Hello again or for the first time, Murayama Tsuru here. Here is the first chapter of my new multi-chapter story. Due to an overwhelming (?) THREE votes, the main character is going to be Sakata Gintoki. And, because I can, this story's going to be a crossover with NCIS. Um…well…yeah, that's all I have to say right now…Here's the first chapter, I hope you guys enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama; it's the property of Sorachi Hideaki-Sensei. Nor do I own NCIS; it belongs to CBS.

'Huh? What this? The ceiling's too brown. Huh? I'm the one's who's too brown…Huh? Why am I sleeping in a place like this? Huh? Has something like this happened before? Huh?' Gin thought as his eyes cracked open in an unfamiliar room.

He never knew that Otose's house had a basement, and he'd been living there for upward of ten years now and he'd never set one foot in this new mysterious basement before. And to make matters worse, his head was pounding something fierce. Why the hell had he had to drink so much last night? It was all that Zura's fault. If he hadn't come over, Gin wouldn't have had to leave his house out of sheer desperation to get away from his loud comrade and he wouldn't have had to drink his frustrations away that night.

Well, only time could cure his hangover, but now he needed to think about why Otose decided to remodel her house. Gin sighed painfully, stood up, and looked around. This room did not seem to be Otose's style at all. Since when was she building a boat in her basement? It made no sense, how the hell was she planning to get this thing out of the basement; it took up a lot of space on the floor!

As Gin was getting out of the boat, he had a slight nagging feeling that maybe this wasn't Otose's house at all…Nah, that couldn't be it, couldn't it? That old lady had probably just done this to trick him or something, like that time in volume 39 when she tricked him into thinking that they had slept together.

Gin then walked up the stairs he didn't being there and entered not Otose's bar, but some room he'd never seen before in his life. The room couldn't have been a woman's, it was too barren. There was a couch that had been made into a bed, an old looking TV, a bookshelf, a table, a fireplace, and some light stands.

Gin blinked in confusion, this seemed to be a really elaborate prank. Feeling both annoyed and slightly amused that Otose would go this far for him, Gin called out, "Oi, Baba, you can cut the act now, I'm on to you!"

But there was no answer. Gin tried calling out again, but there was still no answer. So, Gin began searching around 'Otose's' redecorated house to see where they could be hiding. But, the more he searched, the more confused his got. The bar seemed to be gone, and nothing seemed to be in the places he remembered at all.

By the time Gin had found a second set of stairs, he was no longer amused with this elaborate prank. If fact, he was hoping a little desperately that if he went up these stairs that he'd arrive in his house and that everyone would jump out at him and yell, 'Ha, we fooled you Gin-san, we were here the whole time!'

But when he arrived at the top of the landing, he was even more confused. Even the upstairs had been changed in this elaborate hoax. This second level didn't look like his Yorozuya office/house. As he wandered around some more, looking for his soon-to-be-fired 'coworkers' he found something that made him pause.

In a closed off room, there was a black and white picture of what looked to be a mom, a dad, and a kid. Gin didn't recognize any of the people in the picture, so he picked it up to examine it more closely. On the back, printed in bold letters were the words 'Last Picture Together August 28th 1990'.

Gin put down the photo after a minute, and sighed. 'This is no prank is it?' Gin thought taking a look around the room. He then went to the window of the room and opened to curtain to see where his friends had deposited him.

What he saw, though, made him release the curtain as if it had burned him; the skies were completely clear of any Amanto ships. If fact, he couldn't even see the tall buildings of Edo from this window (And you could see those out of any window in Kabukicho). Confused and frustrated, Gin growled loudly, "Where the hell am I?"


Gibbs woke up to the sun steaming from a window he didn't remember having and dull ache in his back. Squinting painfully at his surroundings, he was shocked to find that this was not the couch he usually slept on. Somehow he had ended up on the floor, thus the back ache.

Gibbs stood up and stretched, looking around at this strange room; it seemed messy and yes strangely devoid of any distinguishable character traits. This room was littered with candy wrappers and magazines of some sort, but there didn't seem to be any photographs or memorabilia from a past Gibbs didn't know.

A silent, questioning eyebrow raised, Gibbs walked over to the window to see more of his surroundings. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw several large ships in the sky. He was also shocked to see tall buildings in the distance that reminded him of pictures he'd seen of Tokyo.

Wondering if he'd somehow lost his memory again, he left the mysterious room he'd woken up in to see if the rest of his team was in this world as well. He entered a living room that seemed to be half living space, half office. It made him wonder what kind of people lived here.

While the silver-haired man was looking around the house for any sign that his team was with him, he noticed that there didn't seem to be any coffee in the house. This was pretty strange, considering that everyone one his team drank coffee of some sort (yes, even that…whatever McGee gets is considered coffee).

Gibbs then heard a door slide open somewhere behind him. Then a young girl's voice called out sleepily, "Gin-chan, if you're gonna search for something so early in the morning do it later…I need my beauty sleep, uh-huh."

Gibbs, wondering who this 'Gin-chan' person was, turned around to tell this girl that he was not 'Gin-chan', and he didn't know any 'Gin-chan's. But the words stopped short of his throat when he saw the girl. She had brilliant vermillion colored hair and bright, cerulean eyes.

Gibbs bit back the surge of surprise and pain he felt at seeing the girl; he reminded her a little of his daughter. After a moment of silence, he said in a slightly gruff voice, "Can you tell me where my team is?"

The girl looked at Gibbs in sleepy confusion, "What are you talking about, Gin-chan? If you want to know where Shinpachi is, he's probably at Anego's house, uh-huh. But you should know that, he's been working for you for longer than I have."

Confused, Gibbs said, "Who's Shinpachi?"

That seemed to be the wrong to ask. As soon as the question left Gibbs' lips, the girl's eyes widened in alarm. The then practically shouted, her voice panicky, "What do you mean 'who's Shinpachi', uh-huh? Did you hit your head and lose your memory again? Quick, what's my name?"

Gibbs, wondering what kind of place his team had found, answered somewhat slowly, "I don't know you. Never seen you before in my life."

The girl seemed to wilt then, her shoulders drooping slightly and her eyes turning downward. But after another minute, the girl's seemed to light up with a sudden idea. She then looked at Gibbs, a mischievous grin spreading across her face, "If you don't remember me, then I'll just have to remind you. We can make you a better Gin-chan. Then everyone will be happy, uh-huh!"

"Excuse me?" Gibbs asked, utterly confused now, "What do you mean, 'make me a better Gin-chan'? I don't think my memory is so far gone that I would forget my own name."

"Well it's happened before," the red-head said, "it can probably happen again. I bet you were out drinking and bumped your head, uh-huh. You get clumsy when you're drunk after all, Gin-chan."

Gibbs starting to lose his patience, said in a slightly strained voice, "Whoever this Gin-chan person is, I'm not him. My name is Leroy Jethro Gibbs."

The girl's eyes narrowed in suspicion then, and she walked up to him and started inspecting him very carefully. After a while, the girl seemed to realize something. She looked back at Gibbs, her eyes narrowed in suspicion, "You didn't lose your memory, did you?"

And that ends the first chapter ^_^ I think that as this story goes on, the chapters will get longer, but this felt like the right length for the first chapter. Also, I think I'm going to end up alternating chapters that center between Gintama world and NCIS world starting in chapter three…maybe. Well, as always, if you'd like please review, I love to know what you guys think. See you next week, guys.
