ACT 3

Kamui had finally arrived at the wedding, but in the most unfashionable way possible.

Kagura studied her brother's sly face, was he telling the truth, or was this just one of those out-of-place jokes that Kamui told once in a while?

It was as if he read her mind, "I am serious dear sister," his smile intact. "It's time for our clan to take over this world. I had hoped your wedding was over already so you would be the next heir to this place, but it doesn't matter, we're strong enough to take it by force anyway." He held his hand out to her. "Join me would you."

Kagura slapped his arm as hard as she possibly could. "Are you insane? Of course I won't join you, idiot! Where's papi, what have you done to him?"

"I told you, I killed him. That's why I'm late."

"Why?" she screamed, tears popping up in the corner of her eyes.

He didn't flinch, "now you're being the idiot. You know why... Father was weak; it was time for a new, stronger and more ambitious leader." He grabbed Kagura's arm. "And I'm not asking, I'm telling you to come with me."

Both Sougo and Hijikata dropped Gintoki on the floor. They sheathed their katanas and directed it at the violent redhead.

"Well looky here, you think you're strong enough to oppose me?"

"I'm the resident sadist here, unhand my toy," Sougo deadpanned. Kagura managed to kick him somehow. "Hey I'm defending you China, don't assault your knight in shining armor."

"That's the spirit sister! Now kill him so we can get out of here."

"I'd rather marry that useless man over there and have him executed, than kill him now and follow you."

"You're being difficult as always." He tugged a little harder in her arm, "Fine, I'll cook you your favorite for dinner, rice with egg, please just do as your big brother tell you."

Kagura wrestled herself out of his grip. "Food isn't everything Kamui. I won't go with you. I'd rather stay here and eat dark matter and mayonnaise forever!"

"Then I don't see any other option than to make you follow me." Kamui's sly smile turned into a slightly evil grin. He grabbed a hold of the umbrella in his belt and jumped several meters back. He aimed his weapon at the two men that had threatened him with their swords "It was a pleasure meeting you, see you in the afterlife." He fired away at them.

Hijikata and Sougo used their katanas to dodge his bullets, but they were unable to counter attack at this range. Kagura opened her own umbrella that she'd hidden underneath her dress (in case of emergency) and shielded them. "Get away from here, you're no match for a Yato."

"Like I'd let a little girl dictate me,"

"Shut up Hijikata,"

"Yes, shut up Hijikata, go-and-die-Hijikata"

"That's getting really old, you-go-and-die!"

"Both of you go and die!" Katsura yelled from the audience. Kagura fired a warning shot at him. "Leader, be careful, you almost killed your standby fath…" She threw both her high-heeled shoes in his face.

"Save your prince or whatever, I'll deal with my brother," she gave the two men a serious look. They nodded and took the prince between them. "Everyone! Please evacuate the church for your own safety." She didn't have to ask twice, everyone ran out leaving the siblings alone.

"Now it's just you and me," she turned to face Kamui.

Kamui gave her his usual sly smile and came at her with all his might. She parried and jumped to the side. He anticipated her move and managed to slit her stomach, blood staining the white fabric.

Kagura covered the wound with her left hand, 'damn, I can't move properly wearing this thing!' She tore of the skirt part of the dress. She was glad Hinowa had made her wear those ridiculous frilly underpants one did underneath a gown like this; she would have been pretty undressed otherwise.

Her older brother shook his head. "You ruined your dress, what would the seamstress say to this?"

Kagura retorted by jumping up in the air, showering him with bullets. He opened his umbrella, stopping every last one of the. While he was busy doing this, Kagura went at him with full speed, using her weapon as a bat to knock him out.

Kamui was too fast and stopped her umbrella with his own, right when it was about to hit his head. He smiled at her "you loose" and punched her in the gut with his free hand. His strength was too much for her to handle, she fell down on her knees, wrapping her arms around her stomach. Kamui kicked her in the head. She fell down, her eyes flickered a little, she was about to lose consciousness.

The violent yato was about to give her another kick when his foot was suddenly stopped in midair. Kagura looked up at her savior. It was the useless crown prince, Gintoki!

Gintoki used his sword to slash Kamui in the stomach. The yato hadn't noticed when he'd entered the room, the prince had used this as an advantage to overpower the terrorist.

"Well isn't it my soon to be brother-in-law. How're doing?" Kamui said with his fox-smile.

"Feeling much better now that I'm able to kick the ass of the man who arranged this idiotic event."

"Idiotic? You should feel proud that you almost married a yato," he knocked away Gintoki's sword. "Not that you can now, I've changed my mind."

"Suits me just fine, she's a flat chested brat anyway. Ketsuno Ana is the only woman I would willfully marry."

"My-my you're ungrateful," Kamui readied himself to attack again.

Kagura tried to speak up, but her mind went dark and she drifted away.

"Kagura-chan?" a familiar voice called out to her.

Kagura blinked her eyes, her head felt heavy and she could barely see through the mist. "What papi?"

"You're okay! My sweet innocent girl is okay!" her father embraced her violently.

"Au watch it! My head, my head hurts…" Umibouzu let go of his daughter. "What happened? Didn't Kamui kill you?" She couldn't see him clearly, but she could see that he shook his head.

"I was almost dead, but the Queen's guards found me at the right time. I lost and arm though." He showed her the stump, covered with bandages. "A small price to pay when I get to see my favorite child again."

"No wonder Kamui tried to kill you baldie, being so up front about who like the most." Kagura tried to sit up a little. Umibouzu adjusted the pillow for her so she could be more comfortable.

"I wish that was the reason, then everyone wouldn't be in danger."

"What do you think he's doing now?"

"I heard he joined the Harusame," Sougo entered the room with the crown prince and his squire.

"You mean the infamous space pirates?" Kagura asked.

"Looks like" Gintoki sat down beside her bed, "how're you feeling?"

"The way I look," Kagura replied

Sougo was leaning against the wall next to her head "Like a piggish monster?"

"That was really unkind Okita-san!" the glasses said.

She hit Sougo in the stomach. He hit her back in the arm, with less force than she had anticipated. 'I must really be wrecked if he's being this gentle' "I need to thank you, all of you" her eyes traced between them. "You saved my father and me… I'm not sure how I'll ever be able to pay you back."

Gintoki lifted his legs up on her bed and placed his hands behind his head. "Renounce our wedding vows and we're even."

"We never took them"

"Then agree to break up the engagement," he started to pick his nose.

"Gladly."

"Then we're even." He gave her a smile and flicked a booger at his squire. His eyes almost opened above dead-fish range, as if to celebrate the occasion.

"You're making it too easy for her danna, you should make her eat garbage or something. Or force her to marry Hijikata-san."

"Why am I being punished?" Hijikata entered the room. "You four, the meeting is starting."

The men were about to leave when Kagura flung her sheets on the floor "I'm coming with." She hopped out of the bed.

"No you're not" Sougo tried to force her back down, "we don't need useless wounded brats."

Umibouzu placed his hand on Sougo's shoulder. "You can't force a yato to do anything. If we leave her here, she'll just sneak after us." Kagura grinned at her father.

"Pacchi-boy, send for her clothes" the crown prince said and waved as he walked off with Hijikata.

Sougo let go of the girl, "don't do anything reckless now," and followed after his master.

Her father was the last one to leave. "I'll see you in a bit," he smiled reassuringly

"What's this meeting for anyway?" Kagura was buttoning up the chinse-styled dress her handmaiden had gotten for her.

"Shin-chan said it had something to do with foreign affairs. You're brother's a big threat to us and our neighboring countries. Both Shogun Shige Shige and Prince Hata stayed behind to discuss the situation."

"You know a lot boss-lady," Kagura said with excitement.

Otae gave her a genuine smile, "one can learn a lot by hiding in the shadows in this castle."

"You don't struck me as someone who hides away in the shadows."

"I'm don't either, but my friend does." The chambermaid pointed at the ceiling, the purple-haired assassin from the previous night appeared from behind a wooden beam.

"Sarutobi-san! Are you still trying to kill me? It's pretty lazy of you to off someone that's already mortally wounded" Kagura asked with wonderment.

"Just call me Sacchan, and no I'm not, you're no threat to Gin and my future anymore." She jumped down on the floor. A kunai graced her hair, cutting off a good portion of it. "Hey watch it you bitch!"

"Aren't you married Sacchan?" Tsukky stood in the doorway, smoking her pipe.

"It's just a marriage of convenience." She pointed at Otae, "besides, my gorilla husband is only interested in other gorillas!"

Otae grabbed her face and threw her into the wall. "Who're you calling a gorilla Sacchan?" she said with her fake smile in place. A shiver went down Kagura's spine. All the women in this kingdom was truly terrifying.

"Otae-san" another woman entered the room. She had dark hair in a ponytail and an eye-patch. "I've come to pick up the yato girl, we can't postpone the meeting any longer."

"Ah, sorry Kyuubei-chan. We're almost finished, I just have to brush the young lady's hair."

"Don't worry about it boss-lady, I don't care if it's messy." Kagura skipped happily to the doorway.

"But Kagura-chan, you're a lady. Ladies have to look a certain way when they're out in society." Otae put a hand in front of her mouth and blushed. She realized that Kyuubei was a lady as well. She turned to look at her friend. "I'm sorry Kyuubei-chan, I didn't mean to offend you."

Kyuubei grabbed her hands and blushed, "you could never offend me Otae"

Kagura didn't really know what she was looking at. Was this some kind of Korean soap opera or something? She grabbed Kyuubei's collar and dragged her out of the room, "we were in a hurry yes?"

The meeting was held in a grand hall with a tall ceiling. There was a long table in the middle of the room and a chandelier above it. Everyone except Kagura and Kyuubei was present when they arrived. They sat down in their respective seats, Kagura by her father and Kyuubei on the other side of the table next to her grandfather.

Otose sat at the top with her two advisors and her good-for-nothing son. Gintoki was sleeping on the table, drool coming out of his mouth. His squire stood behind him, ready to service whenever his master required it.

Across from him sat a man she'd never seen before. He had brown hair and a bearded chin. His uniform suggested he might be the captain of the guards. Next to him was Hijikata, eating something indistinguishable covered in mayonnaise. 'Is that why there's an entire fridge dedicated to nothing but mayonnaise?' . She nearly puked.

Behind Hijikata stood the sadist, rubbing his hands together, glaring at the mayo-freak. 'He's definitely poisoned him! Serves him right for flaunting such a disgusting meal in front of innocent bystanders.'

Next to Kagura sat Shogun Shige Shige and his advisor Matsudaira, an older gentleman with grey hair. The advisor was known to enjoy the occasional visit to the pleasure house, and the Shoun always looked to him for advice on how to interact with the commoners. The shogun's sister wasn't there, she never took part in these sort of things. She usually spent her time with her bodyguard Nobume.

On the other side of them sat Prince Hata and his advisor Jii, both looked really uninterested. She wondered why they were there in the first place, they didn't care about earthly matters, she didn't even know why they were at the wedding, no-one liked them.

Otose rose from her chair. "Let's start this meeting."
