"They've been gone for hours. Where are they?" Her worst fear. Her scariest nightmare. Edo was aflame. "Shinpachi!" she held him in her arms. "So cold. He's so cold." "Did you hear that?" "Come. Come with me. Come with me and live as a Yato." Okita watched Kagura walk away with her brother.

Prologue

It was late at night in Edo. Gintoki and Shinpachi had went out. Kagura was sitting by the door. "They've been gone for hours. Where are they?" She asked to no one in particular. She was about to go look for them but then Sadaharu started whining and scratching at the door. As she started to open it she heard a scream. She slammed it open to see her scariest nightmare. Her worst fear. The day she dreaded. Edo was aflame. The city she had grown to love was burning to the ground with her loved ones somewhere inside.

Kagura rushed out the door. She headed to the Edo tower while in her mind was everyone she knew and loved. Tsukuyo. Hasegawa. Tama. Yamazaki. Saachan. Katsura. Hijikata. Otose. Catherine. Kondo. Gin-chan. Otae. Shinpachi. Even the man she swore she hated, Okita Sougo. And so many others. She knew who was responsable for her beloved city burning. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She felt as if she drew her brother's attention to Edo.

Matako from the Kiheitai stood in front of her to block her from continuing. "Get out of my way!" Kagura cried as she struck her. 'What the hell happened to her?' Matako asked herself. Many enemies tried to get in her way but none stood a chance against her rage. Before her she then saw the pale bodies of Otae, Kyubei, Hasegawa, Catherine, and Otose.

In front of her Gintoki was fighting Takasugi. Their swords clashing like lightning. She cried with her head on her hands. Gintoki noticed her and took his eyes off Takasugi. "Kagura-chan! Watch out!" Shinpachi screamed as he stepped in front of her to get stabbed around the heart by Kawakami Bansai. "Shinpachi!" She held him in her arms. "So cold. He's so cold." She looked away from Shinpachi and saw Gintoki on the ground lying in his own blood.

She screamed. It was a bloodcurling sound filled with regret, dispair, sadness, fear and anger. Her eyes widened. Then yet another nightmare came true. She lost. She lost the battle she was always fighting. She lost to the one person she refused to lose to. A loss that she couldn't accept. She lost to herself. She charged at Takasugi with that same scream she had before only so much louder.

"Did you hear that?" Sougo asked Kondo as they fought their enemies. "It sounded like that china girl." Hijikata said. "Sougo, you go check it out." He ran in the direction he heard the scream. Okita Sougo saw a sight he never thought he'd see. Takasugi Shinsuke dead pierced by Kagura's umbrella. She sat on the ground with bodies surrounding her.

She had such a disturbed look in her eyes as she whispered "Shinpachi's dead. Gin-chan's dead. Anego's dead. Minna. Their all dead. It's... It's my fault. It's all my fault! I lost control! I lost! I'm Sorry!" Her whispers turned to screams until she was interupted. "Imouto-chan. It's not your fault." Kamui said in a creepy sympathizing voice. She ripped her umbrella out of Takasugi and pointed it at Kamui. "You didn't lose. You won. You're a yato not a human. Humans are weak. They'll all die while we survive. We can't love them." He reached out his blood covered hand. "Come. Come with me. Come with me and live as a Yato." She took it and walked away with him.

Okita watched Kagura walk away with her brother.
