[12/25/2015] Grammar improve & story revamp

The first time I wrote this fanfict in Indonesian, I was influenced an AMV featuring Gin and Kagura. If you're curious, go to YouTube and search for "銀神で勘違い劇場版予告".

At that time, what on my mind was "they were cute that I barely able to imagine them as father and daughter". If you see some GinKagu fanarts, how Gin looking at Kagura is somewhat different from his usual gaze.

This story is focused to the relationship between Gin and Kagura. But I'm 100% OkiKagu shipper haha.

I decided to translate this story first besides it was short also because I love Gin and Kagura's bond.

A Girl Who Once Treated Like A Daughter

That afternoon, Gintoki as usual reading his favorite magazine, Shonen JUMP. But actually, he is somewhat different today. He doesn't really focused on the JUMP's latest issue. His mind was diverted to something else.

Like I've told you, Sakata Gintoki. Except JUMP, sweets, and of course Ketsuno Ana, there's nothing else that would interested you, he thought that inside his mind, convincing himself as he nod himself, three times.

The reason why would he convincing himself like that, or even diverted his mind from his favorite magazine is because there's a girl haunting his mind.

*PAAAATS*

The sound of Yorozuya's front door being opened can be heard. A fast step of foot on the mat bounced its sound on Yorozuya's wood-made floor.

"Okaeriiii Gin-chan," and that's how, the shrill voice owner, in very energetic way calls the silver haired man.

"Maybe you mean tadaima," Gintoki correcting the girl with a bun on her side wrapped some of her long-medium hair, while the rest are left hanging.

Kagura smiles at him as she said, "che, you complain over small things. Don't you realize where did you get those wrinkles from?"

"Shup up, kid," he replied as he turned his face away from her.

A seconds later, he returned his face to Kagura. Like a police suspecting a criminal, he stares at Kagura from head to toe, from toe to head.

"Where have you been?"

"I bought sukonbu, though. Why?" she replied as she opened her 3rd sukonbu box.

Gintoki squinting, "you are a girl, a creature that needs to be protected. If something bad happens to you because you're out there for a long time, it will be a pain in the ass for me, moron."

Kagura stuck out her tongue as she flee in annoy, "I'm not 14 years old anymore! I can protect myself!"

Yes, yes. Your monster strength was already able to 'protect' you when you were 14.

Kagura turned her body towards Gintoki and pointed a finger at him.

"I convinced myself that it was only my feeling but I knew it! Gin-chan, you're being weird lately! Too overprotective! Even Papi wasn't as annoying as you!"

She turned her body back and went to the hallway. Before she closes the door that connected the hallway and living room, Gintoki asked her,

"Oi, where are you going?"

"Wherever I want to go, give my paycheck before you ordering around! Bweeeh!" Kagura then ran to nowhere after she gave Gintoki a finger that a kid shouldn't do.

"Che. I'm really worried, you know."

Gintoki leaned his head on his greatness chair and turned on the TV.

And let it on without watching it. Gintoki intend to reread his JUMP because he hasn't able to read it with vengeance (?). But he decided to put it back. He looked at a photo where there's himself, Shinpachi, and Kagura were on the photo, energetically posing together.

The man sighed.

Actually lately, the girl who has been haunting Gintoki's mind lately is Kagura.

No, nothing changed between he and the girl. She grew just like normal teenage girls. Their routine always the same, their bond has been always the same.

Everything went like time never rotates.

Or that's what he thought.

One day, he met an old acquaintance, when they, without Shinpachi, were walking together. They're simply going together to a convenience store as two person who in need to fulfill their needs.

As Gintoki never realizes that Kagura has grown into a fine woman, he always sees her as a treasured daughter. But it can be different with people who only seen them together that time.

"Your girlfriend? She's so cute," the old acquaintance asked.

Gintoki just bitterly smiled and replied with his mocking tone, "she's not my girlfriend. There's no way that kind of kid can be my girlfriend," as he pointing his right thumb to the girl he meant.

"Is that so? You look cute together in my eyes that I thought you have found the one."

He always with Kagura, and he thinks that he knows what is the most right about himself and people around him. For Gintoki, Kagura's existence is like a younger sister, or maybe a daughter.

Kagura is a kind of person he always wants to be with, a person he'd never betray. A person he wants to protect at all cost.

But if he thinks that way, then what's the difference of Kagura with the person he's romantically in love with?

"Is that so? You look cute together in my eyes that I thought you have found the one."

Maybe we do look like that?

"No, no, no. Get a hold of yourself, Gintoki. It must be because Kagura looks like Ketsuno Ana. Yes yes," he convince himself as he put his head between his hands. No, Kagura looks nothing like Ketsuno Ana.

"I need to confirm this feeling, yes. It must be because I need some sugar, yes."

I want to see that girl.

And then suddenly, like he was moved by his conscience, his body moves by its own. He came out of the Yorozuya. He keep walking until he found that person.

Until he arrived at the Shimura Dojo, and found that there's two girls and a boy were chatting at the yard.

Otae who noticed Gintoki's arrival then invited him to join the group.

The four were talking as usual. Gintoki seems forgetting things that resonated his mind. But actually no. Kagura's laugh stealthy seized his gaze.

Along with the wind that gently blowing, her long hair blown as it's waving at him. Without him realized, Kagura noticed that Gintoki has been watching her. Her shiny blue eyes replied Gintoki's gaze.

She asked in confuse, "Gin-chan...?"

"Ah! W-What?"

"You were spacing out... I know, your body must be lack of sugar!" she said in her Chinese accent as she clapped her hands.

Gintoki paused for a second.

"Ah... Ah! Yes! You're right! I haven't eating any strawberry parfait today! I'm so hungryyyyyyy."

It was a lie.

I already ate 3 parfaits today.

It was delicious.

"Ara, what a coincidence! I have thought of experimenting a new topping for parfait and having you taste them first, Gin-san. Maybe I should go to the convenience store," Otae clapped her hands as she stood up and walked towards her bedroom to take her wallet. Shinpachi, who knows something bad will happen, came after her to make sure she doesn't buy something very unrelated to be added to the parfait.

Now there's only him and Kagura.

Gintoki cursing Shinpachi in his mind for his departure.

Is this the climax? I usually being alone with her at home. But only this time I feel really awkward. Gyaaaa Ketsuno help me please...!

"Hey, Gin-chan."

Kagura's soft voice awaking Gintoki from his in-heart-depression (?).

"You're weird lately. Really weird. It's uncomfortable for me." said the girl, staring meaningfully at Gintoki.

"Who's weird! I usually like this! Haha! Haha."

Kagura still looked at him with her same expression.

"You know... you're weird! My Gin-chan's never been this weird!"

Gintoki stopped his (obviously) forced laugh.

"Are you worried about me? Because you realized I eventually will grow up?"

"N-No, why are you thinking so high, you kid! Haha! It must be your imagination! W-Why would I worry about you just because you gr-"

Another gaze from Kagura completely stopped him. He diverted his eyes from her.

"Gin-chan. Look my eyes like a true man."

He surprisingly averted his eyes back, looking back at the girl.

Kagura, with her unusual serious face, taking a closer look at Gintoki. After they're about 10cm close, she opened her mouth,

"Gin-chan, you don't have to be worry! I will always be your old Kagura, your really unfit heroine of the story! The Yato you can keep in your home! That's why you should stay as my usual Gin-chan!"

Ah.

Kagura was really worry about him. About him worrying herself. Kagura didn't like the awkward moment they had lately. She wanted the old man just realized that.

"Hahah..." Gintoki laughed as he covered his face with his big hand.

"Gin-chan...?"

"... You've grown into a beautiful woman."

And so, along with Gintoki's word that makes Kagura surprised, another wind blown Kagura's hair.

Within a split second, Kagura's face reddened.

Then she smiled.

"T-This is the first time, Gin-chan said I'm beautiful. Actually this is the first time ever you praised my physical."

After seeing her smile, and her words, Gintoki laughed more widely. This time he was laughing in relieve. Kagura was left in confuse, but she laughs anyway.

I don't need to confirm the feeling I have for her. Even if I fall in love with her, I want to be her Gin-chan. I don't want her to hate me. I want her to be always with me. Those are the only things I need to know right now.

Without take his hand off his face, Gintoki raised another of his hand, held out his smallest finger, the little finger, towards Kagura.

"Promise me. To fall in love with right person. Or else Gin-chan won't approve."

Without needing to wait for a long time, a little finger wrapped around Gintoki's little finger.

"I already fall in love with the right person."

"With who?"

"His name is..."

And along the third wind blow, she whispered a name, with the most beautiful smile he ever seen.

Gintoki sighed in relief,

"I'm relieved."

The End

Thank you for reading! Aaaah personally, I love this story so much! Actually, I didn't intend this story to be a romance between Gin and Kagura, but more like a bond between a male and a female. Of course, since I made an open ending, you are free to imagine who is the man that Kagura choose. If you like it, please give it a review and probably giving me grammar lessons, hahaha.
