Lesson 006: Embarrassed Sadist

It was a beautiful morning in Edo, especially in Kabukichou district where Gintoki lives. Today was the awaited day for Kagura and Sougo. Why? Because today was the marriage arrangement day for Kagura and Sougo. Kagura woke up from her long slumber night. It was 07:30 AM. As soon as she woke up, she walked slowly to the bathroom with her messy vermillion colored hair. She looked herself in the bathroom mirror, and her face still looked sleepy with eye bags. Then, she began to wash her face. Next, she brushed her teeth and after that, she straightened her long vermillion colored hair with a pink colored comb. Later on, Gintoki woke up and went to the bathroom to take a pee. Then, he met Kagura, who still brushed her hair.

"Morning Kagura... *moan*."

"Oh, Gin-chan. Good Morning." Before Gintoki continued his conversation, he took a pee first and went back.

"So... Kagura. How'd you fell today?" Asked Gintoki while brushing his teeth.

"I'm not so sure, yes? Of course, I feel nervous about it, and I don't know what to do." Replied Kagura.

"Just relax, let me handle it if something goes wrong." Said Gintoki while his left-hand rubbing Kagura's head.

"Stop rubbing my head, yes? It makes me feel dizzy." Kagura annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah." Said Gintoki and lowering his left-hand.

After they've finished, Kagura went to the dressing room and wore her usual red chinese cloth with long black pants. Then she took some breakfast with rice and cracked egg on top of it. She also didn't forget with her sukonbu. But unfortunately, her sukonbu was out of stock. She asked Gintoki if he can buy her a sukonbu. Gintoki denied, telling her that it would waste some of the time and can be late for the arrangement. Kagura just nodded and ate her breakfast. Gintoki went to pick his strawberry milk as breakfast. Later on, it was 8:30 AM. The arrangement will be held at 9:15 AM. Then, someone came at the Yorozuya.

"Good morning, Gin-san" It was Shinpachi.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Asked Gintoki.

"Ara, Gin-san. Long time no see." Said a mysterious woman who came from Shinpachi's back.

"O-Otae-san."

"Anego!" Shouted Kagura, she ran towards Otae and hugged her.

"Long time no see, Kagura. You've grown up now." Said Otae while patting Kagura's head.

"Uh... what is she doing here, Pattsuan?"

"Aneue decided to come to the arrangement. She said she just can't leave Kagura to two useless boys."

"How troublesome..."

"And she said she wanted to meet Shinsengumi too."

"Alright then. Kagura, pick up your dress. We are going now." Said Gintoki.

Four of them went outside from the Yorozuya. Suddenly, an old woman figure came out. She was Otose.

"Leaving me behind from my precious little girl. That isn't really nice, Sakata-san." Said Otose.

"B-baba... (old woman)." Said Gintoki.

"O-Otose san." Said Shinpachi

"I'm coming with you. I just can't leave my little girl. I'll help her with the makeup. Tama, let's go."

"Yes, Otose-san."

"..." Gintoki's faces turned deadpan.

In the end, there were five people accompanied Kagura. Kagura looked euphoric about it. Gladly, the places were around Kabukichou so they can easily walk to the area.

|| AT THE PLACES ||

"Yosh, everything is done. But... why Yamazaki and the others here?" Said Hijikata.

"More people is better, right? Toshi."

"Don't ask me... ask that to him" Said Hijikata, pointing his hand to Choleric Sougo.

"Zaki, it was your fault right?" Asked Sougo.

"Ehh! Why you always blaming me Okita-taichou! (Captain Okita)."

"They've said you were the one who overheard and spread it." Said Sougo.

"No! Well, I accidently overheard you were talking with hime-sama about the wedding. And, when I walked back to Hijikata, I mumbled that, and someone heard it too. And it was spread through the castle."

"Still, it's your fault." Sougo was glaring.

"Yamazaki... Seppuku." Said Hijikata.

"WHY ALWAYS ME!?" Shouted Yamazaki.

One of the Shinsengumi walked inside the room.

"Taichou, The Yorozuya have arrived." Said

"Oh, Everyone on your post. Sougo changes your dress." Said Kondo.

Sougo went to the dressing room while Kondo, Hijikata, and Yamazaki were waiting inside. The other Shinsengumi units headed to their post. Actually, there was only eight-person from the Shinsengumi group. Soon after, The Yorozuya came. Gintoki, Shinpachi, Otae, and Tama went inside the room.

"Oh, you've co- OTAE-SAN!" Kondo jumped into Otae.

"Ara, long time no see, Kondo-san." Said Otae while evading Kondo. Usually, she always punches Kondo. Ever since the 'Farewell Shinsengumi Arc' she never had any intends to attack Kondo. But she still going to hurt him when he goes too far.

"T-TAMA SAN!?" Shouted Yamazaki.

"Yamazaki-san, good morning." Said Tama while bowing her body.

"Ah, good morning too."

"I guess we are in the same condition too, Sakata-san" Said Hijikata.

"Oh, They wanted to come too. So, to leaves some trouble for me I decided to not denied their will. More people is better right?"

"*exhale smokes*."

"Shall we began everyone?" Asked Kondo.

"Excuse me; I wanted to help Otose-san to do some makeup." Said Tama.

Then everyone except Tama began to sit and do the introducing part.

[Sougo at the dressing room]

"I guess this is good enough. I wondered what will China wear today. Nah, everything suits her." Mumbled Sougo and waiting for the time to come out.

[Kagura at the other dressing room]

"Now close your eyes Kagura-chan." Said Otose. She began to give a face powder to Kagura's faces. "Don't open your eyes until it's done, okay."

"*nod*Un..."

"Now open your eyes and look in the mirror." Kagura slowly opened her eyes, and she couldn't believe what she had seen.

"Whooaa, I never know you can do this Otose-san." Said Kagura, happy.

"I used to do this a long time ago. Tama, could you pick that eyeliner over there?"

"Yes, Otose-san." Said Tama while picking up the eyeliner and giving it to her.

"Now, Kagura-chan, stand still and relax." Said Otose while giving the eyeliner to Kagura's eyes.

As soon as Otose had finished giving eyeliner to Kagura, she began to release Kagura's hair buns. Then she starting to brushes Kagura's hair.

"Your hair is getting longer Kagura-chan." Said Otose.

"Yeah, and I don't mind keeping it long, yes? I like longer hair." Replied Kagura.

"Now, stand still. I'm going to tie your hair." Said Otis and tying up Kagura's hair. Kagura's hair was tied up back and pinned with a golden needle (to be clearer, her hair style is like in the Yoshiwara in Flame Arc =w= when she met Kamui. Eps 139-146). Then, Otose changed Kagura's dress. Her dress was a dark purple colored Chinese style dress(qipao style) with some light pink flower design. The one-piece dress featured a high neck and straight skirt. It covered all of Kagura's body except for her head, hand, and toes. The dress is form-fitting, floor-length dress that has a high slit on both sides. Kagura wore her black stocking to cover both of her legs. Finally, after 30 minutes of makeup, she looked herself in a full-body mirror. Kagura blushed, she looked super gorgeous. Her face was beautiful, her hair was so elegant, her dress was so perfect.

"Sugoi..." Uttered Kagura.

"Well, let's get going shall we?" Said Otose.

"Yes..." Said Kagura.

|| BACK AT THE ROOM ||

"Therefore, our son Sougo wanted to marry your beloved daughter, Kagura-san." Said Kondo.

Subsequently, Sougo came out from the room behind Kondo's and Hijikata's back. He wore a black crested haori (A traditional Japanese clothing in Edo period, usually colored black and white with a white-like string on stomach part) jacket and loose, gray colored skirt-like hakama (A pants that Shinpachi usually wears, Sougo of duty pants, etc.) with a vertical stripe. Hijikata, Kondo, and Yamazaki wore the same dress as Sougo.

"Then, let us introduce you gentleman to our beloved daughter, Kagura." Said Gintoki.

When Gintoki finished his words, the room entrance door had opened and then Kagura walked inside the room. All of the male person in the room were blushed, seeing Kagura was so beautiful and elegant. Especially Sougo, at first glance, his face reddened. Then, his entire face turned red. Kagura began to sit down on the floor.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Kagura." Said Kagura while bowing her body.

"..." Sougo speechless.

"Oi, Sougo. Say something." Said Kondo.

"Hello? Mr. Sougo? Moshi-moshi?" Said Hijikata while waving his hand in front of Sougo's face.

"O-Okita-san?" Mumbled Shinpachi.

"Is he all right?" Said Gintoki.

"Maybe he accidently ate Mayora's mayonnaise, yes?" Said Kagura.

" *nosebleed* Ni-ni-ni-ni-nice to-to meet you. My-my-my name Sougo." Said Sougo while bowing his body super fast to the floor. Causing his head hit the floor hard and could leave a hole in it.

'Damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn DAMN! She... she! Looks super CUTE! Dammit, I can't take it. Seriously, she looks so beautiful and elegant. Nice Job! (Naisu Jabbu!) Yorozuya's Old Lady (Yorozuya no Baba, he means Otose.) What kind of makeup does she use? I mean, her faces so beautiful... ah, I like her hair style tho. This is bad. I can't even look at her. If it goes like these, then... I could've died by blood lose. (His nosebleed XD ).'

"Sougo, are you all right?" Asked Kondo.

"Yeah, I'm all right. Everything is daijoubu." Said Sougo and giving his thumbs up.

"Daijoubu your ass! Your nose is spilling so many blood!" Shouted Kondo.

"Sadist, are you alright?" Asked Kagura.

"I'm fi- *nosebleed* *sfx ZRRAAASSHHH*" Sougo was thrown away by his super nosebleed.

'F**k, I can't see her face...'

"SOUGO!" Shouted Kondo.

"I don't know how should I fell happy about this or mad at this, yes?" Said Kagura.

"See, you've just K.O him. Good Job! Kagura." Said Kagura.

"I don't know what are you talking about, though." Replied Kagura.

"O-oi, he passes out..." Hijikata said to everyone.

Everyone was speechless.

"Yare-yare..." Uttered Otae.

"Did I went to far with the makeup?" Mumbled Otose.

"Oh my... how troublesome..." Mumbled Gintoki.

|| TIME SKIP || [ AT ANOTHER ROOM ]

'Uh... what happened? W-where am I? Why am I sleeping? If I recall it correctly, I'm still in the arrangement room.'

"Oh, you're awake, yes? Sadist" A familiar voices that Sougo knows. Yes, It was Kagura.

"Uh... C-China?" Uttered Sougo as he slowly widened his eyes.

"How embarrassing you are, yes? Passed out right after the important parts of the arrangement. What's wrong with you? It's not like usual you."

"*shock* W-what happened to the arrangement?" Said Sougo as he quickly gets up from the bed.

"Don't worry, Gin-chan and the others are on it. They've stated that we can discuss something too about the wedding."

"Ah... I see."

"..."

"In the end, I'm the one who ruined this wedding arrangement."

"Yeah, I agreed, yes? How silly you are. Was that appalling to looked at me."

"*flushed* S-Sorry... I-I mean you are so beautiful than before."

"*blushed* O-Of course I am. I'm the Kabukichou's queen and the beautiful yato princess, yes?"

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Said Sougo as he brushed Kagura's head. Kagura blushed.

"Hey Kagura, can you cook?" Asked Sougo.

"Why so sudden?"

"Just asking..."

"Well, I'm good at making porridge. I can make fried egg. I'm still practicing making soups, though. And... I can make fried rice."

"Whoa, I never know you are pretty good at cooking. I thought you can only spend your time eating-desaa."

"A girl should be able to cook well, yes?"

"And I'm looking forward to your cooking. My wife should be able to cook delicious food. haha."

"*blushed* ... I-I can make it for you... if you want..."

"Yeah, anytime." Said Sougo as he smiles to Kagura.

*badump* *badump* Kagura's heart was pounding fast. 'This is happening again, and my chest felt hurt. Yet, I'm happy about it.' Kagura just bowed her head down and held her chest with her blushed face.

"Anyway, I like your dress. Where did you get that?" Asked Sougo

"Eh?! Ah.. this? I bought it last year with papi. He said this suited me a lot, yes?"

"Yeah, it suited you a lot. Perfect! And your hair style?

*badump* badump* "Otose-san did..."

"I see..., uhm... then... what kind of wedding style you like?"

*badump* *badump* "Err... Anything you like..."

"Anything I like? Let's see. No idea. Maybe, Japanese styles? But some people prefer the western styles."

"Western, huh?"

"Hmm? What is it? Ah... actually, how long have we been going out?"

"... Eight months, I guess."

"Do you remember when we were at the summer festival and Hijikata-san choked after eating his mayonnaise? It was really funny."

"Yeah, I remember that! Then I punched him in the stomach, yes? And the mayonnaise was spilling like a water fountain, hahaha." Kagura laughed.

"Gyahahaha, that was so funny. And when you fatigued cause of the crowd and I have to carry you. You were sleeping like a pig."

"What did you called me!" Kagura mad as she hits Sougo's head.

"Ouch! Sorry... but, that time, when we were holding hand... it was the most memorable thing I had." Sougo said as he smiles to Kagura.

*badump* *badump* *badump*'I remember that, when there were too many crowds, We were separated away. And you tried to find me badly. When you founded me, we have no other choices to holds hand, though I refused at first. I was so stupid back then. I just treat you as my rival, but you treat me well like an important person to you. You really love me, yet I 'm just a stupid girl. Eight months we've spent, you treasure it well, yet, I don't really care about it. But you know, by the time goes, my feelings toward you is growing little by little until now. I was reckless. You confessed to me, and I think it was just a prank. Until finally, I accepted it. Though, I still thought it was, your rivalry games. But it was your true feelings toward me. I'm so stupid. Am I truly a suitable person to you? I can't even call your real name, yet, you called my name with your honest feeling. And why did I even think about this? I can't think anymore...' Kagura started to cry.

"O-Oi! China, are you alright?" Said Sougo, his faces worried. Then grabbed Kagura's shoulder.

"*cry* Nee... , Am I really a right person for you to marry?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Because I-"

Sougo, with his sudden action, hugged Kagura as he tries to calm Kagura down.

"No, you are you. I love you just the way you are, Kagura. Never say that again."

"*nod* Un... let me be like this for a while."

"Yeah, sure." Said Sougo.

Sougo still hugging Kagura about 15 minutes. He gently rubbed Kagura's head. Her body was so warm. Her aroma was fragrant. Until she accidentally fell asleep. Sougo realized it and slowly removed Kagura's hair needle with other accessories, letting her hair expanded. Then he laid Kagura on the bed.

"Okita-Taichou!"

"Ssshh. She still falls asleep. Let us have some more minutes."

"A-Ah! Yes, Okita-Taichou. I'll inform that to others."
