This is a story of Sakata Gintoki meeting Kurosaki Ichigo.

*normal pov*

After leaving the bar, Gintoki was walking down the street, plastered as usual. With the usual sound of his hiccups.

It was a quiet night compared to usual, which would usually set off alarms for a certain Samurai.

But you know how alcohol is. Probably the reason why Gintoki drinks so much, to remove such paranoia and pain.

he got closer to the next back alley, when he got closer he started hearing a slight moaning sound, which made him curious as to what it was.

he started walking down the back lane and noticed some orange, he got closer to see what it exactly was.

it was a man, dressed in all black, he had a huge sword with him, something unlike what he's ever seen, and he had bright orange hair.

*Gintoki pov*

'oh? ... shit he's covered in blood. not.. my problem. Yeah, that's right. not my problem.'

I slowly try to walk away without making noise, but because of the damn alcohol i tripped over a heap of trash.

the head of the person moved a bit, and saw me. 'Shit. Well damn.'

The person looks at me for awhile then says "Oi, ossan. I was wondering, I know this is a lot of trouble, but could you help me out? I feel like i'm on the brink of death. I can't die yet. So please?"

I felt a pang of guilt, guess I'm helping him out. Damn heart. Why you gotta care for strangers too?

I slowly walked to the man and i picked him up. I was going to bring him to the hospital but he started pointing out directions.

*Ichigo pov*

When I turned to the sound of things being knocked over, there was an older man. Not too old though. He was tall and had Silver hair. Wow, that's new, never seen that type of hair color. He probably understands unwanted attention.

After I asked him to help me, he was pretty nice about it. Gah, I gotta get back to my body. It should have fell around he as well. I'll have to try sensing it. Good thing I put a piece of Reishi on it just in case.

After we got near it, he started to fidget noticing how he's holding me but with another body of the same person lying on the grand, in a dead like state.

'oh shit, is he scared?' he thought. than asked "are you scared? There's nothing to be scared of." he looked at me with widened eyes and than started to laugh nervously

"me? Scared? ha... aha.. ha.. ha never! I couldn't be scared of g-g-ghosts, that's not me. Who would be scared of ghosts?! ha.. ha .. ha"

I looked at him deadpanned.. he was scared. "No need to be scared. I'm still alive and human, my spirit just left my body" I said.

The silver haired man looked at me "Oh, your spirit just left your body. I see. Well that's okay. That's normal. ... OF COURSE THAT'S NOT FUCKING NORMAL, WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TREAT THAT NORMAL? WHO'S SPIRIT LEAVES THERE BODY, LET ALONE HAS A GIANT SWORD ON THERE BACK, AND IN BLACK OUTFIT. ITS ALMOST AS IF YOU'RE A DAMN SHINIGAMI, WITH THE SCYTHE AND EVERYTHING!" he said in return.

I was surprised and moved back a bit. 'Shinigami? He can tell? how can he even tell how they look? nobody can really see them. unless he's like me!'

"Well. If it makes it better. I am a shinigami? Well, Substitute Shinigami, since.. I'm still alive."

*Gintoki pov*

'EHHHHHH? No no no no no no no! There's no way, there' s no such thing, I was just joking'

"Oi, Nissan, I was just joking, don't go trying to mess with me. There is no such thing! As if they actually exist, or else i'd be long dead by now, trust me."

Orange haired kid looked at me curiously "why would you be dead? We don't kill people. All we do is help souls pass on to Soul Society, and Cut down the impure souls so they purify and also go to Soul Society. Though people that are bad before death just go to hell."

Is there really such things as shinigami? really? with the two bodies right here.. it's hard to ignore the facts.

"so, you're a shinigami, huh? well, never thought I'd see the day. So what do you do now? How do you get back into your body?"

*Ichigo pov*

'looks like he's accepted it.. somewhat.' "basically i just push myself to my body and it just kind of enters it, I don't know how it really works though" and so I pushed against my body and entered it.

"Now i'm just myself, a normal human, like yourself." I feel dizzy and fall to the ground.

The silver haired man looked at me. "What's your name, kid?"

I looked at him. "don't you know it's rude not to introduce yourself before asking someones name?"

He looked back and laughed "Oh right, I guess that's true. The names Sakata, Sakata Gintoki. But you can call me Gin." he said.

"Gintoki, huh? Nice name. My names Kurosaki, Kurosaki Ichigo. Nice to meet you, Gin" I said in return

*Gintoki pov*

"You as well, Ichigo. Anyways, in your state it's good not to move, I'll bring you to my place until you're feeling better." I said while looking at him, he's barely able to stand at the moment.

I lift him up, and start walking. It's not much further from where they are anyways.

*normal pov*

It was the next day, Gintoki didn't wake anyone when he got home because there was no point in worrying them. He put the kid in his bed while he slept on the couch.

After he woke up he went to check on him to see how he was doing.

*Ichigo pov*

Everything was black, it was dark. Where am I? Shit Urahara, where the hell did you send me this time?!

Everything got bright. A room, something i'm not used to. I've never been here before. I start to panic trying to remember what happened when I start to hear foot steps. I get into a defensive stand.

The door opens and in walks a man with Silver hair. He looks at me, then his eyes soften, almost like he understands why he's reacting the way he is. Which causes me to lose stance and fall.

*Gintoki pov*

As i open the door, I see Ichigo in a defensive stance. 'Ah. I know that feeling, I wonder what the kids been through...Ah, why am I worrying?'

"Oi, no need to be so nervous, you're the one who asked for help, remember? Gin-san was just being nice. No need to go and chop my head off, Shinigami."

*Ichigo pov*

Ah, he knows? I told him? Shit. I sit to get more comfortable.

"Here's some water and food, be happy with what you got, You're lucky you're getting any with the little money I have." Said Gintoki

After he had said that though, there was a loud noise. I noticed Gintoki paled a little.

"GIN-CHAAANNNN, WHERE'S MY DAMN SOKUNBU? YOU BETTER NOT OF EATIN IT, YOU SCUM BAG"

Gintoki turned and went into a defensive stand, only to be knocked into the wall instantly.

after the smoke cleared I paled when I saw a little girl... a little girl who can kick like that. Shit.

"Damn it Gin-chan! Those were m sokunbu! You bastard!"

Gintoki got up "blah blah blah, shut up, will you? I didn't eat your damn sokunbu! You ate it all, last night! remember? You and your damn black hole of a stomach!"

"ya right Gin-chan! I know I wouldn't do that! I'm not that stupid. Unlike you, damn permhead." she said

"Damn it, Kagura. I wouldn't eat your sokunbu, I know how you get over it. I don't feel like dying, so why would I eat your fucking sokunbu?"

I kept following them as they were talking. Looking back and forth. 'hm. reminds me of home a bit.'

After arguing for awhile, the orange haired girl looked at him. "Gin-chan, who's that?"

I felt nervous.

"oh him? Just your regular Shinigami." Gintoki said

The orange haired girl looked unamused "Shinigami? what's that? Some kind of Amanto? Why would you help an Amanto... well besides me, but that's because i'm cute. But why?"

That got me a bit curious.

"I'm not an amanto. But what's an 'Amanto'?"

they both look at him and say in unison "Aliens"

Are you fucking kidding me? Aliens? Really? Now that's bullshit.

I start laughing "Ya right, as if they're real."

they both look at him, than the orange haired girl looked at Gintoki "Did you pick another idiot? We don't need anymore of those. You and Shinpachi are enough."

Gintoki smacks her head "Idiot, you're the biggest idiot of us all" then looks at me

"You've never heard nor seen an Amanto? Seriously, which ass crack did you crawl out of? Madao? Joui? Otaku? Shinsengumi? They've been here for years, took control of earth and everything. Damn bastards" Gintoki said it nonchalantly. But I could see the pain in his eyes. There was more to it.

"what happened? if you don't mind me asking. The look in your eyes. You may act fine, but you have pain in your eyes."

Gintoki looked at me, he seemed surprised. But he went to his normal facade. Which was odd. then he laughed, but it was strained. "ah, nothing, no worries. Life is great."

That sounded... so painful.

"Doesn't sound like 'nothing' to me. but whatever, I won't push you" Gintoki looked at him, and smiled in relief.
