It took me a while, but I did it. Please, let me know if you like it, love it, or down right hate it. (but, don't go overboard and abuse it with hate comments.) Anywho, this is a crossover between Hetalia and Gintama. My very first crossover, really. I am also open to opinions and of course, in all honesty, I will take them. Of course, the two chapters are a work-in-progress so it'll take a while for it to be complete. Please bear with me!

Silver hair, wavy locks that remained in place; he was a lazy, good-for-nothing wanker that only cared for sugar. But, he... he changed my life and I found that there was more to him than I expected. It feels like only yesterday that we met.

Oh? I didn't tell you? Well, it's a long story. It was only two years ago that I was stuck in a world, a time completely different from the one I'm from. It was a year filled with aliens, samurai, and abnormally huge dogs as large as a dining room table. If you don't believe me, just ask the man with the silver perm. Everyone here is quite mad, if I do say so myself. But, they helped me when I needed them. Even though, they make the problems worse at times; kind of like a certain nation I know...

~England's pov~

Two years earlier, I woke up in a smug little town. "Where am I?" I asked myself as sat up, looking around at the strange and unusual things around me. The pounding on my head just made it worse for me. Blasted hangover. I got up and started walking, trying to find where I was. I asked a strange-looking creature where I was. As it turned out, she just gave me a look and scoffed as she went about her business. Wherever I was, these creatures were quite rude. I asked almost anyone I passed, but they looked at me strangely. It was as if I spoke a different language or something; which I was. I soon realized they spoke in Japanese. It was a good thing I learned a few words with Japan. So, was this Japan in the future? or the past?

I asked an old man sitting out on the street and all he said to me was, "You're on my house." Well, that didn't help me. I moved on and asked a woman in a pink kimono. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She was very polite and gave me a smile. I was going to ask her where I was, when a man appeared and began wooing her. The woman had on the most terrifying face that even Russia himself would fear more than his own sister. She shouted nasty words at him and punched him in the face. She resumed smiling again towards my direction. "I'm sorry. What did you need help with?" I shook my head and told her I just remembered what I forgot and just left her to her business.

I spent hours on end, asking people and even weirder things like animals, robots, cat-eared people -or as Japan would say- neko? I also asked aliens as well. Of course, that didn't go so well so I ran as fast as I could away from them. I caught my breath after losing sight of them. I'm pretty sure that 'friend' of America's would be just fine here. "Just where the bloody hell am I?" I growled. I wandered around aimlessly again and bumped into a man in a duck costume. He said not a single word, but held up signs in which he communicated from. He told me that I was in the future where aliens and samurai were supposedly trying to live together under the order of the government. I listened-or should I say- read intently as I tried to comprehend every word he was showing me. I couldn't understand. Was this... the future of Japan? I also wondered if that "friend" of America's was here, too.

This was getting ridiculous, how was this Japan's future? I thought the apocalypse had begun. At first, I couldn't believe it. I thought he was kidding at first when a huge shadow loomed above us. I looked up and saw a ship. It floated past and I asked the man what it was. He held up another sign and said that they were cargo ships as well as many others. I was fascinated by their size. Before I could ask him anything more a man in a blue kimono with long, black hair jumped out and a huge missile aimed right at him. I managed to avoid getting hit. The man gave a triumphant laugh and smirked at his attacker. "You think that could stop me? Stupid Shinsengumi! You can't stop me! I will wipe out the government off the face of the earth!"
A few men in uniforms began chasing after him. One of them had a bazooka over his shoulder. "KATSURA!" he shouted. The rest of the men followed in tow. I stood there dumbfounded without a clue of what was happening. This city just gets weirder and weirder.

I soon found a park, I looked over at the bench and spotted a man in sunglasses smoking a cigarette. I haven't smoked in a long while. I desperately needed one. I woke up in a strange era; with Japanese terrorists and alien citizens to boot. Hopefully, this man could tell me where I was. This man was Taizo Hasegawa. He was once a man of worthiness. He used to work for the Bakufu. He had a good life. After a little misunderstanding, he lost his job. His wife left him as well. Now, the only thing left of him was a pair of sunglasses and the clothes on his back. He was given the nickname "dork". It was a pity that some people could actually say that to him. I'd tell him about myself, but he would call me crazy. After some chatter, it had soon gotten dark. "Would you look at the time, it's that late already?" he asked as he looked at the sun that was going down.
"Will you be alright, Taizo?" I asked him.
He laughed held up his hands. "You really don't have to call me that. Just Hasegawa is fine."

I nodded and stood up from the bench. "Well, it's nice meeting you."

"Uh.. you, too. And take care. Mr. uh..."

"Eng-Arthur. Arthur Kirkland."

He nodded and smiled. "Arthur-san. Goodbye and goodnight."

"Night."

I walked out the park and had completely forgotten to ask him what this place was. I also forgot that I didn't have shelter or a place to stay for the meantime. I wandered aimlessly through the outskirts of town and soon found myself outside of a snack bar. A woman and an old man walked out. The woman stopped by the doorway and watched him go. I noticed that she was looking at me. "Well, are you coming in or not?" I looked at her for a moment. I was lost, I didn't have a place to stay and to add up to my dilemma, I was stuck in the future where aliens and humans alike live about with themselves. I kindly took her offer and went inside. She gave me a drink as I sat down.

"So, what's the matter with you?" she said. "You seem down."
I sighed. Should I explain to her? She'd think I was crazy, but there was no one else who would be willing to listen. Nor believe me for that matter. Well, it was worth a shot. I explained to her everything that happened, the people I met here as well as where I came from. She listened intently. She didn't ask questions and occasionally nodded as if she understood. As I finished, she basically asked questions right then.
"So, you came here from another world and you're saying you have no clue of how you came to be here?"
"Y-Yes, that is correct."
"Hmm..." she pulled out a lighter and lit a cigarette. "This is Kabukichou, a small town in Edo. This place was once home to brave samurai. After the Joi War, the laws changed; making swords illegal for samurai if they weren't of the government. Just like those men you saw earlier. They are the ones responsible for taking care of these streets. Samurai no longer exist here. Except for one; he was retired. He was a part of that war, that man no longer carried a sword; but, a wooden one."

"I see."

"So, if you're from the past and you ended up here... the future, you call it..."

"Mm-hmm.." I said, wanting her to go on.

"Would that mean that you were a time traveler?" she asked.

"Well, no- not... exactly... I just woke up here... I may have used magic somehow..."

"Magic? Are you some kind of wizard?"

"Wha-Well, I suppose you can say that. I mean, I can conjure up a few things from time to time." I explained. "It's as simple as that."

"Huh." she blew smoke from her cigarette. "I see. Well, are you hungry?"

"Uh... I really don't wish to be a bother... I don't have the money for-"

"It's on me."

"Beg pardon?"

"I said, you don't need to pay me. I will let you stay here for one night only. Tomorrow, I'm going to take you to someone I know who can help you."

I blinked, not believing what I was hearing. "R-Really?"

She nodded and brought me some food. "Now eat up. And, after you do that... take a bath, too. You look a bit dirty."

I paused for a second.

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to have lost my wallet. It was here, before I got inside."

I noted that she had an assistant wearing a green kimono and had cat ears. She turned her head and glared. "You idiot!" she said and whacked her worker upside the head.

"You're not supposed to steal! I told you that, already, idiot!"

"O-Otose-san... But, I-I-I was only..."

"But, nothing!" she retorted and handed back my wallet.

"Th-Thank you."

"By the way, what was your name?" she asked me.

"Uhm. A-Arthur Kirkland. I assume your name is Otose?"

"Yes. You may call me that if you like. And, the thief here is Catherine."

"It's nice to meet you both."

"The pleasure is ours. Now, eat your food before it gets cold."

"Oh, right."

I spent my first night in the future at the home of a complete stranger whom I just met. I bathed, changed and went straight to sleep. Tomorrow wasn't going to be so pleasant.
