"Gin-san, they're at it again."

"Oh, good Lord."

Yes, Kagura and the Prince of Sadists were indeed at it again. This time, it was at a little ramen shop on the street corner, and while the two of them relentlessly went at each other's throats with murderous intent, Gin, Shinpachi, and Hijikata continued to eat their noodles, pointedly ignoring the heated battle.

Well, Gin did, anyway.

"Gin-san! Stop them, before they destroy Edo!"

"Doesn't matter, Shinpachi. We're not paying the bill anyway."

"Excuse me?" Hijikata demanded, outraged. "Well then, who the hell is?" Gin eyed him, amused.

"You are, of course."

"You don't do anything with your money except buy goddamn JUMP!" Kijikata spat, drawing his sword and swung it at Gin's head. Gin ducked. Porcelain and wood went flying. "I'M NOT PAYING A GODDAMN PENNY!" Gin was starting to get pissed, and he shook off Shinpachi, who was grabbing at his sleeve, pleading for him to stop fighting.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY?!" he roared, drawing his fist back and snapping it forward. He struck Hijikata square in the face and sent him reeling back, clutching at his nose. Gin stalked forward and snarled down at him. "SUCK IT THE FUCK UP AND PAY, YOU ASS-HAT!"

"YOU-"

Cue attempted homocide.

Shinpachi could only watch on helplessly as Gin and Hijikata started to pummel each other. Meanwhile, Okita whipped out his trusty bazooka and started firing it wildly and seemingly at random. Citizens shrieked, ran for cover, etc.

"WHO'S GONNA PAY THE HOSPITAL BILL?!" Shinpachi screamed shrilly, falling to his knees and pulling out his hair.

No one paid him any attention.
