YAY! Guys it's finally Gintsu week, I've been waiting for so long for this time to come. Okay so I'm gonna be writing short stories based on the prompts. I hope you enjoy them….

Prompt one: hurt/comfort

"You know, in the past, women used to cut their hair in the memory of the person they liked," Hinowa stopped for a while,"could it be that...?"


*during the final battle*

"Why did you cut your hair?" he asked with a dead-pan expression as he felt her back against his.

"Why do you care?" she replied while keeping a keen eye on her enemies.

"Nothing, it's just that I liked it when it was long."

Her heart fluttered at his comment.

"It still looks better than yours."

She retorted back at him with a flash of wittiness.

"Well, It doesn't matter now because we're gonna bust up this future and return to the right one." He smirked to himself.

"Yeah..."

She fell into a dreamy silence.


FLASH BACK

It was a scorching summer afternoon when Tsukuyo presented Hinowa with her strange request...

"Tsukuyo, are you sure you want to do this?" Hinowa asked with a worried expression as he picked up a pair of scissors.

"Yeah, It's been getting in the way of my work." She replied straightly as she grabbed a few strands.

Hinowa looked hesitantly at her hair.

"You know, In the past women used to cut their hair in the memory of the person they liked." Hinowa stopped for a while,"could it be that?..." Hinowa had a doubtful look in her eyes this time but somehow there was still a trace of sadness between them.

"I don't know what you're referring to."

Now their was just a simple resignation and no further statements were made by Hinowa.

It had been about a year now, since Gintoki left.

A year since she saw that stupid look.

A year since she had a hearty laugh.

A year since she had cried.

A year since she had relied on someone.

A year since she lost someone important to her.

A year since she had loved someone.


But now all of that will change, she thought with a faint, transient, wistful smile that lightened her face

Okay this was just a dry run, It's gonna get better.

So tell me what you thought about it.
