"Tsukuyo-nee! Hurry up!" Seita called out to her as he ran towards the water with a big smile on his face. The sand felt warm under his feet and the air was more than refreshing. The little boy adjusted his floatie around his waist and looked excitedly at the sea.
"Right, right, I'm coming." The blonde woman caught up with him and smiled.
Seita pointed towards the water excitedly, "I wanna swim!"
Tsukuyo blew out some smoke and looked at Seita, "Alright. But be sure not to go too far, okay?" Tsukuyo bent down to his level and made sure he was all set.
"Don't worry. I'm a pro now!" He replied with a toothy grin and made his way towards the sea.
Tsukuyo let out a breath before placing the pipe back into her mouth. She decided to place their stuff closer to a place where she could look over him.
Looking around the beach, she found an empty spot not too far off and decided that it would be perfect. She walked over and was about set their beach mat down when she noticed a pair of binoculars staring at her from a shack underneath a cliff.
From where she was standing, Tsukuyo could make out a silver perm and lifeguard jacket. Her brows twitched in irritation.
The person turned away with swift movements when they found her looking back at them.
A vein popped out of her forehead as she decided to make her way over to the shack and teach whoever it was ogling at her, a lesson. With a few quick stride, she found herself standing infront the guy and crushed his binoculars with her hands.
The person nervously lowered the instrument to look at her and sweat beads started to form on his head, "W-what did you do that for?" He stuttered.
"Don't play dumb." Tsukuyo just looked at him sternly as she took her smoking pipe out if her mouth.
The guy looked out down at the binoculars in his hand, impressed and terrified of the brute display of strength he had just witnessed. He blinked a few times trying to think up of an excuse to cover up the fact the he was peeking at her because he was sure that if he didn't provide her with a valid reason for his actions, he'd also end up like the binoculars.
"W-well the thing is, I saw that you were alone and uh… I thought that I should help you with setting up you stuff. In fact, I was just about to come up to you." He said in a matter-of-fact tone and gave his head a little nod, hoping that she would eat his lame excuse up and let him live another day.
"Is that so? You must be a very diligent employee then," She said, pointing towards his jacket, "I better inform your boss about your 'good work'." she added an emphasis on the last two words.
"N-no need for that. Boss took a day-off so you won't find him today, haha." He laughed nervously while scratching the back of his head, "Ah! I just remembered my shift is over so I better get going now." The guy got up from his seat to get away but he felt a strong grip on his shoulder.
"Oi, I better not see you lurking around again because next time I might not be off-duty." Tsukuyo placed her smoking pipe back inside her mouth and threw him a death stare.
The guy gulped as he turned around, "W-what...?"
"I'm the boss around here and I don't remember ever hiring a pervert like you." She tightened her grip on his shoulder and yanked him back down in his seat, "I hope you have your next excuse ready." She said as she cracked her knuckles.
"Wait, wait, wait! I'll be honest!" the guy placed his hands infront of him as defence, "The truth is... I'm a shadow hunter. My name's gintoki. I was sent here from the underworl- ah ah ahhhh" he felt her twist his arm and winced in pain, "Okay, okay! I'll admit it! I was checking you out! Is that what you wanna hear?" He freed his arm from her hold and held it in pain.
After making sure it was alright, he looked up to find her glaring at him and started sweating again.
"That came out wrong, I- uh!"
"You pervert!"
The last thing that Gintoki remembered after that was being German suplexed into the sand.
Boy, did he regret even coming to the beach that day!
