(Madison Willis has just met Otae Shimura, Shinpachi's sister, and found out that Madison doesn't live in Edo. Enjoy! Oh, and angelbott, thank you for the review! But this won't really follow the anime or manga, if that's what you're saying. XD)


The Yorozuya and I were following Otae after she kicked Kondo Isao in the balls. Soon after, Otae began to talk like she forgot about it.

"Are you excited to see my work, Madison-Chan?"

I looked at the back of her head, and answered politely, since I refused to get beaten up by her, "Meh, a little. It's just a bar, with men flirting with women."

Otae gave out a chuckle, and surprisingly enough, she wasn't mad at all. Or so I think she wasn't.

"Yes, men do flirt with women, but that's because they get drunk quickly," She replied.

I smiled all tiny, and thought, Let's hope men won't flirt on me, because I'm a teenager!

Not long after we followed Otae, she said, "We're here!" I look up, and saw the sigh "Happy Bar Palace!" in bold, sparkling letters. I chuckled a bit, and wasn't nervous a bit.

Gintoki scratched his head again, and told me quietly, "Watch out for drunk freaks."

I laughed, and replied to him, "Don't you flirt with women while getting drunk as well?"

He choked up a bit, and was sweating. He said again, only in sulk, "Just watch out."

I chuckled once more before heading into the bar with the Yorozuya and Otae.

It was only a few steps as I entered it, but Gintoki and Kagura shouted, pointing at someone, "Why the hell are you guys here?"

I stared up front, and saw Hijikata Toushiro, and Okita Sougo. They were drinking, but they didn't look drunk yet.

Hijikata noticed the loud shouts from Gintoki and Kagura, and said, "I should ask you punks that question."

"We came only because we wanted someone to meet Otae!" They shouted back at the Shinsengumi members.

Hijikata cocked an eyebrow up, sort of glared at the two loud-mouths, and asked, "Oh? Who?"

Gintoki pointed at me, and yelled at Hijikata, "This girl!"

Hijikata just looked at me for a second, while I blinked my eyes for not feeling comfortable with this stare. Gintoki told me, "Since you've seen these jerks, and sadly we know them well, why don't you introduce yourself?"

I blinked again, but said, "Alright."

I took a few steps forward, and bowed. I knew a lot of the things that people do in Japan. I told the two, drinking sake, "Hello. My name is Madison Willis. Nice to meet you."

Okita stared at me also, and said, "A foreign girl? Maybe I can flirt with her."

My eyes widened. Hijikata shouted at him, "Like hell you will! She's too young to be with you! Hell, she's too young to be in this bar!"

Otae informed him, "Don't worry. She's not going to drink alcohol, Hijikata-San."

"Alright. We are the police, so we'll watch out for this girl named 'Madison'."

I knew he would say that since he's the Vice-Chief at the Shinsengumi Headquarters. I didn't flinch one bit.

Okita said idiotically, "Let's get her drunk, so that she'll want me."

I shouted at him, "Hell no! I'm too young to drink, and I never will drink! And if you flirt with me..." I pointed at his straight face, with some death glare on my face. "...I'll beat the shit out of you."

Okita blinked, and raised his brows up. He then said, "Okay, you're not my type anyways."

I wasn't affected my it. I didn't even want a boyfriend, so it didn't matter what he said.

Gintoki slammed his hand on one of the tables, and shouted at Hijikata, "Are you going to flirt with ladies if you get drunk?"

Hijikata told him, without shouting, "First off, shut up. Second, I would if I didn't know what I was doing."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Gintoki kept shouting at Hijikata, and I wasn't even sure if he was paying attention to his yelling or not.

Hijikata glared at him, and told him with a lower tone, "It means that I'd get wasted a lot, you idiot."

I really didn't want Gintoki to yell again, but he kept doing it anyways.

"Shall we have a competition for drunk?"

This type of thing happened and Gintoki and Hijikata were so drunk, they didn't know who they were facing anymore.

But Hijikata told him with a grin on his face, "No. Let's use our swords. Your sword looks useless since it's wooden."

Gintoki had an anger mark on his face, and showed an anger smile. He yelled once more before he was fighting with Hijikata. "Don't you dare call my sword useless! I use it all the time, you bastard!"

They both then took their swords out, and clash them together. I had a huge feeling that they would break stuff, but for the past minute, they surprisingly didn't break anything. Not a glass, nothing.

Hijikata said with the low tone again, "You think you're awesome with that wooden sword?"

Gintoki replied with that smile, which was meaning he was angry, "It may be wooden, but it's nearly unbreakable!"

They both kept clashing their swords until Kondo was stepping into the bar.

He said while in pain, "T-Toshi. Are you asking Otae for me?"

Hijikata ignored him, but Kondo saw Otae, and ran towards her. He then yelled, as if he wasn't in pain anymore, "OTAAAAEEEE! Marry me, and we can have ten children!"

He was this close to kiss her, since he was puckering his lips, but Otae punched him right in the face. She didn't look, but she knew that she got him.

I walked to Otae, and told her, "Um, Otae-Chan. I know he's a stalker to you, but if you keep beating the crap out of him, I'll never be able to introduce myself to him, even though I could care less about him."

Otae looked at me, and realized, "You're right, Madison-Chan. You can introduce him right now, while the men are fighting. He may be still conscious."

I turned my body, and crouched down at Kondo, who's face was punched which caused a big red mark, and said, "Hello. My name is Madison Willis. Nice to meet you."

I couldn't bow to him because I was crouching. He slowly raised his head up, grunting, and looked at me with his eyes closed half-way.

He barely smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you too, Madison." Kondo then tried to get up, but was dizzy after he completely stood. "Oh crap...my head."

I asked him out of the blue, "So why do you stalk Otae, Gori-San?"

He turned white, and shouted at me, "I stalk her because I love her! And now you're calling me 'Gorilla'?"

Before I could answer, I heard Gintoki concluding the fight he was having with Hijikata. I turned around to look, and saw Gintoki grabbing Hijikata's sword. He was also holding his sword, but I didn't know what he would do next.

Gintoki told Hijikata in a low tone, surprisingly in English, "Long live the king."

Kagura, Shinpachi, and even myself, blinked at his conclusion of the fight. Hijikata laughed hard, and exclaimed at him, "You're not the king of anything! The only king you are is being the king of idiots!"

Shinpachi then told Gintoki, "Um, Gin-San, you're using that like you're in 'The Lion King'."

Gintoki replied to Shinpachi, "So what? I just wanted to be serious to this jerk, and end this brief fight."

I slapped my forehead, and said, "Gintoki, Shinpachi's right. You're not a lion, and you're not a king."

"Now you're following Glasses-San, Madison-Chan?" He shouted at me.

Shinpachi flipped out again, and shouted back at Gintoki, "Just because I wear glasses, doesn't mean you have to call me 'Glasses-San'!"

Kagura picked her nose, and added, "Gin-Chan doesn't have the voice of Simba, who was originally voiced by American Matthew Br*derick."

"You don't need to point out the obvious," Shinpachi told Kagura with a drop of sweat coming down his face.

Just then, I heard a sound that sounded like it was coming from the ceiling. I couldn't even tell what it was. Is someone up there investigating?

Gintoki twitched and noticed the sound too. He said, "I think I know who that is."

He swung his wooden sword into the ceiling, and I heard a scream. Seconds later, a person falls down from the ceiling, to the hard ground. I then found out who it was.

It was Ayame Sarutobi, or nicknamed Sa-Chan, the female with long purple hair and red glasses, wearing a ninja outfit.

It barely missed her when she landed on the ground, as the wooden sword hit it right in front of her face. She barely flinched, but grinned.

She said, "Clever move, Gin-San.~"

Sa-Chan's eyes look at me, and she exclaims, "Who is this girl? Is she your girlfriend?"

Gintoki blinked, and punched her in the head.

"No, you moron. She's too young to be my girlfriend. Plus, we met some time ago."

She gave out a sigh of relief, as if she would be angry if I was Gintoki's girlfriend.

"Good, because I'm the only one for you, Gin-Chan~!" She exclaims, blushing slightly, with sparkling eyes.

I told her, "He hates you. Go away."

She stopped blushing, and made a pout face at me. She then said, "Why? So that you can have him?"

Sa-Chan really was stupid. I answered her, "No, it's because he's sick of your poor attitude, and he's sick of you stalking him. You're like Kondo."

Kondo yells, with a rainfall of tears pouring down his face, "I'm not a stalker! I've said this over a million times already to people who say that!"

I ignored him, and told Sa-Chan, "No matter how hard you try, you're just a weird bitch."

Sa-Chan smiled, but was angry at the same time. She exclaimed again, "You sure have a big mouth, young lady! What's your name?"

"It's Madison Willis," I replied.

She took out a piece of paper out of nowhere, and wrote down my name, obviously in Japanese.

"Madison...Willis..." She muttered.

Seconds after she finished writing my name down, I heard a loud rumble, coming from outside. Before there was a bit of chaos, Sa-Chan said to me, "I'll be watching you."

"Whatever," I said.

She dashed back in the hole in the ceiling, and went out of the bar. There, a big crash came in the entrance.

There was a big ball of dust all over the entrance. Most of the people, myself included, coughed, and closed our eyes so that dust wouldn't get in them. As the dust was clearing up, I squinted my eyes, and saw a figure of a person, and a figure that looked different from a person.

Just when the dust completely cleared off, there was the idiotic criminal and his sidekick.

Katsura and Elizabeth?

They were in disguises, but they weren't really working for me to not recognize them, even if I didn't know who they were.

Katsura, wearing an undone suit (The top), and a fake twirl mustache, said, "Hello everybody! Bring me a bottle of wine, please!"

He laughed, and smiled big. Elizabeth, on the other hand, was as usual, probably a person in a duck-like costume, with hairy legs. He, or she as Katsura says it, had a suit on as well, only it didn't wear pants. The top of his/her suit was undone as well. He had a fake beard that almost looked like Kondo's actual beard.

Gintoki stared at Katsura with his dead-fish eyes, and told him while picking his nose yet again, "Oi, Zura. You're make the worst disguises ever."

Katsura exclaimed at him, "It's not Zura, it's Sir Katsuki!"

I said with a laugh, "'Katsuki'? Wow, not only do you have a bad disguise, you're also bad at disguising your name!"

There, I laughed even harder. Katsura then ran fast towards me, and grabbed me by my collar, or the top of my new outfit.

"Who are you, lady?" He made a mad face, which only made me laugh again.

Seconds later, I managed to calm down, and answer him, "Boy, I've made a lot of introductions from myself. My name is Madison Willis. Nice to meet you, Zura."

I bowed, but he said again, "It's not Zura, it's Katsura!" He said his real name. He yelped, and said, "That's not what I meant!"

Gintoki informed Katsura, "Don't worry, the Shinsengumi are wasted, so they won't even pay attention to you."

"Is that so?"

"Yup."

Shinpachi walked by me, and said, "You really have made a few introductions to some people today." I nodded my head slightly, chuckling.

Katsura wasn't here for five minutes, and he already said, "Well, since nobody will serve me, I'll just take this bottle of wine that I requested." He grabbed an unopened bottle of pure grape wine, held it in his arm, and Elizabeth held a sign, saying, 'Let's go!'

"Right!" Katsura added.

They both ran out together, and I shook my head, thinking, He's still an idiot. But I like him.

Katsura is a funny character, almost as funny as Gintoki.

Gintoki told Kagura, Shinpachi and me, "Let's go. We've seen enough chaos for today."

The three of us followed Gintoki as he and us were heading out of the bar.

A few hours later, it was nighttime. Not only was it nighttime, but it was late. It was maybe almost midnight.

Gintoki had recently turned off the t.v. after watching some news with his idol. Christel Ketsuno.

Everytime she would appear on the screen, he would blush, smile, and say, "I love you, Ketsuno-San~!"

Before I was about to get ready for bed, I asked Gintoki with a brow raised up, "What's so great about her, Gintoki-San?"

He looked at me, with a chibi look, and answered with a high tone, "She's awesome.~" That didn't really answer my question, but I figured that he would just say she was awesome again if I asked once more.

I then went to the bathroom, and realized that I never put my own clothes away. So I grabbed them, and asked Kagura, "Kagura-Chan? Where can I put my clothes?"

She thought about you for a minute, and answered, "You can put them in this closet." She pointed at a closet, and I put them there.

I thought, I should go to the closet every day so that I won't forget where they are.

I also noticed that I didn't know where to sleep. But Kagura asked, "Do you want to sleep in the other closet, where I usually sleep, or the couch? Your choice."

I didn't quite understand why she would sleep in a closet, but I figured that she was small enough to fit. My eyes widened, and found out that I was nearly as tall as Kagura.

My answer was, "May I sleep in the closet? I sort of wanted to know what it feels like."

She chuckled, and told me, "Closet it is!"

She hands me a pair of pajamas, which were originally hers, but she said that she cleaned them, and I was lucky that they fitted me.

As I was getting into the closet, about to lie down, Kagura told me before closing the closet door, "Good night, Madison-Chan."

I replied with a smile, "Good night, Kagura."

She then closed the door, and let me sleep for the night. I needed my rest, but I couldn't really sleep until a while after. It was because of my family.

I WILL get home! I will sometime, but I'm stuck here for now.

I wasn't crying surprisingly, but all I wanted was to sleep, so that I could get ready for the next day.


Well, that was an interesting time on Madison's first day in Edo. XD And she did meet the Shinsengumi, Katsura and Ayame (Sa-Chan). She will meet more in the next chapter, and things will get interesting later. I hope I won't make any characters OOC, even though I don't care if characters are OOC as long as they still make me smile. :D

By the way, I'm thinking that I should write references from shows/movies/other anime, like the one with the Lion King line. "Long Live the King." And yes, I bleeped out the person who voices Simba. Hope I got his last name right though. ^^"

Other than that, hope you enjoyed this! Please review! :)
