Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama- Hideaki Sorachi owns it and Kingdom Hearts 2 is owned by Square Enix. I also do not own Final Fantasy.
I grew bored of waiting for more subs, so I thought I'd take a crack at writing Gintama fanfiction, I mean fanfiction in general. I absolutely can't write fight scenes, which this might include a lot of...oh dear.
I hope my portrayal of these characters is not too OOC, but then again, Kagura has another identity, and Vincent Valentine from FF is in this too (I've never played FF before, only Kingdom Hearts 2).
Intended Pairing: KaguraxGintoki

Chapter 1: The First Day
The sun was shining, birds were singing, and Okita Sougou was sacrificing Hijikata dolls. In the Yorozuya, Kagura got up first, and remembered that Shinpachi was leaving today for Otsu-chan's national tour. Apparently, the duration of the whole trip was a week. The Chinese/ Yato girl groggily sat up, her orange hair mussed up from oversleeping.
Gin-chan had better get me a new bed soon, or else we're switching. She thought as she stretched her sore body, and heard Shinpachi's yell. He's here already?
"Oi, Shinpachi, let me sleep…" Gin-chan!
"Aren't you going to say goodbye? Am I nothing to you? Goddamn idiots!!" Shinpachi sighed, gathering up his bearings. "Whatever, I've gotta get going anyway for Otsuu-chan's 'I'll rip off your grandma's XXX mole'. Don't starve while I'm gone."
"Get me sukonbu from every city," was Kagura's parting as she threw him out the door. She turned around to see the main character himself, lying on the couch with drool on his face. "Gin-chan, I'm leaving to walk Sadaharu." No reply.
She happily took up Sadaharu's collar and proceeded to drag the giant fur ball out the door.
"BYE!" Kagura slammed the door off its hinges and ran down the stairs, with the alien dog chasing her. She had stolen a portion of Gin-chan's dessert money to buy more sukonbu, and breakfast. That's what he gets for wasting money on Jump.
"Stupid glasses. Didn't even make breakfast." Muttered the girl as she shoved people out of her way, oblivious to the fact that Sadaharu was chomping on the victims' heads. After she had eaten buckets of rice for breakfast and sukonbu at Otose's, the girl looked at various stores, especially restaurants, and admired the buffets. While she drooled compulsively on the windows, angry storeowners rushed to drive her off and got beaten up as a result. In her particularly vicious mood, she injured thieves and robbers for grateful victims. Kagura became bored of this, and decided for another course of action.
"Sadaharu, let's go to the park, ok?" This statement was supported by a bark of approval. The white dog had already sprinted ahead when Kagura noticed, and she grinned as she thought of all the violent games she could play with the obnoxious kids. But her happy mood was suddenly interrupted when she saw terrified children run away from the park, and sensed an extremely sadistic aura.
Shit, didn't want to see him today. Though I don't get why he keeps coming back for more, I guess I'll beat him up again. Kagura dropped Sadaharu's leash and readied her umbrella, making sure that it was fully loaded. As soon as she saw the light brown hair and the dark Shinsengumi uniform in the distance, she took her stance, and waited.
"Oi, brat. Where's danna today? I need to know if he knows anything about last week's incident." Okita's voice irked her as she imagined herself beating the crap out of him. Like I'd tell him we were involved…What the hell's he thinking?
"What's that, bastard? You wanna go?" Kagura grinned, but as she continued her smile widened angrily and she rudely pointed her umbrella at him. "You guys are really messed up; a stalker, mayo-maniac, and sadist being the leaders of the police force. You pathetic people really call yourselves police? Even Shinpachi does more than you."
As Kagura talked, Okita drew out his bazooka and shot at her. She leapt away, and fired several bullets at him, watching him dodge and maneuver around the danger.
"Chill out, you're going to harm the citizens you crazy bitch" Okita singsonged, even though by then, everyone else had vacated the scene. She landed on the ground, her eyes widening in surprise as he pressed a button and the ground exploded beneath her. Chikuso!The Yato girl thought when she realized the Prince of Sadists had detonated land mines. He planted them there before I came! He knew how this was going to turn out! Gritting her teeth, she looked at her umbrella that had been used to block the brunt of the attack. Kagura was blasted into a tree by the force. Thankfully, she was hardly scathed, and she settled for yelling out:
"I knew you would resort to cheating, but this is really low, even for a cheater like you." This time, she was prepared to jump away from the explosion before it could do any damage.
"Stupid girl, there are no rules in fighting." He taunted her. As the smoke dissipated, Okita strolled into her view and smiled evilly at her as he mock-called "Oya, there's a terrorist here trying to blow up the place. What will I do?" Furious, Kagura tore a park bench off the ground and threw it at him, barely surprised when it was sliced into pieces before it hit him. Suddenly, the boy cocked his head, put the detonator in his pocket, and pulled a sleeping mask over his eyes as he flopped down on the only undisturbed bench. Kagura blinked in confusion at this unexpected lax in the sadist, but the intrusion of the Demon Vice-commander of the Shinshengumi addressed this concern. Hijikata zoomed in on the giant holes in the ground, the fallen trees and the bench Okita was currently occupying.
He stared at her (Kagura) for a minute. She aimed her umbrella at the mayo-freak in case he felt like fighting her, but he only twitched and lighted a cigarette, as if to get rid of the stress of the whole situation.
The Yato girl hated the awkward silence. "You wanna fight?" He turned away from her, and focused on the sleeping Okita.
"Sogou, were you the bastard who did this?!!" Hijikata rushed to the snoring figure on the bench while drawing his sword. Kagura, ticked off with the fact that no one felt like battling her and everyone was ignoring her, ripped a nearby tree off by its roots and swung it at them.
To her dismay, the tree didn't connect with them as Hijikata had predicted the attack and jumped out of harm's way while Sougo 'subconsciously' diced the projectile into tiny pieces with his sword. Kagura gave up when she knew that they weren't going to seriously fight her; Sadaharu had finished his business anyway, so she stormed off with her pet following closely at her heels.
She crossly munched sukonbu that she had taken out when she heard "Wake up you idiot, or I'm going to kill you!" and the explosion that resounded through the park as the Price of Sadists activated the land mines underneath Hijikata's feet.
Sighing, the girl thought to return to the Yorozuya; after all, there was nothing to do and her favourite TV show was going to start. Admittedly feeling more cheerful, she hurried to return.
When she saw the empty residence, she commented, "Are? Gin-chan left?" The girl leaned her umbrella by the door and set to preparing Sadaharu's lunch as the fatigued dog slumped on the floor. She flipped through channels, decided on a drama, and leapt onto the couch to watch the show. A ripple passed through the air and her surroundings. Uneasy from the strange and sinister sensation, she saw that the television had frozen. Kagura at once tapped (or banged) on the television in an attempt to fix it. The television didn't respond. She turned around to complain to Sadaharu and was shocked when she noticed the giant dog was still, eyes wide open, face plunged in the food bowl.
"Sadaharu? Don't you want to eat lunch?" the Chinese girl wondered aloud as she glanced at the dog. But he didn't reply or move. This can't be happening!She wouldn't let it happen, she couldn't. Apprehensively, the Yato warrior flung the door open and jumped down from the balcony. Everywhere she could see, people were suspended in motion, some in the middle of their lunch (which she took bites out of), vendors with mouths open, and passer-bys stood immobile. She waved her hand in front of a Cheetah Armanto and weakly laughed when the alien didn't move. It is happening! But I thought the doors were sealed!
Her thoughts were interrupted by a yell. Astonished, Kagura jumped on the roof to try and locate the source of the sound. She stumbled in surprise when she saw a natural perm in the center of five mysterious black creatures with large bright yellow eyes closing in on him.
Why's Gin-chan able to move when time stopped? And why are those things targeting him? She watched him futilely slash at the strange beings with his wooden sword. I'd help him, but my weapon won't work on those things, since there's no charm on it. My Conformer's not here either. If I jump in, I'd only be a liability, so I shouldn't draw attention to myself right now.
"Ah, why does this happen to me! I finally get my Jump, and weird midgets in costumes are trying to steal it! But why won't my sword hit-"Gintoki Sakata's voice cut through the silent atmosphere as he panicked. "First a stupid ninja comes to kill me for it, now Armanto are trying to- you'll never get it!" He proclaimed. There was a flash of stabbing light and to Kagura's complete surprise, something akin to a key appeared in Gintoki's hand.
It' s the Kingdom Key! Kagura thought in shock. Then the worst must have happened...He's gone and they're back...
"Are? Is this bankai? Bankai?" Gintoki looked at the item in his hand. "WHAT?? This is my bankai? Why does it look so childish!??" As he waved the mysterious object around, it accidentally came into contact with one of the blob-like life forms that were slowly advancing on him. His eyes widened in astonishment as the dull-looking blade slashed through the creature and it vanished. "All right!" He dropped his wooden sword, and concentrated on the remaining Heartless, which now charged at him. "Bankai!"
No, that's wrong, Gin-chan, it's not bankai... The Yato warrior sweatdropped. Even if the Key had to go to someone, why did it go to Gin-chan? By now Sakata Gintoki had taken care of the Heartless, and was staring confusedly at his surroundings as a ripple disturbed the area and people were talking animatedly again. Kagura watched as the Key disappeared, and the silver-haired man was stock still for a moment in the center of the street. But it doesn't matter.She jumped down in front of Gin-chan as he retrieved his fallen Shonen Jump, and stared at his hand.
"Kagura-chan!" Gintoki had noticed her presence and was looking at her. "Where were you? I was out buying Jump when time stopped and strange things came out so I activated my bankai-"The China girl cut him off with a smack to the head- "Ow!" and dragged him as fast as she could to the Yorozuya.
"Ow, ow... Kagura-chan?" Gintoki was curious about her abnormal behaviour.
" Gin-chan... you can't stay here anymore."
"W-w-what?" She could hear Gintoki's obvious bewilderment at her serious demeanour as he stuttered. "Did granny kick us out of the Yorozuya? She just said we didn't have to pay this month's rent."
"Gin-chan, you haven't even paid last month's rent." Kagura sighed. "But it's not that."
"What are you saying?" Gintoki asked when they finally reached the Yorozuya.
"It's not safe to stay here anymore." The Yato girl pulled him into the alley beside it and quickly scrambled for the wall. "Where's the button with the 'pochi' sound?"
"Uh- you should probably go to a doctor." He said as he condescendingly patted her on the head. "You need some help-"He added as Kagura located what she was looking for and pressed it with a 'pochi'. Abruptly, something strange occurred. An odd spacecraft materialized seemingly out of nowhere. The ship was made of simple shapes, and adorned by bright red, yellow, and green. Gintoki's jaw dropped open as Kagura exclaimed "Found it!" and hopped down from the trashcan that she was standing on. "I haven't used this in such a long time..." She opened the door, and dragged the natural perm into the spaceship.
"What are you doing??" Gintoki was already sprawled on the floor of the ship, puzzled and incredulous of the circumstances. The interior of the ship was simple: an empty back, and in the front were two seats and a complicated-looking keyboard.
"Get up. We gotta go." Kagura pulled him up and pushed him into the passenger seat and sat down in the driver's. "Buckle up, 'cuz it's gonna be a wild ride." At this, the natural perm was jilted out of his stupor.
"Who are you? Why aren't you ending your sentences with -aru?" He questioned her.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your body was stolen by an alien and the alien wants to eat me, right?" Gintoki asked as he slowly edged towards the door. "Sorry Mr. Alien, but I don't-" He was cut off when Kagura punched the wall beside him.
"Aa? Were you saying something-aru?" She threatened as he paled, shaking his head and quickly returning to his seat. It really is Kagura-chan. She's talking like always. She also sat down, and locked eyes with him. "I saw everything."
"Everything? You saw me lose my clothes from Han-Chou yesterday night?" She glared at him in response.
" I meant you fighting those Heartless, and that you're now the new Keybearer."
"Have you ever met those black creatures before, or held that key in your life?" She started at him seriously, all traces of humour gone.
"No. I haven't activated bankai before." Poor Gin-chan was undoubtedly perplexed, so she started to explain.
"Why do I have to narrate...? There are other dimensions, worlds that outside of this one and I don't mean the Armanto planets outside of Edo." Seeing as this didn't clear up anything, she said, "Just know that those worlds can't be visited without this," she patted the seat. "There is always darkness in every heart, but if the amount of darkness exceeds the light, there is an imbalance. Those blob-things you saw are a result of that. We have to kill them before they destroy the whole universe." Still, Gintoki didn't understand, so she grabbed his samurai robe and said, "You have to go around and kill every one of those, and if you don't succeed... the universe will fade to darkness."
Sakata Gintoki jumped up at this. "What?? I have to save the universe?? Nah, don't want to." He slouched leisurely on the chair, flipped through his Shonen Jump and was about to start reading when Kagura whispered threateningly: "If you don't succeed, there'll be no more Shonen Jump!"
Sakata Gintoki fell out of his seat, so Kagura continued, "Well, if the universe is destroyed Shonen Jump won't exist anymore, will it?" At this, his eyes narrowed in determination. "Then bring it on! It won't be hard to kill every last one of them here." The Yato girl took this chance to set the co-ordinates for the Gummi ship. "Well, you're ready to fight them in all the worlds right? There are seven different main worlds we have to save to stop the Heartless, so let's go!"
Gintoki was horrified. "Seven?!" But it was too late; the ship was already shimmering and disappearing through a portal. He returned to his chair, and his eyes widened as he looked out the front window. The ship wasn't in Edo anymore. They were floating in a vast space, but it was green and yellow.
" May-Maybe I drank too much last night... I know, I passed out in front of the Yorozuya and I'm dreaming this." He muttered as he looked at Kagura smoothly manipulating the keyboard with a crazed attitude as she muttered, "In your face, old man." I'm not that old, am I? He looked down at his lap, and the wrinkles in the book were suddenly very accented to him. Why is my Jump so wrinkled when I just got it today? (Gasp) Have I aged without knowing? He panicked.
His horrified stupor was broken as he felt the ship slam into something.
Gintoki squinted at the keyboard. It looked different now; when had those strange looking controls appeared, and when had Kagura started laughing maniacally? And when did those odd life-forms that were currently attacking them appear-
"Ka-"
"I'm on it." The girl pressed a button (* pochi*) and the ship sent a multitude of lasers towards the odd-looking enemies.
"Shoot there's more!" Kagura shouted as she spun the ship around to face the Heartless and eliminated them while driving backward. As they continued through the portal, Kagura matured into an 18 year-old. She seemed to be a little taller, and her body had matured into that of a young woman. During this time, Sakata Gintoki had declared that he was insane and this was only his imagination.
"I'm imagining it, I'm imagining it, imagining it- "Kagura punched him out of his seat. Apparently her behaviour was still the same as always.
"Gin-chan, I need to concentrate!" She said as she swerved to avoid the various inanimate obstacles in her path and shot down the Heartless. Unfortunately, Gintoki had nothing to cling to for stability as the back was empty; he rolled around the back and collided with the walls when the ship flipped to evade incoming lasers. His shouts of pain were blocked out by Kagura's humming as she concentrated on exterminating her targets.
"Heh, heh. Think you can outwit me?" She murmured as she launched several missiles at the final adversary and it responded by sending out lasers. Gin-chan was scrambling to reach the front, and he finally clung to the leg of his chair. Kagura grinned in satisfaction as her opponent exploded and the ship was sucked into a keyhole-like...opening. The ship reached the other side of the keyhole, and Gintoki and Kagura found themselves in a different world.
"Er, I'm not so good at landings, so hold on tight!" She whimpered as she lowered the ship.
The natural-perm samurai realized she was going to land. "Wait, wait-" The wobbling Gummi ship crashed onto the ground. "-a minute." Gintoki clutched his head that had slammed into the wall upon arrival. When finally the pain subsided, he realized he was alone, and glanced at the open door. Walking out of the ship he grumbled, " My ass is sore... Are?"
"Isn't the view nice?" Came the happy exclamation of Kagura. He looked to the side and there she was, stretching and admiring the scenery laid out before them. Gintoki then took in his surroundings. The sky had a red sunset glow to it, and the houses all had thatched roofs. There were a few people wandering about in the square, but what was the most odd were the shopkeepers. He heard ducks vendors call out and bat-like puffy bear things (Moogles) who were patiently hovering above their goods. Armanto?
Gintoki's eye started to twitch... then his hand clenched into a fist and he hit Kagura on the head. "Where have you brought us, you idiot!?"
"Oww!" Kagura winced at the pain and angrily replied, "It's one of the main worlds we have to go to." Then she brightened and smirked at him, "Welcome to Hollow Bastion."
