Hello! I'm trying something new by writing some Okikagu! I'm a little new to this fandom so I'm sorry if I'm portraying these characters a bit... differently? Anyways I hope you enjoy!

"It's too early…" Kagura murmured to herself as she stared at her dishevelled self in the mirror slowly brushing all the knots out of her long vermillion hair.

Today was the day she finally became an independent young woman with a stable job – at least she hoped so.

Sakata Kagura was a 21 year old woman who had recently moved out of her foster father's house in attempt to be a strong young woman who could sustain herself without any help.

She decided it was time to move out of her foster father's home when her best friend Soyo helped her land a job as a secretary at Shinsengumi Corp. a multi-billion dollar business that Soyo's father owned. Gintoki was somewhat wary at first because of the rumours of the workers at the business being mostly male, but eventually gave in when Kagura had mentioned the fact that he didn't have to cover the expenses of feeding the gluttonous girl.

After finishing her make-up, she scanned herself in the mirror and smiled. Kagura wore a white blouse with a black pencil skirt which brought out her curves. She beamed as she slid on a black jacket. Taking another glimpse in the mirror, she thought – no – she knew she looked damn good.

Excitedly, she grabbed her purse and left her apartment and made her way down to her new workplace.

Kagura took a deep breath in as she went through the front door of the building where she met eye contact with a pretty brunette lady working at the front desk who looked slightly older than her. The woman gave Kagura a wave and gestured her to come to the front desk.

"Welcome to Shinsengumi Corporation miss!" the lady warmly greeted. "You must be Kagura, the new secretary for Mr Okita?"

"Uh, yes, that's me!" Kagura replied with a shy smile and bowed quickly.

"I'm Shimura Tae, but you can just call me Otae." Otae handed Kagura a lanyard attached to a laminated piece of card with her name and photo on it as well as a keycard. "This keycard lets you use the elevators here and the lanyard is for identification purposes obviously. Do your best not to lose them. If you need any help don't hesitate to call me! The administration office number should be on a list of phone numbers that should be located at your own desk beside your phone. I know how daunting it is for a first day on the job, so it's nice to have someone to talk to if you don't feel comfortable."

Kagura grinned as she hung the lanyard over her neck. "Thank-you so much Miss Otae!" The young woman looked towards the many elevators that lined up against each other. She'd never seen so many elevators in one building in her entire life. "Uh… What level am I supposed to be on again?"

Otae chuckled and Kagura's cheek flared with embarrassment. "Mr Okita's office is on the fifth floor. There's a sign saying 'Office of Okita Sougo' on the directory once you get off the lift, it won't be hard to miss I promise! Mr Okita is expecting you soon I wish you good luck Kagura!"

"Ah, thank-you Miss Otae!" Kagura gave the older woman a wave as she made her way to the elevator. "I'll see you later then!"

"Oh and Kagura!"

"Uh… Yes?"

"Don't be too surprised to Mr Okita's personality. He may look young and handsome but he can be a bit… insulting sometimes…"

Kagura raised an eyebrow and frowned a little. "What do you mean about that?"

"Oh… You'll see… But I think you'll be fine with your charm Kagura!" Otae smiled and waved at the now confused Kagura who then turned around to press the button to go up in the elevator.

XOX

The elevator door opened and she stepped in, holding the door for a much older man with blue eyes and black hair.

"Hello!" she said brightly. "Which floor?"

The man's eyes narrowed as he looked down at the younger girl. "Sixth." He said flatly as he pressed the button for his floor and to close the elevator doors.

"Ah…" Kagura looked down to her feet embarrassed.

"Sakata Kagura and you're going to the fifthfloor?" the man asked with a gruff tone.

Kagura looked up with bewilderment "Huh? How'd you know?"

"It's on your lanyard." The man pointed and rolled his eyes. Kagura looked down and she mentally slapped herself when she noticed her floor number was also on the piece of laminated card. Oh man… the lady at the front desk must have thought she was an idiot when she asked for the floor number. "By the looks of it, you must be the new secretary for Sougo I'm guessing?"

"You know him?" Kagura tilted her head to the side with curiousity.

"I certainly do know that young bastard." The man chuckled. "Don't let that man give you a hard time kid. He may be one of the most attractive guys here in the place but trust me, he's an asshole."

Kagura's heart sank. "Wow thanks… uh-"

"Hijikata. Call me Hijikata." The man held out his hand and looked down at Kagura.

Kagura shook his hand and to her surprise, he had quite a strong grip. And to be honest, he looked kind of cute too. "Nice to meet you Mr Hijikata." To her relief, they had finally reached her floor and she quickly turned around to leave to elevator before she could face the older man with a slight blush on her face. "I-I'll see you later then." She squeaked as she quickly rushed off.

"See ya kid."

What will happen next? Only time will tell... Reviews are appreciated!
