Disclaimer= I do not own Gintama.
I had to stay at the hospital for a couple of days to recover from the punch that I took. Gin-san unfortunately had to skip the next job so he can finish his Shinsegumi work. So I guess Kagura-chan and myself were going to be a two-person team once again. From what she informed me, it was a relatively easy one. All we had to do was move boxes from a small storage room to a big warehouse. This is a job I know myself and Kagura-chan can do very efficiently; she won't get riled up to to the stress of the situation.
We get to the place and this big guy greets us.
"How yall doing today?"
After the pleasantries were exchanged, he quickly explains to us what we have to do. I didn't listen too much because honestly, we just had to move boxes from one place to another. I saw no difficulties in that. Before he opened the door, he said,
"I hope yall is super strong, you ain't moving no little boxes..."
He opens the door...and my jaw drops. The boxes were stacked like a pyramid; a HUGE pyramid! Judging by their size, each box must have had to weigh a good 20 lbs each. I was worried that pipsqueak like me was not going to be able to move those boxes. Kagura-chan sensed my uneasiness and told me to man up. Our bawse flashed his front-toothless grin and said,"
"I need this done in 3 hours."
"Don't worry," said Kagura-chan, "we'll get it done in two."
I looked at her like she was crazy.
"Um, Kagura-chan," I asked, "how on earth are we supposed to get this done in two hours!?!"
She seemed to have anticipated my question.
"Take this spinach I have in my pocket. If you want to get super strong, you need to yell out: AGAGAGAGAGAGA! After that battle cry, eat the spinach."
"I don't want to do THAT, it sounds lame."
"What did you say?!" She had that evil look in her eyes. I did what she said. The spinach was flowing through my veins. Kagura-chan and I attacked our work with great purpose. After 2 hours, we had only one box left to move. We were absolutely exhausted. We decided to carry the last box together to the warehouse. When we arrived there, we set it down and sat atop of the boxes. No one spoke for a while. After the silence, Kagura-chan was the first to speak.
"Shinpachi, that was really hard work."
"Yes it was," I said, "I'm just happy that we got it done."
We were so drained that both of us struggled to breathe normally for a good while. Kagura-chan rested her head on my shoulder, and well, how was I going to say no to that face? I looked at her, she looked at me, we zeroed in on each other's eyes and before you know it, we were engaged in a kiss. We both pulled away shocked. Neither of us spoke for a few minutes. I went first this time.
"Kagura-chan, what just happened."
"We kissed each other on the lips. As much as I liked it, we cannot mix business with pleasure."
"I understand."
Sometime later, I'm at the park on my day off, walking around. There were many leaves scattered about. I thought that I could gather up some of these leaves to use as burning fuel since we didn't have firewood. I picked up a leaf and dropped it. From a small distance away, I saw Kagura-chan and Okita-san holding hands and making out. My fist was clenched and I slowly started to lose focus. After catching Okita-san smiling after pulling away, I snapped and dashed towards him in an uncontrollable rage. Before I could get there, I was whacked in the side of the head by Hijikata-san. The force of the blow made me black out, but not before getting a clear visual of Kagura-chan's face showing content on it. That girl...
