I'll be the Princess and You'll be the Princess

A Fiction story by Takagi based on Gintama


Chapter 4: "Make Sure to Address Someone with His/Her Honorific Suffix to Someone You Had Just Met!"


"Gintoki! Don't you dare touch my body with your filthy hands!"

"But this IS your hand! Don't make me confused! And by the way, how am I supposed to got changed if you don't allow me to use these hands?"

Under the spell of a ghost, Kyuubei and Gintoki switched body. It had been troubling them when the situation called for private moments like using the toilet, taking a bath, etc. The woman, of course, always refused to allow the man saw or touched her body although he was the one who was in charge of moving it.

"You are hiding something fishy! I can feel it, bastard! You are going to see my body with those perverted eyes of yours!"

"Ugh. This is very troublesome! It's men's nature and I can't hold it!"

Not only they were switched, they also shared the emotions of each other. It was like their entire five senses were connected.

It's almost 10 AM but the group still hadn't left the Yagyuu state yet. The Yorozuya knew that it was the best to go to the amusement park before the sun was on top however Kyuubei's father, Yagyuu Koshinori, insisted to serve his guest by giving countless drinks and snacks. Of course this had made them (especially Kagura) happy, but they need to get out of there if they wanted to go to the amusement park. Still, Kagura didn't seem to mind eating or asking for more snacks which had made the Shimura siblings felt uneasy. Shinpachi made a sigh every time the Yato girl requested another huge bowl of senbe.

Aside from Kagura's insane appetite, Gintoki and Kyuubei's were also at fault for taking their time too long. They couldn't go without Gintoki if they want to get that special prize. The three were relieved as a voice they knew very well echoed in the parlor.

"Thanks for waiting guys," Gintoki said as he stepped in with Kyuubei.

"Gintoki-dono. It's been awhile," Koshinori rose to greet him. "I heard you sparred with Kyuubei in our dojo. I hope Kyuubei could learn a thing or two from you, Gintoki-dono."

He answered spontaneously, "No worries, Papa. I had made sure that I…"

"OI, ARE YOU AN IDIOT?! I'm so not calling your dad 'Papa'! It's not gentle and more importantly, he's not my dad!" The real Gintoki quickly interfered in the mind-link they shared.

"Y—you are right!"

The mood was really awkward as everyone was quite shocked upon Gintoki's answer. They'd never imagine that Gintoki would call someone as Papa. Not to mention it was someone's father who was really sensitive about the way his daughter addresses him.

"Did you just call me Papa?"

"N—no! I was saying 'where is my Parfait'? Did you mistake it… ummm… Koshinori-dono?" Kyuubei managed to prevent her father's suspicion although Gintoki still felt that it was not really his style to call anyone with their honorific.

"Is that so… Well, your little companion had eaten it a while ago. Do you want me to order our maids to make another one?"

"That damn brat!"

"HUH? Kyuubei! What's with your language?" Her father yelled.

"YOU STUPID! Don't make him angry if you don't want to make anyone find out about us!" Kyuubei warned him.

"Apologize, Papa-ue. But you misheard it. I would never spoke in bad language. It will be a disgrace to Yagyuu family." Gintoki somehow managed to nail the Yagyuu princess which had brought her into amazement.

"I see… Then why did you yell back there?"

"I was just too hectic about the manga I read last night…"

"WAIT A SEEEEC!" Shinpachi suddenly rose from the tatami. As a genuine tsukkomist, he could not just sit back and didn't say anything in this awkward scene. There's an urge from the inside that made him shouted like that. "There's no way Kyuubei-san would read mangas! She's too diligent and hard-working to consider reading mangas! She'd rather train 'til drop than reading some fiction stories! What happened to you…"

He gulped before he realized something, "… Co—could it be!"

"T—that's right Shinpachi-kun…" She turned her head away, blushing. "Actually, I really like reading manga."

"WHAAT?!" The whole audiences were dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about, idiot!?"

"If you think that I could live this life without manga, then you are wrong. I always read manga before training in the dojo. I also always read JUMP before I sleep or when I'm using the toilet," she explained.

"Y-you are destroying my image here, Gintoki!"

Kyuubei kept speaking despite him being scolded by the body's original owner; Gintoki seemed to enjoy this, "I am afraid if Papa-ue find out, he will scold me every day due-to this inappropriate deeds, so I always keep it a secret from everyone…"

Watching his only daughter making such sad face had made Koshinori feel bad. "You stupid… It's alright to read manga. It is what men do!"

"HE FELL FOR IT!?"

Kyuubei could not believe that Gintoki could fool her father so easily. She now thought that Gintoki was a good actor, great enough to get into a nominee of stupidest comedy movie actor.

Suddenly, Kagura let out a very loud burp. It was really loud that it had made a strong wind enough to blow off Shinpachi's glasses to the exit door. It should have hit Gintoki if Kyuubei didn't react quickly to avoid it.

"Ah! I'm sorry Shinpachi!" Kagura stood.

"Geez, Kagura. You should control your… HEY! I AM HERE!" He yelled at the orange-haired girl who was now picking his glasses and asking for its forgiveness.

"Now, now everyone… Have you forgotten why we came here?" Otae, who had been in silence since the duo made their appearance, stood up and approached her companions.

"Ah. Yes, Ane-ue. Koshinori-san. We'll be taking our leave," Shinpachi bowed after he got his glasses back. He then stepped down from the wooden corridor to put his feet on his sandals again, followed by his older sister and Kagura.

Gintoki was still standing at the mouth of the parlor with Kyuubei and Koshinori.

"Well then, Pa- ahem. Koshinori-dono. We will also take our leave."

"Ah, yes."

"I will be borrowing Kyuubei until 7 PM. So don't bother sending your men to find us."

"BORROWING? And what do you think you are saying?" Gintoki commented in the mind-link.

"But Toujo will be a hurdle for us if we are about to do the ghost's request! He would stick around us!"

Koshinori was a little bit flushed here. As a man who desired to live a celebrity life, he actually learned it through watching TV. There's one time that he watched this romantic TV show about a boy asking for his girlfriend's father's permission to ask her out. He couldn't help but to follow the father on that TV show as a reference to his answer.

"A—alright. But you must take a good care of our Kyuubei, Gintoki-dono. Otherwise…" He made a very scary face, looked up to dagger a glance towards Gintoki, "You are dead."

"Uuh… Kyuubei? I'm not going to promise anything here, okay?"

"Understood," he nodded. "I would protect her from any men who approach her!"

Gintoki felt betrayed. It seemed like Kyuubei was also made to watch the very same show by her father, hence the related answer.

After waving a good bye with Kyuubei's father, they now walked away from the Yagyuu state's main building and went to the gate together with the other three who had been waiting for them. Kyuubei warned Gintoki not to go too far from her all day this day. She understood that Gintoki was a natural pervert in the heart and thus she afraid his perversion would soar sometime which of course would make her body in nasty danger. Of course she could just beat him to pulp afterwards in case it happened, but it would be weird if she hurt her own body.


The group had taken a bus and an hour later, they were already at the amusement park. Under the clear blue sky, it was already crowded at the entrance throughout the park. There were so many people in front of the gate, chattering with their friends or family happily. They could hear the theme music of the amusement park, the sound of a roller coaster with people's scream just from there. This had made all Yorozuya members and the girls smiled. They felt an urge, wondering to try that ride together; a feeling that someone normally felt when he/she witnessed the very same scene.

They could easily find silver-haired men as it dominated the population of the park, much to Shinpachi's tsukkomi.

"WHAT IS THIIIS!? SO MANY SILVER-HAIRED MEN! It's like everyone desperately try to get the bonuses!"

"Gin-chan, welcome home! You must have missed your home-planet!"

"THIS IS MY PLANET!" Gintoki mentally said.

They had to go into the park fast if they didn't want to spend too much time on queuing for the rides later. They were now queuing to buy the ticket. The customers had to put their money into a machine to get their tickets. The Yorozuya could see that there was also other machine before that money machine to check every customer who claimed that they were going with a silver-haired man. It made sure that those who would get the discount were only of those with natural silver-hair. Many people had failed to trick the ticket counter checker. Of course the group was confident because they were going with the silver-haired Gintoki.

"Oooi, Yorozuya," suddenly an old man called them from an empty ticket counter.

"Hiraga-san!"

"Come here, Yorozuya! You can get your ticket here! Don't worry!"

They had just come and the queue was still a long way. They got no reason not to go to the ticket counter.

"Geezer… What are you doing here?" Kyuubei asked.

"KYUUBEI-SAN? Why are you suddenly so rude towards someone you had just met?"

Gintokiwas scolded mentally by Kyuubei afterwards.

"Who are you? You should not hang out with these guys if you don't want your brain screwed," Hiraga said.

"It matters not, does it? What are you doing here, old man?" Gintoki intervened before Kyuubei spoke another word that might humiliate Yagyuu clan's image.

"This is my amusement park. I made all of those rides."

The Yorozuya was surprised, "OOH! That's amazing, Hiragi-san!"

"That's our old geezer!"

"I'm amazed! Does that mean we will get an extra acquaintance discount!?" Kyuubei asked eagerly, resulting another scolding in the mind-link.

"We had just met you know…" The old man answered. "Well, you know that I would give you a discount and bonuses if you bring a silver-haired man with you, right?"

"Fine then…" She sighed in disappointment.

They got the ticket after they paid the money to Hiragi. The old man said that they could exchange their special tickets for other bonuses at a counter somewhere in the theme park. As they entered the gate excitedly, they opened their eyes as wide as they could. They could see a sea of people; walking, chattering, eating, queuing for rides all in happy face. There's not a single sad person there.

It was the first time ever for the Yorozuya and Otae and Kyuubei as well, to come to an amusement park. They believe such place was only existed on TV but here they were today, standing together at a 'wonderland'.

Gintoki, whose mind was linked with Kyuubei at the moment, could feel happiness flowing from Kyuubei's side. Because of this, the link space in his mind was very bright, far from the usual normal condition.

"Hey, Shinpachi. Kagura. Let's try that ride!" Kyuubei overzealously persuade them. Shinpachi felt that this Kyuubei was a little bit out of place, but he didn't really care about it because he thought that it was normal for anyone to suddenly change at a theme park.

"Let's go, Kyuu-chan!"

However, she finally realized something really important.

"Huh? Wait… Where's Kyuu—ahem… Gintoki?"

"Huh? Ane-ue isn't here either… maybe they were finding the exchange bonus booth?" Shinpachi answered.

"Uuugh… He took away Anego from us. Why would Anego wanted to go with him? What's so good about that good for nothing man? It's not like he got more salary than me!" Kagura commented.

"… Wait…"

Kyuubei concentrated to his mind, trying to send Gintoki atelepathy via the mind-link. It was like saying something in her mind, but with more efforts. She began to hear something and was able to locate their position.


Meanwhile away from them, Gintoki waswalking with Otae.

"Gin-san… Where are the others?"

"Ah, now that you mentioned it. Seems like it is just the two of us, Tae-chan…"

"Tae-chan?"

"U—UGH!"

This is bad, if she found out if Gintoki and I switched bodies, we could not go back to our bodies!

"Why did you call me like that? This is not like you, Gin-san…"

"Aaah! There's nothing behind it, you see. It's up to me on how I call anyone! I even called Kyuubei's father 'Papa' before! You heard it too, didn't you Tae…"

Otae was only stared at him but it was enough to make him stop speaking. She had a feeling that Gintoki was not like usual. He was more delicate (especially towards her) and gentle. He did not pick his nose or ears. He addressed Kyuubei's dad with his honorific. He called her Tae-chan, something that had only been done by someone who really cared about her.

She then threw away her head from him.

"I—It's alright, Gin-san."

"What?"

"You can call me that way if you want…" She said, blushing.

"W—why is she blushing!? Did I miss something that could make that Gorilla woman blush!? Did Kyuubei say something to her with my body? She is hitting on her, doesn't she!? " Gintoki, who had been spying on them from afar with Kagura and Shinpachi, shouted in the mind-link space.

Unlike Kagura who was still paying attention on eating her takoyaki, Shinpachi was also looking at his older sister and noticed her blush on her cheeks and a very delightful smile. Shinpachi felt that he should be happy seeing her smile. However he felt something dark in his heart.

"Kyuubei-san… Those two… They can't be dating right?"
