Author's notes:
scratches back of head Um…Hey guys, chuckles nervously I thought that I had lost all interest in this story but to tell you guys the truth one day as I was sitting like a lump in my school's library a funny idea for this story just came to me. Its hard to abandon this story especially when I know there are readers who enjoy reading my…well…weird and insanely freaky story…but nevertheless I have finally updated because, well because is 11pm and everyone is asleep and yes more computer time for me! So here it is, new chapter of Switched! I hope to god that my readers didn't abandon this story because you guys thought I discontinued the idea…nope…its alive and kicking!
NOTICES:
Well I supposed since its kind of late but yeah I'll just get this out...Ok my story is rated T and its rated T for a reason because of language, Heisuke's idiotic-ness, Characters plotting to kill one another and all other mishaps and mayhem that will eventually turn to a bloody and deadly battle...

For the millionth time...I do not own Peacemaker Kurogane...I did buy the DVD...hahahahahah...
Chapter XIV
Face off: The demon commander meets his match!
CRASH!
"You know Miss Yakamura, we really don't need to trouble you any longer by staying…besides it seems as if you're help is needed in the…"
"Hey, hey, hey…what the hell are you doing with that…ahck!"
"Well…in the other room"
"Playing dirty eh? Well two can play that game…hand me that bottle!"
"Please…please….you and your men are our most valued customers…"
"No fair! You cheated!"
"So please stay and well…um…have some more sake!" Miss Yakamura smiled sheepishly
CRASH!
With a strained smile plastered on her clearly fuming face, Miss Yakamura hurriedly excused herself as she quickly headed towards the root of her problems.
"Shina you freakin' shamisen whore!"
"What did you just call me?"
"SHA-MI-SEN WH-ORE…want me to spell that as well?"
"You're dead to me Hisaki!"
Trying her best not to wring both their necks Miss Yakamura grabbed the two feuding "girls" by the collar and eyed them angrily, her eyes clearly glinting of malice and disappointment.
"What…the…hell….HAPPENED!!!!!" Miss Yakamura asked, stressing on the word "happened"
Everyone cringed as they noticed the young hostess go from calm come to demonic in seconds
"EVERYONE GET THE HELL OUT!" The young hostess commanded as each and every one of the customers left in a hurry
"Jeez lady, all I wanted was a night to relax not a brawl" one of the customers added before grabbing his katana and making his way out of the inn.
Taking their cue to leave, Heisuke and Shinpachi slowly tiptoed their way out only to be blocked by the demon turned hostess, her eyes raging with fire.
"You two…I have a bone to pick with you two" the hostess said gruffly
"She's worst then Hijikata-san ne?" Okita whispered
"What's the supposed to mean?" Hijikata asked defensively
"Maybe she's just PMS-ing" Shinpachi retorted
"I HEARD THAT!" Miss Yakamura screeched as she cracked her knuckles
"Gulp…way to go you idiot…now she's going to take out her mood swings on us!" Heisuke hissed
Everyone cringed as the demon-lady approached them, causing the men…well women to back up in fear.
"But…but Hijikata-san is always in that kind of mood…does it mean he's always PMS-ing too?" Tetsu asked ignorantly causing the older Ichimura to whack him upside the head
Hijikata twitched angrily, "Ichimura…I'll pretend I didn't hear that comment of yours"
"Tetsu you big baka! Don't even suggest such things!" Tatsu hissed vehemently
Finally noticing that there was no where else to back up onto, the men shivered with fear as the hostess approached them with malice and a sake bottle.
"I...I…I think I know what's going to happen next" Heisuke stuttered uncontrollably
"Y-you…d-do…" Shinpachi asked as he clung on to his giant of a pal Sano
"Ahck…Shinpachi…ahck…you're…you're…you're crushing my ribs…ahck"
"Y-yeah…the angry girl traps us onto the wall, and then uncontrollably beats us with whatever is in her hands…in this case…gulp…it's a freaking sake bottle"
The men gasped as they eyed Miss Yakamura curiously, apparently neither of them wanted to know what the young hostess had in plan.
The young hostess smirked sinisterly, "Why the pale faces ladies?" she asked teasingly, "Oh, ignore the sake bottle…its just for show"
"Um…um…wow…for a second there we thought…we thought…we thought you were going to…ahhh…never mind…" Shinpachi stuttered sheepishly
"Thought what Shina-chan? Did you guys think I was going to…whack you with a sake bottle?" This time the young hostess had once again changed from eerily cheery to creepily demonic
The "women" cringed as they found the sake bottle being crushed into tiny pieces as it crashed on the wall.
"WHO…"
Everyone cringed back with fear
"THE HELL…"
Shinpachi and Heisuke held onto one another for dear life, Tatsu and Tetsu shivered
"GAVE YOU THE DAMN RIGHT…"
Okita looked solemn, Hijikata didn't give a damn, Saitou dozed off, and Susumu looked away
"…TO START A FREAKING BRAWL!"
Shinpachi and Heisuke looked at one another and instead of playing the blame game both "girls" went on their knees and started begging for forgiveness from the demon-lady
"We're sorry!" Shinpachi sobbed as he grabbed on to one of Miss Yakamura's legs
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!"
Heisuke taking cue grabbed on to the other leg and pleaded sincerely, "We didn't mean to start a war…we we're…we we're being stupid…" he sobbed
"YOU IDIOTS STOP THAT!"
"Don't kill us…we're…we're truly sorry" Shinpachi pleaded with puppy dog eyes
"YOU'RE CRYING ON MY LEG! GET OFF!"
"Shina…don't let go until she forgives us!"
"WHAT THE HELL!?!"
"You too Hisaki-chan…hold on…"
"got it boss!"
"BOTH OF YOU STOP!" Miss Yakamura screeched as she finally managed to detangle the blubbering "girls" from her now…well now soaked leg"
With a sigh the hostess began to speak, "I clearly will have to deal with all of you later, but as of now I have important guests to…"
"Pardon my intrusion Yakamura-sama"
The "girls" turned around to face the now parted shoji doors that revealed the figure of a man standing by the doorway, a tired smile on his face.
The "girls" gasped as they stared at the man who stood right before their very eyes
"H-holy…"
"B-b-Buddha…"
"It's him…"
Hijikata's eyes turned to slits as he stared into the eyes of his number one enemy, the man who made his blood boil, the man who he blamed for everything bad that happened and yes that included being dumped, the man who made his life and the Bakufu's life hell….the man that was Katsura Kogoro…
"Its him…its that Choshu bastard Katsura…that same bastard who plunged Bakufu and dragged along the Shinsengumi into this damned war" Hijikata thought angrily
Miss Yakamura adjusted her kimono and smiled kindly towards her patron, "Is something the matter Katsura-sama?" Miss Yakamura asked politely, causing the "girls" to gape at her.
"That piece of scum, how can he act so cautiously…hmmm…he doesn't know that the Shinsengumi's top fighters…(well except for the Ichimura's)… have turned to women…hmmm…this should be an advantage for us…"
The demon-lady had now been replaced by a façade of a sweet and polite hostess whose smile shined brighter than neither the sun nor any other star.
"Even that Yakamura chick is acting differently…hmmm…if she knows who he is then could that mean…that she's a Choshu supporter?!?"
"If she is a Choshu scumbag too…then oh well…looks like I'll have to kill her"
"Well…um…how should I explain this…well, some things have come up and it seems as if my men and I won't be staying here for the night after all" Katsura sighed sadly
"Stuttering like a damned fool…things have come up eh? Things like a meeting with other Choshu scum perhaps?"
"Oh…well…is that so? Then let me see you men to the door then" Miss Yakamura smiled sweetly as she began to stand up
"Now's my chance!"
"Oh, please don't…I mean…that won't be necessary. It seems as if you are having some…well some sort of discussion…so I don't want to be a bother…"
"Cut the crap Kogoro you idiot…"
Without hesitation Hijikata stood up from his seat, "STOP THE POLITENESS AND LET'S GO YOU OAF" Hijikata snarled angrily as he brushed past the gaping Choshu leader.
"Toshimi-chan…you…are…so…DEAD!" Miss Yakamura screamed in her mind
"What the hell is vice-chief doing?" Shinpachi thought
"I love this…I really love this a lot…oh vice-commander you and your sneakiness always sends shivers down my sexy spine…a sneak attack…aha! That will end Katsura" Heisuke thought proudly
"There he goes again…always acting before thinking" Okita thought sadly
"ARE YOU COMING OR NOT KATSURA?" Hijikata called out
"Told you he was PMS-ing" Tetsu grinned
"Just drop it you fool" Tatsu said shaking his head
Miss Yakamura cracked her knuckles as she began to pale, "Um…um…please forgive Toshimi-chan's rudeness…she's a newbie and clearly she doesn't know much yet…"
Katsura nodded as he followed the mumbling Hijikata
"He's following me…hmmm…that's a plus…" Hijikata thought as he eyed the Choshu leader from the corner of his eyes
"Thank…thank you for the offer to walk me and my men out…but as I said it won't be necessary"
"Think again Kogoro…you and your men…won't be walking out…alive"
"You must be tired, so please return to your chambers and rest…I know its not in my business to pry but women with professions such as yours are terribly busy and you'd…"
Hijikata stopped in his tracks, his back facing the Choshu leader
"Draw your sword Katsura" Hijikata muttered
Katsura halted and looked up only to see her back
"Huh?" The Choshu leader blinked in confusion, "I…I…beg your pardon but what did you say?" he asked dumbfounded
Hijikata now facing the said leader repeated once again, the venom in his tone not departing "I said…draw your sword"
