Chapter 1: Never get sucked into a portal, no matter how much it tries to suck you in

-3rd POV-

On a bright and sunny, but boring, day, the Yorozuya trio was sitting around, doing nothing.

Gintoki Sakata was in his spinning chair, with his feet on the table, and was also reading through his weekly JUMP. Kagura sat in one of the couches, where she had her legs crisscrossed, eating her favorite snack, sukonbu. Shinpachi Shimura, well, he was listening to some of Tsu Terakado's music, since he is a fan of her (No matter how inappropriate her lyrics were). He was sitting on the other couch in front of Kagura. Sadaharu, Kagura's pet, was taking a nap beside the table.

As Gintoki flipped a page in his JUMP, he complained in a dull, boring tone, "Oi, isn't anyone going to come by, and request something?"

While Shinpachi was bouncing his head in rhythm from Otsu's music, Kagura said to the samurai, "The reason why we haven't gotten any requests since god-knows-how-long is because of your sweet-tooth. I swear, your teeth are going to rot from eating too many sweets, uh-huh."

She continued to chew on her sukonbu. Gintoki closed his JUMP, and glared at Kagura, "Don't say that, sour-pickle-fangirl. My teeth won't rot."

"How do you know, though? Eating sukonbu is much healthier, uh-huh."

"First off, sukonbu is not healthy; it's too sour for anybody. Secondly, I know that because I've been eating sweets since I can remember."

"You ate sweets, even when you were a baby? Wow, I bet you were fat while you were growing up, uh-huh!" Kagura began to laugh.

Shinpachi looked at the Yato girl, and raised a brow as to why she was laughing. Since he couldn't hear them, he took out one of the headphones, and asked, "What're you laughing at, Kagura-Chan?"

Kagura immediately answered, "Gin-Chan was fat when he was a kid, uh-huh! And he'll get fat within a week!"

An anger mark appeared on Gintoki's cheek. He slammed his JUMP down on the table, and stood up, charging towards the teenage girl.

When he was close enough, he grabbed the collar of her Chinese shirt, and exclaimed, "You don't know me! I was never fat when I was young, and I won't get fat in the future! Never, never! And also, my intestines digest the sweets fast enough so that I don't gain any weight!"

Shinpachi gave the silver-permed man a disgusted look before exclaiming as well, "We don't need to hear about your organs! We didn't even ask about that, anyway!"

"Shinpachi," Kagura began to speak as she dully stared at the boy. "You listen to Otsu's music 24/7, which is unhealthy. Perhaps you should stop, that way you won't get any pimples on your face."

"That's bullcrap! I don't really listen to her music 24/7, but I still love her! Besides, I've never had any pimples on my face!"

"But you'll experience them when you don't stop listening to her bleeped-up lyrics, uh-huh. Hell, you could probably be the first Gintama character who will get pimples! That would be awesome, uh-huh!"

"What's so awesome about me getting pimples?! If you had pimples, you would hate it!"

Kagura replied as she pushed Gintoki's hands away from her collar, "We Yato's don't get pimples, even when we're growing old. The Yato skin is not only translucent, but it's also pimple-free, uh-huh."

Gintoki gave out a rough sigh before starting to walk back to his spinning chair. But when he took only two steps, there was a sudden white light in the middle of the living room. Gintoki, Kagura and Shinpachi all stared at the light, which was apparently floating.

They all went behind the couch Kagura was sitting on. As the orb of light was beginning to grow, Kagura asked, "What in sukonbu hell's name is that?!"

Gintoki answered without looking at her, "It's the Gintama god!"

"Uh, I don't think there's such thing as a Gintama god," Shinpachi muttered as a drop of sweat rolled down his cheek.

The orb shrunk, which caused the Yorozuya trio to be confused. They all stared at each other, but just then, the orb grew again, only this time, it was big. It became so big, that it was as tall as Gintoki.

Just as they were all widening their eyes, the orb created a portal, which was now starting to suck them in. The first person that was being sucked in was Shinpachi. His headphones somehow fell out of his ears. He fell on the floor as his body was being pulled.

Shinpachi screamed, "GIN-SAN!"

Gintoki widened his dead-fished eyes at the teenage boy, but said, "Why're you on the floor? Was it force or something?"

"HELP ME, YOU IDIOT!"

Without thinking (Since he was panicking), Shinpachi grabbed onto Gintoki's ankles. He pulled his ankles, which caused Gintoki to fall on the floor as well. He gave out an "OOMPH!" as his head hit the wooden floor. Gintoki turned around, making his stomach go on top of it, though Shinpachi was still holding onto him.

Kagura shed a drop of sweat as well, but she exclaimed, "You punks should go! I'm not going to risk being in a strange world!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE THIS PORTAL THING IS GOING?!" Gintoki shouted angrily. He grabbed onto Kagura's ankles, and pulled her down. She shockingly looked at him as her body hit the floor.

Shinpachi shouted yet again, "WHERE THE HELL IS THIS THING TAKING US?!"

Gintoki responded, "MAYBE IT'S GOING TO HEAVEN, OR EVEN HELL!"

"THAT CAN'T BE IT! IS THIS GOING TO BRING US TO THE PAST?!"

"HOW THE FUCK SHOULD I KNOW?!"

Shinpachi grabbed onto Gintoki's legs, and started climbing on him. He climbed until his arms were wrapped around Gintoki's waist. Gintoki did the same thing to Kagura.

As Kagura clawed onto the floor, she begged Sadaharu (Who was already awake by the time), "SADAHARU! HUMP ME! HUMP ME!"

The silver-haired samurai corrected her, "ITS 'HELP ME'! WE DID THIS 'HELP ME' CORRECTING THING BACK IN THAT EPISODE WHERE COCKROACHES WERE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!"

"THAT ONLY LASTED FOR HALF AN EPISODE!" Shinpachi said.

Sadaharu looked a bit scared to help them, but he tossed Kagura her umbrella. Kagura managed to crawl a little, and grabbed the handle of it. She exclaimed, "You're supposed to hump us, Sadaharu!"

"IT'S 'HELP ME'!" Both Gintoki and Shinpachi corrected.

They all tried their hardest to not get sucked into this strange portal, but unfortunately for them, the portal was too strong for them to resist. The trio was pulled into the swirling portal, and soon enough, the portal closed up. The light disappeared, and Sadaharu walked, but stomped, to the spot where the light was.

He blinked his big eyes, and gave out a whine. Just where exactly would the Yorozuya trio be going to?

-Natalie's POV-

I lied on my bed while looking through my anime magazine. My friend was listening to some of the music on my phone, and as long as she wouldn't break my phone, I was fine with her listening to as much music as she would like to.

My name is Natalie Johatson. I live in a small city of Wyoming. I am a sophomore in high school, and the one thing I didn't tell very many people was that I watch anime.

I have blond hair, but the back of my hair was like a buzzcut. There were always long, blonde sideburns hanging beside my cheeks. I also have icy-blue eyes, and had crystal earings.

My friend was sitting in the chair in front of my desk, but turned, and asked me, "Natalie, what's this song called?"

"How does it go?" I asked back.

"It goes 'A moment, a love, a dream, aloud' or 'a laugh', I don't know."

I smiled, "That's Sweet Disposition."

"Oh, thank you," My friend smiled back. I gave her a nod.

My friends name is Vanya Xephur. She's actually a foreign exchange student from Croatia. She was a redhead, and her hair was short, only it wasn't a buzzcut like mine (It was chin-length). Some of her hair was curled up, and has a small gap on her forehead. She has brown eyes.

Vanya's a senior in school, but we became friends in October. Right now, it was March, and it would only be about two weeks before spring break. Vanya is only in two of my classes, but we either talk to each other during lunch, or that Vanya comes over to my house.

She crossed her legs as I continued to look through my anime magazine. Vanya wasn't really a fan of anime, but she occasionally watches anime movies. I, on the other hand, watch a lot of anime, and I only watch them in the original Japanese version.

Vanya gave out a few quiet music notes while still listening to music. But her brown eyes widened slightly, and asked me another question as she pulled out a headphone from her ear, "Oh, Natalie! Do you have anything planned for spring break?"

I turned my head slightly to look at my friend. I answered, "Not that I can think of. Why?"

"I was thinking that maybe we could go shopping! Maybe we can get you to wear a dress for the dance in April!" Vanya gave me a smirk as she squinted her eyes.

I rolled my eyes, and sat up, replying, "Vanya, you know I'm not into dresses. I'm even not into dances, either."

It was true. I wasn't into dresses, or even skirts. For my clothing style, I would almost always wear dark short-sleeved shirts, and jeans, unless it was hot. For Vanya's clothing style, she likes to wear light shirts, and skirts that looked pretty to her. She always wears white calf-length socks, and white slippers (Not bed-slippers).

Vanya pretended to pout, and said, "Fine. I'm going to look super-pretty at the dance, so that guys will find me attractive."

"You once told me that you didn't want a boyfriend."

"Natalie, you know I'm just messing with you."

Once again, my eyes rolled. I turned around, and placed my feet on the floor, but I was still sitting on my bed. I closed my magazine up as I said, "I'm going to get something to eat."

She was still listening to music, so it was obvious enough that she didn't hear me. I went out of my room, and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

When I was in the kitchen, I opened up the refrigerator, and pulled out a slice of left-over pizza. I took a bite of it while closing the fridge. I went back upstairs.

As soon as I was in my room, Vanya turned her head around, seeing me out of the corner of my eye. She saw that I was holding a slice of pizza, and she asked, "Ooh, can I have a bite?"

I chuckled, "Okay, but not a big bite."

I handed the pizza towards Vanya's mouth, but when it was close to her, she quickly took a big bite of it. I widened my icy-blue eyes, and gave her a glare when she gulped the bite down.

I exclaimed, "Vanya, I told you to not have a big bite!"

She replied while smiling, "Sorry, but I couldn't hear you."

"Gee, why am I not surprised?" I murmured, still glaring at my Croatian friend.

Vanya just shrugged her shoulders.

Suddenly, I heard my mom's voice. "Vanya! It's time for you to get going!"

Vanya pulled out both the headphones, and said as she set them, plus my phone, on my desk, "Well, it seems that I'm getting picked up." Even though mom didn't mention that, Vanya knew that she was going to get picked up, since it was getting dark out.

Because Vanya's a foreign exchange student, she "lives" in a house with her host family. She's only there until soon after she graduates, and I'll admit, I'll be sad when she leaves.

She stood up, and grabbed her backpack as she said to me, "See you in school tomorrow."

I waved at her, repeating, "See ya."

With that, she walked out of my room. She went down the stairs, and headed out the door.

A sigh escaped my lips as I bit my lower lip. I thought, It'll only be less than three months before Vanya graduates. Jeez, why does time have to fly so fast?

I stopped biting my lip, but gazed at the mini-shelf on my desk. I decided to walk over to the mini-shelf, and when I was in front of it, I pulled out a DVD. And it wasn't just any DVD. It was the Gintama movie DVD.

The English version of the Gintama movie came out a few months ago, and when I heard their voices, I was in so much shock, it was unbelievable. The English version of it was so bad, and I'm not saying it because I prefer the original Japanese version. Thankfully, I don't have to hear the dub ever again. But the good thing about it was that the DVD finally came out in America. That way I won't have to search for the movie on the internet.

Anyway, I looked at the back of the Gintama DVD, and just stared at some of the characters that were on the case. I blinked, wondering, If some of the Gintama characters came into this world, would they be freaked out by it? Meh, perhaps, but that's not possible. No anime character would magically come into the real world.

There wasn't a specific character that was my favorite, but I liked almost everybody as long as they weren't bitchy, like Matako or Ayame, or extremely violent, like Otae.

I suddenly smirked at myself, and said to no one in particular, "That would've been cool, if the Yorozuya appeared in this world." I put the DVD on top of my desk.

A few hours later, I realized that it was getting late. I still had school tomorrow, so I needed my sleep, that way I wouldn't be so cranky.

I said to my parents, "Good-night."

They both replied, "Good-night."

I went into my room, and changed into my pajamas. Well, when I go to bed, I just wear a green tang-top, with no pants. But if I do get out of my room, then I wear pajama pants. I turned off the light, and then walked over to my bed, where I slid under the blanket.

As soon as the blanket went to my chin, I closed my eyes, and went to sleep.

My alarm clock was already turned on, so I didn't have to worry about being late to school.

There were various dreams in my head, but they were all pretty déjà vu. I rarely get nightmares, but whenever I do, I'll just get a drink of water.

Although my eyes were still closed, I could see some sort of light through my eyelids. Almost immediately, I slowly opened up my eyes, and lifted my upper body up. But my vision was a little blurry, and I tend to heavy sleep, so I couldn't tell what that light was. So I chose to go back to sleep, since my eyes were still sleepy.

I was able to sleep through the night, as usual.

Another couple of hours later, my alarm clock went off.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

A groan escaped my mouth, but my hand was able to turn the alarm off. When it was switched off, my eyelids were lifting up.

6:30. Okay, I still have another half an hour of sleep.

When my eyes were closed yet again, I could've sworn I felt something heavy on my legs. My blonde brows knitted as I thought, What the hell is on my legs? Is it my mom or dad? No, they wouldn't push their hands on my calves. And I don't have any pets…so what is on my legs?

Knowing that just guessing wouldn't help, I quickly opened my eyes, and grunted, "Who's on my calves?"

The moment I saw what was on top of me, I paused.

There was a small, chibi-like anime character with red hair and buns on the sides of her head.

My brow twitched as I thought again, Huh? HUH?! Is that Kagura?! No, no, no, that can't be it! Perhaps I'm still dreaming!

I used the palms of my hands to rub my eyes. I stopped rubbing them, but I still saw the same anime character.

I was about to scream, but since my parents were probably already downstairs; I covered my mouth with my right hand.

The girl asked, "What's your problem, lady? Are you frightened? You're definitively frightened, uh-huh."

Shockingly, she was speaking in English. And the English sounded nothing like the English version in the Gintama movie. Her Japanese voice sounded the same.

But just then, I also saw two other chibi-like characters. This time, it was Gintoki Sakata and Shinpachi Shimura. Chibi Shinpachi grunted, "Ugh, this is hard to climb on."

Chibi Gintoki said as he jumped onto my bed, "That's because you're weak."

"OI! DON'T CALL ME WEAK! I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO CLIMB, IT'S JUST SO BIG!"

I blinked multiple times in major confusion.

Hold on, yesterday, I wondered what it would be like for the Gintama characters to appear in this world…did somebody hear my thoughts or something?! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!

Chibi Kagura jumped off my legs, but walked over to me. She was in front of my chest, and asked, "Oi, lady. Can you tell us why we're here in this strange place?"

I stared at her, but asked back, "How am I supposed to know?! I just found out you came into my room!"

As the other two were walking towards me, I took a deep breath. I whispered, "Okay, calm down, Natalie. Maybe you'll actually wake up. Yes, I should pinch myself!"

"I'll do it or you, uh-huh," Kagura said as she pinched my forearm.

Immediately, my eyes widened, and I held my arm, exclaiming, "OW!"

"See? You're not dreaming."

Realizing that this really wasn't a dream, I asked the trio, "Okay…where did you come from?"

"Where do you think?" Gintoki asked as he picked his nose with his tiny finger. "From Edo in Gintama."

"But…how are you still anime when you're in the real world?!" It was really shocking to see them still anime-like, plus they were moving their lips the same way as in the anime. It was like the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" where some of the cartoon characters were in the real world. But this was completely different, because this wasn't a movie. This was reality.

Shinpachi furrowed his brows as he responded, "To be honest, miss, we don't know either. And as for how we got here, one minute, we were sitting in the Yorozuya house, and the next minute, there was a strange portal sucking us in. Now, we're small! We've turned into chibi's!"

"H-How exactly did you get here, though?"

Gintoki pointed at my Gintama DVD as he explained, "We came out of that DVD, and when we saw this room or whatever, we were in shock."

Kagura exclaimed, "You didn't look like you were shocked! You were gloomy as usual, uh-huh!"

"You can shut up!" He exclaimed back at the girl. Gintoki looked at me again, and added, "By the way, why're we speaking in English? Our tones are the same, but our language isn't."

I replied as I landed a hand on my chest, "Hey, I'm shocked myself!" Just then, a knock came on my bedroom door.

I gasped as I heard, "Natalie, are you okay?" It was my mom.

Panic was already running through my brain. I didn't want either of my parents to know that three anime characters, that were in chibi form, were in my room. How would I explain to them what happened?

I answered, giving out a lie, "Uh, I-I had a nightmare! I was talking to myself, yes!"

"Okay then. You should probably get up now."

"R-Right!" I got out of my bed, but noticed that my underwear was exposed. I gasped quietly as I turned my head around, seeing the Yorozuya trio. Shinpachi flushed as he turned away.

Gintoki, on the other hand, just looked at me, asking, "What? Aren't you going to get dressed or something?"

My teeth clenched, and I quietly told him, "Don't look when I'm in my underwear!" Strangely enough, my cheeks were starting to burn in embarrassment. Gintoki rolled his red eyes, turning his back.

Very quickly, I grabbed a pair of dark-blue jeans, putting them on. I then took off my tang-top, and put on a bra and a short-sleeved black shirt.

When I tossed my tang-top on my bed, Gintoki and Shinpachi turned back around, seeing that I was dressed up.

I stared at them as they stared at me back. I sighed, saying quietly so that my parents wouldn't hear me, "Listen, you three. I may not know why you got sucked into that portal you mentioned, but I'm not going to let my parents find out about any of you. How am I going to explain this if they see you?"

Kagura answered as she picked her nose, "Tell them that we're adorable looking dolls, uh-huh."

"I don't think they would fall for that."

"We can freeze so that no one will find out about us being in this strange world."

"Don't call it strange, young lady," I glared at Kagura.

Shinpachi looked at my bedroom window, and asked, "Miss? Can you tell us where we are?"

I blinked my eyes before looking at the window as well. I told Shinpachi, plus the other two, "You're in a small town of Wyoming, in America."

"Wyoming?" Gintoki repeated as he jumped off my bed, hitting his small feet on the floor. "That sounds like 'why do I see Ming'."

"No it doesn't!" I snapped slightly as I glared at him as well. I cleared my throat eventually, and continued, "Do you have any idea as to who caused the portal in your world?"

They all shook their head. Shinpachi frowned, "We have no idea, miss. We can't tell whether it was an accident, or if it was on purpose."

I sighed, "Okay, and how are you going to return to your world?"

"HOW IN THE HELL SHOULD WE KNOW?!" They all shouted at me, which caused me to flinch.

My hands waved up and down at them. "Alright, alright, sorry. Well, since you're stuck here for now, I guess I have no choice but to hide you when I'm in public."

Kagura asked as she held her purple umbrella, "Does that mean you won't make us hide in this room the whole time we're here?"

"No, because I don't really trust you three being alone in my room. What if you break something? Then I would get angry."

Shinpachi asked as he blinked his brown eyes, "Miss…what's your name?"

I had forgotten that I never introduced myself to them, so I responded, "My name is Natalie Johatson."

"Hm, your name sounds weird," Gintoki dully said.

I knitted my blonde brows, and replied, "You shouldn't be talking."

"What, you think my name is weird?"

"I never said that. It's just that my name is American, so you shouldn't be saying that my name is weird."

I looked at the clock, and saw that it was 6:41. I ruffled the top of my blonde hair, and said, "Okay, I have school today, and since I already told you that I don't trust you being alone in here, I'm going to need you three to hide in my backpack throughout the day."

I pulled my backpack from beside my bed, and set it on top. When the trio looked at my backpack, Kagura and Gintoki frowned. Kagura exclaimed, "There's no way I'm gonna be in that big bag, crowding with perm guy and Glasses-San!"

Shinpachi angrily said, "It's not Glasses-San!"

Kagura ignored him as I let out an irritated sigh. "I'm sorry, but do you want to be seen in public?" This caused Kagura to frown even more.

She scoffed, "Fine, I'll go in there, but if these freaks crush me, I'll fart on them, uh-huh!"

"HEY!" Both Gintoki and Shinpachi glared at her.

I unzipped the zipper on my camouflage-colored backpack, and opened it up widely. I told them, "Get in."

They all looked pretty hesitant. I repeated, "Get in. All there is in my backpack is my binder, so you won't get crushed."

Gintoki shrugged his shoulders before climbing onto my bed again. He then walked over to my bag, and jumped up, getting into it. I saw his small head popping out, and he said, "Huh, this doesn't seem bad."

Kagura was the next to get in. She jumped like Gintoki, only it was higher. She was beside Gintoki, and she agreed, "Wow, this actually seems cool, uh-huh!"

Now it was Shinpachi's turn. I looked at the chibi, but he still looked hesitant. I frowned at him, and told him, "Come on, Shinpachi. All you need to do is keep quiet while you're in my bag. I promise I won't hurt you."

Shinpachi gave out a sigh, "Alright. Let's just hope I won't suffocate in that thing." With that being said, he pulled himself up on the bag, and hopped in.

I took over the opening of my backpack, and asked, "Are you okay in there?" When they nodded their heads at me, I smiled slightly, and closed the zipper. I added, "Now don't make too much noise while I'm in public. I'll let you know when I'm in a private place, then you can talk."

I wrapped the strap over my right shoulder, and put on my socks and shoes. Soon, I headed out of my room, and went downstairs.

Even though I told them to be quiet, I was still afraid of them causing a lot of noise while I was around other people. People would get suspicious, and if they saw anime characters in the real world, there would be no doubt that they would freak out. Not only that, but they would most likely put them on the news.

I thought as I was heading towards the dining room, Just how exactly did they get sucked into a portal? Who could have caused that? Well, for now, I need to hide these three. But…maybe I can only tell Vanya this, since she is my friend.

It wouldn't be so bad to at least tell one person. Vanya has been my friend for only a few months, but I trusted her enough to keep secrets from others.

As I made myself a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, mom asked with a raised brow, "Natalie, are you prepared to go the school already?" A chuckle escaped her lips, but I yelped. Usually, I wouldn't have my backpack on me until I was all ready to go to school. But since she mentioned that, I had to think of a quick excuse.

And I did. I responded with a cracked smile, "I didn't want to forget my backpack when I'm ready, so…yeah."

Please believe me. I don't want mom or dad to get suspicious of me already!

Fortunately, mom chuckled yet again, "I see. Well, then it's a good thing, because I put your permission slip in your backpack."

I blinked, but just remembered, Oh yeah, that's right. I have a field trip to the art museum next Friday.

As I sat down in a chair, I decided to look and see if my permission slip was in my backpack. But when I opened it up slowly, Gintoki, Kagura and Shinpachi tried to stay still, and stay quiet. I was really lucky, because mom and dad didn't notice them, and hopefully, they would not notice them at all while the chibi Yorozuya was stuck in my world.

I carefully ruffled my hand behind my binder, and I felt a piece of paper. I lifted the paper out, and it turned out that my permission slip was in my backpack. I gave out a sigh of relief for that, and that my parents didn't see the three Gintama characters.

My backpack was closed again, but I ate my cereal, and continued to think, I really hope no one sees them, otherwise they're doomed.

After finishing my breakfast, I made the strap go over my shoulder like before. I went up the stairs, and then headed for the bathroom.

My hand pulled out my toothbrush. I grabbed the toothpaste, and squeezed some onto my toothbrush. I brushed my teeth.

Suddenly, my heart was beginning to beat a little fast. Was I that worried about the Yorozuya being seen? Perhaps I was.

In a matter of minutes, I was done. I spit out the toothpaste, and wiped my mouth with a towel as I put the toothbrush back.

Gintoki exclaimed through the backpack, "Oi! Kagura-Chan! Don't grab my hair!"

"I wasn't grabbing it! I was tugging on it, uh-huh!"

I ordered them in a whisper, "You guys, please be quiet! What if my parents were around me?!"

"I apologize, Natalie-San, but I think Kagura was being claustrophobic," Shinpachi said.

I sighed angrily, and went back downstairs. As my hands grabbed onto my backpack straps, I exclaimed, "I'll see you later!"

"Bye, Natalie," Dad replied.

As soon as I was out of my house, I took a deep breath, and walked to school.

I told them, "Okay, I'm not around anybody at the moment, but I still want you to be quiet."

Shinpachi replied, "Natalie-San, what's your world like? Yours is different than ours, so I feel a little intrigued by this."

"Shinpachi, you don't have to add the 'San' or any other honorific. In America, people don't refer to each other with an honorific. We just either call them by their first name, or we say 'Mister', 'Misses', or 'Miss'. But anyway, in my world, we have cars, and other stuff."

"Like what?" Gintoki dully asked me through the bag.

I answered, "There's too many to name, so I'll just show you three some stuff while you're stuck here."

Kagura exclaimed, "I want to find out who caused us to get sucked into that portal, uh-huh! When I find out who did it, I'll shoot them in the head with my parasol!"

"Kagura, you don't even know if it was an accident or on purpose."

"I don't give a crap! I'll make sure their pants are filled with doo-doo, uh-huh!"

A drop of sweat went down my cheek.

Gintoki told her, "Oi, oi. Calm down, Kagura-Chan. When we do find out who did it, you should plunge their heads in the toilet."

"I don't think it would work out that way," Shinpachi said to Gintoki.

I widened my eyes, seeing two other students walking to school. At first, I bit my lower lip, but I whispered, "I'm getting close to other people, so I want you to be quiet!"

Within seconds, they were silent.

I was passing the two girls, but one of them said, "I heard that Teresa's brother was hooking up with a senior."

"What?!" The other girl exclaimed. "That can't be true! What did he do?"

"I'm not exactly sure, but I also heard that her brother was flirting with her."

I stopped walking for a moment. I was thinking whether or not to say anything, but one of the girls replied, "Should we ask Teresa about it? But…then again, she probably wouldn't say anything, since she doesn't like to talk to people."

My body turned, and I said, "Teresa's brother was not flirting with a senior."

They both stopped walking as well, but one of them raised a brow, and asked, "How do you know? You weren't there."

"True, but I've met Teresa's brother. He once told me that he's not that stupid to hook up with a senior."

They widened their eyes at me. I wasn't embarrassed, but I knew I was barging into their business.

Expecting them to tell me that it was none of my business, one of them said as she scratched her hair, "Huh, I guess we were wrong. At least there's no false rumor in school." She chuckled, but I rolled my eyes, and continued to walk.

Kagura whispered, but I was able to hear her, "What was that all about?"

I responded to the girl, "It's nothing serious. You shouldn't worry about it." She probably wanted to know what had just happened, but she didn't bother to say anything else.

I knew Teresa, but we weren't exactly friends. It wasn't because I disliked her or anything; in fact, I don't dislike her at all! She just wasn't a very social person, and she gets a bit uncomfortable when other people try to talk to her.

Well, she actually has Asperger syndrome, so it made perfect sense, though I still wanted to talk to her more often.

I thought as I lowered my eyelids, Her brother isn't that stupid.

Teresa is 16, like me, and she's in the same school year as I am. Her brother is only nine years older than her, which means that he lives on his own. But Teresa lives with her brother, because she once told me that her parents would always yell at her (And her brother) for some reason. I did feel bad for her, but I was pretty glad she decided to live with her brother, that way her parents wouldn't always yell in front of her, since her ears are sensitive to loud noises.

When I was getting close to the school building, I saw very few students enter the school. The students at this school were allowed to roam in the halls before first period would start, as long as they didn't cause a lot of trouble.

Not long later, I entered the school as well, and walked through the halls.

I wonder where Vanya is. I need to speak to her in private, that way I can show her the Yorozuya trio. Of course, she doesn't watch anime, so I'll need to explain what show they're from.

Once again, I bit my lower lip. Vanya would definitively freak out, I know so. But I can't just keep this a secret, because we tell each other everything. Well, almost everything. The only thing I don't tell her is embarrassing stuff.

I wouldn't expect Vanya to arrive at school now, but I kind of wanted her to hurry up before class would start. Otherwise I won't have enough time to explain everything to her.

I chose to go to the girls' bathroom, because I wanted to have a conversation with the Yorozuya trio. So I dashed to towards the bathroom, and when I entered it, I checked to see if any other girls were in here.

There wasn't.

I took off my backpack, and held it, unzipping it. Gintoki, Shinpachi and Kagura poked their heads out slightly, and Kagura exclaimed, "Phew! Glad you opened it, blondy! These two were passing so much gas, I was about to pass out, uh-huh!"

Shinpachi yelled, "WE DID NOT PASS GAS! YOU WERE JUST BEING CLAUSTRAPHOBIC!"

"Shinpachi, you know I'm not claustrophobic. I don't like being in a crowded place with freaks, that's all."

"DON'T CALL US FREAKS!"

"Anyway!" Kagura started to change the subject. "Blondy, do we have to stay in this backpack the whole day while you're in school?"

I replied, "First of all, my name is Natalie, not blondy. Secondly, I'm not going to make you three stay in this bag the whole day. I'll let you out when I'm in a private place, but you three have to stick with me. Understand?"

"Okay, Natalie with weird hair!"

"Don't call my hair weird!" I exclaimed angrily.

Shinpachi nodded, "Don't worry, Natalie. We'll be sure to not run around in this…school of yours. What is the name is this school, anyway?"

"It's named Weldon High School."

He repeated, "'Weldon High School'…that's an unusual name."

"I guess," I admitted in a low tone. "Guys, I did say that I didn't want any of you to be seen, but I have a friend, so I'm only going to tell her about this whole mess you're in."

Gintoki said as he was pushing Kagura's head to the side, "How would a girl with weird-looking hair have a friend?"

Shinpachi widened his eyes at him, and exclaimed for the umpteenth time, "Gin-San! You should never ask her a question like that! It's rude!"

"Yeah, that was pretty rude," I agreed as I glared at the silver-haired chibi. "But back to my point. I'm only telling my friend this because I know she'll keep this a secret as well."

The teenage boy replied, "Will she freak out when she sees us?"

"Oh, I know she will." I rubbed my forehead, wondering how Vanya would react.

Let's just hope she'll let me explain everything.

---

It has been exactly one year since I posted "Two Worlds, One Life" (Has it really been a year already? Jesus.). At first, this idea was just random, but since my most reviewed story has been here for a year, I decided to wait until today to post this. And I did!

I will explain some things here.

I had to explain how Natalie could understand the Gintama characters so that you wouldn't get confused. Also, about the English version of the Gintama movie, I'm not saying I hate the people who like the dub. I just don't find it good at all (And it's not because I only watch anime in the original Japanese version).

More Gintama characters will appear in the next chapter. I also wasn't originally going to mention the girl, named Teresa, having aspergers until the next one, but I changed the mind. :P If anyone asks, no, I'm not going to literally put in every Gintama character in this.

This story is set in March of this year, just so you know. Also, there will be a few more OC's in this, and I'm not trying to add in a lot of OC's, but since this is set in our world, I'll try to put in as few OC's as possible. If there're people (Not Gintama characters) in this that're not named, then they don't count as an OC.

Oh, and this will be a long story (Which means that the reason why the Yorozuya, plus other characters, got sucked into the portal won't be for a while). Maybe it can go longer than my other one, but I'm not so sure. I guess it'll depend on how this story will go. There will be a few references from "Two Worlds, One Life", but you don't have to read that if you don't want to. This will be in both Natalie's and 3rd POV.

Well, hope you enjoyed the first chapter! :)
