Chapter 3: Pass the Baton...With a Twist
"Okay then, let me explain the mechanics of the first game. The first game will be a pass the baton with a twist." Hinowa started to explain as she pressed a button near her. The party hall started to change into an oval with people cheering alongside the race track.
"Oi, oi, since when did this party become a sports fest?"
"Well, Gin-san since this is a fan-fic and all the more a Gintama fan-fic, anything is possible."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, so how will we play?"
"As I said this game has a twist. It's not a normal pass-the-baton race; this one has three obstacles which will be divided among the three of each team. The first obstacle is a cosplay/costume door. Once person A enters the door, she will automatically change into a costume that may or may not help him or her. The second will be a 1-on-1 battle with the other teams' members, and the last one will be a swimming pool obstacle. Now that the instructions are said, please assign respective members in your team on which obstacle will the member be on stand-by."
"Ne, Megane, I think I have seen this game somewhere. I just can't seem to remember it."
"It's kinda like the sports fest game in (1) G*ku*n A*lice, except we don't have any alices like them that can be used in the game."
"Uggh, I think I'm going to back ou—"
"I just want to present to everyone the prizes for these party games. We have eat-all-you-can coupons on a sweet shop, mayonnaise dining, donut shop and buffet dining+ sukonbu , Otsu CD's that are not yet released, free pass to a zoo in which you can pet the animals + Elizabeth key-chains, pictures of Kyuubei-chan, Otae-chan, and Gin-san, some money-prizes, special anpan, a free pass in any store in Yoshiawara, a new set of special kunais, 3 tell-me-the-prize-you-want, and lastly a 1-on-1 fight with the hero of Yoshiawara."
Everyone started to enter their fantasy world as they thought of getting the prizes for themselves.
"Strawberry parfait!"
"Food and sukonbu!"
"Mayonnaise"
"Donut"
"Otsu-chan!"
"Anpan!"
"Furry paws!"
"Money!"
"To destroy the world"
"Die Hijikata!"(smirks)"1-on-1 battle with Danna, huh? Interesting."
(grins)"1-on-1 fight with the hero of Yoshiawara"
"Oi, wwait, wwhy am Ii iincluded in the ppriizes? A 1-on-1 ffight with mme?" Gintoki stammered as he glanced towards the 170cm Trio team and saw the dark aura creeping at their backs as they glared daggers towards him. "I'LL BE KILLED! I'M STILL YOUNG AND I STILL WANT TO MARRY KETSUNO ANA AND GROW OLD!"
A kunai suddenly found its way on Gin's head.
"Will ya just shut up? Can't you see that Hinowa said this so that everyone will be excited on the game? Besids look everyone is now fired up."
Gin glanced at the whole group. Everyone was INDEED fired up. He heard the Yato siblings breaking their fists and necks grinning sadistically. Actually everyone was grinning edge to edge and they were starting to bend and warm-up too.
After the group talked about who will be assigned in each obstacle…
"All right, I will announce the people who will be on stand-by on each obstacle. For the Housekeepers team the cosplayer will be Ikumatsu-dono, the fighter will be Tama-chan, and the swimmer will be Mutsu-san."
"Ikumatsu-dono will cosplay?!"Katsura said surprised
"Oi, Zura, don't think of dirty thoughts."
"Zura ja nai, Katsura da, Gintoki, and I am not thinking of dirty thoughts."
Sadistic Sisterhood Three's cosplayer will be Soyohime, the fighter will be Nobume-chan, and the swimmer will be Kagura-chan.
"Ehh, why didn't you choose to be the fighter imouto-chan~?"
"Shuddap Bakaniki, Nobume-chan and I were arguing about it a while ago-aru, I'm the fastest in our group too. Wait why am I explaining it to you-aru?"
"China in a swimsuit? Eww…"
"Who said I will be wearing one-aru?!"
"Okita-san, no one will be wearing swimsuits in the swimming pool obstacle because the we won't be swimming in the pool itself due to the wild animals that was put in it." Shinpachi explained
Feeling embarrassed, he covered his face with his usual deadpanned face. "Whatever."
"So you were expecting to see imouto-chan in a swimsuit, huh? You are not allowed to see my precious little sister's pale skin revealed." Kamui said grinning widely as dark 'sis-con' aura crept in his back.
"Who would want to see your ugly, monster sister in a swimsuit? Yuck, just the thought of it makes me sick!"
"You were imagining something policeman-kun?" Kamui moved closer towards Okita as he was cracking his fists.
"Will you too just shut-up! I want the game to start and both of you are wasting time!" kagura butted in as she bumped the heads of the two guys.
"Ow"
"And so continuing on, the Joui is Joy-Strawberry Parfait-Ahahaha-Old Comrades-Punch-Slash-Kick-Ahahaha-Strawberry Milk-Elizabeth Keychains Are Cute-Trio's cosplayer will be Katsura-san, the fighter will be Sakamoto-san, and Gin-san will be the swimmer." Hinowa continued.
"Eh, Gin-san why aren't you the fighter?"
"Nah, I'll just waste my energy and besides, I'll be killed if I ever chance upon to fight that psychotic Yato over there."
"For the Straight-men team, the cosplayer will be Yamazaki-kun, the fighter will be Hijikata-san, and the swimmer will be Shinpachi-kun"
"My, my,so the Yorozuya trio will be facing each other in the final obstacle huh?" Otae chimed in
"For the Otose Snack-shop team, the cosplayer will be Otose-dono, the fighter will be Catherine-san, Hase- I mean madao-san will be the swimmer."
"Oi! My name is Hasegawa, don't change it!"
"Stalker three's cosplayer is Sarutobi-chan, the fighter is Kondo-san, and the swimmer is Ayumu-san. The Amazoness team's cosplayer is Otae-chan, the fighter is Kyuubei-chan, and the swimmer is Tsukuyo. The playmates team's cosplayer is Seita, the fighter is Sadaharu, and the swimmer is Elizabeth-san. And lastly, the 170cm Trio's cosplayer is Takasugi-san, the fighter is Kamui-kun, and the swimmer is Okita-kun. Is everyone in their places now?"
"HAI!"
"You can choose and have one special item that you can use throughout the are only 3 cosplay doors, so first come, first serves. The 2nd obstacle is a 1-on-1 fight in which whoever is beaten-up or gives up first will be the first to continue. But, if the match is a draw, both of the participants may procede to the next level while stopping each other on the way. Also, there will be one lucky team that will be skipping the 2nd obstacle. And please, no killing and bloodbath fights. I, along with the rest of the Hyakka members will be watching and judging the race over here. On my mark we shall start the race. Ready…...set…...GO!"
The cosplayer participants dashed inside to the cosplay doors with the baton in their hands. The The first one who entered was Takasugi, Katsura, and Soyohime. Soyohime was the first one to step out. She was wearing a heavy violet kimono with a heavy hairdress and she was walking on two 7 feet walking sticks. She immediately continued to walk faster to pass the baton to Nobume. Everyone was shock that she can still walk fast without any trouble with those walking sticks.
"It was required for me to learn how to walk with uncomfortable dresses and things with grace, so they made me practice to walk on sticks with heavy outfits." Soyohime smiled
The next one that came out was Katsura in a Captain Zura costume.
"Are, isn't that the clothes he was wearing? Why didn't he change?"
But then Katsura's costume had an extension, a big and heavy ball was chained in his right foot. He then started to walk dragging his right foot with him.
Next came Takasugi, he was wearing cocoon costume. Yes, a cocoon costume.
"Bwahahaha! Give me some camera and let me take a photo of this lame Takasugi!" Gintoki bursted in to laughter as he watched Takasugi hopping toward Kamui looking pissed
The audience started to take their cameras and take pictures when they suddenly stopped when they saw Takasugi giving them death glares.
Then came Ayame in an (2)El*ctra cosplay, Yamazaki in (3)*yoma of Pr*ce of *ennis cosplay, Otae with a bear costume, Ikumatsu in a geisha costume, Otose in a cat-eared school-girl costume (bleh!), and Seita in a puppy costume.
As the rest dashed to give the baton to their next comrade, A fight was already starting between Kamui and Nobume.
"Hnn, so my opponent is a weak girl? I have no time for weaklings."
"Tch, I need to finish you off so that I can get the prize already."
CLASH! The fight was on.
While Kamui and Nobume were fighting, the other teams engaged in their fights too. Sakamoto and Kondo started their fight, Hijikata v.s. Kyuubei, and Tama v.s. Catherine. Seita came in last so their team was the lucky one to skip the 2nd obstacle.
"Playmates Trio group is advancing towards the last obstacle!" Hinowa announced.
"For the sake of Otae-chan's pictures, I will win!"
"Ahahaha, Kintoki will beat me up if I don't hurry up, so I guess I will be using our special item now." Sakamoto pulls out an album "Please let me pass and you can have this album for free. Ahahaha" Sakamoto bribed as he opened the album which was full of pictures of Otae.
"Otae-chan!" Kondo grabbed the album and started to look at the pictures. Sakamoto rushed to pass the baton to Gintoki.
"Team Joui is Joy-Strawberry Parfait-Ahahaha-Old Comrades-Punch-Slash-Kick-Ahahaha-Strawberry Milk-Elizabeth Keychains Are Cute-Trio is advancing towards the last obstacle!" Hinowa announced
"It's time to pay you back for cracking my sword back then" (See Yagyuu arc)
"It's your fault for being gentle on me when you learned that I was a girl."
Slash. Kick. Jump. Punch. Nobume and Kamui were having an intense fight and it seemed that they forgot about the game as they were too engaged in the fight. Nobume's kimono's sleeve was torned and she was already exhausted. (Nobume is wearing a white short kimono here, that looks like the Mimawarigumi uniform.)
"Tch, Nobume is having a hard time with Aniki. It's time to use our special item." Kagura grabs a donut from a box of donuts and waves it on Nobume "Nobume-chan!I have a donut here, come and get it!"
Nobume suddenly turned around and dashed towards Kagura. Kamui sensed food, which was the donut, and dashed towards Kagura. Kagura saw Kamui and Nobume dashing towards her side-by-side. Kagura sensing that she might be devoured threw the donut in the air. Nobume and Kamui jumped to bite the donut, but they only bumped their heads on to each other.
Sougo and Kagura grabbed the baton and dashed towards the swimming pool.
"Heh, you're my opponent Tama? Well I want to finish this so I can grab the money so…hey look over there!"
"What is it Catherine-sama?" Tama turned to see where Catherine was pointing at, "There's nothing there." When she turned she saw Catherine dashing towards Madao and she rushed towards Mutsu
"Kyuu-chan, use our special item! We're lagging behind!" Otae shouted
"Hai, Tae-chan." She then grabbed a bottle of mayonnaise out of nowhere, showed it to Hijikata, and threw it in the air.
"DON'T WASTE MAYO!" Hijikata jumped to grab the battle of mayonnaise and saw Kyuubei handing the baton to Tsukuyo as he landed in the ground. He scrambled up and ran towards Shinpachi.
Shinpachi ran towards the pool and saw Mutsu, Tsukuyo, and Madao starting to swim and evade the the wild animals in the pool (which were crocodiles and sharks) with Elizabeth and Gin ahead of them. As he jumped on the water, Sougo and Kagura suddenly stepped on him and continued to jump and hop on the heads of the participants and crocodiles.
"Well this is a very tight race. Elizabeth-san, Gin, and Tsukuyo are now out of the pool and are running towards the finish line. Okita-kun and Kagura-chan are now out of the pool. Mutsu-san is getting out of the pool too. Ahh, Shinpachi-kun and Hasegawa-san drowned! Gin-san and Tsukuyo are racing towards the last 2k edge to edge alongside with Kagura-chan and Okita-kun also racing towards the finish line edge to edge. It seems that the girls of these pairs are preventing the other by throwing kunais and bullets. Woah! Tsukky and Kagura-chan suddenly teamed up against Gin-san and Okita-kun!" Hinowa announced catching for breath
"Ehh, Mutsu-san is going another way? Shinpachi-kun and Madao can't pass Tsukky, Gin, Okita-kun, and Kagura-chan because of the intense battle among them. Oh wait, WE HAVE A WINNER FOR THE GAME! Seita just crossed the finish line and the victory goes to the Playmates trio!"
"WHAATT?!" Gin and Kagura shouted in unison. "My Strawberry parfait/Food and Sukonbu!" They both fell in the ground with the face of defeat.
"Seita, what prize do you want?"
Seita whispered something to Hinowa.
"Okay Seita, so shall we move on to the next game?"
(1)-Gakuen Alice...I forgot what chapter was it, but it was a sport fest that happened in the manga
(2)-Electra...she's a Marvel character.
