"Ahahahaha! OTAE-SANNNNN! YOU'RE STILL LOOKING AS PRETTY AS EVER! YOU KNOW, I CAME ALL THE WAY HERE JUST TO VISIT YOU!" Kondo was all over Otae-san as usual. Hijikata and Sougo was dragged along with him. "OTAE-SAN! YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD GET MARRIE-" A punch was thrown right in Kondo's face by Otae. Otae was merciless as ever. "Ahahaha...Kondo-san...Stop talking nonsense. Explain to me why I should marry a gorilla like you?" Hijikata's expression was as if he was getting real tired of the repeated beating of Kondo-san by Otae. It was getting real old. "Uh...Kondo-san...are you alright?"

Sougo just sat there...really not caring.

"Gin-san! GIN-SANNN! WALK FASTER." Shinpachi really wanted to meet his older sister.
"Ah...stop pulling me already will you..."
There appeared Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura at the early new year party.

"AH! Shin-chan! You're finally here." Shinpachi's face lit up with happiness. "Aneue!"
"Anegoooo!" Kagura came running to Otae and gave Otae a hug. Otae hugged Kagura back.

Suddenly, Sougo came back to reality from his nap. Hearing Kagura's voice...woke him up? Sougo really thought what was wrong with him. Her voice even woke him up when Sougo was SLEEPING. "Ah. It's the China girl."

Kagura glanced at Sougo. "Oh! Sadist! What are you doing here?"

Sougo came walking up to Kagura and took out his sword. "Hm...what are you doing here? Seeing you disgusts me."
Kagura took out her umbrella. She threw a spit out from her tongue at Sougo's face but Sougo dodged it. "That's what I should be asking you!"

Sougo and Kagura began fighting each other. Sougo's sword kept going at an aim to just slash Kagura into two and Kagura shot a few gunshots from her umbrella at Sougo but Sougo dodged them all. They were jumping around all over the place. "OIIII! SOUGO! CUT IT OUT ALREADY. THIS ISN'T THE PLACE TO FIGHT!" Hijikata continued yelling at him but Sougo just ignored him and continued his fight with Kagura.
"KAGURAAAAA!" Gintoki came running to her and grabbed a hold of her.
"Gin-chan! Let me go! I need to kill that stupid sadist!"

"Huh...too bad. You won't ever be able to."
Sougo stuck his tongue out.

Kagura's anger rose up. "AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!"
Kagura was desperately squirming around in Gintoki's arms trying to escape from Gintoki to just beat up Sougo. His face with his tongue sticking out really just pissed her off.

"Well since it's almost the new year. Let's all have a drink for an early celebration?! Eat and drink all you want!"
Otae brought out all the drinks and food.
Gintoki was totally hyped up.
"Ahahaha Hijikata-kunnn! I'm totally going to drink more than you!"
"Tch! Bring it on you stupid sugar freak!"
"SHUT IT MAYORA!"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING MAYORA?!"
Gintoki already started taking a huge cup of beer.
Hijikata followed after.

Sougo glanced at almost every one drinking. Sougo wasn't really the type to drink. He then glanced at Kagura. Kagura was finishing one plate of food one second after another second. Sougo really thought she was like a fucking monster.

Sougo was bored just sitting there staring at everyone. He thought he should come bother Kagura. Because why the hell not? He was bored with nothing to do except just sitting there.

Sougo took the bowl of rice away from Kagura.
Kagura froze. "OI! GIVE ME BACK MY BOWL OF RICE!"
Sougo smiled. "Then try getting it back."
Kagura jumped and jumped reaching for the bowl but Sougo just kept raising the bowl up higher and higher.

Seeing Kagura struggling really made Sougo happy inside. He just felt like joking around with her more and more.
"GIVE ME! BACK! MY FOODDDD!"
Kagura was so desperate for her food, she jumped as high as she could and eventually got her bowl of rice back. Sougo widened his eyes.
Kagura finally had a smile back on her face.
"Ah...No fun. Guess I'll go back home now."
Kagura glanced back at Sougo.
Sougo was walking towards the exit of the hostess club.

"Oi! Sadist! You're going to leave Gorilla and Mayora here?!"
"Tell them I said bye. Anyway, I hate it here. It reeks of beer. And I'm not the type to drink or party."
Sougo then made his way back to Shinsengumi Headquarters.

Kagura pouted.
"Hmph...he thinks he's so cool."

Soon, morning came.

"Oiii! KAGURA! WAKE UP! WE HAVE WORK!"

Kagura was pretty much really tired from partying at the early new year's party at Otae's yesterday.

Gintoki slapped Kagura back and forth across the face. Kagura still didn't wake up.
Gintok got Sadaharu to bite her head until she bleeds to death. Kagura still didn't wake up.
Gintoki threw Kagura back and forth against walls. Kagura still didn't wake up.
Gintoki got sukonbu and and moved it back and forth near Kagura's nose. Kagura still didn't wake up.
Gintoki then grabbed Kagura and spun her around and then threw her out the window. Kagura landed right on Madao, who was walking nearby while being drunk.
Both Madao and Kagura immediately fell onto the ground.
Well Madao was sure pissed. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, GIN-SAN?!"
Gintoki looked out the window and laughed. "Ahahaha Hasegawa-san! I'm reallyyyy sorry about that! Would you mind throwing her back to me?"
Madao sure did throw Kagura...but to Gintoki's face. Kagura landed right on Gintoki's face and the both of them crashed into a wall in Gintoki's room.
Kagura still didn't wake up.
Gintoki got close to her sleeping face. "OI! KAGURAAAAAAA! ENOUGH OF THIS! WAKE UP ALREADY, YOU STUPID GIRL!"

Kagura was STILL sleeping. She was snoring really loudly with drool coming out of her mouth.

Gintoki finally decided to give up. "Oiiiiii, Shinpachi. Let's just go to work without Kagura. She won't wake up."
"Ok Gin-san!"
Gintoki and Shinpachi made their way out of Otose's bar.

Just after Gintoki and Shinpachi left, Kagura's eyes opened immediately.

"HAHAHA! THEY FINALLY LEFT! I'M SO HAPPY! I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK!"
Kagura jumped around happily. "HEHEHEHE I'M TOO MUCH OF AN EXPERT PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP."
Kagura went to Gintoki's desk to take out her supply of sukonbu in the drawer.
"Gin-chan totally deserved to be spat on by me. HMPH."
Kagura munched on her sukonbu.
Kagura went over to Sadaharu and petted Sadaharu on the head.
Sadaharu panted happily and licked Kagura on the face.
"HEHEHEHE! STOP THAT SADAHARU!"

Kagura then took a blanket and went back to sleep on Sadaharu.
"Let's sleep, Sadaharu!"
Kagura closed her eyes.

...After half an hour passed, Kagura could not sleep.
"AAAAAH! WHY CAN'T I GO BACK TO SLEEP?!"
She looked at Sadaharu who was already sleeping.
"I'm jealous of you Sadaharu..." Kagura petted Sadaharu on the head.

Kagura walked around the Yorozuya place...and walked around. And around.
Until she realized. SHE WAS BORED.
Kagura did not have anything to do. She was just bored out of her mind.

Kagura threw herself onto the ground and rolled around.
"AAAHHHH! I'M SOOOO BORED! I SHOULD HAVE WENT TO WORK WITH GIN-CHAN AND SHINPACHIIII!"

Kagura looked outside the window. It was really sunny. It was the perfect weather to just take a walk.
Kagura took her umbrella and dressed out of her pajamas to her usual cheongsam then jumped right out the window.
Kagura opened up her umbrella to cover herself from the sun and started walking.

Kagura walked around all over Kabukicho. She really wanted to buy some food to eat...but she had no money on her.
Kagura felt even more depressed.

Kagura then stumbled upon a park. She walked over to the bench and sat down all by herself.
Kagura sighed. "Ah...so bored...I'm so bored."

Suddenly, she hard a loud noise.
She ran to where the noise was coming.
Kagura was just curious to know what the noise was since sitting alone on the bench by herself was boring for Kagura and she had nothing better to do anyways.
It was coming from the back of an alley near the park.
Kagura ran there to see...Sougo. Who was on the floor, injured from fighting some Joui patriots.|
"HEHEHE...NOW TO JUST KILL THAT STUPID VICE COMMANDER THEN THE COMMANDER. THEN KILL EVERY ONE IN THE DAMN SHINSENGUMI!"
One Joui held out his sword and put it up high about to stab down Sougo. "Goodbye...Okita...Sougo!...HAHAHAHA!"

Just when the Joui patriot's sword, Kagura kicked the man and he flew right across into a wall.
"Oi! Sadist! Are you okay?!"
Sougo looked at her with a horrified expression.

"HUUUUHHH?! WHAT'S A LITTLE GIRL DOING HERE?!"
"TCH! KILL HER!"
Suddenly, a gang of Joui patriots ganged up on Kagura. But Kagura beat them up easily.
"W-We won't forget this!" The group of injured Joui patriots ran away.

"Tch. I should have killed them with my umbrella gunshots."
Kagura glanced over at Sougo. "HEY! SADIST! ARE YOU DEAD?!"
Sougo was speechless. He didn't say a word. Yet his bright red eyes continued staring at Kagura.
Kagura sighed and made her way over to Sougo.
"I'm only helping you because I'm such a nice person. You should be grateful."
Sougo still did not say a word.
Kagura bent down and was about to help Sougo up.
When suddenly, Sougo stood up and grabbed Kagura by the neck.
Kagura was choking and trying to gasp for air.
"...S...adist. What are y-"
Sougo then threw Kagura onto the floor.

Kagura, injured, on the floor stared at Sougo with a terrified expression.

Sougo walked to her. "...Don't interfere."
Kagura was trembling.
Sougo stared down at her with his red eyes.
To Kagura's eyes, those eyes were like a demon's.

Sougo picked up his sword and pointed the sword near Kagura's neck. "Just because you helped me, don't think I'm going to feel grateful to you."

Sougo bent down closer to Kagura's face. "And don't think I have mercy to girls. You think I can't hit a woman?"
Sougo pulled Kagura to him. "I can. Don't make me."

Sougo pushed Kagura away and left.

Kagura stood up.
"Hmph...that ungrateful bastard...I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN HELPED HIM!"

Kagura's eyes began getting wet.
"...W...What's his problem anyway..."

Kagura fell back down onto the ground and covered her face.
"...No...no way am I going to cry because of that stupid bastard..."
Tears began falling through Kagura's hands and onto the ground. "N...No..."
