"Oi, are you Shiroyasha?" A shadowy figure asked as Gintoki walked past.
But, Gintoki didn't stop. He closed his Jump and got on his vespa. Actually he didn't hear the shadowy figure at all.
"Oi! Wait!" yelled the shadowy figure.
Gintoki heard him this time, but he just stared back with his dead fish eye look. It looked like he was gonna leave anyways.
"Sorry, but it says up there that your a shadowy figure. I don't talk to strange shadowy figures. I could tell already it involves fighting. See ya~"
"Waiiit! How bout this! I'll change it to this!" negotiated the Random Passerby.
Gintoki hesitated for a second, but then backed up to listen.
"I have a job for you," Random Passerby said.
"Job? What kind of job?"
A job would be good as long as it didn't involve danger.
Shinpachi served the customer some tea and sat down, eager to find out what the deal was.
"My names Rin..." he said.
"You have a job for us?" Shinpachi said calmly.
"How much does it pay?" Kagura blurted out. "It better not be a mere 1000 yen($10) or I'm gonna beat you to a pulp aru! I want sukonbu and food for Sadaharu."
"Oi Kagura. That's still pretty cheap..."
"I need... The Pr..." Rin stuttured but couldn't find the right words. He immediately got down on his knees as if he was begging.
"I need a female to pretend to be the Princess for her first date!"
"Huuuh?"Shinpachi said with confusion. "How is this a life or death situation?"
"I was hired by her royal family to get the Princess ready for her date but... the Princess is refusing to go! If she doesn't go, they'll have my head!" Rin cried and kept bowing. He would bow harder if he could.
"I don't know," Shinpachi said. "Where would we find a woman-?"
"Shinpachi..." Kagura patted Shinpachi and pointed at the door. There was a person standing there.
"Perfect!" Rin said desperately, referring to the person standing at the door.
"Uuuh no. Best not that person... or better yet, not anyone we know," Shinpachi said with a huge sweatdrop.
"Please! It's only one date and after that she doesn't have to see the person ever again! In fact, that woman doesn't even have to like it or pretend to like it!"
"'That woman' ja nai, Katsura da!" Katsura said with annoyance. He obviously had enough of being called a woman. "I see Gintoki isn't here. Tell him I dropped by. Jaa~(bye)"
Everyone watched quietly as he left.
"I'm doooOooomed..." Rin said with ease. That is, until someone else walked into the room.
