Title: Rain

Author: Rasei

Summary: Drabble. Gintoki receives another letter about a death

Disclaimer: I do not own Gintama.


Gintoki was holding the letter in one hand, as he gazed at the river. He noticed the rain steady dropping onto him. Why is it that every letter brought bad news? Why is it that every letter opens the wound on his heart even more?

Gintoki shut his eyes, trying to pretend that it was rain sliding down his face instead of tears. Kotarou had been a good friend, since that first day at school. Now he is dead, from a simple mistake making a bomb.

Finally, after wiping the tears off, he heads home with his mask in place.
