Chapter 1: "Sunday is good for everyone to have fun"


It was a nice day with a brilliant weather thanks to the onmyouji weather girl Ketsuno Ana. Everyone in Kabuki town was very happy with their daily morning activities. The Yorozuya, however, were not as hyped as the others.

"Gin-san! How long are you going to use the toilet!? My stomach is already making weird sounds!" the glasses-boy, Shinpachi, said while banging the bathroom's door at Yorozuya office.

"Congratulations, 'Pachi. You are going to be a father," the toilet user, Gintoki, replied before an 'Ouh, that's a big one' echoed inside the room.

"FATHER!? A Male can't give birth for God's sake! Gin-saan, come out quickly! I can't hold it much longer!"

The teenager felt more relieved as he heard a flush sound from the restroom. Not too long after that, the door was opened, allowing a silver haired man with a pair of gloomy eyes to walk out. Shinpachi rushed in as soon as the-man-in-his-30s passed him at the nose of the bathroom's door.

"Man, he must have eaten a raw chili with wasabi last night," the leader of Yorozuya responded to screaming sound Shinpachi makes that resonating inside the restroom.

"No, Gin-chan. Shinpachi and I were having dinner at Big-Sis' place and he was forced to eat Big-Sis' boiled eggs," a little girl suddenly showed up in pajamas, yawning, scratching her back.

"Ah now that you mention it, I didn't have dinner with you guys because I hung out with that shady dude with sunglasses," he scratched the back of his head. Gintoki then continued, "By the way, Shinpachi. You are quite good at resisting your sister's food. If it were me, I would not be able to sleep at night."

Shinpachi opened the door after pulled back his pants, "Of course. I have eaten that chemical weapon for 15 years…"

"What weapon, Shin-chan?"

"Ane-ue's foo…. EEEH? Ane-ueeee?"
"Hi… hi hupid mous! (Thi… This stupid mouth!)" He covered his mouth when he realized that his very-own sister, Otae, was sitting on the couch with Kagura. Otae heard clearly what her little brother has just said hence she sent him flying to the kotatsu room. She then sat back with the orange-haired girl.

"Yesterday, I told Shin-chan and Kagura-chan that I wanted to go with them to the Amusement Park today since it's Sunday," Otae said as she emitted his usual smile.

"Oh, then go ahead. I have something to do at home like spending my day in front of the TV, changing its channel and increasing the volume with my remote cont—"

"Gin-san. You will join us, will you?"

"Nah, like I said, I want to watch TV and re-reading my JUMP all day today. Maybe re-watching our anime movie would be refreshing too," he said while putting his little finger in his nose hole.

"Come on, Gin-chan. You don't have to be worried about money. They said they are having 70% off today if we are going with a silver-haired man," Kagura explained much to Shinpachi's tsukkomi.

"THERE'S NO WAY THEY WOULD GIVE SUCH CONDITION!"

"And they even will give us FREE T-Shirts and carbury milk chocolate if the man's hair is naturally per—" Otae added, but cut out by Gin.

"Fine, fine. I will go with you guys. Geez. It sure does troublesome to have such hair."

"OK then. Get yourself prepared. Shinpachi, Kagura," Gintoki got up from the couch and then vanished behind his room's door.

"Ou!"


After they were ready, they walked outside the Yorozuya office and began their long journey to the amusement park with Otae on the lead… However, they ended up standing in front of a huge gate instead.

"Wait, wait. Why are we here again?"

"Oh right. Seems like I haven't told you yet, have I, Gin-san? Kyuu-chan will join us too!"

"That so? Well, let's get this quick then. Oiii. Kyuubei. It's Gintoki and frieeends. Let's play outside~" Gintoki shouted with his usual deadpan face as he knocked the big gate of Yagyuu clan's estate followed by a Yato clan girl's yell, "Kyuu-chaaaan! We are hereee! Let's puhlaaay!"

"What's with you all of a sudden!? Are you two fifth graders? We are not going to play anything! We are going to go to an amusement park! And stop shouting, Kagura-chan! It's like hearing an ambulance's siren from close range!" Shinpachi covered his ears.

Soon enough, the gate was opened and they were welcomed by Kyuubei's steward, Toujo Ayumu.

"Ah. Welcome, Young Master's precious friends. Please come in!"

"Toujo-san, where's Kyuu-chan?" Shinpachi asked.

"Young Master is still in the middle of training. I'll lead you to our dojo first to meet Young Master."

"She's training even on Sunday? Does she not know that it is the world's standard to have a day off on Sundays? Even Chuck Norris has a tea party with Sylvester Stallone and Shah Rukh Khan every Sunday reading JUMP," Gintoki said expressionless as usual.

"Wait Gin-san? I understand that Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stallone are buddies since they played in The Expendables 2, but why did you include Shah Rukh Khan?" Shinpachi asked.

"Hollywood will get beaten by Bollywood films eventually. Shah Rukh Khan and Stallone will cuddle each other in no time."

"—Young Master will be the next head of Yagyuu clan. Of course she will have to train hard," Ayumu cut in.

"Uu… How troublesome… If I were Kyuu-chan, I'd prefer to find myself a great rich strong husband instead~"

"You are just a little girl! Don' talk like a woman in her 20s!" Shinpachi pointed his forefinger at the girl with china dress.


They are now standing in front of Yagyuu clan's dojo. Ayumu lead the group into the building. They now could see many Yagyuu warriors do some training. And the most outstanding person there, the young heir of Yagyuu clan, Kyuubei, appeared before them with her white training clothes.

"Tae-chan, Kagura-chan, Shinpachi-kun, and Gintoki. Welcome. I'm deeply sorry to keep you waiting," she humbly bowed.

"No, no. You don't have to apologize, Kyuubei-san. We have just arrive…"

Shinpachi stopped talking as he noticed that Kyuubei was staring cold at a pair of dead-fish's eyes which are Gintoki's.

"Em, Kyuubei-san?"

"Gintoki. Now that we are here in my dojo, why don't we spar a little? It will be refreshing, don't you think?"

"Nah. Why would I want to fight a little girl like you and get my body stink of sweat right before I go to an amusement park?"

"I see. It seems like you are not interested in our Yagyuu special strawberry parfait…"

Upon hearing the parfait part, Gintoki approached the one-eyed girl and said, "Well, let's go, shall we? I haven't eaten parfaits for ages. You better get it ready now, Toujo Aya. 'Coz my stomach will devour 'em all!"

"I'm Ayumu! Don't mistake my name with that cute girl in Ichigo 100%!" he then continued, "Ahem. Alright, I'll tell our chef to make one."

"No. Make it two."

"Really? You don't know how our strawberry parfait is, right?"

"No. But you don't know how big my appetite is when it comes to sweet beverages, do you?"

"Here, take this shinai. Hey. Make his strawberry parfait," Kyuubei said as she threw a bamboo sword to Gintoki who catched it easily. Ayumu bowed then ask other trainees to leave with him.

"OK. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hmph. Please go all-out just like our first fight Gintoki. Consider this as my request to Yorozuya," she moved into her stance, grinning.

"Fine, if you say so. But let me tell you something. I never disappoint my clients!"

"Go Kyuu-chan! He is nothing but a stinky old unpopular dude!"

"Do your best Kyuu-chan!"

"I know you can do it Kyuubei-san!"

"OI Wait! As a member of Yorozuya, you bunch are supposed to cheer me on instead! And what's with that 'unpopular' word, Kagura? I can easily get hot chicks in a blink of an eye!" Gintoki said while pointing his shinai at the group.

"Boo. I wonder about that, Gin-chan. Boo."

"Prepare yourself, Gintoki."

"Tch. That brat… Ou. Sorry to keep you waiting, Kyuubei. Come at me whenever you want!" the boss of Yorozuya put his concentration back to his opponent

"Hyaaaaa!" She cried out as she charged at Gintoki who had his stance with both of his hands on the hilt of the bamboo sword.

Gintoki successfully parried Kyuubei's attack and tried to counter her but she quickly dodged backwards. The girl with eye-patch's ponytail were waving once again as she made another charge at the silver-haired man. They then were exchanging strikes to each other's shinai countless times. Kyuubei's strikes were incredibly fast and Gintoki could only wait and parry. The atmosphere was surprisingly tight between the two fighters. Even the cheerleader group was shut silent.

"Wow. Was Kyuubei-san always this strong? She is very quick on her movement that even Gin-san can only stand to defend himself!" Shinpachi wondered.

"Unlike our style, Yagyuu clan's swordsmanship excel at speed, Shin-chan. Kyuu-chan has been training on it since she was a little. So it's only normal that she could move that fast."

"Wow. I guess she only gave in back then… No, if Gin-san wasn't with me at that time we fought her, I won't be able to match her!"

"Nah, nah. You shouldn't say that, Shinpachi—"

"Kagura-chan…"

"They said people often get weakened when they are with someone they love the most!"

"Are you saying because Ane-ue was there Kyuubei-san lowered her skill?"

"Yup. So you only won by a fluke and with Gin-chan's help, Shinpachi."

"Th—This brat! You could have said 'yes, you are right' from the start instead!"

While they debated with each other, Kyuubei was thinking in her mind as she hit Gintoki's shinai again and again.

This man… Even I swing my sword quickly and even almost hit his body, his attitude does not change a little bit. He's still very calm and collected. It's like I'm facing someone who has experienced in battle!

Who is this man, actually?

That time after the group date he also did something reckless when he rescued me with such ease as if he didn't care if he lost his head. Does he can easily trust someone? Or does he…

**THWOK!**

Huh!? W-what!?

Without her knowing it, Gintoki successfully sent her hand with the bamboo sword away, leaving an opening for him to charge.

"This is the eeeen—Huh ?"

Wh-what is this? Why do suddenly my feet slipped!? Ah! Is this hers and other trainee's sweat!?

"UAAH!"

"GYAAA!"

**BUMP!**

"Kyuubei-san! Gin-san! Are you oka—"

"!"

The audiences approached the two who had just collided to the floor, only to find Gintoki's head on Kyuubei's chest. Shinpachi and the others could only jaw-dropped upon seeing the indecent scene. After a while, they finally regain their consciousness.

Uugh, where am I? Am I dead? No. This is still the first chapter. I won't die right after the story has just started! Or is this the old-man LakeToya again? But if so, why is it half dark and half bright? I can't open my left eye and why am I seeing my body got beaten up by Otae and Kagura? And even that Shinpachi join the fray!?

"Oi! Stop punching and kicking my body!" Gin said as he rushed into the crowd.

They were dumbfounded, "'My'?"

A-reeee? Why the hell does my voice suddenly turn into girlish like this?

It… It can't be… Don't tell me!

"WE'VE JUST SWAPPED BODY!" Gintoki, in Kyuubei's body, screamed to heaven.
