C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only HE BE LIKE SENPAI NOTICED HIM YO.

jerkygirl It's not a letter, it's more like her train of thoughts (: (I don't think you can send letters properly in the middle of war..) I'm basing this on the fact that despite her exterior character is rowdy as hell, she actually thinks a lot about the things she cares for!


"Honestly," Otae whispered while biting her lower lip. "How did he even manage to make it here with all this injuries..." The others in the household wondered the same too as Otae began tending to his wounds. There were deep cuts all over his body and a big gash across his back. His clothes were thorn and tattered, covered in random dirt and patches of blood all over.

Gintoki just laid on his side with a hand propping his head up, the look on his face dark. Just exactly what was going on in Kyou? Why has Jimmy-kun come back from there and what was with his injuries? (Yamazaki: I'M NOT JIMMY! Vinny: -Stabs him with a katana in the ass- Damare, Jimmy.) The mood in the room was heavy.

Otae closed the first aid box and gave everyone a reassuring smile, "he will be fine. Just needs some rest. I have tended to all his wounds so his life shouldn't be in too much danger."

"Well," Otose exhaled as she pulled away her cigarettes from her lips. "It's late already, let's head to bed. It's not like he will wake up anytime soon." Everyone nodded in silent agreement and one by one, they left the room. Being the last to leave, Kagura took a look back before slowly closing the doors.

Sadist, are you alright? You haven't lost to anyone yet, right?


"EVERYONE! WAKE UP!" Shinpachi yelled at the top of his lungs as he ran down the hallways when... "UWAH!" ... He got blown away by a flying door.

"Shut up, you damn pair of glasses." Kagura glared at him while rubbing his eyes.

Barely recovering, a vein popped up on his forehead. "Kagura-chan! This isn't the time for this! Yamazaki-san woke u- OOOF!" He spat out a few drops of blood after receiving a flying kick to the gut and lay there, motionless.

"You damn pair of glasses! People usually say the important information out first, yes?" She spat on him before running towards the guest room, hoping her questions can be answered there. "Please, anything about how that bastard is doing will do. That's not too much to ask for, yes? Just as Kagura was about to barge through the room door, she stopped in her tracks upon hearing a voice.

"Please don't strain yourself too much."

"Thank you, Tama-san."

Slowly, the porcelain doll turned her back towards the door and sat on the porch, deciding that she should probably wait for the rest before going in. She couldn't have her reunion yet but that doesn't mean no one else deserves it, yes?


"Oi, Jimmy. Why are you back in Edo?"

"Danna, it's not Jimmy, it's Yamazaki." His left eyes twitched in annoyance. Honestly, this guys. Still as carefree as ever with all the war and bloodshed going on. Well, he knew that it was just a facade.

How can anyone feel alive after all that has happen and with all that's to come? Nothing but misery.

Gengai smirked. "Are those no good police all dead already? Is that why you came running back?"

"It's not that! It's just..." Something was wrong. For Yamazaki to not even come up with a plain Jimmy retort, the situation must be real bad. "Everyone, please listen to me."


When we arrived at Kyou, we settled down quickly and got to work, assembling our forces and assigning our stations. We instigated small rebellions all over the country that continued to fuel the flame that were already burning. Things were going very well, our forces grew rapidly.

We should have expected them to strike fast.

As you guys know, 1 week ago, war was officially declared. The Shogun moved most of the imperial forces to Kyou and launched an all out attack. Air ships filled the night skies and began firing as foot soldiers stormed the villages, we barely held our ground against them. As it stands, both sides are desperate.

I was sent back to Edo to guide remaining rebellion forces to Kyou but on my way back... everyone except for me were exterminated by... Naraku forces. I barely escaped. To top it off, a day prior to reaching Edo, I lost all contact with the main headquarters at Kyou... I'm not sure what's the situation there now... Going to the Yorozuya house was no option for me, I wasn't even sure if you guys were still there that's why I came to the Dojo...


Kagura's breath was held the whole time. Zaki lost contact with the Sadist? No way...

"If that's the case isn't it obvious? The Naraku forces have already made their move on Kyou."

As if the mood in the room wasn't dark enough. Otose's words broke something in them. Those stupid police who made promises to be back. As much as they wanted to believe, the situation sounded much too grave.

"I'm going."

"K-kagura-chan..."

The youngest stood up, determined flames burning in her eyes. "I'm going to Kyou. I can't protect anything by staying in Edo anymore. The only solution is to go to Kyou and wreck havoc, yes?"

Gintoki snickered before roaring in laughter. Everyone stared at him, not surprised at all, a few smiles even showed up, before he stopped and grinned widely at his surrogate daughter. "I expect nothing lesser from the little monster I have been raising."

"W-what are you guys saying? Going there means your lives will be in dange-"

"Danger? Did you say danger?" Gintoki turned to Yamazaki with deadpanned eyes. Otose smiled while dragging her cigarettes, these guys never change even in the face of certain death. "Oi oi, did you damage your head Jimmy? Should we get you checked there too? Or did you lose your testicl*** and the trauma got to your brain? Shall we go get you a new pair?"

Even though he sighed, Shinpachi had a warm smile on his face. "Yamazaki-san, now that things have come to this point, don't expect to stop him, her, or me." The Yorozuya trio stood up side by side and grinned widely. "They are the ones who will be in danger once we arrive there."

"You guys..."

"I will go too."

"T-tama-san!?" Yamazaki panicked but... the warm smile on her face... The determination from the three of them.

"It will be alright, whatever happens... the Yorozuya are here for everyone."
