Chapter 2: Good things come to those who keep track of time
Kagura's body hit the floor and rose back up. Her eyes were wide open in pain as she tried to grasp her bearings. Before she could settle her body was forcefully pinned to the ground with a knee on her stomach and hands pinning her wrists by her head. She struggled and tried to force her assailant off of her body but was unable to find the leverage to do so. She twisted and bucked trying to dislodge the sadist pinning her down but found that she was unable to find the momentum she needed to launch him away. A quick flash of silver appeared before her eyes as she felt the cold steel settle once more across her throat. Kagura pressed against the blade slightly, drawing a bead of blood as the blade broke the surface of her skin as she snarled into the face of the grinning sadist.
"Oh? Looks like you're down again. I'm starting to think you just like being under me." Sougo didn't flinch as Kagura continued attempting to shake him off. He enjoyed the feeling of her helpless beneath him and struggling. He leaned his face closer to hers still sporting his grin. Yato or not, it didn't matter. He wasn't going to give her an inch of leeway to break free. He had enjoyed the exchange of blows but now he wanted to move onto the next event. Of course, that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy watching her lose.
"Get off me! I swear I'm going to beat your ass so hard that you'll still be feeling it in the afterlife you bastard!" She tried to lift her leg to knee him between his but found that he had already pinned it with his knee. Try as she might, she couldn't find anything to grasp onto. She grew more erratic at the feeling of being trapped. Her body became taunt and she struggled harder to break free, not caring about the blade against her throat.
Sougo just watched it all with excitement. He could see her becoming increasingly frenzied as her actions became frantic and uncoordinated. The feeling of her body bucking up against his as he held her down had his blood racing. He was trying to remember why he had waited so long to do this. He bent his head lower until his face was mere inches from hers, his eyes shielded from view. "Enough, Kagura. You're only hurting yourself. It's okay to lose." He spoke in a low voice and for a moment Kagura stopped.
He had used her name. He never used her name. It was always China, idiot, stupid or a spur of the moment insult. She hesitated in her actions, unsure of why he would do something so out of character. She swallowed and prepared to ask him why he had done such but before she could do so, he raised his head and looked straight at her with his signature smirk. "A good slave should do as her master says." His eyes gleamed as they bore into her own. His tongue darted out to lick away the blood that had dripped down from a wound across his cheek. Kagura's gaze was fixed on him as she followed his actions.
She didn't know how to respond and was frozen in place. She wanted to scream at him and call him all the names she could think of but the weight pressed against her body reminded her that that was all she could do. She couldn't follow through on her threats if she couldn't move. She was loathed to give the sadist his win but short of just lying there till one of them caved, she preferred to reluctantly concede than have him touch her anymore. Her eyes narrowed as she scowled up at him. She let her head drop down to the ground as she turned and looked off to the side not saying anything. Her body went limp as she waited for him to remove himself.
Sougo knew that she was done and was disappointed that she had stopped struggling so quickly. He was hoping that she would try for just a little bit longer. He recognised her actions as that of one conceding but it wasn't enough. He wanted her to admit out loud that she had lost. "Is that it? What happened to sending me to the afterlife and impaling me with your umbrella? I guess your bark is all you have since your bite is non-existent." Kagura didn't respond and instead decided to just bite on her lip. She refused to give the sadist any more than he already had. She was done and wanted to go home.
Sougo noticed her biting her lip and had to stop himself from doing the same to her. She looked rather cute in her current position and he found himself drawn to her vulnerability. He understood that as a Yato she really could tear a person in two but when it came to him, she was no different to anyone else. He would rise to any challenge that interested him. Especially one with such an exclusive prize. He was more aware than he would like to be that Kagura was unlike anyone he had or would ever meet and that fact only served to encourage his desire. He no longer felt any resistance from her and released one of her wrists. He wasted no time in gripping her chin with said hand and turning her head to face him. Her eyes were open in shock as she was given no alternative other than to look straight at him.
"Are you done now, China?" His voice sounded heavy to her, like he was excited about something but she couldn't understand what. The fight was done, there was nothing left to do. She thought that maybe he was still riding the adrenaline rush from their skirmish. Well, whether he was still happy to go or not she was finished and wanted to leave. She would make him pay for this blow to her pride. The next time she saw him she would make him crawl through the mud! However, for now, she would just give him what he wanted so that she could leave. "Yes, I'm done."
Sougo smiled at her. It was a soft smile that Kagura thought looked out of place on his face. It was kind, gentle and terrified her. Okita Sougo did not smile at anyone. He was a sadistic man who enjoyed misleading people and causing them misfortune and pain. A smile like that could never be a good thing to witness. Sougo used his thumb to softly caress the side of her face as he took in the sight below him. "That's a good girl." Kagura couldn't explain what she felt in that moment but if she had to describe it, it felt like her stomach had clenched for a beat. Her eyes went wide as he removed himself from on top of her and stood up. He reached a hand out to her to help her stand. Kagura just looked at the hand but made no gesture to take it. "Stop wasting time". His dead pan voice was back and it knocked Kagura out of her daze. She returned once more to glaring as she grudgingly reached her hand to take his. He pulled her up to her feet in one move and allowed her time to steady herself. "Good girl."
There it was again. That clenching feeling. She had no idea what it was and didn't plan on finding out. Kagura immediately backed up a couple of steps as she brushed off her clothes. Gin-chan was not going to be happy if she tore them up again. She briefly checked herself over as she listened to Sougo sheathing his blade. She looked around herself to find her umbrella. She recalled dropping it in the fight when he had hit her wrist but couldn't remember where it had landed.
"I've got things to do today so starting from tomorrow, I want you to meet me in the park every morning at 11:00am." Kagura turned to face him. If it wasn't for the scuff marks on his clothes and the marks on his face and hands you wouldn't think that they had been fighting for the last hour or so. He was stood there with his hands in his pockets as usual. His trademark bored expression back on his face.
"Sorry, Idiot, but I wake up when I want to wake up. Also, the last thing I want to see in the morning is your bland face." She returned to the task of locating her umbrella. She caught site of it just behind the sadist. She walked forward without any hesitation. He'd already agreed that they were finished for today so she didn't have to worry about him launching any surprise attacks.
"Ne, China. Did I hit you that hard that you already forgot our deal?" Kagura turned to face him as she picked up her umbrella. She had forgotten that silly deal they made but she didn't think he was serious. She looked over his expression but could see no signs of teasing or humour. Surely the sadist couldn't be serious? Neither of them said anything further and Kagura could feel her uneasiness grow from the silence.
"I remember our deal, idiot. Surely you didn't think that I would be your slave for a month? Are you really that delusional?" Kagura covered her mouth with her hand to cover her laughing. "You poor fool! Did you think that I would turn into Sarutobi-san?!" Kagura continued to laugh and mock him to break the tension. She refused to look at him. Ignorance was bliss and if she didn't acknowledge him then she could just walk away.
"Oi, I never took you for a coward, China. Are you so weak as to run away from your word? Danna must either be disappointed or setting a bad example."
"What did you just say?! Gin-chan would kick your ass for saying that and I'd cheer him on as he did! Gin-chan always keeps his word and so do I! We'll do the stupid deal and I'll make sure you regret every minute of it!" Sougo started walking towards her as she finished her declaration. Kagura was so angry that she was panting. She wouldn't let anyone speak lowly of Gin-chan except for her, Shinpachi-kun, Otae-san, Tsukki-san and well… maybe a few people but not the sadist! Sougo stopped next to her.
"Good. Then as I said, I expect you to be here at 11:00am." He proceeded to walk away, heading in the direction of the Shinsengumi headquarters. He had only taken a few steps before pausing and turning back to her. "China, don't be late. If you're late, then I'll come looking for you. I wouldn't want to have to discipline you on the first day." With that he continued his way.
"Idiot! I already said I do what I want!" She shouted at his back but had no response. She stood there for a couple of seconds just watching him walk away. If he thought she would just bow to his whims then he had another thing coming. Kagura decided then in that moment that she would fight him every step of the way. He may have won the bet but that didn't mean she had to let him enjoy it. She may have lost the battle but the war was still on. With her resolve set, she turned towards the direction of the Yorozuya. She may have missed Otae-san but she could still have some fun with Shinpachi before he left for the evening.
Sougo finally made it back to the Shinsengumi headquarters and saw that everyone was returning to their duties from lunch. He checked his phone which read 3:39pm. He had made it in plenty of time. He headed straight to Kondo's office where he knew he would find the chief and vice-chief. He thought back on what had happened with the China girl and didn't try to hold back his smirk. He was looking forward to the month to come and hoped that she wouldn't just go along with it. It was no fun if she didn't struggle. He made it to the shoji to the office and opened it without knocking. "Hijikata-san. You're slacking off again. Lunch was over 9 minutes ago and you're not back to work. You have to commit seppuku." As he finished a sword flew past his head and lodged itself in the wall next to him.
"You idiot! I'm discussing work! Stop trying to kill me you bastard! Go commit seppuku yourself!" Hijikata was livid as he raised his fist towards Sougo. Kondo just laughed at their usual antics. It didn't matter how old they got the two would always have the same back and forth.
"We're pretty much done here now anyway. Ah, Sougo, did you only just get back from morning patrol?" Kondo scrunched his brow trying to recall when Sougo had left. He was pretty sure it was before he left to go to Shimura household.
"I don't like to slack off like some dirty vice-chiefs do."
"Idiot! That was aimed at me! That was totally aimed at me!"
"Not at all, dirty Hijikata-san. It was just a general statement."
"There it was again! And you were napping! I can see your mask hanging outside of your pocket! Working hard my ass!" Sougo quickly pushed the mask deeper into his pocket and looked at up the ceiling innocently. Kondo continued to laugh as Hijikata threw threats at the first captain.
"Sougo-kun, do you actually require anything from Hijikata-kun now?"
"Mm. I need to discuss squad patrol districts for the next couple of weeks. I want to get everything in order but it's hard when the dirty vice chief is too lazy."
"Bastard! Who are you calling dirty?!" Hijikata launched to his feet and made to move towards Sougo. He paused to calm himself, exhaling a calming breath. He put his hands in his pockets as he got ready to leave. "We can finish this later, Kondo-san. It won't take me long to finish the plans."
"No rush, Hijikata-kun!" Kondo waved his hand up and down. If it wasn't for Hijikata's control he was sure that both he and Sougo would be no different to shish kebabs. "We can discuss it this evening." Hijikata just nodded his head and proceeded to walk out of the room grabbing his sword on the way. He made his way to his own office without calling for Sougo to follow. As he went to sit down at his desk, he looked to see Sougo stood just outside the shoji staring at his phone.
"Damn it. I was wrong." Hijikata squinted his eyes at Sougo in confusion. The man had muttered it to himself but what was he so concerned about? He had come back late from his patrol and even though neither had drawn attention to it he was covered in marks. Had Sougo run into trouble on his patrol?
"Sougo, what's going on? You look like someone gave you trouble." Sougo just tutted and put his phone back in his pocket. At least he had time to sort things out with Hijikata. He ignored the question and just sat down. Hijikata didn't push the issue and continued with gathering his equipment. They discussed the distribution of the squads and what the current ongoing concerns within each district were.
"You can write this up and distribute it to the captains. I need to get back to my paperwork." Hijikata reached for the nearest stack of papers on his desk and sighed internally. This is not what he thought being a samurai would entail. Sougo stood up at the dismissal and made his way to leave.
"I'll have these done by this evening. Enjoy your paperwork and go die, Hijikata-san". Hijikata just rolled his eyes at the usual goodbye and started reading though the first page. Sougo made his way to his own quarters to complete his task. It should only take him an hour or two to finish and once he was done he could plan his day with Kagura tomorrow. He wasn't sure yet how far he wanted to push her and had to be sure not to go too far. Good things come to those who wait after all. As he entered the courtyard he could hear an explosion go off behind him. "I guess it was 4:00pm after all."
The next day found Sougo sat and waiting in the same park he had fought Kagura in yesterday. It had just gone past 11:00am and there was no sign of her. He gazed up at the sky looking for all intents and purposes bored but in his mind he was anything but. He had given a lot of thought to how today would progress and he was more than a eager to get started. He knew she wouldn't just follow his orders and couldn't wait to force her to concede. Yesterday had thrilled him and left his body humming. He expected no less from today.
The only problem so far was that she hadn't shown up. Sougo looked around the area once more and then back at his phone. 11:09am. Kagura was late. Sougo stood and stretched his arms. Placing his hands in his pockets he made his way out of the park.
It was hunting time.
