I don't own Gintama or Aladdin so don't sue me! lol
Follow me to a place where incredible feats
are routine every hour or so
Where enchantment runs rampant
gets wild in the streets
Open Sesame and here we go
Edo Nights
like Edo days
They tease and excite
Take off and take flight
They shock and amaze
Edo Nights
like Edo days
more often than not
are hotter than hot
in a lot of good ways
Pack your shield, pack your sword
you won't ever get bored
Though get beaten or gored you might
C'mon down stop on by
hop a carpet and fly
to another Edo Night.
A shady looking man comes out of an alley in Kabuki-chou in Edo. The man has a cloak over his clothes and his long black hair trails down his back, after he pulls off his hood.
"Well, what have we here? My name is unimportant but I am a merchant with wares to sell. Now what might you be interested in? A coffeepot, a rice cooker, or maybe something rarer is your game?" The mysterious man barters.
That is until a man comes out shouting, "Zura! Why are you outside my apartment and dressed like you're in the desert?"
"It's Katsura, not Zura! Gintoki, this is my scene, you don't come in for a while! Go back and stop ruining my scene!" The merchant Katsura screamed.
"Geez," Gintoki sardonically replies, "I think you ruined that with the fake beard but whatever."
After a little while of silence, the merchant Katsura was calm enough to reprise his role.
"Well," as he cleared his throat, "now that that's out of the way, here is something extraordinary." He holds a golden lamp, simplistic styled.
"Wait," he exclaims, "this might seem ordinary but it once changed a young man's life. Well now that your attention is back, our story begins on a dark night with a dark man with a dark purpose…"
In a dark spot in the desert on the beaches off Edo, a dark man waited with his parrot-
"Parrot?! Sougo I am no parrot dammit!" The parrot squawked.
"Relax, Hijikata-san. Don't you know the story so far has a loyal parrot and I'm Jafar." The dark man explained.
"Well," the man replied, "I don't squawk! And why am I the parrot?"
After a moment of silence, the dark man responded with, "The author cast our roles. Just like China-girl is-"
Suddenly a young woman interrupted the dark man before he could continue.
"No, you will not disclose my cast, Okita. The cast list will be at the end of the story, you find out as the story goes who's who." The author chastised.
"Why? Author-san, you don't let us have any fun." Okita complained.
"It's Jamie and why must you use –san? I'm not that old to be called miss am I?" she inquired.
Hijikata-san intervened, "No more fighting, let's get back on track okay?"
As the author mumbled, "Jerk," the story moved back to Jafar A.K.A. Okita and Hijikata waiting for someone named…
"Zenzo, you're finally here! Do you have it?" Okita asked expectantly.
As Zenzo made to present the treasure in his hand, he replied, "I want my treasure, my lifetime of Jump first."
When he demanded his quarry, Hijikata put his sword in his face and shouted, "Don't be greedy you damn ninja deadbeat."
But before Zenzo could respond, Okita shot his cannon on his shoulder and made a small crater on the beach. This created an uneasy but a silence nonetheless.
"Well, give me what I asked and you can have your Jump." He told the ninja.
Once the golden piece of the scarab was united with Okita's half, it seemed to turn into an actual scarab and fly into the distance through the beach. Okita, Hijikata and Zenzo sped after it for quite a distance before it suddenly stopped over a spot in front of them. Suddenly and magically, a cave molded itself out of the sand into the shape of a giant cat.
Okita shoved Zenzo toward the cave and said, "You'll get your Jump as long as you get me the lamp. Don't touch anything until you get the lamp!"
Zenzo gulped as he approached the cave in the sand. When he was at the literal mouth of the cave, the cave shouted, "Who disturbs my slumber?"
"It is I, Zenzo, the honorable ninja," he stated.
"Only one may enter, the diamond in the rough," was what the Cave of Wonders replied.
Okita and Hijikata looked at each other quizzically as Zenzo looked to Okita as well. Okita just waved for him to go on and enter. Just as Zenzo thought he was okay after a step, the Cave of Wonders clamped its jaws on him burying him. It resonated, "The diamond in the rough," as the cave disappeared to both men in the dark.
"Sougo, what the hell happened? What is with this diamond in the rough?" Hijikata shouted at Okita.
Okita sighed as he replied, "I'm not sure but we need to find out. Let's go!"
Meanwhile, in the marketplace, a disturbance was occurring. A young man had stolen a loaf of bread with his companion as well.
[Gin:] Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
(That's Everything!)
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke
[Guards:] Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
[Gin:] Just a little snack, guys
[Guards:] Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Gin:] I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Shinpachi!
[Tsukky:] Who?
Oh, it's sad, Gin's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
[Gin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!
One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block
[Guards:] Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!
[Gin:] Let's not be too hasty
[Ayame:] Still I think he's rather tasty
[Gin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
[Guards:] Wrong!
[Gin:] One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
(Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Street rat!)
One trick ahead of disaster
(Scoundrel!)
They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Take that!)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump
After the commotion, both the young men miraculously flew off on a carpet to escape.
"Well, finally we have some food!" Gin exclaimed as he chomped into the bread. Just as he started eating, Shinpachi noticed two hungry children looking for food in garbage cans.
"Gin-san, let's give the food to the kids," Shinpachi suggested as Gin gave him a face. Shinpachi shook his head as he approached the children.
"Here, take this. It's okay," Shinpachi offered the bread to the young girl and boy.
Gin held onto his bread but after looking at the children for a while, he went over to approach them. He reluctantly handed over his bread, which caused the children to smile and hug him. Gin seemed content to have helped out the kids in a similar situation that he'd been in. Before long, Shinpachi noticed the procession coming into Edo.
"Hmm…Wonder what this is all about," Gin pondered.
"Gin-san, it looks like they're headed toward the castle, something to do with that Yato princess," Shinpachi put forth as an explanation. Gin-san seemed to be thinking about it but didn't seem too concerned, Shinpachi noticed.
Just then, the two little kids they'd just helped ran in front of the suitor for the Yato princess.
"You bratty kids, get out of my way!" Prince Dai shouted as he went to hit the children. Gin jumped in and got hit defending the children.
"You could do with learning some manners, street rat," Prince Dai stated coldly.
Gin snorted slightly as he said, "If I was as rich as you, I could just buy some."
He chuckled before the prince's face, darkened with fury. The prince hmphed haughtily as he headed off towards the castle again. The children had been herded back away from the road when the prince retaliated with a quip harshly and with a sneer on his face, "You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat and only your fleas will mourn you!"
Just as Prince Dai uttered those harmful words, he entered the castle gates and was gone. Gin was both furious and hurt by those words but settled for shouting after the pompous prince, "I don't have fleas!"
Shinpachi felt bad since that prince didn't know anything about them or Earth.
"Come on Gin-san, let's go home. People like that aren't worth it," Shinpachi said as reassuringly as possible. Without turning around, Gin just simply said, "Yeah, home sounds good."
Riffraff, street rat
I don't buy that
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy? No, siree
They'd find out
There's so much more to me
