"You should really get out of your room," Kyuubei suggested.

I sulked in the corner of the room. "Not when there's a chance to meet him again..."

Kyuubei sighed and walked over to her and sat down in front of her, cross legged. "The Yorozuya members are here. They want you to come with them to... somewhere."

I furrowed my eyebrows then stood up and made my way out of the room and to the entrance of the Yagyuu mansion. And there stood the Yorozuya members in ski wears. I don't have a good feeling about his.

"We won a free ticket to a ski trip! Do you want to come with-"

I cut Gintoki off. "No. From what I've heard, every where you three go, you all get in trouble or cause problems. And I don't want that."

"Maaaaa... I know what she's talking about," said Shinapachi, looking at Gintoki and Kagura with narrowed eyes.

"No, she is going."

I turned around to see Kyuubei. "I don't want to..."

"And stay in your room for hours, feeling sorry for yourself because you lost some one you love?" she stood beside me eyed me with an angery look. "You're going with them either way or another. I'm not making you stay here. Even if that means to hurt you."

I sighed. "Ok, I'll go," I said in defeat.

The Yorozuya members creepily smiled at me, and Kyuubei smiled like she was proud of me.

"Yeah yeah, you dd the right thing, Yuuki-chan. Just forget about that sadist and move on," said Kagura with a pat on the back to me.

"Y-yeah..." I mumbled with a smly smile.

"Yoshi! Let's go!" cried the Yorozuya members and walked out of the mansion, pulling me from behind.

"But... but... Kyuubei-chan! You told them?" I yelled.

She just waved at me and smiled sheepishly. I'm going to kill her when we get back.


"Can't believe this..."

"Can't believe what?" asked Gintoki, staring up at the Ski resort.

"I've never ski-ed before. I'm a country girl not a..."

"City girl like me," Kagura said with a creepy smirk.

She's a city girl?

She suddenly snapped her head to the side and a smile formed on her face as she waved, furiously, at the direction. "Ane-san! Ane-san!"

I turned to where she was waving at, and my eyes lied on a lady that looked like she was in her 20's.

The lady turned to me with this...smile and said, "Hello. My name is Otae. Yours'?"

"M-my name is Yuuki. Nice to meet you..." I greeted, also.

"Yuuki-chan? You mean, the Yuuki-chan by Kyuu-chan's cousin?" her eyes filled with...gratitude. I don't know. I don't even know how to explain how much her eyes lit with happiness or whatever.

So by answering her question, I nodded.

Her smile widened. "Why! Why are you hanging out with some bunch of idiots?"

My eyes widened at what she had just said. "Umm...idiots? Are you talking about...the Yorozuya?" I asked, unsurely.

"Of course! You guys are idiots, aren't you?" she asked to my...friends, I guess.

Kagura and Gintoki had pulled the 'huh?' face while Shinpachi had sweat dropped at his sister. Why I knew they were siblings? I dunno.

"Can we just start ski-ing?" I asked, awkwardly.

They all answered with a 'sure' or 'yeah, whatever.'


Currently, Kagura and I were rolling a giant snow ball up the hill where people ski-s or snowboard-s. Don't ask why. She made me help her do it for no specific reason.

So what we are making is NOT a snowman. It's actually...a specific male organ. A giant stick shaped snow was on the top of the mountain with one other snowball, we had made earlier, next to it. It really did look like the organ.

"You two ladies. RIght there, rolling up that giant snowball. Stop it," said a bored voice from behind.

That voice...

"Sadist!" Kagura exclaimed as soon as she turned around to face the person behind us, "what are you doing here?"

"Just stop making that ball or whatever before you kill someone very important in this country," replied the person.

...that voice is...

"And you too," said the same person, "chop that snow ball in half before I-"

I turned around to face the person and he stopped, staring at me, in the middle of his sentence.

We both stared into our eyes, deeply. Like we have something very interesting in either of our eyes.

His red eyes were ruby-like. His light-brownish hair was perfectly in place even with the crazily blowing wind that surrounded us. His Shinsengumi uniform fit him perfectly with him. He was...handsome. He was even more...better looking than the last time I had seen him. It seemed like I had fallen in love with him all over again...

...and maybe I did but not saying it. Just because I did not wanting to accept the truth.

"Sougo...kun..." I mumbled, just as he said,

"Yuuki...chan..."

He suddenly pulled a stern look. "What are you doing here?"

"Sadist!" Kagura exclaimed, "we both don't want you here! Go away!"

But Sougo-kun and I ignored her.

I looked away from him, gazing down at the snow on the ground, and mumbled, "Am I not allowed to be here?"

"It's not that. I meant, why are you here with...her? Them?" he gestured to Kagura who didn't lok pleased by what he had just said.

"What's wrong with handing out with the Yorozuyas? I really like them, and they are not bad at all!" I cried.

"They have bad influences! They'll make you do stuff you'll never imagine doing!" he said back to me, not yelling but sounding very angry, "like what you're doing right now! Making...organs out of snow!" he gestured over to the specific male organ we were (or I was forced into) making.

"I agreed to do it!"

"Well don't!"

"This has nothing to do with you!"

"Well I'm just trying to look out for you!" ...what? "The Yorozuyas would bring bad luck to you! It's no good hanging out with them!"

"And again, this. has. nothing. to do. with. YOU!"

"All right then! Don't come crying to me when something happens to you! I won't lend you neither of my shoulders or anything!"

"I wouldn't want to cry on some horrible person's shoulder who goes making stinkin' promises and then break them like its nothing!"

"Are you still holding a grudge over what happened three years ago? Please! Get over it! I've gone over it as soon as I left your mansion!"

I glared at him. "I hate you. I can't even believe I had considered such person as my best friend."

"Me neither. I can't even start to think I had been stupid enough to have some pathetic friend."

Those harsh words stabbed into my heart like knives jamming into my flesh and hurt so much, yet I kept my pride. Not wanting to make the hurt written all over my face. "Go away! I don't want to see you, ever again!" Just as I yelled those words, I slapped my hand on the huge snowball, and it flew away from us. To al three of our surprise, the snowball slammed into a helicopter that flew right above us.

Damn...

All of us stared at the seen...stunned by what had just happened.

Oh my...big trouble.
