WHAT?! - It's the Battle of the Season!!
"Gin", "Hijikata" VS "Gin-san!" "Toshiro-san!"
Chapter one - True Colors!

Gin-tama... Enjoy!! (and yes, i love imagination )

"really?! woa... its been what.. a century since isao found someone good enough for his standards!"

"yeah.. "you must be tough...able to handle pressure...able to eat salami...able to wear a tight suit...able to-" and the list goes on!"

Snicker. Snicker.

"well we'll see him soon enough- ah! there's the captain!"

At that note the shinsengumi that had been gathered by the leader of Kyoto's police organization, and also the brains and "true tensai"; Hijikata Toshiro stood up and saluted. "you do the honors, mayora" After a glare, and a few choking seconds... "ahem., yes, we have a new addition to our team; please welcome Hiyoko Kage. Please be nice to him."

Black hair. Black eyes. Black jacket. Make that a huge black jacket. Black. Black. Black.

"...Im gonna go black-sane.."

"ah..black..black..black..."

"...probably a distant, quiet, devil.. or genius.."

"yeah.. gotta watch out for him.."

ten days later...

"THE BIRD IT-IT PECKED ME-" The door bangs open, revealing a wild, scrambling, and black cloaked figure. Everything would be fine.. if only he didnt scream out...

"...what happened to "distant, quiet devil?!"

"..i thought he was supposed to be cool.." The shinsengumi sweat dropped, as hijikata and kondo tires to drag the new member away from hiding behind a pot-- to keep him restrained at a distance. He seemed to be really rather foolishly interested in pots...Finally they had to give up as Kage gone to the extent of bitting the commander's behind.. and the mayo king had to get a band-aid. "... mayora-we've gotta talk."

"This is the third time!!! THIRD TIME!!! He's TINY .. TINY like a FEMALE how the heck does he have that much bite power!? And also keeps eating here-he's making us bankrupt!!" Hissed the commander, rubbing his sore behind and growling. "..I know that he's incredibly fast as a fighter but did you see how much he SLACKED OFF during the last mission?! PLEASE..!! take him to a buffet once in a while or something-doesn't he live with you anyways?!"

"..no. he doesn't. we need him... how about this- every time he finishes a mission we treat him...the bigger the mission.. the bigger the treat. OUR treat.. don't try to get outta this one." Hijikata glared at him.

"Fine.. but the missions.. you'll have to go with him.. i can't risk him eating any more of my commanders.. he's already given Yamazaki brain damage.. he's still in the hospital." Kondo shuddered at the visual of the curled up spy shaking and holding onto the commander. His last words before unconsciousness were "so much...eat...eat...sleep..eat..no!!! NOOO!! Yamazaki no money left!!!! NOOOOOO!! faints".

"...what makes ya think he won't devour-"

"i dont really care about you.."

"...WHAT?! IS THAT EVEN RIGHT?!?!"

"just go, dammit! oh and im sure he said that he lived with you... during the interview...go check your closet or something."

"... closet...?!"

damnn im so hungry.. don't wanna get up... ughhh.. The black haired shinsengumi turned in his sleep. This place.. was too cramped. Damn that hijikata... why the heck does he have such a small and cramped closet?!? Sigh... Suddenly, the door to the closet was flung open, and a tired-looking hijikata looked in.. and gaped. Gaped. And gaped some more.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! WHEN-WHAT-WHERE-HOW?!?! WITHOUT ME KNOWING?!"

"hmm? oh you mean you didn't know i was living in here? i left you a slip on your door..." Hijikata twitched. the door?!? It was probably blown away or something. He scratched his head with a sigh. "well.. if you're here.. i might as well tell you.."

mission in exchange for food. sounded good. not so great in reality. Okay.. so the mission this time was to track down a blacklisted gambler whos cheated for millions already.. he's probably got some kind of cheap backup- being the cheap sorta person that he is... sideburns, orange hair.. can't miss him. Alright. "you ready, hijikata?"

" hmph.. that's "commander" to you."

They were currently on a sky ship casino.. one that just recently opened. It was a definite that the orange-head would be here tonight. In fact, there he is entering right now- with...yup. just as it was recorded. A cheap looking samurai, with a four-eyed freak, and some ailen dog with a girl on top. Kage flicked a look to hijikata, who was-what?! He was approaching the victim?!?! No.. he was approaching the curly-haired cheap-looking samurai. They were.. arguing?! Kage sighed again and walked towards the group- and smacked his sempai on the head, using his alien speed to add power to the punch. Hijikata shouted in pain, bended over as a comical bump began to form on the top of his head. "gahh..!!! owww.. damn what are you doing..?! "

"..you just blew our cover, captain. So let's just hurry this up."

Gin's eyes widened and he raised an eyebrow at the black cloaked figure in front of him. he was probably just a few years younger than himself and hijikata.. yet he was so much.. smaller. Not in the frail kind of way.. but his shoulders were narrow.. like a girl's. But the heavy-looking cloak covered everything- making him look more masculine. Gin scratched his head, looking from the bent over figure to the cloaked figure; finally understanding the predicament that they were in. "Shinpachi. Get our customer away for the moment. we got business, huh, rival?"

At this the commander regained his composure. "This is it, then. Im sorry, but you're holding a criminal, Gin. Kage; get ready." The smaller shinsengumi rolled his eyes at that comment. Get ready?! He was always ready to roll. His eyes flicked to the silver haired samurai; and was a little taken back by the confusion found in his eyes. He didn't know...? Kage shrugged off that thought. he wanted to fight the Gin-samurai dude- and exercise a bit before the buffet that was awaiting him at the end of all this.. but it looked like hijikata had got his eyes set on him. The girl will do, then. After all, he was good with inugami.

"let's go!" both Gin and hijikata withdrew their swords; well.. one of them anyways-the other one held a stupid looking wooden sword. Shinpachi stayed behind a table, a few paces away, mingling with the crowd that had gathered to watch the fight. He looked back to the customer-and found nothing beside him. He had only been distracted for a couple of minutes- looks like what they said was true; he was a criminal, huh. What a pain. Now they won't be paid again. He sighed, and tiptoed away from the crowd, looking around for the annoying idiot who didn't know what was good for him.

Kage hated onlookers. It distracted him.."we're Shinsengumi. Run now, or you might be killed. We're sinking this damn ship to the depths of the sea..it's SHOWTIME!" He said into a microphone that appeared out of nowhere, shooting at the ceiling a few times. Sorry..i've actually got nothing against you, casino owner. Great idea, by the way, a floating casino. I'll be sure to come visit some time.

Showtime.
