Chapter Three:
Beware of terrorists and bazooka's they're everywhere.
They walked together down the hallway, making their way towards the backyard to practice. The girl stayed quiet walking down the hallway with the two other boys, as they were talking with one another, well more like arguing calmly. They were unarmed with any weapons, as the girl who was walking with them carried the same sword she had with her for years.
As they enter the backyard they take a wooden sword from the side getting ready to practice, she stood at the side wanting to watch them practice. As they practice with her watching the white headed samurai called out to her, "Hey, get over here and practice along with us. Its annoying seeing you sit there doing nothing, it makes me want to join you."
He was practically forced into practice by the dark headed male, who practically hid his sword somewhere. If he had taken her sword she would have joined them as well, but she was more protective over her precious sword than anyone else. She looked up at him before shaking her head, "I don't want to."
Sometimes it bothered the white headed boy that she could do whatever the hell she wanted when it came to practice. But she had her reasons, and the only other person who knows about this is her savoir and teacher.
The long haired male sighed hitting the white headed boy on the head, "Shut up, Gintoki." He spoke slightly irritated, "You should pay more attention to your surroundings than just a person standing in the sidelines."
As he rubbed his hurt head before glaring at the long haired man, "Shut up! Zura!"
Edo was the usual like every other day, the streets being filled with Amanto and Humans, angry shop owners shouting at their new workers, a commotion going on around every other corner. That was the daily life of Edo, but somehow today another event was occurring as the [Hair Color] woman walked past Yorozuya. Somehow every time she walked past Yorozuya an incident seems to occur.
Loud voices could be heard from the Yorozuya, the passer byers looking at the Yorozuya hideout bewildered by commotion occurring in the house. As the tumult grew louder the shopkeeper downstairs stomped up the stairs clearly in a vexed state. "Gintoki! Shut the hell up or I'll raise your rent!" She roared from behind the door.
After hearing the shop keepers threating roar the house turned soundless, nothing could be heard from the other side. All of a sudden they heard a tumble from the other side before a man was thrown through the entrance of the Yorozuya. He wasn't the only one who was thrown, a big white duck like creature was thrown along with him making it obvious that they were both Katsura and Elizabeth.
As he was going to land onto the ground he spotted the heterochromatic girl across of him, his face hit the floor causing a big dent to appear underneath him. He stayed like that for a few seconds before appearing in front of the [Hair Color] girl, "Would you like to join my organization?"
She gave him a blank stare, hearing that question every single time she collided with him. And as usual she would always reply with a, 'Not interested', or a blunt 'No'. The long haired man was too persistent to let her join, it's the same with the white headed perm he was also in the same situation with the dark headed terrorist.
As she was about to open her mouth to reply, she jumped to the side of the road. A bazooka was fired from the distance by a boy with sandy brown hair, he seemed like he was part of Shinsengumi. Judging by the uniform and the pack of other men with the same uniform.
"Tch," She could hear the long haired man say as he looking at his strange friend, "Come on, Elizabeth!"
With that the man and his undefined friend ran towards the other direction running away from the Shinsengumi, the Shinsengumi not willing to let him get away chased after him, "Katsura!" They yelled coming after him.
From the distance laughter could be heard from this distance, from the dark headed terrorist. As she was standing there the boy that she bumped into the other day at the entrance of the white headed man's house was standing right next to her. When he spotted her he smiled at her, "Ah, you must be Gin-san's friend."
She looked at the young teenaged boy thinking wither or not she was the white headed man's friend, before nodding her head. He smiled before inviting her into Yorozuya, "Come on in."
She entered the house for the first time through the door, as she entered she looked around the area seeing a big mess. The large amount for people who were in the house must have caused it, and the big white dog seemed to be the cause of it. There was also a big red bump on its head, somehow the thought of the dark headed terrorist causing it was most likely the reason.
The glasses wearing boy took her to a room where the couches were parallel from each other with a table in between the two, a desk was also placed far off front. She sat on one of the couches, making herself at home. The white headed man wasn't bothered to clean up the mess that his pet dog had made as she saw him slouching on one of the couches.
He laid on his couch with a Jump issue on his face, as he pretended to snore when the glasses wearing boy came in. The glasses wearing boy stared blankly at his boss, before turning to the [Hair Color] girl who sat across of him, "Would you like some tea?"
The [Hair Color] girl though for a second before nodding her head. The white headed man suspected that it was her who came to visit, but he wasn't sure. He peeked under his Jump book seeing her at the couch from across of him. He decided to ignore her as he continued to pretend that he was sleeping.
When the glasses wearing boy left the room she walked towards the white headed man. She stared down at his face that was covered up by the Jump, she wasn't staring at him she was staring at the Jump that covered his face. She picked up the book from his face as she walked back to her seat to read it.
Now it was obvious that the white headed man was faking his sleep as he laid there with no expression on, as his eyes were sealed shut. His face was covered in sweat drops as he was debating mentally if he should wake up and take his Jump or just stay like that until she leaves.
His ears perked up when he heard her fingers run through the thin paper of his precious Jump book, her fingers running down to the corner of the page. When she was about the turn the page he instantly shot up from the couch and snatched the book away from her grip.
He made it clear that his choice would be to take his precious Jump book back from her grip, as she sat there with a satisfied look on her face.
She planned it.
She planned it like she knew what he would do. It has always been that was since they were young, but he always planned to somehow surpass this perfect judgment of hers. She looked at him with a questionable look on her face before stating in her usual blunt tone, "I thought you were asleep."
He gave her a glare before laying down on the couch again, putting the book on his face before he said, "I can't sleep without the Jump on my face."
"It would be troublesome if you didn't sleep with it, huh?" She said before she pointed at the book, "But why would you take my dictionary and not your Jump?"
The white headed man looked at the book that he snatched from the [Hair color] girl's grip seeing as it was a dictionary. He looked at her seeing as his Jump was in her grip, she swung it left and right seducing the white headed Jump loving adult. His eyes trailing after the book at every swing. She stopped swinging the book as she opened the book deciding to read it. The white headed man didn't seem too happy about his Jump being read by another person, he didn't want its covers to be tarnished.
As the [Hair Color] girl read through it, the glasses wearing boy came in with a tray of tea. He served the heterochromatic girl her tea as he poured some for himself, he looked at the white headed man who seemed to be a little nervous. When he saw that his Jump was in [Hair Color] girls hands he understood right away what was going on.
She slammed to book shut before stretching out her hand to Gintoki, he places her dictionary on her hand before she shakes her head. She places the dictionary next to her before she brings her hand out once more. He decides to ask her, "What do you want?"
She picked up the Jump book and handed it to him, before replying to his question, "I want to borrow the previous Jump Issues."
He raises an eyebrow at her, as a smug ass smirk appears on his face as he began saying sarcastically, "Oh, I see. But you know if I-"
"I'll buy the next two issues, just for the previous issues." She cut him off before he could proceed, if the man before her hasn't change from the years she has known him, than his habits won't change either.
"Deal." He said almost immediately after hearing what she said. Getting free Jump wasn't something he would let pass by, and having known the woman before him, she would never turn down her own words.
On that very day, the [Hair Color] girl walked back home with some of the previous issues of Jump. As he decided to wait for the new releases to come out, though, as he sat down on his couch he realized something. She didn't tell him that she would buy if for him.
