ok Katszura..

Katzura (Zura): I would probably get a new nose job...and maybe new breast implants!

Host: Okay?...Onto the next question! So Tomoe (No. 3) isn't it? What made you join our competition today?

Tomoe: Mmmm I dunno actually. I guess I was drunk and my boyfriend made me sign the registration paper for this shit.

Host: Ohh what a nice story...and how about you, Haruka (No. 4) and Chiyo (No. 5)?

Haruhi: Omg! You're nails look super cute! Where'd you get them done?

Chiyo: Which nail? The one at home or on my hands?

Haruhi: The one at home silly! Hahahaha!

Host: IM TALKING TO YOU! God...What would you like to say Otae (No.6) and Saiko (No.7)?

Otae: Macadamia nuts taste good~~...Get away from me you stupid gorilla! *kicks Kondou on the face*

Saiko: I think that joining in today's competition is such an experience. It made me have new and interesting friends that made me realize that beauty isn't all about whats on the outside but it's all about whats in the inside and I think that everyone here is beautiful. If I win this, I'd tell everyone to stop hating-... Oh look a butterfly!~ *Gets kicked in the face*

Host: Saiko! Are you okay? *drops the microphone*

Kagura: *grabs the mic* I was forced to be here by my brother...and I think I didn't apply suncreen- *collapses*

END OF CONTEST

Nobody won because the whole place turned into some disaster movie. As for china, she's in the clinic. The nurse said she needs some rest to replenish her skin, but she looks pretty fine to me except that she's still in pain. Probably she forgot cause she woke up at 5 am with me. This idiot...I guess it wouldn't hurt to touch her hair a little. Wow. Its so smooth and soft, then I went to feel her cheeks.

"Sadist, you're tickling me." I jumped when her eyes just shot open. "Since when were you awake?"

"You're hands were sweaty when you were touching my face...pervert" of course my hands were sweaty, I was nervous. Did she just call me a pervert? "I was gonna put some toxin on your face so that you would never wake up" in my usual flat tone. She sat up and looked straight for a while. "So who won?" still worrying about earning her sukonbu "The competition was over when the gorillas went wild" she chuckled which I kind of find it cute.

"At least I don't have to deal with Kamui-nee anymore, but I still need my precious sukonbu..." she frowns a little

"...I was worried you know.." I whispered hoping she would hear it but also hoping she didn't "Did you say something?" "N-no nothing" Its actually awkward and weird right now, China is acting all 'lady-like' and not boisterous as before and I think Im still an immature boy who cant express his own feelings! I have to say something, even if its just a little hint! "You know, I thought you'd never come back" I'm trying to maintain myself as possible but I feel like I'm gonna burst anytime.

"And I thought I'd never see you again...until that Shogun invited me and offered me cash" I can't tell if she came back just for the money or if she really did miss us. By the way, I haven't seen her giant dog yet. What's it's name? Sada-...bob? Sada..marley? Oh yeah! Its Sadaharu.

She attempts to speak but fails then tries again but I didn't really hear what she said "Did...mi...me?" That's what I heard. "What?" I ask "D-did you miss m-me?" she says again turning red. I don't know what to say! Did I miss her? Of course I did but..."Not really" I said in the coldest voice I could pull off. Why is my body acting on it's own?! She frowns and looks down.

It was an awkward silence, really. It was pure silence for about a minute or two. God...this is all my fault! I could have nodded or at least not responded. I have to break the ice, I really do want to tell her. I was about to reach my hand for hers but then she lays down and tells me "I want to sleep." She tucks her entire body beneath the blanket. "Okay" was the only thing I managed to say.

"I missed you...like a lot" she says under the blaket. I bet she's trying cover her face but I dont mind because I'm also hiding my blushing face.

I want to tell her that I missed her, her hair, her face, her stupidity, her whole presence. That she's the reason why I didn't try killing Hijikata in 4 years because I was too busy looking for her. That I regret not saying goodbye when she left and that I'm scared when she'll leave again. I was scared thinking that Kagura died because she didn't give any form of communication for years. And now, Im scared to tell her that I fell for her.

I lay my head beside her, I'll sleep with her if I have to. As long as she's with me then I guess I'll be fine.

Thank you guys for reading this! It took me a whole hell of time coz I was making sure I didn't do anything stupid...

so please review and I'll be back with a new chapter which may take some time coz I also have to update another fic of mine..

Thanks and uhhh...happy new yearr? dammit... BYE~~~
