Finished unpacking my luggage and sorts, I stepped out the street and gave a wide look on the street.

Birds flying through the cerulean sky, while the sun brimming in shine which is a little too hot for me to handle. After all these years living in the countryside alone, I had decided to come to Edo and look for a decent living, as many of the countryside people would normally do.

However, it is still my first time coming to Edo by myself... Although I had never went out of the countryside before, even when my parents still existed. Being the curious 18 years old, I'm obviously not going to live by the countryside until the day I die, or that someone who like to play with rocks and stones would accidentally kill me. Seems stupid but it's the truth, I had my beloved Kintarou killed by a naughty boy with a rock before and that traumatized me, for some reason.

But then, ...what a big city! It seems the streets are endless and I soon find out that I am lost in the middle of the streets full of strangers...Should have asked for a map when I visited my neighbor, the creature who had came to dominate the Earth... I mean, he's quite good in the inside despite his fearful appearance. So it's true that Edo is now filled with strange people known as the Amanto. I thought it was just a boring grandma story when Grandma Umeko read through her son's letter. What to do? I suppose I should ask for directions from somebody, or else I'm going to wander through the streets...for eternity, maybe?

...There's an oddly looking guy with an afro staring at me while standing just in front of the Pachinko parlor. Hmf, guy in his mid-twenties playing pachinko in the daylight? So that's what they usually call them...Middle-Aged-Dumb-Ass-Oldies, THE MADAO...

"...It's quite rude to stare on someone who you are not familliar with, don't you think?"

No answer.

Wait, what's with him? Why wouldn't he make a sound? ...Just how rude will this man be, I wonder.

In your younger days your Mama would have taught you that you must answer when somebody asks you questions!

"Hey, the guy there with the afro. I'm talking to you."

"...?"

Don't "?" me, dammit. And don't look around you as if there's another afro nearby...YOU are the only one here with an afro!

An orange coloured afro, in addition. What kind of fashion is this? Do they call this the Harajuku Fashion in the cities? It's no use trying to fool me by wearing your normal kimono with THAT kind of hairstyle... not even your Boomerang Grandpa would accept that either! He would be tearing off your hair until you are bald with his 90-degrees boomerang!

Pointing to himself, the orange afro has finally realized that I was talking to him. However it seems that he still doesn't have the urge to speak up.

It does look like he's having a hard time trying to speak up, since he's suddenly sweating for a whole bunch... Ah~ I get it. He must be one of the shut-ins who have recently started to get out of his own box and now facing trouble speaking up after these time. Hmmhmm, it must be so!

...If not I would tear off that afro of yours and see if the hair will ever grow back after that *evil smirk*


FYI this is a fanfiction for the series Gintama. And I do not own Gintama, other than Okita's eyemask *lol*

OC as the main character, and of course as the title suggests, this is a fanfiction concentrating on the Shinsengumi's 3rd unit leader, Saitou Shimaru. The one guy who bears a similiar appearance to our beloved silver-haired MADAO *pfft*

For those who have not read the manga would not know who is he though, since he had currently made his appearance in the manga only. But we could be expecting him in this incoming new season on Apr 2015, who knows? If so I would be putting firecrackers filled with gorilla fairies everywhere *lol*
