Chapter 6 – Always Knock The Door Before Entering Someone's Home
"Souichiro-kun! I didn't expect you down here! Did pay day come early? Ne? Ne?" Gintoki grinned openly as he staggered towards Sougo. The high colour on his face and the smell of alcohol rolling off him was all the evidence Sougo needed to know that the silver haired samurai was drunk. Sougo released a silent breath he hadn't realised he had been holding.
"It's Sougo and I don't have a set routine, Danna." Sougo shifted his weight as he leaned to one side. He watched as Gintoki made his way towards him and stopped a small way in front of him. While it was not uncommon for him to see Gintoki in Yoshiwara, now that he thought about it the frequency had increased, he had not expected to see much less run into him this evening. He decided not to say any more and waited to see how the samurai would respond.
"Now now, Soda-kun! Is that anyway to treat your bestie?"
"It's Sougo and we're not besties."
"Comrades?"
"We're not comrades."
"Business partners?"
"You're broke."
"Casual acquaintances that have grown closer together through the episodes to be more than familiar associates?"
Sougo just blinked slowly as he processed what Gintoki had said. He decided to not dignify that last effort with a response and chose to stare at the samurai instead. Gintoki stumbled forward and waved a hand in front of Sougo's face. "Woo hoo! Earth to Captain! Don't respond if you want me to take your money!" Sougo just blinked again as he turned and made to start walking away. He glanced at the doorway in front of him. He needed to lead Gintoki from the entranceway before he had a chance to see Kagura. He turned back and observed Gintoki standing there picking his nose. Sougo grimaced at the action.
"If you want some quick cash I'll pay you for a job request, Danna." As he finished his statement Gintoki appeared instantaneously a breath away from Sougo's face. Gintoki squinted as he starred into Sougo's eyes. The silence between them was maintained for a few moments before Gintoki backed away slightly with a grin.
"Your friendly neighbourhood hero is always happy to help you out, Sofa-kun! Just name the task and I'll name the price!"
"It's Sougo and I want you to go kill Hijibaka-san." Gintoki froze after hearing the request. Sougo found himself waiting once more for a response, his eyes flicking between Gintoki and the doorway. He needed the Yorozuya boss to leave. Who knew what Kagura was up to after her reaction to the show. Sougo shifted his glance back to Gintoki who had yet to move. Sougo tilted his head in thought. Perhaps the animators had left for a lunch break? As Sougo contemplated the possibility further he noticed Gintoki straighten himself.
"My business is called 'Yorozuya Gin-chan' and I accepted long ago that there would be times that I would have to make a tough decision on whether I would be able to take on a tough job. Whether I would be able to rally my spirits to complete an undesirable request." Sougo's eyes focused on the shadowed face in front of him. He was not as familiar with drunk-Gintoki as he was sober-Gintoki. He watched intently as the silver haired perm slowly raised his head and the light revealed a manic look of excitement on his face. "but never could I have anticipated a job request that I wanted more! Mayora-san will finally meet his demise at the hands of Yorozuya-sama! Mwhahahaha!" Gintoki laughed manically with his arms out stretched. Sougo just blinked at the sudden shift in tone. He found he couldn't bring himself to care enough to question what he was witnessing. He took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote down directions to the Shinsengumi compound with an additional picture of Hijikata tied up in a canon. He held out the paper for Gintoki to take and found that Gintoki was waving fervently to someone behind him.
The first thing that Sougo noticed were the sunglasses the man was wearing followed by the box situated on his hips. As the man neared the two men, Sougo also noticed the trail of tears that flowed down the man's face. Before he could ask anything, Gintoki slung his arm around the man and pulled him down to whisper something to him. The man merely shook his head in response to whatever it was that the samurai had said to him. Everything went still for a moment before Gintoki lashed out and flipped the man onto his back.
"You're a walking bad luck charm! You and your damn DORK spiral! You damn creature with sunglasses!" Gintoki repeatedly stamped his foot as he pointed an accusing finger at the man on the ground. Sougo sighed as he walked towards Gintoki and slipped the piece of paper into his yukata. He patted him on the shoulder as he turned to leave.
"Get the job done by sunrise, Danna. I'll even give you a bonus if you bring pictures." As he turned back to the building he heard Gintoki call behind him.
"Oi! We need to talk payment! Gin-san needs to know how much he's getting before he does the deed! And 50% up front and the rest when you're satisfied!" Gintoki paused and looked around him. He noticed how the surrounding people and courtesans had stopped to stare at him. He scratched the back of his head and grabbed the man on the floor. "Come on, Madao. I need bait." Sougo watched as he dragged the weeping man down the street, ignoring the weak hand that was reaching out to him.
Sougo quickly headed back into the building he left Kagura in. He paused when realised that she wasn't where he left her. He walked back to the room they exited from and glanced inside. She wasn't there either. He hurried to the reception desk and asked Miyuki if she had seen Kagura. She shook her head and asked if he needed any assistance. Sougo declined and ran back out to the street. He looked up and down hoping to see a flash of vermilion hair but found none. Sougo stood there in silence and stared forward at nothing as realisation sunk in.
He had lost Kagura.
"Do you think Gin-chan will be out late with Tsukki-san, Sadaharu? Do you think he'd notice if I had his share of egg on rice?" Kagura was lounging on the sofa in the Yorozuya office in her pyjamas, her leg swinging back and forth as she patted Sadaharu's head. "I think he'll understand that it's important for a growing woman to have lots of nourishment so she can be beautiful." She swung her legs round as she sat up with Sadaharu following suit. "Right! Thank you, Gin-chan!" Kagura rose with conviction and made her way to the fridge. She hummed as she took out the necessary ingredients. She had had a pleasant evening but all the walking had made her hungry. She paused in her motions as she thought back to earlier that night.
She could be honest with herself and admit that she felt a little guilty about disappearing but after Gintoki had shown up she thought it best not to chance anything. Besides, Sougo had said that they were done for the evening so there was no problem, right? Kagura tried to convince herself that if she repeated it enough times that she would believe it. She shook her head when her thoughts became too much.
"I'll just apologise to the sadist the next time I see him. I'll even warn him before swinging my umbrella as an apology gift! That should make things even!" She continued her task feeling better about herself now that she had a plan. She carried her food back to the office and fell back onto the sofa. As she took the first few bites of rice Sadaharu stood up and turned to face the entrance way.
"wush up, shadaharu?" Kagura swallowed the mouthful of food she held and starred at the dog. She leaned forward to pet his head but was interrupted by a banging on the front door. She turned to face the doorway and contemplated whether she needed to answer it or not. The business was closed at this hour and no one she knew would wait to come in. She shrugged her shoulders and moved to resume what she was doing. Just as she was about to settle the banging repeated but was louder this time. Kagura grumbled as she once again set her bowl down and got up to answer the door. She hoped that whoever was knocking was prepared to pay the price for interrupting the queen. She slid the door open and readied herself to tell the intruder off.
"Go home- "Kagura was cut off before she could send the visitor away. She wasn't prepared for the hand that fisted the front of her pyjamas and pushed her backwards into the building. Kagura reacted automatically and gripped her assailant's wrist and stared at him with wide eyes.
"When the hell did you get back here?!" Kagura just blinked repeatedly as she took in the angry expression on Sougo's face. When she felt him lift her off the floor slightly she came out of her daze and tightened her grip in return.
"What does it matter to you, sadist? And who the hell bangs on the door at this time of night when people are trying to sleep?! You damn tax robbers think- "
"Shut up. Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?" He pressed Kagura close to the wall as his tone levelled out. "You disappeared. I had no idea where you went or if you had been taken. You couldn't even tell anyone there where you had gone. Are you that stupid? Did you even think before you just did whatever it was that popped into your head?" Kagura's eyes narrowed at his words.
"Who the hell are you to tell me what I can and can't do?!" She started to twist his wrist in the hopes of making him let go of her. She didn't want to hurt him but he needed to calm down. "The last thing we needed was Gin-chan finding us there or did you forget what we agreed? Besides, I'm a Yato. No one is going to take me without a struggle so I think you'd notice, baka!" She watched Sougo's face for a reaction but all he did was narrow his eyes more at her.
"You're quick enough to tell me what we agreed but you're the one who keeps breaking the agreement." Kagura furrowed her brows in confusion. Sougo released his grip and instead grabbed both her wrists and pinned them above her head. He pushed her so that her back was flush against the wall and pinned her with his leg between hers. "I don't recall telling you that you could leave. All you had to do was wait there for me to come back and you couldn't even handle that much and then you have the audacity to make it sound like I'm in the wrong?" Kagura tried to move her head away from his face. She moved her arms back and forth trying to dislodge him but made no progress. She could feel Sougo's fingers digging into her wrists cutting off the blood flow. She turned so that she was staring straight at him and steeled her eyes. She hesitated for a moment to think of a response. Sougo never gave her the chance however as he shifted his knee up the wall, lifting her along with it. Kagura gasped in surprise at the feeling. Realising what he did and embarrassed at her response she glared at Sougo.
"I don't need your approval for anything. Besides, you didn't say I couldn't leave either so I did nothing wrong." She bared her teeth and attempted to thrust herself forward. His hold stayed the same but she saw the momentary surprise on his face at her actions. Kagura became alarmed as the look of shock turned into his usual smirk.
"You don't need my approval? You really don't know what being a slave means, do you? Perhaps you're in need of a lesson". Sougo knew that he should stop there. That things were going too far too soon but he found that he couldn't resist the sight in front of him. Kagura looked almost helpless balanced on his leg. He shifted his hold on her wrists so that both were held in one hand and ran the other one down the smooth expanse of her arms. Kagura didn't make any sound as he moved but her eyes widened. She didn't know how to respond to his actions. While they weren't unpleasant she knew that they were inappropriate and yet she couldn't will herself to break free of his hold. She turned her head to the side and looked down at the floor.
She felt as his hand neared her shoulder and trailed across her jaw line. He gripped her chin with his index finger and thumb and sharply lifted her face to his. He leaned in and watched as her eyes widened further and her mouth opened slightly but made no sound. Sougo felt himself grow more excited as he looked at her. He hadn't thought that she would be so submissive but was pleasantly surprised. He leaned in further and tilted his head so that his lips were nearly touching her own. Kagura could feel his breath as he exhaled and felt a tingle go up her spine. She wondered what it would feel like if she were to move forward ever so slightly.
Sougo chuckled softly under his breath. "I'm not telling you to do anything now and look how good you're being?" His hand continued its journey again down the side of her neck. His eyes followed the path his hand took as it grazed over the top of her chest. As it travelled downwards, he undid the first couple of buttons on her pyjama shirt. Kagura's breathing quickened as she felt her shirt begin to open. She let out a low moan as she felt the cold air brush against the top of her now exposed breasts. Sougo's hand glided over the swell of her breasts as it continued down past her waist over her stomach to settle on her hip where he lazily drew circles with his thumb. He raised his head so he could look at her face and was pleased to see her flushed cheeks and heavy-lidded eyes.
Kagura was still speechless as she drowned in the feelings of his hands on her body. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she locked her eyes with his. His smirk was even bigger now as he took in the sight of her. "Now, what do you have to say about your actions tonight?" Kagura grit her teeth and refused to respond. She wouldn't let him win the fight. Sougo's only response was to move his leg slightly against the apex of her legs. Kagura gasped and closed her eyes at the feeling. Every brush of his leg against her core sent a jolt of electricity through her body. She squirmed as she was torn between pushing him away or grabbing him closer for more. As Kagura fought a mental battle over the sensations assaulting her body, she heard and felt Sougo whisper in her ear. "Well, Kagura? What do you have to say?"
She felt herself shiver at the sound of her name. She kept her eyes closed as she panted softly. "I'm…I'm sorry I left." She opened her eyes and saw how close his head was to her face. She felt his breath on her ear one once again.
"And?" He lifted his leg suddenly and pushed her downwards. Kagura's head snapped back. She bit her lip and glared at him. She really didn't want to say it but she didn't know what would happen if this didn't end soon.
"And I won't do it again." She felt his chest shake with a silent laugh as his leg stopped moving. She took a deep breath and released it slowly to calm herself. She felt Sougo's hand move up and down her side gently as if comforting her. She tried to focus on her breathing but found it hard to ignore the sensation. As she leaned her head back against the wall she felt Sougo's lips ghost over her jaw line.
"That's a good girl." His hand settled once more and Kagura closed her eyes as her mind settled. Sougo then backed away without warning and watched as she fell to the floor. Kagura was unprepared and failed to catch herself resulting in a heavy thump. She glared up at him and became angrier at his evil smirk. "Look, the doggy learnt a new trick." Kagura's jaw became firm as she swept her leg forward taking his leg out from under him.
As he hit the floor Kagura pointed at him and laughed dramatically. "Who's the dog now, sadist?! Bwhaha!" Sougo just sat up right and stared at her with his usual fish stare. He gripped his shin as he rubbed it up and down in an attempt to alleviate the thrumming pain he felt. He didn't say anything as he stood up and brushed off his uniform.
"Don't forget to meet me in the park tomorrow at 11:00am. Remember what happens if you're late." Kagura just blew out air as she looked away from him. He moved towards the exit and paused. Kagura waited for him to say something. After a few moments had passed she was ready to boot him off the balcony. Sougo turned and looked back at her. Kagura stared back but he wasn't looking at her face. Kagura glanced down at her open shirt and blinked once. Twice. A third time.
"You bastard!" Sougo made a quick exit as the sound of a sandal hitting the door frame could be heard.
