Between Ice and Fire

Chapter 1 Brother-in-laws are shits!

Okita Sougo was relaxing in front of his own house by sipping tea when a spaceship landed in his front yard.

It was five exactly five thirty in the morning when this unforeseeable event happened.

Talk about bad mornings… Okita thought and sighed. Having a spaceship invading your house first thing in the morning can never be a good omen. Not to mention that the spaceship looked awfully similar to a certain terrorists' group spaceship.

Then, sure enough, the orange- headed alien stepped out of the ship with a dark smile casted on his face. With each step closer to the police officer, Kamui's smile darkened into a grimly frown. Okita got up from his seat and unsheathe his katana.

There was barely any light to be seen, but Okita can still feel the swift movement of his enemy's umbrella as it smashed down on the front porch. Small pieces of woods were sent flying everywhere. Okita drew his katana at a deadly speed and deflected any harm coming his way with his high levelled skills. Kamui clicked his tongue and shoot bullets out recklessly, some went into the trees and some went through Okita's shoji.

"Oh…" Okita said when he noticed the bullets making their way inside his house, "I wouldn't do that if I were you…"

The light inside his house flickered on almost immediately. The sadist police officer rubbed his temple and shoots Kamui a 'see-I-told-you' look. Before the mighty space pirate will have any respond to that, another orange-headed alien kicked down the holed shoji and walked out of Okita's house.

Still in her pajamas, Kagura's long hair tangled around her face. The young women groaned with one hand scratching her back and another hand keeping three bullets between her fingers. The scariest of all would be her face, crumbled with her lazy-morning mood and anger of being disturbed in her sleep. Okita knew that look on his wife's face all too well and was ready to take shelter when his China spat out harsh words her in Chinese Mafia's accent.

"You do know that this is five thirty in the morning, yes?! So why the hell are you guys making such a chaos in front of my house?!"

"S… sister dear…" Kamui lowered his weapon and looked at his beloved little sister, now all curvy and... Hell, bouncy. Kagura turned to her brother and her eyes beamed out red laser. If looks could kill, Kamui would be dead.

"No! There will be no 'sister dear' or anything like that until you shut up and start cleaning the bullets in my house. By the way, one of it went through my futon, so you guys have got to do something about that too."

"Look, China. This is all you brother's fault. I was just sipping tea in peace when…"

"Now that we are married, he is your brother in law. You are also responsible for this! Clean up and scram! Sadist, don't bother coming home to night if the shoji is not fixed by then. And you, you son of a bitch, if you think that by calling me sister dear after wrecking my house will help you with anything, you are dead wrong. Get that big ass spaceship of yours out of the front yard in half an hour or else you are dead!"

With that being said, Kagura stomped back inside; swearing and kicking pieces of woods along the way. The two men stared after her for a long time and looked at each other with blank faces.

"So…" Okita put away his katana. "You might want to start saving up money to buy a new futon for her."

"Okay." Kamui agreed as he stabbed the tip of his umbrella into the ground. "You might want to fix the shoji. Now."

And that was the beginning of their touching reunion after 9 years. Very touching, indeed.


Hi guys!

The first chapter is kind of short because I want to give you guys a small glimpse of what my one-shots are going to be about. These one-shots will have no solid plot in them and is mostly humour and small romance between Okita and Kagura (and Kamui getting in the way).

If you haven't read 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place' yet, I recommend you do, because this is the sequel of it.

PLEASE COMMENT AND REVIEW!

See you soon!
