How can this be happening...?

Kagura was hugging her legs at the corner in the cramped space while her arch rival sat across from her, taking a break from the useless banging and shouting on the door.

The redhead slyly took a glance at the sadist before looking back down at the ground. Its been 30 minutes since the two of them were trapped together in their useless teacher's closet. Even though it has only been a short amount of time, it felt much more to Kagura. Because of this weird and unknown feeling, her heart feels like it will pop out of her chest any minute now. She just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Why isn't anyone answering...?" Kagura mumbled to herself.

"I don't know," Okita replied. He looked around the room to find something to play with. Eventually, he found a piece of bubble gum and began to unwrap it, "Did all three of them leave without us?"

The girl looked up again, surprised that he answered her thought to be 'self-question'. She had to keep the conversation going, "Maybe they thought we left the house so they went outside to find us..."

The sandy haired boy nodded as he ate the piece of gum which he had realized was old and hard, "I guess..." he kept a poker face on, "But then again, I'm not too sure about that explanation..." he began to rip the bubble gum wrapper into as many little pieces as he can.

"Wh-what do you mean...?" Kagura asked with a confused look on her face.

The sadist didn't even bother to look up and continued ripping the wrapper, "I'm saying that they might be purposely ignoring our shouting and banging,"

Her back stiffened in shock, "WHAT? So you mean that they're still in the house and can hear us...?"

"Yeah, pretty much"

"Then why won't they open the door?"

All Okita could do was sigh, "Like I said, they're ignoring us."

"But why? Why are they ignoring us?" Kagura urged, "Do they want us to be trapped in here?"

"Not necessarily," he replied.

"What do you mean by that?"

The sadist looked up at the red-head with a straight face, " I mean they want us to make-up,"

Kagura widened her eyes in shock as she slammed the floor with her hands, "WHAT?" she exclaimed, "You mean they're still on to that...?"

Her rival nodded a few times as he tried to gather up the ripped up wrappers he made on the floor.

The glutinous girl froze there, dumbfounded. She slowly placed her back onto the wall and drooped her head down. No way... she began to close her eyes to calm herself down. Although, now that I think about. It could be very possible. The teachers didn't seem very happy that we aren't in good terms. But why now? Her eyes began to widen in realization. No... wait... is that why Anego and Megame came here...? If this is all true then... then...

"Oi, China,"

The girl stopped her thoughts for a moment and looked up with an annoyed look on her face, "What do-"

Her voice was cut off by a handful of ripped up wrapper confetti, "Surprise," Okita presented in a monotone voice.

At first, Kagura stood there speechless and eyes twitching. Thinking what monstrous things she should say which eventually came out of her mouth.

The red-head bolted right up and tried to choke him, "YOU DAMN SADIST!" she bellowed, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!?"

The calm boy grabbed both of her wrists to prevent her from choking him, "Because I was bored," he deadpanned.

Out of sheer anger, Kagura kicked the sadist right in the stomach, making him stumble to the ground. With a loud groan, he began to rub his stomach.

"You..." she kept on saying. Her teeth were gritting together. If this is all true... she thought again, then... she began looking at the pathetic boy. I have to forgive this Sadist...? Kagura clenched her fists as she looked down onto the ground. No! Never! How can I? But... then we'll be stuck here until one of us do...

"China, what the heck...?" he cried out.

The monstrous girl looked up to find him glaring at her so of course she had to glare back, "Don't play all innocent!" she exclaimed, "You should know why I would hurt you!"

"But I don't know," he innocently said.

"Shut up you liar!"

There was a pause of silence in the dim room. Kagura crossed her arms and looked away with a loud humph, "I thought that you would have nothing to say."

Okita didn't move at all and just stared at her. Seconds passed which felt like minutes and Kagura began to look at him with the corner of her eye. He's not blinking which just makes her even more uncomfortable.

Finally, Kagura just couldn't take it anymore, "Why are you staring at me?" she blurted out.

The sandy haired boy didn't move anything except his lips, "...Let's play a game," he declared.

The redhead said made a weird look, "What?" she thought that what he said was a bit random, "A game...?" she repeated.

"Yeah," was all he said.

"What kind of game?"

Sougo was looking up and began to smirk, "A game where we see who forgives who," he explained.

The greedy girl didn't like where this was going, she knew that this would end badly. As in really bad, like where this guy here goes full blown out Sadist Mode, "...What are the rules?"

By the look on Okita's face, the girl could tell that he picked up on the fear in her voice even though she tried to make it a bare minimum, "Oh, they're simple really," he said, "All you need to do is to not give in."

Oh no... "Give into what?" Kagura timidly asked.

"To anything," he stated, "If one of us get angry, talk back, or just simply say "I give up" and then they have to apologize. Easy right?"

Kagura just stared at her rival, "...And what happens if I don't want to play this game?"

"Then you automatically lose."

The glutinous girl gave a slight frown, "Fine, I'll play," she answered.

The Sadist gave a smirk, "Great," he said, "Then I'll start,"

Kagura hands were already getting clammy as the sandy haired boy began to move his lips once again, "Go and do the belly dance," he said at last.

"WHAT?" the redhead exclaimed, "I'm not..." she stopped herself and gritted her teeth. Damn it, I can't talk back...

Reluctantly, Kagura began to sway back and forth and tried to do the dance that her arch rival made her do. Why did she have to do this? The world could never know what that Sadist is thinking. When she was done, she angrily looked at Sougo who still had a poker face on, "Well...?"

He gave her a long look, "...You looked like a half dead person trying to go to the bathroom," he divulged.

"WHAT?"

"Well whatever," he deadpanned, "Your turn,"

Kagura was boiling up. She just wanted to let it all out and choke his stupid neck and see if his stupid eyes will pop out of his stupid head. But she couldn't. She wouldn't, "Okay..."

She gave a long thought. There were so many things she could make him do. She could make him lick his feet, eat that little dustbunny over there or... wait... she got it... "I want you to... say 5 good things about me,"

Sougo looked at her as if she was crazy, "5 things?"

The red-head began to feel threatened, "Y-yeah... Is there a problem with that?"

"Well..." he tapped his chin three times, "There really isn't nothing good about you..."

She clenched her fists to fight back the anger, "You're not allowed to say anything bad about me..."

"But it's the truth."

"You... SADIST!"

"Kidding, kidding."

The sandy haired boy looked at the glutinous girl carefully. He actually had many good things to say. Like how her clear, white skin makes him wants to caress it and her soft pink lips makes him want to kiss it. But he can't say that. Not without sounding like a complete idiot.

"Well, china..." He thoroughly thought what he was going to say, "One, you have big eyes. Two, your iron stomach is wonderful. Three, you have healthy red hair. Four, you have small feet. Five, you are fit,"

"...Those are my compliments?"

"Want some insults?"

Kagura squinted her eyes at him, "No comment."

The sadist smirked and stretched out his arms, "Okay, I guess it's my turn then."

The redhead looked at him slowly. Her heart was beating faster by the minute from the things he said about her. They might've not been the most nicest things, but they were compliments.

He began to speak, "I want you to say 'Okita-san is the best, no one can even compare to how great he is... coming from the humble me'," his eyes still calm as a monkey.

Kagura began to snort, "Ha! That's so-" with a small gasp, she covered her mouth with both of her pale hands in a swift motion. That's so childish... she continued saying in her head. She keeps on forgetting that she can't badmouth.

The girl was about to just say the sentence in 3 seconds flat. But just as she opened her mouth, she realized something. She can't say his name. His actual name.

She knows this because she had tried it before.

Not too long ago, around Halloween time, Kagura tried a new approach of annoying her arch rival by saying his actual name. She began practicing it in front of a mirror but the words never seemed to come out. She doesn't know why but just saying his name is a big challenge for her. Her spit gets clogged up in her throat and if she does somehow managed to get it out, her face turns really hot.

What is she going to do? If she doesn't say it, then she'll lose. But if she does say it, she is at risk of being a huge embarrassment in front of him.

"Oi, china," Okita spoke as he poked her in the head, "Are you going to say it?" he asked, keeping the deadpanned tone. He looked down to find her looking on at floor. He grinned, "What? Is that statement too much for you? You know, you can always-"

"O-Okita-san is the best, no one can even compare to how great he is... coming from the humble me!" Well, anything is better than losing.

There was a long silence.

The sandy haired boy began to smirk, trying to hide his menacing laugh, "You actually said it...!" he grinned, secretly proud at himself.

"Shut up you Sadist," Kagura huffed, "...You better not speak of this," she continued.

The boy still kept on trying to hold back his laughter, "O-Okay... pmph... Ahahahaha!"

"I said shut up!"

"Ah, okay okay..." he finally said. His smirk turned into a frown. He walked up to the glutinous girl and looked at her closely in the face, "Hey," he began, "...why is your face so red?"

Kagura's eyes widened. He noticed? She dreaded this day. That her rival would find out that saying his name actually gives her a weird feeling. A very weird feeling. What should she do? She needs to distract him... Kagura began flicking her arch rival on the ear in a repetitive motion.

Okita's eye began to twitch, "... What are you doing?" he asked, already knowing the answer.

Good, he's getting distracted, "Just flicking your ear," she began to smirk, pleased that she is occupying him, "What? Bothered by anything?"

He narrowed his eyes at her, already forgetting about the curiosity he had with her face "No, I'm fine," Is this all about the game? Oh that girl is going to get it...

Immediately, the sadist pressed the greedy girl onto a wall and placed his face right in front of her's.

"Wha-" Kagura bit her tongue to stop from saying anymore. She can't lose. It was his fault. But a small voice in her head kept on saying otherwise. Was is really his fault?

The red head's attention went back to the boy in front of her, "...Bothered by anything?" he said in a whisper.

Her eye's widened. This took her a long time taking it in. Kagura's face began to burn up but still kept on flicking his head. Faster in fact. Damn it, why is my heart beating so...?

"Well?"

"No," the red head abruptly said, trying to recollect her thoughts, "N-nothing at all..."

He began to grin, "I see," he commented, still whispering.

The girl looked into the corner, trying to get rid of the fact that he is right in front of her face. As if he is going to kiss her. She only glanced at him once before looking back into the rotten corner. What should she do? It's her turn right? Should she kick him into the stomach again? No... she had overdone that too many times in this one day. Maybe she should just command it...

"...Get off..." she mumbled, squirming around the little space she has.

"What?" he asked. He wanted to make sure what she had said.

"I said get off," she said more strongly.

He looked at her for a few seconds. It took him a few seconds to realize that she was serious. Reluctantly, the sadist removed his face from her's and backed off. Standing there awkwardly.

"Is that your turn?" he asked.

Kagura nodded her head, "Yeah, it was."

"I see," he commented and looked off to the side, "Not the best way to use your turn."

She clenched her fists once again. Is he trying to harass her? She could do whatever she wants with her demands!

"I see..." she said in a low voice, "...And why is that?" she genuinely wanted to know the answer he had.

Sougo looked back at the red head and smirked, "Well..." he began, "It pretty much had no use to make me get off of you..." he walked up to her until she backed up on the wall again and with a loud bang, he planted his hands on both sides of her head, "Since I can just do it all over again with my turn..." he murmured softly. He looked into Kagura's blue eyes whose are filled with astonishment.

What is he doing...?

He lightly touched her cheek and slowly ruffled her red-orange hair. She could feel the warmth of his skin. For some reason, it felt kind of nice. But it didn't last very long when she slapped herself back into reality.

Kagura didn't know what to do at the moment. What could she do? She just stood there like a statue as he slowly leaned into her.

Wait... is he about to kiss her...? Oh no... it's not as if he's going to kiss her like before. This time, he is actually going to kiss her! She looked at his lips, nearing closer to her by the second. Why is he doing this? Why to this extent? Should she let him? Should she just let fate decide? No, she doesn't want her first kiss to be this way... not like this... no...

"NO!"

...smack!

Her left hand began to redden in pain, and so did Okita's cheek. A frown was plastered on her face as she looked at the Sadist straight in the eye.

"I'm sorry..." she uttered, "Did you hear that? Are you happy now...?"

After a few minutes of silence to recollect herself, Kagura carefully went under Sougo's arms and banged on the rusty door, "HEY!" she called out, "I SAID SORRY! I APOLOGIZED! NOW LET ME OUT!"

Almost instantly, Otae opened the door and smiled for just a second until the redhead walked right past her and began to put on her shoes. The brunette turned around and walked towards her, "What's wrong Kagura-chan?"

"I'm leaving now," Kagura said, voice almost cracking.

"But-"

"I said I'm leaving now!" Kagura hollered. And out the door she went.

Shinpachi, who was just staring as the redhead that left, walked inside the closet to find Okita still remaining in the same position as when Kagura slapped him, bangs falling over his crimson eyes. Otae scurried over into the room as well while Ginpachi stood his ground and sucked on his lolli-cigarette.

"Okita-san," Shinpachi began, almost afraid to hear the response, "...What happened between the two of you in here...?"

Sougo just stood there for a moment until he finally slowly raised his right hand to cover the redness of his skin, "I..." he paused for another second to let his skin cool down, "I don't know..."
