I'm back with another request. Sorry but this one is a solo one by me. To those who like romance might like this. It may look strange at first but keep reading, as it will get better.
To those of you who have requested, don't worry, I have seen your request. I'm still planning how to write it.
This is an impossible request that I made. Because after all, that's what Gintama is all about. So long as it's not too errr...Unreal, I will still accept it.
I do not own Gintama as it belongs to its rightful owners.
Request 2: Dear Hijikata, pleases go on a date with Me
Gintoki skimmed through the letter lazily while lying on the sofa.
"This letter is for that Mayora."
In the Shinsengumi headquarters, a certain sadist has a letter in his hand.
"Oh a letter for Hijikata san." He murmured as he ripped the letter open, "I hope that he will let me take a peek inside first..."
"Oi. Sougo," The mayora interrupted him, "I never said that you can read it first."
"Well that's too bad Hijikata san, I took it for you so it's only natural that you should show respect."
"You're the one not showing respect!" Hijikata roared. "Anyway gimme that!"
1 minute had passed and Hijikata threw the letter onto the floor.
"WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS?!"
"What's wrong Hijikata san?" The sadist asked.
"THAT DAM WRITER THINK SHE COULD DO WHATEVER SHE WHATS TO!"
Sougo skimmed through the letter. And not long gave an evil grin.
"Hi-ji-ka-ta-san. You have just been cursed."
"Oi Sougo, don't think that you can scare the crap out of me."
"Oh but it's truuueeee..." Sougo gave his ghostly wail. "Come and seeee..."
"I-It's not funny y-you know..." (He's obviously lying)
Sougo pulled out a white sticker that was on the letter.
Now it reads: Dear Hijikata, please go on a date with MITSUBA.
Hijikata was frozen stiff.
"O-Oi. T-This is a joke right? C-Cause i-it's not very funny you know..."
Sougo slowly creped near to scared man's ear, "hijikata san..."
GYAHHHHHHH!
He turned to the sadist in rage, "QUIT MESSING WITH ME YOU SADIST!"
He calmed down and stared at the letter to make sure there was no mistake. But however, there were no other stickers so sadly, the rest is all true.
"But that's impossible," Hijikata said as he smoke a cigarette, she's dead."
"Oh really?" The sadist grin wider as he begins to chant out the card like a curse.
"qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm"
"O-Oi! Sougo!" Hijikata was shivering, "How did you even manage to read that?"
"Oh this? I stole it from the writer from the last request and I've master the gibberish of its magic code."
"I-Is that joss stick you're holding? D-Don't tell m-"
A loud thunder began to appear. And a huge lightning bolt zapped into Hijikata's room.
What happened next was a mystery but when Hijikata opened his eyes, there was a transparent figure standing right in front of him.
"M-Mitsuba..."
"Toshiro san..."
"Big sister!" Sougo dashed towards the ghostly figure and passed right through her.
"Sou chan!" She hugged him as she saw him pass right through her.
But he still passed right through her but it didn't matter to them anymore.
She then faced Hijikata, he blushed as he saw her face.
"Mitsuba, is that really you?..."
"Yes..." She answered as she passed right through him.
Chills went down his spine. Now he's looking at her with a panicked face.
"H-Happy to s-see you too."
"Hijkata san, don't forget you still have to go on a date with her." Sougo said as he gave him an evil glare, "Unless you want to break her heart to come here for nothing?"
"Dam him!" Hijikata thought to himself, "How come he's not spooked by it at all? Even if I want to ditch the request, the writer would blackmail me with a bunch of crap."
"What's wrong Toshiro?" Mitsuba asked.
"N-Nothings wrong!" He charted his teeth, "Y-You want to g-go on a d-d-date with me?"
Mitsuba face lit up brightly "YES!"
They then slowly walked away from the headquarters.
"Bye Hijikata san." Sougo waved his handkerchief "Have fun before your life force gets sucked out."
"Where's Toshi going Sougo?" Kondo asked as he was strolling with Yamazaki.
"Oh he's taking a day of today since he promised to date big sis today."
At the local restaurant where all the Gintama charters hangout, Hijikata was staring at the other side of the table which Mitsuba was reading the menu.
At the bystanders point of view, the man is crazy as he's treating a tombstone to lunch since they could not see Mitsuba.
The rest of the Trio Shinsngumi were at another table spying on them.
Yamazaki questioned, "Err Commander, why is vice commander having lunch with a tombstone?"
"Yamazaki," Kondo spoke as he watching them with his binoculars, "That's a tribute to the dead. In order to tell them that food here, they placed the food in front of the tombstone with joss stick on an ash bowl and chopsticks standing on the food as offerings."
"If he dares to upset my sister in anyways," Sougo grumbled as his points his bazooka, "I'll make him have the same ending as her!"
"S-So, Mitsuba, Hijikata mumbled his words, "Have you decided to order anything?..."
"Oh," she replied, "I'll have anything your having. Toshiro."
He always liked it when she says his name as she usually doesn't dare to but now, it feels more like she's cursing every time she says his name.
"T-Then I have Katsudon!"
5 minutes' later, 2 Katsudons was severed on the table. Hijikata was squirting everything the mayonnaise bottle has to offer. While Mitsuba on the other hand tried to reach out for the spicy red pepper but could not even touch it.
"Um...Toshiro, could you please help me arrange the food?" She asked gently, "Because I'm a spirit and I can't touch the things here in the mortal world."
"Gulp. H-How m-may I help you?.."
"Just add red pepper spice and a lot of Tabasco sauce. I want it to cover to whole dish, and could you help me make the chopstick stand up on the Katsudon so that I could use it?"
"U-Uh sure..." Hijikata murmured as he looked at the people staring at him.
"Is something wrong?"
"N-No! It's just that I'm worried that it may cause you a heart burn..."
"It's fine. I've eaten so much spicy food and never had such a big deal of it." She continued, "After all, now that I'm a spirit, I have no more health to look take care of."
"Oiiiiii! This is really creepy!" Hijikata thought to himself. "It's good that she's no longer sickly now but it feels so god dam wrong!"
"Itadakimasu."
They both quietly eat their meal. Hijikata could not stuff any food in his mouth as he was silently watching Mitsuba slowly using the chopsticks he placed for her.
The Shinsengumi trio (expect Yamazaki) watched in amazement. They done offerings before but this is the first time they have seen a ghost actually eating.
"Tisk..." Sougo remarked, "It went well."
They went down the streets of Kabuki District. The passerby's were staring at Hijikata as he was carrying Mitsuba's Tablet.
"S-So where do you want to go M-Mitsuba?" Hijikata asked.
"I would like to visit that silver haired man," she answered, "I wanted to thank him for everything even though he might not be able to see me..."
"Oh d-don't worry. we'll go see him right away!"
"Crap! What am I thinking?" He thought to himself, "If I run into that silver hair bastard, he'll make a fool out of me!"
They walked to the path where the Yorozuya is. And just nicely enough, they ran into the person their looking for.
"Eh? Gin san," his 4 eyed apprentice asked, "Is that really a way to moan?"
"Har?" He was picking his nose, "I don't really care since we have to find Kagu-"
They stared at the poor sucker who he least expected.
"Shit!" he thought to himself "Even if they can see Mitsuba, it'll still be hard to explain..."
"Oh, Hijikata san?" Shinpachi greeted as he looked at the name written on the tablet."Who's Mitsuba?"
"Tablet? What tablet?" Hijikata quickly hid the tablet behind him on the ground.
"Oi, oi mayora," Gintoki remarked "do you miss her that much? It's been more than 100 episodes since her death."
"Oi, shut up you stupid perm head," He braked back, "You're the one who sent me that letter right? It doesn't concern you, stay out of it!"
"Oh I get it, you have to date a ghost!" Gintoki gave a mocking face "Oh ho ho ho, your life force is slowly being sucked out!"
Hijikata stayed stiff for a while then jolted in fear, "HEEEEHHHH?!"
"Oi! Don't mess with me!"
"Yeah but unlike me, I learned to control stands so n-nothing affects me..."
"But Gin san," Shinpachi cut in, "You're just as afraid of ghost as much as Hijikata san."
"SHUT UP!" The 2 older men roared, "YOU"RE IN NO POSITION TO TALK AS YOU'RE JUST AS SCARED AS US!"
Shinpachi shrink back for awhile and realized that so did the ghost.
Their words where in prefect union as they spoke, then they point daggers towards each other.
"Oi. Quit copying me you stupid perm head."
"Ha! Who wants to copy you? But who do I care? I'm not the one who's gonna get cursed."
"Argh! I had it with you! We're leaving Mitsuba, this is a waste of ti-"
Hijikata flinched, someone stole the tablet while he was off guard along with her spirit. Then he caught his eyes van which drove off in extreme speed along with the tablet which was binded with charms.
"TOSHIRO!"
"MITSUBA!"
Hijikata ran towards the van but could not catch up as it was too fast. But strangely a normal person would collapse, but he didn't even when going up against a car.
Just when he really felt like collapsing, a Shinsengumi car came to pick him.
"Toshi! Get on! We're gonna save Mitsuba dono!" Kondo yelled as he opened the door for him.
"Hijikata san," Sougo glared, "you let my sister get kidnapped. Unless she's saved, I'll kill you."
"Captain Okita!" Yamazaki exclaimed, "Please calm down! We're all in this together!"
"You guys..." Hijikata mumbled, "Alright then. LET'S GO!"
In the cemetery, Mitsuba's tablet was still standing in one piece but her spirit was binded by charms.
"Heh heh, We got ourselves some nice spirit for our schemes."
She stared at her surroundings in horror, she saw a human shape wood carving. She's been kidnapped by corrupted onmyojis with a huge gang of thugs.
"But what if she refuses to listen to us?"
"Heh it doesn't matter, we can always tame her if she dares to disobey."
She defiantly doesn't like what they just planned for her. From the looks of it, they want to turn her into their 'little ghost'.
(A little ghost is a spirit steals from tourist and locals in some countries. A human shaped wooden figure would be craved. Ashes from the dead are sprinkled and finally the prayers are offered bring their spirit back to life.)
"Since we brought out a spirit already, it saves a lot of time for us from the ashes part. We can just transfer the ghost into the wooden figure."
She shrink back as she heard their laughter.
"We'll be rich enough in no time."
"Despicable."
"Har?" The thug questioned.
"Using the dead for your schemes, we're not that pitiful or desperate to remain here and yet, you're disturbing our rest for your selfish desires. You disgust me."
"Why you...DAM BITCH!"
The onmyoji used a charm which gave her an electric shock continually.
Since she has no more life to be killed, it could go on forever and feel the pain with the inability to pass out as well.
But her pain was within somewhere else, her heart.
She remembered as Hijikata reacted as he was with Gintoki earlier. She didn't think that a miracle would happen...
"Oi. Spirits are already being upset by the fact that they already no longer belong to this world, and yet you still try to torturer them more by forcing them into a world that no longer welcomes them."
The charms that clinged on Mitsuba were slashed off by the person she least expects as his next action was to lit up a cigarette.
Her eyes widen as she saw his face.
"Toshiro!"
"Bastard..."
The thugs was knocked out one after another. 3 other Shinsengumi members charged through the formation of onmyojis.
The onmyojis summoned spirits from their charms to fight for them. Some even let the spirits processed their own bodies. But the trio bragged through whatever was thrown at them as they have 1 priority and that is to save Mitsuba.
"I-Impossible! How could mere humans defeat our powerful spirits?!"
"Your puny spirits are no match for us." Hijikata said as he pointed his sword at the leader, "For we are the Shaman Kings." (But there can only be 1. But who cares, this is a parody after all...)
"T-Toshiro..."
Mitsuba blushed as she held his hand as they were walking on the bridge.
"I never thought that you would actually save me..."
Hijikata stared at the ghostly palm gripping his hand tightly but he couldn't fell a thing at all.
"I don't count that as saving you. You're already gone from mother nature, and don't think of this too much. It's just that I feel bad for not being there for your last moments."
The Shinsengumi trio along with the 2 Yorozuya men were secretly watching everything from below the bridge. Sougo was holding onto his sister's tablet as he notices her becoming even more faded.
"Even though it's just for 1 day, I'm very happy to be able to spend time with yo-"
"Mitsuba." She was interrupted by Hijikata as he puffed out a smoke, "You're the one who sent out that letter right? The writer was never good at romance to began with so it's impossible for her to even think about using romance."
"Your right." Mitsuba smiled sadly, "I asked her to let me reach you. Knowing that you won't accept it if I just wrote it directly to you, she wrote it as her own request knowing that you can't turn down requests from her."
"Come on don't say that. Your just making me feel bad as if I'm a horrible person."
"You don't have to."
Mitsuba was floating in the air making Hijikata aware that it's times up. She then gave a big smile.
"Because, I'm already happy."
Hijikata reached out his hand for Mitsuba who reached out hers as well.
As she grabbed his hand, he could actually feel warmth from it. But the warmth was mostly felt from his lips as she kissed him.
"Goodbye, Toshiro..."
Slowly letting go, she faded into the air, leaving the motionless Hijikata once again alone.
"Gin san," The 4 eyed straight man looked at his boss with a gloom face, "I really feel bad for Hijikata san."
"Aiya whatever." The lazy silver samurai scratched his head, "That's why you kids weren't at that episode you know. You would just brawl like babies."
"Speaking of which, where's Kagura chan? She's been gone for the whole request."
"Dunno, probably the writer needs her for something."
True enough, near the area where the onmyojis were, Kagura was there holding a huge bundle of cash.
"Heh, this is fun. Getting paid by the writer to blackmail some onmyoji thugs is really worth it. I wonder what other pranks she has planned for me? Can't wait for more money to roll in!"
I got less motivated on Gintama fics lately, but I was almost done with this one so I decided to publish it anyway.
I should have post this on Valentine's day but I don't really care about that day as I've never celebrate it.
As for the other request, I'm almost done. I just need suggestions for the sadistic game shows since I'm not so much of a sadist at all. I also don't really play pranks. Please leave some suggestions in the reviews.
And thanks for reading :)
